Could a boxing match between legends and influencers be more than just entertainment? Our latest installment of "Slap the Power" is your backstage pass to the much-hyped showdown between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. We couldn't help but question the match’s authenticity, especially when compared to the eyebrow-raising outcome of the recent Serrano fight. Tune in as we ponder whether these events hold a mirror up to the issue of fairness in the ring, and set the stage for broader societal conversations.
Switching gears, we spotlight the harsh reality that 80% of climate change refugees are women, bringing to light the staggering inequities intensified by natural disasters. Join us as we travel to regions like Central East Africa, Bangladesh, and India, where these challenges are most acute, forcing young girls out of education and into vulnerable situations. We also touch on global political tensions, focusing on Hong Kong’s battle for democracy amidst Beijing’s tightening grip. Through these narratives, we aim to spark awareness and galvanize support for women and girls facing these adversities.

From partner violence , from being married off too
soon, from being taken out oftheir schools.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I mean women and girls are really the ones that
are another podcast, but it candefinitely use a slap.
That's right.
(00:36):
Welcome to Slap the Power, theshow that lifts artists who use
their powers for positiveprogress.
I'm Rick Mario Dill and I'mAsia Nakia.
That's right On the show.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Today we catch up on the fight that wasn't Mike Tyson
versus Jake Paul and then wehit our animal rescue segment
Pause for Progress and hearabout Franny Fran
CompassionKind's longestresident, who was just adopted.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh, franny, fran, All right, then we talk about
climate inequities for women.
Did you know 80% of peopledisplaced by climate change are
women?
Woo, you know 80% of peopledisplaced by climate change are
women.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And then in our newest segment, Compassion
Corner, we're going to talkthrough deworming puppies with
our senior producer, Brie.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's right.
If you're new to being a mom ordad, you got to.
You know there's certain thingsthat you got to know, so we're
going to drop that and a littlelater we'll tap our resident Gen
Z correspondent, asherFreidberg, in a new segment
called Make this Ish, make Sense, where we take unexplainable
things that somehow are the mosttrending things in our world
online.
Well, at the same time, dr Ozis now in charge of your
(01:35):
Medicaid.
So yeah, sure, but first Asia,how are you?
How was your weekend, did you?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
watch the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight.
I, you know I had to watchwhich.
You know I'm not like Imentioned on the last episode,
I'm not too big into fighting.
Yeah, I live a very nonviolentlife, even when it's a sport.
It's still hard for me to watchanyone get hit or suffer.
But I suffered through this onebecause I was just too curious
and I just wanted to know.
(02:03):
One because I was just toocurious and I just wanted to
know and it was.
I mean, I think the whole timeI was saying to myself just
don't die.
No one die.
So every round, that's what Iwas saying, but I was kind of
impressed they made all eightrounds.
I didn't think that was goingto happen when I started to see
those knees moving around onTyson.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's funny there's a lot of takes on online about
this because a lot of peoplejust think that fix was in and
everything.
And I think there's probablygood reason to look at that
fight and and say that, and notthat we're aficionados at all.
It'd be actually.
I think that's the benefit toour vantage on it is that it was
kind of what I was hoping itwasn't going to be, which is
(02:45):
when you throw these big sort ofyou know, not fully fully
sanctioned fights or things likethat, where there's just a lot
of money involved.
Tyson, it was like there wereseveral times where, if you've
seen him train, you're like,yeah, that he wasn't bringing
what he brought to training tothe fight, and so there's good
reason to kind of say you knowand who knows anymore?
I mean, I don't even know what.
(03:06):
What is up, what is down, it's,it's hard to tell.
But I'm with you, it was like Iwas expecting a little bit more
.
I think a lot of people wereand it was, you know, even at
only two minutes instead ofthree minutes around.
It was like it was.
You would hope that that wouldbe more explosive and for some
reason it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
yeah, it was.
It was kind of, you know, youknow that game, it was like back
when I was a kid.
I'm probably aging myself here,but yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
What was it?
Sockenpabra?
Rock'em, sock'em.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Rock'em, sock'em.
Yeah, they're just like goinglike this and it's just like
tick for tack, tick for tack.
But it was just very like chill.
There was really no big moment.
But also I felt like Tysonreally couldn't get a punch in
because Jake Paul is just somuch taller and like his arms
are so long.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So I don't know.
I feel like Tyson could have hecould have.
Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now, if it was completely staged, of course,
Like, if they already had theoutcomes.
I mean $80 million on the table.
What more?
But, I will say I'm stillreally upset about the fight
before that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh, my God, I know, I was going to bring.
Thank you for bringing that up.
That was.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Make that one make sense to me, please.
Serrano won.
Serrano won period.
Period Hands down the board hadthe numbers on it Right.
Can someone explain to me howthose numbers being higher for
Serrano meant that she loses?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, no, that's a great question.
I haven't even seen that.
I haven't seen that online.
If you have a theory on why,because she got ripped off the
first time.
That was the reason why.
To have this fight now and tohave the same thing kind of
happen again it was like youweren't watching the same fight
(04:49):
and again, please, now, and tohave the same thing kind of
happen again it was like youweren't watching the same fight
and again, please, leave it inthe comments, let us, let us
know how, what your, what yourtake is on that, because again,
it makes me just think that,like what can we trust?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
you know what can you bank on, yeah it's like sport
is supposed to be, like thisbeacon of fairness and you know,
and then that that fight, justI mean and and missing one point
, she got one point deducted forthat headbutt right, one right,
and she does it every time likeit's, like her token move,
which is not and it was allowed.
Yeah, yeah so, yeah, that wasvery upsetting.
(05:15):
And again, puerto rico gettinganother smack in the face you
know it's just every time.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I mean jake paul's already from there.
That's a bad enough smack inthe face, right there, right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That when he announced where he was coming
from, I was like but originallyfrom Cincinnati.
I'm just putting that out there.
Hey, you know, that's the wayit goes down.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We introduced a segment a couple weeks back
called Pause for Progress, whichis really, really it's near and
dear to not only our hearts butsort of everybody, all of our
clients and all of our customersand things like that and uh.
So please update us on onfranny and the compassion kind's
longest, longest livingresident who was just adopted.
(05:55):
Come on, that's cool.
Come on, give me, give me thegoods, give me the good yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So I mean this, this is so big that I don't even
think that I've let it like sinkin, really yeah um, but before
so franny was a foster of mineand that's because she was.
Probably one of our is so bigthat I don't even think that
I've let it like sink in reallyyeah, but before.
So Franny was a foster of mineand that's because she was
probably one of our mostmisunderstood dogs Came off a
little.
You know big pity comes off alittle aggressive with new folks
but really she just needs toget to know you hear your voice.
(06:20):
Kind of get used to her.
You know new surroundings.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But anyways, Franny has been with us since Hurricane
Laura, which was back inSeptember of 2020.
Wow, so we've had Franny forfour years and she's just been
sitting in foster care waitingfor her forever family.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Pandy baby.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I mean, yeah, and she's just the sweetest little
girl ever.
I completely adored her.
She was my foster for a verylong time and when I moved, it
was my biggest fear of what Iwas going to do with Franny when
I left Florida.
