Kicker: Trespassing chicken

NICK EICHER, HOST: You know they say no one’s above the law. But does it apply to all living creatures?

SWINDLE: Ah, bruh! Naaah! Awww!

That’s rookie officer Nathan Swindle responding to a call from a lady complaining of a chicken on her porch that wouldn’t leave.

And the chicken, well, just wouldn’t listen to reason.

SWINDLE: Come on, now, git on git! Git on git now!

That’s Arkansas for “depart the premises.”

Bottom line, that chicken wasn’t “gittin,” so Officer Swindle was gonna have to take her into custody and bring an end to the free-range chicken’s liberty.

Which is easier said than done.

Because the chicken had more moves than an NFL running back. But ultimately …

SWINDLE: AWW! Got it!

... the long arm of the law did prevail.

SWINDLE: Got it!

Of course they send the rookie on this call.

All a prelude to saying, after some fowl play an eggstraordinary ending with the hen off the porch and back to the farm.
