1
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Come to stuff you should know from house Stuff work

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: stocks dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. And

3
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm Josh Clark and Charles W. Chuck Bryant is with me.

4
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: He's got his glasses on, he's got his hair shorn,

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: his fingernails are chewed down to the quick. He's ready

6
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: to go. I was hoping we could open the show

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: with lakukaracha playing in the background. Well, oh yeah, we can't.

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can or not. I can't know.

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: There's no way we can't. Well, hold on, let's let's

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: humme it. We could probably do that, right, that's wayne.

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: People just imagine in your heads that you're sipping a

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 1: margharita and some mariachi band is playing lukukaracha right now.

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: Not to be confused with tequila, no, which is similar.

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Now I always confused it too, really well, not want

15
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: to hear him, but like if I think of la

16
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: kukaracha like I often think of Peewee dancing on the bar,

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: then I'm like, oh, yeah, this tequila. But you know

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: what Luca lookukarat is about out. I assumed cockroaches, but

19
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: probably not. No, a cockroach who has lost one of

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: his legs and it's having a hard time. I just

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: found that out today. I did not know that. Look

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: at me. I didn't either until like just a few

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: hours ago, Chuck, I was once like, you naive to

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: the way of Kaa. Alright, so we talked about lakukaratas

25
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: you'd hoped you feel good. Yeah, have you ever seen

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: the X Files episode with the cockroaches. I don't know. Oh,

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: it is perfect. It's one of the top five. And

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: it's not even like a part of it, part of

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: the big bigger picture once, it's like its own thing. Yeah,

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: they have the name for those episodes. I can't remember

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: what it's called. But like when it's just about a

32
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: shape shift or and it has nothing to do with

33
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: the overarching conspiracy. Yeah, it's one of those, and it's

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: just about cockroaches and a cockroach infestation may or may

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: not exist. But at one point, like it's getting really

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: like the cockroaches are everywhere and like everybody's starting to

37
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: go a little crazy and all that, and they they

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: m digitized the cockroach like crawling across your TV screen

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: like obviously not part of the scene, and it looks

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: like it was on your screen. So like, you're it

41
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: looks like there's a cockroach in your house. It was,

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: it was, It's a good episode. Yeah, I was late

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: on the X Files. I didn't watch it when it

44
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: was out. And then when I moved to New Jersey

45
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: they started doing reruns and Justin I was living at

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: the time, was like, you never watched X Files. It

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: was like no, And then it was on every night.

48
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 1: I watched the crap out of it that did you

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: see the Charles Nelson Riley one where he's like an artist?

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: It's jose Chunks from outer Space? Remember where like could

51
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Jessie the Body Venture and Alex Trebecker in it? Really,

52
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I must not have seen them all

53
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: because I was catching them on reruns. You didn't see

54
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: like some of the best ones. Go see go watch

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: those two. I know you have access to them. All right, Okay? Done? So, Um,

56
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: we're talking cockroaches here and apparently also just through the

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: body of ventura. Um, did you know, Chuck, the cockroaches

58
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: are extremely clean insects. Well always said the same thing

59
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: about vultures. They are personally clean. Apparently they do track

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot of germs spread disease. They apparently leave a

61
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: trail of fecal material everywhere they go, because it's like

62
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: a bit of bread crumbs for them to follow back.

63
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: They spread bacteria, of course, in that fecal material. Um,

64
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: there are proteins that set off up to six of

65
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: allergy sufferers allergies. They'll eat garbage and waste, they'll they'll

66
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: crawl on poop that your dog laid down in the

67
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: yard and eat it if your dog doesn't need it first.

68
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: And yet a cockroach itself is very clean because they're

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: extremely um intense groomers. First of all, they keep their

70
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: antenna clean because they have fatty secretion or some sort

71
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: of secretion that if they don't clean it off, we'll

72
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: block their antenna from sensing things. So they constantly clean

73
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: their antenna. But apparently they also clean their feet and everything.

74
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: And I read about a study. It was pretty almost anecdotal,

75
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: it was so outside of the scientific method. But um,

76
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: they took a swab from a guy's hands who hadn't

77
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: washed his hands for two hours, and they took a

78
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: swab off of the foot or tarsus, i should say,

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: of a cockroach who had been walking through garbage, and

80
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: then two hours later, they took a swab and um,

81
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: they put it in culture and the guy grew way

82
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: more bacteria than the cockroaches culture did. I don't care,

83
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: which means that that man is dirty year than a cockroach.

84
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: They proved it. I would still smash the cockroach with

85
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: my flip flop. See. I don't believe there's a there's

86
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: a sect out there, and I don't know if it's

87
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: Hinduism or Jainism. It's one of those two where the

88
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: the monks of this sect um carry little brooms hand

89
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: brooms to kind of brush everything off wherever they sit

90
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: so they don't accidentally kill even the tiniest I think

91
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that's great, and I kind of agree with that. I

92
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: think everything is a right to life. Now, you have

93
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: been on record on this very show talking about killing

94
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: cockroaches because the way the skitter. No, no, no, not cockroaches.

