[Ambient Intro]

0:00:03.500,0:00:05.030
[Reporter]: Hey guys, so today we're

0:00:05.030,0:00:06.560
talking about cockroaches again!

0:00:06.680,0:00:08.435
[sound of disgust], grouse!

0:00:09.010,0:00:15.200
Wait, wait, why are most of us grossed out by these little guys when we should be thanking

0:00:15.200,0:00:16.500
these crazy critters?

0:00:16.500,0:00:21.920
At least people in China are, in fact did you know right now there are over 100 buildings

0:00:21.920,0:00:24.120
in China that are raising roaches?

0:00:24.120,0:00:25.360
Why you ask?

0:00:25.360,0:00:28.480
Because people are making money from selling them of course!

0:00:28.480,0:00:32.520
A business that makes nothing but money is a cockroach business.

0:00:32.520,0:00:36.620
I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of cockroaches.

0:00:36.620,0:00:41.600
There are people who have money and people who raise cockroaches.

0:00:41.600,0:00:45.240
I know what you're thinking, who would want to buy a thousand cockroaches?

0:00:45.240,0:00:46.240
I do!

0:00:46.240,0:00:50.000
It turns out that people aren't just buying them as pets to have crawl around their house

0:00:50.000,0:00:55.080
or turn into cyber roaches, they're buying them to make medical powder!

0:00:55.080,0:00:57.140
This is how it works.

0:00:57.140,0:00:58.360
Farmers boil them.

0:00:58.360,0:00:59.360
Dry them.

0:00:59.360,0:01:01.700
Then smash them into a powdered product.

0:01:01.700,0:01:04.580
Quite sad really, poor little guys.

0:01:04.580,0:01:06.440
But you can't blame them.

0:01:06.440,0:01:11.200
Surprisingly, researchers are looking into whether chemicals in cockroach powder can

0:01:11.200,0:01:15.840
help cure hair loss, cancer, and even HIV!

0:01:15.840,0:01:16.840
Cockroaches are amazing!

0:01:16.840,0:01:17.840
Period.

0:01:17.840,0:01:21.000
So it's no wonder humans want some of that mojo!

0:01:21.000,0:01:24.920
Did you know cockroaches can hold their breath for up to 30 minutes?

0:01:24.920,0:01:26.400
Run up to 3 miles per hour?

0:01:26.400,0:01:27.400
Can live over a week with no problems?

0:01:27.400,0:01:28.000
And they can even breathe!

0:01:28.000,0:01:32.760
Cockroaches are not only weak without their head, they like beer, and originated more

0:01:32.760,0:01:35.680
than 250 million years ago!

0:01:35.680,0:01:39.920
If you need a reference, hit up my boy Wang Fu Ming, he currently has a farm with over

0:01:39.920,0:01:42.000
10 million roaches!

0:01:42.000,0:01:43.000
Wow!

0:01:43.000,0:01:46.000
Blows my mind it does!

0:01:46.000,0:01:49.420
