1:00For living in a distance between We never come across the questions that make this family For living in a distance between We never come across the questions that make this family Hello, this is Mark And you're listening to one of the croft cast tonight I have coming on to the show for the very first time ever Chloe, how you doing? Chloe? Good, Mark, how are you? I'm doing alright here tonight Talking about a great episode Yeah, I'm excited Now you're in Northeastern or like me over there in Pennsylvania Yeah, yeah, that's like Central Pennsylvania And so you're Central, are you? So whenever I go to Pennsylvania, I really head to the Amish areas Are you anywhere near there? Yeah, I'm about 45 minutes from there

2:01Okay And yeah, I love that area And you know, it's one of those kind of just really picturesque areas Yeah, I like Lancaster, that's probably While not my favorite area, it's definitely probably top three And you're a big fan of this silly show, Little House, in a hurry, right? Yeah, I've been watching it since I was like two, three years old So I know it pretty well Awesome What episode are we talking about tonight? We are talking about the backtoon season two Yeah, and it's spelled incorrectly here And it's spelled incorrectly I wonder if anyone got in trouble for that Yeah, because when the show's, when the episode begins I'll bring it up there It's like so The record spelled wrong

3:01Yeah, I did read that when I was doing some research on this episode I was like, oh, it's spelled wrong, that's nice It's like my letter is T There was something that there was like two ways of spelling it There was like the American way of spelling it And then I don't buy that I'm not buying that for one second That's a 100% typo in my opinion Probably, most likely, they probably didn't know about that You're not getting out of this one with saying it's like girl Oh, that's the old English way of spelling raccoon Come on, come on So, let's see, we're starting in the front of the little house Where Mary's playing fetch with Jack And, you know, they're just kind of playing They're doing their thing We don't see this too often Where they're just kind of playing Just being like normal kids

4:02I was just going to play cake party with Janet You can play afterwards All right, I guess Janet won't mind It's weird because it's really not in line with little house I mean, I don't think she had a doll named Janet I know she had a black Susan I don't know what age I also think black Susan was given to carry at some point in the books About 100% sure Somebody out there I'm not gonna cover the books Is it like the big ones or something Law is holding a doll But it wasn't that kind of doll It looks like that kind of doll is more like a china doll Or some sort of breakable doll Whereas the dolls that she's pictured with in the books Is more like fabric made dolls Sure, yeah Good, cause I need practice You sure look scrumptious Yeah You wait right there

5:02You wait right there You wait right there So they're doing their little back and forth I'll be the play Mary throws like a girl Oddly enough So um Mary throws the ball harder than anyone could have expected And Laura starts going back, back, back to try to catch it And her dolls broke in Totally a lawsuit Yeah, she's here right there I hope she doesn't cut herself on those porcelain shards Oh yeah Yeah, it's very sad Like she's very upset Of course Like you know, this is her pride and joy right here I'm so excited I'm so excited Yeah, they're definitely not cheap I'm sorry This is my fault Laura I threw the ball I threw the ball Funny the ball didn't hit the doll though

6:03That would be Laura hidden the doll So they tried to put together the doll And they can't really So it never goes back Really the way you're supposed to Charles has this super glue out Yeah The doll we've never seen before And we'll never see again Yeah, it's true And she's going to be just as unhappy tomorrow There's no way I'm going to be able to put this thing together The big pieces are easy But some of them are just a small pieces of dust Maryfew's just as bad She threw the ball I think it'll be interesting if Charles does I'll just carve her a new face And it'll just be like this weird wood face It was some plastic surgery Yeah It was just an accident Charles Do you think we could afford to I'm sorry Carolyn I can't

7:03It's the winner money there's never enough So it's weird I know I know it's important to the kid And to make her happy But at the same time I have to wonder Yeah, it's just not a good use of money And to consider it is Strange to me Yeah But we get we get a close-up of a catalog In just a moment And you were mentioning you have one of these Reprints? Is it a reprint? Maybe you have an original I believe it's a reprint I don't think it's an original It was from 1899 So it's a little after this But the prices are definitely cheaper than today Well yeah And it's very interesting I love those reprints I have a few different ones But I have a Montgomery Ward one I want to say to 1896 And it's so interesting The things you could buy Or just I mean of course

