1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies. History is

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: riddled with unexplained events. You can turn back now or

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,159
Speaker 1: learn this stuff they don't want you to know. A

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: production of iHeartRadio.

5
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome back to the show. My name is Matt,

6
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: my name is.

7
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: Now they call me Ben. We're joined as always with

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: our super producer Dylan the Tennessee pal Fagan. Most importantly,

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: you are here. That makes this the stuff they don't

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: want you to know. We are finally return fellow conspiracy realist.

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,160
Speaker 3: We couldn't be more excited to hang with you today.

12
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: This is March tenth, twenty twenty five. If you are

13
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: hearing our Strange news segment as it publishes now full disclosure.

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 3: We wanted to get to this before we dive in

15
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 3: to our regularly scheduled programming. Guys, we had a run

16
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 3: of classic episodes quite recently as we were on the road,

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: and I can't thank our listeners enough for reaching out

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: and just checking in and saying, hey, are you guys okay?

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: So if it's all right with you, I think maybe

20
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: we make a little space just to give people the lowdown,

21
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: the quick skinny.

22
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 4: A dark week, as they say in the industry. Yeah,

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 4: I mean, as honestly, it's one of these things where

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: we probably should have foreseen that that was going to

25
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: happen and talked about in advance. But we had all

26
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: the intentions of doubling down and doing all the regular episodes,

27
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 4: but time zones and travel schedules and things just life,

28
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 4: you know, got in the way, and so we figured

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: this was a reasonable substitute.

30
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 5: We'd super think everyone for rolling with it.

31
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, we were in various places for extended period

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: of time, show.

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 5: Related, un show related. Yeah, it was quite quite the adventure.

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Oh yes, our time in New York was fantas you guys.

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: We kept talking about that show, and then we put

36
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,079
Speaker 2: on this thing where there's a giant video of propaganda

37
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 2: stuff from the government playing while Noel and his friends

38
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: played insanely cool music in this space. We got on stage,

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: we did a whole live show, We did an amazing

40
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: sketch written by Sir Ben Bolin, then we had an

41
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: interview with an awesome person. It was just a great time.

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I mean Ben's sketch that he wrote is

43
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 4: sort of like a bit of a send up of

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 4: They Live, but kind of taking it from a visual

45
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 4: thing with the sunglasses or the glasses that show you

46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 4: the truth behind advertising to headphones and an audio.

47
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 5: Kind of version of that world.

48
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 4: And had the immense pleasure of kind of doing some

49
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: sound design for it, and we triggered it live with

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 4: like cues, like a play.

51
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 6: It was really cool, and we're actually going to publish

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 6: the whole thing, complete with the sketch that we're going

53
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 6: to kind of tweak a little bit for podcast consumption,

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 6: but super excited to for y'all to check that out and.

55
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 3: Credit where due. Matt, that was your original pitch for

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 3: the for the show. We don't want to we don't

57
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 3: want to spoil it too too much. Please do tune in.

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: As we were saying, Matt, we interview justin Richmond. We

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: just can't say enough good about that guy. And we

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: can't say enough thankful and you know, grateful stuff about

61
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: everybody who checked in. We haven't gotten black bagged yet.

62
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 3: I think all of us avoided getting into cults so far. Tonight,

63
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: we're going to learn about some very strange news that

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 3: you may have missed in the headlines. We're going to

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: see a teacher with a side gig. We're going to

66
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: explore some dangerous stories about child fighters, severed human hands.

67
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: We're going to go to space at the very end,

68
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: but perhaps for now, just since we're getting back into

69
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: the saddle, we pause for a word from our sponsors,

70
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: and then can I introduce you guys to some mice

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: I'm really into.

72
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: Only if they're fuzzy. I like mice. They're wooly, That's

73
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 5: the word I was looking for.

74
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: They're wily mice.

75
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 5: We'll be right back, all right.

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 3: So, over the years, if you are a longtime listener

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 3: or a fellow nerd, you have perhaps heard of the

78
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: continuing efforts and statements about de extincting certain animals.

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: Now, way, I thought of that lately, right, like Winddo's

80
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: coming back apparently, is that right?

81
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: Maybe?

82
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: Okay?

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: Yeah? Maybe? And you're you're absolutely right there. No one

84
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: of the continual uh subjects that gets brought up when

85
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 3: we're talking about de extinction bringing back a species that

86
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: has left this earthly plane. We always talked about mammoths.

87
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: Mammoths are like the cooler version of elephants. Yeah.

88
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 2: They got the tusks, like the big old tusks.

89
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: Like the Fleetwood Mac album.

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they got that them feet with Wait, how

91
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 2: does it go the feet with the hoofs fur, then

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: the boots.

93
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 5: With the fur.

94
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 4: It's the boots with the fur, yes, and the apple

95
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: bottom jeans.

96
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: The whole floor was looking at her. That's the lookly mammoth.

97
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, very much.

98
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: So.

99
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: Mammoths were around when early humans were very much in

100
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: the game, and mammoths are much larger than the common

101
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: African or Asian elephant you would see today. Humans are

102
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: the reason mammoths are gone. So human civilization has been

103
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 3: trying to, you know, sort of make up for that

104
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: by bringing mammoths back by leveraging DNA technology and some

105
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: very very smart science to possibly use an elephant as

106
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 3: a surrogate parent, right, because elephants and mammoths are just

107
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: close enough that, you know, like horses and mules exactly.

108
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it requires genetic manipulation of the elephants themselves

109
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: over time, the right iterations, then you have mabies. Then

110
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: you alter the genes a little more, and then it's

111
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: a little closer to a mammoth.

112
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 5: It's weird.

113
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a growth in increment, right, That's how we

114
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 3: arrive at mammoth actual. The first iterations, when successful, are

115
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: going to be elephants that are increasingly exhibiting mammoth traits. Right,

116
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: you can't all of a sudden have a mammoth out

117
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: of whole cloth and to understand how this works without

118
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: getting too too deep into the the science here, too

119
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: too deep into the roota begas of those pursuits. We

120
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 3: can tell you there are other ways to figure out

121
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: or solve for some of these DNA questions. And that's where,

122
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: oddly enough, mice come into the game. Just recently, a

123
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: private company based in Dallas, Texas, called Colossal Biosciences. They

124
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 3: broke a news cycle, at least for nerds, because they said,

125
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 3: all right, we're going to sort of do a use case.

