0:00 [Music] got some good news really what's up we need it you guys a fan of uh extinct animals yeah oh hell yeah like the dodo bird interesting they'll bring them where do you say that is that the cause you know what dota bird's so popular when you think of extinct animals that's the first thing i think of ████ dinosaurs but that's not that's not is that something okay dude you're going to call an amphibian or some ████ on me i'm not stupid i'm just saying i like ████ dinosaurs i do think of dinosaurs too okay thank you i know what's going on are they doing a re-release what is this a ████ shoe was it a dinosaur they found something fully intact and some ice yeah we covered that dinosaur oh mosquito with dinosaur blood in a mosquito on amber and then

0:51 the guy put it on a ████ cane and then they made a movie it is yeah it was a documentary documentary yeah i they absolutely are but for the dodo bird really they have now finished sequencing the dota bird's dna and they can bring it back why do we do ████ look man i don't want to get on a high horseshoe do it do it do it take my extinct horse get on that one but like we got like cancer and we got wars and we got all this stuff going on and these animals probably died for a reason that wasn't humans especially dodos did oh we killed them they got they got eaten too much they were like they were smart enough all right i'm an idiot but either way we still got cancer and they're also different departments the food department okay okay tony like ████

1:42 the football team has nothing to do with it has all the information it's not like they're talking about one group of scientists no but resources but resources and instead we're going to try to just ████ create life well that sounds kind of nice when you say it like that yeah i got away with words i agree with you where i feel like when was the last time adult alberto was alive like over 100 years who cares yeah i thought there was some dinosaur type ████ but if the airplanes killed him i'm way off 1662. can i see what they look like the reason why i disagree is because i agree with you thanks dude because uh it's been centuries right we have an evolved ecosystem and now you're bringing in a new predator a new place let's all replicate uh the play movies there's movies about this bring back uh we should bring it back let's bring up

2:33 kangaskhan and also the plague yeah all that we show it's like a one for once like you guys are gonna bring dodo bird back you better bring me a genghis khan at least so that sounds stupid but joking aside when do we draw the line who draws the line on what creature we can recreate but don't get used to drawings but don't you guys want to eat it because that's what i do that's why i like some duck i want to be his friend i think the reason i look at this fat ████ i want to eat it oh i think one of the reasons they feel compelled to bring it back is because humans are responsible for it oh humans are creations reparations but i'm sure we killed a lot of things wait what do we do so many things at all how many people big bad people when it got when they just got eaten yeah it's because like when they got to the island where the dodo bird is they never had a predator so they don't have any fears so when humans walk up to

3:23 it they're just chilling next to you and they're like they thought the birds were stupid because they never ran away so if they're hungry they grabbed them and then you know humans brought dogs they brought other animals and then they would you know basically colonize the island it's the tiger and life of pie with the meerkats if anybody remembers that also the dodo's environment that it was from is still in existence so they could just put it right back like the t-rex like the eco system they're scared that's a little different from a t-rex time yeah oh yeah yeah but i still but agree like joking aside why aren't we cloning ████ then and also if we're in global you gotta buy more heads wouldn't it be kind of hot for the dodo now that's a good point who cares for 400 seconds the environment it was from is still

4:13 sustainable i think that also means the dodo might be okay i do think we should bring back the delta bird because it's very notorious and we haven't even lived with it for like 400 years and it's a funny name that is pretty cool to bring it back though if all the people what if it's ████ up and none of us know what if it's racist by nature carries aids or some ████ they're going to bring it back with aids they're just going to put aids back what do we know like a racist donor what do we know how about we let the dodo bird come back it's hard to argue with that face when you're like what do we know we have a bunch of idiots they're gonna clone it and train it and put it back or how is that i don't know about training it's actually not decided yet if they're gonna do it but they just wanted to tell you that they can't high five five five what's up kimura kamura chimera that isn't that a mythical yeah i thought it's like when we when we mess

5:03 ████ oh like a snake's like a hybrid like a like a lynx no no like a liger like a light girl there have been ligers before not too but like human and like a human in a pig and they'd be cloning it in a little petri dish like a centaur yeah come yeah it would be like a beast made up of different parts the chimera had like wings but like a lion lion head or body or something that's a griffin no i think a griffin is a chimera i think a camera is like the oh yeah i think we do ████ like that all right what about a gargoyle that was a dope show yes sunset all right street sharks the sun's coming up also a dope show all right how did we make sure let's clone it all ████

