But yeah, they reached out to us.

But yeah, they reached out to us.

We've known for a couple of weeks, but you know, we didn't know what they were coming because the Celtics were making it interesting. So it was kind of funny up but stressful the to not know when we were coming here. But we're here, we're excited and we're super pumped.

We've known for a couple of weeks, but you know, we didn't know what they were coming because the Celtics were making it interesting. So it was kind of funny up but stressful the to not know when we were coming here. But we're here, we're excited and we're super pumped.

We were talking about this and I know we know players and we have some kind of like pregame routine.

We were talking about this and I know we know players and we have some kind of like pregame routine.

What do you do?

What do you do?

Are we like ruining you nap time or or what? What what does Christian and Scooby and Milow do now with you know, on game day?

Are we like ruining you nap time or or what? What what does Christian and Scooby and Milow do now with you know, on game day?

Yeah, So for for the boys, for Percy and Milo, who are essentially the Scoobies on stage.

Yeah, So for for the boys, for Percy and Milo, who are essentially the Scoobies on stage.

Obviously they perform as the stage name Scooby.

Obviously they perform as the stage name Scooby.

But for them, I feel like, whether it's a game there or non game there, their routine doesn't change. They just snap all day and then it's it's Milo's it's on his watch whenever he decides he wants to play, because he's the very playful one. So then when we start here the little squeaky noises, we know that he's decided that it's time for him to play right right now.

But yeah, they don't. They don't have much of a routine during the day.

But yeah, they don't. They don't have much of a routine during the day.

When we do get to the arena though, they've kind of gotten like now they understand like, Okay, we're in an arena.

When we do get to the arena though, they've kind of gotten like now they understand like, Okay, we're in an arena.

I think they know what's going on, like and then they kind of know the routine.

I think they know what's going on, like and then they kind of know the routine.

I usually like let them out to do their business outside, usually right around tip off, so they get that out the way. But uh yeah, for them, I think they're just they get super excited when we get in there. Out For me, sometimes I not, but I don't like to. As a performer, we are, and I'm sure like you guys perform on the radio as well. You you fall into, you know, like creatures of habit. I purposely try to break the habits because I don't want it to ever be like, oh my god, I didn't get my nap today, I'm gonna have a bad show type mentality. So I actually during the days, you know, I'm pretty pretty open. Like it's not I don't have a specific routine for warm up. I do, but even that, sometimes I'll purposely try to, like, you know, instead of doing three of this thing in a row, I'll be like, today, let's just do five or two or something to switch it up, so it's not exactly the same.

So you go, you travel obviously from NBA around NBA Arenas and the dogs are Chuaha's right, yes, and notous, notoriously loud, and you know, I mean they're kind of high maintenance dog. People would think of them as high maintenance dogs. I know you own you have chiuahwas how do you kind of keep them quiet? I mean, how do they how how are they with travel? How are they in the hotel room?

How are they in the hotel room?

How is it?

How is it?

What's it like traveling with them?

What's it like traveling with them?

Well, so I'll connect this question with kind of the question I get asked most, which is how do I train them? But all that that you just mentioned is actually probably the most training that I do with them, because the trick wise, like I feel like they're pretty smart dogs and they pick they can pick up the tricks rather quickly. But you're right, putting them in front of a crowd of twenty thousand people, that's the real trick right there, which a lot of people don't notice or I guess don't think about when they're watching them do these feats or these actual like tricks, you know, like they're on my feet or they are my back doing a trick.

So for that, it starts, it starts young.

So for that, it starts, it starts young.

You know, Milow was probably three months old when he did his first flight. And his first flight, actually you just made me think of this was here to Denver his first flight. We came, we had a Nuggets game and I brought him and so, uh, he came here and you know, like getting him used to that, or when they're doing the starting lineup and it's really rowdy, you know, like that's when I'll kind of want him to be at his most comfortable. So when he was a puppy, I would hold them, keep them close to me, be petting him, giving them treats while everything all this commotions going on, and that just kind of starts getting them used to being like, okay, like this is normal stuff like. And so that way, when he's a full grown pup, that's just second eight. He doesn't even think about that. It's just his normal environment. So that is key in the training essentially.

That was actually that was gonna be my next question. How do they react to keep a dog calm when you have twenty thousand people screaming. There's the arenas are so loud, there's explosions, there's I mean, there's just so much that would rattle any dog of any breed. How do you keep them calm through all that?

There's the arenas are so loud, there's explosions, there's I mean, there's just so much that would rattle any dog of any breed. How do you keep them calm through all that?

Well?

Well?

And so, just like I said, by putting them around it as much as possible from a young age to get them used to it. But at the same time, you know, they are live animals and there's obviously things you.

And so, just like I said, by putting them around it as much as possible from a young age to get them used to it. But at the same time, you know, they are live animals and there's obviously things you.

Can't prep for.

Can't prep for.

I remember we did a halftime show at Okay See once and they have a blimp there in the arena, and I never had thought about or anything. And when we were performing, this was like five six years ago, I noticed that person who he's the older one now, he was like looking around and he was super distracted.

And when we were performing, this was like five six years ago, I noticed that person who he's the older one now, he was like looking around and he was super distracted.

And then that's when I noticed the blimp, and.

And then that's when I noticed the blimp, and.

