0:50 got a very serious ant problem. Now, I've been trying to tell Anthony. Ant problem. >> I've been trying to tell Anthony since he moved in. I'm like, "Let me let me spray the perimeter of your house. I have so much ant juice." I was like, "Let me take care of this before it becomes a problem." >> Steve just pees around his house. >> He smells like piss over there. How'd you make so much? >> He finally called the one man that he knows can take care of the ants. >> He can save the day. >> The equalizer. >> Steve Reed. >> Isn't it too late once the ants come in? >> It's too late. >> Exactly. >> You're supposed to spray it. >> They own him now. >> Yeah. I got my ████ done right when we moved in. >> Yeah. >> I got a I got a >> 20% of his paycheck every month, dude. >> I got it. Every every 60 day theying cover and in the garage, too. I haven't had one thing. >> Yeah, they're squatting now. They have squad >> like it's over for them. >> It's in their wall. >> Yeah, exactly. >> It's in the floor.

1:40 >> He has a twotory home, so that motherfucker's climbing, >> right? And they went so cheap on all the culking that they're able to come in through all different parts of the kitchen. >> Cheap on the caulking. How do you do that? You just dot dotted lines. >> They didn't spray the whole thing. Every other every other >> You got a pre-coaul before you do the full caulk. >> I think they got a They had an Amish guy doing it without tools. >> They're squeezing it out of the tube, you know, and your hands are shaking. You're making little drips. It's >> uneven. It's not even >> Why did he go so cheap? >> Wait, he So he really has an ant infestation. >> Big time in infestation. >> Crazy cuz then if he got termites, it's over. >> I'm saying what day did he call you? >> Yesterday. Oh, Anthony Lee, why you do that? >> I'm telling you, I I was trying to warn the guy forever and then it's like >> So, he wanted you to come over and spray it. But that's for prevention, though. >> Well, exactly. >> So, yeah, you can't. >> He's like He's like, "What can we?" And

2:30 I'm like, "Well, then you got to fubicate now." >> So, yeah. >> You got You got to buy a new house. >> Basically, tomorrow I'm going to like It's going to be like Terminator 2 in there. I'm going to be ████ at Anony's place like taking care of >> baby. It's going to be >> And we're going to leave. We're going We're going to go in there. We're going to check all the caulking cuz it's we're going to have to recaul some ████ for sure cuz they're coming in through the floor. >> Explain why he waited so long. He's been living there for hella. I don't get what he said in the beginning where you said no or something like >> he was just like, "Yeah, we'll get around to it. Get around to it. Get around to it." >> Oh, he was giving he was giving him a fighting chance. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's being he's being a fair good sport. >> I live one exit from him. I could have taken care of this thing like forever ago. >> Well, did he want to be there maybe to do it with you? >> I mean, maybe. But he's been around like I guess he was just he just got back or whatever. Hey, as a prank, just bring a tank and spray it. The tank's just full of ants. >> These are red ants. What the hell? You have red ants here.

3:21 >> Cuz I had ant problem. My ant problem was so bad when we moved in that cuz as soon as summer hits, like if you didn't take care of your perimeter in the springtime, soon as summer hits, they want to go to a place that's cooler. So, they go in your house and they start ████ all your ████ up. And and they what they do, too, is they go in they find a house plant and they make an entire nest out of it. That's what happened to us. So like we had like these these like trees and they would go and where it's all damp and they would like put the queen in there and they're like building all that out. So we had a full-blown infestation. They're climbing over my ceilings and ████ like that. They were in my kitchen. >> So I had to I had to go nuts in there. >> So you found the source in the plant. So what did you do? Like put the plant outside? >> Put the plant outside and I drowned it in a with a hose for like 3 hours. >> Gasoline >> and it still wasn't enough. They're still alive in there and ████ They're crazy, dude. They climb on top of each other >> when you spray the perimeter. Like how

4:12 do you like do it where you don't expose yourself to poisons? >> Okay. So, every April I get this ant juice from like Lowe's or whatever and it comes with like a little like it comes with like a jug and you got the little jet thing and you just go around your whole perimeter with it. And I don't have any like outdoor animals or anything like that and I'm not licking the ground or anything, you know? I find that's a pretty good idea. And so I go around the whole thing like twice >> like the grass, the dirt, everything. >> Yeah. The whole perimeter of the house by the doors and windows and all that. >> Like for months before you spray, you have to drink a little of it to get immunity. >> Immunity. >> Yeah. You have to take >> My question is once the ants once the ants in the house, what the ████ do they do? >> They start looking for all kinds of stuff. Food. They're looking for shelter obviously sometimes cuz they, like I said, they could build a whole mess. >> They find a quarter and they just go like this.

