0:00 thank you [Music] this uh headline is going to have a couple funky little twists but try to stay with it canly North Carolina right a new town manager was appointed and the cops there were in such a disagreement with who they appointed that the entire police force quit Town manager is that like a mayor ████ police boy how many people are in the police force that's what I wanted to know it's like three so so the entire part time including administrative positions everything every person in that building resigned and all the murderers are like yes is this like one of those little town Villages where you just drive through like you know I've done road trips to the South and stuff where there's like
0:50 four houses and it's the village of whatever it's called and that's it yeah yeah yeah yeah let me tell you how many people that is total seven seven people four active full-time officers and in three like office HR the town itself only has 2 300 people but still seven people all collectively deciding resign like what is what it's like also seven cops holding down this town yeah that's crazy what do they do just like go and make their own band you know say it like they're the criminals too yeah oh ████ yeah but that's um the crazy thing is it took me like three different articles where they didn't even mention the total models they were just like oh the whole police worth quit and I was like how many is that and it looked at another one they still didn't say still didn't say then I Googled like oh Kenley has 2300 people living there yes and the police force is uh for a full-time
1:41 office well for dramatic effect you know you think if you're from L.A you're like the hell that's like 40 000 officers just quit right now can you imagine that ████ imagine La no cops but like what if you were just like a neighboring town to Kenly and you just saw that headline and you're like okay time strike let's go okay maybe it's one of those towns where it's so small though that everyone knows there's no criminals here yeah and everybody's just in your ████ and we all know each other yeah but what what what instigated them wanting to quit that's a thing they don't say anything well here's here's the content the only thing context-wise that I could get is that and of course this is going to sound obvious the police department felt like they were just being overworked because they're
2:31 understaffed oh I mean that sounds pretty oh it didn't matter who was gonna come in there that was just like the timing yeah but you know yeah and I guess the town manager wasn't really in line with the things that they needed in order to like remain uh I guess like satisfied oh he might be doing like like budget cuts and more hours and less resources and then the ████ police chief or whatever is like I can't ████ work with that ████ yeah yeah and uh they they didn't say actual details but that's pretty much what like they're kind of inferring and so uh once that time manager got appointed they all just said Peace like team wow I don't like local police usually are part of some sort of a union where they have collected bargaining and stuff like that if they were having issues with like maybe they just don't like this this guy because whoever got appointed was the high school bully that all the cops knew
3:22 and then they're just you know they got like small towns got like old beef you know it's all like big it's ████ big yeah and he and he won a a prom King and nobody liked it he got prom King and now he's the ████ guy that's how it matter he's all looks like a town manager no buttheads out of here who's first to get juice like all right oh my God imagine a seven-man March like the seven people were like trying to protest we're out of here how do they rehire that dude who's gonna ████ join the police force Department like a whole other piece if you Joiner immediately promote it to police
4:14 here's a new shirt for Town not in my town yeah I guess I'm over here and once there's like this other town where it was a small town and there's this controversy where the police all resigned and an estate came in so the state was interesting okay common gear things yeah yeah so I wonder if that's a problem I mean that is what happens when uh isn't that also when City owned schools or city-run schools like go on strike they start sending in state people yeah yeah usually what state was this in this was in North Carolina North Carolina a town called Kenly where there's no cops baby he said do what you feel kind of place you know to be a part of a small town where like your uncles like the police chief and then like your mom like ████ runs
5:04 this bakery or whatever just everybody just knows each other's like a big fat family or whatever right because I've been in La all my life and you just don't even talk to your neighbors I mean I remember that used to be a thing though it used to yeah it was everyone knew kind of the block and ████ right yeah and then I'm like no one wants to even say hi it's just weird that's why I kind of feel like that image of what life is like I feel like that's what we were supposed to be building towards yeah and La is just too big of a city and you know a lot of ████ just doesn't go that way because when you really think about things in terms of small towns everything means more like if you had like 2300 people right let's say you had one guy that just didn't want to do ████ yeah and he's just a bum like wouldn't you be like hey get up and do ████ you know but then like if you have that Village junk yeah in a big big city when like you know it doesn't really
