What Makes A Perfect Pet: Loyalty, Laughs, Or Wings with a Jungle Bird

A single sip can change the story you’re telling. We start with a Jungle Bird inspired by Skipper Canteen—rum deepened with a touch of 151, Campari softened with Aperol, pineapple and lime bringing a bright finish that somehow reads like grapefruit. It’s balanced, unexpected, and the perfect metaphor for the episode: a playful idea with a smart backbone.

Then we draft the Disney pets we’d actually live with, and the criteria get real. Maximus brings big dog energy in a horse frame, while Pascal proves that pocket-sized can still be prime company. Dory sparks a hilarious but honest take on pet practicality. Hey Hey guarantees laughter through chaos, and Abu becomes the ultimate snack heist partner who’s handy at ballparks and grocery aisles. Pluto anchors the list as the proven companion we all know, and Remy flips the script on household duty—imagine a five-star kitchen run by a genius chef who fits under a toque, possible cousins and all.

When we talk protection and presence, Raja stands tall as emotional support tiger, and Kenai raises good questions about wildness and trust. Stitch earns his spot on loyalty alone, especially post-mayhem. Doug from Up reminds us why we love dogs: pure heart, open honesty, and conversations that actually talk back. Pegasus shows up for personality and transportation—your commute has never looked better—and Cusco’s llama sarcasm keeps the house lively. We close with Nana from Peter Pan, the quiet MVP who brings care, order, and tenderness when it’s needed most.

If you love Disney, cocktails, and the kind of ranking game that reveals what really matters at home—laughter, loyalty, and a bit of magic—this one’s for you. Hit play, then tell us your top three dream Disney roommates. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a loyal Doug or a chef named Remy, and leave a quick review to help more fans find the show.

SPEAKER_01: 0:40

Okay. Hello and welcome to Cheers2ears. Where today we're drinking on a jungle bird from Skipper Canteen at Magic Kingdom Park. And it is made with gosling black seal rum, compare liqueur, cane syrup, and pineapple and lime juices. And it's$16.50, Aaron. Disney reasonable.

SPEAKER_00: 1:04

Yeah, Disney good. So we made it with two ounces of gosling's black rum, which we ran out. We had about two and a half ounces of that rum left. So we did 151. A little more kick. Three quarters of an ounce of simple syrup, 1.5 ounces of pineapple juice, half an ounce of lime juice. And then again, we had to mix Kampari with Aperol, which Kampari is a little sweeter, but we had three quarters of an ounce of Kampari, which we did. We made one big batch, and we did so we did half Kampari, half Aperol. Right. So because it was 1.5 ounces total. But it made a darn good drink.

SPEAKER_01: 1:48

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 1:49

So darn good drink.

SPEAKER_01: 1:50

Darn good drink. And this is the first episode we've had that having the burger in the background makes sense.

SPEAKER_00: 1:57

Yes. If only the dogs would start barking.

SPEAKER_01: 2:01

Right. So don't worry, they will.

SPEAKER_00: 2:04

This is a good one.

SPEAKER_01: 2:05

Yeah, this is a very good drink. I just, it's like so many punches we've had over time. We've had lots of different tropical drinks.

SPEAKER_00: 2:14

Lots of tropical drinks.

SPEAKER_01: 2:15

This one is like more sophisticated.

SPEAKER_00: 2:17

It is. So not only in its presence, because it's a and we will show the potential YouTube group. It's in an old-fashioned glass.

SPEAKER_01: 2:30

Keyword potential. Yeah. I like that. Old fashioned glass.

SPEAKER_00: 2:34

But it's as I take another sip. It's interesting when you mix Campari or Aperol with what I say, the pineapple juice. To me, it starts tasting like uh it has a grapefruit finish. So this finishes with grapefruit. It does. But it's balanced super well.

SPEAKER_01: 2:58

Yeah, I'm ordering this next time I go.

SPEAKER_00: 3:00

So consider this is two and three-quarter ounces or two and a half ounces. No. Two and three-quarter ounces of alcohol with juices and stuff. It's not alcohol forward. You can taste the alcohol, but it's it's balanced very well. So this makes me want to go back to Skipper Canteen. I went once, wasn't really, really impressed, but I also didn't drink when I went. I just I went for the meal.

SPEAKER_01: 3:29

You'll always be more impressed if you drink when you go. This is true. Except for if you go to that one place where you have the bad drink, and we're gonna mention that again.

SPEAKER_00: 3:36

But this is this was when I went and went to Skipper Canteen, it was where you land and you go to the parks hardcore first day, and we went to Magic Kingdom, and which I don't recommend if you're flying from the West Coast to go hard the first day. I think that should be an easy going day because it's just never fun. And yeah, we went hard day with lunch at Skipper Canteen. And the food was the food was good, it was okay, but I would have enjoyed it more had I gone and been a little more relaxed. Yes. Everything's better when you're more relaxed. Yeah, this is true.