Oh, wow.
And one of my friends steppedup, hey, and she decided to
adopt her and we made herofficial yesterday, which is, I
(06:59):
mean, you know, you fight andyou fight every day for these
kind of things to happen.
I never thought Franny wasgoing to get adopted.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So big, big, big news for us that's a big, big W and
you know, one of the things wewanted to do with the show kind
of where we're sitting now isalso deal with things that
everybody can agree on.
You know, and everybody canagree on, getting Franny a
forever home is really reallyreally dope.
You know what is next as far asand pause for progress and what
(07:34):
is your biggest challenge thatyou have right now on deck.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I mean, I think the biggest challenge for us right
now is the big F, which isfunding.
Is the big F which is funding.
We've, you know we've I meansince COVID we've seen a decline
in donations but really andespecially expanding into the
Los Angeles area.
You know this is a whole newarena for us.
So we're still in this, youknow, transition phase of
(07:59):
finding the vets we want to workwith, finding fosters.
But yeah, really the fundinghas been tough lately because
we've had so many crazy cases, Imean dogs hit by cars and
abandoned dogs shot in the back.
We've had a couple cases wherewe need, like amputations and
it's just, it's very, very, verycostly.
So you know, those have beenour biggest struggles.
(08:22):
But also I'm very hopeful andexcited to be in the LA area.
There's, you know, such a hugeour biggest struggles.
But also I'm very hopeful andexcited to be in the LA area.
There's, you know, such a hugeneed for rescue here which
really surprised me.
But I feel like we've kind oflike, found our niche here, so
hopefully the funding willfollow, but you know there's a
lot of work to be done in thisarea, which inspires me, you
know.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
If people want to get involved or be able to help, um
, you know how can they do.
How can they do that?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I mean so many ways, but you can first stop is
compassion, kindorg.
You can learn more about us.
All of our links are there.
You can find us on social mediaall the instagrams, facebook's,
tiktoks, we've got them all atcompassion kind at compassion

our show notes.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So, yeah, that's great, matt.
Well props, and you know we'lltake the W anywhere we can get
it, and that's a big one yeahthat's a big one, so
congratulations, thank you.
All.
Right, when we come back, we'regoing to hit on how climate
change in this sort of newuncharted territory that we're
entering into, how itdisproportionately affects women
(09:26):
, and why this is something thatwe need to pay attention to
together.
So we'll see you after thebreak.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Gambling is part of the culture of America Since
even before we were America.
I'm Norman Chad.
I know gambling.
I've played blackjack and poker.
I've bet sports and horse races.
I've even hit the slot machinesat a Pahrump Nevada 7-Eleven.
You say gambling, I sayGambling Mad.
So join me on Gambling Mad withNorman Chad wherever you find

Speaker 2 (10:03):
So the climate crisis has a collective problem and
its impacts do not fall acrossus equally.
Women and girls often bear theheaviest burdens and recently,
you know you brought this to myattention, which was you know
we're always trying to sort of.
You know there's inequitieseverywhere, but how and why?
(10:25):
Why?
I think people are all, a lotof times, are trying to figure
out how.
You know, what is therelationship to me and my life,
and when you, when you, when youhit this story, you know it was
it was it makes a lot of sensethat, uh, actually scratch that.
What I want to do is kind ofwant to pass it to you, and this
way it is a little bit better.
So, hold on, let me do this.
(10:45):
I like the setup, maybe you cantake.
The UN found that inequitiesworsen.
Intimate partner violencespikes, girls are pulled from
school, daughters are marriedearly and women and girls first
to their homes.
Maybe that part of it we canset up.
So I'll so when I say thatgirls often bear the heaviest
(11:07):
burdens, and then you can say,yeah, you can just pick up the
okay okay yeah, okay, cool andthe bat.
The really horrific part of thisis women.
And girls often bear theheaviest burdens no, absolutely,
I, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I mean from, you know , partner violence, from being
married off too soon, from beingtaken out of their schools.
I mean women and girls arereally the ones that are facing
the most challenges, you know,in this time of a million
different climate crises.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And you know, I mean we're not even talking about.
Well, what, first of all, what?
What countries are we talkingabout?
And you know, I mean we're noteven talking about.
Well, first of all, whatcountries are we talking about?
And you know, is it just writlarge across the globe?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I mean, I think it's.
You know we're talking aboutmany different countries in
different areas of the world,but you know we see this a ton,
obviously, in Central EastAfrica.
We're seeing this in a lot ofthe like, bangladesh, india.
A lot of these problems, youknow, are exacerbated by the
fact that when men feelinadequate or they feel they
(12:14):
cannot take care of their familyor their pride is at stake, it
really really moves the violenceupwards, and it's always
towards their partners.
So you know, we see this in alot of different situations.
I definitely see it throughoutthe, you know, throughout the
work that I'm doing in Malawi,uganda, kenya.
Every time there's, you know, aclimate crisis or you know this
(12:38):
huge event, you have all thesetriple cascading down.
You know effects.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Which always affect women and a lot of these girls
that are, you know, in school.
They have to go back homebecause now they have to take
care of their siblings, becausemom has to get another job or
they don't have a roof anymore,so someone has to stay home and
watch the, you know, watch theproperty.
So I think it's just soimportant.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean, we hear the climate crisis conversation
constantly but I think it's soimportant to continuously talk
about these different angles andthat women and you know, girls,
who it actually really affects,Right?
Who?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
it's really affecting , because then we can start to
see some progress and change.
We can put the funding in theright buckets, we can talk to
the organizations that areworking on the ground doing this
kind of work.
So, yeah, I just, you know, Ireally I like to highlight these
because, yes, they can seemvery doom and gloom, but also we
can do something about it.
And if we direct our you know,our initiatives towards women
(13:32):
and girls, then we know we'retaking the right steps to to
help fix these climate crises.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And it's just great, even just knowing about it.
I mean it helps.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, it just helps to kind of put the reality
of it in front of us in a waythat feels like you know.
Hopefully it does indeed bringmore compassion and kindness
into the equation, somethingthat is also fascinating.
Another story we were on, whichmore than 40 of Hong Kong's
best known pro-democracy figureshave been sentenced to prison
terms of up to 10 years onsubversion charges, and the
(14:06):
biggest single blow to thecity's already shrinking
political freedoms followingBeijing's sweeping crackdown on
dissent.
All 45 defendants, includingformer high-profile lawmakers,
activists, unionists andjournalists, received prison
sentences ranging from 50 monthsto 10 years in the largest
single prosecution to date undera national security law imposed
(14:28):
by beijing four years ago.
The total prison time handedout by judges amounted to more
than 240 years.
This is, this is jailing peoplefor speaking out against their
governments in what was ademocracy that is no longer, and
(14:50):
you know bringing this up is to.
But, say we, it's a cautionarytale.
We are on a real, real slipperyslope and uh, yeah, I mean you.
You know you're.
You travel around so much aswell.
I think the Taiwan-Hong Kongside of things is going to be a
(15:13):
political piece that's used,unfortunately, in a game that we
just need to pay attention tohere, because, you know,
cracking down on dissent isgoing to be exactly what they
hope for, what the other side inour country hopes for.
