Animals

1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:06,560
Welcome back to another episode
of a record of my father.

2
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:09,560
And here we are today with my
father.

3
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,360
We're going to be talking about
animals, right?

4
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:13,600
Is that what you were mentioning
earlier?

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,240
Is that what you wanted to make
this one about?

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,960
Yeah, I was thinking it's like
after the first of the year, you

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,040
know you start looking at the
things that have been important

8
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,480
in your life and we look back
and I'm, I mean, I got two dogs

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,800
right now that I never thought
I'd have that are important.

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,240
And I had cats in the past that
were important to you, that you

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,640
know, you know.
Just just to me, not to you.

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,640
Just to you.
Not just to me, no.

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,440
Just to me.
Well, I mean.

14
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,440
My gosh, the cat lived 22 years
and the other one lived 19.

15
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,800
I've never even seen a met a cat
that has lived that long since

16
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,880
then.
Yeah, they were in, they were in

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,760
the, what we would call it, the
Ritz Carlton.

18
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,560
The the cat.
Carlton Yeah, I think we spent

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,320
more on the cats than we did on
your education.

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,520
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, I remember.

21
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,920
Time 6.
Towards the end of what was it

22
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,240
Cassandra?
I think it was both.

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,800
They were having renal failure
and they were like, oh, we can

24
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,480
come in five times a week and
get the what was it the liquid

25
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,080
shots or something?
They want to get water, then

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,640
they want to do radio
radioactive isotopes to other

27
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240
stuff like that.
It was just, it was just, you

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,080
know, there's the.
There's the wonderful time that

29
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:18,960
was.
That's crazy.

30
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,440
Yeah, there's a wonderful time
when you think about the animals

31
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,800
in the beginning when you, you
know the puppy kitties and they

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,280
can barely climb up the steps
and they hit and they're

33
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,320
beautiful and they're neat.
And that, you know, the dogs in

34
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,120
particular love you every time
you come home.

35
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,720
The cats don't give a shit.
But the but frames would always

36
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,480
climb.
Well, frames would always climb

37
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600
into your lap.
Me, mine.

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,680
Not yours.
You you were a stinking kid.

39
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,640
Anybody.
Yeah, you were fright.

40
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,360
She.
Didn't care about anybody except

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,840
you.
No, Cassandra would follow me

42
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,000
around the yard like a dog.
Oh yeah.

43
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,160
She was a black cat, about 12
lbs, Solid black, a little white

44
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,680
under the neck, I think, yeah.
Really.

45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,400
Yeah, I think so.
There's white.

46
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Yeah, a little white under the.
Neck.

47
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,200
I didn't even think she had a
tie.

48
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,160
I didn't.
She had.

49
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,919
A tie Gray.
The whole Gray.

50
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Yeah, all Gray.
Looking Gray.

51
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,680
Gray, soft, Gray, soft sweater
cat oh.

52
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Yeah, sweater cat.
Kind of cat that you'd make a

53
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480
sweater out of, but that's
probably not what we should say.

54
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,800
Right.
We were going to make shoes and

55
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,320
we never did.
No, it was kind of upsetting.

56
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,600
We talked about that.
We're going to stuff this and

57
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,320
make a hat out of this cat and
your mother would just go like,

58
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:30,840
stop it.
Stop it.

59
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,600
That's horrible.
You're horrible, you know.

60
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,120
I'm upset that we never did.
I think that that.

61
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,240
I'm not.
We haven't been a box on a

62
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,720
shelf.
I know we well imagine if you

63
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,400
could wear them eternally,
forever.

64
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,920
And a hat.
And I could pass the hat on to

65
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,840
my children and then my
children's children, We would

66
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:52,280
have had kids if we could have
made the the hat.

67
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Now we have no family.
Heirloom thing matters anymore.

68
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,720
I I remember that Hal Fermash
got her name.

69
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,200
Now I was like.
I tell you that story.

70
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:07,400
I was like, no, no, I just said
I I she said what do you want to

71
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,160
call the cat?
And I said fur pie.

72
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,920
And she didn't think anything of
it and went to work and she told

73
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:14,680
the people at work that we have
two new cats, Cassandra and Fur

74
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,840
pie and all of her Co workers,
the females that were, they're

75
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,360
all paralegals.
They got into the conference

76
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,960
room and they called me, right.
And they were like like what is

77
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,400
this?
We hear you've named the cat

78
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,240
blah, blah, blah, blah.
What did you name the cat?

79
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,520
This is horrible.
And I and I was like look and

80
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,880
I'd just gotten back from
Montreal and I had a book on my

81
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,320
desk given to me in Montreal and
it was like cheeses Of Montreal

82
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,360
and I look at it and I go like
fromage and they just stopped.

83
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,160
They're just like.
What?

84
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,080
Fromage and everybody just said
it was so weird.

85
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,160
It was just like fromage.
That's a good cat name.

86
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,520
That is a good.
It was like, it was the most

87
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,640
random thing I did, and it was
like, it stuck because it was

88
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,640
like, wow, that's unusual.
That's kind of, that's kind of a

89
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,960
neat name.
And it it would just like, it

90
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,480
worked.
It really worked, 'cause she was

91
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,800
fromage, she was sort of
cheesed.

92
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,480
You know she was.
She was well, she was large

93
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,600
until she she died.
Until the last couple of years

94
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,240
there.
But how did you get them?

95
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,160
How did you You saved them,
right?

96
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,480
From a.
Well, well, yeah.

97
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,680
Well, I guess you would say that
her, her mom came up and she had

98
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880
barn kitties that got pregnant
and she had like four of them.

