Welcome to the Mick and Pat show.

00:00:04.189 --> 00:00:05.831
I'm Mick.

00:00:06.272 --> 00:00:06.793
And I'm Pat.

00:00:07.761 --> 00:00:10.851
And we're coming just a couple weeks before Christmas.

00:00:10.851 --> 00:00:21.714
Hopefully y'all have listened to our gift giving and guide episode for getting that man in your life a gift this holiday season.

00:00:21.714 --> 00:00:26.463
We're joined by a special guest this evening Manning your life a gift this holiday season.

00:00:26.463 --> 00:00:33.490
We're joined by a special guest this evening my dog Takani, who is just chomping on her black Kong and trying to get the chicken out of it.

00:00:33.490 --> 00:00:40.235
Pat, this is your first time meeting a dog ever in real life, the first the first, the very first one.

00:00:45.161 --> 00:00:54.307
If this was the very first dog I ever met in real life, I will say I'd be terrified Because of how big they are, because of the size, yeah, and the ability that this beast has.

00:00:54.307 --> 00:00:58.859
Now, since it's not the first dog I've ever met, I'm not terrified.

00:00:58.859 --> 00:01:00.225
I actually think this is a great dog.

00:01:00.225 --> 00:01:01.149
Thanks, man.

00:01:01.149 --> 00:01:06.108
Over the years I think I've expressed some of my strong opinions about dogs and dog ownership.

00:01:06.468 --> 00:01:13.769
Yeah, I'm not anti-dog I think we both have, though I think we both have expressed how we're anti miss, miss.

00:01:13.769 --> 00:01:15.853
Uh what?

00:01:15.853 --> 00:01:16.474
How would you say?

00:01:16.474 --> 00:01:19.061
Like just not actually training your dog?

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:24.230
yeah, bad dog ownership, bad dog ownership bad, you know bad dog owners I'm not a fan of.

00:01:24.230 --> 00:01:53.251
Yeah, um, you know, and so yeah, but the uh, this dog walked in here, she, uh, she came over to me, she greeted me, but by slowly walking over and just putting her face near me, yeah, which is the perfect introduction from a dog, instead of either, you know, barking, jumping up and down, jumping up on you licking, uh, you know, getting super hyper.

00:01:53.811 --> 00:01:57.527
Um, she really couldn't care less if I was here or not, but she was happy to come get a pet.

00:01:57.527 --> 00:02:04.328
So yeah and now, uh, yeah, she's just working on that, uh, that last piece of chicken.

00:02:04.328 --> 00:02:07.790
She's trying to roll it out of there and I love, like you can, the way she moves.

00:02:07.790 --> 00:02:16.444
Funny, like she is still a puppy, even though how is this like an 80 pound dog she's at least now, but like she's gonna thicken out yeah, I think she, I think she will.

00:02:16.585 --> 00:02:21.963
We still walk her like over five miles a day, yeah, to just try to like get the energy out.

00:02:21.963 --> 00:02:26.114
Um and uh, yeah she's.

00:02:26.114 --> 00:02:47.270
I think she'll put on a little bit more weight, but I don't think she'll put much more on, because we're like overfeeding her right now to try to catch her up right, because once we got her, her ribs were showing and her back was a lot more like bonier yeah so, but once, once she gets that healthy, healthy weight, we're gonna cut it back and just give her what the doctor recommended.

00:02:47.569 --> 00:02:47.911
Scoops are.

00:02:48.941 --> 00:02:52.189
But then she'll still, over the next year, still get a little thicker.

00:02:54.221 --> 00:03:01.894
I think she'll get a little bit wider hips and a little bit stockier shoulder plates.

00:03:01.894 --> 00:03:13.372
You know what I mean, because apparently their bones aren't done grown yet and you can't run with them until they're, or play super hard with them, get, taking them full speed, like yeah, you're not supposed to.

00:03:13.372 --> 00:03:18.949
Like run them up and down the stairs a ton, or, like, you know, wrestle with them too much.

00:03:18.949 --> 00:03:32.455
Uh, now we do wrestle and she's great at and very gentle and she's very, very like she's learned how, learned how to do the gentle teething on your leg or your arm to play around.

00:03:32.455 --> 00:03:41.533
But apparently when they're fully grown, you can essentially tackle them down a mountain, throw them around.

00:03:41.614 --> 00:03:47.131
Yeah, tackle them and good work, because we're up some stairs.

00:03:47.131 --> 00:03:49.305
Thanks, man how did it go with these ones?

00:03:49.665 --> 00:04:00.784
she got halfway up them and then it was like a cat, where she just laid across at the middle and just was like laid down, looked at me and was like, can we please not go up anymore?

00:04:00.784 --> 00:04:02.187
And I was like, no, we're going, come on.

00:04:02.187 --> 00:04:16.634
And you know, I didn't have to pull her up, but I just kind of go, I go up a couple stairs and that puts, uh, the leash puts tension on her collar and her collar is not like gonna choke her out, but it, but it cinches when she tries to pull away.

00:04:16.634 --> 00:04:26.906
And so you, the whole training method is like you know, you go until there's tension on the collar, so that way they feel it and they know the direction you want them to go.

00:04:26.906 --> 00:04:42.781
And if they fight it and try to go the opposite direction, then it starts cinching uncomfortably and they like they know the moment they stop doing that it relieves tension and then it's an incentive, you know, to come to you and go the direction you're going, comfortable.

00:04:42.781 --> 00:04:47.329
But like a lot of people on the way back those collars, you're trying to suffocate your dog and choke it out.

00:04:47.350 --> 00:04:56.725
I'm like, no, because you, you, you don't pull like if you, if you walked with that leash and you were just dragging her around and constantly yanking or pulling on it.

00:04:56.725 --> 00:05:10.867
That would actually breed a really aggressive dog that would be like fearful and, you know, scared of you, right, and so, um, and not like, and not like respectfully scared of you or respectfully fearful, but a dog.

00:05:10.867 --> 00:05:16.247
That's like I'm confused, I'm scared and I'm going to bite you because I don't want to, I don't want you to be near me.

00:05:16.247 --> 00:05:23.470
Um, so you just kind of make sure that, like it's just enough of like a indication.

