Speaker 1 (04:58):
There we go, that's the thing. Joe Boggs, Yes, sir,
to giveaway.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I'm in the big bucks now, boys, I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Answer was the video?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Oh yeah, oh isn't that.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He sent me a picture and a video and said,
what in the heck am I seeing on my beach tree?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And they seem to be pretty common this year, although
I haven't run across them. I'm just so I need
to do that because I've posted on them, as you know,
and I even have a video to music posted on YouTube.
But you can never have enough, right, right, My wife,
(05:42):
I was taking some pictures of my long suffering family,
you know, they're tagging along and you know, in fact,
in fact, my my daughter got me a T shirt
that says wait, wait a bug, because because that's what
they they heard going up, you know, and and and
more than once. My wife and family said, well, I
(06:05):
thought you've taken a lot of pictures of those, and
my response is you can never have enough, right and
this particular one, you can never have enough, and with
video that really doesn't doesn't it. Oh goodness?
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But they had no idea. And when she's you know,
obviously said when I got close to it also to
start moving like, what in the world is this?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Well, this is their very you know, it's we're doing
an inside joke thing, aren't we. Because I just realized, oh,
you know, we we better talk about this because Curtis Young.
For example, van Osu Extension van Wert County this past Tuesday,
you know, every Tuesday morning we have our gathering of
different extension folks who work with trees and shrubs, and
(06:47):
and he wild us with some really great photography. It
was on the o ISSU Mansfield campus was really a
nice campus. A lot of folks don't realize that Ohio
State does have these other campuses. But nonetheless, the OSHU
Mansfield campus has a very nice woods on the property
(07:08):
and and every year they can almost you can almost
count on it, which is not true all over the place.
Because I have revisited sites with American Beach, and that's
very important to start with. So these are only found
on American Beach, not European beach. If you find white
aphids and European beach, they're going to be on the
(07:29):
underside of the leaves, maybe a little bit at the
tips of the twigs. And those are just called beach
leaf aphids. Okay, so they have a pretty nice name,
beach leaf aped But if it's you're looking at American
Beach and you have this these these gatherings of hundreds
thousands really in tight bunches, and we call them a colony,
(07:51):
even though less not entirely correct. You know, they're not
really colonial. It's just a grouping of these white looking insects.
And if you look very closer. They look like little
cotton balls, don't they. They just but that's at the
back end of their abdomen. So you if you look
real close, so you can see that this cotton ball
is attached to an insect. And if you do nothing,
(08:12):
they just they're just you know, moving around. But even
if you just blow on them, if you do anything disturbing,
they start wiggling that cotton ball that Q tip at
their tail end in Unison, and I thought, I've always
thought that was kind of interesting because Curtis, for example,
showed a video and I've never I've never paid attention
(08:33):
to this, and I probably saw it, but there's a
whole group of these beach blight aphids or boogie woogie aphids,
because it looks like they're dancing in Unison. There's a
whole group wiggling. There were ends, you know, in Unison,
and then there was one by itself out kind of
on the leaf and ron it was it was, it
was in sync with the rest of them. It was
(08:54):
wiggling in the next neighborhood's out there, which yeah, which
you know, you know, obviously, if we could just hear
aphid talk, they'd be yelling all together now, you know,
you know, I'm sorry. I know ted to do my
Richard Simmons or something like that. You know, it's just
dancing around, but it's well, that's an old name, and
(09:16):
oh my gosh. Well you know, I'm just thinking this, yeah,
really high energy.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Tell me you worked out on TV. You worked out
in your family room on the TV watching Richard Simmons.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I kept falling off the TV. That was a problem. Wrong.
I wanted to work out on the TV. It's really
flat screens. It just didn't work. I stopped working out.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, we got to take a break with ladies and gentlemen.
He won the grand prize. It is boogie woogie aphid uh.
What's the other one?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Beach beach black. This sounds yeah. They don't call it
any harm. But we will come back to some of
these things.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, yeah, okay, Well anyway, I'll get your three fifty

cone knows.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Boy, how'd you know that was going to be top
of it? Joe off with it? But you know it
sounds like that, doesn't it. So so it's really hit
the media this.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Past Joe Strucker Joe Strucker was on a soapbox last
week about that. He's like, oh my god, you've got
to be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, you know, it's something, it's something. So so what
we're talking about. If you go to our b y
g L, I mean, if you just even just google
b y g L or whatever search engine you use
that stands for Buckeye Yard and Garden Online, but b
y g L, you'll see the postings and and it's, uh,
(12:42):
you know, you and I have talked about this just
about this time every year. We do have in Ohio.
