I'm Jennifer Fisher and I'm Angela Kinsey and we're the office ladies. We're still talking about all the hilarious behind the scenes details from the office with icons from the show like Rain Wilson, Greg Daniels, Malora Harden and so many more. And we can't forget our two conversations with office ladies superfan Billy Eilish. Hello! So join us for brand new episodes every Wednesday. And revisit the office rewatch every Monday. Go and listen to office ladies wherever you get your podcasts. You're listening to the Dana and Parks podcast on KMBZ. All right. We're going to talk about sunshine and rainbows this hour. Oh, wait. I said, well, funny cat videos. We were all walking back from the water fountain down the hall, filling up our water jugs and Jesse says to me, so what are we going to talk about this hour? I said sunshine and rainbows. Sam was in front of us and he goes, nobody wants to talk about good news. If it bleeds, it leads. I said, it's hard to fill four hours with.

Oh, that's a cute puppy. He did say that. It can be done. Nobody wants to talk about good news. So we're just going to keep talking about AI and how the end of the world is on its way. I got some good news. Hmm. Chiefs game coming up. Patrick Mahomes ready to rock and roll, baby. Oh, he's going to start. Uh huh. That is good news. We're going to wait till Monday though. Back to the doom and gloom. That's bad news. Uh tennis fans are crying foul after ESPN botched a graphic featuring the Williams sisters. During ESPN's US Open Quarter Final coverage on Wednesday, the network air to graphics showing the most major wins among American women before their 23rd birthday in the open era. That's rather obscure little sports trivia fact. That's like they're with like baseball stats. While the graphics show that Venus Williams has the most at 107 and sister Serena has 103, it had a photo of Serena where Venus was. So there were two photos of Serena.

I said, one user on Twitter, ESPN, please do better. This is unprofessional. Another said they couldn't believe what they were seeing. And someone said for how bad ESPN is, they should be embarrassed over this. Mm hmm. Uh huh. And there was one sympathetic provider on Reddit who wrote graphics person was probably up late for the Shelton match and didn't get much sleep. Oh, look at them being positive. I'll be honest, I can't tell them apart. The Williams sisters twins. They are twins. Are they not? I don't know. I thought Venus was older. I don't think so. Oh, twins. I always assumed they were because they do look very similar. So to the graphics person. I'll tell you what, if somebody had a picture of me and my brother, we're a year apart. Are you very well? I don't even think we would look like we're even related. They're a year apart. Yeah. The Williams sisters are a year apart.

Who's older? Uh, they're very right. It's, uh, there's two years apart. Currently she's Venus is 46 and Serena is 44. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. According to AI, Serena is about to display my knowledge of both soccer and the Williams sister. You're right. It's two weeks Serena will show the girls counts of the USA said Tuesday. It's first cookies for dogs. We'll go on. Say, challenge Sam's premise here of rainbows. Sam, this is a smile. Sam, this is a good news story. We're talking about cookies, girls count cookies for cute dogs. I mean, I don't know. I can turn it negative. If you mix up with the boxes, it's going to be a rough time. Did you say rough time like are you FF? That's what I said. Like rough. Get out. Are they cookies or are they biscuits? They're cookies. The blueberry muffin flavored cookies were developed with bark, a New York based seller

of dog treats and toys. The cookies are dubbed patch pals and they will only be sold online. My dog couldn't care less about a girl's got cookie. She just wants me to throw that stupid green ball 500 times. How do you guys feel about the just in general and society where you can bring your dog into this establishment? They have things on the menu for the dog. Don't give me a start. The dog ice cream. I do love the pup cup. The pup cup. Typically with a pup cup place, you're not able to like bring your dog into the Starbucks or the dairy queen or whatever. It's just a great marketing ploy of bring your dog for a pup cup and buy a $17 pumpkin spice latte. When I lived in the Pacific Northwest, that was the thing out there. Everyone brought their dog into every restaurant establishment. It seemed a bit extreme. Why can't you not leave your dog at home for a little while? Emotional support. Okay. Isn't that why you're going out to dinner with your friend? Most people don't use their dog for emotional support when they go out in public.

