chimpanzee but massive and uh you know i remember after the show i just said hey can i hang out with the chimpanzee so it came out and i'm just sitting out within the parking lot for about half an hour just me and this chimpanzee right in front of me looking right my eyes it was playing with the buttons on my shirt and you know the trainer was 20 feet away and i just thought it was so the cutest thing and then you know you a few years later i read about the chimpanzee ripping that

You know, killing people and how violent they are.

And you go, man, that is, you know, I had a macaw at one point, which I actually had to get rid of, you know, big red parrot, you know, macaw.

And I got it when it was 30.

13 months old and this was my biggest disappointment i'd say with uh a pet because i had gotten this macaw it's named rex he was on the web show for a period of time i was after you were on that time but uh and i really love this thing and i love animals you know and i i was i was so fascinated by it because i was realizing oh this is this is a pet that i'm gonna have for the rest of my life and i was all dedicated to this

And I was really kind of somewhat moved by the fact that I was going to be having this beautiful macaw for the rest of my life.

And it would pick my teeth and it would stick its beak in my mouth and literally just kind of chew on my ear and all of this kind of stuff.

And then all of a sudden, when it got to be about 13 years old, it just became a real asshole.

Like it really, really changed.

It had been going from this little baby to I couldn't put my hand in the cage without it really biting hard and almost took my finger off.

I had to go in the cage to clean the cage and I couldn't pick it up anymore.

And I actually had to find it a new home.

Do you think it just didn't like being in a cage?

I'm sure it didn't.

I wouldn't like it myself, you know.

And that feels bad, too.

That's the thing I don't really like about having my car.

Yeah, exactly.

It started to feel really bad.

So I took it back to the bird place where I'd gotten it.