This is what Beijing kind ofhopes for at a certain degree.
(15:36):
But there is A threshold.
I do believe there's athreshold where Tiananmen Square
, where the optics or therealities push back and it's
bigger than just oppression fromdictatorial governments and
things like that.
(15:57):
I don't know what's yourthoughts on it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean for starters, just
you know, I mean I've done a mestart over where you know
execution and jail time can cometo you any day.
(16:29):
You know, it's not like here.
You know where you go to aprotest.
You might get arrested, yes,but you're usually released.
You know we're not dealing withit on such a grandiose level.
Yeah, so I mean Detaining peoplefor large parts of their life,
absolutely I mean, you know,between this story and what's
going on in Afghanistan rightnow with the LGBT community, the
(16:56):
arrests and just the sheerbravery of these individuals is
what I just continue togravitate to, because they know
what's at stake.
There's no, there's no.
Oh, maybe, maybe we won't getcaught, Maybe we won't go to
like you know what you?
Oh, maybe, uh, maybe we won'tget caught, Maybe we won't go to
like you know what you're doing.
but that's how much it means tothem.
You know I mean, one of the oneof the um people that was
arrested, you know, as he wasgetting pulled away, was just
saying I love Hong Kong, youknow, and he just kept screaming
(17:16):
it from the rooftop, you know,and his mom and his family are
there.
Everyone's in tears and it'sjust, you know, we've just got
so many beautiful, passionatepeople like literally putting
their lives on the line everysingle day.
But it was also a cautionarytale.
It also makes me very nervous.
I mean, the more you speak out,the easier of a target you
become, and that's kind of thedirection I feel we're going
(17:40):
here.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So, yeah, yeah, liberal democracies all over the
world have been under attackpost pandemic, and it's why I
think it's more important nowthan ever.
Again, there's a, there's anawakening that's coming.
I don't, I get it.
A lot of people are, you know,trump wound up not winning by
that much.
Turns out it was 200 and youknow what was it?
(18:03):
273,000 across three States.
Um, and the.
The popular vote wasn't even.
It's like one of the.
You know it's down there.
It's lower than, uh, most otherelections.
Republicans who the Republicanswon.
So it's not this mandate that Ithink, that really everybody
(18:24):
thinks it is, and but the.
The reality is, if you givezero f's about the law I just
said, if you give zero fucksabout the law then what does
that look like?
And, uh, I think you knowprotest and dissent.
That's yeah, that's what wehave back in our arsenal now.
(18:49):
That's what we're going to haveto pull from.
So it is something to payattention to and something to
kind of look towards, like thoseare our brothers across the
world, even if we don't, even ifyou don't feel it in the moment
, it really is, if we don't,even if you don't feel it in the
moment it really is.
It's our brothers in fightingfor democracy and fighting for
yeah, just, you know, people'snot.
(19:09):
The surveillance state that wewhine about, and everything you
know is about to come, is aboutto come into full effect, and
we're going to see how far thatgets.
That's that gets pushed, whereprotesting, speaking out
anything like that, becomes ano-no.
Well, I'm glad we're doing ittogether, so I'm really stoked
(19:32):
about that.
All right, when we come back,compassion Corner and our new
segment with our resident Gen Zexpert, asher Freidberg, on Make
this Shit Make Sense.
Asher, we'll see you after thebreak.

No it is braggable.
It is braggable I can identifywhat parasitic infection a dog
has by seeing and smelling theirpoop, which you know when
you've rescued over 15,000animals.
I guess it kind of comes withthe territory.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Watch your feet.
Names are dropping, stats aredropping.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But the lesson here is deworming for puppies is so,
so, so important.
Yes, and so many doggy parents.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And don't let your dogs drink rain puddles?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, yeah.
Lesson two is do not let yourdogs drink rainwater, but also
so what happened with little CamCam here is that she ended up
with a Giardia infection, whichsounds really horrible, which it
can be if it's left untreated.
But we were able to get hersorted with some dewormer and
some metronidazole and life isgood.
(24:10):
She's good now.
Yeah, she's good to go.
But, as a puppy owner,something to keep in mind is,
for the first year of yourpuppy's life, deworming every
few months is the best thing youcan do for your dog.
A lot of the problems that theyhave with their stools and
diarrhea, losing weight.
You know you're trying tofigure out what's going on with
them.
It's usually a parasiticinfection and the great thing
(24:32):
about dewormer is that you canfind it at Walmart, you can get
it on Chewy, you can find itonline on Amazon.
But yeah, we just wanted tobring it to everyone's attention
.
You know, if you have a pup orif you have a dog that is around
other dogs going to differentgrasses all the time, deworming
your pups every once in a whileis a really, really good way to
keep their gut healthy and makesure they're not dealing with
(24:53):
any kind of parasitic infection.
Right, cam?
Yeah, that's right.
Thank you, anisha.
Thanks for being on the show.
Yes, cam, yes, we'll have toshow a beautiful shot of you,
since not everyone will see yourbeautiful face during this.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Look at those eyes.
All right, and as promised,that's right.
We have a new segment calledMake this Ish, make Sense, asher
.
And we're spread around.
We're spread around the studio.
Here we go from Gen X to Gen Y,millennial to Gen Z to you know
, pretty soon we'll have someGen Alphas around, cammie's Gen
(25:29):
Alpha, right.
But what astonishes me all thetime is there are these
important stories that like, oh,I don't know, aliens are now
coming out of our oceans andwe've sort of kind of confirmed
this.
And it just gets swept underthe rug because, um, I don't
know, because there's akardashian that did something or
(25:50):
because there's, uh, some sortof trendy thing that we don't
understand.
And so asher comes in withthese things all the time and
we're like I don't get it.
And so, ladies and gentlemen,mr asher friedberg, where?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
where is?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
his name Asher.
I thought it was Ashton thiswhole time.
Ashton, I know right, exactly,asher.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh, asher, look at him.
Okay, were you cleaning thefloors again?
What's happening?
Napping, I told you to use aSwiffer, not your, okay so,
asher, so this week, this isamazing.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You brought this in and we were like, no, we have to
talk about this on the show.
So please tell us, tell us, whydo we give an ish about Jaguar?
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Oh man, so first I guess we should probably show
the clip right?
Yeah, sure, let's do that,thank you.
(27:06):
Yeah, so that was the Jaguarcommercial and right now people
on the internet are very unhappy.
It's pretty much become a BudLight 2.0 situation, if you guys
remember that from like whatwas that a year or two ago?
Kid Rock, yeah, so we're kindof back in that situation.
It's an interesting commercialand I will say people are
(27:26):
choosing to believe it is theend of that.
That's all it is.
But from what we're seeing fromJaguar, this is the beginning
of some kind of marketingcampaign they're working on.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, see, that makes sense to me Because, for those
who don't know, explain it tothe people.
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
So I mean Jaguar, you know, is a very famous car
company.
They've been making luxuryvehicles since what is it God?
It'd be 1940s, 50s.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Long time ago.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Long time, long time they've been making these cars
and they are definitely pivotingright now.
