0:50 It's time for the Adventures So Fipe Man, I'll cob you four see white I com list ponkas's number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the vipe Man. WHOA, I can't even believe that it is the end of June already, Like, how did that happen? Why is timekeep going faster and faster and faster? But it is positively pipemin segment right here on the Adventures Pipe Man on W four cy Radio. And since it's June, we're gonna talk in the beginning as show with the Pet health Girl about hurricane awareness for your pets, and then after that we're gonna do run a couple commercials for some festivals we're giving away tickets for on the Adventures of Pipemin here that you're gonna want to stay tuned and you could possibly win tickets to one of these two festivals. I'm not saying which one they are yet.

1:52 And then after that we're gonna talk some powerful business strategies with Michael Barberita and building your twenty twenty seven strategic plan in the third quarter, So a hurricane is coming. It's pet health guru, so let's have him hurricane on into the show. M Do Do do? Uh? Oh, what's happening? One? I don't know, streamers doing weird things things. It had it had it on the wrong thing. I just changed it myself. It had it on the wrong thing.

2:36 So sorry people, but you know, even the engineers make mistakes too. How you doing, I'm doing good? How are you not too bad? You know, it's been a kind of a hurricane around here anyway, with that our movement, everything that we went through. Oh yeah, that's always fun. Yeah. The store is pretty much set up and it's new for Matt and everything. So it looks really really good, and we're ready for a hurricane season. Nice? Are we ready for earthquake season though, because apparently that has come too. We don't normally think of her earthquake season in Florida. But there was an earthquake where in Cuba that rocked all the way from Miami up to Tampa. Then there was the one in Venezuela, and then there was one in the Philippines, all major earthquakes.

3:33 You know, California is looking pretty good right about now. They had none For all the people in Florida that say I'd never live in California because they have earthquakes. And I'm somebody I've lived through every disaster there is, and I will take an earthquake over a tornado or hurricane a day of a week. I'll tell you what. Yep, it's you know, it's interesting that you know is always you know, in a battle of itself. Yeah, you know what we should talk about? Okay, I'm putting this out there. You can tell Patty. I think what we should talk about next week because it's just came in my head is fourth of July and your pet and we can discuss that because I see a lot of chatter about that. There's a lot of people on next door that are saying they should eliminate fireworks from Fourth of July. Hate to tell you if fireworks have been part of Fourth of July since the beginning of Fourth of July back in seventeen seventy seven. Okay, And I get it with the pets, and we'll talk about more next week. But I also think, like I don't know Floridians, they're kind of self centered. They always want all the rules to just apply to their life.

4:58 Because no, they say nobody likes the fireworks. I beg to differ. If you go to Flagler on Fourth, which I will be at, there's plenty of thousands of people that do like them. But tell pay, let's talk about that next week. Now, let's talk about something worse, and that's a hurricane. How does your pet react during the hurricane? Let's start there. Well, as you know, many people are aware, our animals have a much higher sense of or degree of sensing when these things are going to happen and react accordingly, you know, during a hurricane, especially here in Florida. Sometimes I'll just let like the horses out of the barn and they know exactly where to go instinctively or they won't be injured and staying out of the way. But for our dogs and cats, it is another challenge shoe, because first off, they're going to be emotionally charged, anxiety ridden.

6:00 Of course. Please does not I know. Anyway, sorry about that, but I haven't gotten a phone call all the way long. And of course you had to be now. But basically, you know, you're because of the anxiety and the stress levels that that we are going through and we are conveying onto our paths, you know, we have to be very mindful that energy as well. We have to have certain supplies of course on hand good you know, clean water, obviously their foods. You know, we feed a lot of raw foods. So of course we have to worry about electricity going out and you know, being able to store that. So and of course you need to have identification on the animal, have a collar or a harness that has an identific identification on it where they can you know, if they do get loose, make sure you got a good leash, you know, a restraint method because they if they go into panic mode, they're gone. And so you know, we kind of look at a lot of different things there. On the food side.

