On Petlifradio dot com. 23 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,719 Speaker 2: Welcome back, every one. I'd like to welcome Anthony Cospito 24 00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,840 and Alu Gomes. They are both co founders of Ask Mambo. 25 00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 5: Welcome general, Thank you, Michelle, pleasure to be here. 26 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 6: Hello Michelle, thank you for having us. 27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,239 Speaker 2: I'm so excited to have you. So I alluded in 28 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,639 the beginning of the show that ask Mambo is about 29 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,360 technology and kind of gives it away when it says 30 00:02:13,439 --> 00:02:16,680 ask mambo, because it wouldn't be a phone. Who uses 31 00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:18,560 their phone to call anybody these days? 32 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 6: Right? 33 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: We use it more for other stuff? So what is 34 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,000 ask mambo and what inspired its creation? 35 00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 7: Sure? 36 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,039 Speaker 5: So ask mambo was essentially a smart assistant to help 37 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,680 people get closer to their dogs. And what inspired it 38 00:02:33,719 --> 00:02:36,800 is basically baked right into the name is Mambo. Mambo 39 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,599 was our thirteen year old Shitsu. He was adopted. 40 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 6: Amazing dog. 41 00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 5: You know, if we found him alone in a crate 42 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,280 at an adoption event, we picked them up, fell asleep 43 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,719 in our arms, this amazing little creature, best dog we 44 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,240 ever had. And over time, you know, as things happen, 45 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,159 dogs get a little bit older, he got sick. He 46 00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,120 had special needs that we had to take care of 47 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:03,599 something called cushi disease. He later developed issues with breathing 48 00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:08,960 and enlarged heart and eventually even brain tumor. So over 49 00:03:09,039 --> 00:03:10,960 all that time we wanted to make sure that we 50 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800 had the best quality time with him, and when he 51 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,599 actually passed, we really sat back and we said, you know, 52 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,560 he was such a special dog. We want to do something, 53 00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:23,560 you know, to honor him. And my background is in innovation, 54 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,120 digital strategy and AI, so what we really wanted to 55 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,680 do is sort an opportunity to humanize the AI process 56 00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:35,120 and develop a tool for dog parents to get closer 57 00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:38,199 to their dogs. So on ask Mombo, you could essentially 58 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,520 ask anything, and it's really a very conversational tool. You 59 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,879 don't have to know prompt engineering or anything like that. 60 00:03:44,919 --> 00:03:48,360 It's very friendly. We built it with a personality that's 61 00:03:48,439 --> 00:03:51,360 you know, half New York comedian and very friendly and 62 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,240 then a very very steeped and you know, medical information 63 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,759 and everything that's available out there to the open API protocol, 64 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:01,599 so you know a world of information on that side, 65 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,960 and it brings it all together and again with the 66 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,680 goal of really helping people get closer to their dogs, understand, 67 00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:10,360 you know, with those little towel wags mean, what those 68 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,039 little funny, quirk little behaviors mean in a way that 69 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,960 we can really cuddle up a little bit closer. 70 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm a big fan of AI. I use chat 71 00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:23,879 GPT all the time. I don't use it as a substitute. 72 00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:27,279 I'm never going to have a chat GPT friend. It's 73 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,879 just not going to happen. I don't know. Maybe I'm 74 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:34,000 of older generation. I like like live people or communicating 75 00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:36,680 with someone. I know it's living and breathing for sure, 76 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,680 but I love the fact that there are so many options, 77 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,040 you know, available, when there weren't even five years ago. 78 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,560 I had a situation once where it freaked me out. 79 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,959 I didn't know what to do. Are you familiar with 80 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,800 old dog disease? Similar old dog disease, not under that name. No, well, 81 00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:01,600 maybe it has another name. I don't know, but but 82 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,040 it happens late at night to old dogs. I came home, 83 00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:07,800 my dog was faced the other way, his eyes were 84 00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:10,399 rolling in his head, he was shaking, and I didn't 85 00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:13,720 know what the heck to do. So that was very expensive, 86 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,680 that appointment. And I heard that it only happens, you know, 87 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,839 at night, and this and that and that could have 88 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:21,720 been something that I reached out to technology for even 89 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,160 though with this one, I probably would have had to 90 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:28,439 go to the you know, uber expensive uh that hospital, 91 00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:32,319 the nighttime, that hospital. But let's talk about what ask 92 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,120 mambo can do to use you know, the data or 93 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:40,759 AI to help have parents make better decisions, not just 94 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,959 maybe in obvious situations of anxiety, but just for general 95 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,000 good decisions. And it might not always be in times 96 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,160 of stressful health issues. 