Gotta love that Tim asked Nolan to switch channels but the entire gang just went “Ooh, hot gossip, I’m in”

[@HariSeldon913]

Always happens, usually including Grey. Tim should have done a phone call on speaker.

[@Drifter1989]

@@HariSeldon913I think Grey has to since he supervises everyone on patrol.

[@tsipher]

Lol had a similar thing happen in Discord, “Tsipher switch to General channel, I got some questions about Ethernet and coaxial wiring.” -_-

[@JasonFightsCrime]

We used to do that all the time way back when I was on patrol. It died out when we went to digital radios and cell phones were common.

but he's always quiet until the gossip is ending meaning he's really listening@@Drifter1989

[@alisonb9963]

I really liked the contractor side of Nolan. I think he should still do it on the side like they've been showing with him remodeling his home. I hope we still get to see that side of him. He's such a sweet character but very capable as a cop. The best of both worlds. The perfect personality to be a cop. Caring but competent.

[@lordmonocr6206]

100% those I thought were a great side addition to the show

[@jaleesagreene6800]

Nolan better be like Kelly and Casey and have a side hustle.

[@KS-xk2so]

Between working on his own stuff and helping out all his friends on the force I think he probably gets enough work as is lol no need to hang the shingle again.

[@mrroboshadow]

he does do it on the side they often mention how he does contracting work for his fellow officers ocassionally

[@darrenheadrick3669]

The problem is, is that if he does side work as a contractor and gets paid they could potentially sue the LAPD if they think he ripped them off. John helping other cops on his day off doesn't endanger the PD. In today's world where anyone can sue anyone for anything, even if it doesn't have any merit. Besides, being a cop takes up a shyt ton of your time and so does contracting.

[@smithsonian2464]

Grey comes on the air like "Hey Nolan while I got you on the air, I need some recommendations on hardware for a deck I want to build"

[@originaljackofhearts]

"Why do you have a hammer, Officer Nolan? " "Sorry grabbed the wrong tool belt."

My brain immediately read the first line out in Sgt. Grey's voice

[@nicholasgallo3599]

I think Nolan is the best rookie character. He works hard and proves he earns his place in the LAPD despite his age, eventually he makes new friends in LA with his cop buddies and others and is just an all around great guy who is always willing to help everyone not just his brothers and sisters in blue. It’s amazing to see how Nolan changed his life for the better throughout the show

[@Shibibibibibibibibibibibibiba]

Literally one of my favorite roles Nathan's been in. He plays it so well.

[@minhajnizam5090]

Also I like how Grays opinion on him changed through the seasons, first episode he doesn't like Nolan being there as he thinks he's a risk whose going through a crisis and won't last, but now they're good friends and Nolan has shown him what a good cop he is and that he actually wants to be there

[@Katiejayforever]

I also like when Nolan does make a mistake he works twice as hard to fix that mistake and prove himself.

[@nicholasgallo3599]

@@minhajnizam5090 yeah an example of how Grey changed his view on Nolan is in the 100th episode at Nolan and Bailey’s wedding cuz the priest couldn’t get there in time Grey did the little speech the priest gives while the couple exchanges vows for him

This is one of those scenes that always reminds us Nolan has literally lived a full life before becoming a cop.

"I have built a gazebo or 2 back in the day" --Officer Nolan, season 4, episode 8

[@winsaner]

How i like John Nolan in depth knowledge of his previous career as a Contractor comes in handy: - Season 1, he founds out why would someone install a electrical fuse box near a water pipe, which is a ruse to store drugs and guns - Season 2 he uses his previous contractor skill to renovate an old house he buy - Season 4 he uses his contractor skill to find La Fiera compound plans in the real estate office and analyze it to find a weak point. Or use his skill to help his friends if anyone need to renovate or build something

[@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter]

He also knew that rich people have cast iron bathtubs, which saved a woman and a baby’s life

[@winsaner]

@@CamdenKaneakaNeptunesdaughter oh that one too. Also his contractor skill allows him to be a good repairman if needed

[@jestbone89]

Season 3 he helps with the wedding place.

[@michaelscott6022]

IIRC, season 2 he crawled under a house to rescue a woman and threw her kidnapper through a window.

[@victorwagner2423]

Season 4, he noticed that the house was using 400 AMPs electrical box, which lead them to figure out it was a safe house.

Any advice on how to get better bars on my phone?

[@camohawk6703]

Any advice to make chrome use less ram.

[@DrewSavo]

As much as Nolan was being utilised, there’s an important lesson here. If you’re in need of advice and you have a friend or colleague who knows about that subject, don’t be afraid to ask and more importantly don’t forget to repay them for their time and effort. Regardless of what form it takes, it’s a symbolic gesture that matters. I’m a car guy so I’m used to my friends asking me to come along when they’re looking at buying cars, and the most common thanks I get is they buy lunch. And that’s okay (gesture is the important thing). Until one girl that is: five hour round trip to look at a car she didn’t even leave a deposit on, no offer of thanks at any point, and she left me on a main road NEAR my home so she could get back quicker. Suffice to say once I told about this, nobody was in any rush to do her a favour again.

It's important for a man to have hobbies. Also, i now realize i am definitely the Nolan of my family 😅😅

[@JasonFightsCrime]

Back in the day, we used to go to car-to-car all the time. We could talk to each other, but dispatch couldn't listen. When we switched to digital radios we did it less, because it would cause problems in truncked systems. Plus cell phones were becoming common.

[@andromedafan]

And the episode had the rare team-up of Angela Lopez and John Nolan.

[@FreeTreemlbb]

I know I'm late but I have to point it out. I think it was when they got team-up for the first time and Lopez said something like "This is my shop, I drive" and now, it's Nolan that's behind the steering wheel

Would depend on area what the house was like before rather or not anyone called in an inspection and rather or not it could be considered an historic home. If it is on the historical property list will be a bitch to do anything with it because you have to keep it as OG as possible.

scale of 1-10 should I watch the rookie? I've seen plenty of police procedurals, is it unique enough to make it fun?

The first few seasons are definitely fun. So would definitely recommend. I'm now stuck in the middle of season 5 and just can't bring myself to continue watching. No longer has the charm of the earlier seasons and became too over the top for me.

Earlier seasons are better but overrall good show that I recommend. Some newer characters aren’t that interesting though. Also the spin-off, The Rookie: Feds is a chore to watch since it has crossovers with the Rookie.
