29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: seen a squirrel eat a peanut? They can't. You put

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,759
Speaker 1: it in your mouth and then it goes this way

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 1: and talking about squirrels and then they spit it out

32
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: because because the shell so the shell part. Yeah, but

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: they can eat the nut. Let's ask Mark. Mark knows

34
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: more about squirrels. Thus, I've seen so many squirrels try

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: and devour key nut with the shell on and they

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: spit These are hilar do you see this? Okay, what

37
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: you're doing instead of going to the gym, to the

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: park and hey, Alvis, can we have him say squirrel

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: to the squirrels? Sure he'll enjoy that. I know he's

40
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: trying to get on right now, so, oh market peanut,

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: make sure he's on mute. And scary. Mark, we're good s.

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is the coolest thing in the world.

43
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: I'm so glad we're just talking about you. Where's where's Peanut?

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Where's the superstar? So the superstars they're just hanging out.

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: Can you rotate your phone ninety degrees? That Peanuts, he's unlocked.

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll mock it. I had to do my phone

47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: because he's been running around so much. But now that

48
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: like people the camp across his pause, he just hangs out. Well, Mark,

49
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: we so many questions were first of all, uh, how

50
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: did you how did you meet squirrel? A peanut? The squirrel?

51
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: What happened? How did you come to adopt him? It's

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: the saddest story, but like the most magical. Um. I

53
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: work in construction. I'm an engineer in the city and

54
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: I was leaving a job site and I was walking

55
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 1: down the street and I saw this poor squirrel get

56
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: hit by a car um. So I was like a croser.

57
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: I thought the poor squirrel was still alive. Um, But

58
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: it was actually Peanut moving around and unfortunately his mom

59
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: got kicked by a car um So he started to

60
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: move into the street and I kind of chased him

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: out and instead of him running away, he crawled up

62
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: my leg. So I took him home. Um. I tried

63
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: to find a vet. I tried to find anybody to

64
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: come help. Um, everybody wanted to just euthanize them. So

65
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: I took a week off of work. I rehab this

66
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: little man. Um. Eight months later, I put him back outside.

67
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: He got attacked by a cat, lost half of his tail.

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: He came back home the next day, so I opened

69
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: my door into full tiers, full tiers. There he was

70
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: missing half his tail. He ran back inside and the

71
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: rest is history. So we're actually sitting in peanuts room.

72
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: He he has his own room. And oh how long ago?

73
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: Did this happen? About five years ago now, so he's

74
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: almost five this and he knew he was a superstar

75
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: before any of this Instagram and social happened. Um. But

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: because we see here when we cross our paws like

77
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: a normal squirrel would, do you know he's such a gentleman,

78
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: he's so cute. All right, let's open it up for questions.

79
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: Who's a question for Mark and Peanuts? Gandhi, what's going on?

80
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: I have a million? But what? Well? First of all,

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: is Peanut potty trained? How does that work out for

82
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: you guys. His potty trained. He has two litter boxes

83
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: in his room and one downstairs in the living room.

84
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: The funniest thing in the world is to watch what.

85
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: We will sit there and watch football and he'll just

86
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: get off the couch and go do his thing in

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 1: his litter box. If he's tired, he'll go upstairs and

88
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: go to bed. U. Okay, he does something all the time.

89
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: I built him a nest in the closet of this room,

90
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: so he will walk his little book ouch upstairs and

91
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: you could hear him nuzzle himself into the cat into

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: the nest. It's the cutest thing in the world. Oh God, Okay.

93
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: Does he go for outside time? Does he go play

94
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: outside and take walks and stuff? He used to, but

95
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: we're yawning now, excuse me your um. I was that

96
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: that man, you know, bringing a squirrel outside. But eventually

97
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: he just he didn't want it anymore. He ended up

98
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: chewing it off. So now he sits in the window

99
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: with my cat and he kind of silently judges the neighbors.

100
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: Do they get along the cant they're best friends. And

101
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: she's like a fifteen pounds, she's a she's a main

102
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: coon and seeing them sit in the window together is

103
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: the funniest thing in the world. Oh my god, the

104
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: squirrel does paytnut cuttle like. Is Peanut a cuddler. He's

105
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: a huge cuddler. He will sit and watch TV with you.

106
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: Anybody who's come over to visit him, he's a rock star,

107
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: immediately goes like. I've had people travel across the world

108
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: to meet him. It has been the coolest experience in

109
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: the world. Is so wild, Peanut? So you're single, Mark, right? Yes? Okay?

