Welcome to Good Mythical More. If you click on this video thinking that we’re gonna be handling real animals, we are. Because there’s a proper way to hold different animals. Which we will demonstrate flawlessly. And then you will learn how to do what we can already do. But first we’re gonna play the A, B, C, D, E, F, G game. Alright. And this is ways to break up with someone. Alright. Ask them to never talk to you again. Uh, be real mean. Come up with, uh, an affair. Oh. Divorce. Um. Eek out farts until they hate you. Eek, eek, eek out. What? You said eek out and it sounded like you said something else. Eek out farts. F. Someone else. Uh, I already gave that answer though. Uh, yeah, but I used the F word. Um, Go to another country. Without telling them, and live there. Have an argument that results in, uh, irreconcilable differences. Incinerate all of their panties. Just do it. Um, kick, um, not them, but, um, the air around them repeatedly until, uh, they get fed up. Lift! Not them, but the air around them, until they get fed up with it. Make fun of, uh, their face. I almost said kneel. You’ve lost. It’s over. You’ve lost. Nick them very, very slowly with a little razor. Nope, you lost. Okay. It’s over. We’ll get there one day. Is this our, is this our most fun game? Of the wheel? I’m having a good time. I, I quite like it. How do you hold a squirrel? I quite like it. Well, can we address the elephant in the room, which is uh, bring out the elephant. Oh, God. Wow. Was that Chase? Rembrandt bringing it. Seems like something Chase could do. Yeah. Um I feel like this is holding animals properly has been something that we’ve talked about before. Meaning that, do we wanna, yea, yeah. Link has been accused of not knowing how to hold animals. Specifically his own. Yeah. When I hold my dogs on the show, people criticize me for it. Um, but I, there’s an aggressive nature. We call it, like, Lenny from Mice and Men. I, uh Mice and Men. If this were Jade. The way that I hold Jade is, you know, if I’m bringing her down the stairs, I hold her like this, like a football. Right. And then, if I’m just holding her, I put her on my arm, and sometimes the I don’t think it’s the technique, though. The arms flap, and then sometimes she sits, it’s the aggressiveness. Even the way you’re holding the squirrel is concerning to me. And Jasper, the way that I hold Jasper is like a baby upside down like this. And then if I hold him like this, he goes crazy and jumps out. And if I touch his legs, he yelps and flees. Well, you’re a very intense caresser. Do you gently caress your wife? Or do you aggressively caress your wife? I call it deep tissue. So, uh, now, if this is a squirrel, is this a pet squirrel or a squirrel in the wild? Because if it’s a squirrel in the wild, this is definitely what you do. No, don’t. This is not dead squirrel. Well, I mean, I guess No, it is a squirrel in the wild, I guess. Yeah, it’s, it’s both. I think from what I’m seeing. I’m gonna, yeah, you’re gonna basically demonstrate to me how you believe this would be held properly, and then I’m gonna describe and show you how. And also, uh, shout out to, uh, Toshimitsu Matsuhashi who wrote How to Hold Animals. Uh, and that’s where we, we got the idea to, to, to teach you this. I think, I think I got through the preface. I think, uh, basically the way I would hold a squirrel because I’m, it’s, I’m a tree-like, and, and it’s in trees. I think I would just be a tree and just see what happened. And I think just holding it, like let it perch basically. And then it would like, it would, it would run up there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like a show squirrel. I, I think you have to, you pin the tail back against it. And that lets it know who’s in charge. Yeah. So it’s like that. You pin the tail back. Okay, these are both your serious guesses as to how you hold a squirrel? Yeah, because I really don’t know what we’re looking for until I hear an answer. Okay, um, let’s take a look at the photo. Well, so, it’s close. No, the tail is not, uh, pinned back. Um, the important thing here is that your thumb and your forefinger gently but firmly hold, uh, the neck to restrain its head. So it can’t bite you. It real will bite you. Squirrel will bite you. And you gotta get the legs out like that. Don’t forget, a squirrel is just a rat with an emotive tail. Do you have squirrel issues in your neighborhood? They’re all around, but