Speaker 1It's been a wild and crazy amazing week. It was so good, this week, let's do banter. Okay, tink, we'll go on to banter.
Speaker 3Yeah, Bell's banter.
Speaker 1All right. So we had, of course, our bath time, then we had to shoot part one of this last minute social media deal we got, and then we had to post part one of the social media deal that we got. And then, on Wednesday, for part two of the three part, we went. We were invited to the Love Sack event, where it was so much fun. They had a contest and the humans had to move this the sactionals into a formation. It was so fun and so we had an appearance there. Then we shot some content there, which, of course, had to be edited and posted the next day, which I think was yesterday. Oh my gosh, the week is flying. So, love Sack, we love you. Thank you for a fun partnership and oh, we've got a lot of fun things in the works, so everybody's going to just have to stay tuned, I know.
Speaker 3They're going to have to stay tuned. I know they're going to have to stay tuned.
Speaker 1It's getting wild. Stay tuned everyone.
Speaker 3Every day is just.
Speaker 1A new adventure, that's all I say. A new adventure, and I'm like keep it coming because I hate when it's slow.
Speaker 3I know.
Speaker 1I know you do.
Speaker 3Although I appreciate, though, the downtime a little bit sometimes.
Speaker 1Sometimes it gets boring and I'm like what's happening? I know.
Speaker 3But boring. But that's life, though it comes in waves.
Speaker 1I know Well, we're in our good wave now, so keep it going. Keep it going, waving it up.
Speaker 3OK.
Speaker 1Waving it up. And I have to say shout out, Shout out to all of our New York sports teams. They're on fire. The basketball, the ladies basketball the liberties.
Speaker 3They're probably going to win the whole championship tonight.
Speaker 1Okay, so if they win the whole championship tonight, and the Yankees win, and the Mets are winning right now.
Speaker 3Okay, but the Yankees have to win one more, right.
Speaker 1I think so this would be three if they win tonight. Yeah, they have to win four out of seven, so do the mets have to win four out of seven? But wouldn't that be crazy if it everything is new york in the finals, like new york liberties the final basketball. It could be new york yankees versus new york mets yeah, that would be subway series. Series, subway Series, epic, wow. So New York, you're on fire. Keep going, those teams keep going. I don't think that's happened in a long time.
Speaker 3I think it has not happened, since I want to say almost, would it be like 15 years. I don't know there was a Subway Series recently.
Speaker 1Not recently, but Not for the championship. But don't they do it just to do it? I?
Speaker 3think no, but there was one that was a World Series, with them against each other.
Speaker 1Really, who won? The Yankees, I would think.
Speaker 3The Yankees won. Yeah, of course I don't think the Mets have won the World Series ever, and that I don't think the Mets have won the World Series ever.
Speaker 1The man goes the Yankees won Wait. That's how he says it. You ought to know that man?
Speaker 3What's his name? The Yankees won. Wait. First I'm looking at when was the last Subway Series Yankees Mets World.
Speaker 1Series, yeah, world Series.
Speaker 3The last World. When was the last time? Mets and Yankees World Series 2000.
Speaker 1Oh my gosh, 24 years ago. What's been going on?
Speaker 324 years ago. So this would be, if they get it Wow, what do you think?
Speaker 1I think they could do it. I know Liberty's going to win tonight. I know Mets are winning now. They probably already won, because it was already the eighth inning or something and there was like 12 to something. Okay, yankees started and they're winning already. So I am saying all three teams for New York are winning tonight.
Speaker 3Is the name for the guy John Sterling. Who's that? The Yankees guy you said you wanted to know who is the Yankees guy. It says that only until 2024. That's now. Oh, so maybe is he retiring after this.
Speaker 1Oh, maybe.
Speaker 3Wait, is this his voice? It's going to play.
Speaker 2Here's a 1-2 to Glaber Winning run. At second. Two out of the ninth Pitch Swung on and line to right center field. It is a base hit Grounding third Scoring kind of from left half and the Yankees win the ball game.
Speaker 1Is that him?
Speaker 3I don't really know sports but I just know that voice. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, that's so funny.
Speaker 1Anyway, go New York, and I don't know, sorry for everyone who's not in New York yes, lose, you lose. That's how it goes. Go New York, and I don't know Sorry for everyone who's not in New.
Speaker 3York. Yes, no, as you lose. That's how it goes. Go New York.
