Speaker 1 (00:01):
Get your heads together and we're gonna start to party.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Start.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
I'm ready to party.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The Elvis Duran After Party.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
It is the After Show podcast. Let's go. We got
a full house. We've got Gandhi.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
We've got Danielle at her house hello, and me and
my house. And there's Scottie Bee in the Serial Killers
podcast room. I've got Scary, I've got Gandhi, Garrett, we
have several guzole the show. Hey, let's talk about raccoons.
You know, Danielle got in touch with me last night said,
we just found a little baby raccoon, maybe two days old.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
What do we do? How's he doing today?
Speaker 5 (00:41):
So he's actually doing great.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
So Spencer found him and you know, we tried to
reunite him with the mom.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Did not work.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
So Spencer took care of him most of the night
and we just kept checking on him.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
And we've talked to it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Actually raccoon, I guess, uh specialist or rehabilitators.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Or handler or whatever.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, and she's like, yeah, she rehabs them and then
she puts them out back into the wild when they're ready.
So she said, I can take it today after eleven.
So that's the plan. But she said, keep it warm overnight.
That's the most important thing. If you want to give
it a couple of drops of electrolytes like a pedia light,
that wouldn't be fine, and that will take care of
the baby all night long.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
So that's what we did.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And he slept soundly all night once he was cozy,
and I think he exhausted himself by crying so much.
And he still just curled a bit of ball sleeping
right now. Oh, oh my gosh, the cutest thing ever.
It's so hard not to want to keep it. I'm
not even kidding you.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Keep Mail, show it, hold it up to his camera
the photo.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
If you're watching this podcast, you'll be able to see
this cuddly little Roger the raccoon.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We're assuming it to Mail. We don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, we'd have no end hold on trying to find
the pic.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Can I show you my favorite part of the picture
before she shows you the whole picture?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yes, look at this little hand. It is cut alright.
Look at him, look you, beauty, he's just the little
fluff ball. And his eyes aren't even open yet. He
couldn't even see You should have seen him trying to
feel his way around the towel last night because he
just couldn't see.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Well, he's looking for the heat of his mom, is
what he's looking for.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
You, Just like cats, you know, raccoons they have these
noses that are sensitive to heat, so before their eyes
are open, if they get lost away from mom, they
can find the heat and get back to her.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
So I think he's finally happy in his blanket, like
I think he's used to it. He think maybe he
thinks it's his mom now and he's honestly just cuddled
up in this little ball and he's sleeping every now
and then you see him go.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Side.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Well, on the other side of the raccoon world in Westfield,
New Jersey, they're running rampant where Garrett lives.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
They're running rampant over there.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yep, there's three raccoons that have been biting people over
the past week. So my question is, like, how does
he like where did the rabies come from from the
raccoon because obviously they're not born with it, Like, like,
isn't that why they're biting people? Like because they have rabies?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh no, they bite people with or without rape.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Oh no, that doesn't doesn't mean they're rabbit because they're
biting people raccoons and actually just bite people if they
feel like they're threatened.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
But they do get rag they get rabies from other animals. Yeah,
without doubt.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, so they the town is like on alert. So
it's like every time they might see a raccoon. Problem
is like people think they see raccoons, but it's like
a fox or it's a cat. So so there's been
all these posts all all online, like I think I
saw it. Well, don't post it. Call someone and tell
them you saw the you saw you saw the raccoon.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I mean the raccoons.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Raccoons are everywhere though, How can you like, there's three
raccoons at Westfield right, there's hundreds of raccoons in Westfield.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That we need to shut it all down, find all
the raccoons. I mean, they're biting people. For God's sake.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
Those people probably deserved it.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
It could be if you try to mess with one Gandhi,
you try a pet one, they get scared, they can
bite it. Have they have they tested any of these
people for rabies at all?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Apparently they're they've been tested. There hasn't been any issue
at least posted. But who knows, Like it's I think
it's one of those things that I don't think anybody's
gonna come out and say, oh, I have rabies there
every everybody. Everybody has not said so, but everybody's assuming
that they do.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
If they test positive for rabies, they will be they
will be outed. They have to say a rabies case
in the in the town.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Well usually that's what I'm dealing with back at home.
So I've been staying inside, like I've been dear.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Clear of raccoons other than you know, the one in
Daniel's box.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Big of rabies. They're like I took a nighttime bike
ride the other day with the light on the path.
There were bats everywhere. I was so scared I was
dodging bats. I didn't realize that. I didn't realize that
there were bats here.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Bats are everywhere. I didn't know.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
The only time I ever knew a bat was a
sleepway camp. When people are like, oh, no, they're gonna
come down and get stuck in your hair from the RAF.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
No they don't. They don't. I know bats are everywhere everywhere.
I did. I did not know this me either.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
They don't come out until like really dark yeah, so
you didn't see them.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
They're there?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Yeah, apparently because so I was on the bike path.
