Transcript excerpt

This is my sister's boyfriend, Trey, also known as Troy, and he's got a pretty loud sound system in his truck. No today, I'm having him install that sound system in my van because he desperately needs it. And after about a week or so of him working on it, I got a little skeptical because I hadn't heard anything back from Tier. Turns out, I'm just an idiot, and I should have never trusted this kid with my van. Is this my fault? You should have known. Yes. You guessed it. He squatted my rank. A wise man once said, boo me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you. When you have audio like this, you've gotta have the lien. Now Trey don't level his drug. And it turns out Troy is a local fugitive. So I went and waved down this cop to ask him a few questions. Best that's legal? Technically tier that. Yeah. See? No there's other trucks that I've pulled him in? You pulled him over before? I don't know. Tier, do we know each other? Oh my.
