1. I am glad everyone enjoyed the video.

2. Regarding the speeding issue, you can do sometimes and it not being your fault. Back when I was 19, I started getting speeding tickets left and right it seemed. I got 2 with 3 months. I then took a trip to Las Vegas from Phoenix and I was extra careful to keep the car at 55mph the whole way there and back. On my way back, it was nighttime and I was tired. I still was careful, but then I suddenly noticed the car was going 70mph because of a downhill pass. I slowed back down but wouldn't you know it, I get pulled over. It was no doubt a speed trap. The cop was not interested in giving me a speeding ticket as he claimed he smelled marijuana in the car. I do not smoke marijuana or sell it so I let him search me and my car. As he found nothing, he let me go without any tickets for cooperating. The also happened to me when I moved to Reno. I was careful not to speed, but I managed to get pulled over twice when I was heading up there. Both were speed traps were the speed limit jumped from 65mph to 25mph. The first cop in Goldfield gave me a ticket, but the one in Fallon let me off with a warning.

The marijuana thing is interesting. I'm pretty sure you're being profiled based on how you look and/or how your car looks. Next time you should tell him you've got some crack but it's buried in some obscure spot that will take him forever to get into.

There is even more to the story. The cop claimed I threw a lit cigarette out the car. Anyone who knows me knows that I have never smoked a cigarette in my life! When he got to the trunk I admitted I did have beer in there. He said he could care less as that is not what he was after. I even got to keep my beer. This was definitely a set up. The next year I got arrested in Iowa for stealing a car, my own! Luckily I managed to find the title before I was sent to jail. I have had some weird cop situations for sure.

It's a term of endearment among their own kind.

CNN plays the wrong music and apologizes - YouTube
No, that was a GREAT laugh!!!! Good job, LVD!

Maybe they meant to go for something like this:

You're 100% right...it would not be nearly as funny without the shout-out.
