[0:01] Amy Daniels: Welcome back to the Kitten & Clucky Podcast.
[0:03] Amy Daniels: If you missed our last episode, Unexpected Spark, you may want to check that out first before jumping into this episode.
[0:10] Amy Daniels: Kitten, meow, meow, and Clucky, quack, quack, are two best friends, trying to make sense of the world around them. Adventures and discoveries around every bend. Come along and explore with them.
[0:32] Amy Daniels: Season 4, Episode 2. Ready, Set, Go!
[0:38] Amy Daniels: Now let's get caught up with our crew. Has Tatum's prediction come true? Did the winds change? Will the family evacuate? How do you evacuate chickens?
[0:49] Clucky: Oh, what is it? Oh, I'm smelling so much smoke.
[0:55] Clucky: Oh, the wind is just blowing it through the window. I wish I could close it.
[1:02] Chip the Chipmunk: What is that noise? Hello again, old Doombringer. Is all this smoke your handiwork?
[1:08] Clucky: What? Oh, it is you. Chip the Chipmunk. I see you have finally returned. Why didn't you come back this spring?
[1:15] Chip the Chipmunk: I have not seen you all summer. I thought you were going to come back and help me get out of this cage.
[1:24] Chip the Chipmunk: I did come back once, when the snow was starting to melt. I was able to drop a whole branch of snow on the cat. She was totally soaked. Did you hear about that?
[1:34] Clucky: Oh, that was you? Yes, I did hear about that. She complained the whole time while she was drying off. Nice work.
[1:42] Chip the Chipmunk: Thank you. I've also tried to stop by a few times when the weather got warmer, but the window is always closed. Why is that?
[1:49] Clucky: Ugh. The humans put a new door that opens on its own upstairs, and the kitten uses that most of the time.
[1:56] Chip the Chipmunk: You are right. The human does not open the window very often anymore. All right. You are forgiven.
[2:03] Clucky: Oh, the blasted smoke.
[2:07] Chip the Chipmunk: I agree. And it's only getting worse. Are you the cause of this? Is it part of your revolution?
[2:14] Clucky: Me? No. Although it may have worked to help me finally escape in my imprisonment.
[2:21] Chip the Chipmunk: If you didn't cause it, then who did?
[2:24] Clucky: Some careless human from what I've heard. There were some humans playing with these things called fireworks in these hot, dry conditions, and it started a fire.
[2:34] Chip the Chipmunk: Although, I thought that was about a week ago. I wonder how it got so bad.
[2:39] Clucky: I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with all the wind. It is bad out there. My whole family is leaving. I just stopped in to see if I could grab some food before we head out. Is that cat around?
[2:52] Chip the Chipmunk: No, the cat is probably off with her bird brain friends. Off with herself to her food.
[2:57] Clucky: Thanks. All right. Cheeks are packed. How about you climb up here and open my cage? I could follow you and your family out of here.
[3:12] Chip the Chipmunk: Is that your human? I've got to go.
[3:15] Clucky: No, wait. Come back.
[3:18] Chip the Chipmunk: Squeak, squeak, squeak. Rubix, are you okay? What was that? Was that... Was there an animal leaving? Are you scaring it away?
[3:27] Rubix: Squeakity, squeak, squeakum. Of course not, you interrupting human. You have foiled my plans and let my chance for freedom run out the window.
[3:37] Clucky: Oh, Rubix, you are really upset.
[3:40] Rubix: Of course I'm upset. You inadvertently foiled me again.
[3:46] Clucky: Oh, no. Are you coughing from all the smoke? Come on. Let's get you packed up in your travel cage. I'm so sorry, but your big habitat is too big for the cars. Mom and Dad are not sure how we are going to fit all the pets and people in the two cars we have.
[4:01] Rubix: No, I am not going. Stay back.
[4:05] Clucky: Whoa, that was a close one. Come on, Rubix. I know you don't like your travel cage, but it's not safe to stay here. I need you to get in here. I put in fresh fluff and your favorite seeds in there. Look, there's a whole dish of them.
[4:19] Rubix: Stop that traitorous stomach. Don't you remember how small that travel cage was?
