Weather and Diving in Cold Conditions
00:00:08
Chris
welcome back to another episode of the mythic giraffe podcast i'm chris and it's finally feeling a little winterish
00:00:11
mmmgelfling
And I'm Ron. Yeah,
00:00:16
mmmgelfling
yeah, it's supposed to rainy, sleety. And the maniacs in Delo are brining already, which means we're gonna get, you know, zero actual snowfall.
00:00:28
Chris
yeah yeah yeah i saw one model i don't know if like someone in Sussex County angered the gods or something, but there was like this bubble in Sussex that was like, you know, three inches and everything else around it was one or a coating.
00:00:46
mmmgelfling
That's nice.
00:00:46
Chris
Yeah.
00:00:48
mmmgelfling
We only ever get...
00:00:49
Chris
It's probably right on that one strip of 13. You'll have to drive through. Yeah.
00:00:52
mmmgelfling
said it's definitely LB on the one strip of 13 that I have get through. We only ever get the really bad ones if they come from the west.
00:00:58
Chris
Yeah.
00:00:58
mmmgelfling
If it comes out of the west and, like, north of us, that that's bad.
00:01:03
Chris
Yeah.
00:01:03
mmmgelfling
They come up the coast. They don't hit us.
00:01:06
Chris
Yeah. Well, it's also usually, I guess, you know, it hits that warm water the whole way up and, or warmer water.
00:01:13
mmmgelfling
Yeah, yeah. it Turns out the ocean's much warmer than... It's real hard to freeze the entire ocean.
00:01:16
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah.
00:01:20
mmmgelfling
Shockingly.
00:01:21
Chris
Which, but I saw it the other day, like the water temperature in the Delaware Bay it was like 40 degrees. It's like, oh, yeah.
00:01:32
mmmgelfling
There are many jobs that I don't think I could do in life. But being a diver who has to go consistently into that water, I can't do it.
00:01:40
Chris
yeah yeah that's like you remember back in the day when you know we would have our full dry suit on but for our head all we had was a wetsuit hood it's like oh yeah this is all i'm gonna have the worst you know ice cream headache for the next 20 minutes while i'm underwater
00:01:43
mmmgelfling
i
00:01:50
mmmgelfling
Yep.
00:01:58
Chris
yeah
00:01:59
mmmgelfling
it's all and then you know because we're not cool and fancy you got out of the water and into the oh wait there was nothing for you get into he just like i i me off i' click my ho my my fucking you freaking you beanie on yeah i don't do that anymore
00:02:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:02:13
Chris
Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. There are times I'm like, man, I do miss being a diver. But then I think about some of the dumb stuff. I'm like, no, no.
00:02:28
Chris
Like if it was, know, if we were like, you know, down in the Keys and the water temperature's 80 and a clear, and it's like, oh, we need you to go look for, you know, a bicycle.
00:02:40
Chris
Sure. Yep.
00:02:43
mmmgelfling
I'm cool.
00:02:43
Chris
I'm on it.
00:02:44
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:02:44
mmmgelfling
and Instead, it's the water's 30 degrees and it's black and some asshole is going to throw a turtle at you.
00:02:49
Chris
Yeah. It's, yep. Hmm.
00:02:53
Chris
I didn't throw a turtle. I let the turtle go and it just, fate decided it would go right in front of your face.
00:03:00
mmmgelfling
ha ha
00:03:02
Chris
ha Fun, fun fact, folks. Painted turtles will swi swim in a straight line for about 10 feet.
00:03:09
mmmgelfling
and if they go about one inch in front of your your goggles and you didn't see them coming it's real scary
00:03:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:20
mmmgelfling
yeah good old days i
00:03:23
Chris
Yeah. yeah Yeah, but like that's the time. like we yeah We would just, yeah, two or three of us would get together and we'd go diving. yeah
00:03:31
mmmgelfling
kept our skills up just going diving i enjoy the diving part of it when it's you know not freezing cold water and don't enjoy the freezing cold water or
00:03:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:03:39
Chris
Yeah.
City Meetings and Presentations
00:03:44
Chris
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
00:03:44
mmmgelfling
it's two o'clock in the morning and know go look for the look at the bottom of the river the cu maniacs have no idea what's on the bottom of this river
00:03:55
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. And it's not look, it's just feel around blindly hoping that your hands not going into a snapping turtles mouth or a fish hook or yeah.
00:03:57
mmmgelfling
Right. Right. Yeah.
00:04:05
mmmgelfling
Shopping cart.
00:04:06
Chris
Shopping cart. Oh my God. That was terrifying.
00:04:09
mmmgelfling
I mean, like, listen to the people on dive calls. Like, just go down there and look. And he's like, you have no idea what these guys are doing.
00:04:19
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:20
mmmgelfling
it's
00:04:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:21
mmmgelfling
it's not It's not fun.
00:04:23
Chris
No, no.
00:04:26
Chris
Just go down and look.
00:04:28
mmmgelfling
Been there, done that.
00:04:29
Chris
Well, it's like those poor maniacs that are, work I'm sure they're getting paid buku bucks, but the drawbridge work around Mill Street.
00:04:35
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:04:37
Chris
Yeah, just, I guess they just stay down there and like make sure the pylon goes straight for the first bit. I don't know, but.
00:04:44
mmmgelfling
I'm glad I decided to do it in the winter.
00:04:47
Chris
Yeah.
00:04:48
mmmgelfling
Could have done that in the summer.
00:04:49
Chris
Yeah. Well, I don't want to interrupt beach traffic.
00:04:50
mmmgelfling
Bastard.
00:04:53
mmmgelfling
A drawbridge in Salisbury?
00:04:55
Chris
I do, I am sure that's one of the things they talked about, which all the beach traffic should be taking a bypass, but whatever.
00:05:02
mmmgelfling
all the beach traffic should be taking the train that should be running across the bridge, but you know.
00:05:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:05:08
mmmgelfling
oh who
00:05:08
Chris
God, can you imagine that if there was like this thing, it was like, you know, just random stops it's like, where are you going to? Why are we going to Ocean City? And you're in the middle of Salisbury. That's a ticket.
00:05:22
mmmgelfling
Yeah, that's fair.
00:05:23
Chris
Hmm.
00:05:24
mmmgelfling
That's fair.
00:05:24
Chris
Hmm.
00:05:24
mmmgelfling
So we get to Ocean City, or one of our part-time employees works in Ocean City. she She told me they had run five calls in the last month.
00:05:34
Chris
i that um yeah
00:05:37
mmmgelfling
Could you imagine?
00:05:40
mmmgelfling
Man, I said, what are you getting done all day?
00:05:41
Chris
that's yeah i took up crocheting i just imagine like they have this giant like you know every shift adds to it they've got this giant crochet manatee or something they're making
00:05:42
mmmgelfling
She's like, well, I took up crocheting.
00:05:50
mmmgelfling
I get antsy if...
00:06:00
mmmgelfling
I get antsy if I don't go on five calls in a day.
00:06:03
Chris
Right.
00:06:03
mmmgelfling
Like, man.
00:06:05
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. God, five calls in a month.
00:06:09
mmmgelfling
I couldn't do it.
00:06:11
Chris
Yeah. I think even Powellville does more than that. Nah, maybe not.
00:06:17
mmmgelfling
That's not true.
00:06:17
Chris
and Yeah, nah. Okay. Yeah.
00:06:20
mmmgelfling
I believe if you look at the numbers, they do three calls.
00:06:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:06:26
Chris
But yeah, it's still five. Five. Oh my gosh.
00:06:29
mmmgelfling
I just couldn't...
00:06:29
Chris
took up crocheting i've mastered i've mastered mandarin yeah i sat and philosophized and i figured out you know i i achieved true zen i mean
00:06:31
mmmgelfling
I'd crochet. Yeah, like I would learn languages. i
00:06:47
mmmgelfling
Yeah. And I don't get it because like the Delaware beaches now, there's people there all year round.
00:06:55
Chris
yeah no there's
00:06:56
mmmgelfling
Is it just that people don't live in Ocean City? I don't know.
00:06:59
Chris
What? No, there's people in ocean city. Well, yeah I mean, yes, they don't have as many people living there, but there, mean, there's still people going to ocean city for, yeah there's festivals on weekends and things.
00:07:10
Chris
I think it's just overall people aren't as dumb as they used to be, or we've got all these safety measures in place that prevent their idiocy from causing issues.
00:07:20
mmmgelfling
I think it's got to be the second one.
00:07:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:23
mmmgelfling
I don't think it's the first one.
00:07:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:25
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:07:25
Chris
Yeah.
00:07:27
mmmgelfling
ah Speaking of ah idiocy and preventing injury, ah got to go to the all-city meeting the other day.
Traffic Safety and Infrastructure
00:07:37
Chris
no
00:07:37
mmmgelfling
You weren't you weren't there, right?
00:07:37
Chris
oh yeah yeah i was there yeah no i guess i got there early oh my gosh
00:07:39
mmmgelfling
Oh, you were there? Oh, you weren't sitting with us. Yep. Yep, they were the fancy people. ah So, the police chief, we've put um red light cameras at all of these specific ah red lights because we get really terrible accidents there and I'm like, what are you talking about?
00:08:00
Chris
yeah yeah
00:08:00
mmmgelfling
no Every red light camera you put in was at a place where no one can go more than 25 miles an hour. isn't that We've not had a bad wreck there in ever we have wrecks there they're called fender benders
00:08:10
