33
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,039
Speaker 1: Right, Like, first question for you is you know, how's

34
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,439
it been?

35
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 2: You can't let it go?

36
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,759
Speaker 1: No? Why why let it go? I think, Well, for

37
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,840
those of you who are listening and not watching, in

38
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:27,560
case you don't know, you know, a couple weeks ago,

39
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,000
my dad did the old shaved head. I just want

40
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,240
to know, like I have you do you like it?

41
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:37,319
Speaker 2: It's do? I like not having to worry about it? Yeah?

42
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,360
But here's the thing. I don't have the normal balding. Okay,

43
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,800
I don't have that normal balding where it actually still

44
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,400
looks good when you're balding I have the crown balding,

45
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:52,919
as we've talked about in past episodes. So even Mark said,

46
00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:56,639
this makes me look less bald if that makes sense,

47
00:02:56,759 --> 00:02:57,120
does it?

48
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,199
Speaker 1: I guess it's it's like hides in plain sight.

49
00:03:01,439 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: You know that's that's a good that's a good way

50
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,800
of looking at it. And you make it sound like

51
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,280
your hair is so damn great. Jeez, your your hair

52
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,000

54
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:16,319
Speaker 1: I'm not starting to. It's starting to starting to get

55
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,719
those whites though, starting to get those whites. I just

56
00:03:18,759 --> 00:03:21,479
pulled one out before the show. Gotta be camera ready.

57
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:25,599

Speaker 1: Hair I have. Yeah, I do have pretty good hair.

61
00:03:34,719 --> 00:03:36,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have amazing hair.

thank you? Not you?

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,159
Speaker 1: Well, you did have nice hair.

67
00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:48,719
Speaker 2: I did so long time ago.

68
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,879
Speaker 1: I'm very afraid of what can happen to me.

69
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then once you get married and then you

70
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:58,120
have a you and another you. Then the hair starts

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,759
to fall out and you you have a you, so expect. Yeah,

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,479
you know what I mean, you gotta expect.

73
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,879
Speaker 1: That is the Do you have a new appreciation for

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,840
like the wind things of that nature on the scalp?

75
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it feels more like freeing because I had

76
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,639
I had like the little tuft in the front here.

77
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: It was a blocker.

78
00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so every once in a while the wind would

79
00:04:25,199 --> 00:04:26,879
like hit it and it would just kind of like

80
00:04:27,079 --> 00:04:30,879
just feel like there was like an insect on my head.

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,199
But yeah, but now I just get the wind. It

82
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:35,959
feels better.

83
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,879
Speaker 1: It's like skinny dipping, like something feels good about this something. Yeah,

84
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,279
it was.

85
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:44,959
Speaker 2: It's it's I forget that I did it, and I

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,439
have people coming up to me going, oh my god,

87
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,079
what'd you do to your hair? And then I go, oh,

88
00:04:50,959 --> 00:04:54,600
like you noticed, you know, it's it's what I did

89
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,920
was a seven F blade though.

90
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: Hey, now we're talking about grooming again.

91
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,519
Speaker 2: Look at that right into grooming.

92
00:04:59,560 --> 00:04:59,959
Speaker 1: So I did.

93
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: I did it with a seven F bleak. Guys, saw

94
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,879
all you dog groomers out there that want this look,

95
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,160
If you're looking for this loo, then just it's a

96
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:10,240
seven f bleaed just.

97
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: All of this could be yours. Just watch our videos

99
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:19,639
Speaker 2: Like you know we're doing. I'm gonna do a diy

100
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:19,920
on it.

101
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you should.

102
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:24,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like you know, you have to really appreciate it.

103
00:05:24,399 --> 00:05:26,720
It's easy to like wipe the head down, like I

104
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,120
wipe it down. I get a wipe, wipe it up.

105
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,600
You don't need to wash your hair no more.

106
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,519
Speaker 1: Just wipe it dries real quick. I'm sure. M Yeah

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,480
that's good. I'm glad. I'm still glad you did it.

108
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,319
Speaker 2: Thanks man.

109
00:05:37,439 --> 00:05:39,079
Speaker 1: I was just checking in on it, that's all. I

110
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:40,439
want to see what it's like.

111
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it feels good. It feels good aging, you know, everything,

112
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,079
and it all comes together after a while. The hernia

113
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,360
is coming together, you know, the varicos veins are kind

114
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,279
of like blending into the hernia area. So it's like

115
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,720
all one pain. Now it's not you know what I mean.

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,759
It's like hernia vericos vein pain. You know, wake up

117
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:04,279
in the morning, can't feel the right leg for a while.

118
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one pain. That's fine.

119
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:09,439
Speaker 2: The body adjusts.

120
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:12,639
Speaker 1: Just yeah, that's true. You're your pain tolerance, like you

121
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:16,759
you do fine in like a torture thing. Yeah, they

122
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,680
really what what can they do to you that you

123
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:25,199
haven't already experienced in one way or the other? You know,

124
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,000
you know, you've you've I've heard you say countless times

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,680
throughout the years that you know it burns. So go ahead,

126
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:33,399
take a flame to them, you know, take a blow

127
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:35,319
torch to them. He knows what that is.

128
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:36,759
Speaker 2: Let's see him what you can handle.

129
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: Yes, you know it's not you. You you feel that

130
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,439
plus grooming, so you know, if you.

131
00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: Are a groomer, that's what you have to look forward

132
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,439
to a lot of aches and pains in the near future,

133
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,240
you know, like, yeah, I like to watch these young

134
00:06:51,319 --> 00:06:54,920
cats man, just you know, grooming away. I do dogs

135
00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:55,360
a day.

136
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:00,319
Speaker 1: Yeah wait, yeah, those days are done.

137
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: But let's talk about grooming though. Let's let's get into this.

138
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,800
So the topic is, you know, why why do some

139
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,639
groomers refuse your dog? We know this all too well, guys,

140
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,920
because there's there's a bunch of reasons. Number one reason

141
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,600
I think a lot of times dog groomers will end

142
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,600
up having to refuse your dog is because they're just

143
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:23,839
over overbooked. They just have too many too many dogs,

144
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:26,720
too many clients, and you know, the get a bunch

145
00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:31,199
of walk ins or assuming that people assuming that they

146
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,920
can just maybe get their dog groom that day, then

147
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,120
they find out they have to wait a month. Uh

148
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,000
and and you know they have to go elsewhere. That

149
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,240
that's probably the number one reason. But I want to

150
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,639
get into like the more in depth reasons why.

151
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,279
Speaker 1: You know, that's all we got to show.

