So this guy, I don't Idon't remember exactly what city it was.
This guy comes up on like anobservatory that like kind of like a I
can't think of what's a famous observatory, A famous observatory, right, the
loud one that you can get to, like the average person can't walk it
up to that. But anyway,an observatory, right, YEA perfect Okay,
(00:24):
that's the closest one. So anyway, he walks up to the observatory,
and when he gets to the observatory, he's like looking around a little
bit, like it's quiet, andhe looks inside and he sees like there's
a cafe inside the observatory, right, like a little restaurant area. It's
a tourist place. And inside thecafe, he looks in there and he
(00:45):
sees a dozen or so people justlaying flat on the floor, flat on
the floor. Nobody's moving, He'sjust laying there. They're just laying there.
What does the guy do? Panos, He calls N one one,
He calls nine one one, andhe reports there are twelve dead people inside
this restaurant of this observatory, likethere's like some mass killing has taken place.
(01:11):
I don't know if the gunman ishere, whatever is. He calls
nine one one, he's freaking out. There's there's twelve people laying on the
floor, sirens, cop cars,ambulances. It turns into a response like
you can't imagine. You can't imaginethe response of what showed up at this
(01:34):
observatory to see what the hell's goneon. And remember they're telling the guy
get away, get away. Theydon't know what's going on inside the observatory.
You don't know if you've got agumm in on the loose, you
don't know what you got going on. The way you set this up,
I feel like I do. Whathappened was this yoga class had rented out
(01:57):
the cafe and they were lay onthe floor doing some meditation. At the
same time. This guy stumbled onthe window and called, Well, I
don't know, Diane asked the guywho called nine one one. Apparently not,
because if you looked into a windowand you saw twelve people on yoga
mats laying down, you maybe wouldn'tcall. Well, then maybe they weren't
(02:22):
bodies laying on the floor. Icalled nine one one. They said.
The turnout was unbelievable. To thepoint where to the point where the police
department had to send out a pressrelease saying that there was a if you
like, if you saw the largepolice response in presence at the observatory,
(02:42):
like you could see like if thatif that's a museum or whatever it is,
you could see where people will belike, what the f happened?
There? Some yoga? They werelaying on the floor meditating. They had
no idea that's what. Now that'son a grand scale where and like at
that point you were like, well, that's a boner. Now did I
mess that up? No? Youknow what I mean, like you would
feel stupid. Yeah, never achievedmental callness. No, no, but
(03:07):
again his intention was right, ofhis intention was good. But that's an
upsie. But that's a major mistake. Yes, yeah, I was thinking
much smaller scale. Okay, letme give you another one. Let me
give you another one. Police respondedto a call from a fourteen year old
(03:30):
who was home alone around ten o'clockat night when he heard creaking noises inside
as well as a strange lamp lightflickering inside the living room just off the
area of the house that he wascalling from. So he calls nine one
one. He's hearing noises, hesees a flickering of light. Obviously,
(03:53):
he thinks someone is broken into thehouse. Fourteen years old. He scared,
probably scared the pissie out of him. He calls nine one one,
cops show up. There's for anintruder. Investigating officers noted that the part
a part of the house was undersome construction, which probably led to the
(04:14):
noises. The lights appeared to befrom cars on the street behind the house,
and they were just flickering a littlebit. They reported no suspicious activity
inside or outside the house. Okay, but okay, it's a kid.
Okay, you're fourteen. Yeah,you're fourteen, mister newspaper man. Are
you gonna use my name? No? No, but I have to go
(04:35):
to school on my back. No. No, at fourteen, you're investigating
that, well, I mean,you don't know is has he not been
left alone a lot? Or youknow what I mean? Like you're fourteen?
He still he gets scared. I'mnot I'm not art. People get
scared. I've probably been scared withinthe last year. I didn't call nine
(04:55):
one one. Tell us more aboutthat. Yeah, the you had a
moment, you were going to callnine one one this year. No,
no, no, I'm not.I'm not like holding something. I'm just
thinking. There's probably been a timein the last year where I've been like,
oh, that's a that's kind ofscary. But I know what's a
good called nine one one. Iknow everyone's looking at me or thinking about
(05:18):
it. The only time in mylife I've called nine one one is for
Lindsey giving birth see, and that'sfine, that's a good reason, thank
you. If it was not afalse alarm, I called nine one one
for a brush fire in the nineone one operator could not have been ruder,
could not have been ruder, likemaking you think that you overreacted.
