  - Welcome to Pop Culture Junkie podcast.
• 0:07
  I'm Shuana, and I'm Olivia.
• 0:10
  - This week we are talking about
• 0:12
  some of the very best characters Pop Culture has to offer.
• 0:16
  The goodest boys, the bestest girls,
• 0:18
  the funny, furry, extra chonky,
• 0:21
  the pets in pop culture.
• 0:24
  I can't believe we've talked about
• 0:25
  Pop Culture pets before.
• 0:26
  I was kind of surprised.
• 0:28
  - Yeah, I feel like we've had some honorary mentions
• 0:31
  just with things happening within Pop Culture
• 0:34
  where a pet is involved.
• 0:36
  I think the biggest mention of pets that we've had
• 0:40
  is truly does this dog die,
• 0:43
  which is does this dog die.com?
• 0:46
  - It does, it does. - Shauna should have come.
• 0:47
  - Yeah, there you go.
• 0:48
  Yeah, and Shauna taught me about this
• 0:50
  because she is infamous for spoiling a movie.
• 0:53
  And sometimes she sees a pet just to know does the dog die?
• 0:57
  They have expanded their offerings into cats,
• 1:00
  all animals, right? - Or horses,
• 1:02
  like does a baby get hurt, which like whatever.
• 1:06
  (laughing)
• 1:08
  - Fucking kids, fucking kids.
• 1:10
  There's all sorts of animal triggers,
• 1:12
  but honestly, I really only care about the dogs.
• 1:15
  Now that I wanna see any other animals die,
• 1:18
  but like I'll get over it.
• 1:20
  I wouldn't watch John Wittbury.
• 1:22
  - Bye. - Bye.
• 1:23
  - Right? - Bye.
• 1:25
  - Oruses, bye.
• 1:26
  - You can't watch the Lord of the Rings if you're not okay
• 1:29
  with horses dying.
• 1:30
  So yeah, just the dog die.com.
• 1:33
  I think I mentioned that in the first episode
• 1:35
  of the podcast, like ever.
• 1:37
  (laughing)
• 1:39
  - Well, you're their biggest fan, their most avid user.
• 1:42
  - I think so, they should sponsor us, honestly.
• 1:45
  - Yeah. - Yeah.
• 1:46
  - We'll circle back on that.
• 1:47
  - Circle back on the sponsor. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:50
  - Right that time, right that time.
• 1:51
  - Right that time, right that time.
• 1:52
  - Producer, right that time.
• 1:53
  (laughing)
• 1:54
  - So, what do you feel makes?
• 1:57
  Okay, I should tell the viewers.
• 1:59
  I think the viewers, the listeners.
• 2:01
  I guess some people are viewing us.
• 2:03
  Hi, Patreon.
• 2:04
  - And YouTube.
• 2:07
  - And YouTube, hey.
• 2:08
  Do you like talking animals?
• 2:13
  Okay, wait, let me circle back.
• 2:14
  This is the thing I was gonna tell the listeners.
• 2:17
  We're gonna be talking about fictional pop culture pets
• 2:20
  and then some real pop culture pets.
• 2:21
  So, I'll go back and forth a little bit.
• 2:24
  Speaking of fictional pets, do you like talking animals, Olivia?
• 2:28
  - So, when we decided we were gonna do this episode,
• 2:32
  I realized all of my favorite pop culture pets
• 2:36
  are animated animals and they do talk.
• 2:40
  I don't love a, like, I guess they would just be
• 2:44
  like an animatronic pet.
• 2:46
  - Yeah.
• 2:47
  - Who is talking, like I don't want them to be lifelike
• 2:50
  and talking, which is odd because if Ziggy could talk
• 2:54
  to me right now, I would love that.
• 2:56
  - Oh yeah, absolutely.
• 2:57
  I wanna know exactly what Buffy's thinking.
• 2:59
  One of my favorite pets that I will get to
• 3:01
  after our first break is an animatronic talking animal.
• 3:05
  But you'll like this one, I promise.
• 3:08
  Everybody likes this one.
• 3:09
  - Yeah, yeah.
• 3:10
  Like I think of the Lion King,
• 3:13
  where John Oliver is that frickin' toucan.
• 3:16
  - Oh God, and Beyonce is Nala.
• 3:18
  I don't think those are pets though,
• 3:20
  but I feel you, I'm not hey.
• 3:22
  - They could be.
• 3:23
  - They could be.
• 3:24
  - If not pet, why pet size?
• 3:25
  (laughing)
• 3:26
  - If not pet, then why friend shape?
• 3:29
  Why, yeah.
• 3:30
  - Exactly.
• 3:31
  - Exactly.
• 3:32
  - If I die trying to pet something
• 3:34
  that will probably eat me, then that's fine.
• 3:37
  Like, yeah.
• 3:39
  - I've died doing what I love.
• 3:41
  - Yeah, if a dog tears my face off,
• 3:43
  I'm still gonna call it a good boy.
• 3:45
  It's just honkeys.
• 3:46
  It's just honkeys, it's fine.
• 3:49
  It had a need at that moment in time
• 3:51
  and I was happy to fulfill it.
• 3:53
  - It's fine, take what you need from me.
• 3:55
  (laughing)
• 3:57
  - Okay, but what if it was like the pet,
• 3:59
  the lion from...
• 4:01
  - What was that lion movie we watched?
• 4:03
  I can't even remember the name.
• 4:04
  We did a collab, so don't I?
• 4:05
  - Oh my God, the like most violent movie ever made
• 4:08
  or whatever it was called.
• 4:09
  Oh yeah, no, for those.
• 4:11
  - Yes, for.
• 4:13
  - No, I don't want them.
• 4:14
  'Cause they're not friend shaped.
• 4:16
  Lions are not friend shaped.
• 4:17
  - Absolutely not.
• 4:19
  - No.
• 4:20
  - They're not gonna follow a lion though.
• 4:22
  - Yeah, I guess that's true.
• 4:23
  - I don't know, those lions were 19.
• 4:25
  - There are plot holes in this, but you know.
• 4:27
  - Yeah, let's listen.
• 4:29
  - They weren't talking, they weren't talking.
• 4:32
  So maybe that's why.
• 4:34
  - And you and I have never been ones
• 4:36
  for continuity, so.
• 4:38
  (laughing)
• 4:39
  Just here for the vibes always.
• 4:42
  (laughing)
• 4:43
  So some famous pop culture pets that don't talk.
• 4:47
  We have Beethoven.
• 4:49
  Beethoven doesn't talk, but I guess he's real.
• 4:52
  Snoopy doesn't talk.
• 4:54
  - Snoopy doesn't talk, but is animated.
• 4:56
  He's like the plot device there, I guess.
• 5:00
  - Yeah.
• 5:01
  - Snoopy is a quality cartoon pet.
• 5:04
  And then Clifford the big red dog.
