SPEAKER_00 1:20

It was it was great. Um had a good week. Uh yeah. Uh definitely for a loop, didn't I? A little bit. A little bit. Uh gonna say work was pretty good. Um getting a lot accomplished. Oh man. Um, you know, um, we actually have a couple of birthdays this week. Um yeah, it's exciting. Uh kind of a stressful time uh because we're trying to make our kids' birthday special. Of course. So that uh you only get one for every year. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 2:07

Um, and then you get old and they're just another day, and trying to not have my kids feel that. You're just trying to get another birthday. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, so yeah, it uh hopefully everything goes well. Um they my wife, I I tip of the hat, hats off, because she definitely makes her children's birthdays very special, a very important time. Um so that that I think I I really am very thankful for that. Not that my parents didn't try, but um we live in Iowa in winter time. Yeah, your December birthday has its other uh um other plans for your birthdays. So um, but no, um I think outside of that, I mean, we're I'm gonna try and take a few items to the uh to the free dump day and nice. Hopefully that goes smooth and fast. I've I've had it where a couple times I've got in and waited maybe five minutes, dumped all my stuff, and then just in and out.

SPEAKER_01 3:16

And you know, I don't know if you've ever done one of those, but normally it's a can turn into a huge I don't know if I was with you or with my dad one time I did it, but then one was really quick in the morning, and the second time was they can line up pretty far.

SPEAKER_00 3:29

And it seems like if you gotta take more than one truckload or trailer, whatever you're taking, uh you're that second one's always so much longer. But I got a couple appliances I need to take, a couple old lawnmower, and uh just some odds and ends of stuff that I'm like I don't I don't need this stuff anymore, so and it's not in a good condition to take to like a thrift store or anything like that. But right, um but yeah, um yeah, that's it's been it's been a pretty good week. So what about you?

SPEAKER_01 4:06

I'm gonna say this week that uh my cut was oozing probably more than I wanted it to, but it's probably healing very nicely, I assume. And uh it was fun navigating this week, driving and doing the lift gate deliveries with my arm. Good stuff there, and uh, we're gonna go with I was down on my hours, still don't get a donate, I'm still waiting, so I'm still a little bit of a Dibby Downer, a little bit of an Eeyore over here. Um but I did get to see my wife and kids early a couple of days, which so paychecks-wise stinks, but seeing family, it's always a plus. Um, and even if you get an hour or two off early, it seems almost like a mini vacation because you just don't know what to do with yourself. So it's an awesome time. Um, and uh yeah, so my week went 12, we'll say 12. It's always good, man.

SPEAKER_02 5:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 5:09

So we're gonna hop in, or you got something let's talk about. I was gonna ask, I don't remember bracket-wise, were we doing anything with tournament brackets? Or we're just posting ours up, right? I think we're just posting ours up. You guys can look at them. They should be up if you haven't checked them out. Check them out on our week after 23. It's gonna be a second. I mean, just kind of keep up to date with it, because it'll still be going. Okay. Thanks, Fred.

SPEAKER_01 5:42

Yeah, buddy.

SPEAKER_02 5:43

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

On this wonderful note, let's jump into our main topic, shall we? Yes. Last week we covered the first five amendments in the Bill of Rights, and this week we plan to cover the next five. These all are so important. And the reason why I say that is because our founders had the vision to give us these freedoms that we cling on to today. Like, just trying to think of like if I was in there, she was starting off a new new country, new place. Like, I know we could see some of the um similarities from the Constitution to the Bill of Rights and how some of the amendments were playing back and forth on each other. So I could see how some of them could definitely play into the uh uh Bill of Rights, but like just having the foresight to put that stuff in there to protect us 250 years later, you know. Like that's I'm thankful that God gave these men that vision. Definitely, yes. Yes. Um did you know that while generally well received, three states, just three states, did not immediately send their approval of the Bill of Rights to Congress until 1939. So I believe it was written in 719, sorry, wasn't it? 1779? 1799. 1781 when it was finally approved. Yep. Um, so these three states did not approve the Bill of Rights to Congress until 1939. That's kind of pathetic. In particular, these states were Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Georgia. Georgia's kind of oddball there. It was only after a century and a half that these states write in their approval, marking the time where the entire United States followed the Bill of Rights principles.

