00:02:28.213 --> 00:02:29.093

00:02:30.033 --> 00:02:30.933

00:02:30.953 --> 00:02:31.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It's my pleasure.
00:02:31.753 --> 00:02:33.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Do you know what we're celebrating today?
00:02:33.513 --> 00:02:35.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Why I'm wearing hot pink?
00:02:35.453 --> 00:02:38.673
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We're celebrating love and Valentine's Day.
00:02:39.493 --> 00:02:40.853
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm always down for that.
00:02:41.053 --> 00:02:42.533
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Always down for celebrating love.
00:02:42.973 --> 00:02:43.393
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:02:43.433 --> 00:02:47.993
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So before we get started, I need to know relationship status just for the viewers.
00:02:48.253 --> 00:02:51.533
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Single and straight.
00:02:51.553 --> 00:02:52.553
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Single and straight.
00:02:54.433 --> 00:02:55.353
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Single and straight.
00:02:55.833 --> 00:02:56.193
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay.
00:02:56.213 --> 00:02:56.953
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Fantastic.
00:02:57.253 --> 00:02:58.553
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I am straight but not single.
00:02:58.613 --> 00:02:59.073
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Sorry.
00:02:59.193 --> 00:02:59.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Sorry, guys.
00:02:59.853 --> 00:03:00.273
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Sorry.
00:03:00.653 --> 00:03:06.573
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But I just wanted to know for our viewers, for our listeners, just so that the mystery is gone.
00:03:06.913 --> 00:03:16.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But before I dig into who you guys are, I'm sure most people know, but for those who don't, I want to dig into all of your story, your romance, because that's what we're celebrating here.
00:03:17.593 --> 00:03:27.873
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And all that you guys do for the animals, because that's what makes you guys so special, is how much advocacy you do for the cats of the United States and in your area specifically.
00:03:28.193 --> 00:03:30.973
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So before we do that, though, I'm going to introduce our drinking game today.
00:03:30.993 --> 00:03:33.893
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So my guests won't know what the drinking word is.
00:03:34.113 --> 00:03:38.433
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But every time you hear this word, "the secret word is pickles".
00:03:39.453 --> 00:03:46.913
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Take a drink of whatever you're enjoying, but please be over 21 in the US to partake in an alcoholic beverage, never drink and drive, and always drink responsibly.
00:03:47.173 --> 00:03:49.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So this is a boozy show for pet lovers.
00:03:49.233 --> 00:03:50.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So what are you guys having?
00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:53.073
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Who wants to start telling me what you're boozing on today?
00:03:53.473 --> 00:03:56.073
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Well, since it is midday, I'm starting with a beer.
00:03:56.193 --> 00:03:59.973
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I got a little Long Island lager rocking right now.
00:03:59.993 --> 00:04:03.073
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So I'm chilling on a lager, but I got a second one here.
00:04:03.073 --> 00:04:08.093
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And now that we know there's going to be a word to drink, that's fantastic.
00:04:09.633 --> 00:04:13.413
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You guys are lucky that I don't know what it is because I would make you drink so much.
00:04:14.313 --> 00:04:18.993
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You're going to need that extra drink because we are playing a drinking game in the second half of the show.
00:04:19.373 --> 00:04:21.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Sterling, what are you having today?
00:04:21.073 --> 00:04:24.613
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I've started light because it's a little early with a white claw.
00:04:24.973 --> 00:04:27.653
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay, so you both are starting light with a beer and a white claw.
00:04:27.673 --> 00:04:33.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: What is your usual drink when you're like at Super Zoo or one of your events that you're having a fun time letting your hair down?
00:04:34.453 --> 00:04:36.493
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I've been a whiskey or tequila guy lately.
00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:40.833
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Tequila, depending on how bad I want the night to be, and if I want to remember it.
00:04:41.113 --> 00:04:46.133
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Whiskey, if I'm just like, I'm going to behave, but it'll probably happen at some point.
00:04:46.673 --> 00:04:48.153
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay, and how about you, Sterling?
00:04:51.893 --> 00:04:52.673
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Me too!
00:04:52.693 --> 00:04:53.893
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm a tequila girl.
00:04:53.913 --> 00:04:59.173
Isabel Alvarez Arata: My alter ego's name is Tequila Totti because that was my nickname growing up.
00:04:59.193 --> 00:05:00.813
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm Tequila Totti!
00:05:03.973 --> 00:05:04.453
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Thank you.
00:05:04.473 --> 00:05:05.293
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I appreciate it.
00:05:06.233 --> 00:05:11.013
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: What Sterling won't tell you is he starts off the night with Long Island Iced Teas and switches to tequila.
00:05:11.293 --> 00:05:16.733
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He never admits it, but he orders a Long Island Iced Tea at dinner and goes through two or three.
00:05:16.933 --> 00:05:17.973
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That's his base.
00:05:18.053 --> 00:05:19.093
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then tequila.
00:05:19.653 --> 00:05:20.853
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Let's be honest, Sterling.
00:05:21.273 --> 00:05:22.733
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Nathan knows me too good.
00:05:22.753 --> 00:05:25.773
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I have been known to start with a Long Island, yeah.
00:05:26.033 --> 00:05:29.313
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay, so I have seen you guys out at like 2 a.m.
00:05:29.333 --> 00:05:29.893
Isabel Alvarez Arata: in Vegas.
00:05:29.973 --> 00:05:36.113
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I would have never said that Sterling was that deep into Long Island Iced Teas, so you must– you carry your liquor well.
00:05:36.133 --> 00:05:37.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You hold your liquor well.
00:05:37.313 --> 00:05:38.813
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: He carries it to a point.
00:05:39.613 --> 00:05:43.453
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Sterling has a tip– he has a very fine tipping point.
00:05:43.613 --> 00:05:45.593
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You know the straw that broke the camel's back?
00:05:46.073 --> 00:05:46.473
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yes.
00:05:47.093 --> 00:05:56.353
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Sterling will be good, and then he takes that one sip, and then I'm tracking him, trying to find him in Vegas casinos at 4 in the morning, because he refuses to answer his phone.
00:05:58.993 --> 00:05:59.913
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm a slow build.
00:05:59.933 --> 00:06:00.333
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I get super cuddly.
00:06:00.353 --> 00:06:02.193
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I don't know what this dude is talking about.
00:06:02.853 --> 00:06:04.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You guys both get super cuddly.
00:06:04.753 --> 00:06:06.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I've seen y'all in action.
00:06:06.053 --> 00:06:11.753
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You guys both get super cuddly with all of your fans that follow you around Vegas, but I won't tell.
00:06:11.953 --> 00:06:12.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm observing.
00:06:12.793 --> 00:06:14.513
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm not going to say anything.
00:06:14.713 --> 00:06:17.453
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Well, I'm actually joining you guys with a romantic drink.
00:06:17.633 --> 00:06:19.973
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I call this the Blossom Gin and Tonic.
00:06:20.353 --> 00:06:21.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It's got pink.
00:06:21.813 --> 00:06:26.113
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It's got rose petals in there that I picked up in Spain when I was there, and I love a gin tonic.
00:06:26.133 --> 00:06:26.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So cheers, guys.
00:06:26.813 --> 00:06:27.973
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Thanks for being on the show.
00:06:28.333 --> 00:06:29.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Heck yeah.
00:06:30.673 --> 00:06:31.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cheers.
00:06:31.113 --> 00:06:31.353
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cheers.
00:06:31.373 --> 00:06:31.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cheers.
00:06:31.813 --> 00:06:32.193
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:06:32.213 --> 00:06:35.813
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So guys, I always introduce this show with a game, and today is no different.
00:06:35.993 --> 00:06:45.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Today because we are celebrating Valentine's Day, and I know that you are both straight single men, I can invite you to play hat-inspired pickup lines.
00:06:45.733 --> 00:06:57.553
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And you're going to tell me if your perfect girl, just whomever that is, comes up to you and says these lines, if they would work or if they would not.
00:06:57.573 --> 00:07:02.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But I'm actually going to change this to gallery view so I can see everybody's reactions.
00:07:04.333 --> 00:07:04.853
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: All right.
00:07:05.773 --> 00:07:06.533
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:07:08.293 --> 00:07:09.593
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So I'm going to give them both to you.