So if you're talking the you know Ohio, if you're
talking Maryland, uh in this in this belt, in this
eastern area, and we do have a native kissing bug
and it's called a bloodsucking tone. Those sounds terrible. It
(13:04):
focuses its attention though on animals, on small animals, even
where it exists all the way down in Central and
South America, same species, but it is it doesn't come
after people quite as much as the other kissing bugs.
And people are probably wondering, what, well, what's wrong with
the kissing bug? Well there is. These bugs can carry
(13:29):
a protozoan, a little tiny worm like critter that can
infect people and lead to a disease, a disease called
Schegi's disease c H A g U S Schegi's disease
which which is which is a serious disease. But we've
never seen that occur in Ohio where a kissing bug
(13:52):
has bitten a person, they've contracted Schega's disease. It has
occurred in Texas and some southern states, and kissing bugs
are a real problem in Central and South America quite frankly,
where many of the species, and there's more than one.
Many of the species behave a little bit like bedbugs.
They come into homes and they exist in large numbers
(14:14):
in homes. So and then of course you have people
who who are infected and have Shaghi's disease. They get
bitten by kissing bug, and then that bug goes and
bites somebody else. And you see what I'm driving at.
It does spread the disease, but not in Ohio. However,
as a result of year after year, because every year
(14:36):
we talk about them, don't we.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
That's what Joe Schrucker was all fired up. I said,
you know, you can't count on Buggy Joe.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
To do well. Yeah, it's a it's a very strange
thing because you go back and look at past writings.
I think, I think this is one of those, you know,
good or bad. With the web, you know, people can
find information now like they never could in the past.
(15:03):
So someone finds an insect, you know, you know, walking
around they've never seen before. They're fairly big, and then
they go on the web and and even I hate
to say I've been told this, I've never tried them out.
Even some of the identification apps on phones for other
insects can take you to kissing bugs. So so it's
(15:24):
a bit of a problem. And we don't know. I mean,
on one hand, are we seeing more or is it
just that people are able to get you know, uh
information easier. And I think it's yeah, I agree with yeah,
I think that's it. But here's the real problem. Then
(15:46):
we have all these lookalikes. So the big one is
a wheelbug not actually a little bit bigger. And in fact,
yesterday during the is a field day, a wheelbug was
found and we all looked at it, and you know,
I can kind of see why people kind you know,
they have kind of stilt like legs, just like kissing bugs,
kind of elongated bodies.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Trying to kiss me.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I tell you, even I want, well, I won't handle wheelbugs.
They are good bugs. They are predators. They have all
these bugs, including kissing bugs, are in a family that
we call assassin bugs. And so wheelbugs, as their name implies,
they kill things. They kill other insects. They use this
pierce they're piercing, sucking mouth parts to inject enzymes and
(16:35):
then does all the innards of their prey and then
suck it up for food. But if you mishandle these,
which I'm not. We often say that mishandled. Well, yeah,
I mean, if you squeeze on them, they can bite you.
That's the main point. They won't come after you and
bite you, but wheelbugs can deliver pretty painful bite. So
(16:57):
people have been bitten by wheelbugs. And of course they
look at't even I probably would make a little noise
if one of them landed on me. But the point being,
is there a bunch of look like? So I posted
on Tuesday about kissing bugs, and ron, oh my goodness,
I started getting pictures of everything but kissing bugs. And again,
(17:21):
you know, you know, we want folks to take a
really good look at what they're thinking is a kissing bug,
because we really do want to know, you know, about them.
I've been keeping track of where they're being found in Ohio,
and one thing that's pretty consistent. If they're in or
around the home. First, you don't have a bunch of them.
(17:42):
You only have maybe one or two at most, very
often in a garage. But usually that home is surrounded
by woods, maybe in the woods, or has very close
at hand, you know what we'd call naturalized area. That's
nice growing up in West Virginia. I wish we'd have
known that, because all these fields that we let go,
(18:04):
we could have just called them naturalized areas, right, Yeah,
it would have founded better. Yeah yeah, But what else
do you find in naturalized areas? And in the woods
you find mice, racoons, you find a lot of animals,
And that's what the blood sucking tone knows goes after
they do suck blood from these other animals. And if
(18:27):
you're in close, if they're in close proximity or home, yes,
occasionally they will wander in. And that's why we want
to kind of know about this. Is there a consistency
with location, you know, the different counties they do seem
to be more often found in southern Ohio, the southern
part of the state. Or the paper written in nineteen
(18:48):
sixty that said, you know, this kissing bug is endemic,
meaning it you know, it's native too southern Ohio. So
it's been with us forever apparently, and it's not unexpected
to find them. But let's all pay closed attention to
exactly what we're seeing. So I posted yesterday or no
(19:12):
day before yesterday Thursday a follow up showing the look alikes,
and I got to tell you, based on what my
wife found on the front porch, I'm going to have
to add another one, and I'm not to add the
one that with a squashed pine bug. Yes, it looks
a little bit like it.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, I loved it. On the sixteenth we get the
Ohio kissing bug conundrum, and then on the eighteenth quick
follow up. Look closely, there are a lot of look alikes.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So take your Seghi's disease, you bloodsucking coons, and get
out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I will, I will. I'm gonna go dance with the aphis.
