What's up, Kids! Josh and I hit the streets in The Precinct, determined to clean up the city one traffic ticket, car chase, and wildly unnecessary use of police resources at a time.

Then, in the middle of recording, my living-room TV decided to come off the wall—because apparently the real crime was how poorly that thing had been mounted. Protect and serve? We mostly crashed, ...
