it used to be safe to take your kids to the park but not anymore I’m Carolyn from Napa California let’s talk about that good mythical morning this episode is brought to you by the Rhett Link store where you can get this t-shirt the Red House and other t-shirts as well as CDs mythical shoes shop to your heart’s calar support interna tainment people rhettandlink.com/store yesterday we talked about the farmers market here in LA and your crazy experience with some interesting people yes you know I mean I find myself constantly saying only in LA yeah only in LA would I see a guy playing a harp lock eyes with me and say something like what he said to you well he said it to the guy who was dancing oh yeah which made it even more la always picture him saying it to you because in my mind he’s still staring at you yeah even though you’re not even in the same location figuratively he’s always looking at me you dream of this harpist at night beckoning me to join him in heart world but the farmer’s market is one thing but a kid’s park should be a totally different thing even in LA right yeah he’s wrong you feel safe we have lots of kids I’ve got two links get three our wives take them places all the time taking them places especially the parks you know parks are like a haven for children who need to get out of the house and raise havoc yeah I think you wreak havoc in your rigs hell yeah okay so reCAPTCHA leonatus uh you know my boy Lincoln uh recently had a birthday and they held the birthday party for his friends at the park and we didn’t blindfold him and he didn’t vomit everything went well on that front okay good but who would have known what would have happened after we left because we show up at the party you know what you know okay they’re playing with beyblades that’s the big thing but then let it rip if I would have known what would have happened as the party was kind of breaking up you were okay I would have stayed longer as opposed to going back to work but here’s what happened only in LA I say and Jessie relayed the same story to you so our wise got home and they were like you will not believe what happened at the park and this is the story I’ll fill in the gaps where I see them so it’s a it’s a toddler type part where even the younger kids are able to climb up the ladders and steps and go down the slide there’s a playground area there’s a there’s a grassy park and then there is a fenced-in area with sand all around it and then like your your new sort of modern jungle gym ish sort of playground with the slides and the monkey bars and that kind of thing you seem to be really into that you spend a lot of time studying it well no it’s just it was for painting a picture there’s a park for two-year-olds you know now they know what it looks like so all the kids are playing in there if they’re not playing with beyblades or what have you and then this woman who’s not who’s not a party to our party yeah even though the party’s kind of breaking up she’s like an independent party goer she’s got she’s got a baby carriage and she wheels the stroller esque baby carriage into the contained area where the kids are playing on the playground equipment and she takes out of this baby carriage not a baby but a bunny rabbit a bunny rabbit she had no child she had a pet rabbit she had a pet bunny and she didn’t just bring him to the park I mean there’s grass all around there let the bunny run in the grass no I’m gonna bring him to the jungle gym area well then that was because she could go in there because it was fenced in toddlers can’t get out my bunny can’t get out honey zoo consumed she proceeded to let the bunny just run wild in this area and of course the kids it’s like a dream come true yeah I came to a part thinking I was gonna just get monkey bars now there’s a bunny I mean listen there’s not even it’s not even Easter time and I didn’t have to pay to get in here yeah yet there’s a bunny that I can pet do they love them they love bunnies so of course the the kids start crowding around the bunny oh can I pet your buddy can I pet your bunny yes yes so you know the bunny is friendly depending the bunny of course he’s friendly he’s a he’s a bunny well yeah I guess it but he could be a rabbit rabbit you should but she probably wouldn’t have him at the park who knows I mean only in LA so the so the kids are having a grand time with this bunny rabbit petting it talking to it giving it alternate names it what have you but then things get a little bit she I mean everything started out great but there’s a lot of kids and you gotta you gotta keep in mind I mean like my three-year-old son Shepherd he’s the kind of kid that he’s real sweet and everything but if you left this kid alone with a bunny I mean you come back thirty minutes later he would have eaten half of it alive you know what I mean but nf in a friendly he would he would be trying to treat it in a nice way but he would end up killing it and eating it sort of like Lenny and the mice from of mice and men uh it’s just the way kids are with things you have to monitor them you have to keep them well this woman felt the heat coming from the kids and she backed out right she starts she starts to get upset and so she turns to the moms including our wives and says can you keep your kids away from my bunny and they were at a park their responses uh well this is a kids park and your bunny is playing on the kids equipment yeah and then you know expecting a response and the woman is just kind of just stares blankly back out of like you you heard me right get your kids away from my bunny hello and so our wives being the the nice non confrontational southern ladies that they are they just sort of acquiesced and said okay I mean well maybe there’s this is a big park we’ll go do something else and so