00:05:23.509 --> 00:05:46.509
It's kind of like I think like the best way to think about it is like imagine someone tied a rope through your belt loops and if you ran away from them it's cinch and you would know it's tight around your waist and hips and you're not going anywhere If you keep pulling this direction, right, and actually the harder you pull, the more uncomfortable it's going to get, but you're not gonna die, you know what I mean.

00:05:46.509 --> 00:05:57.069
And so that in the moment you stop trying to run away, you feel tension immediately release, and so then it's like, okay, all right, if I go this way, oh, if I go over here, there's no tension.

00:05:57.069 --> 00:06:02.346
So that's kind of how we get her to like not pull on the leash, because she is a big dog and she could rip my arm out.

00:06:02.346 --> 00:06:06.401
Yeah, um, but that's also how, like, we get her up the stairs too.

00:06:06.401 --> 00:06:21.170
Um, but, dude, it's gotten to the point now at home where she will come down just to check on me and say hi I'll be working in my basement office okay and she just loves to come down say hello, realizes I'm boring and working yeah

00:06:21.471 --> 00:06:23.862
and she's like, okay, well, this is just as boring as what mom's doing.

00:06:23.862 --> 00:06:29.761
So then she'll go upstairs and just see mom and she's like you both are boring, and then she'll just go play with her toys.

00:06:29.761 --> 00:06:33.615
Wow, but like it's a huge improvement over like the last couple weeks.

00:06:33.615 --> 00:06:35.401
And she's like very happy to come down.

00:06:35.401 --> 00:06:39.791
Like whenever she comes down the stairs she's like so happy to see me.

00:06:39.791 --> 00:06:42.103
It's like weird, it's a really weird thing.

00:06:42.103 --> 00:06:49.406
It's like she's I don't know if she knows I'm down there and she's just coming to see yeah, and she's so happy when I am.

00:06:49.406 --> 00:06:52.528
You know, yeah, I'm like dude, I've been down here for like eight hours.

00:06:52.528 --> 00:06:54.504
So it's like what do you expect?

00:06:55.745 --> 00:06:56.326
That's fun.

00:06:56.588 --> 00:06:56.848
Yeah.

00:06:57.610 --> 00:06:58.692
Yeah, she's a good dog.

00:06:58.692 --> 00:07:09.091
Yes, she's a good dog and, uh, it's good to have a good dog.

00:07:09.091 --> 00:07:10.918
Bad dogs can just be so draining, stressful.

00:07:10.918 --> 00:07:11.829
It's like like you're always like worried about them running off.

00:07:11.829 --> 00:07:16.348
You know you always have to like this, whatever, like pooping on the carpet, right away buying people whatever it's like just a pain.

00:07:16.470 --> 00:07:17.572
So she is.

00:07:17.572 --> 00:07:23.103
Uh, we're noticing she's got a little bit of a chewing problem, but that's more than anything I think they say.

00:07:23.103 --> 00:07:27.612
From what I read online, that's like a puppy anxiety thing with separation.

00:07:27.612 --> 00:07:28.843
Hence why?

00:07:28.882 --> 00:07:29.485
she's here tonight.

00:07:29.485 --> 00:07:32.550
Did she make a no-no while you were gone?

00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:33.201
She.

00:07:33.201 --> 00:07:49.098
One day I came downstairs and within 10 minutes of Billie Jean having left after walking her oh no, sorry, billie Jean didn't have time to walk her, she was running late for work, so she lefty jean didn't have time to walk her, she was running late for work, so she left the house, didn't have time to feed her.

00:07:49.098 --> 00:07:57.021
And then I go downstairs and like in that window of 10-15 minutes she had opened her bed and pulled all the stuffing out.

00:07:57.021 --> 00:08:00.389
Which is okay, it's a dog bed, it's not the couch.

00:08:00.389 --> 00:08:03.362
Um, but then another time we were gone.

00:08:03.362 --> 00:08:10.656
Oh, we were gone this last, uh, sunday for a friendsgiving thing uh-huh pie contest and we're looking on the camera.

00:08:10.675 --> 00:08:20.810
Everything was fine within the 15 minutes of like, not looking at the camera and driving home opening the door, tissue box torn open and just kleenex, everywhere, all right um.

00:08:20.810 --> 00:08:23.800
I think she has a huge, huge fascination for snow.

00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:24.985
She loves snow.

00:08:25.220 --> 00:08:25.341
When.

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:39.525
I walk her with snow out like on the ground, like fresh snow, she will walk with her tongue open and mouth open and just shovel snow into her mouth and she loves to like lay out and splay her legs and just slide around on it.

00:08:39.525 --> 00:08:42.126
She just thinks it's a blast.

00:08:42.126 --> 00:08:54.364
So part of me thinks like Kleenex and stuffing, it just seems like snow to her because when I, when we went there like and I was we got home I was pulling kleenex out of her gums.

00:08:54.364 --> 00:08:59.823
Oh yeah, I'm like okay, I don't know if this was like a destruction fun or like a oh, I can eat this fun.

00:09:00.004 --> 00:09:03.951
You know, so, but she's picked up a couple shoes.

00:09:03.951 --> 00:09:05.806
She's picked up the remote in my phone.

00:09:05.806 --> 00:09:13.145
She hasn't destroyed any of them, but I did notice this morning there are definitely some like what is this marks on the remote?

00:09:13.145 --> 00:09:20.669
Yeah, and it's like if she wanted to destroy and break it it would have been, but like I think she tasted it to try to understand what it was.

00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:27.668
And none of our shoes are wrecked, but she has picked them up and moved them around a couple of times.

00:09:27.668 --> 00:09:30.539
So it's like one of those things of like, all right, let's, let's bring her around with her.

00:09:30.539 --> 00:09:34.191
And also this is good practice because it helps her get over anxiety in the car.

00:09:34.191 --> 00:09:45.726
We throw her in the hatchback of the Subaru and she whimpers and then realizes you know nothing about her situation is going to change and it's best to just lay down and ride.

00:09:45.726 --> 00:09:53.489
I mean, she's getting better every time in the car and if we bring her to podcasts every week, then eventually she'll be super chill with that.

00:09:54.059 --> 00:09:59.809
She'll be better with the stairs and she's a good guess.