110
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: Now do you use Peanut in order to get people

111
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: to come over to your place? Like, Hey, you wanna

112
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,040

00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: love all of the love and before I get from

116
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: the gay community on the podcast. All right, yeah, hold on, Mark, Mark,

117
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: we're only hearing like every other every other word. I

118
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a WiFi thing going on or

119
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: if it's not. I think it's a zoom mute thing.

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: And so if somebody else makes a noise while he talks,

121
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: cut some money. All right, So we yeah, we have

122

00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: here is Mark. I can still hear you. What happened? Okay, okay,

124
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: back to the love from the gay Community. Oh my god,

125
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: the d m s I get are I can't see

126
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: any of the things on the podcast, but there are

127
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: nothing but loving and supportive. I can say that. But

128
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: as far as the dating scene with him, I kind

129
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: of don't tell anybody about him because you're either the

130
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: coolest person or you're the weirdest um. And most of

131
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: the time you're the weirdest um. But again, Nate, I've

132
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: I've kind of my friends made fun of me, and

133
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: they're always like, you can say, you know, you want

134
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: to come over and see my squirrel and get away

135
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: with it, so they has it, but it also has

136
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if I you know, if women don't work out,

137
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: I have a launcher list of men that I could, uh,

138
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, go ask on a date. I don't, but

139
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: you know what to watch you and Peanut interact with

140
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: each other. I mean it's I know that you're capturing

141
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: moments and we only see like like the moments that

142
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: are like wacky and crazy and a lot of fun.

143
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: But what's the majority of the time with just you

144
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: and Peanut? Is it Peanut at rest or is he

145
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: always running around doing something. It's a little bit of both,

146
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: And honestly, I can't. I want to stop really quick, Elvis.

147
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to date you. But uh, I even

148
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: listening to you since I was in middle school and

149
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: I used to like skip home room just to listen

150
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: to the phone tests and stuff. You guys are amazing.

151
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: I had to throw that out there. It's it's been

152
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Um but yeah, it's it's kind of it's

153
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: a lot funnier off camera because he does a lot

154
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: more funny things. Um. Just it's it's kind of like

155
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: that old cartoon of the frog that sings and then

156
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: you know, the cartoon brings the frog in front of

157
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: everybody and it stops singing type thing. But uh, you know,

158
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: I'll find I'll lose him for a second and an

159
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,359
Speaker 1: open refrigerator and he's kind of just sitting in the refrigerator,

160
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: or like I lose him and he's avocado with my shoe.

161
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: One day, I was going to a meeting. I was

162
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: late put on my dress shoes and there was a

163
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: rape avocado in there. I pushed him there, So those

164
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: little moments really like you want to kill him, but

165
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: you also you know you love him to death. Um.

166
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: When I bought this house, I actually didn't have any

167
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: shades or anything, and he was sitting in the window

168
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: and the neighbor next door ran over and was banging

169
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 1: on my door and she's like, there's a scroll in

170
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: your house, and I just com Ronald's like, oh, let's

171
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: just be nut. I have a question, Scary, what's your

172
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: question from Mark? My questions? Have you told him any

173
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: neat tricks aside from the ones that you just mentioned,

174
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: which is kind of fun. I can get him to

175
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: jump on command, so I can stop my fingers and

176
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: will jump. Also, I can dress him up in anything,

177
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: so I have sparrows, I have Frody's gonna keep me.

178
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: But he's got a Giants jersey, we got Yankees caps. Um,

179
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: hold on, you can't you can't laugh out loud or

180
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 1: we can't hear what he's saying. I'm sorry it's a

181
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: zoom thing, but go ahead, Yeah, you get sports mem

182
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: I have dressed him up, and don't he a devil horns.

183
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: The funniest thing about social media is people will send

184
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: him gifts and costumes and uh, we're just still yawning

185
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: it over here. Man, what do you It's so lazy.

186
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: But people send him so many cool things, and I

187
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: dressed him up and I make these funny videos and

188
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm just so happy that I could share him with people. Um.

189
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: The best thing that has happened with all of this

190
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: is we've been able to you know, we did a

191
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: very big Christmas donation and we gathered toys for kids

192
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: and domestic violence victims and stuff like that. So we've

193
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: been using this for good. A lot of people think

194
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: I'm just like tattooed you know, jerk on the internet

195
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: with a scroll trying to you know, lure women in here,

196
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: but we do a lot of cool and fun things.

