Tim describes watching a three-hour LA police chase live via FaceTime with Devin, noting the driver's careful driving, the odd lack of traffic, and the domestic violence tip that started it.
- Tim watched a three-hour high-speed police chase in Los Angeles where the driver plowed through a fence at a park but then drove perfectly for the rest of it.
- In New York, high-speed chases don't happen the same way because cops would just shoot the guy to be a hero.
- Tim FaceTimed during the chase at the two-hour mark because he was riveted, but it kept going with no end in sight.
- The driver ran on fumes and the whole chase supposedly started because someone saw him with his girlfriend in the passenger seat and called it in as domestic violence.
- When you actually watch police work unfold, the stunning level of incompetence is amazing.
- Local news anchors in Arizona, fresh out of community college, treat the chase as a big deal while covering things nobody cares about like school board races.
- Watching these news people riff during the coverage is brutal.