8:04Rifles and ammunition And strange medicines Like the snake oil stuff With a lot of morphine in it And just a really really wild thing And I do recommend people grab one And I think they're fun to look through And I think kids also get kind of a kick out of it Yeah I mean my grandma sent mine I don't know where she found it But she sent it to us Because she thought I would like it And I spent hours looking at it And looking at every individual thing And being like oh my gosh Imagine if that was the price today Well I mean just for inflation You know I'm sure that the prices are similar But I just I look at it as you know I'm able to just order wagons You know like if I want to And I guess we can do that in a lot of ways nowadays I mean we can completely go in Amazon And purchase Nearly anything

9:04I mean you could order a car online as well And just have to deliver to your house So we do live in a world Where all of that kind of exists But to have a catalog That represents so much I mean we're talking You know everything from like Wedding supplies to medicine To you know guns And you know bear traps And all types of really wild stuff Yeah I've seen medicine in there That like cured things That like aren't even Curable Like it's not like a disease Or like a sickness that You could just take And poke and for and get over Like some of it was like Seasures or Some other weird thing And it's just like I don't think that's going to cure that What's interesting I find is also The medicines I saw Do touch upon Medicines for people

10:04Who are heavy smokers Who they develop Of course coughs and cancers and stuff And you know it's interesting when people say Well no one knew that it was bad for you It's like that's interesting Because a hundred And you know I have a catalog That's 130 years old And it's basically trying to treat These ailments from smoking So yeah it's like I got a catalog This is otherwise Right and I don't think we can really Now granted that was likely Vodka You know like it was just But it was still trying to cure Something that was A problem I even saw like Like booze for babies Like when people used to feed The babies booze to get them to go to sleep That's a good thing Has a parent No Well I was a baby I know for a fact like I would get like

11:04Maybe whiskey rubbed on my gums Like it was you know the 70s I don't really know what I don't think You know a finger You know wetting your finger With whiskey is really Going to make a baby Drunk But I'm not really sure what it would I don't know if there's a numbing agent In whiskey a month I think that only works if you ingest it If you drink some of that whiskey So here's the catalog That's a creepy thing That's a creepy thing Here we go So yeah, here we have a metal head And as we see like It's 50 cents which is probably about $7 Now Adjusted for inflation So if you're really broke I guess you know Absolutely you're not going to have the money for that But it is metal Yes I can order one

12:05But they ask a side of money How much? With movable eyes That's the best grade $1.20 What? That's like 29 bucks Wow Do you have any ones that are a little defective Like has one eye that kind of like Triple blanks Do they have one for 11 cents 59 and 69 That's the cheapest Cash on the barrel No, I'm sorry I couldn't help Thank you Mr. Olsen Come back when you grow up To the real world Mary Of course I have a coin jar that I save up all my extra coins And I just counted it today And I only have like five bucks in there That's good And saving it since 2020 What? You could not have been Putting too much change in that

13:05Yeah, I maybe like penny here and there Like when I get changed back When I pay for things in cash And I'll get like a dime back I'll just slow it in there And yeah, so I started that back in 2020 And five years later I only have like 50 bucks Not even I have this like issue with change I kind of detest it Commuting from Manhattan I commuted from Manhattan for like 12 years And every day I'd come home with change And I'm like oh I don't want this change And so I started doing what a lot of people do And you just kind of start You have like one of these old water bottles I just started throwing it in there every day And I did cash that in one day Like I was moving And I thought well I'm not gonna bring this I'm like how much it's probably $100 So I went and Did a thing where The machine counted And it was like I think it was like about $820 It was like in sales

14:05Yeah, I was like That's crazy A decade's worth of change That's crazy That was funny, very noisy You feel you know when you Bringing it to the machine Everybody's looking and you're like And I probably was pretty pretty Look at that time But nevertheless I didn't want to Bring An 80 pound jar of What appeared to be pennies With me to my new apartment Yeah So yeah, so Nellis is like Get out of my store before Like I thought yeah I'm the way home Mary discovers a baby raccoon Are you doing way out here Stop that Actually Jack discovers the raccoon Sorry Jack stop it If you flush another skunk Another skunk

