Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: This portion of the Joe show podcast is powered by
- 0:02Speaker 1: Farron Farrah, Tampa accident attorneys. I love country pride.
- 0:07Speaker 2: I love it. And I love thanking, thanking people for
- 0:12Speaker 2: their service.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Me too.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Oh bro. If I can, if I can hit you
- 0:16Speaker 2: with a thank you for your service.
- 0:18Speaker 3: Oh, I'm telling you.
- 0:20Speaker 4: That is why my dad loved coming to visit Tampa
- 0:22Speaker 4: because he would wear his Vietnam veterans hat and like,
- 0:26Speaker 4: I mean, people would just come up to him left
- 0:29Speaker 4: and right.
- 0:29Speaker 3: He was the bell of the ball. He loved Tampa Bay.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Sad he wasn't able to get one more visit.
- 0:36Speaker 1: When you wake up and you get that first sip
- 0:40Speaker 1: of coffee for me, when I have that first sip
- 0:41Speaker 1: of coffee, my body's like, all right, we're ready to roll.
- 0:46Speaker 2: That's the same as thanking someone for their service. Shake
- 0:51Speaker 2: their hand.
- 0:52Speaker 1: No one shakes your hand quite like a serviceman or
- 0:55Speaker 1: a servicewoman.
- 0:56Speaker 2: That's right. They know what to do. God, I love it.
- 1:02Speaker 2: All right.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Well, thank you for your service. Thank you to Katie's
- 1:05Speaker 1: dad for not only serving our country, but then gifting
- 1:09Speaker 1: us with the best. Laying it down prodigiously with your mom.
- 1:14Speaker 3: We don't know where yet. We don't know where yet.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Yes, I know your mom is thinking, thank you so
- 1:21Speaker 1: much for the sweet lovemaking.
- 1:24Speaker 2: Happy Veterans Day.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Yes.
- 1:25Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Now, it has nothing to do with your dad or
- 1:30Speaker 1: anything like that, but I need you to just bear
- 1:33Speaker 1: with me on this conversation.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Okay. Okay?
- 1:37Speaker 1: Because I heard a story from Ashley, and the whole
- 1:41Speaker 1: entire time I'm like.
- 1:42Speaker 2: What the hell? But I thought about you, too.
- 1:47Speaker 1: When we talk about this on the air, I thought,
- 1:49Speaker 1: all right, Katie might struggle through this.
- 1:52Speaker 2: So just be careful.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Now I'm wondering what it was.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Jed, get in here, because I don't think that Jed
- 1:57Speaker 1: heard the whole thing. Yesterday, I mean, Ashley's really seriously
- 2:03Speaker 1: getting these intrusive thoughts of getting a dog.
- 2:08Speaker 5: I am.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I don't think it's a good idea for a bunch
- 2:11Speaker 2: of reasons. And I love puppies. I love dogs. Like,
- 2:14Speaker 2: I love dogs so much.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Oh. Yes.
- 2:17Speaker 2: Okay.
- 2:17Speaker 5: Oh, God.
- 2:18Speaker 3: This is the third time today we've been very nervous, Joe.
- 2:21Speaker 1: Oh.
- 2:24Speaker 3: We were both in here almost crying.
- 2:25Speaker 2: It's been almost every single hour you've done this to Katie.
- 2:27Speaker 3: But we were almost in here crying together.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Ashley and I almost started crying because I was thinking of,
- 2:35Speaker 1: I was thinking, because I told her, I said, hey,
- 2:36Speaker 1: just so you know, the other thing too with getting
- 2:38Speaker 1: like a dog is more than likely you will outlive them.
- 2:44Speaker 1: So you get them as puppies or you rescue them
- 2:47Speaker 1: in moments where they need a home, right? So you
- 2:50Speaker 1: take them in and then you raise them. I started
- 2:54Speaker 1: to think about my dogs because they're older, they're deaf.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Like they, they got a bunch of stuff going on
- 2:59Speaker 1: where it's like, ah, no, like this is, uh, you know,
- 3:02Speaker 1: you don't know how much longer you have with them.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I'm like, Ashley, that, that, you know, I'm trying to
- 3:07Speaker 1: talk her out of it. That is another reason why
- 3:09Speaker 1: you should not have it. And she's like, yeah, you
- 3:10Speaker 1: know what to think about it. Yeah.
- 3:12Speaker 2: That's blah, blah, blah. She's like, you know, with my ex,
- 3:15Speaker 2: I came home and I found her.
- 3:18Speaker 3: My I came home. Well, I was already home.