SPEAKER_00 7:54

Massachusetts doesn't really surprise me. That's why I'm saying Georgia was kind of Georgia does and then Connecticut. I feel like somehow in the New England states, Connecticut is always like one of the last that I ever think about. It's like right there next to North Island. See, I think of Rhode Island because it's so small. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean it's small. Yeah, it's so small I forget about it. Yeah. You'll have that.

SPEAKER_01 8:21

Okay. Let's jump in, shall we? Let's do it. Number six, yeah. Yeah. So in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed. Which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witness against him, to have compulse compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.

SPEAKER_00 8:59

Definitely another one of those uh addressing the complaints we had against the king. Yeah. Like, you're doing be detained or whatever and have a trial here and wherever you are, instead of hey, sell across the zone.

SPEAKER_01 9:20

Um question, I don't know if you know off the top of your head. Speedy trial, is that still a thing? Can I just say I want a speedy trial, like get this done over with?

SPEAKER_00 9:30

I think you I think obviously today a speedy trial is a lot faster. Any trial is faster than what they were getting back then, because they would have to sell back to England a lot of cases. But I think a speedy trial is I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 9:48

I feel like maybe they mean that with just very simple. Simple, like the like yeah, like parking ticks and all that stuff. Drum tang stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 9:59

But okay, let me ask you this. Cause I I've had this thought and I don't know because I partly because I got what is it called but not selected for jury duty. Like, I know there's ways you can stack the jury box. Like, what are your thoughts on that? On stacking it? Yeah, because it's it says in here that because they all go through a process of them by an impartial jury.

SPEAKER_01 10:27

Yeah. You know. I think it would be hard to stack it. I'm sure there are ways that you can get around it, sure. But I feel like they have to call, my understanding, they'll call a certain amount of people, and then from those people they'll pick each side will get like kind of like half to pick and choose.

SPEAKER_00 10:44

Um, for each side. Yeah, because like if I'm a lawyer, I can ask that somebody's removed the jury.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

Sure. No, it would be nice to. I mean, you just have to find somebody, or I don't know if then you would want to try to find somebody else who had a job and that's their job is picking these juries, because then they won't be, they won't know anything about the cases. Um, they won't know who's involved, defendant, claimant, whatever. Um, but then again, you're trusting that one person to do their job. Whereas if at least you're doing this and this, six on one side, six on the other, you're at least could break 50% if you're able to stack it some way, somehow.

SPEAKER_00 11:30

Because I guess, I mean, I guess, yeah, if I'm the plaintiff, I'm gonna want a jury in my favor, and I'm a defendant. Obviously, I'm gonna want, you know, it's supposed to be a jury of your peers. You know, so it's like, you know, hey, I work construction, none of these guys are construction workers, they're not gonna understand. Yeah, yeah. No, I can get that too.

SPEAKER_01 11:54

So I don't know. I that's sure kind of. It only takes one to have a hang jury, right? Yeah. So then they can retry again.

SPEAKER_00 12:04

Well, depending depending on the charge. I think the charge. Um, because some of them are obviously your your major crimes are going to recharge. Yeah. Yeah. So the defenses they're not gonna want to spend the time and money. Right. And it's almost like majority. I can't I can't remember. Two-thirds. I don't I don't remember what the number has to be, but majority of the jury um has to find them guilty or innocent, and then they'll go with that ruling, I believe, is how that works. Interesting. I need to watch more, like study law or watch more TV drama.

SPEAKER_01 12:46

Just give me eight more hours in the day and I'll do it. So um number seven. In suits at common law where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars. The right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law. I'm gonna look this up.

SPEAKER_00 13:15

I want to know the value of$20 back then compared to the value of$20 now.

