Starting point is 00:02:04 but I went to a psychic and found out that in my most recent past life, I was a Chinese hooker demon and she's still in me. Chinese hooker demon still in you? Yeah. So that was a whole thing and it still is a thing because I don't have my crystals on me. What? Or in you. How dare you?
Starting point is 00:02:20 Oh, they're inside of my body. Yeah, that's the safest place for them at all times. You got some crystals up in you, girl? You know it. You got some crystals up in you, girl? Yeah, they expand when of my body. Yeah, that's the safest place for them at all times. You got some crystals up in you, girl? You know it. You got some crystals up in you, girl? Yeah, they expand when they come out. They're little dinosaurs. Oh, you guys. That's so fun.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Well, I'm sure you guys are aware of this, as you have evidence across the whole country. The world's getting dumber. The world is getting dumber. We are trying to fight the stupidity with comedy, and there's only one way to do it, and that's to break down ridiculous true crime stories that Dan gets sent to him. None of us have heard. Sometimes they're not a crime. They're just dumb. Sometimes it's just dumb behavior.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Some of these people get engaged in a Chipotle. That's romantic. That's modern romance. These guys dig that. Can I get extra sour cream and you for the rest of my life? Dan stole the hot sauce. Yes, in a heartbeat. You kidding me? Paying for that guacamole?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Come on. Oh, my God. That's beautiful. No cilantro, though. Please, no cilantro. Danny, do you have a story? Yeah, yeah, we do. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:03:12 You ready? Let's get it. We have these ladies here. Let's get into one. Okay. Raccoons bust into Toronto woman's home and get confrontational. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Okay. Have you come face to face with her? There are no raccoons in... Thank you for pronouncing it correctly, by the way. Raccoons. I just want to get that clear first off. There are no raccoons. Thank you for pronouncing it correctly, by the way. Raccoons. I just want to get that clear first off. There are no raccoons in New York City. We lived in New York City.
Starting point is 00:03:30 They just don't exist. Wait, raccoons? Raccoons. Raccoons. Raccoons. Raccoons. I heard like scratching outside of my house. And I put my son to sleep and he was asleep and I heard scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch,
Starting point is 00:03:43 scratch. And I looked up out the shade, and I saw some things moving. I took the flashlight on my cell phone and shined it out the window. Five raccoons. Raccoons? Climbing up a tree, scratching on a tree. Turned and looked at me like, what do you want, bitch? Like, they didn't move.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Yeah. They weren't scared by me lighting a thing. They're going to be confrontational. They have personalities. Well, city raccoons are cool. Well, they're eating all the chemicals and all the food. So they're like, they're eating all the drugs. They're eating all the drugs we're shitting out of our bodies.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Maybe they've got Chinese demon hookers inside of them. Oh, they for sure do. And some crystals. But city raccoons, some of them have gone keto. Like, there's some keto raccoons who are like, I want the fat. I don't want the sugar. Right. Well, and especially if they're going to be committing crimes, what happens when you do
Starting point is 00:04:28 that? You get your photo taken. Jay, they think you're paparazzi. Yeah, Jay, they do think I was paparazzi. They think you're trying to blow up their spot. Here's the deal. I saw a raccoon outside my house. He said, are you gramming this?
Starting point is 00:04:39 I was like, what? What do you mean you should have? He said, just make sure you get my handle right. I'm like, I might story it. And then he gave me another look. Why not on the handle right. I'm like, I might story it. And then he gave me another look. Why not on the main page? I'm like, I don't know. Let's go over here in front of this pink wall if you're going to take it.
Starting point is 00:04:51 It's the Paul Smith wall. Get on it. Can I see it, please? No, they just look like their sweaters don't fit. They just look like their skin is just way too big. They look like every raccoon looks like they borrowed their boyfriend's sweater. You know what I mean? That's why they're on the keto diet. Stuff like that. You're body shaming
Starting point is 00:05:10 raccoons. I'm not body shaming. I'm just like get a sweater that fits. You think raccoons don't listen to this and have feelings? It's fashion shaming. It's just as bad as body shaming. Get a sweater that fits. And it's called athleisure. It's a style. Leisure. Every time I think of raccoons, I think of that fits. And it's called athleisure. It's a style. Okay, I get that.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Leisure. Every time I think of raccoons, I think of that, what would you call it, F story from The Great Outdoors, the movie with John Candy, where there's like a whole storyline of these raccoons. Oh, that's right. And I'm always imagining either the writer or they had some producer who was like, had to shoehorn this in. Had a vendetta against raccoons. And I was like, yeah, ween.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I understand we got to get down to 83 minutes, but we cannot lose this raccoon. And the studio's like, this has nothing to do with the rest of the script. It has nothing to do with anything. So we got to lose it, man. We got to cut it. And every night they cut to it.
