00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:37.800 Of Yeah, I think it would be difficult to travel 84 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.879 around either and leave the kids either have to. 85 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.720 Bring them or not have bring them and make maybe 86 00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:45.800 making part of the show. 87 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.240 As of the moment, we have a dog. Yeah, we 88 00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.759 have traveled with a dog and a cat at the 89 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.720 same time, same time, and the smallest trailer every. 90 00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:58.639 You could, you could teach a dog to do a 91 00:04:58.639 --> 00:04:59.480 lot of tricks, you know. 92 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.639 Yeah, yeah, I thought Davidson tricks. 93 00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:07.600 Yeah, okay, all right, well, yeah, I've interviewed a lot 94 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.319 of entertainers throughout the years, and it's always interesting to 95 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:12.000 hear what they have to say about their kids. Now 96 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.000 I'm going to ask you all about your parents. What 97 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.160 do your parents think of this? 98 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.040 Uh? 99 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:23.120 You know, I guess my parents were hesitant at first, 100 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:27.600 They're like, you know, get a real job, But I 101 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.480 guess once they saw what I was doing, and you know, 102 00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.800 it's been a lot of investing into what we do. 103 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.360 So some people don't really understand. 104 00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.680 Yeah, so and they think it's you know, not important 105 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.439 to invest into the what we do. But you know, 106 00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.160 we have now since grown and I think that you know, 107 00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.399 his family is more open to it now. But as 108 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.800 for me as a kid, my parents put me into 109 00:05:58.800 --> 00:05:59.519 circus school. 110 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:02.079 I begged them to take. 111 00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:03.600 Me to a class. I saw a video of a 112 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.199 girl doing aerial silks as a kid, and I was like, please, 113 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.839 let me go to this aerial circus school. And they 114 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.480 were like, it's kind of expensive. And I was like, well, 115 00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.560 if I can make the money, will you let me go? 116 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.720 And they were like, if you can make three hundred bucks, 117 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.240 do it. And I sold cookies around the neighborhood and 118 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.120 I made three hundred dollars and let me go to 119 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:29.199 circus school. And from there it's history. 120 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.879 Oh that's cool, all right, go ahead. 121 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.279 Sure. When they when they met me, I was working 122 00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:41.279 for a YouTuber in Austin, Texas, and I just decided 123 00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.720 that I was kind of shut out and then I, uh, 124 00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:52.720 I just decided to stop doing that and explore some 125 00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.720 other opportunities. And this was the opportunity that was the 126 00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.319 most obvious to me. So I think my parents, you know, 127 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:07.480 we're more used to me making kind of crazy life 128 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.639 decisions perhaps, you know, And and it's charting a past 129 00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.199 that others might not chart. So I don't think that 130 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:19.199 they were surprised. And some are somewhere between, you know, 131 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.120 not supportive and supportives like they're they're just they're on 132 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:24.800 the fence. They're happy to see me doing something that 133 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:25.720 is enjoyable. 134 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.680 So you know, Okay, so none of you have any 135 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.199 kids at all, so that's interesting. 136 00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.800 We're open to the idea, not the three of us. 137 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.399 But that would be interesting. Yeah, that would be interesting. 138 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:41.680 That's the twist. 139 00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.040 Okay. So do you do your own booking?