00:07:09.773 --> 00:07:12.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Both of you are going to tell me whether or not this would work.
00:07:12.273 --> 00:07:13.473
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Are you guys ready to play?
00:07:13.873 --> 00:07:14.433
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So ready.
00:07:15.373 --> 00:07:16.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:07:19.033 --> 00:07:20.333
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Are you wearing patnip?
00:07:20.353 --> 00:07:22.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Because you've got me all worked up.
00:07:22.073 --> 00:07:23.753
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: 100% would work.
00:07:25.313 --> 00:07:26.693
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Not 100%, but it will work.
00:07:26.713 --> 00:07:27.893
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Well, let me explain.
00:07:27.913 --> 00:07:30.533
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I mean, of course, depending on the person sending.
00:07:30.553 --> 00:07:31.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: No, no, no.
00:07:31.113 --> 00:07:33.553
Isabel Alvarez Arata: No, this is your ideal match.
00:07:34.533 --> 00:07:35.053
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That's what I thought.
00:07:35.073 --> 00:07:35.273
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah.
00:07:35.293 --> 00:07:37.213
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So ideal, 100% does work.
00:07:37.353 --> 00:07:37.753
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:07:37.773 --> 00:07:38.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Can I be honest?
00:07:38.833 --> 00:07:41.073
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'd like to climb you like a cat tree.
00:07:43.913 --> 00:07:44.933
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Again, you know what?
00:07:44.953 --> 00:07:46.753
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm going 100% yes on this.
00:07:46.773 --> 00:07:47.553
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I'll tell you why.
00:07:47.633 --> 00:07:48.313
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Here's the thing.
00:07:48.893 --> 00:07:50.653
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Girls never drop pick-up lines.
00:07:51.193 --> 00:07:54.713
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You want to see the extent of a girl hitting on you in a bar or a club or something?
00:07:54.733 --> 00:07:55.693
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm going to roll over here.
00:07:55.733 --> 00:07:57.033
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: This is the extent that you get.
00:07:57.053 --> 00:08:04.593
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm supposed to see that little shy look away and go, I think she wants me to come over and hit.
00:08:04.753 --> 00:08:05.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: But they will not give.
00:08:05.653 --> 00:08:11.553
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So if a girl walked up to me and confidently was like, I'm going to climb you like a cat tree, I'd be like, I'm going to buy you a drink right now.
00:08:12.973 --> 00:08:17.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I think that anybody who utters these, anybody who utters these deserves a drink.
00:08:17.133 --> 00:08:17.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I really do.
00:08:17.813 --> 00:08:19.873
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I really do think that they've earned a drink.
00:08:20.033 --> 00:08:20.833
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cat-related?
00:08:21.513 --> 00:08:22.113
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cat-related.
00:08:22.133 --> 00:08:22.953
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I mean, of course.
00:08:23.153 --> 00:08:25.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Are those your pheromones or is it a plug-in?
00:08:29.493 --> 00:08:30.933
<v SPEAKER_2>I got a little puzzled on that one.
00:08:32.333 --> 00:08:33.653
Isabel Alvarez Arata: A pheromone plug-in!
00:08:33.673 --> 00:08:35.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I mean, it's not inspired.
00:08:35.333 --> 00:08:36.513
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah, I get it.
00:08:37.513 --> 00:08:38.533
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It's not working for you.
00:08:38.813 --> 00:08:41.333
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: It's like a feel-away type of deal.
00:08:41.353 --> 00:08:43.493
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, yeah, it's a feel-away reference.
00:08:43.513 --> 00:08:44.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, it is.
00:08:44.793 --> 00:08:46.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Honorable mention, right?
00:08:46.073 --> 00:08:47.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Honorable mention on that one.
00:08:48.093 --> 00:08:48.453
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:08:49.693 --> 00:08:53.173
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You must be a laser pointer because you've got my full attention.
00:08:58.433 --> 00:09:00.733
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'll give that one like a 70%.
00:09:00.833 --> 00:09:01.333
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It's cute.
00:09:02.433 --> 00:09:04.333
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: The other ones were definitely better, but it's not bad.
00:09:04.873 --> 00:09:05.573
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:09:06.513 --> 00:09:07.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We have a few.
00:09:08.573 --> 00:09:12.913
Isabel Alvarez Arata: If I said you had nice whiskers, would you hold them against me?
00:09:13.093 --> 00:09:16.333
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I know the original one that comes from, and so I like that.
00:09:18.173 --> 00:09:18.773
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm down.
00:09:18.793 --> 00:09:19.193
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm down.
00:09:21.313 --> 00:09:22.273
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That's seven out of ten.
00:09:23.193 --> 00:09:23.633
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:09:23.653 --> 00:09:23.913
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Cool.
00:09:23.933 --> 00:09:24.153
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Cool.
00:09:24.453 --> 00:09:24.853
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:09:24.873 --> 00:09:25.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Let's see next one.
00:09:25.933 --> 00:09:26.373
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: This one.
00:09:26.393 --> 00:09:28.393
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I don't even know if I can say this one.
00:09:29.453 --> 00:09:32.753
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Take a sip of your gin and blossom.
00:09:33.213 --> 00:09:36.113
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: The fact that you can't say it, I like it.
00:09:36.573 --> 00:09:36.873
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:09:36.893 --> 00:09:37.373
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You're ready.
00:09:37.393 --> 00:09:38.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You're intrigued.
00:09:38.753 --> 00:09:40.333
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Are you a cat whisperer?
00:09:40.633 --> 00:09:43.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You look like you'd know your way around a pussy.
00:09:49.073 --> 00:09:50.193
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh my goodness.
00:09:50.493 --> 00:09:54.693
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That was, man, you know, this reminds me too much of my one Wednesday Sterling.
00:09:55.053 --> 00:09:56.793
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Right, right, right, right, right, right.
00:09:57.013 --> 00:09:57.993
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That's what it is.
00:09:58.013 --> 00:10:00.653
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That is you're getting a drink.
00:10:00.673 --> 00:10:01.213
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm buying it.
00:10:02.013 --> 00:10:02.913
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:02.933 --> 00:10:04.653
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Like I'm sorry.
00:10:04.973 --> 00:10:06.913
Isabel Alvarez Arata: If I'm there, I'm buying her a drink too.
00:10:07.433 --> 00:10:08.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That is, that is fair.
00:10:08.653 --> 00:10:09.713
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That is, that is fair.
00:10:09.733 --> 00:10:11.393
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: If you say that, you got me.
00:10:11.413 --> 00:10:14.413
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: You, you, you, I'm going to have to continue to kind of say that at the very least.
00:10:14.433 --> 00:10:16.893
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I literally, my heart is pounding.
00:10:16.913 --> 00:10:18.293
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm so embarrassed having said that.
00:10:18.313 --> 00:10:20.513
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So I definitely did not pick my husband up that way.
00:10:20.533 --> 00:10:21.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I assure you.
00:10:23.193 --> 00:10:26.293
Isabel Alvarez Arata: What if we went back to your place and made each other purr?
00:10:28.313 --> 00:10:30.393
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm a sucker for anything with purr in it.
00:10:33.473 --> 00:10:36.533
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Nathan's on the fence about that one.
00:10:36.893 --> 00:10:37.733
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It's not bad.
00:10:39.173 --> 00:10:40.673
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I love the confidence one.
00:10:40.973 --> 00:10:42.893
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: The confidence is key.
00:10:44.313 --> 00:10:47.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is that a furball or are you just happy to see me?
00:10:47.113 --> 00:10:50.833
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I feel like I would be more offended by that.
00:10:53.033 --> 00:10:54.173
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You're like a furball.
00:10:54.193 --> 00:10:55.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: How dare you?
00:10:58.013 --> 00:11:00.273
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That's the one that sound I wake up for.
00:11:00.493 --> 00:11:00.893
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Alright.
00:11:00.913 --> 00:11:01.293
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Let's see.
00:11:01.313 --> 00:11:01.753
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Last one.
00:11:01.773 --> 00:11:02.373
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, that's true.
00:11:02.393 --> 00:11:03.353
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You don't want that.
00:11:03.613 --> 00:11:04.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay.
00:11:04.153 --> 00:11:06.993
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Pet me to see what girlfriend material feels like.
00:11:08.093 --> 00:11:09.273
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh, that's kind of good.
