But I now have to completely just accept defeat. 46 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.919 I have tried for the last few years, Austin, to 47 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.319 just assume that it would get better on its own. 48 00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:24.520 I didn't need to do anything, but I need to 49 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.599 be on medication for allergies. Allergies are kicking on my 50 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.280 ass in the last like two weeks. 51 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.960 How so, just like the sniffles, the little cough every 52 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:36.879 here and there. 53 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:41.000 So coughing, no, but my nose feels at times like 54 00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:48.159 it's being tickled internally, and my eyeballs itch. They're often watery. 55 00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:50.680 If I rub them, then I end up not being 56 00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:52.439 able to stop rubbing them, and then it looks as 57 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:53.360 if like I've got you. 58 00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.439 Know, yeah, but it feels good when you rub them. 59 00:02:55.479 --> 00:02:59.159 But not me. I never get the satisfaction. 60 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.639 Really, you know it, well maybe for a brief moment, 61 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.280 and then I realized I just got to start, you know, 62 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.520 like I want to I want to rip. The way 63 00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.879 my allergies have really impacted me in the last few 64 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.520 weeks is that I want to be able to rip 65 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.319 my eyeballs out and then scratch inside there and then 66 00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.800 put the eyeball back in. I can't, I obviously can't 67 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:16.400 do that, but I feel like it would be awesome. 68 00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:18.560 And I've lived here my whole life, like I've I've 69 00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.479 literally lived in the exact same area my entire life, 70 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.960 and as I've gotten older each year, it's gotten a 71 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.080 little bit worse, and I don't know enough about really 72 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:28.879 what causes it. But there are some times where I 73 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.800 can be out and it's not it's not that big 74 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.879 of a deal now though, like certain days like today, 75 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.599 I was outside for a good chunk of the day. 76 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.879 I went to the zoo, which was a nice little 77 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.759 uh field trip for my daughter's school. But it it, 78 00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:44.639 it kicked my ass. 79 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:46.120 I mean, I got back in my car and it 80 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.159 wasn't even like it hit me while I was outside, 81 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:50.479 but once I got in my car and drove away, 82 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.680 like I had to not pull off to the side 83 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.080 of the road, but I pulled into a gas station 84 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.360 just because I needed to like gather myself because I 85 00:03:56.479 --> 00:04:00.280 was my eyeballs were were bothering me that bad. 86 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:01.840 You're bowing down to the Uh. 87 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:03.159 Yes, yes I am. 88 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.840 I am bending the knee excepting to feed here because 89 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:06.520 I cannot. 90 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.560 I can't. I can't beat them. 91 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:10.280 I'm losing you. 92 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.240 And I've I've always for the most part, been you know, 93 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.719 pretty healthy or I've got you know, as I get older, 94 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.759 I try to make sure I at least monitor my 95 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.040 health more than I did when I was younger. But allergies, 96 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.199 I mean, I've always heard people talk about it. It's 97 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.120 not one of those things that I just assumed weren't real. 98 00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:27.680 Like there are some people that still live in this 99 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.000 world today thinking like mental health is not real and 100 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:31.639 it's just like an excuse people make, which is a 101 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.800 really sad existence. But but people think that, you know, allergies. 102 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.519 I never was like, oh, you guys are full of it, 103 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.480 but I never quite understood what it was like to 104 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.120 actually deal with bad allergies. And I've always been told 105 00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.680 that where we live in this area, the Ohio Valley, 106 00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:49.959 that you know, I guess, dependent upon what really bothers 107 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.319 you when it comes to allergies, we could we could 108 00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:53.639 be in a place that would be the worst place 109 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:55.319 for you. I'm not sure if I'm there yet. Maybe 110 00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:57.720 I'm just maybe maybe people are listening like, oh, you 111 00:04:57.720 --> 00:04:59.240 have no clue what it's like. You don't go through 112 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:01.000 what I go through. You you right, All I know 113 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.079 is that what I'm dealing with now. I got to 114 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.680 find a daily pill or something that can keep me 115 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.279 from having to deal with this because it's been I 116 00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.560 mean you may see me in here rubbing my nose, 117 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.600 rubbing my eyes, and here this is one that really 118 00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:16.920 makes me kind of thinking I need to really get it. 119 00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.759 Like the roof of my mouth itches, and I never 120 00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.560 thought that had anything to do