I am not sure, Clonie talked about it at The NBC Heads Up Party and I think its before Day 1 starts. It is going to be filmed I know that much.

I know she was really excited about it though and there are many Poker Players dying to see this.

When Brandon made this bet I am guessing he had no Idea the power of a taser. The bet was made at a Charity Tournament in Arizona for Policeman and a company called Taser International who is based in Arizona was the Major Sponsor.

Hopefully he gets tased with the C2, this taser can be carried by anyone in the USA.

If it is the M26, Police issued....It will take Brandon a full 24hrs to recover.....Good Luck Cantu!

This comment is in extremely poor taste but I really hope that an expert is the one that pulls the Taser out and delivers the hit. Since they're in the Bay area, if they were to have a BART police officer attempt to draw his Taser, some really bad things could happen.

Oh, and Scott, I don't think it's going to take anyone 24 hours to recover. If someone is in halfway decent shape, all the Taser is doing is short-circuiting your neuro-muscular capabilities for a 5-second cycle at most. Most people would recover relatively quickly. Alternate factors such as drugs, alcohol, obesity, pre-existing medical conditions, etc. often lead to prolonged recovery periods or complications.

I know Eric, two things tell me its not the M26, usually you have to have those barbs removed at a hospital, at least the ones we have on our tasers.

Secondly, Clonie is pulling the trigger.

My thoughts on the 24 hour recovery period have nothing to do with his physical condition, more of his mental condition...

It will take 24 hrs to get over the ribbings and laughter once he gets up off the floor!

BART

I wonder how many people got that answer!...you are in a sarcastic mood this week, you need a 6.5 mile leg in the race this weekend to get it out of your system.

Wow, I live in Northern California, but I didn't immediately get the BART reference. I had to look it up. Definitely more than 24 hours to recover from THAT scenario.

Uh oh. So Layne Flack should avoid ever taking this bet at all costs.

BART police is just like the regular cops with guns and all except that they just patrol the BART stations.

Yeah...One is in trouble because he went to taser someone recently (supposedly) but drew his gun and shot and killed the guy they were detaining.

He immediately resigned from the force and they are full fledged Law Enforcement Officers in CA.

I haven't heard about this incident. I used to live in Oakland took BART often as a kid (before I started driving).

There were two people videoing at the time (cell phones, aren't they great). The second view shows it really clearly, I think the officer just panicked, excessive force is an overstatement IMO.
