00:00:03.454 --> 00:00:09.066
Well, well, well, pat, oh, damn what.

00:00:09.708 --> 00:00:10.289
My caribou.

00:00:10.289 --> 00:00:12.858
He's whipped out a caribou on the table.

00:00:12.858 --> 00:00:19.844
Dude, I love this knife so much I actually, if you pull it right out of your pocket, it's just open it auto-ejects.

00:00:19.844 --> 00:00:22.248
Yep, I have that problem myself.

00:00:24.166 --> 00:00:25.730
Auto-eject I don't think you do.

00:00:25.730 --> 00:00:29.006
I think you have three kids, hey.

00:00:29.727 --> 00:00:32.192
It happens.

00:00:33.194 --> 00:00:37.566
Anyways, I've been having dreams since I got my dog.

00:00:37.566 --> 00:00:40.728
Almost every night I dream that I have to kill another dog.

00:00:40.728 --> 00:00:57.789
Like I'm having the dream I'm walking my dog, uh-huh, and some dog comes at us out of the darkness and latches onto my dog and I just immediately go for this and I'm just stabbing that dog and I don't know like.

00:00:57.789 --> 00:00:59.171
What's that say about?

00:00:59.171 --> 00:01:09.935
Like, when something comes into your life and all of a sudden you just love it a lot and it totally changes your whole psychology and how you view like and like what you're worried about.

00:01:09.935 --> 00:01:15.212
Because, like my other, before I got this dog dude, my stress dreams were teeth falling out.

00:01:15.212 --> 00:01:17.546
That was my stress dream.

00:01:19.960 --> 00:01:26.424
And that one that happens a lot of people, that one that happens a lot of people.

00:01:26.424 --> 00:01:33.328
I think that, uh, when you I'm sure that someone educated has something to say about this, but what I'm gonna say about it is that you know just what you're thinking about.

00:01:33.328 --> 00:01:55.590
The things that are on your mind is what comes up in your dreams, and the end, like because you you're also you're putting in a lot of time and effort on this, but you know, in on this blending of the family, on this bringing in a ruffian off the street that needs a little extra love, yeah, she's a good girl, though, for sure, for sure.

00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:01.111
She just is a big wussy when it comes to the stairs, mm-hmm.

00:02:01.111 --> 00:02:11.665
And before we get too far going, I guess we should just welcome our listeners to season three of the mickey pat show officially.

00:02:11.665 --> 00:02:14.573
Yeah, this, this is officially episode one of season three.

00:02:14.573 --> 00:02:17.266
Guess how many episodes we have out right now?

00:02:17.266 --> 00:02:17.929
You should, probably.

00:02:17.929 --> 00:02:18.610
You should know this.

00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:21.284
How many episodes are in our playlist without looking it up?

00:02:22.227 --> 00:02:27.277
I mean, I don't 150 no, is that over that's?

00:02:27.277 --> 00:02:27.478
Over.

00:02:27.478 --> 00:02:27.938
That's more.

00:02:27.938 --> 00:02:33.131
Yeah, but we're like because sometimes we're for a while back back that we were running two a week.

00:02:33.131 --> 00:02:35.944
We did a little bit, we did some two a week for a while, you know.

00:02:35.944 --> 00:02:38.951
So have we had our hundredth yet?

00:02:38.951 --> 00:02:40.201
Oh yeah, all right.

00:02:40.201 --> 00:02:44.390
So so we're in between one, so 125, we want 125.

00:02:44.390 --> 00:02:45.453
Then I'm splitting the difference.

00:02:45.473 --> 00:02:52.920
I think we're at 113 after, after two years, which is you know more than two, that's more than one episode a week.

00:02:52.920 --> 00:03:00.400
Yeah, so technically we come out ahead, we come out staying on on track with our, our schedule.

00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.163
That's weird, man.

00:03:02.163 --> 00:03:02.905
It's crazy to think.

00:03:02.905 --> 00:03:10.300
For like the last two years we've pretty much had four episodes a month of us just talking to each other, blast it out into the internet.

00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:15.350
It's a lot just for, like the world to like listen to.

00:03:15.891 --> 00:03:16.834
We've done quite a few of these.

00:03:16.834 --> 00:03:23.127
It's been a lot of time doing, you know, some talking.

00:03:23.127 --> 00:03:25.111
For sure it's been a.

00:03:25.111 --> 00:03:36.274
I think what we're shorting some of our people, though, is certainly uh, and to no fault of your own, but maybe me would be brews and reviews content.

00:03:37.043 --> 00:03:38.248
Brews and reviews content.

00:03:38.248 --> 00:03:42.844
People out there don't know what movies to watch, what tv shows are worth their lost, they're lost they're just.

00:03:42.844 --> 00:03:46.112
They're just drinking Coors Banquet because they're afraid to buy a bad beer.

00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:57.686
Yep and the like I will say we are failing people because there's just so much out there and it's all crap.

00:03:57.686 --> 00:04:07.947
There's so much bad stuff out there I gotta get to work on, you know, like bad movies, just stuff that's not worth your time.

00:04:07.947 --> 00:04:13.027
You know, oh yeah, and so the I don't know.

00:04:13.027 --> 00:04:13.748
I guess that's part of it.

00:04:13.748 --> 00:04:14.150
It's hard to.

00:04:14.150 --> 00:04:25.404
I don't know Like everybody I talk to will be like this new show, but they're all saying like different shows, there's a lot of stuff out there.

00:04:25.404 --> 00:04:27.473
Do you see that episode of seinfeld last week?

00:04:27.473 --> 00:04:28.822
I was like, oh yeah, of course you know.

