Tom and Brett's Garage Cleaning Adventure
00:09:27
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Tom, what did you do? I cleaned my garage um with the help of Brett. And didn't provide beer. There was beer in the fridge. There's beer two feet. There's there's plenty of beer there.
00:09:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
There's names for people. like We didn't even think about it. Neither one of us. um but yeah we got a dumpster and uh filled it up and uh it was from a company i hadn't heard of oh funky junk oh i thought no it's kume kume oh kume okay got it kume kume dumpsters funky dumpsters um We always use them because they're the best in town. Anyhow, um that's a whole different story. But, yeah, so we got we filled it up. and we We got rid of old furniture. you fill that thing? ah Pretty close by the time it was all done, yeah, because we cleaned out the –
00:10:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um I told you a few weeks ago, one of our projects this spring was to get the master closet cleaned out, done. Nice. um Garages mostly cleaned out. my ah My ceiling racks show up Friday, so I'll get those hung and get it 100% completed. Nice racks, Tom. We're making nice progress in the spring cleaning over at ah over at the ranch, so it's it's coming along.
00:10:36
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So the weird thing about about the cum dumpsters, they they actually arrive full. Yeah. So... Yeah. Just be prepared. Just be prepared. You got to squirt them out little bit. You got to pull that little plug by the taint to drain it, I think. Squirt them out a little bit. Usually painted blue, too, aren't they?
00:10:53
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Tommy, what's your rule for how long? Are we ready for joking? It sounds like we already got it. Yes. How long do you keep shit before you throw it away? What's your rule of thumb? Here's what's funny. We've been in this house now um for ah five five years.
00:11:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And every year we have gotten a dumpster. Mm-hmm. And all various varying sizes. Sure. This was probably the biggest one we've ever gotten. Big balls. but every year I would say, I'm not throwing that away.
00:11:21
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
No, we're going to keep that. no I'll use that sometime. and Even while we were doing it. yeah We went through that couple times. The bowling balls. I've had these bowling balls for forever. and they're They're probably pricey, right? Bowling balls are now there. Those those three... Are they $100 a go?
00:11:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Closer to two each. Okay, so you threw $600 in the QM. When they were new, yes. you get you yeah So between the balls and the bag, the shoes weren't in there. The shoes were in my closet, but...
00:11:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Is that the song? Get you on the dance floor? Yes. To the window. To the balls. To the bag. To the bag. So, I there was some stuff that I've been holding on to because I didn't want to get rid of it, but I was like, fuck it. I'm sick of moving it around. don't use them anymore.
00:12:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's a hassle to get rid of them because they're drilled specifically for my hand. he But you can plug them and read stats, though. He's like, this is a 10-degree pitch on the something. It's a 10-degree pitch on my thumb. Did I get that right?
00:12:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. Oh, wow. And once you use them so many times, two of them were zones, yeah um and one was – I what the name is. Look at you. but it's ah It's another Brunswick ball. Walter Ray Williams. No, it's the purple one.
00:12:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Fuck, I can't remember the name of it. was trying to figure out. like So, but they get that, they get your groove on the ball. So much use and everything else. It's just. When's the last time you got your groove on that ball? That's just it. That ball's been in there. Yeah, I haven't thrown those balls in several several years. So now they're gone and i don't have to think about it anymore. One last question, Tom. I'm sure there is, Jeff. Okay, Jeff.
00:12:56
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Why would one throw away bowling balls, bags, and everything else and keep bowling shoes? Well, because if I go bowling, I got to wear my shoes. Hang on. Oh, okay. Where were the bowling shoes? and They're in the closet in the house.
00:13:06
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, okay. I should know if he wrote if you wore them up to the club at random Saturday night. No, those are no specific shoes specifically I bought for me. Okay. think with light-up shoes now in play, you can wear them whenever you want. And honestly, those shoes, I paid more for those shoes than any pair of shoes that I wear on the daily. So I'll tell you.
00:13:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
my My obsession with bowling at one time was as as big as anybody that plays golf or anything else. I used to bowl yeah three, four nights a week. yeah And it was, yeah.
00:13:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
My suggestion, if you're cleaning stuff out, you need somebody like me, yeah sort of an arbitrator to go. Throw it. the Last time you used this? Oh, FDR was president? Yeah, it could go. It's time to go. It's time to go. And honestly, if I would have bought a new toolbox, my toolbox would have gone too because it's old and nasty. We Tetris some shit together and created some space. Oh, we created a lot of space. He also could get one car in the garage now.
