• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: I mean I think it's the uh, the most old
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: fashioned version of our business.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: I'd say dogs have been in movies since the beginning.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: Right right?
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, so I'd have to say it's been I've
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: been working for fifty years.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I'm seventy one.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Congratulations.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: What about you, Nijel?
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Hello, Yes, I've been working with snakes now for about
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: thirty years. I've started right out of college, found a
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: couple snakes and said what if I put these in movies?
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: And now with all the franchises, it's quite a lucrative business.
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: Per se.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Wow, I don't mean to speak out of turn y'all,
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: but when he talks, I get so sleepy. Nigel, I
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: get so tired.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: It's so crazy, it really crazy. It makes me feel
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: like he's probably really good at miking. Animals go right
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to sleep, which is really hot to do.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: I bet you're right.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I bet you're ride does and Nigel, I will say,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: some of my birds are right outside and they are chirping.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: They're simply loving your voice.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Well, thank you all. I will take all of these
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: as compliments.
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: I also say, in Patty's defense, I'm not used to
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: sitting down for more than a couple of minutes at
• 3:33
  Speaker 7: a time.
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: Okay, Marissa, Yeah, you know it's true. Yeah, how many?
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: I got a question, Marissa. We have our little girl's
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: corner over here. Question for you, honey, how many dogs
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: have you had on Alicia once? Because I'm ficturing you
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: on set, I don't know about y'all, but with I
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: don't know fifteen.
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: Oh sure, Well that was me in the old days
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: when I would do non union work. And that's what
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: I'll say is our business is different when we're in
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: the union. And I'll say this is a privileged group
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: of people who get to be protected, because it's all
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: about protection in our business.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, that's a really important thing for
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: me to talk about protection. I will say that all
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: my animals are union eligible currently, but.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: They are not. They are not in the union. They
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: are all eligible. A little couple of sales that are eligible.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Gott a couple one kill a while that's eligible as well.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Well, well, it's expensive, I understand.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, once they book a little bit more,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: we can maybly get him in the union. But they
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: are not technically booking enough because once you know, you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: get those dues, it is really expensive and just quite frankly,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: a lot of my animals that underwater wonders, a lot
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: of them are not They are not currently making enough
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: money to sustain in union membership.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, it is so and I will say it is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: so worth it because you know, all of my birds
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in the Birds Actors Union, they are so covered. The
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: bag health insurance is so good.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Do you ever have hearty a sh arc or something?
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Is that how it works?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That is a really crazy question. Yes, so there is
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a it's not quite a shock, but there was. There
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: was actually a clownfish that was feaching in a movie
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: called The mag and I booked love that.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Do you remember they make?
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, of course I love that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: The Meg with Jyson scythem. I'll try and him too.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I was just kidding, but I was just kidding.
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, an answer your question, Patty. I only do one
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: dog at a time now, but back in my twenties
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: I was I would.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I would say thirty five.
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: Wow. Well, I you know, while we were talking about
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: the the uh you know, the water creatures and all,
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: I was wondering, do you know how to swim? You know?
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: I have landed on the job. I have.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Certainly the first few years were really difficult for me
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: because when you're shutting at an animal and underwater, they
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: can't hear you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: That is a little thing that I figured out.
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: Oh okay, I wouldn't even know how to shout underwater.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, well I used to use those big they
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: call them voo zalas from from South Africa. In those
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: in those call vovo zalas. They're a long tunnel of.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: Zala okay, like okay, like the flower.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: No, it's like a long plastic tunnel that just shout
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: noises into.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: And do you find that the animals are responsive?
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: To that.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, generally, you know, there's only so many things any
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: underwater Christian can do swim, stop, and breathe. So usually
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: if I need to do one of those things, they're
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: usually going to If I needed to do one of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: those things, they're usually going to eventually do.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: It's all I'm gonna say.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: It's true. The ratio of the things that animals can
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: do is typically pretty good because you have a several
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: handfuls of things that they want to do already. I mean,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I would imagine those dogs they simply like to roll
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: over and sit and walk. Is that the case?
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: Sure?