SPEAKER_01: 4:12

That's why they should always do Disney more relaxed.

SPEAKER_00: 4:15

Yes, more relaxed. So we're doing Jungle Bird to fit in with our theme. And it's living with Disney's sidekicks or Disney animals, sidekicks or otherwise, because sometimes it's the main character, sometimes it isn't.

SPEAKER_01: 4:30

Yeah, I did all I did all animals. Okay. And then pets. I did I did pets I would want as my own.

SPEAKER_00: 4:37

Oh, for the animals? Yeah. And why? And I kind of yeah. I mean, you're living with them, i.e. pets. I just didn't want to insult certain characters by calling them pets. Because I imagine if you referred like it's like calling Rocket Raccoon a raccoon. It angers him. It does anger him.

SPEAKER_01: 4:59

Or trash panda or rocket would be a good funny one. There we go. I didn't even think of that. No, I didn't either. Yeah. I didn't think of Marvel at all.

SPEAKER_00: 5:07

No, didn't cross my mind. So anyway, we have a list of ten each. Yep. And would you like to start? Sure. Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 5:16

My first one is Maximus from Tangled.

SPEAKER_00: 5:21

You know, I thought about doing Maximus. It went with a different horse. I watched many clips. Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 5:26

Not many mouse clips. Lots of clips.

SPEAKER_00: 5:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 5:29

I watched lots of clips on the and the some are hilarious. It makes me want to watch a few of these movies again. Because I haven't seen Tangled in a long time.

SPEAKER_00: 5:36

I haven't watched that the whole way through, I don't think.

SPEAKER_01: 5:39

But so Maximus, I like him because he's a horse with big dog energy.

SPEAKER_00: 5:45

Yes. Very much so. If you were gonna have a horse.

SPEAKER_01: 5:50

Yep, he's a horse that's just like a having a dog. And you know, our dogs are all big in our house. We like the bigger dogs.

SPEAKER_00: 5:57

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 5:57

So that it fits. It fits. It tracks.

SPEAKER_00: 6:00

It works with who you are.

SPEAKER_01: 6:02

Right. That's what this is all about.

SPEAKER_00: 6:03

As a Disney fan, yes. Any final thoughts on that?

SPEAKER_01: 6:08

I don't think so. Do you have any thoughts on no? No?

SPEAKER_00: 6:11

I just that I almost did Max's up and I picked a different one.

SPEAKER_01: 6:15

We'll see how this goes. This we'll we'll get into it. Let's go.

SPEAKER_00: 6:18

So my first one was Dory. Okay. Because a fish is an easy pet, but I thought she would be a little disturbing because she would just swim around in place all day or just kind of float there all day staring at you. Because she wouldn't know who you were. And she'd just keep forgetting. Right. So she would just stare at you all day. Yeah. So, you know, I thought, well, fish, an aquarium can cost a lot of money, but the food is really cheap. So I'm thinking, I was thinking with her practical of like but you could almost get away with a small aquarium for just one fish.

SPEAKER_01: 6:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 6:59

Just that typical round bowl. I like that. I don't know if she if that would work for an ocean going fish though, but but the food is cheap. But I thought eventually I would move her to an unused room because of the staring, would just creep me out. Oh. I don't want to be stared at by an animal, my pet. It just it would annoy me. So she would be banished to like this room.

SPEAKER_01: 7:24

Just yeah, when you don't go into a lot.

SPEAKER_00: 7:26

Yeah, or Eli's old room. Yeah. Yeah. Michaela's old room. That's where we keep the fish.

SPEAKER_01: 7:32

Sorry, kids, you're not welcome back.

SPEAKER_00: 7:35

Entertain the pet. We got a pet. He'll she'll be staring at you the whole time you're home.

SPEAKER_01: 7:40

Well, Eli Eli already gets to adopt a bird someday.

SPEAKER_00: 7:43

Oh, yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 7:44

The bird will outlive you. Oh, yeah. They lived uh fifty, they lived 50 or 60 years. Oh, okay. So yeah, he's gonna he's gonna toy outlive me. Unless advances in sciences come.

SPEAKER_00: 7:54

Now he's listening to this and he's I know. Sorry, Taz. Coming up with ways to get rid of the bird. Oh, yeah, the bird got away.

SPEAKER_01: 8:02

Christy always tries to come up with ways to get rid of the bird. She asks every single person that comes in our house if they want a bird. If they want a bird. Yeah. The birds are my thing. I would have 12 of them. Oh. I love birds. Interesting. Yeah. Fun fact.

SPEAKER_00: 8:16

Learn something new every day.