00:09:59.809 --> 00:10:03.009
I guess she just sits there quietly, not disrupting us.

00:10:03.009 --> 00:10:06.168
But that's kind of the plan right now.

00:10:06.168 --> 00:10:09.110
Until we can, I think what we're going to try to do is that bitter spray.

00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:18.129
You just spray it on stuff that it's like non-scented organic, so it's not like poison, but it's a special flavor that dogs just hate.

00:10:18.129 --> 00:10:28.428
And you spray it on your pillows, you spray it on your shoes and they just realize like the moment they lick it they're like oh, it doesn't make them throw up, but it makes it's like a nasty flavor to dogs.

00:10:28.428 --> 00:10:29.664
They don't want to be around it anymore.

00:10:29.706 --> 00:10:29.966
Yeah.

00:10:30.341 --> 00:10:31.405
And that's just a good thing to do.

00:10:31.405 --> 00:10:50.327
You don't even have to like spray it on every shoe, you just spray it on the shoes that the dog's going to, and then the dog realizes sooner than later oh, I shouldn't put shoes in my mouth, mouth it tastes bad, so but anyways, that's, uh, that's the doggy stuff.

00:10:50.327 --> 00:10:51.010
Um pat, you got any stories?

00:10:51.030 --> 00:11:14.010
I got I got like three stories loaded up that I forgot to tell you about or that like have happened, that I want to you know so this is a short one that I was late to the getting to the podcast because I was cruising here, coming down down the road that's coming over the big bridge, and uh, I'm kind of just like cruising, listening to my podcast, not my own podcast, listen to someone else's podcast, yeah.

00:11:14.432 --> 00:11:26.351
But uh, and I, kind of out of the corner, I'm like, as I'm I'm turning, this bridge curves to the left as you come around it and there's like bushes and statues and stuff in it, and so I'm like, oh, a statue.

00:11:26.351 --> 00:11:29.145
And I was like, oh, that statue's kind of in the road and I was like, oh, I think that's a person, you know.

00:11:29.145 --> 00:11:33.009
And so I then I'm like this was a person.

00:11:33.009 --> 00:11:48.889
So I'm coming in hot, I put my brakes on, put my hazards on, and there's a guy stumbling just dead middle of the lane, really, yeah.

00:11:48.889 --> 00:11:50.475
And so I turned my hazards on and actually block the whole roads.

00:11:50.475 --> 00:11:56.686
Dude, it's great to have a big truck, yeah, because people just have to do what you say sometimes so I was like, put my hazards on, went diagonal on the road.

00:11:56.725 --> 00:11:57.974
Yeah, block the whole road for a second.

00:11:57.974 --> 00:11:58.839
There weren't that many cars.

00:11:58.839 --> 00:12:02.865
We're just like, listen, we gotta not kill this guy for the moment, you know, yeah.

00:12:02.865 --> 00:12:19.263
And then I was like, hey, you know, and he's like he, he was really stumbling around and you, you know, not in good shape and uh, uh, clearly transient is like yeah, someone, someone take me to the hospital you know, I'm like all right, you know, like what's going on.

00:12:19.322 --> 00:12:20.767
I'm not right, man, I'm not right, not right.

00:12:20.767 --> 00:12:21.890
So I'm like all right, well, get in.

00:12:21.890 --> 00:12:40.022
So really, yeah, so you gave him a ride to the hospital, well, so, yeah, so I load him up as he's getting in, and then at that point I'd pulled, I was only in one lane, yeah, um, with the hazards on, and uh, he's like getting in the car, like about to get in the car, and this lady comes by and rolls the window down and just screams you can't be parked here.

00:12:40.022 --> 00:12:45.981
Uh, yeah, I know, I can't park on the road, like on a bridge.

00:12:45.981 --> 00:12:52.985
Yeah, anyways, I'd like to refer to her as what I think she, what she is the dumb bitch.

00:12:52.985 --> 00:12:54.345
Dumb bitch, you know.

00:12:54.345 --> 00:12:57.054
Scream it like, takes the time to roll around and yell that at me.

00:12:57.075 --> 00:13:04.381
I'm just like, whatever I like to say, it didn't get to me, but kind of got to me just like in the middle of like doing a good Samaritan thing.

00:13:04.422 --> 00:13:15.210
Yeah, just like and it it helped my perspective too, just being like, yeah, like, all right, like some people, man, whatever some people's mothers grandmothers yeah, f them.

00:13:15.289 --> 00:13:26.614
So got the man in there and then he's like, wait, I I clicked on all my like cabin lights, um, kept my like, kept some winter roll down, start driving.

00:13:26.614 --> 00:13:38.404
I had a flip of ue and like, as we're going, like he starts, like he like puts a hand, like in his pocket, you know, and I'm like, hey, man, like uh, I didn't say that, but I was like like hey, just like, let's like keep our hands out of our pockets.

00:13:38.404 --> 00:13:53.100
You know, he's like oh, I'm not doing, I'm not doing anything, like shoots it out, like because, like he's somebody who's probably had encounters with police before and and like you could, he was like she's saying I'm not doing, I'm not doing anything, you know, and I'm like it's all right, it's all right, you know, it's okay, let's just like, let's just take it easy.

00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:58.881
You know, yeah, I'm flipping u-turn, headed to the hospital, and then he's talking about, um, his dog.

00:13:58.881 --> 00:14:02.990
He lost his dog, he can't find his dog, shit, and that's his, his main thing.

00:14:03.009 --> 00:14:12.625
He's starting to lose his mind and so, as we're going to, then he says, you know, and then he keeps like, and then he reaches down again, kind of, and I can see he's trying to get his seat belt on.

00:14:12.625 --> 00:14:17.809
Oh, you know, it's like, okay, that's fine, but he's reaching, you know, I'm like, hey, you know, and I kept looking down and he could tell I was looking.

00:14:17.809 --> 00:14:20.203
And you know, he's like I just want to put my seat belt on, like, okay, that's fine.

00:14:20.203 --> 00:14:22.028
Then he takes his whole quilt.

00:14:22.028 --> 00:14:31.332
He has a quilt blanket around his head, around his neck, he like puts the whole thing up where I can't see and puts it over his head and he's messing around.

