WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Here we go with the Minnesota Goodbye. And it's really

2
00:00:02.439 --> 00:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>interesting because I was talking to my wife Susan last

3
00:00:04.559 --> 00:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>night and she said, and I agreed, that people love

4
00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>podcasts like young people. That's their radio, that's their companionship.

5
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.039
<v Speaker 1>So if you're like twenty two twenty four, and I said,

6
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>but they're missing out on the live aspect and the

7
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>community aspect, Like you could listen to a great podcast.

8
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:26.199
<v Speaker 1>Let's say you love the Call Her Daddy podcast. That's great.

9
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:28.519
<v Speaker 1>But she's probably never been to Minnesota. She doesn't know

10
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>what many Haha Falls is. She doesn't know like the

11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>little quirks about Mall of America. She doesn't know what

12
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>the stone Arch Bridge is. But is that I really

13
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>like that about local radios because we shop at the

14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 1>same place as you go to. We go to t

15
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Rex Cookies like you go to. We go to Smash

16
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>Park like you do, and Rosedale Mall like you do.

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's something really relatable. But I think

18
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 1>that they're like with podcasters, you know, if you love that,

19
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know call her Daddy. She doesn't shop where

20
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.599
<v Speaker 1>you go to. She doesn't know what four ninety four

21
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>is like during rush hour.

22
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I totally get that. The I prefer radio

23
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>shows if I want, you know, to listen to something

24
00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>that's like local and it's like people having a good

25
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 2>time and just chatting kind of thing, versus a podcast

26
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 2>where all they're doing is just like having a conversation.

27
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Like I'll listen to a podcast that has a specific

28
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>like theme, so if it's like a true crime podcast

29
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 2>or like here's a Dungeons and Dragons podcast, because they're

30
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.239
<v Speaker 2>not just like chatting, but like if they're just chatting

31
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and they have nothing to say that and you're late

32
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to me chatting.

33
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>Do you mean individually no kind of log or conversation.

34
00:01:39.560 --> 00:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Like conversation like how our radio show is conversation, but

35
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:46.599
<v Speaker 2>we're conversating about things that people know about and care about,

36
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>versus a podcast where they might just be like, so

37
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>what did you do last night? I'm like, well, I

38
00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>was down the La Boulevard and I'm like, I have

39
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:55.920
<v Speaker 2>no connection to that.

40
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.879
<v Speaker 1>That's a I think that's a bad podcast, that kind

41
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 1>of mean, And I think that's why a lot of

42
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>people try to do a podcast. But if you don't,

43
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>if you're not naturally an entertainer, your podcast is probably

44
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>not going to do very well because I've heard podcasts

45
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>friends of mine will be like, hey, well, you being

46
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:11.719
<v Speaker 1>on my podcast, and it's like, well, what's the theme

47
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of your podcast?

48
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 2>Now?

49
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>We just talk about.

50
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Anything, right, And see, that's what I'm saying. If you're

51
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.159
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about anything, listen to the radio.

52
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because we're talking about a variety of different things.

53
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.759
<v Speaker 1>But one of my favorite local podcasts that did really

54
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 1>well was God, I can't remember the name, and that's

55
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>too bad, but they would, oh, what's your mount Rushmore?

56
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 1>So they would do what's your mount Rushmore of cheesus,

57
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>what's your mount Rushmore of eighties artists? What's your mount

58
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Rushmore of National parks? And I thought that was really

59
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>clever because every week you would tune in and find

60
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 1>out something new. It's like, Oh, this time they're doing

61
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>mount Rushmore of late night talk show hosts. That's really cool. Yeah,

62
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Or this time they're doing Disneyland rides. I don't care

63
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.319
<v Speaker 1>about that one type of thing. Yeah. But I think

64
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.159
<v Speaker 1>one of the things about this podcast is that it

65
00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>is specifically non specific or non specifically specific.

