Summary
00:00:00 - This week the Paleopals are joined byĀ Giacomo Bernardi from UCSC. He filmed fish using tools for the very first time, and is happy to tell us all about just why that's so awesome. Make sure to watch the video on our site and experience the glory for yourself!
00:34:04 - Tool use is not just required for cracking clams, but also for cracking open cold ones, even if Patrick is the only one with a beer. Charlie and Ryan bourbon each other while Kelly tries to make due without her usual bartender.
00:40:33 - It's all for one and every Paleopal for themselves with this week's trailer,Ā The ThreeĀ MusketeersĀ in 3D! Will it live up to theĀ 1993 classic?
00:53:49 - Patrick reports on his trip to theĀ annual meeting of the GSAĀ (not Gamers Sitting Around), the Geological Society of America (though some would argue it should be Geologic Society of America). He gave a talk, but you listen to him talk just about every week, so we thought we'd give some other people a chance. He mixed it up in the poster sessions and interviewed a bunch of undergrads and grad students about their research in a range of topics, from the timing of glacial retreat in the Himalaya to the best way to paint rodent teeth. Small warning: audio quality is maybe not all that it could be given that Patrick is waking around a giant concrete floored hall with geologists drinking and talking in the background.
01:36:43 - PaleoPOWs are lot like poster sessions. Crowded, loud, and full of lingering doubts. Patrick has aĀ website comment from HannahĀ concerning last week's Kraken discussion. Kelly has an e-mail from John about catching up on the show and collective nouns for mascots. Ryan has a tweet fromĀ @DocBucketsĀ about the Podcast Awards (still some time left to vote!) concerning conflicting podcast interests. And Charlie has a voicemail from theĀ PangsterĀ who still can't tell the difference between Charlie and Patrick.
Charlie is going to be onĀ The Weekly Weinersmith! Ryan did anĀ iFanboyĀ special edition show! We're everyone! But our home is theĀ Brachiolope Media Network, so stop by anytime.