Speaker 1So I have to say, moving on from banter, today we had to be near a famous Swifty landmark, cornelia Street. Oh my gosh Guys, swifties were like fierce and wild out there, a famous, Swifty landmark, cornelia Street.
Speaker 3Oh my gosh, guys, guys, the Swifties are wild. The Swifties were fierce and wild out there.
Speaker 1I didn't even understand there were thousands of them taking pictures of her. And waiting in line Nicely, politely too.
Speaker 3I might say Waiting in line to get their pic.
Speaker 1Yeah, in front of Taylor's house. Well, apartment, cornelia Street.
Speaker 3Wow.
Speaker 1It was wild, so here's my idea.
Speaker 3Yeah.
Speaker 1I think New York should start a Swifty tour. Oh, I was going to say I think that there is no stop Is there, and they should take all of the group to all of the places she eats and all of her houses, apartments, I mean.
Speaker 3New York City Guide, taylor Swift edition. Taylor Swift New York A walking tour.
Speaker 1No, seriously, there is. There is Someone got my idea first.
Speaker 3Come on, it's a Swifty walking tour, I bet.
Speaker 1I could do it better.
Speaker 3Includes a guide.
Speaker 1A guide of what.
Speaker 3You discover. Take in New York City from a Swifties perspective guided tour. Discover Taylor Swift's New York City homes and her favorite recording studio. See the apartment building that relates to Taylor's favorite TV show. Visit a bakery that she loves and a bookstore where she has previously shopped. Travel through different Taylor eras throughout the neighborhoods. Rude, they took my idea. Rude, Go to the bakery where she has gotten her birthday cake.
Speaker 1Oh well now they could go to all of the restaurants, too, that she's been going to with Harry Face.
Speaker 3The corner store.
Speaker 1Yeah, the corner store looks really good.
Speaker 3We've never gotten there, I think we should get our paws in there.
Speaker 1Yeah, we will we definitely should. Oh, do you know? Some coffee shop wanted to send a DM for us to come there. Okay, we'll go. I told them we'll come if we're in the neighborhood, but our paws are really in demand and very busy. So guys just sit tight. Our paws are just in demand. Yeah, yeah, but I thought that would be a fun Swiftie thing to have. I didn't realize they had it already.
Speaker 3That actually would be a fun thing to just do. I do a little vlog TikTok day of us two just going to different Taylor Swift locations in the city.
Speaker 1So do you know this coffee? It's called Bedford Studio NYC.
Speaker 3I don't know, but you just gave them a shout out on the pod. Oh sorry, no, why are you saying sorry?
Speaker 1Unsponsored Pay up. No, just kidding. Anyway, that's who. They're very popular and they love us. Apparently they think we're funny.
Speaker 3Amazing, amazing.
Speaker 1Yeah, and it looks kind of Swifty-like.
Speaker 3It does.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's a very cool-looking look.
Speaker 3Let me see.
Speaker 1Yeah, very cool-looking.
Speaker 3Ooh yeah, always down for trying new coffee shops, and it's downtown.
Speaker 1So yeah, we'll be there, okay. One day we promise.
Speaker 3Don't know when. Yeah, we'll go check it out at some point.
Queen Taylor Swift Book Buzz
Speaker 1So, wow, can't believe. It's another day, another Friday, and we're here. We're here Rolling along.
Speaker 3We are, you know what else.
Speaker 1Anything else, no more banter.
Speaker 3No more banter Should we go right to the top, but we're going to start with the queen right. Yes, I guess.
Speaker 1Being. I started with the queen, you're going to continue on with the queen.
Speaker 3Well, I was going to just say, say, just yeah, I guess we'll start with the queen Go, queen go. Um. So a lot of announcements this week, a lot, I mean. But let's go, let's just rewind a little bit, because we're talking about the Yankee game.
Speaker 1Okay, let's rewind.
Speaker 3Okay, so the Queen and Harry Face, harry Face Went to the Yankee game.
Speaker 1Yes, but it's kind of old news. It's old news now. Yeah, it's really old news, but this week they showed up.
Speaker 3So then after that, the next day, and she was wearing black and I thought it was going to be, you know, reputation announcement, but no. Then she announced that she is going to be releasing an official Aristor book. Yeah, and also a new vinyl of the Tortured Poets Department. Okay, can I ask? Yes? Who gets these vinyls and what do you do with them? You play them on a vinyl player like the one behind you, Belle.
