We're gonna start 2 00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.200 off with an email dive right in from Brianna, our 3 00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:10.400 show secretary who mails out staff writer stickers.

Well, there's no surprise because 8 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:26.120 nobody knows how to spell your name, so that's it. 9 00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:28.199 It's Bree. I mean, if I spell your name, you'll 10 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.399 get a lot more followers. But when you say, like 11 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.159 follow me Brianna Bully, well I wouldn't know how to 12 00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:35.039 spell that myself, so I will go ahead and spell 13 00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:39.399 it for you.

She's so Brandon's like one of 17 00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.399 the sweetest people. Which really do we call her Brian 18 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:58.600 or Briell? Herself secretary Brie So I don't know if 19 00:00:58.640 --> 00:00:59.840 she prefers one or an other. 20 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.280 I took her flying. I took her staff writer stickers 21 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.400 a couple of three weeks ago, and I said, well, 22 00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:07.000 I can mail him to you, but better yet, I'll 23 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.319 just fly up to Buffalo meet me at the airport. 24 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.439 So her and her husband came by and he videotaped 25 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.079 as she got to the airplane and we went flying. 26 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.120 So shout out Secretary Brie. She said, you're short on emails, 27 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.799 so I'm doing my part. I've already recommended the documentary Amber, 28 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.159 The Girl Behind the Alert on Peacock, but it got 29 00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.439 me thinking, Dave, do you recall when the Amber alert 30 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.920 became a thing? They share in the documentary how essential 31 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.239 radio stations were in making the alert successful and heard 32 00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.280 by many. Have you ever had to announce an Amber alert? No, 33 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.959 but I will tell you. Back in the late nineties, 34 00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.640 I was reading a magazine article about how the first 35 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.760 Amber alert started in Texas about a girl that literally 36 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.200 her name was Amber, and they put out an Amber 37 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.400 alert on TV and on freeway electric signs and on 38 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.799 radio stations, and it made me want to say, hey, 39 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.439 our radio station needs to enact this am alert. And 40 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.840 I'm not patting myself on the back because it didn't 41 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.200 work out. But I went to my boss and I said, hey, 42 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.840 this is really cool. We need to enact this Amber alert. 43 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.080 So if anybody ever disappears in Minnesota or is abducted, 44 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.159 we can go on the radio and say, hey, Katie 45 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.280 WB is issuing an amber alert, and all the other 46 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.759 radio stations would join in. And basically the boss's answer 47 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:20.639 was fuck yourself. 48 00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:20.919 WHOA. 49 00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:24.639 So yeah, because we had a very unimaginative boss. 50 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.439 And that's not even imagine that's like safety. 51 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.319 They were not in they were not into it. They 52 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:35.319 were not into doing good. They were into their own thing. 53 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:41.680 So yeah, And which boss am I talking about? Because 54 00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.479 I had several bosses? 55 00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:43.800 Which boss was I talking about? 56 00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.879 Okay? It was not Mark, by the way to tell us, Yeah, 57 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.879 probably Okay. One other question, You've ever been aware of 58 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.560 another show stealing your morning show content? And have you 59 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.159 ever confronted or said anything to said shows for stealing 60 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:59.080 from you? Yeah? There was one. God, I mean the 61 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:03.000 the Ugly Kids billboard that Angie Taylor and I put 62 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.599 up twenty five years ago. It was us both as 63 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.800 fifth grader's little kid pictures and they knocked out our teeth, 64 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.520 and they made our eyes crossed, and they gave us 65 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.919 funny ears and they said ugly kids. And then the 66 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.360 reveal was about a month later where it said ugly 67 00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.879 kids become DJs, but you didn't know what it meant. 68 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.680 And it was so successful that it was stolen everywhere, 69 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.000 really everywhere, and it pissed me off because other people. 70 00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.599 There was like an article in People magazine about the 71 00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.879 station in Milwaukee that did it, and it's like, bitch, 72 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.439 that was my idea. Yeah, we get stuff stolen all 73 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:35.719 the time. 74 00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.120 Wow. Literally, like if you google ugly Kids, it pre 75 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.120 fills it with Billboard, does it really? Yes? And this 76 00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.479 is one from Oh, this is two thousand and three. Okay, 77 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:45.879 got it. That's probably around the same time. 78 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.000 Yeah, well we did arg in about ninety nine or 79 00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:51.800 two thousand and two or something like that. 80 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:53.199 Apparently they're all over the place. 