SARAH: So what we're going to do is we're going to go through some products and I'm
just going to ask you to tell me what you think they are, react to them. I'll ask you
some questions. If you need hints, I can help you out with that. We'll have an adventure.
KENT: Well, it sounds like fun.
SARAH: It will be, I'm confident.
KENT: Ok, Sarah. Bring me some stuff.
SARAH: Oh, I will.
Let's start here.
KENT: Alright. A long but...this is like an Orvis fly fishing
rod holder. But, obviously not.
So what does this hold, cause it's got such a heavy duty zipper.
It's by Big D. I know they make blankets. But a blanket cannot fit in here. I'm pretty,
pretty sure of that.
Even the most lightweight, wonderful, compact one.
(sigh)
What would I use it for besides a blanket holder is kind of my real question. Cause
I think this could have some uses, right? You could have some fun with this.
It's a little too heavy to go camping with. I would not want to put a stack of 20 oranges
in this and go hiking.
SARAH: For many reasons.
(laughing)
KENT: Mainly for the weight factor. It's all about weight when you're hiking.
Actually, this thing could more like hold grapefruits or watermelons. It's quite, quite big.
Why would...? What do you need this for?
Like, why is this a necessary thing?
SARAH: What if I told you it was called a tail bag?
KENT: That feels like a derogatory term, and I am offended by it.
Don't call me a tail bag.
Or even this thing. I'm sure it could be offended, as well.
SARAH: It has feelings.
KENT: A tail bag?
Would you...a tail is hair. It does not need to stay warm.
There's no reason to bundle the tail in a wonderful little...zipper thing. So...
SARAH: This doesn't go on the horse.
KENT: Oh! Of course it doesn't!
Or does it package something that was formerly on the horse?
Like is this like a strap...bag?
SARAH: No, it's called a tail bag.
It holds a tail.
KENT: A tail of what? Of woe?
A tail!?
(laughing)
A horse's tail!?
Ok. Great!
So...this part?
Does what?
SARAH: Hangs up in the trailer.
KENT: Oh.
Whoa, it's quite a big trailer...like...
SARAH: It's just a hook for like if you're hanging it in a tack room.
KENT: I know! But, usually, you know, like the one's on your jackets are a little small.
This is...I figured this went around the top part of the tail or something.
SARAH: No, the horse doesn't wear this.
KENT: A tail!?
A tail!? Grr...
I'm still...alright, so it does not go on the horse even though it's called a tail bag,
and it holds a tail.
SARAH: Yep. KENT: So, there's a different type of tail
that is associated with riding that this bag is necessary for holding.
SARAH: It's a horse's tail, it's just not on a horse.
(laughing)
KENT: Ok. So horse's have other tails. I did not know that. Umm, why would they have other
tails?
SARAH: You tell me.
KENT: Horses do not tell stories.
So, they may have...ummm. Tails for...what?
SARAH: It's a tail! Like at the end of their body that swishes around. Except it's not
attached.
KENT: So, is this like to help the horse during fly season to really get that fly that's all
the way up by their nose and whack it!
SARAH: It's for aesthetics. KENT: Aesthetics?
SARAH: Yeah. KENT: This is like a vanity tail thing?
SARAH: It's a fake tail.
But it's real horse hair.
KENT: So that's why you need an expensive bag for it. Cause that was probably pretty
expensive. So what would cause a poor horse to lose its tail?
(laughing)
SARAH: It's not a replacement, it's in addition.
KENT: But still...ok, so what would cause a horse to have a un-full or voluptuous or
needy tail?
SARAH: It's more like...the unrealistic beauty standards are such that no horse's tail is
good enough without a fake tail.
KENT: Really? So like this whole idea of being a supermodel and not realistic even applies
to poor horses?
Man. Our society sucks.
SARAH: Well that was the most fun we've had with that one.
(laughing)
NELS: He was getting so angry.
(laughing)
SARAH: It was really satisfying.
