There's some stuff, really exciting stuff. I'd like to announce one of them on the pod today. The Deextinction Company, Colossal, they have sequenced the genome of the extinct thylacine, 99.9% complete genome, with only 45 gaps remaining to be filled in. Why are these people trying to make it off the planet Earth rather than preserving the thing that we already know sustains life for as long as possible, you know? Recently, I was talking about the Indian billionaire who started this work. world's largest rescue in rehab. I think the last time we talked about this on air, I was telling you guys I was about to go over there. I was so blown away by this place. This place, this Vantara in India,

it makes the San Diego Zoo look like a roadside Mexican Zoo. Wild Times. Oh, damn. Nice, nice. Here we go, Wild Times. We're in the studio. Things are good. Life is good. How are we doing, fellas? me listen I'm I'm great I can't I can't complain I'm happy to be back in studio with you guys and know you've been traveling all over the world both y'all I'm a little bit jealous but it's always just good refreshing to be back in the studio talk about your adventure some animal shit and let's let's start here let's let people behind the curtain a bit okay as if we even have a curtain what curtain we don't even shower glass curtains no no I have no bedroom right now true

story by the way are you just shout bathing in the creek We'll get into that. You go ahead. All right. So we're on the way to the studio, and Peter sends a screenshot of his sleep score from last night. 98% slept almost eight hours. That's right. So good.

So I checked mine. Yep. I got a solid 100% eight hours and 48 minutes of sleep. Shocking. And then Forrest sends me a text and says, can you get me some tongue? We're on two a different wavelength. Yeah. What's what's going on with you?

It's just hectic. I'm just trying to squeeze everything in. So I've been sleeping like three, four hours a night, which is now created an upset stomach situation. Body is revolting. I'm shutting down as a human being currently. Still so happy, though. That's what I love about you.

I got to do it. You know, you got to get it when the getting's good. And it is right now. Like things are busy. There's some stuff. Really exciting stuff. I'd like to announce one of them on the pod today. Ooh, I'd like to hear it.

Yeah. And so things are good. But it's just like I'm getting no sleep. I don't have time. to sleep. I'm either with the kids or working until midnight 1 a.m. And then I get up at like pre 5 to get going again before the kids wake up. Well, you're forgetting the part about that you're literally flying to and from places every single week. Like it's crazy. Like, because I do what you do with the kids and work. It's just kids work, kids work. But I don't do the traveling. And that's the thing that

really makes your body like, get the F out of here. It's hard to take a flight that's even more than like an hour without coming down with the cold. It really is. Yeah. When you get on an airplane, you're just signing a waiver that you're going to be sick now. We talk about airplanes on this podcast more than animals. I would say so. We are flight heavy.

Spend my life on airplane. I want to just, so Kyle, he hit me up yesterday. He's like, hey, did you pack the key? Because from AnimalCon, we got this case with tripods on. He's like, did you pack? Do you have the key to get into the case? And I was like, uh, I mean, that was a month ago. I have no clue.

don't know. And he's like, I was like, maybe it's here. Nope, not there. He's like, I think we're going to have to break in. So he just, he just busts into this. And then he goes, I forgot I had to set all this shit up. And I was just like, oh, what, did you spend the night here, Kyle? Yeah. Came here, forgot he had to do it. Go ahead. I knew that I had, I had boxes and stuff at my house that I needed to bring from AnimalCon. It just didn't occur to me until I was pulling up here that I was like, oh, I have to set all this stuff up. Okay. So you did. I did. I did. I did. I I did it last night. I did it last night.

Right, right. What time did you get? So what was your sleep score, Kyle? What time did you get to bed? Ask the futon. Yes. What I was picturing was Kyle has all these boxes in his trunk. Comes in, plops on the futon with his bag of Taco Bell, wax it, and then just goes to bed without setting up.

That's not what happened to know. I was prepared to come here. I was like, oh, dude, I'll go there. It's going to be awful. But I'll go there with a saw. I was like, where's that saw? Like, in case we have to saw. under this box.

Good Lord. Anyways. So, Forrest, what was, we haven't had a chance to talk about it since I was not at AnimalCon. Yeah. I heard some stories, saw some texts, but there was a text thread on our WhatsApp message that indicated that Peter was going to have to do an entire day by himself at AnimalCon. I was so proud of this. What, okay, so what happened?

So I've never been both so angry and so relieved at the same time. I was so proud of this. I just, Peter was having so much anxiety about AnimalCon already. And so the day, it was day one, right? Day two. Day two. After we got smashed, you were up. I've never seen you up so late.

Oh, yeah. We were up to like 4 a.m., you know, typical AnimalCon. So it was very believable. I was like, who are you drinking with? Everyone. Yeah. Literally. I mean, there was no like core.

I mean, there was. There was a core group. A couple of the guys from last year. Carter was there. You know, I think his name was John. A bunch of the peeps were there. and then Sam was there. Yeah, our Irish friends.

Yeah, we had a squad, but we just sent it until like 4am. Like literally got like chucked out of the hot tub. Like the whole thing. I left Forest laying poolside on one of the tape on one of the reclining chairs. My safe place. I was calling it a night on a lounger. Yeah, at about 4 a.m. My sandals were left at, they were lost, gone.

And I also went to the wrong place and called them. And I was like, I can't get in with my key. They sent security. And he's like, you're in the wrong tower. I was like, shit. So because of that, I did legitimately get up in Ralph at one point in the night. And that stemmed a brilliant idea. So I texted Peter and Kyle to panic both of them.

No, no, no, no, no. Wait, before we got to Forrest texts, we're hitting up AnimalCon. We're about to start live streaming in like 10 minutes. Starts at 10 a.m. The live stream starts at 10 a.m. Right. And so, and so Forrest isn't nowhere to be found. Like he's not walking around like he normally is.

He's not doing things. You don't see him around. He's not people. And we're like, where the hell's for it? It gets on to like five minutes. And then Jay, who's the guy who set up like all the interviews and stuff, he's like, starts panicking because we're like, for us isn't here. Like Kyle's trying to hit him up.

His phone is going straight to voicemail. Oh, God. Like the, the, uh, straight to voicemail is nasty business. And WhatsApp aren't getting the double check. So like he's not getting the checks.

Right. Literally like two minutes before he's like, now you go. Sure. So I planned it. I was literally at Starbucks getting coffee, but I intentionally screened all of their calls and didn't read the WhatsApp messages. And then exactly five minutes,

not two minutes, before we were set to record. As I was walking to the convention center, I texted Peter and Kyle, and I said, came down with the worst stomach flu, not going to be able to make it. You got this, Peter.