SPEAKER_01: 8:17

Fun fact. So my next one. Your next one. Um, my next one is also from Tangled. I went double Tangled. And he's a small chameleon. Pablo? Wait, Pascal. Pascal. Pablo. That's a good name. I mean, yeah. That's a good name too. Pascal. And I watched a video, a funny video today where the creators, how they came up with a name, there was a person on the set that got a chameleon and brought it on the when they were writing the when they were writing the script, and she brought it in the room, and they said we need a chameleon in this movie. Can we name it Pascal?

unknown: 8:51

Oh.

SPEAKER_01: 8:52

And that was her past her name of her chameleon. Oh, nice. And his hilarious character. And I watched a few, I watched a few clips from Disney Jr. today. Okay. Of the Tangled Disney Jr. show, and it's very funny.

SPEAKER_00: 9:06

I'll have to Pascal I'll have to watch. I'll have to sit down when I've got time to watch all of Tangled.

SPEAKER_01: 9:15

You've never seen the whole movie? Or just I haven't paid attention to it.

SPEAKER_00: 9:18

No, no. It's because I get interrupted a lot when watching movies. Oh. It took me like four or five hours to watch something the other day. Wow. Because I kept, hey, come here and take a look at this. Hey, let's do Yeah. I can't remember what movie it was now. And I spent five hours of my life watching it. So anyway.

SPEAKER_01: 9:42

But Pascal, you can take anywhere. Yeah. He's a pocket chameleon. Yeah. You can just stick him anywhere. He could go with you. And he changes the color of whatever you're wearing. He can sit on your shoulder and just, if you're wearing like a brown sweater, hold on to your ear and cruise along. Yeah, he can stick sit on top of your Mickey ears. Yeah. And be part of it. Like if you lose a if you lose an ear from your Mickey ears when you're in the park, he can become a Mickey.

SPEAKER_00: 10:07

Oh, that's brilliant.

SPEAKER_01: 10:08

That's pretty good. That's pretty good. And he's also an emotional support chameleon. You need one of those. Just to get you through your day. Nice. That's what pets are for, right? Yes, emotional support. That's one of the main things pets are even for. Why you get a pet, because it makes you happier, right? Yeah. Like with the kids out of the house now, I end up talking to the dogs and bird a lot more.

SPEAKER_00: 10:34

I talk to my dog a lot.

SPEAKER_01: 10:35

I like a lot more than I used to, though. We have me and Taz had a whole conversation today.

SPEAKER_00: 10:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 10:41

And he's he was into it.

SPEAKER_00: 10:42

I just give my dog like different names. He was picking up he was picking up what I was throwing down. Yeah. Well, that's good. So my next one is Hey Hey. I went with a bird. I'll go hey later. So he he's a rooster. And I got him because I figured keep him around and get some hen egg-laying hens. I put hen laying eggs. Yeah. Little dyslexia there. Egg-laying hens. Because I thought, you know, you'd it'd be great because you wouldn't feel any guilt eating his offspring.

unknown: 11:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 11:20

Because he's an idiot.

unknown: 11:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 11:22

And so you're just like if you were able to take idiot animals out of the world.

SPEAKER_01: 11:28

So I'll just I add it, I had a hey, hey on my list too. Okay. So I'll just add in and we'll just conversate about it instead of me saying it later. That's funny. That's funny that you're because he's an idiot. My whole thing with pets also is like with our younger dog, uh, he we laugh at him all day long, right? He was an empty nester kind of purchase. Oh, okay. It was right before Eli was about ready to graduate high school. So we should have we should have like legitimately not gotten any more pets so we can live our empty nester life, right? But we did.

SPEAKER_00: 12:04

We got a puppy care of the package.

SPEAKER_01: 12:06

We got a puppy right after COVID.

SPEAKER_00: 12:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 12:08

Got a puppy, and we laugh at him all day. It's constant, constant laughing. He's one of the best pets we've ever owned. And that that's one thing to have a pet. So Heihe will be the same thing. You would laugh at everything he did. Yeah. Because of the chaos he would he would cause. It would be hilarious if you took it lightheartedly. I know. Hey Hei's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00: 12:28

Oh, yeah. He was a great character.

SPEAKER_01: 12:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 12:31

Well, Moana had both Hei Hei and Pua, which both great, great animals. Yeah. I should have gone with Pua. So I'm gonna get off topic here because I don't think this episode will be a real long one. Not in the way we're flowing so far. Whoa.

SPEAKER_01: 12:47

Oh I'm hitting still so far. Jeez.