I have to be honest with you. The number of times Mary Beth is like, can we go somewhere we can take? Bullard? I'm like, no, we're going to dinner. The dog will be fine. And then I'm the jerk. Maybe you're not emotionally supportive enough. All right. I felt very accusatory. She needs a little bit extra emotional support. She's like, oh my gosh. I can only imagine what you're like. I've got a movie playing in my head of you and Mary Beth out at dinner. And you say or she says, man, do you see the neighbor's dog really cute? Nobody cares about cute puppies, honey. Yeah, that's it. No, we have good, deep conversations. I deep dove AI last night. That's a year scratching. And we're all going to die. We have nothing to talk about at dinner. I love taking. Which dog was here? It was with me, but like we've taken her to the patio at whatever that place is called in Mission Farms. And they're dog friendly. They were welcoming. They brought us over a bowl. They brought us a couple of treats. And I just felt like I was staring at the dog the whole time to make sure that the dog

is okay. I'm like, I'm at this point. Having dinner with the dog, not my girlfriend. Yeah. I just don't understand. Like if you take your dog to pet smart, right? I totally get it. You know, it's a pet friendly store. If you're walking through Home Depot, looking for drill bits, do you really need your dog with you? I mean, can the dog not survive for 30 minutes? There's people out there too. Some people very close to me. I won't name them. But they sort of like the dog in their life dictates their day to day life. They'll go out. They'll go places and go, ah, we can't stay around long. We got to get back to the dogs. And I thought, what a life. I think they actually, they're not using it as a reason to make a little ninja exit from the situation. I think legit, like the dog runs their lives. I would use, when Stella was alive, if I was out somewhere and I was bored, didn't feel like being there anymore, I would use hers and excuse to leave.

I got to get home. I came straight from work. I haven't even had time to get home and feed the dog and let her out. Okay. And even that's just, hey, I didn't let the dog out or the dog's been waiting well, okay, that's understandable. But just every single thing you do, every decision you make in your day to day life, well, I can't leave the dogs at home long that long. They'll tear the place apart or they'll... Then get new dogs. That's how I feel. Well, and when did that change? I feel like growing up, that was not the trend or maybe I just, you know, was a kid and I wasn't out about it, out and about enough. And is that a recent trend? I guarantee you, it wasn't around in the 70s and 80s. When I was growing up, the dog lived outside in a doghouse and you'd come out a few times and play with it during the day and then go back and live your life and you weren't clamoring over how the dog was doing out there. The dog was just fine. I can count probably on one hand the number of years in my life, even as a kid, where I didn't have a dog. We had Irish centers when I was a kid. They were beautiful, beautiful dogs. But man, they will do not open the door without a leash.

Irish centers will run like they're auditioning for chariots of fire. Mm-hmm. And they are gone. But I used to be a blacksmith in a bolts for the door. Yeah, it does. Nice. I see what you did there. But I don't ever recall, you know, we would take the dog on walks. We would play with the dogs in the backyard. But I don't ever recall my mom loading Casey or Red in the car and taking them anywhere other than the vet. I mean, that's how it was in my family growing up. Now we would take the dog to the park, but most of the time the park was within walking distance. So we would just walk the dog to the park. And that's an activity. That's like a fun thing to do. That's not you being a slave to your dog. That's bringing you, I think, direct enjoyment. So throw the Frisbee or, I don't know. I even got it. Holy bull. Yeah, I got it. It's entertainment. You got an email yesterday from USA. I didn't even read it.

I just read the title of the email and it said, Scott, have you ever wondered why don't I have pet insurance? Just from USA. We got some to sell you. And I'm thinking to myself, well, first I hit the box to the left, the lead. I mean, you see how expensive that's our. It's yes, they can be. And I know that if something bad were to happen to Lizzie, I would have to make a very tough decision. But we had this conversation years ago when I was with Mike Shannon about what is the financial limit you would go to to save your pen. Oh, yeah. That's a morbid conversation. Yeah, I guess we're talking back to the doom and gloom. So Scott, what dollar amount does make you know what you're carrying on, Lizzie? Let's go there. My dollar, now keep in mind, this was more than 15 years ago. I did have Stella, I had just gotten Stella and my financial limit to save my dog.

