major flex on this

[@hannahvanderkarr4710]

The deep silence after Miles got up and Raina suggested that everyone has to kiss absolutely floored me. The laugh rang through the office.

[@tateak]

that moment was amazing!!

[@-streaminadream-5356]

very disappointing- caller did not get it😭😭 not a girly pop

[@StarCatAxel]

Im so glad she brought it up after the call cuz that ish was so funny. Silence was so loud 😂

[@patiencekillz]

raina asking the second caller for pronouns, and then naming them all animals that have no gender attached to them is so funny

[@DudeitsFish]

I just wanna state that you've always been my favorite try guy even before it was official.

[@tlexasaurusrex]

SECONDED (try)

[@MayaDT1010]

Literally came here to say the same thing! We love our perfect person!

[@hayleyhellbound9513]

Did they make some announcement? They finally admit Eugene is never coming back and if they want their cute Tri/Try quip they made when they got rid of Ned to work, they still need a third?

[@KimbiW]

@@hayleyhellbound9513yea Eugene is out, they’re adding like 9 people. I wouldn’t be surprised if they transition over to 2nd Try and get rid of Try Guy name altogether

[@Anna-B]

Was there an announcement before the official announcement? (And also I 100% agree)

[@brookeam19]

As a veterinary technician who has been bit/scratched by many many cats, the roommate was totally telling the truth!! They infect very easily and can be crazy painful. Also if you don’t start antibiotics you have a high chance of getting cat scratch fever which can be deadly if not treated.

[@jakejennings5308]

Just want to emphasize this point. A friend of mine recently passed away after years of battling chronic bartonella infection (cat scratch disease). Can become very hard to treat and lead to awful health consequences

[@Clarinalein]

Yes, came here to say the same thing because that advice was borderline dangerous, you always need to go to the doctor after a cat or dog bite, especially cats. They have a stronger immune system then us and carry stuff that makes us sick. My mother in-law almost lost her finger to a cat bite

[@DancingCacti]

I just listened to this episode and wanted to say the same! This is absolutely a real thing (degree in animal science, have worked in many vet clinics/boarding facilities/shelters, have been bitten before by multiple cats). This is absolutely a risk! @PerfectPerson

[@El1society]

wtf?? 😭

[@jacquelynchin5513]

To the last caller: there is a such thing as cat scratch fever and you can get a fever from a cat

[@herb_rolls]

yeah i was very shocked he would doubt her! also cats be licking their behinds, i wouldn't doubt getting stuff in your skin would cause an infection!

[@waiting4winter]

I got Cat Scratch Fever when I was 12. I had a 104.7 degree fever; I was sick for 4 months; it grew a tumor in the bone marrow of my knee; and they took my blood twice a day for the first 3 months (doctors incorrectly thought it was Leukemia, Malaria, West Nile, or Lymes Disease). It was hell.

[@TheShauNanigans]

I was thinking this same thing. I was like "Cat scratch fever is not only a classic rock song."

[@jakejennings5308]

Yeah cat scratch fever caused by bartonella infection is really common and can even become chronic like Lyme in some people. Sometimes leads to awful health consequences

[@sophiekuhn5342]

My problem is u would send them a pic and the bill because it is a weird situation? Like I don’t blame him for being a bit skeptical. I’ve been scratched many times and never had a fever and she did not really communicate with the cat owner. No one wrong in the situation just lack of communication

[@lunabirdlove]

Raina was a wonderful guest! I like that she admitted if the girl who got bit by the cat called in, she'd probably side with her. I don't often think about the other side of the story because I assume anyone who listens to Miles is always good and right haha. Hope to see Raina again!

Cat bites have a very high risk of infection, even if the cat was healthy. Cats have LOADS of bacteria in their saliva that other animals dont, and leads to an infection more often than not. I personally know people who have lost fingers due to cat bite infection spreading so rapidly

[@noahsmith3034]

Accidentally bought low fat peanut butter once, almost threw up

[@TM.BECK14]

My husband bought it on accident once and it was absolutely awful 😫 basically just peanut butter cut with corn syrup solids and extra sugar so that the ratio of fat is less.