SPEAKER_01 13:21

But that's it's not even a tank of gas, man. No. Um I'll just jump to number eight really quick, too. Um, excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Which, oh, I don't even know what to say on that one, honestly, because I feel like if somebody murdered somebody and did something bad, I feel like excessive bail is needed so they don't get out. Or they would just know bail is would be denied. It's not required. Oh. Okay. Sorry, so maybe I'm just not I'm not reading today. But so that's a I'm gonna guess it's probably a thousand dollars. Let me see here.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

No, that can't be right. 290% increase since then is what one of them. One of them's oh 97%. So$20. What would be like$40?

SPEAKER_01 14:42

Uh$20 divided. So a hundred dollar increase would be another twenty, right? Yeah. This is really bad for me.

SPEAKER_00 14:51

We're not good at math on this show, man. It's 97%. 97% increase. Like the dollar has lost 97% of its value compared to back then. So it's almost like it's almost 40 bucks now, right? That'd be like. But that would you would have to pay, yeah, or whatever. Anything over like 40 bucks to have the right to trial by jury. Yeah, I'm not going, I'm not getting a trial by jury for a speeding ticket.

SPEAKER_01 15:21

But um it still seems, I mean, in their day I'm sure it was great, but that seems really low, even by today's standard.

SPEAKER_00 15:31

Yeah. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments. That makes me think that's just that's an answer to what the King of England did tell us.

SPEAKER_01 15:43

What he was doing to the people. Yeah. Yeah. Number nine, the enumeration, so that's a catalog or list in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed, interpreted, or understood. To deny or disparage others retained by the people. Okay. Mm-hmm. Yep. And number 10, the last one of the Bill of Rights. And then there's actually how many amendments are they all together? I think there was like 21 or 22. Yeah. So we we have a little bit more we can browse through. Yep. But the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people. That'd be like your state level stuff, right? The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively or to the people.

unknown 16:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

So whatever's not delegated by the Constitution, so I would assume that the states and the people are supposed to be responsible for it. That's what I'm getting out of that one. Which comes back to your civic duty.

SPEAKER_00 17:12

Yeah. Well, and I know I talked about how the judicial branch is pretty messed up. And I think that maybe just highlight it and spotlight it on a federal level, maybe. I don't know. I think there's some judges that it it seems third-party looking in. They can just get in a rut. Just like any other job, you know, where you're just like spaced out or whatever. Oh, I've seen this case before. But I think that's something that I mean, I by all means do not have a desire to be a lawyer. I don't have a desire to be a judge. But I think that's where we need some good, strong um American patriots, if I can use the word patriot, um to be in there and like understand that their their job that that has an impact. And there's some judges that I've seen clips and stuff, um where they'll film their courtroom and everything. But you know, where it's like a judge that does give mercy to like a younger kid that made a mistake, you know, and I I think that's I don't know. I I I think that's kind of cool whenever a judge kind of does stuff like that, because you're like, Yeah, that kid, like you can you can kind of see in that kid's face, like, yeah, he knew he messed up. And then there's other cases where you see the kids no no remorse or anything, and they did a pretty heavy crime, and and you're just like, dude, I hope that kid figures it out, you know. And I don't know, I just think of it's easy to sit back and and bash you know any one of the three branches of government, but uh you know, getting involved doing our civic duty, but then also like you know, people are like, oh, the correction system doesn't work. Well, okay. So what am I doing to correct the correction system? Like, you know, as a Christian, am I going in there trying to spread the gospel, witness to people? Um I know I worked at a drug and alcohol rehab, and they started teaming up with a like the local prisons and stuff, and trying to change multiple offenders, and and you know, there's more to life than what you're doing. So I I don't know, I think of stuff like that, and I think I feel like I I'm at a point in my life where I'm like, I've I've sat back and criticized and critiqued a lot, and I think now it's time to where I just need to start putting my feet to it, doing more. Um and maybe that's why you can't run for office as like Paula president until you're over the age of 35, you know. I think it's 35. But because you just you just kind of sit back and look at the country and you're kinda like, uh, you know, there's some changes I'd like to see, but I don't know. I don't know if that's why. And obviously, our founding fathers found a reason.