99
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,000
And she came up and she gave two
to her, to my wife's brother,

100
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,560
and he took two.
And then one of them, he called

101
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,320
Lucky because she said if the
cats stay here, she raised

102
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,160
Rottweilers, they're going to be
dead and weak.

103
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,720
So she actually comes over to
our house and we were in in

104
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,560
where the heck was it over at?
Over on Pomeroy Drive then and

105
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,360
over Burke.
You know, people didn't know who

106
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,240
that was.
Anyway, she comes over, she has

107
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,080
it two in a little case and a
cute little just, I mean, this

108
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,000
freaking big.
You know, they're tiny little

109
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,920
things and they're little, tiny
Wildcats, you know?

110
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,360
And it's just kind of a neat
thing.

111
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,240
And I didn't want cats.
And we both worked full time.

112
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,160
I mean a lot.
And I worked a lot then.

113
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,800
A lot.
Well, cats don't matter if you

114
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,360
work full.
Time.

115
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,400
Yeah, well, I mean to a point.
But still, it's the whole idea

116
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,760
that now you got one more thing
you got to take care of.

117
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,240
Taking care of a lot of.
Stuff.

118
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,000
And she goes, well, if you don't
want them, they'll be dead in a

119
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,480
week anyway.
And I was just like, it was

120
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,920
something it, I don't think it
was exactly those words, but it

121
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,320
was something that's what I
heard.

122
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,000
It's something of that effect.
And we're like, and I look at my

123
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,760
wife and I I I'm in, I'm in.
I don't want to be killing the

124
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,320
cats, man.
I don't want to be the one.

125
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,720
To help.
We were waiting under conscience

126
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,480
for the rest of.
The time, you know, but that was

127
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,840
great.
And then we got them.

128
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:46,600
And that was in like 93, you
know, and they didn't die until

129
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:52,000
2017 or 16.
Yeah, it was 17, It was 17 or

130
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,120
16, which, yeah, that was the
last.

131
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,880
I mean, they were like Cassandra
was 19 and then she she'd gone

132
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,520
down to like 7 lbs.
And that's when.

133
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,000
We had.
And I remember that when we that

134
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,040
was so sad when we I told her
mother, I said, you know, we're

135
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,520
not going to put water in these
cats multiple times a week,

136
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,000
we're.
Going to go in this.

137
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,800
Saturday.
And she didn't believe me.

138
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,680
And I said we're going to.
Do this.

139
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,720
And you and I went in there and
we put Cassandra down and I

140
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320
remember we called her on the
phone crying and she's like you.

141
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,760
You did it.
And I said, well, we we we said

142
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,440
we were.
But yeah.

143
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,320
But, but you know, and I was
like, OK, maybe I should have

144
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,760
said, really, I'm gonna do it.
But I really, really, I swear.

145
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:37,080
Really.
Really.

146
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,160
I swear, well, I made the point
in everything and I was gonna go

147
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,040
in and I knew that that that I
had a my partner, my business

148
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,960
partner said that he had a cat
that had the same kind of thing.

149
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,240
And he said in the.
And he said the first couple

150
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,240
weeks you had to chase the cat
around because the cat knew that

151
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,480
it was going to go and they're
going to stick a needle in it

152
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,960
and then put, you know 6 or 8
ounces of water in it because

153
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,360
that's the problem.
It wasn't it.

154
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,040
It wasn't retaining fluid.
And so it would have this bulge

155
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,880
of water running around its body
for three or four days and it

156
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,880
just hated it.
And then it became and then he

157
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,440
it was his cat and he loved the
cat and the cat hated him.

158
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,760
The cat was scared to death
every time.

159
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,440
Went over to find him he was
like run away.

160
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,760
No, you got to stick a needle on
me.

161
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,840
Ah.
And I was like I do not.

162
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Want my cat's last days to be
like that, you know?

163
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,800
They already knew as well.
I remember when we would take

164
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,840
them to the vet even before that
and they would run around the

165
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,880
house and they would know where
they were going and that was

166
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,760
that was already something that
I think there's.

167
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,640
Something about animals instinct
that says that we're going to go

168
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,320
stick something in you and.
Well, you put me in a cage.

169
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,120
I think you're you're going to
stick something in me, right?

170
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,600
Yeah, we usually didn't.
We stopped using the cage on you

171
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,720
once.
You got to be about seven or

172
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,280
eight years.
Old.

173
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,200
I thought I was around 15.
I don't know.

174
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,600
No, no, we only used a leash.
Then, oh, just a leash.

175
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Leash in handcuffs.
That's not a cage.

176
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,160
A cage is totally different.
No, that's inhumane.

177
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,720
Cage is inhumane if you think
about it, yeah.

178
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,400
Yeah, leash in handcuffs on your
kid to get him to go to the

179
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,680
doctor to get a shot.
You're going to get a shot.

180
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,520
What was I thinking about
earlier?

181
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,240
The the Turkey.
Oh, you brought up the Turkey,

182
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,440
'cause it was so funny.
We went down.

183
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,800
We used to always go down and
visit my, I guess, for lack of a

184
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,600
better word, aunt.
She was someone that my mother

185
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,400
took in as a child.
Their their family took in.

186
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,080
Her family was killed and she
lived with them.

187
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,320
And.
Then she got married to

188
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,840
somebody, but she didn't really
get married.

189
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,760
They was just cohabitating.
They live together and we would

190
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,600
go down there and visit them and
they lived on a farm in Mouth of

191
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,840
Wilson, VA, which is in the
middle of nowhere, Dry County 2.

192
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I mean, it was, you know,

193
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,080
we had to go across the line to
buy moonshine Anyway, that's.

194
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,520
Another dry county today, do you
know?