- 3:20Speaker 5: I was just in the living room and her cat
- 3:23Speaker 5: usually runs around and I end up finding her cat
- 3:26Speaker 5: dead underneath the kitchen table.
- 3:28Speaker 3: And I ran to the bedroom. I called her.
- 3:30Speaker 5: I was like, hey, you need to come home. And
- 3:32Speaker 5: that was trauma. Mind you, I'd only been with her
- 3:34Speaker 5: for like a year and a half. So she had
- 3:37Speaker 5: had this cat for maybe like 10 years. So her
- 3:40Speaker 5: connection obviously was stronger than mine. But the fact that
- 3:42Speaker 5: I'm bawling my eyes out on an animal that I
- 3:44Speaker 5: just met, I was like, oh my goodness. I don't
- 3:46Speaker 5: know if I'm emotionally prepared.
- 3:48Speaker 2: All right. So she tells me this. It's not funny.
- 3:53Speaker 1: And I start to think, whoa, hold on. What did
- 3:57Speaker 1: she do with the body? Ashley just left. What was
- 4:02Speaker 1: I supposed to do? She locked herself in the room
- 4:05Speaker 1: and just.
- 4:06Speaker 3: I did not know what to do. So I called her.
- 4:09Speaker 3: She came home.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but you left the cat.
- 4:11Speaker 3: Where was I supposed to take the cat?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Out of respect, you should have picked up the cat.
- 4:15Speaker 3: And put him where?
- 4:15Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 4:16Speaker 3: I left him underneath the table.
- 4:18Speaker 2: You found him and you just went, you know what?
- 4:20Speaker 3: See, Katie said don't touch it.
- 4:21Speaker 2: No, I think Katie should have.
- 4:22Speaker 5: She came home. My ex came home. She ends up
- 4:25Speaker 5: grabbing the cat. take it to the vet, do whatever
- 4:27Speaker 5: it has to do, and then, yeah, very emotional.
- 4:31Speaker 2: You should have put it on the bed.
- 4:32Speaker 1: No!
- 4:33Speaker 2: Maybe on the table.
- 4:35Speaker 3: I did touch it to make sure, because I was like,
- 4:37Speaker 3: cats do like to just lay out.
- 4:38Speaker 2: You just poked it?
- 4:38Speaker 3: And I just was like, Cairo, Cairo.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Poked a dog? Or a cat?
- 4:43Speaker 3: Cat, cat, cat, yeah. That was the first.
- 4:47Speaker 2: I don't know why, but I'm like, she should have
- 4:49Speaker 2: picked up the cat.
- 4:50Speaker 1: No!
- 4:51Speaker 3: I wouldn't have.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Am I stupid to think that it's big enough to
- 4:54Speaker 2: put in a shoebox?
- 4:56Speaker 3: It probably, yeah. I would have put it in small enough.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Put it in like a Nike box.
- 5:02Speaker 5: Take one of your sneakers out. One, it wasn't my animal. Two,
- 5:06Speaker 5: I had just met this cat. I was traumatized because, again,
- 5:09Speaker 5: I've never gone through a loss of an animal. My
- 5:11Speaker 5: mom just lied and said she gave her dog away.
- 5:12Speaker 2: How long were you dating your ex when this happened?
- 5:14Speaker 3: A year and a half.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You just met the cat. It's been a year and
- 5:18Speaker 2: a half.
- 5:18Speaker 3: I was dating her, but I didn't meet her cat
- 5:21Speaker 3: at the same time.
- 5:22Speaker 2: You ever read the book Cat in the Hat? You
- 5:24Speaker 2: ever watch the movie? They only knew the cat for
- 5:26Speaker 2: like three days.
- 5:27Speaker 1: You know how close they got to that cat.
- 5:29Speaker 5: I know, but again, I would rather her come and
- 5:32Speaker 5: do what she wants with her animal. What if I
- 5:34Speaker 5: would have placed it somewhere and she's like, why did
- 5:35Speaker 5: you touch it?
- 5:36Speaker 4: And maybe she wanted to see where Cairo's final resting
- 5:41Speaker 4: place was.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Cats, when they go to pass away, they hide. Yeah,
- 5:44Speaker 3: they hide.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Some hiding spot. That is right.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Under the table. I know.
- 5:50Speaker 5: There was a cloth on the table, so I'm just
- 5:51Speaker 5: looking for him. I'm like, oh, he's not moving. Then
- 5:53Speaker 5: I get down, and I'm like, Cairo, Cairo. And I
- 5:55Speaker 5: was like, oh, God, he's dead. And I called her,
- 5:57Speaker 5: and I was like, hey, you need to come home
- 5:59Speaker 5: right now.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Any part of you think about, like, leaving so that
- 6:01Speaker 1: you don't, like, you know. What?