SPEAKER_01 20:27

Yeah, I I mean when it comes to judicial system, that that movie I spoke about a couple weeks ago still just it always plays in my mind. Just um that and we always go for the Supreme Court, the biggest and the big brightest, like they can have an impact on your life or whatever with the ruling, and it's just like everybody just judge shops, and um and I'm not gonna say another one. Yeah, yeah, they want to fill the courts, and then you just you have somebody that's on there that can't even define a woman, and that's just so simple, but yet like why is that person a judge? Like what yeah, how are you interpreting the law if you can't even tell me what a woman is? Like and there's definitely, and you'll see it with them up there, there's definitely a line between what this paper says, and then I'm going to put my colored ink of impression on it with my political party and political views, and then do what I want out of it. And I just I don't know how that gets stopped. And I really wish it would, because it's not only that level, well, then you have all the different uh district judges, right? And it's just like you saw all the things that happen with um I'm gonna forget the date. January 6th. Oh, January 6th. Um, people, and they're all getting tried in DC at that level, and the judge was openly just making examples out of people the entire time. And it's just it's sad, man. And like they rarely have like they can have a lot of control on your life, if not control over your entire life, to put you away forever or not. Yep. And like I said, they can have their own rose-colored glasses.

SPEAKER_00 22:31

Well, and there's no ramifications. You know, if if a judge wrongfully puts a person in jail for let's just say even ten years, that's ten years of that person's life, they'll never get back. It's ten years of on their record, even if it gets expunged from the record because it's proven that they were innocent, nothing happens to that judge. Yep. You know, and it's like you just like I I I think that's mobility, man. That's why I'm saying I feel like some judges can get very complacent, they get very um, I don't want to say bot, because I don't know if that's true, but you hear that. Right. Um, I will definitely say they get influenced and persuaded. That's a good word, influence. Um whether it's a political party, whether it's a a group of people, whatever you want to imagine, somebody influences or persuades that judge to sign on their case, and as a result, they might rule in a non-just manner, and therefore somebody who is innocent has to suffer punishment, and then if it gets removed or whatever is sponged from the record because they were found innocent, well then that judge is just he goes on like nothing ever happened, nothing's on his record. You know, it doesn't say how many doesn't even remember the person. Yeah. It doesn't say like, well, this judge has, you know, we we do this with sports teams where a coach, you know, like, oh, his overall record's 43 and 10, and it's like, but we don't do that with judges, like, oh, he convicted 400 people, and 39 of them were actually innocent, you know. Like, I I feel like that that's something with the position you are in. I don't know. Maybe maybe I'm thinking we should keep stats on them. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 24:34

Yeah, I mean I think that that and I just feel like they should probably really statewise, you know, federally wise, why don't we put their names out there more? Why is it always people I I never know anybody when I'm voting for Iowa elections or here locally. So I just always vote no. Yeah, I vote them out just because it's I don't want complacency and I don't know who's getting in there.

SPEAKER_00 25:00

Yep. Well, and it's like uh realistically, the Supreme, I feel like the Supreme Court, whether it's your local level or federal, I feel like that should be a job that we don't hear a lot of because I feel like it's almost like it should be taken care of at the so to speak lower level judicial side of things, to where it's like, yeah, I easily this is these are the facts, and this is what the law states you're guilty or you're innocent, and then that should be that. But there are corruptions and there are things that are overlooked, or whatever, maybe a bad lawyer. And I mean, obviously, with all three branches, we have checks and balances, and I do agree that in our court system there should be a way to appeal, albeit I feel like that gets abused a little bit. But yeah, I am glad it's there because if it wasn't, then that would be, I think. I mean if we were in that position, yeah, that would be terrible. Yeah. Um because, like we were just saying, I mean, these are people's lives, but um, you know, you get some fresh out-of-college kid that doesn't know how a lawyer is way out of a paper bag, and yeah, that's who you get stuck with because then it becomes like your criminal record then becomes how much you can afford. And that's that's not justice. So but yeah, I just think you know, stepping back into that civic duty conversation of like I don't I don't want to be a judge by all means, I don't want to be a lawyer, quite frankly, for selfish reasons. I didn't want to be a juror, you know. I wanted to do it so that I can have something to talk more about on the show, as far as like, hey, this is a civic duty that everyone can do, and I mean when you get selected, but I just kind of the experience I think would be because when it comes to law, I feel like most Americans we we are not um knowledgeable in that, and then you know, depending on what pops up on your reels or whatever, your socials might determine what level you think you're at, but I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 27:19

