But, man, the last night was the first night back in our bed, which is awesome. So what'd you do during, uh, over the holidays, man? Man, I came over one time.

Yeah, absolutely so, it was good to see him. And, uh, actually we went down to the brunswick office and worked on the sign that got demolished from the uh flood that we had a few months ago. Oh yeah, that unknown named storm that came through and was worse than hurricane florence it was worse than that.

Speaker 3:

I got footage on my facebook of the how bad that was yeah, I saw that that was wow that guy that rent the place he's. He had cameras all over and he did like a time lapse thing and like it was, it was way up, like five feet up, yeah, yeah.

If you look at the definition of lazy, my picture was right beside it. This week I didn't do it nothing. I didn't do nothing like I mean, we, we did a few things and, uh, had a good time, but just kind of relaxed with the family, cooked a lot, you know, ate. Oh, one of a surprise Christmas gift that I didn't know until last minute. So Heather bought us. Let me see if I can pull this up. Heather bought us. There's a place here in Wilmington called iFly. It's an indoor skydiving place, right, and a lot of people have done it and it's fun. Let's see if I can try to pull this up and let me pause it here. Oh, here we go. So I'm going to play this for you guys, because they can't copyright, youtube can't copyright this, so I'm going to show it now. We've had so many problems with copyright stuff. If I show the audience things, they'll kick it back and say, oh, you've got to copyright.

Speaker 3:

You can't show it? Oh, it seemed like we did that with one thing yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it was me, heather and my two boys, and we all go out and do this thing, and so this is me in the simulator, so I'm going to switch this over here, alright. So see how you're in this big tube and everybody's sitting over here, to your left, right here.

Speaker 3:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Those are the people in line waiting to come in and you enter in this door right here and the instructor he's awesome, awesome guy. Let's go ahead and play it. It's only about a minute and a half long. I'm gonna turn the music down so we can chat about all right. So here's my big ass and I just get. I just had a cold, too, over the Christmas holidays, so when I was in here I had snot flying. I was like I'm sure that dude's Seeing snot fly out of me. I mean, cause this wind tunnel Is like gnarly Okay.

Speaker 2:

That's cool, and then he, and then he. So he pushes down and then we go up. We cool. Yeah, that's awesome. That was the first time I ever did that. All right, we go up and down a few times. What else?

Speaker 3:

uh, what else do you have going on christmas?

Speaker 2:

uh, other than that, that's.

Speaker 3:

We um. I saw you on your dad Um.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, yeah, my dad uh came into town for a few days right before Christmas, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yep, and we went duck hunting yeah.

Speaker 2:

We went duck hunting out there and came down the Marine and saw you. Yeah, yeah, I had to pick up the uh, I video yeah, uh, but we had a good time. We saw a bunch of ducks, didn't kill anything.

Speaker 3:

We shot at a few because we're just bad shots, evidently a lot of these stories end with uh well, I hurt one of their feelings, but I didn't quite get one. Yeah, I'm telling you, things are fast, man, I will attest to that. Yeah, the time I went with you. Yeah, I think I nipped one one time, but yeah, yeah, you heard his feelings that's what you heard.

Speaker 2:

His feelings for sure, but he won't feel good he, he got away um I'm going again as soon as this weather man.

Speaker 3:

I want something. This weather man, I seen something about you know the crazy fog we had. Yeah, like I was watching um, what's his name? Aunt um that I follow tiktok down in Florida. So there's something to all this heavy, heavy fog that they're getting it down there. There's a lot of conspiracy theories on things right now the Kim trails of planes and the, the the uh drones of New Jersey and elsewhere.

Speaker 3:

you know they saw what they got one down have you seen that supposedly and I mean, I kind of is this like a distraction from like something bigger or like what is this I'm just trying to figure out how to stay on a carnivore diet because I blew it all to. I came off of mine too quickly.

Speaker 2:

Cookies chocolate chip, peanut butter. It's funny.

Speaker 3:

All my diet consisted of was steak and cookies.

Speaker 2:

Man, I was doing good and then the Christmas time came around and I just blew it because my girlfriend's mama she cooked chicken and pastry and collard greens. I was like, yeah, I can't.

Speaker 3:

No, we went and got, so I got one of those TikTok things, little meat thermometers. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's basically. It's a probe that syncs with your phone on an app so you can, like we cook like four of those prime ribs over the weekend and you stick the probe in there and your desired temperature that you want to reach. It measures ambient temperature, you know air around it and then your internal target temperature and then what the actual temperature is, and it tells you on your phone. You know. So it's watching it. So you don't have to take it out of the oven, put a thermometer in it and check it and see where it's at. You don't have to take it out of the oven, put a thermometer in it and check it and see where it's at. You don't have to really pay attention to all that you, just your phone lets you know when you reach that internal temperature. Right, great thing, man. I would advise anybody to get one of those things I've seen it on tiktok and I was kind of leery.

