Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your PODCASTE
Presents show. All right, everybody here, thanks? So except for Elvis, Yeah, alright,
well Brodie's camera. Alright, Brodie's camera. I think we can

(00:25):
live without that. I want to start the show, Brodie, Sure,
let's start today. I want to know everybody's favorite dinosaur
minds a triceratops. Yes, that's a terrible choice. But okay,
no it's not. They're very honorable. Why is that terrible?
I think that because they only they only have their

(00:46):
defenses in the head, so they have to go in
head first to every battle. And the t Rex could
just take a chunk out of the side. Saratops has
no shot the armored collar around their neck. Come on, Danielle,
defend me here. Yeah, but it's not my favorite, Doesnaurus Delasaurus.
And it's because of Jurassic Park. Because in Jurassic Park,

(01:08):
these are the ones that looked so cute and innocent
and then all of a sudden you came close and
like their fins went out and they spit on you.
But you know what, can I ruin that for you too? What?
So allegedly after Jurassic Park came out, they did some
more research into all of the dinosaurs, and that one
in particular was not really tiny and cute and little.
It was the size of a t rex. No, yeah,

(01:29):
they can't do that. Why they do that, I don't know. Well,
maybe there was a baby Delapasaurus in the movie. I
might have missed this day in class when we talked
about dinosaur t rex. So you feel included. I just
never had a strong opinion one way or another about
any dinosaur. Was this thing growing up with? It was,

(01:50):
did you guys like spent dinosaurs? I can't even dinosaur.
The only way I know dinosaurs is from the flintstones.
I know they had brought to saurus burgers and tery doctors.
They were airplanes. When younsaurs best with like my my
nephew Andy, it was obsessed. He can tell you dinosaurs

(02:13):
that I've never heard. Does not compute. I know, I
only could name t Rex. After that, I'm done. I
don't know. I couldn't pick it out of the line
up the tops, the top, the Hellsaurus, that's the best
one is pretty great. I am like Twilight Joan right now.
I guess we never had this growing up. God, we

(02:33):
never had dinosaurs. All right, hang on, I'm gonna pull
up somebody dinosaur flash cards. I want to time taking
love dinosaurs. Took a class trip to the it was
the Museum of Natural History, and we walked into this
huge room and there was that. There it was, and
they said that is a dinosaur, and we're like, oh,

(02:55):
but that was where the conversation ended. We never talked
about it in class. Door. Wow, this is cool about
the dinosaurs. Well, maybe this is mind blowing. I don't know,
but a lot of things don't fossilize, right, So all
we know about the dinosaurs is what their bones look like,
and from that scientists to make the best guestimate that
they can about what they look like and stidd of like.

(03:15):
But apparently hair and feathers do not fossilize. So all
of these reptiles that we see that look the way
that they look, there's a chance maybe that they had
hair and feathers and they weren't as reptilian as we thought,
and some of the mammals were a lot furrier than
we initially thought. I think that's so cool. That is
very cool. There's something in the news not long ago

(03:36):
where they were going to bring back one of the species,
like because they were able to get the DNA or something. Okay,
I don't want to. Okay. So there's this guy that
we interviewed. His name's George Church. You guys might have
seen him before. He's like this crazy guy out of Harvard.
He is working I think he's currently still working on
this project, but he definitely was trying to clone the
wooly mammoth and bring the worly mammoth back, because, yeah,

(03:59):
he says if they can do this and they can
all live in like the poles, that it will stop
global warming park now, didn't you but they didn't go
to the wooly manth It's just a prehistoric is that
guy smoking one of these new government crack pipes? He's
not bringing back. He's a pretty interesting guy if you

(04:20):
look him up. He's got a lot of How will
he stop global warming? The wooly mammoth? That's a great question,
thank you for asking. Apparently, he says that the weight
of the wooly mammoths and herds trampling on the ice
will keep it from melting, thus helping out global warming.
That's his solution. What know, they pack it down even

(04:45):
if they're hot, they're still packing down the ice because
they're so heavy. Did you say, whoso they don't have hooves?
What's a mammoth? What's a mammoth? It's basically a furry
elephant with big They don't have warms. Who they have feet?
Have feet? They don't have hooves? Do you have hooves? Yeah,

