00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:15.560
Hey, you live done too the censor? Wow for you you.
2
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.839
I think I'm bad to the bone. Maybe not? I
3
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.760
think pets are bad to the bone? Or is your
4
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:30.160
pet bad to the bone? What about the value of
5
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:35.000
public speaking? Okay, because I love how my computer it's
6
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.759
so advanced. Is this like I wasn't centered because I
7
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.079
was rushing to get into the studio and my computer
8
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.280
just centers me into the video. It's beautiful. Anyway, that's
9
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.479
what that idiocrasy was, if you were wondering why I
10
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:52.119
was moving across the screen. But anyway, Yeah, so today
11
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:55.479
our first parts with the pet health guru. Is your
12
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.799
pet bad to the bone? Let's find out what that's
13
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.719
all about. And then after that one of my favorite subjects,
14
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:03.640
I'm gonna be talking to Michael Barbarita about the value
15
00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:06.439
of public speaking. As you know him, I'm not just
16
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.079
a radio person. I'm not just a podcast person, but
17
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.879
originally I was. I'm a public speaker and I've shared
18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:16.439
the stage with many of the great speakers. And you
19
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:19.159
know what, We're even gonna find out later what Warren
20
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.120
Buffett has to say about public speaking, or the fact
21
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.239
that he thinks it's of value. But for right now
22
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.840
let's bring on Studio Night and the pet health Guru.
23
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:42.239
Do Do do Hello, Welcome, Hello, welcome health. I'm doing good,
24
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:47.959
doing good. I was I almost missed a show because
25
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.519
I was busy hanging something on the wall. No, I'm
26
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.359
just getting I got that done a long time ago.
27
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:57.000
But I was talking to a publicist about banned interviews
28
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:00.400
and about what happens at festivals. That's should be a
29
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.760
whole nother show. I think we may do on Wednesday,
30
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:08.400
who knows. But we're here now, and I think it's
31
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.039
I think we should have started the show with George
32
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:17.719
Thoroughgret good. Okay, but tell us why is your pet
33
00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:18.719
bad to the bone.
34
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:28.280
It's a very complex situation. When I started in the business,
35
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:32.000
basically we had no problem animals. I mean occasionally saw
36
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.199
one or two. But today, with modern life and what
37
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.039
we are doing to our pets, we're really screwing them up.
38
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:47.560
I mean we're creating, we're creating these environments where training
39
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.000
is almost impossible, and with many dogs. I remember when
40
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.360
I started in when I was a kid, I was
41
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.280
breaking a dog a weekend event. You know, you took
42
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.400
the phantom, you taught they went partty, they remembered, never
43
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:04.840
happened again. Now I see trainers with dogs that have
44
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.919
been in training for six months and they're finally housebroken,
45
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.319
and they take them drop them off at the owner's house,
46
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:12.879
and the first thing the dog does is take a
47
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:18.919
dump on the floor. You know. It's just the system
48
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.960
is just so screwed up. Of course, you know that
49
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.599
a lot of that goes back to the behavioral problems,
50
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:30.479
and the behavioral issues are because of food chemicals, hormone imbalances,
51
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.759
all of that stuff. Same thing we have with our kids.
52
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:41.039
It's unbelievable too. Like you you were saying about a dog,
53
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.520
that's why I don't want people's dogs over my place.
54
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:50.080
Like it's like that. It's always the parents of dogs
55
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:54.199
that say, my dog wouldn't do any of that. That
56
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.680
does it? Do you find that exactly?
57
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:07.759
It's it's yeah, absolutely, you know again because just like
58
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.199
with our kids, you know, commercial pet foods are basically
59
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:17.920
carbohydrate based, which means they're sugar sugar based, and so
60
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.519
we've got that problem to start with around a sugar
61
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.879
high and a crash, you know, and it's creating a
62
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.160
situation where they're not comfortable in their own body because
63
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.920
they're always battling inflammation. Then you throw in nine thousand
64
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.879
you know procedures, if you will. When we're sticking them
65
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.240
full of needles and put pumping chemicals into them, and
66
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.480
we wonder why the whole endocrine system is off, the
67
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.240
thyroid is off, the adrenal gland is off, all of
68
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.120
that sort of thing. It's creating all that, and then
69
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.839
we just for you know, just for something to do.
70
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.240
I guess we then either spare or newter them, which
71
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:05.360
throws off that hormonal section completely, and we want them
72
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.680
to act normal. I mean, is that possible? If you
73
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.120
who had body parts ripped out and loaded up with
74
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.480
drugs and chemicals, would you be leading? But we would
75
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.560
consider to be a natural on the natural life.
76
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.240
Now, wait a minute, my friend she just went to
77
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:28.360
the vet recently in California and her dog needs dental work,
78
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:35.480
forty five hundred dollars worth of dental work. Okay, Like, yeah,
79
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.000
are you kmate? You know what I'm just I don't.
