This is Buster Jack and we're coming at you today with the follow-up interview with Dog Boy from the Pulaski County P farm. And this is our third interview with Dog Boy. The first interview we established, the meaning or where his name came from, the origin of his name. And we also talked about his crime, what got him into difficulty in the first place.
During the second interview, we just traced him through a day and found out what his schedule was and so forth. And this interview is going to be an expose of his radio program that he does at the P farm every Tuesday afternoon from 4.30 to 6 p.m. And he's going to tell us how that show started and really what his purpose is in doing the show. And so just stay tuned and we'll have this program on momentarily.
Well Dog Boy, this is Buster Jack. Glad to hear from you again, Buster Jack. Well Dog Boy, the purpose for this interview, and this is a follow-up interview from our last time, and the purpose is to find out about your radio station and how long you've been doing it and what your purpose is and so forth. But before we get to that, I think in order for me to come clean and in the interest of full disclosure, I need to inform the people that I've known Dog Boy for a long time because actually we are both serving on the Pulaski County P farm.
And we've been there, we've been friends for a long time. So I know Dog Boy and I know that he's a real good friend of mine. But I didn't want to admit it because I'm always in a little bit of change to be down there. But in the interest of full disclosure, I thought I'd better reveal that to our audience.
So I got that out of the way and I feel a lot better about it. I really do. Well Buster Jack, just in the interest of full disclosure, why are you on the P farm? Well, it's a little bit embarrassing, though, Boy, it really is.
Yeah, I'm sure it is. You know, me too, but everybody knows why I'm here. So well, I guess that would be the right thing to do. OK.
I think so. I think I'd be fair. It's pretty embarrassing. Don't go.
I've always enjoyed setting fires. And I didn't. I'm not talking about arson because I didn't burn things down that. But I used to start down by piling, you know, caissons and old carpet and stuff and building a bonfire out of it.
And, you know, that stuff would give off a lot of smoke. And sometimes the fire department would come and I got into several scrapes with them, you know, and did some time in jail. But what sent me down there was that one time I read about making nitro glycerin. And I wanted to try it.
And I wasn't trying to blow anything up or anything like that. And I just wondered, see if I could make it. And I did. But you know, that stuff is real fragile.
You know, you can't. It's unstable. It's what I'm trying to say. So once I got it made, I didn't know how to get rid of it.
So I left and then I was going to call the police. But all something said it all. And it blew up the stairs. So we're didn't blow it up.
But it did considerable damage to a serious store. And I might not have to go to the bathroom. And anyway, they thought I was trying to destroy the stairs building. And I really wasn't.
It was just an accident. But they sent me down to the pee farm and I've been there ever since. You know, but I didn't know all that. Like you said, we've been friends a long time.
But I guess both of those kind of stupid, wasn't we? Yeah, I guess so, dog boy. You know, I can't believe now that I was that stupid. But you know, when you're young, dog boy, you'll do some things.
I mean, anybody ought to know better than make nitro glycerin. But I just never thought about it. I just all I want to do is see if I can make it. And apparently I did a good job.
And I'll get that out of the way. And maybe we won't have to talk about it anymore because it's a super thing to do. Well, maybe. Well, we all make mistakes, you know.
Anyway, tell me about your radio station, dog boy. And how long have you had it? What is the purpose of it? What do you want to do?
One of these days, maybe we'll both get out. And I just want to know what you know, why you started the station and what you want to do with it. Well, you know, I'll tell you about it. Let me tell you a little story.
Here's what you're interviewing me. I first received my sentence for this down here. Like I said, for soliciting prostitution, I selected an undercover police officer. But you know, that didn't draw all the time I have.
I've tried to run away so many times. I've tried to get away. I don't like it down here, you understand. Nobody does, I'm sure.
Well, I don't know. There's one guy who might lock it down here. I don't know. But I don't like it.
I think of that. Well, no, I don't like it either. But there's one old guy down here gets out there for 28 days and comes back every 30 days. He gets out and gets right back.
He's been doing it for a lot of years. But anyway, you know, I was always thinking when I'm out there in the field and stuff. I can't get away, obviously. So I try to think of some way to make it better.
But you know, one time when I was thinking about things I'd like to do or could do or maybe could do, I ran away one time. I tried to run away and I got over there close to the pinnacle mountain and it kind of got lost to you, truth. But I come on this. I don't know if you've ever seen them.
There's this big, thin, thin area with a big old tall radio tower. Yes, I do. I know exactly what you're talking about. Well, that's what gave me.
I got to thinking. If I can't get away, is there any way I could get out of the fields for any length, any way to what I thought, well, I'll bring it up and see what I can do. So I actually talked to one of the captains and asking him, didn't he think it'd be a good idea? We were out to be working at time to start a radio station down here, you know, and couldn't we broadcast from a beef arm and maybe I'd mentioned their names or you'd mentioned their names because I mentioned you and I said, you and I could do that.
And you know, it took a lot of talking and several different times bringing it up to convince him that by mentioning a couple of the captain's names, if we mentioned a couple of them on the air, they finally said they'd let us do it. They gave us this old ready room, you know. So that's how the radio station got started. You agreed to help me with it, you know.
So that's how it got started, been doing it now about four years. And you know, that's pretty good long run. Yes, it is. No boy.
