And I hate to say that. I mean, we're at the end of October, man. It's like we're closing out another year.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Two months left, November and December. And then another year has boogied by. I guess that's why they designed all these celebrations towards the end of the year just to help us forget that we're getting older. It's like, you know what? People are going to get depressed that they're getting older, man. So let's obscure their thought patterns
Starting point is 00:04:41 and we'll throw a whole bunch of like, we'll throw a holiday where you dress up and get candy. We'll throw a holiday where you celebrate a giant turkey and some pumpkins.

I was calling to see, I'm here with my husband, Bill, and our son would like, we adopted a young boy, and he'd like a puppy. Do you have puppies? Do we have puppies at the store? Yes. We do not. We have the adoption agency that comes here on the weekend, and there's often puppies in there. Oh, okay, what kind are there?

Wait, hold on. It's an albino bunny with lion hair? Yeah, he's got, like, a whole lion mane. Does he, is he dangerous? No, he's not dangerous. He doesn't get along with other bunnies too well, but he's really good with people.
Starting point is 00:11:39 So he's, I'm, wait a say, he's part bunny and he's part lion? No, he's not actually a little lion. It's just the type of hair he has. It grows really long around his neck and everything, like a lion's mane. Okay, because I wouldn't want my boy to be with a bunny in it. It turns on him and goes through his throat or... No, no, he's not like that. Okay, that's... How much is the lion rabbit bunny?
Starting point is 00:12:02 I'm not quite sure. I could transfer you to the floor, though, just because I'm in grooming. They'll be able to help you. Well, let me... You're in grooming. This is good because my son's allergic to animal hair. So what I need to know is, could you shave that hair right off? And could we get them?
Starting point is 00:12:16 hairless? On what kind of on the bunny? Yes. No, unfortunately everything that we work on in here has to have their rabies vaccine
Starting point is 00:12:24 and they don't do that. Rabies? Yeah, rabies vaccine. Do rabbits get rabies? I mean, in the wild they could. Well, this one sounds like you said it's part lion? Yeah, it's not part lion.
Starting point is 00:12:37 It's just has a lion mane. That's what they call it when it has long hair around his neck and chest. Let me ask you this. If I were to, let's say, wink, wink, wink, slide you a $20 bill? Could we maybe shave the bunny?
Starting point is 00:12:49 No, I really can't. I would lose my job. I'm sorry. What about would $40 get the bunny bald? No, man, I can't do anything with the bunny. I'm sorry. Well, I'm torn because my son is allergic to animal
Starting point is 00:13:05 hair and he gets his ankles swell up and he gets sick. We carry reptiles as well. I mean, we have snakes, lizards. Oh. Do they have hair? No, they're hairless, so you wouldn't have any kind of allergy issues with that. So they're bald? Yeah, yeah, all the lizards and stuff. They have no hair. How much is a bald snake?

Oh, hi, Evan. How are you?
Starting point is 00:14:54 Good. I was talking to one of your co-workers there, and I was explaining that we have a son, and he wants to get a pet, but he's allergic to animal hair. And so one of your co-workers in the grooming department was saying you have a lion rabbit, a lion bunny. A lion-headed rabbit, yes. It's albino? Uh-huh. So we were wondering, and I hope this isn't inappropriate, but I said I'd slip him $40 if he could bald it up for me, like shave it so that my son doesn't have a reaction.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Right. Well, a lot of times it's not just the dander. Sometimes the saliva can also be a problem, at least in terms of cats. The saliva? Mm-hmm. So, like, it'll spit on my child? No, like, you know how cats bathe themselves?
Starting point is 00:15:50 A lot of times I can cause an allergic reaction. Oh, my God, I'd just be devastated if, you know, Charles was playing with his albino lion rabbit and it spit on them. Well, let me ask you this then. Is it possible for $40, we balled it up, we shave it, and for another 40 we put duct tape around its mouth so it can't see? bit? We don't groom rabbit.
Starting point is 00:16:16 What about duct tape their little mouth shut? I'm afraid we don't have any duct tape. Okay. Well, I'll try another store. Thank you. Sure. Okay, bye-bye. Daniel!