[@AshleyLowis]

Thank you so much to Raina for mentioning the protests across the campuses for G*za and for Miles for doing a fundraiser telethon that will help those there who are going through unimaginable suffering. I'm proud of you and the try guys as it shows me that you care about others. Free P*lestine! ❤💚🖤

[@he.said.teenjiejer]

truthfully i think mommy has nothing to worry about. she gave all those people a little treat and they had no idea, but they needed it. and she’s about to have a baby on a teacher’s salary so she deserves that prize money.

[@alexare6655]

Im all for an upcoming mom to have more money but she absolutely should not have lied about the ingredients. Some people have eds and its akin to forcing a vegan to eat meat unknowingly.

[@petalchild]

​@@alexare6655It's quite literally not akin to that at all

[@alexare6655]

@@petalchild its lying about what is in it its the literal same concept you need help.

[@anonymixx8106]

​@@petalchild because you don't feel it is? Diet restrictions are only valid to respect when associated with morals or religion? Like what?

[@petalchild]

@anonymixx8106 The actual ingredients were not changed, only the relative fat content. If anything, low fat versions of things usually have more sugar to compensate for the lack of flavor, which arguably makes them less healthy. This cannot be compared to leading somebody to unknowingly eat ingredients that they are allergic or morally opposed to consuming (not to mention people who have been vegetarian or vegan will often get sick if they eat animal products). However, you're taking a chance whenever you eat food prepared by somebody else anyway.

[@avabergren5820]

as an owner of several cats, the caller should just pay the urgent care bill. When you get bitten by a cat and it breaks the skin you should get antibiotics, always, you can get reeeally sick and its fairly common. but totally treatable with normal antibiotics. cat SCRATCHES, you should just wash it with soap and water bc their claws are germy but if it feels hot or looks angry, get the antibiotics. if the cat nips people when hes playing its probably no big deal. it hes biting hard, unprovoked, take him to the vet. it could be physical pain or neurological issues causing aggression. the cat could also be displaying body language warning signs that hes getting agressive and a vet could give advice on how to read him.

[@avabergren5820]

my cat "bites" when hes playing. when he was a baby he would bite HARD and didnt understand he was hurting me. We got him a friend. She put him in his place and he knows how to bite soft 😂 i can stick my fingers in his mouth and he wont hurt me. some sweet cats just dont understand they're hurting you.

[@TheShauNanigans]

I absolutely LOVED this guest so much. Thank you for showing your audience this amazing creator. She was so funny, witty, and insightful. #FreePalestine #ACAB

One of the places I used to work at did a "wellness step challenge" where whoever got the most steps won, and the hugest scandal was when a guy attached his fitbit to his dog and lied about how many steps he got to win

[@abbyg4048]

the silence after raina suggested everyone kiss was so loud

[@TheOGBabbleBug]

Cat scratch fever is real and animal bites in general are very prone to infection - if they break more than the surface of the skin. You should immediately clean them and watch for signs of inflammation. Also though like if the cat doesn’t like you leave it alone. And don’t feed them cheese.

[@thevintagepastry]

Ok but real talk Miles, we need those songs you played in your ride share video on spotify

[@bluerbsi2341]

Cat bites actually get infected super easily, something to do with how thin their teeth are so the skin closes back up over all the dirt that got in there! Just a heads up 😅

[@malpal8186]

i’ve said it before, i’ll say it again, miles is the only person who makes me wanna listen to the ads.

[@Skipitandpogoscars]

Last caller needs to pay that bill. Sounds like its just her co pay

[@elisefyhrie6256]

Fyi: cat bites that break the skin are super dangerous and you should ALWAYS get them checked out

BABE WAKE UP, NEW PERFECT PERSON EPISODE

[@kellynorton4382]

Raina is so effing funny. Glad to see her on the show!

[@alex5716]

Loved Raina as a guest!! We need more of this!!

[@tikkabutter]

Maintenance Phase being mentioned on Perfect Person are my two all time favourite podcasts colliding, I wasn't ready but I sure am here for it. Kudos to the first caller BTW, would have done the same 100%

[@RhiannonLaurie]

Yeah, I loved that shoutout.

