Norah and Dad intended to talk about pets, but it went down a gross rabbit hole that led to a discussion mostly about vomit. Sorry.

Transcript

Dad: 0:00

Hey, Nora,

Norah: 0:00

Hi, dad,

Dad: 0:01

what are we talking about this week?

Norah: 0:03

about pets smells like dog vomit, and my room has a great opener.

Dad: 0:24

So why does it smell like dog vomit? I mean, let me rephrase. that. I can guess why it smells like dog vomit in your room, but why don't you let the listeners know? why it is that your room might smell like dog?

Norah: 0:36

So we have a dog. His name is Dante. We have two

Dad: 0:39

Excuse me. We have two dogs. You have, you, you have a dog whose feelings when she listens to this, when she puts those little, apple earbuds in her, little doggy ears, she's going to be very upset

Norah: 0:51

Okay. But the one

Dad: 0:52

we have, we have one dog.

Norah: 0:55

for the one, there is a one who is responsible for the smell of the dog vomit that's Dante, and he sleeps the Miriam. And,

Dad: 1:03

And what kind of dog has

Norah: 1:04

uh, they're both visualise. I see, I'm not going to forget Lula this time

Dad: 1:08

and the other one is Lula. Right. And Dante is how old.

Norah: 1:10

And, Lula's nine, um, back to the vomit, um,

Dad: 1:14

why does wait a minute? And why, does Dante sleep in your room?

Norah: 1:18

cause I bet for a dog.

Dad: 1:20

Yes, you begged, you begged you didn't just beg for a dog. You, like next to the dinner table, like paws off the floor, panting, like crazy, please, please, please, please, please, please, please. Please. Can I have a dog and who was the holdout? Yeah, I was the holdout and I finally gave in,

Norah: 1:41

and he's a beautiful dog. Isn't he?

Dad: 1:43

he's a beautiful animal and he has a lovely heart and he's just 55 pounds of just Hungarian pointer. Love. He's a great dog. but you think he vomited in uranium

Norah: 1:55

I'm scared to check. So I woke up in the middle of the night? and I feel like,

Dad: 2:01

Oh, well, that may be clue. One that the dog yakked in your room. Jesus, Nora, you're just getting into this now. It was like it's eight o'clock at night, the next night. And you're just getting to, maybe when I woke up in the middle of the night and Dante was like hacking up, maybe he yacked in his crate and oh, by the way, it stinks in my room. Like dog vomit.

Norah: 2:19

And then I was like, shut up and then I went back to sleep. So Maybe he threw up.

Dad: 2:26

Maybe D do you want to go check and I can entertain the audience while you

Norah: 2:29

I'll go check

Dad: 2:30

and then, cause this is, this is really exciting now because now everybody's going to find out like, Hey, did, Dante

Norah: 2:37

and I'll put your guesses in.

Dad: 2:39

Nora is walking over to the dog crate. Oh, and that's a big old, yes,

Norah: 2:47

there's a lot of vomit.

Dad: 2:49

Oh

Norah: 2:50

Oh, did it get in the carpet? Wait, let me go check it out on the carpet. It's a lot. It's not on the carpet

Dad: 2:56

just in his car.

Norah: 2:58

when yeah. So we'll have to put it in the wash.

Dad: 3:00

Yeah. We'll have also do that when we get off the pod here. Yeah. I told your mom that may be a chewy at 10 o'clock last night. Wasn't the best

Norah: 3:07

He already had one. I, gave him on when he got home.

Dad: 3:11

I know, I know. I know. I know. But then they bag and then it's like, oh, we'll give them one more. But then usually

Norah: 3:17

And then I get woke up in the middle of the night.

Dad: 3:22

yeah, because you are the one who wanted the dog. So that's why you deal with the dog vomit and it's good. It's good practice for parenting pets are wonderful. Like practice children. I had a practice child before I had to practice children before you. I had flyer,

Norah: 3:36

you had Zoe.

Dad: 3:37

flyer my beagle, who I had when I graduated law school. And then. Uh, died right before your mom and I got married and then Zoe, who we had to put down. Right. Um, you were like

Norah: 3:48

I was not at Lakeridge

Dad: 3:50

were, you were for, cause it was right before Donovan's, surgery. So you were four and yeah. And so, but my point is that pets are wonderful. Practice animals are practice children, and at some point you will have children of

Norah: 4:05

How do you know

Dad: 4:06

And, and, and do you know what children.