81 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.639 Yeah, and that was my idea. And that's just what 82 00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.240 That's one of the reasons why I've been able to 83 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.759 stay in this business for a long time is because 84 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.520 I just come up with ideas. That's really I'm not 85 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.400 that good at presenting them on the radio, but I'm 86 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.800 really good at coming up with ideas. And I'll tell 87 00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.479 you a quick little story. So the other night, I 88 00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.280 get ideas in the middle of the night, and I 89 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.079 wake up and I go god, I got to remember that, 90 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.319 and I never do. So I woke up with a 91 00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.680 really good couple of ideas and I said, if I 92 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.680 don't write it down, I gonna forget. So I turned 93 00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.800 on the light the lamp on the nightstand, looked in 94 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:28.959 the drawer and it's in the guest room, so it's 95 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.839 not my drawer. I sleep in the guest room. And 96 00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:33.959 I open it up and I find a pen, and 97 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.519 I find a journal. It was a journal I gave 98 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:40.279 Allison for Christmas. It says Merry Christmas to Allison from Dad, 99 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.639 two thousand and four. And I tore a page out 100 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.199 of it and wrote my idea down. And I told Alison, 101 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.720 I said, I found your old journal f when when 102 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.519 you were twelve years old. She's like, yeah, dedn't rate 103 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.800 it dead, yeo. And I'm like, no, I did not 104 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:56.199 read it. And we were, you know, basically like I 105 00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:57.680 don't know what was going on in your life when 106 00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.720 you're twelve years old, but probably like crushes on boy 107 00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:08.319 and things like that, and oh okay. Then she wraps 108 00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:10.879 up with how she only got one follower, and thank you, 109 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.319 secretary Brie. We appreciate all you do. Hitting the lead 110 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:15.800 on that one. 111 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.759 Well, here's the billboard of you and Angie, Ugly Kids 112 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:20.839 and Little Canada in two thousand and two. 113 00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.120 Yeah. Nice, it was a huge billboard. 114 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.879 Yeah, and I gotta come up with a good idea. 115 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.720 Well, the other billboard I came up with was Dave 116 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:29.800 Ryan gave me crabs. 117 00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:31.199 Yes, I remember seeing that one. 118 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.399 That was about three ish two and a half ish 119 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.120 years ago. And then we wanted to come up with 120 00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:38.399 one that was going to be another teaser kind of 121 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.120 a billboard when vaut joined the show. It would just 122 00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.839 be a black billboard with white lettering that said Bigger, Better, Blacker, 123 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:48.319 And then it would sit up there for a couple 124 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.199 of weeks and people would be like, what's that all about? 125 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.319 Is that a new show on Max? Is that? What 126 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.759 is that? And it would reveal like a picture of 127 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.399 all of us Bigger, better, blacker than Dave Ryan Show. 128 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.319 And we were going to do it. We really that'd 129 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.319 be a great idea, and Vont ran it by some 130 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.000 of his family and they said, eh, I think they 131 00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:09.600 said it's not a good optic. It seems like it 132 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.600 is taking advantage of the fact that there's a black 133 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.160 kid on the show instead of showing it off, which 134 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.199 my idea was like, Hey, we're the only morning show 135 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.600 in town that's got a full time salaried black guy 136 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.680 on the show. I don't think there's another one. I'm wow, 137 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.240 And I just thought it was kind of a fun 138 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:29.800 novel thing and everybody, including Vont loved it. But he 139 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:31.480 ran it by some people and they're like, nah, I 140 00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:31.920 don't think so. 141 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:32.519 Yeah. 142 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:37.079 So, continuing on with the Minnesota Goodbye and to click 143 00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:40.600 this tab, here we go, Christy says, walk in to dogs. 144 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.240 This morning, I encountered various piles what looked like dog 145 00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:46.639 poop on my route. I will spare you a photo, 146 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:48.800 but based on the looks of it, it's coyote or 147 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:52.800 fox poo as they eat berries, which are readily available 148 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.839 this time of the year. So today on my walk, 149 00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.639 I came across the pooh circled in bright pink chalk 150 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:02.040 with the word who. Keep in mind, we live in 151 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.399 a wooded area in the country where it's not unusual 152 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:07.680 to see coyotes and fox Clearly somebody is upset was 153 