mythical beast now my wife bless her heart I love her to death that’s great that’s that’s a nice arrangement by saying that you love your wife right um but she dialed 911 the other day and I think it was an inappropriate use of 900 but we’ll get into exactly what happened after she dial nine one okay okay she called me first I will say that she called me first but I was busy but you scream all of her calls is that what you’re saying I was in the middle of something and it wasn’t she didn’t text me it didn’t seem like an emergency situation okay and I was like okay I’ll call her right back and then when I did call her back I learned that she had died on line 1 1 etc etc okay let me just start by saying we have really large squirrels in our backyard okay okay we have and we’re in Los Angeles and these squirrels are bold radioactive they’re bold and my kids have fed these squirrels uh basically from the palms of their hand I don’t think it’s actually gotten exactly to that point yet but it’s gotten where so the fingers may be very very close to essentially having these squirrels eat out of their hands okay it’s a good relationship my kids are entertained the squirrels are fed probably illegal to feed them so to scratch that they don’t feed them legally they do not feed them okay okay why would it not be legal to feed it that’s karate California everything’s illegal okay so so just in case you’re just making this up yeah just in case my wife I need an out they call that an out give yourself an out my wife and my children were inside the house and my wife suddenly hears the back door creak and slam he’s like his Rhett the wreck come inside is Rhett home and she goes into the kitchen and there she sees a very large very dominant squirrel on the floor he’s on the floor they’re on her down she freaks did she did he have a weapon he was not armed was he clothed he was no he was naked squirrel like just a normal squirrel yeah nothing nothing exciting other than the fact that he looked big and threatening apparently okay she runs into the she’s like boys get into the study so this is like our little extra room they get into the study and she closed the door behind but she closes them all in there and of course my three-year-old in my ear oh boy like mom there’s what there’s a scrub kid look can we go see him we would like we want to get out there we want to interact with this thing she’s like no he could be rabid she thinks this could be rabid because he is so bold to have come into our house and I don’t know how slammed the door I don’t know how where that comes in he well he took his foot and he went like that and he slammed it massive smart squirrel was he foaming at the mouth she didn’t have time to process that like Old Yeller type situation she tells me later she’s like I dialed 911 I’m like what you dialed 9-1-1 it was a squirrel even if it was a rabid squirrel I don’t think this warrants calling 911 when she said well I didn’t I wasn’t calling 911 to speak about an emergency I was calling 9-1-1 because I thought that they would they could transfer me to animal control which I guess is not that you know which if you’re lonely they can transfer you to a dating service so she said that you know they say 911 what’s your emergency she was like well it’s not exactly an emergency you know they could probably get that all the time well it’s not exactly an emergency I lost $5 in the arcade and you know the guy’s not responding to me can you get the cops over here but it was she said can you connect me to animal control and I wanted the what the operators at this point I’m kind of picturing you know how you watch the like 6 o’clock news and they’ll show like a waveform and you’ll hear when I we have we have the audio from the my one one call let’s roll that what and then I kind of wish that that could happen here well I’m sure that it exists well well it does it’s in the archives and legally we could get it it’s public domain anyone out there could go fine I think you have to have a warrant I think has to be a cop together how did the news the news just get a released the tapes are released right so I’m just picturing they’re not going to release this could be I know this could this is worthy of like not the top of the hour my wife the bottom I know and the other day about a squirrel woman calls 911 so more news at 11:00 that would give yours it would be like right before it goes to the 11 but this is what she ended up doing because was she she opens the door to go back and investigate again to see gonna actually she goes out into the back and she opens the back door so now she can go and flush him out the back door from Winston he came 9-1-1 operator tell her to do this I don’t know we I need to get more details from because I’m not sure what happened once she was connected I just know that they didn’t come out I think Winston – fire – I think when they said this is not really an emergency they hung up on her that’s probably because they actually need to talk to those type of people well she opens the door and then she goes back around and kind of peeks into the kitchen and she is now eating this squirrel is now eating a peanut butter and banana sandwich is he like laying like