Honor and shame. America has become a country where we bestow honor to those who do not deserve it and we refuse to shame those who deserve to be shamed. Being bestowed honor comes with a lot of responsibility, but that seems to be a foreign concept to US government officials. We have elected officials who are 80 and 90 years old making decisions for the country, a senator who has had two strokes...

In this episode, I reunite with Nikhil Kumra after over a decade. He and I served together in the infantry in Iraq in 2004 with the 10th Mountain Division.

I tell you all why I am not impressed with her email. It has been 20 plus years since th...

On this episode I discuss the new Little Mermaid after having watched it with my family. The first thing I noticed about the movie was that there was too much diversity and it didn't make sense. Are you thinking about sending a d!ck pic to a person you met on a dating app? Just realize that you might get blackmailed with your own d!ck pick as there has been an up-tic in people being extorted by th...

July has been a crazy month filed with root canals, traveling and crazy people! Despite being a few weeks behind on the podcast, I think it's important that I talk about some recent topics such as the lady on the plane who claims a person was not real, the Carlee Russell incident, The US Soldier who defected to North Korea. I know we are not suppose to talk about 2020, but considering Jason Alden'...

This week I am joined in studio by Jason Kiefer who is 1/3 of the One More And I'm Outta Here Podcast. Jason came down to hang with me for the day so we could have a little man date with zero man love. I showed Jason around Louisville and even took him on a quick trip through the hood to see the best spots for getting the best friend chicken in town and the highest probability of becoming a murder...

In this episode, I am joined by fellow author and veteran, Christian Bussler. He is the author of No Greater Honor No Tougher Duty: A Memoir Of A Mortuary Affairs Marine.

Th...

As the world anxiously waits to learn the fate of the wealthy people who paid $250,000 dollars to see the Titanic, everyone is asking "why would anyone pay that much money to do that?" Sit back and listen to me explain why I think rich people get board and do wild, and crazy stuff the rest of us average income people would never imagine doing. The Biden administration holds a Pride party at the Wh...

Summer time is upon us and that means more work and crazy police calls and encounters for me while I am on the streets.

With all the things I see and encounter in my job as a police officer, it always reminds me that I need to be present and active in my child...

After an extended hiatus and much needed break, I am back for episode 96! In this episode I explain my absence over the last few weeks and give the United States Navy crap for using drag queens to recruit and advertise. For the first time in my adult life, I now tell young Americans to reconsider joining the military due to it's priorities being out of line. You tell we are entering the political...

The month of April has been emotionally and mentally taxing to not only me, but all of my fellow officers in Louisville and our families. Multiple mass shootings, unprecedented violence, and drama at every level of life. In this episode I talk about Louisville’s mass shooting, the 9th street divide and how I am seeing America’s illegal immigration problem start to manifest where I work. Lastly, I...

This episode was recorded on April 8, 2023, two days before the Old National Bank mass shooting here in Louisville.  In this episode, I interview two retired LMPD officers, Lieutenant Dale Massey and Sergeant Eric Culver who have over 40 years of combined police experience and 22 years of SWAT experience. They are the founders of STAT (Strategic Threat Assessment Training). They train people and b...

On this episode, my son has gone viral on IG with almost 2 million views I tell you all my disgust for social media, more so Tik Tok, especially Tik Tok cops and reaction videos. Nashville Police Department officers set the standard for how to properly respond to an active shooter. The media, Biden Administration and Trans Activist have turned the Nashville school shooter into the victim. Is the T...

Imagine working at a job for 20 plus year with honor, loyalty and integrity. Now imagine being injured working that same job, due to no fault of your own, and your "leaders" at your job turn their backs on you and throw you to the wolves after all you sacrificed for them and the organization. Even worse, imagine waking up everyday knowing that there is a bounty on your head and that your family is...

His book is an honest and eye opening depiction of what life is like on the ground for troops on the frontline. He catches the essences of everything that...

Chinese balloons, UFO's and train derailments! February has been interesting thus far. But being that it is February and it's Black History Month, I need clarification from the black community. Is soul food: fried chicken, watermelon, greens, mac and cheese, corn bread, chittlins'... etc, the food of "the culture"  and "the people" or is it not? Black folks, it's time to make a decision! Don't be...

The interview I have been waiting for! I am joined in studio by my wife Christina. We discuss our history, marriage, children and family life. But most importantly, we have an unfiltered conversation about her life as the wife of a police officer. You all have heard my say it many times, officers never serve alone; our families serve with us. Christina opens up about what it was like for her durin...

What is a good person? There are four things people do that reveal their true character and if they are a decent person or not. I confess in this episode that I fail daily doing one of these activities. I talk about the Memphis Police incident and how the news refuses to let black people take any sort of responsibility or accountability for the incident, but puts the blame on white supremacy. Last...

In this episode I reflect on the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and the lessons he taught us as a nation that we no longer adhere to or believe.  I do a deep dive on the left vs right divide that continues to split the country when it comes politics, the January 6th incident at the Capitol and how Americans believe they only have two options. I give my two cents on the La Lergne Police Depart...

After a horrible seven days in Orlando, I am back to remind everyone not to judge and compare the quality of their lives to someone's two minute Instagram reel. It's easy to smile and dance in front of a cell phone for two minutes, while living the other 23 hours and 58 minutes in absolute dispair. Mental health in America continues to be a problem that we ignore until tragedy strikes and it's too...

The culture (the black community) goes after Coach Deion Sanders for accepting a coaching job at Colorado. Louisville Mayor Elect Craig Greenburg and President Biden are doing it for the culture with their most recent actions by hiring a new inter chief at LMPD and bringing Brittney Griner home. The democrats continue to be horrible at selecting appointees and negotiating. Is the American flag jus...

What is the future of Louisville and the police department under the leadership of new Mayor Elect Craig Greenberg? In an open letter to the new mayor elect, I share my first and only encounter with Craig Greenburg in May of 2021. LMPD Chief Shields resigns, but she is not leaving quietly.

After 10 years with the Louisville Metro Police Department, it is time for me to move on. In this episode I explain why I have decided to start a new chapter in my life.