00:04:28.822 --> 00:04:31.130
Did you watch seinfeld serioli?

00:04:31.130 --> 00:04:33.759
Like not, as it came out, because I was.

00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:43.613
I was gonna say you were young, but I do know, like like my dad and his friends they were primate because, like it was just, that was free tv.

00:04:43.913 --> 00:04:51.012
That was like what you got the only thing was on right and you didn't need cable for sure but just the sheer amount of stuff that's just pumping out.

00:04:51.012 --> 00:05:04.552
Yeah, I'm just like I have trouble keeping up with it all um well, I just want to say, man, I've enjoyed doing it with you.

00:05:04.552 --> 00:05:05.334
Me too.

00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:19.040
And I enjoy now that we are in the final stretch in home runs, because we joked in season one early on that we would get our wives to become best friends and hang out and just do stuff.

00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:35.269
And now every time we do the podcast, our wives are hanging out at your place doing stuff like a craft night tonight that's true, and we've even at times changed the schedule of the show to accommodate to our wife's friendship yeah so there you go, it's, pretty crazy.

00:05:35.850 --> 00:05:36.490
It's pretty crazy.

00:05:36.490 --> 00:05:38.601
So what's what's the next uh thing?

00:05:38.641 --> 00:05:49.485
we need to uh, you know, speak into the future uh, I think the next thing that we need is here's my next goal now for the podcast it's a big one.

00:05:49.485 --> 00:05:53.586
Alright, that we get invited to like a panel thing.

00:05:53.586 --> 00:06:03.627
Okay, like someone has us come to a beer con or something, we sit in like panel Panel judge or whatever.

00:06:04.201 --> 00:06:12.363
And I hope it's something that for some reason goes wildly viral that we don't know anything about, but it just gets out of control.

00:06:12.363 --> 00:06:14.288
Like you know, we're just it.

00:06:14.288 --> 00:06:16.733
Just I just said something.

00:06:16.733 --> 00:06:17.922
It got a little crazy.

00:06:17.922 --> 00:06:24.411
People heard it and now we're now we found ourselves, like you know, doing something like they you know, it sounds like you know.

00:06:24.411 --> 00:06:25.619
Like you know, it sounds like you know.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:26.440
Like we get.

00:06:26.440 --> 00:06:27.985
We get invited to review.

00:06:27.985 --> 00:06:30.529
Like to like a Singapore beer Kong.

00:06:30.529 --> 00:06:37.588
Exactly, exactly, and we're like, like you mispronounce the way you say, like hello, and like what is Singapore's language?

00:06:37.588 --> 00:06:40.624
Is it Thai?

00:06:40.624 --> 00:06:42.348
I don't know.

00:06:42.348 --> 00:06:43.031
You should look it up.

00:06:43.031 --> 00:06:45.093
It's like it's a it's an iteration of like Vietnamese.

00:06:45.093 --> 00:06:48.730
It's an iteration of Vietnamese which is an iteration of Chinese, I'm pretty sure.

00:06:51.343 --> 00:06:52.689
You might have just made a lot of people.

00:06:52.689 --> 00:06:55.526
I know this, I know that.

00:06:56.641 --> 00:06:59.170
Vietnamese uses the same characters as the Chinese alphabet.

00:07:00.581 --> 00:07:02.706
Malay, malaysia, singapore, malay.

00:07:03.048 --> 00:07:03.387
Thai.

00:07:03.387 --> 00:07:07.427
Okay, come on, guys, there we go.

00:07:07.427 --> 00:07:10.139
You pronounced the wrong thing wrong.

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.749
You pretty much just tell them all to go bend over.

00:07:14.064 --> 00:07:22.168
That's why it's or like they all think, that you are Like the Beer man, the pinnacle expert of it, and you're standing there.

00:07:22.168 --> 00:07:42.711
And you get up for the speech and you're just like Tastes, like pine, cum write it down hey, I think a lot of people have found themselves in that situation where, like not, and maybe not that drastically the expert, exactly, yeah, we're 100, just faking it till they make it.

00:07:42.711 --> 00:07:44.504
You know how they end up here.

00:07:44.504 --> 00:07:45.088
They don't know.

00:07:45.088 --> 00:07:45.961
But bro, dude.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:52.553
I had just finished my data science program and I was just, I just knew how LinkedIn worked.

00:07:52.553 --> 00:07:56.980
I was just like, even today, right now, like I got, I'm a special LinkedIn account.

00:07:56.980 --> 00:08:05.283
Like you don't get to request me to be a connection, you get to follow me.

00:08:05.283 --> 00:08:12.971
Oh, wow, like, so, like I, I monetized the linkedin like networking because I was like I need a job and this is a great way to do it.

00:08:13.982 --> 00:08:23.994
Um and uh, I was getting invitations to speak at like online press things in like 2021 at like because of covid and all that.

00:08:23.994 --> 00:08:35.870
Oh wow like talk to our, like our students talk to our, like you know, computer science, data science students, and I was like all right, nice, and like I was sick I meant to.

00:08:35.931 --> 00:08:43.230
I was on a program where people were like mentor, like give your time, and mentor like, uh, like people of color who want to get into data science.

00:08:43.230 --> 00:08:43.831
I was like sweet.

00:08:43.831 --> 00:08:45.985
So I was like mentoring some people in Africa for a while.

00:08:45.985 --> 00:08:46.647
I love it.

00:08:46.647 --> 00:08:47.870
Yeah, it was cool, I like it.

00:08:47.870 --> 00:08:55.410
It'd be kind of like I was totally like I mean, I knew what I was talking about but I had no like history or credentials to support it.