they go back over to the the table area where the party had been taking right because you don’t want to have a confrontation with someone you don’t interesting enough to bring a bunny without a child to a child’s Park you don’t to fight the bunny lady back away slowly from this bunny lady but you know within the next hour they happen to notice that there is one mom who has shown up at the park with a child by herself by herself and she has gotten into a heated conversation with the bunny lady so there’s some like in the distance like a heated exchange between new mom with baby and lady with bunny and then mom with baby with actually two children right yeah thumbs over to our wives and this woman is in tears she’s hysterical she’s in tears and she’s like I just saw you guys over here and your moms and I just felt like I had to talk to somebody that bunny lady over there just told me when she said my daughter is this is the the mom talking she was upset she says one of my daughter’s is deathly allergic to bunny she’s allergic to a lot of things when we carry an EpiPen she’s so allergic to bunnies that she could go into epileptic shock and I’d have to give her this thing and I told the lady my daughter is allergic to bunnies could you please take your bunny somewhere else and that what do you think the bunny lady did she she was like and and then the lady was like like like it’s a free country the lady said look at the sign the sign says you can’t have any dogs in the park and what did the bunny lady say I have a bunny not a dog what this bunny lady’s crazy so you can’t take your kids to a park anymore so then bunny lady sees my upset mom talking to our wives who are now getting concerned him you know you can tell from a distance so bunny lady I think she said I wish she could and I think our wives were doing things like this at this point like shaking fingers like I know you didn’t get lots of so she could pick up on the fact that you know lots of moms getting together it’s kind of forming in militia I mean because you probably get out of here and I’m outnumbered three or four moms and their children if they wanted to could easily take out a lady in the bunny unless the bunny was really out of control yeah unless it was a ballistic bunny yeah you know like but yeah this time thing you know it’s a set it’s the sad state of affairs today when someone starts acting a little odd and you just have to back away sell it it’s like when we were in the Burger King eating and there was a dude who came in and he was gonna eat he ordered his burger and he put his burger down but he didn’t sit down he was he started pacing back and forth go up to his whopper and he would eat some of it look around look at us put it down and then he would walk across the restaurant and then he would go back and we thought well maybe this guy like was recently shot in the butt or something I can’t sit down but no instead would sit down he would look at us and then he would stand it and he would buy eat I mean and we start we start looking at talking to each other didn’t we got out of there and I like do you think we should leave I’m like yeah let’s continue this conversation in in the car but it isn’t just the bunny lady tell him about the pole dancer a few days later Christy goes to another park and and all of a sudden this woman shows up and starts doing a pole dancing routine on kids playground equipment on the okay you know these I’ve already painted a picture of what these look like this is a different Park in Burbank and there’s the playground equipment and then they have these poles that the kids can slide like off of the equipment down to the sand the woman is doing a pole dancing routine like she sets her little sandbox up I’m told that a pole dancing routine is it’s a legitimate form of aerobic exercise that lots of women get together and do in studios where the windows are blacked out and I’m also told that it’s also done in other places but I’m not too sure about that but my wife was sure that at that point okay kids it’s time to leave this park you know what is this pole dancing woman thinking I understand that it’s like the exercise thing right now that people are doing but do you know what the roots of it come from no but I don’t I I don’t want to go there it’s not it’s not for the playground ladies it’s not for the playground now anybody’s are not for the playground either wherever you’re at bunny lady in all fairness go to the bunny Park and all fairness I would say if the pole dancing lady incorporated a bunny into her routine then I think it’s appropriate for all ages and give me the location of your next performance okay yeah anyway again only in LA only in Los Angeles hopefully you few people should also move here so you could experience these things hopefully this isn’t happening all across the globe tell us in the comments if this is happening in your neck of the blood that’s why it’s so expensive to live here because you get to see things like this and you get to link interpretive dance okay so we before you did an interpretive dance so now we flip the script a little bit and I get to do an interpretive dance let’s take the wheel down so they can see you right all alone at a park I look in the distance I see a lady she has a bunny the bunny that I’m allergic to I must get away from this bunny I will go into epileptic shock if I come in contact with this bunny oh my goodness I look to the left now there’s a woman on a pole this seems inappropriate I’m just a child I’m just a child I should not be exposed to these things oh my goodness now she has the bunny with her now things seem okay this woman with the pole and the bunny suddenly the universe is in balance again I will return to this Park I will return to this park me tomorrow you