66
00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 2>It's curated by you, the listeners.

67
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Well it kind of is, yeah, because We basically read

68
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 1>emails and that's what we do. By the way, we

69
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>are on short supply of emails today, so we'll see

70
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>if we can milk these for all their worth. Here

71
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:19.759
<v Speaker 1>is Stephanie, big supporter of the show and a full

72
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>time staff writer. I had a thought based on your

73
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>peanut butter conversation the other day, creamy versus crunchy. What

74
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 1>were the brand's routines, changes, etc. People have had to

75
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.719
<v Speaker 1>make when moving in with a partner. I had to

76
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>switch from ragout pasta, SaaS and cremate pasta to rouse

77
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>and barrilla. For example. My husband does everything from scratch,

78
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>so no more instant rice in our home. We have

79
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 1>a rice cooker with real jasmine rice. No more instant oatmeal,

80
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.319
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. I wonder what other changes people would have

81
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>made when they moved in with their partner. Honestly, it

82
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 1>has been so long for me, I don't remember. I

83
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>really don't remember anything changed for you with Andrew, not

84
00:03:59.240 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>with like.

85
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Brand because I'm cheap, so I just have always bought

86
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:04.599
<v Speaker 3>whatever is cheap. I'm not a bran loyal kind of gal.

87
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 3>I just go with the cheap option, the on sale option,

88
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:09.039
<v Speaker 3>so I don't think so.

89
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

90
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I've never been brand loyal to anything.

91
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask a question, though, what laundry detergent soap

92
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>do you use? Jenny Tide Tidy? Yeah, Ti Tide. Everybody

93
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>uses Tide. I dare you to find somebody unless you're

94
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>like really going out of your way to find the

95
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>generic stuff over at cub or all they or whatever.

96
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Everybody uses Tide. Back in the day, they thought that

97
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>the Procter and Gamble logo was a demonic sign because

98
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:43.519
<v Speaker 1>it was a half moon surrounded by like thirteen stars

99
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.399
<v Speaker 1>or something. So there was a rumor back in the

100
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>late seventies or so that you, of course you use

101
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 1>Tide because the devil made you do it. So, in

102
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 1>other words, Procter and Gamble, the manufacturers have tiede, had

103
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>to deal with the devil. Everybody use his tiede because

104
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 1>of the demonic possession that we all experienced from Procter

105
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 1>and Gamble products. And you really couldn't explain away name

106
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:11.079
<v Speaker 1>another laundry detergent arm and hammer.

107
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.759
<v Speaker 2>Maybe yeah, I mean, I can think I can picture them,

108
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 2>but I wouldn't know their name because I don't think

109
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.879
<v Speaker 2>about their name. It's laundry detergent. What a lame thing

110
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>for the devil to plant to our.

111
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 1>It was all about Procter and Gamble and and the

112
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>and Procter and Gamble got rid of the logo because

113
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.800
<v Speaker 1>people started a rumor kind of an Irvan legend that

114
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a demonic possession sign and the company was

115
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>run by demon worshippers, and everybody used what kind of toothpaste?

116
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:38.879
<v Speaker 1>What kinds crest?

117
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

118
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, who is crest? Made by?

119
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Really proctant Ramble? But I don't use crest. I just

120
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 2>think that's the first thing I think, understand. Yeah, but

121
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>that seems I mean, hey, power to the devil. I

122
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>would give him more credit to do bigger things than

123
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>just a Procter and Gamble.

124
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But I love it. I guess it wasn't the devil's work.

125
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>It was Procter and Gamble using the devil. Oh, so

126
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Procter and Gamble had to put out press releases and

127
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>statements and say this is a bunch of fucking hooey.

128
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.920
<v Speaker 1>We're a bunch of face, we swear. And my sister Sharon,

129
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>who's a pretty level headed person back then, she's like, oh,

130
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't buy tide anymore. And I do not buy

131
00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Procter and Gamble products really because they are run by

132
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of devil worshipers. And I thought, okay, so

133
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 1>I did a little bit of a deeper dive into

134
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>this when, of course it's not true.