(05:10):
you come in the house. So if they're closely related
to elephants, elephants have four hooves on the four foot
and three on the hind foot. I don't think it's
a hooves. He was talking about the tusks in the
front of their right No, he I was talking about
their foes. Yeah, I mean it might be a net

(05:30):
Let's google this. Let's google did they have hooves? Elephants
have hooves? Look at how big their tusks were, up
to fifteen ft long. Oh my god, this is when
I would fall asleep the female elephants walked around. Wow,
he's got some big tusks. It wasn't me. Did willy
mammoths have hooves? I don't know if it does, but

(05:52):
it says that they're so closely related to today's Asian elephants. Okay,
I just found his elephant feet are not hooves, nor
are they paws or claws. They don't have any specialized name.
They're just feet. Ungulates such as goats and horses walk
directly on top of their large nails or hoofs. I
love this one. Did somebody obviously wanted to know if
they were still alive? You know, I actually did quite

(06:15):
a bit of research into that. That whole cloning um
uh willy mammots. Apparently it's very difficult to do because
they would have app They would have to somehow change
the d NA, impregnate an elephant, and it would have
to be an African elephant because they're larger to carry
this thing, and the d N A wouldn't allow the

(06:36):
elephant to carry it the full term. So then they
would have to take that fetus out and then grow
it in a lab because it wouldn't survive a lot
of It's exactly so to bring back something, how we're
supposed to get a herd of willy mammots to trample
the tundra. I don't know that's going to happen. The
details a little bit. I just love this guy's doing

(07:00):
something still massive or like, how is that even possible.
He's just trying to work it out. And this is him.
This is it's He's exactly the person you think you
would be. Does it looks like him? Did you ever
think about who or what the last dinosaur was and like,

(07:20):
did they just die? Yeah? I don't think it was
the asteroid that hit the planet, of course. Yeah. I
think there are a bunch that got taken out at
the same time, so it wasn't there was like one
dinosaur left and then who knows. Maybe, you know what,
Thank god they're not here, because we wouldn't be here
if they were. Maybe you guys can help me with this.
People with children, because I saw a kid's book and

(07:41):
the title made me laugh so hard. But I was like,
what the hell is this? It was a dinosaur? Nope,
it's a dinosaur on the front of the book and
it says all my friends are dead. That is the
name of the book. Is this something that you guys
have read before? I was like, what if you want
to give me the Amazon like, I'll get it. How
my friends are actually gone? Yeah, but you gotta get

(08:01):
that I didn't read it. So if scary if all
your friends were talking about dinosaurs what were you talking about? Then?
I don't know. You know, Brody joined us late, but
Scottie and I have never had dinosaur talk when we
were kids in class, we never really did much with
Dinosobdy Elso didn't see Jurassic Park because he's and he
didn't have I I've never seen or ghost are you guys?

(08:26):
We've talked about this several times, drastically different, So then
you haven't. No, you guys know, I never saw I
haven't seen Ice age two. No, but you guys, but
I don't know. I mean to be honest, and if
I'm being really honest, we don't know what do we

(08:46):
talk about in class? We have friends that talked about dinosaurs,
but has a kid knosaur. It wasn't like we were
having conversations in class. It was like a lesson. You
and your friends used to talk about measuring your dicks.
I mean, that's that's weird. We used to have We
used to play with he Man figures and then each other's.