(05:39):
We already know. I was like, good, let it burn. Sorry
I called you, apologized for callingthe No, no, I just hung
up. I called there was abrush fire and I called and it looked
like it was just starting. SoI called nine one one and they're like,
what's the emergency. I was like, I'm driving on Route three.
It looks like there's a fire that'sbroken out in a big brush fire.
(06:01):
Yeah we know, all right,Yeah, but you're told to do something
like that because you didn't never knowhow quick, that can like go up.
Now that being said, that wasa real reason. Now in hindsight,
I don't know that I needed tocall for a fire. Yeah,
of course I do. Gus Gusrights on X. I called nine one
because of building in Arlington had sparksflying off the roof. Oh no,
(06:26):
the dispatch called me back and toldme I had to go talk to the
firefighters because there was nothing there.Apparently it was just some construction workers using
a grinder. The color got punished. Why don't you go talk to the
firefighter. He's like, no,by the way, that's perfect. So
(06:50):
that's perfect. They have you confrontthe people that have wasted their s there's
no chance. Oh I would nevergo confrol. No, of course not.
But that's a perfect example of ohmy god, there's there's sparks and
and and mayhem on top of thatbuilding. I wouldn't know it's a grinder.
(07:14):
Gust. Gust goes on to rightthat me and the firefire agreed that
the mystery sparks how I refer tothem on the call, Uh, flying
off a roof at night is worthdialing. I don't if I were pulling
up to our building and I sawsparks and something coming off the top.
I think i'd call Matt Howell,the engineer, yeah, and be like,
(07:39):
hey, there's like sparks. CarI'm stuck on top of the building
with the spark No, Diane,I would see it from the car on
approach. I'm how they do alot for the building, but they're also
not the building's engineers. Yeah,I know, but I would be concerned
whether we could do the show.Okay, that's line three. Hi,
(08:01):
Ylli in the morning. Hey,it's Jennifer Murphy from Alexandria. I was
calling because one night we were cominghome. It was about ten o'clock at
night. I think three of theboys were with me, and we lived
kind of near Holme's Run Park,so the park's there, and we're near
Call de Sac and we walked upto the house and we could hear this
woman screaming and it was so frighteningand we're like, oh my god,
(08:24):
we have to call. And thenwe heard it again and I was like,
oh, maybe it's an animal.And then we heard it two more
times when we're like, no,no, net, we're calling, and
so I call and got the ladyon the phone and the dispatcher and find
out that and as just as I'mcalling this fox walks to the call de
(08:46):
sac in the middle of the callde sac and makes that noise again,
and the and the dispatcher was like, it's a fox, it's in heat,
and it sounds like a woman screaming. It was awful, and I
heard that it's scary, the scarit is so scary. She was,
and I was, of course apologized, you know, but she was like,
(09:07):
no, no, no, anytimeyou can hear any call us we
want, you know, will theycan make the call, whether they need
to go or not. So itis nine one one flooded with fox and
heat calls. Oh, I betyou they because she seemed not plussed about
it at all, like I wouldnot like it head, I would not
know. My first thought, doessound like somebody's getting attacked and it's it's
(09:31):
it sounds like a woman screaming.Yeah. Did you call nine one one?
Yeah, diant. I think myneighbors were like, that's a fox,
and you who were standing up wewere standing outside and we were kind
of like a like shocked at thenoise. And when one neighbors like,
no, no, no, that'show foxes screamed, Hey, ma'am,
did you Jennifer, did you feellike a big boob? Kind of but
not. It reminded me, youknow, it reminded me of when people
(09:54):
call nine one one for the beatwhen they have see their red poop in
the toilet because they eat and they'relike, oh my god, I got
cancer. They probably shouldn't call nineone one for that. How not just
a doctor or how about wait tillyour next bottle moving to make sure you're
okay? Yeah, people call nineone one because they they cracked blood.
