Speaker 1 (00:21):
Hey, welcome to hey Real Quick.
Well, I try not to read thenews.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We don't need to say it, but there is one thing that
has come out in the last.
I guess it was the last week.
It's mid-April right now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
About scientists.
I'm hoping it's scientistsbringing back the dire wolf.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, like in Game of Thrones, right the really big
one, yeah, like the super size.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So you know I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's what we need right now is dire wolves.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I guess Let them loose.
I don't know, but Can't hurt?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, it can.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, well, you know, I was in college when Jurassic
Park came out, the first one.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, I feel like we know where this is going.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, we already saw it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's why we have zoos.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
If you want to see an animal go.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Right Go to the zoo and we don't need to bring back
any more.
There's already lions in there.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
There's already you know Bengal tigers, yeah, well,
yeah, the company that did this,I don't know, was Colossal
Biosciences, which sounds likemaybe the evil corporation that
did it in Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't know.
I know Colossal.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, it does Sorry Sounds like a colossal mistake
to mess with Mother Nature.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, and I don't know.
There's a lot going on.
Did this project need to be,you know, april 2025?
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And there's no telling how long they've been
working on it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh my goodness, Can you imagine yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It says there.
Well, the first thing from thearticle is the dire wolves were
born by colossal biosciences.
Are super cute and growing intostately animals?
I don't think super cute no Imean they are when you look at
the picture but isn't everything.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Isn't a puppy cute?
Isn't everything?
A baby lion is cute, but thenit's gonna eat your head off
when it's full grown.
Yeah, that's what they said.
And that's what they said inJurassic Park, like oh, when the
little things were hatching,you know, and all them people on
the island.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
No, uh-uh, laura Dern and all the people this is
pre-Chris Pratt, uh-uh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, but yeah, it says.
The company seeking to bringback the woolly mammoth revealed
it had produced three live direwolf wolves puppies I didn't
sound right.
Remus, romulus and Khaleesi Isone of them named after Game of
Thrones, I guess.
So Whatever, we all know howthat turned out if you watched
(03:20):
it.
I didn't watch it, but yeah,didn't turn out good
Resurrecting a species that diedout as many as 13,000 years ago
, according to theircalculations.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know where that pops up.
It was a really long time ago.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So the main goal is the woolly mammoth.
Are we going for Ice Age herewith Ray Romano?
That's what we're headed for.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I feel like it's not a good time to bring back an
animal that thrived in the IceAge.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, just spitballing.
Yeah, I'm just saying they'reprobably going to be terribly
hot and uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That woolly mammoth is going to have a crew cut.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
How did you lose all that weight?
Well, I just started sweatingit.
How did you lose all thatweight?
Well, I just started sweating.
It was like a sweat box inthere.
Oh my gosh, you look fantasticWooly.
Yeah, I know, I sweated all off.
You know sweating to the oldies.
Yeah, and so they have thesepictures If you go online.
Well, this is USA Today, butthey have these cute little
(04:22):
pictures.
They're cute.
Oh, they're super cute yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Until they grow into stately adults and take over the
world.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Right, yeah, how many are there?
Three?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Three.
It said they spent more than ayear to decode the dire wolf's
evolutionary history.
Well, it used to be history.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now it's just current events Said.
We generated high qualityancient genomes from dire wolves
that lived 13,000 and 72,000years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Which one is it?
Yeah, high quality.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, what does that mean?
No store brand 72,000 years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Okay, if you say so.
Yeah, but it says that direwolves and gray wolves are much
more closely related thanpreviously thought.
Well, they both have the wordwolf in it.
So I would assume they're kindof related.
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
I don't know how I feel aboutit.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm a little bit like okay, I'll give him this, ok,
spectacular, you did that.
You made that.
It wasn't there for a long,long time.
It had gone extinct and nowit's back in existence.
I will give you the.
That's kind of amazing.
And also quit messing, quitmessing with it.
(05:45):
Don't mess with that.
Do you know how much we'vealready messed up, already,
trying to do stuff with juststuff that already exists, uh-uh
.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, well, it's like , and it says here, their
findings also suggest the direwolf goes back about 4.5 million
years ago.
Well, first of all, you said13,000.
You said 72,000.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And then four and a half million.
Y'all don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No, I don't know that .
They did do the research.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
This sounds like a fifth grader giving a report and
he didn't go back and doublecheck it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Let's just clone eggs or like chicken eggs to eat, or
iPhones so I don't have to buyanother one.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, but so all right.
So a gray wolf, like nowadays.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
A gray wolf all right .
Labrador retriever Right, 21 to26 inches, 55 to 80 pounds.
Okay and height 21, 26,.
Okay, A gray wolf is 26 to 33inches, about 50 to 150 pounds,
and a dire wolf is 31 inches to42 inches tall, 75 to 150 pounds
(06:53):
.
So it's almost.
I mean, it's three and a halffeet tall, 150 pounds, and it's
a wolf.
It's a wolf and we don't.
I don't understand spendingthis much money and time.
And energy On something wedon't need.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And or want.
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, mm-mm, it is the houseboat of extinct animals.
Nobody needs it, nobody.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, it says they had a vision of restoring the
woolly mammoth.