with it, but apparently 121 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.560 that that's all allergy driven. So what I think is weird, though, 122 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.920 is why now, right, why now that I get older, 123 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.519 is it bothering me. It's not like sometimes you move 124 00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.680 to an area or you end up traveling to an 125 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:38.199 area and it really you know, you're out of your surroundings, 126 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.040 so you realize, then, hey, if I lived here, I 127 00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:42.079 would have to be on medication because I can't deal 128 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.040 with the pollen or whatever it is that you know 129 00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.879 gives you these kind of issues with allergies. But I now, 130 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:50.879 today was the day where I was like, all right, man, 131 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.720 you had a good run thirty six years as a 132 00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.639 as a citizen, as a resident in this area.

We must have a high like tolerance, 191 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.720 I don't know from other things that's destroyed my body. 192 00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:31.399 So when you came from Arizona to this area, did 193 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:34.759 you have any kind of like a was it whatever? 194 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:36.279 Like it didn't you didn't even really. I mean, I'm 195 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.240 sure you notice the difference in weather, but like you 196 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.759 didn't have any allergies because we I mean, I've always 197 00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.399 been told that where we live, if you have allergies, 198 00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:44.399 it's not a good place to be. 199 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.320 Yeah, I mean just because there's a lot of green, 200 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.440 there's a lot of wind and stuff like that. From 201 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:53.360 what I understand, that's how allergies work. I'm not I'm 202 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.360 not expert in that. But no, back in Arizona, there wasn't, No, 203 00:08:57.600 --> 00:08:59.960 wasn't a whole lot of allergy. No, because it's still 204 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:04.320 for me now, ye know, Like the air is different there, yeah, 205 00:09:04.360 --> 00:09:05.200 and much thinner. 206 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.559 And I've again what made me just fight this as 207 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.600 if like there's no way, there's no way, because I've 208 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.840 lived my whole life and it's never impacted me. So 209 00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:15.120 if I'm having these issues, it can't be allergies. It's 210 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.120 got to be something else. Maybe it's a sinus infection, 211 00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:20.720 maybe it's just you know, I got something up my nose. 212 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.840 But now again I'm throwing in the towel. 213 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:23.480 I am. 214 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.480 I'm waving the white flag as they say, defeat. I'm defeated, 215 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.200 and I got to start taking something. But there's nothing 216 00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.279 worse than taking medication that makes you feel like, you know, 217 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:36.720 a zombie or something. And I've always been I've always 218 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.799 I used to have. I used to I was going 219 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:40.799 through trying to find a medication for me years ago 220 00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.679 that that was needed, but I couldn't find for a 221 00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.799 while the right balance and what I was taking to 222 00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.399 try to figure out what would work it made me 223 00:09:47.440 --> 00:09:49.480 feel like I was on autopilot, and I hated that. 224 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.399 So since then, I've just kind of resisted trying different medicine. 225 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.799 Because I didn't want to feel that way. But maybe 226 00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.799 it's worth it, because I mean, my eyes feel like 227 00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.879 they weigh seventy five right now. They can't be normal, 228 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.519 right like, you know, even like the back of my 229 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.200 head like like like like but you know right behind 230 00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:12.960 my ears, that area, like it feels like there's something 231 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:16.639 built up back there. I don't know, I'm interesting, I'm interesting. Yeah, 232 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.120 maybe I needed to go get checked down. Maybe I 233 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:19.960 got something much deeper going on than allegis. 234 00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.519 I'm not sure. 235 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.799 But you know, as soon as as soon as I 236 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:26.039 sat down, and you know, I've been trying to fight 237 00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.159 through it, blowing my nose a bunch and I actually 238 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.480 put some eye drops in. Uh. But as soon as 239 00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:32.960 we started the show, I'm thinking, okay, you're not. I 240 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.159 want to get it out of the way because I 241 00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.399 may have to just you know. And and today was 242 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:38.840 a day where I was outside a lot more throughout 243 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.039 the day than I typically am. I'm usually not outside. 244 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.519 You went to THEO today, right, Yeah, good little zoo 245 00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:45.360 field trip and we had a great time. I mean, 246 00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.559 I wish I could blame it on the animals, but 247 00:10:47.559 --> 00:10:48.840 I don't think they had anything to do with it. 248 00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:50.360 But yeah, this was a day at the. 249 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:53.320 Zoo where I think every school in the state of 250 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.519 Kentucky took a class or multiple classes to the zoo. 251 00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:59.360 It was it was packed, but it was a good time. 252 00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.360 We we got to see a lot of the animals, 253 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.039 get to play on the playground. 