Full Show 8/12/2026: NOPD may have more time for traffic enforcement; do more traffic stops make the roads safer?

Violent crime is down in New Orleans, and one possible side effect is that NOPD may have more time for traffic enforcement. But is that actually good news? Do more traffic stops make the roads safer? Have you ever gotten a ticket you didn’t deserve or somehow talked your way out of one? Also, Scoot talks about some more primary election wins that took place around the country this week and mentions how ICE agents are soon going to be outfitted with gloves that can deliver an electric shock. Scoot talks about misheard song lyrics, the words you sang wrong for years before finding out what the artist was actually saying. Example: "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix , many think the lyrics say, “Scuse me while I kiss this guy” instead of “Scuse me while I kiss the sky.” Why do the wrong lyrics stick in our brains so hard, and what song did you completely misunderstand until someone ruined it with the truth? Andy Cohen was asked why there are so many MAGA women on Real Housewives, and his answer was pretty simple: reality TV reflects conflict, personality, money, ego, status, and the culture around it. So why are people surprised that politics shows up there too? Are these shows shaping the culture or just reflecting it? The latest on the investigation into the death of Nolan Wells, including questions about a reported altercation and the claims spreading online. What has actually been confirmed, what remains unclear, and how do you separate real information from speculation in a case that has drawn so much emotion and national attention?
