All of you people listening, you people, what do you mean you people? All of you folks, all of you friends, all of you great listeners of this podcast are wanting an update on the bunny rabbit from yesterday, who was really the bunny rabbit from

Wednesday night. The story was yesterday, Thursday. I have an update for you today, Friday. So here's what went down. You know that I picked up the bunny. I put on my, you know, heat resistant knit gloves and picked up the bunny and he was still alive. But I could see his stomach so I felt like he didn't have much longer for the world. I could have put him out of his misery. I didn't put him out of his misery because I'm just not equipped to do that. I couldn't be the guy that would take the

dog out back and shoot him. I couldn't do an old yeller or a yearling or whatever. I couldn't do that kind of thing. So I decided to take him to a different part of the yard where I knew my dog would need him and let him live out his last moments. Hopefully get scooped up by, you know, a coyote or something. Or not a coyote. That would suck if there was a coyote in the yard. But I mean, that would be good for the bunny, I guess. But like, you know, like a fox or something like that or a raccoon. I don't know what eats dead baby bunnies. But anywho, so yesterday I went out to check and the bunny is dead.

He's officially dead. He had like flies and all sorts of like insects all over him. So I went out and I put a shopping bag on my hand like you would do when you're picking up your dog's poop and I picked up my friend and then closed up the bag and threw him in the garbage. So, our bunny friend has gone to the other side. I don't assume that he laid there very long and suffered. You know what was weird is he was almost kind of peaceful when I was looking at him. It's almost like in a way like I brought him

comfort. So, Jilly was talking to her friend who used to be a veterinarian and they had a situation where their dog ate a bunny too and it was a similar kind of thing like that and they were told to put the bunny in a shoe box and make him comfortable or whatever. She's of the belief that I did the right thing and that the bunny was probably thankful that I was able to put him in a place where he could be a little bit more comfortable and not whatever. I don't know if that's true or not. I'll roll with that because I'd like to think that I did a nice thing for this bunny. Again, I could have... Look, you wouldn't have been able to do it either. I don't care who you are listening to this podcast today. You could not. You would not have been able to look at this little baby bunny and go, you know what? I'm going to go smash his skull with a rock.

You couldn't have done it because I choose to believe that the people that listen to this podcast are just too good a folks. It doesn't make you a bad person. It might be the right thing to do. Okay, so it doesn't make you a bad person if you were to crush the bunny's skull and put him out of his misery. I just choose to believe the people listening to this are like, you know what? Let me try to find some way to maybe make the bunny comfortable.

And maybe I was wrong. Maybe I'm the dick here. It's kind of like when you watch a movie and they're supposed to be the good guy and the bad guy. But then if you really dig deep, you're like, well, the good guy is kind of the bad guy. People say that a lot about Karate Kid. Really, Johnny is the villain in Karate Kid and the other guys are not. Sorry, Daniel is the villain and like Johnny is not, you know what I'm saying? So sometimes you get that, but it doesn't matter. Okay. He is dead now he's gone to the other side. I

feel like I did my due diligence. Is that the right term? I feel like I did what I needed to do to try to make him comfortable and not treat him unfairly and maybe he thought I was his dad or like an angel.

Like now I'm wondering like what things must have looked like to that bunny like as he's

being picked up like did he think I was God? Did he think like in his little bunny mind like, yep, this is the end of the road right here. This is like me, I'm going to the pearly gates and this is my God. A giant, fat, sweaty, bearded man in this humid day has picked me up into his warm, comfortable cotton palm and he has taken me to my final resting place. Maybe that's what he thought. Like I think of these things a lot. Like when I think of very small things in relation to big things. Like when I think of like what it must be like to be like an insect in a house. Like you walk into a house, and

there's somebody that's six foot two, you're like an inch off the like you're maybe an inch high if that and there is someone who is six feet tall standing over you and then you just like see a hand come down and like what is that like like I can't find any sort of point of reference for that like would that be like us standing next to like the tallest building in the world maybe chat GPT can help maybe there's like a comparison here if I were to okay in the world? Maybe chat GPT can help. Maybe there's like a comparison here. If I were to look, okay, we're okay, we're chat GPT and again

here today. Let's see here. Can I do this with a microphone? Let's see. Chat GPT. What is a comparison for the size of a cockroach to a person? how does that relate to a person versus a building? That was a horribly worded question. There's no way they're going to give me a good answer on that. Let's see if we get a good answer on that. There's no way they're going to be able to do this, but here's how we can break down inside. Oh, here we go. The average American cockroach is one and a half inches long. The average adult human is 5.5 to 6 feet tall.

A cockroach is roughly 1.44 the height of a person, like a toenail clipping compared to your whole body. The average 10-story building is about 100 feet. So a six-foot person is 1.16.6 the height of the building. So a cockroach is to person equals 1 to 44, a person to a building. So okay, so a cockroach to a person like is 1 44th or 1 to 44. A person to a 10 story building is 1 to 17. So now I need to know like what's in a 10-story building?

Hold on. Chat GPT, show me a 10-story building. Okay, so it would be, okay, if a cockroach were the size of a 6-foot person, the equivalent giant to them, scaled the same way, would be a 264 feet tall, like a 20 to 25-story skyscraper. How about that? So like the way we would... That's wild. So like imagine like you're just walking around and like there's someone standing over you. But the difference of course being that a building isn't going to grab you unless it's like a transformer or some such shit.