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: But I'll say not to just throw a right back
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: at you, But Marilyn, I just have been I've always
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: wanted to talk to you because you're the only one
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: I know that works with animals and you can get
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: them to say things right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You can you deal with dialogue sometimes, right.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's true. I like to say that my animals are
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the only ones who have lines, because it's the truth.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: I would say that it's.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Very I have a lot of respect for you. To Marylyn,
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: I'm trying not to be weird about it, to be
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: you're one of over here with Marissa, But I am
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: absolutely starstrick. I mean I can't even think of all
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: those I mean, guys, come on, all the iconic lines.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: That are absolutely.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: It's pretty pretty wild. I mean the one, the one
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: in the one in taxi, the taxi and along game Polly, Oh.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: My, yes they do. I will say my birds because
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I'm a bit of an introvert. My birds sort of
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: talk for me. You know how sometimes in a couple
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: there's a talker and there's a listener. I'd say I'm
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the listener, and my forty five birds they're the talkers,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and we do really well at dinner parties.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: I have a weird question for all.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I look a lot to ask people questions when I'm
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: with other wranglers, questions that maybe other people couldn't answer.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: What's the most difficult thing you've ever had to train
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: an animal to do?
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Lord, oh gosh, I'm sure a lot goes down on
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the farm over there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean there's something that that I don't feel
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: good about. But one time I had to train a
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: cow to milk another cow?
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Is that right?
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Mortally?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: How does that work?
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: Yes, mortally, how does that work? More?
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Nigel, you seem interested in doing that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I thought Nigea was asleep.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: I was sorry, ye, and we're not used to sitting
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: down as people anyway.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Now, yeah, well, Nigel and Marissa and everyone. To answer
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: the question, it was, I'll be it was. It was
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: young young in my career.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I was young.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: I was trying to get that credit and it was
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: for a local farm commercial. The owner was a bit
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: of a he's a bit out of his head. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: I found out that later the footage was used in
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: maybe some kind of personal way. I'm not quite sure
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: what it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: Was for, but that personal way.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, a girl doesn't like to assume, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: I would guess maybe for.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: For jacking off purposes projacking it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: Oh Donking, Oh, bless me, bless my heart, bless my soul.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm talking, I get a little naughty me too.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: I mean, my job is constantly getting these fuckers off
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: each other.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: But I understand I've I too, have fallen vulnerable to
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: you know, being a young person in the industry. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: was approached for a student film where I had to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: get one of my macaws to spit up into Owen
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Wilson's mouth. Now, morally, we don't like to do that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: because it tricks the birds into thinking that the actor
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is its child. And so that bird walked around thinking
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that Owen Wilson was its daughter. And I'd never do
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: that now, Yeah, I never do it now.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: I feel you on that. Guys. You know, we've all
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: we've had our highs and we've had our lows, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: it's you know, we're there for the animal, and so
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: it's hard sometimes when we have these stories where our
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: animals are just put in the line of fire. You know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: I don't even want to go there, to be honest,
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: I don't want to go there. Oh no, I don't want.
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: To go there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: In nineteen ninety two, I was on a movie set
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: and the director asked for one of my anaconda's to
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: swallow the actor who plays Han Solo Hole and then
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: spit him out.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Is that Harrison Ford?
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Who?
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Harrison Ford? The person?
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: So I had to get to one of my anaconda's
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: to do this, and it was really a tough, tough situation.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: I'm so sorry. Does anyone have some extra coffee because
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I just keep getting so sleepy every.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Time caffeine peels. I give him my seals. Do you
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: want something?
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: That would be actually wonderful.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Okay, oh, this is fun.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: I'm like one of your.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: Little fit Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, yea, well I
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: did pretty good.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Call me seal stars. You're getting a fish to.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: The tables certainly have turned, haven't they. Normally we're the
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: ones putting the food in the mouth, but now it's
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the other way around.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Marilyn, you are really good at sciting. I'll say the.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: Hardest thing for me.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: What I do specifically, I want to be clear, is
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: I because there's tons of dog animal handlers in the business.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: What I do is specifically, I get dogs to run.