00:11:09.533 --> 00:11:10.633
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's a good one, right?
00:11:12.933 --> 00:11:14.193
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I did not come up with that one.
00:11:14.213 --> 00:11:16.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's a shout out to Specs Eyewear.
00:11:16.033 --> 00:11:18.993
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Christina on my page, she actually gave that one to me.
00:11:20.493 --> 00:11:21.413
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That would work on me.
00:11:23.393 --> 00:11:24.553
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Not bad, right?
00:11:24.673 --> 00:11:25.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Alright.
00:11:25.153 --> 00:11:26.173
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Well, good job, guys.
00:11:26.193 --> 00:11:27.413
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You guys are good sports.
00:11:27.413 --> 00:11:29.533
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I appreciate you playing along with me.
00:11:30.313 --> 00:11:33.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I will never forget your expressions on some of those.
00:11:34.273 --> 00:11:35.973
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I didn't know what to expect.
00:11:36.353 --> 00:11:39.253
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You caught me off guard with the pussy one.
00:11:39.333 --> 00:11:39.953
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That was cold.
00:11:40.773 --> 00:11:41.073
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Come on.
00:11:41.113 --> 00:11:42.753
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It's a pet-related show.
00:11:42.773 --> 00:11:45.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We talk about pussy and we talk about poo.
00:11:45.053 --> 00:11:46.273
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Like, that's what we do here, guys.
00:11:46.293 --> 00:11:48.533
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Hey, Sterling and I made a pussy joke on Shark Tank.
00:11:48.553 --> 00:11:48.973
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Did you really?
00:11:48.993 --> 00:11:51.513
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I was about to say that took us back to the Shark Tank days.
00:11:51.533 --> 00:11:55.733
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So, Sterling and I launched a cat person's dating app on Shark Tank a couple years ago.
00:11:56.033 --> 00:12:02.073
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And our opening line was, Lilay said, Can you believe that these guys have been rejected on dating apps for something they both love?
00:12:02.333 --> 00:12:03.293
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And we said, Pussy!
00:12:03.493 --> 00:12:03.993
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Cats!
00:12:04.413 --> 00:12:05.693
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: We had cats in our hands.
00:12:07.553 --> 00:12:08.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That is perfection.
00:12:08.273 --> 00:12:09.493
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I had a way with that one.
00:12:09.513 --> 00:12:10.053
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He loved it.
00:12:11.313 --> 00:12:12.133
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Mark Cuban kept saying it.
00:12:12.333 --> 00:12:13.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, I'm sure he did.
00:12:13.273 --> 00:12:15.333
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Did they have to bleep it?
00:12:15.353 --> 00:12:17.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Or was it family friendly?
00:12:17.073 --> 00:12:18.793
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We spoke to the lawyers ahead of time.
00:12:18.833 --> 00:12:23.453
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: As long as we didn't leave more than like, it was like 1.7 seconds.
00:12:23.473 --> 00:12:24.373
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Like, very specific.
00:12:24.593 --> 00:12:27.593
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: As long as there wasn't that long of a gap, it was fine.
00:12:27.613 --> 00:12:29.733
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: But if we paused too long, it was out.
00:12:29.993 --> 00:12:32.193
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So, we had it down.
00:12:32.213 --> 00:12:33.193
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: We had to rehearse that.
00:12:35.513 --> 00:12:36.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So, wait.
00:12:36.073 --> 00:12:38.893
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So, I'm going to have to edit Pat into my question, aren't I?
00:12:40.073 --> 00:12:40.913
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: This isn't Shark Tank.
00:12:40.933 --> 00:12:41.833
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You can do what you want.
00:12:43.573 --> 00:12:52.193
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I think my executive producer has had to use the beep sometimes with the F-bombs on this show and on some colorful language.
00:12:52.433 --> 00:12:53.713
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I've had colorful guests.
00:12:53.753 --> 00:12:54.833
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So, you know.
00:12:55.013 --> 00:12:55.473
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Alright.
00:12:55.473 --> 00:12:57.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So, I love your relationship.
00:12:57.973 --> 00:13:01.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We're celebrating romance, romance, love.
00:13:02.033 --> 00:13:03.293
Isabel Alvarez Arata: How did you guys meet?
00:13:03.753 --> 00:13:04.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Take us back.
00:13:04.273 --> 00:13:06.593
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Catman Bingo at a cat cafe, like everyone meets.
00:13:08.273 --> 00:13:10.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Wait, what city were you in?
00:13:10.153 --> 00:13:12.453
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Catman Bingo at a cat cafe?
00:13:12.613 --> 00:13:13.793
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Yeah, in LA.
00:13:13.813 --> 00:13:14.893
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It was in LA.
00:13:14.913 --> 00:13:19.713
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We were at a cat cafe lounge in Culver City.
00:13:20.213 --> 00:13:23.193
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I had been going there to help kind of promote them.
00:13:23.213 --> 00:13:26.433
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I just started getting into rescue and sanctuaries and stuff.
00:13:27.173 --> 00:13:29.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And they were like, Hey, we're doing Catman Bingo.
00:13:29.653 --> 00:13:30.293
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Do you want to come?
00:13:30.313 --> 00:13:32.473
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I was like, I don't know what that is, but yes.
00:13:32.793 --> 00:13:35.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And it was Sterling and Catman.
00:13:37.233 --> 00:13:38.253
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Catman West Oakland.
00:13:38.873 --> 00:13:39.773
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And they were hosting.
00:13:39.793 --> 00:13:41.693
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then at one point they were like, Do you want to get up and do this?
00:13:41.713 --> 00:13:42.553
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I was like, I'll help.
00:13:42.573 --> 00:13:46.533
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I like read some off and made a bunch of dirty jokes.
00:13:46.573 --> 00:13:48.053
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And we got along real well.
00:13:48.493 --> 00:13:49.353
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then, yeah.
00:13:49.433 --> 00:13:51.373
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then I bumped into him again at CatCon.
00:13:51.713 --> 00:13:53.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I was like, Hey, Catman Bingo guy.
00:13:53.653 --> 00:13:54.833
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And we just, we hit it off.
00:13:55.013 --> 00:13:57.553
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And then after that, it was like, yeah.
00:13:57.633 --> 00:14:00.513
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We hosted KittyCon in Tampa after that together.
00:14:00.673 --> 00:14:02.813
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then from there, it was like, we're in.
00:14:03.273 --> 00:14:05.053
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: We just kept running into each other.
00:14:05.073 --> 00:14:07.313
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: So it was like, after that, it was like, we clicked.
00:14:07.333 --> 00:14:09.133
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And then it was like, Hey, you here?
00:14:09.153 --> 00:14:10.453
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Hey, wait, it's the homie.
00:14:10.573 --> 00:14:14.813
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I think it was drinking in Tampa that really locked it in, though.
00:14:14.813 --> 00:14:15.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah.
00:14:15.433 --> 00:14:16.353
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Yeah.
00:14:16.413 --> 00:14:18.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's why we drink on this show.
00:14:18.073 --> 00:14:22.573
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Because you can really tell you have like chemistry with somebody when you're having a cocktail together.
00:14:22.593 --> 00:14:23.493
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I completely agree.
00:14:23.913 --> 00:14:25.073
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So how long ago was that?
00:14:25.313 --> 00:14:26.853
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That was in 19, five years.
00:14:27.353 --> 00:14:28.933
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Oh, so right before the pandemic.
00:14:29.273 --> 00:14:31.753
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah, it was like, yeah, right before the pandemic.
00:14:31.853 --> 00:14:32.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah.
00:14:33.553 --> 00:14:36.473
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So would you guys call your relationship a bromance?
00:14:36.493 --> 00:14:37.993
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is that something that you guys have?
00:14:38.573 --> 00:14:39.793
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We call it a bromance all the time.
00:14:40.653 --> 00:14:41.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay.
00:14:41.313 --> 00:14:42.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Just want to make sure that.
00:14:43.173 --> 00:14:44.313
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:14:44.313 --> 00:14:46.613
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And when did you guys start partnering?
00:14:46.633 --> 00:14:47.973
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is that Tampa trip?
00:14:47.993 --> 00:14:50.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Like, were you, was that a choice?
00:14:50.273 --> 00:14:51.573
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That wasn't even intentional.
