WEBVTT - MINI: What's in Jack's Roof?

0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>The Christian O'Connor show, Jack House.

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Something living in your roof.

0:00:06.160 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 3>It's in there, it's up there. We hear every night

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 3>as we watch TV.

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.200
<v Speaker 2>Is Sue the Boss. She's determined to get you up

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 2>earlier and into the studio. Sue the bosses up there.

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:16.799
<v Speaker 2>We know it up there, so.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, if it's too she's got scratchy feet, because it's

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.599
<v Speaker 3>something with scratchy feet going scritch, scratch, scratch each night

0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 3>as we're watching TV. I think it might be birds

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 3>because in the daytime I see birds hanging around the

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 3>window near where the scretching is.

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 2>You see hanging around. I mean they're just they're just birds,

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 2>not hanging around.

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 3>They like something about.

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Youths hanging around. That's seven eleven.

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:43.120
<v Speaker 3>They're loitering. The birds are loitering above our windows, loitering

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 3>with intent. Then, when I was a kid, obviously a

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 3>common one is possums in the roof. We had possums

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 3>at Mum and Dad's. And then it could be a

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 3>third thing. I've seen a rat at our house in

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 3>the backyard. Imagine it was a rat or a family

0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 3>of rats living in the roof.

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Rats. Do you think it's right? Don't I mean scratching

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:04.840
<v Speaker 2>the fear of it. Right, doesn't the word rats? Gare you?

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever heard of? No one's going to thank

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 2>me for the saying this, but I'm going to share

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:11.000
<v Speaker 2>it now. Do you know what a king rat is?

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:13.800
<v Speaker 3>It sounds just like a massive rat.

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>The London underground is like, if you've ever been on londonderground,

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 2>you'll see rats everywhere. Okay, because it's the underground. Someone wants.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>When I said, oh, these rats here, one of the

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>underground stuff was telling me about what a thing called

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:24.759
<v Speaker 2>a king rat?

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 3>What like a queen bee?

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 2>God, No, it's worse than that. But when it's the

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:32.479
<v Speaker 2>real subterranean darkness for rats, right, their tails when they're

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>living together, because there's like hundreds of them, their tails

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 2>become entwined and they can't separate. So you can have

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>ten to twelve rats tangled together. What happens is one rat,

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>one rat, king rat will move them all as one.

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 4>That's terrific.

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>When he told me about that, I actually went right,

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 2>you've seen that in a cartoon. No, he told me

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.120
<v Speaker 2>about he's seen king rats.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Wait, so the tail together they.

0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Get entoying because the darkness they're all onto the bitch.

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Hundreds of them. Hundreds of them, right, okay, produce a

0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>real of rat tails tied together. No, you've seen the

0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 2>racking that I want to be. I demand to be

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>not now on the racking, the racking. How often is that?

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I think that's living by roof.

0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Rat King, Seriously, that thing comes down and drags you away.

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing to do. You're up there. We'd have to

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>leave you up there to die. Whyn't a jack boast?

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Did you fire him?

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 3>No, Ratking, they dragged him away because I saw the

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.280
<v Speaker 3>rat at the worst possible time. I've never seen a

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 3>rat before, and.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 2>It's the worst possible time to see it. In the

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 2>afternoon five boss fight, we were.

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>We were having a dinner party, and.

0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 2>You flashed it. Oh, sorry to interrupt this dinner party

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.560
<v Speaker 2>for vring out the fare rat.

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.960
<v Speaker 3>I think my friends outside to show on the lawn

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 3>because we got the lawny.

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Dinner party strings on the lawn.

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 3>Now law.

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>On sets more mint, Julip, Julie just sue the boss

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>in the roof again.

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 3>And then a rat took off across the back fence,

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 3>you know, one side to the other, and all my

0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 3>friends said you've got rats here, so I've got either.

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a good dinner, per I say that bird possum

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>or rat new game. It's a home of the name game.

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>And it's also the show since we came back.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 3>By the way, possible rat, I love it.

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>What do they win?

<v Speaker 3>Gold I want to know how to get rid of them?

<v Speaker 2>And I told you rat King?

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.240

<v Speaker 2>bacon sandwich? They come out for that? Give us a call.

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Christ Connell Shoe podcast.

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Patsy, you must have experiences about this.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 4>We had rats once, Jack and we could smell it.

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 4>All used to crawl around our here. No we could

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 4>smell it. It had obviously died in the roof, and

0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 4>it just progressively got worse over a couple of days.

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 4>And I said, to the love God, you need to

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 4>get up there in that roof and check it out anyway,

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 4>So he opened the manhole and it had very conveniently

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 4>died right near the manhole, so he didn't have to

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:27.920
<v Speaker 4>crawl through the roof. So we went to Bunning's got

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 4>those big black industrial long gloves because we're thinking how

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 4>we're going to pick it up. This thing was massive.

