You enjoy it. It's kinda ego trip for you. it's probably not healthy. Okay, thanks for joining us today. it is indeed a good mythical morning. And to clarify, you don't have to watch this in the morning. We just asked you watch it every day at some point. to make this a habit. - But it's always morning.. - An addiction. - It's always morning somewhere.

That's how the world works 'cause the rotation of the world, you know that? - I said addiction and I just froze on it. just to emphasize it. And then I wasn't even listening to what you were saying. - Well, I've got something I wanna talk about. but I know that you've got a little something. you wanna talk about, so. - Well, I wanna issue a.. - I'm still shaken up about what happened to me. So I'm just. - Actually, I'm a little shaken up. with what happened to me too. - Really? We're both shaken up. - Well, I kinda have adrenaline actually. What I wanted to do is I wanted to issue an apology, to you Rhett in front of. today's audience.

Just for being a little bit late. I appreciate you not saying anything about it. but I said I was gonna be here at X time. and I was here at X time plus. - Why - 14 minutes. And the reason was, it was a great reason. I. - Did you rescue somebody from a traffic jam again? - I had to save, you guessed it. I had to save someone - Else. - I saved the life of another stranded passenger. on the busiest part of the freeway. in the continent of United States.

Probably uncontinental. - This is becoming like a thing for you. - where 101 and the 405 come together. I go on the 101 overpass over the busiest thing. in terms of traffic everywhere. And you have to drive on it, Jason, every morning the 405. And low and behold, right in front of me, this Jaguar just comes to a sputtering halt. You just can't do that. - You mean there's a Jaguar on the highway? - There is a sputtering Jaguar. and there was a little old lady, inside the sputtering Jaguar. - Did it eat her? I didn't know they were native.

I knew there was mountain lions around here. - And so, there was this vintage like 1950s Bellaire car. - That was really stupid. That was a really corny joke that I made, I'm just gonna apologize for that. - About the Jaguar? - Yeah. - I went with it, so. it's okay. And then, so he pulls over. and he's getting out of his car and going back. She's in the far right lane but she has stopped in the lane. - Little old lady. - And. I mean, immediately. traffic is backing up. - How old? - She's probably 70. - Really? - Traffic is immediately backing up for literally. days.

That's how this stuff works. - Yeah. Right. - One guy pulled over and I'm like, 'oh gosh Link to the rescue again. this guy's not gonna be able to handle this on his own.'. I have experience if you watch the. previous episode of me being the hero. So I'm kind of, 'okay, here I go again.'. I pull over on the shoulder. and I just start walking back there. - You should wear a Cape. - I should at least have my own. 800 number for roadside assistance. I've become an expert at this. And I go back there.

me and the guy just pushed the Jaguar off of the road there, and the little old lady she's on her phone the whole time. And so we start pushing. He's like, 'man I didn't realize this old Jaguar. was so heavy.'. And I was like, 'I think that she's applying the break.'. She was applying the break the whole time. that we were trying to push her. off of the road. - She's being cautious. - I had so much adrenaline though that it was, I almost. you know, I could have pushed her over the overpass. It was just the rush of being a hero is amazing. I love it.

I just look for people who are about to, 'oh, is this person going slow or are they sputtering?'. Because I can pull over and push 'em, baby. I'm good at that. - You really should have an outfit. that you wear underneath your own clothes. - Just have it in the back. Like. totally orange. - Well, it should be like coveralls. that are underneath your clothes. 'Cause then you'd look like a AAA guy. - Underalls? - It should be underalls that are actually overalls. - Orange underalls. - Okay, if you wanna send. me some orange underalls. I wear 31 inch waist, 32 inch pants,

kind of small shirt. - Well, I'm happy that you've had a good experience. in the past 24 hours, because. I've had a bad experience. - Let me have it. balance it. - First of all, not only did you get here late. today. you left early yesterday. - Yeah. I had a headache. It happens to the best of us. - And. you left early and then. so right after you left, I quit work. (laughter). No, I worked for a while and.

but then I come into the house getting ready to eat dinner. and. Jesse's like, 'could you take the recycling out?'. And so I, take the recycling bin. and the.. - This is really exciting so far. - The recycling bin is out on the street. 'cause for this morning, so I take it. and I'm going out there and dumping the recycling. And I see a woman, now I'm out there on the street. So I can see all the way to my front yard. up there on the corner, the intersection. And there's a woman walking, three little dogs.

which is something you see a lot in Los Angeles. A person walking, multiple little dogs together. Like a little herd of dogs, I think it's called a pack. She says, 'excuse me.'. And immediately I think I'm doing something wrong. 'Oh, did I put it in the wrong bin?'. Like, that's what I'm thinking. She said, 'excuse me, did you see what was in your front yard?'. And I was like, what is this woman talking about? I don't have to keep anything in my front yard.

I hardly ever go to my front yard. What do you mean is in my front yard? And she's like, she points in the middle of my front yard. which I can't see because. I'm on the side of the house. And I'm like. I have no idea what this woman could be talking about. And I walk up there to the front yard. and I hate to laugh. but I look in the middle of the yard. and there is. half. of a cat. What? Ugh! What?