00:14:51.933 --> 00:15:02.693
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: They were trying to get a host and they couldn't decide between, like, and it's funny how many times this has happened to us where they were like, yeah, we're trying to get somebody, but we want you to.
00:15:02.713 --> 00:15:05.233
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And we're thinking about this guy Sterling the TrapKing.
00:15:05.253 --> 00:15:07.593
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I was like, that's my, yeah, let's do it together.
00:15:07.853 --> 00:15:08.873
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So they got us both.
00:15:09.173 --> 00:15:15.733
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then with Shark Tank 2, the dating app, this company who had a dog person's dating app wanted to do a cat one.
00:15:16.113 --> 00:15:18.153
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And they're like, yeah, we need like a representative.
00:15:18.153 --> 00:15:21.853
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And so they were reaching out and they were negotiating between me and Sterling.
00:15:21.873 --> 00:15:23.693
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I was like, well, who's the other guy?
00:15:23.893 --> 00:15:26.073
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And they're like, oh, it's this guy Sterling the TrapKing.
00:15:26.093 --> 00:15:27.413
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I was like, we'll do it together.
00:15:27.433 --> 00:15:29.853
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He's like, well, yeah, so yeah.
00:15:29.873 --> 00:15:32.773
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So we've been partnering on as many things as we can.
00:15:32.793 --> 00:15:37.353
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: A lot of brand deals, a lot of, you know, and then the conventions, of course, where we met.
00:15:37.453 --> 00:15:37.813
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah.
00:15:37.833 --> 00:15:38.093
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Yeah.
00:15:38.153 --> 00:15:39.833
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We do the convention circuit a lot.
00:15:40.593 --> 00:15:43.493
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So what is with the Catalyst Robes?
00:15:43.573 --> 00:15:45.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Why are you guys always in robes?
00:15:46.173 --> 00:15:48.033
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So, I mean, we're crazy cat ladies.
00:15:48.233 --> 00:15:49.493
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: So you got to have a robe.
00:15:49.873 --> 00:15:54.153
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So we like to lean into the stereotype because then you can make it cool.
00:15:54.253 --> 00:15:58.133
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You know, like the fastest way to make totally anything cool is to lean into it.
00:15:58.153 --> 00:15:59.953
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then it's not a problem anymore.
00:16:00.233 --> 00:16:03.933
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So I used to wear bath robes on my page all the time is like a joke.
00:16:04.113 --> 00:16:06.393
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: You know, I'd be like, oh, yeah, crazy cat lady, I drink wine.
00:16:06.413 --> 00:16:11.353
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I hosted a Wine Wednesday on my live stream where I drink a bottle of wine in a bathrobe on a hoverboard.
00:16:12.073 --> 00:16:14.753
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And then Catalyst was like, hey, come out to.
00:16:15.293 --> 00:16:16.713
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I think it was Super Zoo was the first one.
00:16:16.733 --> 00:16:18.553
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Was it Super Zoo or Global the first one?
00:16:18.753 --> 00:16:19.973
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I don't think it was Global.
00:16:20.113 --> 00:16:20.513
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I don't know.
00:16:20.533 --> 00:16:21.593
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So much has happened since then.
00:16:21.613 --> 00:16:24.673
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: But they were like, yeah, we need to get you guys branded like shirts.
00:16:24.693 --> 00:16:26.193
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Like you want shirts, jackets.
00:16:26.293 --> 00:16:28.313
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And we were like, how about bath robes?
00:16:28.333 --> 00:16:29.613
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We're crazy cat ladies.
00:16:29.813 --> 00:16:31.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So they printed bath robes.
00:16:31.773 --> 00:16:33.533
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And now it's it's become a thing.
00:16:33.553 --> 00:16:35.473
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Like I got Sterling and I are old custom ones.
00:16:35.493 --> 00:16:38.033
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Mine says Cat Lady on the back, his says TrapKing.
00:16:38.233 --> 00:16:43.033
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I've had three other brands send me a custom bathrobe with their print on it to wear.
00:16:43.053 --> 00:16:46.473
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So I have I have like seven bath robes in my closet right now.
00:16:46.813 --> 00:16:47.693
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It's fantastic.
00:16:47.713 --> 00:16:49.433
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That that is amazing.
00:16:49.613 --> 00:16:50.653
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I love it.
00:16:50.993 --> 00:16:53.473
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I haven't counted how many robes I got, but it's a lot.
00:16:53.653 --> 00:16:54.233
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: It's a lot.
00:16:54.253 --> 00:16:54.633
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Really?
00:16:54.893 --> 00:16:55.393
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Really?
00:16:55.953 --> 00:16:56.373
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:16:56.393 --> 00:16:56.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:16:57.293 --> 00:17:03.353
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I had a fellow crazy cat lady on the show, Carolyn Rafferty, who does the Cat Savant.
00:17:03.553 --> 00:17:05.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: She was talking about catalyst.
00:17:05.353 --> 00:17:09.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, she was talking about catalyst cat litter and how she's going to try it and all this.
00:17:09.153 --> 00:17:10.113
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I asked her.
00:17:10.153 --> 00:17:13.093
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So, why do Nathan and Sterling wear robes?
00:17:13.293 --> 00:17:14.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: She couldn't figure it out.
00:17:14.233 --> 00:17:15.213
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Nobody could figure it out.
00:17:15.493 --> 00:17:18.353
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So, I'm glad that I finally have you guys to clear it up for us.
00:17:18.653 --> 00:17:25.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I definitely think that you guys, along with the two crazy cat ladies, have made it cool to be a crazy cat lady.
00:17:25.193 --> 00:17:25.893
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: 100%.
00:17:25.993 --> 00:17:27.493
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh, I love the two crazy cat ladies.
00:17:27.693 --> 00:17:29.013
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Shout out to Jay and Adrienne.
00:17:29.033 --> 00:17:29.513
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: They're the best.
00:17:29.773 --> 00:17:31.133
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Shout out, Jay and Adrienne.
00:17:31.153 --> 00:17:32.373
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I met them on the show.
00:17:32.373 --> 00:17:34.293
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I actually invited them on the show.
00:17:34.293 --> 00:17:36.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We hit it off, had a great episode.
00:17:37.193 --> 00:17:40.693
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Then I finally got to see them in real life at Super Zoo in 2022.
00:17:40.713 --> 00:17:41.813
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I adore them.
00:17:41.833 --> 00:17:42.513
Isabel Alvarez Arata: They're wonderful.
00:17:42.873 --> 00:17:44.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's when I met you guys at their party.
00:17:45.033 --> 00:17:50.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Were you always, Nathan, a cat person before you got involved in all this?
00:17:51.293 --> 00:17:51.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It's funny.
00:17:51.653 --> 00:17:55.493
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I grew up with three cats and two dogs.
00:17:55.513 --> 00:17:57.753
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I always had cats in the house.
00:17:57.773 --> 00:17:59.253
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: My whole room was like a jungle.
00:17:59.273 --> 00:18:03.213
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I had tigers, panthers, every big cat on the wall.
00:18:03.233 --> 00:18:04.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I wanted to go into zoology.
00:18:04.653 --> 00:18:06.373
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I wanted to study tigers and all that stuff.
00:18:06.613 --> 00:18:07.913
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: But I also loved acting.
00:18:08.493 --> 00:18:12.373
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: At some point, I leaned more into the acting and started pursuing modeling and acting.
00:18:12.913 --> 00:18:14.013
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Then I moved to LA.
00:18:14.033 --> 00:18:15.633
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Long story short, I ended up with cats.
00:18:16.333 --> 00:18:19.313
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: While pursuing the acting thing, I was like, I'll post with my cats.
00:18:19.813 --> 00:18:20.573
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It took off.
00:18:20.633 --> 00:18:21.273
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It was weird.
00:18:21.293 --> 00:18:25.173
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: The two worlds I wanted eventually just merged.
00:18:25.173 --> 00:18:27.993
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I've been a cat guy since I was very little.
00:18:28.433 --> 00:18:31.493
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That has always been a plan, is to work with cats.
00:18:32.653 --> 00:18:34.473
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cats specifically, never dogs.
00:18:34.493 --> 00:18:35.613
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You were never a dog person.
00:18:35.893 --> 00:18:37.113
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Well, I grew up with dogs and cats.