Speaker 3:

I didn't know if what I wanted to get it.

Speaker 2:

Man, that's the heat, get it I'm going today right now, and buy it because I got some stuff.

Speaker 3:

I'm oh yeah, so all the car, yeah, we, we got like a ton of meat over the weekend and, uh, you know, hit those manager specials before they you know if you can hit it just right. Yeah, like we'll buy all that stuff, you know yeah, I think we might.

Speaker 2:

I think we might it's worth it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's worth it, you know, for us, I mean, it's, it's all we eat, yeah, you know. So, anyway, I came over.

Speaker 2:

I came over to your house, uh, during the holidays and we sit around chit chat and and it looks like uh, look like you were doing the same thing. I was in your, just in your sweats and not ashamed for the most part.

Speaker 3:

I mean it's been rainy, nasty outside for the. You know, today it's kind of nice 66 high, partially sunny. I don't get it Still ponds of water from rain, but you know, hopefully we'll get sun again one day. Wow, I'm ready for the summer already. And they got this cold front coming, man, have you seen it? Uh-uh Like it's coming from west to east over here.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's good.

Speaker 2:

And it's like huge. That's good for duck hunting.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, right, right, yeah, but I mean it's like supposed to get super cold. Anyway, we'll see. I just want a little bit of snow, you know well, I don't get much here the ocean keeps us just warm enough to where you don't get snow. Here it get, it get cold, but it's sunny we get some snow every now and again.

Speaker 2:

It's rare, it's very rare, but last time we got some, I went hunting in it and it was cold and it was coming down early in the morning, but it quit when the sun started coming out. It pretty much was stopping. That's the way it works.

Speaker 3:

It's like you get sun and cold, you get cloudy and just warm enough for the winter. Anyway, we'll see for the winner.

Speaker 2:

Anyway, we'll see. Well, chad is on this episode. Everybody, chad, since I told the last one, and this is a New Year's Eve special too, yeah, yeah, because this comes out tomorrow, tomorrow, we're doing it the day before, right, right. So Chad's going to tell the last story of the year, some of a story he did, a long time ago.

Speaker 3:

So, yeah, this was a long time. This was before Rob came along. This was when it was just me and James. And back then, see, james is predominantly a PI and a bondsman second. I'm a bondsman first and I'm a PI second. So that's how we mesh together, because we stay in each other's lane. It's always like to put it that way. Well, you know, he did write some bonds. From time to time I was like, look man, like you got to be careful, because you always think can I put my hands back on this person if I get them out? That's the theory we pretty much live by right Serve me well.

Speaker 3:

you know, everything's not perfect, but it's a good rule of thumb Well tell everybody, all right, before we get into the story.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, tell everybody why we do not write bonds on people that are not US citizens.

Speaker 3:

Okay, that's what I was getting to People that are not US citizens. Okay, that's what I was getting to. The problem with doing those bonds in our area is if you write a bond on a person that is not a legal citizen, the jail could have an ice hold on them. Immigration hold right, Don't matter where you're from. So the way it works here is if you write that bond and they have an ICE detainer, they're held for 48 hours in that jail After you write the bond. So what happens is that jail of whatever county alerts ICE that hey, your person that's illegal is made bond. They made bond and we're giving you notice. You have 48 hours to either come get them and deport them or we're going to release them. Okay, so you kind of run that risk.

Speaker 2:

Now, if they do get picked up by ICE, which is a high probability, because they do that, they do get picked up by ICE, which is a high probability. Because they do that, they do it, they've done it, irregardless who's in power.

Speaker 3:

That happens and the risk is too big for us because once they get picked up, they're a number in the system. They go to Charlotte here or Atlanta Georgia. Those are the two major hubs for ICE detention.

Speaker 2:

And I've been to the one in Charlotte and it's weird because we got somebody through me and literally I'm out in the parking lot and he comes walking out.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so what? I mean? They become a number at that point and we have to keep track of these people until their case is disposed. Now they're going to get sent back to another country, so the complications of this whole thing is not worth.

Speaker 2:

No, and the case is still open. Yeah, it's never resolved.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's not worth it. So that's why I've always said you know, Unless you're fully collateralized, don't really want to mess with it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we just don't do them period.

