The episode should be out by now. I know we said we were going to do the episode.

I told Matt I lied to him. He doesn't know the episode's not out. The episode will be out by right now. I apologize. Our editor had to go see a friend in New York, but we just got in touch with him after a little bit. He was vacationing, seeing some family in Altoona. So he was doing something. Apparently he was like, we kept asking, where are you?

He's like, I'm taking matters in my own hand. And I was like, I don't really know what that means, but OK, whatever you say. But he's getting onto it. His family doesn't have any Wi-Fi. So we had to go to a local McDonald's and we should be getting it

probably around 11 o'clock today. Yeah, he's busy. He's doing like some judicial stuff in the meantime, but we'll see what that looks like. But yeah, the picture on by the time you watch this will be out there and everything.

Matt, who we got on today? My frickin boy, boy comedian exterminator former private eye the doggie dog cody wright is this um all right let's go on everyone no problem so i i i left my windows up and all the pesticide kind of fucking got out inside of my head right now it's a little cloudy in there is it always just cloudy i feel like a little bit dude That's it's kind of nice. That's what it's nice about exterminating You don't know whether it's like the stuff you did from last night or the pesticides you're spraying now

So it's like dude, I'm not drunk. I'm just full of poison. Yeah. Yeah, and then you hit him with this I got his shoes on the other foot fucking I could say the same thing to you You fucking spray that in the face You're like the guy from the Batman movie the one with Poison Ivy where she pumps that guy full of poison and everything. I'm Bane, dude. Oh, that's cool. Oh, it is Bane. It's like a different

version of Bane. It's a poison Bane. Damn. Yeah, poison Bane. I totally forgot about that. Yeah. You were born into the battery. The bed bugs

live within me. My God. Cody almost had his entire company stolen from underneath of his nose at one point. Yeah, that's pretty wild. I mean mean the company

name is called mugabug it's there's no one else that has that and we bought it from my exterminator who was doing it for like 30 years before my dad bought it from him and then he was doing it for 20 years and then he passed away and i was doing it for like five years and all of a sudden there's another mugabug out and about and like and the. And all of a sudden there's another Muggabug out and about. And the only reason I even found out there was another Muggabug, one of my clients calls my mom, who's the secretary for Muggabug, and is like, is Cody okay? She's like, yeah, why?

He's like, oh, we called this other Muggabug and they said that the owner's dead. And that they're the new Muggabug. So people were calling and being like, hey, is this Muggabug? And they're like, no, this is the new muggabug so they were people like were calling i mean like hey is this muggabug and they're like no this is the new muggabug the owner of the other one's dead so we're the new muggabug so yeah they were i called them i'm like yeah what the fuck are you doing they're like oh it's a huge misunderstanding like all right well stop please can you do the trademark to the name yeah yeah but yeah i thought i mean i think i could still sue him at this point but you know i like to leave him sweating yeah that's what i need money i will probably turn back to that exactly and actually i kind of need money so do you have that footage

because we i did a little uh undercover customer instead of undercover boss undercover customer called the customer or called that muggabug was like hey is this the muggabug of marlton and they're like yeah we'll go to marlton i'm like no is this the muggabug of marlton she's like yeah i'm like no it's fucking not on the muggabug of marlton you bitch and uh i was and then we like look back and she was like yeah we go to marlton yeah so i don't know how much they were exactly stealing clients but fuck those guys dude you know that's a really good name muggle bug it's incredible our uh the business logo is um if you see the truck it's outside uh it's a bug with a purse and there's a guy like a like a burglar stealing the person bashing it in the head what kind of

bug it looks like kind of like a roach but honestly you kind of feel bad for like the way its eyes are because it was just on the business card i'm like nah put it on the fucking truck and the car on the car you can't really like, nah, put it on the fucking truck. And on the card, you can't really see the eye. And then they blew it up. And it looks like the bug's in a lot of pain. I've seen the logo. It looks unbelievable.

What kind of bug is robbing the person? No, no. The bug's getting robbed. The bug's getting robbed. The bug's getting robbed. Just like a burglar type of human being. Yeah. And he's got like a nice little bat like a like a

and he's just bashing this bug in the head and looks like the bugs like i don't know i was just trying to go to work that's how you got to differentiate like a lot of places will kill bugs you'll take everything they love yeah you'll rob them when i was little this is i guess hindsight into my job of being actually now this is probably it could have went really bad but i used to like my sisters were kind of bitches sometimes so i would like find a daddy long leg and we'd eat popcorn all the time and i pluck off all the legs and i throw the fuck because it looks like a popcorn kernel seed that didn't pop i just threw it in there and then when they were done they're like what's that one looking

like it's a fucking spider you dumb bitches oh shit because they used to like suck on them so they get the butter off them and i'm like yeah that's fucking spider idiot no butter on the spider damn that's kind of sadistic but i love it yeah and i was like i grew up i'm like that could have been bad yeah it's like i really liked when i plucked the legs off a lot yeah that's very early serial killer behavior to be like i actually felt really bad for him like ah man now he's got no legs because kind of like you know when you see a zombie movie and it's just like the zombie's head gets cut off and it's still like i'm hungry that's kind of what it was doing that's a long process of like at no point it probably takes i would guess anywhere from two to four minutes

to totally strip a daddy long leg of the legs well yeah because i can't believe you got like four legs through and you weren't like i might not do this so yeah the first two they both come off at the same time and then you still got four left and he's like oh shit let's get out of here and then he does it twice do you kill the daddy long leg first and then do it because you have to be i guess you have to be careful with that as well because you don't want to squish the head or the body yeah well no you just leave it a lot you leave it alive you just kind of have them by the legs and then i didn't have like it down to a science i think i only done it like twice kind of sounds like you did have it's honestly you go to the right leg first then you go to the

thorax then you get the back left leg and you gotta put them down you gotta put them under yeah no i just do the whatever bill cosby was using you just put it in your own soda you put a pill in the bug's wine it's the pill is the size of the bug but uh yeah it's a cool way you should do that as part of like your service of like do you want me to kill them or you want me to like really make them you want me to tell a friend kind of behavior you want to torture them you want me to put sitting indian style in somebody's basement pulling apart like spider legs leave a horse head on their their anthill horsefly head yeah dude one time actually so uh my neighbor came over and we were fiddling around with uh there was like a bunch of flies in the uh in my garage and he got a lighter and

there was just this fly buzzing around and he just went like that and then i just watched it drop and i looked at it and the fly was running around he burned the wings off of the fly and then the fly was still alive so like i never it was just a a walk. He was he wasn't a fly anymore. He was just he was a walk. He was just a walk. He was just walking around. I'm like, I guess just become an ant. I don't know what else to tell you.

You got just downgraded. You're just you lost your your your badge, your fucking wings or whatever. He had to be so embarrassed when he goes back to his fly buddies. That's yeah. He's just like he was like faking it. I roll my ankle. I can't fly buddies. Yeah, he was like faking it. Oh, I rolled my ankle. I can't do it. Sorry, guys.

I got like two little sticky notes and tried to tape it on his back because he still had the little shoulder things that moved. And that didn't work. He just died. So as you can tell, Cody's an expert exterminator. Damn. A 007.

So you've been exterminating. It's a family business, right? Yeah. Yeah. So I've been exterminating i guess it's a family business right yeah yeah so i've been exterminating probably now i didn't do it like i would go watch my dad do it like when i was young i went uh to work with him one day and he just wanted me to see how like the pesticides works there's this big ass spider outside so he's so he hits it he's like all right just watch this and i'm watching the spider and it's nothing happening like a minute goes by and all of a sudden he just starts eating its web and then he spins some crazy fucking web like it looked like he was on acid or something it was like beautiful it was like i think charlotte's web was just someone had sprayed her with pesticides and

she was on her way out she's like i can fucking talk now uh and then it does that and then drops down and then goes back up real quick eats the web does another one and it's a little bit less as cool but still pretty cool and then does that like eight times and and each web gets more and more fucked up and then just goes down and then he curls up you know when you see a dead spider yeah it's like the wicked witch of the west that's what they do they're like yeah i mean kids fall in love with football they watch saquon barkley hurdle a guy code falls in love just watching a bug go through the seventh stages of hell i didn't i didn't like it i was like damn dude that sucks that you just like but

most of the time you don't have to watch that. You don't see, like I kill a bunch of shit, but I don't really see it. Yeah. You know, I just leave the poison. I'm like, and then if you're a home invader, I treat it like, you know, home invader, you're going to shoot a home invader in your house, right? Yeah. You're going to shoot a fucking spider, but you know, you don't use a gun.

It'll fuck up your place. So you just use pesticides. And then, and then you come back and it's like, yeah, I guess it worked. He shouldn't have been around there. Don't come around here no more. I do like that. You put the poison down. You put the pesticides down.

And then you come back to clean up the body. No, I don't come back. But every now and again, you go back to customer's house. They're like, it must be working. A lot of dead things. How do we not say them? I'm like, I don't know. Be less buggy, dude.

So what are you what what pays the bills we're talking like rats we're talking spiders we're talking bigger stuff yo hello kyle what are you doing nothing sitting here watching the game smoking some thrive are you all alone? Wadda! Wadda! Who's that? Yo, pick up the phone! Wadda! Wadda! Wadda! Wadda!