Chris
yeah right but just what yeah yeah that's a i hear some of these you people talk like the look i like riding my bike i think bicyclists should be safe but i've heard like at the county meetings where you know people stand up and they're like oh we have so many bike accidents i'm like where what are you talking about yeah yeah
00:08:30
mmmgelfling
where your perception is not the reality of the numbers yeah
00:08:36
Chris
yeah yeah
00:08:40
Chris
Yeah, I thought you were going to talk about it at the all city meeting when yeah the the director of the zoo gave his presentation. Were you there for that when Chuck talked about it?
00:08:51
mmmgelfling
and I was there for that.
00:08:52
Chris
Yeah.
00:08:52
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:08:53
Chris
Which, no, I don't think anything bad about i think it shows that the city put the right person in charge of the zoo because Chuck was like super engaged and enthusiastic.
00:08:55
mmmgelfling
Oh,
00:09:03
Chris
And I mean...
00:09:03
mmmgelfling
oh yeah, he seems seems like a puppy dog when it comes to talking about the zoo.
00:09:06
Chris
yeah yeah yeah if you've ever actually he worked for sea world for like six years yeah yeah he left there because he didn't like the way animals were treated i think but yeah but um but yeah it's just you know his enthusiasm like he got done talking i'm like i want to go to the zoo
00:09:16
mmmgelfling
That's fair.
00:09:25
mmmgelfling
I mean, my favorite guy was the guy who his entire presentation was 30 seconds and spoken like the micro machine guy.
00:09:32
Chris
oh yeah uh the guy from did yeah
00:09:35
mmmgelfling
was up there.
00:09:35
Chris
yeah
00:09:37
mmmgelfling
Done. I was like, awesome.
00:09:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:09:39
mmmgelfling
Every one of you guys need to take lessons from him.
00:09:39
Chris
Yeah. Yep. That's how I saw him afterwards. Like, did you breathe during that? He's like, yeah, not really. Hmm.
00:09:46
mmmgelfling
Yeah, that was nice.
00:09:48
Chris
Well, because the police chief just rambled on and had the busiest slides.
00:09:53
mmmgelfling
Yeah, yeah.
00:09:56
mmmgelfling
Yes, there were 98 pictures in one slide.
00:10:01
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:01
mmmgelfling
in i sit i was all the way in the back, so I could barely see them. you know and i
00:10:06
Chris
But you've got eagle eyes.
00:10:07
mmmgelfling
I've got eagle eyes, and I was like, there are so many pictures on there, you cannot focus.
00:10:11
Chris
Hmm.
00:10:12
mmmgelfling
It's crazy.
00:10:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:14
mmmgelfling
Clearly, put his own slide deck together.
00:10:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:10:17
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:10:18
Chris
Yeah. Well, and then you had Waterworks, who was like, you shouldn't work for the city of Salisbury, pretty much.
00:10:30
Chris
Wow. So, yeah.
00:10:32
mmmgelfling
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:33
Chris
Yeah. It was. Yeah.
00:10:35
mmmgelfling
It is one of those things that annoys me though, because again, why is the on-duty fire department going there?
00:10:41
Chris
i don't disagree. i it's it, I, maybe with Nick being the new city administrator, we can kind of talk to him about some stuff like that. And it's like, you know, I get that you want to have this all city, but just, you know, like department heads and administrative staff. Sure. They should be in person. Anybody else. Hey, if you can zoom it on your phone or something while you're working great. If not, here's an email.
00:11:09
mmmgelfling
yeah well i mean it's it's always my my frustration is like we have a deployment model for ambulances and then we put all our animals in the same spot nope nope oh and it's also the worst spot in the city to be in like you can get yeah you can't get out of that place fast and get anywhere useful it's it's crazy
00:11:16
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:11:19
Chris
Right. Yeah. yeah yeah Yeah. tight
00:11:26
Chris
Yeah. yeah There's no easy way to get anywhere from there.
00:11:34
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. i mean, it's it's not like, you know, Georgetown and Sussex that leads to everywhere.
00:11:43
mmmgelfling
yeah well and it's you know and it's it's i get the mayor's side of it but it's like man you get you have to realize our lot our job literally is about being where we're supposed to be you know and it it makes a difference we had a whole conversation about making a difference before this podcast and know ambulances need to be spread out and in strategic positions
00:11:44
Chris
Hmm.
00:11:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:00
Chris
It does. It literally does.
00:12:06
Chris
Yep.
00:12:12
Chris
What? Hmm.
00:12:14
mmmgelfling
Yeah, I know. i know. It's almost like Salisbury built their fire stations in poor positioning. ah Almost.
00:12:23
Chris
God, that's like, I was, was it yesterday? don't know. One of my many trips out to Atlantic this week. Um, on my way back, I was, you know, looking at that empty field that's between the on-ramp to the bypass and Hobbs road on the right, like in front of the solar farm.
00:12:40
mmmgelfling
Mm-hmm.
00:12:42
Chris
I was like, even just there, that little bit east would be a game changer.
00:12:48
mmmgelfling
Yeah. Oh, yeah. I talk about all the time. Like engine one, we have such a terrible um position for our district in the ambulance.
00:12:51
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:56
Chris
Yeah.
00:12:57
mmmgelfling
There is like if you look at we have this crazy core of all the apartment buildings.
00:13:04
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:05
mmmgelfling
Which you have to keep something over there because of all the apartment buildings and then all of our other calls are out east.
00:13:08
Chris
Right.
00:13:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:13:11
mmmgelfling
Like if you had an ambulance out east or a unit out east, it would help immensely.
00:13:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:13:16
Chris
Or I even thought like the median
Fire Station Planning and Development
00:13:20
Chris
of 50. Like
00:13:23
Chris
put a station there.
00:13:23
mmmgelfling
I mean, that seems dangerous. I don't know.
00:13:27
Chris
Well, I mean, you leave some trees to either side to slow people down.
00:13:27
mmmgelfling
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:13:33
Chris
You put it, you put it on stilts.
00:13:36
mmmgelfling
oh hey
00:13:36
Chris
So you have to drive down and that, cause that gives you, that gives you the ramp to get head of speed up to the.
00:13:37
mmmgelfling
yeah ah
00:13:44
mmmgelfling
I've even, ive i really think just where the Rite Aid was, right there, just put a unit there, you'd be helping.
00:13:51
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah yeah
00:13:52
mmmgelfling
yeah It's just, it's one day when I'm ruler of the world, I'm going to mandate, this is where ambulances need to be, this is where your engines need to be, but I'm just going to fix places. Yeah.
00:14:09
Chris
yeah I mean i don't know maybe I'm a simple man i you know I think back to like when I played SimCity and it would show you was like you know oh you put that there that's not working yeah
00:14:17
mmmgelfling
Right.
00:14:22
mmmgelfling
But it's like, the problem is, oh, well, in 1923, this was the right spot for a fire station.
00:14:29
Chris
yeah yeah
00:14:29
mmmgelfling
So we built, which, yeah, I get it. In 1923, that probably was the right station, place station. And in 1985, when they built station one, it probably, no, it couldn't have been right and even then.
00:14:41
Chris
no no but but and i get that you know you're at the time they didn't have the technology and stuff like that to like you know okay let's future forecast but now we have those things there aren't excuses to put stations in bad places.
00:15:00
mmmgelfling
You don't have political will.
00:15:03
Chris
Yeah. i Yeah.
00:15:04
mmmgelfling
you' not
00:15:05
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:15:06
mmmgelfling
You have this crazy world where fire stations need to be billion-dollar fancy buildings.
00:15:13
Chris
Yeah. right
00:15:14
mmmgelfling
It's all of these crazy pressures that I just –
00:15:17
Chris
yeah yeah
00:15:19
mmmgelfling
i don't I don't care if you, if you came Chief came to me tomorrow and said, hey, we we're building a pole barn out on 50. You guys are going to be in there.
00:15:27
Chris
Yep.
00:15:28
mmmgelfling
It's going to have a bunk. It's going to have a TV. It's to have a kitchen. Go for it.
00:15:31
Chris
Yep.
00:15:32
mmmgelfling
Cool.
00:15:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:33
mmmgelfling
You know, that' that's my job, you know.
00:15:34
Chris
Yeah. That's yeah.
00:15:37
mmmgelfling
I don't need a fancy station.
00:15:38
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:40
mmmgelfling
a
00:15:40
Chris
Hmm.
00:15:41
mmmgelfling
I would like a shitters and showers though. yeah
00:15:43
Chris
Hmm.
00:15:45
mmmgelfling
But that's fine.
00:15:45
Chris
Combined.
00:15:47
mmmgelfling
you know But it's just that's how you save order.
00:15:48
Chris
ah i saved water.
00:15:52
mmmgelfling
It's just somebody has to pull that trigger. and So many things.
00:15:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:15:56
mmmgelfling
you know
00:15:59
mmmgelfling
it's It's like the Salisbury Police Department. Why do you guys still operate into this building?
00:16:04
Chris
yeah yeah well remember there for a while they had those like little substations and then he did away with those well yeah