5:55 matter that much it's just like oh yeah that's something must be just wrong with that guy but like if you had a village and everyone's contributing to like one goal of being a nice town like everybody's effort matters right that's very true yeah it's so weird checking in with each other too that's true yeah Community is a big thing that's not showing up hey what's going on let's go to this house check on them or whatever yeah it's like being part of a church that's like really you know very close that's what I miss about church ████ the gossip but I I miss the community things yeah but then man those ████ get so petty and so gossipy yeah yeah that's what I ████ hate I think he goes both ways right like I've talked to folks that moved from Little cities or little towns into California and you're like the small towns are stifling because everyone's all up in your ████ oh yeah there's a town Karen oh yeah you know what I mean and like everyone's judging you because you know what you did in high school even though you're in your 40s right now
6:46 or whatever like that and you're like I'm 40 and I'm a professional doctor or something you know that's true I didn't think about that pretty small town I think it was probably about like 8 000 people but it's very small yeah yeah so we did have like uh it's Humble Texas uh where our humble humble yeah it's spelled like humble but it's pronounced humble oh and uh I was there and like uh every you know even like Elementary School like I've had the same you know when you have a homeroom class uh not every year whatever I've had the same like uh a couple of friends from pre Pre-K to High Senior Year that's cool same all right yeah yeah yeah and still to this day I have friends that I've known since like third grade it's also stories like oh he's doing this now oh that person died what because this person was this yeah
7:36 there's a lot of them you remember first and last names yeah first last names and and then like you know uh it's pretty cool like when people are like damn Chris Sosa came from Humble Texas like they kind of have their they do the whole Hollywood thing for me but it's pretty cool like but it is those stories everybody knows everybody at my past we'll go to Walmart and we're definitely gonna see it's somebody who I went to school with or somebody knows my dad's story and yeah it's a whole stuff and have that conversation and talk so that's why in small towns everyone takes forever to go get out of the grocery store because everyone's talking the whole way through everyone's chatting up what's up what's up yeah you see that a lot in like Hawaii that's true it's super dope yeah but I wonder do you think since you're from like a town that's smaller is there a higher care density in smaller towns I don't hire Karen uh nah
8:30 kind of the same ratio yeah I think I think the Cairns are just they're just like there yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure they're evenly distributed even like a big chip yeah yeah yeah for sure but yeah the uh there's there's definitely stories we'll we'll get around and then also you kind of like you kind of know the uh the success story of like when you're when you're from your town like that you know like they're going to have a family and then they're going to be working in the either the power plants or the oil field in Houston so like the jobs are kind of like they're gonna set yeah yeah you kind of yeah the structure of it is uh like uh pretty and there's nothing wrong with it but you know you know that's true if you're in a mining town it's like yeah you're gonna work for the mine right yeah that's how it did uh did your dad grow up in that town too oh oh no he was uh my my dad my dad
9:20 was like from Puerto Rico and then went to New York and all stuff but then he ended up like he they when they went to Houston he was already like um let's say like 24 25 and me and my mom already they were young so like he met my mom when he was living in L.A he was living in L.A for a bit he was like 21 22 and my mom was uh uh 21 and so yeah they met as kids but then they um they went back his parents were living in Houston because my grandfather got a job at the power plants so it was like a select humble out of Lake all the towns to live at how'd they say oh um I don't know I guess the the way that the the market was because we were actually from a town like a city um called Pasadena Pasadena in Houston in Texas I see in Texas yeah yeah passing the Texas they like yeah yeah Pasadena here is
10:10 like way nicer yeah president out there it's called stinka Dina no you don't say that about my city man yeah yeah even though we need the same one hey what the ████ yeah because that's where the the power plants are so you can literally smell when you're getting into Pasadena oh yeah it's a radioactive smoke and we've got three eyes I know but yeah we grew up we grew up in a very like suburb neighborhood you know saying my my neighbors I had a white neighbor here black neighbor here in the crossroad was an Asian neighbor so I I didn't I I truly grew up with just different cultures that just how I was so I didn't really understand I really I didn't understand like the racial stuff until like I've moved to L.A because it was so heavy be on it that's what people tell me is like Ellie's not uh Diversified yeah but like they think uh there's
11:00 diversity here because there's a lot of cultures but what it's so ████ big that people could just stay in their own communities yeah never learn English right whatever or just yeah they're not mixing yeah no self-sufficient Community with like been born in America and have only Mexican friends only Asian friends whatever it is until they're until they're ████ like old it's like without even having one black one white whatever there's no mixing yeah so that's the that's the weirdest ████ to me because in Vegas once I moved there I was like oh this is a diverse City yeah like like you my neighbors are all like different cultures and stuff yeah there's no like one area that's like only one race yeah yeah his best friend's name Skyler really why you wouldn't have no Skyler best friend over here [Music]
