I am your host, Jan Ohhoa Joining me, as always, C, Captain another ship, Jeff, G Hi Jan, thanks for having me We're also having him and him and I are going to have a wonderful weekend together going to God knows where D on Sy cur. Looking forward to the trip because it will get me away from the cavalcade of millipedes I'm surrounded by right now. So if you hear the occasional vacuum, that is this is filled with millipedes right. How Just give me in a millipede count real quick. In the last fifteen minutes, I have vacuumed up thirty to forty live millipedes crawling around here. O own millipede, That's right. He's got a bunch of legs and he's slithering across the floor. Jeff Bagalar Oh, I wish I had so many more legs than I currently have. I'd be so sick. How many have now? On a good day three, Mikey. Wow Your dad will explain that to you later, Mike. Don't worry. that's a daddy joke, Mike. don't worry that You'll learn about it when you're older. And last but certainly not least on the podcast, we have the B boy of Games Media. Mike Menoti. Hey, I listened to the voiceemt dump truck. I thought it was just the boy of Games Media. I don't know how to wp that up Do I just go the boy of Games media? No. I get it. It doesn't feel quite the same man I don't know what it is. likeike you know, I had a tripps swkend and it was great and you know, I got back late. I'm not sick or anything, but I could just tell Brain like seventy percent It is it's just not all there right now. How much water did you drink Oh, Mbe not enough. I mean, I was I don't know it was so hot that I was definitely just drinking water when I could, right? There was a humidity thing in New Orleans, but definitely drinking a lot of alcohol as well. So yeah, maybe just. Yeah in New Orleans. Is that new Yeah, yeah. I know it was I think it was banned for a very long time, but they're just experimenting now. You just got it. Yeah Yeah. You got to go to very specific retailers and you have to drink it indoors at all times there. It's my rule It's not all we talked about before you got on that plane bud. We had a conversation. didid we not Yeah I'ad. I'm sorry. he was talked about How alcohol is what? the opposite of water Right? alcohol dehydrates you know fire is and dehydration is bad U Yeah, I remember but there was peer pressure. There was a girl and she told me it'd be cool if I There's always a girl. It's girl pressure. You disappointed your father. It's always about the girl and it's always not about the girl. I get it. okay? It's fine You had a good weekend, I'm glad Yes. Why do you have millipedes Yeah, why could get fifty millipedes and just set them forree you. There have been over a hundred easily in the last. Honestly, I looked at you and now I'm like, you are being punished like the pharaohs of old. This is a plague upon your house. I've researched a lot about millipedes in the last day or so and it sounds like this is actually normal considering the circumstances So On Sunday, we had a major thunderstorm. Yeah. We had a major thunderstorm on Sunday morning, which cancellled my half marathon and then I ran it anyway during a thunderstorm. that's another thing Come back. thunderstorm ends and then heat wave starts. So now it's over ninety degrees. And so my understanding is and keep in mind the back of my house is this retaining wall with a bunch of wild vegetation and stuff there. There is moisture that attracts a bunch of Millipedes and stuff, which we get occasion Millipedes anyway during the summer. they get into through the baseboards where they find their way in, whatever they die real quick So then when it dries out with the heat, they need to go someplace. and so they come into where it's cooler. and so this is like the basement. there's carpet out there, which is where way more of them are. So it is just like, I heard this is normal. They will die out. It's not an infestation. It is all of them suuddenly in the heap trying to come in, but I did just buy some outdoor spray to spray along the perimeter. I bought a dehumidifier, which I hear helps a lot. But right now, if you see me looking around or you hear the occasional vacuum in the background It is Milliped time right now. You humidifier Yeah. you told me to buy humidifier within a day of me just finishing a fifty minute video about dehumidifiers. So I was pre I' very excited o. Yeah. Yeah. you told me to spend I got a two hundred dollarars one. I did not want to get one with a hose because I just don't have a place Itound I get it You sound ridiculous, Baclar. What's that hose gonna to do I do realize that I am like scared of a lot of things. L I don't understand things like propane. I'm afraid of it. actually there's a video going tomorrow on MinMax. I'm camping with Hanson and Leo and they gave me some shit. I can't remember if it was on video of like, I was just afraid of everything about the fire and like