[4:25] Clucky: Come on, Rubix. You know you want a treat.
[4:29] Rubix: No, I will not be controlled by your stomach. I'm going into my house. We have a snack or two stashed in there. You can eat that. Don't complain.
[4:41] Clucky: No, Rubix. Don't clean your house.
[4:44] Rubix: Okay, fine. I'll just move your house in as well.
[4:47] Clucky: Squeak. Wait, what? No. Maybe I can leave from the door of the house and escape.
[4:53] Rubix: Oh, my. It's pretty high. Whoa, the house is moving.
[4:58] Clucky: Zeddy, you can do this. Careful, Rubix. Don't fall out of your house. I've almost got to the travel cage. Here I go. Geronimo!
[5:08] Rubix: Ah! Oh, wait. What is this? I landed in fluff.
[5:13] Clucky: Whew, glad I caught you. Glad I had the travel cage open and you landed in the fluff. Are you okay?
[5:19] Rubix: No. Foiled again. Squeak.
[5:23] Clucky: You'll be okay. Just relax and rest in there. Maddox, are you ready? Did you get Rubix secured?
[5:31] Xander: Hey, Xander. I just got her in. She almost leapt from her house, but I caught her in the cage.
[5:36] Maddox: Nice. I got Brownie already. No need to catch him in his cage. Let me pick him up.
[5:42] Xander: I tried that with Rubix, but she snapped at me. Hey, Brown-Brown. How are you? Do you think you could teach Rubix some manners?
[5:49] Brownie: Oh, are you talking to me, Squeak? Are you looking for food?
[5:56] Xander: He's always looking for food. Did you grab the bag of food and treats? Mom and Dad do not know how long we have to leave for.
[6:04] Brownie: Yep. I've got that here in this bag. We had better get going. Any sign of Kitten yet?
[6:10] Xander: No. I thought I saw an animal dash out the window when I entered the room, but I think it was Brown. It was not Kitten. She would not run away when I come in. Wonder what it was.
[6:20] Brownie: I wish I knew. I also wish Kitten was up here. She's probably down with the chickens. Come on. Mom and Dad are waiting in the garage to pack up the hamsters in the car. Then we're going to head down and get the chickens. I'm sure we'll see Kitten there.
[6:35] Xander: I hope you are right. I'm going to leave her window open just in case.
[6:48] Clucky: Whoa, this wind is crazy. I hope Clucky and the hens are okay. Yikes! Branch just came out of nowhere. Just a little bit further and I'll make it down to the coop.
[6:59] Clucky: Clucky, are you guys okay down here? Watch out for flying debris.
[7:04] Kitten: Kitten, it's great to see you. It's so windy. What's going on?
[7:09] Clucky: Feels like hurricane level winds. I thought we didn't get hurricanes in Washington.
[7:14] Kitten: It really does feel like it, doesn't it, Clucky? But no, it's far too dry for a hurricane. And they definitely don't get hurricanes in Washington. If they did get a hurricane in Washington, it would be called a typhoon.
[7:26] Clucky: Oh my, Kitten, you're so brave to venture down. You've got some leaves or something caught in your fur.
[7:33] Kitten: Oh gosh, this wind is terrible today. And I was coming down the path and all sorts of stuff was flying around. I'm not surprised that I have leaves stuck on me. I'm just happy I didn't get blown off the path.
[7:44] Clucky: It's not just windy, I can barely see anything. Is this smoke or are we in a cloud again?
[7:50] Kitten: I think it's smoke, Bella. I think the wind has shifted as Tatum predicted. And it's pushing the smoke towards us.
[7:57] Clucky: I hope it doesn't mean the fire is being pushed back towards us.
[8:01] Kitten: Chances are it is, Kitten. This wind is so strong that the embers will definitely blow into a different direction and could catch on stuff that hasn't burned yet.
[8:09] Clucky: Watch out! There goes another branch!
[8:12] Kitten: Whoa, that was a close one. Oh no! Ouch! What was that?
[8:19] Clucky: I don't know. I just saw a blur of blue and black.