00:14:31.332 --> 00:14:36.162
And then I was like, hey, man, like you just gotta like like keep your hands where I can see him, you know.

00:14:36.162 --> 00:14:38.087
And he's like I'm not doing anything, not doing anything I got.

00:14:38.087 --> 00:14:39.341
If we're getting a wreck, I don't want to die.

00:14:39.341 --> 00:14:42.967
You know, it's funny, a certain like bro, you're just walking in the middle of the road.

00:14:43.148 --> 00:14:46.313
Yeah, this is way safer than what you're doing before.

00:14:46.313 --> 00:14:55.788
Anyway, his name was Brandon, oh, brandon, and he started talking about his dog and, as we're getting close to the hospital, he's like actually just dropped me at this Mexican restaurant.

00:14:55.788 --> 00:14:56.652
That's where I lost my dog.

00:14:56.652 --> 00:14:58.768
I'm like, all right, which is near the hospital.

00:14:58.768 --> 00:15:06.703
So I pulled over and he would not get out of the car.

00:15:06.703 --> 00:15:09.392
Dude, really, I mean, he was just like I didn't give any like very clear, firm, like get out of the vehicle.

00:15:09.392 --> 00:15:11.403
But it was just like hey, man, this is where you want to be.

00:15:11.403 --> 00:15:13.639
He's like, yeah, and then he was telling me about you know the situation.

00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:14.263
It's sad, you know.

00:15:14.302 --> 00:15:16.856
He's like I don't want to stay at the homeless shelter, you know like.

00:15:16.856 --> 00:15:22.009
He's like he's like I've been sleeping under a bridge and people are fighting down there and I don't like being around fighting.

00:15:22.009 --> 00:15:25.961
And then he's like, yeah, and I don't want to go in the homeless shelter.

00:15:25.961 --> 00:15:27.868
People, I've been touched there before.

00:15:27.868 --> 00:15:28.870
I like getting touched, you know.

00:15:28.870 --> 00:15:30.168
I was like, yeah, I know all this stuff.

00:15:30.168 --> 00:15:31.437
And so I'm like I'm sorry, man, that sucks.

00:15:31.456 --> 00:15:33.645
And then he started crying because he lost his dog.

00:15:33.645 --> 00:15:35.009
He's like that's the only thing holding me together.

00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:37.903
And then he's like, oh my gosh, this dude like was like, how old was he?

00:15:37.903 --> 00:15:42.347
Um, probably 45 to 50.

00:15:42.347 --> 00:15:56.623
You know it's 35 to 55 kind of depending on length of time not length of time under a bridge, um, but um, yeah, so he's like and he's missing all his front, teeth and stuff and just bad shape.

00:15:56.722 --> 00:16:08.312
But um, he's like, I came here from wyoming to try to be safe and I keep getting touched and people are fighting me and I lost my dog and uh, it's like and I'm, um, you know, felt bad for him.

00:16:08.312 --> 00:16:30.010
He's like, he's like I don't even have clean underwear and all this stuff and but he kept getting locked in on the dog and he kept kind of doing that thing that you know, people are in a bad mental space do where he kept kind of like looking at me and telling me to give him his dog back also like you know, yeah, that kind of like I'm asking you, nicely, I'm asking you guys, you can give him my dog, like hey, I don't know where your dog is.

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.102
I hope you find her.

00:16:31.123 --> 00:16:37.011
I don't have the dog but when we're slipping in between in and out of like reality and stuff, it's like okay, like time to get out of here.

00:16:37.011 --> 00:16:38.437
I gave him a 20.

00:16:38.437 --> 00:16:43.928
I don't know where he's gonna go do with it, but you know it was like know, threw him the 20 and then sent him.

00:16:43.928 --> 00:16:51.565
He finally got out of the car, shut the door and I headed on back to the podcast studio and you know, my heart went out to him.

00:16:51.565 --> 00:16:52.668
I felt bad for him.

00:16:52.668 --> 00:17:00.320
I did feel a little the two times he there's two times he reached, like with putting the blanket up, I did feel very uncomfortable.

00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:07.306
I was like all right, like you know just this and you know just this and you know you're just trying to get buckled.

00:17:07.306 --> 00:17:14.810
That's fine, but still you, he was definitely in a mental state that was he could do something he didn't mean to do yeah, yeah, that's always.

00:17:14.852 --> 00:17:22.107
The sad thing is like you gotta be so careful with just like the like.

00:17:22.107 --> 00:17:33.575
It is entirely, absolutely unpredictable and I've had, like you know, back in the day when I helped and, uh, worked in the sheriff department, would you know, be bringing people into intake?

00:17:33.575 --> 00:17:51.063
You should have no idea how they're gonna react, because they can be one way and like we had police all the time like be like, oh, this guy is totally uncooperative, he's spitting, freaking out or she's, you know, biting and trying to tear off her seatbelt and Pull on her cuffs or whatever, and saying she's gonna kill us.

00:17:51.063 --> 00:17:56.067
Saying she's got a gun In her pocket and I'm like, oh geez, well one, why didn't you pat him down?

00:17:56.067 --> 00:17:57.987
But, like you know, it's constantly like that stuff.

00:17:58.127 --> 00:18:04.259
And Then um the uh, and then they get there and they're totally cooperative and chill.

00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:16.633
And like they get there and they're totally cooperative and chill, and like they have no like desire to be uncooperative, you're like, okay, like they're just making a decision and they're flipping, you know, on a dime because they're just not healthy, yeah.

00:18:16.633 --> 00:18:17.755
Or it's the other way.

00:18:17.755 --> 00:18:19.204
It's like capitals.

00:18:19.204 --> 00:18:20.409
It was like this guy's chill, yeah.

00:18:20.409 --> 00:18:37.784
So find the whole time did a full pat down, took everything off him, and then we got to get him and he's like, he's like maybe it sets in for him for a moment, and they're like oh, I'm going to jail and they like lose their mind and they absolutely go.

00:18:37.903 --> 00:18:39.785
You know, batshit, and you're like, you're.

00:18:40.105 --> 00:18:54.253
And the people who are starting to, the people who are, you know, going a little crazy mental health issues or drugs, like once this switch can flip in them where they, when you, become the object of their issue.

