Podcasts about The Box Tops

For those who haven't heard the announcement I posted, songs from this point on will sometimes be split among multiple episodes, so this is the third and final (and very, very long) part of a multi-episode look at the song “Never Learn Not to Love” by the Beach Boys, and the links between Charles Manson and the LA music scene, as well as the life of Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter. Click the full post to read liner notes, links to more information, and a transcript of the episode. Patreon backers also have a ninety-minute bonus episode available, on “The Letter” by the Box Tops and the career of Alex Chilton. I've also started up an email newsletter at https://it-was-ninety-years-ago-today.ghost.io/. I took a temporary break from that while finishing this episode, as it became much, much longer than I expected, but I will be resuming it shortly. Tilt Araiza has assisted invaluably by doing a first-pass edit, and will hopefully be doing so from now on.

In this episode, we sit down with Sara Frasca, an entrepreneur, business coach, and former General Mills leader, to discuss the power of transformation, leadership, and creativity in the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds. Sara shares how her time at a startup reshaped her approach to leadership, giving her the confidence to challenge the status quo and drive innovation upon her return to General Mills. She also reflects on her experience leading the beloved Box Tops for Education program, which highlighted the incredible impact of community-driven initiatives. Now an entrepreneur and business coach, Sara opens up about the lessons she's learned in building and scaling businesses, including the importance of accountability, fostering creativity, and empowering teams. She shares insights on leadership, overcoming the fear of failure, and creating a culture where people thrive. Plus, she previews the upcoming Seven Figure Summit, an event designed to help business owners turn insights into action. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a business leader, or simply looking for inspiration, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways on growth, resilience, and purpose. Takeaways: Stepping outside of established systems and questioning traditional processes can lead to growth and innovation within an organization.Grassroots efforts, particularly those driven by passionate individuals, can create meaningful impact and drive brand loyalty.Success is amplified when leadership empowers teams, communicates clear expectations, and fosters accountability.Organizations thrive when employees feel safe to experiment, take risks, and bring forth new ideas without fear of failure.Business owners should aim to build systems that allow them to step away while maintaining stability and growth.Bringing in outside expertise, whether through coaching, consulting, or new hires, can reveal hidden inefficiencies and provide fresh solutions.Attending events and gaining knowledge is valuable, but creating an actionable plan ensures that new strategies are implemented effectively.

Popstar, Plattenfirmaopfer, Selbstzerstörer, Proto-Punk, Wegbereiter für Bands wie R.E.M. und Pavement. Alex Chilton war all das und noch viel mehr. Musikradio360 folgt ihm in zwei Folgen auf seinem Weg durch den Dschungel des Musikbusiness. Heute geht's um die Box Tops und Big Star.

One of the groups that defined the Motown sound was the Detroit Quartet known as The Four Tops.  The group originally called themselves the Four Aims, but changed the name to avoid confusion with the Ames Brothers.  The group was composed of Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson, Lawrence Payton, and lead singer Levi Stubbs, four boys who met at Pershing High School and would remain in the same lineup as the Four Tops from 1953 through 1997.The quartet signed to Chess Records in 1956, but did not experience success with that label.  In fact they would not find significant success with multiple records including Red Top, Riverside Records, and Columbia Records for the next seven years.  What they would gain is a lot of opportunities to polish their act and stage presence with extensive touring.  Berry Gordy Jr. convinced them to move to Motown in 1963, initially to record jazz standards and sing backup.  At Motown they experienced success in their own right.Reach Out is their fourth studio album, and their biggest selling album.  The Four Tops had multiple hits, primarily through the writing of the Motown team known as Holland-Dozier-Holland.  Reach Out would be their last album with that songwriting team, as Holland-Dozier-Holland left Motown shortly after this album was recorded.  It went to number 11 on the Billboard Top LP's chart.The Four Tops were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, and still perform today, with Duke Fakir as the sole original member.Bruce presents this soulful album in this week's podcast. BernadetteThis song was released in February of 1967 and reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.  It would be the final top 10 hit for the Four Tops in the 1960's.  The song is a plea from the boy to Bernadette to stick with him.  Standing In the Shadows of LoveThis single is a heartbreak song about sleepless nights and soul searching for what went wrong.  It hit number 2 on the soul charts and number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967.  It is a bit of a reworked song, as the Supremes had a B-side in 1963 called "Standing at the Crossroads of Love."Last Train to ClarksvilleReach Out was a mixture of original songs and covers, and this song made famous by the Monkees is one of the covers.  They also included "If I Were a Carpenter," "Walk Away Renee," and "I'm A Believer" on this album. Reach Out I'll Be ThereHere is the signature song of the Four Tops.  It was released in 1966 and spent two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.  It alternates between a minor and major key, giving it a Russian feel in the verse and a gospel feel in the chorus according to Lamont Dozier.  The writers intentionally put Levi Stubbs at the top of his vocal range to make sure there was a hunger and wailing in his voice.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Light My Fire by The DoorsThe Doors appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show was their first and last when they promised to change the lyrics "girl we couldn't get much higher," only to leave them unedited in the live performance. STAFF PICKS:Brown Eyed Girl by Van MorrisonLynch launches the staff picks with this hit single off Morrison's debut album, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The nostalgic lyrics which seem tame today were considered too suggestive for the time and were banned by some radio stations.  However, it remains popular today, and as of 2015 was the most downloaded and played song of the entire 60's decade.The Letter  by The Box TopsRob features a short song with a blue-eyed soul feel.  The Box Tops took this song to number 1 on the charts, making it The Box Tops best seller.  Joe Coker would cover this in 1970, and take it to number 7 on the charts.  The producer overdubbed the song with an airplane sound he located at a local library.Testify by ParliamentWayne brings us an early hit from George Clinton and Parliament before their Funkadelic days.  Actually, George Clinton is the only member of Parliament who is recorded on this song.  The group was based in New Jersey and the other members were not able to travel to Detroit for the recording.  As a result, Clinton is joined by local session musicians and singers to complete the song.Funky Broadway by Wilson PickettBruce closes out the staff picks with a song that Pickett picked up from Arlester “Dyke” Christian.  Dyke Christian was living in Phoenix and playing with a group called Dyke & the Blazers.  Unfortunatley in 1971 Dyke Christian was shot to death at the age of 27.  This is the first charting single with the word "funk" in the title. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Groovin' by Booker T. & the M.G.'sWe finish off with an instrumental cover of the ballad made famous by The Rascals.

Recording From '75 Found In Closet, Record Company Releases As A Single#newmusic #thelimits #boxtops #hermanshermits #ricklevy #flowerpower #60smusic #theletter #rachel #record #musician #guitarist Luxury Records (distributed by Cleopatra Records) is very pleased and proud to announce the release of perhaps the most special and significant song from THE LIMITS called “Rachel.” Perennial popmeisters, THE LIMITS have gained a worldwide cult following with their original songs filled with brilliant hooks, jangle guitars, and clean tight production.Written in 1975 by Limits leader RICK LEVY, “Rachel” is the true story of the loss of a baby girl at birth by Rick and his then wife. The song was long forgotten until Limits co-founder Rook Jones, found some demo singles, and sent them to Levy. After sending to Cleopatra Records (the Limits label), President Brian Perera immediately asked to release the song because of how hauntingly beautiful and powerful it is. Cleopatra will also feature Rachel on their Tracks of the Week promotions.RICK LEVY is currently manager, guitarist/vocalist with Memphis Music Hall of Fame artists THE BOX TOPS. He has also been bandleader/tour manager for Tommy Roe, Hermans Hermits starring Peter Noone, Jay & the Techniques and more.