Starting point is 00:16:32 Damien! Look at me! I'm over here. Damien, I love you. Look at me, Damien. It's all for you. Okay, settle down, everyone. Now, speaking of demonic,
Starting point is 00:16:59 have you ever seen a crazy, like, driver? And I don't mean, like, erratically driving, like swerving all over the road. what I'm talking about is a crazy driver in a crazy car. You ever see one of these cars and sometimes people have stuff like bunched up all the way to the roof, like the backseat and the trunk and there's garbage bags on the window. And, you know, clearly it's probably someone who's a hoarder or maybe they don't have a lot of money or they're just eccentric.
Starting point is 00:17:36 I don't know. But every now and then you see one of these real wacky cars. where the driver looks a little, you know, out of sorts, you know, like got crazy crooked wig on their head or, you know, glasses with lemonade on them or, you know, they're, they've got body sores or they're just, you know, their teeth look like they fell out of a scarecrow or something. I mean, you know what I mean? And every now and then you see one of these wacky vehicles where it just looks like
Starting point is 00:18:09 their whole life is stuffed into the car and you get the feeling they probably sleep or live out of their car well the other day and this one freaked me out it like kind of scared me but made me laugh at the same time uh i pulled into uh staples you know good old staples to buy some office supplies and uh i get in my car and i i go into staples as i'm coming out i get in my car. As I'm walking to my car, I see this, like, nutty car pulling up. It was kind of a beat-up old car, and the lady behind the wheel looked a little maniacal. She had kind of big, like, rolling eyes, and her skin was seven shades of tanning cream. You know, she looked like a desert at sunset, just all these different shades of brown on her face, and the car was overloaded
Starting point is 00:19:07 with bubble wrap and sandwiches and I think there was a dog and a cat sticking out somewhere. And I'd seen it all before, but what really got me, and this is where it kind of stuck in my head, and I thought I got to share this with the pavement pounders, I saw on the steering wheel, it looked like plastic garbage, not garbage bags, grocery bags. And I thought, what the heck is that on the wheel? And then they started moving. and then I looked, and I realized she had grocery bags on her hands, like mittens. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:19:48 I don't know. It looked like they were held on with elastics or string or rope or something. But both her hands were, like, covered with great big, like, grocery bags from, like, your local grocery store. and she was like turning the wheel and she had kind of a kooky look on her face and her eyes were all bugged out and she caught me staring at her just like looking at her like fascinated
Starting point is 00:20:17 like wow what the hell is it's like it's like the first time you go to Cirque de Soleil and you're like wow and you just you almost want to tell her you want to go hey hey nutty hello nutty Yeah, there's grocery bags on your hands. And then you realize there's no way that could be an accident.
Starting point is 00:20:38 You realize they put the grocery bags on their hands. And now you're going, why? Why? What's wrong with their hands? What do those hands look like? I mean, I live in California, man, where it gets hot. And this looked like an old car. The windows were down.
Starting point is 00:20:54 It didn't look like she had air conditioning. So I'm like, what do those hands look like? You're driving around all day. 100 degree heat in the San Fernando Valley with the grocery bags on your hands. And you're driving, and I don't know, you've got to figure it gets all sweaty in there and moist, and then you've got to go, well, how do you even hold on to a steering wheel? Your hands are probably all watery and slimy, and you're trying to turn a wheel, and then the plastic slippery on top of it, and, I don't.
Starting point is 00:21:31 don't know man the mysteries of human beings the things that they do it's kind of bizarre it was just kind of bizarre and i you know you kind of want to yell paper plastic you know but you can't because you know obviously something's a little loose upstairs but just i don't know if if you've ever seen anyone in a wacky car call me i want to i want to hear about it man I want to hear your story Because everyone's seen it You've all seen the nut the nutmobile With the whack job in it
Starting point is 00:22:10 There's a guy that drives around Hollywood He's been here for as long as I've been here 20, 25 years And it's this guy And he drives around Hollywood And he's got a big like old car And he painted it pink And he rode all over
Starting point is 00:22:28 And he painted his name on it And he stuck like dollheads to it and and pieces of garbage and I mean his car's like a rolling museum and he's got signs and goes I'm an actor hire me I'm an actor and I think Ellen actually had him on her show a number of years back like she is I think his name's Dennis Woodruff or something you can probably see him online I'm pretty sure it's Dennis Woodruff but he had this nutty car and uh you know well you know what let me look it up here for you Okay, yeah, found it, right here on the internet. Dennis Woodruff, Dennis Woodruff. Look it up. Go on Google Images. It's Dennis and then Woodruff with two Fs, Woodruff. And you'll see, this guy's got, not only does he have one car, he's got like, he's got a whole fleet. I mean, this guy's got a whole bunch. He's got vans. He's got pickup trucks. He's got a trailer. And these things have giant heads stuck to them.