00:18:54.253 --> 00:19:01.798
You know, for instance, like in his case a couple of times where he like thought that I could provide his dog back to him.

00:19:05.819 --> 00:19:11.752
I now I saw it flip twice in his eyes where I became wait, now you are the yeah, the bad guy yeah the issue, or like you know something to overcome.

00:19:11.772 --> 00:19:14.266
It's like, yeah, you've probably seen that happen too.

00:19:14.266 --> 00:19:24.527
Or it's like, all of a sudden, once they fixate on something and you're the thing keeping them from that thing, it can become a problem really fast, yeah, without a doubt.

00:19:27.369 --> 00:19:29.692
Anyways, pretty crazy stuff.

00:19:29.692 --> 00:19:31.854
That's interesting, bro.

00:19:31.854 --> 00:19:44.271
You didn't tell me that while we were just sitting here chilling, which is fine, but I just was like shocked that that was the real reason why you were running behind and I was just saving it for your first reactions.

00:19:44.271 --> 00:19:46.905
That's a good podcaster.

00:19:46.905 --> 00:19:55.400
Well, I guess I'll tell you this.

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:59.731
Did I tell you about the JB's wedding up in Steamboat?

00:20:00.461 --> 00:20:01.326
You told me about some of it.

00:20:01.960 --> 00:20:03.523
Did I tell you about how the Airbnb caught on fire?

00:20:03.523 --> 00:20:04.726
No, all right, so we were up in.

00:20:04.726 --> 00:20:05.167
Steamboat.

00:20:05.167 --> 00:20:07.633
You talking about some of it.

00:20:07.633 --> 00:20:09.577
I tell you about how the airbnb caught on fire.

00:20:09.577 --> 00:20:10.420
No, all right.

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:16.361
So uh, we're, we're up in steamboat.

00:20:16.361 --> 00:20:16.761
Really cool thing.

00:20:16.761 --> 00:20:17.643
My buddy had this super small wedding.

00:20:17.682 --> 00:21:04.490
Um, it was pretty much just the wedding party of like eight or nine people on either side and then it was family, like a close immediate family, and some grandparents, and then a few close friends, but I think in total it was like 45 or 50 people in its entirety, including bridegroom, family wedding party, and so most of us that were like in the wedding party, um, and just kind of like friends and stuff, stayed in the airbnb that we set up and, you know, laid out to be the uh, the actual wedding there was a giant, awesome a-frame windows just looking out over steamboats, you know, valley, the yampa, oh yeah and uh, it was just gorgeous.

00:21:05.934 --> 00:21:27.226
and then, um, after the wedding, you know, we take everything down and we're dancing or not really dancing that much, but like more, just like hanging out, eating food, enjoying time, drinking, and um, they, uh, jb and his new bride leave after the wedding to go to the hotel and steamboat where they were going to stay at before they caught their flight to St Lucia.

00:21:27.226 --> 00:21:30.721
And we're hanging out and stuff and they leave.

00:21:30.721 --> 00:21:34.548
And then, you know, it's just now, just friends and wedding party enjoying this.

00:21:34.548 --> 00:21:36.685
Just insane, unreal.

00:21:36.685 --> 00:21:45.344
Bedrooms up top, each bedroom had its own bathroom and shower, and then it was like five bedrooms in the basement.

00:21:45.344 --> 00:22:04.670
One was a master, everything had its own bathroom and shower, then there was the sauna in the basement, the gym, and then the main level had like the double kitchen living room area and like serious oh yeah, there's attached to car garage.

00:22:05.171 --> 00:22:41.651
Um, and the uh back had a big held hot tub and so, uh, we go to bed saturday after some hot tubbing and are sleeping, and then I'm, just, you know, in la la land just dreaming, um, billy jean and I, just you know, had had a wonderful evening and just were in our uh, beauty sleep and then hear this frantic knock on our wooden door and I was like, I sit up immediately, just like it, like my, like I wear, I wear like a.

00:22:41.651 --> 00:22:45.480
Uh, this is how tactical I am you're a tactical sleeping mask.

00:22:46.143 --> 00:22:48.722
Yeah, no, seriously, I wear a sleeping mask over my eyes.

00:22:48.722 --> 00:22:54.393
That is Bluetooth connected to my phone so I can listen to my audio book comfortably.

00:22:54.393 --> 00:22:55.535
Oh, it's all connected.

00:22:55.535 --> 00:23:15.732
Yeah it's like the old school soft foam headphones that are built into the sleeping mask and so when you're not sleeping sleeping, you can just pull it up and it's just nice soft headphones you're looking like the reading rainbow guy from star trek yeah, yeah, exactly um, lavon burton, yeah, um, and so I.

00:23:16.153 --> 00:23:24.409
But like, every time I like wake up, it's like always like discombobulated across my whole face and crooked and all that um and so, um.

00:23:24.409 --> 00:23:29.263
And so I see billy jean leap up and she's like, she's in pajamas and it's pretty.

00:23:29.263 --> 00:23:30.406
You know she's decently dressed.

00:23:30.406 --> 00:23:32.800
I'm not, I'm just in skivvies.

00:23:32.800 --> 00:23:35.326
Um, I also have this problem, dude.

00:23:35.326 --> 00:23:38.173
Just side note, it's important for you to know this.

00:23:38.173 --> 00:23:45.094
I feel like not really, um, but I have this issue where my doing don't stay in my skivvies.

00:23:45.094 --> 00:23:52.465
Like I need to wear boxer briefs to keep it packed away because my normal boxers it just does not stay in there.

00:23:52.465 --> 00:23:53.829
Like, there's just no way.

00:23:53.829 --> 00:23:58.672
Like I've actually picked specific underwear if I'm staying in my in-laws and stuff.

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.006
So that way, like in an emergency.

00:24:01.066 --> 00:24:04.258
I'm not just running around with my little Mick.

00:24:04.558 --> 00:24:06.340
Johnson flopping around.

00:24:07.924 --> 00:24:15.126
It's like a legit issue, bro, like I mean, like I can't I don't know why, but it just like doesn't stay in, um, and I just don't trust boxers anymore.

00:24:15.126 --> 00:24:19.694
Um, but uh, anywho, um.

00:24:19.694 --> 00:24:28.753
So she opens the door and it's our buddy uh, I'll just call him nuts, um, but it's our buddy nuts.