not in my I wouldn’t say I have issues with them. In my lot, no. One time Shepard was sitting out in front of our house, on a little wall next to our driveway, when he was younger, and a squirrel walked on the top of the wall and walked right up to him and got in his lap. Nuh uh. Yeah. Weird, huh? Did he feed? Nope. I think the squirrel wanted something though. Huh. That does not sound like a squirrel problem. No. Like a squirrel solution. You got squirrel problems? I, I have like an oak tree, um, that’s kind of not, it’s well positioned if you’re like, oh, this is a beautiful tree I’d like to look at from, this porch, or you know, the driveway. But, uh, there’s one squirrel in particular that has taken it upon himself. I’m guessing it’s a, he, uh, to shake every acorn down, uh, maybe every 10 minutes throughout the day, uh, upon everything. Huh. Um, and I, you see him doing it, like I, I see him doing it. I have yelled at him. I have tried to take the, the leaf blower. and blow air towards him. Oh, that’s like kicking the air around someone. Uh, yeah. Uh, but to no avail. He does not care about air or my words. You need to put, um, a piece of metal around the bottom of the tree. It’s a huge tree. Well, then he can’t crawl back up. With big branches. But the bottom of the tree. No. Frog? How do you hold a frog? I think, I mean I think you do maybe this? Um Hmm. I think if you, if you, you don’t want to squeeze a frog too hard, so you have to like, you have to because his whole guts will come out of his mouth. Yeah, you have to clamp, gently clamp a frog. Yep, it is a two handed thing. I think you gently, gently, and I would never do this, I do not touch frogs, but that’s what I’m gonna do, gently clamp the frog. That’s good. Another thing you can do is when a frog is on its back, It cannot turn itself over. So this is one way you can just calmly hold a frog. Okay. Like this, so open handed. Again, open handed, it’s just you gotta make sure that it’s on its back. So you start the way that Link did, with the double clasp. Flip it. Flip. Flip it. Now you got a free hand to drive. Yeah, cause you gotta drive away from the frog stealing place. Or take it to the dead. Tell us we’re wrong. Uh huh. Uh huh. Let’s see a photo of this. This is confusing to me. Hold the back, you hold the back legs together. This is like the way you hold a newborn sometimes, when you, you know how you can like, there was the technique of like holding a kid like this? Yeah, football hold. A football hold. Well the weird thing is, There’s no forearm now. The description says, um, frogs are picked up by placing fingers on each side and between the legs. In between the front and back legs. Yeah, see, see, look at this. See, I got my, I’m not flipping you off. I’ve got a finger on each side. And then I’ve got a finger right there that goes on the sternum. Oh. And you’re squeezing the hips so that the back legs straighten out and they can’t jump, jump away. I think is what’s happening. This is wild. This is from savethefrogs.com. We are currently seeing a photo of someone saving the frog. I mean, I will say that this guy is doing this, though. He’s doing like that. So is this a bullfrog? Look at the feet on that puppy. That thing looks like a swimmer. It’s a frog. It’s a swimmer, too. I do not, and will not, and don’t want to touch a frog. Mm mm. Mm mm. What about toad? Nope. I don’t really like the touch of a spider than a frog? A frog can’t do anything to you. You’re a frog. I don’t like the feel of it. I sort of like it. But would I rather touch that frog or a tarantula? It’s actually a toss up for me. Oh, no. And both would be tossed up. Let’s see the next one. Oh my gosh, look at this. That is a big owl. Now, a lot of people. How much, how much do we pay for this guy? You might know that an owl’s body, like, stops like right here, right? You’ve seen that, right? You’ve seen the picture. You’ve seen the owl without feathers on the internet. So all of this is leg? Bring up a picture of the owl without feathers. You mean the, okay. Bring it up. I don’t know what you mean yet. Meaning that an owl isn’t like, you think that this is, this is body down here, this is not body on an owl. What is it? Feathers all the way through. And so there’s just leg, this is crotch? Can we see a picture? Owl without feathers. We’re trying. What did, what did you say? Owl without feathers? Yep. Oh. Yeah, you’re gonna be blown away at