SPEAKER_00: 12:49

I'm driving up this is my first one, I swear, to my hunting spot. And there is a pig that looks like Pua, the same species of pig. And it has a bunch of little piglets. And so every time I'm driving by this field, I see like mama pig with about six little tiny piglets, chase furry little piglets chasing her around this field. Very cute thing. And yeah, almost made me. I'm like, I want one I want to just pull over and grab one of their little piglets. I don't because that's illegal and wrong, but why not?

SPEAKER_01: 13:25

Right. Right. I'm going to leave my my microphone mishap into the YouTube because I don't have any options.

SPEAKER_00: 13:34

Right.

SPEAKER_01: 13:34

I'm no, we do. Oh, we do? Oh, yeah. Oh, okay. I'm Are you getting good at the editing? I'm about 20% good at it. Nice. It's taking so long. But I'm gonna leave that in there because just to show we all make mistakes. And I don't have a drinking problem.

SPEAKER_00: 13:51

No.

SPEAKER_01: 13:53

I have a Disney problem that includes drinking. Yeah. So your next one, because we did hey, hey. I did hey hey, I'm right on top of your hey hey. I did a boo. Okay. Well, let's talk a boo then, because I also have a boo.

SPEAKER_00: 14:06

So I just thought I could use him to start a criminal enterprise stealing food from my local farmers.

SPEAKER_01: 14:14

That's exactly kind of what I've had.

SPEAKER_00: 14:18

So the yeah, that's the whole thing. And a boo, he's actually a really good character. And so it'd be, you know, it'd be fun. He's a animal, a pet that you could really have a good converse, one-sided conversation with.

SPEAKER_01: 14:29

Well, because he answers you, so yeah, like it's like he's really answering you. Yeah, he just is, you know, type of noise. That's the best impression we've ever had on our show of anything.

SPEAKER_00: 14:40

Probably because of yeah, and but the telethon, those weren't impressions. Yeah, just a because everybody argues that. No, those were guests. I know. Those were real guests.

SPEAKER_01: 14:52

It's weird how much they sounded just like us. Well, yeah. I think they were impersonated us.

SPEAKER_00: 14:56

I think so.

SPEAKER_01: 14:57

Yeah, those guys. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 14:58

So anyway, that's why is a boo for a criminal enterprise. That's yeah. I think he'd be a good monkey to have a beer with.

SPEAKER_01: 15:06

Oh, that's a good one too. Yeah, I just had that, yeah. If you need a snack, he can just go grab one for you from anywhere if you're in a store anywhere you're at. He can just go get you a loaf of bread. Ballpark. Ooh. Take it to a take into a Yankee game. He'd go grab your hot dog. Yeah. That's a great idea. Boo, hot dog.

SPEAKER_00: 15:26

Hot dog. Yep.

SPEAKER_01: 15:28

That's a great idea.

SPEAKER_00: 15:30

Excellent.

SPEAKER_01: 15:31

So yours yours going again.

SPEAKER_00: 15:33

No, I keep going again. This is your list. So this is where I hit on the the big three. Okay. Donald Duck. Oh. As a pet. As a pet. That would not go over well. So there'd be non-stop yelling. Like it would just be a constant fight in the house. Oh, he's very angry. He's a very angry duck. But he has all those human-like skills, so he'd actually be good around the house. He so he's one of those, he's like that kid that you have that complains about having to do chores, but they do the chores. So it's like, you know, they're complaining about doing the chores, but they're actually doing the chores. That would be Donald Duck. Yeah, I would go with Donald Duck. I can visualize him complaining about doing the chores right now. Yeah, vacuuming and dusting. Yeah. Because I I can bet he's a bit of a neat freak that he just has that personality about him.

SPEAKER_01: 16:29

I think of I can think of Donald Duck dusting and wearing one of those maids hats as he did it.

SPEAKER_00: 16:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 16:35

I don't know what they're called.

SPEAKER_00: 16:37

A maid's hat.

unknown: 16:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 16:39

That's what they're called.

SPEAKER_01: 16:40

It's like a piece of crochet something they put on their head. A doily?

SPEAKER_00: 16:46

Yeah, like a doily. A doily. Maid's doily. A maid's doily.

SPEAKER_01: 16:50

Just made that up. That's a good one. So I get to go again?

SPEAKER_00: 16:53

You now, yes, it is your turn.

SPEAKER_01: 16:55

So I'm gonna go with the big ones too. Okay. I'm going Pluto.

unknown: 17:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 17:01

That's the best pet. Pluto's great. He because he is a pet. I know, but Pluto's classic. Yeah, he's the classic one. I mean, you can't have a list of pets you'd want to own without having Pluto on the list.

SPEAKER_00: 17:13

So a lot of this is speculation on what kind of pet they would actually be. Pluto, we have hard evidence. Right. Through countless movies, shorts of what kind of pet he would actually be.

SPEAKER_01: 17:27

Toy Loyal.