126
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: We're going to prove that you can bring certain mammoth

127
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: like traits back into the waking world. And they did

128
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: it not with elephants, which are much more expensive to

129
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: experiment upon. They did it with rodents. This is where

130
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: we get wooly mammoth like mice. They're not mammoth sized mice,

131
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 3: which would be way cooler and a little more frightening. Instead,

132
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: they have they exhibit the DNA sequences that allowed the

133
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: mammoth to have its amazing tolerance for cold climates.

134
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 5: What are they for, Ben, What do we need these

135
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: these beasts for funies? Yeah?

136
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: I want some of these guys. Yeah, I want them

137
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: just hanging out in my house.

138
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: Okay, we got to real life Pokemon. You know, here

139
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: at the end of history. If you pull up a

140
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: picture of the wooly mouse, then you'll see, and I

141
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: use this word very rarely, they're just the cutest, you

142
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like I I finally figured out

143
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 3: what cute is, and it's because of the wooly mouse.

144
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: They've got this hu uh. They've got crazy looking uh

145
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: anime esque hair. It's of a lighter blonde, brownish tone.

146
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: They also have a much higher tolerance for cold temperature

147
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: than the colder temperatures than your average garden variety lab mouse.

148
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 4: Okay, so like they're more resilient in the tundra. So

149
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 4: I guess we can set them free out there and

150
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 4: they can make their little mouse willly mouse lives in

151
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 4: that climate.

152
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess. I still just don't fully understand

153
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: the point.

154
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a good question. The point is this.

155
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: The point is proving that it is possible to identify

156
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: and mess with certain DNA sequences. So if we take

157
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: the Asian elephant, the closest living relative of the mammoth,

158
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: we immediately have a bunch of hard questions to solve,

159
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: for like, how do we what traits, what sort of

160
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: genetic light switches do we flip on or off to

161
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: get us closer to the mammoth. And in proving this

162
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: or in figuring out if it's feasible at all, this

163
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: company looked at DNA sequences related to the length of hair,

164
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: thickness of hair texture, the amount of body fat, and

165
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 3: they said, all right, if we can figure out how

166
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 3: this works in a mouse, maybe we can take the

167
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 3: same thing that we figured out with the mice or

168
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: the rodent and transfer that to the elephant.

169
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's amazing. They are proving that they can edit

170
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: specific genes and have the outcome right of what they

171
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 2: want for the elephant to mammoth, and they did it

172
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: in the mice and just being able to change the

173
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: hair that much. If you look at the side by

174
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: side picture and the specific Guardian article that you linked to,

175
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: Ben Sure, it's incredible to see the two different creatures

176
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 2: that are the same creature, just with a couple of.

177
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: Edits, Yeah, just a few edits away. Still, I think

178
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: their ears look chipped like that because they probably got

179
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 3: tagged for some sort of material sampling. But if you

180
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 3: go to the Guardian article by Nicola Davis on March fourth,

181
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, you'll see a pretty great breakdown of

182
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 3: how they look different and why. And I will also

183
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: take us just a step further. You guys gain a

184
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: little conspiratorial here. They might be able to cure baldness

185
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,719
Speaker 3: right at this point, like, uh, baldness in humans if

186
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 3: you can, if you can mess with us specifically as

187
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 3: as the company reports, if you can mess with genes

188
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 3: like FGF five fibroblast growth factor five, or like if

189
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 3: you can if you could switch that on. If the

190
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: ethics don't stop us, when have they ever? Well, maybe

191
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: we could get at a monkey's pause situation with anybody

192
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: who is uh looking to avoid male pattern baldness. It's

193
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 3: a Faustian bargain. What if you could get that gene

194
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: switched and you get hair back on the top of

195
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: your head, right, but you also get hair everywhere else.

196
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 5: I was going to say, werewolf rules, Yeah, from x men,

197
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: I got.

198
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: Plenty of chester here. I don't need any more, thank

199
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: you very much, but I would love some more on

200
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 2: the top head.

201
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: Do you guys think we're really fast approaching as this

202
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: stuff kind of you know, improves exponentially that boutique gene

203
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 4: swapping gatica type situation I talked about.

204
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: I think so too.

205
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, I mean approaching.

206
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 4: Where you stand unfortunately or fort right. I'm wondering how

207
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 4: you yeah please.

208
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I say unfortunately because current sociopolitical regimes

209
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: indicate that early adopters will not necessarily be people who

210
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: need life changing genetic therapy. It will more so be

211
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: people who are already very advantaged in their societies. Right,

212
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 3: and then the entry point for democratizing that, for getting

213
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 3: a gadagas situation, as you mentioned, and I love that reference,

214
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: it will be the military. It'll be the one percenters,

215
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 3: and then it'll be the military, and then we'll have

216
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: just some very weird super soldiers for a couple decades.

217
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 2: I want to just this is such a weird situation,

218
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: This concept of carrying out these experiments on elephants, yea.

219
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 2: The lab mice in this, as we talked about in

220
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: previous episodes, are bred by companies. You know, thousands, hundreds

221
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: of thousands, millions of these mice are bred by companies

222
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: across the world to be experimented on. And many of

223
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 2: them who are experimented on don't make it. And that's

224
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: kind of a that's kind of the thing, or at

225
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: least they don't make it out very well, right, The

226
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 2: experiment goes a little a little awry. And that's the

227
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: case in this situation too, where you know, I think

228
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 2: they said, well, here's a quote from Beth Shapiro, the

229
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: chief science officer of Colossal. She said, the efficacy of

230
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: the edits varied, but many individuals were one hundred percent

231
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 2: for all attempted edits. But now imagine doing those kinds

232
00:13:54,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: of edits on elephants. There aren't that many of them, right, l.