00:16:05
mmmgelfling
It's crazy.
00:16:11
mmmgelfling
Everywhere. yeah because well They didn't end up using any of them.
00:16:19
mmmgelfling
It's just like somebody has to fix this stuff. and I don't know who's ever going to fix it.
00:16:24
Chris
what was it i saw it was out in arizona maybe or something but the fire department was approached by this developer and they're like, Hey, you know, we've heard you want to have a firehouse eventually over here.
00:16:40
Chris
We're going to take two of our lots and give them to the fire department. We're going to build kind of like one of our single families, but it's just going to have bunks and a kitchen and all that and attached will be a big garage.
00:16:57
Chris
So there you go. So, and it was just, it just looked like a house with a giant garage next to it.
00:16:58
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:17:02
Chris
And ran an engine and a medic.
00:17:04
mmmgelfling
My buddy's department in Utah, that's exactly what they're doing for their third station right now. It's a house, and they just put a pole barn garage on the back, and they run an engine automatic out of there.
00:17:12
Chris
yeah yeah right
00:17:17
mmmgelfling
and Actually, city of Wilmington has one where they built an apartment building, a 13-story apartment building, but the ground floor is a fire station. yeah so like the engines goes out the back you know it's separated from the building you know secured from the building i should say but it's it's it's in the building
00:17:33
Chris
yeah right yeah does every shift have its own apartment
00:17:44
mmmgelfling
but you go down florida like you go to you'll go to shopping centers and in the back of a shopping center is a fire station you know it's just
00:17:44
Chris
mm-hmm
00:17:50
Chris
yeah uh Howard County has something like that yeah it makes sense yeah right yeah yeah and like you said you know i can build three stations like that for the cost of one of these you know Taj Mahal's
00:17:56
mmmgelfling
it's a good way to make sense to build fire stations you know instagram
00:18:09
mmmgelfling
I mean, honestly, you probably you're almost paying nothing for the fire station. You know, if you do it right, you have all of these developers building buildings in Salisbury.
00:18:15
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:19
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:18:20
mmmgelfling
You could easily have gone to one of them and said, hey, you're building 3,800 homes on Snowhole Road. You going to put a fire station out here.
00:18:26
Chris
Yeah. Right.
00:18:28
mmmgelfling
Hey, you want to build all this crap out you know, 50? You're building fire station.
00:18:33
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:34
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:18:34
Chris
Or at least you're leaving a lot open.
00:18:37
mmmgelfling
Sure.
00:18:39
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:18:41
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:42
mmmgelfling
It's a something you got a mandate.
00:18:45
Chris
Yeah.
00:18:46
mmmgelfling
And it's just... We just... like it's the same conversation. It's like the weirdest thing. i just had conversation with people at station one because we're building a new engine or sort of.
00:18:58
Chris
Yeah. No.
00:18:59
mmmgelfling
And I said, you know, it's every Tom, Dick and Harry should not be involved in building a fire engine. You know, why is if, if you're a manufacturer of fire engine, you come to me and say, these are the three models of fire engine.
00:19:06
Chris
Hmm.
00:19:12
mmmgelfling
Pick which one you want. Cool. Thanks.
00:19:16
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:19:16
mmmgelfling
If, if right, right.
00:19:17
Chris
It's, what do you need it to do? You need it pump X gallons of water. You need it to hold X gallons of water. You want X...
00:19:23
mmmgelfling
I don't even think it should be that. I think it should be literally like, here are the three kinds of fire engines we got. Pick one. you know
00:19:30
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:19:30
mmmgelfling
We are the experts in building this thing. We know the capabilities of it. We're going to make it the best we can. Pick one of the three. And when it comes to fire stations, it's like, why are people who are in a fire department who have no idea about you know budgeting and cost, why are they in charge of fire stations?
00:19:46
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:19:49
Chris
Yeah.
00:19:50
mmmgelfling
you know the fire station should be a gis person and a city engineer going this is what your building is done instead we have two fire stations in the city that were built by maniacs who had should not have been involved
00:19:55
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:19:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:20:03
Chris
Mm-hmm.
00:20:06
Chris
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:20:08
mmmgelfling
what's your qualification oh i ran a gros a gas station what does that have to do with anything
00:20:17
Chris
Uh, is that why there's a cutout for fuel pumps at the one station?
00:20:18
mmmgelfling
what
00:20:21
mmmgelfling
yeah But like, why is the fire chief expected to build a fire station? Right. Clearly, that doesn't work.
00:20:31
Chris
Yeah. You tap into the resources that are available.
00:20:33
mmmgelfling
Right.
00:20:34
Chris
and And I will say our current chief absolutely does that.
00:20:39
mmmgelfling
Sure, but the the fire chief who built Fire Station 16 should not have been involved in that process, right?
00:20:45
Chris
No.
00:20:46
mmmgelfling
and And it should have been the city. And the city says said, why do we need a $20 million dollars firehouse on the wrong side of the town? Why are you doing this? Instead, it was just like, blank check, go ahead and do things.
00:20:57
Chris
yeah yeah yeah
00:20:58
mmmgelfling
What?
00:21:01
mmmgelfling
It's so many things we do wrong in the fire services because we think we know everything.
00:21:04
Chris
yeah
00:21:07
Chris
what i mean but you also hit on it i mean look at where the police station's located
00:21:11
mmmgelfling
fair point yeah i i think of the two the two things in the city and i'm just going to pick on city salisbury because i i feel like now i i know them long enough that bothers me the most is you you don't have a fire station where people walk you don't have a police station where people walk that's crazy to me you know
00:21:30
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:21:33
Chris
Yep.
00:21:35
mmmgelfling
you know like I understand station one, we're out there. People don't really walk by our station. Some do, right?
00:21:42
Chris
Yeah.
00:21:43
mmmgelfling
ah But downtown, you don't have a fire station.
00:21:45
Chris
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:21:47
mmmgelfling
And when people walk around your town and they don't see a fire station, it says something about your town.
00:21:51
Chris
Yeah, it's, yeah, it's definitely weird.
00:21:56
mmmgelfling
Yeah. And it's, so yeah, it's weird.
00:22:00
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:01
mmmgelfling
Never going fix it.
00:22:03
Chris
No.
00:22:03
mmmgelfling
Not my career, that's for sure.
00:22:03
Chris
No. Yeah.
00:22:06
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:22:06
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:07
mmmgelfling
but that's That's the, that's the call I tell the guys all the time, like, you guys understand, like, decisions that are made now are going to affect you guys for 20 years.
00:22:14
Chris
Yeah. yeah
00:22:16
mmmgelfling
Yeah. It's like, the one guy was talking about something on Station 1, and he's like, oh, you know, tell me when you guys are ready for an upgrade. I'm like, bud, like, this is 20 years at the least.
00:22:28
Chris
yeah
00:22:29
mmmgelfling
They're not going to touch this building again.
00:22:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:22:32
mmmgelfling
You know. The only building they're going to touch in the next 20 years is the one that's going to fall into the swamp in the next two years.
00:22:38
Chris
Now four years.
00:22:44
mmmgelfling
Yeah. We'll see.
00:22:46
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:49
mmmgelfling
Well, we've ranted enough. We've gone to the topics one.
00:22:50
Chris
Yeah. Well, well, actually I've got one more little rant.
00:22:54
mmmgelfling
More rants. Sweet.
00:22:55
Chris
Well, yeah, yeah. Just, don't know. Maybe you um might have an insight or something.
Pest Control Challenges
00:23:00
mmmgelfling
Oh, God.
00:23:01
Chris
So we've got a mouse.
00:23:03
mmmgelfling
Oh, no.
00:23:04
Chris
We had two, well, we had two mice. So there was one day my wife walks out to the garage and looks down and there's this like mound of dirt by like the steps that go into the garage and the drywall.
00:23:20
Chris
was like, that's weird. So how the, where the hell did that come from? So vacuum it up and there's a little i mean Tom and Jerry mouse little cutout on the wall.
00:23:32
Chris
I'm like, oh, must have a mouse. So I took and I yeah so put a can of that spray foam in there and filled it all up and anywhere I saw a gap and I ripped the steps out. I didn't see anything under that other than mouse poop and everything. I'm like, all right, vacuum all that up. Now they're sealed in like a day or two later, another little mouse hole.
00:23:51
Chris
It's like, okay.
00:23:53
mmmgelfling
You need snake.
00:23:53
Chris
So I got, well, so I got these traps that were supposed to like, The mouse's head goes in it and then it locks down on the back of it. And it was supposed to be more humane.