That would not only prove thata massive extinct animal can be
brought back, but that themammoth, if reinserted into the
Arctic region, would improve theecosystem and help combat
global warming.
Not sure if the woolly mammothis going to recycle or I don't
(07:45):
know.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I think it's going to die of being dehydrated.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, where are they going to put?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
it, everything's melting anyway.
Do they have a big like freezer?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is there a zoo in the ?
Yeah, where are we?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, that's a good question.
Is he doing an ice plunge everyhour?
What's happening?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, I don happening , I don't know.
Yeah, I don't get the wholeyeah, so there's.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Where are these wolves?
Where are they right now?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
oh, does it say that is a good question.
Oh, it says also, what aboutthe unintended consequences?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
yeah, what about?
Oh, that's a section, isn'tthat nice?
Somebody did do a little bit ofsomebody put.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We're messing with nature.
I think you're doing more thanmessing with it.
You've made wolves.
Yeah, um, we're messing withnature.
I think you're doing more thanmessing with it.
You've made wolves yeah.
We're genetically engineeringthese wolves, we know.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, you just told us.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, if we start tinkering with genes, there may
be unexpected problems.
Did that ever occur?
No, I don't know.
Maybe in like the first phaseof research.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, like, what are the moral implications?
Like, should we even be doingthis?
Um, yeah, so was it in the U S.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm going to have to.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm going to feel.
I feel like it says yeah, Ithink it's in the U S, yeah, Um,
I feel like it's this.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I think it's in the US.
Yeah, A lot of scientists havedisagreed, which I'm.
Yeah, I get it.
Colossal used a gray wolfgenome.
Wait a minute.
Okay, they used a gray wolfgenome, which is 99.5% identical
(09:29):
to the dire wolf genomes.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That don't even make no sense.
So 0.5% is the different part.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I guess, and then is that what they made up?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And edited it to make it even more similar to the
extinct dire wolf, alteringtheir size.
Y'all just yeah, uh-uh, y'alljust willy-nilly.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You're just like going on a website to create a
car.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And like can I do a custom color?
You know, let's change it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
That's what it is.
It's like Jurassic Park, mm-hmm.
Let's take a little bit ofT-Rex A little bit.
Mix it up with a littleVelociraptor, the Endoraptor, or
whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, oh gosh, uh-uh.
No, thank you, I don't knowwhat I think.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't like it, but.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I feel like it's a lot of wasted.
Colossal Chief Sciences OfficerBeth Shapiro.
Wow, wait a minute.
They're here with the image ofthe dodo bird, an extinct bird
that Colossal has announced ithopes to bring back with its
(10:48):
biotech and genetic technology.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
They are the company from Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
These people need to be stopped immediately.
You're going to bring back thedodo bird, which maybe it's just
because I watched Ice Age ordifferent movies or something.
Isn't it like the dumbest birdin?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
the world.
It's called dodo.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It's extinct.
It's called dodo and it's uglyas sin.
It's not a pretty bird, youknow.
It looks like a fluffy flamingoput on a mask to go in and rob
a bank.
That's what it looks likelooking at this picture.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh, my gosh man I the dodo bird.
Oh y'all, both dodos, y'allneed to stop making animals I
just think oh, you know, I canjust hear the music now from the
movie, you know and likelooking at the picture of these
two scientists in front of theimage of the dodo bird and
(11:48):
suddenly like a t-Rex is runningtoward them, or velociraptors,
and I'll say this the dodo birdin the picture that are standing
in front of it doesn't look toohappy that they're cloning.
No, it's going to peck theireyes out.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We're going to dodo this again.
Yeah, things go extinct for areason.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, come on, quit it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Whether it be plastic straws in the ocean, whatever,
I don't know, but yeah, yeahwhen something's gone, it's gone
.
It's gone.
Yeah, you're not bringing backstuff.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
No, that's weird.
That's weird.
It's already weird enough.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It.
It's weird.
It's already weird enough.
It's weird.
It's gross and y'all wastingmoney.
Yeah, stop it.
Stop making up jobs.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Stop making yourself feel good.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You got some genomes from 75,000 years or whatever
you want to say.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, sell them and put that money into schools.
What you doing.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Buy some people food.
It's like evil science.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's just like some scientists that got too much
money, yeah, and they're kind ofbored.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Well, you know, at the beginning of Jurassic Park
you'd like that little old manwith the cane, with the ember
and the amber.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, and then by the end you wanted to just wring
his neck Because you're like,you know what you did.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, I guess I'm glad they started with dire
wolves instead of just jumpingstraight to woolly mammoth.
I have a question, and this ismore than a question.
So when they clone, I guessthey're cloning it, right?
I'm going to feel dumb sayingthis out loud.
So when they clone something soyou're just coming it's just
(13:30):
from thin air, right?
So you've got to get all thegenomes and all this stuff.
And then do you just inject thatinto a gray wolf and then, when
that wolf has the baby, it'snow the dire wolf, because you,
is that how they do it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
So here's what A1, I mean ai says sorry I do like a1
steak sauce.
I love it, sorry um.
Cloning involves creating agenetically identical, identical
copy of an organism.