00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.839 seeing the poo in things. It's left by a domestic 154 00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.480 dog and the irresponsible owner leaving it, perhaps taking time 155 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.920 to call out who did it. Perhaps they could pick 156 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.920 it up and put their mind at ease. Do I 157 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.519 pick it up? I clean up after my dogs, but 158 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.199 I wasn't about to clean up every turt I see 159 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:26.759 from a wild animal. Being a natural born smart ass, 160 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.920 I'm tended to leave a note indicating the wild animals 161 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:30.319 that live in the woods and what they eat. What 162 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.759 would you do? I would just be impressed with myself 163 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:34.920 that I knew that it was coyote poop. Yeah, I'd 164 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:37.120 be like, I wouldn't do a thing. A scientist, I 165 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.480 mean personally, I have learned that certain things. No, I 166 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.480 wouldn't do anything about it. But I see it all 167 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.439 the time. I even you know, when I go on 168 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:48.480 the back trails at Minawashta, two out of three dogs 169 00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.519 were off a leash. Two out of three dogs that 170 00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.759 I see on the back trails, they're off the leash, 171 00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.240 and it's like, bitch, there's an off leash dog park 172 00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.800 right down the road, but they don't want to do that. 173 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.120 They want to go on the trails where your I 174 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:03.839 don't know why. 175 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.199 Yeah, so they can be alone with their dog because 176 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.000 they probably think, oh, it's the back trails. I can 177 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:09.680 let my dog off leash and doesn't matter. 178 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.480 Yeah, I'm sure that's what they do. But and then 179 00:08:12.519 --> 00:08:13.959 I see it in my neighborhood too. So I was 180 00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.600 on the very calmon trail. There's a marsh by my 181 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:18.839 house and there's got a loop trail around it, and 182 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.879 it's paved. It's such a common trail that it's paved. 183 00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:24.920 And I saw some jack hole the other night with 184 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:28.879 his fucking dog off the leash, and it's like, we 185 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:32.720 bring this up way too often. So I'm gonna move on, Christy, 186 00:08:32.919 --> 00:08:38.000 thank you very much. I'm gonna tap delete on that 187 00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.840 one and give me a second stall for me. 188 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.879 Okay, my back hurts right now. I've been sitting kind 189 00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.279 of funny lately. 190 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.159 Is it because you're sleeping with your cat? 191 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.279 I do always have my arm hitched up because he 192 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.559 likes to lay on my chest like he's a baguette 193 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:56.799 and I'm holding like or a bunch of flowers or something. 194 00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.799 So maybe it's that. Maybe I have to tell it. 195 00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.919 I have to have a talk with them. Yeah, I'll 196 00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.120 be like, you can't sit like that anymore. 197 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.440 Don't say a name on this one, hey, besties, Okay, Dave, 198 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.600 four fucking debbies in a fifth that went by the 199 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:15.759 name Rusty. Holy fuck. We were talking about like your 200 00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:18.679 body count yesterday and I could name them all off. 201 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.440 And there were four debbies in there. Debbie. Every debbie 202 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.559 I've ever known has been a closet psycho, and you 203 00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:27.679 stuck five of them. I love the vulgarity of the 204 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:31.360 word stuck. Tell us a story about the crazy ass 205 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.639 debbie that crossed your path. Love you guys the most. 206 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.120 And I won't say her name, but I will say 207 00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.000 they are a regular staff writer of the show. And 208 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:41.080 they are very, very, very funny. And if I told you, 209 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:42.759 guys who it is, you'd know right away who is 210 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.200 So No, the all the debbies that I knew were 211 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:48.879 all very nice. There was one who was a little, 212 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.159 a little bit I don't want to say psycho because 213 00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.480 that's not fair. Yeah, but she was too pretty for me. 214 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.320 At some point she realized she was too pretty for me, 215 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:00.159 so she started sleeping with somebody else and and I 216 00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:02.480 knew about it, and I was kind of heartbroken because 217 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:04.759 she was kind of my girlfriend at the time. And 218 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:08.200 then so I blew her off and I'm like, Okay, 219 00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:10.919 she's done. And then about a month or two later, 220 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:16.559 she sent me a pair of stuffed, shiny lips in 221 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.919 the mail, like I think of a stuffed animal. No, 222 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.679 you'll give a stuffed animal, but their lips like kissy 223 00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:25.799 face lips. Sure, okay, yeah, And they're stuffed and they're shiny, 224 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:27.480 and they had a string to hang from your rear 225 