It's I think I could probably be also being able to dumb down things as well. I mean, I wonder how many books it really is for just Iowa state law. Right. Um, you know, we hear about, and this is different, but bills that get passed that are thousands of pages long. I mean, I wonder what our laws are like, honestly. Um there's still some laws on the books that I mean I'm not saying it's Iowa, but like don't have a mustache on Sundays or stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 27:50

Like don't walk on the grass on the Capitol courtyard or you know, silly laws like that. If you go down to the Capitol, that library, I think you can look at the the books that are on the first floor, but the second you have to the second up to I think it's four floors, and a lot of those are like old cases and stuff that you can study out. A lot of the books in that library and should be Iowa law, but it's like in case law.

SPEAKER_01 28:22

That's another thing too. Just because this case said to do it this way, well then it has a precedent, right?

SPEAKER_00 28:27

Well, you can yeah, you can reference that and you know, throw another big controversial thing out here, but a lot of people Roe v. Wade, you know, they would they would throw that out there and be like, well, they're protected because Roe v. Wade, you know, and it's like I I we have laws and I I understand it does speed up the court process if I can just go, yeah, the the ruling on this case, which is very similar to this case, is why we should just bypass all this. And but at the same time, it's like that's not the case that we're on right now. Right. There's a reason why this case has a different name, there's it's different dates, it's a different evidence. Um I mean, what's science like from back then to now?

SPEAKER_01 29:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 29:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:25

So I don't know. It's to me, it's something that's that's it's it's interesting. I don't know if that's just me getting older or caring more. Um big old soft de you. Just no, just trying to man, I guess, make some change, because it's so crazy how And I think a lot of it has been that we're just like, you know, we're kind of in the spot, not maybe we, but I'm in the spot like, man, fix something already, but it's just like it's not gonna get fixed.

SPEAKER_01 29:55

I'm 33 years old, it's not gonna get fixed unless if I do it or people like me locally, we start from the bottom back up, it seems like.

SPEAKER_00 30:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 30:05

Sadly.

SPEAKER_00 30:06

Well, and that's yeah, because obviously, if if nobody's trying to change anything, then the people that are loosely representing us, then they're gonna think that everything's fine and they're doing everything that we want them to, and it's like if we make those local level changes, then I think the federal's gonna have to recognize that and make it'll affect those changes too. But oh no, man. We're just guys from Iowa, just dudes out here trying to trying to change the world. So, but let's get into our wild card, man. Let's do it. What amendment would you add that could help us out today?

SPEAKER_01 31:04

So, like what I would do is, and obviously they didn't have the foresight for this. I think they just thought that we would be able to have critical thinking in our day of age, and that just has really just dropped in the past like 10-15 years, right? So mine would either be stopping the transing of people. Um yeah, I don't think they would ever ever No, I don't think they would have thought that we would want to do that too, not only ourselves but our kids, sadly. Massacring and chopping up our children. Yep. Taking away their ability to have children. Um sad day. But also, kind of like Save Save Act voting requirements. I don't think that they ever thought that, wow, they would really want people that are non-citizens to vote in our elections. So it would probably be one or one or the other on that for me. Probably stop the trans. I feel like that's more important. I protecting my kids.