Speaker 3:

But in this case, Mr James thought that with his superior PI knowledge I guess that we would do this bond, and he had a pretty decent cosigner. It wasn't a huge bond, but still, a loss is a loss and nobody wants to hit because our loss is a lot more than our gain, Right? I think this was like a $2,500, maybe $3,000 bond, something like that. This was a guy that we'll name him Pedro Pedro Pedro the drunk. Pedro was a drunk.

Speaker 3:

This was his second DWI and he liked to drink and drive and not have insurance. Just can't do that. And pedro was not a legal citizen and anyway he got out.

Speaker 2:

I don't I got something? Oh before we get. Oh, before we get to actually tell the story the actual story. Here we go. I got something and and Chad's gonna love this all right, set the mood for you yes, I figured y'all would like that. Because you know cause. Why that? Because you know, because why not?

Speaker 3:

Why not, you know, Anyway. So James bonds this guy out $2,500, $3,000, whatever it was something like that. It's been a while back, and Pedro does not go to court. We get the forfeiture notice and I go to James.

Speaker 3:

I'mames, I'm like hey man thought I said it wasn't a good idea to do this. Look what happened. Your first one I'm serious, it was his first, first one and uh, his bond ride skills ain't that great. I was like, okay, man, I mean I think he learned a lot from that. I think, well, never mind, I gotta I gotta ride rodriguez over here too just this week, I take.

Speaker 2:

I retract that statement it's like you're pulling up at miami airport. Remember when that big samara, he's got a thing for that I don't know anyway.

Speaker 3:

So I'm like I go through and james is notorious for not getting a whole lot of information. Luckily, on this he had the co-signers information. Hallelujah, we had that. We had a contact number, which was all good. The co-signer was decent and meaning she had a few things and a job and a vehicle, and you know.

Speaker 2:

Was it a wife or girlfriend, or?

Speaker 3:

I don't know what the relationship was, but it was a female, um, american lady, um. Anyway, we call her up and we say, hey, pedro, missed. She's like well, damn, you know, I'm gonna do. We start, start. She starts trying to find out where he's at and these, this guy in particular. He had a son and he, uh, they were living pretty low-key and uh, which most of them do right, right, um, a lot of times at least, around here, they, a lot of them, in one particular house, wherever they're at, there's quite a few together. They're very good about squirreling their money away. So she finally, after a couple of weeks, gets in contact with him and finds out a little bit of information for us and she says he's working on a sweet potato farm out in uh, where I was actually where it was out in a regalwood area.

Speaker 3:

I want to say so, bladen, yeah, regalwood is like a real rural country area. Outside of wilmington they have a little town. Yeah, it's very small. The largest thing there is a paper mill. Oh yeah, that's right, the paper mill, you know.

Speaker 2:

That's why it smells like weird but it's right there on the corner of, like brunswick, columbus, bladen county. But it's in bladen county, I think um or is it columbus.

Speaker 3:

No, it's columbus, columbus. Yeah, so she says that they get up really, really early and there's a, a van that picks them up, like a school bus picking up kids to go out in these sweet potato fields. I didn't know we had sweet potatoes around here, but there are.

Speaker 2:

Did you know North Carolina is the largest manufacturer of sweet potatoes in the world. And now you know. I found that out because I had to search some papers on a sweet potato plant up here in.

Speaker 3:

Bergall, I thought it was tobacco. Who would have known sweet potatoes?

Speaker 2:

Well, north Carolina used to be the biggest producer of tobacco in the world, but now, since you know, I grew up on a tobacco farm. So the tobacco buyout when RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris and all them, probably Virginia now, huh.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So they went directly to and had contracts with the farmers and that kind of did away with the auction. And I remember as a little boy at the auction jumping on the tobacco, oh, yeah, yeah, my whole family.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, my mom.

Speaker 2:

She tells stories of picking tobacco as a kid, but now we are the largest producer of sweet potatoes, all right, and one of the manufacturers for sweet potato fries is out of Burgall.

Speaker 3:

And you're just full of sweet potato knowledge.

Speaker 2:

Yeah man, I found all this out.

Speaker 3:

I had to search some papers on. Ah see, you learn in the most unlikely places.

Speaker 2:

Because I had no idea. I'm like look, I just got papers here I don't even know, I don't even care what they're for.

Speaker 3:

But here, so all right. So back to pedro and his sweet potato conundrum. All right, I've been wanting to use that word conundrum um, finally no, I'm kidding guys um. So she says he gets up I mean butt crack a dong, you know with his son to get on the sweet potato bus and um, out in the middle of we'll just say wrigglewood.

Speaker 2:

I think it's nicania that little nicana, nicana, nicana, something like that's columbus gill, that that's well all that's tied together yeah, it's. It's even smaller than that so it's nowhere anyway.