00:08:55.410 --> 00:08:57.749
It's like the movie Big it was Tom Hanks.

00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:10.344
He's just like yeah, but now he's like finds himself in the c-suite.

00:09:10.364 --> 00:09:12.089
Yeah, he's in the c-suite, like presenting and like, dude, that's a great.

00:09:12.089 --> 00:09:15.658
And then the rubber beats the road and it's like you're standing there like what a great movie that would never be made today.

00:09:15.658 --> 00:09:23.312
Yeah, like because she totally has sex with him and then she finds out later he was just a kid in a man's body.

00:09:23.592 --> 00:09:28.240
Yep, and like that was that one never will go the other direction.

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:39.710
To never be made today three you know, relevantly wise as an adult, looking at it with, like my eyes now, yeah, it's weird I will say weird thing back in the day.

00:09:39.791 --> 00:09:43.205
It did go the other way too, though, with the movie 13 going on 30.

00:09:43.205 --> 00:09:46.071
Oh it did, didn't it?

00:09:46.071 --> 00:09:54.605
Yeah, I don't know if it went quite all the way as that scene did, though we're like I'll say this I saw the movie big at a relatively young age.

00:09:54.605 --> 00:09:58.011
I saw it at like five yeah, and it's like this he's.

00:09:58.513 --> 00:10:02.206
I do have a memory of tom hanks grabbing a.

00:10:02.206 --> 00:10:04.730
He opens her shirt and he's grabbing the bra boob.

00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:07.703
Yeah, it's a covered boob, but the bra he's not sure how to grab it.

00:10:07.703 --> 00:10:13.006
It's kind of now I'd watch it and be like this is funny, watching like a like a kid try to figure out what to do.

00:10:13.006 --> 00:10:17.427
But as a child I was like what the fuck are they doing?

00:10:21.629 --> 00:10:22.592
And I was old enough.

00:10:22.592 --> 00:10:26.282
I was like, like I said, I was six years old, like I remember, like it had the vhs.

00:10:26.282 --> 00:10:31.075
I was like go back to dancing on piano keys, go back rewind.

00:10:31.075 --> 00:10:32.860
Yeah, why are they doing this?

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:32.900
I?

00:10:32.921 --> 00:10:34.148
was at that age where it was in the middle.

00:10:34.148 --> 00:10:35.515
Like this isn't good mom?

00:10:35.535 --> 00:10:36.220
why is he joking?

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:38.503
Why are they fighting?

00:10:40.424 --> 00:10:44.528
oh my god and so, anyways, all right.

00:10:44.528 --> 00:10:46.610
In a couple of years we'll find ourselves there.

00:10:46.631 --> 00:10:47.131
We'll be on a panel.

00:10:47.131 --> 00:10:48.173
We'll be on a panel.

00:10:48.173 --> 00:11:02.990
Anyways, we're talking about stuff, doggy I got a doggy now, yep, and the dog is awesome.

00:11:02.990 --> 00:11:04.746
Anatolian Shepherd.

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:12.363
She's 11 months, 80 pounds, a big, big doggy.

00:11:12.383 --> 00:11:14.027
I didn't realize she was supposed to kind of such a puppy.

00:11:14.027 --> 00:11:15.269
She is 11 months, they say.

00:11:15.269 --> 00:11:15.711
They're like.

00:11:15.711 --> 00:11:23.706
They say they don't start coming out of the puppy brain until like 18 months, like it's full grown, but still.

00:11:24.089 --> 00:11:24.230
Well.

00:11:24.230 --> 00:11:25.720
They say more or, but still more or less.

00:11:26.602 --> 00:11:27.888
They say you can't run with them.

00:11:27.888 --> 00:11:30.402
Actually the shepherd dogs like that.

00:11:30.402 --> 00:11:39.426
You can't run until their past 18 months because their bone plates, like for their joints, haven't finished growing all the way.

00:11:39.426 --> 00:11:42.730
And if you run with them while they're too young they just get premature arthritis.

00:11:43.760 --> 00:11:46.967
I could say it's especially like when I'm on pavement and I'm running major on.

00:11:46.967 --> 00:11:52.248
They're made to run in the, in the dirt, in the grassy hills yeah, well, I mean to put it in perspective.

00:11:52.268 --> 00:12:02.311
If you people you know at home, if our, if our kin are listening, look up a great pyrenees or um anatolian shepherd versus coyotes.

00:12:02.311 --> 00:12:04.153
There was Shepard vs Coyotes.

00:12:04.153 --> 00:12:05.134
There was this video, bro.

00:12:05.134 --> 00:12:25.149
It went viral a while ago Some farmer here in the US he went outside and his great Pyrenees, that he had just bought two days before, stood by him to confront these 13 coyotes and killed eight of them in the span of under two minutes and then ran off after the rest of them.

00:12:25.149 --> 00:12:26.618
He's span of like under two minutes and then like, ran off after the rest of them.

00:12:26.618 --> 00:12:29.285
He's like that dog's dead, damn, and he was sad.

00:12:29.285 --> 00:12:31.842
Two days later comes back just covered in blood.

00:12:31.842 --> 00:12:40.846
I love it, just matted and um, those animals like, yeah, like they're, like, they are true livestock guardian dogs, but mine is not.

00:12:40.846 --> 00:12:42.508
Mine is not.

00:12:42.508 --> 00:12:45.412
She's a big sweet girl who loves pets.

00:12:45.412 --> 00:12:51.548
She's way more pets motivated than food motivated which is a good thing I like a big dog, that doesn't.