During their brief lifespan, the Box Tops earned a reputation as one of the best blue-eyed soul groups of the '60s, even if their recorded legacy wasn't as large or consistent as, say, the Righteous Brothers or the Rascals. Today they're remembered not only for their smashes "The Letter" and "Cry Like a Baby," but as the launching pad for singer Alex Chilton, who went on to become one of rock's most revered cult figures thanks to his groundbreaking power pop unit Big Star. In his teenage years, Chilton was an amazingly gritty Memphis soul belter akin to an American version of the Spencer Davis Group's Stevie Winwood. The Box Tops' music also encompassed touches of pop and psychedelia, although the group's own lack of control over it eventually led to their split-up. The Box Tops began life as the Devilles, a white R&B group featuring guitarists Gary Talley and John Evans, bassist Bill Cunningham, and drummer Danny Smythe. After the band's local popularity blossomed, teenage singer Alex Chilton joined up, and the Devilles quickly caught the attention of songwriters/producers Chips Moman and Dan Penn, who were on the lookout for a Stevie Winwood-type white soul singer. Changing their name to the Box Tops to avoid confusion with a different group of the same name, they signed with Bell Records and began recording at Moman's Memphis-based American Studio. The first single the group cut, "The Letter," rocketed to the top of the charts in 1967, not only spending four weeks at number one but ending up as Billboard magazine's number one single of the year. (Chilton was all of 16 at the time.) With a hit on their hands, Penn began to exert more control over the group; in the wake of "The Letter," he frequently used session musicians on the Box Tops' recordings, sometimes replacing the whole band behind Chilton, sometimes just individual members. Frustrated, Evans and Smythe both left the band to return to school in early 1968, and were replaced by Rick Allen (ex-Gentrys) and Tom Boggs, respectively. The follow-up to "The Letter," "Neon Rainbow," didn't do nearly as well, but the Box Tops managed another massive hit in 1968 with the Dan Penn/Spooner Oldham tune "Cry Like a Baby," which went to number two on the pop charts. Although a couple of minor hits followed in "I Met Her in Church" and "Choo Choo Train," Chilton was rapidly growing dissatisfied with the inconsistency of the material the Box Tops were handed (which was clear on the three LPs the group had released through 1968). As a result, Chilton was chafing at Penn's extreme reluctance to allow him to record his own original compositions. By the time of the Box Tops' fourth and final LP, 1969's Dimensions (an attempt to make a more cohesive album), Penn had bowed out and moved on to other projects. Several Chilton songs appeared on Dimensions, including "I Must Be the Devil," and the group had one last minor hit with "Soul Deep." Cunningham subsequently departed, also to go back to school, and the Box Tops began to disintegrate. When their contract expired in February 1970, they officially disbanded, and Chilton moved to Greenwich Village for a while. Not finding the creative hospitality he'd hoped for, Chilton soon returned to Memphis and joined an Anglo-pop outfit run by his friend Chris Bell; they morphed into Big Star, one of the most revered and mercurial bands in power pop (or, for that matter, underground rock & roll) history.

In addition to performing with the Box Tops our guest Rick Levy has walked the path of the famous without becoming famous himself. He even wrote a book about it. He's been a tour manager, manager, musical director, and performer with many many artists like Peter Noone, Tommy Roe, the Box Tops, and Jay and the Techniques among others. Hope you enjoy our ramblings!!

1967: Damals eine technische Sensation - Willi Brand gibt das Startzeichen für das Farbfernsehen in Deutschland und die Box Tops veröffentlichen "The Letter".

Sam hosts journalist Ann Neumann to discuss her recent piece in Harper's, "Falling Like Leaves: The war in Ethiopia and its crimes against civilians". Then, Sam's joined by Dawn Tefft, a Lead Organizer with Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC), and Sam Harshner, organizer and Adjunct Instructor of Political Science and History at Marquette University, to discuss their work with EWOC and its central mission. First, Sam runs through updates on Biden's State of the Union speech, the rising death roll in the wake of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, the Democrats sweeping Pennsylvania's special election, the Fed continuing their attack on labor, and the House GOP launching their investigation into Hunter Biden's d*ck pics, before diving into the contrast between Biden's tack towards bipartisanship and Sarah Huckabee Sanders' statements that she's nothing like Joe Biden. Ann Neumann then joins as she walks through the last five years of Ethiopian conflict, beginning with the protests and riots breaking out in 2016 and led to myriad resignations across the Ethiopian government and the assumption of Abiy Ahmed to the Prime Ministership, who immediately stepped in to sign a peace treaty with Isaias Afwerki to end the multi-decade Eritrean-Ethiopian border conflict – a move that would earn Ahmed a Nobel Peace Prize, only for it to become apparent that, as a part of the treaty, there was an agreement to turn against their common enemy of Tigray. After a brief conversation on the role of Tigray and Eritrea in the liberation of Ethiopia from the Derg regime, Neumann parses through the role of the US in propping up various leaders in Eritrea and Ethiopia in the shift towards neocolonialism, with Abiy Ahmed being a particular darling of the west. Wrapping up the interview, Ann walks Sam through the crimes against civilians that have come through Ethiopia's strict information blockade, from outright violence and violation to the manipulation of food and medicine, and how the information blockade itself developed. Dawn Tefft and Sam Harshner dive right into the creation of the Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee in early 2020 in response to the impact of the pandemic on workplaces, with the DSA joining with United Electorate to help sponsor and strategize labor organizing and the establishment of unions across the US in the fight for safe workplace policy in a pandemic. After briefly touching on EWOC's work at Marquette University, Dawn and Sam walk through the biggest challenges that faced workplace organizing throughout the pandemic, and how easy it is for workers to unite over mediocre and unsafe working conditions. And in the Fun Half: Sam and the MR Crew tackle Biden baiting the Right into committing to Social Security and Medicare, Frank Luntz's response on (s)quack box, and other highlights from Biden's State of the Union. Nine from Seattle dives into Eritrea's relationship to colonialism and colonization, Ryan from Ohio dives into the disaster train derailment that has taken his house, and Chad from NYC rants against corporate “charity” as per the development of Box Tops. Donald Trump calls Ron DeSantis a groomer, plus, your calls and IMs!