[@dsch2000]

Its crazy to me that miles has had so many different animals but doesnt know that cat bites (or any other animal for that matter) can cause fevers and give you reeeally dangerous infections 😬 good for the girl that she went and got it checked out right away.

[@jacquelynchin5513]

For the first caller: anything that says “low-fat” is extra processed and means they had to add extra sugar (whether natural or artificial sugars) to make it taste okay. And sugar does more harm to your body than fat. Just because fat as more calories per gram, doesn’t mean it’s bad. You NEED fat in your diet. Artificial sugar and processed food is soooo bad for you

[@calypsow.2432]

I'm so sick of people saying low-fat foods are healthier. Fat doesn't make people gain weight, carbs/sugar do. Sheesh

[@TM.BECK14]

We accidentally got low fat peanut butter once and it was so gross 🤢 basically diluted/cut with corn syrup solids and a bunch of sugar

[@barmhjertige1]

God I need that recipe though, and to make it the way they did😂

[@bernardom.238]

When miles say “I’m humiliated…on my own show” I fucking lost my mind idk something abt the way he said it

[@ellenlovre]

Omg I grew up in the Portland Public School system and we only had an art teacher for two of the six years of elementary school! But they were the BEST two years and I loved our art teachers so much, so thank you to Raina's mom (even though she wasn't my art teacher) for doing the absolute most!! My mom is also a teacher (public high school) so shout out to public school teachers in general they are some of the greatest people on this planet.

[@monyx2926]

I am not allergic to cats, and I volunteered with animal rescue for over ten years. However, I did end up in the emergency room from a kitten bite on my finger. It was throbbing, hot, and painful. I felt silly, but the doctor told me it was the best move. I could have lost my finger or worse. Cats' bites can cause serious infections because of the pathogens in their mouths. I still have pets, but do take that seriously. $60 is a drop in the bucket.

[@monicama624]

Cat bites can definitely make people sick, and just like dogs, if cat bites are reported, they can also be put down if they bite too many times and those bites cause health issues.

[@morgans3936]

Loved the Maintenance Phase shoutout, it's a great podcast y'all!!!

[@morganmagnussen4798]

54:48 maybe it is cat scratch fever. My dad had a scratch on his finger and got a bad infection from my dog lightly playbiting

[@morganmagnussen4798]

I know that cat scratch fever is a thing or it might just be a really bad accidental infection

[@Marym419]

Perfect guest and such a funny episode and good vibes! Please have Raina back again!

[@smariewalker]

For the cat caller-I am allergic to cats and have two that are up to date on all their shots. They are the sweetest, most loving cats I have ever known. I made the mistake of petting one of them, not washing my hands, and rubbed my eyes afterward. This led to me temporarily losing sight in my left eye and I got a fever. My allergic reaction was so swift and scary. I thought I was going blind… it was such a crazy experience. Anyway…I ended up having to go to urgent care for a steroid shot, antibiotics, (and an unnecessary scolding from the doctor for having cats while allergic to them). 🙄 I wish my bill was $60- I believe it ended up being around $260.

[@elisefyhrie6256]

[@ralyssa11]

[@ashleybangle8753]

Cat bites are no joke! There are serious consequences when the skin is punctured deep enough and if it is not treated immediately. No, it is not due to the allergy but instead the crazy bacteria they carry in saliva. I believe the roommate.

[@J2Jgames]

$60 is such a low cost for treating an animal bite with complications

[@Kristina-bz3ej]

It’s actually pretty common to get infections with cat bites. Cat bites are more prone to infections than dog bites even. Typical protocol is to update their tetanus and give them a strong antibiotic like Augmentin

[@adrianpink8144]

[@annabarker807]

Just thinking about how I got bitten by a dog ( my fault, forgot the dog was aggressive with food and tried to lure it off the couch with food) My bite within 12 hours was so infected that I couldn’t sleep or do anything other than writhe in pain. There’s just so much bacteria in animals mouths it can come in really quickly. Even with small bites 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@XpiXiepX]

I love their responses to the 1st caller's story. Screw that competition and the screw that school's workplace culture. #dietsdontwork #ditchdietculture #dietsaredeadly

If you want scientific evidence and research studies to back it up, I recommend Anti-Diet by Christy Harrison and Unapologetic Eating by Alissa Rumsey.

