<v Speaker 1>So welcome back to all the kidd oh's hanging out

<v Speaker 1>in the carpool lanes and the bus stops today. I

<v Speaker 1>meals each and every day. Wow, it's like the biggest

<v Speaker 1>restaurant in the state. Basically, can you imagine shout out

<v Speaker 1>those pigs in a blanket today one hundred thousand meals

<v Speaker 1>each and every day. Favor yea, yeah, So shout out

<v Speaker 1>to DPS kids going back. Had a pretty eventful weekend.

<v Speaker 1>I know, we want to get into what Katie did

<v Speaker 1>in a little bit, because she went out and ate

<v Speaker 1>a bunch of peaches this weekend. I left the show

<v Speaker 1>on Friday. When did we get out of here, guys,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Eleven Yeah, zip right on out of here.

<v Speaker 1>And there's a car dealership I like going to on

<v Speaker 1>my way home from time to time, and I swung

<v Speaker 1>in just for the heck of it. Just to kind

<v Speaker 1>of poke around because I had been toying with getting

<v Speaker 1>rid of my little Barbie truck that I got one

<v Speaker 1>year ago that I absolutely hate, hated hated it, mostly

<v Speaker 1>because my head kept hitting this ceiling. I couldn't wear

<v Speaker 1>a ball cap in this little Barbie truck because my

<v Speaker 1>head just don't thunk thunk.

<v Speaker 2>Colorado roads, they're so bumpy.

<v Speaker 1>Oh god, I was just so sick of this.

<v Speaker 3>We didn't help either, Honestly.

<v Speaker 1>I rolled into this dealership and about two hours later,

<v Speaker 1>I rolled out with a new car. I'm like, I

<v Speaker 1>was telling the sweet little sales lady that was helping me.

<v Speaker 1>I was like, I was not expecting to do this

<v Speaker 1>today at all.

<v Speaker 3>Here we are.

<v Speaker 1>But I went in there and they had basically what

<v Speaker 1>I had been looking for, and they met me in

<v Speaker 1>all the right places when it came to cost and everything,

<v Speaker 1>and I was like.

<v Speaker 2>Well, why the hell not. I'm so happy for you,

<v Speaker 2>Thank you, fin Cruiser. That's so exciting.

<v Speaker 4>You know.

<v Speaker 1>Year I'd been looking for the ones with the flames

<v Speaker 1>on the side.

<v Speaker 2>Yes, it was there.

<v Speaker 1>It was there, Uh so yeah, And I was I

<v Speaker 1>was talking to her about that, and she's like, you

<v Speaker 1>have no idea how many people come in and they're

<v Speaker 1>just browsing, wandering around, killing time before a meeting. She's like,

<v Speaker 1>and then two hours later they walk out with a car.

<v Speaker 1>She's like, it happened so often. I was like, I

<v Speaker 1>had no idea, but no, I just added to that stat.

<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I'm back. I'm back in a bigger truck now.

<v Speaker 4>For you, life is good also when you're like, you know,

<v Speaker 4>find something you like, you want to, you know, jump

<v Speaker 4>on it.

<v Speaker 1>That's the thing. Like she pulled it around and because

<v Speaker 1>I saw it on their website while I was there,

<v Speaker 1>because it wasn't on the lot, and I was like, oh,

<v Speaker 1>where's this one. She's like, oh, let me go grab it.

<v Speaker 1>I'll pull it around. And as soon as she did,

<v Speaker 1>I was more or less angel crat. I guess I'm

<v Speaker 1>doing this today. So pretty excited about that. And then

<v Speaker 1>on Saturday we had our first experience with cross country.

<v Speaker 1>So my son has ended his basketball career and now

<v Speaker 1>he's hot and heavy into cross country here in high school.

<v Speaker 1>And it was our first ever. I don't know what

<v Speaker 1>they ever called meat. I guess they all meet and Josh,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you've ever been to a cross

<v Speaker 1>country event like high school and wildly different than sitting

<v Speaker 1>on the bleachers watching your kid play basketball like that.

