We catch up after a brutal snowstorm drive, a missed release, and another round of remote recording chaos that turns into a surprisingly good setup. Then we pivot back to the ranch where we try to find Nemo but end up with a new puppy instead. We talk the reality of running a dog sanctuary and feeling grateful and overwhelmed at the same time.

Welcome Back And Travel Chaos

SPEAKER_04

Hey everybody, welcome back to Site Design. I'm Mark D. I'm Mark. You sound a little better. Yeah. Audio quality-wise than the last time we talked.

SPEAKER_01

Uh, it's because I made it to my destination.

SPEAKER_04

You did. You did. It's been uh about a well, it's been like a week, really. Well, since we kind of talked at all, but uh yeah, since you were traveling. And uh well, let's kind of start there. The when we we talked on the pod, the trip was going well, and then it got a little snowy.

SPEAKER_01

Oh Jesus, yes. That was yeah. After I got off of uh excuse me, I-80 and hit the 84 uh for Ogden and stuff. Yeah, I ran into a hell of a snowstorm and ice and everything else with uh semis that uh like to slide off the road and other cars that like to slide off the road and uh shit. It was the worst drive I've had in 20, 25 years of driving. It was it was pretty bad. Yeah, that's what you were saying.

Family Visits And Baby Time

SPEAKER_04

That sounded awful, and that was like oh it was geez, and it was middle of the night. You know, you've been on the road for god, 20 something hours, right? 20 something hours, yeah. Yeah, brutal. But it sounds like, I mean, we have uh you know you've been I mean you're there to see families, you've been busy and doing stuff, and so have I over here, and so we haven't really had a chance to catch up. But sounds like you're having a blast up there.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, dude, it's been great. Uh yeah, it took me a few days of mellowing out to get over the drive and everything, but we've got to see the the great niece. Her name's Hazley. Uh God we I think I've seen her four or five times now. Got to hold her a few times. Nothing better than holding a little little baby. She was uh preemie. So that was great. They let you hold her. And then yesterday we what's that? They let you hold her. Yeah, they're not very bright. Yeah. Enjoy it until they catch you. Yeah, then yesterday we went up to uh Vancouver to see Koi, which is our son, and his wife and uh grandson Sterling. So we went up there and uh met them at a bowling alley and got the whole uh play with Sterling. You don't hold Sterling anymore, he'll be one here on the 19th. So you don't hold them anymore. He just sits there in his car in his uh stroller and eats his shoes. So yeah, yeah, he's a he's a big guy for a one-year-old. Oh, he is big. He's got a he's got a cousin that's a year older than he is, and Sterling is just like a half a head shorter than he is.

unknown

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

So he definitely takes care after our side of the family.

Missed Release And Remote Setup

SPEAKER_04

Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yep. Well, good. I mean, I'm glad it's I'm glad it's going well. Um it's things here have been good too. It was we've had some storms and stuff. Well, it was just a few days of storms. Um lot of well, actually, the last time that we I guess we could back up, right? Because we've talked about on the last episode uh how we were supposed to be, you know, all set to record remote, and then blah blah blah. Certain people, certain co-hosts that shall remain nameless, uh didn't do what they were supposed to do.

SPEAKER_01

Hold on, I'm the only frickin' chromostery.

SPEAKER_04

Jesus. I was hoping you couldn't do the math on that. Oh shit. Sorry. That's all right. Uh but uh yeah, so um we we missed we missed a release um for uh you know that was one of the reasons. Uh we did actually sit down um to record an episode. Um and we had we had some trouble getting it set up for the remote. Uh and then when we finally did, the massive freaking storm rolled in over here. It's like, oh god. Which, you know, people listening in their Manhattan apartments are like, was why why would that affect it? Um it's it fucks up the internet, okay, when it rains here.

SPEAKER_01

Uh considering we down there we run off of Starlink. Yeah. And when the storm rolls in, Starlink says, Fuck it.

