Summary
00:00:00 - Julia Saltz joins the Paleopals Ryan, Patrick, Charlie and Kelly to finally figure out this genetics nonsense. The first part of the conversation focuses, as much as the show ever focuses, onĀ Hox genes.Ā Listen to find out why they'reĀ consideredĀ the dinosaurs of genetics.
00:24:17 - Rotten fruit isn't all bad. Sometimes Patrick drinks it, even if he admits that it sucks at first. Charlie has anĀ Imperial IPAĀ he wouldn't hesitate to hand to Patrick, which is saying something. Kelly keeps it practical and working class. And Ryan, per usual, keeps it weird, but with the help of Jesse Grove (who just finished his first year of law school, congrats!).
00:29:41 - Being chosen is a wonderful thing. Just askĀ Hal Jordan. Or ask the Paleopals what they thought of his trailer since they've chosenĀ Green LanternĀ for this week's Trailer Trash Talk!
00:42:00 - Julia reappears to talk with us aboutĀ how Fruit Flies fly, which is apparently like swimming.Ā It's a confusing hodgepodge of genetics, mechanics, physics and evolution. You'd think the Paleopals would have had something intelligent to say. Maybe they did. I can't remember. It's late.
00:55:55 - PaleoPOWs are a lot like Hox genes, no one is quite sure where they came from and they're constantly mutating into different things. Kelly brings us aĀ comment from the websiteĀ about her potential travels to Norway. Charlie reads anĀ iTunesĀ review from SicSemperTryannosaurus (who may or may not be a dinosaur) whose review involves unicorns for some reason. Ryan reads an e-mail sent by Kate from CO about animal welfare in a lab setting based upon our talk of threats to researcher inĀ Episode 77. She suggests the website for theĀ Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care InternationalĀ for those who want to learn more. And Patrick goes internationalĀ with aĀ Facebook comment from Manuel in Mexico.
Thanks for listening! We maintain a blog. You can see if that's true atĀ Paleocave.com

| 0:19.6 | Episode 87, this week's theme is Hawks Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. I am your host Ryan and joining me as always, but in this week in a reduced informational capacity are my partners in crime, the paleo pals. Charlie. |
| 0:34.4 | Hey everybody. Patrick? |
| 0:37.2 | Hello. And the person that everyone liked so much that we had to bring her back. Charles Charlie. Hey, everybody. Patrick. Blue. |

| 0:43.4 | Woo! |
| 0:43.8 | What's up, science lovers? |
| 0:45.4 | Now, Kelly, we told you this time you couldn't come back unless you brought an expert, because |
| 0:50.8 | tonight we're talking about hawks genes and other things, genetic, |
| 0:55.4 | and none of us are quite too keen on the subject. |
| 0:58.7 | Not that we're not keen on the subject, |
| 0:59.8 | we're just not that knowledgeable on the subject. |
| 1:01.5 | So we insisted that if you were going to come back on the show, |
| 1:04.5 | you better bring your A game, |
| 1:05.8 | and like a parasitologist, |
| 1:08.3 | you decided to parasitize the knowledge of someone else and bring them |
