00:00:04.639 --> 00:00:11.919
Hey, you love then to the censure, Wow for you?
2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:23.079
You biite man's conundrum. He normally covers riot Fest, he
3
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.960
normally covers Latter in Life. This year, they're the same weekend,
4
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:29.719
and there was a major announcement made this weekend. It's
5
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:31.960
all over the news, it was on Good Morning America.
6
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:38.079
But Captain James T. Kirk, ninety five year old William
7
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.039
Shatner is going to debut his heavy metal band at
8
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.679
at riot Fest. Not only that, he had a list
9
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.759
of demands. Would you like to hear what his demands were?
10
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.320
Let's hear the demands.
11
00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.759
Okay, I want, I want pet Health grew to be
12
00:00:55.840 --> 00:00:59.119
involved in this because I'm sure he knows James T.
13
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:06.120
Kirk and I have. I got James T. Kirk got
14
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.640
me through college basically, okay, because that was my only
15
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.719
free time working eighty hours a week and pulling seventeen
16
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.319
credits and semester at Rutgers, my free time was watching
17
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:22.120
Star Trek. So here was William Shatner's demands. Rename a
18
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.640
boat in honor of William Shatner so he can captain
19
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.280
a ship again. The town of Chicago has to provide
20
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:32.760
that by way, So Riot Fest has been writing him
21
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.359
for ten years to do this. Okay, He's finally doing it,
22
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.319
and he made demands from riot Fest and from Chicago.
23
00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:44.599
Chicago also has to do it. One prominently displayed riot
24
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.200
Fest twenty twenty six billboard with William Shatner's face and
25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:54.879
the face of one lucky fan a classic Chicago food
26
00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.359
item to be named in tribute to William Shatner. William
27
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.400
Shatner gets to co anchor the weather Outside with Chicago's
28
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:10.360
most beloved meteorologist. William Shatner gets to sing take Me
29
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:14.159
to the ballgame at a Chicago baseball game. That's what
30
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:18.719
Chicago has to provide. Riot Fest must provide during the
31
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:25.599
performance fire breathers, many of them, an intro video created
32
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.719
by Gwar, and an artist golf cart shall be replaced
33
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.439
instead of an artist golf cart. He wants his a
34
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:38.360
Dolorean to bring him around the festival. And then for hospitality,
35
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:42.000
riot Fest must provide a dressing room shut and it
36
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:48.960
shall be themed as Shatner's shag Shack to Arctis artist
37
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:55.319
specifications see eighteen point three of performance contract. This is
38
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.759
serious shit too. By the way, It's not a joke.
39
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:06.879
It's real, four feet of Polish sausage, one Montreal Canadian
40
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:14.240
hockey sweater signed by John Stamos, eight palettes of faygo.
41
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.560
That's the stuff that insane clown Posse sprays at the audience,
42
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.560
not to be shared with insane clown posse. It says,
43
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.719
one pair of white tube socks and one pair of underwear,
44
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.479
an assortment of a this is where pet healthcarew comes
45
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.639
in and it's so aproposed for the show today, and
46
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:45.159
an assortment of adoptable puppies sourced from a reputable local
47
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:52.240
animal rescue nonprofit. And then a bouquet of flowers in
48
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:59.479
a oaz you know, something sweet, something dainty, and the
49
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.960
last which he had to remind the anchors on Good
50
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.639
Morning America because he was talking to him and they,
51
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.840
you know, they gave all the demands, but they forgot one.
52
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.759
And he said, you forgot one bowl of sour kraut
53
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.480
in his dressing room ready to eat. And I didn't
54
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.399
get that one until somebody informed me. And maybe Bill
55
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.800
can like confirm this or not that apparently all the
56
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:28.319
old people they eat sour kraut and that they say
57
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.839
that's the secret to living longer because of the probiotics.
58
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:38.639
So now I'll switch it to you Bill. Is that true?
59
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.120
Yes, it is prevented foods. We lived with them for
60
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.759
generations and they eliminate them all by pastorization. It's killing us.
61
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:51.079
But another thing on William Shatner. As you know, Dean,
62
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:55.560
I do a patch company. He was our oldest ever
63
00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:59.079
intern with that company.
64
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:03.680
Wow, wow, Wow, that's gonna recorded.
65
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.319
He did a whole big promotion around it.
66
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.600
He was the world's oldest inter for a company.
67
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.399
Holy crap, that is cool.
68
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:13.800
You know.
69
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.920
Hey, listen, I'm hoping I make it that long right
70
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.439
kind of excitement.
71
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:23.759
Well ninety and listen. Now he's my hero he was before,
72
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.800
but now ninety five and he's starting a heavy metal band.