15:05You have to imagine Jack gets into some scraps With some animals, right? Literally I mean he's an outdoor dog for the most part So I can imagine him Getting into some stuff Right So we see a little raccoon Poor little baby Oh I hate raccoons Do you like raccoons? You probably get them I'm sure you can try them up there I mean I'm not my favorite animal But I don't mind them Actually ever since I watch this episode As a kid, every single raccoon from that on I just called Jasper I really Here on the island we get Raccoons And possum Squirrels And it's just like I don't like them I don't like them at all And possums kind of creep me out Because possums If you were to put a fairy tale On a possum

16:05They would actually look kind of cute Because they kind of waddle When they run And they're very slow But they have like a rat's tail And it's so nasty to look at possums are ugly Yeah So she goes to pet the wild animal Because you know that's smart I've never pet a raccoon I love Jack Jack is like my favorite Dog on Little House For the series Do you prefer Bandit or Jack I don't know Jack was the real dog in the books And in real life And he was the OG dog But he was a bulldog in the books Yeah This type of dog Yeah, I don't know why they changed the bleed of dog Guess maybe it's easier to work with I don't know I like Jack

17:05Jack There's a boat You know Jack Oh whoops That's basically what Oh it's a nice It's a nice little fella That would scare And scare me to hold that animal With his little hands His little hands God, I hate them so much Their hands are so awkward They're too human They have it I brought it home just for you But I'll share it and I promise I was kind of like thinking Like it probably has like Lies Just like he's getting out Get it out It's a little kid bringing an animal from the outside Right Do you want a petty candy? No, I can't Get away from it Give me like Really The best thing I ever had

18:07I'm going to put a big ribbon on his neck Anyway, so Caroline's like Well, this is fun Now clean up after him And I even have a name for him I'll call him Jasper Please mom We'll see What's really great is that Caroline knows That Charles is going to be like Oh no, with that Let me think Do you want to have eggs? No, get this thing out of here Yeah Yeah, it's just It's a bad idea The Charles comes home With what was once a smile Hi Pa Did you get the racco? Mary gave him to me Let's bring Let's have more questions here Go on to the bus I found him out in the woods Where he belongs I'm going to make a pet out of it

19:07I'm sorry I asked I said, wouldn't work I gave it to her, Pa So she wouldn't miss her doll so much She just wouldn't work The animal's not a kitten or a puppy The dog he's wild That's right He's wild Put him out Get rid of him And Um But it's weird that Caroline is kind of like Well, maybe we can reconsider a little Like she's kind of pushing him to reconsider So Well, it's just that Laura's been missing her doll so much All right Can't have my women thinking I'm the meanest man in Minnesota But she's only going to keep for a little while I don't know who would have a raccoon as a pet It really Is amazing to me

20:09All right, you can keep the raccoon Hey, baby Is that your fur? It's going to be my pet And a hold on, is that going to be a pet He's just going to tend to him until he's big enough take care of himself And that's going to be a lot sooner than you think Let's take Jasper up to our room Laura Hold on, he's not going in the house Well, Jack goes in the house Well, I think Jack's a little bit different. He's going to stay in the barn You like him, don't you, Pa? Oh, boy And you like him even more? Who grow on you? Wait and see Oh, he's going to grow, let's be sure And I want you to put him out in the barn So at least Charles is compromising I don't like this compromise Laura's But she loves her pet So let's see Take Jasper to school for show and tell on a leash Which I would think would be a very bad idea for a variety of reasons I would imagine that A raccoon might break its own neck

21:10If you put like a collar or a rope around its neck Kind of the way Yeah, like a harness would be better Like if you were to put a cat on leash The cat would freak out Oh, yeah, definitely, my cat would Yeah, like it would get himself a baby now You know, it would freak out and jump off the walls Uh, let's see Miss Beetle You know, slipping through the cracks, everybody slips through the cracks Um, in Miss Beetle's class So she's like, of course she can never raccoon To dangerous pet, maybe they'll scratch somebody and kill them But can anyone tell me what they eat? People Fruit Bugs Fish So they're having like just a fine old time Um, everything seems fine with Jasper, you know