• 5:06
  Does he talk?
• 5:07
  I don't remember.
• 5:08
  I don't know.
• 5:10
  I know he's humongous.
• 5:11
  I don't know why he's humongous.
• 5:13
  He's a big boy.
• 5:14
  - He's a big boy.
• 5:15
  - He's a big boy.
• 5:16
  And Snoopy do like kind of talks?
• 5:20
  - Yeah, he's got like a Ruby.
• 5:22
  - Yeah. - Wow.
• 5:23
  - Scoopy do is definitely on my list
• 5:25
  of like favorite animals.
• 5:28
  Mainly because he's like a stoner.
• 5:30
  And he just wants to like hang out
• 5:32
  and eat some sandwiches with his stoner friend.
• 5:36
  - Oh yeah.
• 5:37
  - So he's a much smaller size,
• 5:39
  but when I could smoke weed, I really embraced that.
• 5:42
  I was like, where are you my Scoopy?
• 5:44
  Just enjoying some Scoopy snacks together, man.
• 5:47
  - Absolutely.
• 5:48
  - Yeah.
• 5:49
  - Dude, yeah, Buffy has definitely had,
• 5:52
  she's not like partaken in any like substances with me,
• 5:56
  but she's always like getting the good bits out of it
• 6:00
  because I'll be eating like Taco Bell
• 6:02
  and stuff will fall on the floor.
• 6:03
  I'll be like, you want a fry?
• 6:05
  You know, she's like, oh thank God, mom's drunk again.
• 6:08
  I'm gonna eat half of that.
• 6:09
  - I feel like it. - I feel like I need to say
• 6:12
  that I'm also not getting my dog high, but.
• 6:15
  (laughing)
• 6:16
  - Disclaimer, pop culture junkie does not agree
• 6:18
  with getting your pets high or drunk.
• 6:20
  - When trucking your animals, I'm not drunk at your head.
• 6:24
  - Unless it's like for travel, you know.
• 6:26
  - Been a drunker than a beer later.
• 6:27
  - Been a drunker than a beer later.
• 6:28
  - Or something, yeah.
• 6:29
  - Yeah, there you go.
• 6:30
  - Yeah, there's some iconic pets that we know
• 6:33
  and think about all the time.
• 6:35
  Like we have lassie, we have Beethoven,
• 6:37
  we have Lady in the Tramp.
• 6:40
  There are so many good ones that we see throughout
• 6:42
  and Rinton Tinn from the 1920s.
• 6:46
  So animals have really been through movies, pop culture
• 6:51
  since the beginning of Hollywood almost.
• 6:55
  - Yeah, that's true.
• 6:56
  Oh, Rinton Tinn, that's a nice throwback.
• 7:00
  Do you think that the best pop culture animals are dogs?
• 7:03
  Then I feel like we're mentioning a lot of dogs.
• 7:06
  I think that I gravitate towards dogs,
• 7:10
  but my list is actually not filled with dogs.
• 7:14
  - So maybe.
• 7:15
  - Yeah, so I think that, you know, it depends.
• 7:18
  Like I think there's some memorable other animals
• 7:23
  that exist within pop culture,
• 7:25
  but dogs are so pervasive in, I guess,
• 7:29
  just like American culture.
• 7:30
  - Yeah, that's true.
• 7:32
  Two minor dogs and one cat.
• 7:34
  I will say, I just thought of an iconic pet
• 7:37
  that I should have added to my list of breakdowns,
• 7:40
  Garfield, man.
• 7:41
  What an icon.
• 7:43
  All this guy wants to do is eat lasagna and like sleep.
• 7:47
  Same.
• 7:48
  - Absolutely.
• 7:49
  - Same.
• 7:50
  - He hates Mondays.
• 7:51
  - Yeah, this Monday, I was like the older I get,
• 7:53
  the more I am becoming just Garfield in general.
• 7:57
  Like I really thought about it for a while on Monday.
• 8:01
  - It was a particularly rough Monday.
• 8:03
  - Yeah, I mean Garfield hates Mondays.
• 8:05
  I love the prevalence of those like really fucked up
• 8:09
  like Garfield, minor Levin.
• 8:11
  - I know Levin Garfield.
• 8:12
  - Yeah.
• 8:12
  - Have you seen that?
• 8:13
  - Yes.
• 8:14
  It was like a Garfield cartoon strip
• 8:19
  that was in the New York Times on the morning of
• 8:22
  the September 11th and it's like John,
• 8:24
  that's the guy is pet.
• 8:26
  Oh yeah, John Arbuckle gets a phone call
• 8:29
  and he's like, what have you done, Garfield?
• 8:32
  (laughing)
• 8:34
  It just got to Garfield face like.
• 8:37
  (laughing)
• 8:39
  - I'm not saying Garfield did September 11th,
• 8:44
  but who knows, who knows?
• 8:47
  - Maybe.
• 8:48
  - Where are we to say?
• 8:50
  - Are there any pop culture pets that you don't like?
• 8:54
  There are species of animals that you don't like
• 8:57
  'cause I have one large species of animal
• 8:59
  and if I see them in a movie,
• 9:01
  I'm not gonna watch the movie.
• 9:03
  - Interesting.
• 9:03
  I don't know if I have ones that I don't like.
• 9:07
  I mean, curious George was a little bit of a terrible
• 9:12
  animal to own, but I feel like that might be
• 9:15
  just monkeys in general.
• 9:17
  Oh my gosh, have you seen no?
• 9:19
  - When the monkey riffs everyone the shreds on the movie set.
• 9:23
  - Yeah, or like that.
• 9:24
  - Like what was the sequel to the Tiger King
• 9:28
  with the Tanya lady, with the chimps?
• 9:31
  - Oh yeah.
• 9:33
  - Shoot, I didn't watch it, but I know what you're talking about.
• 9:35
  That is my thing though, I don't like monkeys.
• 9:38
  Like they creep me out, they're violent.
• 9:42
  I just, I don't like them.
• 9:43
  If I see a movie and it's about monkeys,
• 9:45
  no, no.
• 9:48
  - It's called Chimp Crazy.
• 9:49
  - Yeah. - Like no.
• 9:50
  - Those chimps were crazy.
• 9:51
  They were ripping people's ears off.
• 9:53
  They were ripping people to shreds.
• 9:56
  - Yeah, chimps suck.
• 9:57
  - Yeah, and anything that can suck.
• 9:58
  - They suck.
• 9:58
  - With opposable thumbs.
• 9:59
  - No. - Yeah.
• 10:00
  - I don't trust it.
• 10:01
  - Not for me.
• 10:02
  - I don't want that in my home.
• 10:03
  I don't want that near my face,
• 10:05
  for my children or my dog.
• 10:07
  I remember watching Oprah as a kid and there was a lady on there
• 10:11
  who had her like face ripped off by a chimpanzee.
