The HOF career of the Crime Dog
In this episode of Normal World with Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela, the crew dives into everything from Trump's ICE raids and PA mayors defying immigration enforcement to Florida's wildest principal and insane celebrity meltdowns. They break down how President Trump and Tom Homan are ramping up ICE operations, sparking major resistance from sanctuary city leaders who refuse to comply. Is this about protecting communities or shielding illegal immigrants? The conversation then shifts to a Florida elementary school principal who took “cool teacher” to a whole new level, leading to a deeper discussion on unhinged educators and inappropriate relationships. Things get even crazier when the crew discusses Trump cutting Anthony Fauci's security detail, the McGruff the Crime Dog controversy, and the bizarre story of a cop's drug-fueled emergency call. Later, they dive into wild behind-the-scenes stories about working with Dustin Diamond (Screech) and why things got a little too intense. Add in bad plastic surgery, steroid freaks, and ridiculous medical conditions, and it's pure Normal World chaos. This episode of Normal World includes comedian Matt McClowry.

This week, we're back with more Zapp's! This time, we're trying Zapp's classic tart and spiced Voodoo flavor on their thick and buttery Pretzel Stix. Then Kelsey travels way past the holidays to give us the tale of an odd tradition in Lima, Peru, where police dress in costume during the holidays, including during raids. She details a video where police raided a suspected drug trafficking gang hideout, accompanied by an officer in full Grinch garb, head to toe green furry costume, wearing Santa's jacket with sledgehammer in hand. This Grinch stole Christmas from the drug dealers. The video is a must-watch. Also, the Creeps talk about digging for crumb dust, Scruff McGruff the Crime Dog, wanting local police to step up their costume game, and Matt being unprepared yet adored by fans?

Back in the 70s & 80s, nothing sold a product better than a great mascot or spokesperson. Everyone knew Mr. Wipple, Chalie the Tuna, and the Maytag repairman, and they became almost synonymous with the products they represented. We thought that they'd be around forever but times change and many of our beloved characters have been replaced. In this Backtrack we remember some of our favorites and talk about what made them so memorable.

Hour 3 of The FAN Morning Show kicks off with Nick Kypreos checking in to discuss the Leafs' decision to place Matt Murray on LTIR, the incentive for Murray to be complicit in this process, if the Leafs could be subject to an investigation from the NHL, the team's lingering cap issues, Guy Boucher's interesting history with the organization, and if there's any correlation between Sebastian Aho's deal and William Nylander's current contract impasse. Afterwards, Ailish and Justin are joined by Fred McGriff, aka “The Crime Dog,” to chat about his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame last weekend, his experience breaking into the big leagues with the Blue Jays, what it meant being inducted alongside fellow ex-Jay Scott Rolen, and his impressions of this current Toronto team. (24:13) We close out the show by assembling our daily Wake and Rake parlay!

The Atlanta Braves got back on track with a series win against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, maintaining a big lead in the NL East standings as the Trade Deadline approaches. Grant McAuley runs through the stories of the week for Atlanta, including a torrid hot streak from Austin Riley, some shuffling of the pitching staff, a look at the trade market, Travis d'Arnaud's contract extension, and some minor leaguers getting a major opportunity. On a day that Fred McGriff was enshrined to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, you'll hear some of the "Crime Dog's" speech. His former teammate Ron Gant joins the show to discuss the 1993 Pressbox Fire, McGriff's arrival, and Gant's bobblehead giveaway that pays tribute to an unforgettable night in Braves history. With the trade deadline roughly a week away, Victor Rojas joins the show to size up all of the factors the Angels are weighing for a potential Shohei Ohtani trade as well as the case for Los Angeles to perhaps hold onto their prized superstar. All of that and a trip around the big leagues! Make sure to connect with From The Diamond on social media. Hear the show live every Sunday on 92-9 The Game in Atlanta.

Hosts Michael Snyder and Joseph Gushue are joined by: Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Kathi Vidal; Executive Director of the National Crime Prevention Council, Paul DelPonte; and the legendary McGruff the Crime Dog®. Our guests share their insights on the impact of counterfeits on society, the economy, and individual safety. The panel kicks off with a discussion of public service characters and their roles in environmental awareness and education. The panel then explores the issue of counterfeit goods. Here, the panel considers the impact of counterfeit goods on children, society, how counterfeit goods can be connected to organized crime, and how IP is involved in combating this global problem. Director Vidal provides insights into the role of the USPTO in protecting consumers from the dangers of counterfeit goods and highlights the importance of educating consumers about the real-world risks associated with counterfeit products. Listeners will learn about the "Go for Real" campaign, a joint initiative by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), aimed at educating the public, particularly teens and tweens, about the risks associated with counterfeit products and the importance of making smart buying decisions and respecting intellectual property rights. Director DelPonte shares his experiences leading NCPC and the organization's efforts to promote greater civic engagement and public education on crime prevention. We hear from both him and McGruff about using the power of the internet to reach and empower a new generation to “Take A Bite Out Of Crime®.” You'll learn about ways you, your colleagues, and even your kids can become “dupe detectives” and improve your ability to spot fakes.

And Los Angeles city alone it cost $483 million in lost taxes and 100,000 lost jobs. [caption id="attachment_49990" align="alignright" width="150"] Kathi Vidal[/caption] The holiday hustle and bustle are in full swing as shoppers search for this year's best steals and deals. The good news, discounts are expected to hit record highs for popular categories such as electronics, computers, and toys according to Adobe's online-shopping forecast. However, scammers are looking to take advantage of American consumers as fears of a looming recession increase, and people tighten their purse strings leading up to the Holidays. These criminals are on the prowl both online and off looking to entice consumers with even lower-cost price tags attached to dangerous counterfeit products. This is especially true online as sales are expected to grow by 2.5% throughout December. The rise of e-commerce has led to an increase in sales and purchases of duped products. McGruff the Crime Dog®, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) are alerting people to these scams and educating them on how to spot the red flags this holiday season.

McGruff the Crime Dog arrived on the scene at the dawn of the 1980s, just as a firehose of anti-drug PSAs was inundating the youth of America.