- 6:03Speaker 2: Well, there'd be a part of me that's like.
- 6:06Speaker 3: You were there when it happened? What'd you do to
- 6:07Speaker 3: my cat?
- 6:08Speaker 2: Yeah, what'd you do to my cat?
- 6:10Speaker 3: No, no, she never blamed me.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Well, she did it in her head.
- 6:14Speaker 3: But Joe had me thinking. I was like, oh, my goodness.
- 6:16Speaker 5: I have to mentally prepare for, yeah, losing an animal
- 6:19Speaker 5: because they don't live longer than you do. And you
- 6:21Speaker 5: never know what they may eat or get into.
- 6:24Speaker 2: She was devastated when her dogs passed.
- 6:26Speaker 3: You took some time off, didn't you?
- 6:28Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Because, I mean, I moved to Florida with them. And
- 6:31Speaker 4: I moved here alone. I didn't know a single person.
- 6:33Speaker 4: It was literally me and my two chihuahuas against the
- 6:35Speaker 4: world at that point.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
- 6:37Speaker 4: And you do have to start emotionally preparing, but even
- 6:40Speaker 4: if you've been emotionally preparing for a long time, you're
- 6:42Speaker 4: still never ready. But, yeah, I think you made the
- 6:45Speaker 4: right call.
- 6:46Speaker 3: Don't touch it. Don't touch it. Yeah. Jed, were you emotional?
- 6:50Speaker 3: Did you touch your.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Of course. I was there at the vet when they
- 6:52Speaker 2: put him down.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Oh, okay.
- 6:54Speaker 2: I was sitting right next to my dog. It's just
- 6:57Speaker 2: a horrible idea.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 6:58Speaker 2: What, to get a pet? For Ashley to get one.
- 7:00Speaker 2: I think it's horrible for other reasons. Why? You're always
- 7:04Speaker 2: on the move. What are you going to do?
- 7:06Speaker 3: It's going to be tight. He can come with me.
- 7:08Speaker 3: And Katie loves dogs. That's true. And I can babysit.
- 7:10Speaker 1: There's nothing worse than someone who pawns their dogs off.
- 7:14Speaker 3: Listen, it's only two days and I'll pay her good money.
- 7:17Speaker 2: Oh, you'll pay me?
- 7:18Speaker 3: Yeah, bottles of wine.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:21Speaker 3: Maybe in the pinot.
- 7:23Speaker 2: She say that she will, but she won't. She'll get
- 7:25Speaker 2: you a charted easy.
- 7:25Speaker 3: I definitely think Ashley should get a dog. I think
- 7:27Speaker 3: she would be an amazing dog mom. I think so too.
- 7:28Speaker 5: Like I said, I was in Nashville with Nashville's dogs,
- 7:30Speaker 5: a woman I'm dating, and I took her dog on
- 7:32Speaker 5: a walk.
- 7:32Speaker 3: I was like, I could get used to this.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Yeah. Don't visit her and cosplay as an owner in
- 7:37Speaker 1: that one.
- 7:38Speaker 5: I do want to start a petition to get those
- 7:40Speaker 5: little green pickup bags.
- 7:42Speaker 3: They need to be thicker.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Because I don't want to feel how warm the poop is.
- 7:45Speaker 5: I don't like how you can actually feel the.
- 7:46Speaker 3: Warmth through the bag. And easier to open. So you
- 7:49Speaker 3: don't have to be like on your fingers to get
- 7:51Speaker 3: it to open.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Yeah. You got to get them wet.
- 7:57Speaker 2: And to think Ashley a few days ago wanted a bunny.
- 8:00Speaker 3: I want both.
- 8:01Speaker 2: The life expectancy of bunnies is less than dogs.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I know.
- 8:04Speaker 3: That's why maybe I should get the bunny first. Start small.
- 8:07Speaker 3: I did have a hamster, though, so I do know.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Mike? Yeah, Mike died.
- 8:12Speaker 3: His name is Mike. Yeah, and my other dog, Tyler,
- 8:14Speaker 3: he was a Yorkie.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Start with the fish. Way too personal.
- 8:18Speaker 3: But he died and I put him down the, oh,
- 8:20Speaker 3: this is bad.
- 8:22Speaker 5: I put him down the sink and he came up
- 8:24Speaker 5: the toilet.
- 8:25Speaker 2: All right.