152
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: So overbooking definitely is one of them. Also, you know,

153
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:59,319
if your dog is like an extreme biter, or your

154
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,120
dog is just jumping around, moving around too much, it

155
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:05,000
might be too much for that groomer to handle. And

156
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,879
we talk about this a lot, guys. I mean it's

157
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,279
it's that type of job where some some groomers will

158
00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:13,759
handle it well and they'll take the time to do it,

159
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:17,079
and and other groomers are just you know, kind of

160
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,079
their backs are against the wall. They're they're relying on

161
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120
their grooming business or their job to support their families,

162
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,519
and they just don't have the extra time to take

163
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,120
to deal with a you know, a dog that's just

164
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,000
not taking to it, and it can get very dangerous.

165
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,600
And especially it's just as dangerous where the dog jumping

166
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:41,320
around as it is a dog like biting, you.

167
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: Know, and same kind of risks. Really yeah. The difference is,

168
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,120
you know, a dog biting the biggest thing outside of

169
00:08:50,159 --> 00:08:52,480
you getting bit yourself as the dog biting the clippers

170
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:56,799
and getting hurt from that, getting injured from that. So

171
00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:59,600
it's the same risk with the dog just being jumpy,

172
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,159
is that you know, it can get hurt one wrong

173
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,919
move and now you chop the nipple off.

174
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it happens all the time.

175
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:11,440
You know. We had a dog just the other day

176
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,600
just wouldn't let me get near its rear. It was

177
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,399
a female and it was matted all just congested in

178
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,279
the butt area, the sphincter area, the vulva. It was

179
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,720
just like solid matt And here's a dog just jumping around,

180
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,519
does not want me near it. So the challenge is

181
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:32,799
how am I getting this mad out? How am I

182
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,480
getting a ten blade? Even a thirty blade? I actually

183
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,480
had to use like a fifteen or a thirty because

184
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,559
the mats were so bad up and around her privates.

185
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,639
There again with the dog jumping around, coming around on me,

186
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:48,919
trying to just get doing anything to get me to

187
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,399
stop doing it, until Anthony steps in and helps me

188
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,879
hold the dog, and you know, Anthony holds the dog

189
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,320
up in a certain way where you know it's hand

190
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:03,960
is like right up in the lower rib cage where

191
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,600
I can still access where the mats are. Again, groomers

192
00:10:09,639 --> 00:10:14,600
working alone, it's so tough. We highly suggest that anybody

193
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:18,080
out there who's a professional dog groomer have an assistant,

194
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,080
have somebody help you, and vice versa. You know, you

195
00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:23,840
got to help each other, because it really has become

196
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:24,919
a two person job.

197
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how. Maybe it's just because I'm so

198
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,759
used to us working together, but I don't know how

199
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:34,080
anybody can groom on their own in the shop setting.

200
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,600
I understand, like at home is different, but I don't

201
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,639
know how you could run a grooming business without at

202
00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:42,639
least an apprentice or a second groomer there who does

203
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,120
their own dogs or however, because it's really common that

204
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:49,679
you need me at the table. Oh even for nail

205
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:55,120
clips where the dog is good. It's sometimes in certain

206
00:10:56,279 --> 00:11:00,840
like positions you can't on your own doing safely without

207
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,159
making sure the dog doesn't accidentally back off the table

208
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240
or whatever. So even a dog that's behaving can be

209
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,720
a two person job. Absolutely, I don't know how they

210
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,120
do it. Yeah, no, even with the small uh, with

211
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,039
Dolores's little sheetsos. I mean, you know, we did a

212
00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:16,440
video on the tiny, little tiny sheets. I mean the

213
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,120
dog is literally this big. So it's very difficult to

214
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,879
just for one person to do it because the dog

215
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,120
is very nervous and it's shaky, and you know, the

216
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,039
paws are so dainty that you don't you want to

217
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,559
be careful how you lift them. Anthony just holds the dog.

218
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,279
Speaker 2: Anthony will just hold a dog like this against his

219
00:11:33,399 --> 00:11:37,080
chest and I clip the nails. And that's not even

220
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,759
like a bad dog. It's not a dog trying to

221
00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:42,399
bite or anything. It's just a normal dog that does

222
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,559
better if you're holding it, you know. But yeah, again,

223
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:54,399
these are the challenges in the dog rooming industry. And again,

224
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:57,159
staying on focus with the topic of the show is

225
00:11:57,159 --> 00:12:01,080
why dog roomers might be refusing you another big one,

226
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,720
And again we get into this like crazy part of

227
00:12:03,759 --> 00:12:08,480
it is just customers just or you know, having a

228
00:12:08,519 --> 00:12:14,320
really really high expectation and constantly complaining, like add that

229
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,000
the dog is unruly, doesn't want it done. And on

230
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,279
top of that, the customers saying, oh, I didn't like

231
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,320
the way you did the head the last time, or

232
00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:28,360
you know they or they want the dog back immediately,

233
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,679
you know, oh, I want them back in an hour.

234
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,799
It creates a lot of pressure on a dog groomer

235
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,320
when you come in and say, oh, I need my

236
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,799
beijon done by twelve o'clock and you have six other

237
00:12:40,879 --> 00:12:42,120
dogs to groom that day.

238
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: I think that some people, because I actually didn't know

239
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,559
this where I get my haircut, I decided against my

240
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,519
father's seven f blade skills.

241
00:12:51,799 --> 00:12:52,399
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

242
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm not sure either, but I just

243
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,519
I took the risk out in the world instead of

244
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,399
going with the professional. And yeah, apparently a lot of

245
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,240
barbers and salons take walkins, and I guess maybe it's

246
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,000
just sort of like the lack of knowledge on the

247
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,960
whole thing. But like groomers don't take walkins. I can't

248
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,879
imagine anyway that they would. Doesn't really make much sense. So, like,

249
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,519
you add that to the pressures of not liking how

250
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,720
it came out, or especially when you have a puppy,

251
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,799
When you have a puppy and you're worried about how

252
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:34,000
it looks after they're like first grooming, whatever groomer just

253
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:35,720
did your puppy for you is not going to want

254
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,559
to do it again because you're already into the looks

255
00:13:38,759 --> 00:13:41,960
aspect of it, and you know, the fluffiness and I

256
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,559
want them to look this way in that way, and

257
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,840
it's like that they're still in their puppy coat. It's

258
00:13:45,879 --> 00:13:49,639
their first time getting groomed. It just an example, but

259
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,399
it's like, you know, it's no. The first couple of

260
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,519
times are are all about introduction to grooming, building that

261
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,759
relationship with your groomer, letting your dog build a relationship

262
00:13:59,759 --> 00:14:03,240
with the groomer. Then once the dog matures a little

263
00:14:03,279 --> 00:14:05,960
bit and it knows what's going on, now we can

264
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,360
discuss a little bit of like yeah, I want the

265
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:10,600
ears a little shorter or the pause short or whatever.

