I'm here to talk to you for a moment.
All right. I'm just going to sit right here.
You guys might be questioning where I am and what's happening right now.
I'm sitting on Phantom 100's front doorstep because I'm about to knock on his door and go into his house. But before I did that, I wanted to start the live stream and just let you guys know that I've been kind of sad recently. So, I came over to Phantom's house and I got a new member of the Taking Back 2007 family that I'd like to share with all of you guys and I'd like to share with you all what I got. It's the biggest It's the biggest animal by a far margin for Taking Back 2007.
It'll be bigger than me.
Bigger than me.
And so we're just going to go knock on his door and we're going to go into Phantom's house and we're going to show him what we got first before anything.
Let it be known that I did not call Phantom. I did not text Phantom.
I did not do anything. I'm just randomly showing up at Phantom's house right now.
Heart. Heart. Heart. I'm randomly showing up at his house. And then at the end of this, for the very finale, once I randomly show up with an exotic animal inside of his house and he doesn't know about this, by the way. He has no idea about any of this. He has no idea that I'm even here right now.
Jared Leto. There's no Jared Leto.
There's no Jared Leto. Um at the end of this, if you guys stick around until the end, Dev. Heart. Heart. Uh at the end of this stream Heart. Heart. At the end of the stream, I will be auctioning Heart.
Heart. At the end of the stream, I will be auctioning off the ability for you guys to name the new member of Taking Back 2007.
Um so, if you guys would like to see the new creature that I got, let's go bother Phantom first and let's just show up randomly. We're just at his house. I have not gone in his house. I have not said hello yet. He doesn't know I'm here. We're just showing up. We're going to show him what we got for a surprise.
And then at the end of the stream, you guys get to bid upon who gets to name the surprise. And I'll seriously name it whatever you guys want. Whoever the highest donator at the end of this stream is, starting right now until the very end, you will get to name the animal whatever you want.
Anything. God, I'm afraid. All right, guys. Without further ado, if you guys get me to 20 likes, at 20 likes, I'm going to go knock on Phantom's door and just show up.
God, I hope he's okay with this.
He has kids. I probably shouldn't be doing this very often.
I hope he doesn't get mad at me for just showing up at his house and unannounced bringing an exotic animal in his house. Is he even going to be okay with this?
Didn't he have a dog?

He's going to be a big boy.
>> [snorts] >> I wish I had money for a zebra.
Hi, emu.
Bye, emu.
Bye, emu.
Ducks have wings. Where's Doug? Are you talking about Kyle? Kyle's his new name because whoever whoever donated the most amount of money got to name him.
And so far at $50, Jamie wants to name him after a man that tried to golf with me, which is way worse than trying to unalive me.
God, please don't ever try and golf with me. That's the worst thing you could say to an emo man.
I don't want to golf.
Nothing you do could get me to golf.
Nothing you say could make me want to golf.
Leave your golf clubs at home.
I'm an emo. I don't want to go hit a ball in the middle of a field. That's not fun to me.
I could think of a million things I'd rather do than golf.
It's an emu on Temu. That's not a Temu emu. What do you mean I pick That's a real emu. That is a real emu.
That's just a baby. He's just a tiny little baby.

Yeah, all we do is emu. We don't emo.
We're emos. Emus.
Is it an emu or an emo? What do you think? It It can be both, right? An emo emu.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you would like to name the emu as a part of Taking Back 2007, I'll be owning him for the next 30 years, so Yeah, we are going to a farm right after this. This is just because I thought it would be funny to take him over the house for a little bit. He is going to a farm. He is going to be very very very well taken care of, better than you guys are taken care of, and he's going to have literally free range over like hundreds of acres, so yeah.
He's a good bird. He's He's going into life. He just [snorts] ran and slid. He just ran and slid.