97 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 8: Yeah. 98 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:55,319 Speaker 5: And you know, one of the things that we say, 99 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,199 you know on the side whe where we're talking about 100 00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:01,920 it is it's not a replacement for full stop you know. 101 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,279 It could augment information, it can give you additional information. 102 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:08,120 It really serves as a guide. But if there's something 103 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,079 that's going on with your dog, like the story that 104 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,360 you shared, that's scary, right when when a dog is 105 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,279 like having a seizure or there's something going on, absolutely 106 00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,160 number one, get get into a vee, get an emergency 107 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,439 emergency professional on the phone, for sure. 108 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 6: But I also wanted to add, Michelle, was that being 109 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:27,959 a dog parent, it is an emotional journey and from 110 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,199 the time the dog ampers your life down to getting 111 00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:34,759 to know the dog, having the dog grow old with you, 112 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,839 and finally when the dog is in its last years. 113 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,360 It is an emotionally charged journey. And so what we 114 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,800 thought was maybe with ask Mombo, if it could give 115 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:49,120 some kind of clarity, some kind of structure to the 116 00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:52,759 questions that dog owners have, even if they're silly, like 117 00:06:52,879 --> 00:06:57,800 sometimes we wonder do dogs dream? Or do dogs get jealous? 118 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,680 And so these are topics that we can easily ask 119 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,600 ask Mambo and easily go down this rabbit hole of 120 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:11,319 of a delightful exchange with the platform as to why 121 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:15,360 dogs dream and why their dogs their tales wag a 122 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:20,439 certain way. And I've spent hours on ask Mambo, laughing 123 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,279 and just just entertaining myself and getting to know behavioral 124 00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,759 traits of this this creature sitting next to me on 125 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,240 the couch. It's been it's been actually quite fascinating. 126 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. What does ask Mambo do differently than 127 00:07:34,399 --> 00:07:37,959 traditional vet hotlines, because now we have a lot of 128 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:44,319 you know, airbed and virtual vet capability with Google or 129 00:07:44,399 --> 00:07:46,759 even dog gpt for sure. 130 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,199 Speaker 5: You know, it's essentially it's a it's a first line 131 00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:52,040 of defense, right, it's getting to know your dog over time. 132 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,879 So initially When you first sign up, we get the 133 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,439 basics about your dog, and then it gets smarter with 134 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,600 every single conversation, so you know, over time it gets 135 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,560 to know what breed you have, the age of the dog. 136 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,920 You can upload medical reports, about reports and it could 137 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:10,480 translate it in and plain English, so you know what 138 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,360 to worry about, what not to worry about. Really explains 139 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,160 medical terms and you know, in a really easy, easy 140 00:08:17,199 --> 00:08:20,079 to understand way. And again we will do a handoff 141 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,240 whenever it's something that's pressing or something that does sound 142 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,399 like an emergency, we'll hand that user off, will recommend 143 00:08:26,439 --> 00:08:29,040 that they that they call their vet. There's a certain 144 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,120 you know, protocols in place to help them get there. 145 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:34,000 But you know, looking at the overall like what does 146 00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:37,200 asked Mambo do? What areas as a focus on It's 147 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,200 really kind of think about it in four journeys, right, 148 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:44,000 It's everything from getting a jog, raising a dog, senior moments, 149 00:08:44,039 --> 00:08:45,799 you know, when they're starting to get a little bit older, 150 00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:48,799 and then also saying goodbye, you know, and we saw 151 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,480 that with Mambo, that's a really sensitive time. Whether there 152 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,639 is not a lot of information out there, there's not 153 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,720 a lot of guidance out there. So basically, as Mambo 154 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,759 just takes everything that it knows about your dog, the 155 00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:04,200 best information that that's publicly available out there, brings those 156 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,519 two worlds together and kind of guide you through the process. 