266
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:10,879
You know.

267
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, It's often overlooked with Anthony's talking about here,

268
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,759
is that when people say, oh my god, the dog

269
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,799
stays so still, Like, how do you think it didn't

270
00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:23,320
just get that way because it's such a great dog.

271
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:25,840
It got that way because a professional dog roomer is

272
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,240
going to train the dog to stay still. And we've

273
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,480
mentioned that a lot in the past too, So it's

274
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,759
it's more than just grooming your dog. By the time

275
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:37,480
you get to the grooming part, you've done all these

276
00:14:37,519 --> 00:14:42,559
other things such as what Anthony's saying, gaining the dog's trust,

277
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:46,240
table training the dog, getting the dog to stay on

278
00:14:46,279 --> 00:14:48,440
the table long enough where you can actually get a

279
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,879
clipper on the dog or a pair of scissors on

280
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:54,360
the dog. So again, there's so much that goes into it.

281
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360
So when you have that customer that says, oh, you know,

282
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,480
I need her back and you know by noon, you know,

283
00:15:00,519 --> 00:15:02,200
and they dropped off at ten, and you have a

284
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,000
puppy that's jumping around that you may have to do

285
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,840
in parts like maybe take out for a little while,

286
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,159
work on the dog, put it away, give it a break,

287
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:14,799
take another dog out. This expectation of just you know,

288
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,639
you know, bing bang boom, groom my dog, you know,

289
00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:21,960
and and you know, I pay you money and you

290
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,000
groom my dog. And that's how it works. That's not

291
00:15:25,039 --> 00:15:30,360
how it works, because this is a unique occupation where

292
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:35,320
it takes a lot of integrity, It takes a lot

293
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,639
of knowledge to groom a dog. It just doesn't happen overnight.

294
00:15:40,759 --> 00:15:43,039
And and like you said, if if you are the

295
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,320
groomers around here are booked at least a month in advance.

296
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,759
We're booked about three weeks to a month ourselves, so

297
00:15:51,519 --> 00:15:53,799
I don't know of any dog groomers that are taking

298
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,600
in walkins. And and aside from that too, you really

299
00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,759
have to kind of with the uniqueness of this business.

300
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,639
You're not just taking everybody that walks through the door.

301
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,919
It just doesn't work that way. You really have to

302
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:14,000
interview the client and you have to kind of have

303
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:16,679
a rapport with the dog. And we've mentioned it. We've

304
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,639
mentioned where dogs sometimes do great with us and they

305
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:22,159
do horrible with other groomers, or vice versa. They'll do

306
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,840
horrible with another groomer and do great with us. So

307
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:30,360
it really depends did so much other stuff is involved,

308
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:34,200
other aspects are involved with dog groom before you even

309
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,360
get the clippers on the dog.

310
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:40,759
Speaker 1: We usually like because sometimes a mistake too, as somebody

311
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:44,039
who's looking for a groomer is kind of just showing

312
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,440
up in the middle of the day because for us,

313
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,039
you know when we're working and then you come in

314
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,240
because we also have to meet your dog too, so

315
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:58,639
it's almost better to like kind of call ahead and

316
00:16:58,759 --> 00:17:01,720
see if a if the groomer that you're looking to

317
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:05,279
meet sets up like meet appointments, so it's like they

318
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:07,720
could finish their day and then talk to you. Because

319
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:10,079
sometimes people walk through the door and we can't even

320
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,960
give them our full attention because we're in the middle

321
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,119
of our day. Whether they have their dog with them

322
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,319
or not, they usually don't. But even if you did it,

323
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:23,240
unless you catch us at the perfect time, we can't

324
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,880
really stop what we're doing to come out and meet

325
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,440
your dog and talk to you. And maybe that was

326
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,279
a dog we could have did, but we can't. We

327
00:17:29,319 --> 00:17:30,920
don't have the time because we're in the middle of

328
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,160
the day. You know, we've told people, can you come

329
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,079
back a little bit later and so we can meet

330
00:17:35,079 --> 00:17:37,799
your dog because it looks friendly and all that, you

331
00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:40,160
know that, Like, it's there's so much that goes in

332
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:44,799
before the before clippers hit hair. There are so much,

333
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,640
so many things that need to sort of line up

334
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,200
and be done. I like the way you looked at

335
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,200
it as like interviewing.

336
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah, yeah, as much as and it's

337
00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:58,599
vice versa, like you know, they're also interviewing you. You know,

338
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,240
they have to like you as the girl where you

339
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:02,440
have to have a clean shop, not putting it all

340
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,759
on the on the the dog owner here or the

341
00:18:04,759 --> 00:18:09,079
dog groomers have to you know, step up and and

342
00:18:09,079 --> 00:18:13,759
and have you know, a clean store and and a

343
00:18:13,839 --> 00:18:16,839
system that works for them where where the client's going

344
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,559
to want to bring their dog to you. But again,

345
00:18:20,599 --> 00:18:24,400
it's just there's a lot that goes into it. And

346
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,440
that's why you know, when you have the high expectation there,

347
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,319
it does. It just doesn't always work that way. It

348
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,000
just doesn't. It's a it's a different occupation, and you

349
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,759
know a lot of times what might happen too is

350
00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,160
like you can even interview the dog right and they're

351
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,640
really really friendly and they're happy, but once you put

352
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,200
them on the grooming table, they become a terror. So

353
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,799
you really never know until you actually groom the dog

354
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,240
or try to groom the dog, because dogs are just

355
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:53,640
going to be dogs, and especially puppies, they think, especially

356
00:18:53,759 --> 00:18:57,680
when they first get into their new environment, everybody's loving them,

357
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,559
everybody's giving them everything. They have, all this freedom and

358
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:04,160
this range, and then all of a sudden, like they're

359
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,200
restricted onto a grooming table. They don't like that, you know,

360
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,039
it's not something they like, but you have to kind

361
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:13,759
of teach the dog that number one, it's temporary. Trust me,

362
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,079
let me do this. It'll be over and you'll be

363
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,799
back into your your fun, loving environment. And it takes

364
00:19:19,839 --> 00:19:22,920
a lot to introduce that aspect, you know.

365
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,039
Speaker 1: So I mean if you could introduce every dog that

366
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,119
walked through the door to that aspect of every everything,

367
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,000
that we'd be rich.

368
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:30,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

369
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, that's not. Yeah, that's just some Some dogs take

370
00:19:35,519 --> 00:19:37,960
a long time to learn. Some dogs really never can.

371
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,960
It's not always the dog's fault either. Sometimes they just

372
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,160
got started up too late.

