05:15oh i ended up feeling worse for the hippo
05:18i know
05:19he too
05:20The hippo is real patient with him, as far as hippos go.
05:23I really think it's the most, you're right, he was the most patient hippo.
05:27He's like, I let him hit me in the face, I let him brush my teeth, I took him for a ride
05:31through the river.
05:32I swam and he rode me.
05:35That's what he did.
05:36I thought I was a water horse.
05:38Look at me on these hippos.
05:40Take a picture of me on these hippos, please.
05:44I let him take pictures.
05:45Take a picture of me on these hippos.
05:48I don't know how much more I could take.
05:50Look at us, we!
05:52He had said, quote, there's a relationship between me and Humphrey.
05:55That's what some people don't understand.
05:57No.
05:58They think you can only have a relationship with dogs, cats, and domestic animals, but I
06:02have a great relationship with the most dangerous animal in Africa.
06:04Humphrey's like, I'm just going to, I'm going to give it one more week.
06:09That's right.
06:10Water rides me again.
06:12I'm going to drown him in the river in two seconds because I have hippo strength.
06:17Chomp him, chomp him to bits.
06:19It's over for him if he tries to ride me one more time across the river.
06:23That's exactly what happened.
06:24And I think that's it.
06:25Hello, Humphrey!
06:27Oh, that's what you do today's the day!
06:29Come on, let's do our water rides!
06:33It's not a daily thing!
06:35Do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
06:38Hippo!
06:38No!
06:39It's degrading when you ride me across the river.
06:42I put my floaties on!
06:43Please!
06:44I can't do it.
06:45I don't even have any other hippos to talk to about this.
06:48Yeah, there was no other hippos around.
06:50No.
06:50Well, because the other hippos would have been like, take care of it.
06:52Yeah, like, what are you doing?
06:54Watch, watch, watch what I do.
06:56What are you doing?
06:57I'm like, Lisa, as the other hippo.
06:59Yeah.
06:59What are you doing?
07:00You're a real judgy, real judgy other hippo.
07:02Yeah, just kill him.
07:04Just bite him in half.
07:05Just drown him in the river.
07:07I don't know.
07:07Take him in the river, bite him in half, and drown him.
07:12Hi, hippo.
07:14I just feel like the hippo was doing hippo stuff, and he just came running up and jumped
07:19on him.
07:19He's like, I don't know what I'll do today.
07:21I'll probably eat something crazy.
07:22Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
07:23I want a hippo!
07:26Let's go for a sweep!
07:27I know, I want a, I'm gonna try and buck you off.
07:30No, don't hold on.
07:32Hold on.
07:33Yep.
07:34Need to talk to some other hippos about this.
07:36He would have been so embarrassed if there was other hippos around.
07:39Oh, my lord.
07:39He's like, if another hippo shows up while he tries to water ride me across the river.
07:43Maybe that's what happened.
07:44Yeah, that's it.
07:45Oh, my God, that's it.
07:45I gotta kill him.
07:46Yeah.
07:46He's like, this is embarrassing.
07:48He's a sweet, simple man.
07:50He loved a hippo ride, but.
07:52He loved a good hippo ride in the river.
07:53There's a hefty price to pay when you, when you, when you, when you, your vices riding hippos.
07:58There was only one way for it to end.
08:00Yeah, that's it.
08:01And it ended the exact way it was always gonna end.
08:04Right.
08:04Drowned in a river, smashed half to death by a hippo.
08:07Yes.
08:07Yes.
08:08Yeah.
08:08Definitely ended the way you think.
08:09Yeah.
08:10Yeah.
08:10Yeah.
