| CopCAST - Episode 99 - Nearly A Millionaire - Sun, 30 Nov 2008 06:00:00 -0500 |
This is a happy week for Morgan since he finally got his Verizon FIOS service up and running. Look out world you better prepare for an onslaught of 12 second videos. Mack is in quite a fix, 30 centimeters (11 inches) of snow and a broken snow blower means manual labor unless he can con an intern into shoveling his driveway. Rich nearly became a millionaire this week. Unfortunately, the guy who wanted him to "stand as the next of kin" for 10 million dollars got booted off Cops Online. So close and yet so far.
This week a homeless man helps the FBI pop a robber. Will a pallbearer Tase? Oh, yea. Aren't dogs supposed to protect their owners? Fake cops, traffics stops and YouTube - they make it so easy! Please remove your shoes ladies. Note to self, don't leave butt prints on store windows. Have a plan before you steal an ATM machine. Older woman should have sold tickets to sex show. An assault with a dead turkey saves a lady from thief.
We have another great show so make a turkey sandwich, grab the iPod, sit back and enjoy the show. Remember to stay safe, always wear you vest and have a great week. |

| CopCAST - Episode 98 - Puppy Love - Sun, 23 Nov 2008 05:55:00 -0500 |
This week CopCAST has truly gone international! Morgan broadcasted from his vacation resort in Cancun, Mexico, Mack broadcasted from his outpost in Timmins, Ontario, Canada and Rich broadcasted from the Republic of Salem, located in Virginia.
The inmates in an Indiana jail get screwed by . . . well, other inmates. A German teen has a blast in the toilet. A Canadian drug gang member eats his way out of jail. In Indiana, no tickets so no tickets. Seattle cops are cleared of all charges from the Stugis shooting. Houston cops sue for fuzzy face rights. Quebec City police officers find bad jammer. A taxi driver delivers a robber to South Carolina police. And they called it puppy love - no, really!
So grab your leaf rake, put on your headphones, fire up the iPod and check out this week's show. Remember to stay safe, always wear you vest and have a great week. |

| CopCAST - Episode 97 - Golden Shower - Sun, 16 Nov 2008 05:55:00 -0500 |
The California Kid is back in Virginia. That means that the 12 second video clips and the IACP conference are over. Mack did his "This Old House" imitation last week. Rich really did not accomplish much of anything but he had fun doing it.
We start off this week with the special delivery of a rape subject - to the police station. How about a 71 year-old cop that shows no sign of slowing down? A Florida deputy get into hot water as a result of his alarm clock idea. No more freedom of expression in the Seattle parks if it includes bare butts. I am going to run from you now. Could you hold my driver's license? A Wisconsin cop is pissed off. Will a mule deer Tase? A day in the life of a Flathead County, Montana deputy. No money available for your robbery? File a complaint.
This show has a real mixed bag of stories. Hey, where are all of those e-mail comments. Let us know what you think by sending an e-mail to talkback@copcast.net. Since there is very little worth watching on television, fire up your computer, point your browser to CopCAST.net and check out the show.

| CopCAST - Episode 95 - The Epileptic Machine - Sat, 01 Nov 2008 23:30:00 -0400 |
This has been a tough week for the CopCAST crew. Morgan has been pouring it on in preparation for the IACP conference. Mack has had several tough incidents occur that necessitated long hours, not to mention his promotion review preparations. If that wasn't bad enough, Rich was forced to spend Halloween looking at scantily clad college co-eds (well someone had to do it).
We started things off with a British driver that likes "toying" with the German police. A woman tries to smuggle sausage across the Mexican border but it was a waste - or not! A cop perpetuates the stereotype by stealing pastries from a coffee shop. A fake cop tries to screw a hooker out of - well, you get the picture. Here, hold my beer and watch me play chicken with that car - that police car! How about a little frozen shrimp? Let's flashback to the naked chimney burglar. A dumb bank robber - is it an oldie? He got the car he drove to court for a steal.
Whatever you do, don't miss this episode and make sure that you listen all the way to the end for the secret outtake. Remember to stay safe, always wear you vest and have a great week. |

| CopCAST - Episode 94 - The Vacuum - Sun, 26 Oct 2008 05:55:00 -0400 |
This week is really different. Morgan is in California, Rich just got back from Northern Virginia and Mack is at home for a change. We kick things off with discussions about child porn and terrorism, police tattoo issues and survival rates involving soft body armor.
The first story really sucked - you will agree. Flowers for you, my love . . . or victim. Quote of the week, "That's what I do, I steal things." Car surfing under a full moon can be dangerous. A 76 year old woman is arrested for the 73rd time! This bartender is "barely" able to do her job. You can't say this robber was all thumbs. You might say this guy is serious about personal hygiene. For all you robbers out there, let's talk about camouflage.
This is a very special day. It is Hillary Clinton's birthday and Mother-In-Law's Day so if you were looking for a reason to drink, now you have it. So kick back on the Lazy Boy recliner, pop the top on a cold one, fire up the iPod and enjoy another fantastic episode of CopCAST. |