157 00:09:08,519 --> 00:09:11,279 What we're also doing that's you know, different than a 158 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,159 lot of different firms that are out there, is we 159 00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:17,960 really believe in again helping dog parents get closer to 160 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,840 their dog. You know, there's only so much you can 161 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:21,559 do on a screen. So what we're doing is we're 162 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,240 taking that experience off the screen and we're planning packwalks 163 00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:28,039 for twenty twenty six where people come together in a 164 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,559 community in New York, in California and different areas and 165 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,320 they get out there in their fresh air, they get 166 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,960 together and they have some good old fashioned community time 167 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,399 as well. So it's you know, it's all it's off 168 00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:43,840 the screen community building and then really that companionship online 169 00:09:43,879 --> 00:09:46,759 that's right there with you from the minute you say 170 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:48,000 I think we want to get a dog, Why are 171 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,320 we going to name it? All the way to you know, 172 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,960 we have to say goodbye. How do we memorialize him? 173 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,799 How do we make it special? Like we lost Mambo 174 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:00,159 for example, on June tenth and we've we've named you 175 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,679 Intent Mumbo Day, So every year on you Intent, we're 176 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,840 going to be settle a little a little special for Mumbo. 177 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,919 So it's just things like that. I mean, these dogs 178 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,559 are so special and it mean so much to us, 179 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,480 so we really wanted to kind of celebrate that. 180 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 6: And I think just to add what we also are 181 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,399 hearing from people who have used ask Mumbo is that 182 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,440 they're enjoying the personality of the platform. And this is 183 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,000 something that we've been very particular when we were building 184 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,440 it out that we wanted it to be a companion 185 00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:35,639 that also exuded kindness and compassion. We do realize that 186 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,639 this technology is new and so in many ways where 187 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,960 the world is still trying to figure out how to 188 00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:45,360 make the best use of it. And this is our 189 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,120 proposal that we use the technology specific for dog owners, 190 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,759 infused with the kindness and compassion that one would expect 191 00:10:55,799 --> 00:10:59,200 when dealing with our lot of ones. And it looks 192 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,879 like so far people are responding to the humor, the width, 193 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,879 and the generosity of compacity of the platform. 194 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,399 Speaker 2: Okay, how does it differ from another similar AI based 195 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,080 platform like dog GPT. 196 00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 5: Sure, Well, basically we set it up again. We really 197 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,039 spent a lot of time building the persona so it 198 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,639 can be it's it's very friendly. Uh, it's very you know, 199 00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:27,759 engaging and warm. And then when it gets to anything serious, 200 00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:31,000 when it gets something medical, you know, it's it's not jokey. 201 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:34,039 It focuses specifically on the human side of it. And 202 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480 what I mean by that, it's very focused on keeping 203 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:37,519 humans calm. 204 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 2: Which we need to be. 205 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, right, I mean when and I keep going back 206 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,240 to Mama because it was such a gut wrenching experience 207 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,240 when he's having seizures. This little thing is just having seizure, 208 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,200 is locked frozen, staring off. You don't know what to do, 209 00:11:52,159 --> 00:11:54,320 you know, in moments like that, And then even when 210 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,440 it's over and you're preparing for the future, like what 211 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,320 is this thing called cushions disease? How should I understand it? 212 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,960 It's really focused on everything that it says. It goes 213 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,360 through this filter of keeping humans calm, because we know 214 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,000 that we get you know, we get worried. So it's 215 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,600 a matter of really keeping people calm, knowing what to 216 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,440 expect when it comes to medical things, and then also 217 00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:18,440 helping them really understand their dog in a different way 218 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,919 to the point I alill mentioned before about things like 219 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,399 a tail wag. You know, what does a tallwag mean? 220 00:12:23,399 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 7: You know? 221 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 5: And this is something that we even learned with as 222 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,440 mambo with. You know, when it wags to the right, 223 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,879 it's happy and confident. When it wags to the left, 224 00:12:29,919 --> 00:12:33,039 it's uncertainty, your stress, you know, and those little things. 