Do you have any ambitions of being a DJ or running a radio station when you get out? I won't do. I won't do real bad about that. I love doing this.
We have a good time doing this for hour and a half a week. At least we have that much time to enjoy ourselves, you know, and we get to eat sometimes that oh, all of a sudden we get to eat. But you know, I do. I would love to at least be a DJ in a regular state, a country regular state.
I'd love to do that. I've got quite a while before I can think about getting out because, you know, they're always watching me real close now. But that's what I'd like to do if I ever get out of it. Well, I would like to do, you know, I really enjoy it.
And I've got a pretty cool situation as compared to most people because I have a trophy and I've been lucky just by I've always been able to get along with people real well and say what people wanted to hear. And so they've made me a trustee down there. And of course, another thing is that I've got a skill I used to work on for the gas company before I made the doctor's decision. And I used to work for a gas company and I learned all about plumbing.
And so every day, you know, they made me a trustee down there. Once at least once or twice a week, I get to leave and get on the gas truck and we go to various cities in Arkansas and sometimes up in Missouri, Mississippi. And we work on municipal property and repair problems that they're having and so forth. So I've been really lucky to be able to get away and usually, but of course, it's not like we do, but it does give you a little variety of, you understand what I mean?
I know exactly what you mean. I don't get that. I don't know what you mean about it. You are lucky.
Yeah, I am lucky, dog boy. I hope someday that I can get out and maybe you and I could get together. Maybe we could form us a radio station because goodness knows we've had a lot of experience. A lot.
Yes, I hope we can do that. I'm not going to try to run away anymore. You know, it didn't work out any of the time I tried except to get me a bunch of extra time. So I'm not going to try that anymore.
Maybe I'll get out one day. Maybe we could do that. That's what I want to do. I enjoy it.
That's the hour and a half of my week and I really enjoy it. Well, I'll tell you one thing and we're going to have to wind this interview up because I know you're going to have to go back to the fields. Actually, I am too. For that matter, you know, I don't have it all good.
I have to work just like the rest of them when I'm not out of the truck. But I hope that it's, you know, we're both really lucky to have good friends. I mean, I've got you, of course, and I think that, you know, that I'm a good friend of yours, you're a good friend of mine and we've known each other for a long time. And it makes it really nice because some people down there, you don't really have to be friends and they're so confounded on me that people can't have anything to do with them or won't have anything to do with them.
So, you know, you know, that's for sure. I'll tell you what, you are my best friend and we have a good time on that hour and a half during the radio phase and I get to see you from time to time, you know, during the week and I know you get on that old truck a couple of times a week and I'm really glad for that for you because I don't get to do that. But this hour and a half when we do the radio station, that's the highlight of my week, boy, telling you and I look forward to it and you have come. Well, you just have come a really long way than the booth in our show and our web pages and all that.
But what I appreciate it, I do. I'm looking at them. Well, I've been doing computer work for a good while and so you've been draining your mind. I have I've trained my mind for years and years on this computer work.
Dog more before we have to go tell him about Hoss because we had mentioned him and he'd like to be mentioned on the air, I'm sure. Well, Hoss is one of Buster Jack and I's just one of our closest friends. We very endearing to us. We just he comes down almost every week.
Now he comes down on the truck. And he goes down almost every week. Now he's not. Hoss, not a prisoner.
He just comes down to deliver and stuff like that. But while he's here, he goes out there, like they're cooking, they got a fire going out there and old blue and then Hoss number out there and that big old boy. I can think of his name. I can't remember that big old boy name.
Rufus, he's got it. He's got that demands tribute in his Hoss sales. Yes, he is. He is.
And well, you had to and done or anything else. He'll take it. But anyway, Hoss come down and he goes out there and they love him out there where they cook and all that stuff. People from the kitchen, all that.
He brings me in, being new sandwiches or something. He just brings us up every time he's here. Just be just like we don't get fed any other time during the week. He is just a great friend and he's a good singer.
He sings on our show, sings on our radio and he's a good singer. And he's really a great guy. Just both of mine and your close friend. He really is.
We just have a whole family missing. He wasn't here this week, you know. No, he wasn't. But I do have a didn't want to tell you before I had to go and they're they're looking at me.
But so I'm going to have to wind this up. But we did get a podcast yesterday of our show. And I'm going to publish that podcast in just a little bit here. And don't go out.
It's so good to talk to you and it's good to get this out. I feel better having done a confession and and told everybody, you know, what I did. And I feel like that a load has been lifted off my conscious. So I'm going to let you wind this up and you can say goodbye when you're finished.
And I'm going to say goodbye to everybody right now. And we'll be back with other interviews later on. OK, but I appreciate it. Let me say this.
Don't be you know, don't be sorry on yourself because at least what you were doing was kind of educational. I appreciate what I did too. But you know, that's over. We got to get through it and get into our time here.
But I want to tell you, I appreciate you interviewing me. And I want to say to all the people out there how, how, you know, appreciative. I am that they listen to our radio station and everything. So don't go and get on out of your head after the field.
I drag it out long as I can. But I got to get on out there. So hey, that got my appreciate all of you a bunch and I hope to talk to you again. Thanks so much.
Bye bye.