233
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: Not with that attitude, now, okiddy, we could. You're right,

234
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: You're right. The elephants, the elephant populations are endangered. I

235
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: love that you're mentioning Beth Shapiro in full disclosure. The paper,

236
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: the paper on this, like the paper of note, has

237
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: yet to be published, but people have people have read this,

238
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 3: People like Robin Lovell Badge, who is head of stem

239
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: cell Biology and Developmental Genetics Laboratory over at the Francis

240
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 3: Crick Institute in London. Krick is famous for his work

241
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: with DNA. Just side reference there. One thing that level

242
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: Badge points out is that we still don't know the

243
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: full extent of this genetic futsery, right. We still don't

244
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: know whether in generation two or generation three there will

245
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: be some kind of Shyamalan plot twist hidden in the DNA,

246
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: because right now, as we record, public knowledge tells us

247
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 3: that it's less like flipping one switch to immediately give somebody,

248
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: say green eyes right or higher than average bone density. Instead,

249
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 3: you flip one switch and it triggers a number of

250
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: still unknown other related switches. So the jury's out, and

251
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: it's going to be expensive to use elephants as a

252
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: way to bridge the gap toward mammoths, but hopefully it happens.

253
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be cool. But they are only dealing

254
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 2: with the what the cosmetic changes, right, the things that

255
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 2: alter the way the body functions. They're not altering the

256
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 2: behavioral stuff like, and nobody knows what a welly mammoth does,

257
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: how is it different from an elephant? And what do

258
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: you got to change to get that?

259
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 3: Right? What would be for instance, how would they interact

260
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: with smell, right or other sensory input. Those are those

261
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 3: are questions that are much more complicated to answer, and hopefully,

262
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: hopefully we get there, you know what I mean. I

263
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know how expensive it is to

264
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: launch an experiment with elephants in particular. I do know

265
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: that we I'm going to do a quick segue here,

266
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: just because of we're running in time. I do know

267
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: that we're seeing some exciting times with human and animal

268
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: interactions overall. By the way, you guys, we did successfully

269
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: call it. Rising egg prices in the United States have

270
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: sparked a trend of renting chickens called.

271
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: It makes sense, makes total sense on points.

272
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 5: As per usual, I.

273
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: Went to my local publics and they literally didn't have

274
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: eggs except for the little tiny containers that have six

275
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 2: and they were crazy expensive, and there were literally four

276
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 2: of those containers on the shelf when I went with

277
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: my son.

278
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 3: Did you pick any up?

279
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, we needed eggs.

280
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: It's funny.

281
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: At the leadle near my house where I shop, they

282
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 4: had plenty of eggs, but there was a two per

283
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 4: customer maximum, and so of course I bought two and

284
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: then my dear friend was over for dinner who was

285
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 4: a huge egg fan, and I offered her one of

286
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: my two dozen eggs and she was thrilled.

287
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: Taking the relationship to the next thing. Yeah, yeah, I

288
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 3: got you some eggs.

289
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 5: Uh huh.

290
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 7: You know bl frym sprambloom, make one of those things

291
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 7: out of a cardboard and you drop from the top

292
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 7: of a building like in a science class with them.

293
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 5: No, that's no, they're too precious for that.

294
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: We know this is happening in New Hampshire. At least

295
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: you go to the BBC. There's a great video and

296
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 3: article up there now from a couple of days ago.

297
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 3: Christine and Brian Templeton of golf Town or Joffstown, New Hampshire,

298
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: have created a business called Rent the Chicken. They say, look,

299
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 3: we will give you hens and we will feed the hens.

300
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: We'll teach you how to not let them die. We'll

301
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: rent them out for six months and during that six

302
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 3: month period for about six hundred bucks, you can collect

303
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 3: all the fresh eggs that you wish or that these

304
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: chickens will produce. For the record, if you're looking at

305
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: one hen, that's about six eggs a week per them.

306
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 3: So two hens can produce a dozen eggs per week,

307
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 3: and then you have to do the math, like, at

308
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 3: what point does the grocery store become so expensive that

309
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: one hundred bucks a month for a lot of eggs

310
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 3: makes more financial sense, dude?

311
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: And then you can have a side hustle with eggs,

312
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: you know, like imagine the people who would flock I'm

313
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 2: using that word on purpose to your hour to get.

314
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 5: Them eggs behind you, guys.

315
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 4: I was recently rewatching some old Simpsons episodes on a flight,

316
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 4: and there's an episode where Homer gets the idea of

317
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: collecting grease. He wants to become a grease smogule, and

318
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: in order to do that, he just buys all this

319
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: bacon and just saves the grease. And then Barna informs

320
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 4: him that he is spending way more money on bacon

321
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 4: than he could possibly ever make with grease. So I

322
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: think being an egg mogul this is definitely superior than

323
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 4: being a grease mogul.

324
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 5: For now, I yield by time.

325
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 3: For now, there's always a hustle, right, There's always there's

326
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 3: always something happening as we record. Right now, the United

327
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 3: States government is considering literally selling off a ton of

328
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 3: government buildings, so we see the rise of the wooly mice.

329
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: I have a question for you guys off mic with

330
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 3: stuff we didn't get to about the possible new Great depression,

331
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 3: or of course, the Zizian cult. Don't call it a cult.

332
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 3: In the meantime, before we pause for a word from

333
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,119

Speaker 4: And we have returned with the aforementioned cavalcade that was

345
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: promised by Ben.

346
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 5: I'm going to make good on that, buddy, I don't know.

347
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: I'll start with a couple of weird ones. I guess

348
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: all three of these are weird, but some are a

349
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 4: little more upsetting. Than weird, So we'll start with the.

350
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, still slightly upsetting but weird story out of Ireland.

351
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 4: A bird flying over a school yard apparently dropped some

352
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 4: human remains onto a playground.

353
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 5: Very David Lynchian, y'all.

354
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 4: This sounds like the inciting incident of like some sort

355
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 4: of weird, spooky artsy noir film like Blue Velvet that

356
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: starts with like the severed year being found. The remains

357
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 4: in question a human hand, which was discovered at a

358
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: schoolyard in Ireland and is thought to have belonged I'm

359
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 4: sorry this is also upsetting, belonged to a child according.

360
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 3: To Yeah, this is like a twelve year old male.

361
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 4: That's correct, that potentially was injured significantly in a gasoline

362
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: can explosion, is what I've seen in some of the

363
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 4: chatter on Reddit.

364
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 5: I don't know that that's been confirmed yet.

365
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: In the statement that People Magazine received, the National Police

366
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 4: and Security Service of Ireland, the guide is Guard Yeah

367
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 4: exactly said that they were alerted to the discovery of

368
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 4: partial human remains at a premises in Darndale, Dublin on Friday,

369
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 4: Dale Darlin, Darndale, Dale, Darndale, Dublin.

