Yes it is Doug Steffen with Jake Kirshner, who's here to grace us,
honor us regalis with her presence or with her humor, her intelligence. Are
brought to you my whole way through how brought to you by Progressive Insurance Insurance
for your motorcycles, your boats or rbs for protection on the road again.
Just can't wait to get on the road again. I love Willie Nelson and
that song I love. There's some people Willie Nelson's music that is so uplifting,
that is so bright and to be cherished. It's how listen. There's
the Willie's Roadhouse on Sirius XM, and a lot of the old country music
and stuff I played when I first was just druckey in the sixties. But
it's not none of it. Every once in a while you come across a
Guy Mitchell's song or one of those, but it isn't it's it's the reward
is to hear Willie as singing something. I think they play one of his
tunes every hour. Just just it does it for most everybody anyway, far
as progressive is concerned. You can see how much you can save eight hundred
progressive or progressive dot com dot com. That would be what Jasper would say,
knows dot com. I fall, that's it, okay, So summer
rain used to be welcome in my neck of the woods. It isn't anymore
unbelievable. It's oh my god. But with the summer rain being as it
is, it is mostly fresh, would be certainly welcome down where James Collins
is and our remains studio down in Dallas, in that whole area from Texas
over to Panhandle and down and up. It's that area's all dried out and
hot temperature is well over one hundred degrees there. So with the summer rain,
how about some humor that'll cleanse You're so cool your body, it'll be
good for the air around you. So I thought, perhaps we ought to
think about what to do with a hot dog bun. How about that?
For we'll let put a smile on. What unusual things can you do with
a hot dog recipes like other wa whatever, eat it? Or maybe let's
stay a hot dog bun into a hole and see who gets it in?
Like what is the game? I'm totally splanking on it, m cornhole set
of the little bean bags. Listen, you're the expert here, you're the
one. He's got a three year old. You gonna come up with something
that's good to do with a hot dog roll other than eat it? Do
you know that we're going to consume one hundred and fifty million hot dogs this
weekend in America? Sounds about right? Yes, we can't forget the hot
dog eating contest. Happens this contest so that you had that house to account
for a lot too? How many to eat? This is the guy that's
Nathan's right, Yes, do I remember his name? It's got to be
sickening though, Yeah, eating that hot dogs themselves. Do you remember when
that truck this is a chuckle? The truck was it last year or at
some point fairly recently? A truck loaded with a goop that they put into
hot dogs? But you know there's a skin and then there's that stuff in
the middle, all that processed whatever it is that's there, bones, and
yakabunga to make the hot dogs tastes as good as it does. It was.
It's a liquid, though, a gooey liquid, and the truck crashed,
rolled over, and like ninety thousand gallons of that stuff slopped off onto
the highway and off the side of the road. It took them weeks to
clean it up. They had to get a huge vacuum cleaner. Excuse.
Okay, So how does that make it feel about hot dogs and hot dog
bunds? Yay? All right? Going along with the holiday weekend, going
along with refreshments. You're having a hot dog. So what better? What
better companion do a hot dog than a beer? Right to have a nice
coal beer. I don't drink this stuff because I don't eat the hot dogs
either, but I know a lot of people who are going to drink a
lot of beer, so I thought it was interesting. Actually, yesterday I
said something about being queer. Do you remember that that you don't? You
don't like that word because it had such a negative connotation when you were growing
up. Exactly So, as usual, when you say something like that and
someone who would like to take a shot for whatever reason, the guy took
a shot at me about being a queer lover. You're a queer lover,
and that's because I talk in a positive sense about some of the LBTQ whatever.
