The Bounty Hunter’s Surprise and Iran Ultimatum

A quiet holiday weekend turns into a packed grab bag of news, local chaos, and one of our most unbelievable real-world recoveries. We start with what’s coming up fast: our April 19 Wilmington, NC event with Leland Chapman and family. We talk sponsors, where to get tickets, and why VIP matters if you want the private podcast experience, closer access, and the stories you don’t get while standing in a long line. 

Then we hit a headline that made us stop scrolling: a high school student creates a filtration method that reportedly removes 96% of microplastics from drinking water using ferrofluid, a magnetic oil that binds to plastic in moving water. That sparks a practical conversation about bottled water, heat, and why “microplastics in water” is not just a buzz phrase when you’re thinking about everyday health. 

From there we bounce through sports and spring culture, then get blunt about politics, leadership, and the frustration of not knowing what’s really happening behind the curtain. We also share a disturbing moment we witnessed that highlights how visible mental illness and public safety issues are becoming even in places that never used to feel that way. And to close, we deliver a full-on bounty hunter story: a barn break-in, law enforcement doing nothing, a bond forfeiture that changes the game, and a morning confrontation that ends with handcuffs and stolen property coming back home. 

Subscribe for more true bounty hunter stories, bail bonds talk, and unfiltered conversations, then share this with a friend and leave a review so more people can find the show.

You know, a lot of people don't even know what that is, probably. Majority of people, but if you think about it, all the drinking water we're sitting here looking at it for you know, the plastic bottles that sit in the sunlight, and if you've ever you know seen them like some stores leave them sitting outside. Yeah, I don't know. I don't I don't know. It's like the worst. Um but microplastics seep into um your drinking water. And like there's you know, there's stuff about that that's um it's not good.

Uh that's I mean, and if you know the dog, the bounty hunter theme, that was an Aussie song, and it's this is an extension kind of of that music.

SPEAKER_03 10:48

And so we're like, I love that music, don't get me wrong. Yeah, but I'm like I'm a country and reggae guy, and you're like you're metalhead.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

Yeah, it's not for everybody, and I've kind of gone in. I like alternative, like I like Morrissey, I like my Smiths, you know, I like that scene too.

SPEAKER_03 11:08

Yeah, see that that was not me.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

That was my time period, yeah, you know, of college, um, which it was cool because it wasn't mainstream, and I think that was the draw of it. And now the music sucks um so bad that it just I mean, I don't know how to describe it, but my kids don't like today's music, which a lot of is rare. Yeah, a lot of kids follow whatever is you you it you ingest what's put in front of you musically.

SPEAKER_03 11:35

Well, there's really nothing going on like that's worth a damn. Right now, country music, it is because you got you know, you there's a lot, and there's some country artists that I don't like, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:46

They kind of there's a bunch of sellout type of music.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

Yeah, I'm not a big fan on some of some of the country artists.

SPEAKER_02 11:52

Yeah, not to sound old or anything, but I like the older stuff.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

It was not yeah, you know, yeah, that's and that's what me and like my band plays. We play a 90 90s country, and that's so good, it's so fun. I think we play some we play some 2000 stuff, but it's not but it's not like a lot of the this like I don't like some of the newer stuff, right? Like I'm not a big Morgan Wallin fan. Oh yeah, I I'm not a huge fan of him, but you know, it's whatever. Like this weekend coming up as Tortuga. It's the big, it's a huge festival down in Florida to do every year. And Kenny Chesney's closing it out, man. Last time he was there was in 2017. I would love to see how he closes out this year. Man, he's always got a good show, right? So, but I'm I'm hoping I like Kenny. Yeah, he's awesome. We're gonna go see him at the sphere in on Las Vegas this year.

SPEAKER_02 12:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 12:38

So I'm kind of I can't wait to see how that goes. I'm not I'm not too sure how that's gonna go. But uh but when you go down to the House of Louise to go see Zach Wilde, you gotta give me some videos and pictures. I gotta see it now.

SPEAKER_02 12:52

Oh, I will.

Conservative Frustration With Trump

SPEAKER_03 12:53

I will definitely say so on to world news. Man, I don't know about you, Chad, but I'm really not happy with our president.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

You know, both of us are uh conservatives. Yes. We know we're outspoken. Uh we have been supported of Trump, but we're not liking what dude's doing now. This is no, we talked about this a while ago. Right. And this is a conversation that I don't see liberals having between each other is admitting that they don't like what their great leaders are doing. Biden, they wouldn't they would ride that ship till it's sunk and take their dying breath following that fool.

SPEAKER_03 13:34

And uh in other words, we would get on the lifeboat and say, screw this.