373
00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: Another thing that you know, you you as as a

374
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,839
dog owner or if you're looking for a dog, that

375
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,759
you have to take into consideration is the type of

376
00:19:51,799 --> 00:19:55,279
dog you're getting, you know, So if you're getting, don't

377
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:57,400
just go out willy nilly and say, oh, I want

378
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,640
a golden doodle. You know you if you are, And

379
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,480
I suggest this to anyone who has or is interested

380
00:20:04,519 --> 00:20:07,160
in getting a golden doodle or a labradoodle or a

381
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:13,039
Bernie Doodle, anything doodle, especially the larger ones, you better

382
00:20:13,079 --> 00:20:16,799
have some grooming skills because a lot of groomers just

383
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,200
can't take on another golden doodle. How many golden doodles.

384
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,000
Do you think a groomer could do in a day.

385
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:25,279
You know, I could do one. You know there are

386
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:28,839
other groomers that might do two or three, but you know,

387
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:30,839
most of the time they're just going to try to

388
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,640
shave your dog down because it's just too much work.

389
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,519
It's just way too much work. So if you're looking

390
00:20:39,559 --> 00:20:42,640
for a dog or you're interested in purchasing a puppy,

391
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,480
consider the breed and line up your dog groomer. Make

392
00:20:46,519 --> 00:20:49,079
sure that there's a dog groomer in your area that

393
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,000
number one does large breeds. A lot of groomers don't

394
00:20:52,039 --> 00:20:55,599
do large breeds. We have swayed away from it. I'm older,

395
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,559
I have a herd, yet I can't do Bernie doodles anymore,

396
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,119
you know, So line up your dog room or line

397
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,839
up your veterinarian and talk to people. Maybe talk to

398
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,839
a dog groomer if you have a local dog groomer,

399
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,920
before you go out and make a dog purchase. And

400
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,839
it doesn't even I'm not singling out golden doodles or

401
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,960
anything like that. Could be a sheetsu a sheets who

402
00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:19,839
might be too much for you to handle, or if

403
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,279
dog groomers are that booked in your area. They may

404
00:21:22,319 --> 00:21:25,200
not even be able to take your sheets who So, always,

405
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:28,759
when purchasing a dog or you're going to acquire a

406
00:21:28,799 --> 00:21:32,200
puppy of any sort or a rescue, consider dog rooming.

407
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,599
Please consider dog rooming.

408
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,599
Speaker 1: I've definitely met sheets who's that I would rather groom

409
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,440
a golden duodle. Absolutely some sheetsuos. I don't mean to

410
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,079
call out sheets's, but they're so common that you could

411
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:48,799
probably ask any groomer if they have any sheetsu horror stories,

412
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:51,480
and they probably all have at least one. Just because

413
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,200
so many people buy sheets, so the chances of you

414
00:21:54,279 --> 00:21:57,880
having a running into a rough one is high.

415
00:21:58,079 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 2: I owned a sheetsu named Tiger, and towards the end

416
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,119
of his life, I would have rather groomed a Tiger.

417
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:08,759
I couldn't get near him, couldn't even pick him up.

418
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:11,680
I mean, that's how bad it got. Couldn't even pick him.

419
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,319
Speaker 1: But Tiger was really sweet too.

420
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he was a sweet dog. Yeah, like towards

421
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,759
the end, uh huh, it just he just wasn't having anything.

422
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,599
This This dog would stare at the like the basement

423
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:31,400
door and bark excessively for hours at nothing. So try

424
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,039
putting a clipper on that. Try getting a ten blade

425
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,000
under those eyes. Let me know how you make out.

426
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, something tells me he's not quite gonna stay still. Yeah,

427
00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:47,000
I mean, you know that's it's what do we call it?

428
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:49,359
The no zip zap in a boom about that?

429
00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:52,759
Speaker 2: No, no, his his like everything else was gone. His

430
00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:55,559
hearing was gone, his eye couldn't see, couldn't move, but

431
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,839
his but his biting skills were completely intact.

432
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: Right. Well, you know what they say, You know, you

433
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,200
lose a couple of the senses and it just heightens

434
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,240
the you know, so biting is a dog's sense.

435
00:23:07,559 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: He was like a cobra. I mean, he would bite

436
00:23:10,519 --> 00:23:15,119
you from a distance, you know, all right. Another reason

437
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,319
why a groomer might be refusing you is this, if

438
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,920
you're the type of dog owner who's just obsessed with

439
00:23:23,079 --> 00:23:27,720
staying with the dog. Some dog owners are just so

440
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,559
obsessed with never leaving the dog that most groomers are

441
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:35,880
going to say, hey, man, listen, this is just it's

442
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,359
too much. You know, you know, I don't want to

443
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,920
do this because you're actually scaring the dog groomer out

444
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,279
of even trying, because you're just that worried about it.

445
00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:51,279
If you're that worried bringing your dog in. Imagine what

446
00:23:51,319 --> 00:23:54,279
the dog groomer is feeling when you bring that dog in.

447
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,880
And we're not saying don't love your dog. Of course,

448
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,680
love your dog, but you just like you would trust

449
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,200
to a surgeon or a dog roomer to give you

450
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,680
a haircut, like I trusted myself. Baby seven, Baby, you

451
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,359
know you have to You have to trust a dog

452
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,160
roomer to an extent where you're not this obsessed person

453
00:24:16,279 --> 00:24:20,799
with not trusting anyone. And also what happens with that

454
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,079
is your dog is sensing that from you too, and

455
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,480
the dog will learn to not trust anyone as well.

456
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,079
It's a big problem. We get that old Oh I

457
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,519
won't leave my dog, you know, I want to stay

458
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:37,319
while you groom my dog. It's like, okay, well here's

459
00:24:37,319 --> 00:24:39,599
your dog. Because we don't do that.

460
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: That That is a big especially like because so many

461
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:46,920
dogs have become like the like what do they call it,

462
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,519
like for stress like not service dogs, but so many

463
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:55,000
people have gotten dogs for their anxiety. Yes, and uh

464
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:57,720
and it helps. Honestly, I'm shocked that that even works

465
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,759
because the dog is such a heavy responsibility. Sometimes I'm

466
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:05,759
I it's great that people can use them for anxiety.

467
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:08,319
But that wouldn't make me feel less anxious having a

468
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,039
dog to take care of. But uh whatever, it works

469
00:25:12,079 --> 00:25:15,160
for some people. But yeah, since that's become such a

470
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,319
popular thing and you know, it helps a lot of people,

471
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,720
we see it more and more often where people become

472
00:25:22,759 --> 00:25:26,440
super attached to their to their pet and to their

473
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,160
dog especially, and they don't want to leave them. And

474
00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:34,079
sometimes even people who do who are willing to leave them,

475
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,799
those are also some of the same people who want

476
00:25:36,799 --> 00:25:38,519
the dog. You know, can I come back in an hour?