SPEAKER_04

You know, uh, it actually doesn't, at least that's not been my experience. And um maybe you probably I don't know, maybe you haven't been here long enough. Or maybe did it do that in Washington when you had Starlink? If it rained stuff, it would have issues.

SPEAKER_01

Uh if it rained really, really hard, yeah. It would it would slow down. It wouldn't stop, but yeah, it would slow it down.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. I I'm actually really impressed with how it doesn't really impact it much. The problem I have specifically is not the Starlink, it's the fucking laser beams that I have between the barn and the house, right? The high tech shit. Well, it's yeah, it's uh unfortunately it has to be high tech because of the situation. But yeah, I mean that's the biggest problem, is like it when it rained because it's line of sight, and so when you know, you get that I I reckon that laser beam stuff bounces off of water drops. So that's that's your scientific explanation. Uh but no, I do like it.

SPEAKER_01

I can understand that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

But yeah, I I have noticed that that it's usually not the internet per se, it's just the connection between the barn and the house. And then, you know, my things are when when things are really bad, my channel starts going out too.

SPEAKER_01

Oh shit, that sucks for you. You only have one channel.

SPEAKER_04

I know. Uh yeah. Uh God, what was it? Oh, anyway, veered off the point of it. No, no, no. So we did we did miss our uh episode release. Uh apologize to listeners. Uh it's one thing that we from the beginning we really want to commit to being very consistent about it. Uh even in some cases when we don't have any good content or anything to talk about.

SPEAKER_01

But yeah, just get something out there.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Uh, but we did miss that one. And I think I mean we've been going here for a couple minutes, a few minutes on this one with with our remote setup, and it's I think it's gonna work, so it's good.

SPEAKER_01

Well, that's good. Well, we can just play the last one on technical difficulties called Mark.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah. It's only technical difficulties. That's the way it's gonna go anyway.

SPEAKER_02

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

I got broad shoulders. Go ahead, lay it on me. Yeah, oh god, I remember last time I said that. Not that, not that.

Wind Forecast And Drone Check

SPEAKER_04

Oh gosh. Speaking of storms though, um, we're gonna find out tomorrow how well you tie down shit at your place. Uh, because it's gonna get a little windy here.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04

Forty to fifty miles an hour.

SPEAKER_01

No shit. Well, then I'll probably have to go pick it up out of your your property, your side of the road.

SPEAKER_04

Oh god, that would be my that would be my luck, is like uh you you fuck it up over there, and it's like, you know what? It's his problem, he left town, oh my god. And then it I don't have to worry about it, right? And then the thing can just like pick up fly in the air and just come crashing down on my house. I'm like, God dang it.

SPEAKER_01

I you know, I don't really worry about that. It's it's my uh my vents on the little trailer I worry about, the tote and lid. Yeah, that's gonna be interesting.

SPEAKER_04

I will say that um I haven't I haven't been over to your place since you left, but uh get to utility trailer like the day after you left. But yeah, well that except well and I have back over there, but the other day when we tried to record and that storm rolled in, and we just talked about like it was really fucking windy, so I did, I thought I would you know get off my ass and go into my office and get the drone and fly the drone over and check on your place. Uh I appreciate that. Yeah, specifically your uh your redneck vent cover things, and they were there.

SPEAKER_01

So well, they're they're pretty heavy rocks. It took me a little bit to get them up there.

Flooding Stories And Warning Labels

SPEAKER_04

I'm pulled those down. I know exactly how heavy they are because you stole two of my big flat rocks. Well, I cannot confirm nor deny. I can confirm it. But that being said, uh the wind that we're gonna get tomorrow is gonna be a lot worse. So yeah, I'll I'll check on it. I'll send the drone over at some point. I appreciate that. The good news is that there's well, yeah. The good news is that uh there's no rain in the forecast for like the next week at least. Um maybe some tomorrow, like isolated, but so if it does, you know, if it does blow off or whatever, I don't think you gotta worry about rain. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, okay. That's good. That's good.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, one of the one of the people up here in the little town that we used to live in, sober like tootle area, he emptied his rain gauge on Wednesday afternoon about 10 o'clock in the morning. And as of yesterday, they'd had six inches of rain.