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: I can get him to move real fast for lots
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: of yogurt commercials.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: That was your dog, that was That was Jamie Lake
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: Hurtis in the Activita.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's just going in that field.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: As animal wrangler to animal wrangler. I saw that. You know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: sometimes you're like, leave the leave the work alone.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: It's not now.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: I said, that dog was moving and grooving. And whoever
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: was an animal wrangler on that knows what she's doing.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, thank you.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Patty.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: I'll say, I'm telling you you don't know a lot.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: You don't notice it all the time, but when you
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: got a dog having to sprint across camera, that takes
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: a specific type of animal wrangling.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: And now you said that you do running, your dogs
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: do running? Do they sit and stay as well? Or
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: do they call someone else for that?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: They call other people for that.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: I am strictly like it's like a stunt guy, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: for running dogs. So the hardest thing that's ever happened
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: to me is that one of my dogs was taking
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: a shit as he was running and I had to
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: pick up the pace because when you're because I worked
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: really well with the DP, it's me and the DP
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: craft in this shot, and it's figuring out this run
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: in this tempo and the dolly and the move and
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: all of that. And when they got a little something
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: going on like this one dog of mine, Patty popone,
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: she was she was trying to take a shit and
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: she kept running and I had to pull her ass
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: out of there.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: So that was a hard thing I've already not do.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: I'll say the most difficult thing for me.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I was in an Alphons or Quirron film and he
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: asked if I could make a stingray cry on cue. No,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: it was really hard because stingrays in general do not cry,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: not because they can't, but because they won't. There's a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: cultural thing in stingrays where they you know, crying is
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: a sign of weakness for him.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: So who told you that that track?
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: I told I've seen it with my own eyes.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: But how would you know.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I've spent a lot of time underwater. So I first
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: learned all about animals and learning about water creatures. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: first learned because my father was.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: He ran a coral reef. He was the was, He
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: was a private coral reef. He was an owner.
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: You're the Great Barrier. You're, of course, you're the Great Barrier, Barrier,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: the Great Barriers, Great Barrier Junior.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Yes, my father was David Great Barrier, the.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Only human to run a coral reef.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: He was the owner of the coral reef.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: It was a private reef, and we used to go
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: down there all the time, all the time, and we.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Used to watch all the animals.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And I used to watch the sting rays go around
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: each other, and they used to pop up the chest
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: and they saw them cry, and then one of them
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: would cry, and all of them would run away, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: and they talked to some of the eels, and the
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: eels would come and eat the sting ray.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: It's a really scary thing.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: Wow, So you do really know it. For a while
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: I thought you were just making shit up. But that
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: sounds like you really don't know.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: This is all stuff I've learned over years and years
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: and years of professional work.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I got it. I got kind of a non secretary question.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: But were you just a big old perdl when you
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: watch Octopus Teacher?
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Were you just?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I was an absolute rick and I'll tell you what
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I call the rando se i I could get into
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: work with me.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: Turns out he is. He's freelance and he doesn't need
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: any help. I was an absolute record. I did try
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: to recruit him, and people said do not.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: The year was nineteen ninety seven. Christ I was on
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: the set of a movie called Shanghai Nights. One of
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: the actors, though, the one who speaks Chinese, fell into
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: a pit and there was a snake down there, and
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I told him to swatch out. So my question is,
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: does anybody else deal with pits? Any other animals going
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: with pits? I am I the only type of person
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: that has to deal with a hundred of my own
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: animals in one type of hole, a pit.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: On I think one of my birds just fell asleep,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: and if they sleep for too long, they die. Hold on,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry about that.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: It's amazing to see a woman just juggling it all.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Who else brought animals? By the way, did anyone else
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: bring animals to this recording?
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: Well? I did ride my horse here. I rode it
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: all the way from Northern California.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: To Culver City.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: To Culver City. Yeah, and let me tell you, Oh,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: it's hard to find a hotel that will let me
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: have my dog. Well, trap on in a hotel of
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: late to have a horse.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: I hear that all of us have had some crazy
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: travel experience.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: With the n Yeah, I'll put a bluga oil in
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: a bathtub.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I took a wonderful road trip with several parrots and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: they sort of fluttered around in the back of my
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: sedan and I would stop to pull over to get
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: for gas, and I'd lose one of them at every
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: gas station. I laughed so hard because I'd come and
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I showed up to San Francisco with only three birds,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and they said they're supposed to be ten, and I said,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I know, but I had to fill up my car.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: This I heard about this because I writt an article
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: about this. There was an article in a newspaper in
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Temecula about a bunch of birds that you kept screaming
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: your name and phone number.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I did read this in a newspaper into me.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: That's rights an.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Amazing way to keep check your animals. Make them say
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: your contact information.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: They're very well trained. And I will say all of
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: those birds were returned to me because they simply are
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: trained to repeat the phone number until.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: They get where they have to go.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: They're very repetitive. I will say, you know, earlier we
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: were talking about difficult experiences. I once sent some of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: my birds to a prison for a little outreach program,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and they spent some time with the prisoners there.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: And what.
