38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: a good time last year that we brought it back

39
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:38,759

00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 3: going to get like real hybrid dogs. You're going to

43
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: get famous influencer dogs. The other day, I walked up

44
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: to a dog and said, what a beautiful dog you have,

45
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 3: and the person said, oh, well she's famous. Didn't you

46
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: know she's the target dog?

47
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: Elevatur didn't know that. How amazing.

48
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So let's talk about the music for a little

49
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: bit because we can hear that a little bit in

50
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: the background, and that goes on throughout the day.

51
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, throughout the day.

52
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: It's an oompapa band unintended Poapa de Sour Krauts is

53
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: playing in and out throughout the day. It's um papa music.

54
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: So it's a lot of fun. It's a little bit

55
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: of sort of Disneyland vibe to the background and nice

56
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: background music. The band leader is leading contests with our participants,

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: so steinholding contests, and my favorite is the pretzel toss.

58
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 2: I saw the pretzel toss. Who can anybody participate in that?

59
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: Anyone can participate?

60
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: It's really ridiculous. You're going to put a plunger on

61
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: your head and your partner is going to try and

62
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: toss the pretzel onto your head.

63
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: That's pretty cute. Okay, we might have to try that out.

64
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: Okay, then it wouldn't be a dog tober Fest, which

65
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: sort of is, you know, a hybrid between octoberfests and

66
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: doctober fests. If we didn't have some lovely beers to sample.

67