95
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: I am down with killing mosquitoes and ticks. No, you

96
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 1: talked about the cockroaches. I don't kill cockroaches. You talked

97
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: very much about how fast they are and how they

98
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: skitter and how that freaks you out. I don't kill them. No,

99
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't kill roaches. I'm telling you, like I defy

100
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: you to find the time stamp. All right, somebody please

101
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: help me. Okay. Um, I will kill the crap out

102
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: of a mosquito, a cockroach, and um, I will generally

103
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: shoe a fly. Now i'll kill lies. I generally won't

104
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: kill a fly because they're not a big problem. But

105
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: you don't have flies around you all the time now

106
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: like me. But um, mosquitoes and cockroaches I will kill.

107
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: And that's about it. Yeah, everything else right to life.

108
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: Cockroaches you must die. So cockroaches are Um. I guess

109
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: they understand that Chuck wants them to die. Many people do.

110
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: They're very disliked, which has possibly accounted for them evolving

111
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: to be really difficult to kill. For one, they're nocturnal,

112
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: so they're hiding away from us when we're up because

113
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: we're diurnal. Does the opposite of nocturnal. Yeah. Um, they

114
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: have sensors, little sensors in there. Um, we'll get to

115
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 1: that spoiler. They run really fast, they do. They reproduce

116
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: extremely quickly. And there's more than four thousand species of cockroach.

117
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 1: So you would think the whole rule would be infested

118
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: with cockroach is but not true. It's actually mainly just

119
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: one species, the German cockroach, that is h accountable for

120
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: most infestations in homes around the world. That's right, that

121
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: is one of the four main species that you might see,

122
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: the German, the American a k. A. Palmetto bug, which

123
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: are big, Oh yeah, man creepy. There's one man that

124
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: like in South America. It's like as big as your hand,

125
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: six inches lunch, one foot wing diameter wingspan. The brown

126
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: banded cocka roach and the oriental cocka roach um are

127
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: the four that you're likely to come across in your life.

128
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: And the German cockroach an American are the ones you're

129
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: going to see here in the United States. And they

130
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: have been brought here by you because they get that

131
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: you know, they're not obviously gonna fly from continent. In

132
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: the continent, they hit tribes on airplanes and boats and

133
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: getting chipping containers and in your mouth, moving boxes and

134
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: ghosery bags, and they are ubiquitous, and they, like all

135
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: insects are most insects, they do a service. Most of

136
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: them are going to be out in the woods like

137
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: chewing stuff and pooping it out and being a part

138
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: of the ecosystem um. But it's the ones in the

139
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: home that really freaked people out right, And Chuck, I

140
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: think one of the more fascinating things. And by the way,

141
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: Rod just turned out to be pretty fascinating, even more

142
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: than I expect him. I just thought there were a

143
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: few things that were fascinating where you creeped out, like

144
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: reading this or do so it's not like that you

145
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: just hate them, Yeah, I mean there, it's like you

146
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: previously talked about that you deny. It's the way they

147
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: move and how fast they are is what creeps me out.

148
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: And like, there's no greater fear than laying in bed

149
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: and seeing one on the ceiling above you, just waiting

150
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: for it to fall into your mouth. Yeah, but apparently

151
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: they are pretty good at not falling off of the ceiling.

152
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: That's true. Um, And they've had a long time to

153
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: practice this kind of stuff. They've been around for about

154
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: three twenty million years, longer than dinosaurs, way longer than

155
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: dinosas they survived that extinction event they did, and well

156
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about it, Chuck. Just how much of an

157
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: extinction event can a cockroach survive? Can they survive a

158
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: nuclear fallout, a nuclear war that would kill all humans?

159
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: Could a cockroach survive as they are rumored to. Uh

160
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: maybe that's sadly, it's like we don't know because that

161
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. Not sadly, thankfully that hasn't happened. But um,

162
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: the answer is some people say maybe, some people say

163
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: maybe not. Um. What we definitely know is they probably

164
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: could not survive the nuclear winter because they like warm,

165
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: moist places and the nuclear winter would not be good

166
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: for cockroaches. Apparently they're less susceptible the radiation poisoning and

167
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: humans are, but more than most insects. So as far

168
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: as insects goes, they might not be the best candidate, right,

169
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so maybe, but probably not. I'm kind of

170
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: on that side that they probably wouldn't survive a nuclear war,

171
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: so we're talking about radiation though not like the blast

172
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: obviously that would kill everything, you know. Um, alright, so

173
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: they survived the dinosaurs extinction event. They have been around

174
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: for three million years. They are very hearty little insects.

175
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about their bodies. They're creepy,

176
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 1: little crunchy bodies. So, um, most of them are between

177
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: two inch half an inch and two inches long. They're

178
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: brown or black usually and that length is minus their

179
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: intended that's just their bodieside, you don't and their heads

180
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: point downward like as Tracy Wilson, who wrote this article

181
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: points out, almost as if they're built for ramming or

182
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: just searching for stuff. You know, it's another way to

183
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: look at it. The males are the ones that have wings.

