We have turned the corner on May and we are racing toward June. The kids will be out of school soon, the vacation season will be here and summer will be more than yard work. We hope to be part of your summer by providing a humorous look at law enforcement each week. This week Mack had to take care of some personal business so that left Rich and Morgan to hog the microphones – well sort of. Those girls from Utah did try to send us an audio comment – it just didn’t work out well.

From the news department, we kick things off with our keynote story that involves alcohol, make-up, a candle and pain. On a more serious note, we discuss the issue of “sexting” and the victims on both sides of the incidents. A search of a vehicle yielded a bowl of milk with cereal, which was still cold. Speaking of food, is that a sausage in your slacks or are you glad to see me? If you eat your weapon, is that destruction of evidence? The boy just wanted to have fun at Denny’s so he was shocked by the cops’ reaction.

We have another installment of the Tales From George’s Pocketbook, our audio segment from our brother officers in Great Britain. This week George learns the importance of gathering intelligence and getting the information out to the troops who need it.

This is the Memorial Day weekend so while you are grilling up the burgers and hot dogs, take a moment to remember the men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy our freedoms. So exercise your right to great entertainment by downloading and listening to CopCAST.

This is police memorial week and the CopCAST crew is dedicating this episode to our brother and sister officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice by giving their lives in the line of duty.

The CopCAST crew had a busy week. The forests of Timmins are on fire and Mack helped out by taking pictures to post on the internet. Morgan got word that he will be traveling to China. Finally, Rich learned the basics of plumbing – hot on the left, cold on the right and shit flows down hill.

The big question of the week is will the the two girls from Utah rise to the challenge.

In the news, we begin with drunken Amish youths. Ehe Kansas City police used a Taser gun to make a point with a nude man. Gas for ass in not a good idea. A county jailer will probably end up behind bars or his police impersonation. Don’t register for a raffle when you are in the middle of a crime. Little Red Riding Hood didn’t have anything on this home invader. In our keynote story this week, we ask “What would you think if your wife and best friend were the stars in that porn dvd you bought?” Impersonating a sheriff’s deputy is never a good idea, especially when there is a real one waiting on the other side of the door. Bad service in a restaurant – shoot!

We have another installment from the life of George, our new audio segment from Great Britain. This week George worries about aging and the toll the job has taken on his body. However he discovers that was time has taken away, wisdom has replaced.

Kevin an Micheal also announce the new name for their segment this week.

The May flowers are blooming, the grass is cut and you really don’t have much to do so take a moment to download this episode of CopCAST or just listen to it from the website at http://copcast.net. You may find yourself joining the legion of listeners that listen every week.

Some of our listeners have asked about the production process for CopCAST. Of course, as you might expect, Morgan, Mack and myself are always the consummate professionals so I decided to include part of our lead in conversation with this show. Oh, by the way guys, it wasn’t Isaac Hayes, it was Barry White.

May is a “tweener” month – it isn’t really spring but it isn’t quite summer. The long and short of it is the CopCAST crew is busy doing the same thing as our legion of listeners – not much.

This week in the news we talk about a dispatcher who doesn’t like it when callers use naughty words. Don’t you just hate it when your dog decides to take a bite out of the law instead of crime. Now you can just lose yourself in one Pennsylvania township. Then across the pond, a young couple really screwed up (and down) on the queens lawn. A California man went to jail and all he got was a lousy t-shirt – and busted. The barter system is alive and well in this lawyer’s office. Talk about a panty raid! Then there is our keynote story this week. Some guys date women who are meaner than a pit bull but this guy actually dates the pit bull. Chuck Norris is protecting a bakery – really?

In this week’s installment from the life of George, our new audio segment from Great Britain, George learns a little bit about one of the other dangers of police work – citizen complaints. Kevin and Michael still haven’t come up with a name for the segment.

The April showers have brought the May flowers. Life is good! So finish cutting the grass, pop the top on a cold one, download the show, fire up the iPod and enjoy! Always remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week.

Sex sells! After last week, we had to revert to a sure winner! Not much exciting to report in the life of the CopCAST crew this week. However, Cliff Smith sent us an article about a law enforcement explorer who saved the life of an officer. 2girlsfromUtah offered a name for the adventures of George section of the show: The Bitchin Bobbies Return. Ahhh yeah . . . NO!