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: It was the outreach for the birds of the prisoners.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I like to think a little of both.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: What was it set out to be?
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Artypically, so, the idea is you send a few birds
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: to a few convicted murderers, and eventually one of them
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: saves the other. Ideally it's the murderer, but sometimes the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: bird learns a few things. And I will say, a
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: couple of my birds learned the phrase kill, bitch, kill,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and then and then they had to go work on
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a Disney film Moments, and they could not remember their lines.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: They could not remember Pollywanna Cracker. All they wanted to
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: say was kill, bitch, kill, And I lost that job.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Sounds like the dark side of speaking animals.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: It is like the dark side of speaking animals.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Kill.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: I wanted to get a jiuaa to Atlanta and I
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: couldn't get a flight in time. This is what I
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: was working on Union and I mean and it was
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: a running job. The chiua had to run tampon commercial
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: so I just had the chiuaa run with me.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: It was Atlanta.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: We did it on foot, so.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: You ran as well alongside the dog.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh my goodness, that's impressive. You know, we go
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: through a lot of what our animals go through. If
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: they're sad on set, we are sad. If we're happy,
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: they're happy. It's a very intuitive kind of relationship.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: And for sure we take lunch at the same time.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, sometimes I eat the same things.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I actually don't do dairy. I actually sometimes I eat
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: the grass. I try to understand what it feels like
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: for them, and back to the traveling. I did try
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: to sneak a chicken and my carry on, and she
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: did what she was supposed to do. She laid about
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: fifteen eggs flight to Phoenix. When I opened it up,
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: there were just eggs galore. And she did not make it.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: She didn't make it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, I'm so sorry. Yeah, I'm so sorry.
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: Two thousand and four. Oh, I was working at a
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: movie and three people were bitten by a coastal typeon
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: and passed away.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: I think my heart stopped beating for a moment. Nigel,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: would you like some coffee?
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: I would?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, can we get Nigel some coffee? Thank you?
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: I was delivered to me by a peacock.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: That peacock is trained to get coffee. The others are
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: trained to get tea. I like you, Nigel, Nigel, stop, Nigel.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Nichel stup.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: Oh no, birds, birds, birds.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, Nigel. That almost never happens. I'd like
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: to ask a question from the fish bowl. Let's see
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: what's in here.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I actually prefer if you call it a glass bowl,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: because fish bowl is a little bit of a defensive
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: term for me.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Oh is it. I'm learning a lot about I want
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: to know you know. What I mean is that I
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: want to know how I can be better for you
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: guys in whatever world that you're in, you know, like yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: like I don't know how you guys feel, but I'm
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I really I get really upset when I see animals
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: that are cgad and things because I just think, well, what,
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: you know, where's where's our industry going? Where our job going?
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: I think you're bringing up a topic that we should
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: talk about, and that is the Lion King, and we're
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: all snubbed.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and let's just talk about it.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Let's have a conversation, Let's have a dialog.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: Because I had a couple of reporters come to my
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: house and say that they Hollywood had isolated and none
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: of us were speaking on the record. And I think
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: that was just due to all of ourt we were
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: all going through something.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Now, not too divert a little bit, but are there
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: would there ever be a dog in the Lion King?
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Good point, But I'll say, but I guess you never know, right,
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: you never know. Well, I hate to break NDA's but
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: a lot of animals who they can't get to run fast,
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: they get a dog and they dress it up.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I'll beg for Lion King.
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: I think we get hired for to have one of
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: my Aussies dressed up like a like a like a hyena.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Right, of course it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Wasn't is cut and dry. You know, they didn't tell
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: everyone was gonna be cgi. I had a trout that
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: was on a veil for three months and it was
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: really hard for the trout. You know, he's waiting around
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: for the answer three months in and out.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: You know, it's almost like you're an agent to them
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: at some points.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Sometimes, you know, we share each other's successes and failures.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: It's really difficult, and you are kind of bookers for
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: the for the job. You know, you're gotta you're gotta
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: represent them because they're doing the work. Now.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I would imagine there are no fish agents, so you
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: seem like sort of a one man band of sorts.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: If I don't do it, nobody will nobody.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I work hands on with the agents because these dogs,
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: these fucking bitches, they all have representation.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Because the union, right, they're all you know, all mine
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: are obviously eligible, but they cannot they cannot get representation
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: without being union.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: And then you know, what are we gonna do? They're
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: just not ready.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: That's really tough. I have heard green?