I think I pinged it between two and three thousand. And people lit me up. I mean, eight my lunch. I was called you would spend too much or not enough because I would not spend enough. Okay. That was not enough money to save a member of your family's. Yeah. Hmm. Based on that information, I will not be sharing my number. Well, what is your not higher than that? No, no, no, no. So I and it's strictly related to the age of the animal. And I still hold to that number when it comes to Lizzie at that point, you know, if it's two to three thousand, I'm probably going to tell the vet, here we go. I don't know. I could donate some plasma beer right back. What is your number, Sam? I don't just whisper it to the microphone. Nobody's going to I don't have a set number. But I is less than a thousand.

I don't believe in bankrupting yourself for that. If it's their time to go, it's their time to go. Am I going to be absolutely gutted? Yes. I'm not bankrupting myself. Well, the text line disagrees with you. It says it's irresponsible to not have pet insurance if you could afford it. Also, from the text line, speaking of irresponsible, I've had clients spend $15,000 on their dog. And what's with these mostly men walking their cats around in drawers? We got to take a quick break. A different subject altogether. 913-586-7798-586-7798. Commander Jesse Reed and Fridana, Sam Stevie III. My name is Scott Parks. You're on KMBZ.

Oh, you're off. Okay. What is this guys walking around with cats and baby strollers? I walk my dog every single morning and every single night. And at first, I didn't quite know what was going on. I saw this guy every morning pushing a stroller. It's not like a normal stroller. You know, you see a normal stroller. You're like, oh, that's a baby carrier. Yeah. Strat to some wheels. They're pushing the baby around. I got close to him the other close enough to him the other day that my dog started losing

its mind. Barb was barking like crazy. Why? Because there was not a baby in that stroller. It was a cat. Was it sleeping? Was it struggling? Was it like it was sitting up at the front of the stroller. So think like a very prinsley net type stroller where it's flat and has the sides on it. And then it has a netting as a top. I'm going to throw it. I feel like if you, you know, your baby's out at the park and you want to keep flies away from it kind of a bassinet. It was right at the front, looking out. But the cat wants you to go away and leave it home alone. You know the craziest thing about it? Another day I saw him back at his house. That was pretty crazy on its own, but and he was in the front yard and the stroller was in the driveway unzipped and the cat was just roaming around the front yard. If it's an outdoor cat, why are you putting it in a stroller? I love saucy Sam. I'm so confused by this man. And I want to ask him like, are all the wires meeting upstairs or so?

I don't know. Like what's going on? Someone very close to me claims you can train a cat like a dog. Like train it to walk on a leash. No, it's very true. It's true. Sam says it's true. No, it's not. My sister's dad had a cat named PJ. He passed within the last couple of years when he rest in peace named after Peter Jennings, by the way, we got right after Peter Jennings died. And this cat was trained to sit next to its bowl and do tricks before it got its food. And when my sister's dad Joe passed away, we got the cat and we would just put food in its bowl and leave the kitchen. And we'd come back in and there's PJ sit next to his bowl. All the food still in his bowl. And we're like PJ dude, eat. He didn't do his tricks. What were the tricks? You know, sit lay down, say cans, flush toilet. But could you put a leash on a cat and go for a walk? And it would just prance around and sniff things like a dog would. I know people with cats who do that. Yeah. I do remember that was it meet the family where they trained the family cat that Robert

