Here at Please Stop Talking,
there are times when an episode has to be scrapped.
Maybe it was too weird.
Maybe there were intermittent technical problems that couldn't be solved within the recording period.
And maybe, just maybe, we've gathered snippets, bits, fragments, segments of these scrapped episodes for you to enjoy.
Maybe, just maybe, we've put them in a show of its own.
A show called The Lost Files.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy.
You know what's an underrated show?
Neo-Yokio.
Neo-Yokio.
I do not like that show.
I really enjoyed Jaden Smith's performance as, like, a really bored rich kid.
Like, obviously he fits the role perfectly,
but by the end I was really into just how, like,
weird his performance was.
It was a ride.
Also, I guess I really love the joke
that it's called Neo-Yokio,
and everywhere it's got, like, you know,
a weird future sci-fi name,
but New Jersey is just called New Jersey.
I vaguely remember seeing an episode,
but it was like he visited the grave
of like his ambitions or something.
It was something really fucking strange.
Yeah.
Like the flowers and shit.
And it's like,
I'm visiting my ambitions for life or something.
This is very strange.
I mean,
the whole show is fucking weird as shit.
That guy,
fucking Jaden Smith is weird as shit.
Just in general i remember
when i went to see tyler the creator he was like the first act before him and he just like at one
point he asked everybody and he asked everybody like okay everybody anybody want to hear me play
the guitar and like his fucking underage fans were all like ah fuck yeah and then he just like
takes out his fucking guitar and then he went to
the microphone and said i actually don't know how to play this and then he just started playing the
guitar and he was just like missing every fucking note and singing so fucking poorly just like right
before singing he's he he like look at the the sound guys and was like, OK, guys, take out my processing on my voice.
And then it was just like his raw ass voice singing this awful fucking tune.
And all his fucking fans were losing their fucking shit.
And I wanted to die.
He's a weird dude.
He sounds great.
I don't know about that.
I love him.
I'm so glad that he feels prepared to give it his all
like that i mean i mean i mean that's kind of that's kind of fucking i'm inspired to go yeah
to go out and just like play fucking wrong i guess yeah like at some point you like you pass
an event horizon of being known by people and you can kind of do anything it's incredible and people
are still gonna to clap.
Yeah. And then after he finished
singing and playing the guitar, he said, is this the concert?
Speaking of
catching up at the
concerts, no one said that.
No one fucking said that.
It's been a while since I've been on the program and since then.
Speaking of poorly rehearsed
performances avery and i have become neighbors oh yeah and he was he was welcomed very warmly
and it was it was beautiful and a wonderful yeah i was welcomed by you wearing your fucking
night helmet and dimitri in a hazmat suit that was interesting it was a good it was a good night
though yeah it was a good night sounds like no no, it was a good night. Sounds like a typical...
No, no, because Dimitri was there that time.
The time when we called Dimitri
and we were both on the floor blind drunk
and we just yelled McNuggets into the phone
and he knew exactly what we wanted.
You wanted McNuggets?
Yeah, we wanted him to come over
with a fucking, like, 50-pack of McNuggets
and all the sauces.
50-pack?
We didn't say 50. He said that... We of McNuggets and all the sauces. 50-pack? We didn't say 50.
He said that, um...
We said McNuggets, and he said, oh, I went to McDonald's, and I said, how many McNuggets
can you give me?
And he said, oh, and the lady said, 50.
So I got 50.
Wow.
How, um...
Are the McDonald's closed over there now?
No.
This was before, um...
This was, yeah.
Yeah, because every McDonald's is closed, and I drove down the night they all closed closed over there now no this was this was before um this was yeah yeah this is back in like every
mcdonald's is closed i drove down the night they all closed so that i could get the last the last
mcnuggets i'm ever gonna have oh that's so fucked it was they were really good and i don't miss them
though i've lost multiple pounds just by not being able to eat much shit although this morning i did
stay awake until 11 a.m so i could order Domino's and eat a personal pizza
and then I went to sleep immediately, which I know
isn't healthy. But like, where's
the food gonna go? They say it doesn't digest
in your sleep, which is probably not true.
But like, it'll digest when I wake up.
It's fine, you know.
What's wrong with that?
That's the one thing that's not true that I'll
argue on. Yeah, like
that doesn't make sense.
The body doesn't stop doing things when it's asleep.
When you sleep, you literally die.
Wait, fuck, I'm mixing up McNugget Night with the first night Avery came.