Norah: 4:09

They vomit,

Dad: 4:10

They vomit, you know, where they vomit on moms and dads. That's where they vomit

Norah: 4:16

I'd rather, I'd rather Dante Vama on me than vomit in his crate because that's

Dad: 4:21

Other pro other other pro tip for when you're a parent, they don't like it. When you put your children in crazy.

Norah: 4:28

Oh, that's a crypto for.

Dad: 4:30

They frowned upon putting children in crates. And so you won't ever have to worry about your child throwing up in a crate because your child won't be in a

Norah: 4:37

I also won't give my children raw hides at 10 o'clock though.

Dad: 4:40

Hopefully you're not giving them raw hides at all.

Norah: 4:43

No, I gave him every time, except for 10

Dad: 4:45

be, that would be very, very, very bad. So anyway, so Dante sleeps in your room, Dante throws up in your room. What is it that you, like about having pets?

Norah: 4:57

They're pretty cool.

Dad: 5:00

That's it? They're, they're pretty, they're pretty

Norah: 5:03

fun when I'm very stressed. I let Dante out. Oh, I shouldn't be telling you this. If I'm having a bad night, sometimes let him sleep in my bed. Um, so that's nice. Cause he's like a pillow. He like lays on the pillows and like, not like nuzzles his head on my shoulder. Um, I don't know. They're pretty cute. They're level. They're dogs.

Dad: 5:27

Yay

Norah: 5:27

Yeah, they're fun.

Dad: 5:32

They can do tricks and they can you talk Dante some good, true.

Norah: 5:36

yeah, He doesn't remember some of them Lula doesn't know anything. She knows sit and that's about it. And she knows she knows dance and she knows Paul.

Dad: 5:46

yeah. Dante can do what he does. Bang bang,

Norah: 5:49

can do, I can name all the things he does. Sit. He's really good at set. He's really good at stay. He's very good at down. Um, he knows search when you play hide and Go seek. He knows. Okay. Which is like, if he's like sitting, that means he doesn't deficit anymore. Um, he knows calm. Um, he knows bang, bang and you know, sit pretty and he knows rollover And sometimes he knows wait occasion. Yeah,

Dad: 6:17

he knows

Norah: 6:18

he has no hug

Dad: 6:19

as we tell him, because if you ask for a hug, he'll jump up with this giant meaty paws of his and throw them around your neck and give you a huge

Norah: 6:26

And what else does he know? He knows we didn't teach him that. He kind of just learned it, um, you know, gentle, which like it's like when I'm giving him like treats, we'll tell him to be gentle. She doesn't like bite my fingers off. he knows he'll occasionally when he wants.

Dad: 6:45

I know he does that well on his

Norah: 6:47

When you have the color on him? Oh, not

Dad: 6:50

No, no, no, no, You just say Dante he'll and he just snaps right too. He might lose it like three seconds

Norah: 6:56

Oh, okay. Yeah.

Dad: 6:57

when you say it. No, it works. When you say it, he just mentioned to say it over and over and over and over again, like a broken record. Can you teach him that don't yak and your crate command is at one you can work on.

Norah: 7:08

I can teach mom the command. Don't give him rawhides at 10 o'clock at night.

Dad: 7:13

Are there, are there giant chunks of raw heightened?

Norah: 7:16

I don't know, I just saw like wet spots and it's like, it's vomit.

Dad: 8:50

How crabby was I when you woke me up?

Norah: 8:52

You were very mad.

Dad: 8:59

Your dog, your

Norah: 8:59

You paid for it. So I guess technically your

Dad: 9:01

I listen,

Norah: 9:03

this that's, that's the rule you use for everything else you say I paid for it. So I don't know.

Dad: 9:07

Norah: 9:23

smells like air freshener and puke. Now

Dad: 9:25

All right, so let's do this. Why don't we thank everyone for listening so we can get the pukey smell out of

Norah: 9:32

we need to put a trigger warning on this episode for people who don't like vomit.

Dad: 9:37

Yeah. What's that fear of vomit? What's that called?

Norah: 9:40