Starting point is 00:05:58 And there's like a whole storyline about these raccoons commentating on the people living in the cabin. So I think that was a function of, hey, there was a gopher in Caddyshack. Let's do that version here. Could be a little bit of that.
Starting point is 00:06:10 A little fallout. A little caddy fallout. I was thinking maybe that's the story that needs to be told. Yes. The sequel should be just them and fall in pair.
Starting point is 00:06:19 That's the one they don't want you to know, Megan. What happened to this lady? This was sent in by Catherine Tuck at Catherine Lorna. K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E-L-O-R-N-A. Cat Tuck.
Starting point is 00:06:29 She sends a lot of stuff in to us. We love her. Thank you, Catherine. Thank you. It was a night like any other night. Who is writing this? I hate this. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I absolutely hate this. It's like the beginning of the Haggadah in Passover. Is this a sexy novel? Yeah, I was going to say, is this from Playboy? Is this Fifty Shades of Grey? I feel like this is the poem. Danielle Steele wrote this. There it is. And my grandma will read it. Playboy? Is this Fifty Shades of Grey? I feel like this is the poem. Danielle Steele wrote this. That, there it is.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And my grandma will read it. Was Dakota Fanning in Fifty Shades of Grey? Am I wrong to say that? No, it was Melanie Griffith's daughter, right? Yeah, Dakota Johnson. Yeah, it was Dakota Fanning. Oh, no, no. That's a very different film that you have to buy on the dark web.
Starting point is 00:06:58 She's like a nine-year-old. That is Man on Fire. Why is this shot with just a cell phone? I think much sexier. Both title could have worked for either one. Man on Fire could have been Fifty Shades. Fifty Shades could have been that Denzel flick. This man is on fire.
Starting point is 00:07:12 That's how it goes. Okay. It was a night like any other when raccoons made their move. As though they'd been plotting. As though raccoons are like the raccoons in Great Outdoors. They're like, you know what we're doing tomorrow? They don't care. They just go where opportunity is. Hold on. Full stop. Maybe these are the
Starting point is 00:07:28 same raccoons from Great Outdoors. They live in Hollywood. They got their big break. Screwed it all up. Now they're doing whatever these raccoons are doing. Okay. I will say this. Coyotes. They are... You and your animal pronunciations.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I love it. I love it. I feel like kinship right now. Thank you. Coyotes. Just call them You and your animal pronunciations. I love it. I love it. I feel a kinship right now. Thank you. Coyotes. Just call them yotes while you're at it. Yotes. I'm also fine with that. They do plan ambush attacks.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Yotes be scheming. Yotes be scheming. Straight scheming. Yotes are trifling. I'll tell you guys about the time I was in Hawaii and I swam with a dolphin. Oh, you did? I swam with a dolphin. Were you kicking him with a dolphin? Well, then I watched the COVID. I will neveram with a dolphin. Oh, you did? I swam with a dolphin. Were you kicking him with the dolphin?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Well, then I watched the COVID. I will never swim with a dolphin again. Hey, listen. Don't swim with the dolphins. But I'm saying yotes be scheming because you'll see a yote pretending to have a leg injury and you follow it around the corner and there are seven, a pack of yotes ready to pounce. He doesn't really have a leg. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:22 So these raccoons planned their attack and they came into this woman's house. Toronto resident Jenny, you're going to have to help me here, S-E-R-W-Y-L-O. Sir, Sir Wylo? Sir Willow. Sir Willow? Sir Willow. I don't know. That's a beautiful name.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Sounds like a fairy. Sir Willow. She had enjoyed a quiet evening at home Tuesday. She was about to grant someone three wishes. And had gone to bed when she was startled awake by noises coming from her kitchen. Do you guys go investigate or do you call right away? Okay, can I? I have a raccoon.
