I'm Jack Hitt, I'm a contributing writer for the Neutons magazine.

I'm recording from my bunker here, my safe coronavirus free bunker here in New Haven, Connecticut.

So yeah, in this age of coronavirus isolation, I thought it might be nice to just hear a story, but see monkeys.

You know, amazing live see monkeys. I don't know if you had them as a kid. I did.

Now, maybe remember, you bought these off the back page of comic books years ago and still, you know, they're still for sale.

And you would get this little aquarium that was no bigger than your fist.

And, you know, you would grow these things out of these packets.

I should say that I've done a lot of radio and so in the past, I used to sit in my office, which has a lot of echo.

So I would just put a towel over my head with a tape recorder under it.

And that worked well for short bits, but you know, to read an entire piece for basically a half an hour, it was insufferable.

So I created this recording studio, you know, in my basement.

And that was my recording booth for this story.

I was sitting on this old music chair that I just dragged in from the cellar.

It's an old chair that I'd been meaning to fix for a long time.

And anyway, at a certain moment, I just felt this weird sensation.

It was like somebody ran their finger up my back and about two seconds later,

the entire chair just collapsed from under me.

I crashed to the floor.

And thankfully, the tape recorder was on.

All right.

Anyway, this is a story about amazing live C monkeys.

And frankly, it has nothing to do with the coronavirus.
