Hey, hey, hey, time to put your middle to the test, pal.

0:04.0

I'll tell you what, right?

0:23.7

Right.

0:24.3

Right?

0:25.3

Right.

0:26.0

People love talking about monkey's paws, right?

0:28.5

They just love it.

0:29.4

They love, like, slandering monkey's paws, libeling monkey's paws because of one bad apple.

0:37.7

I do have to ask, like, what did the monkey do to get the bad wish doing hand that the

0:43.3

rabbit did the other way around and like, ah, that's the good animal hand for wishes?

0:48.7

People love, oh, they god, oh, Laura, they goddamn love to bring up the tortoise and the hair. Oh, they think the tortoise and the hair. Oh, that's the big I am. No one talks about the monkey and the rabbit. Yeah, yeah, exactly. One monkey has a hand that does bad wishes, and suddenly all monkeys do bad wishes with their hands. Yeah. There's got to be a fable in that. There's got to be some lesson you can impart on a child

It's a classic, classic rabbit's dilemma. So, maybe you've got to do something to the rabbit's foot when you cut it off. Maybe you got to stuff it with, like, bits of black cat. Although she's hard to catch, not even Spider-Man can get her. Maybe it's just because, like, you know, the, the monkeys paw has the, like, you know, the fingers with the bends in, so you can do the very dramatic, like, oh, one wish down. Can it off, yeah. Yeah, you can't do that with the rabbits paw.

2:02.1

They've got adorable little toe beans, but you can't do nearly such a dramatic, oops,

2:07.3

you've made a wish.

2:08.0

You probably shouldn't have done that.

2:09.7

Maybe it's because, like, it's easier to look into the eyes of a rabbit as you're slowly sawing

2:16.4

its foot off if you think that there's