SPEAKER_02 13:38

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm just I'm not happy with and a lot of people aren't with what's going on over there. I think there's a lot that we're not um California, huh? Okay. Um Burbank. Um there's a lot that I don't think that we're we're in the know, which we weren't previously either, but at least our guy was is is able to function. But right, you know, I get it. You know, if it's if if the job's been done over there, it's time to get out of there and and get out. Why are you why are you still there? Um the gas prices people are feeling still not as high as it was with Biden. There's that fact.

SPEAKER_03 14:22

But I'm a Buddha's advocate too.

SPEAKER_02 14:24

I know what you're gonna say, and yes, he did run on uh affordability. We all know that gas basically controls everything as far as the prices of goods and services, foods. You know, if uh gas is high, it's going to cause your food to be high because it takes more to get it to you, right? I mean, we yeah, it's just common economics.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

Right.

SPEAKER_02 14:51

But you know, what what is what is it that we're not you know, what we're not seeing? What was is it the right thing to do? I don't know. I don't know. We can sit back and punch holes in it all you want. But I can tell you one thing that will the greater outcome of the whole thing be better, you know, if we you know can get through this.

SPEAKER_03 15:12

Yeah, I can tell you one thing. I am 100% totally I I cannot stand as you know, we you know, he made that tweet this past weekend.

SPEAKER_02 15:22

Yeah, I I was I could not believe that was real. Um but I kept seeing it. Um, he dropped the F bomb on a tweet and a B, and you know, it was I I think he was making threats and when he didn't get his way, and now he's gotta he's actually gotta go through with it.

SPEAKER_03 15:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:41

If he's going to. Um, I think that was the frustration.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

As a as the president of the United States, he shouldn't he shouldn't be putting it out like that. You should keep your just keep your damn mouth shut and do what you gotta do and get in and get out. Yeah, yeah. Let's just get like I know we had a down fighter jet, yeah, and and the two and they rescued them and nobody got killed, which is it's amazing at what our military can do.

SPEAKER_04 16:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 16:05

Uh I just I'm getting a little like, all right, haven't we like bombed every damn thing of theirs already? It would appear to either they're not gonna make anything right now because it's all destroyed.

SPEAKER_02 16:18

Yeah. Why are we still doing things there?

SPEAKER_03 16:21

Right. So what's going on?

SPEAKER_02 16:22

I mean, we'll we'll question it. You know, we're gonna question it, even though we're not gonna follow Trump till he freaking, you know, does whatever. I mean, we're gonna we're questioning what's going on, you know. At least have the sense to have that conversation.

SPEAKER_04 16:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 16:34

You know? Um I don't know, man. Uh today, while we're filming this, is the the day that uh the sixth day that he gave them the ultimatum. So we're it's so early that we don't know the outcome of what's what's to come with this. Which will we'll air this tomorrow and it'll probably already be happening. Um so we don't know at this moment.

SPEAKER_03 16:58

Well, you know, I I I I hate it, but you know I I just I just let's get out of there and let's concentrate on us. That's that's what that's what I think a majority of Americans want.

SPEAKER_02 17:15

Yeah. Yeah. I mean he's got a lot of angles. If he wants a Republican to stay in office, you know, he's gonna have to he's gonna have to make some big moves to redeem himself with this.

SPEAKER_03 17:29

Um with you.

SPEAKER_02 17:30

Yeah. So we'll see. You know, um, I hope it's all worth it. Yeah, I I'm telling you, um, if it is if he does does pull this off, I mean, yeah, you you can't always have, you know, roses and and the and the luxuries in your life. There has to be some some sacrifice. I get that. You know, people whining about it. Yeah, it does suck, but is it worth it in the long run? Is it gonna be worth it?

SPEAKER_03 18:00

Yeah, but how like but how like how much of do we have to pay for his decisions? I I don't we don't know.

SPEAKER_02 18:12

We don't we don't know if he's doing the you know exactly the right thing or not. We don't know. We we don't know. I know that's that's the problem is if he could be doing, you know, he could be hating it and being like, you know, hate doing string is stringing this out as long as it is, and I hate this the people are doing, you know, it could be that he might have an ultimate plan.

SPEAKER_03 18:34

Or or you know, he might be saying, screw it. I don't have to run again. I'm gonna do, I'm just gonna, you know. But now you're thinking like a Democrat. Well, no, I'm not thinking, I'm just saying.

SPEAKER_02 18:45

You also have the Trump Trump uh the uh Trump ego factor. I get that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There is that. I mean, we'll see, man. There's a there's a lot going on. There's a lot of what it is. You know, all you blue hairs and you know, all the purple haired people. Y'all are probably losing your your stuff right now. But just hold on, let's see what happens.