It's not going to come down and grab you. So imagine not only are you a cockroach and you're used to things being much larger than you out in the world and everything else, but you're in someone's house. You think, holy shit, I've gotten in. I'm kicking ass. I've made my way into someone's house and now life is good and you're walking around and there's someone who would be the equivalent. Now what's a 20, let me see, okay. Show me a 25, show me, hold on, let me try this again. Show me an example of a 25 story building in America.

Let's see. Let's see what a 25 story building in America. Let's see. All right. Let's see what a 25 story building in America looks like. Let's find one that's 25 stories, which I don't think 25 stories is a huge building. It's not like the World Trade Center or something like that. Let's see. The Wainwright building in St. Louis is 10 stories. A 25 story building building in the U.S., a good example is the 25-park place, formerly SunTrust Company Georgia Building in Atlanta. Okay, so a 25-story building. So us standing outside of the SunTrust Trust Company skyscraper building in Atlanta is what it would be like for a cockroach to stand next to us. But the difference is the Sun Trust building wouldn't be able to reach down and pick us up and smash us.

And then I often think how quickly life ends for these things. You're a mosquito. You fly into someone's house. There's a big bright light and you fly in and you get in, you're on the wall. And you're just kind of hanging out on the wall. I don't know what's going through your mind. And then boom, guy grabs a fly swatter you get in you're on the wall and like you're just kind of hanging out in the wall. I don't know what's going through your mind and then boom guy grabs like a fly swatter. Bam bangs you against the wall. Bam dead. And it ends just like that. Like it's amazing how quickly that **** could end. Like I don't know why like I just think of these things. These thoughts come to my mind. They creep

into my mind all the time. I don't know why I think of them. Like I just have, I don't think these are weird thoughts. I'm sure other people think them. These aren't like totally fucked up thoughts, but I think of that often. And then sometimes when I kill an insect, I'm like, well, this poor bastard didn't really do anything to me. You know, like, like he's in my house. So like I have to come. It's like, that's kind of like, you know, in Texas, someone breaks into your house, you plug them, right? And you go, did I have to kill him. That's kind of like in Texas. Someone breaks into your house, you plug them, right? You go, did that person really need to die? They were just about to commit some sort of petty crime. Hopefully, they weren't going to hurt you. But you look at it and you go, well, did they have to get their heads blown

off? And you're like, well, they shouldn't have been in your fucking house. And I'm like, I agree with that. It's the same concept as with like a mosquito. Like that mosquito could be carrying like malaria or some such shit could bite me and give me malaria. So I need to get him the fuck out. But like, there's also a part of me that's like, is there another way I could have done this? Is there another approach that I could have taken to get him out of here? Like you're not going to shoe a mosquito out. I mean, like, hey, scoot skedaddle, go go, you know, I don't, I don't think so. I don't know. I don't know. Like, but there are times that I will feel bad for some of these bugs. And why do we like there are certain bugs that we don't want to kill like a lady bug. There's been a lady bug that's been on the wall around the door in my house for like a month. And I won't kill this thing.'s like a perception of ladybugs that ladybugs are like nice bugs. When you see

them portrayed on television or in literature, ladybugs are kind of portrayed as like an all-knowing lady creature that brings you good luck. So like you don't want to kill and it's pretty like I think because we know like no one associates cockroach with good. No one associates mosquito with good everything you see of mosquito is like the local exterminator mosquito guy commercial where mosquitoes are annoying and blah blah blah and like we're gonna blast them out right or like cockroaches like there's no redeeming quality about a cockroach at least that we know

of like they're gross and disgusting right so we're used to seeing them portrayed as evil things so we don't feel bad about killing them. But a ladybug is portrayed as harmless and generally speaking bringing you good luck and they're pretty. So you're kind of like, I'll leave you alone. I don't know. I don't know how I got there.

But it is fascinating to think like what the... I'm looking at my refrigerator right now the refrigerator is probably six feet tall but it's about a six foot high refrigerator an ant walks in like what the now I want to know okay I need okay one more of these the chat gpt has got me going wild today The chat GPT has got me going wild today. What is the person comparison to an ant compared to a refrigerator? Let's see if they can tell me this. This has to be more than a cockroach because an ant is nothing. That's got to be ridiculous.

Let's see. Let's get the deeds on this. Okay, a person versus an ant. The average ant is 0.2 inches. The average human is 6 feet tall. So let's see, now a person is to an ant as a refrigerator is to, to an ant a person is like a 2,000 foot skyscraper. Like holy shit.

To put it in comparison, like the gateway arch is like 6 2,000 foot skyscraper. Like, holy shit. To put it in comparison, like the Gateway Arch is like 670 feet high. So like to an ant, the like to that, then the refrigerator is like four Gateway Arches, I think. Let me see here. Show me an example of a 2,000 foot skyscraper in America? Let's see. What would be an example of a 2,000 foot skyscraper in America? So an ant to that six foot tall refrigerator would be like you or me to one World Trade Center which is 1,776 feet. So when we look at and by the way, there's some room to spare. So God imagine being an ant and everything is like that to you though. There is nothing that is like your height, right? There's nothing. So when you're an ant,

there's nothing that you're like, oh boy, this is kind of comparable to me except for like other ants. That's it. You're an ant, you get to someone's house. You see a fucking refrigerator and it's like us looking at the World Trade Center. But for us like we can look at another person who's our same height. We can look at people shorter than us. We can look at things that are smaller than us. If you are an ant, that doesn't exist. Everything is going to be bigger than you. And like, I'm, I'm, I don't know. I don't know

how I got here. But these are the kind of things that fucking blow my mind. Why they blow my mind? I don't know. Anyway, more to come.