Because that was Star Wars Night.
Yeah, that was...
Oh, fuck me.
God damn it, Star Wars Night.
I know about that.
Yeah, I know about that.
I got so fucking drunk.
I got so drunk both fucking nights.
Mandy, do you want to tell the fucking Stars one night story?
No, I think you have to tell it because you had to experience it.
Just say what happened and then you can say...
So, the first fucking night when I was there,
I walk into Mandy's apartment
and I'm greeted by
Mandy in a
fucking night helmet and I think a
robe? I don't remember. I don't remember either.
I feel like you were in a robe.
Dimitri was in a hazmat
suit sitting in the corner staring at
where I was going to be walking in from
and
Mandy's girlfriend was just there.
And she said,
hello,
which was the weird,
which,
which was the strangest part because fucking,
it was a horrible night.
It was a horrible welcome.
I don't even remember what we did before stars war because nothing
something have a drink if you're gonna watch attack the clones oh yeah that's what happened
yeah so we watched attack of the fucking clones and i got really drunk because we were watching
attack of the fucking clones so by the time we started revengevenge of the Sith, I was fucking gone.
And when Revenge of the Sith started, a few things kind of got a little bit weird.
Like, um, when fucking Grievous gets launched out of the fucking window at the beginning,
the space battle thing, when he gets, when he launches himself out the window it played like the i don't even fucking know what are you talking about what
like it's like a fucking uh you're like like scream
and then he came back and i was like what the fuck was that and then i fucking look over at
mandy who's also drunk as shit and he looks shocked and confused just like me and then
he turns to me and he says i don't fucking know this is the disney plus version And the thing is, is that I know Mandy and Mandy is a, has the worst fucking poker face
I've ever seen when he's doing something fucked.
The reason I immediately looked at him is because I went, this is some fuck shit that
he did.
And then he looks at me and like pure shock on his face.
I was like, okay, it wasn't fucking him this is the disney plus version
because i literally went through a catalog in my brain like does he have disney plus he watched
the mandalorian he has disney plus this is the disney plus version yeah like in the original
version um i'm not done talk about mcclunky yeah mcclunky was another reason i was like i guess they're just fucking with
everything now what is mclunky and then as the movie goes on it gets more and more fucked and
there's a few videos of this and the fucking grievous fight it's like intercut with unfinished like poser animations of Grievous using his body as a
vehicle
and just
spinning and
I'm just I still think that
this is the Disney Plus version I'm just like
why would they include this
at one point
at one point I say
it looks like fucking Bebe's kids.
Oh my fucking god.
And I am genuinely, like, this is the part where I'm like, this seems like fuckery.
This seems like this is not right.
But I've continued to drink, so I'm operating on like a four-year-old level so the the time when it finally clocks for me that it's wrong is when there's a fucking scene of the jedi council and it's cutting
between all the council members and it just fucking cuts to arthur fleck for a second
and that's when i stood up and i fucking screamed because i was so fucking angry
that i thought this was not fucked with for such
a long time he took advantage of me and the reason that it worked the reason that it worked
and this is the best fucking part is that when the fucking yolei who scream start sound happened
and i looked at mandy he was genuinely shocked and confused because he had forgotten that he fucked with
so he accidentally he accidentally gave himself a fucking poker face by tricking himself because
drunk mandy had taken over at that point so it was a different fucking person that was the plan
i was like oh when i spend you know six hours editing this fucked version of revenge of the
sith i'm
gonna drink a tundering attack the clones so by the time we start it i will remember that i fucked
with it so when when arthur fleck appeared on screen like as the joker it's when he's like on
murray's show and he's like sitting in the chair looking really disappointed and it's when anakin's
like not in the council it's like how did you do this it's unfair and it cuts to the joker just
looking kind of sad for a second.
And he starts yelling,
That's fucking Arthur Fleck! This isn't Disney Plus!
That was the Joker!
He's like arguing with everybody.
Oh my god, dude.
I was so fucking mad.
And we're just like, what are you talking about? There wasn't a Joker.
And he's like, the Joker! He was there!