This is achieved through aprocess called somatic cell
(14:11):
nuclear transfer, where thenucleus of a cell is transferred
into an egg cell that has itsown nucleus removed, the
resulting egg now containing thedonor's DNA is then stimulated
to develop in an embryo which isthen implanted to a surrogate
mother.
So maybe the gray wolf?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So they do all this Jurassic Park stuff, pop that
into the gray wolf, and thenthat gray wolf gives birth to a
dire wolf.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I don't know.
I wish they had explained it.
So I feel so dumb, so wish theyhad explained it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So I feel so dumb so they're going to do this.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So if they do this, you're not the scientist.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I'm not the one wasting my time on this, making
up a job.
So if they do all this, do theyimplant that into a regular
elephant and then that elephantmom gives birth to a woolly
mammoth.
Mmm that elephant mom is goingto be like what is going on.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Ow, I don't know.
So colossal biosciences, thesepeople.
The de-extinction of the direwolf involved the process of
gene editing, not cloning in thetraditional sense.
I'm reading this, by the way,can you tell?
They extracted DNA from theancient dire wolf fossils.
(15:38):
They compared it to the genomeof the closest living relative,
which is the gray wolf, foundabout 20 genes that contribute
to the dire wolf's traits.
Then these genes were editedinto the cells of the gray
wolves.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And then the edited cells were used to create
embryos which were thenimplanted into the surrogate
domestic dog mothers.
That's what it says.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The resulting pups are essentially genetically
modified gray wolves with somedire wolf treats.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So maybe it's not exactly like the true dire wolf.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, maybe it's just like, when you say it like that
, it sounds like they're stillalive, like naturally.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, I was reading that about the woolly mammoth.
So it says the goal is tocreate an elephant mammoth
hybrid.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Like a golf club.
That's easier to hit.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I guess Not a true clone.
As the mammoth's.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
DNA is too degraded for full cloning.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But they did clone sheep.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Remember that?
Yeah, when was that?
Somewhere, that was like 10years ago or something.
They cloned a sheep, which isthat like 3d printing, I don't
even know how that works.
You just hit the button andleave the room and come back I
don't know this is getting tooseverance.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But, um, yeah, the birth of the dire wolves da, da,
da, da-da-da-da, romulus, remusand Khaleesi, whatever are not
cloned dire wolves, but rathergenetically modified gray wolves
that resemble dire wolves, okay, okay, so maybe it would be
like an elephant withSnuffleupagus, and not Woolly
(17:24):
Mammoth Snuffleup, you know whatI mean?
Like a little bit of a.
It's a hybrid, it's a remix.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, romulus and Remus I know that sounded
familiar were named afterlegendary founders of Rome, and
Khaleesi is a reference to theGame of Thrones character.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Darnarius Targaryen.
Okay, yeah, yeah, I didn'twatch man, but I'm gonna put
(18:03):
money on yeah anyway, I don't,yeah, I don't think there's to
do it, but whatever I don'teither if it makes you feel
better yeah where does it stop,though, if they call?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
if they start doing t-rexes, I'm out can't we solve
the microplastics?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
you can't, they said.
Now you chew some gum, you'regonna get microplastics in your
body.
Can we get the plastic out ofthe extra first before we're
doing this?
You know what I mean.
Can y'all make some really finemesh like nets for the ocean or
I don't know?
Fix the ozone layer orsomething like that?
I don't know.
There's more pressing problems.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, do dodo birds eat plastic.
Oh my gosh, you know, maybeclone that thing.
Yeah, do dodo birds eat plastic.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Oh my gosh, you know, maybe clone that thing, yeah
yeah, make some plastic-eatinggoats, I don't know.
Just put them everywhere, put alittle life preserver on them,
just let them go to town.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Which I saw this on the news this morning.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Must be true.
It's great news.
It's great news.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It's great You've seen the thing about children's
mattresses, which I don't knowwhat a kid's mattress is, I mean
is a mattress.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
A mattress, what no?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
it's like so it's the stuff that makes them flame
retardant.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Causes cancer?
Well, of course it's like achemical Carcinogens.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And then when your kid's sleeping, you know their
body temperature and all thatLike they're breathing in like
harmful fumes.
Yeah, which I have a questionIs my mattress just going to
burst into flames or am Ibreathing the same thing Like
adults don't sweat at night.
They're talking about, like,well, kids' body temperature you
(19:40):
know it can do this.
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I'm pretty sure we all.
Yeah, that's why you got towash your sheets, because it's
gross.
Yeah, yeah, everybody gets hot.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, that's why you got to wash your sheets, because
it's gross, yeah yeah, I thinka dire wolf could sleep on this
and still be smelling it.
You know, I don't know whythey're just going after.
I'm going to go out on a limband say let's give it six months
.
There's some other recall orwarning.
Maybe that's what's on the tagwhen they say don't remove this
tag.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yes on the tag when they say don't remove this tag
yes, under any circumstances.
We told you like ever evenafter I buy it even after.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, but yeah, that was this morning no, I've not
heard that.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, but they make that.
They make kids pajamas likethat I guess.
Well, I guess pajamas you'rewearing it but it's right by
your skin, not bad't that badtoo, yeah, which I feel dumb
about that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Everything is a little bad.
