Speaker 2: No, He's just a dude that Glenn grew up with.
Speaker 2: Glenn knew him before. He Okay, I've known Glenn and
Speaker 2: Mike for forty two years, Don forty one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Mitch and Glenn grew up together.
Speaker 2: His mom and their moms were best friend, like they
Speaker 2: like played canasta together or whatever, like two jewy moms,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: And Mitch. Okay.
Speaker 2: I had a great time with Mitch the other two times,
Speaker 2: but this trip I realized he is a musical savant,
Speaker 2: which you would love. And he puts his playlist on
Speaker 2: and he plays everything from Fleetwood Mac too, and you're
Speaker 2: on the boat, right, so it's extra fun when you're
Speaker 2: listening to these songs. He plays everything from Fleetwood Mac
Speaker 2: to Journey to Black Sabbath and all the hair metal
Speaker 2: bands in between songs that you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: I forgot about.
Speaker 1: This song, you know.
Speaker 2: And he is a character, and he grew up on
Speaker 2: a boat too, so anytime, like you know, we're docking,
Speaker 2: he's up and he's doing his thing. He's always up,
Speaker 2: and he's singing, and he's air guitaring perfectly, and he's
Speaker 2: air drumming perfectly. And I knows every song, every lyric
Speaker 2: to everything. And I was getting a kick out of
Speaker 2: him on this trip, and I was like, you're like
Speaker 2: a musical servant, and he just would sing and sing
Speaker 2: and there's this one lyric in the Journey song the
Speaker 2: Wheel in the Sky keeps on turning.
Speaker 1: Okay, that song. So he was singing that and then
Speaker 1: the sky keeps on turning.
Speaker 3: Right, Oh no, And he's got the same voice, right,
Speaker 3: you heard it like you sounds good.
Speaker 1: He sounds like a professional music yes.
Speaker 2: And he was singing it and I was thinking about
Speaker 2: this one lyric because I always love this lyric in
Speaker 2: the song where they he says, uh, don't think I'll
Speaker 2: have a making home again, and then he goes the
Speaker 2: morning sun is rising, It's kissing the day.
Speaker 1: I love that lyric.
Speaker 2: I think that's such a great line, the morning sun
Speaker 2: is rising, It's kissing the day. And I was looking
Speaker 2: at Mitch and in that video he gets up and
Speaker 2: he comes over to me and he sings that line
Speaker 2: and he's like, that's such a great line.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, oh my god. I
Speaker 1: love this guy. So he was great.
Speaker 2: Met his wife for the first time on the trip.
Speaker 2: I have a little Patreon about it, you have to
Speaker 2: check it out. And she was lovely, sweet, great couple,
Speaker 2: had a great time with them. Okay, so we get there,
Speaker 2: so Glenn picks us up at the crack of Down's ass,
Speaker 2: which we always say, and like, Okay, Don is down Okay,
Speaker 2: she knows, she talks a lot, she interrupts, she doesn't listen.
Speaker 2: She's one of these people like, like, you know how
Speaker 2: me like, we've been doing podcasting for a long time, right,
Speaker 2: we know how to listen and then wait for your
Speaker 2: turn and then tell your story. But down she cannot
Speaker 2: wait for her turn. If somebody said my dad loved
Speaker 2: Clint Eastwood and then was telling a story about his dad,
Speaker 2: I know how Don's brain is thinking. And I'm sitting
Speaker 2: next to her in the car ride and this guy
Speaker 2: Troy's talking about Clint Easwood, and I know, because I've
Speaker 2: heard the story a million times that Don's dad was
Speaker 2: friends because he was a teamster on the movie sets
Speaker 2: and was friends with Glynn Eastwood, and he'd babysat her
Speaker 2: in a.
Speaker 1: Dressing room one time. I know she's gonna say that story.
Speaker 2: And she's like but and this guy kept interrupting her,
Speaker 2: and I loved it, and I go, now you know
Speaker 2: how we feel when you interrupt us. And then as
Speaker 2: soon as he took a breath, she's like, my dad,
Speaker 2: I knew the story.
Speaker 1: So you guys are all lip syncing behind her.
