My name is Oshagod, and this is my Pokemon story.
00:00:02.987 --> 00:00:06.866
Um, uh, Umumph.
00:00:25.586 --> 00:00:30.277
Um, uh, Um, uh, umph uh uh uh uh.
00:00:45.798 --> 00:00:52.219
Welcome to as the Pokemon Turns, where every voice, every journey, and every memory brings us closer to the world of Pokemon.
00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:55.728
I'm David Hernandez and I'm joined by a streamer who's favorite.
00:00:55.728 --> 00:00:57.469
Otter always makes us splash.
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.789
And whose childhood bond with Pokemon still echoes through every story he shares.
00:01:02.168 --> 00:01:04.248
Oshagod, welcome to As The Pokeball Turns.
00:01:04.710 --> 00:01:05.087
Nice.
00:01:05.177 --> 00:01:06.046
Thank you for having me.
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:07.400
Absolutely.
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.631
And I'm gonna assume that Oshawott your favorite Pokemon, you seem to have a very fondness to that Pokemon.
00:01:12.631 --> 00:01:16.980
I wanted to ask, like, can you share the story of how it became your favorite Pokemon, or what's the connection with it?
00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:23.194
Yeah, so, It was right around the time that they announced Pokemon Black and White.
00:01:23.634 --> 00:01:32.123
I wasn't like a little, little kid, I was probably like early preteen tween, they announced Oshawott and I was like, oh, this is a cute little character.
00:01:32.123 --> 00:01:35.304
You know, I wonder, you know, what his personality is gonna be.
00:01:35.334 --> 00:01:38.433
And so, when the anime, appeared on Cartoon Network.
00:01:38.433 --> 00:01:46.661
I was like, oh, cool, let's check it out, you know, and then Oshawott showed up and it was so cute it had a good personality.
00:01:46.691 --> 00:01:52.691
And then, as I've grown up, like I've kind of resonated with its personality just on screen.
00:01:53.290 --> 00:02:01.691
I don't know what it is, it's just for some reason it's just that Pokemon itself has just always resonated with me and just who I am, you know?
00:02:02.153 --> 00:02:04.593
do you remember what parts of it you kind of enjoyed over other Pokemon?
00:02:05.055 --> 00:02:09.496
so in the anime, one thing is the kind of like how he, he.
00:02:13.998 --> 00:02:14.913
he had basically.
00:02:15.431 --> 00:02:21.222
gone to Professor Juniper's lab and no one had picked him and so he was just kind of following Ash around.
00:02:22.151 --> 00:02:33.394
then eventually, I believe it was an episode where I think Sandile, they were like at some Resort and Sandile was being a bully Oshawott kind of helped out or whatnot.
00:02:33.443 --> 00:02:41.878
But I think a lot of just what else resonated with me with Oshawott was there was this, I I guess was training and he was the.
00:02:42.003 --> 00:02:53.461
Aqua Jett, like he closes his eyes under the water and that whole story eventually his eyes or he navigates it, you know, so that this kind of resonates with me, my perseverance.
00:02:53.770 --> 00:02:54.661
Keep going, you know?
00:02:55.118 --> 00:02:55.408
Yeah.
00:02:55.489 --> 00:03:02.024
I think I'm starting to remember now'cause I remember it would always close its eye'cause it would always lose control of its Aqua Jett.
00:03:02.024 --> 00:03:03.644
So it was very uncontrollable.
00:03:03.913 --> 00:03:05.473
And it was also the one that tapped its shell.
00:03:05.473 --> 00:03:05.713
Right.
00:03:05.713 --> 00:03:06.554
When it was proud of something.
00:03:06.933 --> 00:03:07.253
Yeah
00:03:07.663 --> 00:03:07.855
Okay.
00:03:07.855 --> 00:03:09.756
So you resonated with the perseverance of Oshawott.
00:03:09.776 --> 00:03:14.246
The fact that it kept trying, even though I think it was scared, is the reason why it wouldn't open its eyes.
00:03:14.251 --> 00:03:14.350
Yeah.
00:03:15.265 --> 00:03:15.355
Right.
00:03:15.955 --> 00:03:16.045
Right.
00:03:16.045 --> 00:03:16.675
Awesome, man.
00:03:16.853 --> 00:03:20.663
Say that Oshawott was able to be like a co streamer on your Twitch channel.