Joe Cocker was a staple of the rock world for around 50 years. His career took off with two songs gifted him by The Beatles (“She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”, “With A Little Help from My Friends”) and a brilliant cover of The Box Tops' “The Letter”, and was almost destroyed by the "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" tour, album and film.    This week's “Album You Must Listen to Before You Die” is “Juju” by Siouxsie and the Banshees. This outstanding 1981 work is celebrated as a Gothic masterpiece. Siouxsie's sonorous voice contrasts with John McGeoch's wonderful guitar weaving a tapestry through a huge rhythm section.    Jeff has a rant about the humble pogo stick gaining new life as a 21st Century mode of travel, while Mick talks about “Trainwreck” - a documentary about the disaster that was Woodstock ‘99, a poorly-planned festival meant to celebrate the original Woodstock.  A lot to cover in an hour! Extreme PogoJoe Cocker Playlist

For the 50th anniversary of Big Star's iconic debut, #1 RECORD, we take a detailed look at how it was made. After Chris Bell, Andy Hummel and Jody Stephens had taken recording classes from Ardent Studios owner, John Fry, they began to learn the art of recording. John Fry generously allowed them to use the studio during the night as they recorded under the names, Icewater and Rock City. Meanwhile, Alex Chilton had quit the Box Tops and was living in New York City before deciding to return to his hometown of Memphis. Chris Bell invited him to join the band as they began recording what would become #1 RECORD. In this episode, Big Star drummer, Jody Stephens describes being a teenager caught under the spell of his bandmates' talents and the creative environment of Ardent Studios. Engineer/keyboardist, Terry Manning, reflects on his close friendships with Chris Bell, Alex Chilton and the Big Star clique, and his contributions to #1 RECORD. Holly George-Warren, author of A Man Called Destruction: The Life and Music of Alex Chilton, from Box Tops to Big Star to Backdoor Man, discusses Alex Chilton's unlikely journey of being the 16-year-old lead singer of a hit group to learning to be a songwriter and an independent person. Rich Tupica, author of There Was a Light: The Cosmic History of Chris Bell and the Rise of Big Star, describes Chris Bell's sonic vision for #1 RECORD as well as his deterioration in the aftermath of the failure of its release. From wanting to be the Memphis Beatles to endless hours of recording through the night to bringing motorcycles into the studio to Alex discovering a new voice to the Bell/Chilton collaboration and rivalry to the distribution disaster, we'll hear the stories of how the album came together.

In this episode we speak with Bill Cunningham and Gary Talley, founding members of the great 60s band The Box Tops.  We discuss the recording of their many classic hits including"The Letter", "Soul Deep" and many more, and how they are keeping this music alive decades later.

The women of the KLiTZ came from different backgrounds and have different stories. This episode looks deeper into each member of the KLiTZ and their lasting impact in Memphis.

Please sit back and enjoy our laid back relaxed conversation with Bill Cunningham and Gary Talley two of the original founding members of the Box Tops. Songs like "The Letter" and "Cry Like a Baby" were some of the best pop songs released back in the day. Everyone has a history and the Box Tops history is pretty crazy with some real unusual twists and turns you'll enjoy hearing about...and be amazed at some of the shenanigans taking place around them. Hope you enjoy this weeks episode of The Cowsills Podcast.

Whether it's Blackie, Jocko, Stamos, or John, Tony Gates or any of the broadway characters he's portrayed, General Hospital, Full House, Fuller House, Fullest House (just kidding there was no "Fullest House"), Grandfathered, ER, Big Shot , he's on Disney plus he's on Netflix and his TV commercials are some of his best work.... he's everywhere....visiting with John Stamos is like visiting with one of the most successful everythings of our time...and we've basically known him via our own brother John forever. He's like this true family friend. Anyway enough of John but his career though right? Where do you start? What do you focus on? So we just decided let's just visit with him and certainly questions will arise during the visit and maybe we'll even ask him something he's never been asked. Coming up...the Box Tops!

Cars and motorbikes have forever been a key part of rock'n'roll songs and lifestyle. In the Western world, kids had cars, sometimes borrowed from their parents but increasingly their own.   Cars offered status, escape from daily life, and, of course, a means to sex!! When you're in your car, you want to hear songs about cars and driving, and rock'n'roll was happy to deliver. In this episode, we look at songs  that talk about cars, the artists who made those songs, and some strange stories about both. References:  Joe Cocker, “The Letter”, The Box Tops, “Mad Dogs and Englishmen”, Austen Tayshus, “Australiana”, "I bet she's seen a cockatoo", Black Sabbath, Paranoid,  J Mascis, Dinosaur Jr, Ted Mulry, “Jump in my Car”, Madness, Janis Joplin, Beach Boys, "Little Deuce Coupe",  "Baby, You Can Drive my Car", The Beatles,  John Lennon, Keith Moon, Brian Johnston, Nick Mason, Roger Taylor, "I'm in Love With my Car” , A Night at the Opera, John Cale, Elvis Presley, “Cars”, Gary Numan, “Unknown Legend”, Neil Young, “Highway Star”, Deep Purple", “Motorcycle Mama”, Stan Ridgway, "Drive, She Said” , "Radar Love”, Golden Earring, "Pink Cadillac", Springsteen, "Blinded by the Light", Manfred Mann's Earth Band, "Little Red Corvette", Prince, "Get Out of my Dreams and into my Car”, Billy Ocean, David Bowie, “Always crashing in the same car”, Low, REM, "Drive” , "Rock On”, David Essex, The Cars, “Drive”, B-52's, “Love Shack”, Bob Seger, “Turn the Page”, The Wiggles, "Big Red Car”, Kraftwerk, “Autobahn”

A quick one. We start with a Randy song Dan doesn't like, and it somehow turns into.... a song Dan likes even less! Our advocate for Britney Spears, the one and only Meg Rad, comes on the WHEEL to talk about Easy Street, Randy's diss song against Britney Spears. Meg methodically and politely explains how Randy got so many things about Britney wrong. Then she gives us a crash course in the Britney trial, and the horrors of abuse in the Conservatorship movement. Then Dan SEAMLESSLY talks about... the Box Tops?? Thanks Meg!