Oh I don't know. I don'tknow what they call, but you know,
(10:16):
they know. It's kind of like, you know, oh my god,
you know, I felt like,probably the people are the same.
I feel like barring my heart comingout my butt. I don't know that
I would call for that, allright, bag, but they're you know,
it's like, oh, it's justa fox very good. I appreciate
it, Thank you, ma'am,thank you. I get that one though,
Yeah, that one I get like, if you thought you heard somebody
(10:39):
screaming, would you want to findthe well? No, you see animals
like that that go viral all thetime, Does they sound like human.
No, no, not not thatpart. But if you did hear someone
screaming, like did they tell you, like if you think it's someone scream
forget that, like you're trying todebate is it a fox or not?
But you think it's someone screaming,like, they don't tell you to try
to figure out what's going on,like they tell you call right, Yeah,
(11:03):
yeah, absolutely, i'd call.Yeah, I would call. I
think it's like that meme of thebeaver yelling Dave hi Yelli at the morning,
Kay it me, yeah, Hi, who's this? I'm not gonna
(11:24):
say, but I'm a confident area. So the first thing, the fox
question all the damn time? Ohreally called all the damn time for someone
screaming in the woods, screaming downby the creek, and it's always a
fox. But at the same time, you don't want to tell somebody not
to call for that. Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely, And then the second
time two others for we really quick. I used to work for Metro Transit
(11:48):
down in DC. We would getsuspicious item calls all the time. Got
a call for a suspicious item atsome station. I get there, it's
an empty toughwar container. A cleartough war container under a bench. You
call him for that. Okay,that's true, that's true. All right,
(12:09):
give you the last one. Thelast one happened Christmas Eve just last
year, three times and then aboutan hour and a half. I don't
want to give away where I am, but but there's a building, like
a high rise apartment building, andthere's all like an airplane style light on
top, you know, for aircraftand all that, because do mark where
the building top is? Sure?And so Christmas Eve it was kind of
foggy and cloudy, and the cloudsare hovering over this light. Three times
(12:31):
in an hour and a half,the fire department responded for flames coming from
the top of the building. Ohjust because of the flashing light. Yeah,
dude. But again, like youcan't get mad at those people.
I mean, they think like this. Can This guy saw twelve people laying
in a cafe. He thought theywere dead. They were mass shooting,
mass shooting. I know, Iknow, appreciated officer. Thank you,
(12:56):
my friend. Be safe. HiYEI at the morning. So when I
was a kid growing up, Iwas outside playing by the elementary school and
guy cooled over and we'll take hewas out waving a gun. So I
ran home. I told my mom, Hey, this guy's a gun at
the school. We should do something. She tallge. Cops showed up and
(13:16):
he ended up just having a tireiron because he was changing the flat.
That's a good one. There wasfour or five cops showed up, drawled
their guns everything like that, andhe's like, I'm just changing the tire.
Wow. Yeah, no, that'sscary. That's scary. But you
(13:37):
can see where that set somebody off, ye sure, especially near school line
five? Hi yelli at the boardingHello, hell yes, sir, Yes,
sir? Hello, HELLI a canon? Yeah, I got you.
(13:58):
Can you hear me? Yes?So I'd rather never sear my name.
But my brother in law called thepolice because they heard voices downstairs in the
and in the bedroom. I'm ina certain delever room right, And what
happened was the TV was on,but he told the police to kick in
(14:18):
the door after he let them intothe garage. And did they hello,
yeah, god, damn it,damn it. So what do you do
there? TVs are surprised. Ifeel like they would assess that for themselves
(14:41):
upon a rival. Oh before theykicked the door yeah, like, we'll
be there in a minute. Butwhile we're getting there, kicked the door
down. I don't know. Ilike that one though, the door no,
because you could you could see that. If you didn't know and you
heard voices downstairs and you were younger, you could think that somebody had been
(15:01):
broken in. Jay writes on Xmoved out to the country. I heard
a kid's voice yelling. Helped me. It was ten pm at night.