00:03:20.992 --> 00:03:22.883
What kind of dynamic do you think y'all two would have?
00:03:24.332 --> 00:03:24.872
Oh man.
00:03:25.173 --> 00:03:27.397
I think, I I think would be getting into too many things.
00:03:27.397 --> 00:03:34.627
Be a cat, just too, be getting into too many things or he would want like you said probably.
00:03:35.348 --> 00:03:35.768
know?
00:03:36.163 --> 00:03:36.513
right.
00:03:36.812 --> 00:03:37.353
That's fine.
00:03:37.538 --> 00:03:37.657
you
00:03:38.075 --> 00:03:40.175
Well, let's go ahead and dive into your first experience.
00:03:40.175 --> 00:03:42.221
So you started with Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green.
00:03:42.531 --> 00:03:46.911
What was it like to start playing those games or to experience those games when you started getting into Pokemon?
00:03:47.227 --> 00:03:51.526
Uh, so I mean I watched the anime and I was like, oh, you know, I want Charmander.
00:03:51.526 --> 00:04:05.646
You know, I wanna be, I want Charizard So, when you're first playing your first Pokemon game, uh, most people what they do is they just solo it with the starter and have like little other Pokemon be like the HM designated Pokemon.
00:04:05.646 --> 00:04:06.967
So that was me.
00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:16.958
I don't think I ever beat the game, but I do remember, Beating, Gary or Blue, right before the, elite Four right outside, indigo Plateau.
00:04:17.048 --> 00:04:17.963
But Yeah.
00:04:18.237 --> 00:04:19.992
so that's what I remember from that basically.
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.019
I guess you went with the Charmander starter, I assume.
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.629
'Cause you said, you said Char, so I'm assuming that's the one you went through.
00:04:26.125 --> 00:04:36.514
Yeah, because Charizard was was my favorite when I was like, when I was little, little, little and just kind of always, it's my second favorite, now, but like and it's always.
00:04:36.774 --> 00:04:39.355
like one of my top five or just top two.
00:04:39.798 --> 00:04:44.838
but yeah, and then also I remember, the game in the, in the grocery store too.
00:04:45.523 --> 00:04:47.778
That's another thing I remember Walking around with playing.
00:04:47.778 --> 00:04:48.497
grocery store,
00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:49.240
okay.
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:55.750
So you would just be walking with your parents while they get the groceries and you'd be focused on the, were you using like a Game Boy advance or an SP at the time?
00:04:56.470 --> 00:05:06.334
Oh man, I, yeah, I used the, was it, I think it was, I don't know if it was a Silver or was the blue, the pearl blue one, but I do remember having, I I don't have anymore.
00:05:06.454 --> 00:05:09.550
I wish, had it, but Oh man.
00:05:09.910 --> 00:05:11.829
uh, the things we wish we kept when we were young.
00:05:11.829 --> 00:05:12.160
Right?
00:05:12.509 --> 00:05:13.839
Oh yeah, for sure.
00:05:14.500 --> 00:05:18.370
I guess what kept you engaged with the game because you were looking forward to this game.
00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:21.850
So did it meet up to the expectations and what did you enjoy about it?
00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:25.870
I, I Yeah, I mean, yeah, it'd be up with the expectations.
00:05:25.870 --> 00:05:27.245
I mean, I, I I.
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:35.889
it would play like the anime, so, you know, of course, you know how they, they play not out of turn, but they just kind of battle and there's no turns really.
00:05:35.889 --> 00:05:36.459
There's just.
00:05:37.060 --> 00:05:39.970
Going out at it, but I thought that's what it was.
00:05:39.970 --> 00:05:46.725
But then I kind of learned this is how it is and this is how it's structured and this is how it plays.
00:05:46.725 --> 00:05:48.134
It's different from the anime.
00:05:48.584 --> 00:05:56.824
I guess what kept me going, I mean, I don't, I mean, just discovering new Pokemon and seeing the ones I've saw on TV or the show, like, oh, I know that Pokemon, you know,
00:05:57.637 --> 00:06:03.218
so you were watching both the anime and playing the games at that point to where you would watch the anime and then you would kind of.
00:06:03.531 --> 00:06:08.271
I don't wanna say reflect, but you would kind of model what you saw on the anime into the game show.
00:06:08.271 --> 00:06:10.791
Would you have like usually the favorites of the main cast usually?
00:06:11.288 --> 00:06:13.927
Yeah, Yeah, I definitely had Pikachu.
