Speaker 2 (02:11):
There's well, you would think so, but this might be it.

on it. He hit his hand on the head, but
he said, so slippery, couldn't pull him out. I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
That's a great old joke because you know you were
connected in that way. No, well, Toby and I aren't
the only ones that had tongs used on Earth. But
it's like a fraternity. It really is. It really is, Hoby.
So what do you what do you do now?
Speaker 2 (04:59):

Speaker 1 (05:25):
This go back to something you said earlier.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
You said that it is it's very similar to like
having like a like a dog given birth or something
like that, or or a pig.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
How many? How many?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
I have never seen I swear to God, I've never
I will never be a part of And I don't
think I've seen an animal give birth.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I think that's not true in person. Yes, I saw
a giraffe give birth at the draft or we saw
the draft on on video. Yeah, no, no, I saw
that in person. You called Jackie to verify that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, but I will never see a dog give birth.
I'll never see a pig give birth. I'll never I'll
never and I'll definitely never be around when something like
that happens.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
So you don't envision yourself ever being neighbors to someone
who would need your assistance.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Oh God, no, no, no, I mean and even for
a dog. If they said, hey, Elliott, I need some help,
like my dog's giving birth, I would have to tell them, no,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I wouldn't know what to do. I couldn't be around it.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Well, we've delivered dogs quite a bit years ago.
Speaker 1 (06:32):

He's like, well, you know, I've gone told Harold and
they gave me a flat head because of them tongs.
I'm like, nobody knows Harold, nobody, nobody has any idea
who Harold is. But you're saying it like I'm stupid
