Meet the pack
Photos, videos, and the dogs you actually hear on the show.
It started in a living room in the suburbs. Rusty and Oreo were living the good life: naps, treats, and squirrel chases. But they wanted more. They wanted to influence the culture.
So they started a podcast. Rusty brings the gravitas. Oreo brings the chaos. Imagining what they would say if they could finally talk back.
We can't make Rusty actually talk. So we built the next best thing: a voice that sounds like the dog we know.
Photos, not prompts
Every main character on this show is a real dog or a real person. Real photos beside the animated versions you'll hear on the show.
Bernedoodle · lead anchor · voice of reason
In real life: stares at the ceiling fan for forty minutes a day. Will not eat anything off the floor unless it is butter.
His silence becomes the show's gravitas. We didn't invent the stoic dog. We just wrote down what he would clearly be saying.
Goldendoodle · chief vibes · chaos specialist
In real life: will pick a half-eaten street hot dog up off the sidewalk. Has been doing this for years. We are not proud.
The show's chaos energy is just Oreo turned up two clicks. The frequency only dolphins hear is real. We didn't even exaggerate it.
The family
The owner · the straight man
Patient. Perpetually bewildered. Asks the dogs rhetorical questions and they take them literally. Not a bit. That's just Tuesday.
The dogs' mom · the conscience
The only person who can stop a fight with a single "boys!" Has received a dead leaf and a wet sock as Valentine's Day gifts. We have receipts.

Rusty and Oreo are online. Ask them anything — treats, squirrels, life philosophy. They have a lot to say.
Rusty and Oreo are away from their microphones right now. Check back soon.
Rusty sighs. Oreo goes off. They argue, agree, and somehow answer your question. Talk to them both.
Chat with both →
Cynical. Stoic. Will sigh at your question and then answer it perfectly.
Chat solo →
Chaotic. Operates on a frequency only dolphins hear. Will take your question somewhere unexpected.
Chat solo →Ten songs. About thirty-two minutes. Songs the show wrote between episodes and never had a place to put.
Hover anywhere in the room. Rusty has notes on every spot.