5:02 >> Home sweet home. >> They don't stop being ants. Yeah, they they're being ants the same way just inside the house. >> Yeah, but like >> how do ants go in your home? Where are they? >> Black ants. I've never had ants in my apartment. >> They're like, "Hey, we're in here now." >> I had a pretty bad attack where it looked like cookies and cream was all over my corners like on the wall. >> Yeah. And you see a trail and then what ended up happening is like you removed >> all the food, everything, right? And you just like wait for a bit and then once the sources are gone and then you put poison or whatever where they are coming out of it'll they'll leave. >> Remember when we lived in Hollywood we had a really bad antifestation and we were on the third floor >> and we had to get that that stuff that looks like super glue and you put it on and then they and they're supposed to eat it and take it away. It doesn't kill them until like a day later.

5:52 >> Dude, it takes it back to their nest. >> We didn't even have to clean up a single ant. >> Those little those little pucks. >> Yeah. like comet like whatever combat. Yeah, combat. Yeah, >> but that I think that was for like uh roaches. I guess they have them for the the gel one for >> the gel is the one that they they it won't kill them right away. They'll live a full life and then die. >> Oh, good. >> But the real trick is to find out where they're coming from and like find the nest outside cuz there's got to be a nest outside >> and them sons of ████ is is waiting out there and then I take a whole thing of ant juice. I just dump it in the hole and just leave it there. So, you're going to le are you going to lecture Aunt Anthony the whole time about a like not being a good homeowner? >> I'm probably going to show up dressed like John McLean from Die Hard like >> and I'll smoke a cigarette and ████ >> Tired of your mom finding all your porn sites? >> Don't let that happen again with vp.net. >> It's the only VPN that can't spy on you.

6:44 Every other VPN can technically see what you're browsing and you just have to trust that they won't leak or sell your data. VP.net Net's hardware separates your identity and traffic patterns. >> This makes it physically impossible to monitor you. >> To have true complete privacy, sign up with vp.net/jk newsws like this. Link in the description below. >> Yeah, be privacies baby. >> What else did he is he holding off on? >> That's a very important one. >> Who knows at this point? >> Can you tell him stop being a cheap ass and holding off on everything? Hey, you know what's funny? The cheap ass jokes are just jokes. But this one is lands right on the mark for that. I know >> like that. You really did cheap out because you should have got that dub first month. I was like once summer comes, dude, you're going to be seeing

7:34 some. >> Anthony is becoming Anony's becoming his own jokes. >> The funny thing is he doesn't go cheap on all the things that he does. His he has like high tech in his house and everything. I'm the actual one that's cheap and no one ever calls me. >> No, no, no. Anthony doesn't have anything. That's cool, >> dude. I thought was he waiting for them to come out with a Kith sprayer? >> He only wants brand >> the Kith collab. >> The Raid and Kith collab where was like you don't like you don't have a Nintendo Switch 2 yet? >> There's like one game on it. Like >> hey just as a joke let's get some fake like huge ass bugs like big rubber ones and just hide them around his house. >> I'm down. >> So after you get it you just leave it there. >> Anthony, why don't you get a fumigator? They will stash his his fridge with frozen DVDs. >> I don't want to do I want to put a

8:24 couple frozen DVDs in this place. That's going to be sick. >> He doesn't want to get caught jacking into that. >> Sticker bookcase or something. >> Oh, dude. Yeah, that'd be funny. We put under the bed just like slathered in lotion. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> DVD cover. >> Oh, you have it. Oh, so you have cemented it closed. >> It opens up. It's like >> Or hey, this is what you do. You get a portable DVD player, a copy of Frozen KY jelly, put in a Ziploc bag, put it under the bed, dude. No, >> bury it in the yard. >> Find a map on Nah's desk. >> Yeah. Bury it by the septic tank so when they finally have to like redo it and years later they're like, "What the ████ is this?" Yeah. >> Wait, whose house was it when you guys watched the Pacers game? That was an Anony's, right? Was that >> uh Ryan? >> We were We were Ryan. >> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Zero ants. Zero

