Speaker 2: Doing great? Doing great?

31
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 4: So Gandhi has this dream of putting up her live

32
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: Christmas tree and finding a critter in there.

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, okay, this has happened to you.

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, well the last Christmas tree, because that was

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 6: the last one after that issue. We put up the

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 6: Christmas tree and decorated it all. And the next morning

37
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 6: I woke up, I went to the living room and

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 6: had baby praying mantis all over the living room.

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: Oh wait, wait, how many baby praying mantises? Mentisize?

40
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 6: It had to be like it had to be like

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 6: a thousand because they the full all my it was

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 6: two windows I had in the living room. The curtains

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 6: were filled, I mean completely filled.

44
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: That is so cool, thousands in the curtains.

45
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 5: I think the praygmantis is one of the most beautiful

46
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 5: insects of them. I meant, well take them out, but

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: how cool for a moment, like how cool?

48
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 6: No, yes, it actually it was. I I don't have

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 6: any issues with bugs, like I don't, you know, unless

50
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 6: it's something attacking me. I let them out, you know.

51
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 6: And the thing is that when we saw it. I

52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 6: felt so bad because it was December, it was freezing,

53
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 6: and I didn't know what to do.

54
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: What did you do?

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 6: So my husband, well, I had to let them out

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 6: because I couldn't save them in anything. And you know,

57
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 6: I was looking for the mama and I couldn't find her,

58
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 6: so I was like, oh no, so we had to

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 6: put them outside. So I don't know, they probably didn't survive.

60
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: I'm not a praying mantis expert. I mean, wasn't the

61
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 4: tree outside and you chose it and it was cold there?

62
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 6: Well, yes it was, Yeah, you're right, it was. But

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 6: they were in probably the little the little cocoon or

64
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 6: whatever it was, because they brought him into the warm.

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: House we know nothing about.

66
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 4: Okay, So but when you're setting up the tree and

67
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: decorating it, you had no clue. You didn't see any

68
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 4: praying mantis because if there were thousands of them, were

69
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: they inside the because.

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 6: It was it was inside, So it probably was you know,

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 6: on the on the uh, on the tree itself, not

72
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: on any of the branches, so I think that it

73
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 6: was on the actual you know, trunk of the tree.

74
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 3: You know, when my mom was a kid, there a

75
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 3: praying mantis jumped on her lap while she was on

76
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 3: an amusement park ride and she jumped off the ride

77
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: and some got somebody caught her.

78
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Oh my god, what a ride.

79
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: I don't know how high up the ride was, but

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: it landed on her lap and she They're not.

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: Dangerous the humans. For a little kid, it's dangerous and

82
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: scared more dangerous.

83
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: They're very very like out of space. Looking. Here's the thing.

84
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: Had you found one praying mantis? Will you be okay

85
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: with that? It was it was the.

86
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 6: Multitude, It was the Yeah, it was a lot, and

87
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 6: it was more, you know, because I was like, I

88
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 6: didn't know what to do with it. And it was

89
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 6: not just one or two. There were thousands of them.

90
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 6: And this was before we had the phones that I

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 6: could have taken a picture, because I wish I could

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 6: have taken a picture of all of that. That was insane.

93
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 6: My husband was like, oh my god, get them out.

94
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: Praying mansions are supposed to be very very lucky and

95
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 4: they're very very very spiritual animals creatures. I say, they don't.

96
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 4: They have no clue ab spirit. But anyway, that's I

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 4: think that's cool. But you have said you will never

98
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 4: ever have a live tree ever again because of this situation.

99
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 6: After that happened. It was actually in an apartment, so

100
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 6: we moved and I just didn't get another live tree.

101
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 6: It was like I was after that. I was like,

102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 6: don't know if I want another. So I just had

103
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 6: a little three foot tree that was perfect for us.

104
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 5: Man, I don't know. It sounds lucky to me.

105
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 6: That's awesome.

106
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: Thousands, I thought it was amazing. You're nuts.

107
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: When would you ever see that again? In real life?

108
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 5: You probably will never see something like that again. So

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 5: like one time in your home.

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: It was the.

111
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 4: Differences Lorena had hers in her house with the front door.

112
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 4: You live in an apartment with no windows that open.

113
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 5: Sure, i'd move, but I think that I would like

114
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 5: it for the moment that it was there.

115
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, live for the moment. I will thank you. Lorena,

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: have a great deal. I don't know. So finding a

117
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: critter in the tree, this is it happens all the time.

118
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 5: Right, I have a list. Do you want to hear

119
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 5: some of the things that people have found in trees?

120
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 5: I am not making this up. A kowala wow, yeah,

121
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 5: A raccoon, apossum.

122
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: Okay, all three of those could hurt you.

123
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: They could, Yes, a sparrow hawk that sounds like it

124
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 5: could claw your eyes out. A copperhead snake, oh, no,

125
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 5: of all types. You've got spiders, mites, praying manta's egg cases, bagworms, birds, salamanders,

126
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 5: I mean, you name it. It could be in that tree.

127
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 2: Well, this thing has been growing up in.

128
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 4: Forests and in fields, yeah, for months and months, so

129
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: put an opportunity to get some livestock going on there.

130
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: The bigger critters I don't get because I feel like

131
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: they you're moving the tree from one location to another,

132
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: they would get scared and like jump out or leave

133
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: the tree, you know what I mean, Like they hid.

134
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 5: Because they were like, oh, what's happening?

135
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: You sare climb up and grab hold.

136
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I got a question about sanitary conditions here, don't they

137
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: don't they hose the trees.

138
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: Down before they give them to you.

139
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Is there some kind of a process it goes to

140
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: between the time it's cut down and.

141
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: You can cut down your own tree, you know, you

142
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: can go to a place.

143
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: I understand that, but like when you see trees all

144
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: lined up waiting to be taken home, did they go

145
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: through some kind of a process or I mean, I

146
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: know it's girlfriend.

147
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: On the tree.

148
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: Well hold on, well we'll find out right now, let

149
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 2: me turn on a Scotti button on? Is he on? Yes?

150
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 5: I can't imagine they sanitize the trees.

151
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: What's up, Scotty. They don't hose them down. You literally

152
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: cut them down.

153
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 7: You put them through the little netting tube and it

154
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 7: nets it up and they throw it on the roof.

155
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: That I was thinking that there's no hosing down of trees.

156
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 8: Scary.

157
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm asking only because many of the tellings, now you know,

158
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: solve some of these issues. I don't want termites roaming