254 00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.840 Do you have any favorite animals you like to see 255 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:06.320 at the zoo? 256 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:08.840 So, yeah, but it's not exciting like it's I was 257 00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.039 telling my daughter Maya and some of her classmates about 258 00:11:12.200 --> 00:11:14.320 my favorite animal. They were talking about going to see 259 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.120 the giraffe and going to see the lion. There was 260 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.000 a snow leopard. 261 00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:20.960 Oh yeah, there was. 262 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.559 Actually I feel like there was more big snakes than 263 00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.600 I typically see at the zoo. So you know, they've 264 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.960 got all these exotic animals and here I am telling 265 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:29.840 them I like the turtles, which I do. I like 266 00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.720 the I think turtles are fascinating animals. Yes, their shells 267 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:35.399 are really interesting to me. I mean they're beautiful, so 268 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:36.360 live forever. 269 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:36.840 Yeah. 270 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.559 The tortoise, I mean I thought it was a Big 271 00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:42.759 Rock when I first got to where they were set up, 272 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.480 and no, sure enough it was you know, a tortoise 273 00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:47.039 was probably six hundred years old. 274 00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:47.440 Or something like that. 275 00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.080 I mean that's an exaggeration, but they, as Austin mentioned, 276 00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.080 they do live a long time. 277 00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:53.879 So they also have the koalas. I think they just 278 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.720 got the Koala bears, like the baby koala cubs last year. 279 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.440 Last year. Recently they got some koala cubs that I 280 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.960 haven't yet to go see, but they I mean they're 281 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:04.279 a doward. 282 00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:05.039 You're a zoo guy. 283 00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:06.759 I haven't been to the zoo in a while, but 284 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:08.360 I do love when I get the chance to go. 285 00:12:08.519 --> 00:12:10.240 It's it's a great time. I love learning about the 286 00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.080 animals and their habitats and stuff like that. I know 287 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.279 that there's not there's a lot of people like that 288 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.039 look on it from the humane side that don't like zoos, 289 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.159 But I like to look at zoos for what they 290 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:21.799 do positive for all these species. 291 00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.519 Yeah, I will say this, I've I've never gone to 292 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.759 the zoo as a kid or really even as an adult, 293 00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.679 and thought about what you hear from some people when 294 00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:33.240 it comes to like what zoos are, and I'd prefer 295 00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.240 to keep it that way, because you know, it can 296 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:38.480 make you think like, Okay, you know, is this animal 297 00:12:38.679 --> 00:12:40.639 is it is it on medication to keep it from 298 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.720 being like, you know, reminded that it's not in its 299 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:47.240 natural habitat and it's basically behind glass for people to 300 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.399 just look at. I mean, it's there is an element 301 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.679 to it that's that's kind of sad. But I also 302 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:53.759 like to think that maybe some of the animals that 303 00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:56.480 are at the zoo, like they're there because they needed 304 00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:00.000 to be rescued or something, yeah, to reserve them. So, yeah, 305 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.519 the zoo was was was a good time, always good 306 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.759 and there were a lot of kids there. I'm not 307 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:08.320 sure I've ever been anywhere ever where there were that 308 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.000 many kids, all manygains. The zoo is a huge area, 309 00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:12.519 so it's. 310 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.440 Not like they were all in one in one spot together. 311 00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.879 The busy spot too, I feel like, could you go, yeah, 312 00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:20.320 that's like the only one that you can feed. 313 00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:22.480 Yeah, the giraffe, and they're so chill, dude. 314 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:27.039 The drafts are like like the potheads of animals. I 315 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.519 mean they i mean their heads constantly in the sky. 316 00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:32.080 They only eat green, and they're just so relaxed and 317 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:34.679 chill like they don't. They're not really scared of humans. 318 00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:38.679 Their pure existence is entertaining because their necks are you know, 319 00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:39.679 twenty feet long. 320 00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:40.279 Wild. 321 00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:44.000 Yeah, so that's always been my daughter's favorite, is the giraffe. 322 00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:45.039 That's pretty neat. 323 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.399 Drafts are drafts are are? You know? 324 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.759 They're a vibe and the I will say, I don't 325 00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.679 think I've ever gone to the zoo at any point 326 00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:56.080 and the lions not been just laid out, taken a 327 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:57.000 power now. 328 00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:58.799 Right, Yeah, like they're never active. 