And then sent it and then put my phone in my pocket because I knew they would start calling me again immediately. So it was mayhem. So at that point is when we told, Jay. And Jay is just like, we got Mikey Bustos. Mikey Bustos millions, millions of followers. I was like, I just look at Kyle and I'm like, I'm not doing it, dude.

And like, so now, and now we're trying to figure out who can fill in for Forrest, who has to know all of the people. And like, we're just, everybody is frantic, like literally running around like just with a panic look for. All the hell is broken. Kyle, who never freaks out is just like, I. And I'm like, I'm like. I'm not doing it.

I'll leave right now. I will leave. So Kyle freaking out is just him saying nothing. He mentally checked out. So then I walked in at 9.59. So I gave them, I think it was actually six minutes of panic that I planned for. And then I walked in right at 959. And what did I do?

You were so sweaty. You were the sweatiest I've ever seen you. I jumped on it. And he jumped on me and gave me one of those like gripping bear hugs. Like an angry want to knock him down, but also so happy. 220 pounds of koala. Could you imagine? four hours of me trying to interview a bunch of people and I don't know shit about animals.

Kyle would have had to go on. Yeah. You would, like someone would have just come up with like a python and you would have been like, so tell me about this amphibian. No, not to mention the pure wild times chaos nonsense on prepared form. We had a show doc that was like 20 pages.

They had all these people on it that maybe like two of them were there. So I had questions for a bunch of people who weren't there. Yep. And I was just like, but when I did have the questions, dude, we were fucking killing. it, man. No, it was good. We had a good show. I just, I really enjoyed sending them into a spiral. It was bad prank. It's by far the, the best prank that's been pulled on me in my adult life.

There was so much panic when I walked in the room. It was great. But AnimalConn was good, man. We, we drank a lot. We had a lot of fun. It was all the same stuff. It's growing. The event's growing. Much bigger. Yeah, this year they had a water buffalo there. Nice. It got kicked out. Water Buffalo got removed. Really? Yeah, the hotel staff were not prepared for a water buffalo. You have to tell us. Correct. Cangaroos, all kinds of stuff going on. Lots of people came from overseas to see us. We had a couple from Ireland that came that were awesome. We hung out with. And just like other people that you remember last year there was like people watching us all day. Some fans came out who probably lived in the area. For us, I mean, there was like 50 people watching the

pot at any given time. The stands crazy. The seats were full almost the whole time. Nice. So it was good. Sorry, I missed it. Next year, mate. Next year. Absolutely. Kyle. Press the bar.

What's in the news? Wait, what the hell's going on? I like it. I like it. It's a medley. He's a medley. Unprepared wild time. Try again, Kyle.

Try again. Oh, there it is. I pushed two buttons on one time. What's in the news? What's in the news? He fast-fingered it. Real button pusher. All right.

All right. Well, I'm excited about this. Forrest, I want to hear your take. We've talked about Colossal quite a bit, but, you know, I'm wearing their shirt right now. They're doing some cool shit. That's a cool shirt, too. They have announced the De-Extinction Company, Colossil, has announced that they have sequenced the genome of the extinct thylacine. Wow.

The Tasmanian tiger. 99.9% complete genome with only 45 gaps remaining to be filled in. Incredible. which is crazy. It's the closest they've ever been. Anyone's ever been. Yep. Yeah?

What's going on here? So they found a preserved museum specimen that was unknown about or maybe not checked. And they pulled that and basically, I'm going to butcher all the numbers, but I was talking to Colossal about this.

So they found the specimen. I believe it was in Australia, mainland Australia, not Tasmania. And they're like, holy shit, how's nobody ever sequenced a specimen? Like,

even though it's 70 years old, whatever. They're like, how's nobody ever sequence this. And then they sequenced it and found that by sequencing that specimen, it was so well preserved that it filled out like several hundred gaps that they, I'm making all these numbers up. But, you know, they had this huge discrepancy of gaps in the sequencing.

And then they're like, this animal just filled in all of those gaps for us. So now they're down to just 45 gaps, which is basically an AI program to figure that out. You know what I mean? You just got to run enough mathematics to figure out those remaining gaps. Powerful enough to tutor. Do they need a 100% complete sequence? In order to make it, yeah. Exactly.

Yeah, but they're at 99.9%. And so the DNA that they pulled was from a tooth from 120-year-old specimen. Wow. And then they're like, it's all in the core of the tooth. You know, teeth stay preserved, right? Like teeth, that's like you burn a corpse or whatever, and there's still teeth in the ashes. Right. So they've, yeah, managed to find all this stuff.

And then they made this big announcement. And basically they're that much closer to having a. thylacine back. The, so they did the woolly, Wally mammoth was the big first announcement that they did. Was that one at a hundred when they did it? No, no, no. I don't know what it's at, to be honest, but thylacine is now moved up on the timeline. Wow. Okay. So I don't know what mammoth was at. They were always predicting that mammoth would, first mammoths would be born in 2028. So what does it look like if they bring back the thylos?

Right. That's just a few years away. Like our kids won't even be teenagers when there's mammoths around. Also, I bet the number goes up with the rate at which AI is advancing right now. But, so what does that look like if they actually, when they end up actually bringing back the thylacine? Do they put it in captivity and then release it or what will they do? It's a lengthy process. There's a big area in Tasmania. They're working with Tazi Ark, I believe. And they'll, they'll, you know, they'll use the Dunnart, which is the closest living relative. It's basically like a marsupial mouse. They'll, so all marsupials, are born the size of a jelly bean, right?

And then they crawl into their mother's pouch. So it doesn't matter if the thylacine was 50 pounds and the Dunnardt 5 pounds or whatever. They're all these tiny little jelly beans when they're born. So they'll birth a thylacine through a Dunnardt surrogate. The thylacine will go into the Dunnarts pouch

for not a lot of time because then it will be too large. And then it will move into an artificial pouch, kind of like an artificial womb, grow out to being a pup. Then that pup pluses, you know, they're not going to do one at a time. I'm probably going to do five or six or I don't know.

Sure. And then they'll take those animals and put them into a small but controlled wild area and study them and teach them how to be thylosine. So it's a very long process. It's not like, okay, we got them, chuck them out in the wild of Tasmania. We'll be good. But they will be put back into the wild and then the population will be left to grow. I mean, in success. In success.

