0:00 You know what?
0:00 Fun fact, right?
0:02 If all of the kangaroos in Australia were to invade Uruguay,
0:06 every Uruguayan would need to fight off 14 kangaroos.
0:11 No.
0:11 How crazy.
0:11 Like, you know, when they're like that.
0:13 We once went when I was like a lot lot younger, we went to South Africa.
0:18 Granddad had a heart attack on a cruise.
0:20 He had to be airlifted to the nearest bit of land, which was South Africa.
0:24 We were all told he's going to go.
0:26 So, we flew out to be like, "Oh, God." And then he didn't go.
0:30 He went on to live for another 25 years.
0:33 Anyway, we were in South Africa and like on one of the days we were like,
0:36 let's let's take him out in his wheelchair.
0:38 So, we went to this place called Cape of Good Hope,
0:39 which is really densely populated by baboons.
0:42 We're in this minivan.
0:43 The tour guide's like, "Go out, take some pictures.
0:46 Whatever you do, do not get any food." We go out.
0:49 I can remember my mom being like, "Well, this is nice.
0:51 Should we get some crisps?" And I was like,
0:53 I think I was like seven and I was like,
0:55 "But mom, the tour guide said don't get food." food.
0:57 She was like, "No, he didn't." Bought a packet of crisps and I kid you not,
1:01 about 20 baboons started chasing us.
1:03 I have such a core memory of my mom and I racing back
1:07 to this minivan where my grandpa was just like in a in a wheelchair,
1:12 not even like aware of where he was.
1:14 My mom jumped onto the minivan first, slid the door across,
1:18 leaving me outside bagging on the van with 20 baboons just like jumping on me.
1:23 It was like I'm I should be in therapy.