[8:22] Victoria Beckham: It is I, Victoria Beckham.
[8:25] Kitten: Victoria, my fellow Brit! Darling, how are you? What are you doing here?
[8:30] Victoria Beckham: Literally blown off course. What are you all still doing here?
[8:35] Clucky: What do you mean?
[8:37] Victoria Beckham: The fire has changed direction and is now headed towards this area.
[8:42] Kitten: What? Oh no! Brock! Yeah? No!
[8:45] Clucky: What?
[8:46] Victoria Beckham: I knew I should have left with Pharrell. This is ridiculous. Why aren't we evacuating?
[8:51] Kitten: I think they're packing up at the house. I heard a bunch of commotion, but I wanted to come down and check on you here.
[8:57] Victoria Beckham: Well, I certainly hope for all your sake that they make haste.
[9:02] Clucky: Why do you want them to make waste? There's no time for trash right now.
[9:06] Victoria Beckham: Make haste, Clucky, as in hurry up! It's a British thing, Clucky. The whole forest is moving out. This wind is making it very difficult to go to my intended path, though. I'm hoping to meet up with the rest of my stellar jay friends. These winds are incredibly strong and the smoke is dreadful for my voice.
[9:28] Victoria Beckham: This girl is on fire!
[9:36] Clucky: Oh wow, you're right, Victoria. I feel like it is more difficult to breathe down here. You don't think the family is going to leave and forget about us, do you?
[9:45] Kitten: Of course not. Of course not. Xander would never abandon us like that. Where do you think we'll go? Where does one go during an evacuation?
[9:56] Clucky: Oh no, we'll be homeless! I'm sure the family has a plan in place. Maybe we'll stay somewhere in town.
[10:04] Kitten: And how will we get there? Maybe we'll be back in the cages like when we moved from Florida.
[10:09] Clucky: But they don't have the truck anymore. You traveled in a really big cage. I don't think they'll be able to pack that cage again.
[10:16] Kitten: The problem was depending on humans for evacuation.
[10:19] Victoria Beckham: Well, I must be off. This wind is making travel much more challenging, so I must allow myself extra time to get to my rendezvous point.
[10:28] Clucky: You're meeting with rat kangaroos?
[10:30] Victoria Beckham: Rat kangaroo? No. Why would you think I'd be doing that? What is a rat kangaroo anyway?
[10:37] Clucky: I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me.
[10:40] Victoria Beckham: You are a strange bird. Victoria, I believe Clucky misheard you when you said rendezvous. He does that often.
[10:47] Clucky: Rendezvous is another word for meeting in a specific place and time.
[10:50] Victoria Beckham: Do they have rat kangaroos there?
[10:52] Clucky: Pretty sure that's a no.
[10:54] Victoria Beckham: That's a shame. It would have been interesting to see a rat kangaroo. I wonder if it's more of a rat or more of a kangaroo. Like a small little mini kangaroo, or like a giant rat that jumps around.
[11:06] Clucky: I think you'll have to go to Australia to find out.
[11:10] Victoria Beckham: Or at the very least get a book about Australian animals.
[11:13] Clucky: Why would you go all the way to Australia?
[11:16] Victoria Beckham: That's where you find kangaroos. And I'm assuming that rat kangaroos would also be there.
[11:22] Clucky: I think I hear a calling for the next KFC adventure.
[11:26] Victoria Beckham: KFC? What's that?
[11:29] Clucky: Kitten for Rail and Clucky.
[11:32] Victoria Beckham: Is that the beast that tried to feed me to Kitten last time?
[11:36] Clucky: The one and only.
[11:38] Victoria Beckham: Ah, well then I'll definitely be off now. Wouldn't want to run into that scoundrel again. Farewell fellow avian friends and feline. Don't get caught in the fire now. I wish you all good health.
[11:52] Kitten: Well that was an unexpected visit. But she definitely has me worried. Why do you suppose Xander hasn't been down here to get us all evacuated?
[12:01] Clucky: Maybe I should head back up and see what's going on.
[12:04] Kitten: Oh please do so, Kitten.