SPEAKER_00 32:06

I I definitely, yeah. Yeah, I could not imagine them having foresight to see that. Um but I think mine would be setting our not so much term limits, but like how I talked about before where you have to start in your local level and you serve, and then you can hit your federal. Um but you can jump into your federal, I guess, too, because I don't want it limited, because then you get the well, you didn't think you were gonna be a politician at seven, so you're not a politician ever in your life. But I I would have two as well, where you can only serve federally two terms, and then you have to step down to your local level, so that way you can stay in touch, then you can jump back after two terms. But like like I said before, they didn't even think about this as a career, you know. Um, the second thing would be um campaign funding limits. Like you think about it, we got salary caps and sports, we got just daily budgets for everything, but like if you want to run for an office, sky's the limit.

SPEAKER_01 33:27

Look up the uh Ken Paxton and John Cornyn um uh Senate stuff done in Texas. John Cornyn spent I think it's the most money, and it's just um primarying for the Republican side, and he only wanted by like one point, like just to waste that much money on something like that. Um don't don't vote John Cornyn. If you guys learned anything from today, don't go with John Cornyn. Go with Ken Paxton.

SPEAKER_00 33:56

It's just it's amazing how much money and and incumbents, it just it blows my mind because it's like you you're literally saying you're gonna do things better for that state, for the nation, whatever you want to slap on there, and it's like but you're taking hundreds of thousands, if not millions, just to try to get into that position, and it's like and then when you get there, at least for us, it seems you literally do nothing.

SPEAKER_01 34:38

Or lose your way and turn into a Republicrat.

SPEAKER_00 34:42

Yeah. Or you're too busy trying to get recognized by the president. Oh my goodness, they Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:53

Thanks to pr Donald Trump and his leadership, he's been able to do this. So you're piggybacking on him? Like, it doesn't sound like you're you're doing anything. Yes, I'm talking about you, Randy Feenstrump, but yeah, it's just pathetic, man.

SPEAKER_00 35:08

So the second question that we have in the wild card. Good job, good job. Yes. Uh what, RJ, in in light of yes last week's show, yes, what are three dog breeds that you like?

SPEAKER_01 35:27

So not necessarily that you have, but that you like. Of course, Cooper has a warm place in my heart, but he's he's a mutt, so and we still don't really technically know what he is, but um love him first and foremost, even though, man, he's so dumb. But if if I could pick three and I had the money for that cane corso really impressed me. I liked I liked them growing up, I really did. My my views had changed on them a little bit. I had like looked at Dalmatians, I really liked Dalmatians for a while and stuff, and they kind of fell off my radar, but after last week, yeah, it really impressed me. Um my second one is a Bernice mountain dog, which Fred talked about them a couple years back, and uh they grew on me, and I really like them. They're really pretty dogs. Um out of my price range, though. Oh, yeah. Probably just like the same course, though. And then the last one that has recently popped up on my radar that I like is uh don't slaughter me on this, but uh Bowseron B-E-A-U-C-E-R-O-N. It's a really pretty dog. Black and brown and white, and I don't know much about them, I just know it's a really pretty dog. So that's usually what gets me to look.

SPEAKER_00 36:52

Expensive. Yeah, very expensive dog.

SPEAKER_01 36:54

Yeah, so those are my top three. I mean, I could keep going on. I like German Shepherds, a good old lab. Man, those are some faithful, trustworthy dogs having a nice old family lab, like Shelby. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 37:11