135
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's fascinating.

136
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>But Procter and Gamble. Look up if you will, right now,

137
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>old Procter and Gamble logo and then describe what you see.

138
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:37.759
<v Speaker 1>They got rid of it. It used to be on

139
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>all of their products. And if I remember right, it's

140
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 1>a half moon surrounded by a bunch of stars. Is

141
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:44.639
<v Speaker 1>that right?

142
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Face on it? And then yeah, it's like a half

143
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:48.639
<v Speaker 3>moon with a face on it. Kind of looks like

144
00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 3>a Greek god vibe, almost.

145
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>Like a coin kind of yeah, and the stars interesting.

146
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't think that this is the devil, but I

147
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:02.199
<v Speaker 2>love that. I love that that story in general. I'm

148
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be here to push that out to everyone. Now,

149
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to facilitate it.

150
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think, and I remember the only part that

151
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 1>was convincing was when I was a kid, everybody used

152
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Cress toothpaste or or Colgate, but never anything like Aqua Fresh.

153
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, who uses that? What do you use paradon

154
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.600
<v Speaker 2>tax which is for your gums?

155
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.959
<v Speaker 1>I use arm and hammer something or other. It's it's

156
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 1>she has got a different kind of a taste to it.

157
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 1>It's less minty, and I've heard it's less abrasive than

158
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's better for your gums. So, yeah, we're

159
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about gum care cares. What happens when we don't

160
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:47.439
<v Speaker 1>get enough emails? So let's continue. So what other changes

161
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 1>would you have made when you moved in? The Only

162
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:51.199
<v Speaker 1>thing that I would have changed with Susan is she

163
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 1>would buy cheap shit all the time, which ends up

164
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.839
<v Speaker 1>costing more in the long run. And I remember one

165
00:07:56.879 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>time she bought a couch and a chair and you know,

166
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:06.000
<v Speaker 1>they're matching, and they were shit. She got a bargain,

167
00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.519
<v Speaker 1>probably two hundred dollars for both, I don't know, And

168
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>after sitting on both or laying on both for a

169
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 1>couple of months, all of the spring had gone out

170
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of the couch and they were just foams. So it

171
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>was like, this couch is only two months old and

172
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>there is no cushion left. Yeah, So we put it

173
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 1>out by the front yard and the curb and gave

174
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>it away. And so that's one thing we've definitely had

175
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 1>to compromise on. But she still leans toward buying cheap shit,

176
00:08:31.959 --> 00:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, you buy cheap shit, you're gonna pay

177
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>for it.

178
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I get that. I have a cheap dresser that

179
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.559
<v Speaker 2>I bought during like quarantine. I was like, this is

180
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:44.080
<v Speaker 2>an investment, but it was, I mean, because it was expensive,

181
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:45.039
<v Speaker 2>but it's.

182
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 1>Cheap in like the materials of all.

183
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like the material is cheap, and I wish I

184
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.919
<v Speaker 2>had just bought something on Facebook marketplace that had been

185
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.200
<v Speaker 2>like used by someone for a long period of time

186
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:00.679
<v Speaker 2>that's you know, like sturdy versus this like cute dresser

187
00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>that I was like, oh, I'll buy this. Yeah, it's expensive,

188
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 2>but I'll use it all the time. None of the

189
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.559
<v Speaker 2>drawers are on the tracks, but really they're all like

190
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:12.039
<v Speaker 2>askew to it, and I just like I think, oh,

191
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 2>is it me? Is it user error? No, it's just

192
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>like the drawers are too heavy for the tiny, cheap

193
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.559
<v Speaker 2>little tracks that are in the dresser.

194
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:21.600
<v Speaker 1>And it's cute.