225 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,600 But then when you see your dogs short to wag, 226 00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:36,000 its tell you know a little bit what kind of 227 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,120 mood it's in. And that's something that's based in It's 228 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,120 based in science. It's based in academic research papers that 229 00:12:43,159 --> 00:12:46,720 have come out. So it's not we're not anthropomorphizing, but 230 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:49,360 we're looking at what is a science, what is your 231 00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:53,159 dog's specific situation, and how can we communicate that in 232 00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:55,600 an effective, fun way to really to really again deepen 233 00:12:55,639 --> 00:12:56,320 that relationship. 234 00:12:56,399 --> 00:12:58,759 Speaker 2: Okay, we have to take a quick break and we'll 235 00:12:58,759 --> 00:12:59,360 be right. 236 00:12:59,279 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 3: Down, real people, real stories. 237 00:13:03,759 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 7: Our little dog developed this lump problem at the chemotherapy 238 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:10,639 lasted for six months, started developing more lymph nose, so 239 00:13:10,759 --> 00:13:13,399 I thought I'd just try carnivor. The lymph nose started 240 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,320 to go down. Then I took him into the vet 241 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,240 to him checked out and then there was no signs 242 00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:18,000 at all inside. 243 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,279 Speaker 5: My cat had issues that developed in his height. 244 00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 6: And three months later my ven airing said this, go 245 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:23,799 ahead and remove the eye. 246 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 5: I heard the carnivor on advertising, so I said, you 247 00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,200 know what, I'm going to order this product. 248 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 7: They did the procedure, they did all the death and 249 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,080 they said, I don't know what you did this product. 250 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,279 Speaker 2: They had eye. 251 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 7: I've got a labrador. 252 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 5: You could hardly lift yourself up off the door. 253 00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 7: The treatment was came to therapy.

We're talking to the founders of Ask Mambo, 269 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:35,080 Anthony and R. Lou So very interesting information in our 270 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,679 first half. Here's something I'm curious about. What is the 271 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,039 strangest question that's been asked on ask Mombo. 272 00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I'll tell you. 273 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,879 Speaker 2: I mean, dog parents are there are a lot of 274 00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:50,600 strange ones. And then also I want to know are 275 00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:52,440 you going to have cats as well? 276 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 5: You know, Michelle, we're laser focused on on dogs. It's 277 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,000 completely inspired from Mambo. You know, I've been a dog 278 00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:01,559 person my whole life. Are lose Well, we love cats, 279 00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:04,200 they're they're they're wonderful little creatures, but just a special 280 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,879 place in our heart for dogs. 281 00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 2: Okay, now let's get to the fun. What is the 282 00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:14,440 strangest question? Because people are really passionate about. 283 00:15:14,159 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 5: Their dogs, for sure. For sure, there's a couple of 284 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,480 different levels of strangeness. Level one would be not that strange. 285 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,720 But people like when they're naming their dog, right, they 286 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,679 really have to they really kind of have to think 287 00:15:27,679 --> 00:15:30,919 about why is you know, what is it going to mean? 288 00:15:31,159 --> 00:15:33,240 What kind of personality? And people have all sorts of 289 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,960 different quirks. One question was I'm really into anime and 290 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,879 this is a user told us about this. I'm really 291 00:15:39,919 --> 00:15:43,320 into anime. What are some good anime names? For my 292 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,279 for my pug. So you know, the Asbamba came back, 293 00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:50,440 gave them some really good answers, and now it's bolt 294 00:15:50,519 --> 00:15:54,879 Us five, I think is where they landed. So you know, 295 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,879 that's one what was the name Voltus five and that's 296 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720 I'm not into anime either, but it's but I don't know. 297 00:16:00,799 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 6: That's all this five is is a cartoon series from 298 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:08,960 the eighties, so yeah, it's it's a retro anime, okay. 299 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 5: And then the second level of strangers, things like you 300 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:15,360 know what, wondering about things that dogs do that are 301 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,279 kind of strange. Like, for example, one time somebody did ask, 302 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,480 what is my what does my pug do the unspeakable 303 00:16:21,519 --> 00:16:23,600 with his poop? That's one of the ways they worded it, 304 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,840 So you know, why do they you know what, why 305 00:16:26,039 --> 00:16:27,519 why do they do things like that? And then that 306 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:29,879 was that was more of a medical situation. But it 307 00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:31,720 comes back and it talks about you know, it could 308 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,720 be nutritional gaps that could be boredom. 