FunTranscript
00:00And I'm holding a Hillsborough County, Florida, courtesy notice from the Hillsborough County Animal Control, and this is a barking dog courtesy notice that Froggy got.
00:15Anonymously, of course.
00:17You meanie.
00:18Hey, cool.
00:19Can you do a little better on the dog barking sound effect?
00:21That's like a...
00:22That's like a wolf.
00:23It's like just a neighborhood in the distance barking noise.
00:26Can you give me like a more direct, like in-your-face, like barking noise for a dog?
00:31Is that possible?
00:31Yes.
00:32I will say I got this from your hard drive, so just saying.
00:36Hey, we don't take excuses around here, Coop.
00:38Just make it better.
00:39Wow.
00:39Was this left in your mailbox or was this mailed to you?
00:43It was in my mailbox with the rest of my mail.
00:46I don't know.
00:46It was in a letter.
00:47Yeah, it was in an envelope.
00:48That's what I'm trying to ask you.
00:49Was it just left in your mailbox or was it actually mailed to you?
00:53Oh, yeah.
00:54My chick opened it.
00:55It was mailed.
00:56Yes.
00:56Okay.
00:56All right.
00:57Does it require that you make any appearances because you look like you got a nice haircut
01:00ready to go make an appearance somewhere?
01:01I'm not making no appearance.
01:02I'm going to kick the guy's ass who did it is what I'm going to do.
01:04$15,000 fine demand.
01:06What?
01:06No, no.
01:06I didn't see that part.
01:07No, I'm kidding.
01:08I'm joking.
01:09Yeah, what are they going to do if it doesn't stop?
01:11They're going to come take my dog?
01:13Froggy's address is on here.
01:15Wait a minute.
01:16Date and time, activity.
01:18There's some kind of case number.
01:19It says, pet owner, this department has received an anonymous, anonymous is in all caps.
01:26Yeah, anonymous.
01:27All capitalization.
01:29And a winky face after it.
01:30I think I might know who it is.
01:31No, there's no winky face, but it's all caps.
01:34This department has received an anonymous complaint concerning your pet or pets who may be in violation
01:40of a county ordinance regulating pets.
01:42This notice only serves as a notification warning in regards to the alleged violations
01:48mentioned below.
01:49You're encouraged to contact the issuing officer if you would like to make a comment
01:54or request additional information.
01:58I would love additional information.
02:00I might have to do that.
02:01Yeah, and make your rebuttal to them.
02:03Because I want to know if it was email or anonymously sent by a guy with a really swollen
02:10left elbow.
02:11I'll give you that story in a second.
02:12The alleged violation for a pet being a noise nuisance under a new noise ordinance that has
02:19taken effect under Hillsborough County Ordinance Chapter 6, Section 36-436.
02:25Pet owners must prevent their pet from barking, meowing, whining, howling, or other related noises persisting or continuously for more than 20 minutes.
02:41Is your dog barking for more than 20 minutes?
02:44No.
02:45She doesn't bark for more than 20 minutes.
02:46This is a person who is after me, trying to get me.
02:49This is revenge.
02:50If a pet continues longer than the 20-minute period, a recording could be taken and used
02:56to file an affidavit.
02:58A recording could be taken.
03:00So they're going to stand outside of your house with a microphone set up, just recording
03:03your dog for 20 minutes?
03:04Go ahead.
03:05This would be processed with Hillsborough County Animal Control and sent to the state attorney's
03:11office.
03:11What are you going to do?
03:13Take my dog?
03:14Please try.
03:15The above county ordinances can be viewed on our website, blah, blah, blah.
03:19What a joke.
03:20Then there's an officer, Michoud, M-I-C-H-A-U-D, with Hillsborough County Animal Control.
03:27I need to talk to Mr. Michoud.
03:29It's Michoud.
03:30There's a D at the end.
03:30Well, I knew somebody with that spelling, and it was Michoud.
