• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Riley might fall into this category. I do I have
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: a dog name. I mean technically have two dog names.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Tucker is a dog name and Freedo is also a
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: dog name.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I can see Fredo. I don't know that Tucker is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Tucker's a dog. I mean, there might be lots of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: dogs named Tucker, but I don't hear Tucker and go
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: that's a dog name, like you hear Fido and that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: a dog name. Right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I've actually have a couple of friends that had dogs.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Named Yeah, he did, of course. You know everyone has
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: a dog named Tucker.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Well, some people give real like people names to their dogs.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: You have a well, will Will is not a I've
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: never known someone with a dog name and he's a
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: human name, and he's a human name, and he's a
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: great dog name.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: The first, the first dog that I had I mentioned
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the other day, was willed to me by my grandfather,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and his name was Bob, and he was named the dog.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: He was named Bob because he was named after Odom
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: who at that point in time was the Agricultural Commissioner
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of Louisiana. Nice. So that's why we had Bob the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: cow dog.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: So all of these, what I got is the most
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: popular list of dog names. It made news because Bella
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: made the top of the list. Again, well I know
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: human Bella's and it's been disappointing to these human bellas
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: that the rise of Bella is a dog name has
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: been so prolific because now everyone's got puppies named Bella.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: It's just that I don't know why, but that's an honor,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: it is it though?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It is I think so. I mean dogs, pets in general,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: but I think dogs especially are so connected with humanity,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: right that giving them, you know, a name, Annie is
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: named in honor of a couple of people in my life.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: So that's the reason why we picked that name.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Nine sevente five, sixteen twenty. If you're one of the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: people in the club who shares a name with dogs frequently,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: how do you take that? Is it the ultimate compliment
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: or is it one of those things where like I's
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: had friend of a dog named Tucker and they always
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: had to call me Fredo because it was like it
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: threw them off. Oh, for sure, Tucker human Tucker dog.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I get that way. I mean, my dad's name was Bill,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and my mother in law's name is Bill, and I
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: will and that would throw me off too.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Some other heavy hitters all in the human name category.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: By the way. Top ten is almost all human names.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Lola dog name number ten, Charlie dog name, Lucy dog
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: name Buddy, Buddy. Ain't a lot of buddies walking around
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: these days, No, not many, but there are still a few,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and they have a dog name Milo, dog name Daisy,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: dog name Coco, Max and Luna are the other ones
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: that are on the list.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know anybody named Coco.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Coco is the one that I think.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I know a lot of dogs named Luna. I don't
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: know many people. I know the name exists, but I
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: don't know many people named Luna Fair.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've met a Luna in a long time. Charlie
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: is an unfortunate one.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know any Charlie dogs. I mean, call
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: your dog what you want.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I had a had a summer camp counselor when I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: was a kid, and he had a he had a
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: dog and his dog I'll spell it for you was

  Speaker 4: Aaron text in does anyone reuse their old dog name?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I couldn't do that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: That's hard, man. Yeah, I don't know. I I think
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: it's a one and.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Done now that I'm thinking about it. You know, from
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: all the dogs we've had, we had the very thought
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: I can remember was may See, my mom's first dog.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: So that's Macy's kind of.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: A little bit of a human name, oh very much.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: And then we had Sydney human name.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my brother in law had hit one of his
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: favorite dogs of all time was named Gus. Gus the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: dog that is Captain Augustus mccraide named Gus.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Well, see, my two dogs are London was well she
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: just recently passed London. And then Tank, So I would
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: not say mine are human names, but I.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Met some dudes called Tank.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I got a couple of dudes out there.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: May not be there god given name.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, but but yeah, there you go. Then, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: and the the fall off of just to this, I mean,
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: see I and I keep in mind it's rare for
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: me to name dogs. Have way more cats than dogs.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Cats don't usually get human names. Cats usually get food names.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: I've figured out over the last couple of years the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: rise of naming your kid your cat after some type
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: of snack has been like, did I know a pistachio? Wow?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Now a carrot? I know? Like it just goes on
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: and on.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I've owned two cats in my life. The first one
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: was my first pet, and I named it. I must
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: have been like five, and it was named Patty Pause
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: because there was a children's book that had a kitten
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: in it named Patty Pause. The second cat because Patty
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Pause did not last long. The second cat I got
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was named along the same lines you're talking about, right,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: whiskey whiskey, the whiskey whiskey, the cat Info maniacs.
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: You're on the radio.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: What you got, Hey, I'm calling for Will. It's John
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Clinton about dog named John L. He is the guy,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You're the guy, and I JOHNA described you as a fine,

• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Fretched the truth from time to time?