I was like, oh, you know, sometimes certain things you can't prepare it for, so like you know, the pyro that goes on like some arenas have it, some arenas don't like so that kind of stuff. You know, That's why being around as much of this kind of commotion, you know, is the best because that way they can just kind of be used to anything and everything. But you know, there's certain things you can't you know, you can't prep for or for, like see ahead to like that like that blimp, or and even little nuances that they have. So Percy I'd say, was, you know, he was super quick and easy to teach everything and perform and milo the tricks.

He picks up very fast. But one of the things with.

He picks up very fast. But one of the things with.

Milo in the beginning that it kept I kept wondering what it was is he would walk funny, like really low to the ground. It almost looked like, you know, it almost looked like he was scared of walk, and so I was like, what is going on with this little guy? And then you realize, like on him, it's either the reflection or what I noticed was it's the hardwood. Because even in our kitchen, he wouldn't want to go to the kitchen and we were like, what's going on. We were like, maybe the oven freaked them out, like the noise of the snakes or something. But then it's it's the wood. So you know, now if you notice now when I do halftimes and stuff, I have a little rug.

But it took me a while because I was like, I didn't know, and I was.

But it took me a while because I was like, I didn't know, and I was.

Like, oh, maybe he's just like feeling the floor out, or maybe it's like, you know, he's just getting comfortable. But really, if I, like, I wish I would have picked up that quicker, because then even the beginning, when we put the rug out, he was like totally good.

Like, oh, maybe he's just like feeling the floor out, or maybe it's like, you know, he's just getting comfortable. But really, if I, like, I wish I would have picked up that quicker, because then even the beginning, when we put the rug out, he was like totally good.

But you could see when he go to the edges he like so you know, so it's just little things like that that you gotta.

But you could see when he go to the edges he like so you know, so it's just little things like that that you gotta.

That's the key with working with animals is you you gotta Essentially, you gotta listen, but not verbally. You got to listen with your eyes and obviously listen with with their actions and take your time with them to know what you know. And even when we work at the Residency show in Vegas, it's funny because the crew always has to know which dog I'm using because when I'm using Percy, there's no carpet.

I know you're being asked this many times, but I wanted to. I wanted to check with you and for you to tell us a story because we all know that there was something going on there that uh, America's got talent, right yeah, yeah, so you should have won that show, you you know, but you were a finalist.

But we'll let that slip. And how has that grown?

But we'll let that slip. And how has that grown?

Where is Christian Scooby now from tell us about the beginnings of your your idea of working with the dog and then going to the show and from where you are now they're even doing bad bits, but now not just halftime shows, not just basketball shows, but you're doing hockey, you're doing NFL, you're doing MLS. I mean, it's unbelievable that I'm happy that finally people are realizing what I have known for a long time, that you're the best show in town.

Man? I? Well, thanks, Ran, Well, yeah, you know, really it started.

Man? I? Well, thanks, Ran, Well, yeah, you know, really it started.

So I'm a fifth generation performer on my mom's side, So my parents were performers when I was growing up, so I learned everything as a kid, like I was surrounded by jugglers and unicyclists and everything. So I can I can unicycle, not Red Panda level, I can uticycle. I again, you know, I can juggle, I can, you know, do a little bit of everything. But I wanted a pet, and since we were always traveling, we got my parents got a Chihuawa because it was a small dog and they were like, okay, this will be easy to travel with.

And Scooby, that was the o G.

And Scooby, that was the o G.

Scooby, So the original Scooby always would do this this move with his pos you know, we would teach him to sit to lay down little stuff in the house and give him treats, and he did this thing when he would sit up with his paws where he would move him up and down and it was almost like he was like begging us for the food. So we started saying that that's We were like, that's how he says please. So actually, even now the command for that trick with us is pleased, like that's what I say. I'll be like, oh, Percy, stay please, and that's what he does. So it's evolved throughout the years. But anyway, one time I was just laying on the floor or on my stomach, like watching TV and my dad was eating and Scooby sat on my back and started doing the please, and my dad got the idea. He was like, I want tomorrow when you go practice, because I was already practicing handstands, It's like, why don't we take him and we'll see if he does that while you do your handstand trip or your horizontal And I was like, all right, let's try it.

So we took him and he did it. He didn't hesitate, he did.

It right away, so we gave him a treat and then it just kind of was one of those things where it was like, what else can we try to come up with? And little by little, obviously it evolved and then we created the act, the routine, which was way more simpler than than it is now. But then we got a chance to perform it. And then after that obviously performed that for three or four years or so I did. I actually did America's Got Talent when I was fourteen. That was my first time on it. And but then, yeah, you know, the saying goes people run away to join the circus, I kind of did the opposite.

Ran away from the circus quote quote, I didn't actually run away. I thought about it, but I never actually did it. And I actually went to college.

And yeah, so I got my degree, and then shortly after when I started doing halftime shows and America's Got Talent, and Scooby was already getting older at this point. And then obviously the act has evolved, and each each dog that has worked with us is kind of like, you know, brought their new trick. You know, Scooby didn't do the trick where he walks on the basketball, but Percy, when we were training with him, I remember I wasn't even training at this on this particular day, but I had him with me, and that some kid was like dribbling in basketball and Percy was watching it. And then then in the same gym there was another kid like walking on top of this sphear ball, and I was like, I wonder if he'd walk on the basketball.