00:06:13.992 --> 00:06:17.197
I, I, I know it was some point, I always a butterfree.
00:06:17.497 --> 00:06:19.267
I always caught Caterpie every time.
00:06:19.267 --> 00:06:21.757
I'm Kanto with Caterpie every time.
00:06:21.757 --> 00:06:22.598
I don't know why.
00:06:23.048 --> 00:06:25.838
I think Caterpie is like one of my, one of my favorites.
00:06:25.838 --> 00:06:30.788
But yeah, having a Caterpie, always having a Pidgey, you know, one of those,
00:06:31.187 --> 00:06:34.547
Did you feel like you were kind of Ash Ketchum whenever you would play the games?
00:06:34.547 --> 00:06:37.547
'cause you almost pretty much were copying word for word almost.
00:06:38.175 --> 00:06:43.252
Yeah, I,think I named myself Ash at one point, when I was a kid, you know, I don't wanna be me.
00:06:43.312 --> 00:06:47.331
I would go to Ash one day, you know, or like that, so,
00:06:47.586 --> 00:06:54.879
I mean, I did the same thing with, the Hoen Games Sapphire specifically, um, because I usually always did Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip in that order.
00:06:55.120 --> 00:07:03.887
So they, because I chose Torchic, I try to get a team like May, so I would have, Torchic, I would have Beautifly, I would get a SKitty.
00:07:04.057 --> 00:07:07.627
And I think that was pretty much about it to what I could copy from her team, if I remember correctly.
00:07:07.867 --> 00:07:13.836
But I would try to kind of live out like how her adventure would've gone had she had played in those games, you know?
00:07:14.802 --> 00:07:15.512
Right, right.
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:21.170
Now, you know, you kept playing with the game, so did you continue through going through all the generations afterwards?
00:07:21.170 --> 00:07:22.910
Like what was after gen three?
00:07:24.170 --> 00:07:26.673
So after gen three, it was Diamond and Pearl.
00:07:26.673 --> 00:07:28.233
and I remember those two.
00:07:28.596 --> 00:07:30.307
and then I kind of had like an affinity.
00:07:30.307 --> 00:07:37.927
It kind of, I liked Chimchar a lot, but it wasn't like a strong as like Charizard was or what Oshawott is now.
00:07:38.257 --> 00:07:42.197
But I remember playing those, I mean, I played every generation.
00:07:42.197 --> 00:07:43.646
I've played every one of them,
00:07:43.932 --> 00:07:47.651
Oh, so you've been consistent since FireRed, LeafGreen till present day.
00:07:47.682 --> 00:07:47.742
Yeah.
00:07:48.581 --> 00:07:49.451
Ooh, wow.
00:07:49.512 --> 00:07:50.201
Hey, I like that.
00:07:50.201 --> 00:07:50.951
Some dedication.
00:07:50.951 --> 00:07:51.521
I love it.
00:07:51.937 --> 00:07:52.076
Oh yeah!
00:07:53.406 --> 00:07:54.701
Well, let me ask you this question.
00:07:54.701 --> 00:07:58.987
What's your favorite, I'll say set of games or region that you enjoyed playing?
00:07:59.442 --> 00:08:00.043
man.
00:08:00.072 --> 00:08:02.028
Uh, Unova.
00:08:02.088 --> 00:08:03.617
Unova, Why Unova??
00:08:04.141 --> 00:08:11.598
Other than Oshawott is starters, It's mainly modeled after that New York and New Jersey and that area.
00:08:11.598 --> 00:08:18.767
But even Driftveil City, like I know it's supposed to be, you know, somewhere like I said New York, New Jersey.
00:08:18.767 --> 00:08:23.718
But it resonated with me'cause I'm from Texas, you know, so I got clay, you know, and.
00:08:24.548 --> 00:08:31.767
Got the, the oil guy, you know, and the, yeah, so it was That the Pokemon are just is really good.
00:08:31.817 --> 00:08:33.697
Hydreigon is like the good one.
00:08:33.697 --> 00:08:39.014
High Galvantula, Krookodile, like there's so many Pokemon.
00:08:39.315 --> 00:08:43.731
The story is good, I think it's probably the closest.
00:08:43.731 --> 00:08:50.111
to maybe an evil team being really bad other than Team Flare in sixth Gen.
00:08:50.201 --> 00:08:53.011
But that gen is just, I don't know, top tier to me.
