Vlog 7: We Found A Creature In Link’s House

So yesterday I was walking around the house and I smelled something, a stink. So I invited my friend Rhett to come over so we could investigate. This is my friend Rhett. Maybe you’ve met before. Hey, friend Link. You’re wearing a hat, okay. You want to go for a ride in my truck? No, you look like the type of guy who would be into a stink. I heard you got some of the stinks, I’m here. Okay, so I was walking around yesterday and I just smelled something that stunk right in this area. So what I want you to do is I want you to come over here and you tell me when you can smell something nasty. Here. Yep. Oh yeah. It’s a dead something. That is a dead animal. I feel like I gotta get some fresh air and come back in. Right. Yeah so right here in the hallway, I walk through here multiple times a day, I’m like God, something stinks. Now Lando had been sick and he went to Lily’s room to tell her and he vomited in front of her door. So for one day I thought that the vomit had not been cleaned up. But then we made sure that it was cleaned up and it started stinking worse and worse. I’m afraid what it might be. Okay, I’m reset, I got a nasal reset. All right, listen, let me show you this. So right here in my hallway, there’s this like utility closet. I want you to open this and I want you to smell in there. In this storage closet, is where I put the rat trap and I’ve caught two rats. Oh yeah. It’s in here, isn’t it? That’s like freaking road kill man. This is my furnace, you know, my heater? If I take this– Are we about to find a dead animal in there? I got a glove because I don’t like to touch the rat trap. I’ve caught two rats with this thing because we heard them scurrying around underneath the house. But then there’s a hole back there. See, right back there, that’s a hole. A hole to what? I don’t know, the wall. I think you might have a rat in the wall. You don’t think it’s under the house? I mean there’s only one way to find out if it’s under the house. You gotta go under the house. You know what, fine, I’m gonna go under my house, I’mma find a dead rat, I’m gonna pull it out and the stink is gonna be gone. I need to like change clothes if I’mma get under there ’cause it’s really tight. Well, you’ve got like smaller clothes? I’ve got like coveralls. I thought you had some kind of small clothes, clothes that make you smaller, Spanx, you got Spanx. You gotta get into your Spanx before– Dead rat, Spanx, yeah, I gotta put my Spanx on. Okay, get in your Spanx and then meet me outside. Hold on, before we do that I kind of want a coffee. Oh yeah, you got a new fancy coffee machine. Now that we’ve smelled road kill for the past 10 minutes, I’d really like a coffee. Wouldn’t you like one? Yeah, I don’t drink a lot of coffee but when I do it’s fancy. Might I recommend a flat white. You can have a coffee, you can have an espresso. No, I want a flat white, that’s my favorite drink. That’s yours. Here, I get one too. Hello, hey. Hey, we’re filming, you want to be in our vlog? I’m showing everybody. Hi. Hey Lily. We’re gonna find the stink. Oh yeah? Do you want to go under the house? I can’t, I have to go to the SNT. Okay. Okay fill water tank. Hey bud, how was school? Lincoln, we’re gonna find the stink. You better find it ’cause I was freezing in my room last night ’cause I had the fan on. You haven’t smelled it? No. Listen, he’s a teenage boy. He’s constantly either smelling himself or his own room and he can’t decipher between dead rats and that smell. What’s the stink? Are you telling me you haven’t smelled the stink in the hall? Go in the hallway, stand right there in the hallway. Is it this way? Right there, smell. Y’all are joking with me or something. I don’t smell it. Are you telling me you don’t smell anything? Okay now, yeah I smell it now. What’s it smell like? You smelling yourself? No. My nose has been a little stuffy so I’m kinda sick. What does it smell like? I’m kind of busy right now. This is a very artistic shot of you right now. It kind of seems like maybe this is a documentary about a plumber, the plumber with plants in his house. Plumbers can have plants. I’m going under my own house because I’m a man, I’m the man of the house. I go under the house, I find dead stuff, I pull ’em out and I put ’em in a bag. Can you do the same thing again but just act like you’re a plumber who likes plants? I’m gonna get a bag. In the side yard of the plumber who likes plants, you have what you would expect, plants. All right, so– There he is. Yeah, I got a head lamp, is it going? Nope, you put batteries in it? Got it? I got it. How’s that? Is that better? Oh yeah, that’s working. How ’bout this? Double. How ’bout this? Triple. How ’bout this? Red. Okay, where you going, right there? That’s gonna be a tough fit. No, it’s behind you. Back up. Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Now take that board off. You’re gonna need something. Oh rat! No, I’m just kidding. We’re definitely on team, only Link is doing this because there’s no way I could fit in that. Here, move that. You’re making me do everything. I’m gonna be doing the hard part in a little bit. Yeah Lincoln, come here, come on in here. I want you to watch. Learn something, boy. Learn something. Do you want to do it? No. All right, well stand behind that camera and make sure that it can film me. All right. The son of the plumber who loves plants also loves plants. I’m kind of nervous at this point. I’m kinda of nervous at this point as well. All right, I’m going down. That was good. That was cool, you all look very professional. I had some plants in that shot. Shoot man. I think you got to put your legs in first and then you gotta lay back. That’s the only way the human body can get in there. Was that? That was very convincing. Was that convincing? It looked like it was pulling you. Was that a plant? There’s a plant in here. That was not me. Seriously? That was not me. The wind blew it, I swear. Well you’re in charge of that one. It still running? Yeah. Oh gosh. Struggling already. And he’s in. Okay, I guess I’ll get down in here. I don’t see any dead