SPEAKER_04

Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the everything's flooding. There was a landslide on uh I-5 that blocked all the lanes. They got two of them back open, just and then stupid ass people in jacked up trucks going through, you know, water over roadway, and one of these guys that unlifted Ford went through it and it was clear up to his doors, and all of a sudden they were having to do a rescue to get his dumb ass off of his hood. Yeah, holy sh you know, stupid people doing stupid things.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I know. That's the the annoying thing. I mean, what what the worst part about it is just it puts first responders in danger, they don't need to be in.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. Um you just take off all the warning labels and then let you know let stuff happen. We'll we'll thin them out. Sure.

Rain Totals And Burrito Detours

SPEAKER_04

God, I was gonna I was gonna take a dig at you, but I think it was a little little little below the belt. So uh what you're holding back for once. Alright, so uh yeah, how do you think you'd fare, buddy, if we got rid of those warning labels and shit? Um, I would be a statistic. Correct. At least I can admit it. It would be just a mark on somebody's spreadsheet. Yep. Shit. Not even a check mark. No, just a mark. Um art. Uh Jesus Christ. I was gonna say something. Warning. Oh, driving things, yeah. Um, yeah, no, rain gauge. The well, no, when I talked to you the other day, uh you know, uh you'd asked about the rain because it was fixing to come in right before you left, and I was like, Yeah, you know, it's like it's been it's been rainy and shit, but we had only gotten like an inch, right? When I talked to you. Yeah. Well, that storm that rolled in when we tried to record, which by the way, it was supposed to be done. Like there was this whole front this whole storm front that rolled through and supposed to be done. Uh although Max, the weather guy on my channel, he said he did say, he's like, I I'm kind of I'm kind of concerned this might be backbuilding, that it could like there something behind this front. I'm like, what that doesn't happen. Whew, that happened. But that uh it was fucking coming down, dude. And it I mean it only lasted for like a couple hours, but it was like almost three inches. Oh wow, in a couple hours, yeah. I know, and uh I had to go to town, which was fine because I'm not an idiot in a big jacked up truck, I'm just an idiot in a four-wheel drive truck who knows how to drive slow. And what I was fine, it was fine.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, no water over the roadway or anything?

SPEAKER_04

Uh god damn it. The fucking burrito run from hell. Oh you had to bring that up. Oh really? Wait, is that not what you're talking about?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, when when you and Mike went for the burrito run and you couldn't make it to the burritos.

SPEAKER_04

No, we made it.

SPEAKER_01

But oh did Oh, okay. I thought you didn't make it.

SPEAKER_04

Well, yeah, the main highway was shut down because it was well, whatever. That's a whole thing. I wasn't I wasn't not a happy camper that day. We we did find an alternate route to the burrito, thank god. Uh but oh yeah. Um no, it was like it was fine. Like the road was fine. Like uh I didn't even I I mean I won't I got on the road just pretty much right after it stopped raining. Didn't need four-wheel drive even well that's good. Well thank you. I think it's good too. This is quite a show we got going here today.

A New Puppy Appears

SPEAKER_01

It is. Um, so I got a question.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

You sent me a video of uh dog the other day.

SPEAKER_04

Anytime anytime anybody in my contacts list says, so you sent me a video. I'm like, oh god, what did I ex what did I do by accident? Okay, I got I didn't even hear what you said because all I heard you I had just heard that you didn't say it was a dick pic, so I was relieved. So what do you say?