184
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: Females may have wings, but their vestigial wings they can't

185
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: fly with them. Males can fly not very well though,

186
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: which makes them even more horrific when a palmetal bug,

187
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: a big one is flying at your face because you

188
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: know he has no control exactly. Yeah, it's sort of

189
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: like the cicada. Like they're I don't think their wind

190
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: wings were made for flying, but if they jump off

191
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: of something high, they can help them a little bit,

192
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: uh to glide perhaps and not like hit the ground

193
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: is hard um short distances basically, and their their insects,

194
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: which means that they have three main body regions, the head,

195
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: the thorax, and the abdomen. They have an exoskeleton that

196
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: they molt as they grow, and they mold a number

197
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: of times, depending on the cockroach species, over the course

198
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: of a couple of weeks or over the course of

199
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years, and their lifespans also are um

200
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: uh in step with that molting schedule. Um. But they

201
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: cockroach will mold several times over its life before it

202
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: becomes an adult. Yes, and when they molt, um, it's

203
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: the same thing as when they're born. They're gonna look

204
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: white and um that's probably kind of creepy looking. I've

205
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: never seen a molted cockroach like a skinless cockroach. It's

206
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: like the lady in hell raizor before she uh and uh.

207
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: They're they're pretty susceptible to injury and death obviously when

208
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: but when after they've molted before bursicon, which is a hormone,

209
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: makes their exoskeleton hard and dark once again. Then they

210
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: have their little armor um, which is no match for

211
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: a flip flop by uh. They can regrow lost limbs

212
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: when it molts, which is pretty cool, and they can

213
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: even put molting off for a little while in order

214
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: to regrow a lost limb. Um in their head. Let's

215
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: go over their head. They have eyes and their antenna,

216
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: which we've talked about, which we'll get into more specifically.

217
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: And there Tracy loves saying mouth parts. Yeah, she writes

218
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: a lot of these articles. Yeah, she she will never

219
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: just say mouths. Yeah, it's not a true mouth apparently,

220
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: it's yeah, a mouth part. Yeah. They do have brains,

221
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,439
Speaker 1: by the way, and they are the brain is in

222
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: the head, but the brain is not like a human

223
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: or a mammal brain. It's not doing it's like it's

224
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: not connected to a big central nervous system or anything

225
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: like that. Right, there is a central nervous system that

226
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,479
Speaker 1: it's not in the head. Um. There's a h it's

227
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: some sort of ganglia um that allows the roach to

228
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: continue living for up to a week after it loses

229
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: its head. Yeah. This is a pretty good roach fact. Okay,

230
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: I think okay, Um, So you can cut a roach

231
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: his head off and it will live for a week

232
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: and do all the normal things that a roach does

233
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: for a week, and then when it finally dies, it

234
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: dies because of thirst. Yeah, yeah, because they they actually breathe.

235
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: They don't breathe through the nose and mouth. They breathe

236
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: through their sides. There's little holes in their side called

237
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: spiricles and trachea tubes deliver the oxygen to the organs

238
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: and tissues through their sides. So there's you know, cut

239
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: off the head and it just dies of thirst. Yeah,

240
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: which is my new favorite game. Actually that's not true

241
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: because that's like future serial killer stuff. It is like

242
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: you torture cockroaches, and you torture animals, and you torture humans.

243
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: Once you've moved down to the chipmunks, it's probably beyond

244
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: the point of no return. You're a bad person. Jeffrey

245
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 1: Dahmer tortured animals. He would lay down and uh like

246
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: he would come across a dead deer in the forest

247
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: and like lay down with it and spoon with it.

248
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: It's like a Johnny Depp and Dead Man. Did he

249
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: do that? Did the exact same thing? Well, maybe he

250
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: was a serial killer. I don't think he was. He

251
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: was a killer, but done a serial killer. That just

252
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: shows how messed up Dahmer was that man. Yeah, to

253
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: like that was a connection to him, was like holding

254
00:14:35,720 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: this dead animal, all right, like the cockroaches. Um, so

255
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: that's the head. Yeah, let's talk about their eyes. Their

256
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: eyes are compound eyes. Um. So they see the world

257
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: in a mosaic like a fly. Like a fly, all right,

258
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: So we talked about their eyes. I actually asked Tracy today,

259
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: I was like, you you wrote a bunch of insect articles.

260
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: Didn't you ever get sick about talking about the head,

261
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: the abdomin, the thorax, mouthparts, the legs. They're all the

262
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: same for insects, No, they're not. They all have these

263
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: they're all the same, but they all have different little

264
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: adaptations that make them different. I was like, how did

265
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: you not get tired of it? She said, she was

266
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: fascinated the whole time. She said, san x, that's trable, nit,

267
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: that's tracy of stuff you miss in history class. By

268
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: the way, plug plug. Um, So we talked about the antenna.

