And so I saw that JJ was right.

And so we pull around, I took off whatever I could in the moment, jumped in with the paddle because now here again, I trust monkeys, but I don't want her to bite me.

She is going to be scared.

So I thought instead of, there's two ways I can do this.

I can grab her by the neck, right?

And like animal control her, grab her by the neck and the tail and take her out of the river, which is going to be scary for her.

And instead I thought, I know spider monkeys so well.

I've raised so many of them.

And when you raise them, they curl up to your neck and they'll... Like if you have an orphan spider monkey whose mother got shot by poachers and you're taking care of her before we bring them to the animal rehabilitation experts, they'll curl up on your neck and they go... And they'll just talk to you in your ear.

And so I feel like I know a little bit of spider monkey, a broken spider monkey.

And so I...

I pull up next to her and I give her the paddle.

And we're in this rushing river and we're moving at 10 miles an hour downstream.

And I tried to give her the paddle and she smacks it away.

She was like, no, get away from me.

I don't know what you are.

And then she keeps swimming.

She goes under again.

I give her the paddle.

No.
