Peace Through Strength, Prices Through Pain, And The Grind Of Real Bounty Hunting

Tickets secured, date locked, and the lineup everyone asked for. We finally pinned down our April 19 live event in downtown Wilmington with a VIP podcast, meet and greet, and plenty of time for photos, merch, and real conversation with Dog and Leland. After months of double bookings and scheduling chaos, it’s go time—and we’re breaking down exactly what to expect, how to get VIP access, and why seating is limited.

From there, we shift gears into a candid look at real life on the job. When your work involves heavy equipment, a tougher truck isn’t a luxury—it’s survival. But the dealership numbers were brutal: towering sticker prices, “approved” payments that rival a mortgage, and a decade of debt that makes no sense for a small operation. We talk through the decision to skip the shiny new rig and grab an older, fixable diesel that actually fits the business. It’s honest, unfiltered talk about cash flow, risk, and refusing to get trapped by financing hype.

The backbone of the episode is a field story with Leland Chapman that shows how smart planning beats brute force. We set up on an apartment complex in Columbia, kept a low profile, and used a simple, time-tested ruse—“I think I hit your car”—to draw the skip into the open. One block. One quick move. No injuries. No drama. Just good comms and clean execution. We share the little choices that make big differences: blending in with an unremarkable car, reading the parking lot, and moving only when the opening is real. If you’re curious about how real fugitive recovery works, you’ll get the play-by-play.

We also touch on the headlines shaping everyday costs. Global tensions push fuel prices up, and regular people feel it first. We talk about strength, restraint, and the reality that stability matters when you’re filling a tank, booking a flight, or keeping the lights on. It’s not a think tank crash course; it’s the view from the cab, the bench seat, and the kitchen table.

Want in on April 19? VIP gets you early entry, the live taping, light bites, and time with the crew before GA opens up. Seats are limited and moving fast—grab your spot, subscribe for updates, and leave a review to help more folks find the show. Then tell us: are you going VIP or rolling GA?

SPEAKER_04 7:39

I've been looking at I I think I'm gonna I think I'm gonna get a uh a used used diesel truck or work, you know, farm truck uh for the equipment. It's not bad looking. It's uh it's an older Ford, but uh I can get it for like a few thousand dollars, and if it breaks down a well, I can fix it and it's paid for.

Financing Madness And Walking Away

SPEAKER_04 7:57

So, anyway, moving on, uh we've got to talk about the the world events now. Well, what's uh like we're bombing the shit out of Iran.

SPEAKER_02 8:09

Yeah, I mean I see you know the gas prices going up.

SPEAKER_04 8:13

Yeah, I'm a little upset with that.

SPEAKER_02 8:15

Yeah, a lot of people are. Um I can see two points of view on that.

SPEAKER_04 8:23

Right. Um but here's my here's my take. Here's my take on this shed. These gas companies are making trillions of dollars. Trillions. And because the higher ups are just padding their pockets more and more dude it's okay not to jack the gas prices up. They need to stop it, needs to stop, bro. Like like you're like we're all bleeding over here. That's that's how I kind of see it.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Yeah, and I don't I mean I don't I don't I don't think this was uh say this administration or the previous. I mean it's been going on.

SPEAKER_04 9:04

Yeah, it's always been but we gotta but well I mean Trump ran on tra changes, so I think we need to have some changes.

SPEAKER_02 9:11

Trump did say, you know, drill baby drill, you know, that's domestically, so I was thinking, you know, gas prices gonna get better because it's you know in the right within the United States. We're not we're not worried, we're not really relying on Iran or uh or uh oil. Right. Like China is.

SPEAKER_04 9:32

Well, I you know, just think about it. I mean, Venezuela's gone, Cuba's gone coming right behind it, now you got Iran, and then everybody else. I mean, that's where all Russia and China get their oil from. Yeah. I mean, just think about it. I mean, if we cut them off like that, that's gonna hurt them. I think that's a plan. I think so too. Right. So, I mean, it's gonna be interesting to see. But it's kind of I mean, I'm I'm glad we don't have boots on the ground.

SPEAKER_00 10:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:04

I don't want to see that. Yeah. I mean, because you're going to the belly of the beast in Iran. Them people are crazy, man. Right. They they hollering a la Okbar on the damn planes and go boom and stuff here in the US. Like, what the hell's going on? You see the guy in New York City?

