#3477 Crappy Hour 7/27: Breakups and Shakeups

**Ronnie Karam** (0:09)
Crappy Hour Well, hello everybody, and welcome to Crappy Hour. I'm Ronnie, and that's Ben, and I've got a window open also playing this, so I'm hearing me double. So Ben, talk for a minute. How you doing, Ben?

**Ben Mandelker** (0:33)
Okay, I'm gonna talk while you deal with your echo issues. I'm doing great, thanks. How are you doing? Hi, good to see everyone here in the chat. Got some funny things to talk about today on Crappy Hour. I'm seeing, even before this even began, we can see the chat on YouTube, and you guys are already cracking me up, and I just have to give a special shout out. Where are you? Kate, you're in an existential battle with your wireless printer, because it refuses to acknowledge that it exists on your Wi-Fi. I get that.
I'm so sorry that you're going through that. That's one of the most frustrating things someone could go through. So we are here to help you out of this tech-involved situation. What's going on with you, Ronnie?

**Ronnie Karam** (1:17)
Well, I'm on Coyote Watch. Let me see who asked. Aaron just asked, is the coyote still stalking me every day? It's here every single day. I've got it on camera. It's like three times a day now. It goes out there and it waits where Bueller goes out. I've got everything over here. I've got wolf pee. I've got silverware in a cup that I shake. I've got mace. I've got a BB gun, a Glock that I shoot.
I haven't actually been able, because once I get close enough, it runs the hell away for me. Which I don't blame. It's not a real gun. So everybody calm down.

**Ben Mandelker** (1:49)
Clarify that it's not a real Glock.

**Ronnie Karam** (1:51)
It's a BB gun Glock. I could not be trusted with a real gun because I have a temper, but also because I'm just too clumsy. I mean, I've almost shown myself with this BB gun. It's heavy as hell. I guess it's supposed to be like a real Glock, so it's really heavy. And I'm trying to put it in my sweatpants. So my sweatpants are falling down. And then I'm walking around with it outside my sweatpants. And now if the neighbors ever see me, they're gonna think I'm walking around with a pistol. So I probably should get rid of that.
I got a coyote vest for Bueller.
That's too big, so I'm getting a different one. What else? I got a trap put out there. That didn't work. The coyotes are too smart. They literally look at it and just walk around it and look back at me and like flip up their middle paw. And they're like, fuck you, stupid.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:36)
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:40)
That's where I'm at. Still out there. Can't get rid of them.

**Ben Mandelker** (2:43)
It's really, it's so frustrating. They look squatters. They're like Airbnb squatters.
You were gone for what, about eight weeks? And then they moved right in and they were like, this is ours now. It's tough.

**Ronnie Karam** (2:55)
They came, you know, it's like squatters who want to eat your dog. I wouldn't mind the coyotes if they weren't trying to eat my dog. The problem is they're eating my child's. Okay. This is my child.
How dare you come for my child. If you ever come for me or my pewler.

**Ben Mandelker** (3:13)
Just need to, what you need to do is you need to do a humane trapping where it goes into a trap like a cage, and then you transport it to a different part of the city, a different forest where it'll thrive, and you let it go there, and then you go home. That way it's still alive. It just has been relocated.

**Ronnie Karam** (3:35)
Yeah. I like that. Doha is saying, mountain lions too, but we are on their land, so we're the squatters. I totally get that. I'm not saying murder the coyote. I just don't want to eating my dog, and also I pay the mortgage. So tell me when that coyote starts paying the mortgage, and we can all do it. Because normally, every animal, I'm like, you're so cute, until the Bieler murder.
That's a no-go for me, sorry. I have a neighborhood, it's not an app, but I'm on a WhatsApp thread with all the neighbors, so we can update each other. And it's kind of what you think, it's people like, hey, someone was speeding up the street, we better get him, what's their license plate? It's a lot of stuff like that. But this is the first time I've ever written it. And I was like, hey, my dog just got attacked by a coyote, what do I do as a first day?