Starting point is 00:23:31 skulls and movie reels, and the whole vehicle's painted, there's flowers, there's duct tape, everything but a bald albino bunny. And this guy drove around Hollywood for years. That was his job. He'd get up every day and drive around and park in front of Starbucks and park on Hollywood Boulevard. And believe it or not, people, you know, I guess if you make enough noise for long enough, somebody notices you. And as I said, I think Ellen had this guy on her show. And I know my buddy Tom Green, who's had a bunch of different talk shows.
Starting point is 00:24:08 He's had this guy on. And, oh, my God. He's just looks like he's been through about 50 different cars, this guy. But kind of an example of what I'm talking about. Like, you always kind of see these people in the Nutmobiles. and so if you see someone out there driving around with shopping bags on their hands you better yell quick
Starting point is 00:24:38 paper or plastic because they're probably moving along pretty quick hello hey Harlan just want to let you know flat chicken wings are definitely the best and the bowl of rockerola is the best thing I've ever heard ever Well, there you go. Yeah, I asked the question of the day on a recent podcast is when you get chicken wings, do you like the drumstick or do you like the flat part? And it looks like this pavement ponder likes the flat part. I'm in agreement. So correct. You are correct. And I'm glad you liked Ebola rockerola making light of this whole Ebola. Oh, my God, I just got some. No, I'm kidding. Making light of the whole Ebola thing.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Even though it's a serious thing, you've got to admit there's, like always, there's been some overreaction and some hysteria. You know, there's an epidemic of Ebola, and yet, you know, three people have it or did have it or what have you. More people die every year from the common cold and the flu than Ebola. Now, that being said, Ebola could take off like a wildfire if it did get loose. So, you know, it's definitely something that needs to be contained and checked. The ramifications are deadly and lethal. But we had some fun with it. And it brings me to a point where I don't know if you've been watching these elections,
Starting point is 00:26:13 the midterm elections or whatever are heating up. And, you know, forget the elections, just politicians in general. doing things that I think they think makes them look like just regular people and like they have good intentions and that they're willing to sacrifice for the people. And case in point, the mayor of New York, after they found out that this doctor came back to New York and he was covered with Ebola,
Starting point is 00:26:46 and I think he's still in the hospital. God bless him. I hope he's okay. but this guy before he went into the hospital was wandering around. He went bowling. He went into restaurants and all this. And the mayor of New York, like two days later, gets on the news and has a bunch of camera crews following him around. And he goes into the restaurant where the guy who had a bowl of was.
Starting point is 00:27:11 He's like, well, I'll go in there. I'm not afraid of a bowl. I'll go into that restaurant and eat. Why? Because I'm a mayor. mayors don't get Ebola i'm superhuman i'll i'll show the citizens of this good city that it's okay to eat in a place where the Ebola guy was that i'll be fine i'm i'm the mayor and it's just so phony you know what i mean it's like okay we get the intention we get you're you're trying to
Starting point is 00:27:42 calm people down you're kind of but you're you're so caked and bullshit if you were just a citizen you go, you know what, there's 12 million restaurants in New York, I'm going to go into the Ebola one, just to show everyone that I'm cool, that I'm down, that I can handle it. Oh, brother, please. Just stop it. You know, you know what you should be doing? You should be setting up some perimeter tape and say, hey, folks, you know what? We don't really know this Ebola thing that well.
Starting point is 00:28:13 It's the first time it's come to America. So to look out for you as your mayor, we're going to put some place. police tape up around this restaurant for two weeks and, you know, maybe the city can compensate the restaurant for its trouble, but this is like ground zero. We're not used to this. Or he could say, you know what, stay away from this restaurant for a few weeks. Just play it safe. Like, isn't that the logical thing to do?
Starting point is 00:28:41 Isn't that what someone with a brain would do? But this politician, well, I'll just walk right in and sit down and have a bowl of soup and a bowl of sandwich now not like he's going to get a bowl it sounds like it you know you got to be in contact with people you got to blah blah blah right but it just irks me how phony these politicians one there's a there's a commercial going in california now about a politician who who is trying to ingratiate himself to the common person by saying you know i'm tired of our politicians flying around in first class. It's about time that politicians sat with the rest of us.