But yeah, how about you, man? You got three? I do have three. Um, so my first one, uh I I like geeked out pretty hard on dogs and found a breed that it's a short, like it's uh the Nova Scotia duck troll, trolling retriever. Uh it looks, it's got like a red tint to it. It looks kind of like like a retriever, uh, Irish setter, setter, setter, setter, yes. Yeah, um, but it's shorter. So um yeah, I I thought about getting into one. We are getting one, we looked into it, it was way expensive, and like there's a two-year wait list. Um, yeah, obviously Nova Scotia, you know, that's where they're um originated from, and I they're just everything I've ever read about them and everything, they're they're very good with family, um very pricey dogs, but um, and then another dog would be the bulldog. Uh although it seems like if you if you you either love or hate bulldogs is what it sounds like. Um just their their little punched in face. Like those remind me of the uh purple minions off of uh yeah, when they go, yeah. But they remind me, they just look like grumpy old people. Yeah, like whatever they bargain so um, but they're just they're wrinkly and everything. I mean, they're they're a pretty cool dog, and uh definitely not a Georgia Bulldog fan or anything like that. Um but yeah, and then I put for the last one, um, maybe a short hair, German short hair. Um I just I don't know. I realistically, I would just like to like that dog who's gonna lay on the porch and just be real chill and laid back. Basically, a dog that's not crazy. I don't want to do anything, I just want to lay around. Kind of like the uh the two dogs on the Arista cats, you know. Where you're like, I ain't nothing but a little cricket, you know. Those kind of little hound dog. For some reason, I I want a hound. Um I mean, right now, um I don't want a hound in the city for any stretch, but it's kind of one of those dogs. But I I think I'm discovering I'm not really a dog person. I'm definitely not a cat person, but like um, I think I'd rather human interaction. You're gonna buy a human? Uh no, we just raise them. We we just raise them where I where I'm at, but um no, it's just one of those like maybe maybe when I'm old um kids are all moved out or something, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 40:23

I think I think for you guys it's finding the right one. For sure. Not just getting handed one, but like you guys finding the right one. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 40:33

Well, and yeah, life right now is I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 40:37

I don't know if it's really can like not right now for sure. Yeah, I get that. But I mean, it's like one of you guys just walked into it one day and it's just a perfect dog.

SPEAKER_00 40:46

But yeah, these are obviously, but yeah, that that little that you think of the southeast, just every redneck has that dog that yeah, that dog's been here since we moved in and we couldn't get rid of him, and he just lays up much hair and next to me on the porch, and yeah, just that good old dog.

SPEAKER_01 41:07

I'll be driving up around farms in Iowa, and it gets me every time. But like, I'll see this dog jet right out of the corner of my eye, run at my semi-trailer. So like I freak out and I'm like almost about to stop. I'm like, if I stop, they might actually try to run at my truck, so keep going. Yeah. But they're they're so nice, like 95% of the time, man.

SPEAKER_00 41:29

That's the thing, is I'd want a dog that like is good with people, but like we didn't have we don't have people over enough to to get a dog like acclimated to hey these these people are alright because my people are alright with them, you know. And yeah. Um yeah, I don't know. It's it's hard. I don't know, I guess I don't know what I'm doing enough to jump back into that right now. So but we'll uh we'll see. I don't know. It's not even it's not there. But those are definitely the two dog breeds would be basically that retriever and then a bulldog. And then just whatever. That old loyal dog. Yeah. As long as he's not like one of those doing an old chihuahua? Oh no, I hate chihuahuas, dude. They're my worst. My great-grandma always had chihuahuas, and like having a conversation with her was just I still remember Nikki to this day.

SPEAKER_01 42:39

Oh man, she left such an impression on me.

SPEAKER_00 42:45

Dude, I remember some of the snow days we'd let that dog out, and I'm like, this dog is not gonna do anything. The snow is like literally up to half that dog. I'm like yeah, but like I would say of all the dogs, my I would probably say my favorite family dog we had was Malcolm. Malcolm, he was like that was top nuts. That was the coolest dog, and he would like if I was laying on the couch or whatever, he would just come and like look at me, and then right on the floor like next to me. And I was like, that's the coolest thing a dog can do. It's just like, dude, I'm here. You know, if you want to pet me, I'm right here. If you don't, it's cool. If you want to throw the ball, you can. Yeah. But once you start, just yeah. Well, and he he would he would calm down. Yes. Whereas I think it was buddy would not. So but yeah, as a result, we my wife and I talked, and I'm like, I don't want to go like border collie. I'm not a I'm not a collie dude.

SPEAKER_01 43:55

But if I could find one just like if I could Bottle up Malcolm. Yeah. He was a good dog, man. Yeah. Yep. So all right, buddy. Anything else? No, man. Let's get out of here. Yeah. Thank you for listening to This Is Today's Show. Don't get to stand. Thank you.