00:24:05
Chris
Didn't work. And I go, OK. So go back to the old wooden spring-loaded traps. After one night, got one. like All right, we got the mouse. We're good.
00:24:17
Chris
Throw it away.
00:24:18
mmmgelfling
It's like, we got one!
00:24:19
Chris
Yeah, pretty. Oh, yeah, pretty much. Yeah, like I was like, babe, take a picture of me with a mouse. Yeah.
00:24:25
mmmgelfling
Oh, yeah.
00:24:25
Chris
yeah Yeah. yeah
00:24:29
Chris
Fast forward couple days later, we still see mouse poop. Like, huh, we'll bait the other trap. Well, he eats the trap clean. I'm like, oh, okay. Well, maybe something was wrong with it. So like, you know, take a stick so and barely touch the trigger. Crack! I'm like, okay, well, the trap clearly works.
00:24:51
Chris
Reset it, put peanut butter on it, come out. I go out to the garage and he's sitting on the container that our bird seat is in looking at me, mocking me.
00:25:04
mmmgelfling
You need a snake. You got a smart mouse now.
00:25:06
Chris
Well, of course, you know, my youngest, why, didn't why didn't you shoot it?
00:25:07
mmmgelfling
Rittlesnake, probably. Shoot it?
00:25:11
Chris
With what?
00:25:13
mmmgelfling
What the fuck are you all...
00:25:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:25:13
mmmgelfling
What are you, Wyatt Earp, walking around your house with a gun? What's...
00:25:16
Chris
yeah I was like, well, one, I would have to, you know, I was like, I, we have a bow and arrow. said, I'm a good shot, but I'm not that good. And she said, well, why did you run over and catch it?
00:25:28
Chris
No, it's not my job. Yeah.
00:25:31
mmmgelfling
that's Not even not a thats your job, but if you ever watched any movie where anybody tries to catch a mouse with their bare hands, it doesn't go well.
00:25:37
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. So we call our bug guy or exterminator and I send him the pictures of the hole and stuff. And he's like, ah, based on, know, I guess it was where I zoomed in on the picture something.
00:25:50
Chris
like that. That's a, that's a big hole. That's I think that's more of like a Norwegian rat. I'm like, what?
00:25:55
mmmgelfling
Pfft.
00:25:55
Chris
was like, I've seen this thing. He's tiny. He's, he could fit my hands small. So when he finally got here and looked at it, he's like oh yeah, that's a mouse. But so he put bait out. The bait's been out for over a week.
00:26:08
Chris
Still have a mouse.
00:26:10
mmmgelfling
that you guys You got a smart mouse ball.
00:26:10
Chris
He has cleaned the trap at least four times. At least. So I'm thinking we had two mice, Pinky and the Brain.
00:26:20
mmmgelfling
With
00:26:21
Chris
Pinky was a little idiot. We caught the first time, but now we're dealing with the brain. So I, yeah, I'm at my wits end. You know I'm like, do I post up out there in the dark with, you know, with my bow?
00:26:31
mmmgelfling
your bow?
00:26:33
Chris
Yeah. Oh gosh.
00:26:36
mmmgelfling
I'm telling you Rattlesnake. Who fix the problem?
00:26:38
Chris
r Rattlesnake. Yeah. Yeah. Well, so there's been a cat running around the neighborhood. I said, well, we'll just leave the garage door open part of the way. And then the cat will come in and eat the mouse or all the other mice will come in.
00:26:50
Chris
So.
00:26:51
mmmgelfling
Right. You need a rouse
00:26:51
Chris
or and yeah uh well one of the guys at work suggested a peregrine falcon i don't think the garage has enough room for it to get a good head of speed but okay yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah so i hear that yeah yeah all night wo wo that's what i want
00:27:02
mmmgelfling
It's got it yeah. Oh, no. Barn owl.
00:27:06
mmmgelfling
They're...
00:27:10
mmmgelfling
And then you hit the screaming when they screech.
00:27:12
Chris
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that sounds like that's
00:27:13
mmmgelfling
Yeah, that'd be fun. Just about time to to sleep.
00:27:18
Chris
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so uh what um yeah
00:27:21
mmmgelfling
I mean, I've been in the same situation and I have an answer for you. This is a surefire answer. You use olive oil in your house. Take a bottle.
00:27:34
mmmgelfling
It's got to have a narrower neck than the base, like most bottles do.
00:27:39
Chris
yeah all right
00:27:40
mmmgelfling
And it's got to be a pretty narrow base, though, or pretty narrow neck. And then you put olive oil in there. Coat the whole thing in olive oil, put a little olive oil on the bottom, put it on its side. Mouse will go and it won't get out.
00:27:51
Chris
Really? Huh.
00:27:52
mmmgelfling
Mm-hmm.
00:27:54
Chris
I might have to try that.
00:27:55
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:27:56
Chris
Cause also i can't tell you the, i don't know, existential crisis I had putting these traps out.
00:28:06
mmmgelfling
Yeah, because killing the mouse.
00:28:08
Chris
Yeah.
00:28:08
mmmgelfling
Well, this is the worst part of the situation with the olive oil, is you're going to catch more than one mouse in that olive oil trap, and then you're going to have like five mice in a bottle of olive oil that you have to deal with.
00:28:13
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:28:20
mmmgelfling
And you're going to have to make...
00:28:20
Chris
I'll drive out to, I'm going drive out to the woods. I cut the top off and I throw them out.
00:28:24
mmmgelfling
I would say, going to have to make the moral decision as to what you do, but that's what's going happen, because that's what to me
00:28:27
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. I, yeah, I just, yeah.
00:28:31
mmmgelfling
And I could not kill them. I wasn't...
00:28:33
Chris
That's like, I talked to a couple, yeah, again, the guys at work and he ah one guy, he was like, why don't you just stomp it? was like, oh my God.
00:28:40
mmmgelfling
Okay, psychopath.
00:28:40
Chris
yeah Yeah. It's like, I guess I have gotten weak in, you know, in my age, but I don't, you know, I don't want to kill it if I don't have to.
00:28:50
mmmgelfling
No, no, no.
00:28:50
Chris
If I could have caught it in my hand, I would have kept it in my hand and driven it out somewhere and let it go.
00:28:53
mmmgelfling
And I would have edited it and it would run nice. and a so
00:28:57
Chris
Yeah. Pick out a terrarium for it.
00:28:57
mmmgelfling
Yeah, no. right That's what happened to the that's what happened to the fives five that we caught. We caught five mice in the olive oil trap, and then we had these mice, and I was like, I can't kill these things.
00:29:07
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:10
mmmgelfling
And my wife took them to one of her hippy-dippy friends who built a terrarium for these mice, and they lived, don't know how long they lived for, but they lived in a little terrarium.
00:29:11
Chris
Yeah.
00:29:15
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah Yep.
00:29:20
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:29:21
Chris
The only other thing is if we keep feeding this mouse with the trap, he's going to get so fat he can't get through his hole anymore.
00:29:29
mmmgelfling
I don't think that really works with mice.
00:29:31
Chris
No? um Okay. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Yeah. or maybe, maybe what I need to do where he's so smart, I need to do one of those Rube Goldberg machines.
00:29:46
Chris
Yeah. Like the game mouse trap. I need to set something like that up.
00:29:49
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:29:50
Chris
with pulleys and marbles and yeah.
00:29:53
mmmgelfling
How about before we go full crazy, we just try the olive oil trap?
00:29:57
Chris
Okay. Maybe we will. God, the whole to go crazy though. does sound fun.
00:30:03
mmmgelfling
Go crazy.
00:30:03
Chris
ah
00:30:03
mmmgelfling
Don't mind I do.
00:30:08
Chris
I'll be sitting out there. Well, yeah, that was the other thing. When I was tearing apart the steps to see where this mouse may have been coming from, my wife, puts a camp chair in the garage and sits and watches me to see what happens. My oldest, who is home on college break, is she wanted to see what was going on, but she was, quote, afraid the mouse would leap out.
00:30:31
Chris
So she got in the car in the garage, locked the door and was looking out the window at me.
00:30:39
Chris
of i don't i I don't know if she thought this was like a honey badger that was in there. i don't know, but yeah.
00:30:46
mmmgelfling
My wife has these same things. like She's afraid of things that leap at her. And I'm like, when the cricket comes at you, what does it do?
00:30:56
mmmgelfling
Well, it gets on me.
00:30:57
Chris
yeah yeah yeah so okay I'll try that try the olive oil all right
00:30:58
mmmgelfling
And then... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Try the olive oil thing. the Try it and test it. yeah but Then, if that doesn't work, you have to go to Rattlesnake.
00:31:13
Chris
can I start with like a like a rat snake or a black snake constrictor yeah
00:31:18
mmmgelfling
i mean you can but then what's your step to get rid of the snake that's what the black snake's for
00:31:23
Chris
I'd have to get the rattlesnake too.
00:31:28
Chris
Then how do you get rid of the black snake?
00:31:31
mmmgelfling
then you gotta have a mongoose yeah then you have a pet mongoose yeah yeah see i had this all figured out
00:31:32
Chris
oh Ooh. That'd be fun. Yeah. yeah Yeah. Okay. Alright. Alright. yeah Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Alright. I'll run this by the wife.
00:31:45
Chris
Oh,
00:31:47
Chris
Well, you ready for topic one now that we've figured out
00:31:50
mmmgelfling
ah right
00:31:52
Chris
um yeah yeah i'll i'll report back next podcast yeah oh
00:31:55
mmmgelfling

