Say goodbye to your credit card
0:02
rewards. Greedy corporate megastores, led by
0:04
Walmart and Target, are pushing for
0:06
a law in Congress to take
0:08
away your hard-earned cash back and
0:10
travel points to line their pockets.
0:12
The Durbin Marshall Credit Card Bill
0:14
would enact harmful credit card routing
0:16
mandates that would end credit card
0:18
rewards as we know it. If
0:20
you love your credit card rewards,
0:23
tell your lawmakers, hands off, my
0:25
rewards. Tell them to oppose the
0:27
Durbin Marshall Credit Card Bill. From.

All morning? All morning. What happened
4:36
yesterday? Okay. What happened? What
4:38
happened? Why did you almost call 911? Well,
4:41
okay, so yesterday, my girlfriends and I got
4:43
together for a little girls' night. The
4:45
park by my house was doing a movie in
4:47
the park. They set up this huge inflatable screen
4:49
and they were gonna do a viewing of the
4:51
proposal. So we're like, oh, girls' night, this would
4:53
be so fun. We got wine, we got pizza,
4:55
we were gonna go to the park,
4:58
the weather was perfect. Like a
5:00
girls' night of dreams. So
5:02
before that, my three girlfriends came over to my
5:04
place and we were just hanging out, catching up.
5:07
You know. Free game. The pre-game, yeah,
5:09
you know, having a little, our first glass of wine, like whatever. And
5:12
in a very brief
5:14
moment of silence between gossiping, we
5:17
heard like a, bzz, bzz,
5:20
bzz. I was like, is that a
5:22
fly? A bee? No,
5:25
it was the biggest hornet I have
5:27
ever seen in my entire life in
5:29
the bee apartment. And our reactions was one of
5:32
my friends went to lock herself in the
5:34
bathroom. One immediately ran down the stairs. I used
5:36
myself as a human shield to protect Buster. And
5:38
I actually asked one of my friends, I
5:40
was like, do we call 911? Like
5:43
how do we get this hornet
5:45
out of the house? Oh my
5:47
goodness. Ryan's not home. We're
5:49
all panicking. And one of my friends was
5:51
like, no, no, no. We got this. We totally
5:53
got it. We don't got this. We absolutely do
5:56
not got this. Call 911 before hornet. So the
5:58
hornet, this was the mother of all. hornets
6:00
because it was the size of my
6:02
fist. I kid you not. A little
6:04
fist. For the first shot. And
6:07
so the hornet was like at the like you know
6:09
buzzing around the light bulbs we're like okay let's turn
6:11
off the lights and maybe it'll like kind of go
6:13
like I don't know we can try to like
6:16
shift it towards the front door and so
6:18
without getting stung. Right so we turn off
6:20
the lights because there's nothing scarier than
6:22
a free hornet in the dark. Yeah but they can't
6:25
fly in the dark. In the
6:27
dark yeah well it was also five o'clock so it actually wasn't
6:29
dark because there was a lot of light out still but regardless.
6:31
Yeah. The hornets like flying
6:34
around we're just like in sheer panic because
6:36
one of my friends is allergic to bees
6:38
so she's like I can't get stung. I
6:40
personally have never been stung and I don't
6:42
know if I'm allergic so that is a fear. What if
6:44
it's different venomous? It's a fear in itself I have no
6:46
idea and then one of my other friends that was there she's
6:48
a nurse and she said if you stop breathing because you get
6:50
stung there's nothing I can do. I was like great that's reassuring.
6:53
You can do a trache. You can do
6:55
a trache after an emergency trache. If she's
6:57
a nurse she should do it. Yeah well
6:59
so then the hornet is flying around turns
7:03
out it's like a little John fan
7:05
because it goes from the window to the wall and
7:07
then back and then back to the window and it
7:09
kind of goes like behind the
7:12
bee. Like you know how like you have the blinds and then there's
7:14
that like part at the top.
7:16
He hid behind it. That's his room.
7:18
Now it's out of sight and it's
7:20
not buzzing anymore so we're not a hundred
7:22
percent sure where along the blind it is
7:25
and if we pull the blinds up we don't
7:27
want to anger it because then you know what
7:29
I mean? Yeah we don't want an angry hornet. Right
7:32
and so my friends like I need a
7:34
really like tall cup so we can kind
7:36
of like trap it up against the
7:38
window. Right. You need a tall person
7:40
like Ryan but he's not home. He's not home. He's
7:42
not home and so the tallest cup that
7:44
I have is actually a souvenir Barbie movie
7:46
cup that I got from Callie when I
7:48
was in the house. Not the Barbie cup.