They've always been a littlebit more sleek.
They've always leaned a bitmore masculine.
I mean, we see Jaguars allaround in LA here.
I mean, if you guys see thoseWaymo cars, those are Jaguars.
I didn't know that.
Oh yeah, those are Jaguars.
They just mod them up with allsorts of doohickeys and stuff so
that they don't hit people.
But look, I also think to anextent this commercial was, I
(28:15):
think it was trying to getattention.
They kind of knew what theywere doing.
That's what I was going to say,like you don't.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
it's a commercial for a car company that has no car
in it and it's all just sort ofstylized, and I think the fact
that we're even talking about itis it shows that it's
successful.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was successful and yeah it's.
It seems like a yeah for sure,a marketing plug, right tapping
into hot topics of conversation,um, buzzwords, things going on
in the world.
I, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You know, it's a beautiful commercial yeah, it's
a lot of style, it's shot well,but why is it so popular?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
why?
But also, if you're jaguar andyou're putting out messaging
like that, then I want to.
I want to see what you're aboutlike is that part of your
mission.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Mission statement like are you helping versions of
cars?
The?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
organization.
Yeah, like what?
What is the vibe and what isthe reasoning behind it?
Because otherwise to me you'rejust exploiting yeah all of
these beautiful people for yourcar that you don't even see in
the clip, which you know.
There was, like this moment atthe end where I feel like a car
could have I mean they weresitting on like a stone or
something at the end that wouldhave been a great opportunity
(29:27):
right car they, they have a plan.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
You you know if it works.
You know it remains to be seen,yeah, but they're clearly
trying to do something andthere's been a lot of comments
from various other.
You know people on Twitter whoare going to, or X, whatever you
call it.
For example, I mean Elon evenresponded saying something along
the lines of like didn't youguys used to make cars?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And they responded he's like you'll see what we're
making, they have a plan,they're doing something.
Okay, now, actually I think youjust did it Azure.
Now you're making it make sense.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Okay, so it's a plug.
It's a forecast of what's tocome Exactly.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
They're planning something we don't know what it
is yet For all we know, they'regoing to be starting a new line
of different kinds of vehicles,or it could even be style.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
What if it's not a car?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Yeah for all we know the clothes they're wearing.
That could be Jaguar clothes.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, what if it's?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
not a car.
Porsche has a clothing line,right, sure, doesn't Ferrari
have something like that?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
They do my younger brothers.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
But why are people okay?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
so I guess because Shout out to Ferrari A little
bit of shame.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But I guess the last question that I have about this
is so, since I haven't readthrough all the comments on the
commercial, why are people like?
Is it mostly that they're madthat they didn't see a car and
it's a car commercial, or isthere an undertone of something
else going on online that isreally pissing people off?
Speaker 5 (30:49):
There's for sure an undertone of other things that
are pissing people off there.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Is it because of the actors that they're using in it?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I have to assume that that's going to be a huge part
of it.
I mean, look, they're using alot of people who I know that a
good portion of the countrywould be seeing as creating some
form of statement which,frankly, I don't even know if I
could pinpoint what thestatement is in this commercial
quite yet, because it was prettyvague.
I mean, it was pretty much justshowing all these different
types of beauty.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
From what I understood, so it looked like to
me.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah, I mean look, I don't want to get too into it,
but people are going to findthings, complain about with
everything and when you have acommercial filled with a bunch
of people of different races andprobably different sexual
orientations or even differentgender identities.
People are going to find a wayto complain about it, of course,
and you know we don't knowwhere they're going with yet,
but all the comments are getting.
They're responding in real timesaying you're seeing the first
(31:35):
um brush stroke in our new stephere, pretty much then, then you
know, kudos chef's kiss right.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I feel like.
I feel like that's well donewhen, in the age where you're
trying to figure out, like, whyis this the number one most
trending thing in our?
You know in like that we'retrying to figure out what is it.
I mean it's great.
You know, I do like the factthat it doesn't make sense.
And then, at the same time, ifyou just put it out there, they
had to have known.
(32:03):
They had to be thinking thatwe're going to put this out and
it's going to cause a stir.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And they probably hired extra people to manage the
social media in real time.
They know what's up, you know.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Interesting.
I got one more real quick.
So, as you guys might know,dave Coulier of Full House was
recently diagnosed with stage 3,I want to say it was lymphoma.
Oh, wow, or at least stage 3 ofsome form of cancer and you know
it's hard on everyone.
Look, you know, as someone whohas a close family member
currently going throughchemotherapy, it's a lot for
everyone, including your familymembers and friends, sure.
(32:34):
And right now what's going onthe Internet's a little.
I think they're a little bitpeeved with John Stamos, so he's
showing his support for Dave byhe put on a bald cap.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
And I guess he used a little bit of Photoshop to make
it look better, and theInternet's a little bit divided
on it right now.
Some people are saying thatlook.
However, you're showing supportfor someone you know.
If they appreciate it that'sall that matters.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Some people think he's looking for attention.
That's that back to your pointabout people finding something
wrong with everything.
How can you be supporting yourfriend and looking for make this
make sense, asher.
Make this dish make sense, howdoes it?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
why look?
I think again, you're right,people are often looking for
something to be upset about.
But I'm also going to put mymind in the mindset of people
who are upset right now and lookpart of me is like, if you want
to show your support for yourfriend, you know there's a lot
of ways to do it right now.
If your way of showing supportis to be like, hey, I'm going to
look like you, then I thinkmaybe you should commit and
(33:29):
actually shave your head.
But also I have family memberswith cancer who would be pissed
at me if I shaved my head insolidarity with them.
So it's all a personal thing upto everybody.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
But I think a lot of people are like there's a
picture.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Yeah, that's him.
That picture looks adorableyeah they're friends.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
How cool is that You're doing that for your
friend.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Yeah, yeah, and I think, like you know, it also
comes down to like that's,that's their friendship.
We don't know how deep thatgoes.
We don't know what inside, joe,you know there could be so much
involved in that.
You know, we don't.
We don't understand and knoweverything about their
relationship and what you know,what they were talking idea.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
That's what I'm saying it could be.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Dave's idea.
It could have been, for, youknow, some reason that we don't
know.
I mean, cancer is not fun onany occasion.
So however he wants to support,I can see the other side.
Maybe people feel like heshould have gone all the way in
solidarity, shaved the wholehead.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
It just feels like the Internet needed something to
be pissed off at him about orsomething.
And yeah, that's true, that'strue.
Producer just said john stamosis known for his hair.
Yeah, yeah, that's very truethat's very true.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Literally, my father was obsessed with john stamos,
not only because he was greekwas his hair, or just john
stamos and my father rocked thathair for years.
I mean they looked Well andmaybe it won't grow back the
same in all.
You know transparency at hisage.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Well, I mean, if he were to shave his head, we don't
know what would happen to hishair, considering you know, like
you know, probably know he'sdone everything to keep that
hair perfect for the past decadeand it's working.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
He's doing a and he definitely keeps getting work,
so shout out to John.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
Today we catch up on the fight that wasn't Mike Tyson
versus Jake Paul and then wehit our animal rescue segment
Pause for Progress and hearabout Franny Fran
CompassionKind's longestresident, who was just adopted.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh, franny, fran, All right, then we talk about
climate inequities for women.
