0:00 Three months into dating Geo, Alhambra, after In-N-Out, he rolls a stop sign, the cops run his name, comes back to the car with his gun out. Bart ends up cuffed on his sidewalk. In a holding cell with his drawstring cut, and Geo drives his car home for warrant he didn't know existed. Bart, tell us what the warrant was for, and also what did Geo say in the car? >> It's actually funnier if you don't know what the warrant is till later. >> Okay, fine. Tell me the story about the funny way. >> So, no, no, it's not It's more It's more interesting cuz so me and Geo we tell me the interesting story. >> [laughter] >> So, me and Geo we first started dating. This is like 2000 8. We just started dating and we don't know too much about each other in that regard. She does know that I have a past cuz she knows I'm friends with Joe and stuff, so she knows about stuff like that. And uh yeah, we we went to In-N-Out in Alhambra, the one that now

0:51 moved somewhere else. Oh, the one that got expanded. Two E's moved somewhere else. Remember Two E's? >> Yeah, Two E's. >> Yeah, okay. [laughter] Remember Two E's? >> I don't remember Two >> So, this is uh this is when Garfield Atlanta goes >> Very specific. >> That specific In-N-Out in Alhambra, we ate there, drive back home, going down Main Street next to Almanzor, and I was driving my uh I had a uh a Tacoma with a six-speed stick shift. >> Geez, man. >> [laughter] >> It's a big truck. >> And uh it's late at night, so of course I'm running or like just doing the California stop at stop signs. I didn't see this cop. He pulls me over, and then uh I think with cops if they have a warrant they go, "Oh, this ████ He's a criminal, violent offender, some kind of s███." >> Before he took your license or afterwards? >> Um >> he like run your plates and then already knew? >> I think he already ran his plates cuz that's >> So, he showed up with the gun?

1:41 >> That's part of their due diligence, yeah. >> Yeah, yeah. >> But he was very nice, though. He was all right, but he was firm. "Can you please get out of the car?" Uh "And I need you to sit on this curb. I do have like a" I don't know what the ████ he said, and I was just like at that time I think I was so like goody two-shoes that I'm like, "I don't even ████ need rights. Do what I re- I searched the whole car. I'm a good boy. So, I sat down and I think that whole time I could see Gio looking at me like Wait, what the ████ This isn't a normal pull over. Like he's like searching the car. He says he has a warrant and all this stuff. And with my eyes, I'm trying to tell her, I don't know what this is about. I'm an innocent boy. I'm a very good boy. I joined the Marine Corps. I go to Elac. I'm a good boy, good boy. And then she's just like, uh-oh. And I was like, ████ I hope this isn't ████ everything up. And then so I tried to like sneak in like a uh like a olive branch. I'm like, oh sir, if you find like a stack of papers

2:32 underneath my chair, that's just me applying for the Burbank Police Department. I'm uh >> You did not say that. This guy is a cop, dude. >> I was trying to like let him know like, hey, you know, like it's not what you think it is. I'm a good boy. And then he was like, okay, noted. And he went down. He did see the whole stack of applications or whatever. And then uh he was like, okay, so here's the thing. I'm going to have to take you back. Um and uh we're going to have to figure out in the morning cuz it's already like midnight. And then I'm like oh, what do I do? And then he was like, maybe she could drive her car home. And I'm like Hey, Gio. And then the cool thing is Gio knows how to drive drive stick. So, she I was like, I guess I'll call you later. I don't know what's going on. So, I'm cuffed. She drives it back. And then um >> Cool first date, though. >> And then uh he puts me in the back of the police car. And then what's really cool is since we

