Hey, Bobby. Yeah. You know what's creepy? Tell me, Lauren.

Dexter. Oh, there he is. Yeah, I'm holding. I'm holding a plushy version of Dexter for the video podcast or the non-video podcast watchers for the audio listeners.

There you go. I don't know why I made that more complicated than it had to be. But yes, this cute little plushy dexter is creepy.

So we're talking today's episodes about the plushy dexter. No, this episode is about pets, pets, which has been a highly requested topic. It has from you guys. So hopefully we do it justice.

This is probably relatable to a lot of people because an estimated 68% of US households have a pet. It's pretty high. Did you know that? So over here, that's pretty high. It's a majority.

But I guess good spot to start would be what kind of pets each of us had as kids. I had questions. And then, and then we can go over the ones that we had together. Sure.

You're going to go first. Sure. I'll go first. I feel like you would or let's see if I can remember everything. We had a dog. We had rabbits, guinea pigs, iguanas, frogs, turtle, fish.

Oh my God. Birds. What did you have a zoo? No, we had. We're these overlapping pets. They were overlapping. We never really had to my remembering more than two at a time.

Like we had our dog probably most pets, most things like we had we had our dog. We got when I was like six or seven. That's pretty young. Wait, she was 14, 14. She died when I was like 22.

So, wait, math. Well, yes, I was like eight or seven. I have a lot more stricter views on pets now that I've had quite a few. What does that mean? That means all I want are dogs. Why?

Because all their pets are not nearly as much fun.

You're fending so many people right now, including me. I've had them all. I've had a lot of guinea pigs are cool. Like rabbits are cool. But they just live in a little cage. I feel bad for them. Like we end iguana.

They're safe from predators. Yeah. I mean, I guess it's better than living in the wild, but for guinea pigs at least. Yeah.

I don't know. They're just a lot of responsibility. They often stink. You got to clean them in their cage.

But I mean, I guess when you're younger, they're really cool. I've never had my turtle. My mom found my mom found a wild turtle in the parking lot of her doctor's office and brought him home. Okay.

Wait, so your turtle is a wild turtle? It was a wild turtle. Did it live long? No. I don't think I wonder why I was trying to like I don't think it like eight.

I don't think you're supposed to keep wild. Yeah. There's like specific turtles back in like live well and kept. Yeah. I tried to give them a really cool environment. I thought I did game like much cool. Like, you know, water and stuff. What was his name?

You don't know your turtle's name. No. Maybe Michelangelo. Oh my god. Maybe that would probably make sense. I really don't remember ninja turtles. I wonder if my mom remembers, but doubtful.

So it seems like you were not very attached to the majority of your pet. We were like we had a guinea pig's name is pepper. We had him when we got our dog and they were like good together. Yeah. He was he was cool.

We had rabbits. Wasn't really attached to them. We had birds. It wasn't really whatever. They're just birds. We had we had this a guana. Here's a crazy story. So we had this a guana called Iggy. I don't very like original iguana name.

So he got pretty big. We had him for a couple of years. And he like, we just being this big glass tank downstairs and every time he'd go to like the bathroom downstairs, you just whip his tail of you.

So he hated you as well. Yeah. He was my mom. He was pretty good with my mom. Like she would take him out and like put him in like a harness thing and like let him like call around and stuff.