In this episode, Bob & Kevin talk all things CRISPR - basically the REGEX of DNA editing... and guess what? Apparently you can do it at home... soak in the transcript below (from our friends at https://otter.ai/) and feel free to ping us on social media with your thoughts on this episode or any of our others - Follow us on twitter at https://twitter.com/bobandkevinshow.  Kevin 0:00 So Bob, is this a safe place for discourse? Bob 0:06 I hope so Kevin 0:07 good. Because Bob 0:09 I've been pretending it is for quite some Kevin 0:11 as we have the normal show disclaimer, but rather than disclaim, I mean, we'll do the normal disclaimer. But rather than just do the normal disclaimer, I'm going to go ahead and say it right now. I'm probably going to piss off the science folks. And I'm probably going to piss off the religious folks. Bob 0:27 Why are you going to piss off the science folks? That doesn't seem like something you would do? Kevin 0:31 2020 outrage culture was born. Not that long ago and people disliked we pissed. Bob 0:38 So what do scientists play that game? Because they're pretty factual. Kevin 0:42 There's there's different kinds of scientists, right? There's, there's Yes, there's just I mean, they're humans, right? So it depends. Bob 0:51 I guess I just don't see Neil deGrasse Tyson getting outraged. Kevin 0:54 So something number scientists so something happened in 1984 Bob, do you know what happened? Bob 1:02 George Orwell wrote a book. Kevin 1:05 Now he actually wrote that in 1948 but you know about the year 1984 I probably got the year you write it wrong, but as a long time ago anyway, know what you meant to say, but you didn't say is gozer that goes arion asks the Ghostbusters if they're gods. And Bob, do you remember what they say? Bob 1:26 Oh, how did I How did I misquote that? Right? Unknown Speaker 1:31 You? Kevin 1:33 So do you remember what the Ghostbusters replied? Who you gonna call? Oh, in fact, they said no. I said, you know when gozer says are you a god? And they're like, no. And then she like tries to destroy them. So how does this okay, I am I'm a bastion of useless pop culture references. Okay, so Bob, would you like to play God unearth, Bob 2:01 Kevin. I think I have since I have children, doesn't that qualify? Kevin 2:06 Yeah, maybe I guess he kind of brought life into this world and the common thing is I brought you in this world. take you out, take you out. At least that's what I was told when I was a child. Okay, so playing God, Bob 2:21 I don't really know if I have God like playing God like tendencies. Like I'm a floater. I just kind of go where the wind takes me for the most part. Kevin 2:29 All right, so Unknown Speaker 2:32 would you Kevin 2:33 consider saving or manipuri manipulating populations of species of animals on earth a bit of kind of messing with how things work kind of kind of godlike a little bit. Bob 2:51 I know where this is going. I know where you're taking me. Oh boy. Um all right no but we do well let's naturally or not Kevin 3:06 we let's develop it a little further. So there is like an article and I think his name was Diego or something the turtle maybe maybe you know his actual name. He He's been tasked he's a giant turtle has been tasked with making babies making more giant turtles. Bob 3:22 I think he succeeded and they set him free. Yeah, he made like 2000 Kevin 3:25 babies so there is at once you know a very small number. Now there's 2000 thanks to his sexual prowess as a giant turtle right? Did they I didn't read the article. Did they do it naturally or did they do it extraction and implantation? I'm pretty sure he did it the old fashioned way, Bob. Good. No, yeah. So if you listen to Joe Rogan, which I know we both do, sometimes I'll mention, wolves are being reintroduced to curb like elk populations, or do population and things like that. And other things that we kind of play God as humans is genetically modified organisms. And you and I have talked a little like three sentences, maybe on the pod and maybe a little more off about where we are with genetically modified organisms. And for the lay user, a GMO is basically vegetables that produce bigger fruit. It's going to be chickens. Well, actually, before we get the chickens, Bob 4:32 it's gonna be basically but since the dawn of, but hang on since the dawn of time we've been genetically modifying just by breeding. Kevin 4:41 Yeah, and like, just like the turtle the good old I was trying to come up with what what do we call that as humans because we took corn because like the original corn was like really nice. You know, small Meeker looking and we use I guess, expedited natural selection to make the corn super fat and feed population. Bob 5:01 Well, you brought up apparently something similar has happened to bananas as well, because apparently the bananas of old don't taste like the bananas today. Well, Kevin 5:09 how long have bananas tastes? They don't exist? Bob 5:12 What? I don't think the bananas of old actually exist anymore. Kevin 5:17 All right. I mean, there's those things called playing pains or whatever they kind of look like. But I Bob 5:22 think that there's I'll have to find the article and maybe put it in the show notes. But there's definitely some discussions about how bananas have been genetically re engineered, you know, but through breed, you know, Kevin 5:34 bananas are like the number one selling thing at Walmart. I believe. Yeah. And I used to work at a Walmart distribution center, grocery one. And bananas were like the first class citizen and products in the warehouse. I mean, you want to get in trouble. Go mess with the bananas. There's a whole team of people that will like take you down, if you can try to mess with the bananas. It's amazing. Bob 5:58 All right. So we've we've crossbred corn Well, it's just it's very popular in the plant world to cross pollinate species to create a new plant, whether it'd be more suited to feed more people or visual appearance plants, you know, like flowering plants are pretty common there. Kevin 6:20 So there's a lot of people who are against GMOs because I guess they ignore the idea of natural expedite and natural selection because that's air quotes nature. There's also the laboratory version where they're kind of doing gene editing and then you there's no shortage of labeling. If you go you'll see gluten free and then you also see non GMO on the on the box too. Bob 6:42 But do you think so, as far as that classification goes, they're talking about laboratory genetically modified, not classic, just cross pollinate, and I saw a tweet and I'm not gonna be able to give the person credit, Kevin 6:55 but basically, it came down to the difference between laborat And natural selection is basically this human emotional laden burden that you put upon yourself because at the end, they both won't kill you. They both taste good, and they both will feed you. So who cares whether it was in the lab or natural selection, right. Bob 7:16 But I think in this is probably getting to the crux of we're going to anyway, I think that the general fear is if we're doing this artificially, in even so far as the artificially not encouraging the crossbreeding of species, those kind of things. But if we're doing it in a scientific lab, underneath microscopes with, you know, syringes and centrifuges, and things like that, I think the inherent fear is that that's going to cause a domino effect of negative consequence. Right. Kevin 7:49 And if we stick with food for a moment, and I told you, you know, what, here's corn, I'm not going to tell you whether it was modified by the laboratory whether it was not modified at all or was we just had many, many, many generations of expedited natural selection. Here you go. Would you eat it or not? Or would you care? Bob 8:10 I probably wouldn't care. I definitely wouldn't know. Although like supernatural stuffs tends to be a little bit different flavor, profile, texture, all that kind of stuff. But I mean, yeah, the, it really makes no difference to that the Kevin 8:24 other buzzword in food is organic, which if you look at the rules, basically there's as long as you check back to two or three of these boxes, you can use the word organic, but it's totally in my opinion, non GMO and organic is totally a marketing term. It's totally just some hipster way of saying we're better than you and it's just the new marketing. What do you think? Yeah, Bob 8:46 organic is more of a organic is definitely more of a an encouragement to follow a specific set of standards is outlined by some organization where the GMO is almost like a confession or not confession, like you know, so we're just letting you know this product has been genetically modified and I probably should have looked up for that. So what the true definition of genetic genetically modified is while I news on this next topic, maybe if you want to ask Mr. Google or so the next part is and so we talked about plants, and you mentioned the word breeding. So we breed plants we also breed animals so we have dogs right we I own two labradoodles that's unnatural for the most part, unless you have a Labrador now poodle, who are like friends lab thinking uh, you know, tootles can keep asking rato day Yeah, they use Kevin 9:42 like doggy Tinder, it's really weird, but you know, to, to labradoodles. So bark, left bark. And then we also have so we don't eat dogs. Well, unfortunately. But we have cattle, pig, sheep, you know, that sort of thing. We do have like the Bacon's and the stakes of the world. And we've also done a an expedited natural selection of those. We also have things like this is antibiotic