197
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: We actually have been able to surprise a bunch of

198
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: kids with him. Um, somebody sent me a big scroll

199
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: costume and I kind of throw that on for for

200
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: kids when when Peena is uh, you know, surprising them.

201
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: So it's been a cool journey on that I've been

202
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, blessed to be able to to share him

203
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: with everybody. So the tricks that you're talking about, is

204
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: he too sleepy to do a job being a little

205
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: I might be able to put your guys down a

206
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: jumping keep too, Bay. Oh you're not gonna do it

207
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: on camera now? Wow? So so easy came here. No,

208
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't think we're getting one today. So I mean, well,

209
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean he can he can jump very far. I

210
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: mean how many can he jump? I would say, you know,

211
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen. Um, kind of our trademark thing. It's

212
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: been him jumping off the refrigerator. So it's been really

213
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: cool to have something like that. Um. I've ended up

214
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: like taking to the ceiling and get him to jump

215
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: through it and stuff, um, stuff like that, Like I

216
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: come up with little designs and things for him to do, um,

217
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: just to keep the uh the social media people happy

218
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: because um, he brings so much joy like this is

219
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: this is him calm collective. He'll he'll sit here and

220
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: you know, snuggle clean your fingers. But Gandhi's very upset

221
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: because you're following Daniel and me and not following her

222
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: on right, what's peanuts beef with me again? I got

223
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: when I saw my phone blow up yesterday and all

224
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: of you were, you know, shouting peanut out and I

225
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: was like, oh my goodness. And then I saw your

226
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: comment about coming the babysit. I'll leave a key outside

227
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: on the mat. Um, come hang out whatever you want. Um. Uh,

228
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: your boyfriend might get a little mad. He might steal you,

229
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: Um could he? Trump? Can Peanut travel to my apartment

230
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: when you're out of town and take care over there? Absolutely,

231
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: I'll get him the harness, get him all ready to go. Right.

232
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: That's a very good point, Mark, when you need to

233
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: get out of town or go do something. Who takes

234
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: care of Peanut? Well? Thankfully, my family lives a town away,

235
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: so they come in and stay in my house and

236
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: they all, uh, you know, everybody loves him. He's so

237
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: suf socialized. Again, I've had so many people, um come

238
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: and meet him. Um. Demilovado reached out a couple of day,

239
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: well reached out. So we had a couple of really

240
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: cool experiences with that. But my family is down the street. Um,

241
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: they're always wanting to come and save my house, sit

242
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: to hang out with you know. Yeah, Brodie, what do

243
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: you have for Mark? Mark? Can you take him on

244
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: the plane as an emotional support squirrel? Or is that

245
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: not allowed? Honestly? You know what, in this day and age,

246
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: it is two Um, I'm sure, I'm sure it could happen. Wow,

247
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: you're just no job, no work, no nothing, We're just

248
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: gonna hang out all day. Well. Look, so we we

249
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: were talking earlier on the air about this universe of

250
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: squirrel lovers and squirrel owners and those who love them,

251
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: and it is like a huge community. Are there, I mean,

252
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: are you friends with a lot of other squirrel enthusiasts. Right,

253
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: it's so weird to say that we have a squirrel community.

254
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 1: I'm honorary squirrel mom. I know every every squirrel part

255
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: is uh, there's a woman in their squirrel um. But

256
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: the funniest thing is Tumbling. I know, y'all just went

257
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: and follow her. I to meet families with squirrels. Unfortunately,

258
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: Peanut and Thumbling are definitely afraid of each other, so

259
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: we could never do a scroll plate. But I've been

260
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: able to meet some squirrel families, and again, it's the

261
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: weirdest thing, but so cool to bring like communities together. Um.

262
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: I would never ever go out and meet people who

263
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: had squirrels. It's pretty crazy, but uh, it's it's really

264
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: cool to be able to, you know, meet new people

265
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: on the internet. I'm always there to help others. Apparently

266
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: everybody finds squirrels these days, because my phone just goes

267
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: on and on about people finding squirrels. Um Ila still

268
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: still find find this hysterical um I peanut on TikTok

269
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: is almost at a million followers, so I always do

270
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: TikTok lives. I asked people to reach out if they

271
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: have squirrels, you know, send me photo if we could

272
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: figure out how old they are. And I was sitting

273
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: in a work meeting and somebody had messaged me like, urgent,

274
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: I have a squirrel. I have a squirrel. Um sent

275
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: me a video. I opened the video in front of

276
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: everybody and it was a naked man with not a squirrel.