<v Speaker 1>Nothing like it at all. You stand around all morning

<v Speaker 1>bs with other parents. You're out in the heat, and

<v Speaker 1>here's the thing, Like they map out the course, okay,

<v Speaker 1>where the kids are supposed to run. This one was

<v Speaker 1>just a quick two mile run. So we went and

<v Speaker 1>walked it first of all, so we knew where they

<v Speaker 1>were going to be running. And then when they start

<v Speaker 1>the race, you're standing there at the starting line and pow,

<v Speaker 1>they fire the gun and they all take off. Then

<v Speaker 1>the parents all run them to the other side to

<v Speaker 1>watch them run past them, and then they all run

<v Speaker 1>to another portion and watch the kids past them, and

<v Speaker 1>then they run to the finish line to watch the

<v Speaker 1>kids come to the finish line.

<v Speaker 2>Get your steps in the entire.

<v Speaker 1>Damn time, there's parents running everywhere.

<v Speaker 2>It's it's a spectacle, man, That's that's all you can

<v Speaker 2>explain it as it's a total spectacle.

<v Speaker 1>Dude. We had no idea. I was like, I brought

<v Speaker 1>my folding chair. I was like, well, I guess I'm

<v Speaker 1>just going to sit here and watch it, maybe in

<v Speaker 1>a track.

<v Speaker 2>Or bring your hookahs. Bring running shoes, dude.

<v Speaker 1>Like, luckily I had some running shoes on, but Nick

<v Speaker 1>Knack and my daughter didn't like bad day to wear

<v Speaker 1>flip flops. And yeah, so the entire time we're running

<v Speaker 1>all over the place.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and well and how early was your morning? Right,

<v Speaker 2>it's like a five am call?

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, like we were up at five. We had

<v Speaker 1>to be at the track at like I remember what

<v Speaker 1>it was six thirty early mornings, dude. So you drive,

<v Speaker 1>I will say it's beautiful because it's nice and cool.

<v Speaker 1>You get the sunrise. The location we were up at

<v Speaker 1>thunder Ridge High School. Beautiful location. Yeah, that's that high

<v Speaker 1>School's got a view. Man. But I didn't know that

<v Speaker 1>I needed to eat my protein and have a shake

<v Speaker 1>because I was gonna be running roughly two miles.

<v Speaker 2>You're cramping all yeah.

<v Speaker 1>And then it's like I felt bad for the parents that, like,

<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't want to be mean, but they

<v Speaker 1>haven't run. They probably haven't run in a long time.

<v Speaker 2>Well, those are the finish line parents.

<v Speaker 1>I was watching a few of them, like are you laughing?

<v Speaker 1>The parents like running up and back and forth, and

<v Speaker 1>there come on Jerry and the one guy's like, welcome

<v Speaker 1>to cross.

<v Speaker 4>But you're right, they have to be the smart parents

<v Speaker 4>who just set up shop at the finish line.

<v Speaker 1>You can tell you and they're out there with their

<v Speaker 1>like little golf cart. But it was a blast. I

<v Speaker 1>will say I am a newbie to the world of

<v Speaker 1>cross country, but I absolutely love it. I've never seen

<v Speaker 1>a more close knit group of boys and parents already,

<v Speaker 1>and they say that about cross country and runners in general.

<v Speaker 1>Track all of them. It becomes an incredibly close community.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because who runs for fun?

<v Speaker 1>I know, And I think it's because we all stand

<v Speaker 1>around so much that you just start talking to everybody

<v Speaker 1>and you become best friends forever. So if you got

<v Speaker 1>a kiddo exploring some high school sports, highly recommend cross

<v Speaker 1>country and by yourself some new nikes because you're going

<v Speaker 1>to be running two all right. Some more fun and games.

<v Speaker 1>Right around nine o'clock today when we played Katie Crash.

<v Speaker 1>It's our fun pop culture trivia game. We got up

<v Speaker 1>for grabs with.

<v Speaker 3>That house tickets.

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, snack pass passes all right. Actually set those

<v Speaker 1>reminders on your smart speakers and your phones to calling

<v Speaker 1>at nine o'clock today, play Katie Crush. We've had a

<v Speaker 1>funny little conversation side conversation going on here in the

<v Speaker 1>studios about Jake Jabs.

<v Speaker 3>That's pretty great, right.

<v Speaker 1>Well, we're all wondering if he actually owns these animals,

<v Speaker 1>the tigers and stuff he's at on the TV commercials

<v Speaker 1>over the years.

