Thank you We sneak in and here's your smoke du

00:05

jour brought to you by a giant cockroach which is

00:08

still somehow less disturbing than a thousand tiny ones Okay

00:13

we're going through gregor's morning Yeah all right gregor gregor

00:18

you done reading Yes you are you What is the

00:21

line How about if i sleep a little bit longer

00:25

and forget all this nonsense Tell us about greg or

00:28

and hear the potential answers All right Well the nonsense

00:33

to which gregor is referring is the fact that he's

00:36

turned into a cockroach Good luck getting your h m

00:39

o to cover that one We'll begin by eliminating choice

00:42

See Well the rain might be depressing but having transformed

00:46

into a cockroach is more of a cause for concern

00:49

Most people anyway we guess it'd be a dream come

01:09

01:11

his biggest problem is that he's overworked call us crazy

01:14

But being an overworked salesman seems preferable to being a

01:17

giant cockroach Sorry didn't mean to offend any of these

01:20

giant cockroaches out there Alright the correct answer is b

01:24

the fact that gregor things going back to sleep will

01:26

solve his problem shows that he hasn't fully grasped the

01:29

situation He's incredulous meaning that he just can't believe what's

01:34

going on Well what would we do if we turned 00:01:36.332 --> [endTime] into a giant cockroach Avoid giants Get it away