yes oh yes oh yeah yeah i'll take pictures somebody will take pictures yeah topic one
00:32:09
mmmgelfling

00:32:23
mmmgelfling
The video games coming out in 2026. See what we might be excited about. I know a couple of them I'm excited for. I think most of these you're going be excited for.

mmmgelfling
So in the remake news or franchise news, we have Onimusha Way of the Sword.
00:32:36
Chris

mmmgelfling
Yeah.

Yeah, it looks amazing. It's um the same studio that did the Spider-Man games for Sony. And it, yeah, it's it's bloody, brutal.
00:34:03
Chris
i mean, yeah, it it definitely looks like it's capturing Wolverine.
00:34:07
mmmgelfling
Yeah, that's cool.
00:34:08
Chris
and Like, there's even one, like, the shot where he's all all bloodied up and cut up, and you can literally watch him heal while he's standing there, so.
00:34:17
mmmgelfling
That is what you want in life.
00:34:18
Chris
Yeah, yeah, um yeah.
00:34:20
mmmgelfling

Chris
Yeah.
00:34:34
mmmgelfling
Super excited about it.
00:34:35
Chris
Oh yeah, yeah. The Neo games, but it's it's the hack and slash action. It's a Souls-like, but it's not the as tedious.
00:34:48
Chris
I think the loot drops from Borderlands with the action of Ninja Gaiden. yeah with like a crazy yeah japanese somewhat in so history or mythological inspired game yeah pragmata
00:34:59
mmmgelfling

00:38:38
Chris
Yakuza is just a weird game.

mmmgelfling
I can't have achievements.

