We hate that you have to hear it from us, but there are roaches simply EVERYwhere in this episode! In the basement, in your buddy’s makeshift drug lab, in the bathroom, in the motel, even in the poop warehouse. Egads! At least there’s a cute little robot to help take the edge off… and also our new gal pal Dr. Bambi. But let’s face it, this is no place for an entomologist! Today we’re talking about Season 3, Episode 12: War of the Coprophages.