<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I think you can own adult tigers. You

<v Speaker 2>can own the little ones.

<v Speaker 4>Breaking jazz and it was a different time back in

<v Speaker 4>the nineties. But doesn't need to Well, I know, but

<v Speaker 4>like back then when he made them famous, I don't

<v Speaker 4>know if it was as frowned upon to have big

<v Speaker 4>tigers in your household.

<v Speaker 1>Is it frowned upon now?

<v Speaker 2>Well, I think it's awesome.

<v Speaker 3>So I was out in h on the Western Slope.

<v Speaker 4>I was out at the peach Fest this weekend, and

<v Speaker 4>Jake Jabs is a huge sponsor of the peach Fest.

<v Speaker 4>He has been for years. American Furniture warehouse out there.

<v Speaker 4>But somebody I was talking to somebody who's not from

<v Speaker 4>the area, and we got off on the conversation about

<v Speaker 4>how when if you grew up in Colorado as a kid,

<v Speaker 4>you wanted one of those big stuff tigers that they got.

<v Speaker 4>If your parents bought a couch from American Furniture right

<v Speaker 4>if you rolled in there with your parents.

<v Speaker 1>They still do it.

<v Speaker 2>I wanted the white tiger though they've got a whole

<v Speaker 2>of white tigers.

<v Speaker 4>They do, and they're like massive. And as a child,

<v Speaker 4>I know the baby not all she ever wanted, like

<v Speaker 4>she can you go buy a couch from that place

<v Speaker 4>so I can have the stuff tiger. And so we

<v Speaker 4>were discussing this with some people in the car who

<v Speaker 4>weren't familiar with it, and they were so taken aback

<v Speaker 4>by the fact that a furniture guy had real tigers.

<v Speaker 1>Made you want to buy the furn It still does.

<v Speaker 1>And then every time I'm in an Americans, they were.

<v Speaker 4>So offended by the fact that he used real tigers

<v Speaker 4>to market his brand. And I was just like, and

<v Speaker 4>then I can't tell you how many times I said

<v Speaker 4>this past weekend, it was a different time, Like I

<v Speaker 4>said that so often.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but why what's their beat? Those are probably the

<v Speaker 1>best well cared for tigers ever I know.

<v Speaker 4>Well, And at one point the person got a little

<v Speaker 4>like they were like, you know those tigers that they

<v Speaker 4>were medicated, and I'm like, I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>So the Google box says that no, Jake Jabs did

<v Speaker 1>not personally own the tigers. The big cats used by

<v Speaker 1>the founder belonged to professional exotic animal trainers and handlers

<v Speaker 1>who brought them in for his famous nineteen nineties television commercials. Yes,

<v Speaker 1>so they air store appearances.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they just.

<v Speaker 3>Made it seem like they were his.

<v Speaker 2>I mean, they were just well trained, they were very trucked.

<v Speaker 3>He walked around like he owned tigers.

<v Speaker 4>Like that's the vibe that Jake jab has given since

<v Speaker 4>the beginning of time. Like, so, I just like, I

<v Speaker 4>can see why people would think he owns them, But yeah,

<v Speaker 4>he just uses them for marketing.

<v Speaker 1>It's aye. An animal park owner pitched using big cats

<v Speaker 1>in his TV ads, and after seeing how much his

<v Speaker 1>staff loved a visiting baby tiger cub, Jabs used them

<v Speaker 1>to make his spots unforgettable and they're iconic now about

<v Speaker 1>him still, Oh my god.

<v Speaker 3>You think of Jake Jabs, you think of tigers.

<v Speaker 2>Yes, you know, your friends are dumb.

<v Speaker 3>They were just concerned, that's it.

<v Speaker 1>They were just a dumb friends.

<v Speaker 3>No, No, if they.

<v Speaker 4>Were not familiar with it, they had no idea, but

<v Speaker 4>they immediately.

<v Speaker 1>Went to like the most horrible things. Well, because that's.

<v Speaker 2>What people do now, that is what gen z ers do.

<v Speaker 4>They do They get offended, like they're probably offended.

<v Speaker 1>Guys just called him dumb'll be dumb people.

<v Speaker 2>People actually get offended, like they're really dumb.

<v Speaker 1>That's really dumb. I know, I know, I know,
