It's the real deal.
It's like the departments will say to us, hey guys, here's who you're riding with.
Okay, you know, we'll do what you tell us to do.
It's the same thing in the news business is when you're kind of embedded with the troops, right?
Right.
And, you know, you want to embed with the troops.
OK, you play by their rules and you better abide by them.
Now, we still have the final say on what goes on the air and what doesn't.
But meaning when you're in the police car and I've gone down myself in the field and, you know, the officer tells me, all right, here's how you got to do what you got to do.
By the way, if there's any, you know.
major emergencies, you know, here's how you work this, et cetera.
And so, you know, I get a, I get a training as do all of our crews when they go out every day on how to do what we do while trying to stay out of their way.
My pleasure.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah. I mean, I am a lawyer by training and I use that pretty quickly to pivot into media where I ended up covering some of the highest profile criminal cases from the last, sad to say, because it exposes my age, the last three decades. I started really when I covered the OJ Simpson case, I was in court every day for that criminal trial and civil case. So that was certainly the
the biggest case I'd covered up to that point. And then since then I've covered all the biggest trials around the country. And then recently I started a company called Law and Crime. We now have a 7 million YouTube subscribers and it's a massive legal and crime channel.
But that background is, I think, why the producers came to me to host what is now On Patrol Live, which is a live police show where we follow police departments in real time. I think that they wanted someone who had a bit of a legal background to host the show.
And this is a show that is different than any other police show out there because, you know, unlike let's say a cops where it's sort of a highlight reel of crazy moments, we're actually live in eight or nine departments at once. And so we'll go to a department and we'll see someone approaching a vehicle or responding to a call.
And like the officers, the audience doesn't know what's gonna happen next. The officer doesn't know what's gonna happen next. The officer doesn't know who's in that car. The officer doesn't know exactly what's happening at a domestic call. And so the audience joins the officers in that experience. And I think that's part of what makes the show so compelling.
I think it's that people are interested in policing. I think there is an element of uncertainty throughout the show. And I also think that watching police engage with the community is something people have long been interested in. And I think that there's no other place where they can see it in real time. And as a result, I think that the concept