00:14:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, that's big. Definitely could. That's big. that's big Yeah. And the kid came home today and she's like, why did you clean the garage? Are you planning on putting cars in there? And I'm like, what? No, I just sick of tripping over all the shit. That's why I cleaned the garage.
00:14:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Well, of the four of us, ah Jeff parks in his garage. yep Two cars. Same. yeah You guys don't? Nope. No, no. we have three We have three spots. Well, actually, there's a van.

00:21:58
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
At the Olympics. Because it says true for facts that sound like bullshit. Bam! at you with the deduction. Winner, winner. Okay, I'm going to test your theory then.
00:22:11
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Just picked another random one. True or false. Over 10,000 hot air balloons participate in the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival each year. ah which Have you ever seen pictures that thing? Yeah, that's crazy. want to go there. That'd be cool. So true or false, over 10,000 hot air balloons.
00:22:29
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
This is one of those stupid things. It's probably false. There's 9,986. Tom wrote it. Tom should know this answer. Tom wrote this question. Well, you know, actually.
00:22:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i so i i knew it was coming. I was like, did you hear me? Did you hear me? Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you.
00:22:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Okay, so true or false? ah Over 10,000 hot air balloons participants. I didn't read the answer yet. so I'm assuming true. Again, the book is called. But we are close to Tom-isms here. False. Albuquerque does host a hot air balloon festival, but...
00:23:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
participation is usually around 500 balloons that's a dick that's a dick question ah why why didn you deal with housing yeah a thousand exactly yeah they need to rename the book to true or false true as true whatever ah that book sucks you got to open that up oh oh good luck with that because it's cellophane wrapped don't know they do it says stainless steel tumbler yeah but there's something on it yeah there from the kume dumpsters maybe if it's pre-seasoned am i about my cupcake i will later yeah i'm yeah maybe cupcake and beer just i keep i know i keep worrying about sticking my arm in it it's like blue jeans goes with everything yeah that's that's yeah i agree just saying you're not wrong all right sorry not not good at this it's okay no that's fine so it's part of the fun it's part of the fun

00:28:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Basketball happened. Yeah, the Final Four happened. So um big surprise on Saturday, um I think. Big effing meltdown. Yeah, so yeah here's what's here's what was crazy. Going into Saturday – um The Florida-Auburn game for the guys in my bracket was the most important game.
00:29:11
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
The guy in first place um had Auburn beating Florida, and he needed that to happen, and then Duke to win and Duke to win out.
00:29:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um The guy in second place, ah me, needed Florida to win and then Duke to win out. the guy in third place that nobody was taking seriously at all picked houston to win the fucking tournament uh-huh so mr first and mr second didn't work out that way i ended up in second he ended up in third yep so and mr houston who was in third going into the weekend how many people were in it roughly 10 oh okay yeah so i know eight eight there are eight so um I don't think we were the only ones surprised because what did I see that like 12% of the people picked Houston to win out in the first place. So I think the, the upset and actually Saturday,
00:30:07
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I was like, I'm not even watching this new game. i' man They're going to win. yeah yeah I thought they were going destroy it. Yeah. And yeah so I was watching other stuff, and then I'd look at the score every once in a while. They kind of did. It was thought it was it was a minute and a half left, and they were up, what, eight? Seven, eight or eight. Yeah, seven, eight points. And then. Yep.
00:30:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Then I saw the final, i was like, what in the actual fight? I guess I should have watched that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So so the the stat that rang out to me is Duke scored one field goal in the last, like, ten and a half minutes of the game. yeah Oh, wow.
00:30:40
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Over ten minutes, one field goal. They scored a bunch of free throws. Right. but And the field goal was a three-pointer by Cooper Flagg. Right. But, I mean, that's literally what did them in. And then Houston's defense was just – freaking amazing down towards the end. Right. Duke generally, i mean, I've, I mean, i watched almost every Duke game or at least part of it for this year's tournament.