- I took a picture of it but I'm not gonna show it. because I feel like that would be inappropriate. So just picture this. It's about to get a little graphic. - Which half are we talking about? - The back half. - Oh gosh! - It was the back half of a cat. - What? - And then. part of the intestine. was out like four feet away from the cat. And then I go out there and of course. now here I am, there's a woman with a pack of dogs,

me with my half cat in the front yard. - So you turn to the woman and you're like, 'what did you do, woman?'. - And at that point I'm like. is this woman gonna think that. I'm doing some kind of animal sacrifice in my front yard. And I've been caught? But I'm out there, I'm in this public place. We got a pretty major road right here. So I'm just, I'm beginning to panic a little bit. And I'm like, then I'm trying to figure it out. And so I'm like, okay, I'm gonna take care of this. I don't know where this is from. And she's like,

'looks like a coyote might have gotten hold of it.'. - Oh yeah. - And then I'm like, - It's possible, really. - It is, but I'm just like, I'm kind of playing CSI here. CCSI, cat crime scene investigator. - Okay. - And. I'm like. the gardener, the guy who. cuts the yard. - Oh no. - No, he was just here just a second ago. He cut the grass at like 4:30. and here it is like six o'clock. and now I see this thing. I don't think that the thing got up into the lawnmower.

'cause he would've told me. he's not that kind of guy and he would've cleaned it up. - He might have. - No, he would've cleaned it up. So I don't think it was a coyote 'cause. we would've heard this, we would've seen it. And it was literally, it was just the back half. There was no blood, it was just the back half. and then the intestine. - Ugh! What do you do? - Well, so first of all, I think that it was roadkill. I mean I'm right here next to this major street. There's all these stray cats that are always around. And I think that it got hit. and either, it got hit and somebody took it and.

threw it into the yard, which doesn't make any sense. Or it got hit and the car was going at such a speed that it. tossed the back half of the cat into the front yard. - Oh gosh, did you find the front half? - No, I didn't look for it. - You didn't look for it? - No, I'm not interested in finding the front half. The back half was nasty enough. - Gosh. - But then I'm like, well this is my responsibility now, I gotta dispose of the body. And I'm not gonna do some breaking bad type thing. where I like put it in acid. So I'm like, 'I gotta clean this up.'. And the woman's like.

'Well you should probably like use a shovel or something.'. - She's still there at this point? She's like helping you brainstorm? - Her and her little dogs, her little dogs are like. they want to get at it. - Oh no. - Yeah, we can't have that. This isn't the post apocalyptic time. - So. - What did you do? - I realized that the only shovel I have. is a little kid's shovel. (laughs). - Like a plastic shovel? - It's like a little, two foot shovel that my kids play with. - Never pick up the back half of a cat with a flimsy shovel.

That is not.. It was not flimsy, it's actually made outta wood. and it has a, like a paint. but it's like, obviously kids, it's like turquoise. And so I take my little two foot turquoise shovel. onto the front yard with a plastic bag. And I grab the back half and pull it up and put it in there. But then, this is so nasty I can't believe I'm talking about it. Then I got four foot of intestine. that I've got to get into the bag. - I hope you're not eating breakfast. - I am not that queasy, but I'm having a tough time with this. And I get it in the bag. And then I just like take the bag.

and the trash was going out today. So I just dropped it into. the trash with the bag, close it. And then I take the shovel and I. pour some bleach into a bucket. and I stick the bucket. I'm bleaching the thing, you know, it's in the bucket out there, has been. all night. But then I'm like. 'well I gotta go eat dinner now.'. (laughter). - So, I go inside and Jesse's like, I heated up some of those stuffed mushrooms. from Trader Joe's, 'cause it's like,

- You know the ones that looked like the. back half of a cat? - And there was like. stuffed mushrooms and cabbage on the plate. That's like very like a no meat meal, just like real simple. - Okay. - And I sit there and I sit down. I put some sriracha on the mushrooms 'cause I like that, rooster sauce. And I pick up one of those things, I put it in my mouth. and I immediately want the vomit. And I start chewing it and all I can think about, is cat. - Oh! - And I run to the trash can throw it. and not throw it up, I spit it out. And I wait 15 minutes and I try another one.

Same thing happens, I cannot swallow it. And I didn't think I was queasy. And I'm not even really thinking about the cat. It turns out the only thing that I could eat. was. she bought this huge. chocolate bar, dark chocolate bar. like the huge ones from Trader Joe's, like a couple of pounds. - Okay. - Shaped like the back half of a cat. - No, all I could eat was that and peanut butter. - Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah that's the cure. That'll take any sort of.. - But this may have ruined stuffed mushrooms for me. - Oh yeah, you're right.

- I'm gonna think about that. back half of that cat. But I still don't know what happened, it's a mystery. - That is heinous, man. You need to go and look for. the front half of the cat because. - What am I gonna do with it? - You, you could be attracting coyotes, out there. Speaking of which. I call 'em coyotes and I call 'em Jaguars, not Jaguars. So for those of you who have already left comments. about how I say Jaguar funny, say Jaguar, stuff it. - But the people who work for Jaguar will say Jaguar.

The people aint over it. - So I was saying it right? - Yeah. The British people will actually say Jaguar. - Oh, okay. - I go both ways when it comes to Jaguar pronunciation. - Link is moving into the studio. - Okay. I got a. Hey man, I'm back. Thanks for waiting I'm. coming in here I got, it's my first day living here. - What's in the trash can? - All my stuff. I pack things in trash can. and then when I unpack it,

boom, I got a trash can. - Hey, I'm gonna tell you. I found the back half of a cat in the front yard. I've been looking for the front half of it. - Yeah. It's in here too. I'm moving in with it, it's my pet. Wife and kids are moving in too. Is that cool? (bouncy music).
