The Cop and the Con

In Episode 19 of The Cop and the Con, Tanner takes us back to his darkest days in Tucson, sharing a raw and unfiltered look at his battle with severe drug addiction.

In this deeply personal episode, Tanner opens up about hitting absolute rock bottom, including two terrifying near-death experiences that almost cost him everything. But the trajectory of his life changed forever during a fateful encounter with a rookie police officer. Instead of just another arrest, this rookie cop's actions became the ultimate turning point—saving Tanner from a life-or-death cycle and setting him on the path to survival.

Tune in for an unforgettable conversation about rock bottom, unexpected lifelines, and the thin line between life and death on the streets.

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Cop and the Con Podcast.

Today, we are pulling back the curtain on the invisible forces shaping our reality. In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, algorithms aren’t just predicting our next move—they are rewriting how we think, work, and connect.

In this episode, we break down:

• The Digital Matrix: The unique challenges of navigating a society where AI controls the flow of information.
• The Digital Detox: Why stepping away from social media isn't just a trend, but a necessary survival tactic for your mind.
• The Shadows of Power: A deep dive into the secretive elite gatherings at Bohemian Grove and the whispers of a New World Order.

Whether you look at the world from behind a badge or from the other side of the tracks, one thing is clear: the system is changing. Grab your headphones, unplug from the grid, and let’s get into it.

Welcome to an episode that goes absolutely everywhere—except where we planned.

We originally sat down to expose the elite secrets of the Bohemian Grove, but the universe had other plans. Instead, we got beautifully sidetracked and ended up charting a course through some of humanity's deepest mysteries and most critical conversations.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Paranormal: Unexplained phenomena and the things that go bump in the night.
• Suicide Awareness: Shifting gears to have a raw, honest, and much-needed conversation about mental health and looking out for one another.
• The Great Pyramid: Decoding the architectural marvels, ancient engineering, and the secrets still locked inside the stone.
• Global Extension & Our Ancestry: Tracing the roots of human civilization, how our ancestors spread across the globe, and the lingering echoes of our past.

We promise we will eventually make it to the redwood forests of the Bohemian Club, but for now, grab a drink, embrace the tangents, and join us for a wild ride through history, the supernatural, and what makes us human.

 🎙️ NEW EPISODE — *Things We Probably Shouldn’t Discuss* 👀

We set out to talk conspiracy theories… and somehow only made it through TWO. 😂

This week we’ve got **Josh Good as Listener of the Week**, Tanner taking his daughter to her first **BABYMETAL** concert, his ongoing Dixon obsession, and what’s coming **November 25th at Shane’s** with Tanner & Eric’s band. 🎸

Then things take a turn—Disney, Big Pharma, opioids & Suboxone, the paranormal, Robert the Doll, Annabelle, the Illuminati, and finally… **Bohemian Grove.** 🦉

And apparently Bohemian Grove deserves more than a few minutes, because **next week we’re doing the deep dive.** 👀

🚨 THE COP AND THE CON — EPISODE 13 🚨

🥊 Special Guest: Tony Blauer — Blauer Tactical Systems

This week, we’re joined by legendary self-defense and combatives coach Tony Blauer, founder of Blauer Tactical Systems and creator of the SPEAR System.

This episode is a little more personal for me because Tony wasn’t just someone I trained with — I had the opportunity to work for him as part of his mobile training team, traveling and helping teach his system. 👊

We get into the early days of Blauer Tactical Systems, how Tony’s approach to fear, violence, and human performance evolved, and the origins of the system that would go on to influence law enforcement, military, martial artists, and self-defense instructors around the world.

🔥 Episode Highlights:

🥋 The origin and evolution of Blauer Tactical Systems

⚡ How the SPEAR System was developed

🧠 Why understanding fear is such a critical part of surviving violence

👮 My experience working with Tony on his mobile training team

🥊 The difference between sport fighting, traditional martial arts, and real-world violence

🎯 How Tony’s training philosophy changed the way people think about personal defense

😂 Stories and memories from training and working together

💪 Lessons that carry over from fighting and self-defense into everyday life

Whether you’re into law enforcement, MMA, martial arts, self-defense, military training, or just want to understand how the human body and mind react when things get real, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

🎙️ The Cop and the Con — Episode 13 featuring Tony Blauer

👮‍♂️ One became a cop.

⛓️ One became a con.

🤝 Somehow, they stayed best friends.

Two completely different paths. One hell of a friendship.