3:22 already kind of had that rapport um and he knew like I was a Marine. I was talking to him about the army. I was trying to like get him to keep his like guards down cuz I don't want like any like I don't want the negative treatment. >> Yeah. >> Cuz I've also in high school gotten slammed on police hoods and stuff like that. So, I'm I'm trying to keep it like chill. We go into um the holding the holding jail at Alhambra. It's also where where the city hall is at, by the way. >> Cool. >> You go there. >> Sweet. I want to hear the reference though. >> Because [laughter] he it's Pasadena adjacent. >> I'm like, oh yeah, I know that. >> Yeah, yeah. >> So, they take me in. >> [laughter] >> They got to cut all my shoelaces cuz you can't have any weapons in there. And I had to pull out the drawstring of my shorts, but then my shorts like constantly sagging now. They put me in a jail cell with like some other cholo. And I'm like, what the ████ And it feels weird because it's just him and

4:13 multiple jail cells in there. And I'm like, damn, if this fool really wants to just come and stab me or whatever, he can. But good thing he was like laid on the metal bench trying to sleep. So, I was like, I guess I'll just try to lay here and figure it out. And uh hours go by. I see crazy characters get pulled in. Chicks that look like hookers get brought in put in other holding cells. Some guy in like a ████ chicken like mascot outfit. I'm like, what the ████ going on in the middle of the night? I really start to feel bad for cops and I'm like, man, they're dealing with all kinds of characters in the middle of the night. They just cut They keep coming in. And I don't know how long it's going to take uh for me to be in this holding cell. And then finally he goes, oh, you know what? We like I think we got to the bottom of it. They pull me out. And now it's like 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning. And I feel really bad cuz I'm like, you

5:03 know, when you first start dating a chick, you don't know if she's going to wait up for you or this could be it. And she's like, I'm just not really going to pick up any of his phone calls or whatever. Um and I called her and she did pick up cuz I she was waiting up for me. I'm like, aw, how sweet. So, I'm like, hey, you could pick me up now everything's been cleared up. So, what I found out was um back when I lived with my dad in Armani, I had like expired tags for my dog, my dog Tyson. And I guess that went to collections. And after a while at collections, it turns into like a felony or something. >> What? For your dog's tags? >> dog's tags. And >> That's insane, dude. >> Which I see why people just don't register their pets cuz I'm like, why make it I I try to be the good person and it turns into this whole huge

5:53 ████ >> now. >> Yeah. And then uh so but their police code for that is like let's say it's like 187 or something. So it doesn't register the same in El Hambral. Like every police department has a different police code for different things. >> Oh. >> So when they pull it up, 187 could mean this, but in over here it means that. >> And they don't know until they process >> know until they trace it to where it was like I guess booked. So they found out, oh it's just police tags, non-violent crime. Hey, go ████ get this ████ taken care of. >> [laughter] >> And then so I had to tell that whole thing to Geo and it was really sweet of her to pick me up at like 4:00 a.m. >> Wow. >> And um what we found out it was all cuz of ████ expired dog tags. But the whole time I was ████ bricks too cuz I was like there are a lot of stuff I got. >> Could have been other things. >> been other things that I got away with and I'm like, ████ is it going to

6:43 backfire? Like is my life over? Like I'm just going to E-Lac, getting good grades, trying to like maybe be a police officer and all that. And I was glad it was something small. >> Damn, dude. Was that the last time you got arrested? That was it. >> Yes, I think so. >> last one, right? >> so, yeah. >> Damn, that pause was scary. [laughter] It was a long pause. It was clear. >> Probably the the the vision to Geo is like she's seeing you get arrested and you're kind of playing it cool. You're >> What's that? >> Yeah, kind of. >> It's kind of hot. >> Yeah, kind of you're just like >> just like >> Don't worry, we'll get this figured out. While you're in cuffs, Burbank application for the PD. >> [laughter] >> Your normal state of how you handled it looks like a guy playing it cool. >> Yeah, that's what I'm saying. >> Really? >> Oh, I would think. >> Maybe. >> Cuz you're not like, "Oh, what happened?"