00:24:28.753 --> 00:24:32.205
And he's like hey, uh, house is on fire.

00:24:32.205 --> 00:24:35.532
I was like what, I don't know what, that you're right.

00:24:35.532 --> 00:24:37.343
He's like yeah, you gotta pack everything.

00:24:37.343 --> 00:24:40.131
Uh, and I was like I know there's fire extinguishers.

00:24:40.131 --> 00:24:42.183
He's like, okay, all right.

00:24:42.183 --> 00:24:44.871
And so, like part of me is like, is it actually on fire?

00:24:44.971 --> 00:24:48.229
or is it just the sauna is like hot and so on?

00:24:48.249 --> 00:25:00.305
left it on and it's drying out, or and is it like, do we need to leave our stuff and get out, or do we need to, like, go, step on like the whatever the like, step on the coals or whatever right?

00:25:00.606 --> 00:25:01.711
yeah, no, that's a, that's a.

00:25:01.711 --> 00:25:03.099
That's immediately what I was thinking too.

00:25:03.099 --> 00:25:14.148
And then, uh, like I was like I don't hear any smoke detectors, but immediately after the door opened, I smelt like what it honestly smelled like fresh cedar was burning.

00:25:14.148 --> 00:25:18.785
It was really weird, which is why I was like, okay, that's got to be the sauna.

00:25:19.946 --> 00:25:26.859
Um twas, not the sauna um and so I'm just gonna pull it up on my phone so you can see the videos.

00:25:26.859 --> 00:25:31.270
Um, but uh, and we don't have to.

00:25:31.270 --> 00:25:32.513
It's not like anything crazy.

00:25:32.513 --> 00:25:38.027
Uh, ken, like you're not missing out on like a crazy video of this airbnb just being torched to the ground.

00:25:38.027 --> 00:25:48.221
Um, but uh, it was definitely on fire and as we kind of realized that we were, I was like grabbing all of our stuff.

00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:58.566
I grabbed my gun and, you know, packed it all up and the other people were like really struggling.

00:25:58.566 --> 00:26:11.885
I think there's a lot of analysis, paralysis or like deer in the headlight stuff, and Billy Jean and I had already like everything packed up going out the front door, like, and Billy Jean and I had already like everything packed up going out the front door, like boots on, I like threw on sweats and like a shirt and a flannel and like one motion.

00:26:11.885 --> 00:26:12.468
It was awesome.

00:26:12.468 --> 00:26:14.978
Um, I was really proud of it.

00:26:14.978 --> 00:26:15.901
I was like that was crazy.

00:26:15.901 --> 00:26:19.308
I got all three articles of clothing on in like no time.

00:26:19.308 --> 00:26:31.089
Um and uh, we go outside and uh, I'm immediately grabbing my car and moving it, because it was like in front of the house and it's a very narrow mountain drive.

00:26:31.089 --> 00:26:33.607
I'm like, okay, the fire department's going to be on their way.

00:26:33.607 --> 00:26:40.028
I can hear my buddy nuts on the phone with them, but again I'm like I don't see any smoke but, I, smell it.

00:26:40.088 --> 00:26:40.931
It was very strong.

00:26:40.931 --> 00:26:43.508
And then I asked nuts, I'm like what's going on?

00:26:43.508 --> 00:26:47.682
Like where is it?

00:26:47.682 --> 00:26:48.345
And he's like it's in the garage.

00:26:48.345 --> 00:26:49.189
I was like, did we try putting it out?

00:26:49.189 --> 00:26:49.852
Like we have fire extinguishers?

00:26:49.852 --> 00:26:53.486
And he's like I opened the door and just smoke came in, bro, and it's like I could hear it and I'm like we got to get out.

00:26:53.486 --> 00:26:55.431
And I was like, oh shit, all right Deal.

00:26:55.431 --> 00:27:17.189
You know, like I'm not going to be like it's up to me to save this Airbnb for someone I don't know who's probably like living in another state and doesn't even care if this place burns down, but anyways.

00:27:17.189 --> 00:27:21.914
So this was the what happened when the fire department got there and they opened up the garage.

00:27:22.435 --> 00:27:29.351
Oh wow, like it was legit, like actually like a decent fire like burning in the garage and causing smoke, that's gonna have some smoke damage in that house.

00:27:29.351 --> 00:27:33.542
Wow, I'm just, I'm gonna.

00:27:33.542 --> 00:27:35.347
So we've got garage doors open.

00:27:35.347 --> 00:27:42.208
Smoke that's a lot, that's a good bit of smoke coming out of there yeah, dude wow like they went in with the hose and hosed it down.

00:27:42.208 --> 00:27:45.693
Yeah, so then what?

00:27:45.693 --> 00:27:46.335
What did happen?

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:49.750
So fire department's going in hosing it all down.

00:27:49.750 --> 00:27:51.145
They're like, hey, you guys made the right call.

00:27:51.145 --> 00:27:54.309
And that made all of us feel like not like dorks, right, Dweebs.

00:27:54.309 --> 00:28:07.222
And once they got it hosed down and started kicking around, we saw them kicking out like burnt black trash and I was like, hmm interesting, because out like burnt black trash.

00:28:07.222 --> 00:28:10.338
And I was like, hmm interesting, because I remember the night before when we're cleaning up the wedding and stuff be like, where do we take all this trash to?

00:28:10.338 --> 00:28:11.645
And so it was like, oh, in the garage.

00:28:11.645 --> 00:28:14.480
And they're like, just, I don't see any trash cans in the garage.

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.263
And they're like, oh, they have.

00:28:16.263 --> 00:28:17.807
They just say leave it in the garage.

00:28:17.807 --> 00:28:22.465
And they're like, all right, so they everyone was just piling trash bags out there smoking a doobie.

00:28:22.967 --> 00:28:23.387
No, what, no.

00:28:23.387 --> 00:28:24.028
What happened, bro?

00:28:24.028 --> 00:28:24.609
Some sparkler?

00:28:24.609 --> 00:28:25.511
I didn't worry about that.

00:28:25.511 --> 00:28:26.173
Sparkler turned off.

00:28:26.339 --> 00:28:30.131
I didn't worry because there was a couple people who I know were smoking some joints.