Speaker 1We never play it I know. So like do people really do that? I Like we listen to streaming stations. Like do people really do that?
Speaker 3I don't know, but I thought Guys, listeners tell me.
Speaker 1Email me, DM me or something. Do you play those vinyl things?
Speaker 3No, they definitely do, because the sound quality apparently is like so much better. I understand. But I've actually never experienced it.
Speaker 1I'm just curious if our fabulous gossip.
Speaker 3pup my fierce fabulous fluffy ears haven't experienced a vinyl.
Speaker 1I'm just curious if our fabulous gossip pup.
Speaker 3My fierce, fabulous fluffy ears haven't experienced a vinyl.
Speaker 1I'm just curious if our listeners have.
Speaker 3Oh, they definitely have. People love it. That's why they sell them.
Speaker 1So you say Also people collect them. So then you're not listening to it, you're collecting it.
Speaker 3Yeah, just like CDs. People still collect CDs, but they don't play them. They just play their Spotify.
Speaker 1I don't think you can play CDs anymore either.
Speaker 3If you have a CD player.
Speaker 1Do you think it still works?
Speaker 3Yes, oh, okay, but a part of this conversation, so she's releasing this book too.
Speaker 1Yeah, I really don't care about that Me either.
Speaker 3I'm not really a book kind of pup me either, and it's bigger than me, but the the big thing from it which has made headlines is that taylor swift is bypassing book publishers for the new book she is self-publishing.
Speaker 1Yeah, just like she did her concert. She's very smart.
Speaker 3Just like you mean the concert on TV. She sold it without a studio.
Speaker 1Exactly.
Speaker 3Girly, she's queen, she's queen in control.
Speaker 1She is on top of the world. Sorry, I don't really care about your book.
Speaker 3She's self-publishing under her new Taylor Swift Publications.
Speaker 1Oh, she's got a whole book brand.
Speaker 3She can keep more of the revenue than typical celebrity memoir deals, which can reap millions for publishers through advances and royalties on sales.
Speaker 1Very true.
Speaker 3Self-published authors are also able to control the creative content of their books and release them sooner, although they give up access to printing presses, distributors, the media and staff who can promote the book. And um all that.
Speaker 1But I think she can just promote it herself. Yeah, I think so too, and she has her own. Pr team. So uh, she's not missing anything.
Speaker 3Yep.
Speaker 1She's smart.
Speaker 3But I thought that was really really interesting.
Speaker 1Yeah, but I thought that was really, really interesting. Yeah, maybe she'll publish a book about us. Taylor, can we join your publishing can?
Speaker 3we join the publishing house. Yeah, yes, and then fast forward to this weekend. The Arras tour kicks off tonight. Right now, as we're speaking, it's going on, it's happening now. I would like go on TikTok right now and try to see if it's playing.
Speaker 1It's really happening now. No, I know it is, but like and you know who's there jason, kylie and the kids that was my story.
Speaker 3Oh sorry, it's okay, go ahead oh, mama, swift yes, yeah, everybody, everyone's there, except for travis well, because hairy face has to play once in a while like I don't get this guy has more time off, more days off, does the guy?
Speaker 1rehearse, not rehearse practice. What Like I don't get. This. Guy has more time off, more days off. Does a guy rehearse, not rehearse Practice? What is?
Speaker 3that I don't know. It's very strange.
Speaker 1You're a professional sports player and you're out having fun in the city every day, and you don't even play in the city, I know Whatever, yeah. So Mama Kels is there. So Mama Kelsey's there, jason, kylie and the two little girls.
Speaker 3But you know where they spotted her on Thursday At the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, florida, mama Kelsey.
Speaker 1Oh, did they stay there because the concert isn't the concert at the Hard Rock? No, it's in.
Speaker 3Miami? Yeah, oh, I don't know where no it's at the hard rock. No, it's in miami yeah but oh, I don't know where. No, it's at the football stadium, like where the dolphins oh, I don't know, I wonder or is it a no, I don't.
Speaker 1Now, I'm confused I am too, but she was excited to be back there apparently I, I don't know, but I don't think the show's at the Hollywood Florida.
Speaker 3No, then it would be in Hollywood Florida.
Speaker 1It's not Hollywood Florida, it's in Miami.
Speaker 3Yes, but she was seen at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood, florida.
Speaker 1It is at the Hard Rock Stadium.
