Yeah, Z-5? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that the average jackrabbit can hop 35 miles an hour? That's some hopping. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I guess first the chicken. an egg i don't know the chicken the egg the chicken god produced an egg chicken and then the egg hatched and i made a chicken and that chicken made more eggs it wasn't how it had to

be in the summertime because it has to keep warm the egg came first i think it was the chicken i heard that on a program i was thinking about it i've been thinking about it for a long time and I couldn't, but I think it's a chicken. I think the chicken did. The egg came first. Egg. Oh, chicken. Chicken. Because an egg has to hatch to make a chicken, a chicken just can't appear. The egg. It's a wonder the dinosaurs didn't trample over it. I mean, one little egg. Poor egg. Well, I think the chicken, because some kind of a dinosaur may have had, like, an egg which turned into a chicken. It's a freak. Eggs, or the chickens, I don't know. Ah, egg. They came from Iowa and we picked them up at the airport and there were 27 in this little

box about a foot by a foot. And we had made a brooder before, and we brought them home and we put them in the brooder. One half has a light bulb in it, and it has a cloth wall to keep in the heat. And then the other half, it's colder, and it has water in it. When you get the chickens out of the package, you should teach them how to drink. What are the names of different kinds of chickens? Um... No. No. Not really. I think they're Chilean chickens that lay collared eggs. What do you mean by different names? Well, a rooster, turkey, and a chicken. Hens, roosters, chicken, and chickadee.

I don't know. I don't know. I just can't think of the name of chicken. This is a ghostly pearl leghorn, and they're bred for their egg laying. They come from the south and are the very best type of egg layers. This is an anaconda, and they're bred for a barnyard chicken because they can run around fast and fly well. This is a white-crested black Polish. They were bred for beauty and for fighting in a ring. They have a V-shaped comb. They are all right egg layers. This is Hercules. He's a rooster. He's a silver-laced lion dog. He's bred for being a meat bird. He grows very quickly.

Like, he just lays by the feet and eats. What's the pecking order? I don't know. I don't know. Nope, not really. Something that pecks. I think it's like a woodpecker. Kind of chicken? Not sure. Packing order? Order of pecking. A pecking order is when the chickens, one chicken's a top, and nobody can peck him. And then there's a second chicken. He can peck anybody except the first guy. And then there's a third that can peck everybody underneath him, and nobody can peck him except the three-top one. And that goes right on down the line until the last one who gets pecked by everybody and can't peck anybody. And here is probably the very last bird. You can see the blood on her head. How can you tell when a hen is ready to lay eggs? It's fat.

Stomach gets real fat. It starts going crazy. It eats a lot. Well, I don't really know, but i think they like sit still and they don't make much noise it starts making a lot of noise or something when his behavior gets different she gets all upset just sitting around you know i've never seen a chicken when it's gonna lay an egg the way you tell they're laying eggs is well these are pullets so it isn't too good yet because they haven't fully developed but in the eye, around the black Spartan eye, it should be whitish. And the beak, which is starting to turn white, should be white too. The comb should be a very, very red comb. The legs are supposed to be white too, and they're starting to turn white. And another way you can tell is that if you can put two fingers between the pelvic bones, then you know they're good But, Keith and Kenny, you still haven't told us

which came first, the chicken or the egg. Well, you need an egg to get a chicken, but you also need a chicken to get the egg. And the chicken comes from the egg, so you need an egg to get the chicken. Which do you think came first, the chicken or the egg? Is he one? Yeah, is he three? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that baby whales came 200 pounds a day? That's a wheel of a story. What songs do you sing when you jump rope? Here are two which we sing. The other way. That's Nina, that is Fred. Whoever messes up the first time takes Kenny, then like I take Kenny and Tracy takes Joe. Nina takes Kenny, me. I'm going to try jumping on one leg. Oh, Ken, you can't even jump on two legs. I can jump on two legs. I've been thinking, what's the half death you've been drinking? Is it water, tastes like wine?

Oh, my God, it's turpentine. Backpack poppers! Three, four, five, six! I'm steady in here. All right, check Kenny's in. I haven't even gotten into hot peppers. Lincoln, Lincoln, I've been thinking, What the heck have you been drinking? Looks like water, tastes like wine. Oh, my gosh, it's turpentine. Red Hot Peppers! Yay! I love this beautiful solo. You take Joe's in. I did better than anybody else in Red Hot Peppers. Different song on. Over and under the Joe's, it's not your turn here. Down the valley. Yeah, down the valley. Yeah. Tell me how it goes. Down in the valley where the green grass grows I smell Nina, it's sweet as she grows She sang, she sang, she sang so sweet A line came to skip and sweeped her off her feet

How many kisses did she read? You take mine. Okay, no, come on. Put up your hands. I've got it. No, I'm gonna beat you on it. How long did I tell you? I'll think of someone by the time. You too. Come on, a little bit. Two. Down in the back where the green grass grows There it says, John, as sweet as he grows He sang, he sang, he sang so sweet Alone came Geneva in the top of the feet How many kisses did he make me sweet?

What's for that? Yeah. What's for that? For the friends. You already did this in school? Now, let's see if this is right here. What are you doing? You're doing well. Now, you cut your panes. Your house. What are you doing?

I'll put the masts on the floor. It's okay, Barbara. It's okay. I'll put the masts on the floor. If you want to learn to do the boat,

do your friends always keep secrets you tell them we had a zoom rap about it yeah i think a friend a friend makes like he's got to be honest to you like if um somebody well like sometimes it's not good to tell a secret somebody told somebody else told about you but it's also good because then you can know what they think about you and I think a good friend is like when they're honest to you and the thing that happens is if you tell secrets about somebody and then finally they find out they really hurt. No go ahead. I have a friend and she used to be my really really best friend and i used to tell her everything and then she she fell in love with this guy who is so um anyway i i had told her lots of secrets before and one of them was that i didn't like this guy who she had suddenly fallen in love with right so she told this guy that right and

he has a lot of power because he's got so many friends he's strong right yeah right and she got oh he's 12 and so she got really mad at me and he got really mad at me and then they got all their friends and everything to get really mad at me and i had absolutely no one to turn to and everybody hated me and then so this girl started making up lies about me and i was i didn't know what to do because everywhere i turned somebody would say ah you know and they'd tell a big right stuff like that and it was really terrible and i kept trying to talk to her and ask her why she did this to me right and she kept saying i didn't do anything i'm your best friend you know why would i do this and then she turned right around and run and tell some more lies about me i couldn't do anything it was absolutely pathetic and then finally i got her practically up against the wall and i said okay now stop it you know you're going to be sorry and so you're getting mad yeah right i was getting really really mad and she said but i didn't do it it was all this kid's fault you know her boyfriend and she said oh he forced me to do it and so she said well you know duh and so she said okay let's let's make friends and i said not before you tell everybody

you know that that it wasn't true and so she had to go around and tell everybody it wasn't true and And so that's how it ended, finally, because you really... This kid, once she gets started, right, you can't stop her. You have to practically kill her. It's really terrible. I mean it. When you get in fights with some of your best friends, you really don't feel right until you get back friends with them again. Z1? Yeah, Z4? Yeah. As a matter of fact, did you know that the highest stilts anyone ever walked on were 22 feet from the ankles to the ground? Well, that's about four times as big as you are. Right.