I got out the shotgun and startedmoving towards the sound. Turns out it
was a peacock. They didn't callthat one one though. Hi, Yelli
(15:24):
in the morning, Hi, goodmorning. This is Lacy. Yes,
Lacy, what can I do foryou? Okay? I got a good
one for yes. So this waswhen myself and two other girls were rooming
together in a townhouse and it wasa Friday night, and we ended up
calling the next morning because we thoughtsomeone broke into her house and pooped on
(15:46):
our floor. And I was theone that had to do it. And
it was one of the most embarrassingsituations. You called nine one one because
you had someone pooped on the floorof your house. Little yeah, A
little backstory. So I lived therethat evening I was staying at my boyfriend's
house hold on. Sorry, Ihad to dump there. I had to
(16:07):
get rid of that. Sorry.Wait, so your friend called to ask
if you knew whether there was anybodythat would come dump on the floor,
and I'm like, what is goingon? So they're like, well,
we went, we were up,we were hanging out. I guess they
went to a restaurant bar, cameback. She had invited one of her
(16:30):
girlfriends over and they make up.The next morning to our kitchen table,
which is a small kitchen table,and there's the biggest pile of who right
next to the chair and skate markson the chair. All of them swore
it was not done. So Icome over, I see the situation and
(16:52):
they're like, we have to callwe have to call the cops. Someone
broke in. I'm like, howdo you there's nothing here? It was
one of you guys. You're like, it was wasn't So we jumped to
calling the cops. This big oldguido guy from New York comes to our
house. He could not keep astraight face and he's like, you guys
have got to be kidding me.And he was like, okay, I
(17:18):
guess it could have been like ateenager in your neighborhood put up some cameras.
But it was to this day oneof the funniest stories from our friend
groups. And we never figured outwho was I think it was my friend's
crazy friend to stay the night,and she was just too embarrassed, and
that she knew that we called thecops. She knew that we went through
this whole ordeal because I was like, I don't think anyone broke in,
(17:41):
but the other girls they're like,we we were nervous. We don't want
to stay here, you know,we got to at least file a report.
I'm like, this is the mostabsurd thing I think anyone has called
nine one one four? Can Iask, probably as a good question,
no, but why thank you,ma'am? Thank you? Are you supposed
to like, let's let's pretend andlisten. I get it. If you
(18:02):
thought somebody broke into your house andtook a dump, you should probably call
the police. If you get homeand your front door is open and stuff
is stolen. Like I know,they say, don't go in, right,
But is that a nine one onecall or is that non emergency?
I'd say that's yeah, even thoughyou have no idea, I guess,
(18:25):
not knowing whether there. Yeah,but you're not. You're not in the
house. I know you're You're sayingyou're told not to go in or you
shouldn't go in. And the onlyreason I know that. You know how
I know that is I was housesitting for Lander once in Houston and he
was supposed to be gone for theweekend. And I showed up on Saturday
(18:48):
evening like I'd been out with somefriends. And I showed up on Saturday
evening. Every light in that housewas on, the front door was open,
and his two dogs were in thefront yard, and I went running
in of that house to see whatthe hell could could have could have gone
wrong? Well, it turns outone of them had gotten sick, Lander
or his wife, and they camehome, but they didn't let me know.
(19:11):
But when I was talking to him, when so we ended up talking
about, Lander was like, whywould you go running into a house if
you thought someone I was like,I thought something was wrong. Yeah,
So I just went running in.They're like, you don't. You don't
run into a house that you thinksomebody has broken into. Did you ever
do anything well for them. Idid everything great for that. When it
came to like don't bring don't bringup the other don't bring up the other
(19:34):
one. Oh, someone's listening.How often nine one one, we'll say
either don't go in, And there'smany times when they will say, like
get out of the house. Ohwell, if I thought somebody broke in
and I was in the house,I'm definitely getting out of the house.
I'm saying. If you call becauseyou smell gas, oh, always get
out of the house. Yeah,which is why Aaron M. Barlow called
(19:56):
for a gas leak awful fumes.The fire department showed up and then showed
me that my hungover ass had putnumerous Deli meat containers in the dishwasher and
they all melted. You know,she let that out. Oh my god.