370
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: Guys, Okay, so far be it for me to make

371
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 3: light of the surely storied history of Darndale, Dublin. But

372
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: Darndale is just an amazing name.

373
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 5: It's fantastic.

374
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 4: I wanted to point that that sounds like it should

375
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 4: be a neighbor of Springfield in Shelbyville.

376
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 5: You know, you darn Darndale.

377
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: Sticking with this, it's my new It's gonna be my

378
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 3: new curse word substitution. Instead of damn it, I'll just

379
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 3: say Darndale, yeah, or you could say Shucksville, you know.

380
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 4: The statement did add according to people that the state

381
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 4: pathologist was told about this discovery and the body part

382
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 4: was removed for examination and DNA analysis which will help

383
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 4: the police organization and confirming the identity and determine the

384
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 4: course of the investigation.

385
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 5: It does remain ongoing.

386
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: When this was dropped by a bird on the schoolyard

387
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 4: at around ten thirty am local time, there were fortunately no

388
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 4: children at play. They were off on break for their

389
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: midterm break. Yeah to your point. Been The Irish Independent

390
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: reported that the severed hand displayed signs of injury and

391
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 4: may have belonged to a local twelve year old boy

392
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: who was injured from a gas can explosion the evening before.

393
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 4: And you know, I was actually listening to this podcast

394
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 4: that I enjoy where I heard this. It's called weird

395
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: af News with Jonesy. Check it out. It's fun. And

396
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 4: he pointed out that like, well, actually in real time,

397
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 4: like asked the question and then discovered the answer. I know,

398
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 4: you can reattach fingers. Can you reattach an entire hand?

399
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: And there is a procedure for doing that, although the

400
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: mobility and full you know, motor functioning of the hand

401
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: would be severely.

402
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 3: Limited, and it's super time sensitive, very time sensitives.

403
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 4: At that point, it does say likely this injury occurred

404
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,439
Speaker 4: the night before, so you know, forensics surely, you know,

405
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 4: took the hand from the scene, and I would imagine

406
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 4: did anything they could to preserve it, knowing that they knew.

407
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 5: So hopefully it's returned to its young owner. I mean, gosh, do.

408
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 3: We know what kind of bird?

409
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 5: Though no, no indication was to these species of.

410
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 4: Bird we're talking about here, I'm picturing a very like

411
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 4: an African swallow maybe two towing it on a line.

412
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: I'm picturing something carnivorous, right, because we know raptors in Ireland.

413
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 3: I think there are also some vultures, but its in

414
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: eagle Yeah, eagle hawk raptors. Yeah, like there wouldn't be

415
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: an owl would probably not be interacting at that point. Uh,

416
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: you know they're they're kind of night boys.

417
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 5: So yeah.

418
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 4: Some of the some of the comments on the People

419
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 4: magazine website, which they make very clear that they do

420
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 4: not endorse the opinions and views shared by readers in comments.

421
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 4: One of the very first ones man after my own heart,

422
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 4: person human after my own heart. How very David Lynch.

423
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: But then this one I find very fascinating. Did the

424
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 4: bird eat the child? There is little transparency in the story.

425
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: We have no idea if this builder is a type

426
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 4: of raptor or not, nor did we know how young,

427
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: slash small the child was. Raptors like eagles and hawks

428
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 4: are large enough to snatch up children under four years old.

429
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 5: Good points.

430
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 4: Oh, also, I know, I know it is a little

431
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 4: finger wagging at people, which, by the way, our dear

432
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 4: friend Jordan Rundog yes, used to I believe right for people.

433
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if he was a staff writer or not,

434
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 4: but I mentioned to him how lately people like I

435
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 4: don't know if you guys see this or follow it

436
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 4: or it pops up on any of your feeds. But people,

437
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: the species are the mag people the magazine mainly are

438
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: focusing these days on the darkest, most bummer of stories.

439
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 4: And I think he said that there's an inside joke

440
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 4: among folks that maybe have worked there that I think

441
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 4: they refer to it as like sad people or.

442
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 5: Something like that.

443
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 4: But AnyWho, I did think that was a bizarre and

444
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 4: Lynchian story that I just wanted to lead with, so

445
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: nothing much to maybe discuss there, much more so in

446
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 4: these other stories, the second of which also involves a school.

447
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 5: Actually, all three.

448
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 4: Of my stories today involve strange occurrences at schools. In

449
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: this next one, a teacher at a Salinas County school

450
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 4: was put on leave and has apparently returned to the

451
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 4: classroom after being accused of selling test enhancing pills to students.

452
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 4: This is a tricky story, and there's no name's name,

453
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 4: which I think is good because this is kind of

454
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 4: like a situation where there could be some I don't know,

455
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 4: maybe someone trying to get this teacher in trouble. Maybe

456
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: there's a grudge or something we don't know, But a

457
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 4: lot of this information comes from text messages that were

458
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 4: received from a particular student by their parents. A high

459
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: school math teacher in California. This is coming from fourteen

460
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 4: news dot Com was on leave and under investigation for

461
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 4: allegedly trying to sell pills to his students. I'm getting

462
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 4: these messages from my daughter that her teacher is selling

463
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 4: drugs in classroom to enhance homework and test performance, and

464
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 4: I just thought, maybe she's taking it out of context,

465
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 4: said the student's mother, who didn't want to be named

466
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 4: or named their child, of course, and goes on to

467
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 4: say this is appalling. There is no way a teacher

468
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 4: is doing this, to put that onto teenagers who are

469
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: still learning, their brains are still developing, and you're normalizing

470
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 4: drug use within a classroom in the middle of a

471
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 4: fentanyl crisis. It's absurd. The lack of judgment to me

472
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 4: is astounding. So if true, if these were in fact

473
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: active ingredient containing narcotics of some kind, stimulants, whatever, all

474
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 4: of that holds true, and the judgment or lack thereof

475
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 4: point also holds true. In this alternate scenario which the

476
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 4: police have put forth, that it's possible that this was

477
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: just a silly joke the teacher was playing. Apparently, when

478
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 4: one student asked the teacher what was in the pills,

479
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 4: the teacher said it was a secret.

480
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: Okay, fast forward to court your order, I plead.

481
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 4: Silly joke, yeah exactly, And I was selling the tests

482
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: or sorry, I believe the.

483
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: Study homework enhancing variety and.