Should you decide you have an urge for pole dancing and topless girls, don’t go to Akron. Hey, I have an idea. Let’s take the hubby’s patrol car for a ride. A Florida deputy has a life changing accident. Take a moment and learn about the latest dumpster diving craze. In our keynote story, a man takes his girls on a trip to the Publix store. The “History Making House Party” wasn’t. Nothing says love like breaking into a minimum security prison to see your boyfriend. A man hid in the trunk of his estranged wife’s car before popping out to attack her as she drove down the highway. Tired of waiting for granny to die, just thump her.

This week George learns a little about the problems of working within the confines of the juvenile justice system.

Dave Peoples, with the Cambridge, OH P.D. wrote to say his department will be hosting a week long Advanced Tactical Team school put on by Singleton International. It will be conducted November 16-20, 2009 and you can register at http://philsingleton.com.

So shut off the lawn mower, grab a cold one, download the show, fire up the iPod and enjoy. But remember to stay safe, always wear you vest and have a great week.

Guess what? Summer is here and Morgan would like to try a cool new water sport. Water boarding a sport, right? Rich found his voice. We know! A bunch of listeners just said, “Oh, shit.” The Mackster is sporting a new goatee and mustache. He looks like the Star Trek version of the evil Mack.

This week in the news, the force is alive and well in one of Scotland’s largest police agency. A naked chick dances with a firefighter. Then a teenager has an “oh crap” moment. A bank robber was heard saying, “Great balls of fire” as he fled from the bank. A Comcast technician fixed one guy’s internet connection in a “flash.” In Russia, only your hair dresser knows – well her and now the cops. How embarrassing is it to get your butt kicked by a 44 year old woman? This Texas purse snatcher knows. Smoking dope must have an effect on you brain after all. Just ask our keynote criminal of the week. Finally, dumb and dumber try their hand at bank robbery.

This week we have another fantastic installment from the life of George, our new audio segment from Great Britain. Rizo and Michael outdid themselves again.

We know you are anxious to go mow the lawn but the grass will be there later so download the show, fire up the iPod and give us a listen. To be frank, we really sucked this week but don’t be a fair weather fan.

Thank goodness the humor in this week’s show is not as strained as Rich’s voice. Since Rich couldn’t speak well, Mack and Morgan had to pick up the slack since the show must go on.

This week Daniel Bateman sent us a cool video of a subject assaulting a medic (http://paramedictv.ems1.com/Clip.aspx?key=D10DA720F4B84000). In the news, a Brooklyn man takes a bite of crime. A hero cop gets a pat on the back and kick in the butt on the same night. A little girl shows compassion and maturity well beyond her years. Arrested for a porcelain porker? Really? This speeding driver is really screwed. A Texas man was stabbed after causing a stink in a motel room while eating with a friend. A Michigan man fathered 14 kids and owes over a half million dollars in unpaid child support. Sucks being him. Then there is our keynote story about a shitty baby sitter. Want to learn how to become a successful burglar? We have some tips.

The spring sun is shinning, the birds are chirping, the show is ready for you to download to your iPod or listen on line. So kick back and give it a listen. See you next week!

Well it has been another great spring week. Depending on where you live the spring weather may have been a lamb or a lion. Well we have a lion of a show this week. The whole CopCAST crew was present and ready for action. Morgan was a guest commentator on Fox News. Life has settled down on the street for Mack so he is jetting off to Washington, DC where he and Morgan will hook up to record an episode of 2 Guys Unleashed. After some very long nights, Rich got his online training system up and running correctly again. Old men should not be expected to pull all-nighters, especially for work.

This week in the news inmates in Brazil think that cell phones are for the birds. No proposal? This woman kicks butt. Need a little revenue for the city? Check out this ticket. Here hold my cell phone and let me tell you what I just did. Pink fishnet stocking – sexy – NOT! How about a guy who can “barely” place his lunch order? Ya know – white powder is not funny anymore. Nude and dog poop – don’t ask. What happens in Montana should stay in Montana.

This week we have another installment from the life of George, our new audio segment from Great Britain. This week George takes a trip to the local school. Remember we are still looking for a name for the segment that is written by Kevin Rizo and narrated by Michael Dickie.

