[0:01] Kitten: Meow, meow, and Clucky are two best friends trying to make sense of the world around them. Adventures and discoveries around every bend. Come along and explore with them!

[0:24] Amy Daniels: Season 5, Episode 7, Piranha with Lemon.

[0:31] Link: Where are you going, Hefa?

[0:33] Kitten: Oh, Link! My Puerto Rican roots are rubbing off on you, amigo. Look at you using the proper Spanish term for lady boss. Hefa!

[0:43] Link: Thanks, Hefa. I'm glad you noticed. Now, are you going to tell me where you are going?

[0:49] Kitten: Um, nowhere. I just thought I smelled something strange.

[0:54] Link: What kind of something, Hefa?

[0:59] Kitten: Not sure. I think I've smelled this scent before.

[1:06] Link: What does it smell like, Hefa?

[1:08] Kitten: Link, you really don't need to follow me.

[1:12] Link: But I want to help, Hefa.

[1:15] Kitten: Okay. I think the scent is coming from under that bush near the pond.

[1:24] Link: Hey! Oh, I think I just saw the bush tremble. Do bushes tremble, Hefa?

[1:30] Kitten: You are right. The bush is shaking or trembling. That is not normal bush behavior.

[1:42] Rosie: Good morning, Rosie and Link. Is there something wrong?

[1:46] Kitten: That bush is trembling, boss.

[1:48] Rosie: That is certainly odd for a bush. Do you want me to go check it out, as you can't get to it because it's on the other side of the dog fence?

[1:54] Kitten: I don't know, kitten. It could be dangerous.

[1:58] Link: Yeah, boss. What if you got in trouble and we could not get to you over the fence?

[2:03] Kitten: You both have very strong barks. If something unexpected comes out of the bush, then start barking and alert Maddox and the mom person.

[2:11] Link: Are you sure?

[2:13] Kitten: Of course. It could just be a lost or scared animal. I'll go check it out. Hello? Who's ever in the bush? Would you like to come out? My name is Kitten. I'm very friendly. You don't need to be afraid. I won't hurt you.

[2:28] Sensei: Good morrow, Kitten. Doth mine ears deceive me? Art thou conversing with that shrubbery?

[2:35] Kitten: Hello, Sensei. I'm surprised to see you. Don't you hibernate during the winter?

[2:40] Sensei: Verily, tis almost true. Koi fish, such as I, usually fall into torpor, which tis a state of dormancy, where my body slows and I remain near the bottom of the pond, whereas the water is warmest, moving little. Alas, this winter has been quite mild, so I am able to stretch my fins more.

[2:58] Kitten: Really? You spend most of the winter basically sleeping at the bottom of the pond when it's really cold?

[3:04] Sensei: Indeed. Doth mine ears deceive me? But were thou conversing with the shrubbery before I surfaced?

[3:10] Kitten: No, you were correct. I was talking to the bush. Have you noticed its trembling?

[3:15] Sensei: Verily, I do. Could it be the wind?

[3:19] Kitten: I don't think so. I didn't feel a breeze, and none of the other bushes are moving.

[3:24] Sensei: Of course, with most caution. After all, thou know'st the quote from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, Care killed the cat.

[3:30] Link: Care? I thought the phrase was Curiosity killed the cat.

[3:37] Sensei: Verily, that is the more common phrase. However, back in 1599, when Much Ado About Nothing t'was penned by the great William Shakespeare, the phrase t'was care referred to worry or sorrow.

[3:51] Kitten: I had no idea. I thought it was Curiosity killed the cat.

[3:57] Sensei: I had no idea. Shakespeare's responsible for so many of our common words and phrases.

[4:05] Sensei: Ay, indeed. The Bard's is credited for inventing 1,700 words in the English language. Did thou know'st he invented the word eyeball?

[4:15] Link: I did not. 1,700 words, that is a lot.

[4:20] Sensei: Indeed. Many common phrases we use today are also from the Bard.

[4:25] Rosie: What's the holdup?

[4:28] Kitten: Oh, sorry, Rosie. Sensei surfaced to say hi.

[4:32] Link: Who is Sensei, Huffa?

[4:35] Kitten: He's the koi fish that lives in the pond.

[4:38] Rosie: Do you need backup to check on the bush?

[4:42] Link: Want me to alert the family?

[4:45] Kitten: No, not yet. I'm going to check now. I'm sorry, Sensei, but I want to find out what's going on with that bush.