Speaker 1 (19:48):

State does have these other campuses. But nonetheless, the OSHU
Mansfield campus has a very nice woods on the property
(07:08):
and and every year they can almost you can almost
count on it, which is not true all over the place.
Because I have revisited sites with American Beach, and that's
very important to start with. So these are only found
on American Beach, not European beach. If you find white
aphids and European beach, they're going to be on the
(07:29):
underside of the leaves, maybe a little bit at the
tips of the twigs. And those are just called beach
leaf aphids. Okay, so they have a pretty nice name,
beach leaf aped But if it's you're looking at American
Beach and you have this these these gatherings of hundreds
thousands really in tight bunches, and we call them a colony,
(07:51):
even though less not entirely correct. You know, they're not
really colonial. It's just a grouping of these white looking insects.
And if you look very closer. They look like little
cotton balls, don't they. They just but that's at the
back end of their abdomen. So you if you look
real close, so you can see that this cotton ball
is attached to an insect. And if you do nothing,
(08:12):
they just they're just you know, moving around. But even
if you just blow on them, if you do anything disturbing,
they start wiggling that cotton ball that Q tip at
their tail end in Unison, and I thought, I've always
thought that was kind of interesting because Curtis, for example,
showed a video and I've never I've never paid attention
(08:33):
to this, and I probably saw it, but there's a
whole group of these beach blight aphids or boogie woogie aphids,
because it looks like they're dancing in Unison. There's a
whole group wiggling. There were ends, you know, in Unison,
and then there was one by itself out kind of
on the leaf and ron it was it was, it
was in sync with the rest of them. It was
(08:54):
wiggling in the next neighborhood's out there, which yeah, which
you know, you know, obviously, if we could just hear
aphid talk, they'd be yelling all together now, you know,
you know, I'm sorry. I know ted to do my
Richard Simmons or something like that. You know, it's just
dancing around, but it's well, that's an old name, and
(09:16):
oh my gosh. Well you know, I'm just thinking this, yeah,
really high energy.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Tell me you worked out on TV. You worked out
in your family room on the TV watching Richard Simmons.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
I kept falling off the TV. That was a problem. Wrong.
I wanted to work out on the TV. It's really
flat screens. It just didn't work. I stopped working out.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, we got to take a break with ladies and gentlemen.
He won the grand prize. It is boogie woogie aphid uh.
What's the other one?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Beach beach black. This sounds yeah. They don't call it
any harm. But we will come back to some of
these things.

cone knows.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Boy, how'd you know that was going to be top
of it? Joe off with it? But you know it
sounds like that, doesn't it. So so it's really hit
the media this.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Past Joe Strucker Joe Strucker was on a soapbox last
week about that. He's like, oh my god, you've got
to be kidding me.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Well, you know, it's something, it's something. So so what
we're talking about. If you go to our b y
g L, I mean, if you just even just google
b y g L or whatever search engine you use
that stands for Buckeye Yard and Garden Online, but b
y g L, you'll see the postings and and it's, uh,
(12:42):
you know, you and I have talked about this just
about this time every year. We do have in Ohio.
So if you're talking the you know Ohio, if you're
talking Maryland, uh in this in this belt, in this
eastern area, and we do have a native kissing bug
and it's called a bloodsucking tone. Those sounds terrible. It
(13:04):
focuses its attention though on animals, on small animals, even
where it exists all the way down in Central and
South America, same species, but it is it doesn't come
after people quite as much as the other kissing bugs.
And people are probably wondering, what, well, what's wrong with
the kissing bug? Well there is. These bugs can carry
(13:29):
a protozoan, a little tiny worm like critter that can
infect people and lead to a disease, a disease called
Schegi's disease c H A g U S Schegi's disease
which which is which is a serious disease. But we've
never seen that occur in Ohio where a kissing bug
(13:52):
has bitten a person, they've contracted Schega's disease. It has
occurred in Texas and some southern states, and kissing bugs
are a real problem in Central and South America quite frankly,
where many of the species, and there's more than one.