Wadda! Wadda! Yo, Cheeto! Pick up the phone! Yo! Wadda! Wadda! Wadda! Wadda! Wadda! Wadda! What you doin', son? Nothing. Just chillin'. Killin'. what you doing son nothing just chilling killing true true

so um in the in the winter time mice will keep me my business alive just because uh during the summer uh busy as hell with mostly ants like if i had a teardrop tattoo for every ant i killed i'd just be doing blackface you know like uh that's it's the amount of things i've killed i i don't really know the number on it but it's got to be in close to the billions it's got to be yeah i was gonna say it's got to be like it's got like i probably ended eight billion lives dude i mean it's i always like i'm like yeah it's pound for pound it's probably adolf but if we're going on a numbers game it's probably most other exterminators but i would think i mean i don't know i know you're a sensitive guy like me it's does it ever make you sad dude i cried one time at a customer's house and i had to like hide it it wasn't it wasn't

in it wasn't the i killed the wrong target it wasn't oh it wasn't the, I killed the wrong target. It wasn't. Oh shit. His son? Yeah, his baby boy, man. I was like, oh, I could have swore that was impossible. You know how kids are. They're how ugly they are sometimes. I started bashing it. No, I went to this one person's house. So a lot of the times, like, it's like Hornets and stuff.

That's what really, that's the big money, you know? And those are the fun jobs because like, I might die. So it's die uh so it's those ones that get you up up in the morning yeah yeah because it's like it's it's money it's a high high stake high reward i'm like let's fucking go i have like a b-suit i could put on but i don't because i like to give them a fucking chance you know i like that that's cool my customers are like that's cool but also will i get sued and i'm like maybe if i might die under your deck i might come for you yeah but um no the so i was like spraying for um yellow jackets in the ground and i just this uh in medford lakes so it's very woodsy area they have like a canoe in their or a kayak in their backyard and i just hear this scratching around in the kayak and i look in it and there's a squirrel that's stuck in there and he can't get out.

And the kayak's like up against a tree. So the bottom of it, it's filled with water. And I'm like, oh, shit, this dude. And he's like soaked. So he's been trying to get out of there for probably a few days or something. And he looks exhausted. So I'm like, I'm going to help you, dude. So I like put the kayak down and I'm trying to like get him out.

And he's like, doesn't trust me. So he I swear to God, at one point, he like he's like get him out and he's like doesn't trust me so he just i i swear to god at one point he like he's like on his back and he looks at me and instead of like i had like this pole i was trying to like grab this and i'll take you out of the water he like put his head back and just like breathed in and like i think he drowned himself damn i was just like oh and i'm like my customer was like ah whatever it's just a squirrel and i'm like with my customer was like, ah, whatever. It's just a squirrel. And I'm like, with the pole, I'm trying to give it like CPR.

I'm like, no, we're not going to lose this fucker. And then she's like, ah, whatever. Don't even worry about it. I'm like, this is for me at this point. And then she's like, can you at least take it with you? And I ended up killing it. And she's like, don't worry about it. I'm like, yeah, no. Why would I give a shit about this fucking squirrel, dude?

Dude, what do you think it was about you that like it saw you and was like, I'd rather kill myself than let this man help me? I think he could read. I think he saw. He think he saw. He's like an exterminator. No. Yeah. Not by my.

Yeah, he's like, maybe he was a Japanese squirrel. He wanted to die with honor. True. He stabbed himself in the chest. What was that in Shogun? Yeah. Yeah, he did some seppuku. But they don't have swords, so drowning themself was it.

And then I felt there's actually a few things. I found dead birds one time. My mom doesn't know this, but her backyard is basically a pet cemetery. So I bring them back and I bury them. And I'm like, you put them like your mom's backyard yeah yeah well you know they deserve a proper burial you're like assassin's creed you like shut their eyes put some coins on them i just had a terrible perception of of exterminators i thought you guys just got off on like killing no i probably a lot of them not me i i fell into this business like dad was an external

and he didn't give a shit i don't think he might have gotten upset one time i cried because i killed a really big rat and it looked like a cat like there's a it was that it was that big yeah i exterminate this grocery store somewhere i won't we have comp uh patient confidentiality yeah actually i don't it's that uh don't, but out of respect for, I like these people. And also, like, it's a grocery store. You're going to, like, all the grocery stores have

fucking rodents going around on their shit. But that's why they call me. And I don't do a good job. It's great promotion. Call Muggabug for a little extra. Call the other shitty one. Your exterminator does a bad job

and he cries at the end. I'm like, right so i go with these snap traps these big ass snap traps and the first night i go i uh i i kill it one of them but there's no evidence of the actual rat itself. It's just its spinal cord and just blood all over the place. So I guess all the other rats ate it. Fuck. Oh, my God. Yeah.

So the next morning, and I got to go to this. It's a grocery store, so I got to go like 5.30, 4.30 in the morning. I go the next morning, didn't know I was going to have to get called in. I actually drank the night before, so I couldn't start my truck because I have two DUIs and I have a breathalyzer on it so I had that I feel like a DUI comes with an extermination yeah it's nice to have to blow into a breathalyzer when you're in a truck filled with pesticides yeah it's just like well at least I know I'm hot like usually I'd be like careful with my breath now I'm like it's no what's the fucking point you know this is this business will will take my life that kind of beats like chewing gum like if a cop smells like mint on your breath makes you drink it it's no what's the fucking point this is this business will will take my life

that kind of beats like chewing gum like if a cop smells like mint on your breath it's just pure pesticide it's like is that a repellent you've been drinking repellent dude did you read again yeah yeah so uh shit what was that oh yeah um so i go i have to have my girlfriend drive me to like you know know, go clean out these rat traps. And she just has a picture of me like crying, holding this big ass fucking rat. Because it looked like one of my like, I don't know, just looked like way too big of a thing for me to kill.

Yeah. And I'm just like, what the fuck did I do? And I was still like hungover or like drunk. So I was just very emotional. Just like, oh, man, I didn't. I just threw that one in the dumpster. I don't i don't bury rats okay i don't bury rats at least a squirrel a bird i buried a snake his name was sticky he didn't make he got stuck in do you need more your victims no this this one wasn't he wasn't the target audience either uh damn he uh i have these sticky traps in

my garage and uh sticky uh got stuck in the sticky traps and i it was just a little ring neck snake and i like got oil and i was able to get him unstuck and then we were playing for a bit i gave him some water i thought i was gonna invent like a really good snake i'm like oh sticky snake that's like half the battle right yeah it turns out they can't really move uh after that and i was like came out the next day he was just dead i'm like fuck no no i'm sticky and then i buried him just i can't get over just like all your clients just watching you have a mental breakdown every time you kill anything they ask you to it's she was on the other foot too i got a bunch of crazy clients as well like i had um yeah they gotta be insane like the

mixed bag it's gotta be there's a few of them because some people see bugs some people have bugs and then some people see bugs and there's no bugs like i've had a customer one time like every time i go there uh and i wasn't certain if she was losing her mind or not i go there she's like i have all these bugs everywhere like the stuff isn't working i'm like okay like what do you where what is it where are they what are you talking about and she's like i have some i save some i'm like okay which sounds crazy but people do save bugs for me and i'm like that's a fucking black widow that's crazy that you got that uh yo this is a black widow the biggest one i've ever seen and see that red dot that means it can fucking kill you.

This boy, well, it's a girl. It's a female. The red dot means it's a female. I don't know if you can see it, but yeah, dude, that's crazy. I've never seen one that big. They hang onto the bug, and then they put it in a bag or something,

and be like, what's up with this guy? This guy's all over the place. I'm like, that's a, hold on. Let me look at that. So this bartender that doesn't know how to make the drink. Oh yeah. You want to fucking old fashioned for sure. Okay. Here you go. It's like, this isn't the big ice cube I asked for. But, uh, so, uh, she's like, here, I guess I'll show you. And then, so she like shows me she doesn't she doesn't have a bag for it just in her fucking hand and she shows me and i'm like well that's um

a sunflower seed we don't yeah that's ranch that's ranch that's good flavor actually uh it's one of the best flavors and then she's like okay but what about this i'm like well that's the kernel for from the sunflower seed yeah that's the inside of it and she's like i swear these were everywhere i'm like maybe your husband was eating sunflower seeds or something and then like i didn't see like i stopped i used to go inside that house to exterminate and then they switched to i just go and spray the exterior of the foundation of their house and i have and see her because like the husband was i was like telling him i'm like yeah she's like thinks of those bugs everywhere it's like sunflower seeds so i don't know and he's like oh yeah and then like the other day i

was spraying around the outside and i looked up like at the back door with like a glass door and she's just staring at me like like in like a horror movie like a robe just like doesn't look anything close to the way she looked like like i guess she really did what like was losing her mind and i just was like had that one person that was like that i was like i think she might be losing her mind like and then yeah that's gotta be the worst kind of dimension to have is like she just got in like son of a letter seeds and every time she spits one out she's like oh my god it's ranch love just all day you're just like oh god these spiders are my battle i'm gonna put this in my sister's popcorn yeah that's fine one day my sisters will turn into that lady that's that that was the goal after years of eating daddy long legs you

have to that's the only goal you got yeah damn so i got like customers like that but then i got the opposite like people that do have a lot of bugs and don't mind them like oh they live in like a townhouse and i'll have a customer that's next door to theirs and they keep getting roaches only on one side of their apartment complex i'm like well that's because it's your next door neighbor and they're going to come back every time you don't have me spray because they just probably are loaded with roaches so they finally called like the landlord and the landlord calls that guy he's like listen if you don't have call this exterminator and have him come in we're gonna kick you out so he calls me i go to do the job i don't know what to expect i ring the door and this dude that looks like Wario from Mario Party answers with cowboy boots on.

Of course. And I'm like, hold on. I forgot something from the truck. And I go to the truck and I text somebody like, yo, if I don't text you back in a half hour, I'm at this address and he's got me. That's scary. I was just like, I don't know what this guy's up to. But I go in there. He's got a coffee mug.

