13:31 Beethoven launching the frisbee on the platform
15:10 Beethoven bouncing the basketball into the audience next to me. This part of the segment, while it's a lovely audience interaction possibility, as you can see for yourself it made me nervous multiple times on the trip as sometimes many people would crowd around and get too close for comfort (15:31 why point and thumbs up directly in front of Beethoven's face? You can literally see him flinch) to the sea lions, luckily the trainers are there and the sea lions are somewhat desensitized, it's still a dangerous situation which could go wrong. People try not to be idiots "Olympic Discipline: Level Impossible".
15:57 The little girl in front of me threw the ball to Jérémy, who passed it on to Beethoven, who bounced the ball to himself which was cool and funny to see, before bouncing it into the audience.
17:44 Beethoven hugging Jérémy, they're really the best trainer-sea lion duo