[4:51] Sensei: Indeed. My curiosity tis piqued as well. I shall observe thee from my water's most calm.

[4:58] Kitten: Yeah, okay. Excuse me. You in the bush. Will you please come out?

[5:12] Kitten: Are you shaking the bush, no? Are you shaking the bush, no? Now you're shaking yes?

[5:25] Kitten: Okay, so you don't want to come out, but you can understand me. Okay, that was a yes. Um, why won't you come out?

[5:37] Lemon: I'm too afraid, and I look awful.

[5:41] Kitten: Why are you afraid? I'm a small kitten. I won't hurt you.

[5:45] Lemon: Those big beasts, mate. They are back up by the fence. They won't come down here.

[5:51] Kitten: You won't laugh at me.

[5:53] Lemon: Why would I laugh at you?

[5:55] Kitten: I already should. I look awful.

[5:58] Kitten: We all have bad fur days once in a while. What if I promise I will not laugh?

[6:03] Lemon: You mean it?

[6:05] Kitten: Of course. No one likes to be laughed at. If you come out, maybe I can help.

[6:10] Lemon: Okay.

[6:16] Kitten: Oh my, it looks like you've really been through a lot.

[6:19] Lemon: See, I told you. You were making fun of me.

[6:23] Kitten: No, I'm not. I can just see from your fur that you've really been through a lot. You have a lot of twigs and other things caught in there.

[6:31] Sensei: Hold. Attend. This fiend I know. Take heed, kitten. You have met this creature before?

[6:39] Kitten: Aye, my fair kitten. I did overhear the villain in secret council with a doom hamster.

[6:45] Kitten: Is this the creature that Rubix was talking about the day that she escaped her ball? Rosie said she smelled something familiar.

[6:53] Sensei: Yes. I spoke to Rubix the day she escaped. However, then she was eaten by the giant white bird and I fled for my life.

[7:00] Kitten: Rubix was not eaten. She is still as grumpy as ever, living with me in Maddox's room. Maddox is the human girl that takes care of me.

[7:08] Sensei: Rubix was not eaten but recaptured? Is she still trying to take over the world?

[7:14] Sensei: Beware! I heard this villain confess to escaping and wanted to join Rix with thy doom hamster.

[7:21] Kitten: I don't know if I would go that far.

[7:24] Lemon: Yes, I did escape the awful place I was caged but I do not wish to join up with Rubix and take over the world.

[7:30] Kitten: It looks to me like you could use some help. What kind of creature are you?

[7:35] Lemon: I'm an agora rabbit. I usually have fluffy soft fur that grows really fast but living out here in the wild has been a lot harder than I thought it would be.

[7:44] Kitten: Can you tell me about where you used to live?

[7:47] Lemon: It was an awful place. They kept me in a cage all the time, only taking me out to brush, pluck and sometimes shave my fur.

[7:55] Sensei: It is true. I recall this villain conveying this tale to the doom hamster.

[8:01] Kitten: What is your name so Sensei can stop referring to you as a villain?

[8:05] Lemon: I don't think you're a villain. It seems to me like you've had some tough times and you're just looking for a friend and some help.

[8:12] Lemon: My name is Lemon. I don't know if I've ever had a friend before.

[8:16] Kitten: I will be your friend, Lemon. My name is Kitten.

[8:19] Lemon: Kitten, do friends help each other?

[8:22] Kitten: Yes, they do, Lemon. I'm sure if I took you up to the house with me, Maddox would help get you cleaned up. Would you like that?

[8:30] Lemon: Oh, I've not been clean in so long. Do you think she would help me get the twigs and mess out of my fur?

[8:37] Kitten: I think so. However, we may have to cut some out. I have had a couple of mats before and have needed them cut out.

[8:44] Lemon: Do you think she'll shave me down? I do not like that.

[8:47] Kitten: Oh, no. She may just give you a trim.

[8:51] Lemon: That sounds okay. Do you have some food?

[8:54] Kitten: We have lots of food at the house. What do you eat?

[8:56] Lemon: My favorite food is carrots and dark leafy greens like romaine, lettuce, and parsley. But I also eat grass hay, protein pellets, and some fruit.

[9:05] Kitten: I'm sure we can find you something. I know the humans eat carrots and leafy greens.

[9:10] Lemon: Is it okay if I have the dogs raise the alarm to let the family know to come find us?