Speaker 2: Right right, right, So where we take we have this
Speaker 2: long drives. Glenn gets to our house extra early. He's like,
Speaker 2: I got up early. I didn't want Walker to see
Speaker 2: me leave his dog and be sad, so he left
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: I have I have one dog anxiety. Just remind me
Speaker 3: after your Yeah, I have some dog anxiety. I want
Speaker 3: to tell you about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because Glenn loves Glenn and his dog are like
Speaker 2: two pieces. And he goes with him to work every day.
Speaker 2: And so he's like, he was sleeping, so he snuck out.
Speaker 2: I'm like, great, so you got here extra early. So
Speaker 2: he left it like seven fifteen, seven thirty in the morning,
Speaker 2: but it's like a three and a half hour drive,
Speaker 2: and yeah, we get there. Mike meets us there. He
Speaker 2: barbecued Glen barbecued steaks, chicken the two nights Mike. Now,
Speaker 2: Mike Gersteine is sober ten years, he's been sober. We
Speaker 2: celebrated his tenure being sober by not having a cake
Speaker 2: but just singing to two of I'm Happy Anniversary, and
Speaker 2: so Mike, you know, we're like cracking beers and drinking
Speaker 2: and stuff. And Mike's just like, can we go on
Speaker 2: the boat, And you know he's itching because he grew
Speaker 2: up on going on boats, like his parents took us
Speaker 2: camping all the time.
Speaker 1: I should have Mike Gersteine on DRUMK you should. He
Speaker 1: would love it. Yeah, he would love it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, So you know he's like Mike is just
Speaker 2: kind of like in the bat like absorbing everything. Like
Speaker 2: he's not a big talker because he blocks everybody out,
Speaker 2: especially Dawn. And like he told Don that she has
Speaker 2: tmitis too much information because when she tells us like
Speaker 2: there is I could hear it. In the hallway we
Speaker 2: were packing up to leave on on the Sunday and
Speaker 2: there was flip flops that were by the door, and
Speaker 2: Glenn goes, someone's flip flops are there, and then Don goes,
Speaker 2: they're not mine because and then he goes, no, so
Speaker 2: he comes to me and he tells me.
Speaker 1: He goes, she's got t miitis.
Speaker 2: He's like, She's like, the flip flops are not mine
Speaker 2: because I wear size eight extra wide. Mike's like, all
Speaker 2: you have to say is they're not mine. You don't
Speaker 2: have to say I got him at thrifties and then
Speaker 2: I got an accident on the way, Like you don't
Speaker 2: have to say that. Like and she's you know, but
Speaker 2: don rolls with the prunch punches. Even the new guy
Speaker 2: Troy was like, she's so cool, Like you guys constantly
Speaker 2: are like making fun of how slow she is.
Speaker 1: She walks slow. I don't want us to sound like assholes.
Speaker 1: She loves it though, like she laughs.
Speaker 2: She really genuinely gets it, like it's been so long,
Speaker 2: like we make fun of her. But that's the kind
Speaker 2: of characters I was with all weekend. Then you have
Speaker 2: Glenn who's like the main guy that we're all there,
Speaker 2: Like Mitch is there because of Glenn, you know, and us,
Speaker 2: and he's like the host and he's you know, so
Speaker 2: you got these are the characters that I was with
Speaker 2: all weekend. And we were on the boat and so
Speaker 2: Mike is like, so we get back from the boat
Speaker 2: and Glenn's got a sea do out there, and Mike
Speaker 2: gets on the sea do and I got video of
Speaker 2: him and he's doing.
Speaker 1: Boom and just spraying.
Speaker 2: We're all on the dock and he's just spraying us,
Speaker 2: just getting drenched head to toe. We're all dressed like
Speaker 2: doing you know, the burnout and then spraying us and
Speaker 2: then taking off and coming back and spraying us. It
Speaker 2: was hilarious. Then hmm. I did go for a ride
Speaker 2: with Mike on the seado. It was one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty degrees. It was like, that's how hot it was.
Speaker 2: It was so brutally hot. Even on the boat. That
Speaker 2: air is like an oven, it's got a bite to it.
Speaker 2: Like we had to keept, we had to.
Speaker 1: Keep stopping getting in the water and just getting wet.
Speaker 1: That's how hot.