That's probably many decades from now. But it's incredible. It's such a big step towards what humans normally do, which is destroy everything. Well, here's the other thing. It may not work. Right, there's trial and error with everything. So like the fake womb might not work. The Dunnard might fucking die.

But I feel like colossal. Nothing that they're projecting or expected will go how they're projecting or expected it. Right. Doesn't mean they're going to stop. Doesn't mean they're going to quit. Doesn't mean they're going to fail. The artificial pouch fails, they'll make another one. You know what I mean?

They'll use a kangaroo. Like they'll just keep being dynamic until they figure it out. Exactly. So cool about it. Well, that's, I mean, when you have a mission and you're colossal, like you have money now. People believe in you. your whole purpose is now to do this. It's like you overcome those failures until you get it done.

I like this Kyle just highlighted. So the CEO of Ben Lamb of Colossil was sort of grilled on why they hadn't published anything that proved that their claims were true. Yep. And his quote was, we are not an academic lab where papers are our main focus. We will continue to make progress much faster than the process of writing scientific papers. That's why I love Ben.

I was texting Ben literally this morning. Like, that's why I love that guy. He's just like, fuck the, I'm not going by your convention. I don't care about your papers. He's like, I'm here to bring animals back. Fuck off. He's like, I don't give a shit what you guys think. That's what makes him so awesome.

Yeah. I'm very pro-ben. I totally agree with what he said as we're not an academic lab. We're not paper-focused. I'm curious, I want to get people's take. Comment in the comments below. How do you feel about this? Do you think the scientific institution, like colossal, should be focusing on putting out papers,

which, in my opinion, detracts from their work? Or should they just be? focused on their goal and say, give the old middle finger to those that are. Yeah, I'd be curious to know what the listeners think because I think a lot of our listeners are, they have studied in the sciences and stuff. So yeah, I am curious. People are sick of it, man. They're sick of the scientific process and the fact that it's just bureaucracy and a race

for money. I swear to God, people are sick of it. Oh, 100%. I'm hearing it and seeing it more and more. And it's refreshing. It's why TV has gone to shite and YouTube is the new, everybody just watches YouTube because it's just go out there, you shoot something. whatever happens happens you know

it's a lot going on um what is that even on youtube have you watched youtube it's insane it's just like it's like it's insane it's insane it's insane it makes no sense there's nothing linear it's just like a guy screaming at a camera i know because i'm doing it too i got one coming out this week is just like fish jumping everywhere and i'm yelling by the way

dude it's so good we did it on the bonus pod we played a sneak peek and it's it is amazing what it's chaos it is It looks like chaos, too. Dude, it's funny, though, because my wife said to me the other day, oh, my foot, I got to stop the foot. My foot? Oh, him. Yeah, but I, uh, she was like, how do you think the four dummies book series is doing these days?

Good question. I was like, probably not great. Yeah. Because like, probably once every two weeks, I just go to YouTube and am able to fix something at my house. Mm-hmm. Or it was before I would have had to go to a bookstore and buy the plumbing for dummies. Dude, plumbing for dummies, like the four dummy series was the original YouTube. It's how our parents had to troubleshoot them.

Literally had to go to the library and get a four dummies book. So, all right, I got another new story that I loved. And this is, this is, I sound like Donald over here. The media is blowing this out of proportion. Oh, that's a beautiful impression. Was that good? Thank you. No, it was horrible.

Oh. So I saw this headline and I was like, no way, child. trying to try to pull this off. But it's not what it sounds like. So Aquarium Star Whale Shark shocks visitors because it turned out to be a robot. Yeah. So that headline makes me believe that people were duped. They were trying to deceive people into believing the robot was.

They've done it before. I'm looking at it right now. It's a robot. It doesn't even look remotely not like a robot. I can see the bolts. You guys know about animals. I would be like. Look at the fins.

The fins are literally like, they're like flaps of an airplane. It looks like a submarine. So I read into the story. Allegedly the zoo never intended for people to be duped by the whale shark. Of course. They were promoting this as their robot whale shark in one of their tanks because they're not pro whale shark in captivity, which I agree with. I think that's great. But the problem is people, and this is where people are so fucking stupid, people are so stupid that they like, or wait a minute, that's not a whale shark.

And then they got upset and took to like Twitter and stuff and started yelling at the aquarium. and they're like, we know it's not a whale shark. At no point did we ever say this was a whale shark. We thought the robot was a pretty good attraction. Yeah. And people thought they were trying to dupe them. Interesting. So it was sort of like fake outrage or misplaced outrage.

It's misplaced outrage, but it comes from a relatively good place. And I'll tell you why, because Chana has been doing the, you remember the pandas, the fake pandas? Yeah, I was just going to say that earlier. So there is this trend in China where they're like basically faking out. animals in zoos right now and are getting away with it because like this fucking thing. Remember when they put the, what were they like chow? Oh, yeah. That's a chow.

Yeah. But dude, don't you think that possibly they, they were, they didn't tell people. I don't know the nuance of it, but I can't believe that people, if they didn't put robot whale shark in the attraction title, then people came out. No, bro, go back to that. Go back to that. I get it. I get once you see it, but you pay for the ticket online.

you think you're going to see a whale shark. You get there. It's a robot. And then China's like, no, you idiots. Obviously, it's a robot. It's also like the size of a cod. Yeah. It's like I could scoop it up.

I'm looking at two divers who scooped it up. Yeah. It's a pretty good looking fish. I'm just saying, I don't believe that all the aquarium executives looked at it. We're like, yeah, yeah, they're going to fall for this for sure. And then, like, backpedal, we're like, oh, we never meant to fool you guys. I don't think so. It's the clickbait of.

Of aquariums, dude. New York Post is really good. So look, there's another headline. I want to do this live. What is the slimy orange alien egg pods discovered in river? This is huge. I've been seeing it all over. And they're rapidly spreading.

Click. Click immediately, Kyle. They think it's an... All right, what's your guess first? Pretty litter is, I've raved about it. They asked for their website. They said, can you give us a quote? Okay.

And it was very easy for me because I've said it before. But I, people, you guys know that I have a cat named Lemley, which is 14. And I did think to myself, I'm probably never going to have another cat. Because the changing of the litter had just become such an issue. It's not worth it.

I just, it's my least favorite part. Pretty litter offered to send us a free bag when they were interested in sponsoring the podcast and we say we need to try the product first for all of our products. I got it and my wife and I were like, how does this work this well?

