About this episode

Bee careful! This week the hilarious Rob Huebel joins Tony as they try not to PANIC about… Accidentally disrupting an active beehive. With a swarm of angry bees bearing down on you as you begin to lose your sh*t, should you try to outrun the bees? Jump in the closest body of water? Climb up a tree? Roll around in the dirt? And what happens if you do get stung, multiple times by a swarm of pissed off killer bees? Also is it aviary or apiary? Tony and Rob get to the bottom of all of that beeswax. We’ll explore what Rob thinks he would do if he came face-to-face with hundreds of hive-dwelling drones, have some fun with what the experts recommend and the guys profess their love for sexy bee ladies everywhere.