00:31:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Their defense really good. They just looked super tired and Houston is just like, okay, we got nothing to work with. We're going to run you. And they did. mean, they literally, and what's his face? Calvin Sampson. I mean, he said, he's like, this piece of shit. Now every, I agreed, but every, every coach said this, well, they just don't give up. Okay. Yeah. When you win, that's easy to say. Right. Right. But they really didn't. I mean, they really just were like, what do we got to lose?
Houston's Basketball Triumph Over Duke
00:31:29
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Let's just keep playing defense.
00:31:30
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It just felt like they kind of finally broke them. took us minutes to finally break you. yeah but once they broke, quick. Fairly confident is a minute 30 or 40. it's 67, 61. They're still ah six or seven points at that point. And you're like, it's Duke. They're not going to lose this game. With with the ball, yeah by the way. right So you're inside 90 seconds plus six with the ball.
00:31:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yep. and And you're Duke University. yeah Yeah, exactly. I don't i don't like Duke. So that was a whatever. yeah No, I get it. But, man, don't know how you lose that. Oh, yeah. and say That's incredible.
00:32:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
that that is yeah And Krzyzewski's in the crowd watching. They didn't show him afterwards, but thought he was probably ready to go down on the floor and be like, yeah I want my job back. on I am on retirement. You missed me yet? I'm back. I'm back. Hey, John Shire, move over.
00:32:34
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So you're now the assistant. So Houston, first, first up. Was it their first ever? Yeah, they were in another one that was their first ever. Houston didn't. Oh, they didn't win. They didn't win. I know, but first ever final four. No, second or third. Second or third. It their seventh final four. Five slam a jam.
00:32:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Five slam a jam. I believe it was their second. Right. In the North Carolina State game. The King knows the Wittenberg. yeah miracle at the end. oh yeah yeah like Houston had that game won. They just quit playing defense for four seconds. Pretty much. so yeah so Florida, the national champion.
00:33:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
yeah Congratulations. Whatever. so I felt super bad in the championship game for the dude, Emanuel Sharp. That was his name. yes The last two trips down the floor yep that Houston had the ball.
00:33:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
ah One, he was dribbling. now somebody out that Good defensive play. yeah Hit the ball and it hit hits his leg and goes out bounds. Right. Okay. Whatever. So then the final trip, they had like, they dicked around for like 16. There was a lot. They like 16. Yeah. That second half was painful in the beginning. But the very last possession that they had, Sharp went up for a three-point shot. He was open when he jumped. Yeah.
00:33:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and what it walter clayton ran out there put a hand his face and so then sharp was like well shit like i'm gonna get this blocked if i shoot it hell of a defensive play he literally just dropped the ball which is what he kind of had to do it was gonna get blocked and now he can't touch it because if he touches it it's it's traveling on him or double yeah and so he had to wait for another teammate to get it well they couldn't get there in time One of the more bizarre endings to a game. Yeah, without a doubt. It was weird.
00:34:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. but i mean but good Because time sort of froze for that two to three to four seconds while that played out when the the kid knew he couldn't do anything. Wasn't Florida down 12? Yep. yeah down They were down 12. Fourth largest comeback. They were down 12 going into the second half. Yeah. Okay.
00:34:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Because this when the set I turned it on. i didn't watch first half of the game at all. Turned it on the second half. I got there right as the halftime show wrapped up. And I was like, Jesus, you know, and so then I want and I'm like, is anybody going to score a basket? Yeah, no shit. Because it was like 36 to 37 or some bullshit. I don't know. It was crazy. And I was like, it just kept going and going. and Nobody could hit shit.
00:34:58
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. And congratulations to the Florida coaching staff. They obviously scouted that last play that that that Houston ran. For sure. Because for him to run out on that ball like that, I mean, that was, yeah. yeah That's good coaching. It was good. It was interesting. Yeah, the the Final Four was one of the most exciting Final Fours, as dull the rest of the games allegedly were.
00:35:21
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
but I watched really very little of it. I had it on while I was painting and kind of heard some stuff going on. Right. ah My sports weekend was more consumed with Ovechkin.