Remember those apple snails in Louisiana? They're kind of orangey. Those are the ones that if you lick them, you get sick and you die. You get rat lung worm. Oh my goodness. Do you know about this?

No. Tell me. Quick sidebar, quick, because I do want to see what the headline is. The apple snails that they have in Louisiana, Florida, places like that. They're invasive, right? Very invasive.

They're from Asia. They lay these eggs. But the eggs can carry rat lung worm, which, if ingested by a human, sends this worm into your lung and ultimately your brain, I believe. and there's no cure for it. So, yeah.

So you just go insane, it eats your brain and you die? Do you remember? I think so. It's not good. I mean, it was bad. I remember there was a, it was a story right around the time we were filming in Louisiana for Extincter Alive that like some college frat bros. There was a snail and someone like dared him to eat it.

Yep. And he did. And then the kid ended up like going crazy or whatever and dying. Dying. What a nightmare. Yeah. So let's see. What are these?

What's your guess? Have you figured it out already? I read the thing. Okay, what's your guess? What are these orange globules? Well, it's got to be the tall white alien species. Okay. And it's an actual egg pot of an alien.

That's right. Oh, my God. That thing's huge. It's definitely not what I said. Whoa, wait, wait. So now we see the picture. It looks like a giant magma-filled rock. It's huge.

It's like half the size of a man. It is big. What could this be? Would you like to find out? I would. I would. It's a colony of bryozone. Slimy little hermaphrodites that cluster together to create a dinosaur egg-like pod.

Oh. It was found in a river or in a canal in Holland. But what, briar zones are like, they're like a gelatinous creature, right? What is a briazone? Can you look that up, Kyle? I feel like I should know that and I don't. I love how I love, I love, I know that much. I love how the article call it a silly little hermaphrodite.

I didn't say that. They did not say silly. Okay, so a briozole. It's an aquatic invertebrate. that live in these sedentary colonies. Yeah, but they're like these tiny microscopic. It's like a diatom basically, right? But it's like a soft-shelled diatom, I think.

And then they make these big jelly balls. And then if you're stuck in the middle of the ball, do you think it gets claustrophobic? It must be. It must be. It seems boring, man. Would you slurp one of those suckers? No, because I'm,

you just told me about rat lung worm. Okay, had I not told you about rat lung worm, if you were in a fraternity and you were being pressured by 40 of your bro. would you slurped one? And you were drinking. You know how I am with purebush. No, I would probably do it though. Would you?

I'm very, I'm very impressive. Yeah, you took a shot of tequila in your fucking eyeball. Wow. What did we? Oh, no, we didn't do any fun shots this time. No, we did. We did some shitty disgusting shot. It had mayonnaise in it.

It was not good. What? Yeah. I love mayonnaise. All right. It was gross. So, but dude, so this is basically a bunch of these things like congealed together in the egg and then it explodes and like trillions of them come out?

I don't think. No, they don't come out. They just, that's it. Oh, that's where they live. You're looking at the life form right there. That's it. Silly little hermaphrodite. It says it right there in the article.

There's no way it said the word silly. It didn't. It's, yeah. So they can clone themselves. That's pretty interesting. Yeah, well, if you find one of these, don't slurp it. Don't slurp it. Don't dare your buddy to do it either.

But chug it instead. Yeah, exactly. That's a smart thing to do. All right, well, speaking of aquariums, duping people and things of that nature, this is not related to that at all. I'm just trying to come up with a clever transition. It's called a segue. Yeah.

I love when I come up with shitty segways, I get shit on. But when you do it, it's a laughable moment. I self-deprecated. Did you see that? I always self-deprecate. That's all I do on this show. But then you get all your feelings hurt when we shoot out. No, I don't have feelings anymore since I've lost a week.

We've calloused him to feelings. His wife loves it. Yeah. All right. No, I have, it's going to take a minute. Good. Take $35 million. He's about to get a moche.

Dude, I might actually. And I'm even going to throw Kyle under the bus here. He cried. Kyle, did you or did you not cry? Fact. Wow. Okay. Did you get it on film?

He's an easy cry. Send it to his future wife. We didn't get on film. But I'll tell you this. We did get on film, didn't we? Yeah, we did. We got it. Kyle cut it in.

Okay. Recently, remember we talked about putting up that little viral short, the one where I was talking about the Indian billionaire who started this world's largest rescue and rehab. Yes. I think the last time we talked about this on air, I was telling you guys I was about to go over there. That's right. Yep. I went over there with zero expectations. Just to be honest, actually not even zero expectations. To be honest, I went there thinking this is going to be some shitty like roadside Indian zoo, basically. Right? I'm like, who could build like a private

zoo? And it's not a zoo. It's a rescue and rehab. But I was like it's going to be concrete boxes. Tiger King-esque. That's, that was what I thought could potentially be it. You know, I'd done some reading that said it wasn't that. I was so fucking blown away by this place. Dude, this place, this Vantara in India, look, I'm getting goosebumps talking about it because I, look,

you can see it. Your hairs are raised. It's so unbelievable. It makes the San Diego Zoo look like a shitty roadside Mexican Zoo. Their level of care, the level of husbandry, the enclosures, because it's not a zoo, by the way, this is private. It's completely

close to the public. No, I'm the first person history to be allowed to bring a camera in there. Oh, wow. Because it's not open to the public, zoos are made for people to view animals. This is not. This is a rescue and rehab. So every enclosure of which the smallest one is maybe an acre is made to simulate an animal's natural wild environment. So it's all overgrown if it's the tiger thing in jungly with like crazy caves and stuff.

So you can't even see the animals half the time because it's made for the animal. It's not made for humans to view them. And it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. And not just because of the enclosures and stuff, but where Kyle cried and I got very emotional, and I'm dead serious about this, they have over 200 elephants that they've rescued from conflict situations. One of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen

is you walk into this elephant hospital. I don't know what it costs, but millions and millions of dollars. They've got million-dollar endoscopes for removing kidney stones from elephants. They've got a hyperbaric chamber for oxygen treatment for elephants, everything. because all these elephants come from working basically a life of slave labor, right? Like they work in India, they're logging, their tourism, they're cutting hay, they're doing construction, like they're used as tools there.

So they bring in these elephants. One of the most beautiful stories I've ever seen. There was this elephant. We walked in the elephant hospital and she's pink. Her whole body's pink. And I was like, what's going on with this Indian elephant? Yeah. She was in an circus and the tent caught fire.