7:14 Of course, I'd never recommend any kind of kibble. There are some freeze dried foods. There are some air dried foods that are all meat that you can you know, easily transport that sort of thing. I mean, we use the biocomplete treats because it is a whole food item. So you know, for that couple of days that week that you might be without a diet, that's fine. Actually, if people ask me all the time about that, it's like, okay, well, if the power goes out, you know, leave your freezer door tight for a couple you can go a couple of days before everything starts to defrost. When it does start to defrost, and you take it out feet as much as you can, let them do a big, major gorgea meal and they'll be good for you know, three or four days after that, because they can go four or five days without eating if they have to. But you know, most pet parents don't want to see that happen.

8:10 No, I did that with my kids. We had a we had a freezer full, we had a fireplace, one of the few fireplaces in Florida, and I was just cooking it up like let's have a big Thanksgiving feast thanking the hurricane. Yeah, and of course you know some of that too. I mean, if we do need to cook, uh lightly cook it because it does extend the shelf life of it. You know, our grills work excellent on their diet as well, so you know, we have an alternate method that way. Of course, you know, you can always have an extra ice chest or something or a portable which would be good to have. So on top of that, it's it's just you know, being able to keep your animal constrained.

8:59 You know, rates are excellent for that, especially if you have to travel. You know, you have to evacuate that sort of thing. You should have a great available not only to transport, but if you're stuck in a hotel room or something like that too. You don't want them escaping out the door when you open the door, you know, and here you are, you know, thirty miles forty miles from home and no identify identifiers on your path and that's not good. So you know, those are those are the basically there. If they are on medication, you know, obviously take all the medication, just like you would with yourself and it's it's just on panic. You know, keep it, you know, keep your energy levels sound and composed, and your dogs won't react. Your dogs and cats won't react, you know, adversely in that effect.

9:48 Nice. It's the same for humans. You know, h I don't really freak out when there's a hurricane, like because what is it accomplished? You know, And if you freak out, your dogs and cats can sense that and they freak out too. Yeah, exactly. That's why I say you have to watch your own energy. Yeah. So, uh, you know, it's just huge common sense. That's basically what it's about. Don't panic, you know. So quite often people will panic click when they're you know, all we've got to get out of here. We gotta you know, we gotta evacuate, and they just open up the door or they just open up the door to see what the hurricane doing. Your dog is, you know, and uh that either.

10:32 Well, and if you do have to chase your animal and try to get them, that's now that's dangerous for both of you. No, no, and they don't know whether you're playing or whether it's serious. They don't can sensualize banking. Oh my god, this is a horrible storm. They just know that there's a lot going on and I need to mind quiet. And you know what, you're. Up and closet it. They're smarter than we are, so. Just do it. Yeah, they have they have instinct. Then they follow their instinct. I think that's the difference with humans. We have instinct too, and a lot of times we ignore it.

11:14 Yes, exactly. So now it's also not a bad idea that you know with your dogs obviously, to we we pad when they're early and to kick it out the middle. This form at least, yeah, you know this is you know, I get. So one. Well, Bill, your internet has been really bad the past a couple of months. But I want to know what you would recommend to Wand for his goldfish or his guppy guppies. Well, now he has guppies.

11:56 Like. If they're in a fish, okay, just leave them there. If you know you can move move it to the floor. That's even better, so that the stand doesn't get knocked over if something breaks or the wind comes through or whatever. Other than that, they're fine. They're already wet, the rains not going to bother them. I always have wondered how fish like in the ocean or inner coast or whatever. What they think of the rain when it happens. Because of what you just said, you're already wet, so like I know, if I'm out there in the ocean, besides lightning, like the rain has no implication on me while I'm in there. Now, if I was sitting on the beach, another story. But while I'm in there, it's like not a big deal. It's only a big deal if you know there's lightning or hurricane.