free, we have free range chickens, things like that. So we definitely, I don't know that that rises to the level of God, but it definitely rises to the level of manipulation. And hopefully I've got enough time for you to tell us what GMO is defined as, Bob 10:28 Oh, totally GMO, or genetically modified organism is a plant, animal micro or micro organism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology. Kevin 10:46 A couple couple $5 word. That's right. We'll just go with it. Some science involved, right? Bob 10:51 Well, I think the I think the important part is laboratory. Okay. So if there's two different crops in a field and they cross pollinate, and it makes a crop that more suitable for fill in the blank that is not genetically modified that is just good old fashioned farming. Unknown Speaker 11:08 You are listening to the Bob and Kevin show with Bob Baty bar and Kevin chesky. Each week we cover relevant tech and social issues related to technology. Our website is Bob and Kevin dot show. And our episodes can be found virtually on any Podcast Network. Be sure to follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Just search for Bob and Kevin show. Kevin 11:46 Just to take it to the extreme because that's what we do here. So if I now build four walls and a roof around your field, and they're making babies under the roof, and I stick a sign on that says, Kevin's laboratory farm is that now GMO Bob 12:03 Would you be using genetic engineering or transgenic technology? I think the operative words in their engineering and technology Kevin 12:15 i don't know i don't think Bob 12:16 i don't think you would. I think if you put a house over your plants that we're doing it with people don't the plants that weren't there species I think Kevin 12:25 you're I was gonna ask you then if the tomatoes that are growing in a window at grandma's house is she, you know, practicing GMO so I guess we're saying no, Bob 12:34 so well, it's funny that you bring that up because I'm sure we'll touch on this later. Well, I'll save that. Okay, where are you taking this next? Kevin 12:43 Alright, so manipulating, breeding, growth of vegetables laboratory, things like that takes me to, you know, like, when when when an animal is going to be extinct like the turtle or loner like the black rhino or pick pick some sort of an Dangerous species as humans, and this is where I'm going to piss off probably, I don't know, maybe everybody I look at that and go, maybe we maybe we should let them all die. You know, please don't ask me. But I'm Bob 13:14 asking No, but I think there's a definite, I don't think it's just you. I think there's a whole camp of people who believe that the natural consequences of all of our actions are those natural consequences, and we should let those play out. I think there's obviously another group camp of people who believe that we should do everything within our power. I'm doing everything in air quotes, by the way, right, everything in our power to stop that destruction based on our natural consequences. But then, however, some people in that camp would be appalled if quote unquote, unnatural methods were used to course correct, even though unnatural methods probably put us on the course in the first place. Kevin 13:56 Right. So to recap, I on one hand, we introduced Wolves to bounce an ecosystem. On the other hand, we take an ecosystem that is favoring the extinction of obsolete potentially animals. And we we artificially prop them up as Bob 14:13 well. But I think in a lot of those cases, those are reintroductions. So, let's say especially as it relates to the wolf, the wolf used to roam free across many a continent. And then due to expansion, technology, and probably very specific measures to remove wolf populations from an area. Now, we're finding that they did serve a purpose in the conservation effort and management of wild animals. So now we're reintroducing species back into areas where they used to be but aren't any longer Kevin 14:57 and I get the whole idea that ecosystems can collapse and you have to possibly recognize it and make adjustments. But let's take it to the extreme of Bob and Kevin show favorite. So the Tyrannosaurus Rex was not completely extinct by a meteor. In fact, they lasted until the early 20th century. And the final ones were placing the captivity. Do we need to keep them alive? Is what I'm getting. Bob 15:25 Yeah, I'm sorry. Wait, wait, this is fake. Oh, Kevin 15:29 totally. Yeah. So okay. Bob 15:32 I was like, what books are you reading? Kevin 15:34 No, I am definitely at risk of sounding like weird flat earther. guy. I completely hypothetical. What if the T rex lived to modern times? Would there be people out there going we need to save the T Rex. Meanwhile, we haven't heard from that person in a while after the after they tried to feed it, you know? Bob 15:52 Oh, without a doubt. There would be the save the T rex people. All right. Kevin 15:58 All right. So now we've kind of set the table here. So, imagine me, Bob 16:03 I'm smoking. Kevin 16:04 Where is this going? So imagine you had the ability to bring back the T Rex, kind of like Jurassic Park. But your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could they didn't stop to think of a shot. Or more likely, you had the ability to prevent or cure people of genetic diseases such as I don't know. I don't know, bad stuff. There's a whole list of bad things. Bob 16:30 Hold tight hold total list and imagine Kevin 16:33 that there's a technology allows you to cut and paste DNA like it. We're a frickin Word document, and just change the genetic code. And the recap. DNA is the double helix thing and it's got four sets of possible letters, I forget the four letters, it's like TCGA or something like that. And those are the only depending on how you combine these that's that's basically what defines Bob you as person me as person. And then everyone else. So sometimes there's errors in those. And those errors give rise to diseases. So there's a technology called CRISPR. Bob, do you know what CRISPR stands for? It's an acronym. Bob 17:15 I do have a tab open somewhere that tells me what CRISPR means. All right. Kevin 17:23 clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats, wow, say that 10 times fast. So we're just going to call it CRISPR moving forward, Bob 17:34 and it's also typically grouped with a Unknown Speaker 17:39 protein called cast Kevin 17:41 nine, but there are more than one. So there's technology and it's I don't want to call old technology, but it's emerging technology, but it's been around for at least five years or so. And it allows this cut and paste of somebody's DNA. So the first question I had for myself was this Wait a second, you can cut and paste so DNA but DNA is per cell, right? So each cell has the same DNA, but if I want to cut and paste, you know, a skin cell, great, but what about the other cells in my body? How do I, you know, make it propagate through my body or whatnot. So I looked this up. And there's two ways to do this. They can either take cells out of your body, cut and paste and then put them back in. Or they can add at at the sperm egg level at the embryo stage, you know, right when it combined get the first cell they can edit that one cell, and they subdivide, now it's in every cell in your body sounds awesome, doesn't about we can just cure every disease, the end. Bob 18:44 Highly unlikely that that's the short. All right, well, Kevin 18:46 let's let's look some more at kind of how it works. So I watched the, I guess, the equivalent of TED talks and stuff on this in different videos on YouTube. So essentially, what CRISPR is is a molecular scalpel. It's actually according to them, Well, actually, it's very accurate, easy, quick and inexpensive. Those are usually things you don't associate with like new modern cutting edge tech technology, right? Bob 19:13 Yeah, I think like legit machine is only like Kevin 19:16 10 grand. And so there's a you can you can buy kits online for about $200 and you can do biohacking on yourself. And the way it works is in your cells, you have RNA, and they they program these proteins to look for a certain sequence of genes or nucleate proteins, if you will, in your body. And once it finds a match, it will then cut and paste the take the old one out, or I guess it'll be cut and recut. Yeah, it'd be cut and paste. Bob 19:50 Yeah, it can remove completely, it can replace or it can repair and repair would just be realigning the CGS T's and the is to put it in the desired sequence. Kevin 20:04 So the programmer amigos, ah, so this is pretty much a regex. So based on this pattern and kind Bob 20:11 of it kind of is Kevin 20:12 and Bob, when you if you have 99 problems totally. Okay. Yeah. So, because imagine what would happen and this happens all the time programming, hey, I think I got the the pattern to match and then you apply in it, either a doesn't match or B. What's worse is it matches a bunch of stuff you didn't intend it to match. So that's, that's kind of, Bob 20:36 if I have trouble with a regex for a phone number, for instance, right? You're telling me that scientists have figured out the regex for all DNA sequences or Well, I guess I haven't figured out for all of them. But they the literature says it's relatively simple. I believe that's a quote to pretty much decode anywhere they want to Kevin 20:59 so We can't so phone numbers, tough emails even more like controversial because there's like, hey, I need to read it. If you Google the regex for email, you will get so many answers that all of them say are right. And then there's the well, actually guy