80
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.639
I can't see ever spending forty five hundred dollars on
81
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.560
dental work on a dog. I don't.
82
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.399
I'd better see some twenty four carried golden teeth in
83
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.720
my dog if I'm spending that kind of money.
84
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.839
Right, what's that all about, Billy?
85
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.879
Well, again, the carbohydrate dogs and cats do not have
86
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.519
the amylase in their saliva that we do the breakdown rhydrates,
87
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.199
so that just converts directly into sugar, and then that
88
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.120
coats with tartar, and now you get the bacterial infections
89
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.000
going on. You get all this tartar build up, all
90
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.399
that sort of thing. I remember going back to the
91
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.800
early nineteen eighties when I was a manufacturer's rep and
92
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.959
I actually started selling then all equipment. I could not
93
00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.639
give it away to a veterinarian until they sued us
94
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.680
for practicing medicine without a license. We were selling to
95
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.360
groomers State of Ohio, and when they presented us with
96
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:47.040
this charge, there was nothing about dental in veterinary code
97
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.720
because they were never treating it, because it wasn't there.
98
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:55.160
It was the advent of artificial flavors in dry kibble,
99
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.399
dog food and then canned foods that set off this
100
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.800
fire circles in about three to five all of a sudden,
101
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.160
they're all having dental problems. Manufacturers came out with cruncher
102
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.240
food for cleaner teeth, which turned out to be a lie.
103
00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.439
AFTC may take it off the label. The whole industry
104
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:17.240
is built on a fancy and it's just about taking money.
105
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.519
You know, you said forty five. I mean that's ridiculous.
106
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.040
And you know what happens. I find is that people
107
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.600
will spend more money at the vet than they will
108
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:31.639
on their doctor. Like they'll let themselves get sick and die,
109
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.639
but they'll spend thousands on their pet immediately.
110
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:44.160
Yeah, it's true. I got to call Saturday night from
111
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:49.639
a client in tears because we sell on fear. Okay,
112
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.439
So anyway, she's got a dog that's pretty well behaved,
113
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.639
well socialized, and she's she takes it out of quite
114
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:01.639
a bit with like a pool and you know, walking
115
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.839
around the neighborhood and things of that nature. And she
116
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:09.959
had an exemption for the rabies shot and it was
117
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:14.839
expiring and she doesn't have she didn't have enough money
118
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:22.160
to have another exemption written. So one of the feed
119
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:27.120
stores in the area was offering a clinic, and so
120
00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.360
she took the dog over. Now, this dog has got
121
00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:36.159
small tumors on its body, so it's got cancer, and
122
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.120
the veterinarian net was there, noted it the vetech noted
123
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:47.879
it looked at it and proceeded on the procedure. Well,
124
00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:52.000
when you look at the box with a warning label
125
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:57.879
says can only be given to a healthy animal. Now,
126
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:01.840
if you've got tumors of it, isn't it that that's
127
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:07.200
not healthy? And really, if that veterinarian was ethical, she
128
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.759
should have written an exemption right there on the spot.
129
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:16.120
But no, they took the money instead and basically poison
130
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:18.679
the dog, which is now sick.
131
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.840
It's terrible, and you know, listen, I think people are
132
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:27.159
so blind about it that they just went. They loved
133
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.360
their animals so much that whatever the vet says they do,
134
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.679
they would question their own doctor about their own body,
135
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.080
but they don't question the vet. What's up with that?
136
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:44.679
It's all it's so heavily indoctrinated. You know, we can't.
137
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.600
You can't if we go back and look at time
138
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:52.039
over less, so I don't know, forty years we're told
139
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.960
we can't. We can't feed our animals real food. We
140
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:58.000
have to give them a commercial mix of food that
141
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.080
we know, based on research, based on anecdotal evidence, that
142
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.799
the animal's going to get sick, and we have to
143
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:09.440
treat them. We've watched everage life span of dogs go
144
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.240
from twenty to thirty years down to eight to twelve.
145
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:17.039
And they have all this extra all this testing, all this,
146
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.679
all these super drugs and preventions and everything else. How
147
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.559
is it that the life expectancy would drop that much
148
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.039
in forty years?
149
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:28.919
Wow?
150
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.200
If they've evolved into these super beings.
151
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:39.039
Yeah, no, I think that's the beginning of the end
152
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:44.279
of your life expectancy probably, But you know, yeah, I
153
00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:47.600
want to know too, Like we're talking about behavioral issues,
154
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:51.320
how do we know the difference between a behavioral issue
155
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.120
or instinct? For instance, we're talking about like you bring
156
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.759
let's say you bring your dog to somebody's house. Now,
157
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.919
are they paying in their house because of a behavioral
158
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:06.960
issue or because they're marking their territory? And how do
159
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:07.879
you know the difference.