And the tent fell down over her and gave her third degree burns all over her. entire body melting off her skin. Oh my God. Okay? The elephant was abandoned for dead. Anadambani, this guy, who I love, by the way, I never knew. Like, he's just the most, and I'll tell you why he did all this, because I actually asked him. He heard about the story. This elephant was lying in a ditch on the side of the road, abandoned for dead, moaning in pain to death. He sent his team down there. They collected this elephant. They brought it back to Ventara, which is like 700 miles, whatever. Then they built this elephant, its own

hyperic oxygen chamber and laser therapy to walk the elephant into to treat its skin. Now it has full-time... And this is just one story of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. Now it has full-time care, a guy who rubs sunscreen on it, takes it for walks, walks it into the hyperbaric chamber, gives it laser treatments, gives it oxygen treatment on skin. I mean, it's the most beautiful thing you've ever heard.

And this elephant's happy as a clam. You know, their EQ, their emotional intelligence elephants, they feel happy much more than we ever do. sad much deeper than we ever will. So the fact that this elephant went from what I can only imagine is the most tortured being on the planet to like this unbelievably happy thing, it's like so emotion-provoking. And the thing that, the thing that, and I can go on and on, this is just the elephants. They have hundreds of conflict leopards. They have overcrowding of mugger, mugger crocodiles from crock farms. I mean, the list goes on and on. The thing that

Kyle and I, and Kyle pop on and talk about this for a second, but the thing that made Kyle and I like well up with tears was we went and filmed with all these elephants. In the back of this elephant hospital that you're seeing the picture of right now is a, was it 2,000 acres? I think 3,000 acres. 3,000 acre forest just for the elephants to walk in every day, just to go out and walk. And for elephants to be elephants. Keep in mind, these are elephants that have spent their entire life chained to something.

Their whole life, two back legs chained together, chained to a post, whatever. So we went and filmed with these elephants. We went and walked with them out in this forest. and I asked them, I said, can I take, because they have like a little museum as a tribute to these elephants. And I was like, can I take their old chains out to show them to the elephants? Because they have such EQ, such incredible emotional intelligence, I want to see what they do. And the guy was like, oh, we've never done anything like that, but sure. So we took these chains, like big, terrible, maybe Kyle can pull up.

Now I'm getting goosebumps, dude. Just wait until I tell you. I mean, Kyle's going to start crying again. But they've been shackled up like this their whole life, right? And they have these big chains where they have sores and scars on their legs and these neck. things with spikes in them so that if they fight back it pokes into them like terrible stuff. So I grab a bunch of them. They're heavy as shit

and I take them out to this forest and I lay them down on the ground like 100 feet in front of some of the elephants and two of the elephants come walking by and they stop and you could see them get like nervous. Yeah. Right? And they're like what the fuck's going on? And they very tentatively like sniff at them with their trunk

and look at them and then all of a sudden this female girl picks up the chains throws them across the forest and starts going like she's like fuck you to the chains you know and then the other one gets in on and he grabs some chains throws them across the forest and you can see them like they're not angry at us like we're standing me to you peter from these elephants but they're angry at their chains they're angry at their former life of imprisonment and enslavement and this guy this this billionaire who humbly has never

even said anything about this publicly doesn't let people in anything has gone out of his way to spend millions and millions of dollars to save these animals just out of the goodness of his heart. It's the most touching fucking thing I've ever seen. That's incredible. Kyle, weigh in on this. Yeah, I mean, it was really hard. Like you said, you could see their intelligence. Like, they were, you know, they didn't want to come close to it at first.

Yeah. And once they finally did, they wanted to rip those things apart. Right. It was crazy, man. Yeah, you just watched them go from, like, that bottom EQ, lower, like, scared anxiety to, like, realizing that they're free. Yeah. And then just, you know.

And the place, I mean, I could go on and on about it for days because they have thousands and thousands of animals. They have a no say no policy. So if anything needs a home, it doesn't matter what it is. They will go out and rescue it and bring it there. And if they don't have an enclosure for it, they will build one. That is incredible. Like one of a kind thing in the world. And here's my thing on it, right?

And I can go on and on about the animals and the level of care, the husbandry. They have the best experts that they've brought in from all over the world. They all live at the complex. like they've built like a housing situation. It's beautiful, really comfortable and nice. So they live out there. They live there with the animals taking care of them. And I can go on and on.

The crocodiles, the leopards, the tigers. They have all these tigers from like zoos, actual not in zoos and stuff that they've rescued that have like deformities. And it's just beautiful, man. But it's just, my favorite thing about it is this guy is, you know, he's one of the wealthiest people in the world

or his family is anyway. all these dickhead billionaires, right? The Elon Musk's, the Jeff Bezos, is whatever. They're in this pointless fucking space race, which I know you like, whatever, the alien stuff. Untrue, but this guy is like, fuck that. If I'm going to waste my money on something, I'm going to waste it on protecting animals here on Earth

and saving species that need to be saved. Yeah. As opposed to spending billions of dollars to dick measure against another billionaire in a space race. We've talked about this before on the pod, dude. like, it's like this, why are these people trying to make it off the planet Earth, these millionaires, rather than preserving the thing that we already know sustains life for as long as possible, you know?

And you said, like, I'm into that. I'm not into that. Like, I'm not into the commercial space race. I'm into aliens and UFOs that already have won that race. But, but, like, dude, no, this is, this guy, I don't want to say this. It's going to be controversial. But he's like, give us your tired, give us your hungry, give us your poor of animals. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.

It's like this experiment where, you know, if, and it's crazy that it's all private. I mean, once this becomes like kind of public and out there, maybe, hopefully that can inspire maybe some of these other billionaires to be like, hey, wait a minute. Like, why am I trying to get off the planet when there's so many incredible things already here that can be preserved, you know? Well, I mean, like Ted, Ted Turner has done a lot of this. A lot of conservation stuff. A lot.

Yeah. I mean, he's, I think he's the biggest landowner in the U.S. And most of it is, um, is just there to be kept wild. Yeah. And then it's,

it's interesting. And I might misspeak a little bit here, but I was at one of the Turner ranches in New Mexico and, uh, was talking with the GM of all of the Turner properties. Cause what they'll do is they basically. And don't sue me if I slightly messed this up. But what. he told us is that his entire estate is going towards keeping this land wild and keeping

the wildlife rehab projects up, right? Yeah. And then the GM was explaining because we were thinking about using the facility to film there. Yeah. It's, you know, this massive ranch called Vermejo. Okay. And it's, I think it's like 200,000 acres. Wow.