Speaker 3Oh, so it's the Hard Rock Stadium in Hollywood.
Speaker 1Miami Gardens, florida, I knew. See I might be younger, but I'm kind of wiser come on.
Speaker 3Okay, I'm actually confused. I thought it was at miami. Like where is that? Where the dolphins miami florida.
Speaker 1It's called the hard rock stadium, so it kind of makes sense. Did they put them all up at the hard rock hotel or something?
Speaker 3Probably yeah. Okay, yeah, my mistake.
Speaker 1Yeah, and she's there today, tomorrow and Sunday and then she goes to New Orleans.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, okay, yeah, oh wait, but the Hard Rock Hotel and Cas casino is not where the stadium is okay, no, now that makes sense. It's different stadium okay, the hard rock stadium is not where the hard rock is in hollywood. It's separate, but but.
Speaker 1But they're all just in the hard rock family yeah, and they probably gave them like the whole roof suite or something to stay in probably because jason and kylie and everyone are there. Uh-huh, yeah, oh yeah, I'm a yawner. Yeah, sorry, well, it's for friday night, so okay, so they're there tonight.
Speaker 3It's going on right now, should we? I'm gonna see if there's any lives going on now of the tour.
Speaker 1I know it's going to be so good Apparently everybody's.
Speaker 3Is there new stuff you think you know?
Speaker 1the Swifty Nutties are making up stories saying she's doing secret surprises tonight.
Speaker 3Well, I'm assuming that there has to be something new.
Speaker 1Well, there's always something new. As far as her song, like her surprise song- yeah, there's something going on.
Speaker 3Let's see, she's up to All Too Well.
Speaker 1Oh, wow.

Speaker 1Is it live? You got a live feed. How did they allow that?
Speaker 3Yeah, she's up to all too well. Do we think that this is a Look here you?
Speaker 1go.
Speaker 3Oh wow, Do we think that this tour is going to have anything different.
Speaker 1You mean costumes. I bet she's changed the costumes. She does that like she blinks and she has new costumes on. It's the craziest thing ever.
Speaker 3Yeah, but I'm wondering, like if there's anything new like new songs, new dances.

Speaker 3I tell you.
Speaker 1She's on super vitamins, yeah, and she's not sharing with anyone.
Speaker 3Nope, I don't even think she shares with hairy face um, yes, and then, of course, the news of this week, also kind of the sad news that Liam Payne passed away in Argentina.
Speaker 1What if?
Speaker 3And apparently he was under the influence of potent drugs that caused psychotic attacks and hallucinations when he fell off the balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires. Yeah, I don't know. I just think like rest in peace, Liam. It's terrible, Such awful news. He has a kid.
Speaker 1Seven years old.
Speaker 3It's just terrible.
Speaker 1But apparently there were four different occasions where he tried to get help recently and no one helped him.
Speaker 3Oh, I did not know that. Now tell me about this, see.
Speaker 1Well, I don't know. I just heard that today that he I did not know that. Now tell me about this. See, well, I don't know. I just heard that today that he I don't know whether it's through posts or like texting people, but apparently there were four occasions just prior.
Speaker 3I did read how, like his the girlfriend, like he begged the girlfriend to stay, or something.
Speaker 1Yeah, and she left two days ago.
Speaker 3And she left, but he was like he didn't want her to leave.
Speaker 1Yeah, and he said that being in a boy band just messes up your head totally. I don't know. Yeah, but it's a shame.
Speaker 3It's really terrible.
Speaker 1His poor family.
Speaker 3Yeah, rest in peace Liam. Rest in peace Liam.
Animal Adventures and Rescue Stories
Speaker 1Rest in peace. Terrible Moving on to. We don't want our listeners to be depressed.
Speaker 3No, of course not, but it is. It is reality, the reality of what happened this week. I mean in pop culture, yes, it is. And other than that, honestly, I don't have much to recap of the week. I mean, I'm just saying go Yankees.
Speaker 1Go Liberty, go Yankees, go Mets.
Speaker 3That's what I'm saying, yeah, there was also the Victoria's Secret show, but I don't really think anyone cares. Yeah, like no one cared.
Speaker 1Who cares?
Speaker 3They didn't do it at the right time, I feel.
Speaker 1No, and you know what else? It was down by where I was just on, set down there in Brooklyn, and it's impossible to get there.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's just like, not like I don't even think anyone cares, like I didn't see anything about it really.