Starting point is 00:08:52 You go 9-1 and then go down there? I have a raccoon story in my life. Okay. My wife and I, when we were just dating and her parents had a house out in Long Island and it was off season, so it wasn't the summertime and people weren't out there and they weren't in the house because parents were down in Florida living in their Florida house. So no one's in the house for a long time
Starting point is 00:09:12 just except for a caretaker. We come in and we find like a bunch of paw prints. They had come down the chimney and we were like, okay, down the chimney. We looked everywhere. There were no raccoons.
Starting point is 00:09:28 None. We check everything. The entire, like all the food that was in the kitchen had been rummaged through. So they had definitely, the raccoons had planned it and done their thing and gone through it. Raccoons. We looked everywhere and we were like, okay, no raccoons here. We looked everywhere.
Starting point is 00:09:43 We go to sleep. I do not like, no raccoons here. We looked everywhere. We go to sleep. I do not like this. No, thank you. We wake up the next morning and there is fresh raccoon shit in the sink. That wasn't there the night before. So we're like, the raccoons were in the house while we were sleeping. I'm bored. I thought you were going to say in the bed. I'm like not excited about this anymore.
Starting point is 00:10:04 So I put on my wife's sweater. No, but it was, we were like scared shitless because we're like, I can't believe they were, we checked everywhere and they were gone and then they were there. And then the guy who came over, who was kind of like the caretaker, I imagine. He was like, there aren't raccoons anymore. There was a raccoon that lived here, but he died 200 years ago. Happy Halloween! You've always been here, Mr. Sklar.
Starting point is 00:10:25 So I imagine that his wife was... It's like a photo of Randy from 1918 next to a raccoon. I imagine that his wife was killed by raccoons, and in the horror movie of the raccoon, he's the first one to die. Of course. He's the first one to go. I thought you were going to say,
Starting point is 00:10:41 he's the one shitting in the sink. And he can shit tiny raccoon shit. Alright, so she hears noises coming from her kitchen. The culprit? Three raccoons had broken through her window screen. The target? This person is way into this.
Starting point is 00:10:58 This is like a treatment more than a story. Would that be great? I'm going to pose a question and then I'm going to... Am I posing questions? Yes, I am. Am I posing questions? Yes, I am. Am I answering questions? Yes, I am. You'll find out. We're being tricked into pitching this woman's movie.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It literally is written like a Brody Stevens sentence. You got it. The culprit, three raccoons. The target, her bed. Yes. You got it. I've seen a raccoon on Hazeltine. Followed it down to Ventura.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Rolled on over to Moorpark. Stood in line at Marie Callender's. You got it. Big party of raccoons. All right, here we go. Leaping into action with a broom. Jenny. Broom.
Starting point is 00:11:37 Made enough of a commotion that two of the bandits decided the goods weren't worth it. It's not lay with the bandits because they're wearing bandits because they look like they have banders around. It is raccoonist. It's very raccoonist. It is very raccoonist. But the third raccoon simply stared at her from behind her toaster oven, defiantly gnawing on her English muffins. That's right. That son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:12:01 There is a picture of this raccoon Looking at her like What motherfucker You like that I want to see this picture Thank you I've seen these eyes Dan I've seen these eyes He's treating this toaster oven Like a chaise lounge
Starting point is 00:12:12 Wait should you not Look at this picture Might you flash back It's a trigger for me But I know that it's coming Let's go Or like the little caption Will be like
Starting point is 00:12:19 I ate so much bread You ready for this Oh buddy He's so cute He looks like he loves The English muffin so much He's like it's my toaster So much bread. You ready for this? Oh, buddy! Look at him! He looks like he loves the English muffin so much. He's like, it's my toaster oven now. I know, he's like, how much for this toaster oven? It's a real good one.
Starting point is 00:12:33 It toasts the shit out of the muffin. But I love it. Oh, I love this. I love him. See, that's what happened. He's probably been on keto, like all these other Hollywood raccoons, and he's just so hungry. Cheat day. It's a cheat day.
Starting point is 00:12:44 This is from Jenny. Quote, he was like, I'm eating here. Get out of here. I don't think he was like that, Jenny. I think he was very definitely said that. He wasn't like anything. He said it. He stood tall and said that.
