This is because of fate and...

But it's also because of a guy on set known as Safety Steve.

And last minute, my little vials of frozen cockroach milk were given like this tragic kibosh after months and months of working with a lab to milk cockroaches.

I am getting ahead of myself because...

What do you mean cockroaches make milk?

I'm sure you are wondering that.

We're going to dive into a vat of it in a minute.

But first, thank you so much to patrons of the show who support for as little as a dollar a month.

Thank you to everyone out there in Ologies Merch from ologiesmerch.com.

And thank you to everyone who leaves reviews for the show, which I earnestly read and they help us so much.

And to prove it, I read one recent one, like this one from Paragrindis, who left a review saying, everything in the whole wide world is riveting.

Soul saving for our times.

Thank you, Para Grindis.

I don't know how to say your name, but I like your review.

Also, hey, Fiona.

So let's get into this episode.

So in 2017, I saw an article about cockroach milk in the news.

It was all over the news.

One NPR piece proclaimed it the most nutritious substance on earth, three times that of buffalo milk.

And I have thought about this substance forever.