484
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 4: The test enhancing variety five and ten, respectively dollars American

485
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 4: list price though sorry more so five for homework, twenty

486
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 4: five for test dancing. Yeah, and also recommended taking fifteen

487
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 4: a week for maximum ethics.

488
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. I asked what is in them?

489
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: The text message to the parent that screenshot it here,

490
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 4: and he said it's a secret. So even if silly joke, y'all,

491
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 4: the point about the a fentanyl epidemic and normalizing drug use,

492
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 4: we know a lot of young people take things like

493
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 4: riddling off label, you know, literally black market so that

494
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 4: they can grind out studying with all the pressure that's

495
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 4: put on tests, on these high high pressure tests. So

496
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 4: to have a teacher even as a joke whatever, they

497
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 4: were really awful.

498
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: That's also three hundred and seventy five dollars a month

499
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: just for the test enhancement pills. If it's if you

500
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: have to take at least fifteen and they are twenty

501
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: five US dollars of pop, right, that's three hundred and

502
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,239
Speaker 3: seventy five US dollars. That's egregious. Sell cheaper drugs, oh,

503
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: one hundred percent.

504
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 4: And I tend to believe the idea that this was

505
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 4: some sort of.

506
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: Off the you know, off the joke.

507
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like, yeah, I don't think any money exchanged hands, y'all.

508
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: But the point remains from another teacher, another a student's parent. Now,

509
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 4: if they see a teacher joking, even joking about that

510
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: kind of situation, then what kind of example is that

511
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 4: setting for our children?

512
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 5: I think it's atrocious. He doesn't know these children's.

513
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 4: Medical history, he doesn't know what their allergies are, and

514
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 4: he's hawking a secret pill that they could then take

515
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: and something really horrible could happen.

516
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 5: Again, I think it was.

517
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 4: More of like a gag where he would never actually

518
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 4: have given them to the students. But not very smart

519
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: on the part of the teacher, even if he like,

520
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: what's the joke there, what's the teachable moment there?

521
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 5: It's just pretty gross.

522
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: Like in terms of the normalization of drugs, with the

523
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: implication there of saying, you know, it's just an authority figure.

524
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 5: I don't know.

525
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 2: Well, it's also a story that was told to a

526
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: parent by a student, right right. And the official update

527
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: that was given by the principal of the school is

528
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: that the Salina's police department and the human resources department

529
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: of the school work together investigated and they quote found

530
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 2: no findings in the staff member is returning to the campus.

531
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 3: I saw that, yeah, And it's also it's also perhaps

532
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 3: if we game it through, it could be one of

533
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 3: those things where the teacher is making a joke that

534
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 3: gets taken out of context or gets extrapolated beyond its

535
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: original scope. And maybe the whole answer was the reason

536
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: I'm bringing up the math here. Maybe the whole answer was,

537
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 3: if you can't afford the pills, I have something that's

538
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 3: even better than drugard, which is studying. And here are

539
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 3: some resources. Because look, we are severely pro teacher and

540
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 3: pro education on stuff they don't want you to know.

541
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 3: We have close family members who are or were during

542
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: their lives educators. Of note, Teachers are not in it

543
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: for the money, you know what I mean, not like

544
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 3: those fancy guys do an improv comedy. They're in it

545
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: because they want to make the world a better place,

546
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 3: and usually they're going to have a great sense of humor,

547
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: very approachable people. They just worked so hard, can't we though?

548
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 4: Agree though, Like, I'm not trying to throw any teachers

549
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 4: under the bus here that even if this were a

550
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 4: joke and it did have the teachable kind of punch

551
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 4: line that you're describing, ben just a little in poor

552
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 4: taste given the situation, the circumstances that we're living in.

553
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, yeah, yeah, I'm.

554
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: Just skeptical that it happened at all.

555
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 5: I agree with you there too, Matt. I do agree

556
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 5: with you there too.

557
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 4: It does sound like the main source was one student,

558
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 4: So I'm really sorry if I made this blew this

559
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 4: out of proportion. I just thought even the reporting of

560
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 4: it is interesting. But yeah, I certainly was never implying

561
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 4: that I thought this actually happened, or that there was

562
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 4: a teacher slinging drugs per se. But yeah, no, I

563
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 4: think it's a very good point. Although sure is specific,

564
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,479
Speaker 4: isn't it, Like I mean, the kid was saying it

565
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 4: was in a plastic baggie, there are two different ones.

566
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 4: Had the price point I mean, if you're going to

567
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 4: make up a lie about a teacher, like it's an

568
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 4: odd one.

569
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: Let's go to TikTok, which is clearly the world's number

570
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: one source of unbiased, fact based news, and let's see

571
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: what TikTok says.

572
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 5: Yes, absolutely, and.

573
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 3: If we're all are doing bad, if we're od TikTok, right,

574
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 3: maybe maybe we could check out another true story you found,

575
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: which is of definitely not a bad joke, but no

576
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: arguably something that is a much more dangerous conspiracy.

577
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 4: Really rough, guys, I don't know if you remember, there's

578
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 4: a series of like underground like internet videos called.

579
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 5: Bum fight Fights. Yeah, back in the day, it was

580
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 5: just awful.

581
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 4: It was literally, you know, folks rounding up unhoused people

582
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 4: and paying them money to like beat the crap out

583
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 4: of each other. And apparently something like that, it's very

584
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: much been happening. And another the last story was in California.

585
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 4: This is in another I guess not really an educational facility,

586
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 4: but a you know, child youth detention centers I guess

587
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: what you might call it for juv for a juvie

588
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 4: one hundred percent. And there have been reports more than reports, actually,

589
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: there have been indictments or at the very least arraignments.

590
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 4: In a case of officials there, I guess what you

591
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 4: would call security staff that type of position. I've apparently

592
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 4: been encouraging young people inside its facility in Downey, California

593
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:21,240
Speaker 4: to fight each other in gladiator style battles. Thirty officers

594
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 4: have been charged in connection with what are being called

595
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 4: by the BBC gladiator fights they sometimes encouraged inside of

596
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 4: California Youth Center. According to the state's Attorney General. Charges

597
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 4: against them are including child endangerment, abuse, conspiracy, and battery.

