Mary: I was walking through the woods one day,

and I saw a pile of shit.

I got to thinking, "Wouldn't it be funny

to put eyeballs on them?"

And then, since then, it's grown into, like, you know,

50, 60 different products.

Now, this isn't a Popsicle.

That's a poop-sicle, otherwise known

as a high-fiber Fudgsicle.

My parents play with poop.

How's the turd counting go?

9,000 right there.

Close to $50,000 worth of turds in there.

How many clocks do you have?

-10. -That's it?

You going to end up pissing us off.

We got this big New Hampshire show coming up.

I'm a little bit nervous.

Mary: It's the major leagues of craft shows

in this part of the country.

It's my chance for people to see what I do

and hopefully make a solid profit.

How much have you sold?

-Not a lot. -Really?

A little bit nervous about it.

I'm just sick of always being broke.

Look at it.

It's huge.

And to -- It must weigh like 3 pounds.

I just can't imagine [bleep] it out.

At the town meeting, I was looking to find

some turd getters, but, as it turns out,

I didn't have to look any further

than right across the street.

You know, you're going to be doing this stuff,

and I know that you have a need for a yoke.Mm-hmm.

This yoke probably won't fit completely.

What are you looking for for a yoke cost?

They're like 350 to 450 bucks.

You've had them priced out and all that? Yeah.

So if we get you out on some of these expeditions with us,

and maybe I can give you, you know,

maybe 500 bucks or something like that.

Does that work? -Yeah.

I've known Mary since, like,

I was like 6, so about 10 years now.

Me and Mary's relationship's great.

Like, she's a friend.

She's an aunt.

She could be my mom.

Dale is my neighbor, and he's 16 years old.

He's a strong, big boy. He's willing to work.

He's like a jack-of-all-trades.

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

Elisha: Dale makes me proud every day.

He is a good kid, big heart, will help anyone,

and then, with his cows, they really reflect him.

This one has more of a cuddly personality.

Going to be honest. Whoa.

I cut the nuts off of them

probably when they was like 4 or 5 months old.

We actually crimped them.[ Cow moos ]

He's all excited about working and doing turds and stuff,

you know, and I don't know of many more guys

that could really deserve a break.

You know, I mean, he has a lot of needs

and stuff with his critters and stuff,

and I'd like to get him fixed up.

I'm going to take this job as seriously as I can.

I know you are.

You're gung ho, and, I mean, anytime you --

I'll be here.

Thank you, Dale.

This is the biggest opportunity I've ever had,

and I'm hoping I can take it and run with it.

Well, let's head off the trail a little bit,

cut down to the back side of the swamp.

It's kind of like when you got a body in the woods.

You know, you've got everybody looking for turds.

You've got everybody looking for that body.

It's all the same, basically.

You're just looking for turds at that point.

Well, we got this big New Hampshire

show coming up, and I'm nervous.

I want to be able to bring in as many customers as I can.

I want to draw them to the booth.

I want to make a huge splash.

I want people to notice us.

In a couple weeks in New Hampshire at The Hampshire Dome,

they're having "The Great New England

Fall Crafts and Artisans Show,"

which is a mouthful to say,

but it's the major leagues of craft shows

in this part of the country.

I mean, there's over 200 vendors

and thousands of potential customers.

It's my chance for people to see what I do

and hopefully make a solid profit.

I want to make a good impression.

What if I got a moose?

-Oh, my God. -No, no, no, no, no.

-No, Dale. -I'm only joking.

I'm only joking. -No, I'm not joking.

Can you imagine how many people

would come to see the moose and the turds?

It's like, "Oh, my God." I love it.

I love it, Dale.

But how am I going to get a moose?

Where?

Well, I guess you're going to have to figure that out.I'm going to try.

I mean, seriously, the feedback we would get on that,

oh, my aching ass.

I can only imagine, but no promises.

Otherwise, you're going to be in a moose costume.No.

Oh, yeah. That's it.

I'm going to hold you to it.

I want a moose at the show. -Come on.