00:12:51.789 --> 00:12:53.880
That's not like a fat big dog, you know what I mean.

00:12:53.880 --> 00:13:04.441
Like she, she is happy to get her treats and meal time, but like she would, she will jump through hoops just to have you rub her belly, and a dog that's not controlled by its stomach is good.

00:13:04.721 --> 00:13:22.466
Oh yeah, like, because like very not reactive, yeah because you can use treats to train any dog, but then especially like, yeah, a dog who's like you know they're not going to be snapping at a kid when it comes by the bowl, and stuff like that yeah, dude, those big dogs, those shepherd dogs, um, my dad had a friend who's a family ranch.

00:13:22.706 --> 00:13:42.586
They would send out, um, a whole pack of great pyrenees really just to defend the herd out on this huge ranch and they would just send them out for days at a time and, yeah, they would run down coyotes, the pack together where they'd run down a coyote full speed, grab it by the back of the neck, flip it over.

00:13:42.586 --> 00:13:50.278
The pack would jump on it and just kill it and just keep rolling and they would just protect all the livestock.

00:13:50.278 --> 00:13:52.804
And they'd come back in after being out.

00:13:52.804 --> 00:13:56.221
Like you said, they're just covered and a great parent is just like a pure white dog.

00:13:56.221 --> 00:13:57.466
They'd come in just covered in blood.

00:13:57.466 --> 00:14:00.964
They'd just hose them down outside, let them rest for a few days with the family.

00:14:00.964 --> 00:14:02.869
Chill, a chill relaxed dog.

00:14:02.990 --> 00:14:04.331
We'll never bite your kid Hanging out.

00:14:04.331 --> 00:14:06.613
Yeah, few days with the family chill, the chill, relaxed dog will never bite your kid hanging out yeah, wonderful dog.

00:14:06.613 --> 00:14:09.894
And then, when it's time to go to work again, they just sick them out there how do they?

00:14:10.075 --> 00:14:10.416
I've?

00:14:10.416 --> 00:14:23.077
I was looking, I was seeing how the someone was showing like how the great, how the anatolians play and like they play practice the neck break, bite right.

00:14:23.077 --> 00:14:24.702
But I don't know you're saying they flip.

00:14:24.702 --> 00:14:27.894
You've seen the Like the Great Pyrenees Flip them over and what?

00:14:27.914 --> 00:14:28.679
Well, that's what I mean.

00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:36.826
Like they run them down, get they reach over, grab them on the back of the neck, flip them so it is a neck breaking bite, and then they make sure it's dead, oh yeah.

00:14:38.110 --> 00:14:38.191
Dude.

00:14:38.191 --> 00:14:39.299
The farmer was like he killed.

00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:46.052
He killed the first three coyotes in 30 seconds, just breakneck, breakneck, breakneck.

00:14:46.052 --> 00:14:47.474
And I was like holy shit.

00:14:47.474 --> 00:15:00.121
And then it shows a picture of the dog right, it's got like one white eye and it's just like one ear, is like no fur on it anymore and I'm like that's a freaking monster dude, that thing is a machine dude, uh.

00:15:00.121 --> 00:15:01.822
But anyways, I love her.

00:15:01.822 --> 00:15:15.917
She's terrified of the stairs, though man Straight up like whines, whimpers, shakes, refuses, will like freeze, tense up, spring around to try to get away from the stairs, you know what I mean.

00:15:15.917 --> 00:15:23.232
And so I carried her up on them and stuff and tried to get her to come down and she just panicked, slid down, ran down them, kind of.

00:15:23.232 --> 00:15:25.837
She just panicked, slid down, ran down him, kind of.

00:15:25.837 --> 00:15:36.870
And it just sucks because you don't want her to think poorly of you or start to mistrust you, because one, they are insanely smart dogs.

00:15:36.870 --> 00:15:41.051
They are very emotional dogs, which is weird.

00:15:41.051 --> 00:15:43.125
I've never had a dog pout like that.

00:15:43.508 --> 00:15:44.048
You know what I mean.

00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:54.673
I've just seen dogs demonstrate like affection, confusion, uh, fear, and like desire.

00:15:54.673 --> 00:15:55.315
You know what I mean.

00:15:55.315 --> 00:15:59.056
Like those are the things, like those are the four things you usually see almost all dogs do.

00:15:59.056 --> 00:16:07.585
Like this dog will straight up like pout and and I think she can be spiteful and I think, like it's one of those.

00:16:07.686 --> 00:16:10.159
It's really weird Like she has like a full attitude.

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:16.793
And so, all that said, I did a little bit of shopping around today.

00:16:16.793 --> 00:16:32.042
Man Called up some dog trainers, got their quotes on what it would be to come to my house and help me teach my dog how to go up the stairs, what it would be to come to my house and help me teach my dog how to go up the stairs and like, not do, like you know, harm to her or anything and not hurt our, her, trust in me or respect for me as the pack leader.

00:16:32.042 --> 00:16:33.524
Right dude.

00:16:33.524 --> 00:16:36.172
First quote, take a guess.

00:16:36.172 --> 00:16:42.644
First quote for coming to my home dog, dog behavior therapist one appointment or like for, like a whole package.

00:16:42.784 --> 00:16:45.749
Well, it's kind of yeah, I guess that's a little misleading right.

00:16:45.749 --> 00:16:47.410
The whole thing is like they.

00:16:47.410 --> 00:16:53.207
It's a one-time upfront cost for the lifetime of the dog and they'll just come to your house and do training.