7:50
Is that good enough though? So Barbie's the
7:53
rescue. So we did successfully trap it
7:55
up against the window. Now what? Now
7:57
what? My
8:00
friend's like, I guess you live there now. She was
8:02
like, I need a piece of paper. I was like, I
8:04
literally don't have paper. Like I don't have a
8:07
printer. Like I don't carry paper anymore.
8:09
Thankfully I've been, I've been
8:11
scrapbooking. So I had scrapbooking paper
8:14
and I don't like my
8:16
fearless friends, Brittany and Leslie, they
8:19
were successfully get the scrapbooking paper under
8:21
the cup. We're like, okay, let's just like
8:23
slide it down and then kind of like
8:26
open that window next to it and let
8:28
it fly free. And so we
8:30
start sliding it down, but then there's like a ledge.
8:32
Oh yeah. Oh, not the ledge.
8:34
Sliding it and we hear it inside the cup. Now
8:37
he's mad. He's mad. He's ready to attack. He
8:39
was so mad. So like you scrapbooking paper me.
8:41
Yeah. So the hornet is just so mad
8:43
and so angry and I'm like on the verge of
8:45
tears and I'm like, what if it gets out? Like,
8:47
what are we going to do? I was really scared
8:49
of getting stung. So I put on my parka as
8:51
like a shield because I'm thinking
8:54
a hornet can't sting me through a
8:56
parka. No. So I put on
8:58
my parka and our plan was like
9:01
the two of them were going to like grab it
9:03
and slide it. And then I was on window duty
9:05
to like shut the window. Everybody's got a job.
9:07
Afterwards. And as I'm like there, I panicked
9:09
and I was like, I can't do this. And I like
9:12
retreat back. And my friend Leslie was just like,
9:14
forget it. So she just grabbed the cup and
9:16
just threw it out the window, like through the
9:18
cup, the paper and the hornet out the window.
9:21
We closed the window. What if it landed in
9:23
some old lady's house? We
9:25
were like looking out the window because the Barbie cup is
9:27
just like on the street. And I was like, thank goodness.
9:29
There wasn't a person just walking by in that moment.
9:32
Could you imagine? They would get a little girl
9:34
walks by a body. I thought you
9:36
like, so did the hornet. And then we were scared because
9:38
then we had to go to the movie to go to the
9:40
park, but I was like, what is this hornet seeking revenge? Finds
9:43
y'all like outside, but I'm so
9:45
happy to say that we live to tell
9:47
the tale. Wow. What is Paul Wall had been
9:50
walking by? It really would have been from the
9:52
window to the wall. That
9:54
is so scary. It was terrifying. I know.
9:56
So scary. How did it get in there?
9:58
Meanwhile, I don't know. There's a guy
10:00
on Instagram that literally grabs the wasp by their heads and
10:02
stuff and then coyote something. And then what does he do
10:04
with them? He lets them sting them. Oh, that
10:07
is weird. There's actually a form
10:09
of therapy as that. Don't do it. You do
10:11
beefing stuff. Don't do that. No, like for some
10:13
people it helps out with anxiety and stuff. Yeah,
10:15
not me. Well, do you guys want to
10:17
hear the poem I wrote about this? Yes. You
10:19
have a poem? Last night I was just so tortured by this whole experience
10:21
that I wrote a tortured poem. Okay, please. My
10:24
heart rate spiked. My fear disliked.
10:27
Your presence in my line of sight. You
10:29
buzz and flutter. My actions stutter. We caught
10:31
you in the window shutters. A
10:34
pink cup barrier suddenly superior yet
10:36
sheer panic worn on my exterior.
10:38
But in the spring we threw your wings
10:41
and out flew
10:43
the trace of you. And that's the
10:45
part that really stings. Oh, good. Good.
10:49
There's a singer in there. That's a torture
10:51
poem. I call that one. Be free. You
10:53
horrid be. Wow. Even though
10:55
it's a horn. I thought every time. Yeah, but it didn't rhyme.
10:57
I put on the window sill to survive. Yeah, I know. I
10:59
got a lot. I got a spider and a mosquito right there.
11:01
I be where we want it. I be and I glad you
11:03
survived. Coming up next. Good