Many of the species behave a little bit like bedbugs.
They come into homes and they exist in large numbers
(14:14):
in homes. So and then of course you have people
who who are infected and have Shaghi's disease. They get
bitten by kissing bug, and then that bug goes and
bites somebody else. And you see what I'm driving at.
It does spread the disease, but not in Ohio. However,
as a result of year after year, because every year
(14:36):
we talk about them, don't we.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
That's what Joe Schrucker was all fired up. I said,
you know, you can't count on Buggy Joe.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
To do well. Yeah, it's a it's a very strange
thing because you go back and look at past writings.
I think, I think this is one of those, you know,
good or bad. With the web, you know, people can
find information now like they never could in the past.
(15:03):
So someone finds an insect, you know, you know, walking
around they've never seen before. They're fairly big, and then
they go on the web and and even I hate
to say I've been told this, I've never tried them out.
Even some of the identification apps on phones for other
insects can take you to kissing bugs. So so it's
(15:24):
a bit of a problem. And we don't know. I mean,
on one hand, are we seeing more or is it
just that people are able to get you know, uh
information easier. And I think it's yeah, I agree with yeah,
I think that's it. But here's the real problem. Then
(15:46):
we have all these lookalikes. So the big one is
a wheelbug not actually a little bit bigger. And in fact,
yesterday during the is a field day, a wheelbug was
found and we all looked at it, and you know,
I can kind of see why people kind you know,
they have kind of stilt like legs, just like kissing bugs,
kind of elongated bodies.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Trying to kiss me.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
I tell you, even I want, well, I won't handle wheelbugs.
They are good bugs. They are predators. They have all
these bugs, including kissing bugs, are in a family that
we call assassin bugs. And so wheelbugs, as their name implies,
they kill things. They kill other insects. They use this
pierce they're piercing, sucking mouth parts to inject enzymes and
(16:35):
then does all the innards of their prey and then
suck it up for food. But if you mishandle these,
which I'm not. We often say that mishandled. Well, yeah,
I mean, if you squeeze on them, they can bite you.
That's the main point. They won't come after you and
bite you, but wheelbugs can deliver pretty painful bite. So
(16:57):
people have been bitten by wheelbugs. And of course they
look at't even I probably would make a little noise
if one of them landed on me. But the point being,
is there a bunch of look like? So I posted
on Tuesday about kissing bugs, and ron, oh my goodness,
I started getting pictures of everything but kissing bugs. And again,
(17:21):
you know, you know, we want folks to take a
really good look at what they're thinking is a kissing bug,
because we really do want to know, you know, about them.
I've been keeping track of where they're being found in Ohio,
and one thing that's pretty consistent. If they're in or
around the home. First, you don't have a bunch of them.
(17:42):
You only have maybe one or two at most, very
often in a garage. But usually that home is surrounded
by woods, maybe in the woods, or has very close
at hand, you know what we'd call naturalized area. That's
nice growing up in West Virginia. I wish we'd have
known that, because all these fields that we let go,
(18:04):
we could have just called them naturalized areas, right, Yeah,
it would have founded better. Yeah yeah, But what else
do you find in naturalized areas? And in the woods
you find mice, racoons, you find a lot of animals,
And that's what the blood sucking tone knows goes after
they do suck blood from these other animals. And if
(18:27):
you're in close, if they're in close proximity or home, yes,
occasionally they will wander in. And that's why we want
to kind of know about this. Is there a consistency
with location, you know, the different counties they do seem
to be more often found in southern Ohio, the southern
part of the state. Or the paper written in nineteen
(18:48):
sixty that said, you know, this kissing bug is endemic,
meaning it you know, it's native too southern Ohio. So
it's been with us forever apparently, and it's not unexpected
to find them. But let's all pay closed attention to
exactly what we're seeing. So I posted yesterday or no
(19:12):
day before yesterday Thursday a follow up showing the look alikes,
and I got to tell you, based on what my
wife found on the front porch, I'm going to have
to add another one, and I'm not to add the
one that with a squashed pine bug. Yes, it looks
a little bit like it.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah, I loved it. On the sixteenth we get the
Ohio kissing bug conundrum, and then on the eighteenth quick
follow up. Look closely, there are a lot of look alikes.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
So take your Seghi's disease, you bloodsucking coons, and get
out of here.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I will, I will. I'm gonna go dance with the aphis.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
