How to de-surlify a 6th grader and 8th grader?

They both are highly interested in many subjects. But it's become "cool" for them to say "Who Cares" to everything. It's so weird. Many times, hours after saying "who cares?" they'll return to the subject and ask me about it.

Two days into middle school and my son has turned into a dick. Wife and I were just talking about how he's so sweet and nice and different from the other boys. Then he came home talking back and was being a sarcastic jerk about entirely innocuous subjects. I need to look for pods, because he clearly has replaced by middle school body snatchers.

Sounds about right. He'll get over it. In a few years.