73
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:32.120
Oh my god. Like I'm in such a conundrum which
74
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:35.680
festival to go to because because it's like once in
75
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.920
a lifetime, Man, how cool would it be to interview
76
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:47.120
Captain Kirk but about metal? So what and what a
77
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.480
great thing he's doing with the adoptable puppies and so
78
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.199
how apropos of what we're going to talk about today,
79
00:05:55.319 --> 00:06:00.720
and that's about our babies? Oh my baby? What are
80
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.199
these tips to have your puppies have a Long Lasting
81
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:05.839
Life bill.
82
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.480
You know, we have you know, adoptions have been around
83
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.000
forever and ever and ever, because you know, it used
84
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.399
to just be called rehoming, and you know you used
85
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:17.360
to be or just shared with your neighbors. But now
86
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.160
it's become a business, unfortunately, and a big business. And
87
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:29.160
to find good quality animals, I mean the purpose of.
88
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:31.079
Rescue. Of course.
89
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.959
You know, we did a couple events years and we're
90
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.560
in the very beginning where I brought up this question,
91
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.759
and why do why do the rescues feel that they
92
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.160
have to do all these procedures, chemical interventions, all of
93
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.600
this sort of thing, And how come the veterinary industry
94
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:54.399
is into it so deeply. You know, if you're taking
95
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.360
a dog from a bad place or a kidding from
96
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.920
a bad place and putting into a good place, that's admirable.
97
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.480
That's what we want to do. That's what rescue's job is.
98
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:05.959
But they go through and they start incorporating all these
99
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:12.920
veterinary procedures and protocols into it, which number one raises
100
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.839
the price, you know, so that they can't do it affordably,
101
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.920
and adoption fees go up and up and up. The
102
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:22.319
other thing is many of the animals that are in
103
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.439
rescue today are there because of the veterinary expenses.
104
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.879
You know, it's interesting, you.
105
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.759
Can't you know, oh, I have to you know, in fact,
106
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.439
a lot of rescues as well. If you send an
107
00:07:38.480 --> 00:07:41.439
adoption agreement, you have to do a certain number of
108
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:48.639
veterinary visits, keep up the date with certain procedures, all
109
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:52.759
of which have got documented histories of actually making the
110
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:58.560
animal sicker. It's kind of like a you know, I'm
111
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:05.639
creating customers through the kind heartedness of people that want
112
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:10.199
to help. Yeah, and that part of it is is
113
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:11.959
a really really sad part of it.
114
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:12.879
Now.
115
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.800
You know, I've been involved in rescue work for you know,
116
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:22.600
probably fifty years. We actually do run a nonprofit long
117
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.399
Pine Rescue, which we've had for twenty some years, and
118
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.800
our purpose is not so much to move animals, but
119
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.000
ours is to try to teach them about holistic care
120
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:36.200
and you know, natural living so they don't need the
121
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.759
services of doctors and veterinarians and it.
122
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.919
You know, we want to get them on the right track.
123
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:48.799
Finding good reputa one the ones is sometimes difficult too.
124
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:51.000
I mean, they all come, they all look good on paper,
125
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:52.960
let's face it. You know, I got a five O
126
00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.399
one three C and you know, I'm running off with donations.
127
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.799
But many of these five O one three c's, as
128
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:05.000
you all where, and I am basically they created it
129
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:10.879
to create a paycheck for the person that's running ye
130
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.559
and that you know, so it.
131
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:14.519
Was very difficult.
132
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.480
You know, you really have to dig deep and find
133
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.000
those were the best reputations, and you know they stand
134
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:20.559
behind it.
135
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:21.879
We do happen.
136
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.360
I'm going to give a plug which I never do,
137
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.080
but we work with the Milk Grunk Foundation down here
138
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:32.480
in South Florida, Miami that does all Neil care for
139
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:39.080
really debilitated animals, and the founders of that were on
140
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:44.840
the Pethouse Cafe show this past week and explain what
141
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:46.799
they do and how they do it. And I mean
142
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.559
just the care of these animals is phenomenal. I mean,
143
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.039
the one of the founders of it, it's one of
144
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.360
the few people I've ever found with the same passion
145
00:09:58.360 --> 00:09:59.759
that I have for helping animals.
146
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.519
Nice. You know, that's very hard. That's a need only
147
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:04.679
haystack right there.
148
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:08.720
Yeah so, but yeah, I mean, you know, we we
149
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.679
try to work with as many as we can. We
150
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.639
offer We've always offered, you know, different programs for rescues
151
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.279
that want to work with us. I'm getting those those
152
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:21.960
poor abandoned animals out in a healthy state and.
153
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.000
Move forward. Let's cap these animals.
154
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.879
Healthy and long life and don't put an animal in,
155
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.639
you know, coming out of a shelter into a family
156
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.039
that may have all kinds of financial issues down the
157
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:36.799
road because of what was done.
158
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.519
In that rescue.