00:16:53.207 --> 00:16:58.260
Oh, if it's lifetime for the dog but it's like one of those things like how often are you gonna call them when your dog's five or older.

00:16:58.301 --> 00:16:59.582
that'd be like 1500 bucks.

00:16:59.582 --> 00:17:03.409
Yeah, 16, it was like 1690, yeah1,500.

00:17:03.409 --> 00:17:06.934
So okay, yeah, but which is also like a lot of money.

00:17:06.934 --> 00:17:12.250
That's a shitload of money up front, especially for like learning to go up the stairs.

00:17:12.539 --> 00:17:15.269
Well, and the thing is, my dog is doing great with sit.

00:17:15.269 --> 00:17:18.749
She's doing great with, you know, house trained, oh yeah.

00:17:18.749 --> 00:17:23.555
So like, yeah, she knows when to go potty and she's not had any mistakes.

00:17:23.555 --> 00:17:31.105
She doesn't chew on slippers, she's not trying to dart off the leash when we're outside, so it's like all the other stuff she's got.

00:17:31.105 --> 00:17:36.993
I just want her to use the damn stairs so that way, like I know in a fire, I can get her out or something.

00:17:36.993 --> 00:17:37.556
You know what I mean.

00:17:38.298 --> 00:17:52.244
Yeah, cause it's like it's debilitating for her, it's like, and I, I was gonna bring her here tonight, but she can't go up the damn stairs.

00:17:52.244 --> 00:17:52.988
It's hard for you, it's hard for her.

00:17:52.988 --> 00:18:15.840
And so it's like, definitely, and yeah, I wondered like, uh, from a business owner perspective, that's kind of why I threw that number out there, because it'd be like, you know, especially lifetime of a dog, because, man, you're gonna have a lot of clients you go to four times, or let's say, you have a lot of clients you go to 10 times, so it's like 125 a session, but then you're gonna have that lady that just I would never offer a lifetime of the dog thing because I'd be every single week having some strict nine least treats.

00:18:15.881 --> 00:18:16.340
You know what I mean.

00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:22.089
Like yeah, like on that 118th visit that year, like what have I done to myself?

00:18:22.089 --> 00:18:36.528
But at the same time, the like yes, that's why I threw that number out there from a business perspective, but then from a consumer, pet owner perspective, it's pretty brutal, you know.

00:18:36.528 --> 00:18:39.221
It's like that's a chunk of change, you know.

00:18:40.164 --> 00:18:47.436
Well, here's the thing though it's a corporation they're licensed in, like the whole US internationalS international.

00:18:47.436 --> 00:18:51.519
Oh, I see, and they just happen to have two of their trainers that they partner with in Colorado.

00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.986
That trainer's not making that money.

00:18:53.146 --> 00:18:54.786
Nope, the trainer's not making that money.

00:18:54.786 --> 00:19:04.211
The trainer's getting paid a salary that you know the rest of the money and stuff being paid across the world going into this organization.

00:19:04.211 --> 00:19:13.839
So, anyways, I was like, all right, let me look up some people who have like these credentials and can you know, back them up with like the training.

00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:30.406
So I found a doctor, a doctor, doggy, behavioral psychiatrist and she's like here's how you know she's good at it, she's older, she's like past the age of retirement, okay, and she's been doing it for 40 years.

00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:32.925
That and the reviews.

00:19:32.925 --> 00:19:34.766
How many years is that in dog years?

00:19:34.766 --> 00:19:35.409
Oh shit.

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:37.707
Generations of dogs know about her.

00:19:37.707 --> 00:19:40.560
She's been passed down, named, no.

00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:42.243
Here's the big thing about it, too is that.

00:19:42.243 --> 00:19:46.151
This is why I really got excited about it.

00:19:46.151 --> 00:19:47.755
She's a trainer.

00:19:47.755 --> 00:20:01.381
She's got all this like pedigree stuff regarding, like you know, organizations she's worked for and all that, but she consistently trains award-winning dogs, okay, and she's local.

00:20:01.381 --> 00:20:15.729
And so I was like, damn, that's actually way more of like a pedigree, you know thing than like Joe Schmoe, who's like I have my class at the park and like I'll drive to your house and teach her.

00:20:16.141 --> 00:20:23.808
So, anyways, I called her up, this frigging fountain of wisdom, doggy knowledge lady, and I say, hey, doc, here's the situation with my dog.

00:20:23.808 --> 00:20:28.686
She's a sweet girl, no reactive bad behavior, uh.

00:20:28.686 --> 00:20:34.686
But she's just terrified of these stairs and I don't want to hurt her, I don't want to scare her or damage her trust.

00:20:34.686 --> 00:20:37.240
I just need to know if I'm doing the right thing and you can tell me.

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.544
But I think you gotta come to my house to do it.

00:20:39.544 --> 00:20:48.605
She's like 200 bucks December 3rd I'll be there and I was like, oh, fucking deal bro Are you kidding me?

00:20:49.861 --> 00:20:51.345
200 bucks versus 16?

00:20:51.345 --> 00:20:53.571
Oh yeah, 17, basically.

00:20:53.900 --> 00:21:00.490
And because in one session they'll teach you all you need to know three to five techniques.

00:21:00.490 --> 00:21:04.550
You will learn that in that session and then you just work on it.

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.477
Yeah exactly techniques.

00:21:05.477 --> 00:21:06.405
Yeah, you will learn that in that session and then you just work on it.

00:21:06.405 --> 00:21:07.744
Yeah, exactly so.

00:21:07.765 --> 00:21:21.701
Um, anyways, I just know we were talking about scouting around for a deal cutting out middleman and I was like I'm not paying some interstate international corpo when I could just go direct to an expert and, just you know, schedule time with them.