Starting point is 00:29:27 And then they, I swear to God, they cut to a picture of him in economy, not only in an economy seat, but he's in the middle seat surrounded by two people. So not only is the aisle full, but there's a person on each side, and he's sandwiched in there. He's got a blanket on his legs, and he's sitting there smiling at the cameras up to say, vote for me, I'm one of you guys.
Starting point is 00:29:55 And I'm like, no, you're quit pretending, ass. That you like that. Who in the right mind likes to be in the middle seat on an airplane for six hours from New York to California in economy? Sandwich between two people that might be fat, that might have nasal congestion, that might have gas, that might have Ebola. Who knows?
Starting point is 00:30:21 I'm going to vote for you because you're pretending. You like misery? Don't insult me, you idiot. You're such an idiot. It's like, what is wrong with you, man? Yeah, I'm a politician, and you know, I love to sit in that middle seat sandwich between people in economy class.
Starting point is 00:30:44 That's the kind of guy I am. You're so full of crap, dude. The minute you get elected, I'd like to see how long you harp on that one. And by the way, getting elected is a tough job. Being a politician is a tough job. My father was a politician. My father was on the go constantly.
Starting point is 00:31:04 My father was barely ever home. He was so busy at social functions, at meetings, out there mingling with the people, listening to their problems, going to their debates, going to City Hall. I mean, my father was never around. Politicians are busy, busy people. You know what? When they fly, God bless them. Let them have a first-class seat. You've earned it, man. You deserve it. You know, just because you're a public servant, doesn't mean you're not entitled to little perks. It's not an easy job to be a politician. It's time-consuming, and there's a lot of pressure, and there's people pulling you in a million directions, and I can handle the upgrade.
Starting point is 00:31:53 As a taxpayer, I'm okay. Okay, that's not going to kill me to pay a few extra hundred bucks out of everyone in the country's 350 million people. Everyone throws in a third of a penny so that Congressman Jones can sit in first class and maybe take a load. off. And believe me, I'm not trying to stick up for a lot of politicians because a lot of them are pretty low life and sleazy and not all of them, but some of them. And the last thing you want to do is see some weasel in first class. But you know what? Every job you do, whether you're a janitor, whether you're a manager, McDonald's, whether you're a CEO. I don't care what you are. At some point, you get to go up a little notch.
Starting point is 00:32:44 You get little perks. If you're a janitor, maybe they give you a new bucket. Maybe they give you a brand new style of vacuum cleaner. Maybe, who knows, but everyone deserves little upgrades when they work hard. And so I don't mind that. But don't sit around and pretend that you're such a common man that you want common things. Gee, there's some homeless guys. Why don't you go live in a box under the bridge politician?
Starting point is 00:33:17 Why don't you show us what a man of the people you are? Go live under the bridge. Go live in the gang neighborhoods. Go eat garbage out of a dumpster with a homeless guy. You know, there's better ways for you to contribute and make life better for homeless people and people with problems and people with needs, which is what you're supposed to do as a politician,
Starting point is 00:33:43 but don't walk around acting like you want to be a commoner and you're going to go eat where the Ebola is and you're going to sit in the middle seed and it's all just too phony. It's a bunch of posturing. Stop it. Stop it. Now, that got way too serious.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I think maybe we should end on some Ebola humor. Isn't that the way to do it? Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let's end the show with a laugh. And let's continue. on this theme of Ebola well it's good to be here I can't say I'm happy about traveling right now and let me sum it up with this Ebollah stuff. Have you heard about this going around? Ladies and gentlemen, 40,000 people in Africa got the Ebola for crying out loud, huh? You know how you get it? This is what I'm hearing on the news. You get it if you get diarrhea, spit, and vomit on you. What kind of crazy East German scat party are they having over there?
Starting point is 00:35:05 How did those three elements come together at once? Say, Steve, sorry, I got some diarrhea on you there. clean that up. Oh, that smells. Oh, that smells. That should be the early morning system, too. Just put a fucking Swiss guy up on the hill with a fucking pipe. There it is. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Good old Ebola, ladies and gentlemen. So there you go. We ended on a little laugh. Let's wrap it up. We're running a little bit late here.