269
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: They are movable and they are known as antennal flagella,

270
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: and uh, they're actually tiny, tiny little hair covered segments

271
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: and like it's it's thicker where it attaches at the head,

272
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: and it gets thinner and thinner and thinner until it's

273
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: just like a human hair almost at the end. And

274
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: these things since, um, they smell sort of right, Yeah,

275
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: they basically I guess, uh sense pheromones. Yeah, the there

276
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: you have it. They sense pheromones, They pick up odors.

277
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: I think they they're pretty finally tuned to the environment. Yeah,

278
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: but that's like really how they're getting around, right, Like

279
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: even though they have eyes, isn't the antenna really the secret?

280
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: I believe? So okay, um, chuck, you want to talk

281
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: about mouth parts? Yes, Um. They are a lot different

282
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: than mammals, as Tracy points out, Um, but they do

283
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: have parts that sort of are akin to how mammal's

284
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: mouth work. For instance, there's a laborum and labium and

285
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: they form the lips. Uh. Mandibles, there's two of those,

286
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: and they cut and grind things like your teeth might,

287
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: which is very important because roaches eat literally anything. Yeah,

288
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes that's like wood and other stuff like they

289
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to eat, but they can. That's right,

290
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: go ahead, thanks to the mandibles and some other things

291
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: that we'll get to. Uh. And then they have to stop.

292
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: And then there's a couple of maxilla, and they basically

293
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: manipulate the food chewing. Yeah, like a squirrel, Yeah, squirrels

294
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: arms or hands, yeah, or a dung beetle. Yeah. The thorax,

295
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 1: which is one of the body parts that one of

296
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: the three pieces of the body um, and that has

297
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: the three pairs of legs and the wings and the

298
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: legs are so named after the part of the thorax

299
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: that they're attached to right, So you get the pro,

300
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: the mezzo, and meta. So the pro is closest to

301
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: the head mezzo middle. Yeah, the pro are like the

302
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: brakes apparently, and the yeah, the pro Yeah, that's they

303
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: just do stopping. Yeah, the middle ones can make the

304
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: roach go forward or backward. And then so that's the

305
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: mesothoracic legs. Then the metathoracic legs. The ones in the

306
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: rear are the ones that propel the roach forward. And

307
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: here's another good roach fact. You take this one. Man

308
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: is awesome. Uh, they can move about fifty body links

309
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: in a second, which is up to three miles an hour.

310
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: Sounds very slow to us, but think about this in

311
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: roach terms. That's right. If that were a human being, Uh,

312
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: that would mean we would be running two hundred miles

313
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: an hour. Yeah, that's why they look so fast. It's

314
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: because they are hard. They are fast. Now, like to us,

315
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: three miles an hour is not that much but very

316
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: slow walk. That equals two hundred miles an hour in

317
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: reality for us. Yeah, and part two of that roach fact,

318
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: which I think is just horrifying. When a roach runs

319
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: really really fast, sometimes it gets air and just is

320
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: basically running on its back legs only, but the front

321
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: the other legs are still moving. So that's just like

322
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: my worst nightmare. They're coming after you, exactly, man. So

323
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: they the three pairs are all built the exact same

324
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: They all have the same parts, but they are different lengths.

325
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 1: They function slightly differently. Um, but they all moved the

326
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: same way. It just depends on, you know, what the

327
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: roach wants to do. Like we said, the pro thorastic

328
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: legs active breaks. The mesothorastic um can move it forward

329
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: or back, and then the meta push it forward and

330
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: and they apparently move like poco sticks and then back

331
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: and forth too, and they work in conjunction to allow

332
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,959
Speaker 1: the roach to kind of walk over just about anything. So, um,

333
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: when the the pro and meta thoracic legs on one

334
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: side are moving, the meso thor ascic leg the middle

335
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: one on the other side is moving. So that's how

336
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: they move, which apparently it's a little a TV. It's

337
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: like a four by four. Yeah, what's that? Uh. She

338
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: also points out that there are, um the parts of

339
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: the leg you can sort of approximate as if it

340
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: were a human. They have a tricnter that's like our

341
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: knees uh femur. An tibia um resemble arthai and shins,

342
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 1: and then they have the tarsus, which is the ankle

343
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: and foot right, and the tarsus is hooked in a roach,

344
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: which allows it to walk on the ceiling over your head,

345
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: most frightening thing ever, and on walls. And when a

346
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: roaches on the ground, it runs very quickly, but when

347
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: it's on a ceiling, it moves much more methodically because

348
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't want to follow them upside down. Yea, if

349
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: three miles an hour equals two an hour to us, yeah,

350
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: imagine what a ten ft drop equals to a poor

351
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: little roach. Well, not enough, because it lands, flips itself over,

352
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: and then runs away again. But it's humiliated, that's true.

353
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: Uh twenty seven times per second, these legs can move

354
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: back and forth. So these are fast, fast little boogers,

355
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: which is why you previously talked about hating them because

356
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: they were so fast. I really I don't I'm gonna

357
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: find it. Okay, I'll bet I didn't say I'd kill him.