22:10It really does Um, what's next here Um, let's see, right before church We're gonna give a little bit of a visit to Jasper and the barn Sorry Jasper This is kind of a famous little scene that everybody really enjoys We can't go with you today They don't allow raccoons in church If you hide your eyes, it'll give you an ache Hide your eyes Good boy Oh boy Oh You hear Carrie in the background Someone's trying to kill me Uh-huh Let's see, off to church Like a Jack He's crying So Jasper waits no time getting out Yeah

23:14You know, they have a real raccoon chase in those chickens Yeah, this is Yeah Those poor hands Jack's like, don't do it Don't do it I'll see, so Jasper pops into the house, pretty visual And the ingles come home And they're like, what's that smell? And they go into the house All right, that's it That raccoon is gonna go Let me take a walk So Charles, of course, Charles has to make the hard decision to get rid of the raccoon Right? I mean, come on Yeah, and flings the baby at Caroline Really? I didn't catch that Yeah, it's like me too Let me see

24:14All right, that's it That raccoon has got Take this Take this, she's just like Tell her to tell me She's holding the Bible too This is kind of a funny shot Of, um, of Laura She's lecturing the raccoon And it's really cute for the moment But Pa's coming and he's like, this isn't Sorry, half-pine, but this has got to He's got to go, I'm going to Go and get Married out To the woods Here we go, Jasper Here we go, Jasper Back in the old woods Back in the old woods I think of, I forget the episode where the old man was drowning the puppies And they saved the puppies Oh yeah, I remember that episode I don't remember what episode that was But that's what I think of

25:14When you have a living thing and a sack, it's terrible Yeah Come on I don't believe Pa would be the type to drown An animal Love with it Love with you Charles is going to make this a very long trip So when he gets home, everything is already cleaned up So yeah, he goes out Laura's like giving a little bit of her own little lecture Oh, I'm sorry Yeah, he comes back But he's back He's way back She's so dopey Laura's like

26:16It's a pretty visual thing He's just, Charles is just kind of frustrated He's just getting back from dumping the raccoon out into the wilderness He's just getting back from dumping the raccoon out into the wilderness Why He got lots of mouth there Pa He didn't know anyone I'm the only mommy he's got So he's frustrated, you know Have you ever had a pet that was a little bit difficult at first I mean, my first pet ever was a fish He wasn't that difficult And then my second pet was a fish He died like a week later Right Not a lot of luck with fish here Well, actually my first fish lived like 10 years and I'm even kidding you Maybe not that long but like it lived a long time I got him I want him out of fear At a carnival doing that wingtoss And I

27:16Ended up My mom thought he was just going to live, you know, week to weeks Typical links Length of that kind of fish But he ended up living till I was in late elementary school He lived in a long time And then the second fish I got I won the same way And then he died like a week later That's a normal fish life What about a pet without gills I have a cat But no problems when you got the cat No, she was a stray that Kind of just adopted us honestly Nice And has been living here ever since We found it in like 2013 2012-2013 So she's been with us for a long time What's your cat's name I call it kitty kitty That's her name Actually naming her

28:16So we just named it pretty kitty I think it's a good name It'll work So we're back We have this like crazy cage I don't know who made this cage With a lot of details It's basically a lot of twigs Rope together Something Charles would do Lizard or something It's like, I don't have anything to do Like build a cage Jack be quiet Don't pull that So Jack is like barking At the raccoon And it's like agitating the raccoon a bit Ah And that always gets me Whenever the thing bites her So Laura's putting food in for Jasper And Jasper just kind of snaps at her He bit me Oh, let me see And the raccoon escapes Which is weird because you think the raccoon would Grab the food But we're just not