477
00:25:38,759 --> 00:25:41,519
Like they just they can't let go of the dog,

478
00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:44,000
and then you know they want That's so much pressure there.

479
00:25:44,559 --> 00:25:46,599
It's a hard thing to solve, especially if you because

480
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,440
we all love our pets. You know, I don't want

481
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:52,039
to leave my cats with anybody, you know. But and

482
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,680
I give customers dog head owners a lot of credit

483
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,599
for leaving your dog with any groom or I know,

484
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,279
it's not easy. So it's it's a difficult thing to do.

485
00:26:01,279 --> 00:26:03,240
It's difficult for the groomer too, because now the dog

486
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:04,839
is our responsibility for the day.

487
00:26:05,279 --> 00:26:07,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, And when you have that kind of attitude though,

488
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:11,960
it all it like it heightens an already high pressure situation.

489
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,079
It's it's it's high pressure just getting your dog done

490
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,680
on a normal day, even if the dog is willing,

491
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:21,920
and it's still a difficult job. So when you do that,

492
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:26,200
it just really heightens everything and heightens the pressure. And again,

493
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,839
you know, if you are the type of dog groomer

494
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,839
that can do that, then by all means you need

495
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,200
to seek that groomer out. But there's not a whole

496
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,759
lot of groomers that's and that's part of the problem,

497
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,680
you know. I mean we do a lot of that.

498
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,160
We do some after our dogs. You know, we do

499
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,039
what we can. We do what we can, and we're

500
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:45,680
not perfect.

501
00:26:46,039 --> 00:26:52,279
Speaker 1: There's yeah, there's a very few exceptions, like as far

502
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119
as you know, staying with your dog or even after

503
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,839
our stuff. And some groomers do it different. We've done it.

504
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,720
We've even changed the way we used to do only

505
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,960
you know, no night dogs. We call them after whatever.

506
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,559
Any dog coming in after three I consider a night dog.

507
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:11,279
We've done. We've gone from never doing that to splitting

508
00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:13,000
up our day and we do like three in the

509
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
morning and three in the afternoon. You know, we've done.

510
00:27:16,039 --> 00:27:18,279
Now we're kind of like a mishmash where we have

511
00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:20,599
a few exceptions, and we just kind of have random,

512
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,920
you know, full days, and then every once in a

513
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,119
while we'll have a night. I don't know, whatever works

514
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,039
for the groomer, I guess, or what specific customer might need,

515
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,359
and if it's worth it, then some groomers will meet

516
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,880
those requirements. But sometimes it's a lot to ask. Sometimes

517
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:37,880
it's too much to ask.

518
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes, you know. And you know, we were trying

519
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,839
to look at it from both perspectives, like we said

520
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,799
in the beginning, so you know, from from the client's perspective,

521
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:50,680
what Anthony's saying, we understand it takes a lot. It

522
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,440
takes a lot of trust to try to leave your

523
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,799
dog because it is your baby. You know, you love

524
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,599
your dog and we love your dog too, But again,

525
00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:02,160
don't heighten that. Don't don't make your dog more fearful.

526
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,799
It's kind of like, you know, even with your child,

527
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,599
you know, after a while you're gonna have to send

528
00:28:06,599 --> 00:28:08,759
them off to school. As scary as that is, you

529
00:28:08,839 --> 00:28:11,720
gotta trust, and you gotta at least try to trust.

530
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,920
But from from the groomer's perspective, it doesn't make it

531
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,279
any easier because again, now we're twice as nervous. I'm

532
00:28:22,319 --> 00:28:24,640
working on your dog, like God forbid, we were to

533
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:27,119
nick this dog and it does happen. Oh my god,

534
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,200
you know what I mean? Now what so anyway, let's uh,

535
00:28:33,039 --> 00:28:37,160
here's another thing from like say, a groomer's perspective. That

536
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,160
that that people I think should understand or try to

537
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,160
understand is that. And this happens to us a lot.

538
00:28:43,279 --> 00:28:45,400
Like we're where, you know, we'll get a puppy, right,

539
00:28:45,799 --> 00:28:49,359
and we'll get this new puppy and it we we

540
00:28:49,359 --> 00:28:52,400
we break through to it and we're able to do

541
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:58,039
something on it. And the people are semi uh you know,

542
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,359
satisfied with the job, really not giving us what we

543
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,960
want we want. Oh that's great, Thank you so much

544
00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:05,160
for grooming our dog.

545
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,839
Speaker 1: I'm glad you were able to do anything.

546
00:29:07,079 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: I'm glad you were able to do anything.

547
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: Puppy.

548
00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: It's a puppy. But then you know, second grooming comes along,

549
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,279
the dog does even better. And lo and behold, after three,

550
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,400
four or five groomings, the puppies just doing great, and

551
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:22,200
us as the groomer, we're so happy because it's like, oh,

552
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,400
now we can do a better job. They seem to

553
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,279
be satisfied and you're grooming this dog for the first

554
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,079
year of its life and then all of a sudden

555
00:29:31,599 --> 00:29:35,359
they jump ship. You did all of the work, you did,

556
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,079
all of the training, you did the hard part of

557
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,200
getting this dog to be become groomable, and then all

558
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,440
of a sudden, another groomer or one of the bigger

559
00:29:45,559 --> 00:29:48,039
chain stores gets to make all of the money.

560
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,359
Speaker 1: Yeah yea.

561
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,359
Speaker 2: So when that person comes back, because they usually do

562
00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,599
because their their groomer went on vacation or or the

563
00:30:00,599 --> 00:30:03,359
bigger chain stores are overbooked, and then they come back

564
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:08,039
and they go, hey, will you groomer? No, No, it's

565
00:30:08,039 --> 00:30:12,359
a no because you just took everything that I did

566
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,119
and gave it to somebody else. And what's to say

567
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,039
that's not gonna happen again, right, And we don't want

568
00:30:20,039 --> 00:30:22,599
a one off. Most groomers do not want a one

569
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,839
off grooming. Okay, And again that's one of the reasons

570
00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:28,519
why you need to kind of interview your customers. Is

571
00:30:28,559 --> 00:30:31,640
this customer like, remember, we we just got somebody who

572
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,680
came into the store the other day, Oh, can you

573
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:38,039
do my dog because my groomer's on vacation. Listen, it's

574
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:40,440
a one off. Why would I want to, you know,

575
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:42,839
I because I know that as soon as your groomer

576
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,680
comes back, you're gonna go right back to them. So

577
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,359
what am I gonna do. Am I gonna risk hurting

578
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,599
your dog and now all of a sudden I'm the

579
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,759
bad guy? Or you know, am I gonna put somebody

580
00:30:52,799 --> 00:30:55,400
else aside who is a good customer to squeeze you

581
00:30:55,519 --> 00:31:00,799
in for a one time grooming. No groomers want to

582
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,920
hang on to their clients because it gives us a

583
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,440
chance to get to know the dog better, it gives

584
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,519
us a chance to do better jobs in the future,

585
00:31:09,599 --> 00:31:13,039
and it gives us a rapport with the owner. So

586
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,480
if it's that like one off, if a groomer needs

587
00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:21,079
the money, then yeah, do it. But you know, we're

588
00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:25,640
really looking for people to work with us and come

589
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,119
back with their dogs.

