The Bert Show. I've said this on the show before that, you know, a year and a half ago,

or two years ago, if one of your close friends came up to you and said, look, I've got this

idea. I'm going to call it the, I want to call it a snuggy. Will you invest? And let me

tell you what it's all about. It's sort of a, it's a robe, but it's not really a robe. It's, you know, and they give you the whole description of the Snuggie, right? And maybe they even come to you with the blueprint of it and you take a look at it and you're like, and they say, you know, I'm going to give you this offer right now. I'm going to let you in right now. You can invest in my Snuggie. and if you give me $10,000, you know, I'll give you 20% of the cut when this thing goes big. You'd have laughed them out of the room, right? Totally. Yeah. It's a ridiculous idea. The Snuggie is a ridiculous concept, right? It's a ridiculous. Bathrobe. It's a bag. It's a bag. side. And now... Who's going to buy that? They'll just put their bathrobe on backwards. And now we all have one.

And now everybody has one.

We do. pockets on the other side. And now... Who's going to buy that? They'll just put their bathrobe on backwards. And now we all have one. And now everybody has it. The collegiate version. You wear them proudly at games now. Pub crawls. Yep. I mean, I don't know how much that dude is worth now, the snuggy dude. But if you could have got in on the ground floor and you had that kind of foresight, you wouldn't be listening to this show because you'd be in the Caribbean

Island right now. The other one I've been thinking about a lot the last couple of days because

they have invaded our house is the Zuzu pet. Oh, those things are insane. I don't know what they are.

If you don't have kids, Zuzu pets are little electric mice. They're not live, but they're just mice. You know, back in the day, you actually used to go to a pet store. And if your kid wanted like a hamster or something, you got a live one and you got the cage. Then you had a habit trail, which was sort of like, you know, that tube at Chucky Cheese for kids. Yeah, the orange tubing. Refresh the cedar chips. Right. Replace the little, like, water bottle with the metal thing, and they go. Right. You don't need to do that anymore. And I think the concept of the Zuzu pet as a parent is fantastic, because if you have one live hamster, then you have 50 live hamsters. So the Zuzu pet on paper is really a great idea. And the Zuzu pet doesn't poop. Doesn't poop. You can add things to my house right now that don't poop. So the kids all of a sudden are really into Zuzu Pet, so we ordered them online like last week. And Chunk and Mr. Squiggles came... uh, that's funny. I can't believe this is my life. What is it? Wait, what's the name? Um, Chunk and Mr. Squiggles, I think, his name is two Zuzu Pets. Is that what your kids named them? Or is that what they're already named? They're already named. Oh, okay. Okay. So they came the other day and I tweeted that, I can't believe I'm finally one of these Zuzu Pet families.

And everybody was emailing me and texting me and hitting me up on Twitter saying,

don't worry about it because they're going to be broken within 30 minutes.

And we finally ended up setting up the Zuzu Pet City last night and the Zuzu Pets.

11 minutes. 11 minutes. And we spent, I think it was a good amount of money on the Zuzu Pets, broken in 11 minutes. How do they buy? I mean, no way. The motor runs out or if you accident, I mean, four-year-olds and five-year-olds are playing with it. So they're going to drop it. You drop it, it breaks. Dead. You play with some of the maneuvers, little things on the bottom of it, and it breaks. Dead. Eleven minutes.

I see what's that fragile. It's like real mice. It's real hamsters. Nobody really has those

for that long. No, those last forever because one multiplies to 10 and 10 multiplies to 20.

The concept of it is great. I mean, I think it started in

Japan and whoever started it is a multi-millionaire now. But I would just give you this warning, the same one that was given to me. Seriously, they last 10 minutes and then you got to go out and got to get yourself another zoosu pet. Oh, you know, now I know why it's so fragile because you have to go Yeah, you have to replace it.

Yeah.

So, to ching.

And then you got to go out.

And you can't just have one zoo-zu pet city. You have to extend it because one is boring for the kids and then you extend and extend and extend. Before you know it, you've got a $100 city and Chunky's dead. We had to have a chunk funeral last night. Because Chunk's dead. Now, Mr. Squiggles is okay? Squiggles is alone. Okay. And he's dealing with it right now. Bye-bye, Chunky. But, yeah, Chunk died last night. Oh, poor Squirrel. God bless him. On his little tombstone, it's going to say from 636 to 647.

Mr. Chunk was around and that was it, man.