Starting point is 00:12:59 I would have loved it if Jenny was like, he was like, excuse me. And I was like, okay. And he was like, oh, yeah. And I was like, okay. And he was like, oh, God. I was like, what? Eventually. Jenny has this whole discussion. Oh, there was a back and forth. There was definitely a back and forth.
Starting point is 00:13:11 He was like, uh-uh. And I was like, mm-hmm. Well, there must have been because they literally write eventually. Like, how long? Were you standing there? Talking to the raccoon. He's like, get the fuck out of this kitchen.
Starting point is 00:13:21 He probably had a lot to say. That's where you take the broom and you just push the toaster into the wall. No. No. That was a cute little guy. Eventually, Sir Wilo, who might have rabies and try to kill you, eventually Sir Wilo called 311, hoping the city would be able to give her some advice.
Starting point is 00:13:37 That's so Canada. They told her to try and find a 24-hour wildlife removal company. She couldn't get through to any. So they passed it off, and then she had no options. A wildlife removal company? In Canada, that's definitely a busy service. Yeah, I'm surprised she couldn't find one. They were all busy.
Starting point is 00:13:57 There's a moose in my bathtub. I thought you were going to say boots. Well, it stole my boots. There's a moose in my boot. There's a moose in my boot. There's a moose in my boot. That's what are you talking about? We just displaced six elk. Yeah, they were all the way up in our attic.
Starting point is 00:14:12 They were up in an attic and then we took it out. Sir Wilo said, that's Jenny, quote, I was growling at him and hissing at him, trying to scare him out, but he wasn't having any of it. How long was she growling at him? We're going to get there. Yeah. Occasionally, he would grab the broom handle she was pointing at him and yank it really hard. He's like, you get this fucking shit out of my face. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:33 You want to fucking put a broom in my face? Here, give it to me. Uh-oh. Like, he's grabbing it and pulling it from her. She's like, Mike, I'm taking you. You know what? I'm taking your fucking eagle shmuffins, this toaster oven, and that goddamn broom if you put it in my face one more time. This to me is like a comedy sketch now.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah. It's like, here, here. At what point do you, you know, people do this with their dogs and cats all the time. Do you start treating their raccoon like a person and be like, come on, man. Well, but that's the thing. Already. She already had a back and forth. She had a back and forth.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And she, this is where she screwed up because didn't she say earlier in her letter, right, that the raccoon was like, hey, I'm eating this. So if he's already speaking English, why is she speaking raccoon? That's an excellent point. He's speaking English. Well, he was offended. I know that for sure. He was offended. Because he was like, oh, because I'm a raccoon, you assume I only speak raccoon? Right, exactly. She starts hissing and it's like, bitch.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Finally, after he had eaten literally all the bread in her house, he moved on to some oat wheat. Or wheat. Yeah, banana nut. Home-pried buttered wheat. Remember home-pried buttered wheat?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Yes. Hell yeah. Finally, after he had eaten literally all the bread in her house, the last holdout, that's him, got up and calmly walked back through her window, which she quickly locked. I'm going to ask you guys. To me, the walkout, and you know it was on his hind legs. Yep. You know it was on his hind legs.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Oh, yeah. He's like, I see you, motherfucker. If he didn't turn around and look at her and point at his little raccoon eyes and then point back at her, that's a bitch raccoon. That's right. Or he did like the Malcolm X-like to the side.
Starting point is 00:16:06 He turns up to the side to the side have any of you watched Succession have any of you watched Succession oh my god oh well that there's just a line that is perfect
Starting point is 00:16:14 for this that show is flawless I've never seen a trailer for a show I couldn't be less interested in and then watched and was like
Starting point is 00:16:21 this is phenomenal yes I saw the trailer and I was kind of like oh I get it it's so good. It's rich people. Well, that's me too. I'm like, I'm a foreign kid from Rochelle.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Me identifying with these characters on any level is not going to happen. It's the second you meet the son and you're like, the pressure that are on these kids is unbelievable. It's so good. I just, yeah, I love the idea of the raccoon just walking out and being like, okay. All right. No, I see. Just like slowly looking back. I came here to do two things.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Eat all your bread and kick some ass. Looks like all the bread's gone. So I'll take this toaster oven. Like he probably gave her the look like I'll be back. I'm going to ask you guys. Yes. How long do you think this standoff lasted? I love this so much.