There's a roach crawling on it on the coffee mug that he's drinking from. Now, are you dealing with a lot more like hoard quarters or you're dealing more with just regular people who want you to come out most of the time it's like people with nice homes and just like maybe getting some ants and stuff or like just like little like it's i do have my group of customers where i'm like okay watch where you step in this house and it's going to be sad in here. It's like, oh, okay, you have bugs for a reason. A lot of people just, most of my customers is maintenance and just like

pre-antive shit. But then you get this guy who's just got, and he even said, he's like, I don't even mind. I like these guys. He was just like, and then eventually he's like, yeah, actually there's a few that now, after doing it for a year, he's like, this is pretty good. I like having coffee without roaches in it.

I'm like, you're opening new horizons for these people. You never know how low someone is where it's like, I never even thought that you could live like that. Yeah. Holy shit. That's unbelievable. You're like, wait, I get bug free? I saw Anson here one time in my apartment and i like had no idea what to do so i did like

your method that you had told me is step on them you said to go to see if you can crush them all and i was like all right cody told me to crush them so i just went around i was tap dancing on these fuckers how did you get a high score i did pretty good because you can get about nine or ten with one stop yeah yeah one stop yeah i always say just put on like dance revolution or cha-cha slide yeah cha-cha slide yeah cha-cha real smooth no it was i mean it worked until like gab came out of the bedroom and saw me doing it when you see your huge orange boyfriend like tapping on your shitty linoleum floor you don't have sex for at least a month nothing good comes out of that yeah it's even

longer if you use your hands why would you smack that's how you really I feel like if I worked just to change it up I'd want to smack around like what's the what's the largest body you are are able condition to uh dispose of like um what do you mean like like weight wise or well I guess like I think i'm like there's a very gray area about aliens that i'm interested like okay it's just like if what if there was like just another species from another planet that was here and i saw it and they're like we got like eight of these in our backyard i don't know i don't think there's like a weight limit to it like i think like i think the actual creature would be like a raccoon. Okay, that's probably as big as you go. I don't...

Nope, I won't even kill a chipmunk. I like chipmunks. Mice. Mice is as big as you go. Yeah, something that has squirrels. I'm going to call somebody else, dude. I like that squirrel. That's actually a very good point.

With all the UAPs now, we might just have to call in the exterminators to deal with these fucking guys. You guys are the best equipped to handle a foreign body nobody's kind of familiar with. No one understands. He won't even fucking go after raccoons. He loves them too much.

Cody himself is not the most equipped. We're going to trust Cody on the intergalactic war. He'll be second battalion. He'll be the guy like stationed in like Germany. He'll be like Frankfurt. Yeah, we're fighting in Iraq. Cody's in Germany.

Instead of like a flamethrower, I'm just probably pesticides with the leaf blower. He's in reserves right now. Yeah, I... The pesticides become like a war crime. It's actually inhumane to kill the aliens. I just got lit on my tank. It just says Lil Hiroshima.

It's like, yeah, yeah. Oh my God, man. So what's it like running your own business coming back? Like obviously your father was his father, a part of it. Nah, nah, nah. What got your pops into it? Do you know? Uh, I think like our exterminator just wanted to sell it.

And my dad was like, so what's that about? And then real go getter. And it's like, it's extermination is like super lucrative and shit like you don't gotta like pesticides aren't that expensive and uh like as long as you have clients uh you're pretty good you're pretty set and also like even during covid and shit people still were like we'll leave our house come in kill the bugs like it's and i'm trying to make the bugs bigger just invent ways to make bugs bigger. So that way I can charge more money.

It's just about like I don't need to kill the trip somewhere else. I just need to make bugs bigger and, you know, improve my worth. Well, they might be getting they might be getting bigger because all the growth hormones in our food, like the ants are just trying to get to our food. Yeah. So they're munching our stuff. And I think some of them are getting into like pre-workout or cocaine i saw a full-on ant war outside of one of my customers house one time dude it was fucking cool yeah it was kind of scary because i like i don't even know how i like figured it out because i'm just like looking i'm like that's a different color why are they all these ants like

lined up and like charging at each other and shit? And there was, like, two different colonies. And I was looking, and they're killing each other. Like, two ants from one colony would go up to this other ant from the other from both sides, grab its legs, and just start backing up and rip it in half. Damn. Oh, my God. And that's their only kill move, I'm pretty sure. I didn't really see any other kill moves, but they were all doing that.

They weren't, like, fire ants. It wasn't, like, Bloods vs. Crips. I think it was Bloods vs. Crips they were all doing that. They weren't fighting fire ants. It wasn't like Bloods vs. Crypt. I think it was Bloods vs. Crypt. Tell me the deal. Damn. You were dealt with a fire ant? No. I was in Florida and one bit me on the toe one time and I was like, that fucking sucks.

But someone had said they had fire ants. I didn't see any fire ants. I think a bull ant is like, that can kill you, right? Bull ants? Oh, is those the ones in like Africa or something? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. I haven't heard.

It was like Alaskan bull warm type of ant like deal or. A spongebob cat. You just pull out like a big red sheet. I'm trying to figure what the bull ant is. I think I saw like the like the tribes in Africa would put their hand in a glove with like a like 100 bull ants or whatever and they have to wear it for like 12 hours and then they get like that's like their initiation to whatever their tribe is or whatever so i mean they probably are just used to it i think if you have some sort of allergic reaction you get stung by like anything that has adrenaline in it it can give you like a heart attack and die damn well for what i know i think there's bull ants in like

north philly but it's like b-o-u-l and they're like over there he's his name's anthony he stays in strawberry mansion he good people that's bull anthony you don't want to see bull ant over there so back to your dad so your dad just started out because your exterminator was retiring uh yeah my dad was like in between jobs and was just like oh yeah this could be like a good job. And it was until maybe the pesticides killed him. We're not certain. Well, that's the thing. It's got to be like working in the coal mines.

The coal mines are killing you. You're around pesticides so much. There's definitely ways. I got to look at the wind. I'm like a golfer. I'm about to spray. I grab the grass and I throw it. I'm like, okay, I'm going to spray this way. And then somehow the wind. I'm about to spray. I grab the grass and I throw it. I'm like, okay, we got to spray this way.

And then somehow the wind, I forget about trade winds. But you're so honest. I got to spray with every color of the wind. So I wanted to start dyeing my pesticides just so it was green. That'd be fun for people to watch. True. If you do LGBT houses and you just do rainbow spray. That's awesome.

Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah, I would just have to have each one like a certain density so like layer you had a layer you'll have like a drag show in the background to fight fifth graders over to watch i like that yeah that'd be nice but yeah i wear like uh like one of those uh breathing masks and like a shield and stuff and then sometimes i'll be like i don't really i'm hungover this doesn't matter i'm dying anyway are you are you like bug guy kill the bug in your house guy uh yeah but my my fiance says that if i step on the cockroaches so we're in an old warehouse yeah not supposed to step on them so instead we just get the 409 and we just spray them and then i put like a solo cup on top of them

and just hope that it kills it and then i quickly do like a whole pickup stuff and then throw it into the um throw it into the uh the toilet and i really just wish i could just step on it you can spray and then put the cup over it yeah and sometimes i'll flip oh it's pretty cool yeah because you could go die somewhere else where you don't want them to and also not put them in the trash can and then the toilet is the right move because that's why you're not supposed to step on them because if you step on them uh if it's pregnant the eggs will just be in the cracks in the cracks of your shoes and then you just got i can see you being a humongous pussy when it comes to bugs what gave that away everything about me so is gab the bug bug gal most of the time it's just her and i stare at them and we're like god i wish they weren't. You guys are like two cats. That's what I said.

I go to kill them. Really, it's shul. And then they flex. You're like, all right. Early in the relationship, I try to go big dog. She'd be like, oh, my God, there's a spider in the bathroom. I'm like, what? Who cares about that guy?

I don't go get it. And then I don't let her watch. And I close the bathroom door. I'm like, it's just you and me in here, man. You don't have to be here. There's tons of cracks. This place was built like shit. Exactly. That's what I wanted to do. i wanted to turn the business into just no no pesticides pesticides free we just communicate with these bugs and ask them to leave but unfortunately

songs are very unreasonable yeah and sonar's got to be pretty expensive exactly yeah exactly you can't it's it turns into a very less lucrative business all of a sudden what do you just come bottom line on sonar's getting out of control right now it's really funny the idea of like a very like liberal thing is like we don't need to send a cop send a social worker you could be the social worker like exterminator yeah you sit down and you're like what made you act like this what happened in your bulk childhood well my mom's like oh fuck that that anxious shot was cool well my mom ate my dad immediately after conceiving me because that's so now i kind of have fear of everything.

Do we still respect the prey mantis? I always respected the prey mantis, but also like there was that thing going. I don't think they ever were in danger. So I have like a conspiracy theory about prey mantises that actually a decent amount of them are actually just robots controlled by the CIA to control on us, like to spy on us, because I looked into their eyes when I was really high one time, and it looked like little recording symbols. I'm like, oh, you think you're going to fucking spy on me? And I killed it, and nothing happened.

It was illegal. No cops came. No nothing. Yeah, there's a bunch of conspiracy theories about, like, you go to jail if you kill, like, a praying mantis. Yeah. Yeah. That's not true, right? I don't think so. I don't think anyone's been in the slammer for uh a praying

mantis kill well freeze bitch i got you on camera now it's a sting operation chris hansen get the fuck in here take a seat and split this dude i was exterminating someone's house though and i um i saw a praying mantis and i watched it like caught a fly and just started eating its face that's sick and i have a video of that too i have a video of the bug the ant war also i was spraying I saw it prey mantis and I watched it like caught a fly and just started eating its face sick And I have a video of that too I have a video of the bug the ant war also I was spraying an ant and then a spider dropped down and they got into like a pestle it was like almost like ky jelly match between

The ant and the spider because they both got hit with the pesticides and it was like who's gonna die first because of the pesticides Or because of the murder they both just kind of like died on their own So somebody got into your phone and they hacked into your phone and they saw all your bug videos it'd be like either like this guy is insane yeah wow now just with all the other correlating videos that's yeah i mean there's nothing wrong with a pro athlete study film it's just cody going over the film there's some nice ones sometimes i just so like i said like they're saying baby uh or pre-mandices are like on the verge of extinction but i saw 30 babies in my backyard like the other a few years ago so there's like at least 30 left we're good yeah like i got 30 back here dude

you worry about them they're good yeah but dude the baby ones were and they were super like they were like all dancing and shit so i have a cool video of them dancing. And so it's not all kill, kill, kill. Some of them are like, make them dance for it. Do you think you're more Dr. Doodle or do you think you're more Steve Zahn's character from Sammy Silverman? Oh, man. I think I'm a mixture of the two. Wow.