It was like nine point thirty, it was dark, and
I had my headlight on. So I guess all the
flies come out, and the bats come out to get
the flies and the most exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
That's why we love them. You know, did you screech?
Speaker 7 (05:22):
I was concerned. I didn't screech. I was with my girlfriend.
I was like, what is that. It's like they're bats.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Worried about were you weren't worried about rabies or about
a vampire biting you and you turning into a dracula.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
I think I was more just like astonished that there
were bats on the bike trail, that's all. I wasn't
really worried. I just didn't understand. Bats are super cool, man.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
They are Bats are good. Are they be afraid of bets?
Speaker 4 (05:46):
No, but they're They don't have great vision, but they
have fantastic sonars so they can fuel their way around.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Do bats have rabies? Yes, yeah, they can some cany
you know.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Back to nursing a raccoon. Back to health, Danielle, I
got hand it to you. I give you a lot
of credit for going through the length of care and
time and energy that you put into this.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Wait, wait, you wouldn't have done that.
Speaker 6 (06:10):
He was about to say something horrible.
Speaker 8 (06:13):
Ca I just feel like I'm thinking in the in
the world of of of animals, where I would draw
the line, and for me, I think I think I
would help out a dog, I would help out a cat. Yeah,
I just don't know if I would go beyond that.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Now I would.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
I may make a phone call on its behalf and
they oh, something is in the road here or something.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
We need help, would instagram, But to bring to.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
Bring it into my house and to like do it
to the level of what you and Sheldon and.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
The kids are doing. I mean, hats off to you.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
What the the problem is is we did call people,
and the person that can actually help it can't take
it till eleven o'clock this morning. So we're not going
to just leave it out there to die.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Maybe I would just put it in a shoe box
outside or something.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I don't know. But you brought it into your home.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
Shit.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I mean he's actually not in the house because it's
too cold for him in the house, but he has
he has a very comfortable surrounding.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
We keep checking on it.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
We've all been taking turns making sure he's okay, setting
our alarms to check on him.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
So yeah, well, look on your behalf here. Scary.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
But unless you look it up or make some phone calls,
you really should not self care. You should not care
for an animal, a wild animal like that, right, because
you don't know what you can do. What you think
you're doing right could be wrong with that animal. And
secondly it could hurt you, and you could do the disease.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Or something right. I could feed it the wrong thing.
I mean, but Daniel and Sheldon actually did.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
They did a lot of investigating and googling and called
us and so they were very careful.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Yeah no, because I remember producer Sam like found like
a bird in the road and like she was like,
hold everything, I'll be late for work. We got to
take care of this bird. And I'm like, wow, that's
that's cool, I guess.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
But sure living I draw the line of birds, scream.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You see where I'm coming from here, the bird and
sand behind me.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
The price of admission on them. I will say.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I was riding my bike and I saw a limping
Canada geese, a goose, whatever it was, and it was
it was like lopsided and the wing was hanging down.
It was like, oh my god, I feel really bad.
I don't know what to do. No one cares about
these stupid things they do. They make jackins out of them.
I mean I went back around the block and by
(08:26):
the time I came around, I must have like hobbled
into the woods.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Like but what would I have done? Called the police?
I mean, what do you do?
Speaker 8 (08:31):
Oh, if you are sad, you take it, you make
a whole home for it.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I would have called my dog to chase it.
Speaker 6 (08:36):
They have animal rescue, they.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Have rehabs for these these animals.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
People do this to take care of them. The woman
that we called, she.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Has taken care of so many raccoons.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
She rehabs them, she takes care of them, she nurses
them with their babies, and then when they're ready, she
releases them back into the water.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Very admirable of you.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Scar is very reward based about things, because when we
were watching it for me right exactly this morning, we
were talking about Mario and Princess Peach and that they
are not romantically involved, they're just friends. And scary is
a poll that Mario, for just a friend, would go
out of his way to ever save her? He was
like no, so like, only if Princess Peach put out,
(09:13):
would Scary have gone to do anything?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Yeah, man's insane.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
I can't believe it.
Speaker 8 (09:17):
I've lived a lie all this time, playing Mario Brothers,
and like you know, dealing with all the Cooper Troopers
and and facing Bowser and Scary.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
All all your friends, I mean, Danielle and Gandhi are
your buddies here, wouldn't you wouldn't you go out of
your way to protect them even though they're not putting
out for you?
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, but I'm not going down some hesitation.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Got a rusty pipe for us? That's really rude. We've
known you a long time.
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Scared He draws the line at raccoon and rusty pipe.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I mean, Mario goes into sewers when I go into
a sewer, for you, guys, you wouldn't go into lava.
I need to believe that you would. Scary.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
All right, we got to get out of here and
off of this mess. Scary once again, your big disappointment.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
He's out everybody by
