I saw an article that a woman was awakened out of her sleep in Australia because they have they have like tens of millions of rodents, like running around the country, the country continent, and the rodent was eating her eyeball, eating her when she was sleep. No, she wouldn't be open,
does eyeball if you eat an eyeball? Yeah, yeah, it's like if you're sleep, the rodent was probably like gnawing on her or her her eyeball, and maybe it I just amazin, right right, I'm throwing like, how does that happen? I thought rodents were scared of people, so like they must be hungry or something. Oh my god. Yes, but apparently the rodent problem in Australia is like it's it's overwhelming rodents. That is so disgusting. But that reminds me
of like my experiences with rodents. Have you had experiences with rodents in your house? I had one when I was younger, when you were younger, and my mother was like, um, I told my dad. She was like, this a mouse in the house and we're moving. We had lived in a house like twenty years. She's like, we're moving, What the hell? Where are we going. So my dad was like, I got just under control. I'm gonna give of it.
So next thing I know, the mouse was gone. Supposedly, oh good, If that is your only experience with mice, then like you're lucky because I have had. I don't. I don't. I don't want to drink myself because I'm moving to a new house right and I do not want to drink myself. If I see a mouse in my house, I'm just going to die. But but okay, So I remember in college I lived in the off campus apartment and it was like, you know, it wasn't it was it wasn't campus housing. It was like literally
like okay, I'm gonna grown up. I'm I'm paying like you know, rent to a leasing company. I had a roommate love it. Oh my god. This is in College Park, in like a Delphi so like right outside of College Park. I remember it's like you can when you start seeing the droppings and you start seeing like little you know, pieces of little things being eaten through in your apartment,
in your apartment. So I remember I came home and it was literally like scurrying across the stove, like can you imagine it so like as like a college and you're like, oh my god, I like, I'm never gonna walk in the kitchen again. There's literally mice Like they would come through the stove. How's that possible? Through the back of it, like the burners, right through the burners, like the holes and the burners and they so they're like scurrying crusts stove and they go away and they
go like through the burners. Okay, So when you just turn the burners on and burn them, well they I mean they're gone. But then so you know, they come out when it's like dark and and so like you know, so it was like dark, but you just could like you could see them like scurrying. It was like, oh my god. And then um our house that wanted I lived in in my Grandma County, we had field mice. Like every year we had field mice. Okay, and I would be responsible for putting the traps down. Why was
that your job? What one? You can't do that? This man And it's so crazy because he lived in you know, in Baltimore City and they were very familiar with mince and he I guess he was so traumatized from like he just he couldn't have done it. He so we would literally like I would literally put the trap down and then wake up in the morning and the mouse is on the trap and it's like, who's picking the mouse up? Me do better? I was like, this is like and and literally it wasn't just one in the house.
It was one his younger brother, his younger cousin, their teammates, their best friend. I was literally in the house all the time with like a bunch of dudes, and none of these dudes could do the know, They're like running screaming, like literally one want like run so that the mouse would be like in the kitchen on the trap, can't go anywhere, stuck right, it's on the trap. And he would like, you know, you like, can't this this podcast is over. I can't take anymore this conversation. This is
the best total mess, all right. He would walk in the kitchen and see the mouse and it runs and run all the way to the top of the steps. But what is the Okay, what I do know from this mouse situation is there aren't there traps that it goes in a thing and you don't see it there. Yeah, there's different ones, so you know, it's the one where it like snaps on it breaks a little nack. It's the one that where the sticky one, like I would always use sticky ones, um the ones. I can't take
this anymore, Oh my god. Okay, one more mouse story. Okay. And they were moving on when I was in high school, so we lived so my parents house is like you know, definitely in a field. So a mouse got into my car what and would like? So I noticed it because I saw I had all these napkin little pieces of napkins torn up in my glove. But how does it get in your car? How do how does the mouse
get in your car? Everything? They get through the smallest things such your car is secured, but they like they would climb through the through the like underneath it and just climb through everything. Let me tell you what this freaking mouse or mice did in my car. So it would go through like the the in like the I don't even know the term of the car, okay, so like the bones of the car. I used that we as we used to have a dog and the dog food would be you know, in the little bowl in
the garage. That's the problem probably And so the mice would take the dog food, climb in my car and put it at the top, like so you know where like the button where like you would pressed for like your light or your sunroof, right right in front of you, like above the mirror. So the mice were taking the dog food, the little pellets of dog food, climbing up putting it at the top of my car. So like if I hit the top of my car, you just hear dog food shaking. What it was? So these are
smart mice. What was the point of the mice doing that? Maybe because that's where they would like hide their food, and so they were like eating. They were probably like storing their food up there, eating it. Like literally I would hit the top of my car and you could just hear like you you would hear the dog food rattling. I've never heard of anything like this before, my So, do you get a new car at that point? Like? What? What? What? Does?
How do we get into this? Do I hope you got a new car because this sounds like some I can't I gotta got many stories. Um, I can't remember what we did to solve that problem, but yeah, it literally was okay, where mines are discussed. Okay, we're gonna we're gonna move on. My my little story clearly was not anything in comparison to Yeah, why do you have one experience with mice? Well, when I when I first when I first moved up my first house, and but that's like when I moved back here I had It's
just not a mouse here. Okay, that's not not even okay, So there the I would have a guy come and like spray the house and all that so that I would not have these truffles. I don't know. I'm surprised you don't have any out here. Okay. We hope you enjoyed that Reasonably Shady highlight.