590
00:31:27,359 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: And it's not with the one like the vacation. It's

591
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,599
not always this pride and loyalty thing either. It's you

592
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,079
said it yourself, it's just the risk when there's this

593
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,519
Grooming is such a risky business. It's so difficult. It's

594
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,759
such a even with a good dog, a good a

595
00:31:44,799 --> 00:31:48,599
dog who standing still can get nicked. That's how risky

596
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,200
this business how much. That's how easily your day can

597
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,359
be ruined or your month can be ruined as a

598
00:31:53,359 --> 00:31:57,960
dog groomer. So the one offs it's not always based

599
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,799
on you know, no, well you didn't stay with me.

600
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,720
Sometimes it is, for sure, especially in the puppy you know,

601
00:32:03,799 --> 00:32:05,400
work on it for a year, then it's like kind

602
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,359
of like no, no, you know, we're not going to

603
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,839
do that. But sometimes it's just like the vacation thing

604
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,920
is a good example of that. It's just what we

605
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,960
can't it's so not worth the risk for you to

606
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,920
wait an extra two weeks for your groomer to come

607
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,480
back from vacation. It's not worth the risk for us.

608
00:32:19,519 --> 00:32:22,319
Dog's not used to us that we don't know the

609
00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:26,240
dog we're going to risk, you know, it's something God

610
00:32:26,279 --> 00:32:29,640
forbids something happening. When all it really was is like

611
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,079
you're okay, so your groomer is it went south for

612
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:36,240
a week like it do you know? It's not It's

613
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:38,440
kind of like a no, no, it's it's just it's

614
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,759
not worth it. It's it's not worth it for your dog either.

615
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:43,440
It's not why stress your dog out now? They got

616
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,119
to learn a new place exact and we got to learn,

617
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,000
they got to learn us. What if they don't like us,

618
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,480
even even if we say, oh yeah, they didn't take

619
00:32:50,519 --> 00:32:52,559
to us, they didn't like it. Still, it's not worth

620
00:32:52,559 --> 00:32:54,200
the stress for your dog. It's not it's not worth

621
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,079
bringing your dog through anything. Even if we ended up

622
00:32:56,119 --> 00:32:58,119
not doing it, it's like it's like, no, they don't

623
00:32:58,119 --> 00:32:59,759
Why why make your dog spend the day with us?

624
00:32:59,759 --> 00:33:01,920
And anyway, if your groom is going to be back,

625
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,079
your room is going to be back, like just you know,

626
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,000
stick with them. Don't table hop.

627
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: Don't table hop exactly. It's like it's like the girl

628
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,400
with the two poodles. Remember how many times we, you know,

629
00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:16,440
redid their dog. You know we we we trained her puppies,

630
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,519
her two little poodle puppies, and they were just so

631
00:33:18,759 --> 00:33:22,079
they were maniacs. They were absolute made. It was very difficult,

632
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,839
so difficult. Finally got them to the point where you know,

633
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,000
I can do like a little clown cut. I was

634
00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,440
doing little clown cuts on them, meaning you know, little

635
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,920
puffies and little balls on the feet and the tail

636
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,200
in the shade, and they were starting to come out

637
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,799
really really cute. Only for her her husband complained about

638
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:42,200
the price. Then I think we were at the time,

639
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,440
we were charging like fifty five dollars, complaining about the price, flinching,

640
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,720
you know, flinching at fifty five give me a break,

641
00:33:49,759 --> 00:33:52,599
and you know, and and uh, and then she jumped

642
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,359
ship and then came back and we did it again,

643
00:33:55,839 --> 00:33:58,440
and then you know, she jumped ship again, and then

644
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,480
then and then then then she tried to was like, no,

645
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:05,640
we're done. You're not going to keep using us, you know,

646
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,639
because you're getting a better price somewhere else. And again,

647
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:14,159
I'm just all I'm doing is moving a potential long

648
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,280
term client that will be just a much better fit

649
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:18,800
for us.

650
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: And that's that's not even counting moving aside some potential

651
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,800
clients who are walking like we're saying, we keep saying

652
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,239
yes to you, And because we said yes to you

653
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,559
and your two mini poodles, for all we know, the

654
00:34:32,599 --> 00:34:34,559
person that we then had to say no to, who

655
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,679
we've never met before, comes in with their puppy and

656
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,440
we had to turn them away because we just don't

657
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,599
have the time. Now we're booked that much further in advance,

658
00:34:41,639 --> 00:34:43,360
and for all we know that dog. She would have

659
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,000
been the most loyal person in the world. Yeah, and

660
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,559
and and stayed with us. And it's like we said

661
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:50,000
no to her, to say yes to you, and you're

662
00:34:50,039 --> 00:34:53,159
gone again to there you go because backles doesn't you know?

663
00:34:53,559 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 2: So true? And it's like, you know, again, we understand price,

664
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,039
we understand you know, finance is an issue with anything. Okay,

665
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,840
but you know, let's just say, you know, your average

666
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,480
dog groomer is making fifty bucks an hour, and there's

667
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,599
dog groomers that make twice that. You know, let's just

668
00:35:12,679 --> 00:35:14,880
use fifty bucks an hour. You come in with a

669
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:19,400
golden doodle that's taking you a minimum of three hours. Okay,

670
00:35:19,639 --> 00:35:22,239
why are you complaining about one hundred and fifty dollars?

671
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,320
Does that dog groomer not deserve fifty bucks an hour?

672
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,519
That dog groomer, certainly it deserves more than fifty bucks

673
00:35:28,559 --> 00:35:31,679
an hour. But again you'll get like these big jobs

674
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,559
and they want it done for fifty bucks. They want

675
00:35:34,639 --> 00:35:37,239
you to do it for twenty five dollars an hour. Okay,

676
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,760
so why again, this is a business, guys, make no

677
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,960
mistake about it. As much as we love animals and

678
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,000
we love dogs, we're still we have families. Dog groomers

679
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:48,079
have families. We have children, We got grandchildren right that

680
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:50,400
we got to support, We got bills like everybody else.

