Summary

00:00:00 – Charlie may not be ready but he's gonna give it his all with the other Paleopals, Patrick and Ryan, on this week's show! Charlie continues his IPA tour in Oregon, Ryan goes off the beaten path to gin-town also from Oregon, and Patrick finds joy in something he usually detests.

00:04:43 – Bugs always get bigger when there's more oxygen, except when they don't. Patrick spearheads two stories with seemingly contradictory results.

00:20:07 – Trailer Trash Talk is high minded this week talking about Skyline, the new alien thriller. Disclaimer: This isn't about Skyline chili which Ryan loves and hopes they make a movie about.

00:33:50 – An e-mail from Wendy serves as Ryan's PaleoPOW but also sparks off a discussion about disappearing bees and biased researched. The business of bees is a biased thing indeed.

00:56:30 – With only two PaleoPOWs remaining Patrick presents an awesome addition to the Brachiolope gallery from Chris Huston, and a Charlie digs up a Zune review from Otis25668.

0:39.1	one-half bug and one-half bias, the paleo pals Patrick.
0:44.3	Hi, guys. And Charlie.
0:47.1	Hey, you guys. So as Charlie Riley pointed out before we started recording, bugs and bias are two
0:52.6	things that scientists are quite familiar
0:55.0	with because they can plague us in our studies, even if they are the things that we are actually
0:59.8	studying in and of themselves. And one way we help deal with the stress of all those bugs and
1:03.9	biases is by occasionally coming home and having a proper drink. So on that note, I will ask the
1:09.5	question to the paleo pals. What are you drinking?
