When Chris Edgar took office as Camden County Sheriff, he didn’t just inherit a badge — he inherited a mess.

Welcome to Season 2 -- aka year two -- of Take On The Lake! We're starting this year off with a bang... specifically, hundreds of missing flashbangs.

In his first year on the job, Edgar discovered missing flashbangs, non-functional AR-15s, weak ballistic vests, unsecured firearms, and IT systems so broken the office lost dispatch for an entire week. In this episode, we talk through what he found, what he fixed, and what still keeps him up at night.

Topics include:

• Why hundreds of flashbangs were unaccounted for

• How deputies were issued rifles they didn’t trust to fire

• Why some ballistic vests wouldn’t stop a 9mm round

• Rebuilding firearms security, armories, and inventory systems from scratch

• The financial reality of running a full jail — and why it’s a losing deal for counties

• Mental health, burnout, and why suicide is the #1 killer of law enforcement

• Drug trafficking at scale in Camden County — and what’s changed

• The real workload behind 18,000+ calls per year with limited road deputies

• Why visible patrols still matter — and how zoning deputies is reducing crime

• And by the end of the episode I finally realize who is Chris's doppelganger (a certain heavily memed VP)

This is a rare, candid look at what happens when leadership actually audits the system — and starts fixing it.

I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Nathan, Tegan, Jill, and Robby go full holiday gremlin: favorite Christmas movies, worst Christmas movies, “this is not a Christmas movie” rulings, and a few rants.

From Elf and Jim Carrey’s Grinch to Rudolph trauma, Hallmark “cheap love,” and subscription service rage—this one’s pure Christmas chaos.

If you’ve lived at or visited Lake of the Ozarks for even five minutes, you’ve eaten at — or boated to — something George Tucker built.

Paradise, Tucker’s Shuckers, Frankie & Louie’s, Neon Taco, Malted Monkey… the list goes on.

So how does a guy go from buying a worn-out lake bar in 2007 as a new college grad, to becoming one of the Lake's most prolific restauranteurs who is now developing one of the largest entertainment complexes the Lake has ever seen?

In this interview, George reveals...

• How he stupidly (but brilliantly) bought Paradise at age 23 ("I think it was stupidity... but it worked out!")

• That moment when his bartender fell through the floor and he thought "What have I gotten myself into?"

• Why Malted Monkey exists (hint: kids throwing rocks at Tucker’s)

• The scramble to buy Beavers at the Dam at a steal of a price

• The story behind the name “Neon Taco”

• Behind-the-scenes of the giant new project by Bagnell Dam and how it was almost built out of bamboo

• What the Lake still needs to become a year-round community

• Oasis, trails, airports, housing, and the future of the Strip

And why he can't seem to quit buying and building stuff at the Lake (he says he's done after this big one, but I'm not sure he even believes himself).

AND… I share the story of the lion that once lived on the Strip. Yes. Real lion.

When I first started this podcast, I put George Tucker on my interview list. I knew it was a good idea, and I know you'll agree.