  Speaker 5: Will, So, I appreciate that.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: So, yes, so confirm you had a dog named Camille.

  Speaker 1: I'm not just dreaming that that's correct, And there is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a little story.

  Speaker 6: I had a hard time coming up with a name.

  Speaker 1: inflation cooled slightly, dipping by one tenth of a percentage
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: point from June to July. It's gone from three point
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: five percent to three point four percent. However, it wasn't
• 16:51

• 16:54
  Speaker 1: like groceries, transportation, or services. Here's TSN's Elizabeth Schultz.
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: This was pretty much in line with expectations. That three
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: point four percent inflation rate is about where analysts thought
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: it would be when you look at kind of across
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: the board prices in the economy, it is it's a
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: good thing that we don't see that number going up.

• 17:33
  Speaker 8: when we're around these schools.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And let's not forget about the school buses.
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: They have their red flashing lights and stop signs that
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: come out.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: When they're loading and unloading.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: And those are not just suggestions you must.

• 17:49
  Speaker 8: pass these school buses while they're loading or unloading, you'll

  Speaker 1: from Argentina bypassed a required federal reinspection.

  Speaker 2: This is totally unacceptable.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: The beef was distributed in Texas and Florida before USDA

  Speaker 4: The swimming is an amazing.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Way to work great low impact, great exercise, cardiovascular, whole body.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Now here's the problem with swimming, and that is finding
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: a place to swim. Now. I recently completed a five
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: year tour of Texas. Loved Houston, Love San Antonio. I

  Speaker 4: get in and and you know you don't have to
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: be like you're just throwing up crazy numbers at first.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: But it is the best workout you can get and
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: the least damaging workout you can get.
• 25:12

• 25:57
  Speaker 4: myself up. Land in there. It's perfect.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, a heated pool is wonderful, though the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: problem is when it's thirty outside and you get out
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: of the pool. Now the wind is blowing from there.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Now they can't do anything about that. It'll just help

• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Lake Tahoe?
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I've been to Reno, I've never been to Lake Time.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: We were supposed to go to Lake Tahoe this past summer.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: That was where initially the Wranglers, We're going to do
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: their national competition Lake t Yeah, but it ended up
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: going to Branson.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: You know it's nice. You gotta be real rich to
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: live in Tahoe. You don't be real rich to live
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: in Reno, No, but you gotta be real rich to
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: live in Tahoe. That's why I'm so happy. They're just
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: getting swarmed by bears this year?
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Are they really?
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: What?
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: This is two stories I want to share with you.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: First off is the fact that yes, Lake Tahoe is
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: just drowning in bears. In fact, they've received one hundred
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: and seventy four barrelated calls this year so far, that's
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: double the same period last year. And they say, as
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: far as what's causing it, well, they're getting better about
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: protecting the black bears. Yeah, they're better protecting Yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: So, now.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: This couple had multiple bears break in within the span
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: of a month. They had one bear break in and
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: then they had a second bear break in like weeks later.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Why aren't they shooting the bears?
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Technically the second bear would be the same bear, because
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: bears are like a creature of habits, so they'll go
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: back to the exact same place.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Oh you think it was the same.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: They are familiar to have patterns, so they'll break.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: In again again, lock and load. I mean, you can
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: shoot a person that breaks into your house, Why can't
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you shoot a bear?
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: So two ways you can deal with these bears. I'll
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: give you the first one. There's a bear service, and
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: I don't know where they found this guy, but he's
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: a thing because a lot of bears will get under
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: the crawl space and they'll live down there. So let
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: be sitting in your house on here.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: That's a really really good sound effect.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Bear down there. So you call this guy, he will
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: crawl under your house and face the bear. I'm not
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: making this up, and he'll blow air horns or whatever
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: tries to scare it out.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I would I would you imagine I would bait a
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: bear in just to hire this guy and watch him?
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Can I film it?
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Exactly?
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: No offense as crazy as that snake guy I watch.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, the state's a wild man is what. I
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: don't know where they found he. Now he lives in Reno.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: He drove in Yeah, that's Arena. That's that's a Reno man.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Second way you can deal with these bears. You can
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: spend seven five hundred dollars to get you a bear mat.
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: Do you know what a bear mat is?
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Is it like an electric.
