Show Notes
Imagine with me for a moment. You go into an abandoned amusement center, urban adventuring, and you see a tank full of greenish fluid. Your flashlight reflects off the glass as the sun sets through broken windows on the other side of the room, and that's when you see it-the silhouette of a giant shark, suspended in time, waiting for her adoring public to return. Rosie is seen, and she's both terrifying and vulnerable. This was a moment that was the catalyst for Rosie's return. Rescued by geologist extraordinaire, palientologist, world traveler, owner of Crystal World, board and/or consult for multiple museums, and all around amazing and down to earth dude (basically everything any kid wanted to be when they grew up) Tom Kapitany, she was given a new lease on life. She is slowly being preserved for future onlookers, and she is a mirror to the human spirit. Please, listen to her story. Also, side note, we are still planning to release a bunch of videos eventually, and it will make this episode even better. Tom gave us a tour of Crystal World, and as much as we try to describe, it's much better seen than heard. However, the conversation was just too good to get rid of, so apologies for some of the parts that need to be seen. Just take our word for it, the venture to Victoria Australia. If Rosie's story has touched you, please consider donating to the GoFundMe, or at least, sharing it on your socials. https://www.gofundme.com/f/rosie-the-shark https://www.crystalworld.com.au/rosie-the-shark/

Want the best kind of uncontained chaos? Bring back two of the most energetic, outspoken, and incredibly badass guests (who are besties) and give them mics, and have them talk about the pitfalls and problems in the shelter world, and you get this. Listen as Kristi, the Doggy Daycare Idiot, and Melinda, The Rescue Idiot, talk shelters with Kent and Cory. It gets good. Unhinged, all over the world, but good. Lots of talk about how to make a good shelter and why some places fail their dogs.

Holy cow, folks! We have a great episode in store this week. The Idiots welcome comedien/musician/roast master/peak awesome human being Rebecca Jaffe to talk about dog walking. For a lot of people, dog walking is just a vehicle for a romcom couple to meet, but for some, it's a way to make ends meet and allow busy people the chance to have their dogs get exercise. They discuss how dogwalking works, different apps (think Tinder or Uber, but for dogwalkers), then move into more important topics, such as the best worst movies, and finish up with a few (semi-animal related) songs. Rebecca really is the best. Check her out! https://www.rebjaffe.com/ https://www.instagram.com/reb_jaffe/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/5uvqAQAGoBQo9qh3zSscFO

The opinions and statements made in this episode do not in any way reflect the beliefs or mindsets of the crew at Vet Med For Idiots By Idiots. Good Tuesday, and we have a fun episode for you. Dr. Kevin, the Longevity Idiot, joins the The Common Idiot and the Associate Producer Idiot for a talk of how to lengthen your pet's lives. I mean, who would NOT want more time with their furry companion. They discuss things such as limiting joint and fall impacts, healthy lifestyles, diets, and other ways for Fido to live a healthier and happier (and longer) life. We also talk cheeseburgers, so, there's a long ways to go for us. https://helpingpetslivelonger.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqr51hq35KWnythXa3ZaK0zHNcBNZ-qech7MnAx9jHFmSG1n6lf https://www.instagram.com/thelongevityvet/
I have to say, sometimes something worming its way into your heart is not a good thing. Case in point, heart worms, the topic this week. Kent and Cory talk preventatives, symptoms, and other random tangents. The only time you should not have heart worm prevantitives, or have any concerns for your dog regarding heart worms, is if you live somewhere that mosquitoes exclusively do not live and will never be. If that doesn't describe your locale, take care of your doggo's heart.
Wanna talk about anatomical pathology? We make it sounds oh so sexy this week with the awesome and funny Dr. Mike Dark. We discuss what it is, what differentiates it from clinical pathology, its purpose and practical uses, Michigan cities, and mostly not go off on too many tangents. Enjoy! What better way to enjoy your Cinco De Mayo!
