His brother WAS a genius, evidently. "No Quarter" by Zep mixed with a parental argument? Meme-worthy stuff 5 decades ahead of its time!

@@joeblack007Maybe that officer has been out with that guy before? Also a lot of people on scooters tend to be previous DUIs. It sucks that they generalize, but I'm sure it's hard not to if you see the same sort of patterns day in and out. That job in and of itself makes it hard to be very warm and outwardly empathetic on a daily basis. Not sure how they could solve that really, since it's just a part of the job that would wear on anyone.

[@Dolphins_are_our_Overlords]

It looks same but it is way different & better than the show. Its a podcast medium,meaning way more listeners hear it from countries where the show never aired or was on very late night time. It is freely available to everyone through official websites & podcast apps like spotify,apple,google,seriusxm etc to every open source podcast app making ir available. On the podcast there is no filter of saying curse words & no pressure of it being censored for being too gory like explaining a man's accident injuries etc. There is no hard time limit & usually 1 hour is the average guest talk time which is way longer than any show without any censoring & limiting. You get crystal clear audio because it is a podcast & you could listen to it at your own time. Casual nature & being open about everything is only able through podcast. Just look how conan swears & goes into real dark comedy in the podcast compared to the show where it is clean. I'm saying this cause we never had conan's show available in our country & through this medium there are definately millions of new conan fans growing from countries like mine

Looking through the bus window, all I could see was a red lightning on the highway - he was there, then he wasn't. I got scared for the rider, so I said a little prayer for him, "I hope he returns to his loved-ones home safely." But before I could return to my book, I heard the woman in front of me scream: the biker hit a Toyota Quantum, and the impact sent him up in the air. Almost everyone stopped on the highway to see how he was doing while someone called an ambulance. I think of that man every now and then and hope that he did make it out.
