Summary

00:00:00 - Patrick and Ryan obviously agree with Sarah Werning that paleontology is relevant. But can they convince Ben, and, by proxy, the world?

00:20:44 - Drinks are what happen when you realize maybe it wasn't that relevant after all. Patrick tries a Constalker Dark Wheat dropped off by Ryan, who in turn is having some overly sweet Choya-brand Umeshoo (i.e. Japanese plum wine). Ben approves, but himself is having some lemon Pelligrino.

00:26:54 - Matt Damon needs an exosuit to get to the Greek afterline so he can fight Jodie Foster in this week's installment of Trailer Trash Talk all about Neil Blomkamp's Elysium.

00:37:17 - Neutrinos are a thing, but barely. A detector in Antarctica has found a few that we're pretty sure are from outside the solar system. Ben explains, but will he beat the duck?

00:50:16 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like neutrinos, they come in several flavors and are hard to catch. The guys are awed when Ryan reveals a donation from John P. as well as an e-mail about all the good work he's doing helping the people of rural Ghana get better medical care, all while sporting a Science... sort of magnet on his laptop. Maybe more awesome than we can handle. Thanks, John! Ben reads an e-mail about the pronunciation of the letter 'z' from Guy D. but forgets why he's being informed in the first place (Hint: Episode - 171). Patrick presents a new addition to the Brachiolope Media Gallery courtesy of a drawing made by Anothy and posted to DeskSketch. Thanks, Anothy!

Thanks for listening and be sure to check out the Brachiolope Media Network for more great science podcasts!

0:00.0	I was less than 90 seconds behind the first place finisher, so I think with even a very small amount of training, I could win this race next week or the week after.
0:08.2	I didn't realize training happened in like a week's time. I thought that was a longer-term commitment.
0:13.5	You just need a montage, Patrick.
0:15.9	You need a montage.
0:19.6	Oh, God, I would love to have an 80s training montage about me mountain biking.
0:23.5	From science sort of.com, you're listening to Science Sort of.
0:37.4	Welcome to Science Sort of. This is episode 177. I don't understand the cadence that I'm using, but that's okay, because we're here to talk about things that are science, things that are sort of science, and things that wish they were science. My name's Ryan. I'm joined by two other podcasters who are also called Paleo Pals when they're on this show, and one of them is Patrick.
0:55.4	Hey, guys.
0:56.2	I just quickly want to remind everybody that we're ready for our Science Sort of Summer of Love Week 2.

1:15.9	they did listen to you last week. Excellent. So you're winning Patrick. And another guy came and
1:20.9	tried to fight me on Superman and I yelled at him. You sure did. That was the most satisfying comment
1:25.8	I've ever written on it. Weird. It was great. Eben and Sarah. That was the most satisfying comment I've ever written. Weird.
1:28.3	It was great.