03:34Yeah.
03:34The D was silent, so I don't know how...
03:36There's the D of silence.
03:37Listen, MJ, that's a very thorough just warning letter.
03:41The D is not silent for dog.
03:43Yeah.
03:45The D is silent for either.
03:47For dog barking.
03:50All right, so Froggy has had a problem with a neighbor about five houses down on the canal
03:56in which Froggy lives in, in town and country.
03:59Remember the story?
04:00The neighbor was coming by on his little...
04:03His little skiff.
04:04His little skiff, his little flatboat.
04:06No wake zone going about a mile per hour.
04:08And Froggy's dog was out on their dock barking at the boat, and the neighbor on the boat pulls
04:13close to Froggy's dock and takes one of those little air horn cans and goes,
04:18whack, right in Froggy's dog's face.
04:22Froggy grabbed up one of his kid's baseballs from the yard and hurled it at the guy, slammed
04:29him in the arm, in the elbow, and then there were some curses exchanged.
04:33Then it's been quiet until Froggy found a dead bird lying on his trash can outside.
04:39The dead bird, yeah.
04:41And now...
04:42Look at this.
04:43This.
04:43It continues.
04:44I picture that neighbor with a to-do list of ways to ruin you.
04:48It's like a never-ending story here.
04:50It's like neighborhood revenge.
04:52This guy is probably going to amp it up.
04:55It's probably going to keep ramping up until he actually probably douses your house in some
04:59kind of an accelerator and lights it on fire.
05:01Or until...
05:02This is going to end up in a confrontation between me and this person.
05:05You already had a confrontation.
05:06No, another confrontation.
05:07Another real confrontation, face-to-face.
05:10A fist-to-cuff conversation.
05:12Not him throwing baseballs from 100 yards away.
05:13Now Froggy's got a warning, a courtesy notice from Hillsborough County for his dog barking,
05:19and you're saying that your dog does not bark more than 20 minutes at a time?
05:22Of course not.
05:23My dog is well-trained.
05:25Oh, my God.
05:25Coop, do you have another dog barking or still the same howling in the neighborhood?
05:30Oh, my God.
05:31Coop, do you have better dogs barking?
05:33I do, yeah.
05:33Here.
05:33All right.
05:34Go play it.
05:35Let me hear it.
05:37There you go.
05:37That's a good one.
05:38That's better.
05:39There you go.
05:39That could be what she sounds like.
05:41That's better.
05:42That's an actual recording that they took.
05:45And imagine the air horn.
05:46Wah, wah, wah.
05:48Scaring the hell out of her.
05:49Now, here's the thing.
05:50Yeah.
05:51I've been tasked to go...
05:53Because this worried Kim, you know.
05:55To me, this is like, I don't care.
05:57Kim, I need to go get out and get a bark collar today.
06:00I need to get a shock collar for my dog.
06:02Let me translate what you tried to say there.
06:04All right, so Kim, your wife...
06:06Yeah, she's worried.
06:07...has ordered you to go get one of those bark collars.
06:09That's like a shock collar.
06:11Exactly what it is.
06:12I looked it up.
06:13I know what I'm going to get.
06:13It has a remote with a little button.
06:15My God.
06:15We put that on Froggy 1 like 18, 20 years ago.
06:19They're a little more humane these days.
06:21You think so?
06:21They still shock the animal, right?
06:23I'll bring it in tomorrow.
06:24Remember we put that on Froggy number one?
06:26Oh, I've had numerous ones on me as well.
06:28I think all of us have felt the wrath of the shock.
06:31Oh, my God.
06:32All right, so, folks, we start the week.
06:34What's next?
06:34We start the week with Froggy.
06:36Now, it looks like getting one up now from the neighbor in this neighborhood feud.
06:42How badly does this escalate?
06:45Time for retaliation.
06:46Oh, my God.
06:47Oh, my God.