00:35:33
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I knew he was playing. My daughter's huge into hockey and ah kind of see that play out. Yeah. hey probably a once-in-a-lifetime-ish, although this is now twice in our lifetime that's happened. But it just to get to get to that level doesn't happen that much. And in the the the difference for me was a much more of a – us type thing but like after they stop at ceremony everybody's cool whatever he sits down on the bench and points at the two guys that were credited for assists on the goal he's like we're part of history yeah yeah it's not like right i'm part of his yeah he's like
00:36:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
We did it. yeah I'm like, don't know, man. Did he also point out to the opposing goalie? Yeah. Hey, man. Did you see that? No, I didn't. So I honestly completely forgot about it. They had a pretty nice embrace, actually. It was cool. You texted about how how cool Gretzky was as ah as a person, and I was like, oh, shit.
00:36:40
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yes, that's right. So then I flipped over and started watching after that. Yeah, him and the goal had nice little. Oh, did they? Yeah. It kind of a is like, yeah, I know I. I F'd you there, right? You're you're ah a footnote in history. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what, after they the Capitals won Stanley Cup, what, five, six years ago, somewhere around there? Yep.
00:37:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
They said that Ovechkin went on like a three-week bender. Really? With the Stanley Cup, a bender, for three weeks. They said he drank for like three weeks' drink. I think he is the, I think he parties a lot. Yes.
00:37:16
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Imagine how hard he partied. What was that, Sunday night? Sunday night? Well, so Sunday in the locker room, he's drinking a Coors Light right there the locker room. Oh, yeah. There we go. What a boy. Ovi, you couldn't find any vodka there? What the hell? You got to go with Coors Light?
00:37:32
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I know there's some stories out on the internet about what people have done with the Stanley Cup because the winning team, they each get it for a day. That'd be the best. It's found at the bottom of the pool and shit like that. But I bet there are some stories that haven't gotten out what has happened to that day. People drink out of it. People have their babies. Babies. They put their babies in it. Eating dinner out of it.
00:37:58
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Crazy. Pretty cool stuff. anyway Awesome. Yeah, good for him. All right, so the other big news. Let's get to it, Michigan Tech. they ah I didn't believe you.
00:38:09
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, yeah. we do So we we texted about this. No, when you said it, though, the article I had sent originally didn't say that, but I'm glad you told me that it was a Time article because I went back and read that article as well.
Cloning Dire Wolves: Scientific Implications
00:38:22
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So this week, um it was in the news. It's been going on for months. But scientists have... um essentially cloned a dire wolf. Now, why does that matter? Well, dire wolves have been extinct for 10,000 years.
00:38:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So they cloned, actually, there's three of them. Two of them are now six months old. One of them is now two months old. They're keeping them on a preserve in Texas.
00:38:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
In Kentucky because they're breed them together and in the same family. No, they're in Texas. um No? So, so, they're They're keeping them away from the general population, but I got to reading and an inordinate amount. They that in prisons as well. i got I got to reading an inordinate amount about this, and this company has been doing this for a while, um working on actually cloning a woolly mammoth is what what they're trying to accomplish. Now, they've gotten as far as a woolly mouse, um which actually looked like a...
00:39:22
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's a start. It looked like your pet hamster gerbil. yeah Yeah. I don't know. What's the texture? Harry. You have the tusks? Looks like a guinea. No, no. But it had it had hair it had hair like a guinea pig and and a tail like a rat.
00:39:35
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
um You know what gerbils look like, though, right? That's what I said. Going in, he doesn't. oh Fuck. You guys talk about I'll just sit here.
00:39:46
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Hey, we got time to stop talking. That's all it took? Stop. Now you're being me. No, I'm just trying to i'm trying to explain what we're going to talk about, and I can't fucking get it out of my mouth. So what's the point? world go Welcome to my world.
00:40:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
This happens to me all the fucking time. All the time. So what happened
00:40:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
is there's a ah company, there's about 130 scientists working for them. That's a lot. that clone work on cloning, bringing back, and and they brought back from fossils of 10,000 years ago and created these ah Romulus and Remus, which is – that's mythology, by the way. I don't know anything about Oh, shit.
00:40:36
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Oh, we're all falling apart. Oh, shit. Must be old age. what's What's the group? It's 56 plus. We're down. It's all downhill. um But I think that that was a topic we want discuss. It's a good thing.
00:40:51
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. Bad thing. Correct. yeah Science can be used for both good and evil. yeah So hopefully we don't see the evil side this, this group though, uh, in tens like, Hey, here, here's why this is a good thing.
