Host Matthew Donald and guest co-hosts Christina Eilert and Jake Chapman discuss Arthropleura, the car-sized millipede that's all kinds of nope. From the Late Carboniferous, this 13-foot arthropod terrorized the coal swamps of old and the nightmares of new. Except it was an herbivore, so it didn't really terrorize the swamps, but definitely still the nightmares.
