    EPISODE 200!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? Thank you everyone, so much, for sticking with me and the show! I'm so grateful and appreciative of your support!

    I approached Steve months ago, shortly after he retired, and asked him to be on the show. He told me he would consider it, but he needed to decompress since he had just left the job he held for more than half his life!!!!

    For 32 years he served the City of Tucson! He spent 10 years on patrol, then made it into the air unit where he was commercially certified in fixed wing and rotor craft. We only made it through his patrol time in this episode, so I'm excited to hear the stories from the air unit when he returns...

    Give him a warm welcome and enjoy the stories!!!

    Well Y'all...


    This episode is just as funny, gross and riveting as the first as we make our way through Tom's book, "Old School; The Police, The Public, and the Pranks."

    You'll mostly laugh, but I guarantee you'll enjoy the whole episode! So it's not a bad thing that he'll be back because we still have more to cover!

    Thank you all, it has been almost four years (October 27th is the show anniversary) and over 70k downloads! I'm honored, grateful and humbled to have you all here with me on this journey!
