[Ambient Intro]

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:05,030
[Reporter]: Hey guys, so today we're

3
00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:06,560
talking about cockroaches again!

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,435
[sound of disgust], grouse!

5
00:00:09,010 --> 00:00:15,200
Wait, wait, why are most of us grossed out by these little guys when we should be thanking

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:16,500
these crazy critters?

7
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:21,920
At least people in China are, in fact did you know right now there are over 100 buildings

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,120
in China that are raising roaches?

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,360
Why you ask?

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,480
Because people are making money from selling them of course!

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,520
A business that makes nothing but money is a cockroach business.

12
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,620
I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of cockroaches.

13
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:41,600
There are people who have money and people who raise cockroaches.

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,240
I know what you're thinking, who would want to buy a thousand cockroaches?

15
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,240
I do!

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,000
It turns out that people aren't just buying them as pets to have crawl around their house

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,080
or turn into cyber roaches, they're buying them to make medical powder!

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,140
This is how it works.

19
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:58,360
Farmers boil them.

20
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,360
Dry them.

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,700
Then smash them into a powdered product.

22
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:04,580
Quite sad really, poor little guys.

23
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:06,440
But you can't blame them.

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:11,200
Surprisingly, researchers are looking into whether chemicals in cockroach powder can

25
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,840
help cure hair loss, cancer, and even HIV!

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Cockroaches are amazing!

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:17,840
Period.

28
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,000
So it's no wonder humans want some of that mojo!

29
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Did you know cockroaches can hold their breath for up to 30 minutes?

30
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,400
Run up to 3 miles per hour?

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:27,400
Can live over a week with no problems?

32
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,000
And they can even breathe!

33
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,760
Cockroaches are not only weak without their head, they like beer, and originated more

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,680
than 250 million years ago!

35
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,920
If you need a reference, hit up my boy Wang Fu Ming, he currently has a farm with over

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,000
10 million roaches!

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Wow!

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Blows my mind it does!

39
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,420