309 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,279 Speaker 2: Wait, you're talking about eating their poop. 310 00:16:36,399 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 7: That's right. 311 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: All dogs do that, A lot of them do. It's 312 00:16:40,039 --> 00:16:43,360 not just not just pugs. I've had mine were mutts 313 00:16:43,399 --> 00:16:46,720 and they both did that and it's gross. But yeah, 314 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:47,679 dog thing. 315 00:16:48,159 --> 00:16:49,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, so you know, when you first see that, it's 316 00:16:49,919 --> 00:16:52,720 kind of it's kind of jarring. It's something people that 317 00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:54,399 you don't really want to, you know, a little embarrassed 318 00:16:54,399 --> 00:16:56,840 to talk about. But uh, you know again, it's bringing 319 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,039 things like that to to light and saying, hey, it's 320 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,360 it's not the end of the world. It's very common. 321 00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:04,359 Here's some of the specific reasons for it. You know. 322 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,200 So a lot of things like that, and then you know, 323 00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:10,119 just questions about is what is my dog? You know, 324 00:17:10,559 --> 00:17:12,799 is what does he said a certain way? What does 325 00:17:12,839 --> 00:17:15,400 he wink at me? Things like that, Michelle. One of 326 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,400 my recent interaccess with ask Mambo. It is very personal, 327 00:17:19,799 --> 00:17:21,720 and the guess shifting gears a bit because of course 328 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,759 Matthew was matching anime names. There's a lightness to it. 329 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,240 But there was one We have another dog, Murph, and 330 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,880 he's fourteen. He's also a rescue he's a Shitsu mall 331 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:32,599 tease mix. 332 00:17:33,319 --> 00:17:37,519 Speaker 6: And just after Mambo passed, there was something in this 333 00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:40,920 behavior that we noticed that whenever we leave the house, 334 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,599 we'd be walking back to our door and right outside 335 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,319 we'd hear howling. And until we realized that it was 336 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,119 Murph howling while we were gone. And we've had Murph 337 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,400 for ten years and we've never heard him exhibit We've 338 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,359 never seen him exhibit this behavior, and so you know, 339 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,640 we just asked when to ask him when you said, hey, 340 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,920 Mrph seems to be howling. 341 00:18:05,319 --> 00:18:06,279 Speaker 5: And we don't know why. 342 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,799 Speaker 6: And after a bit of some some questions, it was 343 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,519 revealed that dogs do grieve and that since Murph and 344 00:18:16,599 --> 00:18:21,240 Mambo were together twenty four seven, that Mrph was also 345 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:26,319 probably going through his own grieving process and that for 346 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,839 us was something that you know, we don't really think 347 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,039 about pet grieving, but in this case it was. We 348 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,680 were convinced that him missing Mambo, there's now a vacuum 349 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,359 in his life, and so now it makes us more 350 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,759 responsive to him. We've been taking him on longer walks, 351 00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:47,160 we've been including him whenever we were, we're in the bedroom, 352 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,000 or whenever wherever we are we have Mrph with us, 353 00:18:50,519 --> 00:18:53,359 and so it just made us a little more cognizant 354 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,680 of how we are post Mambo's passing. 355 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,519 Speaker 5: And what to do, like now we know, you know, 356 00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:02,079 we could leave the radio on, that the TV on 357 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000 for him a little while we get him a lick 358 00:19:04,079 --> 00:19:06,279 mat so he's a little distracted when when we go 359 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,680 and and then we come back. So it's really it's 360 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,880 really helped. And that was something that was really a shock. 361 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,279 I mean, Murf had never made those sounds before. So 362 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,319 it's just so interesting to see the parallels between dogs 363 00:19:18,319 --> 00:19:21,039 and humans. Of course they're completely different beings, but there 364 00:19:21,079 --> 00:19:24,519 are certain similarities that you know, from from a heart perspective, 365 00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:25,440 kind of tie us together. 366 00:19:25,799 --> 00:19:30,039 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, let's talk about seasonal risks. So we're recording 367 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,000 right before the holiday season in twenty twenty five, we 368 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,519 probably won't be posted to even closer to the holiday season. 369 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,839 Holiday season we always say, means like November, December, Thanksgiving, Hanika, 370 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,400 Christmas time or winter break. But what there's also other 371 00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,839 times of holidays like fireworks and when people are traveling. 372 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,200 How does ask mombo, how pet parents? During those times? 