And we start arguing with him like whether or not the Joker
appeared because he sat back down
and I guess kind of accepted that it didn't happen
because the Grievous fight came after that
and he's like why would they include
this
I was so fucked
you're a bad friend
no like when they fought Grievous in the beginning
and played like the part 3 music you're like this kind of sounds
like Jojo
I was so confused for the entire movie just that one instance where
i look at you and you're also confused that like convinced me of so fucking much he calls
complicated like dial-up noises playing and shit
the opening credits movie was a villain invasion well I planned it out like at the beginning
it was like just little things or kind of like what
like little sound effects
in the opening crawl no no no like
when you see Grievous like I added um
I added like 400% more
coughing so like Anakin and Obi-Wan would be talking
you just hear Grievous like fucking coughing in the background
a ton
and you'd be like wow he coughs a lot fucking more
than I remember I didn't like unfinished deleted scenes and they're like in the fuel pipes so you see like
these shitty looking like poser battle droids like people splashing on him it's like wow this
is a lot different than i remember i was like no no no because this is why the ship blows up
because they're in the fuel like oh yeah i guess that's right. I need to see this. This is... It's a full movie.
That's fucking insane.
Everyone I've told about this
has asked me for the fucking file.
Everyone wants it.
We'll get no shit.
But just so you'll know now,
if it leaks out,
fucking Lowry,
you're into the Sith.
Yeah, they're gonna finally copyright strike you
for being called Mandalore Gaming. Yeah, that's how they'll fucking a Sith. Yeah, they're gonna finally copyright strike you for being called Mandalore Gaming.
That's how they'll fucking get me.
You think it's funny to replace our Obi-Wan fight
with, like, test PS1 footage?
Guess what?
Now it's over for you.
Oh, God. I genuinely forgot working on it.
I was like, haha,
it'll just get worse and worse the longer the movie goes on
because your brain will be more and more off, so you might
start accepting more. It's like, you don't show
the Joker until, like, you're two-thirds
of the way through the movie.
Then it's fine to show Arthur Fleck, and that'll
make you realize that the movie
was fucked with. But then your friend will be like,
that didn't happen, because your friend
was a piece of shit.
Do we just say, like, what are you
talking about? I didn't see that. Like like yeah wait what do you mean the joker
he was there he was on the giant council he's looking like you're fucking crazy
because we all know what's happening oh yeah no that reminds me of yeah it was like
it was like when we fucking played dnd for the first time and then after everyone leaves you're
pointing to empty spaces oh yeah in the
fucking room and yelling like there are people what the fuck dude oh no that was so i i was
like recounting something that happened but instead of just like talking about them like
they're there i was pointing to where they were sitting so when anthony said that that was so
fucked or whatever.
And I just like point at like an empty spot in the floor.
No,
no,
it's you point at what you pointed at one blank space.
He was fucking with me.
And then you point at the couch and said,
but this one's a wild card.
Well,
did you change the credits at all?
Like did it say directed by Lars von Trier?
Oh no,
I put, um, I put Metal Gear Solid 5 music on the, in the trailer, not the trailer, change the credits at all? Like did it say directed by Lars von Trier? Oh, no, I put um, I put Metal Gear Solid 5 music on the in the trailer
credits
I think no. Yeah, I put two different Metal Gear songs in the credits. I
Smired the obi-wan fight. I just almost completely replaced with like their test footage because it was a lot more violent and
there was stuff like in the in the test footage that didn't make sense.
When Obi-Wan kills Grievous in the movie,
he keeps shooting him and he
catches on fire and dies. Spoilers.
In the test footage,
Obi-Wan rips Grievous' heart out and
throws it across the landing platform.
And Grievous is still fighting him.
And then Obi-Wan turns around and shoots his heart
and then Grievous dies.
Wow.
Like, his heart's not attached to him anymore.
Yeah, like, there's that scene where he tries to reach the heart when he's, like, ripping at his chest.
And then he throws him off.
So, like, you can see where they're like, no, we need a kid-friendly thing.
He just has to shoot him in the heart.
Yeah, well, this was like Obi-Wan rips his heart out and throws it across the room.
But Grievous is still alive.
Then Obi-Wan sprints around and shoots it,
and Grievous dies.
And so I kept that in,
and I remember Avery just screeching,
what, when that happened, and hitting a pillow really hard.
This did happen!
We should explain McClunky.
This will be the day he starts playing.
McClunky. Someone has to explain McClunky.
I feel like people know about McClunky.
I don't know. Okay. So when
Disney Plus came out
and it had all the Star Wars movies,
they had a new
cut of A New Hope
that apparently George Lucas got
full say on, like on the final cut of it.