However, letters go together issues, which is okay. If you have
that point of view, you can have it. You can keep it to
yourself, or you can share it whatever you want. Doesn't mean I'm going
to change my mind just because somebody either teases you, makes fun of you,
takes a shot at you. That doesn't mean you have to change your
mind. Stick to your guns. Well exactly. It's one of those things
that what people say about you has more to do with them than it doesn't
have anything exactly correct, amundo. So anyway, the bud Light situation,
which is a created foolishness, is just the boycott that change the value of
the company by fifteen billion dollars. So here's what they're doing for the fourth
of July weekend. You want to know somebody else, somebody's gonna call me
a queer lover again? Are they doing the They're going to offer a rebate
of up to fifteen dollars on a purchase of a fifteen pack of bud bud
Light Bud Select bud Select fifty five and in places where there's a fifteen pack
itselves for less than fifteen dollars, the beer will probably be free. How
about that? Ann Heiser Busch Going back to Memorial Day? When did this
thing happen? This whole business with Delaney, Millennia or whatever? Yeah?
Um was it? Time? Is such a blur? I want to say
May or April? It was it that early? Okay, so that's why
they did it. Memorial could Yeah, it could have been around May.
And the thing is it wasn't even like it was a national TV spot or
anything like that. This she's a social media star. This was a social
media campaign. Yeah, okay, Well, anyway, do as you will
if you like bud Light. I don't like any of this stuff because I
beer is not my thing. But if you like it, you should be
drinking it and not worry about or think about what's what's the equivalent? I
guess my question would be for beer drinkers. This is a good question on
our social media page Facebook and Instagram at Good Day Radio Show Twitter, Good
Day on Air. So if you don't want to drink bud Light, what's
the equivalent? Is it a local beer that you find. There are a
lot of local breweries, now mini breweries, a lot of them almost every
community. I think, yeah, yeah, some people just don't like bud
Light eat just in general. Some people are just that's not their cup of
tea to begin with. I've heard it was kind of cheap, and that's
why people buy it, because it's cheap at any rate. The boycott apparently
still going on, and so here we go with their rally cry fifteen dollars
off, and if it's less than fifteen dollars, it's anyway. Their index
score is going up a little bit. The equity that people have in the
company has improved somewhat over the last it looks like almost ninety days since this
thing took place. I'm looking at some of the things here, all right,
Paul says. In May, the nation's largest LGBTQ advocacy group, the
Human Rights Campaign, suspended anne Heiser Busch's corporate equality index, accusing the company
of caving to political pressure. And what exactly is this index score if not
just a form of political pressure itself. Well, and that's a good point
too, because a lot of this backlash for bud Light isn't only one sided.
It's they put out a social media campaign that people didn't like it.
They took down the social media campaign, so then the other side didn't like
it. So they really chicked a lot of people off with their actions and
then their swift reactions. So here's another stock story from the Wall Street Journal
today. I just saw this, and I'm wondering what the heck is this
about. Although I'm not again a fan of the big drug stores like Walgreens
and which McCall at CVS, I have this local little guy who's got a
couple of drug stores here. If I need something, I go see him.
Anyway. That's just me. But because listen to this. Because people
have been avoiding the new COVID vaccines, the the fact that eighty three percent
of the people who got the first round did not get the second round,
and because Walgreens had stocked up and had been so anticipating that they would get
a lot of business people would buy the shots for nineteen ninety five or whatever
they called, whatever they cost, they aren't buying them, and thus their
stock has gone down. The the COVID stuff, the vaccines and that sort,
it's like flu vaccine. They are lost leaders. Right, you know
there are a way to get people. Come into the store, Okay,
come in, get your shot, and then wander around a bison mother junk
that you have to that you need, that you think you need anyway.
So that's why their stock has gone down. I would imagine CVS is got
to be expected. I'm looking around for something the same thing, right,
And with the COVID vaccine, remember how it was like you had to get
it or you weren't even allowed into stores. You had you had a car,
and you had to prove the card and everything. Yes, and now
it's completely optional. It's even in terms of the vaccine list in general to
send children to school. I believe it's all places. I could be wrong.
Maybe it's just most places, but the COVID vaccine is not required.
