Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, the wild life too, a wild life.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
So the town in Uh's I would call it West
Texas called Eastland, which is strange. But Uh, in Eastland,
there was a guy who was doing some mowing around
this abandoned house, and I guess maybe he's just kind
of keeping the grass down out there, right. Well, then
he uh works up some bees, right, so he's like,
(00:33):
oh crap freaking out here. He then takes off running,
gets into his pickup truck, drives off. So as he's
driving off because the bees were chasing him, gets in
his truck and he ends up crashing into someone's front yard.
(00:53):
They're like freaking out. They call nine one one, They
don't really know what to do. By the time the
ambulance gets there, the guy is dead for the bees.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
On him still like in his car. Like what caused
him to wreck into a house after he'd already escaped
from the bees and was in a vehicle.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
That's what I'm assuming is like the bees a few
guys in there. At least he had bees in his pants.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Hey man, I respect human life when you're on a date.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
What was he doing to get the bees all pissed off? Mowing?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yep? Did he mow over there, hive.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yeah, maybe you know. I've got a couple of old
tea posts in my backyard that are basically there for
like the house built in the sixties. We have a
clothes line dry some shirts, which I you know, honestly,
probably better than hanging them up over on the shower
and letting your clothes tracks. I don't want to shrink
my shirts. And in those in the summertime, in those
(01:54):
tea posts, boy, the bees, I mean once or twice
a year I have to go through with the bee
killer and go spray in those holes, which kind of
fun to do. K so much.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Did you guys know that t posts could sing without
auto tune?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Have you ever heard of wrong Guy? Wrong Guy? Fascinating
that we learned that he.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Didn't have to rely on that technology. Your life has
changed in so many magical ways. You're so domesticated now, KT,
and it's like you're doing so much yard work, and
you're so proud of the yard, and you're always out
there tinkering and stuff. Do you have like a you
have like a handyman area in your garage. No, it's
whatever's in the garage is handyman area. Okay, it doesn't
(02:39):
make sense to me.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Interesting thing going on with my sprinkler system.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Oh this is great. I'm dying to hear this.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
No so, but imagine that the chaos of a truck
just off road and crashes and then stops.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Was he allergic to bees?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I don't know. We're still waiting to find out. I'm
wondering if you had a heart attack too, a combination
of the beasting into the heart attack.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
It's just I'm trying to so he's whose yard was
he mowing? Do we know?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We don't know, because they did show the house, and
the news story that I watched the house was abandoned,
So maybe he was just knocking it down, good Samaritan
type stuff, or maybe it was his land that he owned.
I'm not sure. It does seem weird that you would
be like, there's bees, I'm gonna run in my truck
and drive off. Well, if there's that many bees, though,
I won't speak on this because I've never been attacked
(03:28):
by a swarm of bees.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Right, and there are there are There are certain I
don't know their bees or wasp or whatever, but when
you attack one, they send the distress call to the others. Yeah,
and then they all come after you.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Because they all got one sting in them. They got
one sting their entire life, so they're saving it. And
if one is in trouble, they all come because one
guy's gonna go fix it, but he's gonna die and
fix that, so they all have to come together. It
sounds like the end of that Avengers movie. It is
very much in a simple situation. Yeah. In fact, I
am looking forward to the Jerry Side filled B movie
(04:01):
that's based on the Avengers. Oh, it's gonna be great.
I'm gonna go watch it at the theater with Tom
Cruise and Larry King.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
All right, Kevin, thank you for your incredible reporting.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I guess not Larry King.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Great work. Oh he's just finding out Larry King is dead.
Coming up next in just over three minutes, we go
around the sports. We now know who is in the
NBA Finals. What does that tell us or not the
NBA finals, the conference finals? What does that tell us
about the Mavericks and the way they're constructing the new
version of their team. We'll discuss next right here. Just
over three minutes. On ninety seven point one, the e

Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today.