Either that, or you're going to be in the suit

with a dingleberry hanging off your ass.

That's it.

Mary: I got this big show coming up,

and I want to launch this exotic line of alpaca turds.

Donna used to work at Hussey's, and I know her,

so already we have, like, a connection, right?

-They're fingerless gloves. -These are beautiful.

-Aren't they softer than wool? -Yeah, they are.

I'm thinking, you know, if she would give me

some of them alpaca turds,

I could make her a poo-poo clock with her own turds.

I think that might excite her.

She could get the first one ever built in history,

and that would be quite an honor.

Watch their heads.

[ Treats rattling ]

[ Laughs ]

This is Ms. Mary.

I would like to see some of your turds, if you don't mind.

-He's like, "What?" -See?

How many turds you think we might be able to get out here?

Oh, they poop a lot.

-They do? -They do.

I'm out here like three or four times a day.

Oh, look, there's one doing it now.

Look at that. -Oh, look at it.

Lookit, they all go running. Whoo-hoo.

I think I'm going to make an alpaca poo-poo clock.

I can do an alpaca [ding]

Maybe I could do some picture frames

with your favorite [buzzer]

and have alpaca turds all the way around it.

Oh, my God.

Look at these.

-Nice. -Oh, my God.

Those -- uh-oh. -Ew.

That's what you call sticky [clink]

It's very sticky [ding]

Mary: Well, the baby alpaca turds look like little, teeny, mini,

like, them little chocolate kisses

because they squeeze right out of the butt,

you know, [pops] like one of those little things.

Oh, I shouldn't have done that. Oh, no.

I stuck my finger in my mouth.

It had shit on it.[ Laughs ]

Oh, what the hell is up with that?

This is great. Thank you so much.

You're more than welcome.

Oh, I'm going to get those dehydrating.

[ Laughs ]

Today, I got a huge haul.

It's, like, almost a half a bucketful of alpaca turds.

I'm so excited, you know?

Hey, you got some good crap.

Well, thank you.

[ Cow moos ]

Mary: Live from Somerville, this is "Talkin' Tirds,"

the show that cuts the crap and asks the questions

you're too afraid to ask.

My guest tonight is Gina Collins from Sonny's Rock Shop,

and she's been kind enough to join us here today.

So I have a couple questions for you.

Sure.

First, I looked at your website,

and I see it's called a mystery shop.

What's the mystery about rocks?

[ Fly buzzing ]What's the mystery?

Well, you never know where they came from.

It's a mystery.

Alright.

[ Clears throat ]

You brought a stool sample with you here today.

I did.

Why don't you tell me a little bit about it?

It's dinosaur poop.

How do you know that that's a dinosaur turd?

The experts told me it was.

[ Buzzing continues ]This is just a piece of one.

No, they can be big, like this.

-Wow. -Yeah.

Can you imagine all the product

you could make out of a dinosaur turd?

Right?[ Buzzing continues ]

Based on the shape of the turd,

what kind of dinosaur do you think it's from?

I always say I think it's a meat-eater.

-And does it float? -No.

So it must be a meat-eater.

You know, high fiber turds always float.

Right. This has to be a meat-eater.

-Did you sniff it? -I licked it.

Want to lick it?

[ Licks ]

That's all the time we have for this edition of "Talkin' Tirds."

I'm Mary Winchenbach reminding all of you out there in America

to stand up, be nice to one another

and, most importantly, to give a crap.

[ Cow moos ]

Mary has definitely kicked off a great bowel movement here,

and I hope it really gets everything moving in town.

That lady is outstanding, turd or not.

Dale: Hey. How you doing?

Leif: Well, hello, young man. Who are you?

-I'm actually Dale. -Well, Dale, my name is Leif.

-Nice to meet you. -Come on in. Come on in.

Have a seat. -I'm looking to find a moose.

[ Chuckles ]

What in the world are you looking for a moose for?

Moose season is over, so what are you talking about?

-Well, my boss... -Yeah.

owns a -- the Tirdy Works business,

and she's going to a big show, and it's in New Hampshire.