| CopCAST - Episode 93 - The Happy Meal - Sun, 19 Oct 2008 05:55:00 -0400 |
This week things have calmed down and Morgan is preparing to resurface on the Internet. As if he did not have enough unfinished projects, Mack started a new business and Rich is still pedaling around town on his little pink bike.
We start off trying to figure out the real purpose of photo-red enforcement. The FBI 2007 LE Officers Killed and Assaulted Report is out. Satan stops by a U.S. Bank branch but he is unable to get into his safe deposit box. You deserve a break today! Why not treat yourself to a Happy Meal like a Florida driver? Bring along some cash though since they do not barter. The CopCAST crew says, "Leave our seniors alone!" Will video game violence corrupt Mack's son or is it just the fact that he is Mack's son? Philadelphia Chief Ramsey pays tribute to a fallen hero with a hat, white gloves, a red rose and a promotion. Alcohol and farm equipment "combine" to make bad things happen. Cattle rustling in 2008? Really? How to get wasted while siphoning gas - an oldie but goodie.
It's hunting season so load up the iPod, grab your gun, head to your tree stand and enjoy the show. |

| CopCAST - Episode 92 - The Whipping Boy - Sat, 11 Oct 2008 05:55:00 -0400 |
This week Morgan learns that no good deed goes unpunished. Mack and Rich have to circle the wagons to protect him from the forum crowd.
I wonder if they teach tackling in the German police academy. Some bad cyclists are intoxicated while others are just jerks. They are hanging loose in Florida thanks to the bra bandit. The verdict is in for the Rhode Island record holder. You cannot beat this smoking succession program. Thin is in for computer screens. The case is closed by a 13 year old sleuth.
So heat up some green tea, relax, fire up the iPod and check out this week?s show. We are even releasing this show a day early - enjoy. |

| CopCAST - Episode 91 - Cruzin' Cooler - Sun, 05 Oct 2008 05:55:00 -0400 |
The entire CopCAST crew is back at the microphones for this week?s show - and a great show it is.
Sometimes you just have to wonder about people. For instance, how could one driver accumulate 1.9 million dollars in fines. Idaho just says ?no? to campus cops. It is really ?Sucksville? when a cops starts a fire - even for love. Remember, it is not the fall that will get you - it is the sudden stop. Dallas Police Department releases shooting video. Is there really a blue wall of silence? Great database - not so great results. Really, the guy was driving a cooler. This week we have the weird, the strange and the bazaar - and that is just Mack?s vacation pictures.
So stop watching debate reruns, break out the lawn chair, fire up that fancy new Zune player and enjoy the show. |

| CopCAST - Episode 90 - Texting Is Dumb (RELOAD) - Sun, 28 Sep 2008 07:55:00 -0400 |
The Mackster is still across the pond and we are hoping that the London Bridge is not falling down. Morgan got stuck in California but he fought his way back to do the show.
This week we have a student who thought it would be a good joke to steal dead animals from the vet and stash them in the lockers at the local high school. The cops did not agree. A bad search gives an Alaska man the opportunity to commit suicide in the back seat of a patrol car. Several charges have been dropped against a Seattle cop stemming from an August shooting at Sturgis. To the dude with the picnic - is she really worth all that trouble? A study shows that a motorist who is texting is significantly more impaired than a motorist at the legal limit for alcohol. The windy city cops are expressing their displeasure with management via reduced productivity. A gorilla robs a Dunkin Donuts store - or something like that. One subject serves as the intermediate weapons training dummy for the local police. Ah Morgan . . . in what state did those last two incidents occur? What a week!
So turn off the television, fire up the iPod and get ready for another fantastic show. Mack should be back next week provided he has enough money left for the return airfare. |

| CopCAST - Episode 89 - Mission Failed - Sun, 21 Sep 2008 05:55:00 -0400 |
Mack?s vacation habits are quickly becoming the stuff of legends and he continues to build on his reputation by taking off to Europe this week. We feel duty bound to say, ?Look out London, you are his first stop.? So Rich and Morgan have to keep the home fires going this week sans the Mackster.
A dad is charged with assault for hitting his daughter's naked boyfriend with a pipe after finding him in her bedroom in the wee hours of the morning. What?s up with that? You may be funny but don?t quit your day job, chief. The Virginia Supreme Court says sending 10 million spam e-mails per day is a protected right. It must have been the full moon that caused that guy to think it was a good idea to rob the same bank twice. It is never a good idea to invite a real cop when you are playing cop. By the way, that camera looking thing on the wall, it is a camera. It is nice to know that even a secret agent can have a bad day. These are just a few of the stories we discuss plus we have some great listener feedback and a bunch useless banter.
So take a little ?me? time, kick back, put on the earphones, fire up the iPod and get ready for another great episode of CopCAST! |
