| 0:00.0 | Just a week ago from the recording of this episode, I was on a sting, a takedown sting for my streaming |
| 0:16.2 | crime network, True Blue, in Genesee County, Michigan. |
| 0:19.5 | And as you know, we work with the ghost team, Sheriff Chris Swanson and his entire ghost |
| 0:25.1 | team there. |
| 0:25.9 | And we set up a sting. |
| 0:27.2 | But we did something different this time. |
| 0:29.5 | Instead of having a sting house, we actually went to a truck stop. |

| 1:30.7 | What means you want to be a part of a sting operation trying to catch predators in a truck |
| 1:36.3 | stop on I-75 near Flint, Michigan? |
| 1:38.7 | Well, thank you very much for having me on your show. |
| 1:41.6 | I've been watching you for 21 years. |
| 1:44.0 | And, you know, where I come from in the |