Speaker 2: And at night did not cool down like it was
Speaker 2: still very very hot. And then the next night we
Speaker 2: were going to go for a ride on the sea do.
Speaker 2: Everybody's gonna make fun of me. But so Glenn's like,
Speaker 2: I'll take you. Because Glenn had to take the sea
Speaker 2: dow to get gas or something. He's like, come on,
Speaker 2: let you know, I go. I want to go for
Speaker 2: a ride. So the water was really choppy in front
Speaker 2: of his house and there was a current and Mike
Speaker 2: and Glenn are standing there.
Speaker 1: Of course Glenn has video of it.
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to get on the back of the
Speaker 2: sea Do and the thing's rocking back and forth and
Speaker 2: I just can't get my grip and I just fall off,
Speaker 2: and then you see Glenn, Mike is laughing. Mike's like
Speaker 2: laughing and laughing, and then you see Glenny reaches out
Speaker 2: for me, pulls me back with all his might, gets
Speaker 2: me onto the seado again. It's rocking back and forth.
Speaker 2: I'm almost on, almost on bam back.
Speaker 1: Into the water.
Speaker 2: I start floating away with the current and I'm going
Speaker 2: I'm headed to go underneath the next door neighbors.
Speaker 1: Doc. My head's going under eat there, Glenn.
Speaker 3: You see him swimming out, swimming out, grabs me anything arm,
Speaker 3: pulls me with all his might, and then he's like
Speaker 3: aborting the miss.
Speaker 1: She's like, we're not.
Speaker 2: We're not going on the seat, like you can't, Like
Speaker 2: I fell off three times cause I couldn't get on it.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. But that's that's how much fun for you, tipsy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like on the boat all day drinking,
Speaker 2: you know, if we didn't need dinner yet, you know.
Speaker 2: And then Don passes out on the couch, which I
Speaker 2: sent you a picture of, and I talked him into
Speaker 2: not They were going to try and write on her
Speaker 2: like we used to do, but I don't think they
Speaker 2: were really gonna do it. But Don sleeps with one
Speaker 2: eye open because anytime any camo he came near to her,
Speaker 2: She's like, what are you guys doing? But then she
Speaker 2: goes back to snoring.
Speaker 1: Right, She's such.
Speaker 2: A loud And then I share a room with her
Speaker 2: and she's up in all times, in the middle of
Speaker 2: the night to go to the bathroom, and she's talking.
Speaker 2: When she wakes up three point thirty, I'm sleeping and
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, are you talking to me? And
Speaker 2: she's like no, I'm just I'm trying to be quiet,
Speaker 2: And I go, well, then stop talking.
Speaker 1: You're not tried that hard, Like why are you talking.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I have to get my pills. Like
Speaker 2: she's got all this medications she's got to take all
Speaker 2: the time. And it's like, but God, lover. But here's
Speaker 2: the best story of Don. We were on our way home.
Speaker 2: We were on the road trip back to go home.
Speaker 2: We stopped at a gas station. There's a Starbucks inside
Speaker 2: and Glenn has to get gas. So the guy, Glenn
Speaker 2: and Troy are in the truck and they're at the
Speaker 2: gas pump.
Speaker 1: Starbucks is taking forever.
Speaker 2: So I go, Don, I'm going to go back to
Speaker 2: the car bring them their drinks. I get back to
Speaker 2: the car, I can't find them.
Speaker 1: They moved.
Speaker 2: So they're now moved out of the pump and they're
Speaker 2: just parked on the side of the gas station and
Speaker 2: it's along like black suburban trump that Glenn rented for
Speaker 2: the trip so that we'd have room. So I'm watching
Speaker 2: for Don because I know she's gonna go the other
Speaker 2: direction where we dropped us off to the pumps. She's
Speaker 2: not gonna know because it took me a second to
Speaker 2: find him. So I go, So I go, there's Don.
Speaker 2: I go, hank the horn.
Speaker 1: Hanked.
Speaker 2: There she goes, and we're watching her walk out of
Speaker 2: the Starbucks and she walks to somebody else's black truck
Speaker 2: and she opens the back door and she got a
Speaker 2: and we're like, oh, no.
Speaker 1: She's getting in the truck. She's getting the truck.