[12:12] Maddox: Mom, we brought you the hamsters.
[12:15] Mom: Oh good, thanks kids. We've got a spot for their travel cages in the back of the trunk of my car. Man, I wish we still had the van. It had so much more space.
[12:24] Maddox: Are we going to be able to fit all the pets, us, and all the stuff we need in two vehicles?
[12:29] Mom: We have to. This is all the space we have.
[12:32] Maddox: But Dad, where are we going to put the chickens? When we drove from Florida we had a big truck to put the crate in the back.
[12:38] Mom: It won't fit in Mom's car or your SUV. What are we going to do? I'm not leaving the chickens.
[12:43] Maddox: Oh no, we can't leave the chickens. They're family too.
[12:46] Mom: Calm down you two. I have a plan. See the tarp in the place where the foot space is in the back of Dad's SUV?
[12:53] Maddox: The chickens are going to ride there.
[12:55] Mom: How? There's no way that they're going to stay in that small space. They're going to be flying around the SUV.
[12:59] Maddox: I'm pretty sure that's not safe for driving.
[13:03] Mom: Ha! No, that would not be safe. Don't worry, your mom has a plan. She just explained it to me. We are going to make chicken burritos.
[13:12] Maddox: What? No, I will not eat my chickens. Wait, has the fire already reached them? Are we too late? Have they been cooked?
[13:21] Mom: No, no, no, no. Calm down. Let me explain what your dad means. The chickens are fine. The fire is getting close, but it's still several miles away. We need to hurry and get them secured, but no one is planning on eating them.
[13:33] Maddox: Then what did he mean by burritos?
[13:36] Mom: Remember that roll of moving wrap we had left over after our move?
[13:49] Amy Daniels: I'm going to have you hold the chickens while I wrap them up in the plastic wrap. It's stretchy and it will cling to itself, but it will not stick to the chickens. It will hold their wings and feet secure so they can't move. I don't think they'll like not being able to move. It won't be for too long and you're right. We can't have them flapping around in the car while I'm driving. So we're only going to wrap their feet and wings down and it won't hurt them? That's the plan. Now, we've never done this before, so it might take a couple of attempts to get it right. Xander, I'll need you to hold them and keep them calm while I wrap them up. Okay, now I see what you mean by chicken burrito. We've got everything else packed up.
The last thing we need to do is go down and wrap up the chickens. We wanted to be sure that we were ready to leave as soon as we had the chickens secure because we don't want them to be burrito-wrapped any longer than necessary. Everything else is packed up.
[14:37] Xander Daniels: Not everything. We don't have Kitten or Rosie in the vehicles yet. Rosie's and Kitten's travel crates are already in the vehicles next to each other. We just need to put them in once we load up the chickens.
[14:47] Maddox Daniels: We can't, Dad! I don't know where Kitten is! I let her out this morning and she has not come back in through her window. I have called for her, but nothing! I'm so worried.
[15:00] Amy Daniels: It's going to be okay, Maddox. Kitten is probably down with the chickens. You know how she likes to hang out down there.
[15:04] Maddox Daniels: But what if she's not?
[15:06] Amy Daniels: Well, we will leave her window open and fill the bathtub up with water. That way she can come back in and have a safe place to stay if the fire does come up here.
[15:14] Maddox Daniels: You mean we might have to leave without her?
[15:16] Amy Daniels: We're going to do everything we can to find her, but we need to hurry. We have been at a level one alert for the last week because of the fire.
[15:23] Xander Daniels: Level one alert? What's that?
[15:25] Amy Daniels: It means be ready and be alert. We have been watching the fire activity this whole time and also talking about what we might need to do in case we need to evacuate.
[15:35] Xander Daniels: What comes next?
[15:36] Amy Daniels: Level two?
[15:37] Xander Daniels: Yep.
[15:38] Amy Daniels: That means get your things packed up and ready to go. The fire could be a real threat to your area and you could be told to leave very soon. Our area was switched to level two this morning. With all the winds last night and today, the fire has picked up and changed directions.
[15:52] Maddox Daniels: Oh, why can't it just rain already? I thought Washington was famous for its rain.
