Pig Latin

A Seriously Funny True Story of a Former Police Officer

De: Eric Tansey, Nick Palmisciano

Narrado por: Eric Tansey

From cop-turned-comic Eric Tansey, a hilarious and humanizing portrait of law enforcement for fans of Walk the Blue Line and You Can’t Make This Stuff Up.

Eric Tansey, a former Army scout and Special Operations military veteran, joined the police force with a ton of unrealistic expectations. The reality of the job knocked him down and changed his perspective on everything.

Always a magnet for uncanny, wild situations, Tansey reveals exactly what it’s like to deal with everyday life as a police officer—from trying to tackle naked suspects to pepper spraying yourself in the face, from dealing with an angry mob to coaxing suicidal subjects off a bridge, an uncut version of everything is included.

Going behind the badge to bring the public a real understanding of the job, Pig Latin hopes to help inspire sympathy rather than condemnation and to encourage current law enforcement with the knowledge that they are not alone in their mistakes, their fear, and their experience on the job.

Simply Amazing

The most entertaining and impactful book I’ve listened to. The author has so much passion reading this book and you can feel the personal connection he has to each chapter. Definitely a must listen

Hard

This book fixed my ED. Years of viagra, Blue chew, testosterone injections, and large and uncomfortable pumps never helped me achieve the Washington monument in my pants that this book did.

Guns up giddy up!!!

Been waiting forever for this Tansey!!! Great book, absolutely love it! These stories are even better than you teased on FTS!

Must Read

What are you waiting for? Just buy it already. Tansey has more life experience over 7 years as a cop in the tip - just the tip - of his finger than all of you reading this combined. Tansey not only survived long enough to accumulate a book's worth of funny, wild, terrifying, gut-wrenching, almost unbelievable situations - he had the discipline to write everything down after he probably already wrote a report about it. Despite the book editor's best efforts, Tansey's humor and way with words still shines through in this slice of life masterpiece. And not that Tansey has anything to be embarrassed about, it takes a serious set of stones to share such personal events and emotions with the world. I hope he makes enough money from this book to afford a massive wheelbarrow to cart those boulders around.

Funny, real, and totally worth the listen

I didn’t expect to laugh this hard listening to a cop memoir, but wow — this one’s hilarious. The stories feel super real and unfiltered, like you’re just sitting with a friend swapping wild work stories. The author doesn’t sugarcoat anything, but that’s what makes it so good — it’s honest, funny, and actually pretty relatable at times. The author narrates the story and nails the tone too, which makes all the crazy calls and characters even better. Definitely one of those audiobooks you end up talking about to everyone. If you like true stories with humor and heart, hit play on this one. You won’t regret it.

Hilarious from beginning to end - LMFAO

Much anticipated and did not disappoint!!! I had the release of this book on my calendar for months, purchased the audiobook version and was so excited to hear that Eric Tansey was going to narrate the book himself. Each chapter is a mini story with a lot of humor thrown in, no matter the subject. Epic, masterfully crafted, and enjoyable until the end. I hope there is a part two that may come out of the journals that Eric Tansey wrote, I know there's more stories!
Guns Up Giddy Up!!!

Very well written story of a cops career

Eric shared many stories from his insane career in the Raleigh PD. The stories were real, funny and heartbreaking at times. Thank you, Eric for giving us this view of what it was like being a hard charger in a very difficult profession. If only the Raleigh PD could get their shit together. Very proud to know you. Cheers man!

Awesome listen.

Is a great listen and I am having troubles stopping it in my busy schedule. I promise it will not disappoint you.

Fantastic Book all around

Your voice in your audiobook is wonderfully soothing, making it an absolute pleasure to listen to and read along with.