329 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:02.039 Yeah, they're not very active. In fact, the sloth today 330 00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:04.159 was more active than the lions, which I think is 331 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:05.720 which is telling you something. 332 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.919 Always been a fan of the cappy bara too. Yeah, 333 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.679 it's like the giant hamster looking thing like those exist 334 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:13.360 in the wild. That's pretty crazy. 335 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:16.960 Oh yeah, I mean, I I don't know why, but 336 00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:19.360 today on the field trip we were there was more 337 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:22.519 I guess, stopping at each spot rather than just doing 338 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.440 the When we would take the kids, we would just 339 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.320 you know, we didn't do a whole lot of stopping 340 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:29.679 to really spend you know, much time looking at one 341 00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:32.960 specific area unless it was an area that one of 342 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:34.919 the kids really liked, like the Girafts, which is usually 343 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.120 towards the end of the zoo. But you know, you 344 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:39.720 read about you know, and again it was an educational trip. 345 00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.960 It wasn't just to go see animals. We had her 346 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.320 teachers and whatnot, some of them you know, talking about 347 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.919 telling things. I mean, I was educated today about some 348 00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.360 of the animals there. So it was it was a 349 00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:52.320 good experience, but man, it kicked my ass because these 350 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.720 allergies have just been you know. 351 00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:56.000 Been all the walking to I'm sure, and. 352 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.639 Yeah, the walking wasn't wasn't as bad because we we 353 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.000 had to go you know, you couldn't really go fast 354 00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:04.200 if you wanted to, because one, there were so many 355 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:06.480 people there. But also when you have such a big 356 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.720 group of kids like you got to make sure you're 357 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.679 all together and you got to you know, stop every 358 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:11.399 now and then to make. 359 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:12.159 Sure you do it. We got it. 360 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.320 We had to do a pretty consistent roll call throughout 361 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:16.679 make sure we had all kids, which. 362 00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:18.039 I mean every three animals or so. 363 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:23.080 Yeah, hopefully every you hear, hopefully every class was able 364 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.840 to bring back all the kids that they took. But 365 00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.000 it would not shock me and I'm not sure anybody 366 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.720 could really be at fault if for a moment you 367 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:32.039 had to look around, Okay, where's this kid, where's that kid? 368 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.960 Because it's a uh, it's a free for all. But 369 00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.679 I'm telling you, this is just a this is a 370 00:15:36.720 --> 00:15:39.320 no brainer. But like I would have never thought about it. 371 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.200 But there's a reason why when they send you to 372 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.399 the zoo, they make they don't make, but they. 373 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:46.960 Encourage kids to wear. 374 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.840 Like everybody in Maya's class had the same shirt on, 375 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:53.279 which was very made it very easy for us to identify, Yeah, 376 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.559 our crew, who's a part of what class, exactly, what 377 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.679 grew exactly. 378 00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:00.320 So I remember having a birthday party years ago at 379 00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:03.600 Louisville Zoo, and I don't know if they still do 380 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.480 it the same now, but they set you up in 381 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.840 like there's like a sea through wall that's right next 382 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.759 to like the monkey habitat so like, and the monkeys 383 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:13.799 will come up to the glass and you can like 384 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:16.559 mimic them and mime stuff with the pantomime stuff with 385 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:18.840 them and everything like that. It's one of my more 386 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.159 memorable parties. But this is probably when I was like 387 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:21.919 five or six. 388 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.000 Dude, I never had any we never had I never 389 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.279 had a party at the zoo, and I never had 390 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.840 any cool field trips like that. Maybe I just don't remember, 391 00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.039 but like we we went. I mean, field trips were 392 00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:33.960 always fun because you got to get out of class, 393 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:35.360 like you got to go do something. We went to 394 00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:37.320 a lot of plays. I guess that was kind of fun. 395 00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.720 We okay, I never went to a place. 396 00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.559 We took some some trips to the tractors, theaters, saw 397 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.519 some cool plays. We went to the Science Center a lot, 398 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.080 which that was That was fine. But the zoo and 399 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.000 when did it come? Yeah, we talked about the other day, 400 00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.039 like there was a Bats game where they started at 401 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:54.960
