Insects, Drains, and Hygiene30:56 – 41:27

Neal O'CarrollHost

30:56

I know bees.

Neal O'CarrollHost

30:57

I rope bees and wasps in in the same category.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:01

If I say wasps, I mean bees.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:03

If I say bees, I mean wasps.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:05

They're all the same.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:06

They're all the same.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:07

They're small things with unfeasibly light wings buzzing around, stinging everybody, annoying our cats, getting in the way and making a ruckus.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:19

Do bees and wasps both make a ruckus? I'm not sure.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:23

Spiders make webs.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:25

Bees and wasps make a ruckus.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:27

Bees make honey.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:28

I realized that.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:29

I don't know what wasps make.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:31

Maybe they don't make anything.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:33

And then spiders, they just make webs.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:36

Flying ants, I don't know what they make.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:39

Maybe they make people vomit by flying into them.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:42

You get something flying into your ear sometimes or up your nose.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:47

You never know whether it's made its way out.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:50

or it's just got stuck in there.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:52

You just try not to think about it.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:53

You try not to think about it, especially if it goes up your nose.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:56

You get something flying up your nose.

Neal O'CarrollHost

31:59

There's no way of knowing, and you're not going to investigate too closely.

Neal O'CarrollHost

32:02

But you don't want to be picking a dead flying ant or bug out of your nose there.
