Speaker 1: Do AND i, DO i admit.

79
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: IT i think it's, awkward the decision Of, Okay cody.

80
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: In Land in's, Case Producer land's, case or any. Pet all,

81
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: right this is, enough been through enough that no part

82
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: of that can be. EASY i have not had to do.

83
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: It no part of it can be easy at. All

84
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: that's gotta be a rough. Thing SO I i used

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: to BE i used to be much harder on.

86
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: This oh, ridiculous it's not the. Same, no, no, no,

87
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: no there's real. CONNECTION i DON'T i don't know if

88
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: that's something.

89
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: That came with age or just listening to people about The.

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah AND i think that the point is.

91
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: That there's two things taking place. HERE i don't think

92
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: we should deny that people have these. CONNECTIONS i think

93
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 2: we should recognize when the connection is maybe too.

94
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: MUCH i think it's imperative that, people.

95
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: You, know they have these connections to their, animals and

96
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 2: it's truly, loving, unquestionably unquestionably AM i somehow off base

97
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: THAT i think that that love is different than the

98
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: love between. PEOPLE i have not been able to GET

99
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: i don't get past. That And i've seen people who are, like,

100
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: no it's just the, same AND i keep, saying there's.

101
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:04,799
Speaker 1: No, way it's the, same zero possible. WAY i actually

102
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: think that that's.

103
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: Dangerous can't something exist at a different, level still?

104
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Personal still tear? FILLED i. DON'T i don't deny that.

105
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: TEAR i ADMIT i used to look at the tears

106
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: and be, like what in the world are you? DOING

107
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 1: i don't do that. Anymore maybe it's, age maybe it's.

108
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: Learning maybe IT'S i don't, know a recognition of, mortality

109
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: which is a whole another thing right. THERE i so

110
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: so Uh first, things, First Producer landon have is the

111