Speaker 1I don't understand why you're doing it in October. It's not even like Fashion Week or something.
Speaker 3Very strange, very strange.
Speaker 1Whatever, yeah, that was this week.
Speaker 3And that is it.
Speaker 1That is it. All right, moving on to pop culture, but I have to start with something else.
Speaker 3What Panda culture? Panda culture, yes, okay, this is exciting.
Speaker 1As everybody probably knows, but this kind of falls under pop culture and pup slash panda culture. The giant panda pair has arrived in the National Zoo in DC.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 1Did you all know this? And they're really cute. The National Zoo last three pandas left for China last fall. It wasn't clear when or if DC would ever again be home to giant pandas. But, surprise, in May, officials revealed that China was planning to send a pair of young pandas, and we found out. Their journey began. A special FedEx carrying a pair of three-year-old pandas, lifted off from Chengdu International Airport, landed Tuesday morning in Dulles International Airport, made the short trek to their new home at the National Zoo in northwest DC. Both pandas, the male Bo Li and female King Bao, were born in China. Bao Li has some major DC roots. He's the son of Bao Bao, who was born at the National Zoo in 2013. So here's the thing though they're there. They're there, they're safe, they're eating, they are so cute, but they're not going to be out of quarantine until like January. Whoa, they have to keep them in quarantine to make sure that they're not carrying any parasites or anything that can be spread throughout the zoo.
Speaker 3Or just the zoo, or just the panda, like themselves.
Speaker 1Well, they're already with each other. So if they have anything, it wouldn't be passing it to each other Because they would have it already. So it's kind of like you know. If we went to another country. They say we have to quarantine them, quarantine us for a week or something like that, like to Hawaii or something crazy, but they interact with other animals.
Speaker 3Usually animals are in different enclosures.
Speaker 1No, they're not, they're in quarantine, but with themselves.
Speaker 3No, I know, but then when they're out of quarantine, are they going to go with other animals?
Speaker 1No, they stay by themselves. So then why do?
Speaker 3they have to be. This is what I'm confused about, Because they have to be.
Speaker 1This is what I'm confused about, because they have to, I guess, make sure that they're okay. First they keep them away from everyone. They are setting up a live cam so you can watch them, and then they'll bring them out to their giant area where everybody can see them, kind of like our friend the hippo. Oh, yes, I love him.
Speaker 3Our good old hippo. Oh, yes, I love him.
Speaker 1Our good old hippo With his pink cheeks, he's the cutest so anyway, that's panda culture, ha ha.
Speaker 3I loved it.
Speaker 1Good Moving on.
Speaker 3That's some good culture.
Speaker 1Here we go for some pup culture. Paraglider spots dog on top of the Great Pyramid of Giza. New footage shows how the pup got down. Pyramid of Giza new footage shows how the pup got down Pyramid of Giza, giza, giza, giza, I don't know, giza, wait, how do?
Speaker 2you say it.
Speaker 1G-I-Z-A.
Speaker 3I thought it was Giza.
Speaker 1It could be.
Speaker 3Wait.
Speaker 1A dog that made the incredible journey to the top of the Great Pyramid of Giza has safely returned to Earth. Has safely returned to Earth. As paraglider Alex Lang was flying near the Egyptian landmark, he noticed something particularly odd A dog was walking on the highest point. Oh, did you just say Giza, Tina? Pyramid of Giza.
Speaker 3Giza.
Speaker 1The dog was walking on the highest point, over a 4,000-year-old pyramid.
Speaker 3Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1The video obtained by news, the canine can be seen pacing around the top layer of the oldest of seven wonders in the world. Lang, flying around in a motorized paraglider, can be seen doing a double take at the dog and circling around the pyramid as he tries to get a better look. He was barking at the birds, lang told the news. According to the news, the pyramid in question is the largest of three pyramids in Giza Plateau and was the tallest man-made structure in the world for nearly 4,000 years. They haven't been able to determine whether the dog has an owner or how the pup made its way to the top of the ancient tomb that is 450 feet tall at its peak.
Speaker 1An onlooker captured footage of the dog's descent from the landmark on Tuesday. The clip shows the canine walking its way down the pyramid to the ground. Are you kidding me? A person asks off screen in the video as the light-colored dog hops down the pyramid one step at a time, wagging its tail. By Tuesday's end, the dog had safely returned to the bottom of the Great Pyramid. Look at him up there. How the heck did he get up there first of all, and down, look at him.