How close are we getting tofires?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And how does the chemical stay in it after you
wash it that many times?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And don't call it that.
That makes it sound like youcould just walk through the fire
.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, yeah, uh-uh what are firemen wearing?
Yeah, that's flame retardant.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
They're going in burning buildings.
Were people just bursting intoflames 300 years ago, Like just
everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Maybe they could use those mattresses to get people
out of the buildings.
Like you know, make one ofthose slides or ramp or
something.
Seriously.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, that's what they do when like grab a
mattress.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah and run through it.
Well, maybe that's why yougotta jump out of the building.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, I ain't jumping on that thing.
It's hot, there's fumes allover it.
Go get that dire wolf.
Come up here and get me.
I'm going to hop on this dodobird and fly down.
Which now I'm thinking, couldthey fly?
I don't think they could.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I don't know.
I know a woolly mammoth ain'tprobably moving very fast.
Do you think they move fast Did?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
they?
I hope not.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, herds of woolly mammoths.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well, now I feel dumb because a dodo bird is a
flightless bird.
That's an ugly bird number one.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You know what?
Okay, I thought that the imagethat the scientists were
standing in front of we justlooked this up on the Internet
y'all Picture of a dodo.
Look it up at your leisure.
I thought it was just sort ofan outline with no color.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Oh, okay.
On it but that's how it looks.
Yeah, there, that's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's a little scary looking, yeah, why you gotta If
you go clone something.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It's pretty hummingbird or something.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm just saying Miss.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, I'm trying to see why they went extinct
Primarily due to human activity.
Oh, let's bring them back now.
We ain't got none of that goingon.
And the introduction ofinvasive species I butchered
that.
Y'all know what I meant Likepigs, rats and cats.
I'm going to go out on a limband tell you something In 2025,
(22:34):
you know what we have?
We have pigs, we have rats andwe have cats, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And apparently direwolves and y'all going to
bring back dodo birds.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Let's let these kind of roam around and not know what
they're doing, so they can goextinct again.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh, we just brought them back and they're gone again
and they're gone.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, no, that's silly.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think, whatever it is I watched maybe it was like
Madagascar or whatever the dodobirds like just were dodos and
just ran off a cliff, which.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They kind of look like they would do that.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, they do.
They are not the scientists ofbirds, for sure.
Well, they didn't ask us.
But I do.
I don't believe in the bringingthe extinct things back, I
don't either.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I did just click on this, sorry.
It says why was the dodo calleda dumb bird?
They weren't dumb, that's whatit says.
Somebody had an affinity fordodo birds.
They weren't dumb, they weretrusting.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Aw Were they.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Did they?
Tell you that Because you're adodo.
It said they had no reason tofear man, as they'd never seen a
human.
Okay, okay, well, how would you?
Yeah, I don't know who wrotethis did.
The dodo said when humans beganto hunt them.
They had a.
They had few defenses, beingflightless, that didn't help a
(24:04):
lot did it, and not especiallyfleet of foot.
Oh my god I think I know whythey went extinct yeah right
there's like a walking targetwith feathers y'all want to go
dodo bird hunting.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
It's dodo season, you don't even need camouflage, you
just walk right up.
It's going to be over prettyquick, and then we'll just hit
Wendy's on the way back.
That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
There's no, you don't need a four-wheeler.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You don't need a dodo .
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You probably don't need a cooler.
You probably don't need a gun.
You could just clock them inthe head, sounds like.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, they're very trusting.
You don't even need a Dodo callyou, just go come here, Dodo.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And you hit them with a, put them in a bag.
Hit them with a bat.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I don't know.
The next one looks at you.
This is violent.
We just got dark, but yeah,it's okay.
Good gracious Anyway, oh Dodo.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Well, I don't know, I don't think we should clone
anything.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
No, that's what museums are for, yeah what's
going to happen to museums?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You're going to bring back all this stuff and take
down the woolly mammoth displayoutside.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, right what you're going to have a skeleton.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I didn't think about that, I'm offended.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You can't lay them to rest properly.
Somebody's been working on adodo bird display.
Oh yeah, at Smithsonian they'relike what?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
There's some place in Brazil.
It's like we got a whole museumfor dodo birds yeah.
You know they're back right.
What yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Take it all down.
Take it all back down, shut itdown.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Let's do dire wolves.
I hate to tell you.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I saw them on the way here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And before you get some new blueprints, they took
the Willie Manless coming back.
So just keep going.
Just set up a museum forsomething we have now that is
about to go extinct Polar bears.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, let's do something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Because they ain't going to bring them back for a
while.
We've seen that Nobody wants tosee the band that broke up
three years ago come back ontour.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
No, but 40 years ago.
People are like, oh, I'm going,they're still buying tickets to
that.
They don't care how old theyare.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Anyway, well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Watch out for the wolves, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, if you hear howling?
Yeah, yeah go in the house.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Go in the house.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Anyway, that's all I got.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
All right.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Have a good one.
Hey, welcome to hey Real Quick.
Well, I try not to read thenews.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Oh yeah, I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
We don't need to say it, but there is one thing that
has come out in the last.
I guess it was the last week.
It's mid-April right now.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
About scientists.