00:41:06
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So the dire wolf, i had to read about this as well. I didn't know. was like apex predator from back in the day. Badass. But wolves are kind of cool in general. So you try to pet them, I think. And then shit gets real. Don't get too close. But like, if you're like, yeah, that's my pet hanging out in the backyard. You'd be like, yeah, cool.
00:41:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It looks cool. Um, But as they try to ah like reintroduce the the science side, it's like we're doing this for good because it can help – like in that article, ah we can help elephants survive climate change and adapt and whatever it is like.
00:41:49
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I don't know I think that was a topic where are we at with science interfering with nature with mother nature or or vice versa mm-hmm isn't that what natural selection is all about well and that's why things go extinct I mean and all realityy there's there is a reason I mean you can say it's because people hunt it over hunted something or did this or did that for this reason or that reason but at the end of the day that's That's part of the evolution i mean of of animals. And they're discovering new species in various places, both in the sea and on the land, on a regular basis.
00:42:25
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So those things are going to evolve as well. So my confusion is, why do we need to bring back something that's been extinct for 10,000 years now? I mean, just to say that you can. one of this One of the things that they talked about was that they're also trying to bring back like the dodo bird. Okay.
00:42:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
so that wasn't that long ago that wasn't 10 that wasn't a 10 000 year event but at the same time i don't i is yeah maybe a couple hundred at the most and the the thing is is that some of those might make sense but most of them if you're going why do you need a woolly mammoth because in order to make because the well but to makely beaver Well, but to make these animals, you have to have a surrogate.
00:43:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So that means something has to give birth to it. Yep. You are trying to bring back an elephant that is bigger than any known elephant yeah on the planet Earth today. Good luck sticking that up. Yeah. What the fuck's giving birth to it? yeah And that's what they said is that typically the surrogate.
00:43:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
dies in that process because in and for the dire various reasons it was a dog yeah yeah they use the dog i think that's why epidurals were invented though right well maybe okay uh i don't know i think you can take away pain but i don't know if you can take away death i don't know if their insurance covers the epi so does my ha cover this But yeah, so so I think, but the thing that I kept playing over my head, and this happens all, this is happening right now with AI.
00:44:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's happening with this. It is amazing to me how many of these things are things that have been topics in Hollywood for years.
Science Fiction Concepts Becoming Reality
00:44:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
a long time before they come the mainstream here coming real yeah and that to me that's that's the wacky part that that is weird that's the part that is very difficult for me to get my head around because the whole ai thing has been in movies for while shit 20 30 years and now it's starting to become part of our reality and And, I mean, I know I said Jurassic Park, and that's probably an extreme because I don't think we're going to bring back any big Not really. Well, I know, but we're not bringing back big giant dinosaurs. At least that's not the plan right now. Yet.
00:44:44
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yet. Yet. And I think. Jeff Goldblum didn't think so either. Exactly. but and So, at the end of the day, there's good jeff there's a fine line between.
00:44:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
helping a species survive and bringing back something that's not needed, you know, and, and just to say you did it. And I get the whole science thing and the whole conservation thing and all of that. But I think there's a lot of things that,
00:45:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
just aren't meant to be fucked with. yeah maybe Maybe the dire wolf is one dumb a fucking animal that deserved to be extinct. Why are we bringing the dumb animals back? Well... From from everything they said, it isn't.
00:45:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's actually... How does anybody know nobody was fucking around 10,000 years ago? But it went extinct. It did go extinct. So... the the thing The thing about the dinosaurs, though, I've actually seen documentaries that they have found ah bunch of dinosaur bones and, like, frozen tundra and stuff like that.
00:45:42
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Well, they have to have – Lambeau Field? They have enough of the DNA sequencing, and they have they have some, but they don't have enough to put together a full DNA sequence of the dinosaurs. Yes, or fill in the blanks. That probably won't be long. I don't think they can. I think they graph other animals' DNA into it, and you end up with some kind of hybrid. And I'm not sure about the dire wolf thing, because i didn't I didn't read up on it. I know you said that thing, but I didn't do any research on it before.
00:46:10
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Now. Interesting. But... So I'm wondering where the hell they got the DNA from that thing. Yeah. Because according to the dinosaur people in the documentaries that I have seen, they're like, okay, every bone we get has a little bit of DNA, just a tiny bit from millions of years ago. going to say this is very similar. There there is a like an 80% DNA-ish match here, but they had to fill in the other 20% other dog-like animals.