Yeah. Because some things, so like me and Hornets are at a constant. I don't have, I don't really care about the Hornets. Those are your boys? I mean, those are your enemies? enemies yeah those guys can go fuck off um like it's just that's just like there are rivals you know those guys are rivals so i mean there's been a few times where like my buddy has like a big big like some of the nests are like this big yeah and uh they're filled with them and they uh hornets can keep stinging you over and over again yes so they also

have like an aerial attack too where i feel like a lot of your a lot of your victims and a lot of your enemies are more on the ground so i feel like they are definitely fighting in another playing field that i think like exterminators they should not have to worry about hornets i think you guys should be b-free yeah i that i so i was thinking of i have a few inventions to take care of that but like because like i was actually really high up on a ladder. So it's like what you're saying, I'm kind of like out of my elements, like fighting a shark in the water or whatever. Yeah.

Or like having a shark come fight me out of water. I think I might take it. 100%. So I'm up actually at this point I already sprayed it and I'm clearing the fucking nest out and I'm up pretty high. I guess one of them fell like that was still kind of alive on my stomach and I'm getting down from the ladder and i'm like and it fucking stung me and i my reaction is to just fucking jump backwards would you have a crop top on yeah it's just dude they can see wasn't it a crop top i did the britney spears like the belly thing yeah it's like it was hot that day sting me maybe one more time

every time i start to spray i put on toxic don't you know that but thank god i was only like two stairs from the top like so i didn't die uh but i'm like if i they got me at the top it probably would be a pair of bleach i uh i learned this from tiktok um you just fill up gasoline in a bucket and you just put it over the hornet's nest. Yeah. And it's so funny when they don't do it right. Right. Oh, yeah.

Because they get stung the fuck up. Yeah. So what happens was you put gasoline in a bucket and then you put it over the nest and then they slowly just fall. Suffocate, basically. Suffocate, yeah. And then they drop into it. But people will do it.

You have to be good. Yeah. If you don't do it it quick enough now there's one flying around stinging your hand so you're gonna drop it and now they're all after you and you're covered in gasoline one lights a match yeah yeah that's actually what's pyro but yeah that's actually what happened to that monk guy they should do psa so they did for like for a thanksgiving they're like do not deep fry your turkey. It's like, also don't cover the hornets in gasoline. Just call the exterminator. People say, does that work?

I'm like, yeah, do it. Go ahead. Yeah, give it a shot. Do it and call me. Yeah. Well, that's why, I mean,

Cody is a jack of many trades where he's a exterminator, but did recently, and I don't know how much you'd like to get into this. We did get into a little bit of a stint as a private inspector or private investigator yeah i was

private eye for a bit yeah this is different than the guy the person you're gonna track down to try to steal mugabug oh yeah no this is completely different yeah wait yeah i didn't even think i could have used my own services to do that have you ever thought about opening up another wing of the office being a private investigator i mean now yeah i mean i'm down for any ideas if you guys would like that but i mean you guys looking for part-time work whatever gets the money you don't look at that give your eye on that for me i don't know what that's guys not too much oh he's drinking again oh there is yeah i was doing some private eye stuff but it was like for a slip and fall law firm so it's a lot of like and i'm not work like i'm working for the people that are like oh there's a crack can i ask how you get into

this how you found your way into this uh one of my buddies was just like hey this guy is looking for uh privatized shit you want to do it then like i'm like thinking it's going to be somewhat professional and like the dudes like like i call I call the guy the main lawyer in it. They own the law firm. And he's just like, yeah, what kind of fucking truck you drive? I'm like, an extermination truck. He's like, perfect. So he's like, I'm driving in.

I go in disguise and go to places and be like, I'm here to fix this. I'm not. I'm here to measure it and then sue your balls off. Yeah. Because people have tripped on it. And now they're suing like a wawa or some shit and uh yeah that's that's kind of it I allegedly broke into a house and got a picture of a stair uh that was pretty cool and you mask yourself as an exterminator I didn't I didn't at that point I was just well the truck's outside of the house so they're like yeah that's just an exterminator. Don't work.

Yeah, I was going to say, I didn't know if it would be like the most undercover car you could take or the most obvious car where it just has like your name and phone number on it. I think it would have been, it's like the, it's the closest one because everyone would be like, oh, what about a flower? Like those trucks that all the FBI is always using. It's like a flower van or some shit. Yeah. Like a bouquet roses van.

I'm like, nah, everyone's going to know that something's up with that yeah it's Scooby and the gang roll up with that yeah the truck the truck is kind of infamous around here and like just get people like honk like I get customers based off of the like I don't have bugs I like that name yeah come on over yeah I like the all right when they get there what happens if they don't have books i just sprayed the house and they're like here's some money and i'll let all right so you next see you in a month sweet yeah some of my best customers are just like just really love to help out local but he's like you you guys how many employees you got like it's me my mom they're like you're hired i'm like sweet yeah that is that love that that is nice it makes sense too because if you don't really think about like if i mean obviously i rent but like if i had a house it's basically like if i had it was like hey my toilet

keeps if you're that scared of bugs yeah it's like my toilet keeps exploding i need somebody to help and you'll pay anything like you just need it to be done if you see like roaches and like bugs walking around i would do the same thing yeah yeah we've had in the last year a couple of times an exterminator has to come out because we're in an old refurbished warehouse so yeah cockroaches are like all the time they're they're they're it's funny to see like which bugs like don't go this year i'm like it's like stocks cockroaches are back yeah like cockroaches are taking like you should have got them in got them in on her when shit got in early on them and sold when you're at top i uh i would take cockroaches 10 times out of 10 over mice. Yeah. Mice. We had one mouse, one mouse at my old place, and just crawling on the oven and crawling

on the counter and stuff. That just finding mouse shit bothers the fuck out of me. And it ruins the entire space, too. It's not just like I saw it once. I don't even go to that part of the house anymore. I can't even look at it. At least the cockroaches are on land. Yeah. i can't even look at the same cockroaches are on on their their on land yeah the the the mice so

for me if it's like a big mouse problem like there's a certain tipping point where i'm like the mice have won there's too many mice here they have now taken this place there's probably another exterminator that has something to do like knows how to do this but they're in the ceilings and shit like but if it's like that situation i'd rather the mice over cockroaches because cockroaches come back like pretty strong each time if i just come in with the right bait the bait i have for the mice they go they eat it and when they eat it they like get thirsty so they go outside looking for water and when they drink the water it activates the chemical so they die they don't die in your

house pretty nifty pretty nifty pesticides there. And you can't get it like at normal stores. You got to get your pesticides license and go to Resodex or whatever. And then you can get that shit. So there is like licensing about certain things that you buy to use when you're actually exterminating the house. Yeah. So I'm not like there's a whole separate termites license. I got like basically any type of other bug besides termites.

And then there's even like if you're like a landscaper there's another we're all in the same wheelhouse if you're a landscaper you also have to get like whatever pesticides you use to spray on uh yards and shit and then you have to do some bullshit like courses and stuff and uh with a lot of farting old men and uh yeah they all they're always farting man um yeah i think that's what it is it's just like a pesticides fart. It's like, yeah, I got hit in the face today. That's the worst. You like spraying something and the gust of wind is just like, can't.

You're like, oh. What smells worse? Shower fart or a pesticides fart? The pesticides fart. Damn. Because there's no. Spoiler. It's like a lax.

It's a little poison. Yeah. Are we saying shower farts don't smell great? Is that what we're laying on? I like shower farts, but they are the smelliest of farts. I think they smell sometimes terrific, especially if I just got in there with a little bit of body wash. Oh, my God. Are you like trying to blow bubbles?

I don't try to, but if it happens, I go, what a beautiful surprise. It's a dirty bubble. Another SpongeBob reference. That's too SpongeBob. It looks fucking good. Yeah, your exterminator loves SpongeBob, by the way. I don't know if you know he's got he's got photos

and pictures of bugs videos of bugs he loves Spongebob he's wearing a crop top anybody who wants an autistic exterminator it's just making your clients put it

onto the background it was actually funny I was like you have to get every five years you have to get recertified and I'm like taking all these

courses online so I'm taking the courses and they're saying bug facts and I'm also watching Love on the Spectrum and I just like felt like i was also on a date do you think autistic people would probably could be good exterminators because they love bugs so much yeah yeah i think so yeah probably why don't we have an entire school of just autistic people becoming exterminators i mean we can start one right now why not let's let's do it that's where your bottom line is yeah that's

see that we're that we're cooking we're always cooking we're always cooking. We're always cooking. We've always got ideas. Because I wanted to expand, and I think that's the best way. Just hiring autistic dudes? Yeah. But what if they start to befriend the bugs and they turn against you? That's true. That's always on the table. They're a king bug.

Yeah, that's probably what's going to happen, too. Yeah, I mean, but you just got to flow with where it's going. And I know that's going to happen, but they're still making AI. And we all know where that's going to lead. We're all going to get killed by the robots. And I'm going to get fucked over by all these alt-ex people working for me because they're going to take over and join the bugs. And it's just something that we're going to have to experience in the human world. Once the alt-ex join the bugs, we're done for.