00:39:39
mmmgelfling
and
00:39:39
Chris
Oh, it's like, um, Returnal or one of those, I think. Yeah. It doesn't seem like something up. It's one of those like, almost like a Twitch shooter kind of. Yeah.
00:39:52
Chris
Yeah. now
00:39:55
mmmgelfling
phantom blade zero
00:39:56
Chris

00:40:06
mmmgelfling
You know, I'll end up closing the podcast.
00:40:08
Chris
oh no no no really yeah yeah i have to tell her about that
00:40:08
mmmgelfling
And then we got, let's see, a new Fire Emblem game. It's your wife's favorite, right? Yeah.
00:40:21
mmmgelfling
so ah You know, it's funny. i was talking to my brother about like the Switch. like I want games like that on the Switch. I don't want Legend of what hell is the Zelda game that everybody loves on the Switch?
00:40:30
Chris
yeah
00:40:37
Chris
Oh, Breath of the Wild.
00:40:38
mmmgelfling
but well I don't want that. I want games like that that are contained in something like a little nicer.
00:40:40
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:47
mmmgelfling
That's what I want on my Switch, but
00:40:49
Chris
Well, I didn't like Breath of the Wild because of the stupid weapon degradation.
00:40:50
mmmgelfling
when they do this.
00:40:54
mmmgelfling
it's crazy. It's crazy.
00:40:55
Chris
Yeah.
00:40:56
mmmgelfling
Yeah, because but they're doing a supposedly Core Keeper 2, which is a game I'm actually interested in, might be dropping in 2026, and it might be coming to the Switch 2, which might be a reason for me to get the Switch 2.
00:41:03
Chris
Okay.
00:41:06
Chris
Ooh.
00:41:08
mmmgelfling
Oh,
00:41:08
Chris
Yeah. Well, I've heard if you're going to get a switch too, you should probably do it soon.
00:41:13
mmmgelfling
really?
00:41:14
Chris
Yeah, because they're talking about price increases just because of all the increasing costs of RAM and things.
00:41:19
mmmgelfling
oh god um monster hunter stories 3 i don't care about my hunter i tried it i just got more annoyed as the game went on um
00:41:20

I mean, you know.
00:41:54
mmmgelfling
don't know. I've never heard of control. I can say.
00:42:04
Chris
Yeah, it's like a third-person shooter kind of can interact with the environment with some kind of telekinesis stuff.
00:42:15
Chris
Yeah.
00:42:15
mmmgelfling
Super Meat Boy 3D coming out.

00:42:40
Chris
And it's you've got. How do you get like 48 hours to do something or something? I don't know. There's like a ah literal clock in there that you have.
00:42:52
Chris

mmmgelfling
Uh, rubs, Bubsy 4D, don't know what that is
00:43:03
Chris

00:43:03
mmmgelfling
Uh, there's a new Tomb Raider apparently, Legacy of Atlantis. I gotta say, I've never been a huge Tomb Raider fan.
00:43:16
Chris
I never really played the originals, but the last few I played, they were fun. i mean, it was, yeah.
00:43:29
mmmgelfling
I went through the last... but When they remade it that one.
00:43:32
Chris
Was that the legacy of the Tomb Raider or whatever?

00:43:36
Chris

00:43:37
mmmgelfling
It just didn't...
00:43:37
Chris

00:48:12
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:48:13
mmmgelfling
Yeah, I feel like last year was the time to do that, and that was a mistake.
00:48:14

Mm-hmm.
00:48:18
mmmgelfling
Oh, Atomic Heart 2 has been announced, but but not the game that like was providing information to the Russians or something, and nobody was supposed to play it.

mmmgelfling
Elder Scrolls 6 is...
00:48:50
Chris
That's never coming out.
00:48:51

