The conversation is between two people discussing a news story about a homicide captain who was pulled over. They comment on the officer's difficult position, being put in the situation of having to pull over a superior. They commend the officer for following protocol despite the captain's insistence that he turn off his camera.  They also reflect on their own experience, when one of the speakers almost said something stupid while their microphones were hot.A police captain was pulled over for drunk driving at 1:30 AM after he was seen swerving, speeding, and not using his turn signal. The body camera footage shows the captain repeatedly telling the officers he is the captain and demanding they turn off their body camera. The sergeant told the captain that it doesn't matter if he is a gangbanger or the president, he will be treated the same. The captain initially said he had only had four beers at a friend's house four blocks away, but the Intoxilizer determined that was a lie. It is likely that the captain had actually had more than four beers.The people in the conversation discuss how many drinks that adds up to and how that affects the man's BAC. They also talk about how eating while drinking can compound the effects of alcohol and how people think that eating will help them sober up faster. They also talk about how it's not illegal to drink and drive, but it is illegal to drive while impaired. They discuss how it depends on the person's system and how someone may not be impaired if they ate a meal with two drinks, but someone else could be if they had a strawberry daiquiri.The conversation begins with a discussion about a body camera video of an officer pulling someone over for a DUI. The officer in the video is very stern with the driver and the conversation brings up the question: would the officer have still been as tough if he didn't have a body camera? The conversation moves on to talk about how often this kind of thing happened before cameras and body cams were implemented. The conversation ends with the speaker bringing up something they found recently that was stupid.Timestamps0:02:40Conversation Summary: Police Captain Pulled Over for Suspected Drunk Driving0:04:50Heading: Discussion of the Implications of Drinking and Driving0:08:55"The Impact of Drunk Driving: A Conversation with a Police Officer"0:14:42"California Man Arrested After Wife Finds Hidden Camera in Bathroom"0:20:27Heading: Unbelievable Police Stories0:22:00Heading: Officer Cooks Breakfast for Hungry Children During Search WarrantHighlightsWe served a warrant, and of course we had everybody the two suspects were hooked up and CID was talking to them and the kids were hungry.

Jason and Rich are in Victory Brand Studios and they can't get their wives to go away. They joke that the wives are starting to feel like Renniks. The conversation begins with one person discussing their recent burger meal. From there, they talk about a recent birthday party and how someone made a comment about yellow frosting. This sparks a discussion about Renniks and his eating habits, as he was present at the party. He had a debate with himself about whether he'd be hard up enough to eat yellow frosting. Later, it is revealed that he was more than happy to eat the blue frosting. Lastly, they discuss a call that Renniks had earlier in the week about a facility and how some people that go there can be cool and others can be complete asses.Renniks, a police officer, was called to a location to deal with a woman who was unhappy and wouldn't leave. Despite giving her her own room and offering to take her wherever she wanted, she still wouldn't budge. The woman then asked for the governor. Renniks was called off to another urgent matter, and so an administrator asked the officer to take over. Rich told her that the governor was in a meeting in Shawnee and that he had called ahead and the governor knew she was coming. This seemed to motivate the woman to leave, as she was given a carton of cigarettes and some money. She loaded up and headed off to Shawnee to meet with the governor.Timestamps0:02:39Conversation Summary: Renniks Debate on Eating Yellow Frosting0:04:42Heading: Conversation between Renniks and Unhappy Resident at Assisted Living Facility0:08:32Conversation on Homelessness and Job Opportunities for Those in Need0:11:51Conversation on Homelessness and Mental Health Issues0:13:32Conversation on Mental Health Support Systems0:16:29Heading: Law Enforcement and Mental Health Services: A Discussion on Crisis Response0:18:27Heading: Establishing Rapport with a Person in a Mental Health Crisis0:19:41Conversation on Mental Health and Criminal Activity0:23:04Conversation Regarding Vehicle Equipment Requirements in Oklahoma0:26:27Conversation on Fuel Levels and Gas Station Locations0:28:31Conversation Summary: Dr. Pepper Fuel Gauge IncidentHighlightsThen in order to get him in the car, I've got to secure him.
