This is things police see.

It is I with you as always, old freckle face here for you, everybody.

Scroll down, click, be a guest. Have a couple stories ready. We can go through it. And believe me,

you probably qualify. I know there's a lot of guys out there rolling around and they're pushing their

cruisers or their or their FBI cars or whatever and they're wondering, do I have the

stories? I bet you do. I bet you do. Reach out. Let me know. Let's get you on here. Let's get it done.

I'm excited for today's guest. He's going to be a two-timer on things police. See, he's come back

to tell some more stories. Really had a great response from his last appearance. Had a really,

really fun time with him. He was a supervisory special agent for the DEA. He did 32 years there. He started his career as a high school teacher, which I think a lot of you like that story. Without further ado, let me bring on the great Jack McFarland. Jack. Hey, Steve, all here, brother. What's going on, man?

Good, good to see you. Hey, man. Thanks for coming back. You as well. I'm very honored. I'm very honored to be back in the seat here speaking with you. Seriously, I really am. Well, I'm glad to have you. You really hit it hard, brother. You're getting on the radio now. You're doing all these other podcasts. You're letting it rip. I tell you, you know, it's, it's fun.

Number one, it's fun, And I get the opportunity to promote DEA, but also, you know, me and guys like yourself who understand the job, who understand what you, you know, you're going through what you went through and your audience as well. So, you know, I'm a very humble guy, but yet I just, I just enjoy getting out there and getting a message out to the general public, no doubt. Absolutely. And special, all those, especially all those years being a special agent where, like, couldn't really say much. You definitely couldn't go, like, on a podcast and just talk about it. You've earned it, man. You're at the point in your life now,

it's time to tell some stories. Let it rip. Yeah, I know it. I really appreciate that because, you know, all the guys and gals that do the job, I mean, it's, it's one of those things, I may have said on the previous show we had back in. I guess it was July, no, excuse me, August, August. And I'm very honored to be to be asked back by him. I really am. But it's one of those things that, you know, you just got to understand. It's, we, we, in law enforcement, it's not an easy business. It's just not an easy business. And I can stress that enough of the brotherhood and the sisterhood that, that brings people together when you're dealing in law enforcement.

I don't care what level you know, because it's local, county, state, federal, international.

We all do this. We all do the same thing. We carry a weapon and hopefully we come home in night or we come home in the morning, whatever your shift is.

Yeah, absolutely. I love it. I love that you're getting out there, brother. Last time we talked, we did the boiler plate questions I always ask.

And then we touched on a little bit about your work in the Caribbean and the islands.

And that is a real subject of interest for people because I don't, a lot of times people,

me included, aren't even even really we don't even