I'm hoping it's scientistsbringing back the dire wolf.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Yeah, like in Game of Thrones, right the really big
one, yeah, like the super size.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
So you know I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
That's what we need right now is dire wolves.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
I guess Let them loose.
I don't know, but Can't hurt?
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, it can.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yeah, well, you know, I was in college when Jurassic
Park came out, the first one.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, I feel like we know where this is going.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yeah, we already saw it.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That's why we have zoos.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
If you want to see an animal go.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Right Go to the zoo and we don't need to bring back
any more.
There's already lions in there.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
There's already you know Bengal tigers, yeah, well,
yeah, the company that did this,I don't know, was Colossal
Biosciences, which sounds likemaybe the evil corporation that
did it in Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I don't know.
I know Colossal.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Yeah, it does Sorry Sounds like a colossal mistake
to mess with Mother Nature.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yeah, and I don't know.
There's a lot going on.
Did this project need to be,you know, april 2025?
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
And there's no telling how long they've been
working on it.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh my goodness, Can you imagine yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It says there.
Well, the first thing from thearticle is the dire wolves were
born by colossal biosciences.
Are super cute and growing intostately animals?
I don't think super cute no Imean they are when you look at
the picture but isn't everything.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Isn't a puppy cute?
Isn't everything?
A baby lion is cute, but thenit's gonna eat your head off
when it's full grown.
Yeah, that's what they said.
And that's what they said inJurassic Park, like oh, when the
little things were hatching,you know, and all them people on
the island.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
No, uh-uh, laura Dern and all the people this is
pre-Chris Pratt, uh-uh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yeah, but yeah, it says.
The company seeking to bringback the woolly mammoth revealed
it had produced three live direwolf wolves puppies I didn't
sound right.
Remus, romulus and Khaleesi Isone of them named after Game of
Thrones, I guess.
So Whatever, we all know howthat turned out if you watched
(03:20):
it.
I didn't watch it, but yeah,didn't turn out good
Resurrecting a species that diedout as many as 13,000 years ago
, according to theircalculations.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I don't know where that pops up.
It was a really long time ago.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
So the main goal is the woolly mammoth.
Are we going for Ice Age herewith Ray Romano?
That's what we're headed for.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I feel like it's not a good time to bring back an
animal that thrived in the IceAge.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, just spitballing.
Yeah, I'm just saying they'reprobably going to be terribly
hot and uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That woolly mammoth is going to have a crew cut.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
How did you lose all that weight?
Well, I just started sweatingit.
How did you lose all thatweight?
Well, I just started sweating.
It was like a sweat box inthere.
Oh my gosh, you look fantasticWooly.
Yeah, I know, I sweated all off.
You know sweating to the oldies.
Yeah, and so they have thesepictures If you go online.
Well, this is USA Today, butthey have these cute little
(04:22):
pictures.
They're cute.
Oh, they're super cute yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Until they grow into stately adults and take over the
world.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Right, yeah, how many are there?
Three?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Three.
It said they spent more than ayear to decode the dire wolf's
evolutionary history.
Well, it used to be history.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Now it's just current events Said.
We generated high qualityancient genomes from dire wolves
that lived 13,000 and 72,000years ago.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Which one is it?
Yeah, high quality.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, what does that mean?
No store brand 72,000 years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Okay, if you say so.
Yeah, but it says that direwolves and gray wolves are much
more closely related thanpreviously thought.
Well, they both have the wordwolf in it.
So I would assume they're kindof related.
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
I don't know how I feel aboutit.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I'm a little bit like okay, I'll give him this, ok,
spectacular, you did that.
You made that.
It wasn't there for a long,long time.
It had gone extinct and nowit's back in existence.
I will give you the.
That's kind of amazing.
And also quit messing, quitmessing with it.
(05:45):
Don't mess with that.
Do you know how much we'vealready messed up, already,
trying to do stuff with juststuff that already exists, uh-uh
.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Yeah, well, it's like , and it says here, their
findings also suggest the direwolf goes back about 4.5 million
years ago.
Well, first of all, you said13,000.
You said 72,000.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And then four and a half million.
Y'all don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No, I don't know that .
They did do the research.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
This sounds like a fifth grader giving a report and
he didn't go back and doublecheck it.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Let's just clone eggs or like chicken eggs to eat, or
iPhones so I don't have to buyanother one.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, but so all right.
So a gray wolf, like nowadays.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
A gray wolf all right .
Labrador retriever Right, 21 to26 inches, 55 to 80 pounds.
Okay and height 21, 26,.
Okay, A gray wolf is 26 to 33inches, about 50 to 150 pounds,
and a dire wolf is 31 inches to42 inches tall, 75 to 150 pounds
(06:53):
.
So it's almost.
I mean, it's three and a halffeet tall, 150 pounds, and it's
a wolf.
It's a wolf and we don't.
I don't understand spendingthis much money and time.
And energy On something wedon't need.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
No.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
And or want.
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
No, mm-mm, it is the houseboat of extinct animals.
Nobody needs it, nobody.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, it says they had a vision of restoring the
woolly mammoth.
That would not only prove thata massive extinct animal can be
brought back, but that themammoth, if reinserted into the
Arctic region, would improve theecosystem and help combat
global warming.