• 10:14
  And it was pretty graphic for being on three o'clock
• 10:19
  daytime television.
• 10:21
  - So stuck with you forever.
• 10:22
  So I did, you know.
• 10:23
  - Fuck them monkeys man.
• 10:25
  - Sometimes those pop culture pets are iconic.
• 10:27
  Not just we love them and we want to own them, you know.
• 10:30
  They're just causing chaos.
• 10:32
  - I never want to see a monkey ever again.
• 10:34
  And that would be too soon.
• 10:36
  (laughing)
• 10:37
  So let's take a quick break and then talk about the pop culture pets
• 10:40
  that we do actually like.
• 10:42
  (dramatic music)
• 10:45

• 11:23
  If I sold my Farts and Charrs,

• 11:42
  - Yeah.
• 11:43
  - Yeah.
• 11:44
  - The economy's nose diving,
• 11:45
  trumps the president.
• 11:46
  - Farting with Char.
• 11:48
  (laughing)
• 11:49
  - Anyway, we'll remind you at the end of the episode
• 11:52
  how to sign up for Patreon so we can keep bringing you
• 11:55
  the best of pop culture.
• 11:57
  So speaking of the best,
• 11:59
  Olivia, what pop culture pets do you wish that you could
• 12:03
  cuddle up waiting, give some script to you?
• 12:06
  - So I don't know if I wanna cuddle with them,
• 12:09
  given everything that has happened recently
• 12:13
  with the iconic killer whale, saga.
• 12:17
  But I wanted to talk about Kiko the Orca.
• 12:20
  - Yeah, don't cuddle with the cuddle with the whale.
• 12:22
  - Yeah, maybe not.
• 12:24
  Maybe the ones that are crashing all the yachts.
• 12:27
  Like we could, we could, you know, swim by each other.
• 12:30
  - Oh, solid, so great.
• 12:31
  - Yeah, solidarity with the women who are attacking the yachts.
• 12:35
  Eat the rich, baby.
• 12:37
  Eat that branch.
• 12:37
  - I think, I think one thing that makes a pop culture pet
• 12:42
  iconic really is the memorability of that pet.
• 12:47
  And when I think of Free Willy and Kiko the Orca,
• 12:52
  not only did they spawn so many kids in the 90s
• 12:57
  in the 2000s wanting to be a marine biologist.
• 13:00
  - Oh my God, why did all of us wanna be marine biologists?
• 13:02
  Do you think it was Free Willy?
• 13:04
  I think it was Free Willy and the other pet that I'm gonna talk about.
• 13:08
  - I don't think that like, Jindzi gets it.
• 13:11
  We all wanted to be marine biologists.
• 13:14
  I took like the marine biology class in high school
• 13:17
  for like college credit.
• 13:19
  Why did I do that?
• 13:20
  - Yeah, it's not a science girl.
• 13:22
  Not a science girl at all.
• 13:24
  And yeah, I was like, I wanna be a marine biologist, no.
• 13:29
  But one of the things about Free Willy the movie
• 13:34
  is not just it made us all wanna be marine biologists.
• 13:37
  It actually started the animal conservation movement
• 13:42
  around killer whales.
• 13:44
  It started a big discussion around
• 13:46
  what the hell we were doing at SeaWorld.
• 13:48
  Oh my God, right.
• 13:49
  - Of course, now blackfish?
• 13:52
  - Yeah, blackfish was that big.
• 13:54
  - Yeah, so it really was kind of like an introductory
• 13:57
  to us really caring about these animals
• 13:59
  and getting down with them.
• 14:01
  And then ultimately what came from blackfish as well.
• 14:04
  And so I think that when I think of an iconic pet,
• 14:08
  it brings awareness to it.
• 14:09
  And it just sticks in memory.
• 14:12
  And so for, you know.
• 14:14
  - That's a good idea. - I got that.
• 14:16
  - Yeah, not for cuddles, but for memory and childhood,
• 14:21
  definitely have Free Willy up there on my iconic pets.
• 14:25
  - I love that.
• 14:26
  I remember watching Free Willy on like a school trip to San Diego.
• 14:31
  And we all took a Greyhound bus and had Free Willy playing
• 14:34
  on like the tiny little TVs in the bus.
• 14:37
  And then at one point we had to pull over
• 14:39
  in like every kid in the bus at Devama.
• 14:41
  It was great.
• 14:42
  (laughing)
• 14:43
  - Just a bunch of barfing tenials.
• 14:45
  - I was from trying to watch the movie on like this tiny
• 14:48
  little screen.
• 14:49
  - Yeah.
• 14:49
  And like it's a six hour ride.
• 14:51
  We're all like car sig.
• 14:53
  (groaning)
• 14:54
  - I have that.
• 14:55
  - Just from the Italian job on a road trip with my friends mom.
• 14:59
  Like, 'cause the cars are going like,
• 15:01
  woo, like swerving.
• 15:03
  So I guess Italian job in Free Willy has some more.
• 15:06
  - Free Willy. - Yeah.
• 15:07
  - Motion of the ocean in the Italian job.
• 15:10
  (laughing)
• 15:12
  - So I teased this a little earlier,
• 15:14
  but my first pet I'm gonna talk about
• 15:16
  is an animatronic talking cat.
• 15:18
  Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
• 15:21
  So we also saw a Salem in chilling adventures of Sabrina,
• 15:26
  but he was just a black cat.
• 15:28
  I'm not saying he wasn't a good boy,
• 15:29
  but he was just a cat, right?
• 15:30
  - He was, like a country little cat
• 15:33
  that we all know and love.
• 15:34
  - Oh my God.
• 15:35
  Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch
• 15:37
  is such a conty icon, right?
• 15:39
  - Yeah. - Okay.
• 15:40
  - So he's a warlock who is sent
• 15:42
  to spend 100 years as a black cat
• 15:44
  as punishment for trying to take over the world.
• 15:47
  He is sarcastic and wise cracking.
• 15:51
  He is voiced by Nick Bake.
• 15:53
  And sometimes it's an actual cat.
• 15:55
  Sometimes there'll be a black cat that runs by her
• 15:57
  that Sabrina will be holding.
• 15:59
  - But for the most part,
• 16:00
  it is this like animatronic puppet cat.
• 16:03
  And it is so funny.
• 16:06
  And it dresses up and it does spells
• 16:09
  and it gets really fat and it causes mischief.
• 16:12
  And it is Sabrina's familiar and best friends.
• 16:17
  - Very queer coded in the 90s, 2000s.
• 16:21
  For like a kid teen show,
• 16:24
  it really did give us kind of like this slightly evil gay
• 16:28
  character who you just love because they're sassy.
• 16:32
  Like most 90s, 2000s.
• 16:34
  - Yeah, like he always had a good comeback to Sabrina.