Do you ever get PETA interactions where sometimes animal protective agencies are going at you? Not an actual agency or anything, but've had like people come up to me it's usually like i was spraying some yard someone had cicada killers which i don't know if you guys seen those things they're like this fucking big they're scary they're pretty they're pretty scary looking yeah yeah and uh they're like black and yellow and uh there's one person had them all over the yard so i'm spraying the yard and some guy's like hey what are you doing i'm like killing these bugs man he's like can you not i'm like no what are you who are you why are you he's like and then he's like all right yeah no i understand you're just doing your job but like i keep bees right over there and my bees are gonna go in this

yard and they're gonna die i'm like shit man i don't know tell you like i wish i and then he actually like i like we were kind of like talking i'm like i wish there was something i could do but like he's just gonna call somebody else if i don't do it he's like yeah you're right and then he took me over and showed me all this bees i'm like that's pretty cool man i hope they don't die i'm gonna kill your honeybees man why is he keeping bees don't keep bees dude you gotta save the bees i'll save the bees are bees are big for the environment, right? Fuck you, dude. Just kind of bees. Yeah. Just be kind in general.

You got to be nice to them. If you see bees, just be nice to them. See, we're not- Fuck bees. I'm sorry. I'll 100% fuck bees. That's cool. That's cool. You're fine.

So you guys are the ones- You're a guest, but you know what? Fuck bees. Listen, I understand. I understand fuck bees because- Are you allergic or something? No. All right.

Just got stung like nine times one time in the cheek and I didn't love it so really are you sure it was a big not a yellow jacket there's a difference yeah oh it probably was a like i'm not scared of the wood bees i think i hate people that are scared of the big wood bees the carpenter bees like my i got fiance's so scared of the wood bees i'm like they do not sting they bite yeah i know they bite they bite i got bit by one of them yeah Yeah, someone was like, because they like drilled into mailboxes and someone was like, yeah, I think there's a carpenter bee living there and there's a hole under there. Instead of like me just looking, I'm like, I like put my finger on there. So when you attack their domicile, they bite.

What's that? You attack their domicile. You attack their house. Yeah, yeah. If you're like, they're not going to come up. Yeah, they're flying around. No, they don't bite. Most things won't fuck with you like that.

But I always hear that, but then it never seems to be that way. If you don't bother him, he won't bother you. He is flying in my general vicinity. You just got to stare right at him. He's literally landing on my head. I don't appreciate that. Just don't bug him. If there's a guy that came up to me

and he started rubbing the back of my neck, he's like, don't even look at him. You're fine. I can't. Beyonce, Beyonce's husband. yeah don't even look at him you're fine he's don't understand yeah he's no i can't beyonce beyonce's husband they don't they don't understand consent i mean bgs and that was fucking top that was incredibly top oh my god he's like he's fucking him in the face right now and he's eating and he's eating his ass dude This is like the craziest 69 I've ever seen. Oh, my. I feel bad. I've seen it a lot, so I don't really feel bad anymore.

I like when the circle of life does my job for me. Yeah, that's true. But also at the same time, then I'm like, all right, where the fuck? That's crazy. That means there's probably a nest somewhere around. Not necessarily in your yard. Yeah, I just took out like a big one the other day. Can you get rid of them?

Yeah, but if I don't know where their nest is, I can't do shit. That's so nuts, dude. Yo, he's, like, fucking fabulous. Yeah, dude. Oh, I'm scared. Let's get him back for a second. Oh, he. Oh, I'm scared. Let's get him back in for a second. Oh, he's over there. What in the fuck is going on?

Yo, he is fucking this dude up, bro. Oh, my God. Is he, like, eating him from, like... Yeah, he's just fucking... I mean, they also have like Venom Oh my god This is the craziest thing I've ever seen

You didn't hear him? Yeah Like yeah Yeah It's dead right? I think it's still alive Oh my god Yo he just tore off his

Now he's dead Hey uh Code Um School was on bed bugs Oh i don't even fuck with bed bugs anymore silent killer i won't do them so those i won't i won't do bed bugs so you met your match i met that it's just like they're gonna trojan horse me you know they're gonna come back and i've had from the stories i heard from everybody and just like the customers house

like i have to go back like eight times. And sometimes they don't have them and it's just like they're having PTSD because like it's such a fucking awful experience. You have to like – can you give the full rundown of like what bed bugs do and then what the process is? And don't take this the wrong way, but you look like a guy that has had to deal with bed bugs before. Personally, not in my bed. Good for you. I keep them out of my bed. Cody doesn't have a bed. That's his only – I have a now i feel terrible they're all top up we limit it to that we go with mattress bugs they're a lot cleanlier nice people

oh you mean my pets you're my best friends you mean the people that i feed i breastfeed with my skin yeah so there's like basically like you know little fuckers that they'll get in your beds and in the crap so they they hide during the day. They'll be in the cracks and crevices of all your shit. And then at night, they come out and they fucking munch on your blood. And then they actually swell up and you'll see, if you squish one, it'll just be a red little splatter. And that's some of your blood. Yeah, it's crazy.

It's like a mosquito. Yeah, exactly. A little mosquito. And they're just so small. And since they're in the cracks and crevices of couches and shit like you could you could spray and you could put anything down but they just repopulate so quickly that the next like you literally have to vacuum every square inch under every nook and cranny and then not only that like any clothes or anything that can be washed

it's got to be thrown in the washer and then you gotta do that like three to five times and then you might be like halfway done the process yeah the breeding is the worst they breed like they breed like a bunch of catholics in the 1950s man it's insane yeah yeah it's true dude so dad bed bug gets home from work and he beats the shit out of the wife and then yeah yeah exactly but then they but then they breed and you have to end up going through an entire process of putting all your shit in the jar yeah how do we on a daily basis when you're also trying to just do your normal life shit and then you're like out and you're like fucking yeah god damn

and then you have all the scars from it it's uh and i'm just like you know what like have you gotten bed bugged yeah i got bed bugged what happened uh the house next to me in philadelphia was being condemned and they were going through it and the bed bugs just came through the air vent no way that's usually what happens it's like people people get really like i'm not like get really upset like like they call me and they're like i'm not dirty i don't i'm like i know someone near you they're on a septa bus they're on i mean they say a lot of hotel rooms people get them because they jump on your suitcase and everything and then you're traveling that on a plane or traveling on a car yeah then you gotta go back oh it's dude it bet getting bed bugs will ruin a month of your

life yeah think twice about getting that fucking sick piece of furniture for free on facebook marketplace yeah or picking that one up that's uh that's on the sidewalk yeah yeah yeah but why why would we like you hear a lot of stuff about like all right this bug does do bad stuff like bees like if they suck they're annoying but they pollinate which that means nothing to me but like bed bugs what do they do that we can't just get rid of all of them at once? We don't need that much blood. Are you using the word we as you are a bed bug? We don't need much blood.

No, no, no. I'm saying like the bed bugs. Maybe that's what. Oh, shit, dude. I became one of the bugs. Meet the beetle. Buddy, you're the bug. I'm the bug.

You're the fifth beetle. The plankton's got inside my head. And he's reeling the things. But that's insane. I mean, every bug has brought you by spiders. Don't kill them. You're like the Chick-fil-A mascots. Yeah, the guy in red and black.

What's that? I got the man in black. Oh, I'm sugar. Water. Yeah. He should be there for Halloween. Men in black face i just don't get the fact that like why would we keep like bed bugs mosquitoes

like termites that's a total dick move nobody eats wood why are you eating dude i want to eat wood so oh yeah you might i might be continue with that thought when you go into like a wood shop are you like oh man dude i like to fucking just just wait, because of gay stuff? No, I'm not saying that. The smell of sawdust. Is that a little less gay? Sawdust sounds like a gay stripper.

That was an 80s WWE wrestler. That's it. I just think it smells good. That's why I like my favorite foods. Snackin' is like pretzels. That tastes the most like wood good. That's why I like my favorite foods like snacking. It's like pretzels. I'm like, that tastes the most like wood probably. That's insane. That's crazy.

I think if it's like my past life, I was like a bug. And now I'm like, I'll fucking kill him. Who I am now. What bug do you think you were in the past? Because you are emotional, but you also are a cold blood killer. Maybe a ladybug. True. A Cody bug. Maybe like a ladybug true yeah a Cody bug

yeah maybe like a ladybug or something now you like the song Jitterbug uh yeah yeah I like it got the boo boo

into my heart yeah yeah yeah nice I like that Jitterbug yeah I really like that song actually nice

but then sometimes if it comes on you're really sad you're just like and you let it play you're like what the fuck are you a fan of the Beatles

yeah yeah yeah like the bug or the I was gonna say he likes the band too yeah I don't really like the bug that play you're like what the fuck it's this song are you a fan of the beatles yeah yeah like the bug or the uh i was gonna say he likes the band too yeah the i don't really like the bug that much they're they're like they fly right into you and they'll just like chill and they're like what the fuck's that and they and you think it's a scarier bug yeah beatles are cool i think beatles are really really cool because they don't really do much right yeah so i'm not like what's that let's say the pincher yeah so one. Yeah, those guys are kind of spooky. But they're not around here, I don't think.

Some of them are. Really? They're not going to pinch you, though. They're not like, you're right. Oh, okay. Yeah, but why? That's the thing. They're friends. Yeah, they're friends.

I talk to them all. I'm like, listen, guys. Yeah, what do they have to say? They're like, oh, my God, we're going to point you. Well, John, we're going to pinch him. They're just all playing the drums. How come some of us can fly? It's a great question, actually.

They all wear suits and shit. I'm like, their parents won't even know you're doing acid. I was exterminated on acid before. That's not a good idea. That's probably why I'm like this now. Because I think at first, maybe I was like, yeah, fuck these bugs. Now I'm like, yeah, but maybe I shouldn't be doing this. Yeah.