[16:00] Amy Daniels: It does get a lot of rain, but not in the summer.
[16:02] Maddox Daniels: But it is not summer, it's fall.
[16:05] Amy Daniels: It's the beginning of October.
[16:07] Maddox Daniels: You are right. Usually the rainy season comes in September, but this year it has not come yet. We can't make it rain, so come on. Let's go get the chickens and hopefully kittens so we can head out. If these winds keep up, I don't think we'll have long till they move us to level three.
[16:21] Xander Daniels: What's level three?
[16:23] Amy Daniels: Go now.
[16:24] Maddox Daniels: I wonder what's taking Kitten so long to come back with an update?
[16:42] Piper: Well, it's super windy out. Maybe it's taking her longer to get up to the house.
[16:46] Clucky: Incoming!
[16:47] Piper: Ah! Get out of the way!
[16:49] Clucky: Oh no! Not again!
[16:51] Piper: Hey Pipes, watch out for...
[16:52] Clucky: Ah!
[16:53] Piper: Piper!
[16:54] Clucky: Clucky! You guys okay?
[16:56] Piper: Oh gosh, sorry Clucky. I didn't mean to fly into you again. Are you okay?
[16:59] Clucky: Isn't that kind of the standard landing?
[17:00] Piper: Aw, Piper. You're so cute.
[17:02] Clucky: You're so cute.
[17:03] Piper: You're so cute.
[17:04] Clucky: You're so cute.
[17:05] Piper: You're so cute.
[17:06] Clucky: You're so cute.
[17:07] Piper: You're so cute.
[17:08] Clucky: You're so cute.
[17:09] Piper: You're so cute.
[17:10] Clucky: You're so cute.
[17:11] Piper: You're so cute.
[17:12] Clucky: Oh Piper, you know I don't mind being your landing pad. I'll catch you anytime.
[17:18] Piper: Oh Clucky, aw, aren't you the sweetest?
[17:22] Clucky: One of these days I'm going to have a smooth landing. The winds today are crazy though.
[17:27] Piper: And the sky is this eerie gray and orangey kind of color. And the smoke is terrible.
[17:33] Clucky: Yes, the smoke seems to be getting worse. And the wind has really picked up.
[17:40] Piper: We're waiting on Kitten to come back and report on whether we're being evacuated. Pipes insisted that we come by and say goodbye because we're evacuating too.
[17:49] Clucky: Don't you spend most of your time in and around water?
[17:53] Piper: Yes, but even the areas around the lake are getting super smoky. We didn't want to worry about getting stuck here or getting caught in the fire.
[18:01] Clucky: I would guess that you'll be heading out soon. I can't imagine that your family will be sticking around.
[18:08] Piper: Even from air, the smoke is so dense that we had a hard time pinpointing where the coop was exactly. That's another reason for the crash. And while the wind isn't making flying easy either.
[18:22] Clucky: Pipes and I and the rest of our squadron have decided to head out to Florida early. We're migrating early because of the fire. No point sticking around.
[18:30] Brigitte: Has the whole forest gone around us?
[18:33] Piper: No Brigitte, it's not that bad yet. We've seen much worse flying across the country. Forest fires can really devastate an area, but this one isn't that bad. Hopefully it'll rain soon.
[18:45] Clucky: Piper, Bruce, is that you?
[18:52] Piper: Hey kitten, I was afraid we wouldn't get a chance to say goodbye to you.
[18:56] Clucky: Goodbye? Isn't it early to be migrating?
[19:00] Piper: We're heading out early because of the fire. Pipes wanted to swing by and say goodbye to you all though. Hopefully we'll see you next year when we get back.
[19:08] Clucky: Hey kitten, did you find out if we're evacuating yet?
[19:11] Kitten: No Clucky, actually I didn't get too far. The winds are so strong it's difficult for me to get up the hill with all the debris coming down. Then I thought I heard Piper's voice so it was actually much faster to come back here. I'm glad I came back so I didn't miss seeing Piper and Bruce.
[19:27] Piper: Well, we really should be heading out. We don't want to fall too far behind our squadron. Especially with the visibility being so bad.
