We should've known he was the coolest man alive when we heard what his name was.

A beekeeper was forced to drive over 40 miles with over 3,000 bees loose within the cab of his truck. As reported by ABC News, Wallace Leatherwood - Coolest. Name. EVER. - calmly made the journey home when a container came loose and released the mini-stinging demons. However, Leatherwood claims he wasn't stung once during the entire drive. https://twitter.com/ABC/status/992690545360285696 Speaking to local news outlet WREG, Leatherwood said: "When I came [back to the truck], [one of the boxes] was black with bees, and there were bees everywhere. I thought, well, I don't know what to do." "It is dangerous. I know what you're going to say. 'Oh, you need to have an EpiPen and you should have a bee suit.' Well, I don't use a bee suit 99 percent of the time, so I'm just cool with them." "I didn't want to lose my bees. They were $165 [per box]. I thought, well, I'm gonna stop in where my son works at Ken Wilson Ford. They're a bunch of scaredy-cats." Which is where this second video comes from: https://twitter.com/ABC/status/992123382039744512 I think it is fair to say that we all have a new life goal, and that is to be even one-tenth as cool as Wallace Leatherwood.