• 16:37
  As much as you could tell he loved her in the spellments,
• 16:40
  he was always just kind of a little bitch to them.
• 16:44
  But he loved him for it.
• 16:45
  I remember him just fracking me up when I was watching.
• 16:48
  I would watch Sabrina with my mom like every Friday
• 16:51
  on TGIF.
• 16:53
  It came on with boy meets world.
• 16:56
  - So yeah, Salem the cat and animatronic talking animals.
• 16:59
  I wish I had one.
• 17:00
  I wish I had a robot cat right now.
• 17:02
  - Oh, that's mean to my actual cat.
• 17:05
  Toes can hang out with Salem.
• 17:07
  - Yeah, yeah, they would get along.
• 17:08
  - Maybe friends.
• 17:09
  Toes does a big gun too, so.
• 17:11
  (laughing)
• 17:14
  - They're gonna hate us for saying the C words, sorry.
• 17:19
  - Yeah.
• 17:20
  - Toes does a big bitch too.
• 17:22
  - It's with love as the Gen Z would say.
• 17:26
  - We're like blaming it.
• 17:28
  - So my next one, which feels like just a continuation
• 17:35
  of Kiko La Orca, I gotta say flipper.
• 17:38
  I don't know about you.
• 17:40
  - I like that flipper.
• 17:42
  - So much more.
• 17:43
  A, like I love dolphins when I was younger.
• 17:46
  And I still do love dolphins.
• 17:49
  I think I've told the story about how I got to swim
• 17:51
  with wild dolphins when I was in Hawaii
• 17:53
  on the hot cast before.
• 17:55
  - So cool.
• 17:55
  - Yeah.
• 17:56
  - But that was like really something that I always had.
• 17:59
  Like my aunt and I both loved dolphins.
• 18:01
  I actually like when she passed away,
• 18:03
  it took a bunch of like the dolphin stuff
• 18:05
  that I had gotten her and she had gotten me.
• 18:07
  So flipper was actually played by multiple dolphins.
• 18:12
  So it wasn't just one dolphin within it,
• 18:15
  but really like any dolphin that you saw in the 90s
• 18:20
  and 2000s was flipper.
• 18:21
  - Was flipper.
• 18:22
  - Yeah.
• 18:23
  - Any killer whale was Willie.
• 18:25
  - Yeah.
• 18:26
  - Dolphin.
• 18:26
  - It's flipper, but yeah.
• 18:28
  - The funny thing about Kiko La Orca
• 18:30
  is everyone just like called it free, Willie.
• 18:32
  - When you said Kiko, I was like,
• 18:34
  wasn't it's name just Willie?
• 18:36
  Like I don't remember anything about that movie
• 18:38
  except for whales and vomiting.
• 18:39
  So just all that stuck with me, you know?
• 18:43
  - Yeah.
• 18:44
  - Flipper was a series in the 1960s.
• 18:47
  It had like a theme song like,
• 18:49
  ♪ Lifer, Lifer ♪
• 18:52
  Something stupid.
• 18:53
  I don't know.
• 18:54
  A song about dolphins.
• 18:55
  Anyway, my pet is an actual, a real pet,
• 19:01
  but was basically a movie star?
• 19:05
  This pet was a movie star.
• 19:06
  So I'm talking about Gijit the Chihuahua.
• 19:10
  So Gijit is probably best known as the Taco Bell dog,
• 19:15
  Yohiero Taco Bell.
• 19:16
  - Taco Bell.
• 19:17
  - Yes.
• 19:18
  - And you know what?
• 19:19
  That's true.
• 19:20
  Yohiero.
• 19:21
  - Taco Bell all the time.
• 19:23
  Yohsiimbre, Kiyero Taco Bell.
• 19:26
  (laughing)
• 19:28
  That's why Buffy loves it so much, it's under blood.
• 19:31
  - It really is.
• 19:32
  She's just like, you're gonna get wine drunk,
• 19:35
  watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer
• 19:37
  and get Taco Bell again, 'cause I would love that.
• 19:39
  So Gijit was a female Chihuahua
• 19:41
  who became known as the Taco Bell dog.
• 19:43
  She was born in 1994 and was discovered by a talent agency.
• 19:48
  She literally is like a little actress.
• 19:52
  It's like you always have that dream
• 19:53
  when you're a kid,
• 19:54
  that you're gonna walk through the mall
• 19:55
  and someone's gonna stop and be like,
• 19:57
  hey you there, do you wanna be an actor?
• 19:59
  And then that happened to Gijit the Chihuahua.
• 20:02
  So I love that for her.
• 20:03
  - Could you imagine if you were just like holding
• 20:06
  the Chihuahua and you're like, this is my big break
• 20:08
  and then all of a sudden they're like,
• 20:10
  no, not you, your dog.
• 20:11
  - Not you, huh?
• 20:13
  And you're like, shits, dammit.
• 20:15
  That happened to my ex-boyfriend.
• 20:16
  He was stopped in the mall by like a guy who said
• 20:19
  he could be a model and took all these really creepy
• 20:21
  pictures of him and then made him apply a lot of lotion
• 20:25
  and like sent him pictures.
• 20:27
  - Oh my God.
• 20:29
  What the fuck?
• 20:29
  - He thought he was gonna be like a famous model.
• 20:32
  I swear to God and he would be like,
• 20:34
  shonny you just don't get it.
• 20:35
  You're just not model material.
• 20:37
  - Where is he now?
• 20:41
  - Oh God, Chicago.
• 20:43
  Oh God.
• 20:45
  - I don't know where Mr. Lotion is.
• 20:47
  - We got a circle back on the abusey face.
• 20:50
  - I can't believe he never told you that before.
• 20:52
  Oh he sucked, the ex-boyfriend sucked.
• 20:55
  - Okay, well maybe that was why.
• 20:57
  - Yeah, I know, this was why we were together.
• 21:00
  He was like 21 years old and he's like,
• 21:03
  I got discovered at the mall today.
• 21:06
  - Oh he definitely was.
• 21:08
  - Yeah, we can find him on the...
• 21:10
  - On the...
• 21:11
  - Gaporn, not com.
• 21:12
  - The Morn Mub.
• 21:13
  - Yeah.
• 21:14
  - The Morn Mub.
• 21:15
  - Morn Mub.
• 21:16
  - What do you mean anyway?
• 21:19
  Okay, all right, we digress.
• 21:20
  We digress, put the lotion on the scanner
• 21:23
  unless it gets the hose again.
• 21:24
  - Okay.
• 21:25
  - So Gichit was a girl, but she was voiced by Carlos Alaz...
• 21:29
  You can do it, sound it out.
• 21:32
  - Alazra.
• 21:33
  - Alazra key.
• 21:35
  Alazra key.
• 21:36
  Alazra key.
