Charlie (last name redacted) is the meme lord behind the very popular Instagram handle @teneight_memes. Although he’s known for his very funny and sarcastic sense of humor, Charlie has been put through the emotional ringer over the last year and we talk in-depth about how humor and music helped him through a very tough time. In this episode you’ll learn:
- Why Charlie started a meme page that pokes fun at police work.
- What happened when Charlie responded to his friend Jason Raynor getting shot on duty and what happened when he later passed away.
- How Charlie made a big decision after another partner took their own life after Jason’s death.
- What Charlie has decided to do with all that trauma and stress to make cops healthier.
- How growing up as a punk rocker made him a better cop.
- How music and humor have gotten him through hard times.