29:22So Jack is like bugging out This is basically how my dog is when Anything happens Like another animal comes into the house Okay So they're having like a little uh A fight and uh, Jack gets bitten It's very sad These little pockets bitten And Jack's like, I didn't sign up for this I told him not to put that raccoon into the house It's just a little nap Like it gave me Cage Whoops, sorry Jasper turned wild Jasper didn't turn wild He was just upset as all Being caged And Jack barking at him Trying to make him fight Well He's gone now So they discuss the bites And um, Laura's basically begging Mary not to tell Pa About the bites which is a really stupid thing

30:22Knowing They must know about rabies And it's just one of these Strange decisions that they've made But over time these two make packs Um, and even though they They're not in line with Their kind of character Um, I guess it is There's like, you know, this to be kids I'm back I know you will Mary, please But Um All right Mary's such a sucker Thanks Mary I'll just tell Pa That I open the cage And Jasper ran off And that's the truth Bye So it takes about two minutes in a little house in a prairie world Time for um, Mary to basically rat out The uh, problem Tell his fault Jasper's gone

31:24Wasn't Jasper? Jasper beat him Mary English, you promised not to tell And hold on a minute, what's this all about? When that happened When Jasper ran off I'm going to tell you Laura Engels, Jasper was lucky Now a raccoon like that could tear a dog apart I don't know you feel bad but it's better for everybody It's better for us and it's better for Jasper So There it's unfortunate because they have Um, Jack barking Like really frantically Because the raccoons come back And they're not really sure why Jack is going And again it's very visual but we do have a shirtless Charles for the ladies

32:34And he goes out Again it's a very visual type of thing You see the raccoon in the loft Going to investigate It's music It's crazy It's so synthy So we get like jump scares Second jump scar in a little else in a hurry in this episode It's pretty nuts So the raccoon goes running Everybody's just like really on edge Because we don't know what's going on So my fault I don't want to fit Jasper the eggs

33:36I spoiled him on eggs That's why I came Hey, hold on how it It's not your fault Now you think that's the first raccoon that everyone after chicken Now before this, um, we didn't see it but Charles does kill the raccoon Does he kill the raccoon? I don't understand He basically bludgeoned the raccoon I didn't want to do it, I just didn't have any choice It's all my fault I don't want to fit Jasper the eggs I spoiled him on eggs That's why I came No Hold on how it's It's not your fault Now you think that's the first raccoon that everyone after chicken It's in his nature half point

34:36Nothing he could do about it Nothing you could do about it There's nobody to blame This is so strange to me Because they, you know, they live on a farm Like this doesn't, this, none of this should be really too much of a surprise To these girls That's true though And they should be very aware of Like if a bite happens, you have to really, you know, share that information It's very Very not in line with the way that they really are being raised Now you said you took some notes about this episode I don't want to, you know, monopolize the entire episode if you wanted to discuss something No, no, but Just some Things It was kind of interesting because I found a fun fact about raccoons Says that they're often seen putting their food in water But it's not for cleansing this

35:36It's actually to make it easier to chew And they're smart enough to open locks and doors too They have those little hands I mean, that's Kind of Crazy, right? I mean It is kind of interesting that they can open a door I mean, it takes some level of logic to understand how, you know, that they have to twist it But Yeah, yeah, I mean, they're definitely smart They're not stupid animals They'd be smart to stay away from my house I just don't like them So Charles explains that Jack has to be tied up Because he's been bitten by Um A likely rabid raccoon And it's possible that Jack could be Rabid And at this point, you know, there was really no treatment for rabies And in people, if you had rabies Again, no treatment And

36:36It would be awful And I believe rabies ends up being a bacterial infection, blood infection And it would come with fever And I don't know how I imagine it would be extremely difficult to fight off naturally Yeah, I mean like when When Mary Tells Mom part of the law is thirsty Caroline says it's a sign of rabies That's a sign of rabies It was actually the opposite When a person isn't thirsty That's a sign of rabies It's a hydrophilia Fear of water It's like an irrational fear of water Yeah, yeah, so I found that kind of interesting Yeah, rabies was another thing That growing up in the 70s I thought was going to be a bigger deal when I got older It was like quick sand That's not like water You're going to get bitten by a rabid dog I'm just walking down the street But I don't think I've ever encountered a rabid dog