SPEAKER_01

Or he looked pretty old. Are you I didn't I only got like a five-second video? Which what which one did you get? The one where he was behind like the either the barbecue or the black stone. Oh, and then Bailey was trying to get in the way.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, okay. So, and then I guess I didn't actually give you any context, right? Or follow up or answer you. Why even ask? Oh, well, you know what? I'm sure you did. And whatever. I'm the red-headed step friend. Yeah. I'm not good at texting. You know this. I know. Although my mom t tells me that, and I got I got a good story about that, where it was like in your face. Uh, to my mom, but hold on. I'm gonna send you a video, uh, another one. You thought this you thought this was a big dog, okay? Is that what you're saying?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I didn't think it was a big dog, but it looked like it was an older dog. Oh I couldn't tell because he was kind of stuck in the back there, like, leave me alone.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, okay. I mean, I I get what you're getting at. Um, yes, you were like really not up to speed. Alright. Um, I'm gonna send you this video. Which you're gonna watch on your phone.

SPEAKER_01

I actually already have my phone in my hand waiting for it. Uh I mean, okay.

SPEAKER_04

So many when you s when you when you do a setup, when you when you do such a good setup like that, it's like so many jokes, like they all collide in my brain and they explode into a vapor. Like, so I'm just like, oh god, that one was so good. And so it's it's coming, you know, it's gonna work its way through the laser beams into space. And then I don't know, do you have Starlink where you're at right now, too?

SPEAKER_01

Uh no, uh Josh, our oldest son has uh I think it's Xfinity.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, so it's gonna be the getting from here to the barn to space. That's the thing that's gonna take a second. So uh anyhoot, yeah. Oh well we're not gonna sit here and not talk or anything, but I'll uh we'll wait until you see the video until we resume the previous subject of this dog. This new dog, the new puppy. It's got a name yet? Yes.

SPEAKER_01

I mean yes. What is it? Anything good or anything we can say on air?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, well, uh I feel like you need to see the video before we really get into it, because like we're not on the same page about what's going on right now. Umce you get it, you'll see that it's not an older dog. Oh my god. Why don't you explain the video while you're watching it or whatever?

SPEAKER_01

Well, so far it it hasn't really opened a video video, but I got a picture of Hartley with this little bitty puppy. Yes. He's got the German Shepherd look.

SPEAKER_04

You think so?

SPEAKER_01

Well, the the brown on the paws and stuff. Come on, video fucking load.

SPEAKER_04

Man, you are so good at technology. I'm old. But they've dumbed it all down for you. It's like it's a it's an iPhone.

SPEAKER_01

Well yeah, but it for some stupid F and reason it doesn't hold.

unknown

God damn.

SPEAKER_01

I hate the iPhone. I might go back to Android. You can't handle the Android bud. Dude, last time I tried to turn on an Android phone, it took me two hours to frickin' shut the shit off.

SPEAKER_04

Last time you tried. Let's let me let me walk through that sentence. It was a few weeks ago. Hold on, let me walk through that sentence. Last you said last time I tried to turn on an Android phone, it took me two hours to get it turned off. What the fuck does that mean?

SPEAKER_01

I couldn't find the power button. That's what that means. I couldn't figure out how how to slide to whatever direction to turn the damn thing off.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, so but you said you couldn't figure out how to turn it on, and it took you two hours to figure out how to turn it. Okay, never mind. So you were trying to turn it off. Yes. Okay. Thanks.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. And even though I switch it to frickin' Wi-Fi, it goes back to frickin' LTE.

unknown

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, excuse me. I know. Oh my gosh. Why am I hearing that? Oh, there it is. Okay. Oh my god, he is so cute. He is so cute. Hartley's like, what the hell? I'm supposed to be the youngest and littlest one. Mm-hmm. Oh my goodness. You know, people have figured out that you have a dog rescue, and so now they're just dropping off dogs.

SPEAKER_04

I'm telling.

unknown

Oh my god, look at it.

SPEAKER_04

I mean, something like that, or like my dogs are out putting signs on the highway or something.

SPEAKER_01

Lucky. Lucky's got that look. Get the fuck away from me. Oh my goodness. Okay, I watched the video.

SPEAKER_04

So would you not would you describe it as uh uh a teeny tiny itty bitty very young puppy?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, I would. I would say he was probably barely eight weeks old.