SPEAKER_02 10:22

You're talking about the on the plane where they had to tackle the guy in the plane? Yeah, that too. Saying that too, America.

SPEAKER_04 10:28

Yeah, and then and then another one was uh the guy had a like a bomb, like he threw, like and the cops had to get him in in New York City, and now uh the mayor's like, oh, it's white people's problem. White people's the reason why I'm like, what the hell, dude? Like, what kind of racist shit is that? Like it's not a lot uh Islamophobia. It's not that at all. They hate America. Why in the hell are you here if you hate it? I don't get it, man. It's just it just baffles me.

SPEAKER_02 11:01

Well, in my opinion, you go wherever you go, you love the place that you're at. Right, right.

SPEAKER_04 11:06

You don't do you don't say the shit.

SPEAKER_02 11:08

I always wondered that about Puerto Ricans that come here and they all have the little flag hanging from their mirror. Right. You know, and driving around with that and nothing against y'all, but I mean you hear Puerto Rican, you know, like I mean Puerto Rica's kind of like that weird area, you know. We had just went over with Bad Bunny because he's Puerto Rican, and you know, not saying he's not American, it's an American territory. It's right not in the continental US. Right. Um kind of like the redheaded stepchild of the U.S.

SPEAKER_04 11:44

Well, there's a yes, yes, absolutely. I mean, I don't know. So there's there's a clip though I saw with Bill Bill Mayer uh Meyer Bill Mayer, whatever he said. Uh and I'm I'm gonna play it for everybody here. It's pretty, it's pretty he's siding with Trump on this. And Adam Shift was on the show, right? Shifty shift? Shifty shift. No neck, pencil. That dude, that dude needs to go away. There's a lot of them that need to go away.

SPEAKER_02 12:12

Right.

SPEAKER_04 12:12

I think, but I think America's tired of it because Bill Maher's even siding, and everybody's like, whoa. Yeah, that's that's that's pretty impressive. Listen to it. Let me play this for you.

SPEAKER_00 12:22

This statement from the administration. The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest. That's too vague for you, totally vague. Okay, because that's from Obama about Libya.

SPEAKER_04 12:41

Yep, yep.

SPEAKER_02 12:42

Wow.

SPEAKER_04 12:43

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 12:44

So that's pretty cool. Yeah, yeah. All right, so totally unexpected from that.

SPEAKER_04 12:49

Catching them, catching them like that off guard is is awesome to me.

SPEAKER_02 12:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 12:55

Because it just shows you how

World Events And Rising Gas Prices

SPEAKER_04 12:57

much of TDS they have.

SPEAKER_02 12:58

Yeah, they're just in that lane and gonna stay in it no matter what.

SPEAKER_04 13:02

And of course, Adam Shift after that came back and said, was like, well, you know, uh, backpedal. Well, we're gonna backpedal a little bit.

SPEAKER_02 13:09

Yeah, whatever, dude. You're so full of shit, it ain't funny. Look, man, just just pick an issue, do the right thing. Don't matter who's right, left, right, whatever. The the right thing needs to happen. Don't right, don't pick a side and say the hell with it. I'm just sticking with this one group, you know, just because.

SPEAKER_04 13:30

Right. Uh and and on another note though, with all this going on across these, I think it was time to show our people, our viewers, what uh our U.S. military motivational video can do.

SPEAKER_02 13:50

All right. Are you ready? Yeah, let's have it. We need that.

SPEAKER_04 13:53

Yes. Hang on, let's turn this up a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 13:59

No more distractions. No more electric tanks, no more gender confusion, no more climate change worship. We are laser focused on our mission of warfighting.

SPEAKER_05 14:17

We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars we never get into.

SPEAKER_03 14:27

It's called peace through strength.

SPEAKER_05 14:31

Look into the eyes of these young Americans who are giving up the best years of their lives in a uniform to serve their nation, they are powered by leading the world to face our friends who will respect us, our enemies will fear us, and the whole world will admire the unrivaled greatness of the United States military. We will be fighting the fight of our armed forces, and we could find this.

SPEAKER_04 15:10

I didn't know it was a felt because he's kind of figured it was fighting buffer fine.

SPEAKER_05 15:19

God bless you, God bless our armed forces, God bless our men and women serving overseas, and God bless the United States of America.