195
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:53,360
I think it is and you still have
to go to the trailer across.

196
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,360
From where it is my aunt was.
And you don't buy it directly.

197
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,400
They put it in the stump out
front, and you leave the money

198
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,320
in the stump.
It was just like the most

199
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,120
comical thing.
But that's not what the story I

200
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,760
was going to tell anyway.
And and that's reasonably close

201
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,320
to truth anyway.
The, the Turkey, they they, the

202
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,840
guy says, well, why didn't you
take a Turkey with you?

203
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,040
And he's like, oh, OK, we'll
take a Turkey.

204
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,040
And my mom's like, well, let's
get a pet Turkey.

205
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,960
And I'm just like, can we have a
Turkey?

206
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,360
We grab a Turkey.
Yeah, it's a little, we have a

207
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:31,200
little wooden cage, probably as
big as a medium sized or large

208
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,080
sized dog cage.
Right.

209
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,760
OK.
We put him in the back of the

210
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,440
Chewit.
Every station wagon was all the

211
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,800
cars we ever had patted in the
far back.

212
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,280
And you know, go, go, go, go.
You know, we love the Turkey.

213
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,680
And it was just, it was really
kind of weird to get connected

214
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:50,240
to a Turkey and it was like and
and The thing is, is any animal

215
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,120
what you're close to?
Unless it's totally wild is you

216
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,480
know this was a Turkey that
wandered around in their yard

217
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,000
and ate food all day and didn't
run away because it had food all

218
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,400
day, you know, and nothing was
bothering and nothing was

219
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,200
killing it.
So it, you know, it was there.

220
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,920
It came with us came to our
house, we had it there for it

221
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,560
got out of the cage.
We would.

222
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,240
We would walk it, which is kind
of funny.

223
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400
You know, we would you would you
get a rope on the on the

224
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,040
Turkey's leg because he didn't
want to put it on his neck

225
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,800
because he might have hurt it.
But we put it on his leg and

226
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,560
he'd walk around the yard and
he'd walk the Turkey.

227
00:10:21,560 --> 00:10:25,560
And it was just so weird.
And one time it got away and it

228
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:28,120
got away at like 6:00 or 7:00 at
night, and it was just getting

229
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,960
dark.
And it flew on the neighbor's

230
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,560
roof.
And I run over to the neighbor

231
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:36,040
with my brother and three or
four other people, and we have a

232
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,560
ladder.
And I knock on his door and I

233
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,400
say, hey, do you mind if we get
our Turkey off your roof?

234
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,200
And he just looks at me like
you're looking at me right now

235
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,000
like, Oh no, this is some kind
of this is some kind of redneck

236
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,440
joke, isn't it?
This is a redneck joke.

237
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,480
Oh my God.
And he.

238
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Has a funny look And he says,
sure, I don't mind you can, you

239
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,440
can get your Turkey off my roof.
And then he was waiting for the

240
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,480
punch line.
And then we we plop the ladder

241
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,120
up and he looks and he goes
like, you guys are going to

242
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,680
climb on my roof.
And he's like, well, that's how

243
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:09,800
we're going to get Turkey.
And he steps out and he sees the

244
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Turkey walking around on his
roof.

245
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,240
I swear he just started
laughing.

246
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,880
He just started laughing and he
was just like, Oh my God, you

247
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,240
you really have a Turkey.
You know, when we were in like

248
00:11:21,560 --> 00:11:24,960
the Acres, which is a community
with houses that are on quarter

249
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
acre lots, you know, one right
after the other.

250
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,440
So having a Turkey was sort of,
well, I mean to say, admireably

251
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,720
kind of stupid.
But, you know, you know, we had

252
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,360
a Turkey, we put it, we put it
in the cage, we left it outside,

253
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,440
you know, just like we would a
rabbit or anything else.

254
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,520
And Oh my gosh, next day
somebody chopped the head off.

255
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,640
We we found right.
I would.

256
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,680
I would have thought they were
loud.

257
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,240
Well, gobble, gobble, you know,
And I would have thought it

258
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,320
would have been a fox or
something, but a fox would have

259
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,800
torn a thing apart.
But it had a very clean cut.

260
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:02,560
And somebody, I think a neighbor
was pissed off or somebody, some

261
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:05,680
local kid was oh, let's blah,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

262
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,480
and see what happens when you
cut a Turkey's head off.

263
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,080
I don't know.
I I have no idea.

264
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,160
It was, it was a horrible story.
We saw it.

265
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,880
Hearts were broken.
You know, we buried, we buried

266
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,280
the Turkey in the backyard.
Well, that's nice.

267
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,320
Yeah.
It's kind of like, what do you

268
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,080
what do you do with the dog, or
what do you used to do with

269
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,080
dogs?
I mean, I think we might have

270
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,320
named him Tom, but I'm not sure.
I'm not quite.

271
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,880
I don't remember the name of.
The That's a good name.

272
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,160
Well, how old is it?
How long do you have it in

273
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:31,360
total?
That's my question.

274
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,120
We probably only had it like 2
weeks, maybe week, week to two

275
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,360
weeks.
Top only.

276
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,760
Two weeks, Yeah.
It's very quick and everybody

277
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,920
kind of knew we had a Turkey and
they thought it was very weird

278
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,000
and a very.
I mean, it wasn't urban, we

279
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,960
weren't urban, but we were what
do you call it when you got a

280
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,320
bunch of residential?
We were a.

281
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,120
Residential.
Suburban much more, yeah.

282
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,360
So it was kind of strange.
You know, maybe race people had

283
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,480
rabbits and that was sort of OK,
but even that smelled horrible.