Nope. Now it's like poof Gunzo. Here's something shocking. Actually, social
media today is loaded with shocking material, and we're going to cover some of
it, probably not all of it, during the course of the program today.
The first shocker comes from Pink. I don't know as I'm a I'm
an over the top fan of her music like I might have been of Elvis,
but there's something about her presence, the way she conducts herself, the
way she looks and acts that I find very attractive and intriguing. I'm talking
about Pink, who was performing. She's a Grammy winner, and she was
singing just like a pill during a concert. Actually this was going on in
London. So with his fan tosses a clear plastic bag of some powdered substance
on the stage. And so you watch the video of this moment in her
Pink looking at the bag, picking it up, holding it, and the
lady who threw it up on the stage is said, that's my dead mother's
ashes. Yeah, and so with Pink says, is this your mom?
And so yeah, yes, that was the answer. This she's got to
have been. I don't She was so thrown off. She was like,
I don't know how to feel about this. And then she sat she very
gently set the bag at the front of the stage, kind of in front
of one of the monitor speaker things. And so is the mother a fan?
Is that why this person brought the possibly? Possibly? And so mom
got to have a front row seat at the edge of the stage. And
Pink went right back into singing and everything I've been googling to see what happened
to those ashes, where they were turned to the person, where did they
go? But it also raises the question what is appropriate to throw on stage
at perform two performers like you have where people will kind of toss teddy bears
or flowers or something. But lately you've had, for instance, ashes,
you've had people have cell phones thrown out their face. Clearly is not okay.
But when you're doing something like genuine not trying to cause destruction like that
cell phone situation with Bob Rexa, what is appropriate and what is not appropriate?
Human remains probably not appropriate. Here's my remembrance of a Tom Jones concert
that I went to. A lady who was very big, busted ran down
the aisle. This was a concert in the round and Tom Jones was singing.
She whipped her bra off and threw that at him. That's what I
remember about being Don't they used to happen like all the time with him?
It did? Yeah, I think it'd about that. Yeah. Inspiration.
The summertime is very inspiring time. The holidays are inspiring time. Fourth July
weekend is coming up upon us. James and Jay and I should change my
name to jug so we have this alliteration. R. Wait, that's a
character jug Head? Who is that? Why am I blinking? It was?
There was a cartoon character named Juge it was I think it may have
been in the Bezuko. Yeah, I remember Veronica and that's it. Actually,
I'm guy got there. Eventually, you got it. I'm not a
cartoon proud that you should be hip ever Ray for Jay on the good day
the moon speaking of I love looking at the stars and looking when the sky
is bright and you don't have any clouds in the sky. How much of
inspiration is that? And as the moon fills out each month, it becomes
more of an inspiration. The other night, when you saw Venus and Mars
pretty much alongside the moon, they weren't really, but it looked like that
in the sky. It was kind of cool. You go out and I'd
had a nice long walk with Daisy looking up at the Yeah, it's and
think about the other side of it is when the sun goes down. What
does that do When you watch a sunset, the vivid colors, it's like
looking at flowers the sky, right, It's really cool to see the things
I wonder what looking at your grandchildren, probably if you have them, maybe
that's abouty in and of itself, right, the treat of watching them talk,
learn how to talk, learn how to walk, do whatever it is.
That's something else that's an inspiration. Look around you. Most of the
things watching plants grow seeds this time of year, when you plant a seed,
this is a great thing for a child too, by the way,
put a seed. I remember I bought one of those lettuce grows from my
grandson Miles about four or five years ago. And that fellow was a sponsor
who's married to a singer who was her name, No, no, well,
yeah, she's a singer two actress. She's in the bench and him
Zoidishnell, and she's still hard. I believe they still work together, her
ex husband, they still work together with us, right anyway, So that
was my grandson. That was the first time in my life that I really
saw him get excited about something that he didn't know anything about, didn't underste
Those seeds would grow, and every day he'd be out there, Gramps,
Gramps, look at this and some other things that grow quickly like bamboo.