And so it's completely
the same as the terrible CGI
version, except it has one change which is
right before grito shoots han he just says mcclunky and then shoots
that's not real my hand that's real yeah now you understand now you understand why i bought it now you
understand why i bought that it was the disney plus version weird shit in the disney plus
version so he's like oh they had a mcclunkey maybe they just left in test footage because
fuck it are you i can't believe that's real what well honestly i mean the best part of
this is that mandy did get official sign off from george luc Lucas to make these changes.
How is McClunky real?
McClunky feeds into my theory that George Lucas is just fucking with people now.
Oh yeah, absolutely.
These are my official directorial changes.
This is my original vision
that I couldn't put in the first cut.
What does it mean?
What the fuck does it mean?
New 2019 Disney Plus change comparison. It's like, oh, you go 2019 disney plus change comparison it's like oh you
go oh there's calling it that because you know it's gonna it's gonna do a side by side of all
the fucking changes but no it's just the one fucking scene it's just mcclunkey what does it
mean what does mcclunkey mean nothing no one knows is it like it doesn't mean. No one knows. Is it like an insult? It doesn't mean anything. No one knows. No one knows.
There it is.
Disney Plus changes. It's the one scene.
It's just McClunky. That's the only thing
they added. Why is it during
this scene? He's fucking with people
because that's the same people always say.
That's a big controversial scene, so what are you going to do to it?
He says McClunky before he shoots it.
No, he says McClunky.
George, what does McClunky mean? Shut up. He says McClunky George what does McClunky mean shut up
he says McClunky get in the voice booth
there's a really famous
interview with George
where like a super fan stands up like at a university
and asks like what happens
after the original trilogy like before
there are any books and stuff and George is
very dispassioned
they died
that's not real
no
that's not
oh you want
David
I think David
just watched
yeah
you just got
some McClunky
dude the way
he says it
McClunky
they puppeted it
McClunky
like he doesn't
say it like an insult
he just says it
like a noise
the voice actor for that line hideaki ano shut the fuck up shut the fuck up
you see all this can probably make one to going maybe you know what maybe when grievous got
blown out the window maybe he had a yodeling who fucking knows that sounded like yodeling
that's yodeling in his language they won't do that why would he scream like that oh they had
mcclunky though i cannot believe that's real it was a mixture it was a mixture of mcclunky being
real and something i knew about and it being the disney plus version and everything was fucked
right when it came out yeah no and mixed with the fact that i know Mandy doesn't have a fucking poker face and when I looked at him
he looked honest
because
he was being honest because his
brain had deleted the information
it was some ocelot shit I was like I'm gonna hypnotize myself
with this vodka to not remember making this plan
fuck up
so when he looks at me
I won't remember it either
so have you all seen the new Disney Plus thing they have now?
They should call it Disney Minus.
It's not very good.
Go fuck yourself.
Holy shit.
I fucking hate you.
Can we get off the Disney train?
Can we talk about anything else?
I'm getting fucking dizzy again.
How about this, Post-It boy?
How about you tell us about your Post-its oh my god my post-its okay
so yeah so i have attention deficit whatever it's called disorder i don't know what the h stands for
i forget hyperactivity some kind of brain hyper hypersensitivity i don't know i'm very sensitive
okay um anyway so whenever i have to do a thing like like be on a podcast, I freeze up and I'm like,
shit, I don't have anything interesting to say. My life isn't interesting and I suck.
So I write down everything that comes into my head for a while. And now I have a large array
of post-its with like, just like random bits of words and notes. So that I'm like, if I forget
what I was going to say, I have like a reminder. It's really awful.
It's really helping though to like do things. I've reorganized my
kitchen so that everything's on display
on like a rack. So now I know what food
I have and I don't forget and just buy more
things and then eat that. It's great.
I have left some apples in the
fridge for like two months though.
Oh dude, what?
Because I don't, it doesn't occur to me that they're in the fridge. I two months though oh dude what because i don't i don't eat like it doesn't
occur to me that they're in the fridge i'm like i'll keep them in the fridge because then when i
start eating them i'll take that out and then i can just eat them normally i mean you can you
could reuse them to make a bong honestly that's what i did apples what yeah oh wow i didn't i
didn't i didn't i'm not a weed person i'm like like, rotten apples. That's from a podcast episode,
but it's fine.
We can all forget.
Ah,
is it?
Yeah.
I'm shocked.
I didn't get that.
It's from a lost file.
Oh,
Oh,
well,
I don't know if I've heard it.
