WEBVTT - Shady Highlight: Robyn Dixon v Rodents!

0:00:07.080 --> 0:00:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I saw an article that a woman was awakened out

0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>of her sleep in Australia because they have they have

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>like tens of millions of rodents, like running around the country,

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>the country continent, and the rodent was eating her eyeball,

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>eating her when she was sleep. No, she wouldn't be open,

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>does eyeball if you eat an eyeball? Yeah, yeah, it's

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 1>like if you're sleep, the rodent was probably like gnawing

0:00:35.520 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 1>on her or her her eyeball, and maybe it I

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>just amazin, right right, I'm throwing like, how does that happen?

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>I thought rodents were scared of people, so like they

0:00:47.880 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>must be hungry or something. Oh my god. Yes, but

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>apparently the rodent problem in Australia is like it's it's

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>overwhelming rodents. That is so disgusting. But that reminds me

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of like my experiences with rodents. Have you had experiences

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>with rodents in your house? I had one when I

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:08.200
<v Speaker 1>was younger, when you were younger, and my mother was like, um,

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.199
<v Speaker 1>I told my dad. She was like, this a mouse

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 1>in the house and we're moving. We had lived in

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>a house like twenty years. She's like, we're moving, What

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the hell? Where are we going. So my dad was like,

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I got just under control. I'm gonna give of it.

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>So next thing I know, the mouse was gone. Supposedly,

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>oh good, If that is your only experience with mice,

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>then like you're lucky because I have had. I don't.

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't want to drink myself because I'm

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 1>moving to a new house right and I do not

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>want to drink myself. If I see a mouse in

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 1>my house, I'm just going to die. But but okay,

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>So I remember in college I lived in the off

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>campus apartment and it was like, you know, it wasn't

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>it was it wasn't campus housing. It was like literally

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>like okay, I'm gonna grown up. I'm I'm paying like

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, rent to a leasing company. I had a

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:55.559
<v Speaker 1>roommate love it. Oh my god. This is in College Park,

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>in like a Delphi so like right outside of College Park.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I remember it's like you can when you start seeing

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>the droppings and you start seeing like little you know,

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>pieces of little things being eaten through in your apartment,

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in your apartment. So I remember I came home and

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>it was literally like scurrying across the stove, like can

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you imagine it so like as like a college and

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>you're like, oh my god, I like, I'm never gonna

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>walk in the kitchen again. There's literally mice Like they

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>would come through the stove. How's that possible? Through the

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>back of it, like the burners, right through the burners,

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>like the holes and the burners and they so they're

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:40.960
<v Speaker 1>like scurrying crusts stove and they go away and they

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>go like through the burners. Okay, So when you just

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>turn the burners on and burn them, well they I

0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>mean they're gone. But then so you know, they come

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>out when it's like dark and and so like you know,

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>so it was like dark, but you just could like

0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>you could see them like scurrying. It was like, oh

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>my god. And then um our house that wanted I

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>lived in in my Grandma County, we had field mice.

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Like every year we had field mice. Okay, and I

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 1>would be responsible for putting the traps down. Why was

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that your job? What one? You can't do that? This

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>man And it's so crazy because he lived in you know,

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>in Baltimore City and they were very familiar with mince

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and he I guess he was so traumatized from like

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>he just he couldn't have done it. He so we

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>would literally like I would literally put the trap down

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 1>and then wake up in the morning and the mouse

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>is on the trap and it's like, who's picking the

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>mouse up? Me do better? I was like, this is

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.119
<v Speaker 1>like and and literally it wasn't just one in the house.

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>It was one his younger brother, his younger cousin, their teammates,

0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>their best friend. I was literally in the house all

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the time with like a bunch of dudes, and none

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>of these dudes could do the know, They're like running screaming,

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>like literally one want like run so that the mouse

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>would be like in the kitchen on the trap, can't

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>go anywhere, stuck right, it's on the trap. And he

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 1>would like, you know, you like, can't this this podcast

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>is over. I can't take anymore this conversation. This is

0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the best total mess, all right. He would walk in

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the kitchen and see the mouse and it runs and

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>run all the way to the top of the steps.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 1>But what is the Okay, what I do know from

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>this mouse situation is there aren't there traps that it

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>goes in a thing and you don't see it there. Yeah,

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>there's different ones, so you know, it's the one where

0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>it like snaps on it breaks a little nack. It's

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the one that where the sticky one, like I would

0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>always use sticky ones, um the ones. I can't take

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>this anymore, Oh my god. Okay, one more mouse story. Okay.

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>And they were moving on when I was in high school,

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>so we lived so my parents house is like you know,

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 1>definitely in a field. So a mouse got into my

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>car what and would like? So I noticed it because

0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I saw I had all these napkin little pieces of

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 1>napkins torn up in my glove. But how does it

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>get in your car? How do how does the mouse

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 1>get in your car? Everything? They get through the smallest

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.760
<v Speaker 1>things such your car is secured, but they like they

0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>would climb through the through the like underneath it and

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.719
<v Speaker 1>just climb through everything. Let me tell you what this

0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 1>freaking mouse or mice did in my car. So it

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>would go through like the the in like the I

0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>don't even know the term of the car, okay, so

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>like the bones of the car. I used that we

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.719
<v Speaker 1>as we used to have a dog and the dog

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>food would be you know, in the little bowl in

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>the garage. That's the problem probably And so the mice

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:42.360
<v Speaker 1>would take the dog food, climb in my car and

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 1>put it at the top, like so you know where

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>like the button where like you would pressed for like

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.560
<v Speaker 1>your light or your sunroof, right right in front of you,

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>like above the mirror. So the mice were taking the

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 1>dog food, the little pellets of dog food, climbing up

0:05:57.520 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>putting it at the top of my car. So like

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>if I hit the top of my car, you just

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 1>hear dog food shaking. What it was? So these are

0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>smart mice. What was the point of the mice doing that?

0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>Maybe because that's where they would like hide their food,

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and so they were like eating. They were probably like

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>storing their food up there, eating it. Like literally I

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>would hit the top of my car and you could

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>just hear like you you would hear the dog food rattling.

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of anything like this before, my So,

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.160
<v Speaker 1>do you get a new car at that point? Like? What? What? What? Does?

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>How do we get into this? Do I hope you

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>got a new car because this sounds like some I

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 1>can't I gotta got many stories. Um, I can't remember

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>what we did to solve that problem, but yeah, it

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>literally was okay, where mines are discussed. Okay, we're gonna

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna move on. My my little story clearly was

0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>not anything in comparison to Yeah, why do you have

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.640
<v Speaker 1>one experience with mice? Well, when I when I first

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>when I first moved up my first house, and but

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 1>that's like when I moved back here I had It's

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 1>just not a mouse here. Okay, that's not not even okay,

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>So there the I would have a guy come and

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>like spray the house and all that so that I

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 1>would not have these truffles. I don't know. I'm surprised

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:18.800
