In this special feed drop episode from our friend Brad at Doomsday: History’s Most Dangerous Podcast, What hops downstairs, alone or in pairs, enough to block out the sun? Nothing good, I promise. I hope you brought your appetite for destruction – because this episode is going to bug you. On this episode: you’ll learn the horror of insect biomass, we’ll learn that some problems can only be solved with a knife and a fork, and you’ll need them because we are facing our very first extinction level event.

And if you had been listening to this on Patreon, we also would have discussed whether Aesop was a thieving jerk, we found out Maury Povich never loved you, we met the loneliest/most extreme insects in the world, we found out if having grasshopper superpowers would kill you, we looked at the weirdest historical plague ever, we discussed the most disturbing regional delicacies in the world, and we shared a recipe for cricket protein energy balls.

I never preach about environmental issues on the show, but you are going to hear about a kind of insect apocalypse that plays the weather the way my dad used to play the ponies. How big an issue will we be talking about? To this day, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, our story remains the largest concentration of living creatures, ever.

Celebrity cameos include the God of the Old Testament; biblical prophet Moses; the Angel of Death, Pharoah Ramesses II of Egypt; Aesop the Greek fable man; Frau Troffea, queen of the Strasbourg plague dance, and human guinea pig John Stapp.