5:54 i do believe in the two strike rule so if we bring this ████ back right and this ████ gets it extinct again nah two strike rule baseball you're too dumb to exist is that how you feel about pandas not wanting to breed if they get extinct and we bring them back and they get extinct again ████ them because they're not they're not horny enough yeah you killed all of us like we were in valhalla memories the memories aren't yeah everybody if it's that way like right when they're done he goes [Laughter] how about they don't bring back but they create creatures that we've been hearing about like the phoenix it's not so dangerous where's the dna

6:44 the dragon what is a female what the ████ is that a dragon it's a rapper isn't it a rapper i like dragons they look like dinosaurs okay first of all i think if we're gonna bring back something that we're clearly under it on the food chain maybe that's not a good idea that's what they were yeah that's why we're starting here yeah they were just people were dodo dragon what the ████ a dragon every time someone says it mike's like what the ████ it's a dragon correct yeah whoa whoa whoa whoa japanese we could do chinese dragons they don't eat humans yeah you ride them and ████ right i mean dragon balls you can good luck bro you ride them and ████ they grant you wishes yeah but they disappeared other like ████ frequencies and stuff so you might get lost i have another contingency yes we

7:34 bring these ████ back and we zoom up zoom up yeah all the zoos get lock them up they don't get one yeah with zooed up dodos don't mean like it tastes good then all of a sudden kfc is gonna mass breed him or something right oh a little fried dodo that's what i'm saying if it was a flavor profile that was like yo dodo it's crazy oh like ████ scriptures that we find and ████ like that the daughter was the tastiest of the ████ bird kingdom dodo nuggies tons of poo mommy bro they're like the truffles of ████ you know turducken

8:25 so that is what they said about uh dinosaurs when they were asked like why don't you do it with t-rexes and they were like because there's no habitat for them to live like they would just run amok but they thought about that how would they just frighten him stupid mammoth that would be cool oh you'd like that the woolly man was right don't they live in some ice aren't they herbivores yeah that's what i mean this is a harry elephant like they're so big brontosauruses ████ chewing up trees and walking all slow i think it's a long skull bear or something that's the one you want have you seen that those are crazy oh yeah it's extinct right the long nose right yeah long nose bear i think that ████ long skull same thing their skull is longer they pull up a picture of a long nose bear yeah they're like way bigger than that 15 feet yeah those ice age animals look crazy though humans ate a lot of woolly mammoth like that was their ████ that they changed yeah like the whole winner yeah

9:16 anthony to your point though what the ████ your brontosaurus i think we kill enough of our own trees we don't need no tree eaters yeah suddenly you're getting all righteous on me when you want to put ████ dodos and chains and ████ and shoes right away i'm not in chains just zoom up dude with nice little ceilings okay what other animal that could you could bring back from the past that you would zoo up i mean that's the whole dragon yeah that's literally the dragon you ever seen the glyptodon what's up is that what that is no that's definitely an animator that's definitely still a thing it's uci's mascot that's my penis yeah yeah it looks like that they got to bring back saber-toothed tigers it doesn't yeah oh that'd be tight are you sure it's called long nose bear all the power

10:09 how about i just go through extinct bears have you seen the giant sasquatch looking ones the big giant is bigfoot will we bring him back oh yeah bring him back gigantopithecus that thing again it's epithecus have you seen those those are 15 feet and dope here's a good scale jefferson's grand sloth a dire wolf dyer sure yeah that's sick there's a short face bearing well there's a camera a western cat that's what it is giant slime we're so fun concave face bear a hagerman horse you see that's half zebra half horse that's cool he's searching something damn dude we used to have camels yeah were you looking at pokemon yeah he's like dude we should definitely bring back charmanders let's bring it back and see no man see let's let's do that let's make pokemon what about insane that'd be tight that'd be tight yeah the horror movie where

10:59 they accidentally ████ up is it this ████ yeah oh yeah bro look at that whoa that thing is huge no let's not bring it that bad it's not a sloth we do not need to bring that back it's an extinct bear that uh knows bear short short nose short face shirt it's called short nose but his nose is long dude it's the irony during the ice age there was way way bigger ████ animals right but then there was humans too it's way better than clubs but the humans weren't bigger bring back the animals the weapons of like i heard they're actually similar size i heard it's a big myth that we were so small did you hear that from an anthropologist yeah no you did it [Music]