00:18:37.133 --> 00:18:41.273
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I love dogs, but I wanted to study big cats and tigers.
00:18:41.333 --> 00:18:43.453
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I had a special place in my heart.
00:18:43.473 --> 00:18:45.993
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Here's the thing, though, and I say this all the time.
00:18:46.493 --> 00:18:49.513
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Cat people love dogs and all animals.
00:18:50.013 --> 00:18:52.013
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Dog people are the only ones that get specific.
00:18:53.773 --> 00:18:59.313
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Cat people, yeah, we love everything, like ferrets, bunnies, snakes, I was with an alligator the other day.
00:18:59.333 --> 00:19:00.553
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We love animals.
00:19:01.133 --> 00:19:01.473
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yes.
00:19:01.553 --> 00:19:02.373
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Agreed.
00:19:02.413 --> 00:19:04.013
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I am an animal person.
00:19:04.033 --> 00:19:04.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I have a cat.
00:19:04.753 --> 00:19:05.233
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I have a cat.
00:19:05.253 --> 00:19:05.773
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I have dogs.
00:19:05.793 --> 00:19:07.633
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I have raised, hand-raised kittens.
00:19:07.813 --> 00:19:08.453
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I have done it all.
00:19:08.453 --> 00:19:10.373
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And honestly, there is nothing cuter than a baby kitten.
00:19:10.713 --> 00:19:11.413
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I will say that.
00:19:11.433 --> 00:19:13.953
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That is my preference when it comes to the baby animals.
00:19:14.253 --> 00:19:19.953
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But I agree that the only people I hear talking smack about another species are the dog lovers.
00:19:19.953 --> 00:19:26.073
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So yes, dog lovers have to be a little more, you know, accepting of the rest of the animals out there.
00:19:26.253 --> 00:19:27.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So Sterling, how about you?
00:19:27.813 --> 00:19:30.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: When did you become the TrapKing?
00:19:30.213 --> 00:19:32.753
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Well, I have always been a cat lover.
00:19:32.973 --> 00:19:34.613
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Like I've always loved cats.
00:19:35.093 --> 00:19:40.053
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Like Nathan said, I had dogs before, but I've been, I've leaned more towards cats.
00:19:41.193 --> 00:19:42.153
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Just love cats.
00:19:42.153 --> 00:19:45.573
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Even when I was little, I used to sneak cats in my grandma basement.
00:19:46.033 --> 00:19:47.493
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Like I've always been a cat guy.
00:19:47.513 --> 00:19:48.933
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I love big cats too.
00:19:49.553 --> 00:19:51.673
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Like just always been a cat guy.
00:19:51.913 --> 00:20:02.593
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And sometime around between 2012 and 2017 is when I took it to another level and started my nonprofit, TrapKing, and went to rescuing cats.
00:20:02.813 --> 00:20:04.373
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: But I've always loved cats.
00:20:05.073 --> 00:20:06.693
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And where are you located right now?
00:20:06.713 --> 00:20:07.273
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Both of you.
00:20:07.533 --> 00:20:08.733
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Nathan, are you still in LA?
00:20:09.053 --> 00:20:09.993
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah, still in LA.
00:20:10.353 --> 00:20:13.393
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I just moved recently, but I'm still in LA.
00:20:13.713 --> 00:20:14.053
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Cool.
00:20:14.293 --> 00:20:15.033
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And Sterling?
00:20:15.993 --> 00:20:17.333
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm out here in Atlanta.
00:20:17.473 --> 00:20:19.653
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is that where you do most of your trapping?
00:20:20.033 --> 00:20:25.933
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Yeah, but I've been like after the pandemic, even before the pandemic, I've been traveling a lot.
00:20:25.953 --> 00:20:33.333
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Like I've been out there with Nathan in LA trapping Chicago, New York, Florida, Philadelphia, the summer everywhere.
00:20:33.353 --> 00:20:35.773
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I go to Asheville, North Carolina, Latin trap.
00:20:36.133 --> 00:20:37.113
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm kind of all over.
00:20:37.113 --> 00:20:38.313
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I live in my RV.
00:20:38.333 --> 00:20:39.033
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm in here now.
00:20:39.053 --> 00:20:40.633
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: So I'm kind of everywhere with it.
00:20:40.813 --> 00:20:42.253
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So you drive wherever you go?
00:20:42.573 --> 00:20:42.973
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Oh, yeah.
00:20:43.133 --> 00:20:44.573
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Well, sometimes I fly.
00:20:44.633 --> 00:20:46.313
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I've flown to the West Coast.
00:20:46.753 --> 00:20:48.273
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I haven't made that three-day trip yet.
00:20:48.293 --> 00:20:50.693
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm gonna get Nathan to ride out with me on one of these three days.
00:20:52.393 --> 00:20:54.053
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And we need live vlogging of it.
00:20:54.573 --> 00:20:55.793
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We need to see all of it.
00:20:57.573 --> 00:20:58.813
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Document that, please.
00:21:00.133 --> 00:21:02.933
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Not for me, but for all the single women tuning in, please.

Isabel Alvarez Arata: Of course.

00:22:26.128 --> 00:22:27.688
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Welcome back to Covered In Pet Hair.
00:22:27.708 --> 00:22:29.488
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm your host, Isabel Alvarez Arata.
00:22:29.508 --> 00:22:36.508
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And today, I am speaking to two of my favorite cat lovers, Nathan the CatLady and Sterling the TrapKing.
00:22:36.768 --> 00:22:40.408
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I'm going to invite you guys to play a second game with me.
00:22:40.688 --> 00:22:44.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And this is, of course, a drinking game, because this is a boozy show for pet lovers.
00:22:44.508 --> 00:22:48.908
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And we're going to play Never Have I Ever, Cat Dad Edition.
00:22:50.808 --> 00:22:51.608
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Oh no, don't worry.
00:22:51.628 --> 00:22:53.468
Isabel Alvarez Arata: There's no more dating stuff in here right now.
00:22:54.228 --> 00:22:56.288
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm gonna let you off the hook on that one.
00:22:58.128 --> 00:22:59.788
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'm letting you off the hook on that.
00:23:00.628 --> 00:23:01.208
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:23:01.848 --> 00:23:04.168
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I mean, we're gonna get personal, but not like that.
00:23:04.188 --> 00:23:05.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Are you guys ready to play?
00:23:05.968 --> 00:23:06.448
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Let's do it.
00:23:06.468 --> 00:23:07.028
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Let's do it.
00:23:07.068 --> 00:23:08.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right, here we go.
00:23:08.208 --> 00:23:10.428
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Back to gallery view so I can see everybody.
00:23:10.568 --> 00:23:12.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We gotta see if you're drinking or not.
00:23:12.208 --> 00:23:15.648
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And we're all cat parents here, but this is Cat Dad Edition, okay?
00:23:15.888 --> 00:23:16.768
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So I won't drink.
00:23:16.788 --> 00:23:18.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I'll just drink whenever I feel like drinking.
00:23:18.988 --> 00:23:19.388
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: All right.
00:23:20.248 --> 00:23:23.628
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never have I ever had a cat jump on my lap while going potty?
00:23:23.748 --> 00:23:24.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: What's like?
00:23:24.428 --> 00:23:25.108
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh, so yeah.
00:23:25.128 --> 00:23:27.268
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Do we have to put a finger down or we just drink?
00:23:27.468 --> 00:23:28.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Just drink.
00:23:28.348 --> 00:23:29.688
Isabel Alvarez Arata: If you're guilty, you drink.
00:23:30.228 --> 00:23:36.248
Isabel Alvarez Arata: If you're watching this and you have a cat and your cat has never sat on your lap while you're going potty, then is your cat even a cat?
00:23:38.428 --> 00:23:39.808
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Oh my gosh.
00:23:43.388 --> 00:23:43.988
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right.
00:23:44.288 --> 00:23:47.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never have I ever asked a cat if he or she saw a ghost.
00:23:47.408 --> 00:23:47.748
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Again.
00:23:47.768 --> 00:23:48.108
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Of course.
00:23:48.468 --> 00:23:50.268
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I know Pickles sees something.
00:23:50.288 --> 00:23:51.808
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He won't tell me, but he sees it.
00:23:53.628 --> 00:23:57.628
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Maybe it's like an old Hollywood star's spirit.