00:46:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
from other ah dog-like animals yeah So maybe they had enough because the dinosaur wands were like, we we just don't have enough DNA. They said in one of the articles, they said that there was an abundance of dire wolf DNA. Oh, OK. Now, I don't know why they didn't go into that or, you know, so the significance of that. Actually, they they did. They so said it was off Bill Clinton's. Yeah. yeah armonica lewisz who s ah to his dress and Yeah. But they said, for whatever reason, there is an abundance of. di sad in there I was wondering. And that's why it's a dire. wo If they had it, that's why that was the focus. And I think that's the same thing with the mammoth thing is that they've got enough that they're almost there.
00:47:19
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's why they did the mouse. Gotcha. um And made the woolly mouse because they knew they could do that. And apparently just that's right it's just it's it's about supplying them and and how it was preserved. So they made the comment that if they recover stuff out of the La Brea tar pits, they can't use it because it destroys all the DNA. Oh, the tarar tar. yeah the The heat from the tar and everything else it destroys it. So wherever they got this, there was an ah there was abundance of that for them to do. Which is why the dinosaur thing is interesting because it's been frozen for that many years. And they're like, that's a good thing because it it's only preserved DNA. correct and And yeah, like like we said...
00:48:00
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
If they bring back the woolly beaver, I'm not going tonna be a happy camper. I'm just saying. You're going to a big son of a bitch. that, thatt fact that, wasn't too far back they also need to ah bring back the woolly razor.
00:48:14
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
You got to do those things. So I first heard about this. I think it was home renovation this weekend. and Current wife brings it up.
00:48:27
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And so one one of the people on this project, like a key person is a Michigan Tech person, which is where the big cat goes to school. Yep. And she she was involved because they're working on a project. She's not hard. To save the red wolf.
00:48:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's not true. Which is in South Carolina. So. Hmm. I saw her picture on the internet. I'm i'm um ah all about working with and saving what's here. Correct. and that's i she's That's why she's involved because she has a company that does something along those lines as well. It's like wildlife conservation. yeah I'm fine with that.
00:49:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
All about that. right Save the bald eagle. Screw the geese. No longer endangered. Tear up ta those sumbitches up north. Get them out. yeah But... ah As current wife tells me this, I'm like, I'm not really sure that that's a good thing. And and at that point, I knew two sentences of the story. Sure. Right. It can be used for good or or evil. Just like anything. Right? Money comes into play at some point. It does. And there's somebody that will use enough money or spend enough money to use it for the wrong thing. Yep. Well, I mean.
00:49:39
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
At one point, at what point does it not change – the genetics of my baby that I'm getting ready to have telling you to go, yep okay, he's projecting to be ah a 5'4 kid, probably not a first-round NBA draft pick. You're like, okay, just just t tweetak tweak one or two of these things, make him six, two. is a dangerous thing, man.
CRISPR Technology and Ethical Considerations
00:50:04
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
i'm telling this and and you know we dangerous thing man it came from the food industry. because they were trying to find out a way i think it came from yogurts because they have bacteria in yogurts and so it's a living organism and so it has dna right and so it started out in the food industry give me a second here jeff what beer do you want carl's i didn't want to drink lord i tried like four different i know i didn't i didn't want drink your beer but i if and you looked offended you looked No, this is important stuff. This is important stuff. It is very important. Carlsberg's a great— So Carlsberg, Jeff, right? Yes, Carlsberg. Jeff wants Carlsberg. Okay, we got Brett Carlsberg. Did you hear that?
00:50:41
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Got it. Thank you. Okay, we good? I don't know if I get bartended for another year. Hang on. Can we get back to yogurt? No, I got to hand it from Brett over to Jeff. Thank you. Now can we get back to yogurt? Ooh, that's very cold.
00:50:51

Oh, it is. Oh, good. It's a cold blood Oh, good. You there's a lot of bacteria in beer, too. There is. And I'm telling you, there's a lot of legs DNA in that beer. and So ah if if you've never heard of it, look look this up. It's called CRISPR.
00:51:06
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's C-R-I-S-P-R. It's an acronym that stands for something. I have no flipping clue what it is. I saw a documentary on it. Super interesting because it's not just DNA about animals.
00:51:20
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
it Well, technically, if the human's an animal, if you want to call us that. it it is It is about literally changing DNA sequences that of human beings before they're born.