For whatever the reason we've been telling about bamboo a lot this week. Bamboo
grows very quickly. There are a lot of things. But because it's so
moist where I am here and it's now getting humid, you can almost every
day see the corn grow by an inch, or the tomatoes getting bigger in
the garden, or whatever it is that you may be growing. And that
is an inspiration in and of itself. So let's have your way with that
stuff. Spend some time and brighten up somebody's life with the thought or an
experience that you can get him to be inspired. One of the least inspiration
of disorder. Turned this around. There's always the good with the bad,
right, or the bad with the good. So one of the least inspiring
folks that I find involved in Paul politics is good old Ron de Sandis,
who has now asked a federal court to dismiss the Walt Disney lawsuit against him
and the state, claims illegal retaliation over a political dispute. In the motion,
attorneys argue that he and the Secretary of the Department of Economic Opportunity are
quote immune from the suit. Neither the governor nor the secretary enforce any of
the laws at issue, so Disney lacks standing. I am. I'm going
with Disney on this one. Whether you're it really isn't about the suit itself.
It's about the approach and the grandstanding that this phoney does. What he's
pulling out, Why and why would you go after the state's largest employer and
the biggest taxpayer in the state. You're gonna make a point. I'm going
to fix those guys. We're tough and anyway, so Disney World, guess
they have their own system, they have their own government that they don't have.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Yeah, they only have so many
hotels and resorts on actual Disney property. The majority of people who come to
Disney World from out of town stay in other hotel They're staying out. Yeah,
they're staying in other other areas. This is the biggest It's such a
tourist thing that that brings in it so much money. What is the problem?
The problem He's got an ego and I'm not thinking he's that some people
are he's a very smart guy. I'm not sure that he is. Or
either that or he's so stuck on the anti lgbtqy like it or not,
this is the way the world is going. I don't necessarily embrace all of
this stuff either, especially the business about gender identification and that sort of thing.
I don't get it. I don't. I guess I don't really care.
But other than that, this guy is a complete political grand standard.
And you say he's smart, well, and that's the thing he has.
He's such a grandsonter. He really knows how to galvanize and he goes for
the most vocals roots for following. I mean, it's kind of what Donald
Trump was doing to a degree, well not just a degree, but what's
how does that show leadership? Though? How does that show real leadership?
Is? Does it? Because people are following? And that's that's one of
the things. I mean when it comes to just the primary definition of leadership,
so many people are following around to Santas and he is going towards the
most vocal groups. When it comes to um any, like especially the lgbt
QI a community, we are in a way going backwards because while some people
look, if you don't agree with it, you don't have to agree with
it. That's totally okay. And I'm not just talking about some of its
come too fast. So many people are so much more vocal about being anti
other people for one way, shape or form. Yeah, why are they
are against their exact whether they're against who they love, or their religion,
or their skin color, or even their jobs. I mean people just come
for people in such a manner outwardly. That is so vocal, and I
do not recall it. Being this vocal in social media has given the cowards
of the world a standard should they follow. Communities shutting down, government shutting
down everything for the pandemic. I feel like once everybody came back out of
our holes, it's like people came back so angry and so vocal with their
anger. There's another side to that, you know, that's a great angle.
The whole business of COVID was so badly handled, and here's yet another
example of why people are angry. This is one of the greatest grifts of
all time. The results this week, according to a study in The Wall
Street Journal, what it cost the taxpayer in fraud stolen money two hundred billion
dollars in COVID nineteen eight was stolen two hundred big in from these large COVID
relief initiatives. The federal government of the government accounting offices now investigating federally funded
programs that were aimed at helping small businesses. This certainly was a big public
health crisis. You can argue whether we overcooked our response to it, but
certainly the amount of money were we grateful to have it, those of us
who got PPP loans to keep our businesses going. Yep. But why did
we have to have him in the first place? Why was the response?
