- (beep), this is Amy, how may ?
- Hi, Amy. My name is Terrence.
I work with Justin Bieber.
Are you familiar with him?
- Um, yes.
- Yes, wonderful. So I have an unusual request.
Justin wants to buy his wife, Haley Bald Bieber, a gift.
- Okay.
- But we're hoping to be able to purchase a hippopotamus.
- Okay. We don't actually have full size hippos here.
We only have pygmy hippos.
- Oh, that's you know what,
that's exactly what we want.
A pygmy hippo!
Something cute and adorable.
Something you could butter.
- Okay.
- Pablo Escobar, the drug carte,
had the hippos
and Justin saw a documentary and Hailey walked in
she's like, "Whoa, what are tho"
And he explained what they were.
She'd never heard of them befor.
And she said, "I want one! I wa"
And you know, he didn't say any.
He just kept kind of quiet.
And so he told me, "Hey, listens
down a hippopotamus.
We'll get it all set up.
And let's try to get this going"
- Okay.
- How big are these Pygmies, uh?
- They're significantly smaller
than a regular size hippo.
- So this would be like
an overhead compartment type of?
Or are we talking hull of the p?
Or are we talking trucks?
- I mean, for the transport
and stuff it would happen for a.
- Are they bite-y at all?
- Well, I mean, anything that has a mouth can bite.
- Yes. I've always said that.
- Now, have you checked to makee
that you can own a hippo in LA?
- Not at all.
No, I've done none of that.
You know, we're able to get around regulations.
Justin's very friendly with the.
What are they hippos names?
- Our hippos are Pluto and Pose.
- Pluto and Posey, oh I love it!
Are they related?
- No. They're breeding pair.
- Oh, they're a breeding pair, !
So they might have babies.
- Mhm.
- And can you train them to dan?
- Um, they're hippos.
- Can you sleep with the hippos
or do they need to be wet?
- They're not clean.
(Amy laughs)
- Okay. Last year Justin got Ha,
a California condor and so we had an unfortunate incident
where it clawed into Hailey's dog, Tinker Toy,
and flew away and never came bak
and we're hoping to avoid a situation like that again.
- Mhm.
- And so Justin wrote, actually wrote a song
about it called "California Condor Took Tinker Toy and Flew"
and it's got a great beat, but it's kind of a heavy subject.
Would you be able to put jewelry on a mini hippo?
A pygmy?
- I mean, potentially.
It's all going to come back to the training
and the type of experience that it's had with humans.
- So you're saying they don't be
if they've been trained properl.
It's a possibility we could put jewelry on,
like a necklace or something, f.
But maybe even piercings?
And this is something that they shouldn't sleep with
but they could swim with, I guess if we created a habitat?
- Once again, it would all come back down to training.
- What do you estimate the cost?
Do you sell these by the pound or how does it work?
Is it like meat?
- I don't actually do animal tr.
- Well, you know what they say,
there's a price for everything,?
- That's a true story.
- You know what I was wondering,
and this is just something thate
and I haven't run it by him.
But do you remember the game Hungry Hungry Hippos?
- Mhm.
- I was wondering if we could do something live.
Like if we have four hippos and we put them in an arena
of some kind and we rolled the various colored melons
and we'll get some grapes or whatever and we'll roll them.
And whichever animal eats the most would be the winner
and get to sleep with Justin an.
- I mean, I wouldn't sleep with.
- Anyway. So I'll get the inforn
from the manager, I guess?
And we'll get, maybe get these hippos ship-oed
and sent all the way out to Jus.
- Uh...
- Please tell Pluto and Posey
we are looking forward to incarcerating them.
- Oh, that's nice.
- Wonderful.
- Thank you. You have a good da.
- Thank you.
