Happy belated birthday 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:35.040 to me, to Eddie, thank you to Pete. All three 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:39.519 of us had our birthday this past week. Now. Pete 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.879 had a big fancy party in Beverly Hills. Tons of 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.920 people showed up, who's who of who gives the fuck? 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.640 And then Eddie did the proper thing. I just just 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:58.680 didn't bring it up at all. 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:00.360 He just. 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.880 As soon as my birthday comes, I'm like, oh fuck, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.080 I forgot to say happy birthday to Eddie. That's how 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.840 I know it's Eddie's birthday. Now for me, For what 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.160 did I do for my birthday? I had a party 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:17.400 from eleven to one lunchtime on a Wednesday. Rented out 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:22.319 the BMX track up in came Rio. And if you've 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.480 ever been to Camerio, it's it's It's where all the 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.319 outlet stores are. So it's just a good day all around. 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:30.000 We rent out the BMX track so that my son 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.640 and I could race each other all day, well for 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:35.680 two hours. It's really really it's a lot of fun. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.040 And invited some of his friends, made them all skip school, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.760 and they're preschool you know, really, there's no attendance. It's 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.600 not like you're skipping anything important. And so I raced 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:50.600 a bunch of five year olds. What's funny is one 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.440 of the dads there, you know, he brought his bike 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.320 and he raced too, and he's like, Oh, it's really 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:58.920 selfless of you to have like a birthday party, but 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.920 really make it for the kids. And I was like, yeah, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:05.960 I didn't. I wasn't doing this for myself, you maniac. 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:10.400 My friend Danny was there. He's old as shit too, 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:15.239 forty eight years old. He fell, got hurt, went off 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:18.200 a jump, flew backwards off the back of the bike, 0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:20.800 landing on his back, and I just looked at him, like, 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:22.799 what what do you doing? We're not supposed to be 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.400 going hard. He was like, trying to set a new 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:31.119 track record. I'm riding around like in this this retro 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.480 BMX bike that has like beach cruiser tires on it 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.880 and barely getting that thing in the air. But it's fun. Oh, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.840 it's a lot of fun. Now. Then my son he 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.480 had one fall and then shortly after that he started 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.600 screaming because he had to go go potty and he 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.919 knew his penis was burning. And I'm like, oh, I've 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:57.200 been there. No, but he, uh, you know, got some 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.320 soap in it, probably the night before, and we didn't 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.680 wash it out. That's on us, and so he had 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.040 to go through that pain. It's kind of a rite 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.880 of passage for children not to get soap in the 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.640 eye of your dingling. And that stinks because then the 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.639 next pe he knows that it's gonna hurt, so he's 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.799 just in full breakdown mode before the pe gets there. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.840 Oh whatever. I was like, we'll get this taken care of. 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.160 We had about three or four painful peas. Now he's 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.720 back on track. The funny thing was when I dropped 0:03:31.800 --> 0:03:34.720 him off at preschool this morning, I was like, I 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:35.840 was like, oh, I need to talk to one of 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.840 his teachers, and she's like, oh, she's inside. I'll get her. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.480 I'm like, yeah, you know what, I'll just tell you. 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:43.160 Then you tell her. So now it's I'm like, so, so, 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:45.000 he got soap in his penis like a day and 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:47.240 a half ago, and it burns a little bit when 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.600 he peas, and so now when he has to go pee, 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:51.960 he gets a little worked up thinking that it might hurt. 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:55.320 But it doesn't hurt much at all anymore. It's done, 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.000 and she's like, oh, she's just staring at me, like, okay, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.840 I'll pass that on. And then another their father was 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:05.240 right there at drop off, and he overheard. He goes, oh, yeah, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:09.800 that's that's a tough one. You know, these are things 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:13.000 that you do. I enjoy it though, just all the 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.799 silliness of parenthood. It's like, yeah, well, speaking of speaking 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.400 of snakes, Eddie, you don't like snakes? Do you don't 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.160 like them? Are you afraid of them? Yep? Yeah, I'm 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.000 afraid of them too, no interest, no interest in learning 0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:30.080 about them. I appreciate what they do for us, which 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:34.359 I'm guessing is important for the whole ecosystem. But I 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:38.640 have no idea what but today's guest, Oh, she she's 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:43.680 like Steve Irwin. If Steve Irwin, we're still live and 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:48.280 a woman and five two covered in tattoos, barely one 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:52.440 hundred pounds.

Just code from a chopp its 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:24.040 head off as soon as they get out in. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:24.880 Oh, absolutely not. 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.319 I mean, that's that's why I started doing it, because 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.720 animal control does kill them, and like they do, the 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.120 state doesn't protect this apex predator. 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.800 So I said, if I have to do this for free, 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.840 I'll do it for free. I don't care. It's essentially a. 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.120 Half mile past the last occupied property, but ideally no 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.160 more than two miles for their survival. Raakes, rattlesnakes don't 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.080 move as much as people think so in the desert. 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.160 So you don't bring them to the same spot and 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:46.760 just don't know. 0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:49.800 They're all within essentially like a two mile circle somewhere 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.040 in equal terrain. 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:54.240 What's the largest rattlesnake you've ever had to relocate? 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.760 It was about five foot Even I. 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.400 Don't know how big a rattlesnakes get yeth for us 0:10:59.440 --> 0:10:59.800 out here. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.280 I mean, it would be pretty rare to see a 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:05.280 rattlesnake over five feet in California. It's those are like 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.320 the goliaths. But you know Texas, you'll you'll get six footers. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:10.000 East coast, you'll get eight footers. 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.360 I've never liked snakes, and I don't think I'm ever 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.720 going to like them. I'm an animal lover, but there's 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.400 a lot of animals I'm like, eh, I could do 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:18.280 without that animal. 0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:19.080 So it's my goats. 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:20.840 But I always say I'm not trying to convince people 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.000 to like them, just like respect what they need to 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:24.200 do on the planet. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.800 But rattlesnakes don't do anything good for the environment. 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:27.000 Oh. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.000 Absolutely. Rodent control man, yeah, I mean after all the road. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.800 Yeah, like the rodent poisons though, you know, killed off 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.719 a lot of birds of prey and a lot of 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:38.240 apex predators and so we got. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:41.000 Wait, how can apex predator be killed rat poison? 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.360 Of the poisons in the rat the owl apex anymore? 0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.400 Like literally they're like explode. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.679 It's like with the owls explode. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.240 Like the animals that have the rodent poison in them, 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.400 and it like creates all this bleeding. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.439 It's it's really gnarly way to go. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:57.559 Here's the thing. I'm gonna tell you something. I put 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.800 an owl box up in my property so that the 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.719 owls could kill the rodents. But they don't do a 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:04.480 good enough job. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:05.400 Beca's just not enough. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.439 The rodent populations in the last like twenty years, you know, 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:12.240 they're going like this while all of our you know, 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.240 their predators are going like this because people keep killing them, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.560 all right, and you know the snakes you know, obviously 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.920 don't eat as much as the birds do. So yeah, 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.679 the owls and like the hawks, the hawks taking a 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.520 big hit from like the decades worth of rodent poison. 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.520 And it's been outlawed in California now, but it's still 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.280 like the coagulatory one that's bitching though about. 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:31.640 The owl box. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.320 I tell people, like they ask me all the time, 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.160 how can I prevent snakes? Like you got to prevent 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:37.920 the rats, Like, you know, you don't have a snake problem, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.719 you got wrap problem.