Did you know 80% of peopledisplaced by climate change are
women?
Woo, you know 80% of peopledisplaced by climate change are
women.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And then in our newest segment, Compassion
Corner, we're going to talkthrough deworming puppies with
our senior producer, Brie.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's right.
If you're new to being a mom ordad, you got to.
You know there's certain thingsthat you got to know, so we're
going to drop that and a littlelater we'll tap our resident Gen
Z correspondent, asherFreidberg, in a new segment
called Make this Ish, make Sense, where we take unexplainable
things that somehow are the mosttrending things in our world
online.
Well, at the same time, dr Ozis now in charge of your
(01:35):
Medicaid.
So yeah, sure, but first Asia,how are you?
How was your weekend, did you?
Speaker 1 (01:42):
watch the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight.
I, you know I had to watchwhich.
You know I'm not like Imentioned on the last episode,
I'm not too big into fighting.
Yeah, I live a very nonviolentlife, even when it's a sport.
It's still hard for me to watchanyone get hit or suffer.
But I suffered through this onebecause I was just too curious
and I just wanted to know.
(02:03):
One because I was just toocurious and I just wanted to
know and it was.
I mean, I think the whole timeI was saying to myself just
don't die.
No one die.
So every round, that's what Iwas saying, but I was kind of
impressed they made all eightrounds.
I didn't think that was goingto happen when I started to see
those knees moving around onTyson.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's funny there's a lot of takes on online about
this because a lot of peoplejust think that fix was in and
everything.
And I think there's probablygood reason to look at that
fight and and say that, and notthat we're aficionados at all.
It'd be actually.
I think that's the benefit toour vantage on it is that it was
kind of what I was hoping itwasn't going to be, which is
(02:45):
when you throw these big sort ofyou know, not fully fully
sanctioned fights or things likethat, where there's just a lot
of money involved.
Tyson, it was like there wereseveral times where, if you've
seen him train, you're like,yeah, that he wasn't bringing
what he brought to training tothe fight, and so there's good
reason to kind of say you knowand who knows anymore?
I mean, I don't even know what.
(03:06):
What is up, what is down, it's,it's hard to tell.
But I'm with you, it was like Iwas expecting a little bit more
.
I think a lot of people wereand it was, you know, even at
only two minutes instead ofthree minutes around.
It was like it was.
You would hope that that wouldbe more explosive and for some
reason it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
yeah, it was.
It was kind of, you know, youknow that game, it was like back
when I was a kid.
I'm probably aging myself here,but yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
What was it?
Sockenpabra?
Rock'em, sock'em.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Rock'em, sock'em.
Yeah, they're just like goinglike this and it's just like
tick for tack, tick for tack.
But it was just very like chill.
There was really no big moment.
But also I felt like Tysonreally couldn't get a punch in
because Jake Paul is just somuch taller and like his arms
are so long.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So I don't know.
I feel like Tyson could have hecould have.
Yeah, it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Now, if it was completely staged, of course,
Like, if they already had theoutcomes.
I mean $80 million on the table.
What more?
But, I will say I'm stillreally upset about the fight
before that.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Oh, my God, I know, I was going to bring.
Thank you for bringing that up.
That was.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Make that one make sense to me, please.
Serrano won.
Serrano won period.
Period Hands down the board hadthe numbers on it Right.
Can someone explain to me howthose numbers being higher for
Serrano meant that she loses?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, no, that's a great question.
I haven't even seen that.
I haven't seen that online.
If you have a theory on why,because she got ripped off the
first time.
That was the reason why.
To have this fight now and tohave the same thing kind of
happen again it was like youweren't watching the same fight
(04:49):
and again, please, now, and tohave the same thing kind of
happen again it was like youweren't watching the same fight
and again, please, leave it inthe comments, let us, let us
know how, what your, what yourtake is on that, because again,
it makes me just think that,like what can we trust?
Speaker 1 (04:54):
you know what can you bank on, yeah it's like sport
is supposed to be, like thisbeacon of fairness and you know,
and then that that fight, justI mean and and missing one point
, she got one point deducted forthat headbutt right, one right,
and she does it every time likeit's, like her token move,
which is not and it was allowed.
Yeah, yeah so, yeah, that wasvery upsetting.
(05:15):
And again, puerto rico gettinganother smack in the face you
know it's just every time.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I mean jake paul's already from there.
That's a bad enough smack inthe face, right there, right.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
That when he announced where he was coming
from, I was like but originallyfrom Cincinnati.
I'm just putting that out there.
Hey, you know, that's the wayit goes down.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
We introduced a segment a couple weeks back
called Pause for Progress, whichis really, really it's near and
dear to not only our hearts butsort of everybody, all of our
clients and all of our customersand things like that and uh.
So please update us on onfranny and the compassion kind's
longest, longest livingresident who was just adopted.
(05:55):
Come on, that's cool.
Come on, give me, give me thegoods, give me the good yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
So I mean this, this is so big that I don't even
think that I've let it like sinkin, really yeah um, but before
so franny was a foster of mineand that's because she was.
Probably one of our is so bigthat I don't even think that
I've let it like sink in reallyyeah, but before.
So Franny was a foster of mineand that's because she was
probably one of our mostmisunderstood dogs Came off a
little.
You know big pity comes off alittle aggressive with new folks
but really she just needs toget to know you hear your voice.
(06:20):
Kind of get used to her.
You know new surroundings.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
But anyways, Franny has been with us since Hurricane
Laura, which was back inSeptember of 2020.
Wow, so we've had Franny forfour years and she's just been
sitting in foster care waitingfor her forever family.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Pandy baby.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I mean, yeah, and she's just the sweetest little
girl ever.
I completely adored her.
She was my foster for a verylong time and when I moved, it
was my biggest fear of what Iwas going to do with Franny when
I left Florida.
Oh, wow.
And one of my friends steppedup, hey, and she decided to
adopt her and we made herofficial yesterday, which is, I
(06:59):
mean, you know, you fight andyou fight every day for these
kind of things to happen.
I never thought Franny wasgoing to get adopted.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So big, big, big news for us that's a big, big W and
you know, one of the things wewanted to do with the show kind
of where we're sitting now isalso deal with things that
everybody can agree on.
You know, and everybody canagree on, getting Franny a
forever home is really reallyreally dope.
You know what is next as far asand pause for progress and what
(07:34):
is your biggest challenge thatyou have right now on deck.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I mean, I think the biggest challenge for us right
now is the big F, which isfunding.
Is the big F which is funding.
We've, you know we've I meansince COVID we've seen a decline
in donations but really andespecially expanding into the
Los Angeles area.
You know this is a whole newarena for us.
So we're still in this, youknow, transition phase of
(07:59):
finding the vets we want to workwith, finding fosters.
But yeah, really the fundinghas been tough lately because
we've had so many crazy cases, Imean dogs hit by cars and
abandoned dogs shot in the back.
We've had a couple cases wherewe need, like amputations and
it's just, it's very, very, verycostly.
