So if you know what a roach is doing, is that unpredictable?

Are they creepy?

I don't have answers.

I'm just writing this like a Sex and the City newspaper column.

Kate said, are they actually widows, sweetie babies?

They seem to be lovely or have I just anthropomorphized the ones I've met?

But all the Madagascar ones have been very, very chill and calm.

But all of your research, it's taken you to many different places, I imagine, right?

I love the idea of an infestation of cockroach experts in Paris.

A colony of cockroach experts.

What's the hardest part about the job?

Is it traveling to new places?

Is that the best part?

Is it paperwork?

Is it misconception?

I imagine it's like ethanol usually and not just like putting down a bunch of borax.

Do you think that they get so drunk right before they meet their great-grandparents?

Yeah, like maybe they're just hella loaded and then they slip into the next realm.

What about the best thing about cockroaches?

Your favorite thing or your favorite thing about being a letodiologist?
