I'm not... Listen, I'm very proud of my bot fly, but I don't think you need to put me in the same sentence as RFK.

I don't think you need to.

Fair enough.

What happened?

Remind me.

Well, you say remind me, but I clearly have never told you the story.

Maybe I did.

You were just pretending to be really... What would you be pretending?

Just trying to get the story out of me?

Anyway, I went to Belize to catch bats.

I got a mosquito bite on my head.

And when I got back from Belize to Canada...

It was growing.

And then I was like, oh, I think I have a bot fly.

And then sure enough, my then girlfriend could see the tube coming out of it because the maggot has like a little breathing hole.

So the way it works is the maggot... Okay, no, it's an adult fly.

Unlike the sheep where it just goes up there and lays an egg, the human one in Belize and other parts of Central and South America will catch a mosquito in midair and lay eggs on the mosquito and then let the mosquito go.

And so then the mosquito bites you and it drops off the eggs and then the eggs turn into maggots and the maggots go into your head.

And this one maggot.

Do they eat your brains or is it fairly?