00:23:58.668 --> 00:23:59.268
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: It's something.
00:23:59.288 --> 00:24:01.108
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That frantic look up and looking around.
00:24:01.128 --> 00:24:04.748
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah, where they just stare at the wall and then the hair goes up and then it's gone.
00:24:05.288 --> 00:24:05.908
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Terrifying.
00:24:06.328 --> 00:24:07.528
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, it is terrifying.
00:24:07.968 --> 00:24:14.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never have I ever given my cat a romantic-inspired or romantic-ish nickname.
00:24:18.448 --> 00:24:19.208
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh, ginger?
00:24:19.228 --> 00:24:20.928
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I got my baby girl in my lap right now.
00:24:27.008 --> 00:24:28.268
Isabel Alvarez Arata: How about you, Sterling?
00:24:28.568 --> 00:24:32.248
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh yeah, the meat of the diva, baby a lot.
00:24:32.428 --> 00:24:35.688
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Alanis, Alanis Muehset, I just call her baby Alanis.
00:24:35.708 --> 00:24:38.668
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Like I don't even, it's just baby Alanis all the time.
00:24:40.468 --> 00:24:43.048
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never have I ever had a cat sit on my face.
00:24:46.728 --> 00:24:50.388
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I mean, my cat sleeps on my head every single day.
00:24:50.408 --> 00:24:51.328
Isabel Alvarez Arata: There's no way that your cat…
00:24:52.168 --> 00:24:54.648
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm trying to think specifically sat on my face.
00:24:55.008 --> 00:24:57.388
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I don't think I've had a cat specifically sit on my face.
00:24:57.688 --> 00:25:00.348
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's really fun, because you have cats with boundaries.
00:25:00.408 --> 00:25:01.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I apparently do not.
00:25:02.228 --> 00:25:02.608
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: All right.
00:25:03.388 --> 00:25:05.988
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Captain Wood and Nipsey Will, for sure.
00:25:06.008 --> 00:25:07.008
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, they don't care.
00:25:07.028 --> 00:25:07.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: If it sits, it sits, right?
00:25:07.748 --> 00:25:08.248
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Right on the face.
00:25:08.688 --> 00:25:10.348
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right, right on the face.
00:25:10.408 --> 00:25:15.908
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I'm allergic to cats, so it's very uncomfortable for me when they do that, but that's my fault for living with cats.
00:25:15.928 --> 00:25:17.428
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I just can't live without my kitty.
00:25:17.568 --> 00:25:20.928
Isabel Alvarez Arata: All right, never have I ever thought a cat was trying to kill me.
00:25:22.508 --> 00:25:27.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I have a feeling, TrapKing, you have definitely had some cats look at you like they're going to kill you.
00:25:27.548 --> 00:25:28.048
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh, yeah.
00:25:28.068 --> 00:25:36.048
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Doing cat rescue, the cat looking at you from a trap, I've got some looks like, if you get out that trap, you're going to probably take me out, I'm sure.
00:25:36.148 --> 00:25:40.608
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh, the worst one I had– this was back before, I had just started Nathan the CatLady.
00:25:40.628 --> 00:25:56.968
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I was in my ex's house and there was kittens living under the patio or the crawl space under the house next door, and I went down to get the kittens to bring them to rescuers, and the mom cat was in the back, and I shined a flashlight on her, and I just saw the butt wiggle, and she parts me.
00:25:57.448 --> 00:26:06.728
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I scooted out of that crawl space, I don't think I've ever moved that fast in my life, because I was sitting there grabbing kittens, and she just, she was not a happy kitty.
00:26:06.748 --> 00:26:08.808
Isabel Alvarez Arata: She's like, where are you going with those?
00:26:09.748 --> 00:26:10.488
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: She was going to end me.
00:26:10.508 --> 00:26:11.548
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It was pretty rough.
00:26:12.228 --> 00:26:14.688
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I mean, I would have ended you too, I'm with the cat on this one.
00:26:17.028 --> 00:26:19.488
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Have you ever sustained a significant cat bite?
00:26:19.508 --> 00:26:20.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never Have I Ever.
00:26:20.208 --> 00:26:23.008
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Sustained a significant cat bite.
00:26:23.808 --> 00:26:24.168
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Bite?
00:26:24.328 --> 00:26:24.788
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: No.
00:26:24.868 --> 00:26:25.508
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Scratch?
00:26:25.508 --> 00:26:25.908
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yes.
00:26:26.408 --> 00:26:26.808
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Okay.
00:26:26.828 --> 00:26:34.348
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And it's actually one of my favorite stories from when I was, again, when I used to be on Wine Wednesdays, we actually had an inside joke from this story.
00:26:34.368 --> 00:26:40.668
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It was my old apartment, and my youngest cat, Annie, and the cat I was living with, Princess, they used to scuffle every once in a while.
00:26:40.868 --> 00:26:43.688
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And it was like two in the morning, and I heard them start fighting.
00:26:43.988 --> 00:26:49.548
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So I ran out, butt naked, into the living room because I was sleeping naked at the time, it was summer, what do you do?
00:26:49.868 --> 00:26:58.428
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Ran out, and I grabbed Annie and I lifted her up, and she kicked with her hind leg and cut my whole palm open, and ran out of my hand.
00:26:58.448 --> 00:27:05.688
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And so I'm sitting there bleeding down my arm, and my roommate at the time starts coming down the stairs, and I just yelled, I was like, don't come downstairs, I'm naked and bleeding.
00:27:06.068 --> 00:27:07.128
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I heard him stop.
00:27:07.148 --> 00:27:08.588
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He was like, what?
00:27:08.608 --> 00:27:11.608
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I was like, just don't come downstairs.
00:27:12.028 --> 00:27:17.448
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: So my old Wine Wednesday, they wanted me to make a shirt that says, naked and bleeding.
00:27:17.988 --> 00:27:18.868
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Naked and bleeding.
00:27:18.888 --> 00:27:21.848
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I don't know what that means, but yeah, don't come down here, I'm naked and bleeding.
00:27:21.868 --> 00:27:24.968
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: It's like, what have you not been telling me as a roommate, bro?
00:27:28.568 --> 00:27:31.848
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's the last time he's ever going to check on you, that's for sure.
00:27:33.748 --> 00:27:40.028
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never have I ever referred to my cat, any of my cats, as an emotional support animal.
00:27:42.448 --> 00:27:42.848
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Every day.
00:27:42.868 --> 00:27:44.888
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Time to pop another drink.
00:27:45.108 --> 00:27:45.948
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Every day, right?
00:27:45.948 --> 00:27:46.488
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Every day.
00:27:46.508 --> 00:27:50.708
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Catchers are such amazing energy absorbers and cleansers.
00:27:51.088 --> 00:27:52.828
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh yeah, I got ginger in my lap right now.
00:27:53.128 --> 00:27:54.148
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah, right, baby girl.
00:27:54.568 --> 00:27:56.208
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Ben goes over here, he's ignoring me.
00:27:56.228 --> 00:27:57.268
Isabel Alvarez Arata: He knows the drill.
00:27:57.288 --> 00:27:58.148
Isabel Alvarez Arata: He's like, I'm out.
00:27:58.468 --> 00:28:02.148
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Nipsey is all into whatever is outside this window right now.
00:28:02.608 --> 00:28:03.568
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Alright, last one.
00:28:03.808 --> 00:28:05.968
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And then I want to dig into your own cats.
00:28:06.468 --> 00:28:08.788
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Never have I ever taken in one too many cats.
00:28:11.288 --> 00:28:12.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You're always right at the right.
00:28:12.928 --> 00:28:14.108
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You are a trap.
00:28:14.808 --> 00:28:19.548
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You trap cats, so you have to see them, and you want to take them all in.
00:28:19.728 --> 00:28:23.588
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But then we have Nathan the CatLady, who is very disciplined.
00:28:23.608 --> 00:28:25.068
Isabel Alvarez Arata: He has how many cats, Nathan?
00:28:25.648 --> 00:28:27.008
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Right now I'm at three.
00:28:27.428 --> 00:28:28.868
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Soon to be four, but three.
00:28:29.508 --> 00:28:30.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is that your max?
00:28:30.328 --> 00:28:31.428
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is that your number, four?