[9:15] Kitten: They won't do that.

[9:17] Lemon: Yes, they are friends too.

[9:19] Kitten: Really? I've never met nice dogs.

[9:21] Kitten: Rosie and Link are the best. They are always willing to help.

[9:24] Kitten: Okay, Rosie, raise the alarm. I will wait here with Lemon for Maddox.

[9:41] Clucky: It's so nice we've had so little snow this year.

[9:44] Bella: I like having all this access to nature.

[9:46] Clucky: It's so nice we've had so little snow this year. I like having all this access to the grass.

[9:49] Satoshi: What are you talking about, Clucky? It's been miserable. I miss the snow.

[9:59] Clucky: Snow is cold.

[10:02] Bella: Oh, Satoshi, we can always count on you to state the obvious.

[10:07] Clucky: I'm with Clucky. I like it when we have a mild winter.

[10:12] Bella: Snow can be pretty, but it is cold and miserable.

[10:15] Brigitte: I completely agree, Bella. If there was some way I could keep my feet warm, it might be more pleasant, but I think boots on chicken feet would be rather awkward.

[10:24] Brigitte: Hello, everyone.

[10:26] Clucky: Brigitte, are you talking about getting some boots?

[10:29] Brigitte: No, darling. I was just saying they would be rather cumbersome on chicken feet. Now, if I had paws like you, it would be so much easier.

[10:38] Loki: My humans have booties for me. They drive me crazy.

[10:42] Clucky: It feels super weird to have boots on.

[10:45] Loki: You have boots, Loki?

[10:47] Loki: Sort of. Back in Canada, when the winters were super cold, my paw pads would sometimes get scraped up from sticking to the ice and snow.

[10:56] Loki: Then, with the salt they spread, it would kind of sting. So on those colder days, my family would put these ridiculous booties on my paws. It made walking feel really weird, but I'd get used to them after walking for a bit.

[11:08] Loki: It only happened if it was minus 15 or more.

[11:12] Clucky: Minus 15? I didn't realize you could survive in that kind of temperature.

[11:17] Loki: You know I mean Celsius, right? My boys are always going on about temperature conversions since we moved here.

[11:25] Clucky: Why are you converting temperature here, Loki?

[11:28] Loki: In Canada, we use a different temperature measurement than in the U.S.

[11:32] Clucky: Oh, do you mean metric?

[11:34] Loki: Yes! Celsius is one of the metric units of temperature.

[11:38] Clucky: My boys mentioned that the U.S. is the only country in the world that still uses Fahrenheit as a measure of surface air temperatures. They find it super frustrating.

[11:49] Loki: There is another one that is metric. Kelvin, I think it is?

[11:53] Clucky: Only scientists use that one.

[11:55] Clucky: Kevin? I think I knew a Kevin once. Didn't Xander have a friend named Kevin at one point?

[12:01] Loki: Calvin. Clucky. Not Kevin.

[12:05] Loki: Actually, Maddox brought home a scientific textbook that talks about Kelvin. It's a different scale because it starts at absolute zero, which is where molecular motion stops.

[12:16] Clucky: A mole curer? Is that a doctor for moles? Do they see other animals like rodents, or are they specifically just moles? And are we talking about moles like a mark or a freckle, or are we talking about moles like the animal?

[12:29] Loki: Neither, Clucky. I don't think there's a specific doctor for just moles in either case. It's either a dermatologist, which is a skin doctor, or a veterinarian, an animal doctor.

[12:42] Loki: And I said molecular, which means a group of two or more atoms that bond together. Everything in this world is made up of atoms, and the atoms are constantly moving, even though we can't see them without powerful microscopes. Absolute zero is when it's so cold that even atoms stop moving.

[12:59] Clucky: Moving is hard.

[13:02] Satoshi: My tummy is blue.

[13:05] Clucky: Well, I'm not surprised, given what you ate yesterday.

[13:08] Satoshi: Oh, no! Satoshi, what happened yesterday?

[13:12] Satoshi: I ate a fish.

[13:15] Clucky: Was it an old, bad, rotten fish?

[13:18] Satoshi: No.

[13:20] Clucky: Did you have too much fish?

[13:22] Satoshi: No.

[13:24] Clucky: Ask her what kind of fish it was.

[13:26] Clucky: What kind of fish did you eat, Satoshi?

[13:29] Satoshi: I don't know. It was hard.