Breed Guesses And Vet Reality

SPEAKER_04

I was yeah, I was thinking like eight to ten, probably. Um yeah, yeah, uh so 20 minutes later. Back to your question. Uh you want yeah, got a new puppy. Yeah. Um it's a puppy. And what what did you say? You think so now you've seen a video. Do you think he's German Shepherd still, or what are you thinking?

SPEAKER_01

I still think he's got part German Shepherd in the world. Oh yellow, I you're getting testy. If I yell you'd know it. That takes me back. Oh my gosh. I'm watching that video again. Yep, I think he's got some German Shepherd in him.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But the longer the longer body though.

SPEAKER_04

It's not you think he has a long body?

SPEAKER_01

Well, just I mean, I don't know what do you know. Oh my gosh, he's so cute.

SPEAKER_04

Are we talking about the puppy still?

SPEAKER_01

Or long body? For podcast sake, yes, we're still talking about the puppy.

SPEAKER_04

No, so here and my here's my thing though. If you Hartley has a long body. Like Hartley is a long dog. He's very like, you know, lanky and stuff. This dog puppy, he feels more like he just looks, you know, not as long. Girthy. But I mean, he obviously he's not as long as Hartley because he's a puppy, but I'm saying relatively speaking. Right. But no, I just sent you another one. And bear in mind you're still on a podcast.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Oh, thank God it's not a dick pig.

SPEAKER_04

Have I ever accidentally sent you anything like that?

SPEAKER_01

No, you haven't, thank goodness.

SPEAKER_04

Statistically, it's incredible.

SPEAKER_01

I would start sending you pussy picks. You start sending me a dick pig.

unknown

Oh god.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I would I would probably throw my phone like just reflexively like so. Yeah, in this other video, you get I think you get a much better like look at him. Um at least his markings and stuff, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. I don't I mean, I don't know the German Shepherd thing, because I feel like Hartley's I feel like Hartley is like his snout shape and all that stuff is more in line with what I would expect for German Shepherd, but whatever. Right. Like this puppy, like just coloring and stuff. First thing occurred to me was Rottweiler, but I don't think I know anything about Rottweilers, so that may be not true.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, well those markings on his chest when he's looking at you, that is cool as hell.

SPEAKER_04

Isn't it crazy? It's weird, right? It's like uh he's got like a plu like uh like a strip, like a plus sign, a big plus sign, like a white stripe down his chest and tummy, and then it goes across his shoulders, but then inside that there's another little plus, like a black one. It's weird. I've never seen it just like that.

SPEAKER_01

I never have either. Well, I guess when you take him to the vet, we'll figure out what the hell he is.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Great. Or or we can start getting DNA tests for the dogs to figure out what the hell they are.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, that's a great fucking idea. Also, let's see here. Um carry the three. Yeah, no, I'm beyond broke now. Thanks. Yeah, no, you do two beyond broke. Okay, I like how you said that. You just like, yeah, what are you taking the vet? And I'm just like, oh god. I mean, of course I'd thought of it, but I'm just like, fuck. There's another$85 down the pooper.

SPEAKER_01

Um, that's not bad, because up here it's like$600 to get your damn dog neutered.

Disconnects And The Corner Poll

SPEAKER_04

I well, yeah, I know. No, I mean, I was just talking for the exam and the puppy shots and and the neuter. Well, something's an I don't fucking remember, but point being it's another fucking goddamn, I'm not doing this dog rest. I'm not selling it very well. Point being, it's another puppy, and I could not be more excited about it. And you know, they say life's not all puppies and rainbows, but I can tell you what, it is mostly puppies and rainbows. I can't even keep it up. I almost made myself gag. Oh, yeah, it's another fucking dog. And Mark's gone.

SPEAKER_02

Great.

SPEAKER_01

Now he's connected. Yeah. Okay, there you are.

SPEAKER_04

Who are you talking to?

SPEAKER_01

I was just talking to myself. I didn't want any dead air. You know, there's a whole shitload between my ears, but other than that.

