01:01
So it's like her money too.
01:03
So it happened to her.
01:05
Yeah. So, so that's living proof that that actually does
01:08
happen. Ok. So no purses on floors.
01:11
And have you heard of the itchy palm thing?
01:15
So, like if your palm is itchy,
01:16
it means like, money's coming.
01:18
So don't scratch it.
01:20
But I didn't even know that.
01:21
And so I'd be like,
01:23

01:24
What that itch? You know,
01:24

01:27
It's actually itchy. Now.
01:33

01:43

01:46

01:48
What, what other superstitions did you grow up with?
01:51
I was told and this also came true.
01:55
Apparently you can't sweep people's feet.
02:00
What do you mean?
02:01
Like if someone sweeps your feet by accident,
02:04
you know what that means?
02:05
That they're like, it's going to be hard for them to
02:07
find a partner, like,
02:08
get married and stuff.
02:10
Yeah, someone did that to you.
02:11
I'm pretty sure because look at me now.
02:14
Oh, man. Well,
02:15
how do you undo it?
02:17
En suite and I think they have to mop your feet.
02:19
I'm just kidding. Not at all.
02:23
I know. No,
02:24
I'm just kidding. I don't know how to undo it,
02:25
brother. I mean,
02:26
if I knew I would,
02:27
you know, is there any good superstitions or anything else?
02:31
Well, the evil eye,
02:34
you know, people wear the bracelets for protection,
02:37
they put the thing on our door so,
02:40
to turn away the bad the bad energy or people that wish
02:45
bad upon you. And that's what they also say.
02:47
Don't tell people your plans.
02:49
Don't, don't, don't like,
02:51
say you want to accomplish something.
02:52
Don't be like, oh I want to accomplish this because there's
02:55
mano out there. If people see that you want to accomplish
02:57
something and that they get jealous or envious,
02:59
then they put it out in the universe for you not to
03:02
accomplish it. But thats it,
03:04
this protects you of the bracelet or the thing on the wall
03:09
But that's what I know.
03:11
Do you know of any good ones?
03:12

03:28
Oh, that's how you undo the esco.
