13
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.079
<v Speaker 2>That's right. Yeah, we have our warehousing there. We ship

14
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>but all across America, right from that beautiful city of

15
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.560
<v Speaker 2>yours that gets a little coal sometimes during the winter

16
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>it does, it's a little hot, but when I was there,

17
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 2>it was beautiful and it's a beautiful city.

18
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you, and we love it here and let's

19
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>talk a little bit. A lot of folks that are

20
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>listening know you from Batman and Robin, from other projects

21
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>that you do, and of course I know you from

22
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Gentle Giants. Dog food and cat food, because we've talked

23
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>about that before. How did that all come about, because

24
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>that's not something everybody listening probably doesn't realize that you're

25
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>very involved in this. Let's talk a little bit about that.

26
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, for the last thirty one years, my wife

27
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.359
<v Speaker 2>and I have rescued more than fifteen thousand, five hundred

28
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>dogs and more than three hundred and fifty cats. In

29
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.000
<v Speaker 2>every case we found each and everyone a safe, loving home.

30
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>In the course of doing that, we realized how short

31
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 2>lives that the dogs and cats have in comparison to

32
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 2>our human lives, and how meaningful our pets are to us,

33
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.799
<v Speaker 2>and we vowed that if there was a way, we

34
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 2>would try to help them live longer and healthier. This

35
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.799
<v Speaker 2>is our charity. My wife and I don't take any

36
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>salary from this. We never have, we never will. But

37
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>we spent years to develop the finest pet food in

38
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 2>the world that we believe is the finest, and we

39
00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:57.599
<v Speaker 2>judge that on the fact that dogs and cats eating

40
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 2>gentle giants' natural, non gam ingredients pet foods are living

41
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:06.640
<v Speaker 2>into their twenties. One of our customers has a dog that,

42
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 2>on January third, just a month ago, turned thirty one

43
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:11.360
<v Speaker 2>years of age.

44
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 1>Wow, he's been.

45
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Feeding for sixteen and a half years. Our food has

46
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>been around a long time, and our food is available.

47
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 2>Our dog food is available in all the pet Coast

48
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>stores across America there's fifteen hundred, and our dog food

49
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 2>and our cat food are also available online at petco

50

51

<v Speaker 2>like Tractor Supply and Chewy dot com and PetSmart dot

52
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>com they all have our food as well. But this

53
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.439
<v Speaker 2>is our life's work and we're thrilled to be able

54
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>this year that we are and have been a sponsor

55
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Super Bowl promotion that started last month in

56
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>January up until the game coming up on Sunday. And

57
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in addition this year, we're also going to be a

58
00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 2>sponsor of Major League Baseball, of college basketball, and the

59
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 2>NFL National Football League. And we just want to reach

60
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>people out there and say, if you love your dog

61
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 2>or cat and you're interested in giving them an ext

62
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 2>year ten years or more of healthy active life, considered

63
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>picking up general giants for them so that they can

64
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.240
<v Speaker 2>have an opportunity to live as long as our dogs

65
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>and cats are living.

66
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I love that and one of the things that I

67
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 1>really like is again with the connection that we have

68
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 1>here in Sioux Falls. And you've got a connection. Not

69
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 1>only is the food made in this area, it's distributed

70
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.039
<v Speaker 1>from right here in Sioux Falls. So I love the

71
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that this even though we're listening to a guy

72
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.319
<v Speaker 1>who everybody all around the world know you, it's also

73
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>a very local topic because the Gentle Giants dog food

74
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>is distributed from Sioux Falls.

75
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>Right well, it's actually and it's made in Sioux City, Iowa,

76
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 2>which is only ninety miles away, and it's delivered up

77
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:59.000
<v Speaker 2>to Sioux Falls. We've been with them with Nordica Warehouses

78
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>there for many years. Wonderful people, and we ship all

79
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:07.039
<v Speaker 2>over the United States. And again one of the things

80
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.800
<v Speaker 2>that we do we make our food fresh for every

81
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 2>order every retailer that carries our food. In other words,

82
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 2>we don't have warehouses full of food. We only they

83
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>get the food right after they make it, the next

84
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.399
<v Speaker 2>day after it's made, and then the next day after

85
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>that it's shipped out. So people are getting freshly made food.

86
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't understand a lot of the bigger

87
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.079
<v Speaker 2>companies are bragging that their food has a three year

88
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 2>shelf life. I wouldn't want to feed my dog of

89
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>food that was made three years ago. We believe that

90
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 2>the s a dog eats food that has been freshly made,

91
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:45.120
<v Speaker 2>the better the nutrition.

92
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Well, Bert, thank you for all that

93
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:51.000
