- The Joe Rogan Experience.
- The problem is those preppers,
they're just a little too paranoid
and they fuck it up for everybody else.
- Yeah.
- You know what I'm saying?
- That's why you can't buy bullets right now.
- You can't buy bullets right now.
People need to know this.
People out there that don't own guns,
first of all, gun ownership radically increased in 2020.
- Correct.
- And gun purchases went up
and then bullet purchases went up.
- And they're hoarding them all.
I mean, they can't even make them fast enough.
I mean, you're talking to the guy who got shot in '92.
- How'd you get shot?
- Ah, fucking carjacking.
- Oh, yeah, I was a police officer.
- Where'd you get shot? Show me your arm.
- Came in back here on my shoulder and came out down here.
- You were a police officer back then?
- Dude, I was a police officer, firefighter, and paramedic
before I was old enough to drink.
- That's crazy.
- A little bit of an overachiever.
- Wow, that's crazy.
How did you get involved in that?
How old were you when you joined the force?
- I went into the police academy in 18.
- You could be a cop at 18?
- I got my certification when I was 19.
- That is crazy.
When were you on the force pulling people over?
- Late 19.
- That is so crazy.
- Yeah, I spent some time in a little suburb of Dallas called Alvarado, and
then I ended
up at the Tarrant County Constable's office.
And then I ended up getting hired on by a city up there at Coppell.
And they put me through the fire academy and medic school.
And so that's what I did until I was like 27-ish, 26.
- So how old were you when you got shot?
- 92.
So I guess I was 22.
- So you were 22, and you were stopping at carjacking?
- No.
I actually had been out that night with a buddy of mine, and he got lucky, went
home with some
chick.
- So I did not.
I was going through the Whataburger drive-through, and a couple of guys came up
and got me from
behind.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- What kind of car?
- '65 Mustang Fastback.
Gold on gold.
It was a nice car.
- Nice car.
- Yeah, the problem was-
- So you had good taste even back then.
- Yeah, yeah.
I was always flipping and buying cars all through school.
As a matter of fact, I graduated high school.
I started my driver's license when I was 16 with a $250, 76 Impala, and
finished high
school two and a half years later, or two years later, with a Bandit Trans Am,
four-speed,
T-topped, red on black with the big gold bird.