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Did you hear that dark?
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: The coffee is working? It's so cold. Is anybody here
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: else shedding skin?
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: No, it's probably because you're sitting down for too long.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Dannibil will move around.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Okay, run across the room.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Run, run freak run what it's not running?
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: Mind trying, I'm trying.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: You are rising your arms and legs at all.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, dear Nigel, what is going on? Oh my god?
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Did you cut that little of it into your tongue?
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: Yes, it was a procedure I had done in two
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: thousand and seven on this on the set of Snakes
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: on a plane. Very stressful time for me. One thousand
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: and ten snakes I had to take care of, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: I walked away with one thy and twelve. No idea
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: where the other two came from.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll say, Nigel, I did it was It was
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: beautiful work.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: Beautiful work, that Nogel.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I just looked in the trash. Can I
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: see a bunch of rappers for the baby feet? Have
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: you ladies ever used that? It's where your your feet,
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: you know, they make the baby soft, it makes you
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: shed your skin. But there's about one hundred rappers in
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: the trash. Yeah, I can't help, but wonder did you
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: use these? Nigel? Did you use these? Because you are
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: peeling like you're peeling like an onion at my grandmama's barbecue.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I did. I did use them. It's time
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: for me getting closer to becoming the dream.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, Nigel, you don't look well.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: Marilyn. You had a question, didn't you? A little earlier
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: you had a little question you were going to ask
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: I pulled it out of the glass bowl.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Thank you for learning, and thank you for showing growth.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Thank you for educating me, of course anytime.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: So I pulled this question out of the glass bowl.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: And I think it's very interesting. What was your favorite
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: animal you've ever worked with?
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: This is a hard one, isn't it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: This is always a hard one.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Was really tough.
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: Oh my god, my god, Mike, I will say there
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: was a little dove that I used to work with
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: named Cheeky, and Cheeky was the best in the business,
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: a real professional.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: She would fly out of the hat when she was
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: supposed to. She would be released, she would come back
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: when she was supposed to. But of course, as animal trainers,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you don't own the animal. And her owner was a
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: gentleman named Rick Wright. And one day Rick Wright decided
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: I'd like to become an amateur magician, and so he
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: took Cheeky away from me, and he went to Vegas
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: showed up to open mic magician competitions to work with Cheeky,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: and Cheeky was no longer in the business. And it
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: broke my heart because she was such a sweety little bird.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: She was such a sweety little bird.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: It's there there.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Don't be sorry. We all get it. We all get it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I apologize, I know.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But tell me about all your favorite animals.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Well, I had this pot belly pig. He really taught
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: me everything it means to be a woman.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: It's absolutely beautiful. What was the billy's pig's name?
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: Gary? And yeah, Gary. Just when Gary walked in the room,
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: she really took control of the room. And Gary could
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: be around fifteen male pigs, but she really held her own,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you moved like a pop belly pig too.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Oh thank you, I could tell thank you so much,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: lead by example for you.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank you your nose too, It's just what you're
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: talking about I do.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: And you know, I don't know if you y'all believe this,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: but sometimes the ones that leave us, they leave us
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: little signs throughout life, right, guys. And so I tell you,
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: every time I go to a restaurant to look on
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: the mini they have bacon, I go Gary, she's staying
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: hi to you.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: A lot of times.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: It's a very cool and breakfast item.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Well, just shows how much Gary was there.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Yes, thank you morning.
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: I'd love to hear everyone else. Everyone else is absolutely
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: it's okay. He's under the table.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, I thought it was yeah, under your
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: feet and that's a little.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Something on my feet?
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: What I think?
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Nigel slipped me a note. Let me just.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: It just says, do you like my notes?
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about other people's answers.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I had a river order that challenged me every single day.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: What a river order? Order and order? A river order
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and or aura and order, you know those little little
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: rat kind of things in order, real order. God, order
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: really challenged me every single day.
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Oh those are the ones there, rare.
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Her name was Veronica Venezuela, and she was absolutely gorgeous.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: She was so pretty and we had a really tumultuous relationship,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: and the only way I could get it to do
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: things is if I humiliated myself in front of everyone else.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: It was a really disgusting why I had to strip naked,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I had to sing songs by female artists, really really embarrassing, humiliating.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: Oh, Veronica sounds very demanding.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: She was a real challenge, but she was absolutely the
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: most talented order that I've ever worked with. She's actually
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the only animal I've ever trained that has gone union.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Since then, I haven't seen her, but I do know
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: she is on Riverdale.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Oh no, it's that one. What she's doing on Riverdale?