SPEAKER_00: 17:28

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 17:28

He's the other part of our youngest dog, the cuddling part.

SPEAKER_00: 17:34

Yeah, he's got some Pluto qualities. And he's got great merchandise at DCA.

SPEAKER_01: 17:39

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 17:40

Like that and Monsters Inc. was the only good merchandise.

SPEAKER_01: 17:43

I don't know how I held back.

SPEAKER_00: 17:46

Really?

SPEAKER_01: 17:46

Yeah. She should Christy should say thank you, Aaron, for that because I'd have bought none of it and it was all great. And I like a Pluto.

SPEAKER_00: 17:53

If she said thank you, Aaron, we would then say thank you, Christy, for that compliment.

SPEAKER_01: 17:57

Oh, if she said thank you, Aaron, I might have a heart attack and pass out. Thank you, Christy. I don't know if I don't think she's listened to us in a while.

SPEAKER_00: 18:06

So she'll listen to this in like six months. Yeah, I hope that continues. Come home and slap you around for a while. Yep. How many have you done? Is that was that your fifth?

SPEAKER_01: 18:17

That was one, two, three. So you're going again. Yes. I did one, two, three, and then the two you have. So five. I have five.

SPEAKER_00: 18:25

Okay, so now my fifth, yeah. Remy. And this goes to me, Remy goes without saying.

SPEAKER_01: 18:32

Oh, that's a good one, too.

SPEAKER_00: 18:33

Because cooking is done. Fantastic meals every day. The only downside is feeding his 9,000 cousins who would probably come move in with you. And there is, they do hang out in the sewer, so there is a potential for disease, but you know, you you sometimes you make compromises. You trade a little disease for that good French cooking.

SPEAKER_01: 18:59

True, and I just had a thought. What's that? What if Remy brings all his people with him? So you know how Remy's in your hat and he makes you do the cooking. Yeah. Right? What if you could have what if you had like ones that could like do other things too? And you just you had to do nothing. Oh, yeah. You just live your life as a zombie, and you had different Remy's relatives that jumped inside your hat and just did other things for you, like going to the lawn, going to work.

SPEAKER_00: 19:26

That's a good point.

SPEAKER_01: 19:27

They can just pull your hair all day.

SPEAKER_00: 19:29

Yeah. Walking out.

SPEAKER_01: 19:31

Yeah, you just walk around like a zombie all day long. Nice. And just go through life and then just take them out when you want to have relaxation time.

SPEAKER_00: 19:39

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 19:39

Go to Disney. You can go to Disney without the rat.

SPEAKER_00: 19:42

Yeah. That would be hard to sneak into Disney with a rat in your hat, but this is really good.

SPEAKER_01: 19:48

I like this. I keep hitting my microphones. Okay. This setup is not working for my my style. Gotta flip it up a little bit. So next one. Oh it's my me again. Yes. Stitch. Stitch is my next one. And that's just because that's just because he's so loving. Is he an animal? Or because he's an alien.

SPEAKER_00: 20:13

I don't know. He's not on a he's on a mineral. Yeah. But I mean, would you call Christy an animal?

unknown: 20:20

What?

SPEAKER_00: 20:21

No. He's just a different species. He's an alien, but he's not really a pet animal.

SPEAKER_01: 20:28

What is he to he's not he's not Lilo's friend? More of a pet.

SPEAKER_00: 20:34

That might be debatable. But anyway.

SPEAKER_01: 20:37

So why would you want this is my pet list, darn it?

SPEAKER_00: 20:41

Late stage stitch. Not early stage where he's a bit mean and misnomer. Late stage.

SPEAKER_01: 20:49

Because he's he loves he loves fiercely. Yes. Right.

SPEAKER_00: 20:53

This is true.

SPEAKER_01: 20:53

Totally loyal. Right. And there's again with the hey hey thing. Same idea. There's chaos everywhere.

SPEAKER_00: 21:01

Entertainment in series. Everywhere. Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 21:04

Think of our idea we have for I don't know which one of us had the idea for a stitch lounge. That's all like 80s skater paint. I think that was yours. Probably. Yeah, but it was really good.

SPEAKER_00: 21:16

That sounds like that sounds like something you'd come up with. Okay. Okay, your next one. Doug. Doug, I also have Doug. You also have Doug. And I mean, it just makes you're the one I thought of when I thought of Doug because you have two Dougs sitting out there in your kitchen waiting for us to finish up recording.

SPEAKER_01: 21:39

They they do this when we record. They are told Doug's when we record.

SPEAKER_00: 21:42

So he'll put up with you even as you get older and a lot grumpier in your disposition. And he does have that lab retriever neediness. It causes you to want to get away from me. Get away from me, dog. But he's just they're very lovable.