Not sure if the woolly mammothis going to recycle or I don't
(07:45):
know.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I think it's going to die of being dehydrated.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, where are they going to put?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
it, everything's melting anyway.
Do they have a big like freezer?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Is there a zoo in the ?
Yeah, where are we?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Yeah, that's a good question.
Is he doing an ice plunge everyhour?
What's happening?
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah, I don happening , I don't know.
Yeah, I don't get the wholeyeah, so there's.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Where are these wolves?
Where are they right now?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
oh, does it say that is a good question.
Oh, it says also, what aboutthe unintended consequences?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
yeah, what about?
Oh, that's a section, isn'tthat nice?
Somebody did do a little bit ofsomebody put.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
We're messing with nature.
I think you're doing more thanmessing with it.
You've made wolves.
Yeah, um, we're messing withnature.
I think you're doing more thanmessing with it.
You've made wolves yeah.
We're genetically engineeringthese wolves, we know.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yeah, you just told us.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah, if we start tinkering with genes, there may
be unexpected problems.
Did that ever occur?
No, I don't know.
Maybe in like the first phaseof research.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, like, what are the moral implications?
Like, should we even be doingthis?
Um, yeah, so was it in the U S.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm going to have to.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I'm going to feel.
I feel like it says yeah, Ithink it's in the U S, yeah, Um,
I feel like it's this.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yeah, I think it's in the US.
Yeah, A lot of scientists havedisagreed, which I'm.
Yeah, I get it.
Colossal used a gray wolfgenome.
Wait a minute.
Okay, they used a gray wolfgenome, which is 99.5% identical
(09:29):
to the dire wolf genomes.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
That don't even make no sense.
So 0.5% is the different part.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I guess, and then is that what they made up?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
And edited it to make it even more similar to the
extinct dire wolf, alteringtheir size.
Y'all just yeah, uh-uh, y'alljust willy-nilly.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
That's.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
You're just like going on a website to create a
car.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And like can I do a custom color?
You know, let's change it.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
That's what it is.
It's like Jurassic Park, mm-hmm.
Let's take a little bit ofT-Rex A little bit.
Mix it up with a littleVelociraptor, the Endoraptor, or
whatever.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, oh gosh, uh-uh.
No, thank you, I don't knowwhat I think.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't like it, but.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I feel like it's a lot of wasted.
Colossal Chief Sciences OfficerBeth Shapiro.
Wow, wait a minute.
They're here with the image ofthe dodo bird, an extinct bird
that Colossal has announced ithopes to bring back with its
(10:48):
biotech and genetic technology.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
They are the company from Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
These people need to be stopped immediately.
You're going to bring back thedodo bird, which maybe it's just
because I watched Ice Age ordifferent movies or something.
Isn't it like the dumbest birdin?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
the world.
It's called dodo.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It's extinct.
It's called dodo and it's uglyas sin.
It's not a pretty bird, youknow.
It looks like a fluffy flamingoput on a mask to go in and rob
a bank.
That's what it looks likelooking at this picture.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Oh, my gosh man I the dodo bird.
Oh y'all, both dodos, y'allneed to stop making animals I
just think oh, you know, I canjust hear the music now from the
movie, you know and likelooking at the picture of these
two scientists in front of theimage of the dodo bird and
(11:48):
suddenly like a t-Rex is runningtoward them, or velociraptors,
and I'll say this the dodo birdin the picture that are standing
in front of it doesn't look toohappy that they're cloning.
No, it's going to peck theireyes out.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We're going to dodo this again.
Yeah, things go extinct for areason.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, come on, quit it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Whether it be plastic straws in the ocean, whatever,
I don't know, but yeah, yeahwhen something's gone, it's gone
.
It's gone.
Yeah, you're not bringing backstuff.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
No, that's weird.
That's weird.
It's already weird enough.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
It.
It's weird.
It's already weird enough.
It's weird.
It's gross and y'all wastingmoney.
Yeah, stop it.
Stop making up jobs.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Stop making yourself feel good.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
No.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
You got some genomes from 75,000 years or whatever
you want to say.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, sell them and put that money into schools.
What you doing.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Buy some people food.
It's like evil science.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
It's just like some scientists that got too much
money, yeah, and they're kind ofbored.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Well, you know, at the beginning of Jurassic Park
you'd like that little old manwith the cane, with the ember
and the amber.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's all it is.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
Yeah, and then by the end you wanted to just wring
his neck Because you're like,you know what you did.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, don't do it.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Well, I guess I'm glad they started with dire
wolves instead of just jumpingstraight to woolly mammoth.
I have a question, and this ismore than a question.
So when they clone, I guessthey're cloning it, right?
I'm going to feel dumb sayingthis out loud.
So when they clone something soyou're just coming it's just
(13:30):
from thin air, right?
So you've got to get all thegenomes and all this stuff.
And then do you just inject thatinto a gray wolf and then, when
that wolf has the baby, it'snow the dire wolf, because you,
is that how they do it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
So here's what A1, I mean ai says sorry I do like a1
steak sauce.
I love it, sorry um.
Cloning involves creating agenetically identical, identical
copy of an organism.