(20:26):
Hey, thanks for the call.RUFUS Line six. Hi Elli in
the morning. Hello is this me? Yeah? Hi, who's this?
Hey? This is Martha. Sowe have a log cabin down in North
Carolina in the mountains and we havethis it's kind of been a running family
(20:48):
joke. But it's this mannequin typefigure and every year when we close up
the house for the winner, becauseit's not winners. We usually dress him
up like we give him a fearand glasses and a newspaper. I was
to given a chair and going behold. There was a massive snowstorm that winner,
(21:08):
and they went around doing rescue checkson all of the people up in
the mountains, and they looked throughthe skylight and saw him and thought it
was someone that had frozen to death. As they broke into the house,
had a whole rescue effort to rescueCharlie. All we can find out it
was a mannequin. That's awesome.The best part is fast forward ten years.
(21:33):
My dog had gotten stuck under thishouse chasing something, so we had
to call the fire department to comerescue the dog. And the guy that
walks in goes, wait a minute, I've been here before. And it
was the guy that had catched itdown the door to rescue of the mannequin.
That's awesome.
So this guy, I don't Idon't remember exactly what city it was.
This guy comes up on like anobservatory that like kind of like a I
can't think of what's a famous observatory, A famous observatory, right, the
loud one that you can get to, like the average person can't walk it

Call de Sac and we walked upto the house and we could hear this
woman screaming and it was so frighteningand we're like, oh my god,
(08:24):
we have to call. And thenwe heard it again and I was like,
oh, maybe it's an animal.And then we heard it two more
times when we're like, no,no, net, we're calling, and
so I call and got the ladyon the phone and the dispatcher and find
out that and as just as I'mcalling this fox walks to the call de
(08:46):
sac in the middle of the callde sac and makes that noise again,
and the and the dispatcher was like, it's a fox, it's in heat,
and it sounds like a woman screaming. It was awful, and I
heard that it's scary, the scarit is so scary. She was,
and I was, of course apologized, you know, but she was like,
(09:07):
no, no, no, anytimeyou can hear any call us we
want, you know, will theycan make the call, whether they need
to go or not. So itis nine one one flooded with fox and
heat calls. Oh, I betyou they because she seemed not plussed about
it at all, like I wouldnot like it head, I would not
know. My first thought, doessound like somebody's getting attacked and it's it's
(09:31):
it sounds like a woman screaming.Yeah. Did you call nine one one?
Yeah, diant. I think myneighbors were like, that's a fox,
and you who were standing up wewere standing outside and we were kind
of like a like shocked at thenoise. And when one neighbors like,
no, no, no, that'show foxes screamed, Hey, ma'am,
did you Jennifer, did you feellike a big boob? Kind of but
not. It reminded me, youknow, it reminded me of when people
(09:54):
call nine one one for the beatwhen they have see their red poop in
the toilet because they eat and they'relike, oh my god, I got
cancer. They probably shouldn't call nineone one for that. How not just
a doctor or how about wait tillyour next bottle moving to make sure you're
okay? Yeah, people call nineone one because they they cracked blood.
Oh I don't know. I don'tknow what they call, but you know,
(10:16):
they know. It's kind of like, you know, oh my god,
you know, I felt like,probably the people are the same.
I feel like barring my heart comingout my butt. I don't know that
I would call for that, allright, bag, but they're you know,
it's like, oh, it's justa fox very good. I appreciate
it, Thank you, ma'am,thank you. I get that one though,
Yeah, that one I get like, if you thought you heard somebody
(10:39):
screaming, would you want to findthe well? No, you see animals
like that that go viral all thetime, Does they sound like human.
No, no, not not thatpart. But if you did hear someone
screaming, like did they tell you, like if you think it's someone scream
forget that, like you're trying todebate is it a fox or not?
