Dive into an electrifying episode with guest Clint McNear, a retired Texas cop, co-host of the Blue Grit Podcast, and newly elected President of the Texas Fraternal Order of Police.

From jaw-dropping personal tales—like a rookie bird-flipping fiasco and a tragic hunting accident—to explosive insights on policing, transparency, and double standards in discipline, this conversation pulls no punches.

Clint unpacks his 22-year career, cracks a 17-year cold case, and exposes Texas’ wild IA rules (no lawyers allowed!). Trading laughs, challenge coins, and Lone Star swagger in California, they tackle morale-crushing processes, unite 80,000 cops, and offer rookie advice that hits hard.

Buckle up for a raw, unfiltered look at the thin blue line from both sides of the badge!