This is achieved through aprocess called somatic cell
(14:11):
nuclear transfer, where thenucleus of a cell is transferred
into an egg cell that has itsown nucleus removed, the
resulting egg now containing thedonor's DNA is then stimulated
to develop in an embryo which isthen implanted to a surrogate
mother.
So maybe the gray wolf?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So they do all this Jurassic Park stuff, pop that
into the gray wolf, and thenthat gray wolf gives birth to a
dire wolf.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
I don't know.
I wish they had explained it.
So I feel so dumb, so wish theyhad explained it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So I feel so dumb so they're going to do this.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
So if they do this, you're not the scientist.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Yeah, I'm not the one wasting my time on this, making
up a job.
So if they do all this, do theyimplant that into a regular
elephant and then that elephantmom gives birth to a woolly
mammoth.
Mmm that elephant mom is goingto be like what is going on.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Ow, I don't know.
So colossal biosciences, thesepeople.
The de-extinction of the direwolf involved the process of
gene editing, not cloning in thetraditional sense.
I'm reading this, by the way,can you tell?
They extracted DNA from theancient dire wolf fossils.
(15:38):
They compared it to the genomeof the closest living relative,
which is the gray wolf, foundabout 20 genes that contribute
to the dire wolf's traits.
Then these genes were editedinto the cells of the gray
wolves.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
And then the edited cells were used to create
embryos which were thenimplanted into the surrogate
domestic dog mothers.
That's what it says.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
The resulting pups are essentially genetically
modified gray wolves with somedire wolf treats.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
So maybe it's not exactly like the true dire wolf.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Yeah, maybe it's just like, when you say it like that
, it sounds like they're stillalive, like naturally.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Well, I was reading that about the woolly mammoth.
So it says the goal is tocreate an elephant mammoth
hybrid.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Okay, yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Like a golf club.
That's easier to hit.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I guess Not a true clone.
As the mammoth's.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
DNA is too degraded for full cloning.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
But they did clone sheep.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Remember that?
Yeah, when was that?
Somewhere, that was like 10years ago or something.
They cloned a sheep, which isthat like 3d printing, I don't
even know how that works.
You just hit the button andleave the room and come back I
don't know this is getting tooseverance.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
But, um, yeah, the birth of the dire wolves da, da,
da, da-da-da-da, romulus, remusand Khaleesi, whatever are not
cloned dire wolves, but rathergenetically modified gray wolves
that resemble dire wolves, okay, okay, so maybe it would be
like an elephant withSnuffleupagus, and not Woolly
(17:24):
Mammoth Snuffleup, you know whatI mean?
Like a little bit of a.
It's a hybrid, it's a remix.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, romulus and Remus I know that sounded
familiar were named afterlegendary founders of Rome, and
Khaleesi is a reference to theGame of Thrones character.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Darnarius Targaryen.
Okay, yeah, yeah, I didn'twatch man, but I'm gonna put
(18:03):
money on yeah anyway, I don't,yeah, I don't think there's to
do it, but whatever I don'teither if it makes you feel
better yeah where does it stop,though, if they call?
Speaker 2 (18:18):
if they start doing t-rexes, I'm out can't we solve
the microplastics?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
you can't, they said.
Now you chew some gum, you'regonna get microplastics in your
body.
Can we get the plastic out ofthe extra first before we're
doing this?
You know what I mean.
Can y'all make some really finemesh like nets for the ocean or
I don't know?
Fix the ozone layer orsomething like that?
I don't know.
There's more pressing problems.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, do dodo birds eat plastic.
Oh my gosh, you know, maybeclone that thing.
Yeah, do dodo birds eat plastic.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Oh my gosh, you know, maybe clone that thing, yeah
yeah, make some plastic-eatinggoats, I don't know.
Just put them everywhere, put alittle life preserver on them,
just let them go to town.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Which I saw this on the news this morning.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
Must be true.
It's great news.
It's great news.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It's great You've seen the thing about children's
mattresses, which I don't knowwhat a kid's mattress is, I mean
is a mattress.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
A mattress, what no?
Speaker 2 (19:10):
it's like so it's the stuff that makes them flame
retardant.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Whatever?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Causes cancer?
Well, of course it's like achemical Carcinogens.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And then when your kid's sleeping, you know their
body temperature and all thatLike they're breathing in like
harmful fumes.
Yeah, which I have a questionIs my mattress just going to
burst into flames or am Ibreathing the same thing Like
adults don't sweat at night.
They're talking about, like,well, kids' body temperature you
(19:40):
know it can do this.
I'm like.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I'm pretty sure we all.
Yeah, that's why you got towash your sheets, because it's
gross.
Yeah, yeah, everybody gets hot.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yeah, that's why you got to wash your sheets, because
it's gross, yeah yeah, I thinka dire wolf could sleep on this
and still be smelling it.
You know, I don't know whythey're just going after.
I'm going to go out on a limband say let's give it six months
.
There's some other recall orwarning.
Maybe that's what's on the tagwhen they say don't remove this
tag.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yes on the tag when they say don't remove this tag
yes, under any circumstances.
We told you like ever evenafter I buy it even after.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah, but yeah, that was this morning no, I've not
heard that.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Yeah, but they make that.
They make kids pajamas likethat I guess.
