In part two of our interview with Denis Dean, we get into reasonable doubt, jury duty, and why he wants to be the prosecuting attorney while also going down a few rabbit holes, as is our modi operandi. From state fairs to sandwiches to gut-wrenching cases, part two offers a plethora of topics. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

Denis Dean had a circuitous route from Miami, Florida to Fayetteville, Arkansas, one involving a family of attorneys, crooked cops, cocaine dealers, and death threats. Now Chief Deputy Prosecutor for Washington and Madison Counties, Dean is looking to shed the "deputy" portion of his title and become the prosecutor. In this episode, he discusses his family history, growing up in Florida in the wildness of the 1980s, and what motivates him when it comes to making sure bad guys face the justice they've earned. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

For part two of our discussion with Charles Kochel, we almost totally skipped over the discussion of faith mentioned at the end of part one. Instead, we went down a variety of rabbit holes, from tariffs to Case Knives to success to patriotism. In other words, it was a true campfire conversation. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

When Charles Kochel last visited us, he was preparing to begin treatments for cancer. Since that time, he's undergone a plethora of surgery, gotten blood transfusions, and been told there's now something wrong with his heart. That hasn't stopped him from spending time with his family and friends, getting out on his tractor, or l-i-v-i-n in general. In this episode, catch up with Charles as he discusses everything that's happened since his last visit and find out how he thinks about the future. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

Elery Bush went from owning the largest club in the state of Louisiana, with stacks of cash in a drawer in his apartment, to finding himself broken down and broke on the side of the road, with an inoperable Toyota Camry and only 73 cents to his name. From there, he went on to become a hood tax expert before launching a t-shirt and printing company. Then he started his career as a journeyman carpenter, despite having no experience with carpentry. In this episode, we continue our discussion with the improbable man and his improbable road from riches to rags to riches. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

Elery Bush has lived enough life for several people. From growing up in a house where an exorcism was performed to outlandish church outfits to renegade trick or treating to running the largest nightclub in Louisiana, he's got stories to spare of them. Fortunately for us, and for you, he stopped by the studio and shared more than a few. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

We're back with more listener questions and, boy, did y'all elicit some conversations. How does Joe keep his beard so lustrous? How do you get to Sesame Street? How does a flatulent water buffalo help when you're stopped by the police? Find out the answers to these questions, and more, in our latest episode. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

What do heavy machines, haints, secrets, possums, and canned biscuits have to do with one another? Not much, but that's the winding path guest questioner Jamey Cooley took us down in this episode, one in which he turned the tables on the hosts and put us in the hot seat. From rabbit hole to rabbit hole, this one travels a winding road. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

In part two of our latest, hear Chief Prosecuting Attorney and judicial candidate Joshua Robinson break down what it takes to be a judge, why he's running, and what he feels when he loses a case. We also get into jury duty and why Joe takes it, and public defenders, so seriously. Give it a listen, it's a good one.

When Joshua Robinson was in college, he was planning to become an English teacher and football coach when an opportunity for grad school appeared. Rather than sticking with his original plan, he decided to go to law school in the Big Easy. There, with his wife and first child, he completed his degree, but then he had to figure out how to use it. After returning to Arkansas, he decided to forego private practice and instead entered the prosecuting attorney's office, eventually rising to Chief Prosecuting Attorney for Benton County, Arkansas. Now, he has his sights set on the 2026 election and the position of circuit judge. In this episode, Josh discusses his background, his motivations, some cases, and why he chose to focus on serving the public rather than going for the big bucks. Give it a listen, it's a good one.