Oh,
well,
I have a story.
Lost files collectively forgets every single lost file after.
Yeah.
I mean,
I think,
I think we immediately immediately we immediately like forget
about it just because we're all like we have to we have to get rid of this episode i forget
everything i say in every episode until four months later when someone quotes it at me
exactly what the freak you talking about i never said that when people tell me my own story to my
face and i'm like i whoa as a self-defense mechanism i
forget everything i say as i'm saying it so that i don't have to hear it you're the smart one here
i i do have a story that i've deliberately not told avery uh so that i can tell it on the podcast
let's hear it okay so mild this goes somewhere so little warning there. So I would hope so.
That's what story is.
The last time I heard this, it ended with a framed furry artwork picture on a wall.
So I actually found love.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do.
Yeah.
And didn't share it.
Yeah.
I found an old photo of it on my wall.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
Anyway, he told me never to show it to anybody ever again,
but I guess now he's just going to talk about it in public.
Well,
just don't post it.
It's fine.
Yeah.
Um,
I think I mentioned that like when I,
when I got back from,
from a trip that my mother had framed it and put it on the wall.
Um,
yeah.
So I think she might still have it somewhere,
but we're not on speaking terms right now.
She stole my step ladder.
So,
well, this is a different story um uh you know it's quarantine time so yeah you know my my family
wanted to visit me uh so and my mom was like i've made a cake i'm gonna let's come over and talk
about how life is going let's let's update each other on on things let's talk about which which close relatives are dying now and uh she came over and when she came over she was like
okay um we want to we want to mow your lawn for you i have a very small lawn out front that i
don't know because there's no point it's tiny and so I get the key to the the shed and they
take the mower out and I notice that while they do it they take the they take my little step ladder
with them and the step ladder is like outside next to my garage and then when they're done
mowing which they insisted on doing specifically to get in there when i go back i notice that the
ladder's gone and they just took my stepladder and just didn't say anything so you stopped
talking to your parents because they took your stepladder she stole my story listen is this the
story no i just remembered i just remembered the stepl step ladder anyway i'm gonna read some i'm gonna read some texts between me and my mother
what um getting beavered did you take the step ladder yes did you need it we can bring it back
if you prefer why are you calling out your mom on this fucking podcast? Me. Oh, it's okay. I might need it to get into the attic.
Wish you'd told me.
But hey, it's fine.
Sorry, I can bring back this week if you want them.
I should have asked you and not assumed you didn't need them.
Graham thinks they're too short for you to get into the attic.
He thinks you need some five foot tall steps.
Don't worry about it.
It just felt strange being done secretly.
It wasn't a secret.
They were Graham's steps and he just assumes you wouldn't be interested in them
hold on no this is good um it's graham's step ladder his auntie edna gave it to him when she
went into the care home it's tiny anyway what's an heirloom yeah so anyway i ignored this because
i didn't realize i set them off. I just assumed they'd borrowed it.
But then I got another message back.
I've decided to buy you a stepladder.
What size would you like?
So like I idly asked if they'd taken my stepladder or not.
And now I'm getting these really apologetic messages asking if if i want one for real and i feel so bad but also i guess kind of self-righteous i mean
i couldn't like said anything it'd be fine i don't want it oh god i hate her
anyway yeah you can cut all that out please
starting from where do you want to cut the entire step ladder story Anyway, yeah, you can cut all that out, please.
Starting from where?
Do you want to cut the entire stepladder story?
Oh, wait, is this the podcast?
I'm going to fucking murder you, Harry.
Oh, my God.
You sound genuinely upset.
I can't process anything.
Mandy, tell your fucking raccoon story.
Get us home.
Oh my god, I'll tell a raccoon story.
I'm gathering the strength to tell the raccoon story.
You need to meditate.
Okay.
Everyone needs a short rest to recover.