So you're getting acid trips that are actually making you like sympathize with them i was like what i think i was like depressed at the time and i'm like going around i'm watching these ants like enjoy their job walking around the house and i'm like they're probably going home getting like fucking ant antenna from their wife with like huge thoraxes yeah yeah exactly if i could yeah put that antenna on my ass and i'm just like yeah so i started thinking i'm like but then i realized i'm like they don't think like me fuck those things so i'm like i go back and forth between like it depends where i'm at mentally but now i'm just like yeah you gotta die who's the smartest bug i think primantis a real bug uh oh yeah instead of robot bug robot bug. I think spiders are wasps. Wasps, probably.

Not wasps. Mice or rats? I mean, mice are pretty smart. Rats have to be the dumbasses. I think they're dumbasses. They're like the fucking job. Yeah, they're like, you gotta play linebacker and shit. This coach would have put me in.

Yeah. I don't want to stay. Exactly. And then mice are like uh west walker hmm yeah well quick in the pocket yeah definitely yeah julianna so like there's literally like they they at this above schools they'll be like yo like you have to switch up we have to as a collective group of exterminators switch up our methods sometimes because they learn and they'll like stop it will stop like certain shit will stop working if we all use the same thing yeah i mean we had a bunch

of going back to my old apartment that we had the mouse and it was just one mouse yeah and it just it just yeah fred i met him good fella yeah tell him he fucking sucks tell him tell him i'm like you don't know him the way i do dude i'm waiting to get my revenge on that motherfucker yeah but yeah he's still around oh dude i got some i don't know i got some bait in the car i don't know him the way I do, dude. I'm waiting to get my revenge on that motherfucker. Yeah. But yeah. He's still around? Oh, dude. Dude, I got some bait. I don't know. I got some bait in the car. I don't know. I moved out.

Oh, okay. I had to move out. I hated his mouth. Yeah. But we had traps everywhere. Yeah. It was that bad? No, it wasn't that bad.

No, it wasn't. No, don't suck those rumors. Okay. It wasn't that bad. My lease was up. Yeah. Yeah, whatever, dude. My lease was up.

It's a happy coincidence. You're like, you know what? Why even worry about this problem? Your lease was up because the mace was in, dude. You couldn't stop him. You had a house in hope. I couldn't. Just put a figure.

Dude, it was like Mike Giles thought in the 90s and I was like a helpless nose tackle. He got to the second level and he got to the safety and he ran him over. He got a checkpoint. He's like, I'm going to go back down to the first level. I'm here now. Yeah. That is like insane of how inhumane it seemed to be that like other, I mean, I guess it's still around, but like mouse traps, that can't be the most efficient way that's you asked earlier like how much of a pussy

i am if it's a mouse and it gets caught i will not throw it out i can't what do you do i had my roommate do it i've only had it i've only been caught like i'm using the sticky or the snaps sticky the sticky so and it's screaming in there is he just throw so you gotta give him an honor so we went down no so what we did was smash firing squad we had a we had a trash can at the corner of our block we threw it out in there that's someone else's problem yeah i think it's probably a good move yeah i think i'll do the same thing the fact that you have to step on those is insane you just grab a brick or something drop it that's what you're supposed to do insane yeah dude the technology we have in 2024 that okay we're gonna trap them yeah but after that it's all up to you i have people like

that are like talking shit on my mouse poison i'm like dude you want me to like you want to throw out the mouse and listen to it scream now because i have poison and they'll go outside and we want to worry about this bullshit yeah because so the the technology is there it's just not for the people you have to go through me are you saying the people can't handle it? Probably. I guess not. I guess they're worried that the people are going to feed them. I mean, we can hardly handle Tide Pods.

True. It's a great point. It's true. I think – who knows? I think maybe rat poison has a little bit more of like a don't eat this. I mean, I did get pulled over one time and I had mouse poison in one of my pockets. And I was getting pulled over because, forget specifics why, but my car smelled like weed because I was smoking weed in it. Yeah, that's weird.

I was like, what the fuck is happening? And so he pulled me over. I eat the joint. And then he's like, I was smoking it. I was almost done. I ate my own poison yeah yeah he's just trying to get he was just trying to get in the mind of a rat that's exactly right method acting yeah yeah well so actually the the it's funny you say method at meth at all uh the the poison kind of looks a little bit like meth so he pulls me out like he comes up and i hear him whisper into his like tit like yeah we're gonna fucking worry because he

definitely smelled the weed coming out of the car and i comes up and I hear him whisper into his like tit like, yeah, we're going to fucking wait because he definitely smelled the weed coming out of the car. And I'm like, no, I smoked in it like two days ago. You're fine. Don't even worry about it. He's like, all right, get out of the car. I'm going to search you. He's like, get out of the car. He searches me.

He finds the fucking mice poison. So what the fuck is this? I'm like, it's meth. He's like, really? You're like, no, it's mice poison, dude. I'm like, do you look at the fucking packet or look at the truck I'm driving? Like I told you, he's like, all right, we're going to have to search your car. I'm like, good luck. There's pesticides everywhere. Yeah. I like half. I'm like, you're not. I'm like, you look at the fucking packet or look at the truck i'm driving like i told you he's like all right we're gonna have to search your car i'm like good luck there's pesticides everywhere yeah i like half i'm like you're not i'm like you're not gonna find he's like so we

search it we're not gonna find it like you won't find it that's all i said because i'm like i know it's inside me yeah so you can't find something that i ate oh my god and then like his his cop so he's looking through it his cop buddies that are watching me they thought it was funny because he's like it was like a kid cop he's like new yeah he's going through my shit and like looking back i'm like can't find anything and then they're like talking to me he's like what's the biggest thing you ever killed i'm like like one of you fuckers i said something like a i was like um like a baby he's like a baby what i'm like i played the fifth no he's did you comic in your way out of that is unbelievable he's like all right get out what? I'm like, I played the fifth. No, he's dead. Comicking your way out of that is unbelievable. He's like, all right, get out of here.

I'm like, okay. And then two weeks later, I got my second DUI. They were tracking your ass. Yeah, yeah. As you're like getting out of that, you're like, thanks, guys. Just throwing the joy back up. Is this what you were looking for? You're like, then you're like, I'm actually a magician too.

This is a Criss Angel mind freak. Yeah. Are you ready? That's not mine. Now, have you had any customers that have come on to you? There's got to be some old ladies. I was looking while you're talking. Woman falls in love with exterminator after rat invasion in her mom's house.

I could see that happening. So, she freaked out when she heard the noise of rats coming from the guest room at her mom's house in san diego next thing she knows chad piper uh well that's just like i mean it's not a porn it's a porn this is not a porn yeah this is inside edition dude this is real this is playboy they say it was love at first sight however they were both dating other people i eventually went through a breakup and then chad was just always kind of kind of on my mind next thing i know he'd followed me on instagram wow wow that's it are you you're seeing someone right yeah yeah but i haven't and even when i wasn't i always had the fantasy of it like none of them but the people is there exterminator porn sorry to cut you off

not that i was aware of i kind of had an idea where it was porn but also meets like a horror thing with like a i actually wanted to make start making my own commercials for muggabug and like get like paul carson to like be the guy who answers the door like he calls me i knock he answers the door but it's like hey are you thank god you're here it's the spider you gotta you gotta get it and i'm like all right and then he opens the door and then it's just like a dude tied up in a Spider-Man outfit. It's like, ooh, spooky spider, get him, kill him. And I'm like, all right. And then I cock a gun.

I'm like, Muggabug, we kill anything. But then I wanted to go into- I've seen that between timeouts for the Chicks' Game. Yeah. Right? You're not going to call me up and just be like, so is this a real business? Right after Toyota thought it was like Cody's kink. Secure auto insurance commercial right into the cody's mug about commercial yeah and then and then and then

there's like it goes to like that like the ad and then it goes back it's like i also have something in the basement and then we go in the basement it's just a human centipede you really thought about this i like this the reason why we haven't made it yet is can't get can't find someone to do the middle or the end of the human centipede yeah i can imagine can imagine that's a little tough. It's a tough casting call. Trying to find somebody that's into that. No, dude, you gotta do one of like

somebody calls you like I have a huge black widow in here and then you get home and it's a woman whose husband died. Fuck a black lady who's missing her late husband. There's a black widow here.

It's me. I got a few of those. Yeah, they got roaches. No one ever came on you uh not like obviously or anything i always had like that fantasy i was like a chinese food delivery driver at one point too which was funny because like me in this uh like someone was dropping off a pizza and i was dropping off chinese food at this same person's house the the the pizza guy was asian and i was me i'm like they're probably so confused they probably

thought we switched it'd be funny if we switch right but uh yeah no no one's really ever uh most was just like say creepy things but never like let's fuck and i don't really have many attractive clients you know uh but yeah that would have been that would have been cool i also would have been like i need to what can i get a shower first yeah there's really no sexy way to like finish up to be like yeah like give me like 25 minutes right yeah also i'd be like nervous as like i just like exterminate their pussy like not a good like it's like put it in it like with a hot sauce but it's like instead it's like yeah that was fucking bad dude that was like a repellent now your pussy is now i'm trying to get pissed inside you sorry yeah so not not too many i think uh a few gay customers have hit on me a bit nice

uh i get a lot of customers a lot of my customers like to get high with me yeah which is pretty cool i have a buddy uh like he's my friend now he looks like willie nelson he's like you smoke weed i'm like yeah Nelson. He's like, you smoke weed? I'm like, yeah. And he actually gave me seeds and helped me try to figure out how to grow stuff. That's funny to ask you that question as if we don't have the answer. So he just looks so much more of a stoner than me.

He's the Pokemon you evolved into. Exactly. He knew, he wouldn't have asked. I was literally about to leave. He gave me a joint to take with me. He's like, yeah, this shit's called Cheetah Piss. I'm like, of course it is. Of course it is.