• 21:37
  She was voiced by Carlos Alazra key,
• 21:40
  who gave her that distinctive accent and delivery
• 21:43
  that made her so memorable.
• 21:45
  The ads were extremely popular in the 1990s.
• 21:50
  I had a stuffed Taco Bell dog, like a stuffed animal,
• 21:53
  and I loved that thing.
• 21:55
  She was in so many ads.
• 21:57
  Eventually, people started to think
• 21:58
  that maybe it was a little culturally insensitive.
• 22:01
  - Yeah.
• 22:02
  - And so she got a little, you know, discontinued,
• 22:05
  but never the fear.
• 22:07
  She was also in some Geico commercials,
• 22:11
  and she starred as Bruiser in Legally Blonde
• 22:15
  to Red, White and Blonde.
• 22:18
  - Oh, cute.
• 22:19
  - Yes.
• 22:20
  - What a starlet.
• 22:22
  Literally, she had this wonderful acting career.
• 22:25
  She passed away in 2009 at the age of 15,
• 22:29
  but what a little actress.
• 22:30
  She needs a like Hollywood star, honestly.
• 22:33
  - Yeah, what an icon.
• 22:35
  From Taco Bell, the Legally Blonde.
• 22:37
  - Yeah.
• 22:37
  - She could go from Taco Bell, real bad.
• 22:39
  (laughing)
• 22:40
  - That's from Legally Blonde too.
• 22:43
  Mixed me up, the real bad.
• 22:44
  - Mixed me up, some tacos, real bad.
• 22:47
  - Jennifer Coolidge.
• 22:48
  I almost called her Tanya from the White Lotus.
• 22:50
  - Oh, god.
• 22:51
  - These gays in Taco Bell are trying to kill me.
• 22:54
  - Taco Bell is probably trying to murder you.
• 22:58
  - Oh my god.
• 22:59
  - It's some day it's gonna happen.
• 23:00
  It's gonna happen.
• 23:02
  - Yeah.
• 23:02
  - But you know what, worth it.
• 23:03
  - It's supplying your farts and jars.
• 23:06
  - Okay.
• 23:06
  - It's just like if a dog rips my face off
• 23:08
  or I die from too much Taco Bell.
• 23:10
  - I'm fine.
• 23:11
  - I'm fine.
• 23:12
  I died doing what I loved.
• 23:14
  - No, red rest.
• 23:15
  (laughing)
• 23:17
  - Okay, what is your next one?
• 23:19
  - So this isn't like a real animal.
• 23:22
  So this is just my honorable mention.
• 23:24
  Sorry, I'm gonna say this.
• 23:25
  I'm gonna say it again.
• 23:26
  The country little raptors in Jurassic Park 2.
• 23:31
  So good.
• 23:32
  Just icons, legends.
• 23:35
  - Why are all of the raptors
• 23:36
  in all of the Jurassic Park babies, country?
• 23:39
  Like, I don't know.
• 23:40
  - Yeah, I don't know.
• 23:41
  - I don't know.
• 23:42
  They just said, you know what?
• 23:43
  We're gonna give those characters gays villain arcs.
• 23:46
  And I love it.
• 23:47
  - I love to think that they're, you know,
• 23:50
  yeah, they're hangry, they're gonna be feisty.
• 23:53
  - They have nice claws, like they got the nails.
• 23:56
  - Yeah, they're just got their manicures.
• 23:58
  Speaking of nails, I don't, I haven't worn any in a while.
• 24:01
  I'm like losing who I am.
• 24:03
  - Oh, thank you.
• 24:03
  - We traded.
• 24:04
  We traded.
• 24:05
  - We did.
• 24:06
  - So my last iconic pop culture pet
• 24:09
  is going to have to be a total from the Wizard of Oz.
• 24:14
  I think that there is only, you know, one original
• 24:19
  dog in a movie and truly Toto,
• 24:24
  who's played by a dog named Terry, can take that.
• 24:28
  And of course, you know, we always quote,
• 24:32
  there's no place like home, all of those.
• 24:34
  But I think that Toto really sticks with us
• 24:36
  throughout the years.
• 24:38
  Toto takes the place in our hearts since 1939.
• 24:41
  Ultimately, there is no one who did it better
• 24:45
  and really made me want a Yorkshire Terrier.
• 24:49
  - Oh, they're so cute.
• 24:50
  - But yeah, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto.
• 24:53
  - Like a good boy, a good boy.
• 24:57
  I think that Toto walked so that Gidgett could run.
• 25:01
  - Yeah, you know, really opening the small dog market.
• 25:05
  - Open the door for other small dog actors.
• 25:08
  (laughing)
• 25:09
  - Get their palm in the door.
• 25:10
  - Get the Judy Garland and Toto,
• 25:12
  we're just popping some pills on the set,
• 25:15
  really keeping it going.
• 25:16
  Yeah, they were doing meth.
• 25:18
  - Oh my God.
• 25:19
  - They were doing uppers, they were doing downers,
• 25:21
  they were having a grand old time.
• 25:23
  - Oh my God.
• 25:24
  - Yeah. - Diet pills.
• 25:25
  - My last one that I'm gonna imagine is another good boy.
• 25:29
  Buddy from Air Bud.
• 25:31
  - Icon. - Legend.
• 25:34
  - Yes.
• 25:34
  My first dog growing up was named Bud.
• 25:37
  He was a corgi and I loved him so much.
• 25:40
  - How original.
• 25:42
  - I know, well, we got him from the humane society
• 25:45
  and they were gonna put him to sleep like the next day.
• 25:48
  He was on like the kill list.
• 25:51
  And my family was like, "Absolutely not, we want that dog.
• 25:53
  "We don't care that it's like eight years old.
• 25:56
  "It's this corgi in this flufe tail."
• 26:00
  Like it was in a little stubby tail one.
• 26:02
  It was so cute.
• 26:03
  - I love a corgi but so much.
• 26:05
  - I like talk about sass when they're walking.
• 26:08
  - Oh, he had those cheekies and he wanted to hump everything.
• 26:12
  And me and Heather didn't know that that's what he was trying to do.
• 26:16
  So when we would dance spice girls
• 26:18
  and he would like try to hump our legs.
• 26:19
  - Maybe like he's dancing.
• 26:21
  - Yeah.
• 26:22
  - He's doing the spice girls too.
• 26:25
  - My mom would come and he'd like stop it.
• 26:27
  - Stop it.
• 26:27
  He's just dancing.
• 26:29
  I don't get it.
• 26:30
  - And she wonders why those Barbies ended up
• 26:32
  on top of each other.
• 26:34
  - We just wanted to make them dance like Barb does.
• 26:36
  (laughing)
• 26:39
  - But we tried to rename him but he was eight years old
• 26:43
  and he only came to his original name, which was Barb.
• 26:46
  But AirBod came out in 1997 and it was about a golden retriever
• 26:51
  who I would reread the description for this movie today
• 26:53
  and I didn't remember how depressing it was.
