| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, hi, hello, it is me, Allison Rosen, welcome to another episode of Allison Rosen's |
| 0:28.0 | Unibest Friend. I'm sitting here with someone that I wanted to have on the show for a long time, Natalie Coglin, |
| 0:35.1 | Olympic swimmer, author, fundraiser, TV person sometimes. Person who has chickens, is that true? I do. I have |
| 0:44.3 | currently seven chickens. I want chickens. I had chickens when I was growing up, but I want them now as an adult. |
| 0:51.2 | They're so easy. I mean, here you don't have as much space as I do up in the bear. Yeah, but |
| 0:56.7 | the chickens in an apartment would be ideal. Yeah, they tend to shit everywhere. So you don't want that. |
| 1:02.4 | But they're so easy as long as you make sure they don't get eaten by raccoon, like you're good. Have |
| 1:07.1 | you lost some this way? I have. It was a really sad one. It was completely protected, but on |
| 1:14.3 | Mother's Day two, Mother's Days ago, and I actually host Mother's Day for both my family and my |

| 1:40.9 | I do. I do. I do. The first three were after true blood. I only have one remaining. That one's |
| 1:51.3 | Tara, and she's the one that I really don't like. Then I have five named after saved by the bell. |
| 1:57.7 | Oh, amazing. Yes. I have a Zach Kelly, Jesse, Turtle, and Slater. No Screech. No Screech. |
| 2:05.5 | She's left out. Then I have one other that it's pretty funny. I don't know how much you know |
| 2:11.2 | about chickens, but if you... Like a moderate amount? Yeah. The term pecking order comes from chickens. |
| 2:18.0 | They establish their pecking order really early. When you get new flocks, it's really difficult. |
| 2:22.9 | They could get cannibalistic. They could attack each other. One day I go out and I go check on the |
| 2:28.1 | chickens. One was out of the coop, and I have a really large coop, and it was in the green belt |
| 2:34.3 | behind my house. I had to hop the fence. I tore my favorite jeans doing so caught this damn chicken. |
| 2:40.8 | I thought it was Tara through her into the coop. It was an errant chicken. I have no idea where |