00:21:21.701 --> 00:21:26.965
So call around folks, do your research, cut out the middleman, save yourself a dime.

00:21:26.965 --> 00:21:40.316
Um, but with that Pat, something I really enjoyed seeing that last night you had the pleasure of setting up Christmas lights with your boys.

00:21:40.316 --> 00:21:52.152
This is true, and I would love to hear what that's like, because I set up christmas lights a couple strings of them with my wife, yep and uh, it was great, I gave.

00:21:52.152 --> 00:21:56.387
I looked her dead in the eyes while she was holding the lights and making sure the ladder didn't tip over.

00:21:56.387 --> 00:22:01.106
Actually, let me say this this is a brief, short, funny story, you'll appreciate it.

00:22:01.106 --> 00:22:08.667
Her and my mother, so her mother-in-law, go to the store to buy our first ladder as a married couple, let's go.

00:22:08.708 --> 00:22:09.288
That's a step.

00:22:09.288 --> 00:22:12.134
That's a step up, several steps up, wow, nice.

00:22:13.761 --> 00:22:24.130
And I say, hey, you should probably get this one Now, and this is not me being right or anything, I'm just like you should probably get this one, because I I think the other one is going to be a little too short.

00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:26.739
She's like, well, I don't think we can fit it in my car.

00:22:26.739 --> 00:22:31.493
I was like, well, you got a rack and it makes sense, why not buy some roof ties?

00:22:31.955 --> 00:22:32.778
and ratchet clips.

00:22:32.838 --> 00:22:38.992
Yeah, because like we need it, we need those too, right yeah and so lo and behold, though, what do they come home with?

00:22:38.992 --> 00:22:42.965
Not the eight foot ladder, but the six foot ladder that fits in the car.

00:22:43.207 --> 00:22:44.808
That is not tall enough.

00:22:44.969 --> 00:23:01.327
And then, as soon as it got folded out, they knew it was not tall enough, and it was a bummer thing of oh it's not tall enough, we're not going to get Christmas lights up tonight and I was like you and me will go back with the four runner, we'll return this and get the one that's big enough and we'll get ratchet clamps if we need to.

00:23:01.327 --> 00:23:06.333
Then we if we need to, and we went and it was not like a I was right, you were wrong thing, I was like I.

00:23:06.333 --> 00:23:08.095
It was genuinely like a light-hearted thing.

00:23:08.095 --> 00:23:12.990
I was like how often do you think they see a wife come in, buy something after thinking it through, go home?

00:23:14.013 --> 00:23:20.681
one hour later she's back with her husband with the bigger car returning to getting the bigger one, like I was like how do you think you know it was, it was not a.

00:23:20.681 --> 00:23:22.883
She didn't feel like it was me making fun of her in front of her right.

00:23:22.883 --> 00:23:23.323
You know, it was not a.

00:23:23.323 --> 00:23:26.425
She didn't feel like it was me making fun of her Right, and it was just kind of funny.

00:23:26.425 --> 00:23:34.472
And then while we were carrying the ladder out, I was like I can't remember how to freaking get ratchet clamps started, right, and I was looking at a video.

00:23:34.472 --> 00:23:38.596
I was like these are not the same ratchet clamps I got, like mine are a different design.

00:23:38.596 --> 00:23:40.461
How do I get these things going?

00:23:40.461 --> 00:23:46.374
And while I'm fiddling around with him, trying to get him started so I could ratchet, put it on my roof, dude Farmer Bob rolls up.

00:23:47.503 --> 00:23:51.690
His name was Greg and he's like you guys just buy a ladder.

00:23:51.690 --> 00:23:53.286
I was like, yep, and he's an old guy.

00:23:53.286 --> 00:23:56.749
He's got a Pepsi can in the bed of his truck.

00:23:56.749 --> 00:23:57.451
That's older than me.

00:23:57.451 --> 00:23:58.825
He's not really that old.

00:23:58.825 --> 00:24:00.519
I shouldn't say that, especially in case he's listening.

00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:11.023
He's a really nice guy To a different generation yeah, yeah, and I was like, yeah, just trying to figure out how to get these straps going, but we got to get this ladder back so we could put up christmas lights.

00:24:11.365 --> 00:24:13.721
He's like all right and then he kind of moseys away and then he comes back.

00:24:13.721 --> 00:24:15.164
He's like where you live.

00:24:15.164 --> 00:24:18.412
I was like over here on right next to the high school.

00:24:18.412 --> 00:24:21.267
He's like, oh, I'm just down the corner from there with the red silo.

00:24:21.267 --> 00:24:26.260
I'm like, oh well, he's like, throw it in the truck, I'll drive it out over, I'll pull you out.

00:24:26.280 --> 00:24:27.242
I was like, all right, sick.

00:24:27.242 --> 00:24:28.547
We were rolling over there.

00:24:28.547 --> 00:24:31.323
I offered him a beer and a pepsi and he was like, nah, I'm good.

00:24:31.323 --> 00:24:35.285
And I was like, all right, man, well, you know where I live, come on over for pie or beer, whatever you want.

00:24:35.285 --> 00:24:37.452
And he was like, all right, it was.

00:24:37.452 --> 00:24:39.259
It was just good small town moment.

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:39.840
You know what I mean?

00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:40.342
That's great.

00:24:40.342 --> 00:24:45.771
And then, uh, we got the ladder out, had the christmas lights, we started going.