7:33 >> Yeah, yeah, [laughter] yeah. >> NO, I SWEAR IT'S an old warrant sir. >> You recover from that, you know? >> That'd be me. >> I'm so sorry. I didn't even know. Like I what do you I don't >> [laughter] >> I don't even understand what happened? >> and you start saying things it could be. You start incriminating yourself? >> Worse, yeah. >> [laughter] >> Oh, there was one time we all got pulled over and got all sat on the curb. It was me, Silent Mike, Geo, and this guy named Charlie. And it was we're driving through Monterey Pass Road. And Geo was the one driving. They pulled us over cuz I guess her car matched a car of a robbery that just happened. >> What the heck? >> And then it was a young officer this time, so he couldn't wait to be like >> Oh, great. >> And then he was like, "They're like in the car there's a really, really big white looking dude, a big Asian dude, and a 7-ft Mexican lady."

8:24 >> Yeah, like, "We need to get you on the other camera, whatever." And then, you know, for me I'm like >> I think at this phase of my life I'm just if you just comply you're cool. So, I'm just like, "Oh, yeah, whatever." Like, I don't even care. You put me on the curb. So, I I was sitting on the curb. It was like me, Geo, Silent Mike, whatever. >> still taller than the officer while she's sitting on the curb? >> Honestly, this one was like >> to have to arrest you. You're a little too tall. >> Yeah, cuz this guy was all >> He's got to talk like this. >> Oh my god. >> was all interrogating like >> He's developing his personality for as a cop. >> Finally, I think his training officer comes out. It was like a higher ranking sergeant. And he's like he just comes out and then uh he was like "Hey." And he pulls them aside. I can hear him in the back. He's like, "Hey, can't be those guys." And then they're like, "What?" And he was like, "Well, like all of them are in sandals. Like, they're not going to rob a house." >> group. >> They're not going to rob a house in sandals. Like, well, like So, I I think that guy this is probably his first like like call to a scene. >> Yeah. >> So, he couldn't wait to be like

9:14 >> have the experience in the Yeah. >> the suspects. >> [laughter] >> But then I think the other guy was just like, "Dude, look >> Basic logic. >> None of them are sweating. None of them have a crazy heartbeat like they ████ just hopped 30 fences. They're all wearing slides. Like, it's it's cool." And then they they let us go. >> Even though you guys had like shovels and shoes in the trunk and stuff? >> Yeah, dirt [laughter] and >> Cuz isn't that the first thing they look for like what um, said is like burglary paraphernalia. >> Yeah. >> And if that's not in your car, it's probably not you. >> Flip-flops are kind of the the calling card of the >> the silent killers. >> Yeah, we were just all like fitness influencers, so you could tell we're just wearing baggy clothes. Like just like >> Right. >> No way those guys ran that much. They're They squat 500. No way. [laughter] Look at Silent Mike. The guy has a ████ brick house. >> I know, that does suck where like cuz that happened to to my old crew when we were hanging out at McDonald's on a Amar

10:06 And you know that 20 It used to be the only 24-hour McDonald's in the the 626 for a while. And the one in West Covina, it's a McDonald's on the on the corner of I think Amar and uh it might be Azusa. >> Oh, okay. >> But, um, we were just hanging out outside there and they did the same thing. They were like, "A car or a description matched you guys." And they held us for like an hour in the cop car. >> They're just like, "Uh, yeah, buddy. DeLorean's a DeLorean." >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> Can't get away from me, buddy. >> But, it's crazy they just have to do that. Imagine like at the same time different people are being held for like one guy's crime. >> Probably. >> It's crazy. >> I mean, if they're doing their job, they probably are cuz they're trying to like catch a big net and then reel the whole thing in. >> Yeah. >> To wherever the point is. So, but to me I'm like, they're also doing a hard job,

10:57 you know? >> Yeah, it sucks to have to do that. >> cops that go up and license registration and just get blasted right away. >> I don't think they're like ████ for it unless afterwards they they're dicks to you. >> Yeah. >> When they let you go. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. >> They should at least as a citizen like be sorry about it. >> still have a ego or whatever. >> They're like, "Hey, sorry that we put you guys through this." Usually that's how it ends. >> Yeah, yeah. >> But, if they're just like, "Get out of here." >> I wish cops had characters. That'd be cool. If they just were like, "Oh, I'm sorry. I was playing my bad cop character." And you go, "Oh, okay. I thought it was a stand-up officer." [laughter] They did That's what they said. >> Like going to comedy traffic school or something where they they have a theme for the day. >> She's like, "Did you believe that when I said it we have evidence? Do you believe that?" >> Yeah. [laughter] >> That would only work though if like all the cops that roll up all have a distinct character like they're in like a ████ sitcom or or an anime or something. >> One guy makes like sound effects like the police scanner or something. No, like that's not real. This is a bit. >> One cop's the straight man. >> [laughter]