I think we were talking about Walgreens losing its status because the COVID nineteen reshots
have been rejected by the public for the most part. They are off by
their numbers, are off by like eighty three percent what they expected the number
of people who have gotten the second shot versus only what seventeen percent of the
people got the first round have gotten the second round. So that has hurt
the But the point here nobody's getting the third round. No. So the
point here is that with COVID nineteen and the way the money was just flowing
here, there and everywhere without anybody watching. Where we had this story about
that that clown Sunny Perdue who was the AG secretary, and the billions of
dollars that went to his pals in Georgia and other areas in the southeast that
had no businesses, They had no business getting the money. They didn't need
it. They just got it as a lot of other people who get.
It's the farm bill itself that's going through the process now being being put together,
culled if you will, from the last one, but it's being reactivated.
It has to be ready for September and once again all of the big
agg outfits that don't need the money. The process of who gets the dough
how much money are you giving to this person's campaign yet YadA? That reflects
directly. It's the direct line, a straight line between that and what gets
what shows up in the farm build to be signed on, and it's billions
of dollars a relief that needs to go to the small family farmer then instead
goes to these big corporations. It is grift. It is you know,
remember the old the movie there was a movie called the Grifters. You know
what a grifter is? Um, I'm thinking drifter and I feel like that's
wrong. What's scrift? Well, it's a combination of graft and drift.
Graft corruption combined with somebody who drifts, who is a who would go around
and sort of take advantage of circumstances there were allowed. Have you ever seen
the movie The Sting. The Sting is paul A Newman and I have not,
and sap shot. Go see that movie or find it, you can
download it. It's one of the best movies ever made. And it's all
about grifting. Is It's a It's a fabulous movie, frankly, and that
sort of will give you a tone as to what drifting is all about.
All right, A couple of other sources here this morning. I spend as
I say, often there's fourteen or fifteen sixteen, sometimes depends on the day
what I use for sources. La Times today UM has a column that is
basically aimed at what we were just saying a few minutes ago about bud Light,
the idea of um the bigots. Some people obviously will reject that term
UM. But the this is this is another Florida things, another Ron De
Santis thing. UM this this uh, this ruling from a Florida judge that
bands the law which bands transgender treatment. The this is for everybody to think
about. So the judge, if you haven't seen this, you haven't heard
of federal judge's rejection of Florida's law, which bands transgender treatment is the It's
sort of like a pile of court rulings overturning what Ron de Santis has done.
This particular column calls it a campaign of bigotry. I call it a
campaign of ignorance. Maybe it's a little of both. Maybe those two things
go hand in hand. But that's one of the reasons he's so strident.
He's so divisive. You know, I used to think that Trump. I
used to think Obama was divisive, and he was in many ways with his
attitude toward racial stuff. And I I guess that's to be understood because he's
a black guy. But at any rate, this whole business about the bigotry
and separating and dividing our country for the benefit the political gains of a few
people, that's disgusting. It disgusts me to see how this stuff is being
used to turn people against other people who are on both sides actually basically good
people. I am Robert Strickler. My wife Joyce, and I have been

Based on a clinical study of subgroups of individuals, we're cognitively normal or mildly

freedom and they weren't influenced at all by the White House. Yeah, right,
of course, not right. You believe that no, nothing got in
the way of our investigation. Apparently that's not the case. I know you'll
find that shocking. There's somebody who works at the IRS, who has testified
before one of the Senate committees or where whoever's looking into this, and so
the IRS says, no, that's not true that the government has the president
has been involved trying to get in the way of this all along. And
by the way, Biden is still bringing his son. I'm looking at a
picture of Hunter Biden at a White House event last Friday night, looking like
the bell of the ball. Everybody wanting to go over shake his hand.