[@SarahSzeto]

Raina and Miles, thank you for the acknowledgement of us student protesters Much love

[@TheShauNanigans]

Thank you! I visited my college's encampment and it was a wonderful experience. Just remember, the overreaction from university staff and police are to be expected, unfortunately. Never forget that, because it will happen again with the next and the next. And everyone will always scream "I can't believe this is happening". Why? It happened for workers' rights, women's rights, civil rights, Vietnam, AIDS activists, Occupy Wall Street, the pipelines, George Floyd, and now Palestine. This is always how the reaction will be from the people with the power. Use that knowledge. It isn't okay whenever it happens. If you prepare yourself for the inevitable, while everyone else is freaking out remind them that this is always how this works. And until we decide to do something about it, this will always be how it works. Solidarity. That is your campus and these are our streets. We're not free until Palestine is free.

hey guys, it is not normal for your cat to bite people looool you can definitely train your cat to redirect aggression.

Lol right? I used to think all cats bit & scratched people, but I’ve met so many gentle cats who have never done that!

[@christywillis1707]

Yeah, I have never been around a cat that was a biter, but it sounds like maybe he doesn't know much about taking care of his cat if he lets his roommate give it cheese.

Knew Mommy was a teacher. Damn water challenges and weight loss challenges. Also good for you for leaving at contract hours. Don't let them guilt you into staying

Tall Kings usually don’t have average feet. Also, high five on wide FEET. It’s torture wearing formal shoes.

[@peachesndjules3309]

can i say something about the first callers comment about getting weighed for part of the healthy contest? obviously its awful regardless but i seriously hope that this didnt involved the kid themselves in any way, its been proven that that type of weight talk is incredible dangerous for kids, especially when it comes to potentially developing eating disorders or unhealthy relationships with their bodies in general that is where it starts

[@spicypotatosofttaco3227]

[@emmamacdonald9415]

To tack on to the cat scratch fever theory, I will say I have a very mild cat allergy and when a cat lightly scratches me (like barely breaks the skin) it swells up almost immediately. For my husband who has a more severe allergy, if he accidentally gets cat hair in his throat he can get an asthma attack. And yes, it's in their saliva! So a bite would be direct contact with the allergen. I love cats but they be crazy. Side note: insane that she thought she could feed a cat cheese, who had previously tried to bite her.... Just so many levels of no.

[@he.said.teenjiejer]

[@zemanthekawaiicannibal5395]

59:13 sorry no. Cats can be easy to train, you just have to stick with it and not laugh at the mischief intent cuteness

[@silvermoon808]

Just do you know Miles, different kinds of reactions to an animal allergy can flare up when a bite or stratch breaks the skin. For instance, even a small wound that barely breaks the skin can get all puffy and take long to heal fully. It's also not unheard of to get sick afterwards as well. It all depends on the person. The allergy can be as small as the sniffles but an injury from the animal can get infected fast. I don't blame you for not knowing! You really need personal experience from you or someone in your life to know this sort of thing I feel. It's not really talked about often.

[@22cowboys]

100% didn't think Quakers (Raina) knew about kissing more than one person LOL LOL

[@torithibs]

[@abundantlyariel]

Okay cat scratch fever is very real & I guess there could be reasons the cat is being aggressive that isn’t the roommates fault, but 9/10 if a cat bites - especially hard - it’s because they’ve already given multiple cues asking for space that have been ignored. Also why is she feeding a cat cheese??? If its really cat scratch fever pay the bill but set some boundaries with her about how to interact w cats.

[@jennifernantais4145]

Cat allergies in humans are related to the saliva directly...cats clean themselves, then they shed. Also "cat scratch fever" is a thing and people can get really sick from a bite. Why do people in California seem to not know anything about or like cats?! hahaha

[@Kate_P]

Cat Scratch Fever is actually a real thing and comes from a bacteria in the cat saliva. Not to justify the overreaction but it is a thing and doesn’t mean your cat is sick as it’s a normal bacteria for them but humans don’t handle well. You just have to be careful and wash out bites and scratches right away to help avoid it.

One of our cats nips at us when he gets over stimulated, but it is never a full on bite.
