It kind of makes it worse, right?

Yeah.

My boss was so funny, too.

Alan Cooper, the guy I went to work with, he was all, oh, I'm going to just wear this natural mosquito repellent and you don't need any of the stuff that actually has poisons in it.

Look at me at my natural.

And we're out there and the wind dries down, the mosquitoes come and I'm with my DEET.

I'm like, you know, your natural repellent.

He's going, did you bring the DEET?

Right.

Well, you can see that in the increased rates of obesity, increased rates of diabetes.

We're not.

Yeah, it's impressive.

When we were up there in Timer, we'd flown for a couple days in this really awful Russian helicopter that took off the third time it tried to because, you know, infrastructure doesn't work in Siberia.

It's a repeated theme from... You got a Siberian helicopter to play with.

It was an MI-8.

And it was in a place called Khatanga, which is where we were based while we were trying to get out into.

And they kept loading all of our gear into this.

And it's mostly these massive gas tanks.

And you load all the gear into the gas tanks.

And then all of the people, we had a dog, Pasha, who was with us, who did not want to get in that helicopter.