Well, I guess pajamas you'rewearing it but it's right by
your skin, not bad't that badtoo, yeah, which I feel dumb
about that.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Everything is a little bad.
How close are we getting tofires?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And how does the chemical stay in it after you
wash it that many times?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
And don't call it that.
That makes it sound like youcould just walk through the fire
.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, yeah, uh-uh what are firemen wearing?
Yeah, that's flame retardant.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
They're going in burning buildings.
Were people just bursting intoflames 300 years ago, Like just
everywhere.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Maybe they could use those mattresses to get people
out of the buildings.
Like you know, make one ofthose slides or ramp or
something.
Seriously.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, that's what they do when like grab a
mattress.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Right, yeah, yeah, yeah and run through it.
Well, maybe that's why yougotta jump out of the building.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, I ain't jumping on that thing.
It's hot, there's fumes allover it.
Go get that dire wolf.
Come up here and get me.
I'm going to hop on this dodobird and fly down.
Which now I'm thinking, couldthey fly?
I don't think they could.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I don't know.
I know a woolly mammoth ain'tprobably moving very fast.
Do you think they move fast Did?
Speaker 2 (21:27):
they?
I hope not.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, herds of woolly mammoths.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Well, now I feel dumb because a dodo bird is a
flightless bird.
That's an ugly bird number one.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
You know what?
Okay, I thought that the imagethat the scientists were
standing in front of we justlooked this up on the Internet
y'all Picture of a dodo.
Look it up at your leisure.
I thought it was just sort ofan outline with no color.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Oh, okay.
On it but that's how it looks.
Yeah, there, that's terrifying.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's a little scary looking, yeah, why you gotta If
you go clone something.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
It's pretty hummingbird or something.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
I'm just saying Miss.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yeah, I'm trying to see why they went extinct
Primarily due to human activity.
Oh, let's bring them back now.
We ain't got none of that goingon.
And the introduction ofinvasive species I butchered
that.
Y'all know what I meant Likepigs, rats and cats.
I'm going to go out on a limband tell you something In 2025,
(22:34):
you know what we have?
We have pigs, we have rats andwe have cats, mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And apparently direwolves and y'all going to
bring back dodo birds.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Let's let these kind of roam around and not know what
they're doing, so they can goextinct again.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Oh, we just brought them back and they're gone again
and they're gone.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Yeah, no, that's silly.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think, whatever it is I watched maybe it was like
Madagascar or whatever the dodobirds like just were dodos and
just ran off a cliff, which.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
They kind of look like they would do that.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, they do.
They are not the scientists ofbirds, for sure.
Well, they didn't ask us.
But I do.
I don't believe in the bringingthe extinct things back, I
don't either.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
I did just click on this, sorry.
It says why was the dodo calleda dumb bird?
They weren't dumb, that's whatit says.
Somebody had an affinity fordodo birds.
They weren't dumb, they weretrusting.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Aw Were they.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Did they?
Tell you that Because you're adodo.
It said they had no reason tofear man, as they'd never seen a
human.
Okay, okay, well, how would you?
Yeah, I don't know who wrotethis did.
The dodo said when humans beganto hunt them.
They had a.
They had few defenses, beingflightless, that didn't help a
(24:04):
lot did it, and not especiallyfleet of foot.
Oh my god I think I know whythey went extinct yeah right
there's like a walking targetwith feathers y'all want to go
dodo bird hunting.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
It's dodo season, you don't even need camouflage, you
just walk right up.
It's going to be over prettyquick, and then we'll just hit
Wendy's on the way back.
That's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
There's no, you don't need a four-wheeler.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
You don't need a dodo .
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You probably don't need a cooler.
You probably don't need a gun.
You could just clock them inthe head, sounds like.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, they're very trusting.
You don't even need a Dodo callyou, just go come here, Dodo.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
And you hit them with a, put them in a bag.
Hit them with a bat.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
I don't know.
The next one looks at you.
This is violent.
We just got dark, but yeah,it's okay.
Good gracious Anyway, oh Dodo.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Well, I don't know, I don't think we should clone
anything.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
No, that's what museums are for, yeah what's
going to happen to museums?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You're going to bring back all this stuff and take
down the woolly mammoth displayoutside.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah, right what you're going to have a skeleton.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I didn't think about that, I'm offended.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
You can't lay them to rest properly.
Somebody's been working on adodo bird display.
Oh yeah, at Smithsonian they'relike what?
Speaker 2 (25:32):
There's some place in Brazil.
It's like we got a whole museumfor dodo birds yeah.
You know they're back right.
What yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Take it all down.
Take it all back down, shut itdown.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Let's do dire wolves.
I hate to tell you.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I saw them on the way here.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And before you get some new blueprints, they took
the Willie Manless coming back.
So just keep going.
Just set up a museum forsomething we have now that is
about to go extinct Polar bears.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yeah, let's do something like that.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Because they ain't going to bring them back for a
while.
We've seen that Nobody wants tosee the band that broke up
three years ago come back ontour.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
No, but 40 years ago.
People are like, oh, I'm going,they're still buying tickets to
that.
They don't care how old theyare.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Anyway, well.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Watch out for the wolves, I guess, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, if you hear howling?
Yeah, yeah go in the house.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Go in the house.