He congratulations, under, you don't have to go to jail. Well,
and what's so kind of interesting about this whole thing. Let's say this was
Donald Trump and it was Eric or John Junior. You know, Donald Trump
would be like, you aren't coming to the event, you stay away,
Like he would have no hesitation to be like, oh, you're not bringing
that that stuff over here. Pretty amazing, isn't it. Huh. These
guys think, all right, let's talk about you and where you are in
Cleveland and the smoke that's coming down from the Canadian wildfires to shroud the skies
from Cleveland to Chicago. I think even maybe further than that, but that's
the area from Cleveland across eighty and ninety to Toledo and Detroit, UM and
then into South Bend in Chicago. Wow, it's I mean, it's you
look at apps right now and it is straight up just saying it's it's dangerous
levels. It's not even severe or it's just straight up dangerous. And it
says that any exposure to the air, even for a few minutes, going
to serious health effects on everybody, not just sensitive groups. And they are
advising everyone to stay away from being outside, don't do any outdoor activities if
you don't have to. If you have to go outside, hey, you
know those masks we all had from the pandemic, those will help you a
little bit in this not a lot, but if you have to go outside
for any reason wearing one of those masks. All right, So with that
in mind, let's move south down into Texas where James is. James.
What was the high temperature yesterday in the Dallas Metroplex? It was one hundred
and two. One hundred and two, So that was cool in comparison to
Houston, which was undred eleven exactly. Yeah, right, And you go
a little bit further south, not you can't go much further south in Houston
and go east of there and the temperatures were up to hundred fourteen. Whoa,
we're out below for that. Yeah. And so here's an interesting thing
that has popped up for those of you who are conspiratorialists when it comes to
the climate. This is something that bolsters what I have said all along.
You know, you know, I always want to be right, don't.
We always always want to be right. So apparently NASA has been measuring and
this we felt it kind of there was a there's a whole thing about the
axis axis that is, the the invisible sort of pole that goes from the
north pole of the south pole that keeps the Earth kind of steady, you
know, and it turns a little because the seasons are created by the way
the Earth changes on its axis. How the Earth has its tilt right.
So apparently just before two thousand, somewhere between nineteen ninety four nineteen ninety nine,
the Earth started to go off kilter. And that is what scientists say
is a major factor in how the weather is affecting crops, households, and
our lives. It's not well, I suppose it's I guess it could be
considered global warming. But once again, here's another angle to this that I've
been saying for a long time that it isn't. I don't disagree that we
are affecting what's going on the planet. I think we absolutely are. But
I think to give it all to put the blame on humanity is nonsense and
irresponsible, frankly, because the Earth is changing as it always does. And
here's proof positive of what's going on with the Earth, and it's changing its
positions. So the weather is going to be different in the northern hemisphere,
it's going to be different in the southern hemisphere because there's a different time warp,
if you will to I don't know. This really does sound like I'm
in the weeds. But the bottom line is, excuse me that we are
changing. We're just Earth is changing the way it survives or exists. That's
really what's going on here, all right? How about that the latest from
China or another one of these Chinese things. I forgot when we were talking
about China before that there is a real problem with unemployment, and that's what
all the protesting is. Government. The Chinese government has said businesses don't hire
workers over thirty five because younger employees are cheaper and their work over time.
How about that for a reality Okay, so it's great business time for Calidron.

Thanks to Elizabeth Miller here, one of the great Calidrin consultants at toploss dot
com. Back we are now with our friend. When I say back.
He's like a constant companion. There's nothing evil about We're ourn x time being
here. Nice to have him here from what he on loan from the Pet
Show to the Good Day Show. As we talk about animals and what's going
on. Here's a warning. This happens every year. The story of a
police canine dog that died in the car from heat exhaustion. The patrol car
broke down and the air conditioning obviously went out. So why the hell would
you leave the dog in the car? I just would be my question.