So, we had these... We had had garbage cans and we had issues with
um like possums and all kinds of uh verminous creatures and i was i want to say six and um
where my room was it was a very small room it was it had the um i think it was supposed to be like a some kind of utility
closet originally it wasn't very big it had enough room for the bed and a pile of clothes in the
corner that's about it but it had a door to the um the attic access and so i was six years old
running around my dad's like you want to see a sci-fi movie son it's like stars war like yeah
okay i want to watch like that and he puts on alien i'm watching alien with my dad and so of course i'm fucking terrified i'm like shaking and he's like
it'll be fine son he's like here's don't go have any nightmares and he like puts you to bed and
he's like no he's like you better go to sleep quick or it'll get you and he slams the door shut
i feel like I
yeah that's what I was gonna say
yeah but I had this um I had this Jurassic Park
poster on my wall that had like this velociraptor
with like this 3D holographic effect
that would be like screeching at you
so I like roll over and look at it and it's like
screeching at me and I'm like locking eyes with it
it's not cool at night it's fucking scary
but I don't take it down during the day and so I'm like oh okay like i'll go to bed it's not real
it's not real done the attic access i start hearing oh my god there's something fucking
clawing at the door and then so i'm like dad dad and he's like it's like what he's like
but you're having a nightmare, son.
There's no such thing as xenomorphs.
Go back to sleep.
There's no such thing as xenomorphs.
No such thing as xenomorphs.
Yeah, he's like, no such thing as xenomorphs.
Go back to sleep. And he shuts the door.
And then, three seconds later,
boom! Explosion! Doors open.
And he goes, rawr! And just like screeches at me.
So I scream. He starts laughing. It's like just a little joke good night son shuts the door again what the fuck what the fuck i cannot believe
it took it took this long for me to get your fucking origin story your super villain origin
story that's what i learned that no one can be trusted. I'm bed-holding with my fucking Yoda bedspread.
My glow-in-the-dark Yoda bedspread.
Cleaning it for dear life.
And then I start hearing at the door again the scratching.
The fucking scratching at the attic door's back.
And then I start hearing...
I'm like, oh, I'm gonna fucking die.
And so I'm sitting there, preparing for death.
And I fall asleep at some point.
And the next day I tell my dad about it.
And he's like, oh, you're just having nightmares.
And then it happened again.
The next night.
Except this time, it got much worse.
Because when I say it's an attic access door,
it wasn't like a regular-sized human door.
It's more like a goblin door or a dwarf door.
Any adult person would have to crouch down to get in through it.
Not a politically correct door.
No.
It was a very vertically discriminating door.
And so, it kind of had, like, a bunch of gaps, like, on the top and the edge. It was more like...
It was very shoddy.
But the next time I hear the scratchy again, I'm like,
I'm going to be a brave boy, and I'm going to try and hear what it is.
So I get up with my,
like my,
uh,
my ticker slippers or whatever.
And I,
I go up to the door and I start hearing the scratching again.
And I looked down at the bottom of the door and I see this claw reach out
from the door and start violently thrashing around.
Oh my fucking God.
And so I'm like,
my dad comes in again he's like
you're dreaming about xenomorphs again son like it's in the attic it's in the attic it's like
what are you talking about and then he fucking hears it and then he turns he looks the door too
and he's like you're right son he looks at me he's like it goes he doesn't say it's a raccoon
or oh may something got in the attic he just goes there's something in there like he's not being fucking comforting because i guess he doesn't know what it is either
and i'm like what is that he's like it could be an animal if it does that's rabies
like well what's rabies it's like it's a disease you go crazy if you get it
but it's okay but because if you do get they can cure it
they shove a needle the size of your arm into your stomach
He comes back and he has like these oven mitts on and this like this large box
He's like he gives me a little box like okay if whatever it
is gets past me you have to catch it in the box and flip it up and don't let it bite you
like well how will it bite me he's like i told you i don't know what it is open the door
holy shit dude and so we open the attic access very slowly and thankfully the fucking light bulb was on there
but there are two baby raccoons on top of a box and they're just like purring oh
and it turned out that the mama raccoon had um clawed its way into the roof because it was
cheap paneling and then just had her babies inside and so and so we just put them in a box with the oven it's called animal control
and they were moved we thought it was fine until four days later when we're eating out in the back
deck which is like on the second floor is pretty high and then we see the mama raccoon approaching
the deck look with her babies looks up at us his, and then goes under the crawlspace in the house.
Like, Animal Control's like,
oh yeah, we moved them really far away.
Fucking, a few days later,
I'll never forget it, we were eating spaghetti.
I remember the spaghetti.
And I remember my dad going,
well, they're back.
What? Look down, I see the raccoon down there.
Looks up directly at us.
Goes under the house where I play with my fucking Legos.
It's down there.
And so we went through the same
shit again.
Except this time,
animal control never came.
We asked my dad if animal control got the raccoon.
He's like, yeah.
It won't be a problem anymore.
Oh, man.
That was my experience with raccoons, besides catching possums with my father.