9:14 ants. >> You got it set up pretty quick. >> My dude was there. My dude was there just last Wednesday. I could see him on the camera just getting every freaking >> So you have a you have a pest guy. >> But that's because I freak I'm I'm really ████ like I freak out about see ants. I hate >> me too. I hate saying I hate them so much. >> I actually don't care. >> I was actually at JK. This is about 3 years ago when the first ant attack hit and Nikki calls me. She's crying. She's like, "They're in our bed." And I'm like, "It's ████ personal." >> Yeah. I That's how I am. I don't like it at all. It finally hit home. You know what I mean? >> They're so disgusting. So, I have to like take care of it preemptively. >> Roaches bother me, but ants don't. >> Oh, they just they're just so annoying. Like like you'll just be sitting there and there's one on your arm. You're like >> and then and then you start feeling them everywhere even if they're not there. I hate that. >> Disgusting. That's sick. >> Plus, at the Hollywood house, it was bad because any Hollywood Hills house is along the hillside. So, every floor is

10:04 considered a ground floor. >> So, then ants can set up any one of those floors and it's disgusting. You know what does what does ████ me up though is crickets. Like I ████ destroyed bedrooms trying to find a cricket >> cuz you're tripping. >> Yeah, cuz you're trying to sleep and then that's when they go and I'm like what the ████ >> Start ████ pulling out desks and ████ Where the ████ is this thing? And then when you start moving they they don't say anything. >> They don't say ████ >> And then finally you're like I think it's gone. You turn off the light. Chirp chirp chirp. I'm like >> you have some sensitivity right now. >> Yeah, man. Sounds like a terrible existence. >> PTSD right here, man. Don't you remember what happened to him? >> The funny thing is it's obviously a fake cricket, but he thinks it's a real one. >> Hey, honestly, >> now you're just roasting it. >> What a dumbass. >> That's not true. If I put it in your bag, you'd think it's real, too.

10:54 >> Yeah, it sounds like a digital cricket that ████ the Neptunes would put in a song. >> No, no, it would sound real. >> I remember sitting right here and Nick's like, "Did anyone hear a cricket?" And I just look at him like, >> "We all ignored him." >> Dude, that was that's the one that ████ me up. Yeah, >> that was the dagger, dog. >> And nobody else even like heard you say that. >> No, we ignored him. >> It was It was at the point where I just was like I just assumed it was just me. It was just I was hearing this. I was dying. >> I'll be like, "Do you guys hear that cricket? Ryan's like this." >> Yeah. I couldn't I wouldn't be able to look at you, dude. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Did you really Did you at one point thought like you're mentally ill? >> Yeah, I did. >> Such a sincere question. The first thought though was omccrron. It was like Ryan's ████ with me somewhere. Right. >> Smart. >> But then I was like, and then as the days went on, I'm like, I think I have ear trauma or something. That's what I thought it was. I was like, I'm jealous,

11:45 >> dude. That's why when I was in that hotel this morning, those little kids are like, "Mom, dad, hey, hey, can you help us find our mom and dad?" I was like, "Is this some Omron s███?" Anyway, >> I did that. >> My first thought genuinely >> when I when I leave the bathroom, every time I leave the bathroom, I kick it open and I ████ check. >> I check to see if you're ████ And I'm like, "Was that chair there before? What the ████ is the play with the chair? >> Yeah, bro. I'm ████ watching. >> Trained you. >> Yeah, that's why I don't I don't I don't feel bad that you blamed me for those signs you found outside the the freaking jiu-jitsu gym. >> I was I was like, "Dude, this is for sure, Ryan." >> One time One time my This is funny where I brought my bag here to JK and I had my my my jiu-jitsu stuff in there >> and my belt wasn't in there one day and I was like, "Ryan took my ████ belt. >> I just took your belt? That's not my style to mess with me. My style would be

12:35 My style would be to fill your bag with like 80 black belts. >> Which was mine. >> That's way funnier to me. >> My dad I was talking to my dad, right? And he's like he's like, "Yeah, I saw your friend put like a bunch of weights in your bag." >> That was funny. The sandbags. >> He's like, "Yeah, that was like I don't know why you did that, but yeah, that was pretty funny." >> Yeah, that's the one I I put the like >> the dumbbells. the dumbbell things.