12:55 I wouldn't suggest humans being out in the ocean for sure. And no paddle borders either. There was like several years ago, not that long, but several a sixty four year old dude that we were evacuated from Singer Island that went out paddle boarding. People don't bring your animals either. Don't go paddle boarding during a hurricane. It's not really a good idea, just saying. And. A push along with a hurricane, it's not just a wind in the rain. You do sometimes feel a lot of thunder and lightning. As well, exactly, and tornadoes, yes, and flying debris. And then you know, if you're in the ocean, I mean, the water gets really bad. That's when people like me are like, oh cool, a hurricane's coming, because that means there's good surfing before and after, but not during. But people do bring their pets out on their paddle boards and on their kayaks, so maybe don't do that too.

13:58 It seems weird, Bill that we would have to say that, but obviously we do because people do dumb stuff sometimes they don't think about, you know, just like the people that sit out during the hurricane in their truck to experience it. Yeah, and of course, you know, you know, we talked a little bit about before the show, but for the fourth of July, it's the same thing. You know, make sure you've got your animals constrained, and you know that sort of thing, the anxiety, the fireworks of cells will cause a great deal of anxiety, so you want to make sure you have control of your animals. We do have different products on the market, of course, treats and that sort of thing that may contain things like CBD right, stress anxiety herbs and that sort of thing, which if you use them properly, can help alleviate a lot of that problem with your animals as well.

14:53 How about are there like ear plugs because I know it's the fireworks that really got to them. You know, lightning really gets them too. We can't cancel lightning, no, So if there's lightning in a hurricane that freaks out your animal just like fireworks would. Is there some kind of ear plug or something that there is a coping mechanism so that it is not harmful to their ears? Not? Really, there's nothing that's functional because of course, when you look at dogs especially, you know, then there's all different shapes and sizes of ears, and that makes it very difficult for anything to be constructed. What are the things?

15:34 Of course, you do have electricity, put on some calming music, some calming tones, you know, get that energy goo pulling in the right direction. Well I was thinking that too. Okay, so what about when fireworks are going off or lightning is happening. What if you're just have your TV or your music on that overpowers that because your pets are. Used to that, Yeah, exactly. I mean you can turn to you know, most of the time, you can turn your stereo up as loud as you want, and they don't even they don't move, So it's not just noise. Think that after a two hundred and fifty years. They would be used to it by.

16:18 Now, but it's only once a year or twice a year, so that's why they're not used to it, but they're not. Sometimes they're not used to it with lightning either. But that's my point. These people that are on next door that are saying we should cancel fireworks, uh, you know, you can't cancel lightning, and that happens a lot more often than fireworks. And I was thinking to myself, tell me what you think if you were that worried about your pet with the fireworks, why not get a pair of headphones that you would give a child, an infant that goes to a concert. Put it over their ears and yeah, they're not going to keep it on, but you hold it on and soothe them and pet them until with Yeah.

17:01 I mean that's possible too. It's just it's it's a lot more work. And that's one of the things you know, we find unfortunately too often is that pet parents aren't always committed to doing the right things at the right time. And I think they should be. Yeah, I think it's a big undertaking to have a pet, and I think it should definitely be something that you know that you are willing to go to the extra mile and not make everybody else do. That's something I have noticed about a lot of pet owners, at least the ones down here, is they always expect everybody else to go above and beyond for their pet. And that's like expecting everybody else to go above and beyond for your kid. You know, you want to call them your kid. Well, I'm the one responsible for how my kid acts in a restaurant, not how the restaurant determines whether you should have kids or not, you know type of thing. So I kind of think of it the same way. I mean, like, especially these people that are saying and fireworks, so you want to ruin the fun for millions of people because you're not willing to take that extra step for something that you decided to have a responsibility for. I've had pets all my life. They're a huge responsibility, Okay, and if you're not prepared for it, just like me. Okay, you remember April. I haven't gotten another dog since April for two reasons. One issue was the easiest, greatest dog,