373 00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 5: Sure, so a couple of different ways. One is explicit, 374 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,319 ones implicit. So by implicit, when somebody can go on 375 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,400 there and they can ask questions based on the time 376 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,519 of year, you know, the holidays are coming up fourth 377 00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:10,680 of July, great example, you know, looking at a thunderjacket. 378 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,400 Does that kind of thing help and then also, like 379 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,160 around the holidays, there's a lot of food around. People 380 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,400 are always asking what can my dog eat? 381 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 7: This? 382 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 5: Can my dog eat that? What happens if my dog 383 00:20:21,039 --> 00:20:24,680 swallows tinsil? You know, those sorts of questions come up. 384 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,359 So those are the ways in so like you know, 385 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,079 implicitly and then explicitly. We also have a newsletter called 386 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,440 dog People that's going to be starting to come out 387 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,559 in December of this year, and for that it comes 388 00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:39,799 out monthly, and that we basically deal with the questions 389 00:20:39,839 --> 00:20:41,759 that are coming up related to that month. So if 390 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:45,079 there's a holiday around that month, and then also you know, 391 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,599 change of season when it gets really hot out, if 392 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,720 you have a pug and it's you know, it's August, 393 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,359 there are certain things that you really have to be 394 00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:54,880 aware of. Again, same thing on the flip side. If 395 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,440 you have a small dog, short hair and it's the winter, 396 00:20:57,759 --> 00:20:59,920 obviously certain things to be concerned with there in terms 397 00:21:00,039 --> 00:21:02,640 of bringing them out, little tips and tricks, little hacks. 398 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,880 If your dog hates the rain and you happen to 399 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,640 live in Seattle, it reads all the time, or. 400 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,759 Speaker 2: More South Florida or Florida in general, but especially the 401 00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:14,599 South except this year has been dry. Yeah, not any 402 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,640 hurricane season. But yeah, so you have seasonality coming up 403 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,359 in your newsletter. Let's talk about this what is because 404 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,920 I have some more questions I want to ask for 405 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,319 you run out of time. What is the one thing 406 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,079 that pet parents think they know but they get wrong. 407 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,279 Speaker 5: That's a really good question. I think a lot of 408 00:21:32,319 --> 00:21:34,000 it has to do with when they first get a 409 00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:35,720 dog and they think, oh, we're going to wing it. 410 00:21:35,839 --> 00:21:38,200 You know it'll be fine, but how difficult can it 411 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,960 be for that one times that I'd like to admit, 412 00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:43,359 And you know, there is a lot to it, especially 413 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,880 if you have kids, especially if you have another dog. 414 00:21:46,799 --> 00:21:50,559 Then there's crate training and you need a crate training plan. 415 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,640 That's something actually that ask Mombo creates like for a 416 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,400 crate training or training, it could be day by day, 417 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,119 hour by hour, a month by month, whatever is needed 418 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,480 to build a specific plan for something like create training, 419 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,799 but also for for meal planning. And when you first 420 00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:09,759 get a puppy too, you know there's a lot of 421 00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:11,440 times that they have to be sleeping, you have to 422 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,200 get them up, get them outside, take them for a walk. 423 00:22:14,519 --> 00:22:18,359 Like having an assistant for all of those things really 424 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,400 makes a lot easier. You know, my sister has had 425 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,319 tons of dogs, just got a puppy and asked, Mama 426 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000 has been helping her, and she said, you know, it's 427 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:28,640 really been a godsend because otherwise she wouldn't know what 428 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,599 to do with this dog that's constantly always needing something. 429 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:32,680 It's like it's like a baby. 430 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 7: You know. 431 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,759 Speaker 5: You think, oh, yeah, how difficult can it be? But 432 00:22:34,839 --> 00:22:36,039 it could be pretty difficult. 433 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,519 Speaker 6: And there's another thing, Michelle, that a dog owners tend 434 00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:43,519 to overlook or not give much importance to, and that 435 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,799 is the non verbals of their pets. There was one 436 00:22:46,799 --> 00:22:49,160 time where Murph was sitting on the couch and one 437 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,960 afternoon I just looked looked over at him, and I 438 00:22:52,039 --> 00:22:54,160 noticed that it almost looked like he was winking at me. 439 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,440 And at first I thought maybe there was an irritation 440 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,680 in his eye, but he was he was totally comfortable, 441 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,920 and so I checked to ask Mambo, and apparently dogs 442 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,759 communicate even with small blinks and winks. That it was 443 00:23:07,839 --> 00:23:09,680 his way of just looking at me and saying, hey, 444 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,880 I'm okay, I'm fine chilling here. So there are a 445 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,960 lot of non verbals that could be very informative for 446 00:23:17,039 --> 00:23:21,240 dog owners that ask Mambo can help them decode. 