Speaker 2: And she opens the truck and we're watching it, like
Speaker 2: she gets in the truck and then the then we
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 1: We're like, hopefully nobody's in the truck.
Speaker 2: Guy in the front seat gets out and like helps
Speaker 2: her get out of the truck.
Speaker 1: No, how does she not know we have pillows in.
Speaker 2: The back, Like, I'm sure that guy didn't have our
Speaker 2: pillows in the back of the truck. She actually got
Speaker 2: into the back of the truck. That's not the end
Speaker 2: of the story.
Speaker 1: She gets I guess we're.
Speaker 2: Still kind of far. So Glenn's like Don yelling for her. Don,
Speaker 2: we're over here.
Speaker 1: She doesn't here.
Speaker 2: She's getting everybody's daff by the way, everybody's got add two.
Speaker 1: So she gets out of.
Speaker 2: The truck and she's like laughing to herself and we're
Speaker 2: watching her.
Speaker 1: She walks to another truck and gets in, and we're.
Speaker 2: Like, oh my god, she's getting in somebody else's truck now.
Speaker 4: And Glenn yells out and goes, sorry, that's our mom.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, and she was laughing about it.
Speaker 1: But whatever.
Speaker 2: So that's the story of Don and uh, it was
Speaker 2: a great time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, great music. Don does seem like a liability.
Speaker 2: She kind of is. She kind of is. But you know,
Speaker 2: these guys are so sweet. This guy Mitch just met
Speaker 2: Don these last three times on these trips. He's like,
Speaker 2: everybody's like, like, you know, they'll pull up to the
Speaker 2: front of the restaurant to drop down off so she
Speaker 2: doesn't have to walk. They'll grab her suitcase and grab
Speaker 2: her and everybody's very good about you know, and Don's great,
Speaker 2: like she it's like.
Speaker 3: Me when I picked up those old people at the
Speaker 3: assisted living exactly.
Speaker 1: Made sure I had room in my trunk for their walker.
Speaker 2: Right exactly. That's how it is. That's how it is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, you know. And then when she was getting off,
Speaker 2: oh my god, trying to get her out of the boat,
Speaker 2: down the ladder, into the ocean or into the river
Speaker 2: is such an arduous but like Mike, God bless him,
Speaker 2: he was helping her all the time with that like
Speaker 2: give me your hand, just shut up, stop talking, give
Speaker 2: me your hand. I don't it's like you know, yelling
Speaker 2: at but like in the night, you know, And he's
Speaker 2: helping her and then helps her back down, Like she
Speaker 2: takes forever to get in and out of the boat.
Speaker 2: But you know, everybody's got patience for that.
Speaker 1: Is this because of all her swelling?
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's got a lot of healthy Yes, she got
Speaker 2: a lot of health issues.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like she very slow walker, Like she walks very slow.
Speaker 2: Like Glenn will be like, everybody, get in the truck.
Speaker 2: You know, Don'll be there in about two hours type
Speaker 2: of time it takes her to get out of the
Speaker 2: house and get into the truck, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, but it's fun. Everybody's fine. Like it was.
Speaker 3: It was just great.
Speaker 2: It's just great being with your friends that you know,
Speaker 2: your old school friends like that. But camp it sounds
Speaker 2: like it's kind of like camp for adults.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a good couple of days. And still
Speaker 2: fighting this cold from last week. But yeah, now I
Speaker 2: got a busy week. Sorry, got a busy week because
Speaker 2: my house closes this Friday, and got to sign some papers.
Speaker 2: Wendy's coming to town tomorrow night because she's like, I
Speaker 2: want to be there when you get your keys. Like,
Speaker 2: she's like, I want to be there with you. I
Speaker 2: want to see the house. Like she's done, like she
Speaker 2: can't wait. So she's coming in tomorrow night. That Tali
Speaker 2: wants me to go out to Santa Barbara sometime this week. Actually,
Speaker 2: she moved into her new place while I was gone.
Speaker 2: Her dad helped her. Oh wow, now she's calling me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: her dad helped her move in. So she's like, I
Speaker 2: just need like a little bit of help. So maybe
Speaker 2: Wendy and I will go one day this week.
Speaker 1: But but all her stuff is at her new place.