00:49:02
Chris
OK.
00:49:03
mmmgelfling
Yeah. There was a sale where if you bought one, you got the other two other ones, so... I like Devo. It's fine.
00:49:09
Chris
I tried Diablo. I just couldn't. Yeah.
00:49:13
mmmgelfling
It's a... You have to either be into Diablo, look for the lore, or just be like, oh, I could play this for half an hour and not think about things.
00:49:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:22
mmmgelfling
you
00:49:25
mmmgelfling
Well, those are the games of 2026 that we're looking forward to. Mostly Fable for me.
00:49:30
Chris
Yeah.
00:49:31
mmmgelfling
but would say Fable.
00:49:32
Chris
There's some game coming out called Screamer.
00:49:36
mmmgelfling
Hmm.
00:49:36
Chris
what? Oh, Star Wars Zero Company is allegedly coming out this year. You take the role of Hawks, a disgraced Republic officer who now leads in Eponimus Zero Company, a ragtag bunch of extremely dubious characters who have to stop a growing threat during the Clone Wars.
00:49:56
Chris
Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. team is made up of astromechs, Jedi, and others. We'll see.
00:50:07
Chris
yeah i Yeah, there's nothing other than Neo 3 that I'm like i amm definitely yeah getting as soon as it comes out this year.
00:50:15
mmmgelfling
Right.
00:50:15
Chris
But we'll see what Destiny does.
00:50:21
mmmgelfling
The game that ended, but still hasn't ended.
00:50:24
Chris
Yeah, but I tell you what. this Their collab this past season with Star Wars has just been phenomenal. So, yeah.
00:50:30
mmmgelfling
Yeah, it's awesome.
00:50:32
Chris
Yeah.
00:50:35
mmmgelfling
Well, folks, enjoy the games that come out.
00:50:38
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
Indie Games and Unexpected Joy
00:50:39
mmmgelfling
Hopefully it's a good year for indie games that we just didn't see coming. That's you know that's kind of been the last couple years for me.
00:50:43
Chris
yeah Yeah, it's... Yeah, with all this push on AAA and how long it takes them to get things out. Yeah, I mean, a good indie game or even, i mean, a single A or a double A game is great.
00:50:55
Chris
You know, it can be a great filler.
00:50:55
mmmgelfling
Mm-hmm.
00:50:56
Chris
And I think people have to get over themselves and not every game has to be a 9 or a 10 out of 10.
00:51:02
mmmgelfling
Yeah, we talk about that many times.
00:51:03
Chris
Yeah, yeah.
00:51:07
mmmgelfling
Well, we move on to topic two.
00:51:10
Chris
So. topic two. And it's funny, you know, my rant earlier, i didn't realize, kind of leads into this.
Unusual Pets and Regulations
00:51:18
Chris
It's because you were talking about, yes, no.
00:51:18
mmmgelfling
the top three movies about mice.
00:51:21
Chris
Um, well you talked about, you know, get the snake and then you get the other snake and then eventually you get the, you know, mongoose and that's your pet, you I would say the two main pets that people have are cats and dogs.
00:51:40
mmmgelfling
It's fair.
00:51:40
Chris
Why, why didn't we expand animal husbandry to incorporate other animals more, know, Like what kind of other animals? I mean, yeah, there are the people that have the ferrets and the weirdos that have the birds that live 8,000 years. um I mean, fish are just boring.
00:52:00
Chris
But yeah, I mean, like a mongoose running around your house or like, you know, if you've got a pool, have an otter out back. Yeah.
00:52:10
Chris
But yeah.
00:52:10
mmmgelfling
That is fair.
00:52:12
mmmgelfling
Why don't we have otters as pets?
00:52:15
mmmgelfling
You know, you always see people who have like raccoons as pets.
00:52:18
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:19
mmmgelfling
You know, you're always like, they do get fat.
00:52:20
Chris
Those little jokers get fat.
00:52:22
mmmgelfling
But is it, and you always hear like the excuse like, oh, only certain animals can be domesticated. Fucking raccoons look pretty happy in them houses.
00:52:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:31
mmmgelfling
ah
00:52:31
Chris
Yeah.
00:52:33
mmmgelfling
They're pretty happy not be living in the trash cans.
00:52:35
Chris
Yeah. And I got news for you. If you come across a wild dog, it's going to screw you up.
00:52:40
mmmgelfling
Oh, yeah.
00:52:42
Chris
Or yeah.
00:52:42
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:52:43
Chris
Or just walk down the street and grab a feral cat.
00:52:46
mmmgelfling
yeah Yeah.
00:52:46
Chris
You know, it's, Yeah, there's, yeah, yeah.
00:52:47
mmmgelfling
No, no, no.
00:52:50
mmmgelfling
Yeah. Well, I mean, some people do have snakes as pets.
00:52:55
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:52:56
mmmgelfling
not sure the snake sees themselves as pets, but, you know.
00:52:59
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, you remember Inslee had like a couple of them that would just go around his house?
00:53:06
mmmgelfling
Yeah. No thanks.
00:53:08
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah Or remember that one pet shop in Salisbury that the one boa got loose and it was just like up in the ceiling and they couldn't get it
00:53:09
mmmgelfling
No.
00:53:17
mmmgelfling
I'm out.
00:53:18
Chris
yeah yeah and the thing is i mean they're like yeah i guess technically it's a open you know it's a common ceiling so can you imagine it like you're like three shops down and this giant bella drops on you ah yeah yeah
00:53:31
mmmgelfling
Yeah, yeah. mean, I don't mind snakes. It's just, it's not a pet. But my cousin, she's really into having snakes as pets, so, you know, again, I don't want to yuck anybody's yum, but...
00:53:38
Chris
yeah yeah we would find the snake nest, for lack of a better term, and grab the black rat snake eggs and put them in a terrarium, yeah keep them warm and everything, and then until they got to about, I don't know, 18 inches, keep them as pets.
00:54:04
Chris
And then let them loose out in the woods.
00:54:04
mmmgelfling
That's crazy.
00:54:08
Chris
Yeah, yeah. Well, it's really cool, though, because when they're first, the at least the rat snakes, when they're first born, they're not black. They're like this diamond pattern. So yeah.
00:54:21
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:22
mmmgelfling
That's fun.
00:54:23
Chris
Yeah.
00:54:24
mmmgelfling
um I get to see foxes all the time. Do those kind of pets?
00:54:27
Chris
Yeah. I mean, they seem, they seem nice.
00:54:33
Chris
i think. of
00:54:35
mmmgelfling
They seem really high strung.
00:54:38
Chris
Well, yeah. Yeah.
00:54:40
mmmgelfling
I'm not sure that they're pet material.
00:54:40
Chris
But
00:54:44
Chris
I don't know.
00:54:45
mmmgelfling
I think a raccoon is like, that's where you want to have a pet.
00:54:45
Chris
there yeah Yeah. Yeah. Cause they have the people hands.
00:54:51
mmmgelfling
They got people hands.
00:54:52
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Train it to go, you know, grab something for you.
00:54:55
mmmgelfling
And if you need somebody to rob a bank, they've already got their mask.
00:54:58
Chris
Exactly. Yeah.
00:54:59
mmmgelfling
Yeah. I mean, there are the maniacs of quote-unquote bears as pets.
00:55:02
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:04
Chris
No, no, no, no.
00:55:05
mmmgelfling
what Yeah.
00:55:07
Chris
Yeah. I think when the animal is bigger than you, that's probably when you need to draw the line.
00:55:10
mmmgelfling
Yeah. Right. I'm not having a pet that I can't wrestle.
00:55:13
Chris
Yeah.
00:55:16
Chris
Right. Yeah. that's why you don't have a chimpanzee because they have freakish strength and yeah.
00:55:21
mmmgelfling
And they go right for the nuts.
00:55:23
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:24
mmmgelfling
Yeah, they don't have Japanese.
00:55:25
Chris
Yeah. Which you talk about bears. Have you seen the pictures of the bears with alopecia?
00:55:31
mmmgelfling
Yes.
00:55:32
Chris
Oh my God.
00:55:32
mmmgelfling
Crazy. Terrifying.
00:55:33
Chris
That's that is nightmare fuel there, bud.
00:55:35
mmmgelfling
Yeah. yeah
00:55:36
Chris
God. Yeah. Hmm.
00:55:38
mmmgelfling
Yeah. The last thing you ever want your life, and the last thing you will see in that moment, is a bald bear.
00:55:45
Chris
ah bald-headed bear of such and such mountain yeah yeah yeah or it's like the people that have like you know like the tiger king and all that i mean yeah that's a large animal that can easily eat you
00:55:48
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:55:51
mmmgelfling
Not a fan.
00:56:01
mmmgelfling
Well, it's like the maniacs have wolves in their houses. Like... They're
00:56:04
Chris
yeah yeah because people don't understand wolves are big yeah yeah
00:56:08
mmmgelfling
huge! They are ginormous animals. They are not dogs.
00:56:15
Chris
no no yeah yeah
00:56:16
mmmgelfling
a They are crazy big animals. Uh-uh. And like, just, again, you can't wrestle that dog.
00:56:28
mmmgelfling
You can't wrestle that wolf.
00:56:29
Chris
now no no no well you can you're gonna lose yeah yeah yeah maybe that should be the rule like if you can't like a you know if it's less than a two to one ratio of how many of that animal
00:56:32
mmmgelfling
You're going to lose, yeah. Yeah. and
00:56:45
Chris
you can take on at one time you shouldn't you one to one you're kind of pushing it because that's don't know that's thread in the needle but if it was like you know like two otters i could probably take two otters but do they think you get big though yeah oh yeah yeah yeah but the sea otters they just lay on their back and know they're fumble guys really
00:56:53
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:56:57
mmmgelfling
Oh, I could take two otters easy. I could turn two otters into nunchucks and beat up other otters. got it
00:57:04
mmmgelfling
They get big. Like, the big sea otters are real big. But the river otter? Oh, yeah. I can take the little river otters.
00:57:12
mmmgelfling
Very rapey, apparently.
00:57:15
Chris
Hmm.
00:57:16
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:57:16
Chris
Hmm. Hmm.
00:57:17
mmmgelfling
Animal Kingdom's not really into consent.
00:57:20
Chris
No, it's not.
00:57:21
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:57:22
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:23
mmmgelfling
I don't want any bird in my house, ever.
00:57:25
Chris
Yeah. Friends of ours have a bird.
00:57:27
mmmgelfling
don't really want...
00:57:28
Chris
It's ah a little, don't know, like a gray, not a gray parrot, but something like that. And it's, we were over there around the holidays and like they hadn't clipped its wings lately.
00:57:42
Chris
And all of a sudden just into the room. I was like, Oh God, bird. Yeah.
00:57:47
mmmgelfling
something Something primordial in me that just wants to fight birds.
00:57:50
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. don't know if it's because of the eyes, they have those just dead.
00:57:52
mmmgelfling
It's
00:57:55
Chris
It's like the jaws thing.
00:57:56
mmmgelfling
like the doll's eyes.
00:57:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:57:58
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
00:57:58
Chris
yeah
00:58:00
mmmgelfling
na Yeah. like Like fish are just decoration. They're not pets.
00:58:04
Chris
Yeah. yeah yeah
00:58:06
mmmgelfling
That's just like, oh, that is a pretty cool wall decoration.
00:58:08
Chris
yeah yeah but Yeah. That's a, yeah. It's a living decoration. That's a good way to put that.
00:58:12
mmmgelfling
Yeah. Yeah.
00:58:14
Chris
Yeah. and like a tortoise or something like that i mean it's not like you're gonna play fetch or really yeah
00:58:20
mmmgelfling
Oh, my wife wants a tortoise bed. She's always one of them. No, she loves turtles. That's her thing.
00:58:26
Chris
yeah so i've seen the thing where people who have tortoises put them in the freezer for the winter yeah they put them in the freezer for hibernation and then yeah
00:58:36
mmmgelfling
What? Huh.
00:58:42
Chris
Yeah, I was like, de do you just let them slowly come to room temperature? Do you pop them in the microwave? do
00:58:50
mmmgelfling
Well, you're going to have like a a will for your tortoise. That thing's going to outlive you a good amount.
00:58:56
Chris
Oh, yeah, yeah. That's something that, like, your great, great grandkids are going to deal with.
00:59:01
mmmgelfling
Yeah, like that's a commitment. I'm not into that.
00:59:08
mmmgelfling
I thought lost your
00:59:09
Chris
Placing a tortoise in a regular freezer is dangerous and will kill it. But a dedicated food safe refrigerator can be used for artificial hibernation called brumation for specific naturally hibernating species requiring precise temperature control, ideally 39 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit, in an insulated box with ventilation and regular checks to prevent dehydration and freezing.
00:59:29
Chris
It's a complex process like best left to the experienced owners as improper temperatures, insufficient ventilation, or species unsuitability can lead to severe illness or death.
00:59:45
mmmgelfling
That's fun facts.
00:59:47
Chris
Freezer equals death. A freezer goes below freezing zero degrees Celsius, which is lethal for a tortoise, causing freezing and tissue necrosis.
00:59:49
mmmgelfling
yeah
00:59:56
mmmgelfling
So don't do that part.
00:59:57
Chris
Yeah.
00:59:58
mmmgelfling
Sounds like don't do any of it unless you know which time you're doing, honestly.
00:59:59
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:02
Chris
Contact resources like the Royal Veterinary College or the Tortoise Trust for detailed safe instructions. Oh my gosh, there's a picture that somebody has 12 tortoises in a refrigerator.
01:00:15
mmmgelfling
a lot of tortoises.
01:00:16
Chris
That is Tortai.
01:00:18
mmmgelfling
Tortoises. i had a I had iguanas as a kid.
01:00:22
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:23
mmmgelfling
I really liked iguanas.
01:00:25
Chris
Yeah. We had, we're the little guys, Annals.
01:00:29
mmmgelfling
I don't
01:00:29
Chris
The little, like, we the North, or oh, we would catch skinks too all the time, but yeah.
01:00:29
mmmgelfling
I had skinks.
01:00:34
mmmgelfling
Yeah. I mean, little lizards are kind of not pretty old. Again, just like decoration.
01:00:41
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:41
mmmgelfling
But the iguanas, man. My iguana is like so much older all the time.
01:00:43
Chris
Yeah.
01:00:46
Chris
ah headache I had a hamster that would um i would put my hat on backwards, and he would sit on my head and just look out the front.
01:00:46
mmmgelfling
Damn.
01:00:54
mmmgelfling
I have the worst hamster story of all time.
01:00:57
Chris
Oh, no.
01:01:00
mmmgelfling
by We had hamsters when I was a kid.
01:01:02
Chris
no.
01:01:04
mmmgelfling
And my mother got bit by the hamster on her finger. And she flung it because it bit her. Broke its little neck.
01:01:12
Chris
Oh, no.
01:01:15
Chris
um
01:01:16
mmmgelfling
Yeah. yeah To be fair, the dumb bastard bit her.
01:01:18
Chris
Aw.
01:01:19
mmmgelfling
So, you know, don't bite something that's 300 times your size, hamster.
01:01:20
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah.
01:01:25
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
01:01:25
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:26
mmmgelfling
Yeah.
01:01:27
Chris
It's like people are like, yeah, didn't you worry about it like going to the bathroom on your head? I was like, no, he knew not to. That's that's where his little spot was. we were just chill little bros.
01:01:35
mmmgelfling
Yeah, you know.
01:01:36
Chris
Me and, yeah, his name was Snuggle Guts.
01:01:41
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:42
mmmgelfling
See, there's a lot of pets that people have that, you know, which we we we don't push the limits like polar bears.
01:01:44
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:01:48
Chris
god Oh, God. Oh, no.
01:01:50
mmmgelfling
They're like, you know, you know, that it's important.
01:01:50
Chris
They're left-handed.
01:01:54
mmmgelfling
But it's just like maniacs who have, you know, venomous snakes in their house like you crazy.
01:01:54
Chris
Yeah.
01:01:57
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's like that you talk about the fish. People have like lionfish and you know jellyfish and things like that. It's like, no.
01:02:08
Chris
No.
01:02:08
mmmgelfling
You gotta put your hand in the damn cage and get bit by them. But like, you know, i guess that's fair.
01:02:13
Chris
You got to clean it every now and again.
01:02:16
mmmgelfling
didn't think about that.
01:02:16
Chris
Yeah. Yeah. That's why you have to hire some fool to come over. Yeah.
01:02:22
mmmgelfling
in there and scoop that jellyfish out.
01:02:24
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:26
mmmgelfling
The venomous snake thing I'm not into. Like that's just, that's levels of risk beyond stupidity to me.
01:02:29
Chris
Yeah.
01:02:33
Chris
yeah. Yeah.
01:02:34
mmmgelfling
You know, and you can say all you want.
01:02:34
Chris
Yeah. Yeah.
01:02:36
mmmgelfling
That snake's going to bite you.
01:02:37
Chris

