I've seen people do it. If I mess up badly, I don't want to disappoint you.

I don't think there's any disappointment in just like playing a game with you.

Okay, let's try it. We're going to go ahead and start with an animals category. I like animals. Here we go, get ready.

Ah, a spider, and you die from it if it bites you.

Tant! And there's a… yes!

Uh, in Africa, this jumps high and swiftly, but it's not an Impala.

Uh, Antelope! Keep going, one more and you got it.

Uh, Orx?

No, it leaps…

Antelope! I'm going to… I'm going to go ahead.

Okay, all right.

Oh, uh, people used to cut off its leg for good luck.

Oh, a rabbit! Yes!

I know you said a ton of, but so it was more than just one, so I didn't want to just be like…

Again?

Let's do again.

Try animals. You want to go animals one more time?

I'm… yeah, yeah, 'cause you're good at animals.

All right, and I like thinking about them and describing them.