things' gonna to blow from the sky.erally ran thirteen point six miles because I went too far because my watch stopped working because of the rain with like metal. like I took the metal Before I li they cancelled the half Marathon, and I asked the dude like, can I have this metal and run the course anyway? And he said, you can get struck by lightning on your own time. And so I have a running belt. I tucked the metal, metal metal in my running belt and ran during a very intense Thunderstorm for almost two and a half hours. And the whole time I'm going through this nature reserve and I'm trying to remember lightning rules because it's like there're trees that we like, I camer if I needed to be more scared when I was on top of a hill and there were no trees around. 'cause I know lightning goes towards the quickest route to the ground. And so I was like, ooh, I'm probably the tallest thing right now if lightning wanted to hit me. But then I felt safer when I was under like a wooded path because then it's like, all right, you're not supposed to sit under a tree or against a tree during a lightning storm, right But the odds would be better. Of a lightning hitting a tree than me if it's a wooded path, right Okay, so yeah, there's so lightning likes sharp like points. So that's why it hits the tops of trees. This is round Yes. So that actually you weren't in much more danger because of your metal actually. If you were holding a golf club, no, sharp pointing in and you stick it up in the sky, that's why golfers occasionally get hit by lightning. So yeah, the reason you don't go by trees is because the tree gets struck and then you're going be right next to the tree and that's bad. And then also it could fall on you. sure. Yeahes. See, that sounds like I was on a path and the closest trees were, you know, ten, fifteen feet away at least. So that's better than just me being the tallest thing during a lightning storm, right? Why didn't you stop nning? I train that day. My entire schedule was to run on that day, a half marathon And I wasn't going to say no to it. And so I was the only one it Um 'a I trained it. it's part of it was on. It's dangerous. Dan, the things that scare you just it's just a flip of the coin I. Don't you have a treadmill Thred I do, I do, but like Jam, that's not the same. or trered. Also, I like the idea of the challenge. Honestly, the worst fucking part, I was completely soaked, like I just came out of a swing pool from step one, basically The worst part was I put sunscreen all on my bald head thinking I'm gonna to be outside for a long time and all of it just ran into my eyes immediately. It two and a half hours I'm just. Like it just sucks. It's just sunscreen my eyes. My eyes are red. Yeah, My feet are just sloshed like my socks and everything. the entire I'm not saying I wish you were struck by lightning but like No, and you know what's gonna suck, Mikey, my son? It's that When he does die in the most Darwinian way possible. No, he's gonna die in the most like the opposite. It's in his bedest's going be like' all be de my go. Yeah.veryone was gonna be like, o my go I mean we're going get b We're going to feel bad. No there was a period where the lightning was going crazy and I was in the middle of it. Like I had no easy way to and I was like, if if this is how it ends, that's a pretty funny way. Like I don't want to true but like that's funny, right Yeah. It would have been very funny. but you' been like, oh, I got sick I'm not like, oh, I progrudge you like wanting to run outside, Dan, but yeah, the things that scare you. It's understand I understand that's silly. Right. You understand, it's inexcusable, right But here's here's my and I was honestly thinking about this the whole time was running because you don't how much else're doing while you're running is like, I was not I was like, whyy am I not afraid of the lightning killing me? but I'm afraid of like Hanson heating up this hot dog too long and it might explode. And I was like, hg might explode? Well, he was holding this hot dog over the flame for a long time and it was you were joking. It was getting very bulbust. And I was like, oh my Godd, it's going to blow up. And I was worrying about it And so I think the thought is If lightning strikes me and I die, it's like, what, I don't even I barely even knew that happened. That's just over, you know, versus if that hot dog explodes and like hot grease goes into my eyes and stuff, I got to deal with that. That's pain I you had sunscreen go into your eyes and that was pain That was worse than the lightning death possibility. Yeah. No, I think you just have like a cartoonish understanding of the universe. and I think you base a lot of your understanding on like entertainment. And I feel like that changes how you absorb the natural world. You live a carny world you appreciate it forces you to have like an asymmetrical understanding of like
