I’ll Try Anything Once, Episode 3: Extreme Animal Remover

Rats, bees, raccoons, hogs and snakes are just some of the creatures that wildlife remover Johnny Vincent deals with everyday in his Florida pest control business. While Johnny can certainly cut the mustard when it comes to removing such extreme prey, can Touré survive four days living and working in Mr. Vincent’s shoes? Viewers witness Touré as he learns to trap raccoons, handle snakes and deal with a horde of 50,000 angry bees.

Touré’s Real World Tip

Johnny and I battled bees for several hours and despite wearing full body bee suits, we were both stung – me twice and Johnny over twenty times. We all fear bee stings, but they’re less painful than you’d imagine and once you pull out the stinger the discomfort goes right away. The itching lasts for days but getting a needle at the doctor’s office hurts more than a bee sting. But, most bees aren’t fighters, usually just 15% of the hive are out to sting. They’re generally the first sort of bee you’d encounter in moving toward a hive, but once you’re past that wave—say, you’ve vacuumed them out of the air – then the rest are generally pretty docile, even while you’re ripping their hive apart. Also, if you decide you want to grab a snake just know that many snakes aren’t as fast as the human hand and no matter how fast it is, if you grab it right behind its head, there’s nothing it can do to you. That said, if you decide you want to grab a snake, first consider professional counseling.

Touré’s Journal Entry

My mentor Johnny Vincent is among the most intriguing men I have ever met. By that I mean he’s unlike anyone I’ve ever known. His Christian faith informs every aspect of his life – it’s why he can interact with dangerous animals every day without fear: because he feels he’s doing God’s work, helping creatures large and small, and also helping man have dominion over the animals for it says in the Bible, “let him have dominion over the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the air, and the beasts of the earth” (Gensis 1:26). And Johnny also knows in his bones that he’s not in charge, God is, and he won’t go until it’s his time to go and when it’s his time to go there’s nothing he can do about it.

Johnny interprets the Bible literally. He doesn’t believe in evolution, doesn’t believe in homosexuality, and doesn’t believe in abortion so fervently that he’s protested in front of abortion clinics and happily gone to jail for his cause. Midway through day one of taping we fell into a pattern of arguing about these issues every time the camera stopped rolling. To his credit, Johnny heard me out and the arguing remained passionate but respectful and polite even though I know my pro-choice, pro-gay rights, Darwinist perspective clearly shocked him.

During the shoot I caught a nasty cold and we had to stop for a few hours because I was drained, my nose weighed three pounds, and my throat was burning. All of us, including Johnny, went to Red Lobster for lunch, which I hoped would recharge me. Before I slumped onto the table from exhaustion I glanced at the menu, looking for the coldest thing they had so I could chill my hot throat. My heavy, watery eyes landed on the frozen margarita and I ordered it. Then Johnny told me if I drank it he’d have to move to another table because the Bible says do not sit with drunks. He could continue talking to us from that other table, but he couldn’t sit with us. I tried to point out that one drink does not make one a drunk but he wouldn’t hear of it. If the Bible said it, that was Johnny’s law. Wanting to avoid the awkward spectacle of him moving, I cancelled the drink and suffered through the rest of the meal.

On the last day of shooting I asked Johnny whether he thought Jesus was black, which, to me, the Bible clearly states. Olive brown skin, kinky, woolen hair, walking around all day kicking game while chronically unemployed—sounds like a brother to me. This question, I felt, would unveil whether or not Johnny was a true Bible literalist or a bit of a hypocrite. I asked him as we stood in a field, hoping a wild hog would come along. He looked me in the eye and said yes, he believed Jesus was black, or at least He looked more like me than like Johnny. That made me feel certain he had integrity.