284
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,520
But you know, they.
Yeah.

285
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,200
Well, the The thing is we had a
big woods area behind us and

286
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,160
that would draw.
There were animals that lived

287
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,720
there that ate these things and
we didn't, you know, we didn't

288
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,640
really analyze what it was, but
it it it was just a clean cut,

289
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,080
chop, set off, whatever.
It is.

290
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,080
You think it wasn't the guy in
the storm?

291
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:21,480
Yeah.
I I think it was.

292
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,000
I don't think it was him.
No, no, he was a really, they

293
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,520
were really nice people.
They were a little Uber

294
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,400
religious, but but they're
still, they're very nice people.

295
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,920
So you know.
Well, that's sad about the

296
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,680
Turkey.
Yeah, it was very.

297
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,040
TomTom took a timely
termination.

298
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,960
But now you have these two dogs.
Do you see an animal after

299
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,000
these?
These two dogs?

300
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,440
Yeah, I.
I did not see these.

301
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,000
I didn't see these either.
When you when did she get?

302
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Yup, Yup, 2017 2016 2016 is.
That when you went off to

303
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,800
school.
Year before, Year before, Year

304
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,880
before. 2 years before, 2 years
before.

305
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,560
I thought you were getting old
and then, you know, you were her

306
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,360
job forever.
Yeah, you know, And then all of

307
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,120
a sudden it was just like, OK,
And she said, I want to get a

308
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,240
dog.
And I was just like, why would

309
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,240
you want to get a dog?
She was, I mean, I would have

310
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,640
always, I loved animals and I I
would have had dogs and egg,

311
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,720
cats and frogs and sheep and
whatever the hell we had

312
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,320
turtles, turtles.
I mean, we got 4 acres, you

313
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,240
know?
The other thing about getting

314
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,440
like a small goat or something.
I talked about that.

315
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,880
Too well?
You'd have to get a couple.

316
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,520
They'd have to build a new where
your skate parks gone.

317
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,920
I guess I could.
Start a goat.

318
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,520
Hurt I got my stick.
That would be kind of cool.

319
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,480
I've always wanted to do that
for at least a year.

320
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,000
Become a herder of.
Sorts.

321
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Well, I have a what do you call
it?

322
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:51,680
What are the Zulu warriors?
The from Kenya or Tanzania?

323
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,600
They have these goat sticks.
That they need to.

324
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,240
Defend off the lines and I
bought one when I was there when

325
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,840
we climbed Kilimanjaro and it's
like it's it weighs like a steel

326
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,160
bar and we we now have found out
that we have coyotes.

327
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,040
I think they're called they're
coyotes and wolf combined.

328
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:12,480
It's like a Kai wolf or
something.

329
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,640
Kai Wolf.
That's right.

330
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,880
I don't know how to pronounce
anything.

331
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:22,000
We have coyotes and we have fox.
And just 10 minutes ago, Yub Yub

332
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,800
chased the fox off, you know?
Oh, she did too.

333
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,800
Yeah.
And I was just like, she just

334
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,520
bolted and ran after the red
tail and ran and the fox ran

335
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,720
under the fence, ran away.
And I was just like, you guys

336
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:33,800
are going to get eaten.
They're.

337
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:34,880
Going to get, yeah, they really
are.

338
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,120
Cause Yoshi did that the other
day.

339
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Yeah, he he didn't know what to
do.

340
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,400
He was running left to right,
going.

341
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840
I'm an idiot.
He just does that.

342
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,960
He runs and she barks and he
just runs in circles and doesn't

343
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,200
know what to do.
Yeah, one time it was going to

344
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:52,640
be one was made good well.
The thing is, is that that we

345
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,560
started this with the idea that
animals, I mean you you can, you

346
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,520
can do research studies and look
at them and see that they make

347
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,640
you live longer.
Oh yeah, they.

348
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,920
They make you happy.
You know, they you know the

349
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,840
whole idea that when you touch
an animal that you feel better,

350
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,640
you feel more comfort.
When you hear a cat purry,

351
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,560
you're just like that just is
such a great feeling inside you.

352
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,840
Know well you walk more too.
You walk a lot more.

353
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,760
Yeah, well, now I walk more with
them.

354
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,520
I didn't walk with cats.
It was kind.

355
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Of No, no, not with cats, but
but with dogs in general, yeah.

356
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,640
Yeah, and and they were kind of
quasi indoor cats too.

357
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,600
They were not outdoor cats.
I rarely saw them outside.

358
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,720
I never really did.
I never, except when they killed

359
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,000
that bird that one time they
jumped up 3 feet in the air.

360
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,200
Oh, the one they did one when we
were Pomeroy was Cassandra

361
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,320
'cause it was a cat bird, and it
kept swooping down.

362
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600
It swooped down to her head.
Catbird.

363
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,800
What is it?
Catbird.

364
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,120
It's.
I don't know.

365
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,960
It's got a little white on the
wings and it's got a.

366
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,440
Little oh, that's an actual
thing.

367
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:56,440
Oh, OK.
Got it.

368
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,440
Yeah, it is.
But anyway, it was flying back

369
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160
and forth and it was going down
and dive bombing her because she

370
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,360
was sitting out on the porch and
she was looking at it and she

371
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,720
was counting and it came down
and she snatched it out of mid

372
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,839
air And I saw it and I was like,
Oh my God.

373
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,800
And she runs right into the
house.

374
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:14,480
I run into the house, she runs
to the back down the hallway and

375
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,240
underneath the bed.
You're hearing the chirping and

376
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,040
the birds and all that.
And they're underneath the bed,

377
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,400
the birds shitting everywhere.
The cat, you know, And I, I

378
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,160
throw the cat out up on the bed
and then she jumps down the

379
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,840
other side.
I see the bird, I fly him up.