SPEAKER_04 15:29

How cool is that one.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

Very motivational.

SPEAKER_04 15:32

Very motivational. But it you know what it makes me very proud that, you know, it I I I've always heard of this, but it really hasn't hit me until now. My my son, you know, he turns 17 on Thursday. Okay, cool. Uh no, no, next next week. He turns 17 next week, and he's signing his Coast Guard paperwork. And so it makes me very proud that my son's going into the Coast Guard, you know, doing something to support, you know, re representing the country. Right. And not being a damn woke purple headbull.

SPEAKER_02 16:06

Yeah, that's a moose ring wearing. So few young men, and guess what?

I'm not a hundred percent. I think that's what I heard. Yeah, it's gonna be on YouTube. Yeah, um, he did a podcast with Laura Trump and uh discussed it, I believe. And uh we need to watch some of those, actually. Um I think he did, I did this. Uh why I want to say YouTube, it's it's for a freedom of uh speech uh thing that the reason he went with them. Right because he was kind of monitored when he was with A.

unknown 21:41

Right.

SPEAKER_04 21:42

Uh so this story started out. Uh I was in Charlotte with Matt and a couple other guys. This has been years ago. Yep. Uh, and we were up there for like a week uh tracking a uh a few fugitives down for uh a bondsman up during a cleanup for him. Excuse me. Um, so

Military Pride And Family News

SPEAKER_04 22:03

while we're up there, you know, we're doing our thing, we're a couple days in there, and I get a phone call from Leland going, Hey man, I need your help in South Carolina. And I'm like, what you got? And he goes, I got a skip. We know exactly where he's living at. We know exactly what he's driving. It's in Columbia, South Carolina.

He pops a back trunk up and I'm like, what's up with this damn station wagon, bro? He goes, he goes, man, he goes, would you if you're on a run, do you think a station wagon gonna come get you? Smart, man. I was like, you are you this is true. I had to give it to you. Yeah, so he pops the trunk, he's got everything back there. It's it's loaded to the gill.

Leland jump in the car with Leland jumps in the truck with me, and Bill and them, they're in one, they're in the station wagon, and then me and Leland are in my truck, and they set up on one side of the apartment, and we set up on the other. And of course, we're sitting there waiting, you know, uh trying to see what you know what happens. It's at night, but I don't think it's late, so we're just kind of see if he comes out. If he comes out, we're gonna roll up on him and get him. But nothing. After about an hour, hour and a half, nothing. And then so, but between the hour and an hour and a half, me and Leland are cracking jokes, laughing our asses off uh for an hour, hour and a half. It was it was awesome. Leland's a great guy, he's he's a good-hearted guy, great sense of humor. Um, but it was fun. Yeah, so while we're sitting there, and I got this idea from you, dirt chad. Thank you very much. Okay, what'd you do? All right, so we're talking talking about like, well, he's hunkered in for tonight, he ain't coming out. How are we gonna get in that house as third party? So we're like, all right. I was like, I got an idea, guys. And they were like, What? We're on the speakerphone, right? And they go, What you got? I was like, go to the door and knock on the door and say, Hey, I think I hit your car outside. Oh yeah, done that one. And if he's a and if and if he's smart, he'd be like, Oh shit, let me go take a look, and he'll come walking out. They're like, Oh, great idea. I was like, Oh yeah, this is gonna work. And so me and me and Leland are there ready, we're itching. And so uh Bill sends one of his guys up there and he knocks on the door, goes, Hey, I think I uh I think I hit your car outside. It's not bad, but yeah, I think you might want to come look at it. Okay. So he positioned the car, a look like a way, like it, like he thought he hit it. Bro, when he started coming out and he started walking to the car, I saw Bill and his guys running from like a mile, it looked like a mile away. It wasn't a mile away, but I mean, like I said, a far distance. They were running, and dude didn't see him, but he would come from my so I said, Leland, I said, he's on my side, dude. I'm gonna drive up, I'm gonna slam on brakes, get out, and grab him. He said, All right, do it. So he comes up and he gets right in between two cars to his drivers. I come pulling up and he's blocked, he can't go nowhere. Sweet. And I jump out and I grab him. I'm the first one to him. I get him on the ground, get him a handcuff.