So you know, those have beenour biggest struggles.
(08:22):
But also I'm very hopeful andexcited to be in the LA area.
There's, you know, such a hugeour biggest struggles.
But also I'm very hopeful andexcited to be in the LA area.
There's, you know, such a hugeneed for rescue here which
really surprised me.
But I feel like we've kind oflike, found our niche here, so
hopefully the funding willfollow, but you know there's a
lot of work to be done in thisarea, which inspires me, you
know.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
If people want to get involved or be able to help, um
, you know how can they do.
How can they do that?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I mean so many ways, but you can first stop is
compassion, kindorg.
You can learn more about us.
All of our links are there.
You can find us on social mediaall the instagrams, facebook's,
tiktoks, we've got them all atcompassion kind at compassion
kind yeah, across the board, andwe'll even have the links in
our show notes.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
So, yeah, that's great, matt.
Well props, and you know we'lltake the W anywhere we can get
it, and that's a big one yeahthat's a big one, so
congratulations, thank you.
All.
Right, when we come back, we'regoing to hit on how climate
change in this sort of newuncharted territory that we're
entering into, how itdisproportionately affects women
(09:26):
, and why this is something thatwe need to pay attention to
together.
So we'll see you after thebreak.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Gambling is part of the culture of America Since
even before we were America.
I'm Norman Chad.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
So the climate crisis has a collective problem and
its impacts do not fall acrossus equally.
Women and girls often bear theheaviest burdens and recently,
you know you brought this to myattention, which was you know
we're always trying to sort of.
You know there's inequitieseverywhere, but how and why?
(10:25):
Why?
I think people are all, a lotof times, are trying to figure
out how.
You know, what is therelationship to me and my life,
and when you, when you, when youhit this story, you know it was
it was it makes a lot of sensethat, uh, actually scratch that.
What I want to do is kind ofwant to pass it to you, and this
way it is a little bit better.
So, hold on, let me do this.
(10:45):
I like the setup, maybe you cantake.
The UN found that inequitiesworsen.
Intimate partner violencespikes, girls are pulled from
school, daughters are marriedearly and women and girls first
to their homes.
Maybe that part of it we canset up.
So I'll so when I say thatgirls often bear the heaviest
(11:07):
burdens, and then you can say,yeah, you can just pick up the
okay okay yeah, okay, cool andthe bat.
The really horrific part of thisis women.
And girls often bear theheaviest burdens no, absolutely,
I, absolutely.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
I mean from, you know , partner violence, from being
married off too soon, from beingtaken out of their schools.
I mean women and girls arereally the ones that are facing
the most challenges, you know,in this time of a million
different climate crises.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And you know, I mean we're not even talking about.
Well, what, first of all, what?
What countries are we talkingabout?
And you know, I mean we're noteven talking about.
Well, first of all, whatcountries are we talking about?
And you know, is it just writlarge across the globe?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I mean, I think it's.
You know we're talking aboutmany different countries in
different areas of the world,but you know we see this a ton,
obviously, in Central EastAfrica.
We're seeing this in a lot ofthe like, bangladesh, india.
A lot of these problems, youknow, are exacerbated by the
fact that when men feelinadequate or they feel they
(12:14):
cannot take care of their familyor their pride is at stake, it
really really moves the violenceupwards, and it's always
towards their partners.
So you know, we see this in alot of different situations.
I definitely see it throughoutthe, you know, throughout the
work that I'm doing in Malawi,uganda, kenya.
Every time there's, you know, aclimate crisis or you know this
(12:38):
huge event, you have all thesetriple cascading down.
You know effects.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Which always affect women and a lot of these girls
that are, you know, in school.
They have to go back homebecause now they have to take
care of their siblings, becausemom has to get another job or
they don't have a roof anymore,so someone has to stay home and
watch the, you know, watch theproperty.
So I think it's just soimportant.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I mean, we hear the climate crisis conversation
constantly but I think it's soimportant to continuously talk
about these different angles andthat women and you know, girls,
who it actually really affects,Right?
Who?
Speaker 1 (13:10):
it's really affecting , because then we can start to
see some progress and change.
We can put the funding in theright buckets, we can talk to
the organizations that areworking on the ground doing this
kind of work.
So, yeah, I just, you know, Ireally I like to highlight these
because, yes, they can seemvery doom and gloom, but also we
can do something about it.
And if we direct our you know,our initiatives towards women
(13:32):
and girls, then we know we'retaking the right steps to to
help fix these climate crises.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And it's just great, even just knowing about it.
I mean it helps.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
You know, it just helps to kind of put the reality
of it in front of us in a waythat feels like you know.
Hopefully it does indeed bringmore compassion and kindness
into the equation, somethingthat is also fascinating.
Another story we were on, whichmore than 40 of Hong Kong's
best known pro-democracy figureshave been sentenced to prison
terms of up to 10 years onsubversion charges, and the
(14:06):
biggest single blow to thecity's already shrinking
political freedoms followingBeijing's sweeping crackdown on
dissent.
All 45 defendants, includingformer high-profile lawmakers,
activists, unionists andjournalists, received prison
sentences ranging from 50 monthsto 10 years in the largest
single prosecution to date undera national security law imposed
(14:28):
by beijing four years ago.
The total prison time handedout by judges amounted to more
than 240 years.
This is, this is jailing peoplefor speaking out against their
governments in what was ademocracy that is no longer, and
(14:50):
you know bringing this up is to.
But, say we, it's a cautionarytale.
We are on a real, real slipperyslope and uh, yeah, I mean you.
You know you're.
You travel around so much aswell.
I think the Taiwan-Hong Kongside of things is going to be a
(15:13):
political piece that's used,unfortunately, in a game that we
just need to pay attention tohere, because, you know,
cracking down on dissent isgoing to be exactly what they
hope for, what the other side inour country hopes for.
This is what Beijing kind ofhopes for at a certain degree.
(15:36):
But there is A threshold.
I do believe there's athreshold where Tiananmen Square
, where the optics or therealities push back and it's
bigger than just oppression fromdictatorial governments and
things like that.
(15:57):
I don't know what's yourthoughts on it.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean for starters, just
you know, I mean I've done a mestart over where you know
execution and jail time can cometo you any day.
(16:29):
You know, it's not like here.
You know where you go to aprotest.
You might get arrested, yes,but you're usually released.
You know we're not dealing withit on such a grandiose level.
Yeah, so I mean Detaining peoplefor large parts of their life,
absolutely I mean, you know,between this story and what's
going on in Afghanistan rightnow with the LGBT community, the
(16:56):
arrests and just the sheerbravery of these individuals is
what I just continue togravitate to, because they know
what's at stake.
There's no, there's no.
Oh, maybe, maybe we won't getcaught, Maybe we won't go to
like you know what you?
Oh, maybe, uh, maybe we won'tget caught, Maybe we won't go to
like you know what you're doing.
but that's how much it means tothem.
You know I mean, one of the oneof the um people that was
arrested, you know, as he wasgetting pulled away, was just
saying I love Hong Kong, youknow, and he just kept screaming
(17:16):
it from the rooftop, you know,and his mom and his family are
there.