SPEAKER_01: 21:58

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 21:59

There's not a lab or golden retriever. There's just not a bad bone in their body at all. And who doesn't want a pet that you can have an actual conversation with? Yes. And then there's the advantage that you could talk to him.

SPEAKER_01: 22:15

Right.

SPEAKER_00: 22:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 22:15

Totally talk to him. And he could talk back. Exactly.

SPEAKER_00: 22:18

Doug's a good one. Yeah. So what what what caused you to add Doug to your to your list?

SPEAKER_01: 22:25

Kind of the same thing you said. I mean, it's a pure I went pure like the pet loves you immediately.

SPEAKER_00: 22:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 22:31

Right? That's huge. The loyalness.

SPEAKER_00: 22:35

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 22:35

And the goofiness. He is a total, he's a total Quincy, which is our youngest dog. As far as the as far as how happy he is. Yes. When he gets happy, not his whole personality. Yes. Just the when he gets really happy and excited and his whole body waves around.

SPEAKER_00: 22:51

Yes. That's I can see that. Yeah. I thought he was good. He Doug is a good mix of both Quincy and Ripley.

SPEAKER_01: 22:57

He is. He is.

SPEAKER_00: 22:58

Yeah. Totally.

SPEAKER_01: 23:00

Yeah, totally. Doug's another no-brainer.

SPEAKER_00: 23:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 23:03

Right around the same lines as Pluto. Exactly. Just a great pet.

SPEAKER_00: 23:08

Great pet. Okay, so my next one. Your next one. Keenai. From Brother Bear.

SPEAKER_01: 23:15

Oh. That's out of the left field. So granted. I like this. I like that.

SPEAKER_00: 23:24

Yeah. And so granted, he's going to eat you in the end. It's just, it's not going to end well. But in the meantime, it just he'd be the coolest pet ever. A big old grizzly.

unknown: 23:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 23:39

Does he have to is he gonna eat you in the end?

SPEAKER_00: 23:41

I think so. Is he? I think he you'd get to that point where you're just trusting him, or but you forget to feed him one time, your dinner. Really? Yeah. That's kind of a bummer. I don't know. Because he is wild. He's a wild bear.

SPEAKER_01: 23:54

That's a huge downer.

SPEAKER_00: 23:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 23:56

I don't know. I think it maybe I'm I'm my in my take, he doesn't do that. No, and the hope would be right. And he just he changes. He's one of the one bears. Maybe he teaches other bears. And all of a sudden bears are domesticated because of him.

SPEAKER_00: 24:11

Yeah, I don't think it works that way. But but you know, possibility. I don't know. Possibility, sure.

SPEAKER_01: 24:17

I'm not a scientist. I don't know how these things work. Okay, next one. My next one is Pegasus from Hercules.

SPEAKER_00: 24:27

That is actually my next one as well. Oh, jeez. Okay. See, I thought when you went with Maximus, that was going to be your only horse.

SPEAKER_01: 24:37

Oh, I didn't do uh, I just did, I just looked at all the characters and went with which ones. I didn't think of what kind of animal they were as I went down the list because I watched like 10 billion clips.

SPEAKER_00: 24:48

When I pulled up a list, it actually broke them down by animal.

SPEAKER_01: 24:51

Oh, I didn't, yeah. Yeah. So I just started I just started putting like top top 50 Disney. That's what I did. So I just watched cards, I just watched clips.

SPEAKER_00: 25:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_01: 25:07

All morning.

SPEAKER_00: 25:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 25:08

And I like him because he's a well, he's a flying horse, you can get anywhere.

SPEAKER_00: 25:12

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 25:13

Right. That's transportation.

SPEAKER_00: 25:14

That was my biggest thing right then. The transportation aspect of an apegasis.

SPEAKER_01: 25:19

I mean, if you've ever met my daughter, you would you know I like a good side eye. Because Michaela could give a nice, yeah, like sarcastic side eye.

SPEAKER_00: 25:30

Yeah. And I've got a dog that gives pretty good, a Pomeranian that gives pretty good side eye.

SPEAKER_01: 25:35

Yeah, Ripley's good at that too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 25:36

Like Which is really funny for coming from a little tiny dog.

SPEAKER_01: 25:40

Yeah, but Michaela's is an all-time classic.

SPEAKER_00: 25:42

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 25:42

It says there's so many words. Yes. And they're different words depending on what kind of side eye she gives you. Yeah. It could be a it could be a sad side eye. I need something from you, side eye. Never say anything like that me again, side eye. Right? There's so many of those that Michaela has. So that's why Pegasus is the Michaela of this group. The Michaela of Yeah. That's my oldest child. In a nutshell.