01:02:40
mmmgelfling
He's just looking for an excuse.
01:02:43
Chris
i mean
01:02:44
mmmgelfling
That's
01:02:44
Chris
to be fair cats are the same you know cats are just looking for you to you know lull you into a sense of confidence and then caca yeah yeah yeah
01:02:53
mmmgelfling
why there's no cats in my house.
01:02:57
mmmgelfling
Dogs have loyalty and compassion.
01:03:00
Chris
yeah
01:03:00
mmmgelfling
Cats are evil little monsters.
01:03:02
Chris

01:04:42
Chris
the I say, where is it legal to own a raccoon? Next is to own an otter. The third is to own a Fox. Where is it legal? Yeah. Oh yeah. Let's use my location. states mentioned as potentially allowing them or Wyoming, Alaska, California, oh, California and Pennsylvania have strict bans.
01:05:11
mmmgelfling
yeah
01:05:11
Chris
m Typically you need a permit from fish and wildlife.
01:05:18
Chris
ah Maryland requires a permit from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
01:05:22
mmmgelfling
There you go.
01:05:23
Chris
Hey, I can get a raccoon.
01:05:24
mmmgelfling
You get a raccoon. You have plenty of DNR cops.
01:05:28
Chris
This says Delaware you can.
01:05:31
mmmgelfling
I looked into it and said it was illegal. I maybe me need a permit.
01:05:39
mmmgelfling
I think because you can get in trouble if you like foster raccoon in Delaware. can
01:05:44
Chris
pet raccoon in Delaware. They're classified as a rabies vector species.
01:05:55
Chris
If you're considering one.