358
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: I've long advocated for road to his rights, all right,

359
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 1: So now we're the abdomen um. They do have a heart.

360
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: It is a tool instructure and does move blood along,

361
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: but it does not carry um oxygen around, so A,

362
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: the blood is not red, and B they move oxygen

363
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: and blood around in other ways through basically empty spaces

364
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: called hemo hemo coles. Yeah, it's pretty much the absence

365
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: of a fact there. Yeah, well it's in the air

366
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: to carries blood around to the organs. But yeah, she says,

367
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: the blood just travels through these spaces. And then rather

368
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: than having to worry about like a spare tire or

369
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: something like that, I like a fat belly. Right, they

370
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: have a actual fat body and it's just this little

371
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: area where they store all the fat in their body.

372
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: Very smart. I have that same place. It's between my

373
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: chin and my waist. Yeah. I guess they do have

374
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: to worry about a spare tire, but it's a very

375
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: specific one. Yeah, that's true, you know. Okay, so let's

376
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: talk about digestion um. The the digestive system is in

377
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: the abdomen, and it's really not super unlike it's just

378
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: like a simplified version of our own or any mammals

379
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: digestive system. But like you said, they can eat things

380
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: like in digestings like wood and cellulose, so they do

381
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: need some help from specialized parts, one of which is

382
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: called a crop. Right, that's um it basically holds the

383
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: food while apart behind it um a toothy section in

384
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 1: the digestive. So that is gross. And it's equal to

385
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: like a an octopus having a beak, crushing beak. They're squishy,

386
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: they're not supposed to have a hard beak in the middle.

387
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, it's called a probe and triculus on

388
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: the roach, and that just pulverizes the stuff like wood

389
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: or whatever it's tough to digest, and then and then

390
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: it pushes it back. This this pulverized part to the

391
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: gastric cassilla, which houses enzymes, microbes, things that break it

392
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: down even further. And all this is just the preliminary stuff.

393
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: This is like what we do in our mouth. Um.

394
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: All this is going through this process in a roach

395
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: before it even gets to the part where it starts

396
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: to digest. This this is sort of gross, like the digestion.

397
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: When I was we haven't said the word bolus yet, Well,

398
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: we just did. Uh. And then the searcy that we

399
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. These are the uh. It sort of

400
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: looks like short little antenna sticking out from the butt

401
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: area on each side. And this is what allows the

402
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: roach to not get like whenever you go to get

403
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: that flip flop and you rare back and go to

404
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: hit the roach and as you're coming in, it just

405
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: like darts out of the way. You're like, how did

406
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: it know? How did it know? It's because the searcy

407
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: they pick up on air flow and they can actually

408
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: feel and since that shoe coming. So if you're if

409
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: you're unto killing roaches like me, you have to be

410
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: swift and and stealthy and come at it hard and

411
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: with vigor and with a I guess a paddle that

412
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: has holes in it? Hey maybe so drag you might

413
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: be honest something there. Oh no, you invented sharknado. So

414
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: the roach paddle? Um so, I guess. So that's a roach.

415
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: That's the roach's body. Let's talk about reproduction, because they

416
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: do reproduce depending on the species. Um. I believe the

417
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: German roach uh can produce something in the order of

418
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: like eighty thousand offspring? Is that correct? No? Way more

419
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: than that. The German produces three the German cockroach and

420
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: it's offspring will eventually produce about three hundred thousand per year.

421
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: So a mother and her her kids. Yeah, like that,

422
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: the family tree from that one cockroach will eventually number

423
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand in a year. Right, But think about this,

424
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 1: Then one of those kids and then her offspring will

425
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: be another three hundred thousand. Now I think that counts.

426
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: I think that's the whole Okay, Well, then one of

427
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: those three hundred thousand, we'll have more kids and another

428
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: three hundred thousands. It goes exponentially kicks in somewhere. Exponentiality

429
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: kicks in at some point. Yeah, an American cockroaches only

430
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: produce about eight hundred babies a year. So I got

431
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: something from Believe it or Not. The orcan website has

432
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: a out of really good scientific information. Uh. Did you

433
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: go and look at it? Uh? And they talked about

434
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: female courtship. Um. They begin courtship, it says, by raising

435
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: their wings and exposing their internal membranes and expanding their

436
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 1: genital chamber. Hey, boys, out internal membrane exactly. My genital

437
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: chamber is wide open and ready. I'm gonna release a pheromone.

438
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: Hey man, this is science, this is science. They released

439
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 1: the pheromones to attract males, and um, that's the calling position.

