Jimmy gosh, we have such different lives, me and you. [ laughter ] wow, this is fantastic. I love hearing this. Cooking i have nothing. I have nothing to talk about. Youre teaching a pig how to do stuff with cooking . Yeah, like clicks the click is the reward because clearly she rewarded the pig with food too young, and now its enormous. So she clicks for a reward, im not sure, and the pig loves her. It just hates everybody else and she thought it would be a a good idea for my cousin to feed this pig inside the enclosure. I wouldnt even go in there. And it kind of like ran at my cousin who is, like, 12, and he didnt get it tried to eat her knee, which it would have successfully done, but she jumped over the fence, but she still had a very big, big booboo.