If you know the car doesn't have any air conditioning, you know the car
has a problem, why in the world would you leave Well, apparently and
sort of go through this. I can understand how this might happen. The
police officer was called to a site, so he got out of the car,
left the car running. The car stopped, the car stalled, or
the car ran out of gas or whatever it did, but the car didn't
keep running. This is the Houston Police Department, though, so you'd think
that the cars would be, you know, in tip top shape. So
anyway, the dog was in the car and the car started running and that
was the end of the dog. You know, the other day, I
was driving around in Santa Monica palk next to a car had a dog in
it, and I was really angry at that point, Who's gonna leave the
dog in the car? But then there was a sign on the dashboard that
said Carus air Condition. I have it on my phone. It was I
think Lexus and other cause have this ability where it tells you the temperature and
your car console. Now, if Lexus can do that for their cars for
average consumer, why can't the average police guy be carrying something that says what
the temperature or if the heat goes a certain level in the car. Just
makes makes a lot of common sense at that point. Yeah, it really
does. Here's a mother who is charged with neglect after her pit bull attacked
a baby. I wondered about this. You talk about these all that.
You know, everybody loves to give pit bulls a bad sort of the bad
id, bad rap. This little girl lost her fingers. But why was
the dog? What was going on with the dog? Don't we need to
know that? Wouldn't you think the woman who owned the dog was arrested for
you know, child endangerment blah blah blah. You know you have to you
have to know the circumstances. You know. I remember years ago I was
working on a case in New York where a Saint Bernard attacked the child and
every said, everyone said, well, you know what, this is what
you got to do. It's a bad dog, stay away from Saint Bernard's.
No one was adopting them, blah blah blah. It turned out,
after investigation on my part, that the child had stuck a pencil into the
dog's ear. Yeah, and therefore the dog the dog reacted. So in
other words, but you know, you feel obviously you feel bad for anyone
who gets hurt by a dog. But the bottom line is it wouldn't make
any difference. There are more dog bites probably by poodles and schnoodles across the
country than pit balls, except they don't make the press. So when a
dog does something like that and his chastise, do dogs feel guilty? Do
you think there's anything psychologically in a dog? I mean, I when I'm
when I am after Charlotte a Daisy for doing something. Oh it was with
Charlotte as well, I would it made me feel worse when they looked at
me after right was after them so you know, whether they have the emotions
that we do. I guess that's the question, isn't. Yeah, Well,
you know it's interesting you brought it up. I was talking about that
on the show this week. There was you know, see, here are
something the dogs feel discussed fear, joyce, sadness, surprise, emotion,
anxiety, boredom, confusion, curiosity, disappointment, embarrassment, empathy, frustration,
grief, guilt, shame. There you go, jealousy, love,
affection, pain, positive, anticipation, and probe. These are all proven
now by universities that dogs, not all dogs, but a good amount of
dogs have all what. Listen, they've been they've been alongside of us for
how many thousands and thousands of years. Of course they're going to pick up
on the way we react to certain things. I know, for example,
I've seen dogs that were really embarrassed. I've seen dogs that were really frustrating
under what circumstance. Well, in other words, that you know, people
yelling at their dog. And this may sound crazy, but it's like when
you did something wrong and you were growing up, you don't mind getting corrected
by your parents. You just don't want to get corrected in front of your
friends for your parents. The same thing with a dog. I've seen dog
with the only yelled at the dog and pulled the dog back. They were
walking their dog, there was another dog around. I think the dog really
looked embarrassed from my perspective. And I've been doing this for a few weeks.
That interesting. Yeah, you know, it's amazing that. Let me
give you an example. I was talking on You know, I love cats.
I know you're not the best cat person, but there's something called I
laura phobia. I laura phobia is the fear of cats. A lot of
people suffer with it. But I was working with a dog this week that
had a Laura phob but the dog was fearful of cats. We'll talk about
that next week. But a dog that was afraid of cats. And I've
heard this a lot now. We'll go into it next week and I'll tell
you what happened. Fear of cats. Are you talking about going to the
Broadway show? No, we aren't, although he be afraid of going to