Starting point is 00:17:02 From the moment she walked in, saw four of them, three left, one said, I'll go when I'm ready. Was it three and then two left? I think it was three and then two left. Oh, maybe. Two left. So two bitched out. And I like that the one guy stayed because the other two left, they're like, we're going to get in trouble. And this guy was like, these idiots, there's still bread left.
Starting point is 00:17:18 What are you doing, guys? He's like, I'm calling her English bluffing. Sklar Brothers. On Twitter to complain about that joke. I also loved it, though. Okay, so I'm going to ask you. You are our guests, Wendy and Megan. You can decide, each of you, do you want to go first?
Starting point is 00:17:36 Tig, which is second? Third? Fourth? How long do you think, in our little guessing game? You guys can go at any rate. Do you want to hear our guesses? It's up to you. I don't care. I'll go second.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Okay. How long do I think the standoff went? All the bread? Yes. All the bread. All the bread and all the missing. Yelling. Calling 3-1-1. The yanking away. The broom game. I love the broom game.
Starting point is 00:18:02 You play with your niece all the time. But doesn't it on some level sound like a late in his career Michael Jackson video? Yeah. Like just a raccoon playing with a broom and it is a really well choreographed dance. Ooh, he doing moves. And then the other two that ran away keep sneaking in the window and doing the little They're watching. Jealous.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Yeah, exactly. That and also hide the broom does sound like a terrible game that your uncle tries to play with you. Yes. Uh-uh. No. Okay. I'm going to guess five and a half hours.
Starting point is 00:18:31 What? Five and a half hours. That's a long time. I don't know how much bread she has. That's a crazy standoff. That's a long standoff. I love that that's your point. We don't know how much bread she has.
Starting point is 00:18:39 No, because it's Canada. She probably has a lot of bread. They're not idiots like us who are like gluten, keto bullshit. They need to keep warm. It's the United States in the 70s. A lot of wide open spaces, tons of white people. Tons of white bread.
Starting point is 00:18:52 Tons of white bread. Yeah, and I imagine he's eating it slowly, like real, just looking at her. He was at the end. For sure at the end, he was taking his fucking sweet time finishing the bread. He would fully swallow.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Picking it out of his teeth with each bite. Eat another bite. He definitely did that one where he just, you know, like corn on the cob, like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. On a piece of bread. What's your guess, Megan?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Going in that pig spot. This was a morning, right? She came out in the morning? Over the night. Oh, it was the middle of the night. Middle of the night. I'm going to say... I'm going to say...
Starting point is 00:19:20 You said five and a half hours. She said five and a half hours. I look... When I eat bread, if I'm having a cheat day, and I'm still operating under that assumption. I'm operating under that too. It's over until you leave.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Especially nighttime eating is the best. I don't know, maybe she had the Hawaiian's King Rolls. If she had those, then I understand. Then you can mash it up. It's so good. Now that I even think about the King's Hawaiian Rolls factor. Sweet Hawaiian Kings
Starting point is 00:19:45 rules. I'm going to say a solid hour. An hour. Randy or Jason? It's a 45 minute standoff. 45 minutes. That's a long time to stand off with a raccoon. Well, he's done it. He knows. I'm going to say an hour and a half. An hour and a half. Yep. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Townies, wherever you are, get your answers in right now. Yell in that cubicle or scream in your car. Just yell at your earbuds. Or look at a random kid and yell this answer at them. Here we go. I just love that at some point when thousands of people are listening to this, they'll just shout, two hours. Just a period of time. Anywhere.
Starting point is 00:20:20 On a subway in New York. Yes. On a subway in New York. Jenny Sirwilos standoff with a lone raccoon who wasn't leaving until he got that goddamn good carb feeling lasted over
Starting point is 00:20:33 half an hour. Oh! I knew it. I knew it. I was almost going to say a half an hour. Aren't we all right? Over a half an hour. He the way, aren't we all right? Technically. Over a half an hour. Over a half an hour for all of us.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yeah. Thank you. But he's closest. We all win. Yay. That was fun. Thank you, Megan. That didn't stop them.
Starting point is 00:20:52 So after she gets them all out, that didn't stop the group from spending the next two hours scratching to get back in. Hell yeah. That's what they do. They scratch.