Deneuro been a flick movie. Yes. Not been a flick. Been so. Thank you. To use the bathroom like on the toilet. Yeah. But he couldn't, but he couldn't flush because he didn't have an opposable thumb. That's right. And then actually trained a cat to go potty. Can you milk a cat? I have. It was great. Can you milk me? David in Overland Park. Hello David. Hey Scott. Well, I show I have spent since the pandemic on three different dogs $10,000, three times. Oh my. Wow. You are new car man. You're a better man than I am. It surgery in the abdomen of a black lab to take a tumor out. I came back unfortunately surgery on a yellow lab bought us 18 months with him, which I would do again in a heartbeat. We had to go to Columbia for that specialized surgery because their veterinary school only does it. It didn't. Nor in case he did it. And then just recently did what it's equivalent to doggy ACL surgery for our Akita, which

then involves 12 weeks of rehab with the dog. So it's a journey. On the first dog and I'm sorry, you said that was a black lab, is that correct? Yes. And that dog had some sort of cancer. And you spent a lot of money and then the cancer came back and I believe you said the dog died after that. Is that correct? Yeah, we did. We tried a second surgery and then she died soon thereafter from complications of that. Yes. I'm sorry to hear that. On a serious note, do you regret trying that because that is obviously very expensive. I'm not telling you anything. You don't know, David. Is there any regret? No, because that black lab was the first dog that our kids picked. And so she was the most loved dog that we've ever had for them. And so to try and give her some more life with them was well worth that. Right. All right.

I'm going to have a good afternoon. When Sean and I were first married, we weren't even married at the time. I don't think. Yeah, we were. We had two cats and I had one from college and she had one from college and we, you know, they hated each other, but that's fun. And her cat ended up getting a tumor in his right back leg and we took it to a veterinary office and they said, you know, he has cancer. We're going to have to amputate the leg or put him down. And I think Sean and I barely had two nickels to rub together at the time. And it was a thousand dollars. This was back in the late 90s. And we said, yeah, we love this cat. Go ahead and we'll pay the thousand dollars and amputate his leg and he learned quickly how to get around on just three legs. And not long after we noticed he was weizing and coughing, the cancer that was in his leg

and metastasized to his lungs and then of course there's no saving him. And but it was the cancer came back so fast. And I remember thinking at the time, you know, knowing what we know now, I would have never spent that thousand dollars. Yeah. We had the same thing with our cat. My favorite pet I ever had. It was there when both the girls were born and in 2022 or 23, we had to put him down. And I remember my oldest daughter came with me to do that and I said, hey, kiddo, you don't have to be here for the same thing. Cancer had formed quickly, metastasized. It was stroking out. He was miserable. And she came and sat with me for that and I said, kiddo, you don't have to do this. This is going to be a hard thing to do. And she said, hey, he's been here since I was like, I've ever been alive. I'm going to be here for his last moments. And as hard as that was and as much of a gut punch of a day as that was, it actually from a father, parent perspective, you know, pets are kind of a useful tool for teaching kids.

I think kind of the circle of life in a lot of ways. You know, people who grow up on farms see that at a very early age, but I think in our average suburban house, it can be a more difficult concept. And pets do help with that. 913-586-7798-586-7798. Gary, Tom, you guys hang tight. I'm Gary with everybody just a moment here on Dana and Parks. I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me? We're kind of one of those movies you see the first time and you just never stop laughing. We're kind of teetering on the happy, go lucky conversation about pets and the extremely morbid conversation about how much are you willing to shell out at the vet? Yeah. From the text line, I am a former veterinarian assistant. In my opinion, the one responsibility of the owner is to give their pet a good quality

of life as much as they can. Sometimes they go above and beyond and having them go through surgeries, etc. is actually more about the owner than the animal that puts the animal through a lot of suffering. And where do you stand on this, Sam? He's not saying. I agree with that veterinarian assistant. I do. I watched someone in my life. It was their dog. It was their choice. My personal opinion was that that dog for the last few years was probably not living with a high quality of life, but they wanted to keep it alive. So they paid the money to get whatever surgeries and treatment they needed to stay alive. Despite the fact that you called the dog's name and it didn't move. I saw, you know, you didn't move like yellow dog from that movie, Funny Farm. Tell me or fight out. I'll just burn in next to the fireplace.