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 4>It was like the size of a small dog, like

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 4>a fox terrier.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:41.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm not it was huge that you got the mega

0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:45.599
<v Speaker 2>dog and now you've got a mega rasage. So anyway

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 2>to get a wheelbarrow, I.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 4>Had to hold the big garbage bag. I couldn't look,

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 4>so I'm down below the ladder not looking. He had

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>the gloves, he got the long you know those barbecue tongs,

0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:59.600
<v Speaker 4>the long ones. Picked it up with that and we

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 4>the barbie ate it when you put it in the bag. Honestly,

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 4>it was like a load of bricks going in the bag.

0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 4>This thing was huge. I think it had babies or something.

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 2>It was massive.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's go into the lines. Linda, birds, possum

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>or rats.

0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Rats for the worst. They're definitely the worst. But Jack,

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 5>I've got this fantastic tip for you from my old

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 5>Scottish neighbor. What you do is, if you've got a cat,

0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 5>or you've got a friend that's got a cat, you

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.160
<v Speaker 5>get their really dirty, smelly, stinky liter and put it

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 5>in a bag and put it in your roof. And

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 5>then the rats or whatever they think, Yeah, they think

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 5>there's a cat up there, and so they go, they

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 5>go away.

0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 2>They have a load of Larry stuff, fresh fresh Larry

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 2>PiZZ tomorrow morning, sprinkle out. There there's a line up

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 2>the sides of that fat cat I've got.

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 3>So all I'm doing, though, is trading the scratching of

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 3>the animal for the smell of cat pete.

0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but once they've gone and then just get rid

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 5>of the cat pe because they're not going to come back.

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 5>They'll go and live somewhere else.

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:06.160
<v Speaker 2>It's a good idea.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.960
<v Speaker 3>It's not a great idea, but if I get desperate,

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:09.599
<v Speaker 3>I will try it.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let me know Larry's letter, dirty yellow letter tomorrow.

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Bringing bag of Larry's stuff in just in case.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm keeping the put it works for me, Linda, Thank

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you very much. Advice. Good morning, bye, Jamie, good morning,

<v Speaker 2>of my roof every morning mating, mating like it used

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.120
<v Speaker 2>to just half of two and they went to four

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and they went to six every morning. It's a quick

0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>old breeding program they're running up there. Well, they're doubling

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 2>each day. Birds don't just multiply.

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 3>That was just it was like a good order on

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.160
<v Speaker 3>the roof every week.

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>And what do you do to get rid of them?

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 2>First of all of them with the hose and then

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 2>call them down? That yeah, that young arder, that young

0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 2>love called it down. You should have called to David

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>Attenbroy could have filmed a series up there.

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I started that start putting fake crows roof that works.

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know. I know you can buy fake house

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Patsy gave me one, but I didn't get a fake

0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>crime did worked?

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 3>And these were in the roof on the roof.

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>On the roof.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you in the roof now moving glass or sheet metal?

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>There?

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 2>What's you up to, Jamie?

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I just did my work then, okay.

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Jamie, have a good day.

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Thank you.

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 2>One final thing, just to help Jack out with some

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>rat facts, I googled interesting rat fats. By the way,

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I also found an article Top fifteen cartoon, Mice and

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Rats ranked Jerry from Tom and Jerry at number four.

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Nowhere for Tom.

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 2>I understand, you know, I couldn't stand that cartoon. I say, kid,

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>did you like Tom?

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 3>But only one of them was a rat?

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 2>No, but of course one's a cat. Take that out

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:04.720
<v Speaker 2>of the podcast. Oh sorry, it was the top fifteen

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 2>cats and mice and rats. Seriously taking out the podcast anyway?

0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that rats can laugh? Oh? Okay, why

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:17.480
<v Speaker 2>would rat facts I'd printed off for this infographic? Rats

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 2>can laugh?

0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 4>What's it sound like?

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't know. I don't know. Pats have not

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 2>studied this, but we need to find out. Can we

0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 2>jump on YouTube here if they've actually got microphones? Apparently?

0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Rats off? What's more terrifying than seeing a rat the

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>night than hearing it in the night and laughing at you?

<v Speaker 1>Christian Christian O'Connell show podcast.

0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 2>We're talking about rats or birds or possums that may

0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 2>or may not be living in Jack's roof, and we

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 2>found out that rats laugh, and this is evidence of that.

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 2>What listened to is a rat being tickled.

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, I'm being tickled. Somebody's gone through four years,

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.720
<v Speaker 3>maybe more are sign University and then got to put

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 3>on the rubber gloves toick's.

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Got one of those big long produs or something. You

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 2>don't want to get too close to a rat like

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.719
<v Speaker 2>a meter stick to give a little nudge right on

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.719
<v Speaker 2>their ribs. Everyone's ticklish. They're even the king rats. Let's

0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>stop it now, scientists.