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.679 view mirror. And that was her way of reaching back 226 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:34.679 out to me before email, before before text messaging. She 227 00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:37.320 sent me this. I still remember standing in my mailbox 228 00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:40.240 going what the fuck? And it was from Debbie. And 229 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.639 I never wrote her back. I never called her, and 230 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.000 I was just done. But that was her way of 231 00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.399 like reaching back into my life. And I remember acknowledged it, 232 00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.279 and I felt really good about not acknowledging it, even 233 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:54.679 though she was attractive and she was wanting to get 234 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:55.480 me back in her life. 235 00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:58.360 Did you ever sleep in any uggos? Because it seems 236 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.559 like there's a trend where they're all hot. That's how 237 00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:01.840 you've framed all of them. 238 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:07.399 I did. Her name is Mary, okay, And the she 239 00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:10.360 called the radio station on a Saturday and won tickets 240 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.480 to a movie. And I said, well, you know, are 241 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.759 you doing anything? I'll pick you up and we'll get 242 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:18.679 the movie. Passes and we'll go together. That sounds great. 243 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.519 So she gives me her address and I knocked on 244 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.240 the door of her apartment and this really ugly woman 245 00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:28.679 answered the door, and I thought, oh my god, please 246 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:32.159 don't be her, please be her roommate. No, it was her, 247 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:36.399 and we hooked up later that night. But the funny 248 00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.879 thing was we dated for quite a while, like six 249 00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.000 months or so, when she was so sweet. Yeah, she 250 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:41.600 was so sweet. 251 00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:44.919 She's sweet because she's ugo, she's got to be sweet. 252 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:47.559 You know, ugly people can't be a bitch. 253 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:49.840 I mean, I've known some beautiful people that were all 254 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:50.639 so very sweet. 255 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.679 Oh yeah, beautiful. But I've known any. 256 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:57.039 Ugly people that were a bitch. You have no, I'm thinking, 257 00:11:57.039 --> 00:11:58.879 have I known any ugly people that were a bitch? 258 00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:02.080 I don't. I don't do you looking at them right now? 259 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.399 That's a good one. 260 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.759 Okay, all right, thank you, so thank you not saying 261 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:16.200 your name. Let's grab another one. This is really good 262 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.639 and I want to do this on the radio. But 263 00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.600 this is from somebody who said they work in the 264 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.000 veterinary field, and it's a question we get often about 265 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:29.799 when should I let my dog or cat? Finally, go, 266 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.279 and they said, when is the toughest decision? We get 267 00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:37.519 it all the time. As Jenny said, you know Josie best, 268 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.080 but she will have her own way of telling you 269 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:41.639 when it's time. Remember to be kind to Josie and 270 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.919 make the best choice for her. And they attach something 271 00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:46.639 that I'm going to put on the website, and I 272 00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:48.240 really want to put this up right away because when 273 00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:51.320 people start hearing the Minnesota Goodbye by midday today, they're 274 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:52.559 going to want to go look. And I wanted to 275 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.639 be there. So it's a quality of life scale. Let 276 00:12:55.639 --> 00:12:58.200 me give you a couple of example questions. So you 277 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.000 give a zero if you agree with the statement if 278 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.519 describes your pet, one if it's not quite your pet, 279 00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.600 but it's close, and two if it does not describe 280 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:11.320 your pet at all. Then you add up your points 281 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:13.720 in the higher your points, the more your dog is 282 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.759 towards the end, at the end of their life. 283 00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.080 Okay. 284 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:21.480 So for example, if their appetite has stayed the same, okay, Well, 285 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.600 has your dog's appetite stay the same with Josie, I 286 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:27.639 would give her a one? Okay, I'll keep track of you. 287 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.279 Drinking has stayed the same. I totally disagree. I would 288 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:35.639 give her a two because she drinks water all the time, 289 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.720 all the time. Normal urination habits, well, that's kind of 290 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.840 hard to say, but no, she can't. She doesn't pee 291 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.080 regularly outside. We have to put a diaper on her 292 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.840 all the time. So I would give a two on 293 00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.159 that one. Normal bowel movement habits, I would also say 294 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.799 they're semi normal, so I'd give her a one on 295 00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.919 that one. And ability to walk has stayed the same, Yeah, 296 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.399 pretty much has yea. You know, she did have trouble 297 00:14:01.399 --> 00:14:03.519 getting up stairs the other day. But so you there's 298 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.480 a bunch more and you add them up, and then 299 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.279 there's this scale. For example, if it's low, it says 300 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.720 quality of life is fine, no medical intervention is required. 