I know you alive. You're breathing. Sam, you mentioned the neighbor that would push the cat around. I saw something similar with the dog except the dog was getting pushed around because the dog was so old and decrepit that it could no longer walk on his or her own. And so I would go on an evening walk in this neighborhood I used to live in. And I would see the neighborhood couple. We always kind of timed our walks at the same time. I would pass them and they were pushing their dog around. And then, you know, to help the dog go to the bathroom, they have to like pick the dog up and basically hold it while I went to the bathroom. Couldn't do anything on its own. And I remember just thinking to myself, like, please let that poor dog just go. That dog's not happy. Yeah. Let's go to the phones. I have nipples, Sam. Can you not make me? Gary. In Kansas City. Hello, Gary. How you doing? We're doing well. Thank you, man. I have two friends that are quite extreme as far as taking care of their animal. Now, I do one person and don't put me off the air. But I had a friend.

He lived on a farm head. Hounds ran over one of his hounds' legs. And it was all broken and weird and whatever. And we went to farm and the dog was dragging around us. So I'd take him to the vet and he said, he's the one that got away. So he had no problem. Oh my God. Okay. Now, let me go to the extreme. Okay. That wasn't extreme. Get better. I think this is worse. I had a friend that had a cat. They got the cat. The cat was already 12, 14, 15 years old. I don't know. Oh, and they kept it for at least three or four years. And they stayed up at nine feet and cat and watering the cat. None of them got a full night sleep for years. They went to the veterinarian quickly and got infusions water. The whole thing. You keep that cat alive. I would say they spent tens and tens of thousands of dollars on that cat.

And my thought is that you better not spend things that need to go for your children. You need to go for your own health care on somebody else or an animal. They won't pay you back. I do appreciate the call. No, they won't pay you back. Tom in Belton. Hello, Tom. Hey. When I was talking to Sam, the purpose of my call is how cats can act like dogs. And part of, I didn't tell them everything, unfortunately. And it's not going to be in gruesome surprise. But I have a Simeez cat. And when it comes to me, he doesn't listen to me. But, and I've been with this cat for 14 years. I don't know if you're familiar with Simeez cats. They're aggressive, very independent, but my wife. I think she talks to the cat more than she does me. Because I will hear her in the house now.

And I'm not going to name the cat's name. She'll say, now come on, I'm doing this. Now you go over here. And then he comes back about 15 minutes later. You know, are you done yet? No, I'm doing this. And I hear these conversations in the house and I'm outside. The only time that cat really pays attention to me is about this time of day. When I get home from work, I'm listening to the day in our own parts. I'm smoking cigarette, having my beverage. And he's jonesing, rubbing up against my legs. I give him a teaspoon of beer. Then he's happy. He's all get out. And then he doesn't listen to anybody. Now, did you not want to name your cat? Because he's underage drinking. And then he's just a little bit of a guy actually because well, he's just ignorant. He's named Buster. I don't know if he's ignorant. He's just a sight. Well, no, Scott, I'm gone 200 days out of the year. He doesn't when I come home. He doesn't get beer when I'm gone.

Okay. My wife. And then I know. Yeah, that's right. Why don't you just get me a drink of the smoke while you're at it too? No, my wife will not give Buster beer. No, no. She gets mad at me if she catches me giving him beer. I have to say, don't come on, Buster, act casual. You didn't get no beer. And then he thinks he's eight foot tall and bulletproof like humans are. Is there a call of the day? Oh, hi. Hi, Tom. Hi, guys. Be good, brother. Oh, my God. It's just, it's just a casual. Sharing a beer with my cat is one dozen, you know, sharing a cigarette. Act casual. That's the best one of the day. Kelly and Overland Park. Hello. Hi, there's no way I can compete with that. That was pretty awesome. I've got a happy dog best story. My husband was a kid. They had a dog that they had hunting dog. They had three years. The hunting dog was named Duke.

Duke was never allowed into the kitchen. He was a kid. He was a kid. He was a kid. He was a kid. One day they noticed a growth on Duke's gum and took him to the vet and said it's cancer. It might be fairly advanced. It looks like it's going to go fast. You know, when the time comes, come back. We'll make it easy on Duke. He's been a good dog to your family. Brought the dog home. My mother-in-law felt so bad for him. She not only let him in the kitchen. She put a blanket in the corner where the air conditioning and the heat came out. Duke lived another four years. Very happily. I'll be done. Maybe it was a plot by Duke to get access to the kitchen. It was. I don't know. I thought it was a nice happy dog to have a story. Did the good boy get some human food from that on out? Oh, absolutely. Good. She was so strict, much nicer to him than her kids and her grandkids. She was less happy. She hated her kids and loved the dog.

