trying. That's

1:26

1:29

No, no, not rabbit, I said rapid.

1:33

Although brayer rapid is also

1:35

a rabbit. Sometimes

1:38

he speaks the truth, other times he

1:40

might be lyin'. But no matter what

1:42

story he's sellin', you know folks are

1:44

1:46

to begin. So let's dive right

1:48

1:51

meet, you know we

1:53

call it, Once Upon a Beat.

2:09

We'll. Have

2:11

on their way to school. Prayer

2:13

Rabbits main goal is to be

2:15

the of talk and he always

2:18

gets what he wants because he

2:20

couldn't be slicker. He wants his.

2:22

2:28

the smoothness of the smooth and

2:30

he'll make his breeders reconsider. It's.

3:17

the band support. Considers this

3:19

week I tried and I

3:21

3:24

line long enough to get

3:26

a ticket. Neither did Gordon

3:28

Smith Month. Since. Yes,

3:30

but that's mostly because that regard

3:33

to try. That cause it

3:35

is gonna be. Bring

3:37

a rapid said Nelson, but there

3:39

was a gleam in his eyes.

3:41

He just took a sick for

3:43

his friends to realize. Wait for

3:45

a rapid. Do you have

3:48

your tickets already? You think that? Buy

3:50

tickets? You know I'm so good I

3:52

can suck. My way is to think.

3:54

that the versus zeus move like

3:56

the blood and never hurt me

3:58

would be on a piece I

4:00

think. Brail Rabbit, you

4:02

think you can talk your way into

4:04

and out of anything? That's because

4:06

I can. And that's what I'm gonna do. I'm

4:09

gonna get myself in and I can

4:12

get you into. Oh, thank you,

4:14

Brail Rabbit. I'm so excited. What

4:16

should I wear? Oh, Gordon. Don't believe

4:18

him. Yeah, baby Scratch. Brail

4:22

Rabbit was going all in. He

4:26

really wanted to impress his friends. A

4:28

sold out concert? Now that's a

4:30

big ask. But Brail Rabbit believed

4:33

that he was up to the task. Besides,

4:36

the concert wasn't until the end of the week.

4:39

All he really wanted was for

4:41

his friends to respect his cool

4:43

and his technique. Huh? Brail

4:47

Rabbit, are you teasing me about

4:49

the tickets? We chipmunks are known to

4:51

be gullible. And we squirrels are not.

4:54

You're gonna need to convince us that your

4:56

skills of persuasion are that great. Wait,

5:00

now my friends are thinking Brail Rabbit

5:02

is a fake? I'm the coolest of

5:04

the cool talkers. Make... Hey,

5:06

hey, hey. I'm

5:13

dropping logic with the automatic grabbing magic.

5:16

I'm so hypnotic, naked people lose my garbage-raising.

5:18

Yo, I'm a savage with the language out

5:21

there average tatted. Yo, I'm

5:23

the baddest legendary to this planet. Banish! Who got that to

5:25

the tongue? Say anything in the building, Don. I'm telling some

5:27

bills close by the tongue. If you got a better start,

5:29

we done tell me. One,

5:31

Brail Rabbit, they can have it. Mouth so fast, they can

5:33

tame it at it. For that day, I was born till I'm

5:35

tearful gas. Check my signals, I'm gonna clear the static. Gotta

5:38

vote this period today. Observe the way I swear. The way

5:40

I serve. The way I serve. Got enough to go

5:42

around just like DIRS. Because I'm

5:44

visioning it out. Everyone listening now, I'm kicking the

5:46

styles. I'm never sobering it down. Competitive, I'm jumping

5:48