SPEAKER_00: 26:07

The only downside is because you're saving commute time expenses and stuff, but you'd have to move a little more out in the country so that you could get some acreage. It was to be the only one that would be a little tricky. Because and I thought about this. That even though he can fly, and maybe he could fly over to another field or something, you're still like thinking about a pegasis or pegasus in your backyard. It's not feasible.

SPEAKER_01: 26:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 26:36

In in like in an urban backyard.

SPEAKER_01: 26:39

What if you just had land somewhere?

SPEAKER_00: 26:42

That would work too.

SPEAKER_01: 26:42

Because he could fly. It would just have to be right outside the town.

SPEAKER_00: 26:45

Yes. It couldn't be too far away because then how would you summon him when you need to go to work in the morning and you wanted that free commute? Right. You could zap him and get a caller that gives him a little not a bad zap, but just a little, hey, come get me.

SPEAKER_01: 27:04

It could be a beep.

SPEAKER_00: 27:05

Yeah. Oh, beep.

SPEAKER_01: 27:06

You don't have to have a zap.

SPEAKER_00: 27:09

Well, if it was noisy outside, like a high big window. You got an earpiece.

SPEAKER_01: 27:13

Oh Pegasus horse horse airpods.

SPEAKER_00: 27:17

Horse AirPods. There we go.

SPEAKER_01: 27:19

Come on, Apple.

SPEAKER_00: 27:20

Get on it, Apple.

SPEAKER_01: 27:22

Pet AirPods are a new thing. I don't care if you talk to him when they're outside.

SPEAKER_00: 27:26

I don't care if Steve Jobs is dead. You can innovate.

unknown: 27:29

What?

SPEAKER_01: 27:31

I don't even know where that came from.

SPEAKER_00: 27:35

Honestly, because I could see Steve Jobs, if that was a real need that he thought the world had, I would see him innovating something like that. I recently just watched the Jobs or one of those Steve Jobs movies. Which is why.

SPEAKER_01: 27:51

Well, the one was really good. The one I watched, I don't know what it was. It might have been Ashton Kutcher. He didn't play Steve Jobs, did he?

SPEAKER_00: 27:59

Okay, so one of them has Ashton Kutcher and the other has Michael Fassbender. That must have been the one I watched. And I think one is called Steve and the other is called Jobs.

SPEAKER_01: 28:09

Oh, inventive. Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_00: 28:12

It's like, oh, they called it Jobs. What do we call ours?

SPEAKER_01: 28:16

Let's call Steve. Steve. That's like the old Bob Newhart. Yeah. There was the Bob Newhart show. There was New Heart. There's Bob. That was his last show he had. That's hilarious.

SPEAKER_00: 28:31

He would be a good pet. Bob Newhart? Hilarious. Okay. So we covered Pegasus. Do you have two left? I have one left. Okay, so I have two. Okay. So we both have two. Should I you want me to go?

SPEAKER_01: 28:45

Go ahead. Okay. We're just flowing here.

SPEAKER_00: 28:48

So my next one, Scrooge McDuck.

SPEAKER_01: 28:53

You like pet ducks?

SPEAKER_00: 28:54

Well, I've I mean there's two ducks, and I didn't do launch pad McQuack. You're like or Huey Dewey and Louie.

SPEAKER_01: 29:00

You're like Joey and Chandler.

SPEAKER_00: 29:03

Oh, yeah, there you go. I could have a pet duck. Pet duck.

SPEAKER_01: 29:07

So tell me why he's the only interesting to me.

SPEAKER_00: 29:11

He's the only pet you could have that's not a financial drain, but a financial asset. Because you could make a killing charging him rent. You could actually charge your pet rent. Because he has so much money? Because he has so much money. Yeah. Well if he left though. He couldn't. He's your pet. Oh, so it's can Ripley or or or have no money.

SPEAKER_01: 29:34

They could be billionaires.

SPEAKER_00: 29:36

But they could just wander off and decide to go live someplace else.

SPEAKER_01: 29:39

I think if Quincy was a billionaire, he might bounce.

SPEAKER_00: 29:42

He might have a high rise somewhere. He probably would bounce. I don't think Ripley would Ripley would stay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 29:47

Ripley would stay and probably contribute to the household.

SPEAKER_00: 29:49

But see, that's my my fantasy that he would pay.

SPEAKER_01: 29:53

I think Quincy would have a loft in the city.

SPEAKER_00: 29:55

He probably would. Some place he could bring the ladies over, be undisturbed.

SPEAKER_01: 30:05

Oh. This has turned sideways, people. This is still a Disney show, everyone. So yeah, that's that's a you what are ducks? No more ducks? Is that I'm out of ducks.

SPEAKER_00: 30:17

Yes, I'm out of ducks.

SPEAKER_01: 30:18

But you had all your ducks in a row.