00:08:53.496 --> 00:08:55.807
I guess you also stuck with the same Pokemon that ash pick.
00:08:55.807 --> 00:09:00.886
So you would do Levanny, Krookodile,, Roggenrola and stuff like that.
00:09:01.427 --> 00:09:03.467
Yeah, I I lot of Ash's Pokemon.
00:09:03.467 --> 00:09:14.248
But like thing that I noticed, when I got kind of older was the anime, like the English dub of it would wouldn't come out until after the games.
00:09:14.248 --> 00:09:15.268
We got the games.
00:09:15.732 --> 00:09:19.482
So my team would just be whatever I liked at the moment.
00:09:19.482 --> 00:09:32.202
And then when I played it again, yeah, of course I had some Ash's Pokemon, but a lot of my staples was the, bird, the Krookodile, Darmanitan, Oshawott, like some of those.
00:09:32.654 --> 00:09:36.794
Now when it came to Pokemon, how did it kind of help you find friends?
00:09:36.794 --> 00:09:39.735
Because I think you said you found friends online because of Pokemon.
00:09:40.207 --> 00:09:40.658
Okay.
00:09:40.893 --> 00:09:43.666
Yeah, so I had a friend, named, Ian.
00:09:43.666 --> 00:09:48.466
And we would play Pokemon together, but we'd have the cards and, know, we'd play the game.
00:09:48.466 --> 00:09:55.961
We'd talk about what our team, and he would be like, oh, I have this mythical, and then I'll let him borrow my game so he could put like Darkrai and stuff on it.
00:09:55.961 --> 00:10:00.071
And Jirachi, I still have his Jirachi still, I.
00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:00.760
Really?
00:10:00.765 --> 00:10:00.975
Okay.
00:10:01.211 --> 00:10:01.270
Uh,
00:10:01.495 --> 00:10:02.190
yeah.
00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:10.600
that, and then I think when HeartGold, Soul Silver came out, I think it kind of just died down for like making friends and I really, I.
00:10:11.086 --> 00:10:19.679
Didn't really make much friends, like meaningful friendships until like maybe college and then even then that kind of died down too.
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:26.940
But, really just how I maybe had friends now is just kind of the commonality of who you grow up with.
00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:29.429
The same things, we experience the same things.
00:10:29.696 --> 00:10:34.660
We're, we're, you know, we're We're still in the Pokemon, we're we're not know, badmouthing people.
00:10:35.145 --> 00:10:39.240
Like, you know, the bullies would do while we were in school.
00:10:39.706 --> 00:10:42.855
did you feel like you were alienated at some point because you liked Pokemon?
00:10:42.885 --> 00:10:42.975
'cause?
00:10:42.975 --> 00:10:50.035
You said like specifically around, I think you said platinum, is when you kind of felt like you didn't really have any friends to kind of go to, to have that Pokemon connection.
00:10:50.035 --> 00:10:50.635
If so, you will.
00:10:51.096 --> 00:10:51.419
yeah.
00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:52.799
Around like platinum time was, yeah.
00:10:53.034 --> 00:10:54.480
Really when it died down.
00:10:54.480 --> 00:11:01.440
And then you know, the boys was like, you know, they'd be interested in Call of Duty and, know, all the other shooter games.
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.960
And I, you know, I was like, okay, yeah, cool, I'll play that.
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:11.220
But at the same time, like I always was consistent with Pokemon, But you you know, sometimes game, I kind of didn't.
00:11:11.309 --> 00:11:14.320
I stopped playing it or I just restarted.
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.110
but Yeah, so yeah, it was around those times.
00:11:17.384 --> 00:11:18.884
that's pretty much similar to my way.
00:11:18.899 --> 00:11:24.090
'cause you know, I had friends and they were really good friends, don't get me wrong, but they were also into the, uh, shooting games.
00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:25.440
'cause Call of Duty was huge.
00:11:25.663 --> 00:11:26.893
halo was huge.
00:11:27.133 --> 00:11:29.832
But for me, you know, I was just so, I guess hyper.
00:11:30.123 --> 00:11:31.413
Infatuated with Pokemon.
00:11:31.413 --> 00:11:39.003
Like I would play the games over and over and over and it just was hard to find friends who would be that dedicated back in those days.
00:11:39.212 --> 00:11:42.722
So I, you know, they entertained me more so than they probably should have.
