Back from Extinction! Parks & Rec Turns 15 & Hot Honey Haters Unite | HWP 716

This week on Hardly Working, SP and Kellie dive into a WILD mix of history, science, and unpopular opinions—from de-extinct dire wolves (yes, you read that right) to the timeless TV debut of Parks and Rec and a heated take on pockets in dresses 😬.

🗓 That Happened Today?! – April 9

• ⚔️ 1865: General Lee surrenders, ending the American Civil War.
• 🏛 2003: Baghdad falls and Saddam Hussein is ousted.
• 🎬 Film Releases: Never Been Kissed (1999), The Girl Next Door (2004), Ella Enchanted (2004)
• 📺 TV Premiere: Parks and Recreation (2009) enters our hearts and our memes.
• 🖤 In Memoriam (2021): Prince Philip and DMX

🐺 Dire Wolves Are Back?!
Colossal Biosciences just birthed 3 living dire wolf pups using DNA from fossils, CRISPR editing, and dog surrogates. The pups’ names? Romulus, Remus, and Khaleesi.
This opens the door to reviving the woolly mammoth—but what happens when we start playing Jurassic Park IRL?

🌯 World Records & Fast Takes:

• A 14-year-old holds a world athletics record—what were you doing at 14?
• Also, Chipotle's Burrito Vault is done, but Burger King still owes you onion rings.

🔥 Unpopular Opinions:
👗 Dresses shouldn’t have pockets.
🍯 Hot honey is overrated.
🧼 Showers need real soap.
🧸 Stuffed animals should be normalized (even for grownups).
🙊 People who don’t gossip are the weird ones.