thing yet. You smell anything? I’m not smelling anything under here. I would say follow your nose. Oh, this is a cool shot of your feet for the documentary. Just kind of move ’em in slow motion like a plumber would. It looks like it’s snowing dirt in here dude. Just move your feet in slow motion, more like a plumber. Now like a plumber who loves plants. There you go. All right, I got to get down to business here. All right, do it. There’s a big pile of something over there. It looks like it could be a nest. Oh, you got a nest? I have to find where the rats are going up into my system. Well I hope they’re not going up into your system. All right, so let me think about this. If it’s– Do you know where you’re at? Do you want me to go into the house and bang on the floor next to the thing? No, not yet, I don’t want you to leave me. I’m gonna go over to this nest and see if I can dislodge that. Maybe something’ll run out of it. All right, I just dislodged the nest. Oh really, what is it? It’s just a pile of crap. I don’t think anything was living in it. Oh yeah, I see a paw print. It looks much bigger than a rat. I mean I’m talking about a freaking skunk size. Oh, you got a dead skunk under there. Look at this freaking paw print. What, there’s a dead skunk? What’s up Lando? Your dad, who’s a plumber who loves plants, at least for the sake of this video, he’s under there trying to find a dead animal. I was not expecting this when I got home. Neither was I. Hey Rhett! What? I think there’s like an infant baby that’s been crawling under here. Oh! Oh gosh, like a possessed one? Yeah man, a one-armed baby. Rhett? Yeah? I’m ’bout ready to get out. All right, come on. Oh goodness gracious. Oh man, oh gosh. If I ever get out of here, I’m never going back under there. That’s a good, oh, this is the best shot of the whole documentary right here. I’ve found nothing. A lot of tight quarters and dust but no stink, no dead animals, which actually is very discouraging ’cause that means the dead is hiding somewhere else. You think it could be inside this thing? That’s the exhaust. Then you’d be smelling it all around the house. Yeah and when the heat comes on– Oh wait, wait, hold up, you see this hole? You got a hole right here. It’s been patched up. I gotta get my nose into it. I can’t quite, you got a straw, like a big, you got a big straw? Oh my gosh, this is science. All I smell is straw. Really? Yeah. So you don’t think it’s up there? I feel like maybe it’s like we can see it– Hey look, is that another hole right there? Where the way back? Yeah, get in there. Oh gosh, I don’t want to break anything. Does it stink in there? I’ve become immune to it. It happened so quickly, you become immune to it. Go get a breather, come back in. What is he doing? Okay reset. All right, come on in and just hold your breath. Hold your breath until– Which hole, which hole? Pick a hole, any hole. I think we got to go for that top hole. Yep, yep, I smelled it immediately. All right, what about right here? It’s everywhere, once you get some fresh air. Don’t think less of me. How do you get up into the hole? It’s not the rats that are in your house, it’s what you do about them that counts. Can we get into the roof? Can we get into that? I think right there. I entrust you with my head lamp. You’re becoming a plumber, planter master. I don’t think that was as good as mine. Well, it’s harder to do. Okay, couple of things to report, there is an old rat trap up here, like an old school one. But there is my friend, fresh rat poop. There’s also some sort of like rat-chewed, like a lottery ticket, what is that? It’s like a rat won the lottery and came up here and retired. It’s like swiss cheese. Oh gosh, there’s like a place where like a rat had a diarrhea or died or something, oh gosh. Can I get up there? And then there’s another rat trap. I think your dead rat might be up here. Okay, just come down and give me a report. What? I mean it is a biohazard up there. Oh no, seriously? There’s potential health code violations, I might have to call somebody. This is not a restaurant. Don’t open a restaurant here. Link’s going up. That’s good, that’s better, that’s good that’s what I should’ve done. Was that good? That was very convincing. This is worse than being under the house because it stinks up here and I know I’m about to find something. Yeah, but it’s fun kind of. I see a hole. The one I stuck the straw in? Right there, yeah. Crap man, this is so gross. Oh I can look down into the shaft. You think he’s in the shaft? He might be. I can’t really tell if it stinks worse over here. I feel like I’m so close. Oh gosh, you’re going over. Oh, I found it. You found it? I found it, oh gosh. It’s a freaking bloated rat. You found it. I’mma try to show it to you. It’s right there. Crap. It’s a little too far for me to get. Do you need like a stick or something? No, I got it. Oh gosh, okay, there’s the bag. I’ve sealed it up in the bag. I’ve got to get out of here, I’m going kind of nuts. All right, you ready? Yeah. Am I on it? Yep, yep. That was a nightmare. Are you proud of me? I’m so glad you did that and not me but it is your house. Lando, you proud of me? I’m so confused. Oh my gosh. All right, make sure you get the cover from over there. I got the rat! I’m the hero of my family and it still stinks, we need to double bag it maybe. I’m just so freaking relieved that I found this thing, not only so that this vlog could have a point but more importantly so that my house wouldn’t stink. I’m so freaking embarrassed. I mean job well done, Link. I got to say, I mean you went low, you went high, and– Is it recyclable? I mean I’m sure there’s somebody who could turn a rat into something but I don’t think the recycling people would appreciate that. But you sure you shouldn’t just bury him? I mean like– Nope, boom. I feel at least we should like, we should say something, we should say some words. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here at the trash cans to celebrate the life of the rat who made it all the way to the attic, he hit the big time. May he rest in peace, or she, I didn’t check the genitals.
