"A water creature trainer at Underwater Wonders who uses vuvuzelas to communicate with fish."
The panel of Hollywood animal wranglers introduces themselves, ranging from bird specialists to a snake expert who found his calling by picking up random snakes after college.
"I'm Marilyn Jones, and I am a bird trainer for Tinseltown."
"My name is Nigel Eclaire, and I focus primarily on snakes."
"Hey y'all, it's me, Marissa. Um, I'm dogs."
Ian reveals his secret for communicating with fish underwater: screaming through a vuvuzela. He admits fish only have three settings: swim, stop, and breathe.
"I used to use those big, they're called vuvuzelas from South Africa."
"There's only so many things any underwater creature can do: swim, stop, and breathe."
The panel vents about being snubbed by the Lion King remake, revealing industry secrets like dressing up Great Danes as hyenas to avoid paying for fast-running lions.
"I think you're bringing up a topic that we should talk about, and that is the Lion King, and we were all snubbed"
"A lot of animals who they can't get to run fast, they get a dog and they dress it up"
Ian discusses his tumultuous relationship with a river otter named Veronica who only performed if he humiliated himself, and who eventually joined the union to work on Riverdale.
"The only way I could get her to do things is if I humiliated myself in front of everyone else."
"She's the actually only animal I've ever trained that has gone union."
The panel realizes that Nigel Eclair's voice is so soothingly dull that it physically puts humans to sleep, a trait he likely uses to sedate his cobras.
Ian Household explains the financial hardship of his aquatic animals, noting that his killer whale is union-eligible but simply isn't booking enough gigs to pay the dues.