This is called Cheetah Piss. Cheetah Piss was good, man. Cheetah Girls 3. Cheetah Piss. You ever think moving the business out to Chicago because it's the raddiest city in America? I haven't. I have not, bud. What's going on? It's because of why? Apparently it's the raddiest city america i haven't i've not bud what's going on it's because of why apparently it's the radiest city in america i mean one decade see that would be a good place but i also uh florida's bugs year round you know and it's maybe even i don't know if they like

exterminate lizards down there but i wouldn't do that i would probably just capture them and have a bunch of lizards yeah we came in seventh that's not bad jersey's actually not that's not bad at all actually now chicago los angeles new york san francisco dc denver denver i wouldn't say denver i think that's new we said a lot of new homeless went there so i think they took the rats with them that must be the fucking the rat kings dude i went i went there like during pandemic and it's all new homeless people all brand new they all look great nice they had their tents don't even have any tatters in them they're like really they're like saying thank you and stuff and like i mean it's just and then you look over and one of them's been there for a while and he's just shitting on the wall you're like that guy's a veteran that guy yeah he's been here for a little

bit that guy's a vet yeah the new homeless is weird when they ask for money and they're like i mean i have zell if you want to how do you have zell it's like your old school uh like they call you to like ask you to donate money for the alumni but you went from homeless to not it's like hey we're calling to see if i can you give us like 50 cents anything helps they're like when your college calls you and it's like you never used to go here would you like to give us more money than before so it's funny i actually got to go do a set at stan uh at stockton that's where i went and graduated from and my first thing was like way to go guys i'm a fucking exterminator you've done nothing and they recently just like

deleted my email address it was the only thing that i got from that fucking school at all like i was like a dumbass and never switched it over and like fuck dude getting angry at the alumni be like i got a place called mug a bug this place mugged me at a fucking seven hundred thousand dollars it was basically just me being like and telling all the students like good luck dude fucking good luck you're gonna end up smushing bugs just like me what did you go to school for was there any medications there's a reason why that's my fault that's my bad i was gonna be a radio disc jockey and then this appeared you mean you just do it anyway and not get paid for it i was like yeah i guess we'll do that.

It kind of worked. You were a semi-diss jockey for a little bit on the what up. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. A pick a pick a down. On what? Well, he used to do a podcast with, if you know, Rob Cruz. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, yeah, it was kind of funny, though.

I was like, realized I'm like, oh, I'm doing that. I didn't even need to step into it. Like, I didn't even care about making money. I was just like, I wanted to do that. And then like now you can do it it's just like i went to forty thousand dollars i could have gotten the best podcasting equipment ever you know was it so what was like did you come out and then as soon as you graduated it was like you kind of just took over the business no no so i was working at star of the sea which is seafood manufacturer making crab cakes for a while damn yeah just fucking making crab land you want to

see what the sea was about that's right yeah dude i gotta get my turf i think of my sea legs yeah and that job i've worked for like psychopaths uh that would like they'd box each other after work and then like dude it's the fucking the there is like a family owned business I actually got the job because my dad exterminated there and was like my son needs a job so then I got the job I play hockey with all these kids now and shit but like they used to do poop wars

they would poop on each other's cars they get hammered and take shits on each other's cars alright let's go to McDonald's and then we'll go to James' house and we'll poop all over James' car. Dude, the seafood industry is kind of like this? Yeah, man.

They're all seagulls. They just act like fucking seagulls, dude. They come by and eat your french fries and they shit on your thing. They only shit where they eat. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

That was one of the craziest, I mean, if we could just get a camera in there, because like, it's like, you say you have the most fucked up conversation. I'm peeling shrimp for four hours a day.

I can peel like fucking 3,000 pounds of shrimp. Damn. Not alone. I have like four other people in like two hours. Yes. I actually learned how to fall asleep with just half my body at a time so I could peel shrimp and kind of sleep. I fell over one time. I fully fell asleep while standing up, which is pretty tough to do.

Yeah. But it's almost impossible. Yeah. I did it. Damn. You trained your body to go 50 percent. Yeah. I think I would have just been like close to my eye.

Like, this is working great. I think it was placebo. But I felt like well rested afterwards. Did you have a sharp ass thing in your in your hand, too? Or were you just more like hand by hand? It's all just hand shit. It sucks because it's like all fucking freezing cold water and shit that that job stunk and not that extermination is a little

bit better it's less tedious shit and i don't have like a boss like watching he's like you're not peeling fast enough like i'm sorry sir it's like a fucking sweatshop yeah you're like really yeah you're so fucking cool yeah but they were cool so you're fucking cool man please don't shit in my car yeah you know they almost did after the first year i like they don't work like a holiday work party and i went home and they were like the one boss was like we don't know him that well yet you don't shit on his car i like that he's still up to this day not shit on my car because how i think a lot of marriages ended because of that how bad did the shit and get did anyone go go on the moonroof? I actually did a hockey tournament with them in Ocean City, Maryland.

Not moonroof, but we were eating and my one boss, for some reason, they never took solid shits. All their shits were liquid. Something's wrong with them. Yeah, of course they're all liquid. They got gout from eating all the seafood. Yeah, for sure.

He just runs up to one of our buddy's cars, Subaru, and just shits all over the door handle to get him Oh that's super weird Fuck Subaru, that sucks what it deserves You don't want an angry lesbian coming out with a bunch of shit on her handle, you can't have that happen That might be hate crime actually For sure Yeah that would be funny if it wasn't the right one, it was just like that lesbian comes out I mean in New Jersey, the Subaru plant is in New Jersey.

I mean, it could be any lesbian. Yeah, it's true. It's just a flip of the coin. You literally drive around here. I literally just yell at Subarus every time I come over to your house. New Jersey has to have the highest per capita of lesbians in the country. I play on a lesbian ice hockey team. Case in point.

I'm not even joking. Your Honor, I rest my case. We're called the Sugar Boys. We're pretty good. The Sugar Boys. We're pretty good. The Sugar Boys. We're pretty good. We're probably going to go. We went to the championship last year.

We might go again. Who knows? So no one ever stuffed a muffler with shit or anything? No, not that I'm aware of. I do know that the dad that owned the company, he's now passed away. And the oldest, middle son, back, I don't know, I guess he was in high school. Because the dad was into that shit too there's a reason why they're like this and like he went to go fart on his son bare ass and

just shit on his face that's what happened and then he's like the way he is yeah but that's always gonna happen you can't afford it that's just kind of part of the course yeah what are you gonna do you got a shit facial from your dad yeah really stuffed his muffler didn't he arguably worse than a stuffed muffler. That would probably get you out of a father's day gift, honestly. A stuffed muffler sounds like what my dad would call lesbian sex, dude. So yeah, a couple stuffed mufflers that day, you know. That's unbelievable.

Yeah, so that, I was working that, and then my dad got sick, and I was watching Horrible Bosses, and my bosses were being horrible, and I just like one was arguing like uh it was like don't worry about taking all the shrimp out because you had to take them out of the freezer so they thaw so we could uh peel them one was like don't worry about taking them out i'm like all right cool and then an hour later the other one's like why the fuck didn't you take them out and i'm like hey guys i fucking quit suck my dick i'm gonna go kill bugs now and now i kill bugs I exterminate at that place. Wow.

Damn. That's a bit of full circ. They still shitting on cars? I think a little bit. I think it's probably on New Year's. On New Year's, I used to go there. They would have Roman candle fights. Yeah, of course.

Dude, dangerous. No one's ever lost an eye or anything, but very close. Someone just like burnt holes in their shirt. Dude, I didn't know my seafood guys were getting after you. Of course. I didn't know. Of course. The shrimp i buy it at me that's like that's like the nicer like the ones that are going out on the ships the ones going out on the ship they're mad like devil's catch guys yeah those guys are on meth the entire time like at stockton a lot of them so they go out for three months and then they come back and they just blow all their shit on like some dude at the local bar at stockton

was like have you seen a little blue pill on the ground? I'm like, no, man, I'll keep my eye out for it. Leo. So I got to go back to like, this is expensive stuff. Like, yeah, so they just take turns like going from the sea, taking all their drugs, and then they come back, spend it all like, oh, fuck. Now I got to go back to the sea because they do make a lot of money. But then they spend it on meth. You talked about horrible bosses and

i initially was thinking about undercover boss and the fact that it's you and your mom try to do undercover boss to her and she's like i just dress up as my dad be like what the fuck's going on i'm back i've had dreams like that i'm like oh yeah i forgot dad's not dead i forgot he was he got out of that i was gonna swore we had a funeral and everything but no i forgot that was all fake is your mom a good secretary yeah so she does have a route roots dude so she's like she knows like because i go all over uh south jersey so it's like like uh i'll be in like berlin like berlin she knows how to loop it so i go somewhere and i basically work my way back to my house so that way i don't gotta like sick traffic and stuff she's a whiz damn how is that working with your

mom nancy's a fucking whiz not only that like all my customers have relationships with my like they don't they never seen her but they're like your mom's so fucking like all my dad loved talking to the customers so like all the customers that i met they're like i feel like i already know you and shit like they already knew everything about me and my sisters. And they would always just be like, like a few of the customers when he had just died, like I'd just be like, Oh, he's like, how's your dad? I'm like, Oh, well he's dead. And they start crying.

I'm like, yeah, it's okay. You're comforting everybody. You're dead. Don't even worry about it. I don't want to get that mess. What happened? I'm like, probably what the job I'm doing right now. I'll get to work though.