Speaker 2: Like her furniture is put together. Thank god, because last
Speaker 2: two times I had to do it. We had to
Speaker 2: call like task rabbit, you know, to put her bed
Speaker 2: together and stuff like that kind of stuff. So she
Speaker 2: got moved in pretty good. So she's pretty settled.
Speaker 1: So he helped her put her bed together.
Speaker 2: He helped her put like all, yeah, get the stuff
Speaker 2: out of storage, her furniture out of storage, put her
Speaker 2: TV up, you know that.
Speaker 1: Kind of stuff. Okay, yeah, that was nice.
Speaker 2: And then she was spent the night with her dad
Speaker 2: last night and Sonny went with his friends to Manhattan
Speaker 2: Beach last night.
Speaker 3: So wait, so she's not living there yet. No, okay,
Speaker 3: so she did all that, moved in, but then came back.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one of her roommates is living there.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, she doesn't really need to live there, right
Speaker 3: because she's not she's not taking a class.
Speaker 1: No, not yet.
Speaker 2: She's gonna be going back in like two weeks. Oh
Speaker 2: really Yeah that's soon, Yeah, pretty quick. I want her
Speaker 2: to get to Santa Barbara and settled before we move
Speaker 2: our house, so I not to.
Speaker 1: You know, course whatever. So and then, but.
Speaker 3: You're gonna move in like slowly throughout the month, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: I gotta I gotta get that figured out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna slowly move in. But then then we're
Speaker 2: gonna have a move where all the furniture goes. And
Speaker 2: what I want to do is I want to get
Speaker 2: the Wi Fi up. I want to get everything running.
Speaker 2: I need to put in a new electrical panel. That's
Speaker 2: like the first thing I have to do. Oh you do, yes,
Speaker 2: Because the electrical panel, Glenn said, is no bueno because
Speaker 2: I need to get my car charger going over there, right,
Speaker 2: And Glenn's like, that's not gonna So I got to
Speaker 2: get I had he gave men electrician like, he helped
Speaker 2: me with all of that. So so that's the kind
Speaker 2: of stuff I want to do and then have a
Speaker 2: moving date.
Speaker 3: We were lucky because we had already upgraded our panel
Speaker 3: because when we converted our garage into a bedroom, it
Speaker 3: needed its own panel, right because the other panel was
Speaker 3: already handling a full house, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And it kind of puts it over the top when
Speaker 3: you build it when you have a big room that's
Speaker 3: got a bathroom with lots of outlets and its own thing.
Speaker 3: So we just butt the bigger panel was in the back,
Speaker 3: so we paid extra money to have our charger hooked
Speaker 3: up to the larger panel. That could handle so that
Speaker 3: our so it's quicker.
Speaker 1: Right right, See, I wouldn't know anything.
Speaker 2: And also this guy Troy that when I were tripp
Speaker 2: he works for DWP, so he told me like what number. Well,
Speaker 2: I don't know, Glenn knows of what I should have
Speaker 2: in that house kind of house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just going to say that I just
Speaker 3: love having an electric car and a charger. I know, great,
Speaker 3: you do it for anybody that's thinking about it. I
Speaker 3: know we had our complaints about electric cars, and I
Speaker 3: know when I first got it, or when I was
Speaker 3: going to get it, I was, you know, complaining, But
Speaker 3: ever since then, it's it's a dream, isn't it a
Speaker 3: great time? I was complaining honestly was when I had
Speaker 3: to go to Ralph's and wait in line. But as
Speaker 3: soon as we got our own charger, I've never had
Speaker 3: to do that again.
Speaker 1: Right, And no, no, it's great and it can't go
Speaker 1: get it far.
Speaker 3: I noticed that electric cars do drain faster when you're
Speaker 3: running the AC. Yeah yeah, isn't that the same for
Speaker 3: a gas car? I would think, yeah, yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 3: takes more energy. But still, like drove to Irvine and
Speaker 3: back we charged up. We charged up to like ninety percent.
Speaker 3: Normally we charged to eighty. Yeah, I mean we charged
Speaker 3: to ninety drove the he drove to Irvine basically a
Speaker 3: little bit further than Irvine and then back.
Speaker 1: And we still have like forty percent. Yeah. See, it's
Speaker 1: it's nice, it is, it's great.