[13:32] Clucky: The fish was hard? That's odd. Fish is one of my favorite foods, and I've never had a hard fish before.

[13:39] Satoshi: It had teeth.

[13:41] Clucky: Teeth?

[13:43] Satoshi: Yes, pointy teeth.

[13:46] Clucky: What kind of fish would have pointy teeth?

[13:48] Amy Daniels: Well, it could have been a thalassomidae.

[13:52] Clucky: Hello. Are you food?

[13:56] Amy Daniels: No? Okay, I'll just climb back up the tree a bit.

[14:01] Satoshi: Satoshi, not food. She's also a friend.

[14:06] Clucky: Okay. Oh, thank you, Lukey.

[14:12] Amy Daniels: That felt rather tense there. I think, yes, I think I'll just stay up here a bit.

[14:18] Clucky: Seems a little safer. Yes, definitely.

[14:23] Hazel: Hello, Hazel. What were you saying?

[14:26] Amy Daniels: Oh, yes, yes. Pardon the intrusion.

[14:29] Hazel: I was just up here in the tree and overheard your conversation.

[14:35] Amy Daniels: I hope I'm not interrupting.

[14:38] Clucky: It's fine, Hazel. You're always welcome to join us if you're around.

[14:42] Hazel: Oh, thank you, Clucky. That's very nice of you. I'm reassuring.

[14:47] Amy Daniels: Well, as I was saying, the pointy-toothed fish could have been one of the fish from the sarasalmidae family.

[14:54] Clucky: Are they local?

[14:56] Hazel: Well, no. They're native to South America.

[15:00] Amy Daniels: So the sarasalmon lives in South America? That's far from here, isn't it?

[15:05] Clucky: Oh, it's not a type of salmon, Clucky, nor are they named Sara.

[15:11] Amy Daniels: It's sarasalmidae, but the common name would be piranha.

[15:15] Hazel: And more specifically, probably the red-bellied piranha, Pygocentris natareri.

[15:23] Clucky: Oh, I'm so confused.

[15:25] Hazel: A piranha sounds like more of a cat than a fish, and then the pig in the center in a nursery?

[15:32] Amy Daniels: So you heard the same thing I did, Bella.

[15:35] Clucky: I'm just as confused. Weren't we talking about a fish?

[15:39] Hazel: Oh, oh my, I'm just... I'm just confusing matters, aren't I? I should go.

[15:45] Amy Daniels: No, Hazel, don't go. You're actually right.

[15:48] Clucky: It was a piranha that Satoshi ate. At least, that's what I heard my human mom say.

[15:53] Hazel: Why did your family have a piranha, Loki?

[15:56] Amy Daniels: If what Hazel says is true, and they're from South America, what was it doing in Washington?

[16:01] Clucky: Well, here's the part that should explain everything, including why it's hard.

[16:06] Amy Daniels: My human mom got it while she was on vacation down in the Amazon.

[16:10] Clucky: It was a taxidermied piranha.

[16:12] Hazel: Loki, what are you talking about? Do piranhas travel in taxis down in South America?

[16:18] Amy Daniels: No, Clecky.

[16:19] Clucky: Taxidermy is the science of preserving animals so they can be presented in their lifelike form.

[16:25] Amy Daniels: I've never seen an example of it, but I've seen some pictures and books of animals in museums that look like they are real, and they're posed in a natural way.

[16:34] Clucky: So that would explain why the piranha was hard.

[16:36] Amy Daniels: Yes, hard and with teeth.

[16:39] Hazel: Did you eat a preserved piranha, Satoshi?

[16:43] Clucky: Maybe. My tummy still feels blue.

[16:46] Amy Daniels: Yeah, she definitely ate it.

[16:48] Clucky: My human mom was telling my human dad about it on the phone.

[16:52] Amy Daniels: She said all she found was the little wooden base it used to sit on.

[16:56] Clucky: Satoshi found it in one of our old moving boxes my mom hadn't unpacked yet.

[17:01] Amy Daniels: She ripped the box open, took the piranha out of the paper it was wrapped in, and ate the whole thing.

[17:08] Clucky: I could smell it, so I chewed it, but it was very hard and very crunchy.

[17:15] Amy Daniels: I like crunchy.

[17:17] Clucky: Cookies!

[17:19] Amy Daniels: Does a preserved fish still taste like a fish?

[17:22] Clucky: I don't think so.