Viking Combatives, the website is http://www.vikingcombatives.com, will be conducting a course entitled Combat Focus, both intro and advanced courses. The course is being held at Burro Canyon shooting range in Azuza, CA, April 17-19, 2009. Students can pay via paypal on website.

So bite off the chocolate bunny’s ear, download CopCAST, fire up the iPod and enjoy both the sugar rush and the show. Remember to stay safe, always wear your vest and have a great week!

This week’s show is dedicated to the three fallen Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania cops and the two who were wounded while responding to a domestic disturbance yesterday. Our thought and prayers go out to the officers, their family and friends.

What a week. Things have settled down for Mack and Morgan but Rich had the week from hell as a result of an corrupted table in his online training system. On the bright side, we received audio comments from Chief Jay Curtman and Kevin Rizo.

In the news this week, lunch at McDonald’s seemed like a good idea but it was shot down. The fire fighters come through in a big way for the Oakland police. Does the ShamWow absorb blood? A liquor store owner locks in on a thief. Our keynote story this week involves a door to door dentist. Really! Toilet cooking is a bad idea on so many levels. Isn’t it nice that the entire family can get involved in the family business? An Ohio women was pushed too far and she pushed back. Morgan’s last story really sucked.

This week we have the second installment of new audio segment from Great Britain. Remember we are still looking for a name for the segment that is written by Kevin Rizo and narrated by Michael Dickie. So far we only one suggestion – The British Beat.

Claude Talford wrote to ask for some help with some pre-disaster contracts for small government. Anyone who is willing to share their contracts can send an email to talback@copcast.net and I will send you Claude’s email address.

March madness is almost over so the basketball games have really slowed down. Turn off the television, download the show, fire up the iPod lay back in the recliner and enjoy.

 

 CopCAST Episode 117 - Our Pittsburgh Brothers [42:48m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

We should probably name this episode the “Off Again, On Again, Off Again” show. The CopCAST crew had a tough time getting together this week and, just when we thought we had it nailed, it didn’t quite work out. The show started without Morgan and ended without Mack. This is a funny business we are in but the show must go on.

This week in the news we start off with a tech warning about cyber crooks and ransomware. Wouldn’t you like to investigate a case where the perp is called the “boob-job bandit.” Our keynote story this week is scary. Imagine your police horse being assaulted by an inflatable five foot penis. A drive through bank robbery, really? If you are going to speed – then really SPEED! The students at MIT are really bright but they can’t say the same about at least one of their cops. Always with the aluminum foil – even as a shoplifting tool? Someone is holding luggage for ransom and, believe it of not, it isn’t the airline. Why would someone plan to steal guns at a gun show? Next time break into a home it is less dangerous.

We have a special surprise this week, a new CopCAST segment from our friends across the pond and you get to help us name it. Listen to the Mike and Kevin production about a day in the life of UK cop. Send your suggestions to talkback@copcast.net.

Oh, by the way, don’t miss the New England Law Enforcement Expo in Massachusetts. It is free for law enforcement personnel. Check it out at New England Law Enforcement Expo.

The sun is shinning and it is a beautiful day to download CopCAST, fire up the iPod and go take a walk. Do it quickly before the basketball games start back up!

The stars, the sun and the moon have finally aligned and the entire CopCAST crew is back this week.  We thought we were going to lose the Bahama beach bum but the cyber Gods smiled upon us and we were able to pull off a show even though Morgan was on the road again.  And a special show it is!

The week a thief learns what every good real estate agent knows.  The key to success is location, location, location.  When this kid says he wants fish sticks for dinner, he means it!  Did Arizona school officials overreact to this biology extra credit project?  Probably not.  All of the good karate experts perform while drunk and naked.  China has its own version of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and but drivers aren’t singing along.  Is a blow up doll a necessity or a luxury?  The moral of our keynote story is be careful what you ask the police to do – they may grant your request.  Talk about a dog day afternoon.  Robbery is hard work so you need to eat well.  As if prison didn’t suck enough, how would you like to be in the same cell as a guy you helped put there?

Do not forget to send us your job, training and event announcements.  We will be happy to put them on the next show.

We want to thank Michael Dickie for sending in our second audio comment.  It was a great comment and he had some good ideas and suggestions.

It is going to be a beautiful day so sting up the hammock, download the show, fire up the iPod and enjoy the show.