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_04

SPEAKER_04

We never talked about uh if we have veto power over certain things, but I'm getting damn close to where we're gonna have to have a board meeting about because the baby in the corner thing. And I'm telling you what, I think you're doing it to yourself because I think you're I think you're doing yourself a disservice. I think you're overusing it. It's not gonna be funny anymore. It was funny.

SPEAKER_01

Well, let's put a vote thing on on our social medias and see whether I'm overusing it or not, or whether I'm just using it to fuck with you. Okay. Let's do that.

And so, you know, it just set up set everything in motion, you know, because then you gotta okay, what are we gonna do for the crate? But you know, whole thing. So I just ended up ended up being an all-nighter and kind of an all-dayer. So I've been all kind of out of whack since then. But um, yeah, he uh anyway, the I think it was that very morning, just a few hours after he got in here, I'd sent the videos to to Rob, and he was like he was like, you should name him Buckwheat. I said that's I was like, that's actually cute. I said, um maybe not super appropriate though. Um well no. What I actually said was um how about we like uh we'll split the difference and we'll call him Bucky. He's like Bucky, yeah, that's a cool name, Bucky. Uh and so we decided to name him Bucky. And at some point I forgot that. Let's start calling him Buckley. So he's Buckley. He's Buckley.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Buckley Bucky.

SPEAKER_04

Bucky. I mean Bucky's a cool name.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it is. Yeah, yeah, that would have been a solid nine. Thanks. I mean, I'm here for you, buddy.

SPEAKER_04

I'm here for you. Yeah, and then uh well, what do you think about uh buckwheat? Where where would you rate that?

SPEAKER_01

Buckwheat? Yeah. Um I would probably give that a good ten. Okay. I mean because I remember the little rascals when they were black and in black and white, and then you had Eddie Murphy that did buckwheat on uh SNL many, many years ago. So it's funny. It's funny to me, but I humor my humor is not everybody else's humor.

SPEAKER_04

I know.

SPEAKER_01

No shit. Especially yours sometimes.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I'm glad I don't know. I'm glad I was worried where that was gonna go there for a second because you're like, you know, back in the day, um bugwheat, the black, and then you're like black and white. I'm like, oh thank god it was just black. I don't know. He said black and white, but you there's a little pause there, and I'm like, oh god, is this the day that we get canceled?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we've missed an episode and we're gonna get canceled, son of a bitch.

How The Dog Pack Stays Peaceful

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, we'll just fucking burn the place down on the way out. Oh shit, yeah, so it's a little buckly. Um and yeah, I think you did say when I say in the video, like, you know, you're like, I need to stop leaving because that's every time I leave another dog shows up. And uh yeah, you're correct. So I don't know if it's that, if it's you leaving, but if it is, then you're never leaving again.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Okay, I won't leave again for a little while.

SPEAKER_04

Just I'm like the worst dog rescuer ever, right? I'm like the worst dog rescuer. I'm just like, oh god, another dog for the dog sanctuary.

SPEAKER_01

Uh yeah, you're a dog sanctuary. They like when your mom was up and and we had her on, they this is where they get to spend the rest of their life being loved and enjoyed and everything else like that. You're not like a dog rescue that says, Oh shit, now I gotta find them another home. You're like, oh shit, this one's a puppy. I've got 14 years. Yeah, I know. Exactly.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

It's like, I mean, hey man, I I I left my career and I spent a good chunk of my money to buy the ranch and do this to have a dog sanctuary, and that's the thing. And every time I get into the dog, I'm like, oh fuck.

