Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, normally Monday mornings, you know, they're like whatever, But
I gotta be honest with you. There's a little pep
in my step, a little bit of a giddy excitement.
I've been waiting for this moment since Saturday. Saturday, we
need three of us, got a text from Thor that
I honestly can't explain. I looked at it and like,

(00:25):
did the kind of like dog head tilt, Like what
the and I couldn't figure out. I showed my wife
and she was like, what in the hell? Like nothing
makes sense about it. I have a lot of questions
that I did not respond with me too, and I'm like,
I gotta just wait, I guess and find out what
in the hell is going on over at Thor's house?

(00:45):
Like it's madness. I know there's been things that I've
seen in the past with your wife, Haley, Yeah, that
I can't really explain. She's one of my favorite people, really,
but this kind of stuff, I don't don't know how
you deal with.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
She loves animals man.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
To an extent, I get it, but this.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
No, I get it.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
I'm with you wild. So on Friday, actually we have chickens.
Now we finally got an egg. By the way, I
finally got an egg.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Good for you how much you're selling it for.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's like it's one So I don't think my wife.
My wife won't even crack it because the first egg.
It's the first egg.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
We got a uh, we got the bigger coup that
my wife made and we put together. So like she
feels like the chickens are more comfortable now. So then
and she feels vindicated because we got the egg. Granted,
we've probably spent about five hundred dollars on these chickens
and all the stuff, and we've got one egg.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
A right, some annoyed. And then we have in the backyard.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
She's planted like six vegetable garden bits and five or
six so she's doing all that, and in one of
like the soil buckets, she is like emptying it and
see a dead baby possum in the bucket, and I
go outside.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
There's tears.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Oh no, did she know them?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
No she didn't.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
But to each other she blamed her.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
It must have fallen in there, and she blamed herself something,
and she blamed herself for for not emptying it quick enough.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
And I don't know, but.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
There were there were tears, so she wanted me to
dispose of it, and I said that's disgusting, so I.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Made her disposed of it. God, so she threw it away. Whatever.
End of end of possum story until Saturday.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
So we're having dinner reservation at six o'clock at around
four point thirty, where she's sitting down a fourth four o'clock.
She's sitting down eating a protein bar throw a little
close to dinner but whenever.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
And it's a chocolate protein bar. This has to do
with the story.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
And the dogs are sitting next to her, and out
of nowhere, she gets she's in the living room and
we have like a little like courtyards, kind of mini
courtyard right in the front of our house. Yeah, and
she goes, oh my god, no and just gets up
and runs outside, leaves the chocolate bar on the couch
next to Watson, my dog.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
So I have to run.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I don't know what's going on, but I have to
run over there and grab the chocolate bar out of
his mouth. But this is how like tunnel vision she
is right now?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Does she does she know that dogs can't eat chocolate?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I think, but she loves animals. She loves she loves
them so much, but she just kind of freaked out. God,
She'll tell me that it's not dark chocolate. This this
won't even kill.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Him, I mean a good idea.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
So that happens, and I'm like, what is going on?
She so she comes back inside, moves me, like pushes
me out of the way, and grabs a bath towel,
a nice bath towel, and goes back outside. And I'm like,
what you still I don't know what's going on because
she's frantic. So she I see her going to lift

(04:01):
something up from the garden bed and and she lifts
it up and it's a tiny baby possum came back
to life. No, it's a different possibility. And the baby like, yeah,
we have raccoons possums, I know so clearly. Uh, the
mama possum had some babies, and we have some baby

(04:25):
possums in the yard. So Hayley eating on the veggie
beds or something. This this is in the front of
the house. So I don't know where this possum made
it all the way to the front of the house.
And my wife, uh has it wrapped in a nice
bath towel, which I will now throw away. Obviously that's disgusting.
So then she I open, why was picking it up?

(04:48):
Because she says it was injured?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Did she assess it? Does she a veterinarian? I don't.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Did it have one of those cardboard signs that was like,
please donate, I'm endured anything? Anything?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I wish it did? I wish it did. I'm trying
to find it.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
I don't understand what's going on here, because why you
would pick up a possum?

Speaker 5 (05:12):
Because I see a possum outside.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Ugly and evil looking.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
I said, I said, I said, it's disgusting and gross,
and she said that's legitimately hurtful and mean. How could
you say that? She's dead serious. So I'm just so
mad that she hasn't wrapped in my bathtowel. So she has,
but I'm still.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Not understanding because I look out my window. I see
a possum, even a baby possum, walking through my yard,
and I'm just going, oh, it's going back to.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Your first instinct isn't to grab a bath towel and
pick it up.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
No, it's it's going back to its den. It's going
back to wherever mom, it's.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
Going grabbing my phone and I'm taking a picture.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
But that's where it ends for me.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
So this possum, the reason why she grabs is because
she noticed it was injured. It was like dragging its
back feet.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
But what are you gonna do with it?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
So I'll tell you what she's gonna do with it.
She goes towards my front door to open the door
and bring it in the house. Obviously I closed the
door and walk and lock it, and I go, Hayley,
you are not bringing that disgusting rodent in my house.
End of story. But it's sick. And I go, no,
never gonna happen. Not, I go get out. What would

(06:27):
she do with it?

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like? I don't.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
I think she just wanted to bring it in the
house with it.

Speaker 4 (06:32):
And the cats and the dogs are going to freak out.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
So she's now mad at me and goes into the backyard.
But I'm not letting her bring this in the house.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Because it's disgusting.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
So then she puts it we have a uh, we
have the chickens in this dog crate for a little while.
So she puts it in the dog crate in the
backyard by the chickens and then gives it a bunch
of seeds and a banana and some water in the crate.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
But dooss bananas?