Speaker 2: I mean when an Italian ran on of gas, it
Speaker 2: was like you see, like so you know, Sonny's going
Speaker 2: to get his car pretty soon, but he's not.
Speaker 3: Getting an electric car now, yeah, because you don't want
Speaker 3: like like guy said, yeah, you drive into Oregon, it's like, no,
Speaker 3: find a place to lug in.
Speaker 1: But the gas prices are so crazy. I know.
Speaker 3: That's another thing, right, It's one way that we definitely
Speaker 3: save money. Yeah, because our prius it you hardly ever
Speaker 3: have to get gas in that car. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: hardly ever. Yeah, and then when you do get gas,
Speaker 3: you only need like it's.
Speaker 1: Like ten gallons.
Speaker 3: It holds, right, So then we use our Ralphs discount
Speaker 3: for you know, we get our points. Yeah, takes a
Speaker 3: little money off the toak. Anyway, it's just like kind
Speaker 3: of such a dream.
Speaker 1: It is a dream. It's really nice. What is what
Speaker 1: car are you getting for Sunny he's going to.
Speaker 2: Get another He's going to get a Mercedes that that's
Speaker 2: like our family car now, just like the at like
Speaker 2: the small suv.
Speaker 1: Got it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's good. He needs an all wheel drive,
Speaker 2: I think for Oregon.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they make them with all wheel drive. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's cool. Yeah. I was just going to tell you
Speaker 3: that this is like a shout out for our girl, Karen,
Speaker 3: my GLP lady, which I can do because we don't
Speaker 3: have an ad for GOLP one. And so I first
Speaker 3: started my journey sorry for using that word last October,
Speaker 3: and I was just so excited the other day because
Speaker 3: and so I get it from her regularly. Now, I

Speaker 3: to the park, like I've lost interest in wearing a bra, yes,
Speaker 3: when I just am going to the park, and I'm like, listen,
Speaker 3: it's on you. If you want to be looking at
Speaker 3: my boobs, that's your problem. But so I was like,
Speaker 3: in that same mindset, I'm like, Okay, who cares. I'm
Speaker 3: just in the car with my kid. So I go
Speaker 3: to take him to his friend's house and we get
Speaker 3: there and he's texting his friend and his friends like,

Speaker 3: And I was like, well, I am pretty hungry, Like
Speaker 3: I was going to just drop you off and then
Speaker 3: go right back home and get some food. So I

Speaker 3: So now I'm the person that's like out at a
Speaker 3: subway like doing stuff like no bra, just a T
Speaker 3: shirt with boobs hanging down.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I guess I've officially cross
Speaker 1: over that line.

Speaker 3: I was always like, oh my god, she had big
Speaker 3: boobs like me. Ras would be hanging down by her
Speaker 3: waist right and I was just like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: put a bra on. I don't think she owned a bra.

Speaker 3: So anyway, I ask Jemini, I'm like, Hey, here's my situation.
Speaker 3: I have a fifty pound two year old dog. I
Speaker 3: want to get pet insurance. What do you think are
Speaker 3: my best options? Like, what's the best deal? So then
Speaker 3: it's giving me like, okay, well here's what a lot
Speaker 3: of people use, and healthy pause and this I had
Speaker 3: healthy Pause with Penelope. And what I didn't love is
Speaker 3: that that, Oh my god, once she reached a certain age,
Speaker 3: I swear to God, the premium the deductible, not the
Speaker 3: premium like doubled and then tripled.
Speaker 2: We were just talking about this on the trip that
Speaker 2: somebody was saying that about their dog. As the dog
Speaker 2: got older, it got more expensive.
Speaker 3: But way more expensive. Like I understand it gets more expensive.
Speaker 3: But when we first had her, I think we paid
Speaker 3: nineteen dollars a month and at the end and we
Speaker 3: were not using like services. She never had a surgery.
Speaker 3: Nothing that was ever wrong with Penelope was something that
Speaker 3: was covered. So it was like several times we had
Speaker 3: to get teeth pulled, not covered. So it doesn't go
Speaker 3: against your deductible. Nothing, And the exams don't go against
Speaker 3: your deductible. Now in California, specifically in Los Angeles, just
Speaker 3: the exam alone is way more expensive than other parts
Speaker 3: of the country. So it's average just for the checkup
Speaker 3: itself is like ninety bucks. So anytime you bring your
Speaker 3: dog in for something else, if they haven't had a
Speaker 3: check up, they're they're gonna charge you for the check.