Everyone's in tears and it'sjust, you know, we've just got
so many beautiful, passionatepeople like literally putting
their lives on the line everysingle day.
But it was also a cautionarytale.
It also makes me very nervous.
I mean, the more you speak out,the easier of a target you
become, and that's kind of thedirection I feel we're going
(17:40):
here.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So, yeah, yeah, liberal democracies all over the
world have been under attackpost pandemic, and it's why I
think it's more important nowthan ever.
Again, there's a, there's anawakening that's coming.
I don't, I get it.
A lot of people are, you know,trump wound up not winning by
that much.
Turns out it was 200 and youknow what was it?
(18:03):
273,000 across three States.
Um, and the.
The popular vote wasn't even.
It's like one of the.
You know it's down there.
It's lower than, uh, most otherelections.
Republicans who the Republicanswon.
So it's not this mandate that Ithink, that really everybody
(18:24):
thinks it is, and but the.
The reality is, if you givezero f's about the law I just
said, if you give zero fucksabout the law then what does
that look like?
And, uh, I think you knowprotest and dissent.
That's yeah, that's what wehave back in our arsenal now.
(18:49):
That's what we're going to haveto pull from.
So it is something to payattention to and something to
kind of look towards, like thoseare our brothers across the
world, even if we don't, even ifyou don't feel it in the moment
, it really is, if we don't,even if you don't feel it in the
moment it really is.
It's our brothers in fightingfor democracy and fighting for
yeah, just, you know, people'snot.
(19:09):
The surveillance state that wewhine about, and everything you
know is about to come, is aboutto come into full effect, and
we're going to see how far thatgets.
That's that gets pushed, whereprotesting, speaking out
anything like that, becomes ano-no.
Well, I'm glad we're doing ittogether, so I'm really stoked
(19:32):
about that.
All right, when we come back,compassion Corner and our new
segment with our resident Gen Zexpert, asher Freidberg, on Make
this Shit Make Sense.

the show in studio the one andonly Cammy Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
How are you, cammy?
How are you?
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Doing pretty good.
Can we get some grunts?
Speaker 2 (20:58):
For those of you that are listening right now,
because this is an audio mediumCammy, our breeze, gorgeous
six-month old, pity, and what doyou call it?
It's a pity in what it's like abulldog.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Asia's guessing she might have some bully in her.
They said she was American PitBull Terrier.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
American Pit Bull Terrier.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
She has something else in there.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yeah Well, what's cool is we realized Breeze's a
American Pit Bull Terrier.
American Pit Bull Terrier shehas something else in there.
Yeah Well, what's cool is werealized Bree's a new parent and
it comes with a host of thingsthat they don't teach you in
school.
So luckily we have the residentteacher supreme here with us,
miss Asia Nakia.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
Luckily, my best friend is a vet.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Yeah, so my best friend is a vet and you're yeah
luckily your best friend is a isa vet, exactly, so no, but it
comes down to, uh, you know,because, like deworming.
I didn't know about that, yeah,when I was a new dad on with a
dog?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
yeah, tell me, so spit it out well, I mean tell,
tell the folks what happened.
You came in one day.
Let's, let's backtrack.
This is how compassion cornercame to be, so.
So give it to us brie, tell uswhat happened so asia came into
work one day.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I was already having a little bit of trouble with
cammy, but uh, soon as asiawalked in, all we we just heard
this like and we all look overand Cammie's just releasing
Lifted up about a foot and ahalf off the ground.
Releasing is what I'll say.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, it was projectile.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Yeah, that was.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Like a rocket liftoff .
Speaker 4 (22:36):
I didn't even know a dog could do that.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, it was an impressive shootout, honestly.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
So yeah, Asia, and Cammie is eating the mic now
because she doesn't want to hearthis story anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I'm embarrassed.
I'm embarrassed.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
But she's good.
Now she's fixed because AuntAsia, from across the room,
could smell the poop, Apparentlyknew exactly what the smell was
and, yeah, I'll let you take itfrom there.
Yeah, I mean.
So you know that's a gangsterpedigree right, there it is.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
I will say that I have a nose for poops and it's a
gift.
I wouldn't brag about that.
No it is braggable.
It is braggable I can identifywhat parasitic infection a dog
has by seeing and smelling theirpoop, which you know when
you've rescued over 15,000animals.
I guess it kind of comes withthe territory.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Watch your feet.
Names are dropping, stats aredropping.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But the lesson here is deworming for puppies is so,
so, so important.
Yes, and so many doggy parents.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
And don't let your dogs drink rain puddles?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yes, yeah.
Lesson two is do not let yourdogs drink rainwater, but also
so what happened with little CamCam here is that she ended up
with a Giardia infection, whichsounds really horrible, which it
can be if it's left untreated.
But we were able to get hersorted with some dewormer and
some metronidazole and life isgood.
(24:10):
She's good now.
Yeah, she's good to go.
But, as a puppy owner,something to keep in mind is,
for the first year of yourpuppy's life, deworming every
few months is the best thing youcan do for your dog.
A lot of the problems that theyhave with their stools and
diarrhea, losing weight.
You know you're trying tofigure out what's going on with
them.
It's usually a parasiticinfection and the great thing
(24:32):
about dewormer is that you canfind it at Walmart, you can get
it on Chewy, you can find itonline on Amazon.
But yeah, we just wanted tobring it to everyone's attention
.
You know, if you have a pup orif you have a dog that is around
other dogs going to differentgrasses all the time, deworming
your pups every once in a whileis a really, really good way to
keep their gut healthy and makesure they're not dealing with
(24:53):
any kind of parasitic infection.
Right, cam?
Yeah, that's right.
Thank you, anisha.
Thanks for being on the show.
Yes, cam, yes, we'll have toshow a beautiful shot of you,
since not everyone will see yourbeautiful face during this.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Look at those eyes.
All right, and as promised,that's right.
We have a new segment calledMake this Ish, make Sense, asher
.
And we're spread around.
We're spread around the studio.
Here we go from Gen X to Gen Y,millennial to Gen Z to you know
, pretty soon we'll have someGen Alphas around, cammie's Gen
(25:29):
Alpha, right.
But what astonishes me all thetime is there are these
important stories that like, oh,I don't know, aliens are now
coming out of our oceans andwe've sort of kind of confirmed
this.
And it just gets swept underthe rug because, um, I don't
know, because there's akardashian that did something or
(25:50):
because there's, uh, some sortof trendy thing that we don't
understand.
And so asher comes in withthese things all the time and
we're like I don't get it.
And so, ladies and gentlemen,mr asher friedberg, where?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
where is?
Speaker 2 (26:04):
his name Asher.
I thought it was Ashton thiswhole time.
Ashton, I know right, exactly,asher.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Oh, asher, look at him.
Okay, were you cleaning thefloors again?
What's happening?
Napping, I told you to use aSwiffer, not your, okay so,
asher, so this week, this isamazing.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
You brought this in and we were like, no, we have to
talk about this on the show.
So please tell us, tell us, whydo we give an ish about Jaguar?
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Oh man, so first I guess we should probably show
the clip right?
Yeah, sure, let's do that,thank you.
