  Speaker 1: What is going on everyone? Welcome to Strike Up Your Podcast.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Your least favorite podcast with your pals Alan and Repa Dave.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I'm Alan.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: BGD here, buddy. How are you?
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I'm doing good, man. We're here for a beer and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a chat. That's what we're doing right now. We're just
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: kind of drinking randos. And a hot button topic right
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: now we're going to discuss. We're not really going to
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: discuss it. I got a new story about it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And we'll discuss the new story. How about that?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Sounds good.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I sound good. Uh, Dateline, um, is going to take
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: us out to San Diego. Okay. Um, big topic out
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: there right now. Flock cameras.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: That's kind of big everywhere right now. It's a big debate.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Flock cameras everywhere. Well, uh, city council meeting had a
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: man dressed as Darth Vader attend the council meeting, uh,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: defending the flock cameras as this is what the emperor needs. Um,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: went on to say, you know, this is to help
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: us find the rebel scum, and they're hidden based on Hoth.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: The Emperor is a fan of flock, and we must
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: continue utilizing flock technology so that we can follow and
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: surveil the rebel scum as they move from playground to playground,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: from playground to pool, from pool to gymnasium, because we
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: all know that flock cameras are not only following the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: license plate readers, they're following the children. He then went
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: on to say that I also need it for a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: little bit of a personal reason, So that I can
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: continue to stalk my ex-girlfriend.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, she's dead. So, spoiler alert.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Asked the council to practice using their Jedi mind trick
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to convince the public of the importance of the cameras
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and said that all money should be diverted to these
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: public services. We don't need parks. We don't need libraries.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: We don't need daycare centers. We don't need homeless shelters.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: All we need is money for the stormtroopers. We will
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: not succumb our forces to the rebel scum. No, this
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: council was elected to serve the police, not the public.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And if our stormtroopers don't receive all the funding that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they deserve, there will be hell to pay because the
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: emperor is not as forgiving as I am. So it's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: what the empire needs.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Well, take a knee and pray to your lord and savior,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Darth Vader. I mean, because if not, he's going to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: chop you up in pieces.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, it's what the empire needs to track
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: down that rebel scum. Uh, I know you're a big, uh,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: believer in, uh, getting rid of the rebel scum.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: So they're the worst, like just, I mean, God, well,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: we got a chug going on over here. We got
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: a white chug or something going on over here. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: don't know who that is. That Jason Kelsey or something
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: like that. Uh, probably what a whip.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Anyway, it was Kirk cousins. I'd be in on that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I'd be in on that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. Um,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, we had flock cameras over here on my
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: street until like it went up and then about a
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: week and a half later, they came down cause someone
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: just jumped up there and they just took it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: They just got, they fixed the glitch.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: They just stole them.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I live in a nefarious neighborhood. I mean, very diversified.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: That's a cultural, uh, you know, you know, we're very
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: diverse over here, which is fine.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Which is weird because you're nowhere near a body of
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: water to use that old, old wooden ship from the, uh, whatever.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: They don't like recording devices, body cams or anything else
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: that records them. You know what I mean? It's like, well,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they just.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Want to, they just want to live their life.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Me too.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Watched.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It doesn't, I don't know. I don't know how
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I feel about that. I really don't care. No, that's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: not Kelsey. I don't know who that is. Look up
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: at your TV. You watch them.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I don't have the game on.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What do you got on like cartoons?
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I don't have anything on. I'm locked in and focused
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: You have to focus on the show in like four years.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That's a lie. Yeah, I know.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I'm here for the empire. You know what I mean? Right.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Long live the empire.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's not going so well for them right now, but.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: That'd be fun. That'd be fun. Yeah, absolutely.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about those things. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: see them up there and they tell us about like, Oh,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: this and that we're going to track these cars as
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: they go by and whatnot. I'm like, okay, cool. You know,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, on my street one Thanksgiving, it was a
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving night or Christmas Eve. Some little son of a
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: bitch junior, son of a bitch bastard came down my
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: street and knocked all the back windows out of all
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: our cars.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So I wasn't really excited about that because I spent
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the night before at a casino. And I was like, oh,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: there's someone that knocked on your window. Did they now?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And so now, obviously, we have cameras up and stuff
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: like that. So if you don't... My whole thing with
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: fly cameras is those cameras can be there, I guess,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: but every other house.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: On the block has cameras recording you anyway.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: So what are you mad at? We had to put
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: those up. For obvious reasons. So now what are we
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: talking about?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, like, let's just say, you know,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: you're sitting there one night and you're just like, oh,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: what's going on tonight? Internet dot com. And then you see, oh,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it's national. Leave some zucchini on your neighbor's front porch today.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Can't do that no more.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Not without getting caught.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He had a ring camera, too. I'm surprised he didn't
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: come over and ask me about it, because he's had
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: a ring camera this whole time. He didn't have one
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that night? I'm pretty sure he did. I think he
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: had a... Well, you know what? Maybe it was during
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the transition.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I had a Stormtrooper helmet on.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: You can never figure out where I ran to. Well, yeah. No,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: you're under surveillance all the time, whether it's ring cams or...