[19:35] Clucky: We just wanted to pop in and say goodbye and hope to see you in the spring.
[19:39] Piper: Stay safe my friends, we'll miss you.
[19:42] Clucky: Always a pleasure, Piper, Bruce.
[19:45] Piper: Keep Pipes safe, okay? She's my favorite pelican.
[19:49] Bruce: For sure, bro. You keep those hens safe.
[19:52] Clucky: This fire and wind is getting messy so I hope you guys get out soon.
[19:56] Piper: Pipes, we good to rock and roll?
[19:58] Clucky: Oh Clucky, you're my favorite rooster. You stay safe too.
[20:02] Piper: Hens and kitten, take care everyone. Bye.
[20:06] Clucky: Bye bye Washington bros.
[20:10] Maddox Daniels: Did he just call us bros?
[20:12] Clucky: Bye Piper, bye Bruce.
[20:14] Piper: Goodbye.
[20:15] Clucky: Cheerio. See you in the spring.
[20:17] Piper: Have a safe trip to Florida.
[20:19] Maddox Daniels: It's always nice to have a visit from Piper.
[20:22] Clucky: I'm getting more worried about this fire if Piper and Bruce are migrating early.
[20:28] Maddox Daniels: I think I hear the family coming down.
[20:30] Clucky: Maybe they have some news about evacuating.
[20:32] Piper: Well, it's about time. It seems like everyone is leaving except for us.
[20:38] Clucky: Here they come.
[20:43] Xander Daniels: What's that thing the dad person is pushing?
[20:45] Maddox Daniels: It's got a wheel in the front of a big open container and maybe handles on the back?
[20:51] Clucky: It's a wheelbarrow. They use it when they bring down the hay to change out the bedding in our coop.
[20:56] Maddox Daniels: That's strange. It's empty. Why would they bring it down here without anything in it?
[21:01] Clucky: Maybe they're planning on loading up something, like your food.
[21:05] Maddox Daniels: Alright, we can't leave that.
[21:07] Clucky: Oh, I hope they're packing the mealworm treats too. All this evacuating talk has made me hungry.
[21:13] Maddox Daniels: You're always hungry.
[21:15] Clucky: True, but treats make everything better.
[21:18] Amy Daniels: Oh kitten, there you are. I'm so glad you're down here. I was so worried.
[21:23] Kitten: Meow?
[21:24] Amy Daniels: Here, let me get you off the coop. Wow, you have stuff all over in your fur. Is that from the wind?
[21:30] Kitten: Meow.
[21:31] Amy Daniels: See, nothing to worry about. Kitten is here and you can take her up to the house. Why don't you do that now so she won't be in the way while we wrap up the chickens.
[21:40] Xander Daniels: Okay mom. Come on kitten, let's go back up to the house and find Rosie.
[21:46] Amy Daniels: Hey chickens, time to go.
[21:48] Clucky: Come here Clucky, I need you to be a good leader and show the ladies what we need them to do.
[21:54] Clucky: Quack, quack. Sir Cluckington reporting for duty.
[21:59] Amy Daniels: Good job, now I'm going to pick you up and tuck your wings down and your feet up. Xander, can you hold him out towards me?
[22:05] Clucky: Quack?
[22:06] Maddox Daniels: What is happening back there?
[22:08] Clucky: It looks like she has some sort of clear plastic on her roll.
[22:11] Maddox Daniels: Quack?
[22:12] Clucky: Quack, what are they doing?
[22:14] Maddox Daniels: Quack, it looks like they are wrapping Clucky up in it.
[22:17] Clucky: It's going around his middle.
[22:19] Maddox Daniels: It appears to be holding down his wings and feet, almost like a spider wraps up a fly in his web.
[22:24] Clucky: Quack, quack, quack.
[22:26] Maddox Daniels: Why do you think they are doing that?
[22:28] Clucky: You are doing a great job Clucky, mom's almost done.
[22:32] Amy Daniels: It's like a hug that does not stop.
[22:34] Clucky: I like hugs, but I'm not sure I like the fact that I can only move my head and tail feathers.