440
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: And then the males that pick up on these pheromones

441
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: approached the female, they flap their wings a little bit

442
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: to say, hey, I like what you got cooking there,

443
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: and then mating commences. It says when a male cockroach

444
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 1: backs into a female cockroach and deposits sperm so little,

445
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: a little like you know, it's from the rear to

446
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: the rear. You know what I'm saying. Let's go back

447
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: to reproduction. Yeah, we used to be really good at

448
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: stuff like this. And by the way, wasps, well, actually

449
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: there's just a side note. Wasps will actually sting cockroaches

450
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: and lay eggs inside of a cockroach like baby Wasps

451
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,239
Speaker 1: can be borne out of a cockroach body. Right, They

452
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: incubate in the roach and I guess probably eat it

453
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: alive from the inside out. There's a movie. I'm just

454
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: gonna start saying that about everything. So there's a couple

455
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: of ways that a mother roach, once her eggs are fertilized,

456
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: can produce offspring um, and a couple of them involves

457
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: something with one of the worst words ever in my opinion,

458
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: the oothica oh th h e c A. Yeah, the otha.

459
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: You've never been to Outhca. It's nice. I prefer Oothica

460
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: upstate Uka. So that's basically just like an egg sack

461
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: that the eggs develop in. And it can either be

462
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: inside the mom, which makes her Oh vo viviparis ovovivi Paris, seriously,

463
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: that's the word porous Paris, or it can be on

464
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: the outside of her, which makes her over Paris. And

465
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: if it's over Paris, then she can just kind of

466
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: like abandon the sack, cover it up with some newspaper

467
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. Sometimes they good luck or some

468
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: of them. It depends on the species, carry that around

469
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 1: with them and then actually care for the young after

470
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: they're born like the good mom should. And then there's viviparis,

471
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: which is basically like eggs developing in fluid like in

472
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: a human in the interest and in ovo vivi Paris

473
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: and ovivi Paris. I'm sorry viviparis. Yeah you confused yet,

474
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: imagine following along with just your ear and I'm looking

475
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: at words. So it helps, um the eggs are born

476
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: or the young come out live. Yeah, they actually give

477
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: birth to little baby cockroaches. So, like we said, the

478
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: German cockroach can produce three hundred thousand offspring. The German

479
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: cockroach and her offspring can produce three hundred thousand cockroaches

480
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: in a year. Um. And then the Americans and we

481
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: talked about nymphs. Apparently the nymph when it's born is

482
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: fleck of dust size maybe very very small. Um. And

483
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of them, don't forget so. And they're white,

484
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: they're waiting to molt. They're very um easy to kill. Yes,

485
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: And if you're a common centipede, you love to eat

486
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: these things. Imagine seeing that on a microscopic level, a

487
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: centipede eating baby cockroaches. There's a movie for you. Um. Also,

488
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: here's another good roach fact is some mothers that care

489
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: for their offspring after birth. Some of them just you know,

490
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: either dump the ka or they just have the babies

491
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: and leave, but some actually raise their little babies, and

492
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: scientists believe that they the offspring actually recognized the mother. Yeah.

493
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand why that's so hard to believe. Well,

494
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: because it's an insect. Man, it just seems like a

495
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: very mammalion there, not even ammalion, just like it doesn't

496
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: seem like something from the insect world like, gives them

497
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: a heart that I previously didn't believe. I know, I know.

498
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: Up with cockroaches, I don't know. It just puts a

499
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: face on them that I never really considered as I

500
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: smashed them, because you can't see their face. That's right,

501
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: um and cockroaches. If you want to make them a

502
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: little more um humanlike, a little more personable, give that

503
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 1: the little hat in a cane. There's social Oh yeah,

504
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: they're they're not They're they're related to termites, it turns out.

505
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: And actually, I've read a fascinating fact. I read one

506
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: of the best magazine articles I've ever read in my life,

507
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: and I've read a lot of magazine articles in the

508
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: most recent issue I believe it was of Harper's and

509
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: it's about ten Ways to Satisfy your Man. No, it's early.

510
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: It's an article about the early mycologists who discovered westerners,

511
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: I should say, who discovered and making air quotes like

512
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: magic mushrooms, and in between that time and the time

513
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: they became outlawed, and then what happened after they became outlawed,

514
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: and how they are all these outlaw like fungal experts

515
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: who all had like PhDs and doctorates. But we're also like,

516
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: might as well have just been bikers growing these huge

517
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: crops of mushrooms. Um, and there's a murder involved in

518
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: all that. But there's this it's an awesome article, check

519
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: it out. But um, there's this one fact in there

520
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: that there's a type of fungus that has evolved to

521
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: mimic termite eggs so perfectly that it can fool a

522
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: termite into thinking it's her own eggs. And termites um

523
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 1: salivate on their eggs, they keep them moist constantly. Um,

524
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: and this fungus needs to be kept moist, so it'll

525
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: be moist by a termite that thinks this fungus is

526
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: one of her eggs. Does that fungus then later on

527
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: kill the termite? Probably? Okay, because that would be I

528
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: believe that's irony, even though we've been told we misused

529
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: that word. Thanks for the ride, lady. Um, Wow, we

530
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: should do one of termites. Okay. Well, I say that

531
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: because apparently road eggs need to be kept moist as well.

532
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: Yes they do. I don't know. Do they regurgitate on

533
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: them to do so? They them? Well, another way they're

534
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 1: related to termites are they like to hang out together.