380
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,840
He flies into the bathroom.
I shut the bathroom door.

381
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,880
She's at the door beating on the
door, you know, happened there.

382
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,960
And I'm trying to figure out how
to open this little slidy window

383
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,320
because we had a little slot
bathroom that that I could get

384
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,320
the screen off.
I ripped the screen open and

385
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,520
then the bird flew out and
everything was.

386
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,040
Fine, you know.
Oh, OK.

387
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:49,760
That was that.
I'm surprised it lived.

388
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,880
Yeah, well, I mean, he was.
He might have been traumatized

389
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,160
and died of a exploded heart
later.

390
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:56,400
I don't know.
But it.

391
00:17:57,120 --> 00:18:00,640
Was like he was carried in the
bird's mouth for a a little bit.

392
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:07,000
And I mean, cats are not like,
you know, when you see a dog, a

393
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,200
big dog or a bear or a tire or
one of those guys, they grab the

394
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,640
thing and they shake it till
it's dead.

395
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,880
Nap its net.
A cat, a cat just wants to

396
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,120
torture they will.
They will get a mouse and bring

397
00:18:20,120 --> 00:18:23,160
it in and throw it in a little
squarey and pop it and hit it

398
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,040
and torture it and I.
Don't know what that is either.

399
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,720
Yeah, they're just.
It's just.

400
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,480
They're just mean.
Yeah, they're, they're.

401
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,360
Bored.
They're bored animals.

402
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,960
Well, they're getting excitement
out of watching the little thing

403
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,040
try to run away, and then they
just keep bringing it back until

404
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,160
it can't run anymore and it
dies.

405
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,400
Nice.
Nice.

406
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,760
But that's but the the the you
know you.

407
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,040
I didn't.
That's not the focus.

408
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,240
The focus is not on what cats do
that are evil.

409
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,160
It's sort of like.
Remember when I had that

410
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,200
goldfish for 12 years that I
wanted the carnival?

411
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,320
You remember that?
What was his name?

412
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,880
Superfish.
I never properly named him until

413
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,280
I was like 16, but I had that
goldfish for 12.

414
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,760
Years.
Yeah, but I want and.

415
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,680
They come in a garbage can
because they they're in a

416
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,920
garbage can in a bag like, what,
70 other of the the goldfish.

417
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,400
I don't.
Know and you got you won't.

418
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:17,760
You had two goldfish didn't.
You.

419
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,000
I had like five.
Yeah.

420
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,920
They don't have like a weird
disease.

421
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,240
And they all died except for
one.

422
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,080
I thought he kept eating them.
Yeah, I think he kept killing

423
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,240
them too.
I think he had the disease that

424
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,040
they were getting and he would
just beat the hell out of them.

425
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,880
When I went to sleep, I guess,
'cause he was running his face

426
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,080
into him and trying to kill.
Him and and we kept trying to

427
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,280
put more fish in there and he
kept.

428
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:37,680
Like he just killed everything
in there.

429
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,400
Yeah, he's like, he's like a
beta fish or whatever.

430
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,000
What are the ones that kill each
other?

431
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,720
Predator, I guess.
Whatever he Apex, apex,

432
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800
predator.
No, the two fish that fight each

433
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,480
other, there's two fish there.
Fighting Fish of Siam.

434
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,680
No, I think it's the beta fish.
The beta fish also kill each

435
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,600
other.
What about the alpha?

436
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,960
You put two of them in there,
but even then, like you put an

437
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,400
alpha and a beta or two beta and
1A, they will go spine.

438
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,600
What about a crypto?
Oh.

439
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,200
Yeah, really funny.
But yeah, no, I had that fish

440
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,440
for 12 years.
Really.

441
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,360
I'm never gonna forget that.
Oh my God.

442
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,800
I always so proud of myself.
I remember Big Jumbo.

443
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,000
That was another one.
He also killed everything.

444
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,760
It was another.
I mean, you just had nothing but

445
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,120
murderous pets.
No, they were the worst.

446
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,080
Everything you ever got was just
like they were armed with

447
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,760
weapons when they came in our
house.

448
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,680
I remember hearing screaming at
night and I was like, what is,

449
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,760
what is that noise?
And it was hermit crabs

450
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,040
screaming.
And I was.

451
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,360
Like 'cause he was killing them,
he.

452
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,640
Was murdering while I was seven
years old in the sleep.

453
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,560
That's why I'm so a little bit
of The Silence, Silence of the

454
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,960
Lambs, right?
I guess my training really did

455
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:57,520
them well, yeah.
Yeah, but he lasted for until we

456
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:57,960
gave him.
Away.

457
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,440
Yeah.
And then he lived for another

458
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,160
like 8 years.
But I think mom got an e-mail

459
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,040
from the people that we gave
that hermit crab to and she was

460
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,640
like, was he killing the other
hermit crabs?

461
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,560
Because he's killing all hermit
crabs.

462
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,360
And it was it was funny.
Yeah, he was a murderer.

463
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,400
We never went back over there,
looked at him because I think I

464
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,160
had a favorite hermit crab that
wasn't him.

465
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,440
And when that when big jumbo
killed my favorite hermit crab,

466
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,360
I was like, you fucker.
Yeah, you didn't name the Big

467
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:28,880
the other one you named Big
Jumbo.

468
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,360
'Cause it was, it was.
A monster hermit crab, you know,

469
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,160
big jumbo.
There's so much.

470
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:37,840
We have so much interest in our
net.

471
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,360
Well, I mean, think about YUB
YUB.