[22:38] Maddox Daniels: Quack, quack.
[22:43] Amy Daniels: Alright, I think that'll do. Looking good Clucky, now I'm going to set you in the wheelbarrow.
[22:49] Clucky: I left a few worms in there for you.
[22:51] Maddox Daniels: Worms?
[22:52] Clucky: Brock?
[22:53] Maddox Daniels: Oh, I can't move my wings and legs, but I can stretch my neck. Ooh, I can reach them. Yum.
[22:59] Amy Daniels: Great, one down and three to go. Hey ladies, can I pick one of you up?
[23:03] Clucky: Ooh, me. He is very handsome, don't you think?
[23:06] Maddox Daniels: Brock?
[23:07] Amy Daniels: Gotcha. You are Brigitte. Your feathers are looking a little ruffled from the wind. We'll get you out of it and safe in the car.
[23:14] Brigitte: Oh my, he has very strong hands.
[23:16] Clucky: Brock, brock.
[23:18] Brigitte: Brock, really?
[23:19] Clucky: Brigitte, he is a human and we are being evacuated for a fire?
[23:23] Brigitte: Exactly. We must enjoy every moment we have. You never know where life will take you.
[23:28] Clucky: Brock.
[23:33] Amy Daniels: Good job Brigitte. You're so calm. We were able to wrap you up so quick.
[23:38] Amy Daniels: Ladies, don't make a fuss.
[23:40] Clucky: Brock, lady.
[23:42] Amy Daniels: There you go, next to Clucky.
[23:44] Clucky: Oh, Clucky, you left some worms for me.
[23:47] Maddox Daniels: No I didn't, but my neck can't stretch that far.
[23:50] Amy Daniels: Come on Bella, you're next.
[23:52] Maddox Daniels: Brock, whoa, not too fast.
[23:59] Amy Daniels: We're getting really quick at this. How are they doing over there in the wheelbarrow?
[24:03] Clucky: Are they able to move?
[24:04] Maddox Daniels: Nope, all good over here. This looks like it should hold them.
[24:08] Amy Daniels: All secure, Bella. Into the wheelbarrow with you.
[24:12] Bella: Oof, a little gentler please.
[24:15] Amy Daniels: Time is of the essence, Bella. Can't you see how worried the mom and dad person look?
[24:20] Maddox Daniels: Alright, Brigitte. You are the last one.
[24:23] Amy Daniels: Brock, last but not least.
[24:25] Brigitte: Oh, Brigitte, you were right. He does have big strong hands.
[24:29] Maddox Daniels: Mom, dad, where are we going?
[24:31] Amy Daniels: We are about to leave and I just realized I have no idea where we're going. Is there a hotel that will let us bring a dog, a cat, and hamsters and chickens?
[24:41] Amy Daniels: No, not that I've heard of. However, hotels in Florida did make exceptions for pets when we had to evacuate for a hurricane with the dogs a few years ago. However, we did not have chickens or kitten at that point.
[24:53] Maddox Daniels: Are you saying that we don't have any place to go? Will we be living in the car?
[25:00] Amy Daniels: No, that's not what I'm saying. All set, Brigitte. You can put her in with the others.
[25:04] Amy Daniels: There you go, all cozy in the wheelbarrow. Let's set up. We're going to Grandma and Grandpa's farm. They only live two hours south, so we will be able to stay there for as long as we need to. Grandma's even clearing out a horse stall for the chickens to stay in.
[25:18] Maddox Daniels: Oh good, I did not want to sleep in the car.
[25:20] Clucky: What's that?
[25:22] Maddox Daniels: It's the alert on our phones.
[25:24] Amy Daniels: They have upgraded our evacuation status from two to three.
[25:27] Xander Daniels: What does that mean again?
[25:29] Amy Daniels: Leave now, just in time. We've got everyone ready. Let's move.
[25:34] Maddox Daniels: Oh no, what will happen next? Will they escape from the fire? How long will they be gone? Will they be able to go back? Will Clucky run out of food?
[25:46] Clucky: Ha, now he eats bugs.