447 00:23:21,519 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 2: Okay, thanks, And you know what, by the way, I 448 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,640 know you don't do cats, but they say cats if 449 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,519 you stare at their eyes and they like close one. 450 00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:31,920 They don't blink. They're not that fast, but they do 451 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:35,039 like a little slow shut. That's supposed to be them 452 00:23:35,079 --> 00:23:35,920 saying they love you. 453 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 5: Oh that's so interesting. 454 00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true, but I've heard that 455 00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:41,319 and read that a few times other shows cat to 456 00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:44,240 So see why I ask about cats even though I 457 00:23:44,319 --> 00:23:47,960 started always having dogs, now I have a cat crew. Okay, 458 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,000 so let's talk about the future of pet wellness. What 459 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,720 would you say the future of pet wellness looks like 460 00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:56,839 with tools like ask Mambo. 461 00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 5: Sure, you know, I'm so excited to be living and 462 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440 the times that we're living in, right, because if this 463 00:24:02,559 --> 00:24:06,119 question was asked thirty years ago, forty years ago, we 464 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:07,640 would have some pretty limited answers. 465 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,839 Speaker 2: Right well, we had no Internet. 466 00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:13,759 Speaker 5: So right, phone based assistance before. 467 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,279 Speaker 2: It started, right ninety eight got more prevalent, right for sure? 468 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:18,839 Speaker 6: For sure? 469 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 5: So I mean the web game in mobile and you know, 470 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,960 and and looking at AI now, which is just completely 471 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,319 disrupting everything and I really see it through the lens 472 00:24:27,319 --> 00:24:31,720 of how can technology humanize the experience of having a dog? 473 00:24:31,799 --> 00:24:34,720 How can And that's why our mission truly is helping 474 00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:37,480 people get closer to their dogs. So what that means is, 475 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,759 as AI gets better and as the functionality gets deeper, 476 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,359 our focus is always going to be figuring out ways 477 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,440 that it could it could you know, strengthen that bond 478 00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:49,559 and build that bond. So for us, you know, it's 479 00:24:49,559 --> 00:24:53,200 looking at AI as a tool that can be part 480 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:55,720 of the overall mission of as Mambo. Like I mentioned, 481 00:24:55,759 --> 00:24:57,720 we're doing things with AI, but also we have you know, 482 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,599 these community meetups and these events that really do bring 483 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,440 people together. You know, should see meetups in Central Park. 484 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,279 I mean, it's just something so special about that. And 485 00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:11,200 then also other technology that's out there has been incredible, 486 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,839 Like you look at smart collars, you look at things 487 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,640 you could attach your dog if they happen to get lost. So, 488 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,880 you know, technology, you know, in and of itself is interesting, 489 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,240 but when you look at it through the lens of 490 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,440 how it could actually help your dog in your relationship 491 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,880 with them, that's what gets us excited. 492 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 6: Right, And this for us is a very unique opportunity 493 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:34,480 given the newness of this technology that since we're dabbling 494 00:25:34,599 --> 00:25:40,640 in technology that is still growing rapidly, we felt our 495 00:25:40,799 --> 00:25:45,960 roles in this case are stewards of the technology. We're 496 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,359 going to bring this to a place where we feel 497 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,920 it's great to help humans in general. And by that 498 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:56,920 I mean technology that is kind, technology that is compassionate, 499 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,839 technology that has a gen that has and even heart, 500 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,200 and that is what we're trying to instill and ask Mambo, 501 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,720 so that people using the platform feel in love. 502 00:26:09,799 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 2: Like when we started off. I mean, I'm a big 503 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,039 fan of AI. I don't think AI should replace people, 504 00:26:15,519 --> 00:26:18,720 you know. I don't like the fake AI actress that 505 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:21,240 they built, and people shouldn't use that as a cheat. 506 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,000 You know, you're cheating yourself if you're not learning something. 507 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,519 But to educate and to inform, you know, I think 508 00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:31,480 it's fantastic and to help you work and take care 509 00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:34,279 and facilitate things, you know, in a better way.
