Double speed helps. Also they do get paid for it,

2024-10-28 06:12:20 +0000 UTCI am surprised there isn’t one already. Does seem to be an oversight.
Andrew Gibson
2024-10-28 06:11:47 +0000 UTCThat's all fair to say. I think maybe I should've said that they're CONSIDERED less safe and efficient. And I was thinking more specifically about fieldwork, like harvesting grain. I'm sure they're generally fine for the typical one-person job, but I haven't used one myself.

2024-10-27 02:33:14 +0000 UTCSickles are found in antique stores but failing that try lehmansnonelectric.com. you'll need a sharpening stone as well. I find sickles a faster, quieter and longer lasting string-trimmer for brush cutting and the rapid harvest of herbs. I guarantee that if you use a sickle or scythe for their jntended purposes at work you will be more watched by rubber neckers than ever before

2024-10-26 02:13:40 +0000 UTCI’d actually say they’re more efficient on rough terrain. A grass scythe could clear an overgrown field way quicker than a mower unless it was an expensive mower

2024-10-24 21:24:20 +0000 UTCI volunteered at a donkey rescue in college! They are basically big puppy dogs that hesadbutt you for pets and roll around in the dirt. I did get kicked once and can confirm that it hurts lol. (Came with the territory. Socializing abused animals comes with risks)

2024-10-23 22:24:06 +0000 UTCI think it’s adorable that Thomas thinks the sound person and closed captioning person are anyone but the Wrights.

2024-10-23 16:59:13 +0000 UTCMy fundamentalist friend was telling me that donkeys are a Christian animal because they are the "only" animals with a cross on their back. So Jesus came into Jerusalem on a donkey i.e. a cross and left on a cross. Idk if this is a new line of thinking but it might explain the donkey obsession.

2024-10-23 15:06:56 +0000 UTCDonkeys can reproduce fine, you're thinking of mules, which is the hybrid offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, which generally are infertile

Morris Salisbury
2024-10-23 10:58:19 +0000 UTCI wanted to, but other people already mentioned it, and I didn't want to be redundant.
Markus D
2024-10-22 20:45:44 +0000 UTCI've heard that they're the best for watching llamas. I don't know exactly why; it's just a fact I've heard people say. I'm guessing for that security reason, exactly.
Markus D
2024-10-22 20:43:23 +0000 UTCI don't think they're super common now because they're less efficient and safe than the modern alternatives.
Markus D
2024-10-22 20:40:54 +0000 UTCI literally tried all the hardware stores in town and couldn’t find one. I’m sure you can get them online
Zach Van Stanley
2024-10-22 20:34:24 +0000 UTCDonkeys are apparently good security for other animals. There's a pig rescue near us-- yes, pigs, and goats! -- they told us how the donkey keeps away snakes and coyotes out whatever else because the donkey takes NO SHIT and will stomp an intruder.

Amanda McGuirt
2024-10-22 16:58:22 +0000 UTCI agree with Thomas about the AI voice thing because that English accent was relatively realistic and I don’t believe this film maker is capable of that

2024-10-22 15:20:02 +0000 UTCDo the Wrights know you can just buy another scythe? They sell them, you could kit the whole damn family with them.
Denise Huston
2024-10-22 15:16:41 +0000 UTCHow on earth does a scythe or knife or whatever make you feel LESS WATCHED, Abby? Explain the process.
Denise Huston
2024-10-22 15:04:30 +0000 UTCI really hope these people are better at animal care than film making
General Contact Unit Problem Child
2024-10-22 14:54:11 +0000 UTCJust make sure they're actually looking after the donkeys. There are people who do rescues and people who do social media with animals.

2024-10-22 14:53:22 +0000 UTCI like the increased interaction from Heath when he leads the podcast. He's usually much quieter when it's the trio.
Rachel Manente
2024-10-22 14:07:45 +0000 UTCI went to a horse auction - like it’s someone buys them or they become glue and overseas meat - and there were SOOOO many donkeys … I don’t know anything about why but they FAR out numbered the horses … I also really enjoyed being the first tattooed, pierced, and trans person these rural Texas people had seen ..

2024-10-22 12:22:35 +0000 UTCDefinitely came to the comments here to make sure this info was shared!! Haha

HeroesComeCheap
2024-10-22 10:03:34 +0000 UTCThomas and Eli seem to have confused donkeys with Mules/Hinnies. Donkeys can definitely mate with other donkeys and have fertile young, they are a species. A Donkey and Horse, produce Mules or Hunnies which are infertile, because horses and donkeys are different species. However, all of these animals are clearly inferior to the Zeedonk!
Andrew Gibson
2024-10-22 09:14:01 +0000 UTCThe real question is: how many of us are going to donate to Ashley Wright's donkey rescue?
Gareth Bayne
2024-10-22 06:58:24 +0000 UTCooh! lydia, we haven't heard from her in a while, and she's always a fun guest.
potato potato also another potato
2024-10-22 02:10:25 +0000 UTC40 mins in and NO sparkle donkey mention? I guess these guys are professionals and not going to go for that low hanging fruit.
KeepingThePlatesSpinning
2024-10-22 01:55:34 +0000 UTCSorry Eli, I'm with Thomas on the voices. There is no chance in hell that David Wright can do accents for those phone calls. The first one was definitely him though.
Athena Chalcioecus
2024-10-22 01:22:45 +0000 UTCAre there enough Wright Family Films on here now to warrant a collection? I love these so much.
OhMG
2024-10-22 00:35:02 +0000 UTCI'm putting the over/under of the number of people who end up correcting Thomas on whether donkeys can reproduce at 30. And I'm taking the over.
Starshark
2024-10-22 00:21:06 +0000 UTCHow Did This Get Made got into this a few years ago. Apparently Amazon is very chill about movies sold through Prime as long as there are professional captioning. So...what is Thomas podcast called.😉
Lora Forsyth
2024-10-21 22:51:54 +0000 UTCAll this talk of donkeys and all I can think about is Fuck-Donkey from that Noah’s Ark cartoon
Adrian Black
2024-10-21 22:42:18 +0000 UTCIt's not entirely inconceivable, but only a female mule with either a horse or a donkey.
Bram Kaandorp
2024-10-21 22:29:37 +0000 UTCJust watched the "trailer" ....lol ..... How did you guys watch the whole thing? You really do love us!
Jen nutter
2024-10-21 21:28:05 +0000 UTCDonkeys can reproduce, but mules (offspring of a male donkey and a female horse) can't! They have an uneven number of chromosomes.
Stella
2024-10-21 21:23:46 +0000 UTCI watched this on YouTube. I don't know how you people get through them every week.
