00:01:23.000 You got tostitos out the west.
00:01:28.000 I like the Beatles.
00:01:30.000 Yeah, they weren't Zambian, were they?
00:01:32.000 I thought they're from Liverpool.
00:01:34.000 They were from Liverpool.

00:01:39.000 I must say, I don't know any.
00:01:42.000 You pretend to be a music expert.
00:01:44.000 Main Navy.
00:01:45.000 Main Navy.
00:01:46.000 As soon as it's time to really put the pedal to the metal.
00:01:49.000 Fell flat.
00:01:50.000 To pull the rubber on the road.
00:01:52.000 No idea.
00:01:53.000 No idea.
00:01:54.000 I don't even know where the fuck Zambia is.
00:01:56.000 What is Zambia?
00:01:58.000 I have no idea.
00:01:59.000 I'm always amazed when anyone, anything in Africa works.
00:02:04.000 Like, I guess this is racist, but when there's a building in Kenya, like a skyscraper, I'm like, who the fuck?
00:02:10.000 How the, who did that?
00:02:12.000 Who made that for you?
00:02:14.000 I went out with Jomo Kenyetta's son.
00:02:17.000 Who's Jomo Kenyetta?
00:02:19.000 Oh, my God.
00:02:20.000 From the Mau Mau uprising.
00:02:22.000 Oh, we're getting into like all those late 60s, early 70s revolutionaries like AIM and the Black Panthers and everything, right?
00:02:32.000 No, he was nothing like the Black Panthers.
00:02:35.000 He was against the British.
00:02:37.000 He became president.
00:02:39.000 Sorry, Mau Mau uprising.
00:02:41.000 We're talking about Africa now.
00:02:42.000 That is Africa.
00:02:43.000 Can you wake up and smell the cocaine, Gavin?
00:02:50.000 What's that strange sound we have clipping away?
00:02:52.000 I'm coming out of the speaker.
00:02:53.000 I don't know why I'm coming out.
00:02:55.000 Okay.
00:02:56.000 We didn't do much preparing, I guess, before we started the show.
00:03:00.000 We have Tim Dickman, as usual, and his partner, Neil.
00:03:04.000 Now, I know you homophobes jump to homosexuality when we say partner.
00:03:09.000 It's also a police term.
00:03:11.000 You guys were together as friends for, what, 20 years?
00:03:16.000 20 years.
00:03:16.000 20 plus, yeah.
00:03:20.000 20 plus years, yes.
00:03:21.000 So there's only one mic for the three of them?
00:03:23.000 No, I'm fixing that right now.
00:03:25.000 Tim has a little doohickey?
00:03:27.000 Yeah, I got a little doohico.
00:03:29.000 You guys ever shoot anyone?
00:03:31.000 No.
00:03:32.000 Were you ever shot at?
00:03:34.000 No.
00:03:35.000 So state troopers, pretty easy job, isn't it?
00:03:38.000 It's just drunks and speeders.
00:03:40.000 Well, you know, a lot of the situations you get in are, you know, how you present yourself.
00:03:45.000 You may deflect some things, you may de-escalate some things right away that, you know, you never know what could have happened.
00:03:51.000 You know, we got plenty of guns off the street, plenty of bad guys.
00:03:55.000 Do you think Derek Chauvin could have de-escalated that situation better?
00:04:01.000 Yeah.
00:04:03.000 I think the confrontation between him and George Floyd was pretty routine up until the point.
00:04:10.000 He looked up and people were videotaping him while he was kneeling on his back and he was overdosing from fentanyl.
00:04:15.000 He could have de-escalated it by just pretending to care that he didn't overdose and got him out of it.
00:04:21.000 It shows me that police work is contingent on who's filming and how the media will run with it.
00:04:27.000 Exactly.
00:04:30.000 So what should be his punishment?
00:04:31.000 You're the judge.
00:04:34.000 Mark Chauvin's punishment.
00:04:37.000 Departmental.
00:04:38.000 You know, maybe suspended for a couple days.
00:04:41.000 I mean, people die.
00:04:44.000 Wow.
00:04:45.000 People die in police custody all the time.
00:04:47.000 That's my point.
00:04:49.000 I think George Floyd was going to die that day, whether he was kneeling on his back or not.