598
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 4: And that's according to Attorney General Rob Bonta's official press

599
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 4: release that came out this week. There have been an

600
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 4: estimated sixty nine fights documented at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall

601
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 4: there in Downy from July to December of twenty twenty three,

602
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 4: and an investigation into these brawls started after footage from

603
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 4: one of these fights was leaked, which led to officials

604
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 4: discovering one hundred and forty three victims involved in this

605
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 4: organized fighting, ranging from ages twelve to eighteen years old.

606
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 5: Wow, that's just not good man.

607
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: No, it does make me wonder. Okay, do you guys

608
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 2: have the thing where if you're in a really bad

609
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 2: mood or you're feeling down, a little bit of aggression,

610
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 2: like getting out a little bit of aggression actually helps

611
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: stabilize your mood. Is that I think you either.

612
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: Hit like a heavy bag or a willing participant, you

613
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 4: know what I mean, or it's lift some weights or

614
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: something and not be coerced by you know, youth detention

615
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 4: officials to beat the crap out of my fellow you

616
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:44,240
Speaker 4: know kids.

617
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 5: Sorry, I know that's not what you're doing. I know

618
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 5: that's not what you're suggesting, Matt.

619
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 2: I just yeah, what I'm suggesting is I wonder if

620
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: some kind of like martial arts training with the mental

621
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: and like almost quasi spiritual thing that goes into that

622
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: training would be a massive benefit for chill who are

623
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: in detention centers like this, where you get that that

624
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: training and you get aggression out in a you know,

625
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 2: a positive way.

626
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 4: It teaches you how to focus it differently and also

627
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 4: how to respect it. And if my understanding of you know,

628
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 4: those kinds of classes for young people, it's a lot

629
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 4: of it. It's about knowing when you know how to

630
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 4: pick your battles and using it as a last resort.

631
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 4: And having respect for your opponent and things like that, right.

632
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for your teacher. So I do, yeah, I

633
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 2: want all right, just quote.

634
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: Just to give you more of a sense of it.

635
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,959
Speaker 4: It does seem like these videos where it's not clear

636
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 4: yet as to whether they were being sold or streamed

637
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,720
Speaker 4: or whatever. But watching the videos from that press release

638
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 4: from Bonta, the Attorney General, the officers look more like

639
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 4: referees or audience members at a prize fight, not adults

640
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 4: charged with the care.

641
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,720
Speaker 5: And supervision of young people.

642
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 4: The officers don't step in, don't intervene, and don't protect

643
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 4: their charges. Our department is coming from the La County

644
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: Probation Department, which runs the facility, says our department sought

645
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 4: the assistance of law enforcement authorities when misconduct was discovered.

646
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 4: Since then, we have fully collaborated with our law enforcement partners.

647
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 5: Two of the teens.

648
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: Involved have hired lawyers and they're you know, this is

649
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 4: obviously a really sticky situation for the county, you know,

650
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 4: and the authorities they're running the facility. So yeah, one

651
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: of the teens was seen being attacked in one of

652
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 4: the videos, a sixteen year old, and this is a

653
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 4: person who is being represented by a lawyer named Jamal Tewson,

654
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 4: who also said the other teams he represented were attacked

655
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,359
Speaker 4: multiple times in a single day at the facility, one

656
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 4: of the clients being left unconscious and with potential TBIs

657
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 4: or traumatic brain injuries. Pretty nasty stuff, y'all. So I

658
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 4: think that's my time. If anybody, I don't know, if

659
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 4: you can ben any thoughts on teen fighting rings.

660
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, many co co combat is non ideal, and there's

661
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: a long historical precedent of it, so maybe it's something

662
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: we explore in the future.

663
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, good point, and it probably you know, it's not

664
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 4: something I really thought about until I saw this story,

665
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 4: But I imagine in places where there is less oversight, man,

666
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: mar you know, we've just been talking about that region

667
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 4: a lot lately. If this kind of thing isn't even

668
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 4: more widespread, like if there's human trafficking for the purposes

669
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:32,359
Speaker 4: of ill gotten gains, this could well be a thing

670
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 4: that people are doing.

671
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know, it just occurs to me.

672
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 4: Let us take a quick break here, a word from

673
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 4: our sponsor, and then we'll be back with some more

674
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 4: strange news from mister Frederick.

675
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: We've returned guys, are you as stoked as I am

676
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 2: for lunar commerce?

677
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: You absolutely know I am. It's unfair for you to

678
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: ask me on air, but yeah, I actually almost texted

679
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 3: text to you guys with some of the I don't know.

680
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 3: We should call them big wins, right, these are big wins.

681
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 3: Just the math of getting to the Moon is crazy.

682
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: This is massive, you guys. It's almost mass effect level massive.

683
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,840
Speaker 2: We're on the moon. A private company has successfully landed

684
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,240
Speaker 2: a lander on the Moon. It was in orbit around

685
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 2: the Moon. It was on autopilot, then it went into

686
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: autopilot landing mode, and it successfully with all of its tripods,

687
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 2: landed on the Moon.

688
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 3: It is the first.

689
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: Time a private company has put a spacecraft on the

690
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 2: Moon without you know, immediately crashing or falling over and

691
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 2: being able to use its instruments the way it wanted to. That.

692
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 3: We know about. That, we know about We have to

693
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: say that just you're right, get in front of it.

694
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 2: You're right, you're right. But this is super We're exciting.

695
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 2: It happened the last Sunday as we're recording right now,

696
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:09,240
Speaker 2: March second. The company's name is Firefly Aerospace. The lander

697
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: is called the Blue Ghost which is kind of cool

698
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 2: to named after a rare species of firefly.

699
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 5: Just kind of dope. They kind of missed the opportunity

700
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 5: to call it space ghost.

701
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 3: Oh that's a really good point.

702
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 5: I don't know, I'm just saying blue ghost.

703
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 3: That's a really good point, though. Somebody right to.

704
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 5: Them for that comment. Card. Sorry, Matt carry Out.

705
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,800
Speaker 2: I watched the clip this morning of Conan on Space

706
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:37,959
Speaker 2: Ghost Coast. Yeah, the space ghost sees a little ant

707
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: and is crawling on him and he shoots it and

708
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, destroys the ant, and there's another

709
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: ant and he says, oh, the ant has returned. The

710
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 2: ghost ant is to avenge his brother or to avenge

711
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 2: himself or whatever.

712
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 5: Any what a weird and wonderful show. Glorious.