277
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry. Hey, So you know that's that that

278
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: really brings up a good question like what I don't

279
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: know if you can answer this, but what should someone

280
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: do if they inter into a relationship with the squirrel

281
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: like you have, I mean, or maybe they find a

282
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: squirrel that's injured or you know something like that, right,

283
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: I usually just redirect them to a local rehab or

284
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: or a vet um. But I'm also always there to

285
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 1: help along the way because I know people just can't,

286
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, up their lives and you know, bring some

287
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: some you know squil to a vet. Um, so always

288
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: have I'm here to you know, hand out tips and

289
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: give some advice. Um. Again, this is not the typical

290
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: behavior of a squirrel, which is the main reason why

291
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: he's inside. Still, UM, I don't think you would survive

292
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: outside for for more than a day. Um, you don't.

293
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: You have zero survival skills and have a tail. So

294
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna gonna make it out. But

295
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I always I was advised to find a local rehab

296
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: or just just to make sure that you know, they

297
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: get the proper nutrition, they get the proper guidance, and uh,

298
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: you know, they're not they're not good pets. They're really

299
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: not good pets. And I strongly advocate that. Um. But

300
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: this this little guy's an exception. Um. But my advice

301
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: used to find that local rehab or find somebody who

302
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: hast of knowledge on on squirrels or wildlife, and uh,

303
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, take that route because I know everybody sees

304
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: a fluffy squirrel and they're like, oh, I can't wait

305
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: to you know, keep it as a pet, and then

306
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: they tear your house apart. So um um, thankfully, I

307
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: was able to train him not to cheat the house,

308
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: but every once in a while if I yell at him,

309
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: and this is why I have like the mean streets

310
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: in New York. Um, he's in New York, squirrel, he

311
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: has the attitude of New York Italiant. Um. If you

312
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: yell at him, he will find your most expensive thing

313
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: in the house and pe on it and watch Black

314
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: Eyes with you while you like. He's on it. So

315
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: New York down to great And I love that You're

316
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: very very honest and saying, look, this is a very

317
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: unusual circumstance. It doesn't mean everyone should run out in

318
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: like trap a squirrel and make the squirrel their pet,

319
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 1: because it will very very very good chance it would

320
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: not end up like this. One more question from Garrett.

321
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: You had a question from Mark. Oh yeah, I'm sorry.

322
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: I was just talking scary about timing. But no, I'm

323
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: super interested in the fact that you know, when you

324
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: meet somebody for the first time and go I have

325
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: a pet squirrel, what their reaction normally is. Again, it

326
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: is like I try to stay away from it because

327
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: we've done interviews with People magazine and BuzzFeed, you name it,

328
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: and I kind of kept my my personal life out

329
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: of it, and um, um People magazine kind of dropped

330
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: my full name and where I lived, so I can't.

331
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: So you know, I get stopped in the middle of

332
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: New York City with the people grabbed me and be like,

333
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: oh my god, you're that guy with a squirrel. I'm

334
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: like no, I'm But again, it's that like you're either

335
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: the coolest or you're the weirdest. And it's kind of

336
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: that hig tilt like wait, you said you have a squirrel,

337
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's kind of like a cat, but yeah,

338
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: it's it's a squirrel. But but again, you meet him

339
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, this really isn't you know, your

340
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: typical swirl. Um. He loves to have breakfast with me.

341
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: I do everything with him. I brush my teeth and

342
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: will be on my shoulder. Um, we walked downstairs. I'll

343
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 1: call him downstairs and we have breakfast together and stuff.

344
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: So it isn't it. It's very unusual, uh you know bond.

345
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: But again, I this is a one in a million squirrel.

346
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: This doesn't happen at all. Um, So I obviously I

347
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: tell everybody to, um, put the squirrel back outside, find it,

348
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: help be They just don't put it in your house.

349
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: They bite hard, they're not good pets. Um, they'll ruin

350
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: your life you keep them inside. So um, that's that.

351
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: That's how I You know, I guess it built the

352
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: following because I'm always like, no squirls, no squirl s, squols.

353
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: But if you're a squirrel, well it's it's very unique situation,

354
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: you know what. And Mark, it's you and Peanut are

355
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: very very lucky to have found each other. And I

356
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 1: think that's that's really cool. I need to do a

357
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,960
