Nick, Brendan, and Dr. Conor Brady discuss Nick's newly rescued puppy Jet, a likely greyhound or lurcher mix found as a stray with a collar. At 16 weeks old, Jet has a slender build and powerful legs, and the hosts compare him to Nick's other dogs while joking about his energetic nature and future breeding possibilities.
Hi, howdy doody, evening all.
So I hope your headphones are in and your recorders are on. My recorder is on.
Is your recorder on?
Thanks, Pete. Yeah, we're now live.
Yeah, thank you for your patience with us three numbskulls. Yeah, we're trying to get it all online.
It's not easy though, it's not easy to have— actually, I don't have my microphone plugged in. There you go. Like, it's just—
Don't you love it?
Well, Mike, never work, never, they say never work with animals or children. I'm working with both.
Yeah, there you go.
I do every Tuesday.
Nice, I like it.
You can choose which.
Come on, Nick. News, news of the week. Oh, you're going to say the same thing.
I was going to set him up. Yeah. Yeah. I heard you had a child. Another child.
We have. I should get a picture. Let me, let me grab my phone. No, I've got a picture. Yeah. I can share a picture.
Yeah.
Have you got one that you can put up on the screen, Brendan?
I can grab them on my phone.
I've got a really lovely one here. I've got a lot of him, actually. Here we go. Here we go. Oh, look at that. Are you ready? I'm not sure whether it's going to come out too well. There he is. Oh, he's called—
Oh yeah. Yeah.
Can you see? It's going to be fairly tiny. If you're on a mobile, you'll see him. So this is Jet. He came to live with us on Monday morning.
I hide myself and I hide—
Oh, nice one. Nice one.
There you go, quality.
Jet Thompson. Yeah, and he was found a month ago. He was found wandering down the road with a collar and lead on, and he was 12 weeks old at that stage, and he's now 16 weeks. And we've got, um, a lovely guy called Andy looked after him for, for, for 4 weeks and fed him up a bit. He's still skinny as anything, and he's come to us, and he's the most gentle soul. Uh, he's going to be an absolute beast of a runner, uh, because he's, he's got amazing, fantastic thick legs, but he's built like a rocket. He's like an Exocet.
For the benefit, the benefit of the podcasters, uh, Nick was just holding up an image. Oh, I was? Yeah, yeah. It was an image of what looks like a small black greyhound. Is he a full grey or what is he?
Don't know what he is because we don't know what his heritage is, but he looks greyhoundy and he may well come out as a greyhound. He looks like there's a bit of lurcher. It may even be 1/8 lurcher. There's a little bit of, you know, something happened alongside of the bed. What's the phrase?
I don't know.
The— there is a phrase, Brent, you'll know it.
Yeah, I'm not going nowhere near this one.
Oh, okay. All right, let's not go there. Yeah, so he might be pure Greyhound, but I think he's— he comes from kind of lurchery stock. So somewhere along the line, I think there's going to be a little dilution with other genes in there, which I'm quite looking forward to.
With, um, it's going to be a big boy compared to your, uh, yeah, what do you have at the moment? What are they?
Whip It Italian Greyhound. Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
And I'll tell you, their noses are so out of joint because this big. He's bigger than both of them right now.
Yeah, yeah.
Sixteen weeks. And bluebell is like, I'm not talking to him. And mouse is like, well, he's quite sexy.
Yeah, he's.
He's. He's stealing.
He's pre pubescent. Bloop.
Yeah, he's pretty pubescent. She is gonna love him.
She is gonn. What are you going to do, Nick? How are you going to keep them separate for certain times of the year?
Yeah, I will cross that one when we come to it. Yeah, it's tricky.
You're going to go for a vasectomy?
We'll probably have to go for a vasectomy. They'll be shagging all the time for, you know, for 6 weeks of the year.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll be a shagathon.
It will be a shagathon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And elderly blondes.
What's that? No, Session Blonde.
Yeah, I believe you're having a beer, Ben, because we had, uh, we had a few beers over the weekend, guys, that is for sure. Um, there was one or two. Yes, we did.
I was, I was, I think, a restrained man over the weekend with so much.
Yeah.
Um, guys, um, we're going on very well, but the sound is out. Everybody's saying, oh, we're breaking up again. Uh, Rowena says all three of us are talking together. We probably are because we're a bit excited about the new puppy. Where are you guys?
It's unwatchable.
Yeah, reboot. Yeah, let's do a reboot.
I don't know if a reboot worked last year.