713
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: Okay, but back to space in the moon. This is huge,

714
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: you guys, because this thing was carrying a drill, a

715
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 2: vacum and quote other experiments for NASA, and it was

716
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 2: the first successful attempt in NASA's very interesting thing they've

717
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: got going on right now called the Commercial Lunar Payload

718
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 2: Services Program, which is attempting to get a bunch of

719
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 2: private companies to compete with each other to get to

720
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 2: the Moon and get that science slash commerce going very

721
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: very again. I can't I can't overemphasize how awesome it

722
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 2: is that this happened. You can watch a video that

723
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,400
Speaker 2: was edited from footage that this thing, the Blue Ghost

724
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: took as it descended from orbit and landed on the Moon,

725
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 2: and it's we're talking four K footage, baby, We're talking.

726
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,439
Speaker 2: It looks like what you imagine a mood landing should

727
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 2: look like. And I'm just assuming it's real. I have

728
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: to assume it's all real. It's cool, it's it's just

729
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 2: for sure happened.

730
00:41:56,080 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 3: It is real because just just Freddy who's asking clearly

731
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: a valid question. You can go to multiple non biased

732
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 3: objective sources for nerds who study the sky, the launches

733
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: confirmed they got to the correct point. Their incredibly difficult

734
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 3: math turned out to work this time. And even at

735
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 3: that point, by the way human civilization, the smartest humans

736
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 3: who know who spent their lives just tried to get

737
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 3: to the Moon, they're still sort of rolling the dice.

738
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: This is bleeding edge science, and the point you're bringing

739
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 3: up here, Matt, is something we talked about in previous episodes,

740
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 3: as well as strange news and listener mail. The monetization

741
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: is the tricky thing, right. The pure science is being

742
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: funded at least partially because there are some entities that

743
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 3: expect some kind of financial return. Whatever the time window

744
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 3: is on that ROI, there are clear realistic expectations that

745
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 3: something will work out.

746
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one big old investment in this one lander,

747
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 2: in this one company. NASA chucked out one hundred and

748
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 2: forty five million dollars to make it happen, to launch it,

749
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: and they paid forty four million in total for the

750
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 2: science and tech on board, one hundred and one million

751
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 2: for the delivery itself, which is still mind bonded, mind

752
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 2: bogglingly expensive to get this thing to happen, but worth

753
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 2: it because of the investment. We talked about how it

754
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 2: carried a vacuum in a drill. The vacuum is to

755
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 2: study moon dirt for analysis.

756
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 5: Moon dirt, I don't funny.

757
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: Moon dirt and debris and just the dust particles were

758
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 2: a massive problem for the Apollo astronauts for those missions.

759
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: If they actually happened, I think they did, maybe I

760
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: don't know. So they're gonna analyze the dirt. See how

761
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 2: we can mitigate that dirt in future missions, right how

762
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 2: it's everywhere, Yeah, yeah, and even I think it has

763
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 2: a special thing on board to cleanse itself of the

764
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 2: moon dirt, which is pretty dope.

765
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 3: Clean yourself up, Moonlander.

766
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 2: Because it gets in all the sensors, it gets in

767
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 2: all the cracks and all the things you don't want

768
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 2: that in there. But it also carried a drill to

769
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,560
Speaker 2: go down about ten feet below the surface to study

770
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 2: temperatures of the Moon's surface, which is pretty cool. And

771
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: there's end quote other experiments for NASA, so we don't

772
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: know what those are. It reminds me of the X

773
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 2: thirty seven B. There's experiments on board for science.

774
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,880
Speaker 3: X thirty seven B finally got back on social media.

775
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 2: That's kind of tight, isn't Oh yes, we're gonna talk

776
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 2: about a picture that was shared in just a moment

777
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 2: that was foreshadowing.

778
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 5: Isn't that the name of Elon Musk and Grimes's baby.

779
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: X thirty seven B does a joke, does a little joke.

780
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 2: That's an awesome name.

781
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 5: Oh no, it's basically that it's very close to that

782
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 5: as it's actually something.

783
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 4: It's they call him X for Shorty was the little

784
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 4: little guy that was in the White House that said

785
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 4: SpaceX we do whatever we want and you can't stop us,

786
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 4: or whatever.

787
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 5: He said, I shall.

788
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: Name my child after this unmanned space shuttle that can

789
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 2: stay in these It's like x A.

790
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 3: E A dash XII.

791
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 4: It's like the AE and on Ama by tool. It's

792
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 4: that little I guess it's Greek.

793
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, also true, Yes, callback then I love flux.

794
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 3: But as we're saying, this is a perhaps most perhaps

795
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: most honestly this private entities partnership with one of the

796
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: premier public entities and all of space exploration, perhaps it's

797
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: best seen as a harbinger. Someone's doing the homework here,

798
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 3: and I love Matt that we are more than once

799
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: pointing out the vague, the vague reference to miscellaneous instruments,

800
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 3: which probably means they're at a little bit too complicated

801
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: to describe in a clean sentence for we land lubbers. Sure,

802
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 3: maybe maybe there's stuff like spectrograph analysis. I'm just gonna

803
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,280
Speaker 3: throw some more science words, like what's a really science

804
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:18,720
Speaker 3: you word?

805
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 5: Mitochondria? You got mitochondria is great?

806
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 3: They got a mitochondria reader in cephalopathologic or gravitational The Jonkers.

807
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 2: Well, see, I think you need some kind of microphones

808
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 2: on there to study the lunar songs that the Apollo

809
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: astronauts heard, because we got to figure out what the

810
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: heck's going on there.

811
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hopefully they're doing a podcast with this lander, right,

812
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 3: is the lander doing a podcast? No?

813
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: No, no more podcasts, please a moon cast. But study

814
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 2: the sounds. I think there might be some sounds, even

815
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 2: though there's no atmosphere to send sounds out yet. Those

816
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: astronauts heard songs anyway. Weird stuff. But let's just talk

817
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,959
Speaker 2: about this whole commerce thing because it goes further tomorrow.

818
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: We're recording this on Wednesday, March fifth. Intuitive Machines, a

819
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 2: second private company, is attempting to land their second lunar

820
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 2: lander on the Moon. They tried last year and it

821
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 2: was like a tripod situation, and when it landed successfully,

822
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 2: it tipped over because one of the legs malfunctioned, And

823
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: that's why Firefly gets that coveted first private lunar landing.