who always puts a little comments that go for it. Well, actually, it doesn't cover this cares. Okay, whatever. I got it. Okay. So, what's what's this best for? Well, apparently, if you have a single gene that's jacked up, this is the best thing so far that they've got. And one other delivery method that they have for this. And the idea here is this is going to cure some disease, that one delivery method that they're trying to use is create a virus that attacks every cell in your body, and it performs the cut and paste everywhere in your body. So the virus becomes Yeah, the transport mechanism, if you will. Bob 21:53 That's basically the process they were outlining in NPR. episode of radiolab that I listened to a couple years ago. I think they actually just revisited it not too long ago so Kevin 22:08 one of my kids has to get monthly infusions at the hospital and we have to do that for his foreseeable future for life as far as you know cuz he got a jacked up immune system. So there's a bit of an appeal here that hey, you know, we can do this here. If you know somebody with cancer, I guess that's one application to they can program. Things to, you know, attack cancer. But what, what is kind of weird when people kind of go to the Black Mirror episodes are you know, could you create a super soldier? Could you create a designer child or whatnot, right, so that's where it starts getting weird. Bob 22:46 Well, I think that's the slippery slope for most technology. Even that Netflix, limited series, I guess is what they're calling it that you had recommended even in episode one. That the practical uses versus the I would say cosmetic uses that Joe user biohacking in their basement. Like it was almost three to one cosmetic type. Kevin 23:14 Wow, that's an awesome transition because I got a list of things here that well, if this were possible, what what could people use this for? Well, obesity would be one of them, right? Hey, I want to be able to eat whatever I want. And I want my body to be able to just whatever, you know, that's, that's what I want Oreos every day and I still look amazing. So that's, that's one thing that people would use for vanity, right? Bob 23:39 Yes, so you got that metabolic and then also, like the muscle tissue, like the ability to multiply muscle tissue at a faster and Kevin 23:47 just to make things weird. Breast augmentation, right. Right now, it's very popular for women to do breast augmentation or reduction, if you will, some sort of body modification there and for men I don't have to lead you very far to tell you what men might want to do. Bob 24:05 If we say male enhancement, can we put that in the show title and get that click Yes. Kevin 24:10 Let's say one more time male, enhance male and there we go. So it'll definitely be in the transcript. Now, the SEC to me would be the next thing. Wouldn't it be great if you didn't have to do anything other than take an injection and now you're just Bob 24:25 shooting blanks. They almost have that down to an injection at this point. Anyway, it's such microsurgery so Kevin 24:32 and along these lines, what what if we perfect this so much, and I'm just going I like going to the black near end of the spectrum, sometimes what if we no longer procreate the old way air quotes, everyone becomes sterile through an injection, and then you just order your baby online Bob 24:51 you from the central repository. Kevin 24:53 You've heard this story before, except this time, you're going to take a swab of your mouth and then your potential mate And he sent both q tips in and Eddie that sounds high and for Box Tops from your favorite cereal and it goes to the central repository they engineer your child from an embryo they basically go the freezer and you know do their thing and you know drop in your whatever it is they do and then your kid shows up the woman doesn't even have to go through the pain of childbirth anymore they everything is custom ordered. It's your kid there's hopefully knows no swapping of DNA with the wrong donor you know? Yeah, whatever. What do you think? Bob 25:37 Let's let's take it back a half stuck, because I think the one of the original like sales jobs part of this would be we can eliminate x and x in this instance the sales job part of it would be something awful that is taking lives at a at a high rate at this time. current state in our you know our our global community of people so let's say that that works like without without a large dollar payment because it seems like this would be in the best interest of mankind so why would it be expensive first of all that would never go down like that it would be super expensive to start but let's say that they could fix something that that affected a lot of people the the immediate cascade effect is that of that is we have people starving all over the world now anyway, they do. So why would we want to artificially inflate our population that's already growing at an extreme rate? Kevin 26:40 And oh, so one of the specials that I was watching brought up immortality sounds great, right? We can live forever that's a shitty idea. It is a shitty idea and be even if you double the life of humans 200 years imagine the food requirements and the just the Annette air the the The actual cleaning of the human population numbers won't happen at the same rate. I mean, you want to talk about overpopulation now, Bob 27:08 right? The only thing I could think of that would be worse than being 100 would be being 200. Ah, Kevin 27:14 well, okay because of aging, but did you know that the common lobster does not age? Bob 27:22 Okay, by what standard? Kevin 27:25 I don't know I they were talking about how lobsters don't age and I guess squids, there's like different things that don't they still die. They're not immortal. But they don't age. They're the same, like, age wise. I don't know how you determine age of a lobster. But Bob 27:40 you asked him, Hey, Kevin 27:44 I'm 32 but I feel like I'm six months or whatever. Bob 27:49 I'm calling so much bullshit on that statement. The lobster doesn't Google it. Kevin 27:54 Check it, look into it, look into it. Bob 27:57 Alright, but the simplest Like ourselves age, like that's a known thing, cells age and die, right? And they're not they're not the same as the day that they were formed. So how do we have organisms swimming around our oceans don't age? Well, Kevin 28:13 I we'd have to look up the definition of aging. But the implication here is if humans can take lobster DNA and put it into humans, perhaps we don't age either or we can even reverse the effects of aging. Bob 28:26 Or we end up with a hard outer shell and well, okay, Kevin 28:31 see, I love I love your we didn't plan this. But you have another bullet point I have on here. Bob 28:37 Also, we never plan anything just in case. Well, we don't we do plan Kevin 28:42 separately, just not collaboratively. So right. But imagine, we're like, Hey, we got this figured out. You can go on Amazon. Order your crisper kit. You're like, Hey, you know what, instead of those tacky wild eyes for Halloween, I want real red eyes this year. So you go on Amazon you buy a crisper kit suddenly have red eyes You're like I'm getting tired of the red eyes. Let me go back to blue. Oh, you should make them like glow bioluminescent eyes when that be cool, you know kind of like the night King from Game of Thrones. Yeah, yeah. Add that to cart to Yeah, get one for me get one for me right what could go wrong? Bob 29:17 Yeah, but have you ever cut a piece of paper and then pasted it back together and then cut it again and pasted it back together. Eventually, eventually the ship gets shorter. And eventually it just breaks Kevin 29:28 kind of like if you take a JPEG and just keep receiving 1000 times it turns into this. So what I'm getting at here is, are we risking creating bio disasters by making this super easy and convenient? I would say yes, we're going to have that exoskeleton that we didn't mean to get from the lobster because we thought we're getting a no aging but now we have these freaks of nature, right? Bob 29:53 Yes. And did you see that panel is like the Silicon Valley Comic Con, which I imagine that's probably like the biggest freak shows of everything. But in the first episode of that Netflix special, they had that panel. And the one guy, I get what he was lobbying for, you know, this CRISPR technology is being highly regulated with good cause. But we won't know what the implications of it are if we can't test it on healthy people. So I get with the guys coming from but I just feel like you're just asking for shit ton of negative consequences. Kevin 30:35 Yeah, so like anything. So okay, let's let's take the invention of the atom bomb, which was preceded by the splitting of the atom. So when they split the atom, they probably will that the Manhattan Project was built for war purposes. And but I think it's Oppenheimer who ran the project was like, Fuck, you know, basically the cats out of the bag at this point, you know, we A new era is Dawn. And that's absolutely happened. And so the atomic bomb had some noble consequences, which is energy, nuclear submarines more military. So we had nuclear power and things like that. But it came at the consequence of having created the most destructive weapon ever. And so I look at this crisper stuff is going, Hey, this is cool. It has some good here, but it also has the consequence of having potential bio disasters, we could create some sort of biological weapon that can actually annihilate all of us overnight, you know, some virus or something Bob 31:35 almost seamlessly and silently, right. And I