SPEAKER_00: 30:20

Yes. No, actually, they were we had to jump for the next duck. My next one is Raja from Aladdin. I thought about going with him because he was a tiger. I like a tiger. There's a lot of tigers to choose from.

SPEAKER_01: 30:34

There is.

SPEAKER_00: 30:35

Yeah, because you get jungle book. Right. Oh, that's a good one, too. And I'm forgetting. His name.

SPEAKER_01: 30:40

I don't know it.

SPEAKER_00: 30:41

Even though I just looked at it. It took me a lot to make sure I got Raja correctly. Anyway.

SPEAKER_01: 30:46

But Raja is like like a um chameleon. He's my emotional support tiger.

SPEAKER_00: 30:54

Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 30:54

Right? Because he's there for you at all times. He's not afraid to bite a head off.

SPEAKER_00: 30:58

So Raja is my Kenai. Kini is my Raja. Yeah. Maybe that's how I should say it. Yeah. Yeah. I think those are the equivalent. Right. They could kill you, but why not have one?

SPEAKER_01: 31:11

But he's not Raja's never gonna kill his owner, but he would kill your dad if your dad talked crap to you. Like he almost did to probably attack yes. He attacked Jasmine's dad like that.

SPEAKER_00: 31:22

Yeah. Willing to kill the king. The sultan, sorry.

SPEAKER_01: 31:25

Yeah, that's one of my top ones, I think, is Rajah.

SPEAKER_00: 31:28

Okay. That's that he's a good one. He's a good one. He is a good one. What's your next one? My last one.

SPEAKER_01: 31:34

Your last one.

SPEAKER_00: 31:34

Is Cusco.

SPEAKER_01: 31:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_00: 31:36

So the llama from Emperor's New Groove.

SPEAKER_01: 31:40

So dumb.

SPEAKER_00: 31:41

You know, he's never coming into the house. You know, there's lots of spitting and general, unpleasant disposition. But if you like sarcastic humor, he is the one. He is the pet for you. Yeah. Like you you could just be laughing all day at just his entitled sarcasm. I know.

SPEAKER_01: 32:03

That quick win. Yeah. I think I think that's number one for me is the sarcastic.

SPEAKER_02: 32:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 32:09

Kind of loving sarcastic thing. And laughing. Laughing with your pets is number one, I think. And all the things, yeah. All the things we talked about so far. Well, number good number two is just pure loving. Right? But but the funny thing is the laughing with your pet, laughing at what your pet does. Yeah. That makes you the happiest, I think, of having a pet at laughing at them. Yes. As yeah. Like, why does Quincy jump all over a house like he's Tigger? Exactly. He's mostly he mo he has Tigger, he has tigger energy like crazy.

SPEAKER_00: 32:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 32:42

Yeah. And so just laughing at him all day long. That's one of our that's one of the funniest things. That's one of the best things about having a pet.

SPEAKER_00: 32:48

I think it's funny, and he doesn't do it often, but Rigby, yeah, the Pomeranian, when he's so he naps a lot. It's intense playing followed by very long naps. But he does his little wolf howl while he's sleeping. He'll have a dream or something, and all of a sudden he'll like a couple barks and then oh woo. And it's really long. And it is. It's a woo. That's his little howl. A woo. Yeah, little tiny four-pound dog howling. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01: 33:21

Hilarious. That's funny. Our son's our son's fiance, Addie, guest of the show. Yes, former guest. Former guest of the show. Hopefully, future guest of the show. She her family has a great dane. Oh. So they have a great dane and a boston terrier. Oh, okay. A crazy pair. The great dane will the great dane will eat stuff off the counter without even lifting his chin.

SPEAKER_02: 33:47

SPEAKER_01: 33:47

And the Boston Terrier, though, saw that and he will leap on the counter. He'll oh his might and grab something.

Yeah, he grabbed a he grabbed an entire taco off the plate of Addy's dad when he got up just for a second. I was sitting right there. I didn't, he was so fast. I didn't notice. I was sitting right next to right on the table next.

SPEAKER_00: 34:08

That's funny.

SPEAKER_01: 34:09

He jumped up and grabbed it and was gone.

SPEAKER_00: 34:12

I always wanted to get a Boston Terrier and name him Yankee. That was just yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 34:20

I can't think of an opposite. I was trying to think of something Yankee would I can't think of a man.

SPEAKER_00: 34:24

Yeah, and there's an animal. There's not, but it works perfectly to get a Boston Terrier and name him Yankee. Anyway. Name him Jeter. There you go. Your last one.

SPEAKER_01: 34:33

SPEAKER_00: 35:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: 35:26

Right just in the beginning. But a quality. Yeah. A quality role. Yeah, I watched the clips. The clips are hilarious. Just Nana helping out Wendy doing all the stuff around the house. Oh. Isn't that cool?