472
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,440
I mean yub yub for a dog.
When I say that name, people

473
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,680
look at me like they just want
to laugh because it's the old

474
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,280
guy walking the two little dogs.
And it's like, I used to laugh

475
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,760
at people like that and go like,
wow, I'll never be an old man

476
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,800
walking little dogs.
That's so wussy.

477
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,680
And now I'm that guy walking the
two little dogs.

478
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,400
So I always tell people, don't
do that, don't laugh because

479
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,000
that will be you anyway.
The Yub Yub name is like no one.

480
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,120
Do you either know it or you
don't?

481
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,120
I don't know how anybody knew
that because it was so strange

482
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,840
because when I googled it I just
wanted to know not a Magawai

483
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,000
name, what was it?
An Ewok name?

484
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,200
Ewok.
And I was like this is the most

485
00:22:18,360 --> 00:22:20,000
the most thing that it looks
like what?

486
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,840
It's the war dance.
Yeah, it's the song, which I

487
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,960
didn't realize.
I I thought it was a native one.

488
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:27,240
Well, you know when I told Jose
that?

489
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,720
Yeah, he knew what it was.
I said we got a new dog and it's

490
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,680
named Yub Yub.
And he goes Yub Yub and he

491
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,720
starts doing the dance and I was
just like, no.

492
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,320
And I would see this over and
over and over and it's like

493
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,680
people would look at me like,
OK, or they would go Star Wars

494
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,440
and I was just like, what what
you.

495
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
I mean, it was just like.
I'm surprised anybody knew that,

496
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,440
because I never knew that.
It may be a minute and a half of

497
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,360
the whole movie series ever.
And everybody, they just, they

498
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:59,840
were, well, Star Wars was like
one of those addicting things

499
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:01,680
that people like.
To that was, people did love

500
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,560
that.
Yeah.

501
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,160
People did like Star Wars.
Remember the hamster that I had?

502
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,880
You remember that?
Oh yeah.

503
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,920
Yeah, he used to bite that shit
out of me right on the end of

504
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,960
the fingertip, right?
There, another murderer.

505
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,880
Another dangerous one.
You should have put another one

506
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,320
in there, because then he would
have killed that.

507
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,800
Yeah, I don't know why answers
don't love each other.

508
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,920
You think that they would the
way they look, but they don't

509
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,840
like each other.
I think every pet you ever had

510
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,040
one kill something, the only
reason it might have been, you

511
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,760
know maybe you have a psychotic
past or aura that you out you

512
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:34,920
put.
In it might have been me for a

513
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,000
while I thought that it was
something that had to do with

514
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,720
me, but it might have been the
room that might have been a

515
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,880
ghost.
Well, that was the room.

516
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,560
The room that you grew up in is
the room that was.

517
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,680
I saw.
I saw a ghost in there.

518
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,960
You know, yeah, yeah, they might
have been going into the fish

519
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,000
and I don't know.
Maybe so they were freaked out,

520
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,280
killed the ghost.
Yeah, remember the food one?

521
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,160
We bought one from the the fish
grocery store and we we the

522
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,920
sucker one that was going to eat
the all the stuff on the bottom

523
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,240
and they just parted them, you
know, they just don't like it

524
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,840
too.
They killed him the fastest.

525
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:12,680
Yeah, he was.
He was pretty much.

526
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,240
Well, he wasn't their.
Their, I guess, species or he

527
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,240
wasn't their.
Yeah, I realized goldfish are

528
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:18,960
violent.
Yeah.

529
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:20,240
Oh, gosh.
Yeah.

530
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,920
Why are they so violent?
I mean, you grew up in a bag

531
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,320
your whole life.
I guess you're going to be.

532
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,960
Well, I mean there are they are
they related to the carp I?

533
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,440
Don't know which are.
Bottom feeders and Dead thing

534
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,560
eaters and all that stuff like
that and.

535
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,600
Well, they are bottom feeder.
They're only one of the grossest

536
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,120
fish you can own.
Yeah, yeah.

537
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,560
No, that's for sure.
Yeah, but they also, it's like,

538
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,320
it's cheap, so you don't think
much of it.

539
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,400
You get it at a carnival and
you're like, oh, I I go out and

540
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,880
I spend all the money and I
figured it was going to be dead

541
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,720
in a week.
And it was alive for 12 years.

542
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,520
And the other two were alive for
at least five years, which was

543
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,200
even, like, also surprising.
But you know what's funny is I

544
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,440
still have a dream where I have
three goldfish that I haven't

545
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,240
fed in a while and I still need
to go back.

546
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,400
Like, I still have a dream like,
and I'll wake up and I'm like,

547
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,840
fuck, I need to go feed the
goldfish.

548
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,440
I'm like, wait, that's that was
what, 10 years ago?

549
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,680
It's weird.
It's it's bizarre.

550
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,440
I it's true.
The bizarre.

551
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,680
I still have a dream that I
didn't graduate from college and

552
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,600
I'm I'm going to, I have an exam
tomorrow and I'm going to flunk

553
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,840
it.
I've never had that one.

554
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,360
That's mine is like, Oh my God,
I didn't study.

555
00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,680
And I don't know what the topic
is.

556
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,120
And no one gave me a syllabus.
And I start running this through

557
00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:37,080
my mind in the middle of the
night in the dream.

558
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,240
And I'm going like, how am I
going to study for a test if I

559
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,040
don't know what it's on and I
don't know what the topic is?

560
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,560
How am I going to do that?
I'm going to fail.

561
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:43,800
I'm going to fail.
I'm not going to graduate.

562
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,480
I'm not going to graduate.
I'm not going to graduate.