18:34 So like, how you top that. Number two is that I knew my lifestyle and the way I wanted to live would not be fair to me or a dog in that environment, so I opted out of having a dog. I love dogs. I wish I could have one, but I'm only gonna have one if I'm willing to take all all the responsibility and I have all the dedication for that animal. Yes, especially when we talk about that on all of our shows. You know, even when it comes to food and healthcare and all of that sort of thing, it's like, you know, they push, they push a lot of this stuff off. You know, well, I have to talk to my veterinarian, which doesn't necessarily know what's best for your animal and doesn't know what's best for your lifestyle. We've had a couple of trainers on out on the Pet Health Cafe recently that we talk about the different breed types and that sort of thing. You know, if you want to you know, if you're live in a one bedroom apartment and you're ninety years old, you don't want a Belgian melanow you know, right the walls, you know, So you know, we have to take all that into consideration.

19:44 It's not just about the look of it or that sort of thing. The training has got to be there. You know, if your dog is well trained during you know, during a hurricane, you're not going to be nearly uh as upset and you know, anxiety ridden because you know your dog's gonna follow command, you know, un its leash or it's great whatever it happens to be without one nuts. I can't believe you brought up training because I was thinking about that before you even say it. While you're talking about how many people get pets and then they don't train the pet, and then they get rid of the pet as the pet gets to be adult because they can't handle all the things the pet's doing. It's your fault. It was your responsibility, just like it's your responsibility to parents. Your baby. Babies don't come into the world knowing how to do everything, or how to act or what have you. And puppies not the same thing.

20:33 It is a peeve of mind people that get pets and then get rid of them and then get another one like that. That's even worse the people that get pets over and over again because they turn the pets turn into adults. Oh, that just rubs a nerve. YEP, I understand. I agree. You know some of some of those, you know, little Fluffy puppies can turn into a into a hurricane. Actually, yeah, and even more of a hurricane if you're not dedicated to that animal and doing what needs to be done to groom them to be an adult, responsible, adult pet. We'll call it that. You know so, And you're right. I love that you put the hurricane part in there, because you're right. It's it would be so much easier if you always did did stuff right with your pet, that they would be able to deal with the hurricane much better because you've trained them.

21:42 Absolutely, you know, and of course you know the proper feeding and health that goes along with that. You know. Again, people don't want to make the commitment, you know, and then which a lot of those animals, like the dumped in shelters are because the VET bills are too expensive. Yeah for it. Yeah, you guys think of all different things, and you know, I do give credit to some people that never have a pet, that know that it's just not for them. It was funny I saw I saw one of those postings on next door I as somebody said, I'm trying to remember what they said, and they were like, well, what if it was more of like something like what if you don't have or or want a dog, then why should I have to not do something because you have and want a dog. Yeah, you know, I think people make a conscious choice because they don't want to make that sacrifice, just like I've done. Now, you know, it's like either have a dog or travel the way I do or whatever have Listen. That's one thing I have to give kudos to my brother about UH and so.

23:00 So he has a dog and he wants to travel, but his dog is in the UH Australian labradoodle, and so the only way that dog can get on plane is in the cargo area. And he refuses to put the dog in the cargo area because he doesn't want to put the dog in that kind of circumstance. He would rather the dog, you know, be with him or what have you. And listen, some people would make fun of somebody like that. I give him kudos because he is being a responsible pet owner by putting his pet first and his needs second in that respect.

23:42 Well, not only that they have to put him to sleep during the flight. Yeah, they're not awake in. Any case, Yeah, exactly. So you know he chooses not to fly, you. Know, because you're very stressful for the dog too. Yeah, one hundred percent, you know. And I think it's interesting too, since we're on that note, because I just got off a flight recently where they eliminated any nutting from their menu that you could order, and you couldn't eat anything nuts because somebody on the plane had a nut allergy. Well that's nuts, I know, right, But here's what's nuts is if you have a cat or dog allergy, that doesn't matter. Yeah, that's weird to me that peanuts have more value than animals.

