You know. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.039 What I'm imagining is like how tragic it would be. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.200 Let's say you're on the job in your dinosaur suit 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.799 and all of a sudden nuclear war strikes. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.880 Okay, dude, I was talking about this ship. 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.120 You know, you don't about to say, and everyone dies 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.280 except you because you were except me by by the 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:19.040 magical power of the dinosaur costume.

M hmm. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:04.560 And did you really easy to find dinosaurs. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.800 Or did you know anything about dinosaurs before you started 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.080 this job or you have gotten into them as a result. 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:13.840 Dude, I had. 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:17.360 Known not a single thing about dinosaurs, but now I'm like, 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:20.160 it's like all the information they feed you, like this 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:24.160 actual information is like supposed to be intelligent shows for 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.600 like young kids, so it like talks about the scientific methods, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.720 so you learn about like different bones and fossils and 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.040 names of dinosaurs and groups of dinosaurs. Family, you know 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:39.160 what I mean. M But I knew nothing, and I 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.120 know too much about dinosaurs? 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.680 What can you hit? Can you hit us with like 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:51.160 your best dinosaur fact that you would throw out? 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:51.680 Fact? 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.400 Let's see, let's see, let's see. 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.760 Okay, So that the t rex's. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.320 Arms, right, most people think that they were like like 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:02.120 really small and useless, right, because they're so small, you 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:04.520 know what I mean. But if you look at it 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.880 in proportion to like everybody thinks they're so small, But 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.120 if you look at it into proportion of the whole thing, right, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:13.440 those arms are probably the length of someone who's six 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.360 feet tall, So they would actually be used for like 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:19.760 you know, getting down and like tearing open their prey. 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:22.520 But they also could lift up to a thousand pounds 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.080 just each little arm, you know what I mean. 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.280 That's awesome. That would actually be if you showed up 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:34.280 to the date in the costume and you spit that fact. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.400 You're voice modulator on or off? 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:37.760 Though? 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:44.319 Ooh on on yes, spicy do can. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.240 You do you like speak to the kids or it's 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.880 just in sounds? 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.679 No, so this is uh, it's just me making dinosaur 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.720 sounds because they tried to make it as realistic as possible, 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.920 you know, so it's an accurate representation of a juvenile 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:06.079 t rex is what they they say. So, I don't know, 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.840 it looks really sick. I mean some kids are terrified 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.199 of it.

So the next day I had like 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:49.640 school or something, and I stayed home, right, and I 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.080 searched the whole house and I found all this stuff, 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:55.800 like five thousand dollars checks like from like twenty twelve. 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.080 It's like, what the fuck? 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.320 So that night I started moving stuff into my bedroom 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.280 like secretly, because I didn't own a lot of stuff, 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.840 and everything I owned could fit in my room. So 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.320 I was like, Okay, here's what I'm gonna do. I'm 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.280 gonna move all my stuff in here and then I'm 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.560 just gonna close the door when I go to school, right, 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.480 And I did that, and then I moved out in 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.400 the morning before she got up, but she like woke 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:24.280 up and started tripping, and she like was like. 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:25.840 I'm gonna call the cops on you. And I was like, 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:26.600 I'll call the cops. 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.560 So I called the cops, and I was like, can 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:33.359 this is me moving out of my house?

I won't jump into it, 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.119 but performing you know, make my mom hayh. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:46.280 Blah blah blah. 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.640 And you know, she never let me speak to any 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:51.879 of my family. Like I knew I had family, and 0:17:51.920 --> 0:17:54.560 it tried to reach out, like through postcard and stuff, 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:59.280 but she never let it happen. So years go by, 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.480 you know, and and I get a message from my sister. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:06.120 Right She's like, Hey, this might be weird, but I'm. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.120 Your sister, and I'm like, what the hell? 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:11.000 So she's my half sister, right, I was never allowed 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.919 to speak to my family.