• 26:56
  - Yeah.
• 26:57
  - Yeah, this kid's dad dies.
• 26:58
  He's very sad.
• 26:59
  He moves to a new town.
• 27:01
  Buddy, the dog is escaping from a cruel alcoholic clown
• 27:05
  named Norman who made Buddy just like perform in the circus.
• 27:10
  So now Josh, the sad kid with no dad
• 27:13
  and Buddy who escaped the circus, alcoholics,
• 27:18
  found each other and what do you know, Buddy can play basketball.
• 27:22
  And so he joins Josh's middle school basketball team
• 27:26
  and brings them to the championships.
• 27:28
  And this movie is amazing and heartwarming
• 27:31
  and it makes you want a golden retriever.
• 27:33
  - And I am now gonna rattle off every single sequel
• 27:37
  that has been made to AirBod.
• 27:39
  Are you ready?
• 27:40
  - Okay.
• 27:41
  - Okay.
• 27:42
  - AirBod golden receiver where he learns to play football.
• 27:45
  AirBod World Cup where he learns to play soccer.
• 27:47
  AirBod 7th inning fetch where he learns to play baseball.
• 27:51
  AirBod spikes back where he learns to play volleyball.
• 27:53
  Then he has some kids and then we have AirBod.
• 27:57
  - Then he has some kids.
• 27:58
  Then he has some kids and it's called,
• 28:01
  oh God, right, spin off series.
• 28:03
  Okay, AirBuddies, Snowbuddies, Spacebuddies, SantaBuddies,
• 28:07
  spooky buddies, treasure buddies and super buddies.
• 28:10
  And then they meet Santa and then it's called
• 28:12
  the search for Santa Paws and Santa Paws to the Santa Pubs.
• 28:15
  (gasps)
• 28:17
  I like how they just were like,
• 28:21
  let's do every sport then space, you know?
• 28:24
  - Yeah, I wanna know.
• 28:26
  - Okay, I've watched a little bit of spooky buddies
• 28:29
  and I think they go to a haunted house
• 28:32
  if from what I can recall watching it in toxicated.
• 28:36
  - Spooky buddies.
• 28:38
  - Great name.
• 28:39
  - Great name.
• 28:40
  So AirBud can't talk or buddy can't talk,
• 28:43
  but his puppies, they all can talk.
• 28:47
  - They evolved.
• 28:48
  I mean, what else would you expect from a scientist,
• 28:53
  a mega-athlete dog, you know?
• 28:56
  I feel like those genes evolved to understand human speech.
• 29:01
  Of course, the spawn of AirBud is gonna be able to communicate.
• 29:04
  Like, that thing can do more things than I can do.
• 29:07
  - I feel like super buddies has to be about them
• 29:09
  getting superpowers, right?
• 29:10
  Like, that's exactly what it has to be.
• 29:14
  - I've probably watched it.
• 29:16
  - I don't know, yeah, maybe we'll do a watch party.
• 29:20
  - We're gonna do a AirBuddies watch party.
• 29:24
  - A virtual watch party.
• 29:26
  - And it's time to take a sip.
• 29:29
  - So my childhood dog movie was Balto.
• 29:35
  And I don't know.
• 29:36
  - Oh, I love Balto.
• 29:37
  - Oh my god, I forgot about Balto.
• 29:40
  - You just need to watch that.
• 29:42
  - So good.
• 29:43
  And we had a yellow lab mixed with a red chow.
• 29:48
  And so she was like,
• 29:52
  "Genevieve from Balto."
• 29:53
  So we named her Jenna.
• 29:55
  And so yeah, I definitely had one of the, you know,
• 29:59
  you name a pet from a iconic childhood booby.
• 30:03
  - I think every kid, I've met so many people who have cats
• 30:06
  named Nala.
• 30:07
  Like, when Andrew and I were dating,
• 30:10
  like he would go, we would go visit his parents
• 30:12
  and his like childhood home
• 30:14
  and they still have the cat named Nala.
• 30:16
  - How original.
• 30:17
  - God, losers.
• 30:19
  - Wow.
• 30:20
  - Right.
• 30:22
  - Yeah, so.
• 30:23
  - But yeah, these are, these are some wonderful pets.
• 30:26
  And I would like to cuddle with most of them.
• 30:29
  - Most of them.
• 30:30
  - Most of them besides the way.
• 30:31
  - I would cuddle with the dolphin.
• 30:34
  - It might, I'll cuddle with the dolphin.
• 30:36
  - It might cop a feel, but I was get a sick.
• 30:38
  - Wait.
• 30:39
  - My coat of third base with the dolphin.
• 30:42
  That's the funny thing.
• 30:43
  - Only if you're on LSD.
• 30:45
  - Only if you're on LSD.
• 30:46
  - No, I mean against your will, the dolphin, you know,
• 30:49
  they got plans of their own.
• 30:50
  - You didn't know that about dolphins.
• 30:51
  - Did the dolphin, no, I thought that it was just that guy
• 30:55
  who did all that, or that lady who did all that LSD
• 30:57
  and then like fell in love with a dolphin
• 30:59
  and then they had sex.
• 31:00
  - Oh, or dolphins a little.
• 31:02
  - Yeah, dolphins are like notorious breakfasts.
• 31:04
  - Maybe.
• 31:05
  - Yeah, they, they really go for it.
• 31:08
  - Stop.
• 31:08
  - Yeah, so dolphins, dolphins get very frisky.
• 31:11
  They're too smart for their own good, honestly.
• 31:14
  And so yeah, cuddle with your own risk for sure.
• 31:18
  But she says cry.
• 31:19
  - I mean, I got to swim with wild dolphins
• 31:21
  and none of them touched me.
• 31:23
  So what does that say?
• 31:24
  - Oh my God, this totally reminds me though.
• 31:28
  I went to that donkey like thing
• 31:30
  that you might have seen me do on social media.
• 31:33
  - A kind of donkey thing, baby.
• 31:34
  - A kind of donkey thing, baby.
• 31:36
  - That's what the Andrew kept saying
• 31:37
  'cause he didn't go, he's like,
• 31:38
  have fun at your donkey show tomorrow.
• 31:40
  - Sure.
• 31:41
  - You know, we went to like a, oh God.
• 31:47
  We went to like a donkey like sanctuary in Queen Creek.
• 31:52
  And it was adorable and we got to walk the donkeys around
• 31:55
  and like feed them and pet them.
• 31:57
  And donkeys are fucking cute.
• 31:59
  - They are cute.
• 32:00
  - I want a mini donkey.
• 32:01
  But one of the donkeys kept like looking my boob
• 32:04
  like with its head.
• 32:06
  - Yeah.
• 32:07
  - And I was like, gonna laugh the first time
• 32:09
  and then it did it again.