195
00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.279
<v Speaker 3>When you're young, though, like that is what you do

196
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 3>is you buy cheap things because you literally can't afford it.

197
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.840
<v Speaker 3>Eventually you do learn quality is worth it to pay

198
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.399
<v Speaker 3>a little bit more money, but if you don't have

199
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 3>the money, you can't.

200
00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>And I totally get that, and that is why, like

201
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Walmart thrives on people that can't afford and

202
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to sound like a dick, but can't

203
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:46.279
<v Speaker 1>afford to spend more money. That is what Walmart does.

204
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Walmart's stuff is a lot of the time it's shit,

205
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and I will say it. I don't care. They're not

206
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 1>a sponsor of the show. But if you can't afford

207
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to you got a family of six and you need, like,

208
00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, new clothes or bedroom furniture, you can't afford

209
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to go to Target. Target is not cheap. Target is

210
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 1>better quality. But one of my favorite illustration stories of

211
00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>that is this is a true story and I think

212
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>it was Toro. So I think I'm going to say

213
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it's Toro because that's the way I heard the story.

214
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:17.919
<v Speaker 1>If I'm wrong, then let me know. Walmart. When they

215
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 1>have like the Walmart brand or whatever, it's not made

216
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 1>by Walmart, they will team up with Toro to sell

217
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a lawnmower. So it might have been a Toro brand.

218
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, Walmart approached Toro and said Hey, we want

219
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 1>you to build a lawnmower that sells for less than

220
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>two hundred dollars, and because we want to sell a

221
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 1>cheap lawnmower. And Toro tried. They designed a lawnmower that

222
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:48.679
<v Speaker 1>they could sell for under two hundred dollars. But they said,

223
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not a good lawnmower. It doesn't work, it doesn't

224
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>run right, it'll break down. And Walmart said we'll take it,

225
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:00.799
<v Speaker 1>and Toro said, no, we're not going to do it.

226
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Toro shout out to Toro for having the integrity. They said,

227
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.559
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to put our name on a product

228
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 1>that is shit because we can't make a good lawnmower

229
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 1>or even a decent lawnmower for under two hundred dollars. Now,

230
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.879
<v Speaker 1>I made up some of the you know, the numbers.

231
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the price point was. Yeah, but

232
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it's kind of like I learned with vacuum cleaners. Don't

233
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 1>buy a shit vacuum cleaner because it will break down

234
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:28.399
<v Speaker 1>after six weeks or six months.

235
00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Vacuum cleaner. You're like, why isn't it sucking? Oh, it's

236
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 2>because you bought it for sixty bucks.

237
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And it's like you look at it go, well,

238
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.639
<v Speaker 1>it's a vacuum cleaner, right right, Yeah, but you got

239
00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to buy a dice in which is going to be

240
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>five hundred dollars. Yes, but it works, but it works.

241
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 3>It works. I would suggest if you're listening to this

242
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.799
<v Speaker 3>on October eighth or ninth, to go on Amazon because

243
00:11:47.799 --> 00:11:48.919
<v Speaker 3>it's prime.

244
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Day to day. Yeah.

245
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.240
<v Speaker 3>So that's where I got my dyce in for like

246
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.600
<v Speaker 3>a great deal on a Prime day one time last year.

247
00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:56.799
<v Speaker 3>I will say though, that it was acting a little

248
00:11:56.840 --> 00:11:58.200
<v Speaker 3>weird the other day when I was using it, and

249
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting stressed because that little effort for a year,

250
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:03.799
<v Speaker 3>And I swear I hope it was just something with

251
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.759
<v Speaker 3>the battery was like dying and that's why it was

252
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 3>making kind of noises of like I can't do it

253
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 3>anymore because it needed to be charged. I get it,

254
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 3>but I was like, this needs to last me at

255
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 3>least two years or else I'm not buying these expensive

256
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>as vacuums.