Speaker 3 (07:02):
I guess so because she went back out there and
it was eating the banana and the seeds.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:08):
And then but I guess he got out of the
dog crate. Now, the reason why she wasn't trying to
people work.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
DM me saying what was she trying to make it
a pit? What about the mom? She was It had
hurt legs, so in her eyes, she was trying to
maybe a town, a cl maybe MCL.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
It had hurt like so she was trying to help it,
like and she was felt bad for it because it
couldn't walk, so she was trying to And I go, Haley,
I don't want you to do this because when it dies,
you're gonna cry and then I have to deal with that.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
And I don't want to deal with that.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
And these are weird things to be do you want
to be? No? I don't. I don't want to deal
with any of this. Like I see apossum, I'm not
touching it. You know. If anything, maybe i'd call animal control.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
Maybe there's like a wild like the humane Animal Control
would According to Haley, animal control will just kill it.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'm not friends with him. I don't know. I don't care.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
It's a possible, but I don't know what it is. Yeah,
I don't know what else she's gonna do with this possible.
So what's the plan?

Speaker 1 (08:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
I don't think she had one. So I is gonna
pay red no, because no one, you know, no one
else does in the house.

Speaker 6 (08:20):
Know how to nurture a possum, Like, how would you
know how to like scared.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Doing with him? I don't know. She got some bands,
so she built a little wheelchair.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Well what happened was he got he got out.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
You could see the crate that he was in and
he was eating the banana and he got this is
on my video. Uh, he got out between the bars.
So then what she did was she put him under
the crate with my bath towel in ll bucket. When
she recaptured him, she's like, yeah, and put him in

(09:00):
this you see it kind of in there.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
What the heck?

Speaker 3 (09:04):
And now he's in a bucket with the crate on
top of it to kind of keep him there to
get him back to health, and no one else could
eat him.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Or anything. And now that bath heel is just gone.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
Well, but this bathtel is really it's just.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
So insane to do that, like you couldn't take a rag.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
I mean or or I gotta let you know. Out
of everything that you're telling us, the bathtee is the
least crazy part.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
But it's the most concerning him.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Because this kind of stuff, I'm not this doesn't like
her doing. Her trying to bring in a house was psychotic.
And I looked at her and I got legitimately mad
because I'm like, what are you doing? Like we're not
bringing possums in the house, and we're bringing raccoons in
the house.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Like we're not doing that.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
But like her getting up and running for apossum and
all that stuff, that doesn't surprise me. I know it
surprises everybody else, but just doesn't surprise me.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
I get it. You know again, you don't live in
like rural wil Vista, and so this kind of behavior
is just wacky crazy, you know. And I know at
one point she said, you know that she was able
to communicate with deer and things.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
At you mean, still, yeah, she stands by Still.

Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
So she so she went out there Sunday morning, because
it happened on Saturday and all the food was eating,
so she was happy about that. But and then she
she felt she felt like it got him healthy. By
the way, how do we know if it's him or her?
Like people calling him hand, people were calling him her.
We have no idea Like that annoyed me for somebody,
I just kept calling it it.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Yeah, has she given the possum a name?

Speaker 3 (10:42):
No, she has not, because we because she went she
after work yesterday. She came home and the possum had
found his way out of the bucket and it's completely gone.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
And she's but she's.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Happy because she feels like he got the strength from
the food he gave her and the love that she
gave her.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Fixed his legs. Legs had a cramp.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
Two leg cramps at the same time.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
And then and then we didn't talk for a solid hour.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Because I posted she tagged me something on my Instagram
the show for and I said it was the grossest
thing I've ever seen, And she said, calling him gross
is genuinely so mean, and wouldn't talk to me. Calling
him gross is genuinely so mean. It is a roaded
it's a road it's a possum. Yeah, so I find
now Sky doesn't have the same feelings. Pos was disgusted.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
She one time mowed down a family of baby possums
in front of the month.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
So Sky, the Sky's wor guys, the opposite of my wife,
the opposite.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
That is what happened. You moved down a bunch of baby.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Posslescuse me, I swerve to avoid the baby, and I
took him, which, unfortunately means science tells us I basically
killed all of them.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
You targeted the mom, Well, I.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Didn't target her. I was trying to avoid the baby
at the crack of dawn.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
But does Haley know that?

Speaker 2 (12:10):
No, I hope not hopeless sleeping.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
Well, here's the thing, here's fun fact.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
With your veggie beds, you're going to get a lot
more of these things because we had veggie beds and
a compost pile growing up, and when it gets cold
at night, they like to burrow in there for ye.

Speaker 6 (12:28):
So, yeah, so I asked lifted. They're lifted, I know,
But how do they get up it? They climb up
the they can climb off the side. Oh bluckily, I
don't go out there that far. So that's something I'm
just saying.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
As far as your wife falling in love with one,
and that'll probably discuss.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
One of the wilder things I've ever heard.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
It ever gets brought into our house, then her and
the possible are going outside. She's outside because now she
probably thinks she can nurse these things back to health.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
And she was pretty proud of herself.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
Magic banana. Yeah, No, that's madness, that's man. I don't
know how you're this kind of calm. I guess I
don't know. This is your time.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I flipped.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I flicked a slug off of off a fence because
and she yelled at me about how hard that slug
worked to get up that high cry.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
So I know what I'm dealing with her. You know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 5 (13:28):
Question, where is the bathtowel?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Great question?

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Uh, it's still in the bucket, I think, But I
mean I'm gonna burn it.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I don't.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I am so grossed out by rodents.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
You can just throw it away, Raccoons, possums, anything in
that world just grosses me out like you wouldn't believe.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
But but don't say that to Hayley gen unbelievable. That's
one of the crazier things I've heard a person do.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, she told me, how can I have a heart
like that?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I love her