• 32:10
  And I was like, hey, find me a drink first.
• 32:14
  And the lady's like, oh yeah, he, we had a lady come.
• 32:18
  - You know, six months ago or so.
• 32:20
  We had a lady, six months ago.
• 32:22
  - She might have, she might have,
• 32:25
  she rode that donkey and was like, oh God.
• 32:28
  - God.
• 32:31
  - And the lady said that she had very large breasts
• 32:36
  and that the donkey did it once and everyone laughed.
• 32:38
  So now it's just been trained to just nudge tits with its head.
• 32:43
  - You know.
• 32:47
  - Do as you may have seen.
• 32:48
  - My husband was out of town.
• 32:48
  That was the most action I got.
• 32:50
  - Yeah, I love that.
• 32:51
  - I love that.
• 32:52
  I also immediately every time I think of a donkey,
• 32:55
  I think of Shrek.
• 32:56
  And don't get it.
• 32:58
  - Yeah, I feel like if I was there,
• 33:00
  I would have annoyed the shit out of the people
• 33:02
  that ran that farm.
• 33:04
  - Oh, you would.
• 33:04
  - 'Cause I'd just be like, don't get the whole time.
• 33:07
  We should go, but in our slutty Shrek cosplay.
• 33:11
  - Yeah, that would be more to the Shrek range.
• 33:13
  Just go, don't get it.
• 33:14
  - Lord Farrell caught him.
• 33:15
  - All over this place.
• 33:17
  - Yeah.
• 33:17
  - Yes, just show up.
• 33:19
  Just hammered ready to.
• 33:21
  - Well, find a donkey bell.
• 33:22
  - Yours was the dragon.
• 33:24
  So you would really have one night in Shanna then.
• 33:26
  - Oh, that's true.
• 33:28
  I need to find, I gotta,
• 33:30
  go is the dragon, find that boob don't do.
• 33:32
  - And make it, make it a reality.
• 33:34
  - All of you know.
• 33:35
  - Make it a reality.
• 33:36
  (dramatic music)
• 33:39
  - So we talk about a lot of fictional pets
• 33:44
  or pet actors that went on to lay fictional pets.
• 33:48
  - Let's talk about some real life celebrity pets.
• 33:52
  - I think the most famous real life celebrity pet
• 33:56
  is probably Tinkerbell, Harry Potter, and it's Chihuahua.
• 33:59
  - Yeah.
• 34:00
  - I'm sure there has been midi Tinkerbells
• 34:02
  through the years.
• 34:03
  - Yeah, I think that, like what other real life pet
• 34:08
  has a South Park episode?
• 34:09
  - Literally.
• 34:11
  - Oh my God, doesn't it like shoot itself in the head?
• 34:13
  - Yeah, it's so fun.
• 34:15
  (laughing)
• 34:17
  It's so fun.
• 34:18
  - I remember that so much.
• 34:20
  - I mean, Perseultin, when she was like first becoming famous,
• 34:25
  she was just notoriously hated.
• 34:28
  And so people like hated her dog as an extension.
• 34:32
  And people would always say like,
• 34:33
  she's like adopting all these dogs and losing them.
• 34:37
  And I think she actually, one of them like went missing
• 34:39
  for a while.
• 34:40
  - She's a consultant.
• 34:41
  - Perseultin has had like 15 animals.
• 34:43
  - So when you do that rich and you have that much money,
• 34:45
  you can really afford multiple pets.
• 34:49
  - Oh, for sure.
• 34:49
  She has an Instagram account called Hilton Pets.
• 34:53
  And it says, "Efficial account for Perseultin's fur kids.
• 34:56
  Check out my new pet line on Amazon."
• 34:59
  And she has a ton of dogs.
• 35:01
  She built one of her dogs because of course,
• 35:03
  I follow this page, of course.
• 35:06
  Like a miniature mansion in the backyard
• 35:08
  that looks just like her house, but it's for the dogs.
• 35:11
  - Iconic.
• 35:13
  - That pets a homeowner and I'm barely paying rent.
• 35:17
  - I'm so sorry, Buffy.
• 35:19
  I'm sorry I can't do that for you.
• 35:22
  - And she was offering a $10,000 reward in 2022
• 35:26
  for her puppy Diamond Baby who went missing.
• 35:29
  - No, I don't think was ever found unfortunately.
• 35:33
  But yeah, Tinkerbell.
• 35:35
  - Yeah, and you'll know this better than me.
• 35:38
  I always think of like missing pets.
• 35:41
  I always think of Lady Gaga.
• 35:43
  So, her dog walker.
• 35:46
  Yeah, so she had two French bull dogs.
• 35:48
  Her dog walker was walking the dog and he got robbed
• 35:52
  for the dogs, right?
• 35:54
  - Mm-hmm.
• 35:55
  - They did like ransom or what happened?
• 35:58
  - I think she got the dogs back.
• 36:00
  Oh God, I'm not sure if I do know
• 36:02
  if she got them back or not.
• 36:03
  Lady Gaga.
• 36:05
  - She had dogs.
• 36:06
  - She had like a 10k reward.
• 36:07
  I remember that.
• 36:08
  - Yes, okay.
• 36:09
  - And we were later, okay, they were recovered.
• 36:12
  And was the dog walker in on it?
• 36:17
  - No, he was shot.
• 36:18
  Oh, that's right.
• 36:19
  Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
• 36:21
  He was shot.
• 36:22
  (laughing)
• 36:23
  He was shot.
• 36:24
  And so two of the dogs were stolen.
• 36:26
  Their names were Koji and Gustav.
• 36:28
  She offered a $500,000 reward.
• 36:31
  And they were recovered two days later
• 36:33
  and five people were arrested in connection.
• 36:36
  And then her dog walker who was shot did recover.
• 36:40
  So yes.
• 36:42
  - Okay, yeah, that's crazy.
• 36:44
  I do remember all of that.
• 36:46
  2021.
• 36:47
  - Yeah.
• 36:50
  - The whole lifetime ago.
• 36:52
  (laughing)
• 36:54
  - And speaking of animals that are way richer
• 36:57
  than you and I will ever be,
• 37:00
  we have to have an honorary mention of Taylor Swift
• 37:04
  and her famous cat.
• 37:06
  So Meredith Gray is officially a millionaires.
• 37:10
  - Oh no, she's not my god.
• 37:12
  - Yes, so she has Meredith Gray, Olivia Benson,
• 37:16
  which are Gray's Anatomy and SVU characters.
• 37:20
  - Yes.
• 37:21
  - And then we all know that from Hayley.
• 37:23
  - Yes, and then we have Benjamin Button,
• 37:27
  who was actually in the Me Music video.
• 37:31
  It's the song with Brandon Urie and--
• 37:34
  - Oh, I'm sorry.
• 37:35
  - Yeah, it is annoying a song.