11:47 >> Making everybody's jokes funnier. >> Denzel. I see what you're doing. You're Denzel the funny guy. >> gotten like arrested or sat on the curb recently or no? >> The most recent one was um probably a few years ago. I was driving my dad's car. My dad has like a Lexus LS uh one of those like um what is it called? The The like '90s Lexuses. >> Oh, sick. >> um Yeah, I was with like Deetrick and Aris and stuff. And then they pulled us over and they said that the car was stolen. And then they like took like maybe 30 minutes like we're we're just sitting in the car. They're like running numbers or whatever. And then he comes back and he's like, "Sorry, I was a digit off when I put it in." >> That was nice though. >> A ████ typo? >> Yeah, and he was like, "I'm really sorry about that, man." [laughter] He was like really embarrassed. >> make you like him a little bit more? >> It did, yeah. Cuz he was like super

12:38 embarrassed about it and just like pointing out total human error. Like this has I was like, "Sorry for making you think something weird happened." Cuz I was starting to think it was a stolen car. I was like, "Dad, what did you do, dude?" I was like, "You've had this car since '93. It's stolen? Like what do you What is this?" Yeah. >> Wait, did Mike Did Mike When Mike came out here, did he tell you the story about his Cadillac? >> Mike Silent Mike? >> Uh uh Mike's home. >> No, I don't think so. >> Okay, he never told the story when he came Okay, uh semi semi recently um uh Mike used to have this Cadillac CTS. >> Oh, I remember the black one. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah. He drove it like ████ forever since like college days. And very recently he like sold it or something like that, right? Um and then like a year later he gets this like ████ subpoena email type thing from like a legit law firm that he He to Google cuz you know you we get a lot of random stuff.

13:28 >> Scams. >> And when you see something like that, it just goes mentally into a place of like okay, whatever. But he had to Google it and it's like a legit ass spot. So he's like, what the ████ So he's actually getting in like correspondence with them. I feel I don't even know if I'm supposed to say that. Whatever. He gets [snorts] >> Allegedly everything. Mike's saying >> Mike this is my friend uh Silent Mike. Uh and um And then uh they go down like he has to look on the news because what had happened what what he found is that his car is responsible for killing somebody. >> Oh ████ >> Right? And then he's like, "Dude, I was that's First of all like I don't even have a Cadillac [snorts] anymore or maybe >> I would never do that. >> [laughter] >> I know that car. That's a good car. >> Then they showed like ████ like actual like camera footage from like the ████ intersection or whatever cuz like a hit-and-run. >> Oh ████ >> It's ████ his car. >> Oh ████ >> So Mike's tripped the ████ out and now

14:18 he's got to go all the way around to like explain to them that he sold this to another situation of all ball so whoever he sold it to or whatever happened in the car a year later somebody was driving it killed somebody with it. But I don't know if they changed the registration of the owner or something like that but Mike's the one who got pinged with it and had to explain it. >> That's so crazy. That's insane. >> Trippiest thing cuz he's like, "Wait, I killed somebody." >> Yeah, [laughter] dude. As long as you turn in that red slip, the freaking release of ownership, you're probably good. >> Yeah. He was all right. But still, what a trip to see your your old car. Like you have like a relationship with it, you know? >> Yeah. Next time you see it, it's a murder weapon, dude. I >> killed some guy. Sad, dude. >> Mike's on you should take better care of your stuff. >> Silent Mike Silent Mike Silent Mike Silent Mike. >> Mike King, dude. You should [laughter] You need to figure it out. >> Come see him.