Speaker 1: To look at them.
Speaker 3: And then unless it's something like you just need medication
Speaker 3: or you need their poop check for.
Speaker 1: Okay, doesn't matter.
Speaker 3: I tell AI that and it says, here's some of
Speaker 3: your options, and I'm like, okay, I want because some
Speaker 3: of them have a cap a year that's like you
Speaker 3: could do like twenty five hundred dollars, you could do
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars. I was like, now I want ten
Speaker 3: thousand dollars cap because if something goes wrong with Bob.
Speaker 3: So I'm saying here's the thing. They're like, okay, the
Speaker 3: dog's healthy, I go no pre existing conditions. So they
Speaker 3: were telling me about Spot Pet Insurance, which is by
Speaker 3: the way, what I used is not a commercial for Spot.
Speaker 3: But I was like, what are some of the ones
Speaker 3: that are low priced but also cover or your your
Speaker 3: wellness check or your exam goes against the deductible And
Speaker 3: they're like, then you're going to be looking at Spot
Speaker 3: or then they're telling me about lemonade.
Speaker 1: There's these big ones.
Speaker 3: Okay, I go, okay, I go, let me let me
Speaker 3: stop you right there though, and I'm typing this, I go,
Speaker 3: my dog does tend to eat things that are not food.
Speaker 3: I go, that would be our biggest problem. So if
Speaker 3: something happens, that's going to be what happened. Oh, because
Speaker 3: they tell you things like, okay, well, if your dog,
Speaker 3: this type of dog is probably going to end up
Speaker 3: with something stuck in its foot because you're taking it
Speaker 3: to the park and it's going to you know.
Speaker 1: So I go, the main thing.
Speaker 3: Is my dog just eats, yes, paper, find stuff at
Speaker 3: the park and eats it. So I goes, okay, hold on,
Speaker 3: this changes things. What you're what you're telling me is
Speaker 3: that your dog treats the park like a buffet. I
Speaker 3: totally laughed out loud, and then I went and told John.
Speaker 3: I was like John, I go, my AI has my
Speaker 3: sense of humor. And then you laugh and John goes, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's because it's tuned to you already.
Speaker 1: And I, oh, that's a thought. It was just funny.
Speaker 2: That's so funny though. That's interesting, yeah, interesting, interesting.
Speaker 3: PERSI So then at the end, I go, okay, I go, listen,
Speaker 3: I got it. I go you had oh because it
Speaker 3: was like, well, I said, what about Costco? Because I
Speaker 3: belong to Costco. They have their own insurance, that's what
Speaker 3: Glenn has. Yeah, and it goes, oh, that's called Fido. Okay,
Speaker 3: but here's the issue with that. Fido is going to
Speaker 3: make you wait. I forgot what it was, but it
Speaker 3: was like, here's here's the thing that's the difference. If
Speaker 3: you're deciding between Spot and Fido. Fido this Spot that
Speaker 3: you're going to have this waiting period. It's not going
Speaker 3: to cover if something goes on with your dog's joints.
Speaker 1: Fine, you know whatever.
Speaker 3: So I go, okay, okay, okay, I go, I got
Speaker 3: I'm going to go with Spot.
Speaker 1: You sold me?
Speaker 3: And then I go do you get a kickback? And
Speaker 3: then I had this whole thing where it was like
Speaker 3: oh my god, no, no, I'm ai like, I'm neutral.
Speaker 3: My job is just to find you the lowest rate.
Speaker 3: Like how would I even how would I get a kickback?
Speaker 1: This is what it was saying to me. It goes, I.
Speaker 3: Don't have a bank account or like where am I
Speaker 3: going to put it? And I was like, okay, all right, relax,
Speaker 3: don't yell at me.
Speaker 1: I just thought that is so funny. That's funny. I know.