But they do, like, they'll put like a hospitality program on it. So they'll put like a really nice resort. And then 100% of the profits of that go to projects that lists of wildlife, like not rehab, but like, you know, conservation projects. Yeah. So it's just they've tried to set it up in a way that they can just sustain these properties and just let them be sort of these cool wild lands. I think it's so fantastic. Like to me, this is what conservation. I've said this before many times.

Conservation is a war that we've been losing since its inception, right? We lose more and more species every single year. We lose more and more habitat every single year. The privatized conservation as in like, well, not even privatized, but like government organizations and not for profits and all that. They're great. Don't get me wrong. I work with tons of them. But they're fucking losing. They're losing the war. What's going to, what's going to win the war is these guys, the Ted Turner's, the Anadambonis, these guys that have almost infinite resources going, well, I'm going to do it my way. It goes back to the Ben Lamb thing, right? They're like, I'm not publishing papers. I'm not doing this how the IUCN or Rewald or any of the WWF say to do it. I'm just going to do it my way. I'm going to save animals the way that I think. I'm going to buy land and preserve it and protect it. And I'll hire all the best people that I trust.

And I just, I think it's, I think it is so fucking awesome. Yeah. It's like, it's almost like the difference between the billionaires who sit behind a desk and make their money. Like Elon Musk got his initial money. by being involved with PayPal, I'm pretty sure. Correct. Correct.

He started PayPal. And obviously Jeff Bezos did Amazon and Mark Zuckerberg did Facebook. Like these guys versus, you know, a guy like this, their mindset, they're in the concrete jungle. Like they're behind a desk, you know, and they're not outside. So it's like that it just speaks to like you have to go outside and be outside. I personally don't do it enough. And every time I do go outside, I'm just like, man, like, I got to be outside more.

And then you get sucked back in because you got to make money. You got to grind. You got to do this, that, that. But it's almost like the world and the internet and screens and computers. It's like they always just pull you back in, notifications, like everything. And like, if you can just pull away from it and get outside some of these billionaires, I'm speaking directly to you. Go outside.

Go outside, Jeff Bezos. Take a look at some. Just go on a hike. although Mark Zuckerberg does go outside I've seen him surfing and he's shredded now he doesn't know how that happened he actually is as pink as that elephant I'm pretty sure when I saw him surfing I was going to say here's the

Zuck at Ventara oh wow oh look at that in the lemur dome look at that he's out there man the Zuck with his nice shoes he's got nice shoes but those are beautiful shoes but how great is it to see that though he's he's bringing in another billionaire maybe this will inspire

Zuckerberg to want to get involved with something like this to me what I love so much about the whole billionaire side of it, it's all give and no take. Same with Ted Turner, same with Anandemani, whatever, it's all give. There's no return. There's no picture for return. He's not asking for money. He's not looking for donations. The space race things, a good media play, whatever. You know, I'm sure there's some ulterior return motive. Yeah. This is no return. This is just like, this guy, I read into his story and I asked him when I met him because I actually got to meet Anandemboni. And he's like, you know, or the story I read actually

was like when he was four years old, he used to run around the city streets and rescue chickens and take them back to like his parents' palace. He's just been obsessed with animals his whole life. So now he has the resources. He's like, I'm just going to give to animals. Maybe somebody listening to this podcast, Young Brosner, is a future, a future. Billionaire? Billionaire.

I hope so. Yeah. I mean, like that, because that's kind of the thing, right? Like a lot of our listeners, I mean, all of them are obviously super passionate about animals. Everything I hear is like, you know, I want to go out. I want to be in the field. I want to work with animals. I want to do this stuff.

And it's a challenge to, as you get older, balance that with the need to have to pay your bills and do your stuff. So a lot of people give up. But really, like, you know, if you have that passion, you just keep going and driving for what it is that drives you, the money I feel like eventually comes. You just have to figure it out early enough and like me and just go for it and do it. And eventually, like, people will be drawn to that. And in today's world, especially, like with social media and content creation, just keep putting it out there. And people are going to be drawn to that.

They're going to want you. Here's my, here's a take. And there's a lovely public service announcement. A hot take. No, but here's a hot take. Everyone who's, so our kids are little. Yeah. They will be our age in a society.

where 80 to 90% of the population of the world has no job. And basically lives in communities that are funded by the people who profit off of AI taking over the workforce. So we'll have 80% of Americans will live in block housing. Yeah. There will be food provided and entertainment cable, you know, whatever. YouTube. Wi-Fi will all be provided, and they'll have to find a place that makes those people happy because you'll have the 10% that are controlling the companies.

And do you think it'll be like a ready player one situation where you wake up? I haven't seen that. What's that? Oh, it's like Kyle can pull it up, but it's like you plug into a virtual world, basically. I don't think so. I think it'll just be that there's no employment because AI has completely, I just read about a company in Europe that just replace their entire sales force with AI. And it's working tremendously.

It's doing better than the human sales force. Yeah. So the Ready Player one thing, the reason I bring that up, because I guess what I'm saying is, because there's no employment, what do you do to keep those masses subdued? Because if you have 90% of your population unemployed, they're going to rally together and overthrow governments and blah, blah, blah, blah. But if you give them little virtual goggles like what Apple just came out with and they can live in a virtual world where all their wildest fan.

fantasies are met, they probably stay subdued. I think it'll be, it'll take a while to get it figured out to where they can keep most of the people happy. But you'll have your food provided. You'll get a coupon that entitles you to one flight a year. You know, there will literally hate this so much. I don't know how it doesn't end up happening. Well, I think, I mean, how could that not happen? I think given the current trajectory.

Because I think that there's more to human beings than just. being complacent and satisfied. And I think that once you get to a certain point of complacency, like you hit, I mean, a theoretical, like a rock bottom of just complacency. And it makes you want to break out and do something else. I mean, I think people have like a natural drive and spirit within them that gets taken away by the consumerism and the screen. Dude, no way. Not with this fucking thing in your pocket. Well, that's, I mean, that trumps it. But, you. But, You don't think that people are getting sick and tired of fucking being addicted to their phones and stuff? No.

