In this episode, I share my experience while serving in the US Army with the 204th Military Intelligence Battalion while deployed to the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1991. Our small group of intelligence badasses came to be known as the Desert Storm Ruffians!

In this episode, I share how I was locked up for a crime I didn't commit, 3 days before I my enlistment in the United States Army was up! This takes place in May of 1993 in Augsburg, Germany at a Beer Fest! Prost!!!

I have spent the better part of 30 years unfucking other people's problems. I have an analytic mind and am always trying to find the solution to any problem I am faced with. With the COVID-19 pandemic, I had to really read between the lines and try to make sense out of this global issue. This episode is my opinion and analysis of the situation. You may agree with me, you may think I am full of crap. Either way, I appreciate you taking the time to listen!

In this episode, I share a crazy story from my time as a cop in West Pottsgrove Twp. PD in PA. This story details a domestic call that I responded to with a 6'5", 250lb guy wearing nothing but old school YMCA gym shorts who was high on PCP, Cocaine and Booze. Let's just say, he went to jail with a headache and probably will never eat spicy food ever again!

In this episode, Matt details the most unusual moment in his 27 year police career - the night he and his patrol car were picked up in an F3 Tornado in Royersford, PA on July 27th at 11:48pm. For more information please visit my website at www.mattcubbler.com.

In this episode, I share how I come to rational and logical decisions when deciphering today's political landscape. In a world where news media outlets are so drastically in conflict on the same conversation, it is very difficult to know what is true and what is fiction. Who to believe and trust becomes a crap shoot when you are inundated with starkly one-sided information. Additionally, as a society, we have become reactionary and easily emotionally manipulated as a result of smart phones, cable TV and social media. My goal is to inspire people to use their critical thinking brains to make rational and logical decisions when choosing a political party or candidate. I have no desire to change people's political affiliation, rather I am simply asking them to be educated and come to their decisions from a place of logic vs. emotion. I use the same logic when I am hiring a doctor, lawyer, accountant, or, God forbid, ever a victim of a crime - a police officer. I want the best person for the job. I don't care if they love their mother, went to church, gave to charity, kicked a dog or banged a hooker - I want them to do their job exceptionally well and that is it. Perspective of what government is - they are OUR employee's in the business of running America. I don't need Jesus to be my elected official. Let's USE OUR BRAINS!!!!!

In this episode, I share my embarrassing and humiliating story from my U.S. Army days where I was "Locked Up Abroad" in Acuna, Mexico. While this story is not one I am proud of, it most certainly was funny, insane, memorable and part of my life journey into who I am today. Sit back, grab a Corona and enjoy this episode!

In this episode, I share a funny story from 1995-96 time frame, while I was working for the Royersford Police Department (PA), that features me and a few of my fellow officer's dealing with a 300lb naked woman who hears God speaking to her as she is laying in a mud puddle one summer night around midnight. Disclaimer: I am in now way slighting those with obesity or mental illness. Simply sharing a story that actually happened the way I describe it in this episode. Sometimes, shit is just funny.

On a cold early morning in December of 2012, I was dispatched to a maternity call while working the third shift at my police department. What happened next was something I will never, ever forget for as long as I live! Listen as I share my experience of delivering a baby in the front seat of a Toyota!

In this, the first official episode of the 3rd Shift Podcast, I share an intense and mind blowing call that I experienced 6 months into my rookie year in 1994. This call was INSANE!!! I also share my views on law enforcement today and how the breed of cops is much different today than when I was a rookie - 27 years ago!