this night he didn’t make it for itself now that would be that would be really impressive my wife had made a sandwich my three-year-old had eaten 75% of it and this grows like well heck she knew I was coming I’m gonna eat this she knows she knows I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches and he was eating the sandwich and just kind of looking at her like what’s up uh and then as she kind of approaches him what actually she was scared again because she’s making himself known he’s eating so she called 9-1-1 again instead in a Latina sandwich he went out I think after he had his fill he went out he saw the door been open for him and he went out we haven’t seen him since I’m cool thanks for the sandwich I got what I need I’ll let myself out actually I slammed the door behind me if you could turn the knob I’ll just be on my way peace I’ll be back tomorrow it’s a California squirrel cool see what you’re going with that now if this reminds you of a story in my house every night I would go to sleep this is back in North Carolina I would hear rustling in the Attic yo-yo and I was kind of afraid I dialed 9-1-1 no guy I didn’t I uh pin my attic I go up there I climb the stairs not the errant thing go up there lo and behold I find out there’s a bird fluttering around up there in my attic he’s nested is he called Rosie nested they were like exhaust holes on the side of my house where you turn your fan on from your from your bathroom and it sucks the air out so it they flew into that and then post up poked a hole into the plastic and then came into the attic and said look it’s like a huge nest here’s a complex plan the hole yeah they infiltrated my attic I say today because I thought there was more than one but when I got up there it was there’s one I went up there and I couldn’t see anything and I would and I would turn the light on and it would just things would get still but I would turn the light off and you would hear up muttering everywhere in the dark in the dark and then I’ll turn the light on pull cord totally quiet more bird so then I went back downstairs I got a headlamp and I didn’t have a but I thought spelunker his lamp yeah or a spelunker and I thought that Lily had like a butterfly net I couldn’t find it so I took a laundry basket that that’s smart it was a regular laundry basket and then we had this other thing that kind of looked like a mesh lid so I was going to take the laundry basket headlamp and the lid I was gonna catch the thing and put the lid on it bring it down and then I go up there and I turn the light off in it turn around i turn on my headlamp in it and i use that on the red LED infrared and it didn’t it kept fluttering around and i saw it land I looked over there and it was a black bird with the needle sharp beak about it I mean this crow it was smaller than a crow with like a needle up for a beak and I and so then I hit it I hit it with the light and I was turning it and all of a sudden the light changed to the LED light and the bird came right at me like it like it is coming right at me and I’m like trying to reach to you I didn’t he’s like finally a way out yeah like the light at the end of the tunnel yeah and I’m struggling to turn the light off and the bird comes right at me and you know boom I fall back to the bird hit you in the face no but I was afraid I think the laundry basket you made it seem like the bird did you know it was coming right at me based on his beak I think he would have just Boynton without writing it looks so sharp and so then I totally failed I hit myself in the face with the laundry basket and I just come back downstairs and Christy’s like did you get in online no and then I just decided I try to use my brain a little bit your brain I hope I left the attic open and it this is at night and I turned I open the front door of my house so the attic comes down then you go down the stairs to the first floor and then you go out the front door and I open I made a pathway and then I turned all the lights in the house off and I turn the light on the outside of the house the porch light on and it just waited really this worked and then after about 10 minutes I hear ya he flew all the way out he flew down the stairs and out the house flew all the way out and thinking as I didn’t turn that headlamp back on cuz he could have put my eye did you let go to ask calm or something like how did you know that know to do this it’s like a Yahoo Answers kind of thing nine-one-one i called 9-1-1 that’s remarkable when animals attack man has an animal ever gotten caught in your house like a squirrel or a bird or a gorilla or anything let us know in the comments how do you how do you deal with that have you are called 9-1-1 for something that you’re embarrassed to tell people about this is the perfect place to come clean tell us in the comments or leave a video response if there’s an animal trap in your house right now turn on your video camera turn on your headlamp video and send that to it and open the front door open the attic turn on off all the lights turn on the app exterior light and then just wait yeah apparently that works just wait listen this episode here we go what’s low-spin anybody any you know an easy spin when in doubt
