through Friday. On the Athletic Podcast Network. And it's another edition of Hoops Adjacent on the Athletic NBA show, David Aldrich here. It's hot as hell in D.C.C.C. Humid. Going to rain later. Cicadas are driving me nuts. Y'all don't have cicadas out west. Hold on. You're telling me even y'all sunny days are trashed.

Dude, it's awful. In the summertime, it's just, they're great in the fall, but in the summertime, it's awful. It's humid and nasty and shit. Plus, we got cicadas just hovering over us like a, like a UFO, just making noise and just literally dropping out of the sky on your head. That's what they do they just come what's a cicada it's got it's like a big

insect and every 17

you dropping out of the sky on your head. That's what they do. They just come. What's a cicada?

It's like a big insect.

And every 17 years, they literally come out of the ground every 17 years.

And for like two months, they just start procreating like crazy.

And that's all they do for eight weeks is going to trees and procreate

with each other and die.

Hold on.

Is that like the games we watch where like they're flying all over the baseball field?

Yeah, yeah.

Jabber Chamberlain had all of his baseball.

That's a midge.

That's a midge.

Cicadas are loud is what I remember. Cicadas are beautiful. Beautiful insect. I was in. I want to crush them every one of them that I see. Yeah, I was in Japan and I'd never heard anything like it in my life where you can't even, you can't hear people. It's so loud. It's deafening. It's like a, it's like a UFO hover.. It's just whirring, hovering over you for all day. You can hear it when you're inside. You can hear it. That's how loud they are. It's crazy. I feel like Will Smith and Men in Black when he starts killing all the cockroaches at the end. Is that your auntie? That's what I feel like.
