Well, the front legs are fingers. The back legs are toes. That's what we call them. Bird wings are like arms, bat wings are like hands. Comparative anatomy.
the bottom portion of a horse's legs is a single toe, not the whole thing. their carpal bones are comparable to the base of our hand. from there, it is like a single middle finger. so horses are constantly either flipping the bird of flipping the middle toe.
*“Ya can’t just say somethin’s fingers.”* Can we take a moment to appreciate Justin’s vernacular and just the way the man speaks it’s beautiful even when he sounds absolutely horrified
Johns Hopkins of University fame was named after his grandad, another Johns who was named Johns because that was his mom's maiden name and they just didn't drop the 's'. Now you know, have a good day!
Hi, horse vet assistant here! So horse legs are metacarpals (front legs) or metatarsals(back legs) They used to be much much smaller, but they grew to be huge through evolution and adaptation. Their front knees are actually their wrists, and back knees are actual ankles
For those also suitably terrified its not quite the whole leg? But what you'd think is the horse's knee is derived from the same structure as our wrists, so, their forelegs are half hand-with-one-finger and half arm
I honestly think of of the things that makes The Boys so funny is that you can tell they’re siblings so much, like, this sounds like something mine and I would all say. Really good animation, by the way.
This was my first episode of MBMBAM, (also my first podcast, so I was already like ehhhh what's a podcast??) and I have been in love with the show since. This episode is my all time favorite (this one and the sleepy time ASMR one 😂) it's just the right amount of hilarious, weird, and This Knowledge Will Fuck You Up. I remember it every time I see a horse.
Like it's only the bottom half of their legs that are digits, and most quadropedal animals have that feature to some extent... Like it's really not a big deal i'm just a nerd lol
now hang on, the fetlock is the _knuckle_ and the bone after that is the finger. there's a whole-ass palm between your wrist and your finger, and that is the.. whatever horse part you call it that you kneel on.
So, I guess the opposite of a horse is a centipede. Hear me out: Every part of a centipede is leg holders and legs. Antennas? Legs. Mouthparts? Legs. Ovipositers? Legs. Fangs? Legs. Even the leg holders, the head and body sections, only grow when new legs are added. They are inverse horses.
Maybe it's 2 Johns and 2 Hopkins, like a law firm they wanted all their names in there, but like it would look wordy to have "John, John, Hopkin and Hopkin" so they just pluralized both "Johns Hopkins"
Jonathan Burtson only the lowest two bones are analogous to finger bones. But the animatic implies that everything from the elbow down is finger, and the boys seem to believe that everything from the shoulder down is finger, which it is not.
Vestigial fingers are still left on the “calves” as small nubs. Also, what’s less horrifying: all fingers fused into one to walk on or one big finger to walk on?
The "knee" of a hoses font legs is structurally the same as our wrists, and the hoses back "knees" are structurally the same as our ankles. So the horses distal limbs are basicly fingers.
I KNEW THEY WERE FINGERS BUT I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE HOOF CAN FUCKING FALL OFF. THAT THE HOOF CAP CAN JUST SLOUGH OFF AND UNDERNEATH IS THE LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR OF GORE AND BLOOD. ITS LIKE... THE FINGERNAIL BUT WORSE.
You guys are real special... The horse's finger (or tow) starts far lower than you think. What you're calling the finger is actually both the hand and finger (for the back its a foot and a toe). Look at a dog skeleton and it won't seem so strange.
i will die on justin's hill. if it behaves like a foot, it's a foot. the ONLY case where it's a finger is like evolutionary biology or some shit, which i don't think most people are into
so did i get that one dislike for not knowing where a horse's wrist ends and finger begins
No I believe that's where you got most of your likes.
You got 18 dislikes from horseboneologists.
The wrist is the knee
All horses are thing from the Addams Family
Actually I think you got it exactly right

interesting! i hate it!
Rebecca Johnson you’re grounded from comments for 72 hours
AAAAAAUGH....... that is gorgeous
But bird grab with foot so bird foot also hand even though bird leg always ldg
JESUS I COULD HAVE GONE MY WHOLE LIFE WITHOUT SEEING THAT FINGER HORSE
How lucky are that you did.
*“Ya can’t just say somethin’s fingers.”*
Can we take a moment to appreciate Justin’s vernacular and just the way the man speaks it’s beautiful even when he sounds absolutely horrified
The shot of Travis having that horrific moment of disassociation killed me
Travis’ quiet “get the fuck out” makes me laugh every time 😂
They left off the best part - it's the middle finger, so horses are perpetually upside-down flipping you off!
makes sense, considering most animals that posses a middle finger, have it as their longest
*THEMS IS LEGS !*
Johns Hopkins of University fame was named after his grandad, another Johns who was named Johns because that was his mom's maiden name and they just didn't drop the 's'. Now you know, have a good day!
And if you apply to Johns Hopkins. And you spell Johns without the s. You will probably not get in.
I always just assumed there were multiple people named John, probably a father and son, who founded it. A single person should not be named Johns
@@CodfishJoei assumed it was two separate surnames. like a Dr. Johns and a Dr. Hopkins teamed up to found a university
justin: you can't trick me!!
griffin: owo