37:36Yeah, me either Yeah And you're in the middle of nowhere I'm just kidding Not going to know for a while, not for sure So To we do, I don't want you or Or a carrier to go near him, right He's stating it could take up to 80s To monitor Um Let's see Mary finally let's out That Laura was bitten Baba Yeah People get the rabies provide Yeah, that's why I don't want you to go near the dog And watch how he grabs her face Like it's

38:40She's really running out of her sister What about her What about her She's been Laura She says something Why don't you tell me I made a promise So they tie up Laura next to Jack I'm just kidding 80s So we bring her over to Doc Baker Of course Four days ago you say One of the rare times we sell Laura without her pigtails Yeah That's right Well then we better start treatment immediately

39:44One gum drop to be taken internally Thank you And I don't have to take any medicine For a little bite like that No, just rest in bed for a couple of days That's my prescription Dr. Baker's magic formula Charles is like Uh, this isn't gonna end here isn't Now why don't you take these off to your sister Charles is like can I have gum drop Be peace in the family Well I have a chat with your folks I haven't seen him for quite a spell bundle up Thank you doctor Laura is dying Yes, seriously It's like it doesn't I mean, it's He gives him the best intuition that he could possibly give To tell Mrs. Engels How long before we know Watch the dog Hide her for me in a dog Runs its course from start to finish in about eight

40:44Days Thank you patient period for a girl or its ages Anywhere from three weeks to a month So it's pretty awful I mean it's a terrible terrible infection So it's a really just a waiting game So they put Laura in bed Like you could be fine So we're gonna be in a bed A raccoon bites a pretty serious thing First thing happens you start getting these Being black circles around your eyes Then the ears get a whole point in And they stick up like that And you get an awful craving for roggs Hi you're teasing I guess I am Because you don't want me to know That's why Dr. Baker sent me out of his office This is one of those rare moments where Charles

41:44Is willing to Tell Laura The truth And how old is she here you think like eight, nine years old I mean using the hundred you will Be about 1874 which would make Laura about seven But Melissa was ten in real life So probably like I mean Melissa's friend but probably seven or eight There's a heavy thing to you know Have to tell a child like that So I couldn't hear what he said No we just said some things We want to talk over with the dark and so Jasper was sick when he bit Jack That's why he's tied up You're afraid he's gonna get sick There's a chance he might be a little sick Yeah

42:44And me Am I gonna get sick too? I have fun I don't know Michael I'm in turn on those waterworks So I think it's a sweet moment of um you know courageous honesty You know he knows his daughter can handle the truth on some level Yeah Charles is just like oh my god like what is going on in my life Hey here's Jack parking in the background He goes to investigate We get I mean it's a very visual episode um we have Caroline Pranked through the window you know

43:44Shooting through the windows a very Little house move I'm gonna have um the girls are in bed A little um We'll chat Laura What? Do you hate me? I wouldn't blame you if you did Why should I hate you? You're my sister About the worst sister anybody ever had Mary, look what I did I'm the one who brought Jasper home in the first place Remember? But I wanted him And I didn't tell Pa you bitch you when I should have And I did tell Pa after I promised I wouldn't You didn't tell Pa because I asked you not to And that's being good to me Then I broke my promise to you Our promise is a promise you know

44:46You know if I was bitten by a raccoon And I was in Laura's position where it's like you might get sick Oh, she's in really good spirits for it Yeah, I'm surprised I mean it's not Web uses it contagious In the sense that we're cold is But I'm kind of surprised They're letting Mary sleep with her in the sense of Giving Laura some space and time to Let's get recovered Yeah, I mean he did say the incubation period for him is Three weeks to a month But yeah, I agree with you It's I don't think she could just go into convulsions Or something like that but you just never know She might But she really might need that kind of like camaraderie Like you have to have somebody there in case she gets really upset Back in the Back in the barn They have Ma doing some hay And Charles comes up

