Copy That Radio

The physical toll of law enforcement can be brutal. Brandon joins us this week to tell some crazy stories about injuries sustained while on duty. During his time as a LEO he was involved in multiple crashes and multiple shootings. Learn about some of his experiences and what it's like to go through events like those. Brandon also served in the USMC prior to his career in law enforcement. But we didn't talk about that too much.

Are the decreasing standards of public safety departments and the military going to hurt us? We think so.

The clown show we're watching unfold isn't going to help.

Get your crayons ready! Mike-Mike, aka Mi-chelle, joins us to share how he went from being trapped in the belly of a ship with a bunch of sweaty Marines to being a successful entrepreneur.

He shares plenty of other hilarious stories and he's also served as a firefighter and probation officer.

Michael is now a successful realtor and has most recently purchased a guide service with two fellow Marines. He and his crew are all accomplished hunters and they're going to be doing big things up here for veterans and first responders.

Faith based healing for first responders. Our new friend Nate joins us today to talk about how he founded Protector's Peak, a retreat here in North Idaho. At Protector's Peak they focus on healing first responders by getting them outdoors, spending time with them, and working through devotionals. And yes, they also serve first responders that aren't practicing Christians. The retreat is open to all first responders needing some down time.

Nate served 27 total years in law enforcement as everything from full-time SWAT, to Alaska State Trooper, to small town Police Chief. Before getting started in civilian law enforcement he also served in the United States Marine Corps.

David Faller joins us today to talk about life as a firefighter, police officer, and now realtor. And he gives us instructions on how to wear skinny jeans when your legs are thick.

Dave also has some great advice about how to transition out of public service. If you're ever in town you can find his pretty face at the Southwest baggage claim in the Spokane Airport.

Florida man stories- alligators, giant spiders, etc. Our friend Scooter has worked in law enforcement across 3 states. Starting out in Florida, then California, and finally to Idaho. Hear some of his stories and learn about what it's like to be a cop across the country.

He also made Jared feel right at home...

Our friend Chuck passed away over the weekend. He was Seth's mentor and "work daddy". Chuck joined us on the show last year and was going to come on again later this year. So we thought we'd share his episode again.

Chuck served 30 years in law enforcement and had a hell of a resume. This is the only place we know of that he recorded any of his stories. Enjoy this one and share it with any of his friends and family that you may know.

He would always give us shit if our episodes weren't live first thing Tuesday morning, so here you go brother. It's live.

A 650 round shootout, dead kids, PTS, and dead animals.

We didn't mean to but we went deep right out of the gate. A friend returns and we share a few crazy stories.

3 cops quit their jobs to start an archery shop. This is their story.

Our friends Big John & Austin the cowboy join us to talk about their new venture North Idaho Archery.

We don't really dive into the archery stuff until about an hour in. The first half is just foolishness.

Seth said, "Let's get Sam back on so we can talk about riots and you guys can argue abut stuff."

So they share a bunch of riot stories and somehow we talked about Ruby Ridge. We saved the arguing for next time.

This one is long and has more swearing than usual. Because, well, Sam. Enjoy!