• 37:39
  It's an ear worm as well.
• 37:40
  - Oh yeah.
• 37:41
  - And so they met on the set of--
• 37:46
  - They met the cat in her.
• 37:48
  - Her in the cat.
• 37:49
  - Her in the cat.
• 37:50
  - Yeah, on the set of it.
• 37:51
  And she ended up adopting Benjamin Button.
• 37:54
  And the time magazine cover that she did last year
• 37:59
  is with Benjamin Button.
• 38:01
  - I do have a Meredith Gray is like a very smushed cat face.
• 38:06
  And I can't--
• 38:07
  - Will forever be richer than us forever and always.
• 38:13
  - Different then.
• 38:14
  - Yeah.
• 38:15
  - Also, if Taylor Swift wants to adopt me as one of her cats,
• 38:17
  I will dress up like one of the cats from the cat's musical,
• 38:21
  which Taylor Swift was in.
• 38:23
  - Yes.
• 38:24
  - Just to remove me.
• 38:26
  - I will live in her as I will.
• 38:27
  - Just to remove me.
• 38:28
  - Just to remove me.
• 38:29
  - Just to remove me.
• 38:30
  - I will shit in a box as long as I can be rich.
• 38:31
  - Yeah.
• 38:31
  But Benjamin Button, one of the most pretty cats in the entire world.
• 38:35
  Like, it's a rag doll cat with the most piercing blue eyes.
• 38:39
  And I'm not a cat person, but that's a gorgeous cat.
• 38:43
  I mean, I will, if I were to pet a cat,
• 38:45
  I would go into like anaphylactic shop.
• 38:47
  - You say it's against your will that you're not a cat person.
• 38:50
  - Yes, yes.
• 38:51
  I give cat person energy.
• 38:54
  - You do.
• 38:55
  - But unfortunately.
• 38:56
  - I think that's just my sexual millennial bookworm energy though.
• 38:59
  - Yeah.
• 38:59
  - Yeah, you know.
• 39:01
  - Stuff with a dog who thinks he's a cat.
• 39:04
  - Oh, he's a good kitty.
• 39:06
  - He's got big cat energy.
• 39:08
  - But he does too.
• 39:09
  She can't play fetch.
• 39:10
  Yeah, she just wants to like be pat and cuddle and eat.
• 39:14
  - Sleep.
• 39:15
  - I always say, so Ziggy was a street dog.
• 39:18
  Before I adopted him, they found him on the streets.
• 39:20
  And I say that Ziggy survived the streets
• 39:23
  by hanging with a packet cat who took care of him.
• 39:26
  And that's why he's so cat-like.
• 39:28
  Because this dog will not let you, like he gives cat
• 39:32
  where if you want to pet him, he doesn't want you to pet him.
• 39:35
  If you ignore him, he's all about it.
• 39:38
  And he does a lot of like what I like to call pet drive buys
• 39:42
  where he runs up to you.
• 39:43
  And then when you give him attention, he runs away.
• 39:45
  So.
• 39:46
  - He really does.
• 39:47
  And when you go into a apartment,
• 39:49
  he has to run to the bed for you to pet him.
• 39:51
  - Yeah.
• 39:52
  - You have to come into his space.
• 39:53
  - Yes.
• 39:54
  - Meet him at eye level and you know,
• 39:56
  worship the crown that he walks on.
• 39:58
  And that's very cat-like.
• 39:59
  - I appreciate that.
• 40:00
  And I respect it.
• 40:01
  And I will do that every time I see him.
• 40:03
  Because he deserves it.
• 40:04
  - Because he's the bestest boys.
• 40:06
  - And buffy to buff this girl.
• 40:08
  And he's the bestest boys.
• 40:10
  - Yes.
• 40:11
  - And everybody who's listening,
• 40:12
  your pets are the bestest too.
• 40:13
  Everybody is the bestest.
• 40:15
  - On one note, I do have to say this speaking of,
• 40:19
  and now that I said the thing about Paris Hilton,
• 40:21
  I'm wondering if this is just a throughline
• 40:24
  of people hating women.
• 40:26
  And hating iconic influencer like celebrities
• 40:31
  who have a lot of money and come from family wealth.
• 40:36
  - Oh God, we're talking about a Kardashian.
• 40:38
  - Yeah, Kaya, Jenner is notoriously like,
• 40:42
  I would say she's like the Gen Z Paris Hilton
• 40:46
  in a lot of different ways.
• 40:48
  But she has adopted like 20-ish pets over the course of-
• 40:53
  - Did she ever get to keep it?
• 40:55
  - Yeah, she did.
• 40:56
  - But the Kardashians.
• 40:57
  - I don't get that at all when you're that rich
• 40:59
  and you travel that much.
• 41:00
  Like you adapt to a dog, but they never-
• 41:03
  - You have a cat that you take hers.
• 41:04
  - Yeah, like caretakers.
• 41:06
  But so she, like over the course of like a couple years,
• 41:10
  she have like adopted like eight dogs.
• 41:13
  And then they were never seen again.
• 41:15
  Like not even on Instagram, like not in the show.
• 41:18
  And we're like, okay, is she just like getting puppies
• 41:21
  and then rehoming these things?
• 41:23
  Like are they dying?
• 41:24
  Like what's happening here?
• 41:25
  I bet they're just like prop dogs.
• 41:28
  They're just props for the episodes to look cute
• 41:30
  and for her to hold a puppy.
• 41:31
  I bet, I don't know.
• 41:33
  - Yeah, so she had like these gray hounds for a while.
• 41:35
  Now I think she has like French bulldogs.
• 41:37
  Yeah, I think so.
• 41:38
  - Someone who maybe we put on the,
• 41:41
  do not adopt another animal to this person.
• 41:44
  But you know she's buying them.
• 41:46
  She's not adopting them.
• 41:47
  - So Chloe like adopted a dog or an animal
• 41:50
  and then immediately like give it up.
• 41:52
  I'd ever like for adoption and everybody got really mad at her.
• 41:55
  - I think that was Kim.
• 41:56
  - That was Kim.
• 41:57
  - I don't know, one of them.
• 41:59
  - Yeah, so no one part we don't love that.
• 42:02
  - We don't love that.
• 42:02
  - We can't take care of them.
• 42:03
  Yeah.
• 42:04
  - Yeah.
• 42:05
  - Only.
• 42:06
  - There's little soap box.
• 42:08
  Get your pets spayed and neutered, Bob Barker.
• 42:11
  And only adopt pets if you're gonna keep them for life.
• 42:15
  - Yeah.
• 42:16
  - I think that's fair.
• 42:17
  - Forever friends.
• 42:18
  - Well there are so many pets that we could talk about
• 42:21
  and so many tips to give people about animal adoptions.
• 42:26
  But we'd be neglecting our own for babies.
• 42:29