Griffin: (wrote every heartbreaking and beautiful monologue of TAZ Balance)
Also Griffin: Does John possess a Hopkins?
This episode was hilarious largely because Griffin was high out of his gourd on codeine or something.
he had become the Nastyman
It's like tomatoes being fruit all over again.
Kyle Hart nah. This is far worse
AsIUnderstand It - Agreed.
Tomatoes are fruit because vegetables are just a culinary classification of fruit.
Zack Wheelhouse lets not about that no more :3
“*I learned the hard way* that... thems is legs!”
Wh. What does that mean? How did Justin _learn the hard way_ that horse’s fingers are LEGS?
so who wants to tell them that whales and dolphins have fingers?
I'm only at around episode 170, when Farm Wisdom was still relatively new. I'm glad to hear it's still around.
For those also suitably terrified its not quite the whole leg? But what you'd think is the horse's knee is derived from the same structure as our wrists, so, their forelegs are half hand-with-one-finger and half arm

Really good animation, by the way.
This is a fascinating subject. I recommend "Hen's Teeth and Horse's Toes" by Stephen Jay Gould.
Lee Sherman I LOVE THAT GUY
A good bit with some very tired boys. 10/10 would never listen again because of the sheer horror of horse fingers if not for John's Hopkins
sudafed griffin is the BEST
This was my first episode of MBMBAM, (also my first podcast, so I was already like ehhhh what's a podcast??) and I have been in love with the show since. This episode is my all time favorite (this one and the sleepy time ASMR one 😂) it's just the right amount of hilarious, weird, and This Knowledge Will Fuck You Up. I remember it every time I see a horse.
I misread that as horsebonerologist and was expecting a fifth leg joke, but this is acceptable
bless you including their laughing. i just love hearing them laugh so much lmao gives me life
This is one of those episodes that makes me suspect that they’re high when recording.
WHY DOES GRIFFIN MAKE THE :3 FACE AS HE PONDERS THE JOHN'S. THIS WORRIES ME
qeueu qeu I lost my shit lmaoooo
The best part of this is just Griffin's tanget about John's Hopkins
I have an unnecessary level of upset at their misinterpretation of this
what do you mean?
Like it's only the bottom half of their legs that are digits, and most quadropedal animals have that feature to some extent... Like it's really not a big deal i'm just a nerd lol
im SO happy you made this
First stage of grief: denial
oh god. you rendered that horrifying well.
Griffin was sick in this one wasn’t he
Griffin sounds so high
The whole leg is not a finger the fetlock is the wrist and the bone after that is the finger
now hang on, the fetlock is the _knuckle_ and the bone after that is the finger.
there's a whole-ass palm between your wrist and your finger, and that is the.. whatever horse part you call it that you kneel on.
this is perfect. thank you
so glad you kept in johns hopkins
Sick Griffin ftw.
So, I guess the opposite of a horse is a centipede. Hear me out:

DEVIN SCHWARZ The Johns and The Hopkins 3: Tokyo Drift
Maybe Hopkins is still singular, though, so it's 2 Johns 1 Hopkins
they're only fingers from the knee down. which is actually a wrist. the knee is much closer to the body.
Yes, very good. Very good goof choice and animation
i get a slight homestuck vibe from the artstyle (ive never actually read homestuck lmao) and it looks super cute!!
Their LEGS aren't fingers. Their FEET are.
Everything below their second leg joint is homologous to wrist/hand/fingers
Jonathan Burtson only the lowest two bones are analogous to finger bones. But the animatic implies that everything from the elbow down is finger, and the boys seem to believe that everything from the shoulder down is finger, which it is not.
THIS IS NOT BETTER! but thank you for the clarification
*tHeMS iS lEgs*
Well, this does explain the way the "hooves" are properly done on anthro horse TF at least. Which I'm sure Partly knows allllllll about... :3c
Also, on a less joking note, I like how the fingerhorse was totally modeled after the notorious Blucifer. At least if I'm noticing right...
not intentionally, but that's a happy accident
god this animation is beautiful
Vestigial fingers are still left on the “calves” as small nubs.
Also, what’s less horrifying: all fingers fused into one to walk on or one big finger to walk on?
The "knee" of a hoses font legs is structurally the same as our wrists, and the hoses back "knees" are structurally the same as our ankles. So the horses distal limbs are basicly fingers.
i'm. horrified
Yeah and the hoof is the finger nail.
They do rum on their toenails
I guess Syndee never told Justin about horseboneology.
I KNEW THEY WERE FINGERS BUT I DID NOT KNOW THAT THE HOOF CAN FUCKING FALL OFF. THAT THE HOOF CAP CAN JUST SLOUGH OFF AND UNDERNEATH IS THE LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR OF GORE AND BLOOD. ITS LIKE... THE FINGERNAIL BUT WORSE.
its actually the hoof that is the "finger" but toe is more appropriate
Oh, the nastyman
Okay to be fair the ENTIRE leg isn't a finger. It's just that their "knee" is actually their wrist (or ankle in the back legs)
Does John possess a Hopkins?
It's like Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
You guys are real special... The horse's finger (or tow) starts far lower than you think. What you're calling the finger is actually both the hand and finger (for the back its a foot and a toe). Look at a dog skeleton and it won't seem so strange.
i will die on justin's hill. if it behaves like a foot, it's a foot. the ONLY case where it's a finger is like evolutionary biology or some shit, which i don't think most people are into
BONES!!!
Who the hell told Griffin about my Hopkins???
I mean, it's only the bottom part of the leg that is fingers.
Holy fuck my day I ruined *AND ITS **12:04** AM*
i actually googled it.. those are toes :(
so horses were creepy octopus things?
why does griffin look like homestuck
I always wonder that about Johns Hopkins lol wtf is up with that
you can't spell horsebonologist without bono
Omg omg omg omg
Also, what the fuck did I just watch?
Lee Sherman an MBMBaM gem
looks like homestuck
i think you should move on from homestuck
i disagree
here guys.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_system_of_the_horse
so glad you kept in johns hopkins
