Speaker 0 (0s): Hello, my friends. Welcome to Wednesday. Welcome to Wednesday. We made it til Wednesday. We're halfway there. Are you on the very top of the hump right now? Are you going up the hump or are you coming down the hub? Isn't hump a funny word. Some camels have one hump. Some of them have two. Do you think the Campbells that have two humps can carry more water? If you were going to ride a camel, would you want to sit in between the two humps? 

Would you want to be on a Campbell? Had had one hump. And if you wanted to be on a camel that had one hump, would you want to sit in front of the hump for in the back of the hump, you might be able to reach your arms around the hump and like hold onto it. Like it's a adult on a jet ski and you're a child. I don't know. I've never written a camel before. I'm just, I'm just asking. I'm just asking. All right. Is that so wrong? Oh, you can see how this one starting out. 

Can't you, you can see how this is starting out. Yes, indeed. My friends. Let me ask you. Have you ever been attacked by a dog? Have you? I have a couple of times and yesterday I got attacked by two dogs. I know what you're thinking. You should ride lucky George two dogs. Ah, it's not fun. 

It's not fun, especially. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm in good shape, but I'm not 22. Okay. You know what? Let me, let me begin at the beginning. Okay. How about that? That's always a good place to start. Imagine walking up a Hill, let's say it's Oh, I don't know. 40 meters from my friends who are on the metric system and a hundred yards for my friends in America. 

And you're walking up this uneven pavement in low wind ball, hold a 70 pound. Rottweiler comes running towards you. What do you do? What do you do? I'll tell you what you do. The first thing you do is you look back to see how far it is to your, your vehicle. You look back and you see the dog. 

Speaker 1 (3m 1s): And then in that split few seconds, you make a decision. Should I go back to my car or do I take a defensive posture for me? Luckily I wasn't that far from my vehicle. And I see it's important. Cause you don't ever want to turn your back on a dog. Want to do that unless you're not really in danger. 

And I wasn't really in danger for this first one right here. So I turned around. I make it back to my view. Not a big problem, not a big problem, but rest assured the customer though. We're supposed to get that package. Yeah. They're not getting that package. I want to help everybody out. But the moment your dog attacks me and you go on the list, you go on the list. I'm sorry. You go on the list. 

Which brings me to family. Number two. Now this scenario is a little bit different. This one's a little different. Aye. As the delivery driver. No, all the ducks dogs in my area. I know the route. I know the people, but there's this one family. And they have, they have three dogs. Most people abide by the leash law. 

However, some irresponsible pet owners, they don't think they need to abide by the leash law and a real quick subject here. Anyone who's ever I've been bit by a dog, knows this. The people that own the dog, that bit, the person they always say without fail. My dog never bites anybody, which is bullshit because your dog just bitten me. What you mean to say is my dogs never bitten me. 

That's what you dummies should say. Don't say my doctor a bit. Anybody it's just been me. Okay. Back to my story. So the first time walking down, another driveway kid grabs his 65, 70 pound sharpei and the dog's teeth are like Highrise getting all nuts. 

And the dog is wriggling and he wriggles free of the eight year olds. Not the kid's fault. I get it. It's not the kid's fault, but it doesn't change. The fact back to the dog, ran up and began. You know, it was like slow motion. Like I see him coming towards me. This is one where I couldn't run. I couldn't turn. I wasn't going to turn on. I'm too damn slow. I'm too damn white to run. I can't make it. So this time the dog's running at me and this is one, right? 

It's kind of square up my feet. I got to take my defensive posture. Things kind of slow down and he's running. And as he gets close, I can see like his lips are kind of the top part of his snout is pulled up and I can see the red and his white teeth. And I realized that the dogs about two and a half feet tall, which puts his snout right on par with my balls. 

And I don't like that. Not one bit. So the dogs running, I'm doing some math in my head thinking this dog two feet tall right there, right at my crotch area. So I grabbed, I grabbed, I had like a little, little ads, kind of like a little mini computer. You know, the things delivered people, you know, the little computer that delivery people. They carry with them. 

I grabbed that thing and I'm squared up. I'm an M in my wrestling stands kind of, and the dog jumps lunges. I turn out of the way. And I come with my right hand and smack them on the back of the head. Right? Not real hard. It was like a grazing blow. Think of like a boxer that like pulled back his head and the other guy just kinda caught him on the chin a little bit. Now the duck now, now me and the dog are circling and he's barking and I'm yelling. He's barking. He said, all right. 

I'm like on the fucking apex predator. It's kinda funny when I think about like that, but it's true. It's true. I was yelling at him, the dog jumps again. And this time, like he catches my shorts, which is scary. Cause again, that's right where my balls are. Right where my balls are. But lucky, lucky for me and him, I guess he's snagged my shorts. Do I get off a mean crack with my computer right on his dome. 

Right up, right up above his eyes. Right? Let's out a little whimper, just running back towards his house. Now I'm on the attack. So I chased the dog down the driveway and now I'm yelling. Like, I don't know, man. I'm yelling, I'm yelling. I'm mad, screaming out obscenities telling the dog on the apex predator. 

Neighbors are coming out. The lady runs out of her house. Tackles her dog. Kids are watching their jaw, the Slack jaw looking down with their mouth open. Adrenaline's going, I'm mad. Okay. That was the first time. Right? There's no recourse. I don't know. I don't get to go and yell at the lady or the kids we've already addressed it. 

It wasn't the child's fault, but I'm still mad at my adrenaline's still going. So I just let it go. But a month later, same house, same house. You see, let me, let me just interject it for a minute. I'd be well within my right. Not to ever deliver another package for those people. But that's not me. That's not my style. So about a month later happens again. It happens again. 

This time the doctors came flying out. Like I didn't even see him. He came running out and he tried to sneak up on me. But because we had had a previous battle, I think he was a little nervous. Cause he came out, tried to sneak attack. I turned around on him and I just yelled at him and he ran. I felt like I haven't established some dominance. I know what you're thinking. Hey George, why don't you just bring the dog to treatment? 

Hey George, why don't you just get a dog whistle? Hey George, why? You know, why don't you just maybe try to make yourself known so that people know you're there. Those a...