24:33 Oh, animals can make you sneeze, but peanuts can make you stop breathing, so I guess. Well. But for some people though, if they're severely allergic to dogs or cats in that confined environment, they could die because they could have asthma attacks and be asphyxiated just the same. So there you go. But you know, like, if you have a nut allergy, just don't have the nuts. Apparently, if you have a nut hour g if somebody else eats nuts, you die. I don't what. With all these allergies of course, I mean toxicity anyway. So you know, if we eat healthy you won't be analogy, so there won't be an issue exactly.

25:20 I have heard of second hand smoke. I have never heard of second hand peanut allergy. See now you just you just gave me a visual in my head of a dog and cat sitting on the plane smoking. That should be a portrait. Uh. And on that note, and then we're going to go to some ticket giveaways. But on that note, I want to say one thing before the pet health girrel tells us all how we can reach out to them and get some more great advice. But first I want to say that I that do you know who Kelsey Grammar is? Uh? One? Oh my god, he doesn't know anything, does he? Bill? Okay, So there was a show called Cheers and then a show called Fraser, and he was a star in both of those. He was a He's a very huge like not like Jimmy Starr huge, but really huge actor and uh and uh basically uh he Uh. He was on plane one time and I was on plane and I was smoking because he could smoke on the plane, and I didn't know who he was. They bummed a cigarette off me and he even asked, do I know no illo?

26:48 My name's Kelsey. No clue. Then after getting off the plane, I was watching episodes of Cheers. I was like, oh shit, he he bummed us cigarette off of me. That's my fanboy moment. I think a lot of my fanboy moments came from smoking. Because there was a time that Corey Taylor was talking to me after I interviewed his drummer in his Bandstone so Hour and I was just sitting on the curb smoking cigarette. Came over and started talking to me about the weather. So now that I don't smoke anymore, I don't get those moments anymore. Seeing now I'm all bummed out about that. Meanwhile, I do know where I want to go and where I did go for April, and where I would go if I had an AMMO. Now where would that be? Bill?

27:41 That would have to be the my Paleo Pet retail store in Pampano Beach, Florida, where we've got all the food items and good diets and good healthy herbal products, everything for both you and your pet. One of the games that we can honestly make because everything in this store can be used for people and pets, and you know, we don't skimp on the quality because they're pets, Unlike a lot of the big commercial companies out there. Also, we do consultations for animal health and for people health if you want to lead you to more natural life.

28:23 We have a Farm and the Table program now where you can get good quality raised in Florida meats and poultry and fish, and of course then there's also the Pet Health Cafe, which is our podcast live every Thursday night on the whole group of stations. Something happened with YouTube though this week. I don't know what, so we're missing an episode from last week. But I guess they don't like when I talk about some of the stuff I talk about, or some of our guests too. But yeah, I mean, all that stuff is available on YouTube twenty four seven. To hear more and educate yourself. That's what the whole program is about. And we would love for you to come down and see the store.

29:10 And it's amazing. First time I stepped into your store, like twenty years ago, I was like, holy shit, this is like going to an old school, you know, like human butcher in New York, you know, like, oh, that's why I used to call it a delia because it was like going into the New York deli, you know, And it was kind of cool. It was like I was looking like, man, I want to eat this stuff. Yeah, yep. Well that's why we edited the farm the Table because it was we were already doing the good stuff. And you know, as a pet parent, if you're not healthy, you can't help your animal, so we want to make it available. And you know, it was always I was always getting the comments, you know, my dog eats better than I do, And I said, well, well, get a program for that.

30:00 Nice And there's a responsible pet owner feeding their dog or pet cat better than they feed themselves. Well, you are always a wealth of knowledge pet health guru. And hopefully we won't have a hurricane this weekend, but if we do, people might be prepared. Now, thank you for listening to the adventures of Pateman on w for CUI Radio.