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: What a background work right now? But I think she's
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: hoping to I think she opened her work her way up.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: It's season four. They're at the Aquarium Diner.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, the Aquarium Dinna, and she is in the background.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: And I do believe she had a line or a movement.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: You know, as we know the animals are, they don't
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: necessarily have lines, but all of their movements are technically lines.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: So she had a lot of movements.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Well speak for yourself.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Well, I had a great day named Princess Diana, and
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: she ran so fucking fast.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something she had.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: I got a question about that, just real quick. So
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: was this? When was this dog?
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Was this? She was named after the living Diana.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, got it.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: So at the time that Princess Diana was alive, Princess
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Diana the dog was also alive. Yeah that's beautiful.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: And you want to hear some fucking crazy shit. They
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: died on the same fucking day. Oh my no, no, yeah,
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: but I'll tell you I love that dog more than
• 33:04
  Speaker 7: my fucking family. She ran so fast, and uh, all
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: I have to say is we loved each other a lot.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: And one day she ran and I couldn't catch her,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: and she was gone.
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: Oh I'm so so sorry, so hard.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: And it was one of those teamsters.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, the hittricking teamsters.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: A motherfucking teamster.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Hit it with a car.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Hit it with a car.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: They're going way too fast out there, guys, when they're
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: on set. There's people running around, there's people in These.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: Non union teamsters might as well call them the devil
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: on your back.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, the amount of teamsters that have tried to wash
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: their diddy socks in my pools.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Where the animals are absolutely disgusting. They're the devils on
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: my back.
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: I had to snake cold ne GUINEI.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: It was seen a movie from the Harry Potter movie.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: I think that's what that was called. It was a
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: great snake and I loved it. And unfortunately in the
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: scene where the one child chops the head off of
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: the snake, they shot it for real.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: And I'm sorry, is there any chance you could sit
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: back up at the table, Nogule, You're kind of all
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: curled up there.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: Right out there. Okay, I like it down here.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: It's just crazy to get us all in one room.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: We all have such weird.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Social behaviors, absolute freaks.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: Absolutely did everybody here, because that's the thing that.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: They haven't made a number breaking number.
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: And that's the thing in Hollywood is that these animal wranglers,
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: we fucked so hard you can't catch us.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: I didn't know if we were gonna say it out loud,
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: but I mean, I have seen you guys at the parties.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: I just haven't seen you in this way where we
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: actually talk about our work.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: That is such a stereotype because you know, and it's
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: a stereotype. That is a stereotype for a reason, because
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: it is true when we all meet each other at
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: the Animal Wrangler Hollywood Orgies. We talk about all this stuff,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: but we never talk about it so cleanly. And I'm
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: really applauding all of us for restraining ourselves today.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: I am absolutely so horny right now.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: The river in my panties right now, I know my
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: nipples could cut glass. Well, let's table this for a moment,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: because I do still think we have about fifteen to
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes left. Would anyone like to pull a question
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: from the fish bowl? Oh the glass bowl?
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna I wasn't gonna correct you again. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: was just gonna hold it against you for the rest
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: of your life. So I want to thank you for
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: doing that. I will question this is a really great one.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: What do your family? What does your family think of
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: your job as an animal wrangler and how it has
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: been an animal wrangler affected your relationship with your family.
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: I'll say, my family doesn't buy it, and it's awfully
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: I don't mean to get to vulnerable here, but it's
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: awfully humiliating to have a family that thinks you can't
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: make a living off of just dogs.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Running on camera. They just don't buy it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: They call bullshit.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Every day come home from work. They think it's fake.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: But they've seen your house, right, I mean they've seen
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: they've seen your Malibu mansion.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I make.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: A lot of money, but they think I'm doing other things.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: They think I'm a liar.
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: That is so tragic.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: You know what, Yeah, yead, I had it bad because
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: I'm a Bush daughter and I'm not one of the
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: fire and daughters the Bush.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: A Bush daughter i am.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: I'm a daughter of George W. Bush Laura Bush. Yes,
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: i am.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: No way, I.
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: Know, did they that's my dirty little secret. I'm a
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Bush daughter.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: Ugh.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: Your sister is Jenna Bush Haigateth, Yes.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: That's the one. Yes.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Wow? And what did they prefer that you be with
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: your life?