00:24:45.771 --> 00:25:02.692
I was like, all right, I don't want to go too far, because I need her to take a look at them, because I don't want to undo them after I've done everything and like, risk my life hanging these on the shingles and because you've got a tall, like if you were going full bore, it's like yeah, you need.

00:25:02.712 --> 00:25:06.167
You need it 30 feet up, right so you're yeah, but yeah.

00:25:06.189 --> 00:25:22.525
So if it, and because you want them to look right, you got to get them to well, I don't care if they look right, I just want them to look right to her this is wisdom and so, um, she was looking and I was like, all right, come back, what are we doing with these ones?

00:25:22.744 --> 00:25:24.961
like she's like well, I just, I don't know, like what do you think?

00:25:24.961 --> 00:25:27.597
And I just like had that moment with the wife.

00:25:27.597 --> 00:25:28.300
You know where was.

00:25:28.300 --> 00:25:40.941
There was no animosity, no frustration, but it was just like we speak through the the the fog of female to male and it was just like that eye contact me on the ladder and her like holding the lights.

00:25:40.941 --> 00:25:45.648
I was like all that matters is that it is what you want.

00:25:45.648 --> 00:25:48.800
What do you want?

00:25:49.080 --> 00:26:01.285
it like you know she's like, and she's looking at me, she's like I want them this way and I was like that is the way they will be it like it was great because there was no arguing or anything like that and like as soon as she said that, I just knew exactly what it was.

00:26:01.285 --> 00:26:04.731
We did that, cranked it up.

00:26:04.731 --> 00:26:12.585
They look beautiful, but it was one string and I can imagine If she was Five or four.

00:26:12.585 --> 00:26:17.740
What's your youngest Little pet, or not your youngest, your oldest Middle?

00:26:18.482 --> 00:26:18.965
Oldest is.

00:26:18.965 --> 00:26:20.435
Four and a half, four and a half.

00:26:20.435 --> 00:26:21.845
Yeah, okay, middle's two and a half.

00:26:22.201 --> 00:26:27.388
I can imagine if she was four, I'd like One, I'd be dead because no one's holding the ladder.

00:26:27.388 --> 00:26:33.511
And two, you know, I can imagine like pulling my brains out because I look down and she's like wrapped in the lights, exactly so.

00:26:33.511 --> 00:26:36.666
So now I want to know what your experience is like yes, for sure.

00:26:36.686 --> 00:26:54.426
So for I'll back up to when I was a kid my dad would, my dad wouldn wouldn't go full family vacation with the lights, yeah, but he would like Not rock show, but he'd get out there and like we would do them, we'd do them up, oh yeah, and we'd do up the lights and stuff.

00:26:54.426 --> 00:27:00.192
And so then, like you know, when I get married, it's like all right, you know, we should get some Christmas lights.

00:27:00.192 --> 00:27:07.990
So, similarly, like my first year out, I did two strings you know, just I, just only because I had a little more roof line.

00:27:08.009 --> 00:27:11.724
Yeah, it's, but it's just like that's not a lot, you know, like a string of two, one, two strings lights, whatever.

00:27:11.724 --> 00:27:15.438
So you know, we've passed a couple years on and off.

00:27:15.438 --> 00:27:19.053
Sometimes I put them out, sometimes I don't, depending on what's going on.

00:27:19.053 --> 00:27:25.592
You know, maybe we'll put them out, maybe we don't, but then once you're having kids, it's like like all right, let's make sure we're doing decorations and things.

00:27:25.592 --> 00:27:30.291
And it is one of those things where I like the idea of them.

00:27:30.291 --> 00:27:34.750
I don't like setting them up, hell no.

00:27:34.750 --> 00:27:37.209
And I hate taking them down.

00:27:37.209 --> 00:27:39.826
I hate taking them down.

00:27:39.826 --> 00:27:46.811
Yeah, bro, oh my gosh, like my wife knows, like for Christmas trees I do not take down anything.

00:27:49.082 --> 00:27:50.203
You don't take down the Christmas tree.

00:27:50.203 --> 00:27:50.644
What do you mean?

00:27:50.644 --> 00:27:51.667
You just leave it up.

00:27:52.790 --> 00:27:53.251
Let it die.

00:27:53.251 --> 00:27:54.579
Yeah, it's like.

00:27:54.579 --> 00:28:01.105
My job is to get the tree in the house, set it up, put the lights on it and then help decorate it.

00:28:01.105 --> 00:28:09.851
But, like, when it comes to like, taking it out, my only job is to, once it's ready, get it out the door.

00:28:09.851 --> 00:28:13.772
So, like and like, just I it's.

00:28:13.772 --> 00:28:14.453
I can't do it.

00:28:14.453 --> 00:28:15.934
I can't take the stuff down.

00:28:16.394 --> 00:28:17.076
And it's not like.

00:28:17.115 --> 00:28:20.557
I'm not like Buddy the Elf and I'm just like oh, it's over, I'm so sad.

00:28:20.557 --> 00:28:29.883
I'm just like it's like January 5th and I'm like I am not doing this, I'm not motivated anymore.

00:28:29.883 --> 00:28:34.686
Before you're kind of excited, it's Christmas is coming Right and so you get it all set up but anyway.

00:28:34.707 --> 00:28:43.094
So then with Christmas lights, you know, now it's like now I've got kids who are old enough to have memories with lights, so I'm like I gotta gotta start, I gotta keep up in my game.

00:28:43.094 --> 00:28:58.548
And so now this year I've decided, every year for the next handful of years I will up the game as we go and I'll kind of do age appropriate amounts of setup so they can be a part of it as we go.

