Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm Clayton English and I'm Greg and this is a
War on Drugs quick fix. Clayton. How you doing man,
I'm doing great? Man. How about yourself? I'm good. I'm
you know, how can I not be good when when
I'm with you in the studio and gonna do another

(00:20):
quick fix here from the War on Drugs? Yeah, yea,
do it. This is a funny one though. It's always
nice to have a little bit of you know, brevity
on the a little bit, a little bit. We gotta
we gotta light in the moods outside. But this was
a good episode. I mean, of course, Eric Andre, we
couldn't we couldn't even contain all that in in one episode,

(00:42):
so of course we're gonna have some spill over. Yeah,
you know, we do some interviews and it's very heavy,
and like with him, it was just like, oh, can
we just talk for another like hour, like you gotta go? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
here's that dear. And he did have somewhere to be,
so I really for stopping through and make a time
for us. But uh yeah yeah. But you know, there

(01:03):
was a lot of stuff that was left on the
cutting room floor that we kind of wanted to to
make sure our listeners got to got to hear it.
But um, we had a great conversation you know, kind
of on drug sniffing dogs their reliability. We gotta stop
back like they dolphins. They're not dolphins. Now. If they
were dolphins, if you got a drug sniffing dolphin and
he pushes the button, I gotta go with that. I

(01:25):
probably did have something in the car, but do way
too unreliable. I've seen them eat their own excrement, so
it's no way. That's a great point. Yeah, So we
had a great conversation with with Anni Hudson, Price and
Eric about kind of drug sniffing dogs, their reliability and um,
and so we want to make sure you all got
to hear that. A little bit of humor, a little
bit of information. So here's your next quick fix. All right,

(01:47):
here we go. We a lot to talk about. I
heard they were like hitting people with drug sniffing dogs.
But German shepherds are so inbred now that they're only effective.
I mean, I got beef with all the drug period.

(02:08):
I don't I don't believe in them drug dogs. There's
the exist you might not be able to say if
there were drug dogs I would have adopted twelve of
them bitches from the shelter, and I would just walk
through neighborhoods and let them find drugs for me. Like
if this is the case, like they're only good for
like two hours out of the entire day to sniff.

(02:30):
Look if you could have walked by someone who was
smoking pot and now you've got that, you know, the
smoke on your clothes, and that's what they're picking up on.
I mean, there's no and they're inaccurate a lot, a lot.
So drug sephic dogs are like a krack of ship
because the way they train it is essentially through like
they want to please their owner and get food, and

(02:51):
so it's there's an incentive for them to actually find
these things, and so any inkling of it, you know,
it's like my dogs, like I have a treat and
that's doing the shape thing down. Roll doesn't care what
I'm saying. Yeah, right, there's actually I mean there's this.
I don't know how white spread it is, but there
are other examples of people like you know, doing a
snap or something like that. Yeah, learning the dog to something,
having some other signal to it. Yeah, will well, well yeah, okay,

(03:14):
they got me one time, they walcome around the trunk.
They walk him around the car. He gets to the trunk,
he taps on the trunk and the dog jumps up
there and he's like the dogs telling me that it's drugs.
That I was like, wait a minute, and like I
tapped on the trunk, the dog jumped back up there.
I was like, oh, he told me, no, it's not
like the dog a dog, what dog doesn't do that?

(03:35):
Like I landed in Sydney, Australia, that that flight is
like twenty four hours or something something and saying I
was in such like a bena drilled days that I
saw the drug dog on the way in and I
was like, hey, buddy, coming with me, mate. I was
like why did I And somebody else in line was
like why did you go? I don't know. I mean

(03:59):
like a days And they searched all every nook and
cranny of my stuff. And I was doing a show
and the promoter was outside waiting for me for like
two hours, and they were like they had like a
little forensics lab and the ladies like swiping my backpack
and she's like such and such came up in your thing.
I was like, what is that? And she's like people

(04:22):
use it to make drugs. I'm like, I'm not making drugs.
She's like, it's also found in Alka seltzer. I'm like,
my bag, that's that's the one. That's what it is.
It was such a nightmare and it was like I
was like, fucking drugs, stiffing dogs. I bet it. It
didn't even come after me after the thumb dog. I'm

(04:45):
Greg and I'm quite an English and this has been
a war on drugs. Quick fix. Thanks for listening. M