535
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: They like to live in groups where they differ as

536
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: termites actually have sort of like bees, to have very

537
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 1: specific roles in their colonies and a social structure that's

538
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: very organized. Cockroaches ain't like that. They ain't like that,

539
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: but they still like to hang out with one another.

540
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: And um, they actually make decisions like collectively together on

541
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: where they want to roost, you know, which is an

542
00:32:54,200 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: emergent system, right, I think so is that what that's called. Yeah,

543
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: they've done studies where they found, um, like big large

544
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: numbers of cockroaches, if they don't have enough space, actually

545
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: divide up evenly. Yeah, into like the smallest number of

546
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: spaces they can go, like, well, there's two hundred of us,

547
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: so let's divide up into three groups and go to

548
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: three different places and you go, you guys go there,

549
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: we'll go there, and we'll go here, right, and there's

550
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: always one dude cockroach out. It's like, what about me?

551
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: It would be a Pixar movie. Yeah, that's a good one. Um.

552
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: They're they're also social and that they follow one another,

553
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: although not necessarily a leader, but I guess whoever they

554
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: think has the best idea. That's the collective conscious. Yes,

555
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: And there was a group of scientists that created something

556
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: called in spots and it is a robotic cockroach and

557
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: they codd it with cockroach pheromones and introduced it to

558
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: a colony of roaches that accepted it. And then they

559
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: started to mess with the roaches. Of course, they had

560
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: um in spot lead them out into daylight so that

561
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 1: they abandoned their nocturnality. Um, they would wander out in

562
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: the open following this thing. He got him to move

563
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: um and he brought them fire. Oh really, man, I

564
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: was like, this is getting good. That reminds me of

565
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: the I know I talked about Errol Morris at nausea.

566
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: But fast, cheap and out of control is uh. The

567
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: robot scientists makes robots that mimic cockroaches and other small bugs.

568
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: That's really neat. And he said, one potential application one

569
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: day is to have like to imagine like thousands of

570
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: these that clean things, like these robot bugs that you own.

571
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: Well you just like hit a button and like two

572
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: hundred of them dust your television and then go back

573
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: to their little place. It's pretty neat. It's like scrubbing bubbles. Yeah,

574
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: or like the X files when it when across the TV. Yeah,

575
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: that rots wasn't cleaning anything though, what's scrubbing bubbles? It's

576
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: like a type of cleaner, it is. Yeah, all right,

577
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: is that a plug? I don't think so. Okay, it

578
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: was just a free association, all right. So let's get

579
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: to let's say you're like me and not like Josh,

580
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: and you don't want roaches in your home. I don't

581
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: want roaches in my home. It's just when I see

582
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: a roach, I will, I will gingerly pick it up

583
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: with a paper towel and toss it outside. I don't

584
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: at all, it doesn't okay, No, no, I don't squeeze

585
00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: it at all. I just very gently, like, al right,

586
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,280
Speaker 1: what happens if that roach like gets free and crawls

587
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: up your arm? Up your Okay, but I hopefully I'm

588
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: doing it outside, all right. I just want to see

589
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: where it stops. I'm trying to get a feel out

590
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: your position fully. Um yeah, if if it's injured, if

591
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: I accidentally injure it, I'll go ahead and kill it. Okay.

592
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: Well that's really you're quite the humanitarian or insectarian insectaria.

593
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: So let's say you don't want roaches in your house,

594
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: which is pretty much everybody. They say, the first thing

595
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: to do is try and seal it off. Good luck

596
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: with that, because roaches can fit into cracks that are

597
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: as small as one six of an inch one point

598
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: five millimeters. And just show me a house that doesn't

599
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: have or at least maybe some new houses, you might

600
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 1: have some luck. But if you live in an old

601
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: house like me, there's there's always cracks. Like animals can

602
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: get through these cracks. So if you realize you've got

603
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: a bunch of cracks, seal them up as best you can. Yeah,

604
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: But if that's still not doing the trick. Um, they

605
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: say that you want to go with a bait trap, yeah,

606
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: rather than a spray, because you when you use a

607
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: bait trap, you become like a pioneer tracker. Um. You

608
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: can put the trap somewhere and if it's not attracting

609
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: roaches even though you know you have roaches, Um, then

610
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: you need to move your trap. And when you move

611
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: your trap and start of tracking roaches, then you can

612
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: tell where you're coming from. Then you can seal up

613
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: those cracks. That's right. You you come to know the

614
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: roaches using the traps with a spray. It's just like

615
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: you're just spraying blindly. Can we do one in fleas

616
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: or just ticks? Just ticks. We need to do fleas too,

617
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: because I have battle fleas. UM. They say, don't use like,

618
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: don't waste your money on those sound devices. They say,

619
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 1: this don't work. That emit like some like a sound

620
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: that only a roach can hear. Um. You want to

621
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: keep your house clean? Yeah, keep your house clean anyway, Tracy. Uh.