(09:09):
We used to play each other's Heman homo erotic toys.
Do you ever look at Heman Tonka trucks and and
and he Man and match and stretched in his own
arm Strong. Yeah, Mr Stretchman, he was the Bok Mr Stretch,
Mr Stretchman, open stretch on Strong opened. Those are those

(09:33):
toys that you could say it was like Jelly. It's
like Jelly's corn syrup. I cut it open and all
this white goopies. I had the bootleg Virgin. It was
when he pulled on his all this white goopy stuff there.
I was just gonna say, so, yeah, they can't believe

(09:55):
the rest of them have all had dinosaur experiences that
they didn't name in dinosaurs left and right. Don't I'm
talking to Brody and they don't have kids. You know
when they were kids, they were like, you know, I'm
playing with dinosaur figures. Yeah, I don't play with the Sagasaurus.
That's dinosaurs. Try Sarah tops the Brachiosaurus, Alasaursnosaurus, Dennis Clark, everybody, Dennis,

(10:15):
what's your favorite dinosaur? Yeah, he doesn't have. If I
could answer for him, I'd say, Rick, D's so inside,
so inside a vow going on? What's going on? The

(10:38):
show called dinosaur used to be Yeah on the floor,
everybody that wasn't a documentary scary. I never watched him.
Do you have any desire to. Now hearing all of
us say how good Jurassic Park is, does any part
if you want to go see durass A Park it
really I mean dinosaurs aside, it's really one of the
best movies truly, it's really well made. The storyline. Yeah, Scott,

(11:04):
he got it obsessed with, like Tony the Tiger and
nothing else. When we went to Universal Studios and we
went to Jurassic Park, the Jurassic Park area, you couldn't
appreciate it to its fullest then because you didn't. You
didn't never saw the movie. I mean, I'll go on
the ride, but I don't know what it's about about dinosaurs.
I want to Harry Potter world, not reading one book.

(11:25):
You guys are just fascinated that these gigantic, murderous creatures
existed on the same planet that we now live on
in a completely different atmosphere. Before believes that fascinating. But
I don't have a favorite. Do you think dinosaurs existed?
Of course? Okay, we'll start start for those of you

(11:47):
who love Jurassic in the museum. Yeah yeah, um, for
those of you love Jurassic Park, you have to admit
and depending on how old you are if you saw
it in the movies. In the first time he looks
up and sees the brachiosaurs said, you have no desire.

(12:08):
It's not a spoiler. It's not a spoil. Yeah, the
first time he sees that dinosaur, when he looks up
right out of the and he's in the jeep, that
was it was shocking because that technology didn't exist. We
had never seen a dinosaur look like that in the
movies before, and it was like, you threw yourself in
the theater, like, what the hell did I just look at?

(12:30):
But now every dinosaur movie and TV show since Jurassic
Park uses the exact same computer animation. Like every t
rex on every commercial is the same t Rex from
Jurassic Park. So it's like, oh, it's commonplace you see dinosaurs.
You'll never be able to capture that awe that you
had when it first came out, But it's still a
great movie. Would you agree with that? Approaching old And

(12:52):
I'm sure and it stands the test of time. Maybe
I should watch it. It's a classic. About about my
question though. Living in New York City, the toys are
us used to have the Jurassic Park in remember that
so you would walk into the Toys r us and
every few minutes you would hear the row and then

(13:13):
you'd go upstairs and the huge it was the cool
small child would would cry and crap their pants. It
is very scary like being so my dad was the
manager of that Toys r us um And yeah, so
before the store opened, being in that store where that
damn t rex is frightening as a child, freaking frightening

(13:37):
lights out, nothing but that dinosaur, and it felt like
you're in the movie. That's the store where Amy and
I got drunk and we've we got Cooper's ears pierced
at the Claire's at midnight as she cried bloody murder.
It was spectacular. This podcast brought to you by Parenting
magazine every can Oh you taught your guarante with a

(13:58):
dinosaur in the dark? I stabbed my kids? Are the
years I was drunk? Well? Today was a fine podcast.
Everybody agree. I feel like we've run out of gas.
We're coasting right now. Wait, Scotty and Scary, do you
have a favorite dinosaur now? I still think it's the
brontosaurus because they make burgers out of them. Scary Jones,
what was the last movie you saw in a theater.

(14:21):
I don't even know he's going before the pandemic. I
haven't been to the theaters as I don't remember you
ever saying, oh, I went to the movies this weekend,
Like you don't go to the movies. Really, he doesn't
watch TV TV person. I'm okay with that a little bit.
You just started, Seinfeld. He heard it on this new show. Yeah,
that's right, that's it. We're done. Fifteen minute morning show
