    Jan 31 2024

    Ever wondered what really goes down in the world of law enforcement? Strap in for an episode of ThuzBuzz that pulls back the curtain on the high-octane, unpredictable realm of police work. Jessica Taylor and Mike Gonzalez serve up unfiltered insights, from an Ohio officer's brush with gunfire, to the razor's edge decisions in a knife-point intervention in Baltimore. We go beyond the headlines, dissecting tactics and the moral tightrope walked by officers in the line of duty, including a DUI case in Utah that'll have you rethinking everything you know about emergency responses.

    But it's not all blue lights and adrenaline; we peel off our badges to reveal the lighter side of life. Laugh along with us at the absurdity of a Bobcat skid loader gone wild, share in our dismay at 'The Watcher's' finale letdown, and puzzle over the curious case of fluctuating Hobby Lobby prices. Whether it's the shared letdown of an unsatisfying true crime binge or the heartfelt gratitude for a blue line soap gift, we're bringing you the personal beats that resonate beyond the uniform.

    From the courtroom to the dinner table, hang with us as we navigate the complex dance of transparency and accountability, where a single police encounter can spiral into a heated legal debate or spur a civil lawsuit. Then, join our salute to everyday heroes, like the daring helicopter rescue crew, and tip our hats to the embodiment of American values in a sheriff candidate from Idaho. With a side of humor and a dash of gratitude, we sign off, reminding you of the power of kindness and the importance of community. Thanks for tuning in and riding shotgun on this journey of reflection, revelation, and the occasional boar attack story.

  • Episode 14 - Code Black
    Dec 20 2023

    Could the World Economic Forum's influence on global policy be paving the way for a new era of feudalism? Jessica and I dissect this notion, scrutinizing the interplay of fear and manipulation in crises like COVID-19 and climate change, which some argue are strategies to entrench a technocratic elite. We fearlessly question the potential repercussions for ordinary citizens, who might find themselves in a modern serfdom under the guise of crisis management. Alongside our global analysis, we shift our gaze to the streets of Seattle, raising the alarm on the latest drug menace, 'Trink,' and its harrowing effects on urban life.

    Strap in for a segment that mirrors a "Black Mirror" episode, where the distinction between dystopian fiction and our current reality blurs. We explore the unnerving advances in surveillance and robotics, and the implications of such technologies slipping uninvited into our daily lives. For a dose of local flavor, we give you the rundown on the toll that the drug crisis is taking on downtown Seattle, detailing how the deadly concoction of fentanyl and xylazine is causing societal decay. It's a sobering look at the world we're navigating, one fraught with addiction, surveillance, and the creeping in of science fiction into our present.

    We wrap up with a critical breakdown of recent police incidents, providing an analysis that is as intricate as it is candid. Diving into the heart of downtown struggles, we reveal how crime and homelessness are driving businesses to the brink. We don't shy away from the tough conversations as we examine bodycam footage from a police shooting, dissecting the ethical labyrinth officers navigate daily. The episode closes on a lighter, albeit bizarre note, with a tale of a Walmart security system that's eerily perceptive, offering a candid reflection on surveillance, censorship, and the sometimes ludicrous interactions between officers and the communities they serve. Jessica and I promise you thought-provoking discussions that will linger with you, long after the podcast ends.
