First of all, I love your shoes so much. Thank you. How old are you Tyler? I'm 11 years old so It looks like you have the violin. When did you start playing violin? Well, I started playing the violin when I was seven and a half and what made you get into playing violin? I wanted to start playing the violin because I was being bullied at school Oh, man. Do you know why you were being bullied? It's because I had cancer I almost died My name is Tyler Butler Figueroa, and I'm from North Carolina. I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of four and a half Leukemia is a cancer in the blood One day we were out to dinner and we said something doesn't look right with Tyler he kind of pale So a mother's instinct said let me get him to the emergency room. It was like, let's take some blood work and we'll be back the doctors came in Said yeah, he does have cancer And It was the worst day of my life the doctors treated me with Chemotherapy when I lost my hair, I was really sad and embarrassed at the same time to go to school They used to make fun of me and laugh at me because I was different they would spread rumors to say that My cancer was contagious and they all wanted to stay away from me One day time I saw a flyer at his school and it said After-school program the free violin lessons because like mom I want to do it mom. I want to do it I was like, but no one our family plays an instrument. What a Novelli I Would just practice in my bedroom and the more I did it the better I got once. He started that class It was like a sunshine. He was just full of energy the happy I was like, oh my god. I got my son back When I play the violin it helps me forget about all the bad stuff. I Just didn't want to be the kid what can't sir? Now I'm the kid who plays the violin I Just want to commend you for taking some things that's probably been one of the hardest things you'll ever have to go through and Turning it around and finding something that brings you joy Wow Wow Wow, by the way before I start how are you feeling now?

Yeah So I love being a stand-up comedian this is what I always wanted to do I have had other jobs in the past though I used to juggle chainsaws It went well for a while I had to get out couldn't take the politics is what it was The other thing I wanted to be was a pro wrestler That's the absolute truth. I had a name picked out in everything. I was gonna be the cripple threat That was Well that was clever, but people will ask me dumb questions all the time. I'll get this one a lot. They'll be like hey Ryan Is that genetic? Yes, because you see my mom was Irish and my dad was a lobster Kids are the worst though. All kids are the absolute worst though.

I'm a bird trainer and I specialize in birds of prey The bird I brought today is a very special bird What makes it beautiful is also what makes it very dangerous the beak the claws the wingspan He is quite smart, and we have a particular bond that allows me to Go outside certain comfort zones to try different things out But the other side to that is I haven't really had him in this kind of environment She smells the bird in there do you smell Willie in there? Working with birds of prey there are a lot of risks many injuries are possible and have happened when I take off the cloth on The cage how will the animal respond to the lights and the moving cameras and the crew?
