Join the Texas Law Dog and his first-ever intern on the show for episode 8.

We go over TCOLE (Texas Commission on Law Enforcement), touch on some other topics, and introduce our first (and maybe last?) community project!

(0:49-09:07) Law Dog introduces his intern Azeem for his very first time on the show, and asks a very simple question of "what do you think of women's rights?" find out his intern's response. We bring in the topic of TCOLE and how easy it is to join the police law enforcement. We ask... is it really harder becoming a cosmetologist than a police officer? We take a sneak peak at some cool data records of police officers you probably haven't seen before.

(14:06-24:44) The Law Dog shifts gears into how the government does play a huge role in our lives but is it actually being run properly. Does your government care about you? Do we need to see through the holy "dollar"?

(24:45- 38:15) Coming back to the topic of TCOLE by introducing Training Day, the Law Dog goes more in depth about the law enforcement in Texas and in many other states - do they really allow cops who are fired to rejoin the force again in a different department or county?

(38:16-52:38) Law Dog is going to take a stab into community advocacy for the first time, lets see if we can accomplish this little challenge. Intern discusses his first car crash, Law Dog shows off his new Dwight Schrute Mask to influence viewers and listeners to wear their masks!!!

We wrap it up with another piece of advice that you wouldn't want to miss out on.

We break down everything from when the officer pulls you over to strapping you down to a chair to take your blood (legally)!

We talk about how sober people can't do field sobriety tests and why you shouldn't try them after a few drinks on a dark bendy road.

We talk about the differences between the Intoxilyzer 5000 versus the fancy new 9000 and what that means for your case.

We give you the five basic rules to follow when you get pulled over and you're not exactly sober.

BECAUSEEEE we talk topical topics on our first two segments. Skip to the interview if you hate the news!

(0:50 - 21:12) Law Dog kicks off the show asking if Akash is up to date on his v@ccinations. He contemplates a possible solution to deal with pesky political neighbors who insist on supporting tribalism and in the process (maybe sarcastically, maybe not - this is America - you get to believe whatever you want for now) proposes military intervention to solve the v@ccine "debate" simultaneously.

(21:13 - 34:11) We shift gears into a brief election discussion about 2020 and how Law Dog is more of an expert than you thanks to the one class he took in law school. He wonders whether the citizenry should prepare themselves for a SCOTUS dusty finish?

(34:12 - 62:15) SEVEN TIME TEXAS SUPERLAWYER MARK THIESSEN JOINS US FOR AN INTERVIEW. Mark talks practicing criminal defense in Texas, successful routes to picking a winning jury, COVID-19 conditions for Houston trial lawyers, a funny prostitution case Mark had once, and police reform!

(62:20 - 88:12) Finally, Law Dog talks about struggling with addiction during the pandemic as well as his passion outside of law: music. Is taking a stab in the music business changing his life? Will his inspiring words encourage you to believe he is either insane or completely sane? Are we all still Americans? Depends on your reality!