Last word goes to sweet barb. Hi. Hi, honey. How are you? We're doing really well, Barb. I'm trying to get through all this stuff. I gotta go through it. I'm just. But anyway, when you're. When. A. When. When your heart procedure. Well, let me tell you what happened. I like to research. I went in, checked in everything. And they started to put the stuff in my arm and she says, well, let's get the eye done going. And I looked at, I said, oh, you can't get me eye done. I'm allergic. Well, then I had to go all through that all over again, come all the way back home because they didn't read my chart and say in that, I'm allergic to codeine and hard and. And codeine and the other one. And so now I got to start all over again. And you see on the news that now this is, I was gonna tell you this anyway. That. Oh, now I can't think the guy singer, but he had a step put in his brain. Oh, Billy Joe. Billy Joe. So I, that kind of gave me a, I've been nervous.

God about my age and everything, you know what I mean? But let's get to your dog story, but they have made so many advances with, with treatments for, for heart disease, etc., etc. You're going to be just fine. Just take a deep breath and relax and you'll be just fine. Okay. Anyway, I had a golden retriever lucky. And I found the minute ditch when he was six months old, happy to death. And my, I brought him home. He stayed with me for 22 years. God, I'll be darned. And I had to put him down. He got cancer in the throat. And I told him, I said, you had a wonderful life. So that you don't have, there's no, you shouldn't put animals to suffering when you know that they're not going to get any better because it doesn't, it doesn't solve the problem. Hmm. Well, I love you. I love you too. And keep us updated on the, on the heart situation. And like I said, just relax. Everything's going to be just fine. Okay. Thanks for asking. Okay. See you, buddy. 913-586-7798.

Why are you looking at me like that, man? Nothing. Oh, okay. Situating my mic, getting ready to read my commercial. Oh, yeah. Oh, you're a good idea. 913-586-7798. Sam Stevie III, Commander Jesse Reed. My name is Scott Parks. Here on KMBC. I'm Susie Welch, the host of Becoming You, a podcast where I help you stop living by default and start living by design. Listen to Becoming You, wherever you get your podcasts. All right. So, wallet hub. Is that with a Daniel report on the happiest states in America? I always like these quizzes. I just bum on these. Singling out the states with optimal conditions for overall satisfaction. Now, here's what they looked at. Health, finances, work, relationships, and free time.

Now, you might say, well, that's not a lot. They had 30 different key indicators on happiness alone, including depression rate, economic security, commute time, life expectancy, amount of sleep that you would get. Would you care to guess? Yes. Did you just say yes? I'm ready. Okay. Let's go with the top 10 happiest states, Sam. You are not included because you printed the story. I'm going to say Utah is on the list. Utah comes in at number three happiest. Okay. Montana. They're not very happy. They're at all 30. They're not. That's 30th. Well, they're busy not doing stuff like this. That's why they're so happy. I would say... And I need to point out that it looks like Connecticut and Rhode Island are not... If they have numbers, they're so small they didn't include them. Okay. How about Wyoming? Wyoming. They're not very happy either. I see.

43rd. 43rd. I just refused to believe that. Colorado. Not very happy. 36th. Really. I'm thinking of all the health stuff. I'm thinking of the places I like to go and get outdoors. Wow. Texas. Texas is 35th. I'm going to stop you. You're doing really bad. You're doing really bad. You're doing really bad. I'm assuming Connecticut and Rhode Island are in the top 10. I just don't know where they are because I can't find a 10 or a 9. Hawaii is number one. Number two is New Jersey. What? Number three. What's that supposed to be? No, I'm with Jesse. I'm not buying half of this list. I know what New Jersey is. I guess when we think of New Jersey, we think of like the Tri-City or the Tri-State area. Tony, soprano. Hey.
