In this heartfelt and hilarious episode of Bulldog and Friends, Todd sits down with one of the most charismatic members of the Buller clan — Justin “Jay Bull” Buller — attorney, husband, dad, and Humboldt County mountain man. Justin opens up about his journey into law, from following in his father Mark’s footsteps to navigating the complexities of civil enforcement for the State of California. He shares the unexpected challenges of negotiation, the emotional landscape behind legal decision-making, and how becoming a father reshaped his priorities, faith, and daily life.

The conversation blends Buller-family storytelling with thoughtful reflection: Justin talks about raising his kids in the forests of Eureka, rediscovering small-town living, and cherishing the natural beauty that surrounds his family. He also honors the influence of key Bullers — including Eddie and Bo — describing how their leadership, creativity, and connection shaped him growing up.

Filled with laughs, memories of legendary Tahoe cousin movies, deep insights about parenthood and identity, and that classic Buller warmth, this episode is a celebration of family, purpose, and the power of showing up for the people you love.

This week on Bulldog and Friends, Bulldog welcomes two of the funniest and most genuine guests yet — Nana and Sadie, lifelong friends whose bond has lasted more than fifty years. From meeting as five-year-olds in kindergarten to raising families, becoming grandmothers, and now living just down the road from each other again, their story is equal parts comedy, heart, and nostalgia

The conversation overflows with laughter as the two share childhood adventures — from dropping gum on Missy’s dad’s foot to getting in trouble for synchronized sass in sixth grade. They relive family trips to Tahoe, sunburn disasters, and nights spent giggling through “no laughing at the table” dinners. But beneath the humor is something deeper: a friendship built on honesty, support, and love through every stage of life.

Bulldog explores how Nana and Sadie’s connection has evolved — through marriages, parenthood, and now grandparenting together — and what it means to have a best friend who will always tell you the truth, lift you up, and make you laugh even in the hardest moments

They talk about technology bridging the miles (Snapchat, group texts, and video calls), their plans for retirement by the water, and how they’ve already earned their new titles as “the Nana and Sadie of the 21st century.”

Closing the episode, Bulldog reflects on the power of enduring friendship and the importance of organizations like Saving Innocence, which remind us how love, care, and human connection can make all the difference.

This one is packed with stories, sunshine, and sisterhood — a feel-good listen that’ll make you text your oldest friend the second it’s over.

From his days battling on the mat to his years shaping young athletes as a coach and administrator, Pat brings stories of grit, humor, and heart that capture what true discipline looks like

Pat reflects on his wrestling journey — from cutting seven pounds in under an hour, to finding joy in the grind of competition, and the unique rush that comes from pushing yourself (and your opponent) to the limit. He shares what made wrestling different from any other sport, how it shaped his character, and how those same lessons carried into teaching, leadership, and life after retirement.

• His bucket list trip to see a football game at Notre Dame Stadium
• The legendary Hitchcock Wrestling Camps at Squaw Valley and their impact on generations of athletes
• How the O’Donnell family made their mark on Pacific Grove athletics