(27:06):
Yeah, so that was the Jaguarcommercial and right now people
on the internet are very unhappy.
It's pretty much become a BudLight 2.0 situation, if you guys
remember that from like whatwas that a year or two ago?
Kid Rock, yeah, so we're kindof back in that situation.
It's an interesting commercialand I will say people are
(27:26):
choosing to believe it is theend of that.
That's all it is.
But from what we're seeing fromJaguar, this is the beginning
of some kind of marketingcampaign they're working on.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Well, see, that makes sense to me Because, for those
who don't know, explain it tothe people.
Go ahead.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
So I mean Jaguar, you know, is a very famous car
company.
They've been making luxuryvehicles since what is it God?
It'd be 1940s, 50s.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Long time ago.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Long time, long time they've been making these cars
and they are definitely pivotingright now.
They've always been a littlebit more sleek.
They've always leaned a bitmore masculine.
I mean, we see Jaguars allaround in LA here.
I mean, if you guys see thoseWaymo cars, those are Jaguars.
I didn't know that.
Oh yeah, those are Jaguars.
They just mod them up with allsorts of doohickeys and stuff so
that they don't hit people.
But look, I also think to anextent this commercial was, I
(28:15):
think it was trying to getattention.
They kind of knew what theywere doing.
That's what I was going to say,like you don't.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
it's a commercial for a car company that has no car
in it and it's all just sort ofstylized, and I think the fact
that we're even talking about itis it shows that it's
successful.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
It was successful and yeah it's.
It seems like a yeah for sure,a marketing plug, right tapping
into hot topics of conversation,um, buzzwords, things going on
in the world.
I, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
You know, it's a beautiful commercial yeah, it's
a lot of style, it's shot well,but why is it so popular?
Speaker 1 (28:52):
why?
But also, if you're jaguar andyou're putting out messaging
like that, then I want to.
I want to see what you're aboutlike is that part of your
mission.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Mission statement like are you helping versions of
cars?
The?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
organization.
Yeah, like what?
What is the vibe and what isthe reasoning behind it?
Because otherwise to me you'rejust exploiting yeah all of
these beautiful people for yourcar that you don't even see in
the clip, which you know.
There was, like this moment atthe end where I feel like a car
could have I mean they weresitting on like a stone or
something at the end that wouldhave been a great opportunity
(29:27):
right car they, they have a plan.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
You you know if it works.
You know it remains to be seen,yeah, but they're clearly
trying to do something andthere's been a lot of comments
from various other.
You know people on Twitter whoare going to, or X, whatever you
call it.
For example, I mean Elon evenresponded saying something along
the lines of like didn't youguys used to make cars?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
And they responded he's like you'll see what we're
making, they have a plan,they're doing something.
Okay, now, actually I think youjust did it Azure.
Now you're making it make sense.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Okay, so it's a plug.
It's a forecast of what's tocome Exactly.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
They're planning something we don't know what it
is yet For all we know, they'regoing to be starting a new line
of different kinds of vehicles,or it could even be style.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
What if it's not a car?
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Yeah for all we know the clothes they're wearing.
That could be Jaguar clothes.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Yeah, what if it's?
Speaker 2 (30:18):
not a car.
Porsche has a clothing line,right, sure, doesn't Ferrari
have something like that?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
They do my younger brothers.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
But why are people okay?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
so I guess because Shout out to Ferrari A little
bit of shame.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
But I guess the last question that I have about this
is so, since I haven't readthrough all the comments on the
commercial, why are people like?
Is it mostly that they're madthat they didn't see a car and
it's a car commercial, or isthere an undertone of something
else going on online that isreally pissing people off?
Speaker 5 (30:49):
There's for sure an undertone of other things that
are pissing people off there.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Is it because of the actors that they're using in it?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
I have to assume that that's going to be a huge part
of it.
I mean, look, they're using alot of people who I know that a
good portion of the countrywould be seeing as creating some
form of statement which,frankly, I don't even know if I
could pinpoint what thestatement is in this commercial
quite yet, because it was prettyvague.
I mean, it was pretty much justshowing all these different
types of beauty.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
From what I understood, so it looked like to
me.
Speaker 5 (31:14):
Yeah, I mean look, I don't want to get too into it,
but people are going to findthings, complain about with
everything and when you have acommercial filled with a bunch
of people of different races andprobably different sexual
orientations or even differentgender identities.
People are going to find a wayto complain about it, of course,
and you know we don't knowwhere they're going with yet,
but all the comments are getting.
They're responding in real timesaying you're seeing the first
(31:35):
um brush stroke in our new stephere, pretty much then, then you
know, kudos chef's kiss right.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
I feel like.
I feel like that's well donewhen, in the age where you're
trying to figure out, like, whyis this the number one most
trending thing in our?
You know in like that we'retrying to figure out what is it.
I mean it's great.
You know, I do like the factthat it doesn't make sense.
And then, at the same time, ifyou just put it out there, they
had to have known.
(32:03):
They had to be thinking thatwe're going to put this out and
it's going to cause a stir.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
And they probably hired extra people to manage the
social media in real time.
They know what's up, you know.
Speaker 5 (32:14):
Interesting.
I got one more real quick.
So, as you guys might know,dave Coulier of Full House was
recently diagnosed with stage 3,I want to say it was lymphoma.
Oh, wow, or at least stage 3 ofsome form of cancer and you know
it's hard on everyone.
Look, you know, as someone whohas a close family member
currently going throughchemotherapy, it's a lot for
everyone, including your familymembers and friends, sure.
(32:34):
And right now what's going onthe Internet's a little.
I think they're a little bitpeeved with John Stamos, so he's
showing his support for Dave byhe put on a bald cap.
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (32:45):
And I guess he used a little bit of Photoshop to make
it look better, and theInternet's a little bit divided
on it right now.
Some people are saying thatlook.
However, you're showing supportfor someone you know.
If they appreciate it that'sall that matters.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Some people think he's looking for attention.
That's that back to your pointabout people finding something
wrong with everything.
How can you be supporting yourfriend and looking for make this
make sense, asher.
Make this dish make sense, howdoes it?
Speaker 5 (33:08):
why look?
I think again, you're right,people are often looking for
something to be upset about.
But I'm also going to put mymind in the mindset of people
who are upset right now and lookpart of me is like, if you want
to show your support for yourfriend, you know there's a lot
of ways to do it right now.
If your way of showing supportis to be like, hey, I'm going to
look like you, then I thinkmaybe you should commit and
(33:29):
actually shave your head.
But also I have family memberswith cancer who would be pissed
at me if I shaved my head insolidarity with them.
So it's all a personal thing upto everybody.

We don't know what inside, joe,you know there could be so much
involved in that.
You know, we don't.
We don't understand and knoweverything about their
relationship and what you know,what they were talking idea.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
That's what I'm saying it could be.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
Dave's idea.
It could have been, for, youknow, some reason that we don't
know.
I mean, cancer is not fun onany occasion.
So however he wants to support,I can see the other side.
Maybe people feel like heshould have gone all the way in
solidarity, shaved the wholehead.

be pissed off at him about orsomething.