think you brought up you brought up Game of Thrones, and I was just thinking about, you know, the, what was that army? The unfallen Kevin 31:48 was this insanely, I believe, on Unix. Bob 31:54 Right, so they could in theory, speaking of the bioengineering Not just like chemical warfare but they could bio engineer people without remorse without you know, appendages that aren't necessarily needed or, or appendages that would tempt them. So or make it so Kevin 32:14 tons or make it so humans are not hermaphrodites and you can actually reproduce asexually and you don't need a mate anymore. He just divide or whatever boy, Bob 32:25 I'm pretty sure the republicans will never let that like I said, we're gonna piss off everybody here today. So Kevin 32:33 hey, if we really want to get this off people abortion, I'm gonna bring up a portion. So you're probably wondering, how does this mix in Well, in a lot of countries and a lot of places, there's pre, there's early pregnancy testing, and some people choose to abort their pregnancies or terminate the pregnancies, whatever the PC version of that is, based on that and so you could look at this as go hey, we Prevent abortions of the that variety. If we can fix it, you know, hey, we say there's a hole in the heart. Let's fix that. We don't have to abort the fetus, right. So there is, you know, I could see people coming. Where am I going with this Can I can see people from both sides of the aisle, you took my Bob 33:19 line. Kevin 33:21 Damn it, I could see people on both sides arguing for and against this is what I'm saying when I say both sides it's the tip. It's the two sides in America people spoiler alert. So I'm not sure how this will come down. Do you see this going any particular way. Bob 33:38 I think that the in womb, genetic defect repair is definitely another one of their sales tactics for this type of technology. But also to go back to your blue I read I you know, cutting that piece of paper so many times that it just shreds I could see that same technique being used for fertility like an on and off bit for fertility. Oh yeah. So you mentioned it with the vasectomy, you know, it could obviously be used for women's reproduction as well. So you basically could go in and instead of being on birth control pills get your DNA edited over a six week course or whatever it is to turn off your reproductive organs and then when you get to a point in your life where you think you're ready to settle down and have a family just go back and get it turned back on the new birth control right hey, I'm young I don't need It's the new everything control unfortunately I that gives rise Kevin 34:35 to Hey, I'm going to take my children down to the clinic turn hit the off button because they get born with it on so I'm gonna hit the off button. Hey kids, you just go be promiscuous as you want to learn about everything. Hey, we've even taken care of HIV. That's not a thing. We turn that off too. So you resistant just go for it. Man. This is getting really weird. Bob 34:56 But I think when you like in going back to the doctor Come again or whatever that is the limited series. It's called Netflix Kevin 35:03 called unnatural selection because I don't think we've set on Bob 35:06 natural selection. Okay, sorry, I meant to name it the first time. But you can go back to unnatural selection. This whole discussion of putting these kits are the ability for these kids to exist in a quote unquote, home lab. I mean, basically, you could start to, you know, there's the people there that were biohacking themselves, but you could most certainly biohack your kids without their consent, though. Kevin 35:31 Really. That'll be the next thing because we already have let's see, it's the HPV virus vaccine that you can give to a tweener. 12 1314 ish. And that's controversial. I mean, heck people by getting the measles vaccine controversy. So, you know, I have Yeah, I have. I have a hard time thinking that this will get very far. However. I think some of the aims of these biohackers is to make it so simple that if it's not legalized There'll be a black market of biohacking out there, kids. You're worried about marijuana worry about people getting genetically modified at this point? Bob 36:09 No, I think that the biohacking movement is well underway. And I mean, body modifications have really transitioned into biohacking to be more permanent in nature. And it comes up and sci fi shows all the time. Oh, so I mean, it's definitely part of culture. And this technology, like I said that one article I found, I think the base regular machine that scientists uses only 10 grand for crisper, and now they've found a way to replicate it for literally pennies. So do you ever watch crime shows like the last 48 or? I try really hard not to Kevin 36:47 so I'll binge watch some of those and just think less of humanity. But a common theme during those shows is the DNA match the results? Well, guess what I do. You know, let's say you murder someone I didn't wanna say I murder someone. Let's say someone murdered somebody. And I bought one of these kippy if you're listening, Bob 37:08 I'm sure Kevin murdered someone. Kevin 37:12 Oh, man, it's weird. Bob 37:13 Let me finish my thought took off his game. Kevin 37:16 So, could you modify your DNA after the crime, and it suddenly no longer match? And now I am able to say, Well, I'm only an 8% match versus the 99.99% match. I didn't By the way, you're not the father. Well, Maury Povich for you. Bob 37:38 Yeah, it's totally gonna mess up the Maury show. Um, but no, I, first of all, huge personal disclaimer here. I've never killed anyone unlike my co Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's not what I meant to say. I don't know from the research that I've read. So I think it's very, very realistic to say, yeah, you could tweak something in be that not 99, nine match. But I don't know how long the course is to make a genetic correction to that. Kevin 38:10 I don't either. Of course, that's during a lot of these talks. And one of the the, I don't know, she's a co founder, but she's one of the names. Her name's Jennifer Doudna. Bob 38:23 Yeah, that actually sounds right. She was, Kevin 38:26 you know, she was on this panel. And she was very upfront and said, hey, look, we can change one gene, we can maybe change a few sequences. And then when the panelists were being asked about these black media type things, well, not yet, but she didn't rule it out. She's like in the future, maybe. But she kind of threw a dose of reality. I think on some of that. I did have another sort of use for this. Imagine your Russia, North Korea, or even maybe United States is they're known to do some door during our Let's say no let's say you had a detainee or a dissident political dissident like China, you know, if you're not part of the party, you're against the party. Could you modify he send them to a, let's just say, we'll just Bob 39:15 go China? Okay. It if Kevin 39:18 could you modify them in a way that would mark them or alter their behavior or some sort of or even like, you know, your truth serum? Hey, turn on these jeans and they will tell a lie, you know, during the interrogation. I mean, there's so many bad things. I think they're gonna come out of this. Bob 39:39 Oh, no doubt. No. Kevin 39:42 All right. I have a question for you, Bob. Okay, if it were safe. And if you had some sort of debilitating thing, hypothetically, would you do it to yourself or would you consult a professional who could perform so Sort of modification to you. Bob 40:03 I think that begs such bigger questions Kevin 40:09 you're so responsible by that's such a responsible answer. Bob 40:14 I think about this all the time, because, you know, I think you and I both do because we're parents, you know, our kids, they're unique and ourselves personally, we're unique because of who we are and in what our circumstances and how we deal with that circumstance. And just like you wouldn't want to say you're defined by fill in the blank. It's still part of who you are. Um, Kevin 40:41 I just don't know. I think I would fear the downside. Like the unknown downside. Yeah. Try to undo something that's already been done for whatever reason, or no, really so but it's done if I were to have surgery, and I've had minor surgery, but you know, I've known people have major surgeries. That's a physical manipulation of the layers above the stack, if you will of DNA, that's a higher order modification, getting your ears pierced getting a tattoo, those are all body modifications to different, you know, extense. So I could see a rash now that DNA modification is just a modification of the body at a different stage of the the diagram, if you will. And if I were dying, and there were a certain cure, and there was, I guess the chances of it working or not, or high or low, but you're saying there's a chance, you know, I might consider it Bob 41:43 right, but that's life or death. I think that there's so many situations where in betweens, right or out of convenience, Kevin 41:52 like being paralyzed, or Bob 41:55 Well, maybe parallel because I think parallel ization definitely contributes to a life or death situation. So there's a saying an injury Kevin 42:04 that is based on life, limb or eyesight. So I think one of those three would definitely rise the level of Hell yeah. Let's try it. However, vanity things such as I have got this freckle right here on my butt or whatever. Can you make it go away but don't use a knife but can you just make it no longer part of my genome and you know stuff like that? I don't think obviously it's worth the risk. But I'm I know