Speaker 3:

So james and I get up at the butt crack of dawn before and we ride from Wilmington out to this little location. It was dark. We're sitting there. You really stick out in this area.

Speaker 2:

Now.

Speaker 3:

But luckily no one was up at this hour.

Speaker 2:

Now, are you at a farm or are you at?

Speaker 3:

No, no, no. So we were actually going to where he got picked up at, supposedly.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 3:

So we pull up and it's like a real rule, like the road might have like three trailers on it down.

Speaker 2:

Is it like a?

Speaker 3:

migrant camp. No, no, it's just country, you know, right, and there were other houses, houses, but there was this one little gravel road and she said that he'll come out and the the van will come pick them up. About what'd she say? It was like 4, 30, 5 in the morning, something like that, some ungodly hour to get up to be out there, you know. So, um, we're out in the middle and it was dark. We're sitting there and waiting and waiting and finally, from the shadows of this little gravel road, came two figures off in the distance, we can't identify them. And again it's 4 30 in the distance, we can't identify them. And again it's 4.30 in the morning.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, and I'm going based on this was back when he didn't have any social media. I'm going off a jail printout photo. Oh yeah, black and white. Now folks stay with me here, hispanic folks generally brown, brown eyes, dark hair. It's not like you got a red hair, blue-eyed hispanic guy, right. So I'm going off a black and white photo, kind of like so you're telling me they don't look like this right here.

Speaker 2:

Who are you? You, the Three.

Speaker 3:

Amigos, no, not those guys, but the main guy who said that that could be him. I'm just saying you remember that movie, that?

Speaker 2:

was awesome.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely Three Amigos. Yes, sir Aliba, would you say I have a plethora, jefe. What is a plethora? You remember that, dude?

Speaker 2:

I will go home and watch that tonight absolutely, it's a great, the singing bush, you know.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, the sage bush yeah, it's funny, um, so anyway. Um, yeah, I got this photo of pedro, black and white it's. I mean honestly, you know the we wait so it comes into play later. We see the two figures get on the bus. We're like we're not going to do anything, bus or a van, excuse me, it's like a nice van, like uh, I don't know which, like um, it's a big van, yeah, a van. It's not a bus, it's a van. Okay, it'll hold about 10, 12 people maybe if you're hispanic.

Speaker 2:

30 easy.

Speaker 3:

Now, that's stereotyping, I mean they are. They do live in close quarters, a lot of them. Anyway, we decide it's not a good time to pull that, because it's still dark, we don't know who's in the van, you know this sort of thing. So what we do is we kind of loosely follow it right, and it makes a couple more stops and we're, we're back there. It's country roads, there's nobody out, so you got to really let it get ahead of you to not look obvious, right, it gets. It makes about two more stops. Now the sun's starting to peek out, you know a little bit, and they get to turn into this huge field out in the middle of nowhere and, like I said, the sun's coming up and we're like this is when we should do this, because it's a field and we're just going to go ahead and pull this car and or this, this bus van, and we're going to announce ourselves because we have high suspicions. The two figures fit what we were told father and son, right, all right. So we get the. When they make another stop, we pull up, we get out, we show them our badges and we say, look, you know, we have reason to believe that Pedro was on this van no habla ingles.

Speaker 3:

Not a lick of English was spoken on that thing. You could get more English out of a cue ball. If you play pool, you get that joke. Anyway, you're stupid, you get it. Yeah, I got you.

Speaker 2:

I got you, I stopped it, I figured it out.

Speaker 3:

I keep throwing them.

Speaker 2:

You got to catch them, all right, so so we're at this, van what was the look on their faces?

Speaker 3:

Well, I mean mean they were wide awake. You know we came on there with flashing badges. You know we don't know stinking badges. We needed stinking badges, so we had them and we showed them and uh, we looked at, there was probably, I don't know, eight or nine people on this bus at this time and like I said, I had the black and white photo, crappy photo of pedro.

Speaker 3:

I'm holding it up. Is this you is it? You is it, you is this, you damn it? Oh, like, but in the photo he had a freckle right there. Oh yeah, that's the beauty of identifying marks, right, right, that's why I like tattoos. They're great tattoos and marks like that.

Speaker 2:

Right, because you can't fake the phone reminds me of a story I need to tell yeah, so I'm going through and I go bingo.

Speaker 3:

Here you go Pedro, no habla ingles, that's what he's saying to me and it's yeah, actually he was quiet, his son was speaking. He said no, you know. So, james, he did this on top of me, identifying the guy with the, with the, with the freckle there. He looked at the paperwork and he had, from the co-signer, got his phone number. So James called the number, while we're sitting there in front of him, and his phone started ringing.