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:34.431
And I was like but they were really responsible and they weren't waving at anyone's face.

00:28:34.431 --> 00:28:41.247
I was like shit, there's no way like their joint landed in the trash in the garage, they go outside to smoke it or something.

00:28:41.247 --> 00:28:45.553
Um, and so that was my first concern.

00:28:45.553 --> 00:28:52.308
And then, uh, turned out, what it was was this couple from california.

00:28:52.308 --> 00:29:01.195
Oh yes, let me ask you, pat, how many homes in southern california you think have baseboard heaters, let alone baseboard heaters in a garage?

00:29:01.436 --> 00:29:03.647
yeah, I bet some do, but not a lot.

00:29:03.647 --> 00:29:05.416
I bet in southern california.

00:29:05.497 --> 00:29:09.926
Oh, yes, yeah I bet zero in san diego, um.

00:29:09.926 --> 00:29:21.584
And so they just didn't know and think, and I understand right, and they the guy said because they're like yeah, the fire department was like someone set these trash bags next to, on, like top of the baseboard heater.

00:29:21.584 --> 00:29:25.711
And then the guy who was like oh, that was totally me, and I was like really what's going on?

00:29:25.711 --> 00:29:26.353
Like it's okay, bro, but heater.

00:29:26.353 --> 00:29:28.477
And then the guy who was like oh, that was totally me, and I was like really, what's going on?

00:29:28.477 --> 00:29:30.000
Like it's okay, bro, but like why didn't you think to move?

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:31.353
He's like I don't know what that is.

00:29:31.353 --> 00:29:36.224
And he's like also, I opened the door, there's already trash there, so I just threw it where that trash was.

00:29:36.925 --> 00:29:46.895
And it's surprising that it got hot enough to like I wouldn't set it on there intentionally too, but that is, that's still surprising for a baseboard heater.

00:29:46.955 --> 00:29:52.632
Yeah, I mean I guess after like eight hours just sitting there and there's probably like booze and stuff in the trash too.

00:29:53.121 --> 00:29:54.472
It's something to combust, huh.

00:29:54.674 --> 00:29:55.200
But yeah.

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:56.304
So anyways, that's what it was.

00:29:56.304 --> 00:29:57.147
They put it out real quick.

00:29:57.147 --> 00:30:03.045
Airbnb apparently insures stuff up to like over a million dollars, wow.

00:30:03.045 --> 00:30:10.026
So they told JB's wife she got the thing on Airbnb like, hey, here's a claim, you guys need to pay up for damages.

00:30:10.026 --> 00:30:10.848
Oh, wow.

00:30:10.848 --> 00:30:15.028
And the people who managed that Airbnb were like don't do that.

00:30:15.813 --> 00:30:16.034
Oh, okay.

00:30:16.721 --> 00:30:18.729
Because the managers aren't the owners right.

00:30:18.729 --> 00:30:20.928
And the managers said here's the issue.

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:22.866
Wait, did the owners come for the claim?

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.747
No, the owners live in texas, right, don't give two shits, it's a big airbnb.

00:30:27.747 --> 00:30:29.612
Big airbnb said you gotta pay up, okay.

00:30:29.612 --> 00:30:36.409
The managers of the airbnb, yep, said don't do that one, we just like.

00:30:36.409 --> 00:30:44.836
Because they did a walkthrough when they got there and they saw that next to the trash against the baseboard was propane tanks.

00:30:44.836 --> 00:30:50.059
Oh gosh, that were like right next to the fire and it was one of those things of like.

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:54.402
I'm sure someone was like well, these propane tanks won't explode if I put them next to the baseboard here.

00:30:54.402 --> 00:30:55.386
That's a zero chance.

00:30:55.386 --> 00:31:00.101
But if there's a fire caused by the baseboard heater, it's going to blow up those propane tanks.

00:31:00.121 --> 00:31:00.842
That is wild.

00:31:00.981 --> 00:31:07.445
Yeah, it is pretty bonkers, Because the bedroom too, a master bedroom is just right above the garage there, and they were the first people to smell it.

00:31:07.445 --> 00:31:08.741
Yeah, they were like.

00:31:08.741 --> 00:31:10.993
It smells like our bedroom's on fire.

00:31:11.537 --> 00:31:12.039
Oh, my goodness.

00:31:12.401 --> 00:31:28.017
And so also they went through and there was like no smoke detectors and like I think, like it was something crazy, like 30 of the smoke detector brackets were empty and it was like so that's totally also not on you.

00:31:28.017 --> 00:31:29.826
There's no way we're going to.

00:31:30.643 --> 00:31:40.405
You could take us to court and sue us over this and the fact that if this had started after you guys had checked out and no one had been there, it would have burned down.

00:31:40.405 --> 00:31:40.666
Yeah.

00:31:42.500 --> 00:31:46.770
They were like whatever you do, just do not pay the the claim to airbnb.

00:31:46.770 --> 00:31:50.147
If you don't pay it, you'll get a ding by airbnb.

00:31:50.147 --> 00:32:00.546
That's like a ding on your rental and I'll be like this person didn't pay for this much damages, but airbnb's insures shit up that much and so they got to pay for it, which sounds cool.

00:32:00.546 --> 00:32:02.731
That whole place is gonna get a facelift yeah, I see.

00:32:02.751 --> 00:32:06.391
That's why the manager's like don't, don't, don't, we needed a new paint job, whatever.

00:32:06.940 --> 00:32:09.565
But the neighbor of that dude.

00:32:09.565 --> 00:32:20.670
I can't remember his name, but he comes out on this porch of his massive gigantopithecus house right His house that costs more money than you and I will make in our lifetime.

00:32:20.670 --> 00:32:30.270
He's got his crazy thinning like hair, just you know, going crazy in the morning he's like hey, how about you guys?

00:32:30.270 --> 00:32:31.957
Come on in, you can warm up in here and everyone's like okay.

00:32:32.660 --> 00:32:47.766
And so then I go in this house and his house is huge just absolutely unreal how big it is and he's just generous, kind guy and his wife is helping all the girls make coffee and stuff, um, and we're just kind of watching the fire department do their thing from his house.

00:32:47.786 --> 00:32:49.089
I'm like, hey, man, what do you do?