159
00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:44.320
Yeah, totally, so, uh what do you think of this
160
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:51.200
idea too? Of William Shatner, Like all the other items
161
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:54.320
were kind of ridiculous, but he really was being serious,
162
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:57.840
like he wants to help pet rescues, you know, and
163
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.759
that's a condition. Wouldn't that be great if most artists
164
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:07.080
or famous people took that strong of a stance to
165
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:08.519
help animals.
166
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:10.039
You know, there's a lot of them.
167
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.360
That that make a good claim out there, but you know,
168
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:15.120
unfortunately most of them are tied to a commercial interest.
169
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:16.639
Yes, and you.
170
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.279
Know, you know everybody's it's like every celebrity now wants
171
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:23.720
to get into on the either having a you know,
172
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.600
a forever home, you know, a ranch for animal, which
173
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:29.360
most of it is bogus anyway, But also then they're
174
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:32.799
all creating these brand new supplements and brand new foods
175
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.399
that are supposed to be you know, just super and
176
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.559
they're really nothing more than the same old stuff that's
177
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.360
been out there forever, you know. But I'm putting my
178
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.639
name on it, and I'm making money off it.
179
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:49.399
Yeah. I think people don't realize, like when they see
180
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:55.320
something named after somebody or that they you know, they're
181
00:11:55.399 --> 00:12:01.559
the sponsor person or the spokesperson, that they don't realize
182
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:03.919
that that's what it's about. It's business. It's not like,
183
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:05.639
you know, a passion.
184
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:09.480
Yeah, I mean it's exactly you know.
185
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.879
It's like, Okay, I'm so and so, and when my
186
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.480
dog Lulu got you know, hit problems, I was looking
187
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.000
for natural solutions.
188
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:25.200
So I went to basically allopathic medicine and found somebody
189
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:26.799
was a little bit off the wall to helped me
190
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:32.840
develop a variation on the standard dog food and at
191
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:36.639
a premium price. And this will actually saved their life,
192
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.679
maybe give them one or two years extra. But when
193
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:42.360
you look at what that standard industry has done, they've
194
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:45.279
taken a lifespan of out dogs, of our dogs, especially
195
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:49.320
from between twenty and thirty years. We've added modern technology
196
00:12:49.399 --> 00:12:52.000
now is medicine into it and now the average is
197
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:53.279
eight to ten years.
198
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:55.279
That doesn't seem like progress to me.
199
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:00.159
No, not at all. Well, thank god we have but
200
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.039
like you too, so so uh you know, keep fighting
201
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.960
a good fight for little furry friends.
202
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:09.919
Every day, every way.
203
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:14.320
And I see, uh, you know, wand chicken has head
204
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.000
two and and so I have to say, and the guppies.
205
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.960
Absolutely we're coming in. I'm working in a new formulation
206
00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:21.840
for guppy food.
207
00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.559
Uh see, there.
208
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.000
You go on, I would be interested in yes.
209
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:31.360
Yes, Unfortunately, you know, one of the favorite foods for guppies.
210
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:33.120
Is baby guppies.
211
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.639
I was gonna say other guppies, and I was gonna
212
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:40.559
be funny about it, but that's really what it is. Like, Yeah, oh,
213
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.279
I don't do I want to help a cannibal.
214
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.679
Well, I mean most you know, there's a lot of
215
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:50.480
the animals that we don't think it was being carnival carnivorous,
216
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.440
but that they really are.
217
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:54.519
But then you know, there's another part of it. Because
218
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.159
I was doing some some working in over.
219
00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:59.440
The last couple of weeks, and you know, we're as mammals,
220
00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:02.440
we think, you know, nurturing and you know, mom raising
221
00:14:02.480 --> 00:14:05.600
you and everything else. But there's a lot of animals
222
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.399
out there that as soon as they're pushed out or
223
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:13.440
they hatch out or develop, are completely on their own.
224
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:15.879
Parents have nothing to do with them at all.
225
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.799
They they're born with the instincts and the abilities to survive.
226
00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:28.240
Well, thank god again they have somebody like you that
227
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:35.360
can educate people on how to not kill them.
228
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.279
Yeah.
229
00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:40.600
Yeah, I mean like not on purpose, not on purpose,
230
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:42.159
but in bad advice.
231
00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:45.720
Yeah. I remember back. Oh god, this is probably twenty
232
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.600
or thirty years ago.
233
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:51.600
One of the humane action groups went up into I
234
00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:53.840
think it was Washington State or Idaho up there in
235
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:58.200
the northwest, someplace to rescue minks. There was a big
236
00:14:58.279 --> 00:15:00.840
mink farm up there that they're raising the mink floor,
237
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.919
you know, fashion obviously coats and hats and stuff like that.
238
00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.639
So, not knowing the animal themselves.
239
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:13.279
They went through, broke into this place, started releasing, opening
240
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:20.279
up all the cages, and meing are a charitable, ferocious fight.
241
00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:23.919
Yeah, that's right.
242
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:30.200
In the first half hour they kill each other because
243
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.759
they're so territorial and they are carnivores. It's just it