Speaker 2:

Oh no, this is USA.

Speaker 3:

This is USA, we said come on, you're coming with us and it, you know, there was a little frustration from you know, obviously from the kid, and I get it. I mean the kid was, I think he was like 19, 20 years old, somewhere around in there, and we explained to him, you know, your dad missed court.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but you can't. You can't be drinking and driving.

Speaker 3:

Like, you've got to follow our rules, man.

Speaker 2:

I mean, tomorrow night is going to be just, there's going to be roadblocks everywhere. So please, everybody, we'll bond you out.

Speaker 3:

But you've got Uber, but you've got Uber, you've got all these things. You don't have to drive.

Speaker 2:

No, we want you to get home safely. We don't want you to get hurt or anybody else, but we want you to get home safely and don't do anything stupid. That's what we would, but if you do something stupid, we're here to bond you out so.

Speaker 3:

But hey, you can say that till you're blue in the face and some people still still drive, I know. Anyway, we did our part. We get Pedro to the car you know he's in handcuffs we got him back there. He's sitting back there quiet. We're making our way back to the county jail in Hanover and we're like, why don't you go to court, man? And I swear, the closer we got to that jail, the better that man's English got. It was amazing. He spoke like a scholar, didn't he? By the time we were turning down the road to the jail, he spoke better English than we did and he just said I just didn't want to go. So you're lying. I mean, dude lied, it's his second DWI. He had to learn a hard lesson, man. I don't know exactly how it turned out for pedro. You know a second dwi. You're facing jail time. Yeah, um, not legal either. So I don't know how it went for pedro but that is 2500.

Speaker 2:

Three thousand dollars off the books.

Speaker 3:

Oh yeah, we don't have to worry about it anymore. We don't let anything go. I mean, James and I went to Texas for a $1,000 bond Me and you went to.

Speaker 2:

Georgia for a $1,000 bond, probably.

Speaker 3:

I can't remember how much it was. I mean we have paid one that was way too far for the money. The co-signer paid it, yeah, yeah. Well, we, I think we've we've had to do one or two where you know it was just financially not you know, we knew where it was at and I think they went north and it was a 500 I'm telling you we need to have sal on.

Speaker 2:

And did we? We talked, yeah, we talked about the west virgin one. Never mind.

Speaker 3:

You did the West Virginia one, but he's got more. We'll have Sal back on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll have him back on.

Speaker 2:

That was good stuff yeah. So Pedro the drunk is.

Speaker 3:

I don't know if he learned a lesson or not. I don't know what happened to Pedro Right. Dude drank and lied, and well, I mean, one of his other charges was uh resisting arrest. He probably played uh no, when he was drunk too.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, but he gonna learn well, I could tell you, I could tell you, I'm gonna be drinking tomorrow night, I'm gonna have me a few. Are you? Yeah, my neighbor, my old neighbor so when I live in rocky point, yeah, my old neighbor before I left. He come over, he, he makes moonshine, he made honey, habanero, oh, and it is so good, it's so tasty. So I'm gonna drink that tomorrow night and bring in. Well, I might ring in midnight, I don't know, man, I usually I'm gonna ring in 10, 30 uh, well, you got any plans for tonight.

Collard greens, black-eyed peas, Some good stuff. Well, that was the story of Pedro the Drunk Chad. That was awesome. I've got some ideas now of some stories to tell. It's weird how you'll tell a story and it triggers one and it goes back and forth, because that's why we're going back and forth. Yep, but, man, we need to get. I know ellie coleman's coming on. I spoke with her this morning, okay, um, she's a bond that we did, uh she's a success story.

I checked she was married to a woman right right, right right. They had a kid uh they had one, or they got one, or they found one on the side of the road. I know, mathematically that doesn't work.

Speaker 3:

Ellie, I know you got a good sense of humor and you're laughing about this yes absolutely so come on here and explain yourself.

Speaker 2:

She wanted me to sing this song with my band. She goes here, you need to sing this song. It's picking on, like he picks on a gay person, he picks on a trans person. I'm like, ah, you know what It'd be cool, but I ain't going to do all that because you know, who the hell knows who's gonna be out.

Speaker 3:

I mean, she's a gay trump supporter, oh yeah. Yeah, she is, but she doesn't. She don't take that bullshit, she don't like it, see, and that's what makes her awesome, because her, you know, she lives her life and she don't have to parade around some crazy but she has a fucking badass mullet man she. She does have a nice mullet man.
