Greetings, naturopathy. Dr. Dennis Black here, founder of Rough Greens. And if only dogs could talk. I think a lot of them would say, hey, thanks for the love, but this food, it's not working for me. The truth is, they'd be right. Because most dog food, wet or dry, is cooked at such high temperatures that every live nutrient in it is destroyed. And what you're left with is dead food bulked up with fillers and sprayed with artificial flavors. That's not what dogs need. But when you add back in the live vitamins, omega oils and antioxidants, you're in rough greens. Your dog would say something different. Like they'd say, wow, this is delicious. Or sluggish dogs might say, hey, let's go for a walk. Older dogs might say, I feel like a puppy again. It's not magic, it's biology. Don't just imagine it. See it in your dog. I'll send you a free Jumpstart trial bag for your dog. You just cover the shipping. Go to ruffgreens.com use discount code talk. That's Ruff Greens discount code talk.

What's the damn deal? It's your boy DJ Prek with the John Clay Wolf show up in the archives once again. I got a quick one, but a good one today. Okay, Back in John's party days, he was ballin out on his homeboy's dime. You know, big smoking in the Range Rover, grabbing a few beers for the road. Only problem is, they're doing it in somebody else's Range Rover. Now, I like to party, but stealing cars is a little too extreme for me. But John's just built different, I guess. Check it out.

[A]

But I ran into a guy at a kid's football game the other day that I knew. I'll spare the names, but in college, there's A super rich guy. And his. His parents owned a liquor brand that you'd be familiar with. Okay. Crown Royal. Oh. So we took his Range Rover to a restaurant. This guy was paying for everybody because he was so wealthy. And there was four of us, and we went to a restaurant, and we were drunk and we were leaving. And we got about 10 minutes down the road, he actually. He pulled out. He pulled over. We peed in, like, a parking lot. And then the light was on. He looked back in there. He's like, I don't have tan interior. What is stupid? But someone else had sharted, and they threw their underwear in the back. And we were smoking.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

We went back to. You were smoking? Yeah, smoking cigarettes. Oh, you're standing outside the vehicle. No, no, no. In the vehicle. Okay, okay. Heavy party scene. I'm trying to paint the picture. Heavy. Heavy party scene. 1996. Okay. In the wrong car. We got the wrong car from the valet.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

When he said, I don't have tan interior. And we were abusing this car and a person threw up. It wasn't 10 minutes later. It was about 40 minutes later. So you had the underwear you had throw up and you had cigarette smoke.

[B]

In a car you don't own.

[A]

We get out, and they are just bitching and moaning and just. She's all. And like, hey, man, they gave us the wrong car. Just all over us. And I finally said, you don't even know what you're mad about yet. Wait till you see this.

[A]

Great. And we got in our car when the guys pulled it up and left. And I bet they were angry. Oh, my God. I don't know what made me think of that. 800. 807. Sounds like a Florida news kind of deal. Like, Florida man takes someone's Range Rover from the valet and poops in the floor.