00:28:58.548 --> 00:29:17.988
And so this year there's actually I went so simple but tasteful though, but very, but there's actually I went so simple, tasteful though, but there's a lot of stuff going on, and so I used to think these were tacky, but I've caved to it, and one of the tacky things would be the projector screen on the house.

00:29:18.087 --> 00:29:21.354
Oh yeah, I will say that variety.

00:29:21.354 --> 00:29:23.721
There was no effort.

00:29:23.721 --> 00:29:27.212
You just stick that thing in the yard and it's on the side of the house and it's awesome.

00:29:27.212 --> 00:29:38.835
So this year what I did and I still don't have the projector screen, but what I did this year was I just got two um, I have three things, three decorations this year and my little guy set it up with me but it's a.

00:29:38.835 --> 00:29:42.482
It's these little stakes you stick in the ground you can put a light bulb in.

00:29:42.482 --> 00:29:47.990
But my light bulbs for whatever, my ten dollar light bulb is like a.

00:29:47.990 --> 00:29:52.682
It's like a disco ball, but of christmas colors and it just shines it on the house.

00:29:52.682 --> 00:29:54.767
So we just have like two christmas.

00:29:54.767 --> 00:29:59.244
You know, we got red and green christmas disco on the house.

00:29:59.987 --> 00:30:02.921
And then another thing I've always thought was super tacky is inflatables.

00:30:02.921 --> 00:30:04.545
I bought one.

00:30:04.545 --> 00:30:07.593
I bought an inflatableatable Santa Claus and that's my third item.

00:30:07.593 --> 00:30:12.371
So I got two disco balls on the house and I got an inflatable Santa in the middle of the yard.

00:30:12.371 --> 00:30:17.189
Yeah, and they're all connected to this little power strip in the yard.

00:30:17.189 --> 00:30:18.712
That connects to.

00:30:18.712 --> 00:30:25.931
It's a dirty little secret of mine for our we do a lot of like 2A talk.

00:30:26.633 --> 00:30:41.286
Oh, yeah, and we do a lot and that leads into also kind of like I'm not a fan of you know, I am a fan of my privacy, yeah, but I have an Alexa and it's just in there, you fucker, it's listening to everything I do.

00:30:41.306 --> 00:30:41.788
Yeah, of course.

00:30:43.561 --> 00:30:57.432
But my Christmas lights are hooked up to my alexa and when it's time for the lights to come on, my kid can say, alexa, turn the christmas lights on, and they plink on and the santa blows up and it's great and the kid loves that and the kids love it.

00:30:57.941 --> 00:31:05.153
And then another a fun feature I wasn't planning on doing was, uh, last night we for duck hunting.

00:31:05.153 --> 00:31:13.973
We have two types of decoys Usually use like floater decoys out in the water, but I also have these like standing decoys that just stand if you're on like dry ground.

00:31:13.973 --> 00:31:17.486
The kids went and stuck them all in the yard.

00:31:17.486 --> 00:31:18.509
That's cute.

00:31:18.509 --> 00:31:21.809
And I'm going to leave them until I clean up, because I think it looks awesome.

00:31:21.809 --> 00:31:25.127
So we've got duck decoys and Santa Claus in the yard.

00:31:25.769 --> 00:31:32.029
I will say this I would never steal someone's Christmas lights or inflatable, but I might steal someone's duck decoy just out there in the yard.

00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:33.945
Well, I will say these are not the price you want.

00:31:33.945 --> 00:31:37.623
Okay, all right, cool, because these are the cardboard cutout.

00:31:37.623 --> 00:31:41.126
Well, like plastic cutouts, not so bad.

00:31:41.126 --> 00:31:43.871
It's funny, duck decoys get expensive fast.

00:31:43.871 --> 00:31:44.832
So expensive.

00:31:44.932 --> 00:31:48.940
Especially for the standing your standards and stuff, but anyway, yeah.

00:31:48.940 --> 00:31:57.799
So this year they went out with me and we, we did a simple setup and I think that each year I'm just going to kind of like acquire and build up, and but this year I truly went for simplicity.

00:31:57.799 --> 00:32:01.767
I was like let's just get something that, something that looks okay.

00:32:01.767 --> 00:32:05.733
I don't even have to get on the roof this year, we'll get on the roof in two years.

00:32:05.733 --> 00:32:14.182
Don't you have some shrubbery, like bushes, for decoration or for like, don't you just have?

00:32:14.221 --> 00:32:15.826
a bush, or a couple bushes, in your yard.

00:32:15.826 --> 00:32:20.269
Yep, I do, dude, I'm a big fan of the spider web lights.

00:32:20.269 --> 00:32:25.695
Oh yep, I remember the first time I saw those his, his dad was like here's the secret.

00:32:25.695 --> 00:32:27.644
He just pulled him out like what is this?

00:32:27.644 --> 00:32:28.205
Where does it go?

00:32:28.205 --> 00:32:34.464
He's like you just like lasso, toss it on the bushes and it doesn't matter how it lands, it's just great.

00:32:34.464 --> 00:32:37.712
Every year I'm like what are you talking about?

00:32:37.732 --> 00:32:57.067
and he showed me and we just put he had like I don't know something insane like a dozen bushes and and he's like these ones go here and they alternate and yada, yada, and he's like then you just you know pretty much toss this one up in the tree and then, after it goes in the tree, you just kind of wind it around and you're good to go.

00:32:57.067 --> 00:32:59.383
I was like, all right, man, let me see.

00:32:59.383 --> 00:33:03.224
And it was like it was like the easiest setup I've ever done in all my.

00:33:03.285 --> 00:33:08.181