824
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 2: But Intuitive Machines was there and they almost made it.

825
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: A bunch of other companies have tried it and almost

826
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 2: made it, but their landers have crashed or just haven't

827
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: functioned properly. Intuitive Machines is putting their second one up there,

828
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,879
Speaker 2: and like hopefully it happened. You'll know by the time

829
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: you hear this if it did or not, so you

830
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,760
Speaker 2: can search it up if you want to. It's Intuitive Machines.

831
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: Their lander is called the Athena and it's also known

832
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: as I Am Dash two. That's Intuitive Machines too. Pretty

833
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: cool stuff, guys, and there are more to come just

834
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 2: like this. There's another company called Eye Space that is

835
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: going to be having another launch in May or early

836
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 2: June to get up there and study things. The cool

837
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 2: thing about Athena, I believe, and I may be getting

838
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 2: this confused with Eye Space because I've read too much

839
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 2: about these three together. I think the one from Intuitive

840
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: Machines is going to be studying water content on the Moon.

841
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: It has it has a bunch of different sensors to

842
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: study water. Super cool, and you know that's what the

843
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: commerce stuff is all about, right, that water, the helium three,

844
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 2: all of the various resources that can be extracted from

845
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: the Moon and resources that can be used to build

846
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: on the Moon.

847
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: Right. Because it's a question we asked in a previous episode,

848
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 3: is there any economic viability to transporting resources back to

849
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,760
Speaker 3: Tara or Earth. Yeah, or is the is the real

850
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: opportunity for investment in leveraging materials on the lunar surface

851
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 3: or on the Moon overall such that you can construct

852
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 3: bulwarks or beachheads toward further exploration of the Solar system.

853
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 3: And I think the ladder is where this smart money

854
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 3: is right now. Because water is just so heavy. Why

855
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 3: would you fly water back?

856
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 2: But you could use that water to feed everybody.

857
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying you for again, the ladder part.

858
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 3: You want to not have to move water right or

859
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 3: to move it as uh as little as possible. So

860
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 3: if you can find potable water on the Moon, you

861
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 3: have saved so much time, sweat and energy, because otherwise,

862
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: you know, it's one of the heaviest things you have

863
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 3: to launch with astronauts currently yep.

864
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 2: And eventually you just turn that water into p via

865
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 2: a human and then you turn that peed back into

866
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 2: water on the lunar base.

867
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 4: Can't pee in a mister coffee and get out tasters choice.

868
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys. Have you have you seen the new mister

869
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 3: coffee machines? Though it's just straight up peak y'all?

870
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 4: In Qatar where Ben and I were for ridiculous history.

871
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 4: Shenanigan's the coffee machines there are not mister coffee, y'all,

872
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 4: they're doctor Coffee.

873
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got the degree.

874
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 2: Nice, nice. Just back to the moon, guys. Remember these

875
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 2: are the unmanned missions by private companies happening right now

876
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 2: this year. The next phase are going to be manned

877
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: missions back to the Moon to really pursue some of

878
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 2: the stuff based on the findings that these unmanned missions

879
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: have discovered, so pretty crazy stuff. Let's jump to the

880
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: X thirty seven B that we talked about just for

881
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 2: a moment. There, the X thirty seven B, the unmanned

882
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 2: tiny little space shuttle. It gets launched up into orbit

883
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 2: and then stays there for over a year, as we

884
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 2: talked about last time, hundreds and hundred of days, just

885
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 2: doing its own thing.

886
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,320
Speaker 3: With a really secret little pickup bed.

887
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah essentially, Yeah, a Toyota Tacoma sized payload who knows

888
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,880
Speaker 2: what it's doing, and it can do all kinds of

889
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 2: very interesting maneuvers that the United States Space Force calls aerobraking,

890
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: where it can change its orbit using minimal fuel, and

891
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 2: it can probably do a lot more things than that,

892
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: but they're willing to talk about that on X at

893
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 2: least the Space Force which is at Space Force DoD

894
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 2: by the way, if you want to follow. They shared

895
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 2: a photograph taken from the X thirty seven B while

896
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 2: it is in orbit, and it is a photograph of

897
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: Earth and you can see I guess what is the

898
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:49,000
Speaker 2: underside of the X thirty seven B and a solar

899
00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: panel there. But it is the first time I think

900
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 2: I've ever seen something from the X thirty seven B

901
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 2: while in orbit. Can you guys recall anything else. That's

902
00:51:58,719 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 2: the first time I've seen it.

903
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 3: This is the first public visual content released regarding that.

904
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 3: Now we know in our previous episodes like Space Ghost

905
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 3: Return of X thirty seven B and our other episode

906
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 3: few years before, we know that there's quite a lot

907
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 3: of observation about its path, its orbit, and its changes

908
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 3: in orbit. But if you go to if you are

909
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 3: looking now for clear footage from the perspective of X

910
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 3: thirty seven B, as you were pointing out, Matt, this

911
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 3: is the only source. You can also see a bunch

912
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 3: of pictures of X thirty seven B on the ground.

913
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 3: There are some there are some boffins who have managed

914
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 3: to take pictures of it on its flight path, but

915
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 3: they're very they're very not great pictures, just being.

916
00:52:53,680 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 2: Honest, heard heard, well, Earth looks just tiny, so precious.

917
00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: I like the color scheme though, That's what I would say.

918
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 3: If we're flying into the Solar System, I'd be like,

919
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 3: oh nice, look at that kind of blue one.

920
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has an atmosphere, you can tell by all

921
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 2: the white cloudy.

922
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 3: Bits, right right? Do we know the future of X

923
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 3: thirty seven B here though, Matt, this has been a

924
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,399
Speaker 3: fascination of ours for quite some time now.

925
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 2: I am not up on my X thirty seven B, C, D, E, F,

926
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: or G knowledge. Right now?

927
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 5: What do they call this? Wasn't the plane an X Men?

928
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 5: The X wing?

929
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, okay, I wonder if it's I don't know,

930
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:43,920
Speaker 4: never mind, sorry, no, no.

931
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 3: No, you're right, you're right. The uh we're not going

932
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,319
Speaker 3: to pull the nerd card on this yet, but you

933
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 3: are right. The X wing for the X Men, and

934
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:56,319