We just come up with the next thing. Dude, the fucking Apple goggles, have you guys tried those things? No. You got to do it. You got to do it. You're trying to pull us in. I'm pulling you into the Matrix, dude. The fucking Apple Vision pros, I went to the Apple store and I put it on.

And I hate technology. We've made that abundantly clear over the last four years of podcast. Yeah, you don't know how to use most of it. Yeah, and it makes me angry. And then I just want to smash. It scares you. It scares me very much. But I went and put on this Apple Vision pro thing.

and you do like the tight walks, like the, like you walk across the slack line across the Grand Canyon and stuff. It's the most mind-blowing thing I've ever seen. Yeah. He's just like you feel like you're there. Like there was a point where the wind blows and I grabbed my chair because I thought I was going to fall off the tightro. I mean, there's a case to be made that these things aren't being invented so that people can have fun in their living room. It's that they're looking 10 years ahead. That's what I'm saying.

This is how we'll control. America doesn't work, how are we going to control them? I mean, how? This is how? Because if you can just plug into a virtual world where all your fantasies are met every day, you're not going to, you're not going to fight the system. Of course, it's incredibly depressing. Then there will be groups that are going to split off. You'll have the bulk of populations living in these, in these, you know, block housing or whatever you want to call it, these communities. And then there will be percentages of the population that go to large pieces of landers. The four, you're literally describing the movie Ready Player One.

I know you haven't seen it, but they literally all live in blockhouses. Like, it's crazy. But then are there groups that, like, there will be compounds and communes of people that accumulate some land and go live in a little self-sustaining groups. But that's, I mean, we've talked about this before. I will either murder my whole family or go move them to one of those. That's what I'm talking about. Well, you'll be very useful.

Because I was talking to this with my buddy, talking about this with my friend. And he, he kind of has like this, like, agrarian homestead thing. where he's got to put everything he needs. Cool. And I was like, man, I'm of almost no value. And I started, because I was in a long Uber ride. Uh-huh. And I started thinking, I was like, oh, shit.

Like, I want to go take my family to one of those when this happens. And let's say 10 years. Yeah. I'm like, I don't think I'm going to offer a lot because I don't have a ton of skills. Comedic value. That's what I thought. Yeah. I was like, maybe I can just be like the gesture who.

No, no, you know what it is? You need one of those hats with the bells. Yeah. No, no. I think that that. You and Forrest and even me to a degree could thrive in that type of place because like the people who just go out and and overcome challenges no matter what it is. Like I've seen you do things where like you just like like when something comes up, you just handle it. You figure out how to deal with it and you move on.

That's how you learn. Like you don't need the internet to learn stuff. Nobody had it before. You just went through your life and you learned how to make food. like when we didn't have kitchens, you learn how to make food. People will die, people won't be.

Those people will live in the communes. But the people, I'm just saying the people who want to actually like live life and like have a passion for life, they're going to be the ones that go out. And there's going to be that battle between the billionaires who want everybody to be the Matrix battery living in the thing. Let me flip this on its head for a second.

Is that such a bad thing? Which one? Which part? The whole thing. So if 90% of the population is controlled living in little block houses, wiring in, plugging in every day, and being fed gray meal. Well, I want to hear what the brosuners think about this.

I'm just saying, please comment to this question. No, but listen, if that's how 90% of the population lives and we and let's assume our brosuners are the 10% that don't live that way, is that such a bad thing? I mean, I feel like it frees up space. It frees up wildlands. Like, you know what I mean? It's like maybe the 10% that don't live that way, if you choose to, to be in that 10% have a much better life than today's.

And the other people don't even know. And the other people don't know and they're fine. And they don't care because they're wired in. And now there's less pollution. There's less overcrowding. No, I mean, we turn into a giant and farm. Listen, we have to figure out some way to make it work. We're never going to stop populating, you know.

Maybe that is the answer. And maybe that's what these guys are looking at. But you still got to have, you know, yeah, the people that go out and are explorers and have a spirit to go out to do stuff. One of my thoughts was that just being willing to join one of the outside groups might be all that's needed to join the group, right? Just showing up and saying, I want to learn, teach us. Right.

Here we are. And I'll work and I'll do help. And that might be enough. But if that's the case, then they will all inevitably turn into cults and be run like cults. With a leader who fucks the women and. Yeah, maybe. I mean, they will be run like cult. Should we start one now?

I mean, I'm just like, we have a little wild times cult. Like, I've seen it at Animal Cod. But we're like, we're not going to fuck, we're not going to fuck everybody's woman, are we? Let's not roll anything out here. Okay, let's just calm down. Kyle, don't you dare laugh. That's crass, sir. No, I mean, this is an interesting discussion.

And, I mean, I think that the forward thinkers are thinking about this stuff, man. And it's all your perspective about, I mean, you can look at it anyway. Like, you can look at Pat's way. like it's going to be somewhat grim. You can look at it at it for us way. Maybe it's a good thing. But, you know, it's going to happen because population keeps going. Tying keeps going and we got to figure out something.

Should we play a game? Yeah. Which one? Let's play the guest the animal based on their name game. Oh, yeah. All right. That's a new. Kyle's very proud of that.

Look at how smiling he is. Do it again. We got to do a little. Where did that come from? It's default. Nice. All right, Kyle, you're going to DJ because we like hearing you

try and pronounce these words and then we're going to guess the animal and country of origin guess the animal based on their native name. All right. I think Edwin is up in the stakes on this one. These are pretty tough. The AI that we just shot on for five minutes

did a really good job. If you're listening or watching on YouTube and you know it at the time that it's said before Kyle gives the answer, put it in the comments. Yeah, you're a winner. And we'll give you a treat. And if you Google it, shut up. I'll give you a heart in the comments.

There we go. All right. First one is Copic Boliagi. Copec Baleegi. We got an umlaught over the O and I don't know what that thing over the G is. I think it's also an umlaught. Is it? Okay.

It's a different. Man. All right. Copac. I have like zero clue of country of our country. I got an idea. I got an idea. I got an idea.

So this has got to be a Nordic country because of that umlaught and that a thing. over the G. That's critical thinking. Now you're thinking like a lunatic. And I don't know what animals live there, but I'm going to guess maybe it's a Kodak bear. Okay. Kopeck, Kodak, Kodak.

Okay. A Kodiak bear? Kodiak. That's what he meant. Yeah. Not Nordic. You could have corrected me before his snarky ass did it. Sorry.