Speaker 3Oh my god.
Speaker 1Was he trying to do like the workout of his lifetime or something? I'm glad he's okay and we will probably hear part two of this eventually. Of whose dog is that?
Speaker 3Whose dog is that?
Speaker 1Who you yeah. Next veteran saves injured stray dog he fell in love with on trip to Bosnia. I had total trust in this dog.
Speaker 3Wow, we're really going from the Pyramid of Giza to Bosnia.
Speaker 1Love at first sight Can't take hold of you in unexpected places. For fighter fighter and retired US Army Sergeant Kyle Walker, the feeling overcame him. On a winding road in Bosnia, walker was visiting the country with his girlfriend and spotted a light golden colored dog with the beautiful tail limping on the side of the road. Initially, walker honked at the dog as he passed by to warn the canine not to cross near the highway filled with speeding cars. When I beeped, the look on her face was devastating to me. She looked terrified and she somehow looked directly into my eyes.
Speaker 1After locking eyes with the stray dog, walker turned his rental car around to meet the canine up close. He decided that saving this dog's life was worth the risk of bites or anything else and cautiously approached the poop. Look, he is very cute. She looked at me with her head low and tail wagging. I knew we were going to be okay. I put out my hand. She gave me a lick and stared at me.
Speaker 1After forming a quick bond with the dog, walker gave the pup some water. After forming a quick bond with the dog, walker gave the pup some water. He started thinking about how to get her away from the busy roadside. I had total trust in this dog and I believe she had total trust in me. As we were on the side of a highway with the occasional car passing by. There were prolonged moments of silence as we were both running through what was happening in our heads. So naturally I started picking names and Emily was saying there was no way we could pull this off, crediting the perseverance and development in the National Guard, walker says he decided not to give up on this injured, filthy, dehydrated stray dog.
Speaker 3He wanted to get her back to his home in Fall River Massachusetts.
Speaker 1I felt so bad for her I had to get her in the car. I could see the fleas were everywhere on her. I picked her up, she looked at me, gave me a lick under my chin and I headed back into the town not knowing what to do next. The trio ended up contacting Paws of War for help, based on a recommendation from one of Walker's friends, a fellow Army veteran. Paws of War is a nonprofit devoted to alleviating hardships for veterans and first responders through pets. The organization quickly responded and said we can take care of you. They followed through with that promise by handling the complicated logistics of getting the dog vetted and prepared for a trip overseas. So, needless to say, the dog's name is now Jimmy Jimmy.
Speaker 2Jimmy.
Speaker 1Jimmy. Sorry, jimmy. She's here in USA and happy and healthy and just arrived, aww.
Speaker 3So, jimmy, is going from.
Speaker 1Bosnia to Massachusetts. Wow yeah, isn't that cool. I love that, I love it. So one last story. What a change of scenery. Yeah, that dog is probably like where am I? What a change of scenery. Yeah, that dog is probably like where am I? What is this? Here is my last story. Cruel owner who tied dog to fence in Hurricane Milton evacuation says he did it because he couldn't find anyone to pick the terrier up.
Speaker 1Wait, what A cruel Florida dog owner, who left his pooch tied to a fence in floodwaters on the side of a highway as Hurricane Milton barreled down on the Sunshine State last week, has been caught. Giovanni Aldama Garcia was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated animal cruelty. A third-degree felony Garcia admitted to leaving the canine, a white bull terrier, on Interstate 75 as he raced towards Georgia ahead of the storm. Why couldn't she stay with him in the car? It makes no sense. The 23-year-old told officials he left his dog Jumbo because he couldn't find anyone to pick the dog up. What does that mean?
Speaker 3I don't get it.
Speaker 1Lopez blasted Garcia's action and asked for politicians to help change laws. Hillsborough County we take animal cruelty very seriously. Mm-hmm, take animal cruelty very seriously. Anyway, this guy should be in jail forever because you're escaping and you tie your dog up to be flooded on a highway, like that's insanity. So the happy news is he's in trouble. And that's what counts. And that is the end of my pup culture. What do you think?
Speaker 3Tink, I thought it was pup-tastic.
Speaker 2Pup-tastic.
Speaker 1So there we go. There we go, wrapping it up.
Speaker 3I think we're about to wrap it up. I think so too, because you know it's a Friday night. It's a Friday night.