681
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,480
It's a business, right, So why is a dog groomer

682
00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:57,519
going to do this big golden doodle that's going to

683
00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:01,519
consume three four hours of the day when they can

684
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:06,599
do you know, three four sheetsuos in that time and

685
00:36:06,639 --> 00:36:10,639
make twice the amount of money. So point being, if

686
00:36:10,679 --> 00:36:12,960
you have a big dog that requires a lot of

687
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,760
dog grooming, you're gonna have to pay the price again,

688
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,639
either that or have some grooming skills yourself. Watch our channel,

689
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,719
watch other dog grooming channels, and learn how to groom.

690
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,760
This way you can help offset that if you have

691
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,679
a big job, a big dog and you can't afford grooming,

692
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,599
you know, but if you can afford grooming, you should

693
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:36,639
be throwing one hundred and fifty two hundred bucks to

694
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,920
your to your dog groomer. I'm sorry. If you have

695
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,679
a big, giant golden doodle or even a big Saint

696
00:36:41,679 --> 00:36:44,039
Bernard with a big undercoat or something like that, you're

697
00:36:44,079 --> 00:36:46,840
talking about two point fifty three hundred dollars of grooming

698
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:55,039
in some areas. And so yeah, it be be understanding

699
00:36:55,119 --> 00:36:58,639
that it takes time to groom a dog, and yes,

700
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,119
and and it is a business and money is part

701
00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:01,920
of that aspect.

702
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: So I think I think regardless of the size of

703
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,000
the breed that you have, you should know some grooming skills.

704
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,599
If you're going to own a dog, you wouldn't you

705
00:37:10,639 --> 00:37:14,039
wouldn't get a pool at your house if you didn't know.

706
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,079
I have to learn how to take care of it

707
00:37:16,079 --> 00:37:18,119
a little bit, right, You have to. You have to

708
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:20,400
take care of stuff. I'm not saying you have to

709
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:24,400
be some you know, five star grooming competition Calimber at

710
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,320
home pet groomer, but you got you have to learn maintenance.

711
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,880
It's it's it's a living thing and it's a huge responsibility.

712
00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:35,320
You know. Sometimes grooming is a magic trick where we

713
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,760
can kind of undo all, you know, negligence or just whatever,

714
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,000
having no money or not having time or whatever. It's

715
00:37:43,039 --> 00:37:46,360
not always such a horrible thing when a dog gets

716
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,000
mad at up. It's not always anybody's fault. It's not

717
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,079
always somebody's fault, I should say. But you really you

718
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:54,840
should have some grooming skills to maintain your dog. Just

719
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,119
a little, if any it just something is better than nothing.

720
00:37:57,199 --> 00:37:59,320
Learn how to brush your dog. That'll take you so far.

721
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, just by understanding these things, a groomer

722
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,920
is going to be more likely to take you on

723
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,320
as a client, you know, because I can guarantee you

724
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,440
if you go in with attitude or you go in

725
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,719
with any of the things we're talking about, a lot

726
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,320
of groomers are just going to say no to you.

727
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,559
Speaker 1: And speaking of price too, I've definitely said this before,

728
00:38:19,639 --> 00:38:24,760
but it bears repeating. Don't let how much be the

729
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,039
first question out of your mouth if you do find yourself,

730
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:31,360
if you have a good dog, and you do keep

731
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,719
getting turned away. It could be something as simple as that,

732
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,400
because some groomer, we're nice guys. I mean, we'll hear

733
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,360
anybody out, even if that's the first question you have

734
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,880
for us, because everybody does have a budget. Times are tough,

735
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,039
especially right now, but for all you know, the groomer

736
00:38:45,039 --> 00:38:48,039
that you're walking into or whatever, and that's the first question.

737
00:38:48,079 --> 00:38:51,159
Some groomers to get turned right off by that because

738
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,239
your first focus is on the price instead of you know,

739
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,000
you don't have any questions for me, where do I

740
00:38:56,079 --> 00:38:58,239
keep the dogs? How as our facilities look? How long

741
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,440
have we been grooming? All of that? And that's really

742
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,280
important to some groomers. It's important to us too. But again, like, well,

743
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:04,880
we'll hear you out. We're not going to tell you

744
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,559
to go away just because you asked us how much.

745
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,079
But if you could just move that to the last

746
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:11,840
question you ask and kind of almost have it be

747
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,400
like a oh, yeah, how much, it's almost like, don't

748
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,239
worry about how much it is the first time. If

749
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,559
you're trying to find a groomer and you're struggling to

750
00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:21,400
find a groomer, don't worry about how much it is.

751
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,119
Because even at worst, if it's something that you don't

752
00:39:24,559 --> 00:39:26,440
you think is too much and you can't afford it,

753
00:39:26,679 --> 00:39:29,079
then just don't go back pay the money and don't

754
00:39:29,079 --> 00:39:30,880
go back and learn how to do it yourself. There's

755
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,199
the let you got. If the groomer charge do one

756
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,599
hundred bucks and your budget was seventy eat the thirty

757
00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:39,719
bucks and you paid a thirty dollars, you got to

758
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,599
taught a thirty dollars lesson. I got to learn how

759
00:39:41,639 --> 00:39:43,039
to do this myself because I don't want to. I

760
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:45,159
don't want to spend one hundred dollars every time. That's it.

761
00:39:45,159 --> 00:39:47,599
It's it's not you know, you eat it, eat it.

762
00:39:47,599 --> 00:39:50,039
It's just a lesson. You don't you don't. You don't

763
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:51,599
want to pay one hundred dollars, then you have to

764
00:39:51,679 --> 00:39:53,679
learn how to do it yourself or find a cheaper.

765
00:39:53,679 --> 00:39:55,960
But the cheaper you go, the less safe dog is.

766
00:39:56,039 --> 00:39:56,960
Let's put it that way.

767
00:39:57,119 --> 00:40:00,639
Speaker 2: That's so true. All right, Well what that said, why

768
00:40:00,639 --> 00:40:04,119
don't we Well we'll go to a commercial and we'll

769
00:40:04,119 --> 00:40:07,119
come back with the funny comments segment. Okay, you got

770
00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:14,760
that coming up on Groomer Humor, Real people, real stories.

771
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,119
Speaker 5: Our little dog developed this womph problem at the chemotherapy

772
00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:21,840
lasted for six months, started developing more lymph nose, so

773
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,199
I thought I'd just tried carnivor. If the lymph nose

774
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,239
started to go down, then I took him into the

775
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,440
vet to him checked out, and there was no signs

776
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:28,679
at all.

777
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:29,159
Speaker 1: Inside.

778
00:40:29,239 --> 00:40:31,559
Speaker 6: My god had issues that developed in his height. And

779
00:40:31,639 --> 00:40:34,159
three months later my ven airing said this, go ahead

780
00:40:34,159 --> 00:40:36,920
and remove the eye. I heard the carnivore on advertising,

781
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:38,760
so I said, you know what, I'm going to order

782
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,199
this product. They did the procedure, they did all the

783
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:42,840
death and they said that I don't know what you

784
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,320
did this product.