00:32:49.089 --> 00:32:50.643
I would just love to know what you do.

00:32:50.643 --> 00:33:07.913
And he started telling me and he worked in just uh, originally just selling property, um, but then and he was doing it in miami and what he was doing was buying like strip malls, uh, and at first he was brokering it, right, like he just did a ton of brokerage of real estate, commercial.

00:33:07.913 --> 00:33:31.759
And then he was like, okay, I'm gonna get into it, yeah, and he got wrapped up with the cartel down in miami and he fled to colorado, like they gave him, they like kicked him out, like like they, they were like you're leaving miami and he was like I'm leaving miami so he left Miami, came to Colorado, started doing this like same thing, just getting in brokerage stuff here and then owning stuff.

00:33:31.859 --> 00:34:08.336
And then he now owns like the main street in Steamboat and he owns the bowling alley and several of the other like you know, rental spaces for businesses and stuff that down there and I'm like I'm literally sitting in the house of like the baron of steamboat you know what I mean like I was like this, this man's made it bro and he was like it was really funny because he was very generous, he's very kind, opening his home to us and like like letting everyone come in and everyone took their shoes off and stuff, but like still they're just sitting around sitting on his couch and stuff, yeah and like playing with his dogs and drinking his coffee.

00:34:08.356 --> 00:34:09.659
It's like fucking.

00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:15.530
You know 7 am in the morning, but he was also just like I.

00:34:15.530 --> 00:34:17.940
It was the most like I don't know how to you.

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:19.262
I genuinely like the guy.

00:34:19.262 --> 00:34:23.088
I say this is a dude who's like oh, you're cool, like I want to talk to you more.

00:34:23.088 --> 00:34:31.311
Also your textbook maniacal villain in a small town like you know, like it's like he would just like laugh.

00:34:31.351 --> 00:34:35.224
He's like he's he enjoyed watching the smoke come out of that garage.

00:34:35.324 --> 00:34:42.018
I don't know, bro, but like there was just like uh, I think he did because one it was an airbnb and it was like a pain in the ass.

00:34:42.018 --> 00:34:46.632
People would show up to his house and just walk in, right?

00:34:46.632 --> 00:34:58.766
He said he was gone down looking at some stuff in Steamboat once and he saw on his ring doorbell a whole freaking catering company showed up to his house, brought in tables and food, started moving his furniture around.

00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:00.748
Yeah, like I guess it must be here, yeah.

00:35:01.603 --> 00:35:02.527
And he's like it sucks.

00:35:02.527 --> 00:35:03.664
He's like I'm actually moving.

00:35:03.664 --> 00:35:09.206
We just finished building a house on like the lake over here.

00:35:09.206 --> 00:35:11.755
We'll move into it during the summer, but we're just gonna turn this into an airbnb too.

00:35:11.775 --> 00:35:13.581
Yeah, because I guess he's like it's just a pain in the ass.

00:35:14.385 --> 00:35:16.432
Um, but, dude, the guy was like, almost like.

00:35:16.432 --> 00:35:18.420
I mean, he was like the big lebowski.

00:35:18.420 --> 00:35:19.380
Did you ever see that movie?

00:35:19.380 --> 00:35:21.344
Yeah, he was the big lebowski.

00:35:21.344 --> 00:35:29.014
If the big Lebowski was insanely rich, he just robed slippers, crazy old man hair.

00:35:29.014 --> 00:36:08.784
He had a full-on wine maroon-looking room on the top of the house that had 360 degree it was like a rectangle, right, but you could see 360 degrees out through windows and a tv for watching movies and dvds and stuff and it was just uh like plush maroon carpet and uh like a corduroy or in the whole room you just sit on these plush like large kind of bench couches and there was just like blunts and weed everywhere.

00:36:08.784 --> 00:36:12.570
It's just like, oh, I'm sick, like you.

00:36:12.570 --> 00:36:18.630
Just, you just come up your wooden spiral staircase to this and just smoke weed every morning staring out.

00:36:18.630 --> 00:36:23.266
You're like, see those lights over there, I own that shit.

00:36:23.266 --> 00:36:26.092
And that's literally what he was like.

00:36:26.092 --> 00:36:26.920
Dude, he was so cool.

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.106
Uh, I wish I could remember his name.

00:36:29.106 --> 00:36:29.708
I'll look it up.

00:36:29.708 --> 00:36:30.911
I can find him really easy.

00:36:30.911 --> 00:36:32.322
Yeah, because I've looked it up a couple times.

00:36:32.541 --> 00:36:37.300
Um, but like, he was just like it was he the way he was talking about stuff.

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:38.664
He's like you know the bowling alley.

00:36:38.664 --> 00:36:40.489
I was like, yeah, he's like I fucking own it.

00:36:40.489 --> 00:36:44.969
And I was like sick bro, where's patrick swayze?

00:36:44.969 --> 00:36:47.903
Is he gonna kick in your door and like kill your henchman?

00:36:47.903 --> 00:36:49.769
Like this is unreal.

00:36:50.311 --> 00:36:51.315
Here's where it gets crazier.

00:36:51.315 --> 00:36:59.902
Oh wow, I start telling him what I do for work dude, government consulting and all that doing some dod stuff he's like I usually talk to.

00:36:59.902 --> 00:37:17.773
I can't remember her name either, but but Marsha, whatever His wife he's like she was the lead counterterrorism agent for the FBI in New York and she ran the New York office's counterintelligent I mean counterterrorist FBI task force.

00:37:17.773 --> 00:37:21.048
And she he's like it's hilarious.

00:37:21.048 --> 00:37:30.007
We met on a dating app where you have to pay three grand but they pay for the whole date and set everything up and like food and all that and like where are you going to go?

00:37:30.007 --> 00:37:36.989
And they drive you, he's like but both of us paid for it just so we wouldn't have to, like you know, deal with like swiping, I guess.

00:37:36.989 --> 00:37:39.708
And he's like so we just meet up on this date.

00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:48.344
And she's like I know you because he was like a dude that the fbi was like we got.

00:37:48.364 --> 00:37:53.414
Yeah, he's linked to the cartel and like he never she's like he's like I ran from him.

00:37:53.414 --> 00:38:01.844