[17:24] Amy Daniels: Osteichthys, in this case for the red-bellied piranha, Pygocentrus nadareri, because osteichthys refers to bony fish.

[17:29] Hazel: Sorry, I was just, you know...

[17:42] Clucky: Was it tasty?

[17:43] Amy Daniels: No.

[17:45] Clucky: So why did you keep eating it?

[17:49] Amy Daniels: I don't know. I just started and thought I should finish.

[17:54] Clucky: You don't do that with apples.

[17:56] Amy Daniels: Oh, Malus domestica. I wonder what kind.

[18:00] Clucky: Could be Gala, Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, Granny Smith.

[18:07] Amy Daniels: Which is great for me since I get to eat them.

[18:11] Clucky: I just lick those, but I don't like them very much.

[18:15] Amy Daniels: I'd like to know why the piranha had big teeth.

[18:18] Clucky: Piranhas have a reputation of being aggressive flesh-eating fish.

[18:22] Amy Daniels: You are right, Bridget. They do have that reputation.

[18:25] Clucky: But actually, they're omnivorous, meaning that they eat both plants and animals.

[18:30] Amy Daniels: They primarily live in the Amazon Basin in South America, and they are non-migratory.

[18:34] Clucky: They only live in freshwater like rivers and lakes, which is why it sounded very strange when Satoshi ate one.

[18:42] Amy Daniels: Piranhas are hard.

[18:44] Clucky: Not always, Satoshi.

[18:46] Amy Daniels: But it sounds unlikely that you'll ever encounter one in real life.

[18:50] Clucky: I am Amber.

[18:53] Amy Daniels: Shady Yellow, that's a new one.

[18:55] Clucky: And oddly specific.

[18:56] Amy Daniels: I should get you home.

[18:58] Clucky: Come on, Satoshi. Get up and let's go home.

[19:00] Amy Daniels: Okay.

[19:02] Clucky: Getting up is hard.

[19:04] Amy Daniels: Bye, friends.

[19:05] Clucky: You're not food.

[19:06] Amy Daniels: Bye, Satoshi.

[19:08] Clucky: I hope you feel better soon.

[19:09] Amy Daniels: See you again soon, husky friends.

[19:12] Clucky: Well, still haven't figured out Satoshi and her colors.

[19:15] Amy Daniels: I'm sure we will one day, Bridget.

[19:17] Clucky: Do you want to know what happened to me this morning?

[19:20] Amy Daniels: Of course!

[19:21] Clucky: It seemed to take you an extra long time to get down here today.

[19:25] Amy Daniels: Yes, it is rather late in the afternoon.

[19:28] Clucky: Well, I was a part of a rescue this morning.

[19:30] Amy Daniels: Oh, that sounds dangerous.

[19:33] Clucky: Was it dangerous?

[19:34] Amy Daniels: No, I was not in any danger.

[19:37] Clucky: What happened?

[19:38] Amy Daniels: Do you remember late last spring when Rubix escaped from her ball and Piper accidentally caught her in her beak when she crash landed?

[19:45] Clucky: That girl sure knows how to make an entrance.

[19:48] Amy Daniels: She sure does.

[19:50] Clucky: Do you also remember that Sensei told us there was another creature talking to Rubix just before her escape, but we never found it?

[19:57] Amy Daniels: Yeah, I do remember that.

[19:59] Clucky: Rosie sniffed all over and could not locate the other animal.

[20:03] Amy Daniels: Well, that's who I met this morning.

[20:05] Clucky: Oh?

[20:07] Amy Daniels: What kind of creature was it?

[20:09] Clucky: It was an Angora rabbit named Lemon.

[20:12] Amy Daniels: A Oryctolagus coniculus domesticus.

[20:15] Clucky: Oh, they should not be out in the wild.

[20:18] Amy Daniels: They need special care for their fur.

[20:21] Clucky: You are right.

[20:22] Amy Daniels: Poor Lemon was in a rough state.

[20:24] Clucky: He had lots of debris and mats in his fur.

[20:27] Amy Daniels: Oh, I thought Lemon was a girl's name.

[20:30] Clucky: Was Lemon a boy?

[20:32] Amy Daniels: Actually, I'm not sure.

[20:33] Clucky: I didn't ask.

[20:35] Amy Daniels: Oh no, were you able to get Lemon help?

[20:38] Clucky: Yes, the dogs alerted Maddox and she was able to take Lemon in.