But you think it's someone screaming,like, they don't tell you to try
to figure out what's going on,like they tell you call right, Yeah,
(11:03):
yeah, absolutely, i'd call.Yeah, I would call. I
think it's like that meme of thebeaver yelling Dave hi Yelli at the morning,
Kay it me, yeah, Hi, who's this? I'm not gonna
(11:24):
say, but I'm a confident area. So the first thing, the fox
question all the damn time? Ohreally called all the damn time for someone
screaming in the woods, screaming downby the creek, and it's always a
fox. But at the same time, you don't want to tell somebody not
to call for that. Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely, And then the second
time two others for we really quick. I used to work for Metro Transit
(11:48):
down in DC. We would getsuspicious item calls all the time. Got
a call for a suspicious item atsome station. I get there, it's
an empty toughwar container. A cleartough war container under a bench. You
call him for that. Okay,that's true, that's true. All right,
(12:09):
give you the last one. Thelast one happened Christmas Eve just last
year, three times and then aboutan hour and a half. I don't
want to give away where I am, but but there's a building, like
a high rise apartment building, andthere's all like an airplane style light on
top, you know, for aircraftand all that, because do mark where
the building top is? Sure?And so Christmas Eve it was kind of
foggy and cloudy, and the cloudsare hovering over this light. Three times
(12:31):
in an hour and a half,the fire department responded for flames coming from
the top of the building. Ohjust because of the flashing light. Yeah,
dude. But again, like youcan't get mad at those people.
I mean, they think like this. Can This guy saw twelve people laying
in a cafe. He thought theywere dead. They were mass shooting,
mass shooting. I know, Iknow, appreciated officer. Thank you,
(12:56):
my friend. Be safe. HiYEI at the morning. So when I
was a kid growing up, Iwas outside playing by the elementary school and
guy cooled over and we'll take hewas out waving a gun. So I
ran home. I told my mom, Hey, this guy's a gun at
the school. We should do something. She tallge. Cops showed up and
(13:16):
he ended up just having a tireiron because he was changing the flat.
That's a good one. There wasfour or five cops showed up, drawled
their guns everything like that, andhe's like, I'm just changing the tire.
Wow. Yeah, no, that'sscary. That's scary. But you
(13:37):
can see where that set somebody off, ye sure, especially near school line
five? Hi yelli at the boardingHello, hell yes, sir, Yes,
sir? Hello, HELLI a canon? Yeah, I got you.
(13:58):
Can you hear me? Yes?So I'd rather never sear my name.
But my brother in law called thepolice because they heard voices downstairs in the
and in the bedroom. I'm ina certain delever room right, And what
happened was the TV was on,but he told the police to kick in
(14:18):
the door after he let them intothe garage. And did they hello,
yeah, god, damn it,damn it. So what do you do
there? TVs are surprised. Ifeel like they would assess that for themselves
(14:41):
upon a rival. Oh before theykicked the door yeah, like, we'll
be there in a minute. Butwhile we're getting there, kicked the door
down. I don't know. Ilike that one though, the door no,
because you could you could see that. If you didn't know and you
heard voices downstairs and you were younger, you could think that somebody had been
(15:01):
broken in. Jay writes on Xmoved out to the country. I heard
a kid's voice yelling. Helped me. It was ten pm at night.
I got out the shotgun and startedmoving towards the sound. Turns out it
was a peacock. They didn't callthat one one though. Hi, Yelli
(15:24):
in the morning, Hi, goodmorning. This is Lacy. Yes,
Lacy, what can I do foryou? Okay? I got a good
one for yes. So this waswhen myself and two other girls were rooming
together in a townhouse and it wasa Friday night, and we ended up
calling the next morning because we thoughtsomeone broke into her house and pooped on
(15:46):
our floor. And I was theone that had to do it. And
it was one of the most embarrassingsituations. You called nine one one because
you had someone pooped on the floorof your house. Little yeah, A
little backstory. So I lived therethat evening I was staying at my boyfriend's
house hold on. Sorry, Ihad to dump there. I had to
(16:07):
get rid of that. Sorry.Wait, so your friend called to ask
if you knew whether there was anybodythat would come dump on the floor,
and I'm like, what is goingon? So they're like, well,
we went, we were up,we were hanging out. I guess they
went to a restaurant bar, cameback. She had invited one of her
(16:30):
girlfriends over and they make up.The next morning to our kitchen table,
which is a small kitchen table,and there's the biggest pile of who right
next to the chair and skate markson the chair. All of them swore
it was not done. So Icome over, I see the situation and
(16:52):
they're like, we have to callwe have to call the cops. Someone
broke in. I'm like, howdo you there's nothing here? It was
one of you guys. You're like, it was wasn't So we jumped to
calling the cops. This big oldguido guy from New York comes to our
house. He could not keep astraight face and he's like, you guys
have got to be kidding me.And he was like, okay, I
(17:18):
guess it could have been like ateenager in your neighborhood put up some cameras.