people who have you know, those giant where they call it gaged earrings a man. He got frickin coffee cups saucers, his gauges, there you go, man. You go. I'm not that but you that guy would get his freckle removed off his ass. Bob 42:54 Yeah, I wonder if that would work. I don't know. There's just so much you don't know about but he There's one thing that I wanted to make sure that I got to before too long. One of the things that freaked me out in doing this research and I don't know if you saw it, or notice it if you're doing any of the research online, but there are freaking ads. Like I'm staring at one right now. It's in the middle of one of the articles that I pulled up. It's about the the lab that found a way to basically make crisper tools for pennies. There's an ad on the page, it says stop doing crisper for yourself. Order your knockout cell lines. So there are companies that you can pay to fabricate your knockout cells for you. Because apparently that many people are doing at home. There's advertising for it. There's a Kevin 43:46 there's a market for this. Wow. Yeah, well, I wonder if this is kind of looked at by the FDA as like a supplement. This hasn't been tested. This statement has not been tested by the FDA. Good luck Bob 43:58 but I think one of the channels Is that they talk about all the time, is that China? Or maybe it's because it's only regulated at the upper levels and not at the personal level? I don't know. But, you know, one of the arguments is, well, China's way ahead of us in this technology, because it's not as regulated as it is here. The old we gotta get ahead of them. The bad guys, right? Seems to be a very common theme. Unknown Speaker 44:23 So Kevin 44:25 I just want to ponder another potential use of this. So life is very fragile. As far as we know, you need oxygen, you need water. You need you know, place here or you need a space suit. Imagine going to Mars without a space suit. We can genetically modify our astronauts to breathe a very thin atmosphere or we could genetically modify them to breathe methane on one of the moons of Jupiter or Saturn. Of course, there's other problems like pressure suits. I get that don't don't that me but man In, we can modify, you know, humans to travel through the cosmos. Bob 45:06 But all that would require an extreme amount of experimentation, which is the problem right now, Kevin 45:12 like takes me relax. All right click the aliens. What? What? Why? So they're aliens. Okay, so imagine aliens have already had this problem. They want to go visit Earth, but we can't get there because of these biological issues. So what if they've evolved to the point where they now can do their own DNA splicing and editing and they've modified their bodies so that they got big, black guys and their small bodies and they're gray and they're very smart, and they can travel across the cosmos? Maybe maybe aliens already doing this Bob? What do you think? Bob 46:00 I'm going to guess they probably have better genetic code to start out with. That's what I'm going to guess. All right, so they live in a society where the genetic modification of their organism is an accepted norm. And they bioengineer themselves to suit whatever Next, you know, Global Mission they have. Kevin 46:27 All right, so we've always heard of things like intelligent design versus evolution, right, tell Joe is gonna piss off everyone. Right? So, so intelligent design is basically the idea that humans started out as humans, they did not evolve to humans were evolutions. Basically. We started it in a petri dish, you know, a little swamp and then eventually became humans over millennia. So what if humans were actually designed by a And I keep bringing this back. I'm sounding really like tinfoil hat. I apologize to everyone. But what if humans were dropped here as an experiment, or monkeys, or apes or chimps, if you will, we're here. And then they're like, hey, let's take our own DNA and take these bipedal organisms with arms, and let's combine it with our own DNA and just leave them here. And we're some lab experiment that they're checking in on us every now and then. Bob 47:28 Well, I think that's a definitely a common argument for a lot of technological advance. It's either the simulation argument or that, you know, we're the experiment of an alien race. But I don't know if that addresses or solves just because can does that mean we should kind of I think, which is the original premise of you know why we're talking about this, right? Kevin 47:56 Right. Oh, for sure. Because for me, this sounds like a James Bond. Movie plot at this point where you got the evil you know, the the antagonist is totally like building this genetically enhanced army or building a bio weapon, or God knows what the thing is, is I think this crisper thing is flirting with the hubris of humanity. And I think it's this innate thing that we have, especially as parents that we want to create life and you know, programmers want to create artificial intelligence, and you got the whole gamut of things. And it always comes back to what you said which is just because we can should we and I am on the fence at this point because I can see the potential good for it but I am right now the bad luck so overwhelming. How do you feel about it? Bob 48:48 Well, I think the bad looks so unknown, which makes it overwhelming, but I'm also super intrigued that I didn't think of this and you brought it up with the the AI the machine learning And then we can even tie this back to bad bias to, I can see it going toward analysis of data, ai determining what the perfect gene sequence looks like. And then the system of splice is done with crisper to get some one person to that point. And, you know, depending on the garbage that goes into that, ai analysis, the output could be terrible. Yeah, Kevin 49:33 we can end up with nothing but zombies, a bio weapon that just inadvertently kills everyone. Or we could end up with a great future. But the thing is, it's like, it's like counter terrorism, you have to account for the 99 things that they can do to hurt you and they only have to be successful once, right? So I look at this as going for the one thing or the few things that it looks like it could be good for. I also see that Listen, the downside of this and that I don't know if it really scares me yet because it's it's more academic papers and there's a couple cases out there at this point. But as they mentioned in one documentary in the 70s, they had okay computers, but they knew they would have better computers one day. Well, right. I think the same thing applies here. They have pretty okay technology with gene editing. Now, we know in the future, it'll probably only get better. Bob 50:31 Okay. Unknown Speaker 50:33 What do we forget? Bob 50:35 Well, I think it'd probably be a little bit remiss to not mention that I think we're both in agreement here that regardless of the outcome, I think the the technology itself, in the research that's, you know, been put into this, this problem that needs to be solved, apparently of, you know, splicing genes in figuring out that you could use a Protein x is a virus to basically do the work. It's pretty impressive. I mean, it's a very impressive Oh, Unknown Speaker 51:07 it like who who thinks of this shit. Kevin 51:08 I was reading some of the Wikipedia articles and trying to make sense of it. And I just said, I'm glad I'm a programmer. I'm not a biologist, because I don't know what's going on here. Bob 51:19 It feels like it crosses over into programming a little bit, though, with the, you know, the sequence and the wirings. And the knowing how do I like developing a technique for identification of the bad sequence, and then the replacement or the reorganization or removal of that sequence? It's just crazy. Kevin 51:38 Yeah, it's kind of like the chemical version of Find and Replace. Bob 51:43 Yeah, it's, Kevin 51:45 like you said, and that's and and for non programmers, programmers out there. regex is stands for regular expressions, and there's nothing regular about them. It's just a fancy way of pattern matching. Bob 51:55 No way. You could totally find the pattern in anything. So Kevin 52:00 I'm going to watch more of unnatural selection on Netflix because it's a little short series I haven't made it through all the way there's some good videos on YouTube regarding crisper and whatnot. I've probably pissed off science people can conservationist religious types, but I just wanted to do a kind of throw out there all the angles and definitely got in some chops for aliens are probably Bob 52:28 probably not putting that in the title but hey, and for anyone that's still listening, if you've got thoughts on this, interestingly, we got well Kevin because of course he puts all of his good tweets on his own Twitter account. Got some pretty good engagement on talking about that we were going to be talking about this on the show today. So if you did listen, obviously we gave this a 30,000 foot cuz Hey, we're not biologist be we're not scientists, but it's a technology topic that I think is There's gonna be more and more Unknown Speaker 53:02 brought to the forefront as these days tick by so let us know what you think on it, for sure. Kevin 53:09 All right, Bob, I think we're good to go. This is good, good, good stuff. I'm sure we'll have more to follow as the technology develops Unknown Speaker 53:17 and or as zombies approach my front door. Bob 53:22 Just Just remember kids don't give your DNA to any of the online stores for DNA and maybe don't modify it with it at home crisper kit. Unknown Speaker 53:33 Yeah, just say no kids.
