Alisha (0:01)

Are we aching? Yep, yep, yep. For some bacon, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Remi (0:05)

What is that?

SPEAKER_3 (0:06)

What?

Remi (0:07)

Let me guess.

SPEAKER_4 (0:09)

Like a dog treat commercial.

Heath (0:12)

For some bacon?

Alisha (0:13)

Yep, yep, yep.

Heath (0:14)

It sounds like a dog.

Remi (0:14)

He's a big pig. Yeah, do you like it, right?

Alisha (0:16)

You can be a big pig too.

SPEAKER_6 (0:17)

Oi!

Alisha (0:19)

Really?

Remi (0:19)

Oh my God.

Alisha (0:20)

Lion King?

Remi (0:21)

No, it's not.

SPEAKER_6 (0:22)

Yes.

Alisha (0:23)

It's when they're like right before they're doing like Timon and Pumbaa.

Remi (0:27)

When they're walking on the log?

Alisha (0:28)

No. Oh my God.

Zane (0:30)

I need to watch Lion King, especially after this trip that I took.

Heath (0:32)

Yeah.

Zane (0:33)

I want to watch it, rewatch it.

Alisha (0:35)

Anyway, just when the guys do their references, everyone laughs and gets it.

SPEAKER_4 (0:41)

When I do a reference.

Zane (0:43)

We just have good ones.

Remi (0:44)

No, but again, why are they talking about bacon? Because of Timon? Pumbaa is a pig.

Zane (0:49)

He's a pit? No, he's not.

Remi (0:50)

He's a wild boar.

Zane (0:51)

He's a war hog, yeah, which we saw a lot of those out there too.

SPEAKER_4 (0:54)

Oh, is he not a wild boar?

SPEAKER_6 (0:56)

Isn't that all the pig family?

Remi (0:57)

Are they the same thing? Oh, okay. He's a fictional war hog.

Alisha (0:59)

It's when they're trying to get the hyenas to come to them, they're doing the luau thing. They're like, don't you want, you know, whatever.

Zane (1:06)

Don't say hyena.

Alisha (1:08)

Triggered?

Zane (1:08)

Yeah. I saw one guy eating alive, it was crazy.

Alisha (1:11)

Well, yeah. Okay.

Remi (1:12)

Wow. You saw someone eat, you saw them eat a hyena?

Alisha (1:15)

Yeah.

Zane (1:16)

I remember from like a month ago, I was telling you about my trip.

Remi (1:18)

Oh, I didn't, yeah, but I didn't realize that the, they ate one, you said that they didn't eat one.

Zane (1:22)

No, oh no, they were tearing that ass, tearing that shit up.

Remi (1:25)

Tearing that ass up.

Heath (1:26)

He caught himself too. Oh no, they were tearing that ass up.

Remi (1:30)

Oh, it's a circle of life.

Zane (1:33)

But like, yeah, no, you didn't like feel bad because like, it was just nature, you know, it's just like this, you're kind of on the side just watching something natural happen.

Heath (1:41)

Imagine trying to intervene. Stop it.

Remi (1:44)

Stop, guys, stop it. Have you guys seen, though, like a lot of people that work, videographers and people that work for like National Geographic or something, like the whole, the big rule is you don't intervene, but there is this one specific time.

SPEAKER_6 (1:58)

I was okay with it.

Zane (1:59)

We're the Emperor Penguins.

Remi (2:01)

No, it's true. They were Emperor Penguins, I think, in Antarctica, and they all were going to die because it was so cold and they couldn't like get up or down a hill. And so the people were just watching for days, like trying to let them figure it out.

Zane (2:15)

I think when it comes to saving their life, especially penguins, I think it's time to intervene.

Remi (2:19)

So they went and they dug the tunnel. And then they found, yeah, they were like, we have to...

SPEAKER_4 (2:25)

Oh, you guys are all going to die.

Heath (2:27)

Look at them standing in line.

Zane (2:29)

They honestly look like, they look like Eskimos, but they're like big hooded like fur.

Remi (2:33)

You also know how tall they are. They're like four feet tall. Wait, they're like almost as tall as me. Oh wait, that's really tall. They're almost as tall as me. Isn't that crazy?

Alisha (2:42)

Pebble and the Penguin, anyone?

SPEAKER_4 (2:43)

The Pebble and the Penguin.

Remi (2:45)

I love that one.

Zane (2:47)

Do you think the Penguin, Penguins are all like, oh, that was really nice of them. Or are they just like, okay, it's there.

SPEAKER_4 (2:52)

I think they know.

Remi (2:52)

I think they thought so.

Alisha (2:53)

You know what, I feel like if it was a Pixar movie, they'd be like, there must be a path somewhere. And then they finally find it.

SPEAKER_6 (2:59)

They're like, aha, it appeared, you know what I mean?

Remi (3:01)

Like something like that.

Zane (3:02)

Have you guys ever seen the movie Big Hoppers?

Alisha (3:04)

No.

Zane (3:04)

Or no, sorry, not Big Hoppers, Hoppers.
