The Connor Larsen Show

Bees good, wasps bad — that was genuinely all Connor knew going in. What he found was that every civilization in history, independently and without talking to each other has been obsessed with these little creatures. The Egyptians. The Romans. The Celts. The Mormons. Napoleon. DARPA. All of them are obsessed with bees and the fact that we aren't might be part of a larger problem. Thanks for watching! Here's where to find more of Connor: 🎟️ Come see my live taping at The Lab at Zanies in Nashville 5/21/26 🎤 Website for live dates — ComedianConnorLarsen.com 📸 Instagram — instagram.com/connorlarsencomedy 🎵 TikTok — tiktok.com/@connorlarsencomedy 📺 Watch "Dusty and Connor React" with Dusty Slay — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QepninhUOd8 

This week Connor digs into the invasive plants, especially the ones in Tennessee — and how almost every one of them got here because some guy went "this'll be great" and the government paid for it.In this episode: - Why kudzu is the Kardashian of invasive species (famous, but not actually the worst) - The tree in Connor's backyard the USDA officially describes as smelling like rotting fish, dumpster, and worse Chinese privet — the $4-million-a-year problem Home Depot still sells you - The Bradford pear: a "sterile" suburban tree whose wild offspring now grows four-inch thorns that puncture tractor tires The Jurassic Park arc every invasive plant seems to follow Plus: what the 2008 housing crisis, the death of rock bands, and a shade tree in your aunt's subdivision have in common. — Thanks for watching!