how little an owl’s body is and how much is just extra fluff that’s unnecessary. It’s scary. Is it gonna be sad? Here’s a picture of a squirrel in Carney’s lap. There we go. Oh. Oh, my God. Fine. So, click on the one where you see the three different ones next to each other. No, are you even acknowledging the photo of the squirrel in your lap? We’ve been trying to show you this photo of the squirrel in the lap. I don’t care about it. I just want to be clear. Now, go back to the other one that was three of the same thing at different angles. Go back. Right. The third one right there. So you see that on the far right. Look at that. Look how much. Hold on. I gotta go look, because only you can see this. One second. Oh, that all of this is crotch. Yeah. That’s wild. So almost all of the owl is nothing. He’s light. I don’t think an owl’s ever meant to be seen like this. Right, but you just think that there’s a big belly down there. There’s nothing. I think I’m going to go to a red carpet event with this on my shoulder. So anytime, that’d be cool. I won’t go with you. I’d have to move my head over like that. It’s like I’m a two headed person, but one of my heads is a complete owl, a complete owl. I’ll go with you if you take a real owl, but not this one. Here’s the thing about holding any animal that has wings. You have to hold it like this and don’t go too low. Cause it’s nothing but leg. Just like this. This is how you hold it now. So I’ve got the wings pin. It’s just like the way you hold a chicken. It’s the way you hold every bird, actually. Because these right here are killers. The talons. So tell us if we’re right. I’ve still never seen an owl in the, um I think you cover his eyes, because he’s nocturnal. You’ve never seen an owl in the wild? Never seen an owl in the wild. I’ve seen at least 30 now. Around your house? Yeah. I think it’s the same one over and over again. Um, the way that you have been talking about, like, am I right about holding animals this way? Like, I believed, even though you’re, Rhett specifically, even though you’ve been joking most of the time, you’ve, I really believed everything that you’ve said. Yep. That’s my little trick. This one is not a joke, you think. But it is incorrect. No, no, no, no. Yeah, because No, it can’t be. Okay, you gotta keep the talent. That’s true. Yeah, that’s the thing. You, uh, this, here’s how you there’s, here’s the photo, but you hold their legs with your hands and very thick protective gloves and use your thumbs to point their talents downward because yeah, that’s the main thing is that the talent and then you get another person to come in and hold their head. That’s what it looks like is happening. Cause that thing will swivel all the way around, and it will peck your face off. Now, is, is this, did somebody let us use this? Is this somebody’s? Or did we acquire it? Because the face looks used. No, it’s not. It’s not anyone’s personal owl. Are you asking because you want to prove the purpose? Well, it’s a, it just, it’s a Melissa and Doug owl, and I just thought that the face would be better. It’s just I don’t think it looks used. I think it just looks not great. It doesn’t look great. Why are his eyes so small? Eyes on an owl are huge. Somebody call Doug and Melissa. Why would Melissa and Doug have such small eyed owls? I mean, it’s big eyes are expensive. I mean, the eyes should be huge. That’s the thing owls are known for. Are you trying to back out of your red carpet commitment? Yeah. I won’t be caught dead with you with that. Yeah. I need, I need bigger eyes, but, oh look, hold, look. You got, you know what? Okay, you guys got it? $38. You guys got it ripped off because there’s a Melissa and Doug Giant owl that has a 4.8 on Amazon and it’s got nice eyes, but it, it is the same owl. That’s what we got. Oh, no, you didn’t. Yeah, his eyes are too close together. And his face is morphed. This is not a good one. We should leave a review. Oh, there is more eye back there. Is there? Yeah, there’s more eye, but you’re gonna have to shave around it to get to it. All right, let’s do that. Can we shave around the eyes? Oh, yes. Before Link takes it on the red carpet? What? Look at that. Right now? Yeah. Later. Good work, Rhett. So this is a, y’all think this is a rabbit? It just needs to be groomed. It’s not. It’s not a rabbit. You’re holding a rabbit. It’s a chinchilla. And I’m holding a tarantula. Tarant chinchilla. They can