-Alright. -And I just made the suggestion,

you know, what if -- maybe --

wouldn't it be funny if we got a moose

and brought it to the big fall show?[ Laughs ]

Just as a joke, but she took it literally,

and she told me, if I didn't have a moose...Yeah?

...I had to wear a moose costume.

So you're on a mission from God right now,

aren't you, to get a moose? -Yeah.

So you could have your buddies calling you Bullwinkle,

then, if you put a moose outfit on?

Yeah. Yeah.[ Laughs ]

Wouldn't that be fun? Bullwinkle...

-No, not really. -...and company.

How in the world will you get a moose

from here to New Hampshire?

Do you have a moose trailer?

I guess I'd have to use a horse trailer.

[ Chuckles ]

It's going to be a tall order, kiddo, to go capture a moose,

but you look like you'd look pretty good

in that moose outfit.

Bullwinkle. [ Laughs ] Good deal.

[ Clock ticking ]

I need help.

T-shirts are a great way

to get the word out at these craft shows,

so I put Katie in charge of making the T-shirts.

She's brought Courtney and his buddy Scott to help out.

So we're each going to do three -- three ideas.

Moose?

Mary: I'm hoping Katie comes up with something simple.

You know, I don't want anything fluffy or fancy.

♪♪

But a picture of a unicorn with a turd

coming out of its ass would be interesting, don't you think?

We can't continue to do this.

We dish out hundreds and hundreds of dollars,

you know, trying to make our products

and making sure we have enough

and then we dish out more to pay for T-shirts at the show

[sighs] and then we end up broke at the end.

Is that the sign for poop?

Okay. "I brake for moose crap."

"JustPooIt."

"Just dropping it."

"I play with poop."

I like that one, too.

This is a big test.

I'm going to spend a small fortune

that I don't have to prove to Deb

that there's a market for my crap.

Okay.

[ Clock ticking ]

You wanted some alpaca clocks. Here you go.

Does that mean you got the alpaca crap?

Lookit. Lookit.

Look how beautiful they are.

They're fresh, too.

-That's a gold mine. -I know.

And look at all the different shapes and sizes we got.

I hate dealing with alpaca poop,

especially when it hasn't been dipped yet.

It's sticky.

But look.

Would you be able to do them, like,

a line of them coming out of the alpaca's ass?

I'm sure I could. How many you want in the line?

I don't know. Maybe three or four,

just so people can see where the turds come from.

Well, I think they know where they come from.

Well, I know, but that kind of makes it more realistic

'cause you can see them. It's dramatic.

Yes, it is, very.

Something I would like to avoid in the future,

if you don't mind --

Well, I might mind.

Well, it's something that's not really a big deal,

but when you're trying to tell time,

it helps if the numbers are in order.

-See? See, you went four... -That's unique.

-...seven, six, five. -No. How do you know I did that?

That might've been you.I think that's your turd right there.

That [bleep] is out of place. -No, it's not.

That's a different-shaped turd than that one...

It's unique....and then the numbers are messed up.

Quality control is important, even if you're dealing

with crap, you know,

and we got to make as many alpaca poo-poo clocks as we can.

I could be guilty, but you could be, too.

[ Muttering ] Mm, don't think so.

Was you smoking weed when you did it?

No.

[ Cow moos ]

So right off, I kind of felt a male energy for you in spirit.

Who would be mentioning the chip off the old block?

I feel like it's your father saying that.

-Yes. -Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

He was kind of a funny guy, wasn't he? Yeah.

That's where you got your sense of humor?

-I think so. -Yeah, yeah.

He's coming through as being very talkative, very funny.

He says he's with Mom?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Mary: I was an only child.

My dad was always real, really, really funny,

and I always admired that about him,

and I could never seem to keep up when I was a kid

Nobody does that.

But nobody sells [bleep] either.

These are fecal people,

we can do with the big boobs and guts

and butts and long legs and short legs

It might sound crazy,

selling turds by a frigging taxidermied moose,