Speaker 1: Are you going with spot? Yes, I already did it
Speaker 1: sold me. I'm going to get that as immediately too,
Speaker 1: as soon as I get my dog. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So it's fifty dollars a month, but I feel it's
Speaker 3: going to be money well spent because listen, you could
Speaker 3: go a couple of years without having a problem, right,
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: And it is.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's for like everyday stuff like but
Speaker 3: but you know, you're my deductibles five hundred dollars they're
Speaker 3: going to pay out. The payout is eighty percent. But
Speaker 3: every if I have to take him to the vet,
Speaker 3: like what would happen with Penelope is she'd need to
Speaker 3: go to the vet, and this happened with Phil in clusters,
Speaker 3: like something would go wrong, then I would need to
Speaker 3: follow up. Then I would need something else then like
Speaker 3: the he was having diary, she was having diarrheas, and
Speaker 3: then I had to get the poop checked, and then
Speaker 3: we'd have blood work because then she needed to go
Speaker 3: on the arthritis medication. Then we wanted to try Librella.
Speaker 3: So you'd suddenly find yourself having like four appointments within
Speaker 3: a few months, plus blood work, so you can cover
Speaker 3: easily the five hundred and if something's going wrong right then,
Speaker 3: if God forbid Bob needed surgery because he ate a
Speaker 3: fucking plastic ramiic in a ranch dressing at the park,
Speaker 3: you know, then it's covered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I gotta get that. I have to get that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I will just say this.
Speaker 2: When we were on our trip, everybody was talking about
Speaker 2: their dogs, and it's fine, but then like on the
Speaker 2: on the way home, Glenn said, I gotta get I
Speaker 2: can't wait to get home to Walker. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's like that was I used to love coming home
Speaker 2: to Phil. And then Don said the same thing and
Speaker 2: can't wait to get to Homeline.
Speaker 1: And then Glenn sent me a video I have to
Speaker 1: show it to you of his dog. When he got home.
Speaker 2: He came out and he was like kind of like
Speaker 2: what he was wagging his tail like are you real?
Speaker 2: Kind of thing, and then he attacked him and you
Speaker 2: could hear him crying. He was like and he was
Speaker 2: like jumping and jumping and jumping on waggon his Taye.
Speaker 1: That's the cutest video, but you can hear him crying.
Speaker 3: Docs are like, really, I mean, they have so many feelings,
Speaker 3: like they miss you when you're gone. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: Bob is so happy to see me. If I've gone
Speaker 3: twenty minutes or if I've been gone all day, he
Speaker 3: goes crazy and he's just like all over me. Right,
Speaker 3: I'm just and I was just going to say, I'm
Speaker 3: just so worried and anxious about and listen, I get it.
Speaker 3: I already have anxiety, but I'm so anxious about leaving
Speaker 3: because I'm leaving this weekend. Oh, going out of town.
Speaker 3: I leave Thursday morning very early. Can't walk him Thursday morning,
Speaker 3: so the kids are gonna have to walk him Thursday morning,
Speaker 3: Thursday night, Friday morning, Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night,
Speaker 3: Sunday morning, Sunday night.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of That is a lot time. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna miss you, I know.
Speaker 3: And he's he gets he does not respond to the
Speaker 3: kids the way he does with me, although he really
Speaker 3: likes Sadie. And so I think I told you this before.
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna have Sadie sleep in our bed, yeah,
Speaker 3: so that he can sleep in bed with somebody where
Speaker 3: you guys going again, We're going to Williamstown for myne wedding.
Speaker 3: For the wedding, right, yeah, but I'll be home. We'll

Speaker 3: figure out. I mean, we're going to have them try
Speaker 3: to walk him sooner tonight, yeah, just to make sure
Speaker 3: that he'll go with them.
Speaker 1: Right, but if you're not.
Speaker 2: If he does and go with them and you're around,
Speaker 2: he might give you an issue. But if you're not around,
Speaker 2: he's going to have to go with them, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, I don't know what he's gonna That's
Speaker 2: what I'm assuming. He's not going to just refuse all walks, right.
Speaker 2: I mean he was for a while refusing to go
Speaker 2: with John. But you're right, it was usually if I
Speaker 2: was home. Yeah, see, they that's how Phil would be, like,
Speaker 2: he would want me to do it whatever, you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but like, but if I wasn't around,