00:11:43.143 --> 00:11:50.535
But I kind of feel you to where I can feel alienating, where you don't have that friend to talk Pokemon with, you know, it's like a different language in a way.
00:11:50.798 --> 00:11:51.128
Right.
00:11:51.812 --> 00:11:52.503
Hey you.
00:11:52.893 --> 00:11:54.543
Yes, you with the ears.
00:11:54.842 --> 00:11:55.923
Don't go anywhere.
00:11:56.133 --> 00:11:57.332

00:11:58.923 --> 00:12:01.024

00:12:25.371 --> 00:12:31.427
I wanted to ask,'cause you said something about, so you said something interesting to me, how Pokemon taught you empathy, creativity, and friendship.
00:12:31.427 --> 00:12:34.427
And I was wondering, would you be willing to elaborate, like how Pokemon taught you that
00:12:34.976 --> 00:12:38.486
So kind of a little niche thing about me is I'm autistic.
00:12:38.517 --> 00:12:53.552
So kind of how I learn my social skills and kind of like I kind of learn how to talk to people and how to like be friendly and empathetic was through Pokemon, like, the anime and even the games teach you that Pokemon are our friends.
00:12:53.552 --> 00:12:57.577
You know, they're not tools, know, they love us.
00:12:57.605 --> 00:13:01.804
they like battling'cause it's kind of like a, a fast time for them.
00:13:02.231 --> 00:13:12.611
I I mean, I know the battling part kind of sounds bad obviously, but like, just kind of like how the characters interacted and how I kind of cared for my Pokemon when I was playing.
00:13:12.611 --> 00:13:14.371
Like, I would always treat them as like.
00:13:14.371 --> 00:13:15.241
royalty.
00:13:15.241 --> 00:13:21.481
Like, I would be like, oh, this is very this, you know, they'd get sad if I I wasn't there, kind of thing.
00:13:21.481 --> 00:13:24.902
So it gets kind of, I kind of treated them like as a pet, you know?
00:13:25.052 --> 00:13:26.552
But like with love, you know?
00:13:27.397 --> 00:13:31.951
Do you have like specific examples on how you would treat them with that kinda love that you're talking about?
00:13:32.461 --> 00:13:37.052
So in the older games you really couldn't do anything with a six gen.
00:13:37.052 --> 00:13:43.567
You could like give them like, Bathe them and give them like, uh, what is it, macarons, or was it the P puffs?
00:13:43.567 --> 00:13:44.018
That's right.
00:13:44.227 --> 00:13:44.437
Yeah.
00:13:44.437 --> 00:13:45.008
Pokey puffs.
00:13:45.008 --> 00:13:45.427
Yeah.
00:13:45.668 --> 00:13:53.677
That, and then like even now, and like Scarlet and Violet, you can give'em baths and the same thing, you know, sandwiches.
00:13:53.677 --> 00:13:55.357
And then even eighth gen, you know, with.
00:13:55.628 --> 00:13:57.158
Sword Shield curries.
00:13:57.937 --> 00:14:05.783
even even now, like been, it is, it's a lot more, like I, I'm a lot more expressive with the Pokemon and like when, how I took care of them mm-hmm.
00:14:06.187 --> 00:14:07.508
than it was back then.
00:14:07.508 --> 00:14:14.317
But back then, I mean, I would make sure they wouldn't faint or you know, I'd take'em to this Pokemon center, I'd heal twice.
00:14:14.347 --> 00:14:19.177
You know, everybody thinks that you heal twice, the friendship goes up, you know,
00:14:19.378 --> 00:14:19.668
Yeah.
00:14:19.717 --> 00:14:20.408
kind of thing.
00:14:20.947 --> 00:14:21.128
So,
00:14:21.258 --> 00:14:22.883
Yeah, I felt the same way.
00:14:22.913 --> 00:14:32.317
'cause whenever I would see my Pokemon, like almost about to faint or like in the or if they were already fainted, I would literally run to back to the Pokemon Center because I'm like, oh, they're hurt.
00:14:32.317 --> 00:14:33.307
I need to get'em healed.
00:14:33.517 --> 00:14:36.606
And just like you, I would treat'em like pets because to me they're fainted.
00:14:36.606 --> 00:14:38.256
I'm like, you gotta take care of'em in a way.
00:14:38.677 --> 00:14:40.567
So I really kind of resonate with that.