SPEAKER_02

Really?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

But I mean all the dogs are healthy and happy, and they the funny thing to me is they all get along. Oh, yeah there's no issues, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Never has been. They're such a they're such a good pack.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. And and you know, it's like that's one that's one really cool thing. It's been cool to watch um evolve. Is it uh you know, we had when we moved here, we had four dogs, uh Oakley Milo, Finley, and then my ex's dog, uh Evie. But I mean we lived in the city, we had these four dogs, and so the first dogs that we rescued when we got here were Lola and Bailey. And I mean they were and you know, kind of like Kismen, I think, maybe thinking back on it, because they were s they were legit sisters, same litter. Um they're about two years old. And because they were sisters, I mean they got along great and they kind of set the tone, I think, around here. And then Callie was the next one we rescued, and and so what I'm getting at is like they come in they come into a pack that's not gonna put up with any shit. I mean, it's like we're gonna we're gonna be friends or we're gonna look out for each other, we're gonna be, you know, we're gonna be cool. And so there's never been an issue with any of them. And I I and I think that's you know, I think it's the dog, but then also the environment, right? It works both ways, and I think coming into this environment uh with this pack, like they feel safe, they feel um at peace, they feel secure, and uh, I think that just you know, they when they get here, they're like, Yep, uh, it's home.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, definitely. It's home.

SPEAKER_04

Yep. It's kind of like when you go here. I agree with that.

unknown

No.

SPEAKER_04

No, I mean, I'm glad you said it. I'm glad I I appreciate you saying that too. I take it, I take it as a compliment.

SPEAKER_01

Um and that's what it's meant as a compliment.

SPEAKER_04

Thank you. Yeah, and you know, my thing, it's like it's a lot of work. Like, you know, it's a lot of work and it's a lot of cost, and it's a lot of emotional energy, physical energy, mental, all this stuff. And so it's like my brain, because well, I think this is not so much ADD thing, probably more of the autistic thing. So like my brain typically when something happens unexpected, my brain goes to logic first, and then emotion, right? Which is great for being good in a firefight, right? Like dog gets hit by a car, dog gets attacked, whatever, and you just need to handle it. It's great for that. But uh but then the other side of it is like whereas most people would see this poor little crying puppy, like, oh my god. I'm just like, oh god, really? Did you have a fucking crate, I guess? No. And you're gone. Where's the fucking mark button? There it is. Okay, you're back.

SPEAKER_01

Can you hear me?

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, we're back.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, all right. Um, yeah, we need we need a little bit more, so. Um Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know how much we had in.

SPEAKER_04

Not enough. There we go.

SPEAKER_01

Just a tip.

SPEAKER_04

Mm-hmm. Okay, now we're recording again. Uh-huh. Um where we left off. Where did I stop?

SPEAKER_01

We're talking about the ranch and and the dogs having such a great home. Yeah. Uh with another added body four-legged furry friend there.

SPEAKER_02

Mm-hmm.

Finding Nemo And The Audio Plan

SPEAKER_04

So oh boy. No. Oh, yeah, I mean, it's great. You know what, uh, you know, I'm I'm good. Uh every i uh y you it was a little different, I think, when Harley came, because you guys pretty much like you guys uh came like a few days later, like moved here. Yes. And so like it Harley basically came when you guys came. Um and so it was a little different, but and so that's something I don't think you maybe know, maybe you've talked about, I don't know, but you just you haven't seen, is every time I bring in a rescue, I kinda go through a little funk. Cause yeah, I'm happy about it, it warms my heart, but it really it's I I go through a little thing where I'm like, I can't handle you know, it's too much, but you know what I'm saying? Right, right. And you know, it does suck. And so I don't want to get into that whole thing right now, uh, especially since we're toward the end of the show. But anywho, it's really cool. Like, you know, God bless little Buckley. I'm glad I'm glad he found a home here. He will be happy and just living his best life. Yes, he will. Um, before we well, just to change subjects for no reason at all. Sure. Except I want to. I started watching Finy Nemo.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you sent me a thing that said that with the commentary on it. How are you doing with it?

SPEAKER_04

Uh I haven't gotten any further than I think I was about halfway. Um so did you listen to that audio? Yes, I did. Do you do you think that that It was almost like it was forced?

SPEAKER_01

The watching? Yeah. It was.

SPEAKER_04

At least on do you think do you think uh that parts of it or something, that audio or portion of it would we should play on on the thing. Or when I finish the movie, I think we should incorporate some of that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I think it'd be great. I think everybody would get a blast uh kick out of it.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, so I'm trudging my way through Cindy. I'm fucking on. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well, and as a matter of fact, we're going up there, I believe, either Monday or Tuesday. We're headed up to Dino and Cindy's house.