00:28:31.448 --> 00:28:32.208
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I think so.
00:28:32.208 --> 00:28:33.028
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I had four.
00:28:33.048 --> 00:28:34.668
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: For the last eight years, I had four.
00:28:35.508 --> 00:28:39.148
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And now I've got three, and I kind of want to be back to four.
00:28:39.168 --> 00:28:41.928
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It gives them each someone to play with.
00:28:41.948 --> 00:28:43.048
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: They can partner up.
00:28:43.288 --> 00:28:45.008
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I think four is a solid number for me.
00:28:45.808 --> 00:28:46.948
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And how about you, TrapKing?
00:28:47.048 --> 00:28:49.328
Isabel Alvarez Arata: How many cats have you had at the max?
00:28:49.588 --> 00:28:50.608
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh, at the max?
00:28:52.468 --> 00:28:58.748
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I've probably had about– because I had a seven-bedroom house at one point, I've probably had about twelve at one time.
00:28:59.008 --> 00:29:05.528
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: But that's doing cat rescue, and that's because I probably had a cat situation in every single room.
00:29:05.548 --> 00:29:08.408
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That's why I live in my RV now, because I can't trust myself with space.
00:29:08.548 --> 00:29:13.668
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Because every situation, it'll be like, oh, I can take them in, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
00:29:13.688 --> 00:29:17.588
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And it'll be something else, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.
00:29:17.608 --> 00:29:22.128
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And then you got about twelve cats in your house, and you're like, I can't do it now.
00:29:22.468 --> 00:29:23.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:29:23.948 --> 00:29:24.448
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I agree.
00:29:24.588 --> 00:29:30.988
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Before I had kids, I was married, and we were living in Louisiana, and somebody posted in a local group, like, kittens need to be bottle-fed.
00:29:31.008 --> 00:29:32.088
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I had done that as a kid.
00:29:32.108 --> 00:29:33.748
Isabel Alvarez Arata: My mom took in a cat when we were little.
00:29:33.968 --> 00:29:38.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And so she had done the whole bottle-feeding, and that was before bottles existed, like, at the pet shops.
00:29:38.968 --> 00:29:43.288
Isabel Alvarez Arata: She had to go to the Toys R Us and get a bottle and make a hole in it, that whole thing in the 80s.
00:29:43.628 --> 00:29:45.368
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So I was like, I'll do it!
00:29:45.408 --> 00:29:47.168
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And my husband and I had just had an argument.
00:29:47.368 --> 00:29:52.148
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And he was, like, trying to beg me forgiveness for whatever he did, which wasn't that serious, but I got real mad about it.
00:29:52.588 --> 00:29:54.788
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I was like, you know how you're gonna make it up to me?
00:29:54.968 --> 00:29:58.148
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We're gonna go pick up these cats, and we're gonna bottle-feed them.
00:29:58.488 --> 00:30:03.608
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And my husband had no idea what it takes to bottle-feed four kittens that were four days old.
00:30:04.088 --> 00:30:12.208
Isabel Alvarez Arata: He had no clue what he was signing up for, but he just wanted to be, you know, forgiven and forgotten whatever nonsense he had said or done.
00:30:12.468 --> 00:30:19.968
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And so we went and picked up our cats, and at some point we had nine pets in our family at that time in Louisiana.
00:30:20.208 --> 00:30:26.048
Isabel Alvarez Arata: We had five dogs, one of them was a stray that showed up, who now lives with my sister in Spain, and four kittens.
00:30:26.408 --> 00:30:28.688
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And it was magnificent!
00:30:29.028 --> 00:30:35.268
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: It's all fun and games until you got anal glands on your hand, and then mixing KMR every two hours.
00:30:35.288 --> 00:30:36.148
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That's when you know…
00:30:36.168 --> 00:30:37.488
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Sterling's pick up lines.
00:30:39.208 --> 00:30:42.568
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That's when you know you bottle baby foster.
00:30:43.248 --> 00:30:49.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You know, I was just explaining to my sister that, like, that you have to, you know, stimulate it, and she just had a baby.
00:30:49.748 --> 00:30:55.568
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And so we were talking about how difficult it is to be a mom, and I was like, well, at least you don't have to stimulate him with your tongue.
00:30:55.608 --> 00:30:57.608
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's what momma cats have to do.
00:30:57.968 --> 00:30:59.708
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And she was like, they do what?
00:30:59.728 --> 00:31:02.408
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And I'm like, yeah, momma cats have it wrong.
00:31:02.488 --> 00:31:03.168
Isabel Alvarez Arata: No, man.
00:31:03.188 --> 00:31:04.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And they don't have a choice.
00:31:04.408 --> 00:31:08.008
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So if they want that baby to survive, they gotta go and get in there.
00:31:08.308 --> 00:31:08.868
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Literally.
00:31:08.888 --> 00:31:09.788
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Yeah, gotta do it.
00:31:10.528 --> 00:31:14.468
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Alright, so how many cats do you think is optimum for you, Sterling?
00:31:14.488 --> 00:31:20.788
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I mean, right now, three is– I have three right now because I'm in my RV.
00:31:20.808 --> 00:31:22.448
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I think that's good enough.
00:31:22.468 --> 00:31:23.188
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I don't need that.
00:31:23.208 --> 00:31:25.068
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I mean, too many more would be crowded.
00:31:25.448 --> 00:31:29.248
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And Demita, my baby Demita, my oldest baby, she got a sensitive stomach.
00:31:29.268 --> 00:31:33.748
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: So dealing with her and my other two, I think three is good for my situation now.
00:31:33.928 --> 00:31:36.228
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, you know, the older they get, the more they need.
00:31:36.248 --> 00:31:37.908
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah, so I have a cat and a dog.
00:31:38.208 --> 00:31:40.768
Isabel Alvarez Arata: My dog is 13 now.
00:31:41.228 --> 00:31:43.228
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So yeah, she's gonna start needing a lot of things.
00:31:43.248 --> 00:31:55.588
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So every time I'm tempted to get a second cat for Van Gogh, I'm like, no, because Kira needs your attention and Kira needs it for the next maybe two years, so you gotta not get any more cats even though I'm tempted so much every single day.
00:31:55.608 --> 00:32:00.368
Isabel Alvarez Arata: So what big events are you guys looking forward to in 2024?
00:32:00.408 --> 00:32:01.528
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cat related, of course.
00:32:02.148 --> 00:32:02.768
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh man.
00:32:02.928 --> 00:32:05.788
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Hopefully, I mean, CatCon for sure.
00:32:05.808 --> 00:32:07.788
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Hopefully global again.
00:32:08.588 --> 00:32:09.408
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Super Zoo.
00:32:09.788 --> 00:32:12.488
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Terrified of Super Zoo now, but I gotta do Super Zoo again.
00:32:12.948 --> 00:32:14.848
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That's right, you got super sick.
00:32:15.268 --> 00:32:16.828
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Yeah, I collapsed in Vegas.
00:32:16.848 --> 00:32:18.808
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I spent two days in the hospital this last time.
00:32:21.068 --> 00:32:21.908
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That was rough.
00:32:22.368 --> 00:32:25.728
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That wasn't from drinking and doing crazy Vegas stuff.
00:32:25.988 --> 00:32:31.868
Isabel Alvarez Arata: No, because if it had been that, we would all have been in the hospital with y'all.
00:32:31.888 --> 00:32:33.068
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Everybody thought it was that.
00:32:33.088 --> 00:32:34.248
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: We was like, no.
00:32:35.068 --> 00:32:35.888
Isabel Alvarez Arata: No, I remember.
00:32:35.908 --> 00:32:40.068
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I shared a room in Vegas with Jessica from the Pet Parenting Reset.
00:32:40.488 --> 00:32:49.968
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Apparently that Friday night after we had all gone out, who knows when, I said to her, as I crashed into my bed, I think I drank too much, and then I said nothing until the next morning.
00:32:51.128 --> 00:32:52.028
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That is Vegas.
00:32:52.048 --> 00:32:53.108
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That is Super Zoo.
00:32:53.128 --> 00:32:53.948
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It just is.
00:32:55.288 --> 00:33:01.088
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I think we started at 5, and it was 3 in the morning, and we're still going.
00:33:01.528 --> 00:33:02.228
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That'll do it.
00:33:02.468 --> 00:33:03.368
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: We got that.
