Speaker 1 (00:00):
I got a quick little thing I wanted to bring up.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
And I'm only bringing this up because we're short on time,
but I want to like get into a topic fast.
I want to ask you, how did you almost like
destroy your house just trying to kill a bug? Or
how did you hurt yourself killing a bug. Here's the
reason why in the phone numbers eight four to form
O Joe Live. Yes, we have wasps all over the house.
And I have no idea why the wasps come out
(00:24):
at this time of the year. Okay, there they fly around,
Their little things are dangling. There are those feet that
are dangling on that thing, and they, honestly, I think
they hurt. They hurt more when they bite you than
a bee bite.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Wasp are horrible.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
So I saw a wasp and I was on the
phone with Maney, who is a very good radio friend
that does a radio showdown in Charlotte, North Carolina. And
I'm on the phone with them, and I'm like, hold on, Mane,
and I'm like grabbing things. Actually I grabbed something kind
of like this, like a pad that Chelsea had, and
then I grabbed some magazines and I'm trying to like
smack the thing in it, you know, kill it. So
(01:01):
it was up against the window in the kitchen and
I'm like, hold on, maney, I'm gonna get this thing.
And I'm I'm not as fast as I used to be.
I don't know if you know this, Like I used
to be really fast, literally literal or not. And uh,
some people say that they used to call me quick drama.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Gras in the bedroom.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
So I see the thing on there and I go boom,
and I smack it, and I swear to you, I
thought I broke my window and I and I said
to Manie, I go, holy crap, I almost just broke
my window trying to kill the wasp.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And I got it. I got it down there and
it wasn't completely dead.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And I started like banging on the countering around your house. Yes,
So Maynie goes on to tell me that many heard
a story about a person who tried to kill ants. Okay,
so they had ants, and they tried to kill a
whole bunch of ants, and they burned their freaking house down.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
What they had to be spraying something flammable.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
They literally try to torch the ants. They tried to
kill the ants. So they had a big old thing
that was like an ant farm or something like that
that was there, and they tried to kill them and
totally kill them, and they burned their freaking house down.
So I said to Mania, I go, I go, uh Many,
I think we got a radio topic. Like we're always
looking for radio topics. We got a radio top Is
that dust truck?
Speaker 4 (02:19):
I'm looking like, what is it? It's snowing in the
studio right now. That's what I was freaking out. So
almost broke my toe. So Gerard's house, you know, Gerardi
Christina my favorite cousins of all time. I go over
their house. Christina, it must be a wasp thing because
they had wasp too. I think there was like a
nest or something that they found. So she has a
huge living room. The wasp are like living on a
(02:42):
wall that's also above a window, and it's a very
high ceiling. So you know, I'm not the tallest guy
in the world, so I couldn't just kill it standing
on my own too. So they got this huge like
lounge chair. So I pushed the lounge chair up to
the window. I stand on top of the lounge chair.
I'm still not tall enough, so now I have to
stand on the arm wrist with one leg and put
(03:02):
my other foot on the back of it so I'm
at the highest height.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That thing tilted and pin my toes up.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I'm like, but you killed it.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I didn't kill it, thought.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So Mine wasn't in a house. Mine was in my car.
There was a spider in my car, and it could
have been way worse. I ended up driving into a
ditch because I just went a little off roading with
it when I was trying to get it really fast.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
It has to happen a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, bugs in the car, bees or something.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Bugs in the car have got a cost for people
to get in near misses or accidents.
Speaker 1 (03:40):

Speaker 2 (03:45):
What's going on? How did you hurt yourself or how
did you ruin something? Trying to kill a bug?
Speaker 6 (03:50):
But I ruined myself is what I did. When I
was younger, I was bent down shaving in the shower
and it was just a stand up shower, you know,
not bathtub. And when I looked on the wall, there
was a spider right in front of me. And I
toiled through the.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Glass door get my hat on the side of the
counter of the bathroom, hit my head wide open, and
my older brother in bompy butt naked, bleeding all over
the place, and I still have a big scar in
the middle of my.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Tiffany. That's crazy, that's great.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
What was worse the fact that you were bleeding to
death on the floor or that your brother saw.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
I was thinking about my brother at the moment.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I was dying. You were dying. I'm dying.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
I'm dying.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
This is the way you got to.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
See me still running around and I was like, get it,
get it, find it.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Find it?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yeah, uh the worst? Thank you? What are worse? Spiders?
Ants or bees? Wasps? Spiders, spiders?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I'm a gold bees was here flip your flipping and
is trying to let be our in studio guests hear her,
and every time you turn your head towards the window,
it causes feedback. It was very sweetie. It was like
it was like, hold on, I'm like, where's the feedback
coming from? Thinking myself, this is crazy trying to be
(05:12):
a good person. You are such a good person. You
are bees wasps? Bees wasps?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Yeah, spiders, I feel like they're not as fast as
bees and wasps.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
You know what we have a ton of right now.
Those stink bugs. They are all worse. Those are horrible
and if you kill them, you're you're I see I do.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I squish them and then I flushed down the toilet
and they don't smell, but they're just annoying.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They're everywhere right now. I think answer are the worst.
You're gonna disagree with me on this.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Ants are everywhere, Like, once you get a couple of ants,
you got a pajillion ants.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
What's up, Katie? How you doing?
Speaker 4 (05:46):

Speaker 1 (05:46):
How are you good? What's happening?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
We're talking about nearly killing yourself trying to kill a bug.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Yeah, so my house is infested with the stink bugs
right now.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So I.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Oh, I bought bugs stop and I was spraying it
all over the house and every single person in the
house was coughing. I thought I poisoned them.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Because of the bug spray that you were spraying or
the smell from the stink Bugsbody.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Had to go.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Everybody had to go outside because they had they had
breathed it in, And I was like, I just killed
my whole family.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
The funny thing is that it probably didn't even kill
the stink bugs, and now the stink bugs basically have
just eliminated you in your entire family.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Can I tell you that.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The funny thing when you do this, when you spray
any of this stuff, there are some people that try
to use the organic you know, they're like organic deodorant,
organic that my mother.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
In law, she makes all this stuff, and I'm like,
it doesn't work.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's basically it's basically like water that you're spraying on
top of the thing, and it doesn't kill them at all.
And honestly, what you're doing is you're saving the world,
but you're now killing yourself because it's driving you nuts.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
You got that damn thing there, I need poison.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I had a friend of mine that came to my
house and saw that we had those little ant hotels
yet the little like those things, and they were so offended,
and it was funny. They're all, they're offended. You understand
what that's doing to the environment by putting that thing down?
And I said, yeah, I don't care. Yeah, it's it's
like okay, And they're like, you're I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Can't you deal with a little ants?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Can't you?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Just like I can't. Yeah, I don't want them.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
When y'all were kids, and y'all used to like knock
over ant homes, when I used to build up on
the sidewalk, used to kick them over.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
You're the same guy that, by the way, is a
mass murderer.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I'm the only one.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Did you light them on fire with a magnifying guys
to pour? Then I start feeling bad. I'm like, because

The lady down the street seized me because I spoke
to her as I was canvassing. She's seen me. She