622
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen The Simpsons where margin Homer lose

623
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 1: the kids and have to go take a parenting class,

624
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: that's that this paragraph reminds me of. How about you

625
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 1: loop up after every meal exactly, clean and seal all

626
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: of your food, or cover and seal it. Wipe down

627
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: counters and tables after eating, Sweeper mop your floor after cooking.

628
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: Eat only in your dining area. I guess if you

629
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: eat over your sink, run the water afterward to clean

630
00:37:54,560 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: out any crumbs that may have dropped out of your mouth. Um.

631
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: And as a last resort, you could use poisons, but

632
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: I would never recommend that putting poisons in your household. Um.

633
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: You can always call your friendly neighborhood exterminator and they'll

634
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: take care of it for you, sure you know, Or

635
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: you can call an in spot and he can lead

636
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: all the concerts is out like the pie piper. There

637
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 1: are a few natural things though, Yeah, some things have

638
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: been shown to work. Nepa talk tone. It's in two

639
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: forms of catting up. So if you have a cat,

640
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: you might just kill two birds with one stone um

641
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: a sineole sine ala um also known as eucalyptole, and

642
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: that is in bay leaf and then ossage orange oil.

643
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: And they don't know what in that is the magic potion,

644
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: but apparently that works. Yeah, so if you're into natural

645
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: you could try some of those things. Just put bay

646
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: leaves and catting up all over the place, see what happens,

647
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: and or toil and you'll never have a roach again.

648
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: Or you can just clean up your house. I don't

649
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: see many roaches. It's good. I mean, I'm surprised with

650
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 1: the amount of moisture and how all my house is

651
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: and how like the fact that I eat all over

652
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: my house and spill things everywhere, you know, garbage laying around.

653
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: It's like gum stick to your floor. Yeah, but I

654
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: don't see roaches much. When I do. I have my

655
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: friend in the foot flop, I'm sure you do, and

656
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,759
Speaker 1: coming soon the roach paddle. Yeah, I see. I don't

657
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: feel as bad because, especially after I saw those reproductive figures,

658
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I'm not putting a dent in the roach population. Yeah,

659
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: I can tell you the ones that you're killing. Care

660
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. It's sorry to tell. With

661
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: their brains since smashed on the bottom of man. Well,

662
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: if you want to learn more about cockroaches, you can

663
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: type that word into the search bar how stuff works

664
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: dot com and it'll bring up this fine article. And

665
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: I said a search bar, which means it's time for

666
00:39:56,120 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: message break. Yeah, this is from an Englishman who went

667
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: up a hill and came down a mountain. That's not true.

668
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,080
Speaker 1: Self experimenter though when I was a kid. Guy's about

669
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: eighteen actually, And notice that when you get water up

670
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: your nose, the effect is all consuming. Can't seem to

671
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: think about anything, feel anything, or do anything except think

672
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,240
Speaker 1: about that water that you just sniffed up your footer.

673
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: He's English at a similar thought about what happens to you,

674
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: both psychologically and physically when you get soap in your

675
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: eye because that stinging sensation and the resulting fevered knuckling

676
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: of the optic cavity, for is, for a short time,

677
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,959
Speaker 1: the only thing in the universe. So while it's slaying

678
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: in the bathtub with the reflected sunlight sparkling through the

679
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: red tint of my closed eyes, contemplating this phenomena, I

680
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: decided to run my own experiment. I want to know

681
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: which of these all powerful sensations would eclipse the other.

682
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: So I got a nice big chunk of soap on

683
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,839
Speaker 1: one finger and simultaneously rubbed it vigorously into my eye

684
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: and ducked under the water, sniffing in deeply. The result was,

685
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: as you can imagine, quite horrific. I must have looked

686
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: like I was being fatally electrocuted. I thrashed and rubbed

687
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: and coughed and cried. My final conclusion, are you dying

688
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: to know what happened? Was that, unbelievably both experiences behaved

689
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: in some sort of quantum mechanical way where I was

690
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: all consumed by two separate, all consuming events at the

691
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: same time. So basically, it sucked really bad if you

692
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 1: shared this information with the world. However, no one else

693
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: will ever have to suffer this hitherto undocumented facet of reality,

694
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: right because that kind regards James Holmes, not the maniac version.

695
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: Did he say that? Unneth? He have the signature that

696
00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: was parenthetical? Yeah, from Manchester, England. So James, I don't

697
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: know why you do such a thing, sir, but I

698
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: raise a pint to you, Okayny and thanks? Yeah? Um,

699
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: isn't there like a whole movement like M plus one

700
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 1: or any equals one? The an equals one movement. It's

701
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 1: like self experimentation and is the study population? And so

702
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,080
Speaker 1: if any equals one, there's just one person yourself. Yeah.

703
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about sniffing water and putting soap in

704
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: your eyes. But he was a kid. He was only eighteen, right, James, Right, yeah, James,

705
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: not the maniac version. Thanks James. If you, uh anyone

706
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: else out there have a cool self experiment that you've done,

707
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: we want to hear about that all the time. Concorde

708
