Oh yeah, yeah yeah. So last week Thursday and Friday

what do they call you kool Aid? One? Oh, oh,
it's a long story. I was a lifeguard and I
went to a local store, went got to some shoes.
There's some rebots into the bottom of it had kool Aid.
(04:59):
Now I didn't know kool Aid worked along with Rebox.
I came to work and everyone wear on their favorite
shoes called Jordan's. So I came to lifeguard department and

Oh, you gotta sign up the video behaviorist? Uh with
the animals? Between here or we teach her it's operating
addition and positive reinforcement. It's just doing something good and
you get something to return. It's basic human and child psychology.
So it's the easiest thing to learn. But it's still