[20:42] Amy Daniels: Lemon got a big hug from Maddox.

[20:45] Clucky: Lemon got a bath and Maddox did a great job getting the fur untangled.

[20:49] Amy Daniels: Oh, good.

[20:51] Clucky: I bet that took a lot of brushing.

[20:54] Amy Daniels: And some clipping.

[20:56] Clucky: However, Maddox was very gentle and determined.

[20:59] Amy Daniels: I think Lemon actually enjoyed all the attention.

[21:03] Clucky: So when do we get to meet Lemon?

[21:05] Amy Daniels: Do we have another family member?

[21:07] Clucky: I'm afraid you don't get to meet Lemon.

[21:10] Amy Daniels: Why not?

[21:11] Clucky: Did something bad happen after they got cleaned up?

[21:14] Amy Daniels: Did Rubix try and recruit Lemon to her army again?

[21:18] Clucky: No, nothing like that.

[21:20] Amy Daniels: The mom person talked to our neighbor who has a little girl who wanted a rabbit.

[21:24] Clucky: They came over a little while ago and picked up Lemon.

[21:28] Amy Daniels: So Lemon is gone?

[21:30] Clucky: Yes, Juniper, the neighbor girl, was so excited.

[21:33] Amy Daniels: Maddox showed her how to brush the fur and she even brought some bows to put in the fur.

[21:38] Clucky: Bows?

[21:40] Amy Daniels: Yes, Lemon seemed to really enjoy the extra flair.

[21:44] Clucky: Juniper was very gentle.

[21:46] Amy Daniels: I think the two of them are going to have a wonderful friendship.

[21:49] Clucky: Hey, Kitten, you were able to get Lemonade.

[21:53] Amy Daniels: Get it?

[21:54] Clucky: Lemonade?

[21:56] Amy Daniels: Oh, Clucky.

[21:57] Clucky: Oh, Clucky.

[21:58] Amy Daniels: Oh, Clucky.

[21:59] Clucky: Oh, Clucky.

[22:02] Amy Daniels: Clucky.

[22:05] Amy Daniels: Thank you for joining us for today's episode.

[22:08] Amy Daniels: Voices for today's characters were done by

[22:10] Olga Rivera: as Rosie.

[22:13] Amy Daniels: My Puerto Rican roots are rubbing off on you, amigo.

[22:17] Matt Daniels: as Sensei.

[22:19] Amy Daniels: I did overhear the villain in Secret Council with a Doom hamster.

[22:23] Corwin Rosen: as Loki.

[22:26] Amy Daniels: You know I mean Celsius, right?

[22:28] Christine Rosen: as Satoshi.

[22:31] Amy Daniels: Hello.

[22:33] Christine Rosen: Are you food?

[22:34] Janae Frank: as Hazel.

[22:37] Amy Daniels: Okay, I'll just climb back up the tree a bit.

[22:39] Corbin Daniels: as Link.

[22:42] Amy Daniels: Where are you going, Huffa?

[22:44] Amy Daniels: And Lemon.

[22:45] Parker Daniels: I don't know if I've ever had a friend before.

[22:48] Amy Daniels: as Bridget.

[22:50] Amy Daniels: We can always count on you to state the obvious.

[22:54] Amy Daniels: Bella.

[22:55] Amy Daniels: Does a preserved fish still taste like a fish?

[22:58] Amy Daniels: And Brigitte.

[22:59] Amy Daniels: No, darling.

[23:00] Amy Daniels: I was just saying they would be rather cumbersome on chicken feet.

[23:04] Amy Daniels: And Amy Daniels as Kitten.

[23:07] Amy Daniels: 1700 words.

[23:08] Amy Daniels: That is a lot.

[23:10] Amy Daniels: And Clucky.

[25:24] Amy Daniels: Oh, we've got another message.

[25:26] Amy Daniels: This is from Hannah, age seven, in Keele, Wisconsin.

[25:34] Clucky: She asks.

[25:35] Amy Daniels: Oh, it's a question?

[25:36] Clucky: Yes, Clucky, a burning question.

[25:39] Amy Daniels: She wants to know, what's your favorite thing to do with Xander?

[26:00] Clucky: There's so many wonderful stories out there.

[26:03] Amy Daniels: We could spend the whole day reading.

[26:05] Clucky: Oh, she also wants to know, what is our favorite food?
