9:12 am
higher the normal price for their pork from this town because of what they do with the pigs. they believe it improves their immune system and fáxdincreases their food intake and their growth rate. they believe it's the swimming and the diving that makes them better tasting. >> maybe cuts down on the amoun are leaner from exercising. >> i think it is a marketing scheme that they have figured out. these poor pigs have to put up with it. i would rather see them get to run around than be in a tiny cage and they can't move. >> you like seeing them be pushed into the water. >> they look hesitant at the end. >> you have to walk the+ plank before you get sent to be made into bacon. >> they get plopped in the water and get up to shore. i feel like they don't want to

9:26 am
>> i didn't think i would see a man in bombay. can't say this is the safest activity but this guy shoots an arrow straight into the air. what is his target? like a bird up there maybe he is trying to shoot or a balloon? no. the target is on the ground and the target is his friend holding some sort of wooden box or something over his head. >> go to your right. >> of course, they get excited. it lands on the edge of the target that this guy is holding over his head. did you notice how he was carrying it? his front was sticking straight out. the arrow can go through his
9:27 am
foot or his hands. it reminds me of the scene from "garden state" where they do the weird dance on the ground. they are not trying to dodge the arrow. he is trying to get hit with the arrow. i guess a successful attempt. i have a meeting of epic proportions. >> more like a very tiny xd proportion because they are tiny people. >> it is the real life anime girl. we know venus from the show. >> don't speak much english but that is not a problem. sfwl there is not a lot of talking between them. >> probably lots of laughing. >> they were both in at the same time because they were invited to participate on a show.