257
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:19.919
<v Speaker 1>We have a towel warmer outside of the bathtub or

258
00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.799
<v Speaker 1>outside of the shower fancy and it is the best

259
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.919
<v Speaker 1>thing ever. Once you get used to a warm towel,

260
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:28.320
<v Speaker 1>we get out of the bathtub or the shower. You

261
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>never want to go back. It feels unnatural. So we've

262
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.279
<v Speaker 1>had this towel warmer for I want to say, six

263
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 1>or eight years. It's worked great. It looks like a

264
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 1>garbage can with a lid. You put your towel in it,

265
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:39.919
<v Speaker 1>you push the on button.

266
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>I've seen those.

267
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you're in the shower for you know, ten

268
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>minutes or whatever. You get out of your towel is toasty, osty, warm.

269
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Toasty osty.

270
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>It feels so good, it is so worth it. It

271
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>stopped working. Oh, it's like the last like it didn't

272
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.559
<v Speaker 1>work yesterday and then I thought maybe I forgot to

273
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>push the button today. It doesn't work. Nothing works. So

274
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:00.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get another one, but we're gonna get a

275
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 1>good one because we enjoy it so much. And it

276
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 1>lasted six or eight years.

277
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was gonna say, you've had it for a while,

278
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 3>so it's had a good run, Alley, it's.

279
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 1>Had a good run exactly. I'm going to bring up

280
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 1>something that is not an email, but this is someone

281
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>will run by you guys, especially Jenny, because you're a

282
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.639
<v Speaker 1>pet person, and we have so many pet people that

283
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:26.759
<v Speaker 1>listen to the show. My little girl Josie. She's my delabradoodle.

284
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>She's the size of a large cat and she's fifteen

285
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 1>and a half. She still loves her walks. Sure, her

286
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 1>appetite is not what it used to be. She has

287
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a little trouble pooping, but she's doing fine. But what

288
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.159
<v Speaker 1>is not doing fine is she's got these moles and

289
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>eruptions on her skin. They are moles. They look like hard,

290
00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>crusty wartz, and they're now bleeding. Oh got So we

291
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.720
<v Speaker 1>have to have her in a diaper because she peas

292
00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 1>and her little moles bleed into the diaper. And we

293
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.600
<v Speaker 1>went to the doctor and the doctor said, we can't

294
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>take him off because we do not want to put

295
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.440
<v Speaker 1>this old dog under for anesthesia. So she's got a

296
00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>big one on her side that is it's so gross.

297
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.759
<v Speaker 1>It's about the size of it. It looks like a big

298
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.639
<v Speaker 1>pink thumb on her side and it bleeds and oozes.

299
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And she's got one above her tail, right on her butt,

300
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>above her tail, and it bleeds and oozes, and it's like,

301
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:31.080
<v Speaker 1>am I cruel to keep her alive? When she they

302
00:14:31.080 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>don't seem to hurt her. She doesn't pick or dig,

303
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 1>but she has bleeding sores on the outside of her skin.

304
00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.799
<v Speaker 1>She still runs around the yard. I took her for

305
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.080
<v Speaker 1>a two and a half mile walk yesterday. She loved it,

306
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:49.799
<v Speaker 1>loves her treats, loves her scratches. But is it cruel

307
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.879
<v Speaker 1>at some point to let her continue with these bleeding

308
00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:56.159
<v Speaker 1>ulcers on her skin?

309
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so I've only dealt with Mickey being put down,

310
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.639
<v Speaker 3>which is was Andrew's dog most his life. I've only

311
00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:05.639
<v Speaker 3>lived with her for a couple of years, and at

312
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.200
<v Speaker 3>first I thought he made the wrong decision of putting

313
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.879
<v Speaker 3>her down too early. Like in my eyes, I thought

314
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.000
<v Speaker 3>she was still good, but she really was struggling in

315
00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:15.759
<v Speaker 3>so many different ways, because like she still liked to

316
00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 3>go on walks and stuff. And I was like, well,

317
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 3>she's still like functioning, but realistically, like she could barely function.

