Chapter 1: How did dogs help Curly find a new purpose?
People wanted us to stop talking over each other, so here we are.
We've got two special guests. We've got... I want them to introduce themselves to the people listening. I don't think they can introduce themselves. Plus, they're very humble, very obedient, so they're not going to talk much.
Big talkers, though.
Like Rucker's back. No, we've got...
teal hello right here the original the og you can tell she's a little gray around the muzzle she's about to be 11 years old what's her name now teal teal teal ladies and gentlemen we have oh we have animals in the chairs right yeah and then right beside me we got bae who's training you know you never know she may go pick up cranes so she's got her goggles on is that a parachuting dog
No, that's just for in case she goes to pick up them sandhill cranes and they turn around and try to fight back, it protects her eyes. They're not dead. So, yeah, if you got some poor shots with you and cripple some and the dog got to go get them, they need to be open up.
Yeah, Jace did that one time over in Texas. Jace, it was Jace. Then when he walked up on him, that crane done got up and he hissed at him.
Well, you know what happened then. You don't want to take on them pterodactyls without some form of protection. No, but we got teal and bay. The top employees of Curly's Top Dog, our neighboring business here. What are you doing, girl? I know.
These are the two calmest dogs I've ever been around in my life. I want to ask them a lot of questions. Have you ever thought about what it would sound like if dogs could talk?

Chapter 2: What memorable lessons did Si learn from his dogs?
You've only met one of my dogs.
Look at there. Look at that. I mean, just lay your head on my hand. Hunter's jealous. Hunter says he needs an emotional support animal. You need to come pet it, Hunter? You need to come do some dog petting? Do we need to start offering that here in the office, dog petting?
That would make me so happy if we did that.
Were you the one in the airport that walks by the people with the golden retrievers that's always in there and stopped and pet them for a little while while you was waiting this past weekend?
no no you didn't do that you didn't find them oh they're all in the airports now you can just go buy a pet dog i think it's wait what they just got people walking around with like badges and stuff on and like they offer dog petting to calm anxiety while you're flying and in the airport that's a thing it's 2025 in america yes it's a thing well that's cool I mean.
Cool's not the word I would have used, but. It's a word I would use.
I'd love to go pet a dog before riding an airplane.
And with animals, the love is unconditional.
Yeah, she ain't even mine.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Curly face as a nurse during the pandemic?
That dude would run all over the buggy, all over your stuff, dropping everywhere.
Yo, but, hey, I will give you one thing, though. He was the best retriever you've ever had.
Naturally. Incredible.
I mean, just, hey, and he had the fire.
Yeah. You had to put him in a choke hold on the way to the hole.
Oh, no.
Just to keep him there. And he was so fired up.
Well, if you started blowing a duck call, it's, There's Nate. Oh, yeah. Just saying. Hey, and you couldn't stop him. He was excited. Hey. Wide open. If you trained him to shoot, he would kill him and then go get him. He was like Phil.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: Why did Curly decide to leave the healthcare system?
Well, if you're going to survive the Robertsons, I mean, every animal is a death sentence, right? Because we're going to outlive 90% of them. But if you end up a Robertson pet, you're in a bind. Except for Sweet Pea. That's why she hides in the gate.
You know what I want to know, though? What? What Curly's favorite dogs are. Not like individual dogs. Breeds? Yeah, but you got to have like... That's an obvious one. Well, number one's obvious. Oh, yeah. Black Lab. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, where's your ranking of St. Bernard?
What's that thing that's as big as a horse you bring in here?
Oh, that South African boar bull. It's a South African mastiff.
Let me tell you something. That dog right there, buddy. That's that thing from the sandlot. He couldn't wear your glove.
No. He'd need a bigger pair of gloves.
Thin hair.
Yeah, it's thin hair. It's a more athletic build of a mastiff. It's not big and chubby. It's freaking muscle.
Yeah, I'm telling you, slap a saddle on him.

Chapter 6: What role do dogs play in mental health?
Yeah, a little boy.
Man, I was always scared of having a kid just working in the ER. Just having to work on infants and babies that young is very sad, but... I found out they're really resilient as long as you take care of them. Oh, man, they're awesome.
Kids are bouncing. If you ask Jason about Mia. Yeah. Mia taught him more than he could have learned from 100 other people. Yep.
I'm just glad somebody I know got kids younger than me. That makes me happy. Right. Because everybody else's kids that I hang out with, their kids are in junior high now. West Monroe, you generally get started pretty early. I'm glad school.
Usually high school. That's something that's in the news right now. Generally prom. It's fixed to give women $5,000 to have babies.
Do what?
I want my 15. No, no.
And I'm going to need my 10.
And I think you deserve a little bonus for two inches.