160
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.759
Well, that's the toughest part about it, because you've got
161
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.639
now you probably you know if there's another dog where
162
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:21.159
you're going, Okay, Now you've got that territorial thing going on. Okay,
163
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.759
because you've got two animals that are may I say
164
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:32.039
psychotic because they both have issues, but they're different issues,
165
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:34.600
So you don't know, I mean, you know, you might
166
00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:38.000
get one dog's friendly with some dogs, and we'll attack another.
167
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.639
We'll attack not because it's an aggressive dog, but on
168
00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:46.759
a defensive basis because that other dog is aggressive and
169
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.440
your dog senses that. So you get these mixed feelings
170
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:53.759
going across. It's like, you know, like going to a
171
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:56.480
club or a concert. You know, you got some you know,
172
00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.480
some really out there people on both sides.
173
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.600
I think I think that when I'm just walking out
174
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.200
the door, to be honest.
175
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:10.000
You're right there, and Heaven help you if you go
176
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.000
into a government building, right I'm.
177
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:16.080
Telling you twenty twenty sacks. I prefer not to walk
178
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.559
out the door because every time I walk out the door,
179
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.679
it's like, Okay, maybe I'll come back in the door.
180
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:27.679
Too many stupid people out there.
181
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:30.480
It's incredible, it really is, you know. And here's the
182
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:32.159
person that was just trying to do the right thing
183
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:37.080
and be compliant, but the fear was so bad. And
184
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:41.480
because she's staying in a relative's house down here in Florida.
185
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.240
You know, we got a lot of those that, you know,
186
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.919
their houses are empty for six months of the year
187
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:49.080
for them snowboard. So she's staying there for free. She's
188
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.919
afraid the owner will have the liability if this dog
189
00:12:53.039 --> 00:13:01.559
ever snaps. And you know, it's like they don't realize
190
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:07.279
that those regul those are regulations. They're not laws. They
191
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.840
call them laws, but they're really not. You don't have
192
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.159
to comply, and you know that's true of course our
193
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.759
whole society, as you're well aware, I mean, when they
194
00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.120
put up these regulations and that sort of thing, but
195
00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:22.639
yet that's not the law.
196
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:27.960
Most regulatory bodies are not even government. Like people don't
197
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.080
realize that. Even like in the investment business, the regulatory
198
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:36.720
bodies there's the compliance legal bodies are government, but then
199
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:41.120
the regulatory bodies are self regulating, you know, so it's
200
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.840
just people in the business that are on the board
201
00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:50.120
of that regulatory board then force that stuff. Most regulation
202
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.759
in this country is self regulation. People don't realize that.
203
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:59.960
Yeah, it's you know, you know ten twelve years ago,
204
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.840
we had a veterinary clinic for a short period of
205
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.600
time and my partner at that point in time was
206
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:08.759
spending we were spending more money on attorneys fighting the
207
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:13.120
state board because we would not do certain procedures because
208
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.120
because it was a natural it was set up as
209
00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:19.200
a natural, holistic type practice, and you know it was
210
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:25.399
it was the other veterinarians that actually commenting and bringing
211
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:29.080
up the charges against us because we would not comply
212
00:14:29.240 --> 00:14:33.320
with theirs with the all standard of care. And you know,
213
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:38.200
if you got a veterinarian like this one where they
214
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.840
knew there was a problem with the animal, and they
215
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.200
ignore the manufacturers warning anyway, and they don't want to
216
00:14:44.240 --> 00:14:47.279
write the exemptions because the board frowns on it. It's
217
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:52.399
about dollars. I saw on a podcast earlier this morning
218
00:14:53.519 --> 00:15:01.679
where the average costs for one of those sticking a
219
00:15:01.720 --> 00:15:03.879
needle in is about one hundred and fifty to two
220
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:09.000
hundred dollars walking in the door. And the question was,
221
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:14.919
what why that little vial only costs them like four dollars. Well,
222
00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:18.240
we got overhead and everything else, but they got a
223
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:22.840
little bit deeper that they claim that every time a
224
00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:28.120
veterinarian has to see, has to do anything, the price
225
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:34.639
includes basically an evaluation. So they're charging for an evaluation
226
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:38.240
when you just want, you know, a parasite check. You know,
227
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:41.080
that is the evaluation. It's a parasite check, it's a
228
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:44.440
lab test, you know. But this is how they keep
229
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.960
just piling on, piling on, and of course, now with
230
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:51.519
investment companies venture capitalist, that's worthing buying up all the
231
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.159
animal hospitals. The prices are going through the roof. Forty
232
00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:00.279
five hundred dollars for dental is not extraordinary today. I mean,
233
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.200
I mean people come in and they're quoted ten thousand
234
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.919
or more, and I.
235
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.840
Think it's ridiculous when I show up to a human
236
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:10.600
dentist and they say that crap.
237
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:15.720
Okay, now we have seen like the prices skyrocket in
238
00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:20.000
pet health in general. Do you see a market for
239
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:24.399
something like a healthcare type of plan for your pets