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: I mean they really wanted me to get into politics,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: and I said, I have absolutely no experience. I wouldn't
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: know what I'm doing. And they said, well, you know,
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: that'll be fine. We could figure something out. And I thought, well,
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: I'm not really qualified to do that though. And then
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: that's when I was on our farm and I met
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: the pop belly pig Gary and that kind of changed
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: horse for me. So, you know, my my dad has
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: done a painting or two some of my some of
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: my farm animals. And that's kind of all I can
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: ask for right now. You know, that's that's where we're
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: at today. As I say, you know, that's where we're
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: at today. We're in a somewhat of a good place.
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: And you know what, I don't know. I hope does
• 38:21
  Speaker 5: anyone have a happy story. I mean, Marissa and I
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: went first over here like a like a couple of
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: but sob stories.
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: But it's an easy business to be neglected from your family.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: For no I will say I was sort of a
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: cupboard child. I was locked in a cupboard for many years.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: But I did have a friend in there I had.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: Is that why you're so tiny?
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I'm very small. You are very tiny, very small.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: You're going to be like three foot eight of three
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: foot know, and I'm been trying to alleyball it all
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: the day.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I am I have don't don't short sell me. I
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: am three foot ten and a half.
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: But you're also very small. You know how people say
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: she's made of bird bine. Anybody that phraser that country think, well,
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: I've actually it looks kind of like you're made of
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: bird bones. You are very time.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, they didn't approve of me, and so they
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: locked me in the cupboard and I wasn't there. I
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: was their little secret, you know. But in a way
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the bird raised me because the bird had its little bones.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: And I think, you know, the body listens to the mind,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and I think my body started to listen to the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: bird body. And I will say, sometimes I do spit
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: up bile.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's definitely true. I've been lactating ever since I started,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: you know, using my cows. And do you really can
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: you explain that, No, I'm not pregnant. I'm having a baby.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: I hear you. Your animals kind of work through your
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: own body set.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I have a thick lay of mucus all of my
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: body all the time, I thought, so you can see
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: it in the light.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: And these fluorescents are really bad at showing that.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I want to say about my family, we actually are
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: a happy story, you know, me and my husband and
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: my daughter. We all run underwater winders together. My daughter
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: gil is absolutely gorgeous and she loves training the little salamanders.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: We're having a working on salamander's right now.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, hi cute. I love that business.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: You guys own the reef.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Now we own the reef. We we It was in
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: doowt to us by my father when he passed away.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Oh sure, Lord rest his soul. And it's a real shame.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: And the you know, the Australian government said hey, we'd
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: love to have that reef, and I said, yeah, so
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: what a fucking eye And I kept it.
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: Good for you, so good for you family, Your name's everything.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: What are you going to do with the reef?
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking of making it some sort of water pack
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: where you can kind of run around in it. You know.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I think the biggest problem with the reef is that
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: you can't stand in it right now. So we're going
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: to put a lot of standing ground so you can
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: kind of stand around and see the animals. Because what
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: I love is getting closer to him.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I think everyone if they had an eye to eye
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: with a dolphin, they would change the way they live
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: their lives.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: That's kind of what I say.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: You know, we've all had probably an experience with an
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: animal that said, oh this is this is the way
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: to live my life.
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Right So you're raising awareness about the Great Barrier Reef
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: being destroyed by a sort of essentially destroying it.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Absolutely was, and get close to it, take a look
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: at it. See what you're doing to the earth.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Well, Nigel, you have a family.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: At one point, yes, I was thrown into a pit
• 41:25
  Speaker 6: of snakes by the age of two mm. I looked
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: into the face of a black adder, a black on
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: a black add a dd R, and it looked at
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: me and I said mother, and it said yes.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, guys, is getting a little freaky, y'all. It's getting
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: a little freaky, y'all.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I've got a question for Nigel. When's there. What's the
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: happiest you've ever been?
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: That's a good one, that's great.

  Speaker 6: I went to Lego Land last summer. That was very nice.
• 42:04
  Speaker 6: Can't you go with just me and my pet anaconda.
• 42:09
  Speaker 6: His name was Dmitric. He We put him in a
• 42:14
  Speaker 6: big coat and he kind of propped himself up for
• 42:18
  Speaker 6: most of the time there, so we got away with it.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: I'm really happy that that happened for you.
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you, oh, thank you.
• 42:32