563
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,720
And then I wake up and I'm like,
oh, I'm 6564.

564
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:52,160
Oh my God.
I'm.

565
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,080
Probably not going to graduate,
you know.

566
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:59,800
Wine are are always fish based
and there's one where I remember

567
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,320
having giant fish that were too
almost too big for the tank and

568
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,840
there's water that was spilling
out all of the floor.

569
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,240
And I was like, why?
I was like, why did I put these

570
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,520
big fish in these small tanks?
I was just like looking at them

571
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,160
like why would I have done this?
This was silly.

572
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,960
They grew really, really fast.
Like, they grew faster than I

573
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,840
ever would have thought.
And yeah, well, either that or I

574
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,440
haven't fed them and they're
they're mad at me and they're

575
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,680
trying to talk to me or
something.

576
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,600
And it's bizarre, yeah.
Well, you I I have the crocodile

577
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,400
story with Edwin.
Which one?

578
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,440
Oh well.
He yeah, he raised them for a

579
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,560
long time.
Yeah, and he got the Yeah, he

580
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:32,720
got bit.
Yeah.

581
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,560
The story where he goes into the
pen and he said it was my fault,

582
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,200
he's he's raising crocodiles,
Crocodiles like 130 lbs.

583
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,600
It and it doesn't sound like
that big, but it can jump, it

584
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,000
can jump six to six to seven
feet, you know, just it'll

585
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,960
launch and he goes in there to
feed it.

586
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,600
And the way he fed them, he
opens up the door.

587
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,720
He has a 5 gallon plastic
bucket, you know, and the thing

588
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,480
would lunge for him to eat him
and he would stick it in its

589
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,480
mouth and push it away.
And then he would take whole,

590
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,320
whole chicken part, you know,
chicken parts in there and then

591
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,600
throw it to the the crocodile
and it'd eat him.

592
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,280
And he went in there and he
goes, I missed and it grabbed

593
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,560
them by the hand and it took him
to the ground, he said It

594
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,400
knocked me off my feet.
It took me to the ground and it

595
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,360
started to roll me into the
water and I'm like, holy crap,

596
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,920
you know?
And he said, but I knew that

597
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,680
when a Gator bites you, their
teeth are the reverse.

598
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,120
So the worst thing you can do is
pull away, never pull.

599
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:40,560
You have to, you have to shove
your fist right down their

600
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,400
throat and then they open their
mouth.

601
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:43,680
That's what you're supposed to
do.

602
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,480
But most people, but the
opposite of what people do is

603
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,280
they pull and you literally rip
it.

604
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,680
And he's telling me the story.
And this is just like and he

605
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,320
said, yeah, and I come out and
and he said I get loose and I

606
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,240
get out of there and I shot it.
And I realized that, you know, I

607
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,960
better, I better make a feeding
door.

608
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,360
And I've been saying I need to
make a feeding door forever, and

609
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:00,920
I never.
Made any?

610
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,040
I thought he had one.
He chose not.

611
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,880
He had one afterward.
But he didn't have.

612
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,960
One then, so he goes out and he
goes, you know, I'm sitting

613
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,760
there and and I said, so how
many stitches did you get?

614
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,240
And he goes, I got like 100 and
4000 and 60, something like

615
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,480
that.
And I said, So what did it do?

616
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,200
And I said, well it's my left
arm and it's it's a it's a

617
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,880
couple slashes all the way down
and then there's there's 80

618
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,120
stitches here and 40 stitches
here.

619
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,240
And then my hand was opened up
and so they had to sew back each

620
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,560
muscle and each one of my
fingers so I could use my

621
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,720
fingers again.
There was 5 stitches for each

622
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,800
one of those.
I said your muscles were hanging

623
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,200
out.
He said yeah, it was, it was.

624
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,720
He said it was, definitely.
The photo was crazy.

625
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,120
Maybe that should be the
thumbnail for this?

626
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,240
It was a horror, he said.
It was, It was, he said.

627
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:49,960
I showed it to his kid and his
kid couldn't drive his kid just

628
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,360
like just.
Freaked out.

629
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,280
And he didn't want to call the
ambulance because he didn't have

630
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,040
a license to have a crocodile,
you know and all.

631
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,680
That, yeah, I remember you
showed me the photo and I almost

632
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,040
vomited and it was like, Oh my
God, it was bad.

633
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,080
Yeah, I was like.
Yeah, the good old day.

634
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640
Yeah, we need to put that on
there for lovely puffy animals.

635
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Obviously the thumbnail for this
video that'll get us banned from

636
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Spotify.
Oh, that.

637
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,800
'D be great.
Think about all.

638
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:16,560
Think about all the different
animal things.

639
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,520
That was one.
Another one.

640
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:22,280
Well, we used to go snake
hunting on the Potomac.

641
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,760
That was always interesting.
We had one chase us down the

642
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,400
down the.
Yeah, we had water snakes and we

643
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,240
were out on the Potomac and we'd
go hunting in the rocks and

644
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,600
catch them.
I don't know why we would catch

645
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:34,480
them.
It's kind of silly.

646
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:40,880
We also had a we had bought a
Cayman at the local GC Murphy's.

647
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:45,040
They they sold them for like
$1.99 and we didn't tell my

648
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:50,080
mother and we put it in my our
closet and we had it in a we had

649
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,920
it in a big tub that was maybe 2
feet big round wash tub that.

650
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,280
Was like a pretty good one.
Yeah, and we had it in there,

651
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,160
fat it in there, kept it in
there.

652
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,720
And then she finds it and she
freaked.

