Send us a text Well, the last time Ron popped in we only made it through his career with the Pima County Sheriff's department. He's back, we clear up a few more notable PCSO moments and dive full into his career as a Spook. All kidding aside, he worked for another 16-17 years as an FBI Analyst. I'm honored host him and I'm so glad to present him to you, the coolest folks on the planet. Turn it up, send me a note about this episode! I appreciate you all...

Send us a text To say I enjoyed meeting up with Raul again would be an understatement. He was episode 28 three years ago. I didn't think he could top the story of his partner slapping someone across the face with a rattle snake, but here we are. He makes the podcast t-shirts (a gift for every guest, super exclusive gifts!) so I cornered him and forced him back on the show for another episode. We had a great time, I enjoy his company and I hope you enjoy this round of tales from his days working the US/ Mexico border in California and Arizona. Turn it up and enjoy!

Send us a text That's right, you've seen his name before...As a cop/ first responder, If you listen to the show, you can't help but recall memories as you listen to your buddies tell their stories. That's exactly what happened! After Steve Gardner and Dr. Carmona were on the show, Bobby said he needed to come back. He said he'd come tell more stories if I served up more bourbon! I couldn't let him down...Tune in, turn it up and enjoy the ride. Bobby's great, I'm glad to know him and even more glad I get to share him with you all!

Send us a text Mike's story is similar to mine. Palo Verde HS grads (barely), then Pima County Deputy and finally City of Tucson Police Officers. The profession is a good for people who found themselves being the protector of their friends, kept themselves out of trouble and want to spend their time, energy and efforts helping. Mike continues to help, creating his non-profit "No Belt Required" that provides Jui Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, and Muy Thai training for public servants. He and I agree that confidence and competence in ones abilities is a prescription for a better physical and mental outcome during critical incidents. Who wouldn't want that for their public servants? Turn it up, give a warm welcome to the newest member of The Squad and shoot me a note to tell me what you thought of the episode!!!

Send us a text Terry has been on the show before, but I asked him to come back and speak about the fallen officers 501C3 he created, while sharing the stories of some of our fallen heroes. The Arizona Fallen Heroes Memorial Riders raise money to help first responders seriously injured in the line of duty, or to provide financial assistance to the families of fallen officers. Terry brought over two pages of notes, all cases involving "In the line of duty" deaths he investigated while on the highway patrol... This podcast show, a true legacy project, is more than honored to carry on the names of our fallen brothers and sisters. Their memories live on as long as we continue to speak their names. Please enjoy the show, visit their website to see upcoming events if you want to join in on a ride or just donate... azfhmr.org Come see me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/choir.practice.94 or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cp_sfaf/…

Send us a text Like many of my guests, Andy is one of those guys where my urgency to get him on the show is heightened because, as you will hear, he developed Parkinson's late into his career and it ultimately forced him to quit before he was ready...even though he spent 30 years serving the City of Tucson. He worked his way into many of the "Desired" assignments through out his career, becoming a Senior SWAT Operator, K9 trainer and firearms instructor at the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center (SALETC). I enjoyed our chat, but as per usual, he'll need to come back because he didn't really get into stories with his last two dogs! Give him a warm welcome to The Squad...

Send us a text Over my career, US Marines have been some of the best folks I've ever worked with. The sense of duty, the "Can do" attitude and the refusal to quit when times get hard are all qualities that make them some of the best partners on the force. With that being said, Mike exemplified all these qualities throughout his career! Even though he can't drive, haha, the rest of what he brought to the table are exactly the qualities that have allowed him to live such a wonderful life in service of others. Buckle in, give him a warm welcome, and show him why we are the coolest Squad on the planet!

Send us a text I enjoyed chatting with Ron, the last time I'd seen him was when he taught Constitutional Law to my academy class in 1998! His arrival to AZ, the jobs he held prior to entering la enforcement and a storied career...I think you're going to enjoy this one. You can see in the title of this episode he also worked at the FBI, but we didn't make it that far, so he plans to return and talk about those experiences, but for now, sit back and enjoy this one...

Send us a text Have I ever told you how awesome you are? It's "Carmona Part two"-eve and the show currently sits at 60,343 downloads!!!! The number seems unreal, but it makes sense when you consider the line up of phenomenal guests...Speaking of phenomenal guests... Richard Carmona is back! If you tuned in last week, we barely scratched the surface of a truly extraordinary career! I was honestly surprised that the run time is barely over two hours because the total time of our visit was about 5 hours!!!! Probably could've kept going too! Such a great, authentic person. I'm honored, humbled and so glad he wanted to come back so quickly to meet up and get the rest of this recorded. We could probably fill 10 or more episodes to be honest! Buckle up, enjoy the ride and please leave me a response either on Buzzsprout, Spotify or the social media links below.

Send us a text The title for this episode could go on forever! Dr. Richard Camona was certainly a jack of all trades, but at the highest levels. It was my honor to be able to sit down with him and not only chat about his career but how ours intersected in a very small way. I am in awe of his path to special forces, medicine and law enforcement. his life definitely needs to be preserved for generations. Please give him a warm welcome and be sure to come back because he had to come back for another episode to cover the extraordinary career and life he had...