But it was to this day oneof the funniest stories from our friend
groups. And we never figured outwho was I think it was my friend's
crazy friend to stay the night,and she was just too embarrassed, and
that she knew that we called thecops. She knew that we went through
this whole ordeal because I was like, I don't think anyone broke in,
(17:41):
but the other girls they're like,we we were nervous. We don't want
to stay here, you know,we got to at least file a report.
I'm like, this is the mostabsurd thing I think anyone has called
nine one one four? Can Iask, probably as a good question,
no, but why thank you,ma'am? Thank you? Are you supposed
to like, let's let's pretend andlisten. I get it. If you
(18:02):
thought somebody broke into your house andtook a dump, you should probably call
the police. If you get homeand your front door is open and stuff
is stolen. Like I know,they say, don't go in, right,
But is that a nine one onecall or is that non emergency?
I'd say that's yeah, even thoughyou have no idea, I guess,
(18:25):
not knowing whether there. Yeah,but you're not. You're not in the
house. I know you're You're sayingyou're told not to go in or you
shouldn't go in. And the onlyreason I know that. You know how
I know that is I was housesitting for Lander once in Houston and he
was supposed to be gone for theweekend. And I showed up on Saturday
(18:48):
evening like I'd been out with somefriends. And I showed up on Saturday
evening. Every light in that housewas on, the front door was open,
and his two dogs were in thefront yard, and I went running
in of that house to see whatthe hell could could have could have gone
wrong? Well, it turns outone of them had gotten sick, Lander
or his wife, and they camehome, but they didn't let me know.
(19:11):
But when I was talking to him, when so we ended up talking
about, Lander was like, whywould you go running into a house if
you thought someone I was like,I thought something was wrong. Yeah,
So I just went running in.They're like, you don't. You don't
run into a house that you thinksomebody has broken into. Did you ever
do anything well for them. Idid everything great for that. When it
came to like don't bring don't bringup the other don't bring up the other
(19:34):
one. Oh, someone's listening.How often nine one one, we'll say
either don't go in, And there'smany times when they will say, like
get out of the house. Ohwell, if I thought somebody broke in
and I was in the house,I'm definitely getting out of the house.
I'm saying. If you call becauseyou smell gas, oh, always get
out of the house. Yeah,which is why Aaron M. Barlow called
(19:56):
for a gas leak awful fumes.The fire department showed up and then showed
me that my hungover ass had putnumerous Deli meat containers in the dishwasher and
they all melted. You know,she let that out. Oh my god.
(20:26):
Hey, thanks for the call.RUFUS Line six. Hi Elli in
the morning. Hello is this me? Yeah? Hi, who's this?
Hey? This is Martha. Sowe have a log cabin down in North
Carolina in the mountains and we havethis it's kind of been a running family
(20:48):
joke. But it's this mannequin typefigure and every year when we close up
the house for the winner, becauseit's not winners. We usually dress him
up like we give him a fearand glasses and a newspaper. I was
to given a chair and going behold. There was a massive snowstorm that winner,
(21:08):
and they went around doing rescue checkson all of the people up in
the mountains, and they looked throughthe skylight and saw him and thought it
was someone that had frozen to death. As they broke into the house,
had a whole rescue effort to rescueCharlie. All we can find out it
was a mannequin. That's awesome.The best part is fast forward ten years.
(21:33):
My dog had gotten stuck under thishouse chasing something, so we had
to call the fire department to comerescue the dog. And the guy that
walks in goes, wait a minute, I've been here before. And it
was the guy that had catched itdown the door to rescue of the mannequin.
That's awesome.
