My plans for this week's podcast went hush-hush, kablooie, bye-bye, see ya, adios.

So, I'm pinch-hitting and going off-topic and talking about...of all things...cops. Now wait! Wait wait! Don't run away. I'm not going all political on you or anything like that. Just wanna share some anecdotes and perspectives on the following:

• What it was like growing up with a dad who was a cop

• Losing a cousin in the line of duty

• Getting a call from my local police department this week claiming I was a danger to a school bus full of kids. Whaaaaa?

• Oh, and I sing a little bit on this episode too.