00:14:40.567 --> 00:14:41.527
I kind of relate for sure.
00:14:41.981 --> 00:14:42.272
Yeah,
00:14:43.081 --> 00:14:53.731
You know, you mentioned how Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Sword and Shield, or I guess more of the recent games you mentioned, how more of the recent games have different ways to connect with Pokemon than we did back growing up.
00:14:54.152 --> 00:15:01.381
Do you enjoy those new ways to kind of engage with Pokemon, like with the campgrounds, with the, like spreading the status with the brushes and all that?
00:15:01.993 --> 00:15:16.596
Yeah, I mean, even back on Pokemon Yellow, I'm bring this like, even the Pokemon following you mechanic is just, we all want, like a lot of fans wanted it and you kind of have as crawling about it, but it's not the same.
00:15:16.907 --> 00:15:21.832
You know, they're not really following you, all the way they kind of like fall back.
00:15:21.832 --> 00:15:25.222
But even then, I I like it because it's accurate.
00:15:25.222 --> 00:15:29.732
to how like the Pokemon would move or their speed, you Mm-hmm.
00:15:29.842 --> 00:15:30.732
So I like that part.
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:33.289
of it, you know, in the newer generations.
00:15:33.748 --> 00:15:36.927
Is there a particular character that kind of reflects who you are?
00:15:36.927 --> 00:15:40.768
You think, like you kind of look at that person and you're like, I'm kind of dislike you as a person.
00:15:41.222 --> 00:15:56.638
Uh, like a Pokemon character probably, Oshawott obviously that him, but like, um, geez, like I, I mean, I see, I see myself a lot of Ash and Brock kind of with the breeding aspect.
00:15:56.668 --> 00:15:57.868
'cause I love Masuda method.
00:15:57.868 --> 00:15:59.457
That's my favorite Shiny method.
00:15:59.457 --> 00:16:09.730
And so the breeding part, like, I don't know if this is like later part but, like I always, wanted to either be like a gym leader or like a Pokemon Breeder.
00:16:10.225 --> 00:16:20.268
And, like in the Pokemon world, because I feel like one I can, you know, make a Pokemon with good stats or whatever for Pokemon Who or trainers who want a battle.
00:16:20.268 --> 00:16:23.207
And then, you know, gym leader, you know, everybody wants to be a gym leader, you know,
00:16:23.501 --> 00:16:25.392
For me, I've always wanted to be a Pokemon breeder.
00:16:25.481 --> 00:16:28.721
I love like the idea of breeding moves to Pokemon.
00:16:29.111 --> 00:16:34.751
Um, back in gen three, I remember I tried so hard to get my Salamence to know hydro pump.
00:16:35.442 --> 00:16:41.914
Now you wouldn't want Salamence to know a special attack, but I just thought it was kind of cool to be able to, I think I had a chain breed or something like that.
00:16:41.914 --> 00:16:42.274
Can't remember.
00:16:42.274 --> 00:16:43.144
It was kind of complicated.
00:16:43.144 --> 00:16:46.144
Yeah, and it was just kind of cool to get that kind of move.
00:16:46.144 --> 00:16:47.554
It felt like it was something special.
00:16:47.825 --> 00:16:49.174
So for me, I definitely would be a breeder.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.939
00:00:02.987 --> 00:00:06.866
Um, uh, Umumph.
00:00:25.586 --> 00:00:30.277
Um, uh, Um, uh, umph uh uh uh uh.
00:00:45.798 --> 00:00:52.219
00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:55.728
00:00:55.728 --> 00:00:57.469
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.789
00:01:02.168 --> 00:01:04.248
00:01:04.710 --> 00:01:05.087
00:01:05.177 --> 00:01:06.046
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:07.400
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.631
00:01:12.631 --> 00:01:16.980
00:01:17.430 --> 00:01:23.194
00:01:23.634 --> 00:01:32.123
00:01:32.123 --> 00:01:35.304
00:01:35.334 --> 00:01:38.433
00:01:38.433 --> 00:01:46.661
00:01:46.691 --> 00:01:52.691
00:01:53.290 --> 00:02:01.691
00:02:02.153 --> 00:02:04.593
00:02:05.055 --> 00:02:09.496
00:02:13.998 --> 00:02:14.913
00:02:15.431 --> 00:02:21.222
00:02:22.151 --> 00:02:33.394
00:02:33.443 --> 00:02:41.878