45:48Oh, come on, it's all right So we have Mary freaking out Because The doctor said it's a song Oh, he's going to be a song Ma Laura's thirsty The doctor said it's a sign It's not a sign The child is just thirsty It's not a sign That's true, right? I'm not going to give her water Did you say water, Miller? I'll fetch some water Not thirsty anymore It's like they're in a panic I mean, of course they're in the panic Now outside of his window He sees Jack Going crazy

46:52I love Jack I wish I had it I just watched a friend of my Well, my son's friend's Dog and that was a Oh God, what was he? A Wheaton Terrier And he looked exactly like Jack And he was Just such a good dog And I have A miniature poodle And it's just kind of weird like the miniature poodles Like about seven pounds And the Wheaton Terrier Was about 70 pounds So But it's interesting is my dog Was just totally bullying Like the big dog was petrified Of my dog It was just very, very interesting So yeah, Charles is like, all right Um, he goes To grab his gun

47:52Which he stores over the fire Which is not a good idea It's a very sad, very visual moment He takes his gun He's loading it And um... It's a very important Member of the family To the viewers as well At this point, I mean, remember, Jack was in the pilot Jack was originally lost In the pilot You know, as viewers We've already gone through so much With Jack And the last thing we're going to do Is see this wonderful dog Get some, you know But some blasting Oh, whoa So Jack's like barking Obviously, Charles is walking forward With his rifle, three tenths moment Here's it or his eyes Jack's like, turn around, dummy

48:52It's a record Yeah, very, very tense He's, um, loading Yeah, he packed the black powder before and I was putting I guess, um, around I'm not really 100% sure how these work How do you shoot a dog that's crying? Oh my god So this is another... The third jump scare coming up Whoops So he takes the gun and he's about to get him And all of a sudden the raccoon shows up And just because he's covering his eyes We can identify this as Jasper, I guess Yeah, that's what

49:52To do that for the eggs So he came back, I guess, for the egg When I was a kid, I assumed that that's why he came back Or because he wanted another egg So him covering his eyes Like Lord trained him to It's almost like, hey, I'm back for another egg And that's how Charles was able to say To know that, oh, yeah That's Jasper, not the other one Right Jasper So Charles is like just, you know, crying tears He's all the whole family now Jasper Jasper He drops the gun, shoots the dog So he goes and he tells everyone to deal There were two raccoons And when they killed the chickens It wasn't Jasper It wasn't Jasper It's Jasper out there, now he's set up and big

50:52It was a pretty exciting ever saw You're all right It's like big It's all right Very sweet The jack's all right That playing jack is just beautiful It's tied up Let's keep him tied up in the barn Just in case I'm going to spoil the barn But I read a plot hole That a doc baker says Law and they have babies after the bite And after it's discovered there were two different raccoons Charles said it was she was going to be fine When an actuality at one end of mattered Because she'd still be in danger Like we got this You know, witch raccoon bitter Like the fact that it's a raccoon Well, yeah, we don't know witch raccoon bit Either one of them Really Why don't you go in on time I wouldn't Want to have a guy

51:52I would do it, you know, just kind of like Lock, you know, make sure she's inside safe I'd probably want to shoot the raccoon away Maybe get rid of them So your runza Pulled on Ty Her wonderful Jack He's like, why are you tying me up? Yeah And give that raccoon There's so many eggs he'd give me nothing I get nothing at all God, I love that dog That's a great dog And that's it There's no chickens Now the chickens are safe We'll assume that the hens are in the hen house Okay That's it Um Yeah, that's it So, um I think it's a cute episode I like the tension

52:52And Do you have any other thoughts about this one? Um, I mean, as a I think as a kid Um, this episode was one of my favorites Mm-hmm Just because of the cute little raccoon Like, like I said earlier, like now It's like every time I see a raccoon I'm like, oh look, it's Jasper That was Jasper Yeah, that's it But yeah, it was kind of interesting Um, of like When I was talking about the plot holes and everything Um, I found that on a website That like gave like mistakes Uh, for episodes and stuff And it was, I mean Not saying it was The most realistic episode But it was a good episode I think it was pretty realistic I mean, um, that they could have been bitten by a raccoon I mean Yeah, yeah For sure