mate. Alright, so to hold one of these, you have to let it you have to let it do the crawling. You, I don’t think, and then maybe you, you put, you put a couple of fingers on top? No, you hold a trench like this. Well, you’re, listen. You grab it like that. For the sake of time, you don’t get to hold the stuff I get to hold. Okay. And I don’t get to hold the stuff you get to hold. See, most chinchillas, they have a tail that goes out and then attaches to the back. See that? It’s almost like a picture. Well, wait, wait, hold on. We gotta, why are we combining animals? And this is how you get it to drink. I don’t know, for the same time, maybe? Before we go to the chinchilla, let’s pop up the photo of the tarantula. This is a step by step guide to what you wanna do. Oh my goodness. What? You have to pin it, then you have to keep the pin down and grab it with the other fingers. You have to pin it. Then you have to pick it up and then you have to look at the bottom of it to see what it is. Oh gosh. That’s horrible. And then the step that’s not on here is that you have to put it in your palm after step four, that’s step five. And that’s what I got right. Yeah. All right, and what about, is it a um, chinchilla, we actually have a chinchilla expert, uh, rembrandt, actually. Yeah, rembrandt used to own one. Hello again. Mm hmm. Uh, I, do I ever hold your chinchilla? Yeah, kind of like that. You both held my chinchilla. Mm hmm. It’s so soft. Stevie? This is what you do. You take it and you hold it on the bottom and you stuff the part underneath your chin and you rub it. That is wrong. Alright. You wanna sketch? You hold it like a baby. This is how I hold Sean. That is also wrong. And then he starts going to sleep. I mean I used to always let him sit on my shoulder and I remember we let him sit on your shoulder for the commercial. That we did. Uh, but, some people, some owners don’t say we should, say you shouldn’t do that. Um, yeah, you can, you can, if it’s attached, I say go for it. Just do it like a kettle. But you’re supposed to, um, hold it, if they’re not propped up like that, you’re supposed to hold them, just in the, kind of like, let their, let them sit there. And then some people say that you’re supposed to hold, like, the base of the tail, but you can break the tail pretty easily. So you kind of just use it like a cantilever and just kind of like let them support against. Break the tail. Yeah, it’s really easy like that. You’re never supposed to grab the tail because it can break really easy. What happens when they break it? Well, it’s like, you know, it’s part of their spine. So like they can have. Oh! Like all tails. Do you not know that? A tail is like have a tail, Chase! You don’t have a tail? No. I don’t like to think about it. Um. And What? Is that my tongue? What is happening? Oh, that’s beautiful. It is beautiful, but I’m very confused as to what’s happening out of my mouth. Um, but yeah, so you hold it. Get in there. You would hold, like, just hold it against the tail. This is a giant. This is, um, this is your tongue of knowledge. Oh, thank you. The longer I wear this, the more it, Chase Yes, my midriff is starting to show. Okay. Um, oh, you signed it as if you are me. No, I just labeled it. That’s very kind. It’s just a label. All right, there you go. Thank you. Alright, good work. And you. A gator. I know how to do a gator. A baby gator? Well, I don’t know how to do a baby gator. Um, you hold the mouth. No, definitely not. You have to hold the mouth. No, you don’t. No, you don’t. And then, what, what, you just, you just do that? Just hold it by the tail? You hold the mouth, and you hold, you hold, you hold, the tail. You hold the, you hold it like this. Two hands, two hands on the mouth? Uh, I don’t think you touch the mouth, because as you’re touching the mouth, you’ll get bit. You don’t want to do that. So, what you do is you come up behind, and you hold. The head like that with this hand. And then the other hand is on this part of the body. And then you hold it away from you, like this. No, no, no. I think you have to move this hand. Go ahead and go it all the way to the end. There you go. No, you can’t snout him. Alright, let’s see. You can’t snout him. Here you go. Well, you were right. You just sit there and hold them and they just look out. Like, they’re just, they’re happy to be exposed to the wide world of walking Cajuns. This, just basically this. Yep. Who knew?