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: cameras around the house and stuff like that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I just assume I'm always being watched.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Exactly. Well, I should act like my own house. Right.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Um, I don't, I'm not hiding anything. I'm not doing
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: anything wrong.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So, well, my mouth gets me in trouble. So I'd
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: rather not be recorded at any point in time.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Well, but you're always being recorded. Your phone's always listening.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I know. Always. It's kind of a rough, kind of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: a rough couple, couple of nights here. Uh, I was like, oof.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I said, what now? They were like, oh, this. I go, yeah,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I stay about it. I stay about it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Why does my phone keep showing me mental health doctors?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I don't understand what's going on right now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Everybody rips those things down. Listen, I think it's an
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: infringement to your Fifth or Sixth Amendment. I can't remember
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: what it is to be surveilled. but also they put
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: them up in areas or they're everywhere. Actually, you know, whatever.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: There's certain, I did see a section of New York
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: that was not, it was a whole section of New
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: York and Manhattan, Northern North, Northwest Manhattan. That was not
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: being surveilled at all. It's kind of weird. It's right.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Like a whole section, but yeah, I don't know around here.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I don't, I don't, I don't really care, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Especially in the intersection I saw it at, it's an
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: intersection where a bunch of kids are walking to middle
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: school this way, high school this way, elementary school that way.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: And you got people that run that stop sign at
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: that whole intersection. So I'm like, I don't care. Just
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: get people to act in line. I don't really know
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: how to get people to act in line anymore.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: How do you feel about the red light camera that
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: will issue you a ticket?
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I got pop one time for that.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And what did you do? I saw the video. It
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: was raining quite hard that morning. I was going to
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: target to go get my glasses from target. For some reason,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I got suckered into buying glasses from target and I
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: was like, I got to get these glasses, man. It's like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: you know, whatever. It's like Saturday morning, just torrential rain. And, uh, yeah,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: I went back and watched the video and I didn't
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: doubt for a second when I got the ticket, I go,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I totally did that. Right. And go back
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and watch the video. And so I was, I'm approaching,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you can see the light turn green or turn red.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Five count i just i just went straight to it
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: i didn't give a shit i even told her they
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: go look how bad i ran this fucking red light
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and but that's the whole you know for me though
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: they outlawed that they banned it you know it's unconstitutional
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: type thing and i'm fine with that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: But what did you do what did you pay said ticket.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Of course i always pay i There's some people that
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: are like, I'm going to fight it or I'm just
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: going to ignore it because they can't, I think, enforce it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I think that was the whole thing, right? They can't
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: come after you. No, they can't.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: So I paid my $ 65 and I had a bunch
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: of chuckles and I saved the video and you know, whatever. Yeah.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, but I saw everything kind of coming around.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Cause I went into an intersection where it only can
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: come from this direction. Right. If you only come from
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: a North bound direction and I entered it through the, uh, uh,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: the West. And so, uh, There's no one there. No
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: one's out. It's dead. It's crazy rain or whatever. Like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not stopping any more red lights. I'm not doing it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: So right under the tollway, took my left to laugh
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: my ass off all the way. And I went and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: got my glasses.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I, I, I, I was issued a few
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of those, um, never paid them. Cause I knew, you know, they,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: they can't do anything cause they're, because there's not a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: officer there issuing it. It's not actually like a traffic ticket.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: They can't prove who's driving. That was the whole problem.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, well, they can. They can see you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in the.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Can't see me in the porn ring, though.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, no, because I remember at work, the other
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: manager I work with, they're like, oh, yeah, I got
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: these tickets. I got to go pay these tickets. It's like,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: what do you mean? You don't have to pay those.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, no, you have to. You can't renew
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: your license. I go, yeah, you can. Yeah, you can. Well,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: then you can't renew your vehicle registration.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You can. It's like running totals back in the day.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And like now, if you have a crazy NTTA bill,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: it locks you out. Like you can't renew your whatever. So, yeah,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: they probably.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But then that wasn't because I was like, she's like, no, no.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: I was like, OK. And then like I came into
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: work the next day and I had, you know, my
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: stack that I go, I have these. I just renewed.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: She said, well, I paid mine.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I was like, sucker. Oh, Pierce underwent ankle surgery and
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: back in March. He's on the pup. Oh my God.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Alec Pierce.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yep. The only Pierce, you know, my goodness. So anyways, yeah, no, I, uh,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I paid my one. Cause I only did like, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: like the whole thing around here where I live is people.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: There's this dude, this dork in our neighborhood that has
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: a dash cam. So all he does is post that
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: stuff in the next door app. And he's like, look
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: at these people running around lights. I'm like, it's me. Usually.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Like I haven't stopped at a red light. That's close.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: And like seven years, because I don't want to, what's
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the point? I'm not stopping. I'm not, well, I don't
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: run a broad one because I don't want to, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: don't want to T-bone somebody, but if it's like three seconds,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: two seconds, I don't know. Sometimes I just don't care. Yeah.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Now there's, I've gotten pulled over. I want to say
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: like a year, a little bit over a year ago,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: maybe two years ago, I got pulled over. And I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: thought the light was yellow. Like I looked at it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Cause I'll typically watch it. I guess I'm going under.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Like, okay, that was still yellow. And then I get
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: pulled over and he pulls me. He's like, you know
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: why I pulled you over? It's like, not a clue.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He's like, you ran that red light ago. I'm pretty
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: sure it was yellow when I went under it. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: he was like, well, let me.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Get your, I had my sunroof open. I was looking
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: right at it. I'm like this. And yeah, no, I
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: didn't run it. Okay.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: If I ran it, you ran it, buddy. So, uh,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: but yeah, he, so he took my, took my license,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: went back, comes back. He's like, Oh, I'm just going
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to give you a, we'll let you off with a
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: warning this time. And I'm like, you're letting me off
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: with a warning. Cause I didn't run the red light.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It was still yellow, but I didn't say that. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: just said, thank you very much, sir. I appreciate you
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and have a nice day.
• 13:01