It is a good built in excuse. When you cry at the end of killing the rats you're like you good just like i just miss my dad actually i don't even care about this guy what do the sisters do um my one sister works for a postal service like um delivering packages and then my other one's a civil engineer have you ever thought about joining the family business uh uh yeah a little bit um not the civil engineer she's like no i'm good and then the other one's like maybe i'll do some of this and she's like ah no i have too much anxiety to ever worry about pesticide but she wouldn't like maybe do like secretary stuff um stuff like that but maybe like build the brand but i'm also like let's keep it low and i almost got fucking i was wondering i

was almost getting like the most like the worst best advertisement ever happened to me like a few weeks ago i was um in uh fishtown parked off uh gerard that main you know that uh in in fucking fishtown let's go and uh i'm parked my mugabug truck right on this uh right across from the the scene and i go to a bar and i come back and like everything's cautioned off and like all the other cars that were in that area uh they're gone it's just cop cars and like fucking caution tape on my truck is holding up the caution tape and just blood all over the place like they were looking in the back of my truck to i guess find the weapon and what you thought was like huge rat yeah yeah dude I think people were walking by. I'm like, damn, dude, this exterminator lost his fucking mind. He's like, I'm fucking bugging!

Stabbing somebody. So I'm like, I asked him, like, am I going to be able to move? Like, what the fuck's going on? I was like, and they don't, like, they've seen, it's just like a little bit of junkie blood, you know? Like, it's a little junkie stabbing. So they're just like, ah, don't worry, man. We'll get you, like, move your car in like an hour. I'm like, yeah, but like, what if I didn't, like, I didn't have to go, but I just kind of was like, let me see. Like, what if I had to go right now? They're like, yeah, I don't worry, man. We'll get you like move your car in like an hour. I'm like, but like, what if I did like I didn't have to go, but I just kind of was like, let me say, what if I had to go right now?

They're like, yeah, I don't know. No. And then we're like, I was trying to go into my girlfriend's apartment. We're like, can we like get in? Because it was also crossed off. We just like got all of our stuff taken away because someone decided to stab somebody over heroin. And it's like to grow up and just buy the expensive pills. Yeah. Buy the things that got you.

Grow up and do Oxy, all right? For real. Jesus Christ. And yeah, so the cops, they were like, I was just like, she's got a cat. It's going to die. You're going to try to fuck this homeless guy. Like, we need to go feed this cat. Yeah, but if they see you're an exterminator, they're like, is this guy going to kill the cat?

Is that a friend? I've had people worried about that.'s fine sorry so like they finally let us in i'm like just like walk like we're like dodging blood so we don't step like piles of blood so like to get an apartment they're like hurry up like we don't want to track hobo blood into the fucking apartment like give us a break and then just look like like anyone walking by would just be like, mugabug extermination truck. I'm like, this is not good. They should have put like a, you know how over a dead body they put like a fucking cloth over them? They should have fucking done that over my car. So what the fuck, man?

Like, that's bad. And then actually, which is funny, though, I got a call the next day. And someone's like, we got roaches in Philly off of Girard. I'm like, I'll go kill them. And then they never got back to me damn i'm trying to break in the philly i i for a while people like yeah i got bugs come kill him like i'm not licensed in philly just found out the other day i'm licensed in philly and uh delaware so i was like shit dude there's a top-notch operation happening over at muggle bug your mom should have told you that that was her uh yeah she doesn't know what the fuck's going on.

She just calls people and does tax. I squish the bug. She does all the paperwork. She's the brains of the operation. You're crunching bugs. She's crunching numbers. It's a perfect operation. I want to make a home training video for all the employees that I'm never going to hire.

It's just like, this is Nancy. She's the heart and soul'm never going to hire. It's just like, all right, this is Nancy. She's the heart and soul of Muggabug. And she's like, Cody, I'm on the phone right now. She can be a bitch anyway. Oh, my God. So what's the goal in a couple of years? We talk at Franchise, we talk at Employee No. 3.

What are you thinking? Probably hopefully quit. Probably, hopefully, find something that's not slowly killing me. But you could never go into insurance or sales. You'd go nuts. I would never do a job where I work for somebody else now. Yeah. Just because I make my own hours and stuff.

That alone is like, that's the best. And you just end up sitting outside a hotel and you see a ceo go by and then you shoot yeah it matters in your answer i was like oh viking pesticides not anymore that would be the craziest assassination if the dude went up to the ceo and just sprayed pesticides for a little bit and he's like in 20 minutes you are fucked i like talk shit like i'll see i'll see a fucking terminex uh driver going around i'll be like, fuck you. Piece, piece of shit. And then like we roll down windows. He's like, but the yellow jackets have been must this year.

He's like, yeah, man, I can't believe it. He's like, you get one of the ones that are coming up. Like, yeah, man. Like, what the fuck are we going to do? He's like, I use this. I'm like, yeah, good. Thanks for the info. Do exterminators like talk to each other?

They're like networking events and stuff. Yeah. I have a, I have a, I have a mentor named Larry. No. Yeah. He's my dad's buddy. They're both exterminators. So whenever I'm like, what the fuck? How do I do this?

What's he mentor you? Kill? Yeah. He'll just be like, use this pesticide. There's different types of pesticides that do different things. And certain bugs, you need to do certain things. Otherwise, it'll make it fucking worse. Yeah. And a few times, if you spray a repellent on something and you need the bugs to come

out and not stay in, you just sent them into the house like i had one time where someone had yellow jackets on the side on the siding of their house and i used a repellent so they weren't they're like oh we're not gonna exit this way they all went into the basement and they just had fucking yellow jackets flying around their basement they're like yeah that didn't work it actually is way worse and i'm like wow i can't yeah i can see what you're talking about this is pretty bad they have autistic son so like the buzzing i loved it no it was the opposite it's like i fucking hate that he did not like that at all and uh you need to i'm like i'll put him on silent but i don't know how long that'll last do not disturb yeah it's also i mean if there's a exterminator mentor

he also has to be mentoring like yeah if they pull you over you gotta eat the joint yeah yeah yeah exactly yeah it's just like placement stuff and stuff like that like i actually my dad was training me like because uh when i first started one of my first like last time i talked to my dad actually i was taking a shit at a customer's house because they weren't home and i'm like i just remember being like yo how do i how do i change out the rat traps or the mice traps or whatever and he's like tell me how to do it i'm like i remember i had wings and i'm before i'm like all right dad i gotta go love you all right spicy shit and then that was the last thing holy shit that was the last thing you said yeah that's spicy shit i'll see you later love you

dude i think i said love you dude yeah but i think love you dude was before spicy shit which is also he's like totally shit's in the customer's houses that's like like it's not the fucking trading program i don't know we haven't read the drinking program yet so but that is so the only there is a way up i was considering getting my termites like uh termites license because it's fucking, that's bank. It's a lot more work and a lot more pressure. I feel like termites aren't a thing. I don't hear about them as much. I've seen a few.

Really? They're munching around. They don't really, I haven't, like, I'll get, I've seen a few of them in customers' houses. I don't treat them. I reroute them to another guy. I have another fella, Ward. Of course. But he's maybe dead houses i don't treat them i uh i reroute them to another guy i have another fella ward but he's maybe dead i don't know uh but he was like the termite guy so someone had termites i give them his number and then he gives me three hundred dollars so i don't know how much i don't know how much money he's making that he's giving me three hundred dollars like

yo call this guy but i'm like why don't I just do that? That seems like a better gig than having to do it, though. If you just keep referring people to somebody else and you make the money and don't do anything. Yeah. But like you're saying, it's probably an insane amount. But it's not like that often. But if I like just it's probably like $10,000 a chip. But I think that would be like including the construction that you would have to do.

Oh, yeah. If it's like bad damage or you got to like replace the floorboards. I mean, I don't think you have to do that, but but you gotta kill them make sure they're dead before all that shit happens especially the bed bugs of the house that's what i'm saying the bed like there's no reason for these bugs to exist you have people that eat your blood and eat your house i think yeah that's that is interesting because like a mosquito makes a little bit of sense because the frogs eat in the mosquito like who the fuck's eating bed bugs it's just like they're feeding exterminators pockets that's that's the only thing i could see it seems like yeah that's probably a man-made bug i think it's a bad

this might be covid this might be covid uh bug covid it's a man-made bug they were probably in a wet market yeah a soaking wet market somebody was do you have a bowl of bed bugs i wonder how many bed bugs would it take to fill up a bowl so do you have a bowl of bedbugs? I wonder how many bedbugs would it take to fill up a bowl so you could eat a lot of bedbugs. That's what we're going to get next year with RFK. We're like,

we got to get rid of the bedbugs. They're clearly all over the place. Good reviews on online. Oh yeah? A lot of five stars. Can we read a couple reviews? No, this isn't live. Can we read a couple reviews to you

yeah I like that what comes first stand up exterminator or exterminating stand up you can't call yourself a stand up just say exterminator like I'm killing these I'm doing whatever I'm doing at first and and then, like, I'm talking about it.

I don't know, Big Dog. There's a lot of people in your profession who aren't like, I manage 401Ks. I'm a stand-up manager of 401Ks. They're like, no, I'm a comedian. It's like, but you also, nine to five, you do manage 401Ks. Yeah, I guess mine, like, I think if it was, like, if I was manager at, like, a CVS, I'm like, yeah, I'm a comedian. But it's like an exterminator.

Like, yeah, I'm an exterminator.ator like what the fuck's that about and then all of a sudden i'm funny like you should do comedy like good idea you're actually not gonna believe this and then like i come back the next week or the next month i'm like look dude the videos i have a few of my customers they're like they came out they came out the shows and like a lot of my bits are like yeah i'm working on, because there was a period of time where I was working completely unlicensed and just like two weeks, uh, allegedly of course. And, uh, like my customers came out and they're like, are you really? And I don't tell like in the set, like I don't say like, yeah, I'm licensed now.

I just like, let it, people still think that I'm not. Does comedy sometimes get you some customers? Yeah. I've actually, I've actually, uh,'ve actually, so I think my new merch for comedy is just going to be my services for extermination and weed.