SPEAKER_04

So great. You can play her that you can play her that clip. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah, he she will. She will. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Well, uh, yeah, I guess stay tuned next time, folks. See how we how we like finding Nemo.

SPEAKER_01

Or if you got through finding Nemo.

SPEAKER_04

I will get through it. Um I have a question though about the movies, I guess. Is there like a thing where you can set them to go like two two speed? Like you can on audio.

SPEAKER_01

You know, on some some streaming services you can set them to go at a faster speed, but I don't know what are you watching it on Disney or Yeah. I don't know if there is or not. Okay. I will ask my grandkids.

Copyright Worries And Jazz Backtrack

SPEAKER_04

No, it's it was mostly a joke because I'm committed to it, you know. I'm gonna do it. Um I am doing it, I'm doing it right. Um I'm not gonna cheat. Uh oh, and by the way, I don't know if you noticed in the background what sounded a little bit like porn music, you know, from the set like burn darm. Did you notice that? Yeah. Uh

SPEAKER_01

I didn't want to say anything.

SPEAKER_04

Well, I don't believe you. I think you were just saving it. But No, I was gonna do I was gonna tell you what it actually was is uh I had in order to hear the movie, uh, you know, I had to have it up loud enough to where it was getting picked up a a little bit on the microphone. 'Cause I was using a lapel mic, but I was still picking up. And like I was I was worried if we were gonna use the audio or at any point on the podcast, like I didn't want it to get copyright knocked down, you know. Because they do they do that. You know, they do that like Yes, they monetize you. Well no, I wish they'd monetize me. No, their AI thing spins through all the audio and looks for stuff like that. And so I went Yeah, so if they hear like if we were to play um you know, like the Beyonce halftime Super Bowl show on this, they would they'd and they'd know it and they knock it down the video down or whatever. Um so anyhoot I went and I went and found like a really long like uh jazz, you know, license free, royalty-free music. And it's just I have it as a backtrack really low level just to wash out uh the movie sound. That's why it sounds like porn.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Well, I'm glad to know now.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Uh I I sure hope you weren't watching porn while watching Nemo.

SPEAKER_04

Well, you know what? Here's what I'll say about it is I would hope that you would hope that I would have better taste in porn so as to not watch porn that had porny music.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, the the 70s boom chicka bow.

Cleanfeed Talk And Wrapping Up

SPEAKER_04

Yes, exactly. And on that note of aspiring to better porn. Uh this is the end of the show, bud. Already? Yeah, already. Uh that one was forced because it's this has been usually because I mean we shoot for 40 minutes and our recordings take usually 40 minutes. Uh it takes as long as the show is. This is been like two and a half hours, right?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, with the tech technical difficulties and trying to get everything. I'm glad you found this new uh clean feed. It it works pretty good. I mean it it's dropped a couple times, but other than that, it it's a hell of a lot easier for me to use.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah, I mean it's um yeah, and I wondered I I'm not sure what the dropping is about. It's it could be you know, it could be some something on my end, but yeah, clean feed, uh clean feed TM. Uh yeah, if the if you're all listening over there at the clean feed HQ. You want to sponsor us, yeah. That's that'd be fine. Just or just send me a send us a bag of puppy food with a clean feed sticker on it. I talk about you for a whole episode, clean feed.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Clean feed. Clean feed.

SPEAKER_04

Yeah. Uh now people probably thinking that we're doing it, like we're actually plugging it. No, no, no. It it is this is the first time I've ever used it. I I had heard um I have a sh uh a show that I listen to that um they do a daily uh live show and they've just mentioned I've just heard them mention clean feed. I don't like that. If they're using it for a live radio production show, like it's probably good. So we gave it a shot and it'll it's nice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it is very nice. I I like it. I'll let I'll let them know. Yeah, yeah. Would you would you do that for me, please?