785
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,039
Speaker 2: They his eye I've got a labrador.

786
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,559
Speaker 1: You could hardly lift yourself up off the door.

787
00:40:49,679 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 5: The treatment was came of therapy. That's when I said

788
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,880
this could be the ticket. About three weeks you could

789
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,400
tell she was very alert.

790
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,840

Speaker 7: Radio Petlin radio dot com.

802
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Grumor Humor on Way Radio. We are

803
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,639
your host as always on Anthony Ray hanging out with

804
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,280
my dad Rudy V. And today we've been talking about

805
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:51,880
reasons why you might be getting refused at finding looking

806
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,039
for a groomer, finding a groomer at any grooming shops

807
00:41:54,039 --> 00:41:57,039
that you're walking into. We've been looking at it from

808
00:41:57,039 --> 00:42:00,360
both perspectives and we've covered a lot, and now it's

809
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:01,880
good to happen back because I feel like we haven't

810
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,519
had one in a while. We're moving on to our

811
00:42:04,599 --> 00:42:09,360
funny comments something something to analyze. Yeah, yeah, it's been

812
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,599
a while. I feel like I feel like we missed

813
00:42:11,599 --> 00:42:15,239
a Yeah, people have been nice lately, but everybody.

814
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 2: So exactly, everybody's been so nice. That's why, you know,

815
00:42:18,039 --> 00:42:20,480
it's hard to like, you know, we can't laugh at

816
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,679
the nice ones like you know, we love you guys.

817
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,480
Oh thanks, sorry, Well I guess we're back though. Yeah,

818
00:42:25,519 --> 00:42:28,400
but but we we got one that you know, kind

819
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,920
of boggles the mind. But here, let's read it. Okay,

820
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:37,480
your videos are good, but your channel lacks excitement. It

821
00:42:37,599 --> 00:42:43,880
lacks entertainment, and you talk too low okay, and you

822
00:42:44,039 --> 00:42:47,480
don't do very much to keep the viewer engaged.

823
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: Well, at least our videos are good. Yeah, how can

824
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:55,400
but now I know what you mean by mind boggler? Yeah,

825
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,760
because how can all of that be true at the

826
00:42:57,760 --> 00:42:58,320
same time?

827
00:42:58,679 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 2: Exactly? Right?

828
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: If our videos are good?

829
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: Right, videos are good, but your channel lacks excitement? Like

00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,880

831
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:08,079
to do?

00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,199
Speaker 1: Ju I'm pretty good at cart like I could do

834
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,360

00:43:36,079 --> 00:43:37,039
Speaker 1: Well, it's dog rooming.

842
00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:40,599

Speaker 2: Look, yeah, like it lacks entertainment.

845
00:43:47,559 --> 00:43:51,039
Speaker 1: But the videos are good. Yeah, but how can they

846
00:43:51,079 --> 00:43:53,440
be good if they're lacking everything under the sun?

847
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, then they're not good. He would have been better

848
00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:01,159
off saying your videos are not good because day Yeah, like,

849
00:44:01,199 --> 00:44:04,800
why did you say our videos are good? But your channel?

850
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:07,800
He didn't even say he said to your channel. So

851
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,440
this guy's honest. Yeah, he's been watching the channel, not videos.

852
00:44:11,599 --> 00:44:13,079
Speaker 1: Your videos are good, good.

853
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 2: You channel lacks excitement, It lacks entertainment.

854
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 1: Okay, because yeah, he should have said your videos are

855
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:26,519
not good? Yeah, vis a v the following like this, Yeah,

856
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:28,960
unless do you think he just forgot to type not?

857
00:44:29,559 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 2: I may it could be you know, And then he

858
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,480
says you talk too low I've gotten that before, I've

859
00:44:35,519 --> 00:44:38,559
got I'm sorry if I talk low sometimes.

860
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: Actually you've said that about yourself.

861
00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I talk low sometimes because I don't know. I

862
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:47,800
can't control the volume of my voice.

863
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: The voice imodulated.

864
00:44:49,079 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 2: I need a voice imodulator. Because I'm gonna give him

865
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:54,280
that one.

866
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: I'll give him that.

867
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 2: I'm want to give him that one.

868
00:44:56,679 --> 00:44:58,599
Speaker 1: But I don't know if it's you, so because it well,

869
00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:00,320
it's hard for you not to talk low when I

870
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,360
constantly tell you don't yell into the mic.

871
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 2: And here's another one that like, and you don't do

872
00:45:06,519 --> 00:45:09,199
much to keep the viewer engaged. Well, you know what,

873
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:14,360
you're lying again, because you're engaged. You're engaged.

874
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:14,639
Speaker 1: Dude.

875
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,559
Speaker 2: You said our channel lacks excitement. That means you've been

876
00:45:17,679 --> 00:45:21,679
on our channel. Whoever you. I'm not gonna mention your name. Yeah,

877
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,960
but like I kind of like you, though I don't

878
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:24,760
want to. I don't want to.

879
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,599
Speaker 1: Not Like he's supporting the channel.

880
00:45:26,679 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 2: You're supporting the channel, but you're saying we suck.

881
00:45:30,039 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: But he's still here. That means he wants us to

882
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:33,800
do good.

883
00:45:34,039 --> 00:45:37,800
Speaker 2: He wants That's what I'm getting. He wants us to

884
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,440
do better, all right.

885
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,679
Speaker 1: Then it's it's I guess it's a it's a mind

886
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:51,000
boggling backhanded compliment while telling us we suck.

887
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, why do I like him?

888
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 1: Because it's it's it's a constructive criticism. I guess. Okay,

889
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,880
I guess I don't really believe in constructive criticism, even

890
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,599
being constructive or criticizing, so but I guess this is

891
00:46:05,639 --> 00:46:06,039
what a.

892
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,679
Speaker 2: Construct And he's not using words and we've gotten this

893
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,280
in the past too, like you guys suck. He's not

894
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,440
being offensive. He's not being offensive. He's being kind of

895
00:46:15,519 --> 00:46:16,519
like you know, well.

896
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,159
Speaker 1: Because he's like rooting for us.

897
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,079
Speaker 2: He's rooting for us because he's still here your channel.

898
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,559
But how do we do that with excitement?

899
00:46:23,599 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: What do we don't know? We could like pop a

900
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,159
couple of balloons random and that would scare the dogs.

901
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:32,559
Speaker 2: So that give us some suggestions if we lack excitement

902
00:46:32,599 --> 00:46:35,280
and we lack entertainment. I don't know. I'm not you know,