00:51:31
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
in And the whole idea ah behind it was to... they They got with the food ah food people, and they were like, hey, if you can do this – because they found a way to take the bad bacteria out of yogurt and just put the good stuff in it.
00:51:45
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
And so they're like, well, if you can do that with that, and can you do that with this over here? do that with your own yogurt? Yeah. Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats. that's That was on the tip of my tongue. I just i couldn't get it out. I really did know what it was. I didn't want to be a show-off. The danger here, though, is you're like, hey, yourre your kid's going to be born ah downs or whatever. That's...
00:52:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
that that's the yeah that's the positive good yeah that's the good yes that's the way society works somebody's going to use that too absolutely form a master race yep i mr adolf hitler i'm telling you i just i think i think you get into that it's little research to lift that shit up because it is super interesting you start getting into that play in god stuff it gets and that's the me it gets a little dice that is the whole thing yep that's that But there's there's got to be good for it because it could potentially wipe out some diseases. yeah It could.
00:52:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I mean, you you could like you say, you I mean, sometimes they know when a kid's in the womb, they're like, yeah oh, crap. yeah It's got this disease. And they can wipe that shit out. There's plenty of tests for that now. Yeah. Not for everything, but it's like. Sure.
00:52:57
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
More now than there ever was. Yeah. Yeah. in and know don't know. been a while since we've all been through it but you're like, whew, can I never see the results of this test? Oh, yeah. Because you just don't know because it's just a general test. It's not based on symptoms or anything.
00:53:13
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Right. But so – I brought up the Michigan Tech tie-in because, and Jeff, I'm kind of pissed at you that this has not come
Michigan Tech and Dire Wolves Project
00:53:23
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
up tonight. He took your Carlsberg. He said, thank you. It's cold. He said, no, this is a green beer. I'm taking my next Carlsberg. There's no making him happy on his birthday. Where's Mary? There's lot truth in that. Where's Mary? It's still not going to happen.
00:53:38
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I'm spending a decent amount of money for my son to go to the hospital. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. Did you reach out to her to see if she'd be on the show and say, hey, I'm a donor. Reaching out. Her?
00:53:50
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah, the doctor. Oh, i don't I've donored to her before. Yeah. Some DNA for the project. She wears glasses so it didn't get in her eyes. It's fine.
00:54:02
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's wrong. That's so wrong. Hopefully she's not listening to this podcast. Now she'll never be on the show. so This is the whole thing. Great, Brett. Good job. Good job, Brett. Just like all the shit were talking about before, there's good things to do and there's bad things to do. And what did we just do? We took a good thing and just fucked it all up. No, no, no. He's going to bring it around. I'm spinning this posse. He's bringing it around. He's bringing it around. Full circle.
00:54:28
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Paying a decent amount of money for my son to go to Michigan Tech. Yep. Love it. He's having a good time. Yep. He'll be home here before long. He will be home here before long. I am pissed he's not on this project. Because one, actually think he's smart enough.
00:54:43
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Right. But two, if he's on the board, he would advocate to bring back... God's all right.
00:54:55
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
That's the guy we need back. Absolutely we do. We need him stomping on cities and beating the shit out of King Kong and the serpent. You got to bring King Kong back also. Yeah, that's coming.
00:55:07
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
The woolly monkey. Oh, boy. The woolly monkey. What'd I say? The woolly. That's similar to the woolly beaver. but Oh, my Jesus. A different cousin. Oh, my gosh.
00:55:17
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
may i it' not I am very conflicted with it because because of all the things we've talked about. you know I think there's a lot of good that can come from it. Sure. Clearly. But we have found throughout human history. There's no parameters, man. there's but no realels theyre in nobody there There's no checks and balances. And eventually, because right now, those guys in that lab...
00:55:37
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
could have been working on any fucking thing, and nobody's there to stop them from doing something yeah not i am good. Wuhan, maybe? that Just for one example. They have their own pet woolly dog in their backyard. So, I mean, to me, that's the scary part. that under Under that veil of science, and not saying that science is bad, because I don't think it is, but under that veil, research is research, and can...
00:56:05
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and you can You can go too far. You can do things that don't really fall under any kind of regulations or anything else. And then once it's done, the undoing is not all that easy.
