It's blown my mind. Didn't 70 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: know this was a thing. I mean, you do see 71 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: the stories, you know, every year. I don't even remember 72 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: what time of year it is, if it's in spring 73 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: or if it's sometime in the fall. There's a place where, 74 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, every year they get covered in like silk. 75 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: It's like off the water and they're just covered in 76 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: silk and it's from spiders like come flying in and 77 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: just laying webs all over the place. And the spiders 78 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: are just taking over. No clue where it's at. I 79 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: know it's not here, but it's a thing, right. You 80 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: always see the pictures. You see it on Facebook. People 81 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: are like, oh, it's that time, and everybody's like oop, 82 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: nopeppe they were gonna live there like this. Turns out 83 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: spiders are doing this shit everywhere. Okay, they are flying 84 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: around doing something called ballooning, and they're hopping a riot 85 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: on a current in the atmosphere. And these spiders, they're 86 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: just flying through the air into the atmosphere. This is 87 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: a true thing. Let me read this to Ballooning, sometimes 88 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: called kiting, is a process by which spiders and some 89 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: other small invertebrates move through the air by releasing one 90 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: or more gossamer threads to catch the wind, causing them 91 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: to become airborne. At the mercy of air currents and 92 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: electric fields. They are flying through the air, traveling, ballooning 93 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: in the atmosphere, these little spiders. It blew my mind. 94 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: First thing that I thought of was, no, I don't 95 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 1: want anything to do with traveling spiders. The spiders just 96 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: being able to be mobile, you know, within a few 97 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: feet around my house in my house is enough for me. 98 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: Out of way anything to do with it. Shut it down. 99 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: Right then, I thought, no way in hell. I've lived 100 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: this long, forty years, live this long, and not known 101 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: that spiders travel like that. I don't believe that it's true. 102 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: I'm now a firm believer. The spiders are flying through 103 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: the air, but it's all by accident. I mean, those 104 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: bastards are so light. Hey, you guys know how that 105 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: wind has been especially here in Omaha lately. Holy cow, 106 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: the wind is faster than the speed limit. And that's 107 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: no joke. It's faster than forty five. These spiders they're 108 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: getting caught up in the wind and they're just going 109 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: you know, no different, no different. If you know, you 110 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: lose your balance and you just start stumbling. I guarantee 111 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: these little spiders they're so light, they get caught up 112 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: in a gust and then it's like whoa, and they're gone. 113 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: And I know they're not going whoa. You don't hear 114 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: the spiders talk. But I don't believe that this is 115 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: a thing that the spiders are just like, all right, 116 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: we're heading out for travel. I believe that the spiders 117 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: are getting caught in the wind and they're just gone. 118 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: There's really no other way, you know, unless you can 119 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: produce a spider that can have a conversation with me, 120 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: I'm not going to believe any other way. But then 121 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, spiders have family too, you know, 122 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: MoMA spiders, Oh got a good I don't know, one 123 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: to three hundred kids, and those little babies, you know, 124 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: they get they get caught up in the wind. They 125 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: don't know to you know, really tie themselves down, you know, 126 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: during the big windstorms, and they get flown off, and the 127 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: mom's like, we're where where two forty five go? You know, 128 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: and then you know, you make a web and they 129 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: have to make like a you know, a picture of 130 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: that spider and right missing into the web, you know, 131 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: on top, so people could take a look. They're gone. 132 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: That spider's gone. It's up in the atmosphere. Yeah, that 133 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: baby's gone. It's scary that spiders can do these things. 134 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: I frankly, I'm not a big spider guy. I know. 135 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: You know what, since we're here, I got nowhere else 136 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: to go. I'm gonna tell you why I don't like spiders. 137 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: This was when I was a kid. 138 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: I was. 139 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: How old was I? Probably twelve? Maybe a little older, 140 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: probably twelve, let's let's go with twelve. I was visiting 141 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: my cousin one summer so for like a week in Kansas, 142 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: and he lived on a farm, sheep farm, to be exact. 143 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: And I, as any San Diego Padre fan would be, 144 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: I'd wear my cap everywhere I go, you know, go Padres, 145 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: and you know, as one would as a kid, you 146 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: lose your hat sometimes and you don't think anything of it. 147 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:14,559 Speaker 2: You know. 148 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: I'm a city kid. I left my hat outside overnight 149 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: and I went to go grab it the next day, 150 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: and my aunt shout out, Aunt Debbie. She goes, you're 151 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: gonna want to kick the hat just in case something's 152 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: inside of it. I'm like, okay, I'm just a kid. 153 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: So I go out there and I kicked the hat over, 154 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: and sure enough, these this gigantic looking ground spider tarantula 155 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: looking ass thing with all its babies come just piling 156 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 1: out of my hat. That's the fastest I've ever ran 157 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: in my life. When I ran screaming and crying into 158 00:09:55,120 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: that house. Oh, I don't know if I did, but 159 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: it would not shock me if that's the first time 160 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: I used a curse word like I I one hundred 161 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: percent believe that that could have been it right there. 162 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: But my aunt did. She cleared, she cleared the hat 163 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: and then washed it. And uh, you know, I still 164 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: would eventually get over it to the point that I 165 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: could wear the hat again.

I'll take it out. 469 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I take that.
