We stepped out of the car and we heard this man just calling for help from maybe 200 yards away. And we're like, what the heck is this guy's deal? And it's just an old man in a powered wheelchair. And he's in the mud and we're like oh fuck he's asking |
| 0:21.0 | for help he's stuck in the mud so we go push him out and in exchange for uh birding tips he says he'll |
| 0:26.6 | give us all these birding tips and oh nice tricks if uh we help him out but he was like very clear |
| 0:32.1 | that we couldn't tell his wife that he was found stuck in the mud yeah he was very adamant about that |
| 0:37.1 | he was like don't let her know that i got stuck in the mud. Yeah, he was very adamant about that. He was like, |

| 1:10.8 | animations all sorts of crazy transitions uh even the credits are super creative and I was just |
| 1:17.6 | like how did you learn that did you go to film school and he was like nope just YouTube tutorials |