653
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,760
She almost, she was kind of
upset when she opened the door

654
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,920
because you couldn't shut it all
the way, but it was kind of

655
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,440
cracked and she went in there
to, you know, when she comes

656
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,960
into her room vacuuming or
something, opens up the door and

657
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,200
just a loud scream and you know.
Next thing get.

658
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,400
That out of my house, get it out
of my house.

659
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,920
She should we get it out of the
house?

660
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,520
We put it outside and then the
next thing you know, he climbed

661
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,040
out of it and he went down the
hill and went in the Creek.

662
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,200
And then a week later, there's a
news story in the Potomac News

663
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,160
that Kid finds Gator in Creek.
Oh, wow.

664
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,040
You could have made the invasive
species, but they would have

665
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,800
died out there.
He would have died in pretty,

666
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was just sort of like,

667
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,800
wow, somebody found this there.
And he made the Potomac news at

668
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,800
the time, which was kind of an
interesting little thing.

669
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,080
And we thought it was ours.
I don't know.

670
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,200
It could have been somebody
else's.

671
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,880
But you know, well, that's why
I'm taking credit.

672
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:51,960
That's what we do.
We take credit for everything.

673
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,240
That's why he went on to raise
him, I think.

674
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,160
I think that's why but.
Any other pursuit of Sure, we

675
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,680
had a dog, Shirley, that was
named after Shirley Highway.

676
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,320
I remember you telling me about
that whole.

677
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,960
Time, yeah.
My mother was driving home one

678
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,840
time and the traffic's wall to
wall traffic.

679
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,680
She's coming South and this dog
just bolts past her and it just

680
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,840
had.
It is a mother, you know, maybe

681
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,600
a 10-11 months old that just had
six or eight pups and it runs

682
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,360
past her and then she's driving
and she's looking and looking

683
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,080
and she opens up the door and it
just jumps right in and she has,

684
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,000
of course, a happy cheeseburger
in the front, Bang.

685
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,800
And he eats that and the dogs
and that's it.

686
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,560
That was our dog.
We did that over and over and

687
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:31,760
over.
That's usually how we got

688
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,160
animals.
So we got a we we we had to get

689
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,160
barn kitties and stuff like
that.

690
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,320
And I mean YUB.
YUB was the first one we

691
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:39,960
actually bought.
Yeah.

692
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,200
Yeah, I'd never bought an animal
in my life.

693
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,240
And that was like, oh, let's go
get a purebred Havanese.

694
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,080
And then we got another one's
Havanese, I think, but he might.

695
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,120
Be a little.
I don't know about that.

696
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,800
He's some weird thing.
Yeah, he's a long legged

697
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,600
Havanese.
But they're both like they they

698
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,960
are together like this they.
They fit, yeah.

699
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,720
I mean, you know, wow, they are
good.

700
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,720
But I think that's going to wrap
up the episode here.

701
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Yeah, I think that we're going
to, we're going to start to

702
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:06,160
wrap.
Up.

703
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,040
We love animals.
We do Animals make us happy.

704
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,680
They make me happy that I get
joy out of them all the time

705
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,720
just to do a whole life change
person.

706
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,600
Yeah.
I mean, it's just it's.

707
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:18,720
You're a big change person,
yeah.

708
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,280
Yeah, so.
So you need to get a pet animal.

709
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,720
No.
I don't.

710
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,280
I think you need a a baby
dinosaur.

711
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,880
I was thinking I'd get a small
monkey.

712
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,840
I think because I've been seeing
these things where those are

713
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,280
like they have monkey in the
house.

714
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,040
You might as well get a friggin
skunk.

715
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,000
And it goes on the the trapeze
and stuff and it's so cool.

716
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,120
Yeah, I love that idea and.
Then it grows up and rips your

717
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:41,520
face off.
No, no.

718
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:42,800
I only want that are like this
tall.

719
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,240
I'd only want one that's like
this tall.

720
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,280
He will find big one.
He'll find your gun or your

721
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,760
knife and it'll stab you that.
Would not surprise me.

722
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,280
And he will smoke cigarettes in
your in your in.

723
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,920
Well, I'm going to teach him how
to smoke cigarettes.

724
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,160
That's the whole point of the
monkey.

725
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,720
So when I quit smoking, at least
I can watch somebody smoking.

726
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Yeah, you see that On the other
what is it?

727
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:04,840
Where do you see that?
About The Simpsons is the way

728
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,400
you're talking about.
I love that.

729
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,040
It's like a monkey.
Wow.

730
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:13,760
All right, well, we have AQ and
a section in our Spotify now, so

731
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,800
if you guys have any questions,
we always have answers.

732
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,560
So we're going to wrap up.
None of them are right though.

733
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,160
It's the what was it?
The 5th episode here already on

734
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,040
season.
We're rocking, man.

735
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,240
Isn't that crazy?
We're we're going, we're going

736
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,200
to town.
And Yep, and we're doing it.

737
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,880
But we'll see you next time.
Yeah, we, we should be featured

738
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,800
on Joe Rogan really soon.
Really.

739
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Really soon.
Maybe two episodes from now.

740
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,200
I think we can do it.
I think it's manageable, but I

741
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,240
think our stardom is going to
to.

742
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:41,840
Really.
It's skyrocket.

743
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,920
Well, you're the executive
producer, Sir.

744
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,040
We need to have credits run
afterward.

745
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,760
I was thinking an intro, an
intro, some thematic song intro

746
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,520
that we would.
Well if anybody has suggestion

747
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:57,240
for an intro, I could think of
many but they would be they turn

748
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,480
people off but I.
I could think of many as well.

749
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,240
All right.
Well, you guys have a wonderful

750
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:10,520
day here.
GFY it is 132024.

751
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Wonderful day out there,
everybody.