318
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.320
<v Speaker 3>She couldn't see anymore. She would fall off the stairs

319
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 3>going into the yard. We only had two stairs off

320
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.799
<v Speaker 3>our dec into the yard, and so like. And I

321
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 3>didn't really understand the concept of like when you put

322
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 3>a dog down, because that was my first time experiencing that. Sure,

323
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 3>but I would say, if you think her quality of

324
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 3>life has really derailed to a point, where you don't

325
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.960
<v Speaker 3>think she might be enjoying it as much, then I

326
00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:44.480
<v Speaker 3>think that that's the moment. But and I do. I

327
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.399
<v Speaker 3>will say I know a lot of people who have

328
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:50.320
<v Speaker 3>held onto their animals for their own selfish reasons way longer,

329
00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.120
<v Speaker 3>like honestly, even like years longer. Like I know one

330
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.360
<v Speaker 3>dog that was practically a walking skeleton and they finally

331
00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:58.759
<v Speaker 3>put it down like probably three years after they should

332
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 3>have sure. And so I just I don't know. I

333
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:04.559
<v Speaker 3>think you know Josie best. You need to go with

334
00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 3>what you think is best for Josie, even if that

335
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:10.240
<v Speaker 3>takes away from something that might be selfish for you,

336
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 3>of keeping her longer.

337
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Right, I think that she still has got some great

338
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 1>quality with her now because I've put her down now,

339
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine her saying, Dad, I've still got some

340
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:21.639
<v Speaker 1>cloth like life left in me. Yeah, because she does

341
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:25.240
<v Speaker 1>have life left in her. But with the bleeding moles, yeah,

342
00:16:25.360 --> 00:16:27.960
<v Speaker 1>on the outside of her skin. It's like if I

343
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:30.519
<v Speaker 1>saw somebody with an older dog out for a walk

344
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and they had bleeding moles and they're not bleeding furiously,

345
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 1>they're just oozing a little bit weeping. Would I be like, God,

346
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>put your poor dog down.

347
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I feel like that with the quality of life thing.

348
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Once she stops liking walks or stops eating entirely and

349
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:50.039
<v Speaker 2>is like moping around, then you know her quality of

350
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>life can't be high. But like if she's still enjoying that,

351
00:16:52.960 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>then I mean, is there like a salve you could

352
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.639
<v Speaker 2>put on these bleeding moles?

353
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Like, so putoporin on it, right, and kind of moisture

354
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>because they're dry.

355
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So you're like doing what you can to make

356
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:08.599
<v Speaker 2>those feel less like of an issue to her because obviously,

357
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:10.720
<v Speaker 2>like if they were that bad and she hated them

358
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.720
<v Speaker 2>and hated her quality of life, then she'd be like

359
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.599
<v Speaker 2>trying to tear them off or just like laying on

360
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the ground and letting them bleed. But I still think

361
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 2>she has like a high quality of life. She still

362
00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:20.480
<v Speaker 2>likes going outside.

363
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to go for a two mile walk, that's a

364
00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:25.400
<v Speaker 1>lot for an old dog. Yeah, she's not struggling. She

365
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:28.400
<v Speaker 1>keeps up just fine. Right, I can't run with her anymore.

366
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 1>I stopped running with her earlier this summer when I

367
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.960
<v Speaker 1>noticed she's just struggling to keep up. Yeah. So all right,

368
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:35.640
<v Speaker 1>let me know what you think if you are a

369
00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>dog person or a VET or a VET tech. Let

370
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:40.480
<v Speaker 1>me know, because you know, I, like I said, I

371
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 1>think she still got a lot of life left in her.

372
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>But I also don't want to push it to the

373
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.599
<v Speaker 1>point where it's like, come on right. Let me know

374
