Joe's Dog Marshall Interrupts the Podcast

Marshall's trying to say hi to you. Hey buddy. Hey buddy. I didn't even notice he got up. That's alright. He's my best friend now. Marshall's everybody's best friend. How dare you Marshall? Yeah he's a home. Yeah that, that, I forgot where we were. Well sorry, you were talking about how intersectional. I got distracted by Marshall. Oh. Yeah. Hi Marshall, come here. I just don't want him to get in the waters. No I know. I just like went in. Hey buddy. You can play. You want to lie down? Yeah I just don't want him to get in the way. So you were saying that you realize that everybody has their problems. It doesn't matter if you're black or white. Yeah. I really learned a lot. Those women, it was run by lesbians. They like taught me some shit that stuck with me my whole life. Like cluttered room, cluttered mind. I loved that one. It was basically like they were very strict. But what happened was I learned how to be a really crafty drug addict. So I was like, well as long as my room is clean, I don't have a problem. Because I came to LA at 19 or 20 I guess. And this was like 2000. And I started interning at this website called Buddy Head. It was like this old music website and they were all punk and they had the number one gossip site for music in town at the time. And everybody was obsessed with this website. And I'm feeling merciless, a distraction here. He seems a little restless. Buddy, come here. Come here, pal. He's so cute though. I can't bear to kick him out. Come on. Come on. Say hi to people. Hi. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the sweetest dog in the world. Seriously. You've been asking for him to be on the show forever. He'll do the rounds. He'll go to you. Hi, what are you doing in here? He'll go to you, who'll get Pat, then he'll go to Jamie, who'll get Pat. But I just don't want him to interrupt the conversation. No. It's a little bit of a distraction. That's fine. I'm all over the place. And I don't want him to yank any wires out either. Hey, he's going to Jamie now. Told you. Doing the rounds. That's what he does. There's such like love sluts. It's amazing. Golden's are love sponges. So is my boxer. She'll go sleep from one bed to another to another. She gets all the love. Well, he doesn't, he's not allowed to sleep in beds. Yeah. It's smart. But he's, he's very loved. I've never had a dog like that before. They're just so different than any other dog I've ever had. Because it's just, he's just a constant friendly lover. You know, he never gets annoyed with you. He never wants to go lie down, but he's always happy when you say hi to him. Yeah. Just start talking as a real threats waggon. Just like pure unconditional. Yeah. I mean, it's crazy that those used to be wolves. I know. And they turned them into this thing. I know. They domesticated themselves. Over thousands of years. Sort of. Didn't they? Yes. Was it like a mutual thing? Well, initially, but you know, there was actually a display going on right now that I went to last weekend at the, what's that science museum in LA? What is it called? The California Science thing, the one downtown kind of thing. Yeah, it's downtown. The one next to the arena, the football arena. I think it's the California Science Center. Whatever it is. It's, there's a whole thing on dogs. Okay. And it's a whole thing on, there's one of them. It shows how dogs became dogs from wolves and the slow process of their ears starting to droop and then those as their snout starting to get short and they became smaller. And I mean, every animal, and this is something that they didn't realize, I don't think until like the last couple of decades, for the longest time, they thought that wolves were wolves and dogs were a mixture of wild dogs and cannons and all these different animals. Right. And they realized, oh no, these are all wolves. Wow. Like a fucking chihuahua is a wolf. I just have such a hard time believing that. It's hard to believe. It doesn't make any sense. That's like saying a Prius is a car. I just have a chat. Right, a Prius came from a Corvette. I just can't. It doesn't make any sense. No. That's true though. It is true. They found out that somehow or another human beings manipulated, you know, through selective breeding, they took a wolf and turned it into like an English bulldog. It's crazy. But I love them. So strange. Yeah, just let him out. Just let him out because he probably, he might have to pee or something like that and he wants to go talk to, he's going to the door because he wants to go get love from everybody else too. All the security guys. Fucking cutest dog of all time. He's so cute. They're so good to have around. Oh yeah. He's like, whenever you feel bad, you just go to him and just, he just gives you love and kisses. Their presence is huge for things that are pretty silent for the most part. When my dog is boarded or whatever. I feel like there's this giant presence that's gone. Well, you know what it is though? It's like emotional candy. You shouldn't have candy all the time and you should have people in your life. You shouldn't just be one of those fucking weirdo dog people. I don't even like people that just like dogs. I'm just like candy. I don't even like food. Fuck vitamins. They just eat candy. You know, there's people that are like that. Oh, I don't go to dog parks because of that. Oh, it's so true, right? The dog park scene in LA is psychotic. And there's always someone with a dog that can't control. That's been me before too. When I was, one of my dogs, one of my pit bulls was a puppy. He was like five months old, maybe six. I would open up the door. He would run to find the first dog. You could find him and bite him in the face. What the fuck bro? I had never had a dog like that before. I didn't know how to handle it. I didn't know that like, okay, you can't, this is a male dog with his balls and he's five, six months old. You literally can't bring them around with dogs unless you like have them rigorously trained. Yeah. And it needs to be rigorous, like shock collar. Yeah. And someone has to show you how to do it correctly. Yeah. The dog, after seeing two attacks in a dog park, I was like, okay. Yeah. No, it's just people bring fucking crazy dogs at dog parks. Yeah. And I treat my dog. I mean, there's some leniency, but I'm very much like it's a dog. I'm not one of the like, let's trust it in sweaters and have a birthday party for it. I'm like, no, no. I said, we're not having a birthday party for my dog. Birthday party. We're not putting any kind of Halloween costume on this patch. My kids do all that shit to Marshall. They do all that shit to him. You know, they dressed him up like a fish the other day. They got him a fish costume. I'm like, fuck, he's a fish. I'm like, no, he's a fucking dog with a crazy, he's like, I can't move. This weird outfit on.