No, it's, I was just going to let her ride. No, I was going to go with one of the two. I was going to go with something that's found in the Nordic, something that the Vikings might have encountered. The Norse might have encountered in Norway. I'm going to go with a wolf. Okay. We're going to stay in that region.

I'm going to go Russian for Weasel. Yeah. It's actually Turkish. Oh, I'm a bit of a bit. Yep. For shark, which is the direct translation to dogfish. Dogfish. That's shenanigans.

They don't even have sharks left in Turkey. Zero's across the board. Over under on how many we get. I'm going to say we get less. These are tough because it looks like he took out all the African ones. Yeah. Which are the ones that I know. the only ones.

And Spanish ones, which you knew. Maybe we can get one. Number three, I have a feeling about. Okay. All right. Number two for us or Kyle. Okay. This one is tough.

Go. It's smug smuggerly. Smugger. He threw in a bonus in the middle. That's not phonetically on there. Smogarly ruin. Oh, boy, you're really good at that. I think it's that.

Yeah, I think it is that. Oh, boy. Muggerli. You guys want to hear it? Yeah, sure. Yeah, try that. Genius. We have to wait 10 minutes.

I'm just going to throw my guess in right now. I'm going to go with Swedish Schmeagle. What? Swedish Schmeagle. You've never heard of a Schmeagle? Schmeagel from Lord of the Rings? Yeah. Okay.

That's fair. Royin sounds very Irish. Yep, it does. Yep. What would we find in Ireland? Now, that's tricky for me. Leprocons. Interesting.

Alcoholics. I'm going to say this is Irish for Four leaf clover. It's a horse. I know it's not. Fuck. Jesus Christ. I just want dead air.

Royne is a horse name. Royne does sound Irish. I like that. But it's not. It's Scottish, of course, for a highland cattle. Ooh. Gotcha. Well, it's so much.

It's close. So it is Irish. Oh, wow. That's a half a point. Yep. Smigels from Ireland. Half of smegles could be. Run.

It's actually... Get over here. Jellyfish. Wow. No. What's the translation? What's the literal? Uh, seal snot.

Oh, that's awesome. That's awesome. That's what all jellyfish should. Smigarly. That's a lot of... That's a great word for snot. Yeah. That's a great word for snot.

It is. Smigarly. I'm going to say that to my daughter when she blows her nose. You got you get some smigerely. You get all smigerely's out on that tissue. A little... Oh, half point. for Papa P.

You're winning right now. You're up by a half a point. That might hold. What do you got? It's going to. Number three is Z-Hond. Got this. Okay, go.

So this is zebras that reside in Germany. Okay. Zehond. Z-Hond. That's what you're going with? Z-Hond. Go if you got something.

Sure. I'm going to go Swedish for... Meatball. No, close, though. For... There's a Swedish hound. I don't know what it's called.

It's a hound. It's a dog. Zah. Okay, if it's even in the dog family, I get half a point, by the way. Absolutely. If it's in the hound group, you get a full point. There we go. Whoa.

As you're saying, Swedish. Okay. Zihond, I'm going to say, is Dutch for muscox. Wow. All right. So, first four. Oh, man, I thought he was going to give us to ding. He set it up like we had one.

Yeah, that's interesting. Well, I like how he goes, wow. So, well, first of all, hang on. Well, it's fine. So it is Dutch. Wow. Yep. It's Dutch for seal.

The direct translation is sea dog. Ah, Honda is. Hon. Hund had dog for me for sure. Hund. Okay. Yeah.

So that's another half point for Patrick. Wow. I got a full point, sir. Okay. Yep. Good good. Happy about that. All right.

This one feels like someone should get it. Yeah. Yeah. I got a feeling for the country already. It feels like a crypted, right? It does. It does. Yeah.

So this one's Oli Mango. Alamongo. Alamongo. He knows it. It's got to be a soft day. Alamo. Alamongo. I'll get first with my nonsensical answer.

This is going to be. Try, though. Try to get it. No, no, I am. I mean, I'm going to go. Uh, mex, South American. Uh, wait, no. Ali Mongo, that doesn't seem South American.

I think it could be Spanish or poor. I don't know. I'm going to go with the Spanish catfish. Okay. No, no. Spanish mango fish. Sure. Ali mango.

Lengo. You got something? Uh, yeah, I do. Aleman. I'm going to say Alamong because I could see someone being like

Oh fascinating Alimongo Moth maybe It's in the pasta Hey I think it's Portuguese But the animal hails

From Brazil South America Wait, do they speak Portuguese in Brazil? They do, they do. I'm just going for country because I got no shot here. It's some sort of monkey in Brazil. So this is, this is Tagalog. Oh, Filipino.

Okay, everything's okay. You also told me that he was part, Filipino. I'm not here spreading misinformation. Look what happens when you play the game in telephone. I thought your mom was half Filipino or something. Guamian. That's right different.

I want number six. I really want to know it. I got to know what number six is. All right. Number six. This one. Five points. Okay.

Deweez and poot. Nope. Dozen putt. Dozen putt. Oh, man. It feels very German to me. It's got to be. Yeah.

Only Germans put put put put put in a word. And by the way. it doesn't have to be an animal that lives in that country. That's where I've been fucking up. Correct. They have Nilford. Right. Hippopotamus. That's right.

Duzn Pout. Alamango is just a crab in Philippines. Dozen Pout is unquestionably German for hyena. Ah. Go ahead, Forrest. I see you. I'm thinking it's Dothraki, the made-up language. Fair enough.

I'm going to go Austrian for a poodle. Oh! Dude, I was going to say German poodle. now I can't. Oh, you might have gotten that. A poodle. All right, fine. I'm going German poodle.

Not Austrian. Could you imagine if you just heard, shing? Ding, ding. I would be like, holy shit. I don't believe. I could leave happy. All right. So this one is Dutch.

Because it's put foot? This says leg, thousand leg. Dozen. So, so last time we played this game for us. A dozen foot. A dozen foot. Not thousand left.

You chastised. You chastised Edwin for making them way too easy. And now he's gone completely in the other end. These are great. It's fun to try to figure it out. And people have learned things for sure on this. Nobody knew any of these. If you knew this and it's in the comments and we did them again right now, I still

wouldn't get one. I'm going to remember dozen putt. I would have gotten Ali Mungo crab. Ali Mungo. Oh, I can't wait till next time I, we have a friend that their kids' favorite toy is this big rubber millipede. Okay. So I can't wait to go over their house so I can say drop a dozen poot.