301 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:15.000 If it's a little higher, it's quality of life is questionable. 302 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.480 Your pet could certainly benefit from veterinary oversight. And if 303 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:21.879 it's higher, quality of life is a debit of concern 304 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:25.200 and changes will be more severe and progressive in the 305 00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:29.360 near future. See your vet. And it is a really 306 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:31.840 I mean, instead of just going by gut or feel 307 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.440 or whatever you think, it is a chart that will 308 00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.399 help you kind of sort it out. That's nice for 309 00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.080 nice life numbers say that again, that's. 310 00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:41.399 Really nice for people who like numbers and things to 311 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.399 help them decide. 312 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:44.919 Yeah, can I send it to you, Jenny or Vant 313 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.639 to put up online? 314 00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:46.600 Why don't you send it to Van? 315 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:48.639 Oh, send it to vone. I'll text and then text 316 00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:49.919 him and let him know to put that up and 317 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.600 we'll get that up there. Hopefully it'll be up there 318 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:54.200 by the time you hear the podcast. And thank you 319 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.600 very much, Amanda, so helpful. 320 00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:58.639 And just to clarify it to be on Dave ryanshow 321 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.159 dot com like as a blog. 322 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.759 Yes, And the reason is because my Josie is just 323 00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.960 kind of I just held her last night and I 324 00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.639 just scratched her over and over and over, and Susan 325 00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:10.360 took a bunch of pictures and it's just I mean, 326 00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:15.440 I just love that girl. Okay, here is one from Melissa, 327 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.799 another longtime listener, and I've never heard you mentioned Melissa 328 00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.039 as part of your body count, Dave, since we share 329 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:24.879 the same name, that is my choice to hear more Melissa. 330 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:29.639 There were I think two of them, and really nothing 331 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.840 interesting about either of them. Just both very sweet, just 332 00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.759 nothing nothing. I mean. I'm sorry, Melissa, I'm the happy thing. 333 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:41.320 Not everybody that I hooked up with was crazy. As 334 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.399 a matter of fact, those Melissa's probably thought I was 335 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.000 the crazy one. Yeah, oh, I will give you one Melissa. 336 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.159 The first one did want to have a threesome with 337 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.600 a girl named Surprise Debbie, but Debbie was not into it. 338 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:54.960 Gosh, you can tell that you were around and hoping 339 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.679 in the eighties with all these debbies that you were getting. 340 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.279 With all these lazy names. Nobody under the age of 341 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:04.840 eighty four now that's named Debbie. There's no young name 342 00:16:04.840 --> 00:16:07.320 of young Debbie the age of what eighty four? 343 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.120 I know one Debbie that's party three. 344 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:10.360 I was going to say, how old is she? 345 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:11.200 Thirty three? Abbie? 346 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.039 How old is you're on Debbie? 347 00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:14.000 She's fifty. 348 00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:18.679 Exactly what I'm talking about. That for a Debbie for sure. 349 00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:26.000 Okay, thank you, Melissa. That was fun. Hearing Melluca Mela 350 00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.320 Luca mentioned on Wednesday's podcast made me laugh because somebody 351 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.240 was talking about laundry detergent and they ordered their laundry 352 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.200 detergent from mel Luca. Well Clark writes in in Alabama. 353 00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:37.240 He said it made me laugh. The writer described it 354 00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:40.679 as an online shopping club it's actually a multi level 355 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:44.519 marketing pyramid where more than ninety nine percent of the 356 00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:52.000 distributors lose money. The statistics from the wh wikipedical Wikipedia 357 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.879 article on the founder Frank vander Slut. Where have I 358 00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:57.360 heard the name Frank Vanderslup vander Slop? 359 00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:58.919 I've heard that name. 360 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:00.639 That sounds like I'm made up name. 361 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:03.000 There's no there's like a document or or something on 362 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.079 a guy named Frank van der Sloot. Seriously, so anyway 363 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:08.440 they're going to say, Clark says, my father in law 364 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.799 sells mel Luca and I've tried many products. For the 365 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:14.799 most part, they're terrible and overpriced. It was considering it. 366 00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.880 Please go into it knowing what the business truly is, 367 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.039 and there's a chance someone will try to recruit you 368 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:23.640 if you buy anything.
