Ever wondered how the buzz and cheer of a stadium crowd could squeeze into the pixelated realm of vintage video games? Join us, Justin the Happy Medic, and me, MC from MCPD studios, as we wander through the labyrinth of nostalgia, starting with the iconic Intellivision gaming system. We also decode the mysterious Australian term 'Iliwacker' and share how it ties back to my policing days, encountering some of the most cunning characters you could imagine. The tales continue with our recent spring training baseball adventure, where we not only got to bask in the love of the game but also navigate the comical chaos of flying with Frontier Airlines—because, let's face it, when your baggage fee outdoes your airfare, you know you have a story to tell.
Then, we shift from the outfield to the gritty dynamics of selling law enforcement equipment. With my own transition into a new security role on the horizon, we dissect the merits of commission-based work versus the steady paycheck of a salaried job. Listen in for insider details about blending in and interacting with the public on duty, and the anticipation of training for this new chapter in my career. Wrapping up, we ponder over life's little trinkets versus the practical things we need, all while keeping our feet firmly planted on the ground—no 'Iliwhacker' ventures here. So, buckle up for a rollercoaster of memories, insights, and good company with all the laughter and camaraderie you could ask for—more of which we promise in future episodes!