00:56:19
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So so um that that's kind of my confliction with it. Even to the point, Tom, where they're talking about curing cancers, you know, finding the the DNA link in there that, you know, okay, I've got, you know throat cancer. Oh, guess what? I can put new blood in and you're going to be relieved of all your cancer. Yep.
00:56:36
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Heart disease. and i yeah We found a cure for that also. You're going to have people living for 100, 100. hundred ten hundred I mean, what what's going to, what's going to, and I hate to, what's going to kill them off?
00:56:48
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I mean, we're age, old age, old age. You'll get your human body. No matter what you got. No matter what. At some point. Right. But when do, when does 90 become 120? Correct.
00:56:59
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Well, we're already living longer than we used to. But that's not, but that's not, but that's not with, I mean, it's better health and all that shit. Better science, but yeah. I kind of recall a South park episode where there was a scientist on top of the hill that was splicing animals together. That shouldn't be spliced together.
00:57:15
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Yeah. That's what this that's what it seems like that's what thats conversation kind of – yes, that's that's what I thought about. There's a great line in that. I'm not going to share it. share Please share it.
00:57:29
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
It's got to be better joke of the week. So that more the South Park kids were up up to – Joke, joke, joke, joke. but so they They were heading up to the scientist's house for whatever reason, and when they get there, scientist opens the door, and and hes he's like, hey, let me stop you, kids.
00:57:47
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Did you see anything odd on the way up here? And on the side of the road, they see all these animals that had has had escaped from the scientist's place. And they said something about, well, saw element an elephant, fucking a pig or something like that.
00:58:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I forget what it was. It was something like that. And he goes, no, I said odd. He was like, that's no big deal. It happens on the day. I do that every day. I'm here science lab. i thought The discussion in a couple of things I saw.
00:58:24
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
very very classic it's it's pro-science anti-science yeah yeah it's like and i i kind of have some the same thing i don't know where i'm at i i mean i think science is great and does a lot of good things but one of the things like great you can bring back this wolf but why can't you cure cancer right like i don't really think that's apples to apples but you can't have an educated conversation because there's some jackass i was going to pull it up and read it we've been we've been running fundraisers for breast cancer for how long now? yeah And all the others. And no matter how much money you throw at it, we can't figure it out. Billions. I don't understand that. don't get it. I'm totally confused by that. get it. do you think pharmaceutical companies might have something to do with that? Maybe just a little bit? Just a little bit? Still make money.
00:59:08
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
But the the arrogance and the... It's just... There's just groups of people that can't converse together. Sure. Billions of dollars going into this research. Literally, this company is a multi-billion dollar company funded by private donors led by two Harvard...
00:59:28
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
and educated probably with some of the brightest people in the world 100 because all the money's there one of them just won the nobel right and that's that's the thing because that's a ton of money until then that dire wolf yeah eats his ass you know you know you know that money money can make people change your thinking slightly yeah slightly yep it'll corrupt you yeah so Anyhow, is it that time?
00:59:53
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Is it that time? Hopefully. Are we done with that? Is it time? It's cupcake time. Is it time? hey I remember my... Show. Show. Show. so you cant talk

A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
on 56 when the female noodle marries the male noodle they realize they have a whole bunch of other female noodles living in the in that same house while you're going with the polygamy thing something to do with soaking by chance Soaking. Soaking noodle. is the second joke of the week that you brought up a soaking noodle.
01:02:12
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Well, they're Mormons out there. They soak. Oh, they're Mormons. Is that a Mormon a Mormon thing? Oh, geez. You know, a scientific. I just got that. The husband wife soaks in it. Somebody shakes the bed. You've never heard that? We have heard that. We've heard it Yes, we've heard it on this podcast.
01:02:27
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
So it's not soaking. does not I don't even remember remember what the was. But at some point in Utah. What do women and noodles?
01:02:39
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
Well, yeah. What do women and noodles have in common? it was women with noodles. My bad. Oh, no. Okay. Because that's something totally different. With noodles is a disease that science needs to cure. In Utah, la what do women and noodles have in common? They both squirm when you eat them.
01:03:03
A Solid 4 Beer Thoughts
I know. Do your noodles squirm, Tom, when you eat them? Oh, they squirm like crazy. Oh, my God. Tom's a big noodle eater. Squirm, squirm, squirm.