00:33:03.388 --> 00:33:08.828
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I have something that I can't give any details about, but it'll be happening in the next week.
00:33:09.328 --> 00:33:11.768
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I can announce it February 14th.
00:33:11.788 --> 00:33:22.948
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Keep an eye on February 14th on my platforms because there's something, a big rescue thing that I've been working on for the last month that I'm super excited about but I can't talk about yet.
00:33:23.128 --> 00:33:25.108
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That's what I'm looking forward to.
00:33:25.128 --> 00:33:28.108
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cheers to that, to whatever awesome thing you've got cooking.
00:33:28.588 --> 00:33:31.628
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cheers, congratulations, and best wishes.
00:33:31.868 --> 00:33:34.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Before we wrap up, of course, I have to ask you one more question.
00:33:35.088 --> 00:33:39.208
Isabel Alvarez Arata: What do you envision the perfect Valentine's Day date to be?
00:33:39.688 --> 00:33:42.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: From your perspective, not trying to impress a girl.
00:33:42.308 --> 00:33:46.128
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: From my perspective?
00:33:46.148 --> 00:33:51.308
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: For me, I would say no fancy restaurants.
00:33:51.648 --> 00:33:54.308
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I want to be out of the public on Valentine's Day.
00:33:54.628 --> 00:33:56.628
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I've had relationships on Valentine's Day.
00:33:56.648 --> 00:34:16.788
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And as fun as it is, spending $300 for a quick, crammed-in, 90-minute, side-by-side table meal, I'd rather go outside, go hiking, or go do something adventurous, and then go back and do a game night, pop in a horror movie, snuggle with the cats, see where the night goes.
00:34:17.128 --> 00:34:21.028
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: But yeah, I'm not going out on Valentine's Day anymore.
00:34:21.028 --> 00:34:21.688
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm over it.
00:34:21.888 --> 00:34:33.488
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: The last time I went on Valentine's Day, we sat down and the waiter said, and this was like the nicest steak house, and we're like side-by-side with other couples, he goes, just so you know, there's a 90-minute limit on dinner tonight.
00:34:33.508 --> 00:34:37.788
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He writes 90 on the thing and sticks it on the table with the time we arrive.
00:34:37.808 --> 00:34:42.808
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: And I was like, wow, how romantic of you to start a stopwatch.
00:34:42.828 --> 00:34:44.228
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Like, I'm done.
00:34:44.548 --> 00:34:45.208
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm over it.
00:34:45.228 --> 00:34:46.168
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: It's not worth it.
00:34:46.748 --> 00:34:47.308
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I agree.
00:34:47.488 --> 00:34:48.508
Isabel Alvarez Arata: How about you, Sterling?
00:34:48.528 --> 00:34:50.648
Isabel Alvarez Arata: What's your perfect Valentine's Day date?
00:34:50.948 --> 00:34:51.748
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: The same way.
00:34:51.748 --> 00:34:54.548
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I don't really like– Valentine is usually so typical.
00:34:54.568 --> 00:34:57.708
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: It's the chocolates, it's the candy, it's everybody doing the exact same thing.
00:34:57.728 --> 00:34:58.948
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: So I would want something different.
00:34:58.968 --> 00:35:02.488
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Something– incorporate music and cats.
00:35:02.508 --> 00:35:03.648
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: That's two of my loves.
00:35:03.668 --> 00:35:09.188
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Incorporate some nice music, some live music, some cats, nothing typical.
00:35:09.208 --> 00:35:10.448
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And that would be my thing.
00:35:10.468 --> 00:35:14.328
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Maybe if we go somewhere and see some live music, some instruments, something with some instruments in it.
00:35:14.668 --> 00:35:18.768
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: And then take it back to cuddle with the cats, you know?
00:35:18.788 --> 00:35:19.388
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Cats and music.
00:35:19.408 --> 00:35:20.588
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Always cuddling with the cat.
00:35:20.888 --> 00:35:23.108
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Are your cats picky about who you bring home?
00:35:23.488 --> 00:35:24.908
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh, you gotta answer to them.
00:35:24.928 --> 00:35:26.228
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: They are the final judge.
00:35:26.248 --> 00:35:27.788
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Demita is the most.
00:35:28.108 --> 00:35:29.368
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Demita is the diva.
00:35:29.568 --> 00:35:31.648
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: She is probably the most picky.
00:35:31.708 --> 00:35:34.468
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: But yeah, you gotta pass the test with the kitties.
00:35:34.488 --> 00:35:35.408
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: You gotta pass the test.
00:35:35.568 --> 00:35:36.828
Isabel Alvarez Arata: You gotta pass the test.
00:35:37.448 --> 00:35:39.488
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Does Nathan pass the test with your kitties?
00:35:39.728 --> 00:35:40.288
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Oh, yeah.
00:35:40.488 --> 00:35:46.228
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Let me tell you, sometimes I get a little jealous because Demita was– I forgot where I went and I ran back into RV.
00:35:46.248 --> 00:35:47.188
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I did think I would stop.
00:35:47.208 --> 00:35:48.988
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: We stopped somewhere to go to the store or something.
00:35:49.008 --> 00:35:54.108
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: But I ran back into RV and Demita is like snuggled all in Nathan's beard.
00:35:54.128 --> 00:35:55.708
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: I'm like, hey.
00:35:55.728 --> 00:35:56.428
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Yeah.
00:35:56.848 --> 00:35:58.528
<v SPEAKER_2>Taking moves.
00:36:00.148 --> 00:36:01.108
Sterling "Trap King" Davis: Get out of his beard.
00:36:03.228 --> 00:36:03.968
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: That's my girl.
00:36:05.128 --> 00:36:06.228
Isabel Alvarez Arata: And how about you, Nathan?
00:36:06.248 --> 00:36:08.128
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Do your cats like Sterling?
00:36:08.388 --> 00:36:09.328
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh, absolutely.
00:36:09.448 --> 00:36:10.268
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Absolutely.
00:36:10.288 --> 00:36:21.068
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: They're, they're always like Pickles, especially because back in the day, Sterling would crash on my couch and he'd wake up to Pickles sleeping on his chest in the morning, like staring him right in the face and meowing at him.
00:36:21.388 --> 00:36:21.808
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Oh yeah.
00:36:21.968 --> 00:36:23.728
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Is Pickles picky about who you bring home?
00:36:24.028 --> 00:36:26.468
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: No, Pickles is kind of a man-whore.
00:36:30.348 --> 00:36:31.808
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Van Gogh likes everybody.
00:36:32.648 --> 00:36:34.608
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Pickles, well, he does the same.
00:36:35.108 --> 00:36:40.028
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Any girl that comes over, he'll walk up on their chest and just start kneading on their chest.
00:36:40.708 --> 00:36:46.608
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm like, Pickles, like, you know, I don't blame you, but like, hey, like, ask first, you know?
00:36:47.108 --> 00:36:49.188
Isabel Alvarez Arata: But we always have to ask for consent, Pickles.
00:36:51.428 --> 00:36:51.948
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He don't care.
00:36:51.968 --> 00:36:54.368
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: He'll go up and he'll make eye contact with me while he does it.
00:36:55.008 --> 00:36:55.788
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Check this out.
00:36:55.808 --> 00:36:57.628
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: I'm like, all right, dude, you do you, man.
00:36:58.408 --> 00:36:59.268
Isabel Alvarez Arata: That is awesome.
00:36:59.288 --> 00:37:05.688
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Well, send my regards to Pickles and the Diva and the Alanis Miao asset and all the others, please.
00:37:05.708 --> 00:37:07.108
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I love to see them on social.
00:37:07.128 --> 00:37:09.588
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I feel like I know most of them personally.
00:37:09.608 --> 00:37:15.528
Isabel Alvarez Arata: It has been a true pleasure getting to know you guys, hearing your story and celebrating your bromance with you.
00:37:15.608 --> 00:37:16.668
Isabel Alvarez Arata: Cheers, guys.
00:37:16.928 --> 00:37:17.488
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Cheers.
00:37:17.508 --> 00:37:18.628
Nathan "The CatLady" Kehn: Thanks for having us.
00:37:19.388 --> 00:37:22.208
Isabel Alvarez Arata: I want to also propose a toast to my executive producer, Mark Winter.
