Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“You can be who you want to be in the world today.”
“You turned that into a confident, functional human being. That's an achievement.”
“I think a lot of people mellow out because you have less energy to care.”
“I don't believe in passion.”
“You're such a visionary for these ideas. You see the potential.”
“The genius of your subconscious. You were in flow.”
“But just such a sneak— I just get such a— you just get such a rush from doing something you're not supposed to do.”
Is it safe to give dogs bones?
Most dogs handle cooked or raw bones fine, but bones can become a foreign body causing blockages or constipation, so it's worth being cautious.
What happened if a dog ingests something toxic like marijuana butter?
Inducing vomiting (e.g., with soda crystals as advised by a vet over the phone) can help, though it risks issues like salt toxicity; prompt vet consultation is recommended.
How do you stop a dog from eating food it finds on the ground?
Train the dog by rewarding it for coming to you instead of going for the food, and carry treats as a better alternative; being on a lead also helps control the behaviour.

From episode 273→Kim Lam explains there's no Medicare-style subsidy for pets and many owners lack insurance, so owners bear the full cost; meanwhile clinics have very high overheads (x-ray machines, dental x-ray, surgery suites, pathology rooms, drug dispensaries) similar to a miniature hospital, which eats into vet profits.
From episode 273→It's called the '100 Day Project,' a hashtag challenge started by Elle Luna, in which Kim created 100 days of illustrations themed around small, personal pleasures (e.g., finding a marble in a park) under her illustration name Danger Lamb.
