Im so glad im stoned
Trash science
All lies
Have Done is absolutely right !!!
Bro, stop using paid AI to fact check your guest on issues they are experts in. It's cringe AF and is a deal breaker… Keep doing that trash and your followers are going to stop watching…
The auction record has been beaten since this episode aired. 50 Millie's !!
This guy found what he loves. Good luck to him.
I've watched this in its entirety three times. Back for round four. This guy is so fun.
Loved listening to this..brilliant and very informative
Ive listened to this podcast over 5 times and i still come back to listen to it. Please have this man back on please 🙏
I’m on a mission to watch every possible video of Dave Hone talking about dinosaurs. He speaks so passionately and I just adore listening to him talk. What an awesome guy ❤
An Asian chick just sold one for $50 000 000 recently
Very interesting interview, thank you
Loved this episode, loved the guest!
Are the eyes not in the right place? Predatory animals have the eyes facing forwards for parallax view, prey have their eyes on the side, no?
Yeah this guy is probably the best Dino guy out there as far as telling tale …dropping knowledge
i love dave hone so much, actual goat
2:21:40 shows how little he understands the world of CGI and how “models” are developed. It’s like he thinks they are all made by the same people lol
I WANT MORE VISUALS IN THIS ONE! Such a fun interview! Lex you are top tier and Dave is awesome! Bravo!
This was a great one! Arch predators xD
It’s funny how many paleontologists criticize the Jurassic park thing, but don’t acknowledge that Crichton addresses this issue in the books… Malcolm specifically addresses it. So does Muldoon, if I remember correctly.
if you that big you have to move quick just to sustain yourself makes sense that they were insanely fast.
I thought they had feathers 🪶
Yes, the exhibits you sold for millions in exchange for what you call money to so-called "rich" brainless monkeys. Such exhibits include Sue and parts of Tyrannosaurus rex that museum directors sold as if they owned them, only to replace them with cheap plastic replicas. I will not visit any museum to look at fake ten-dollar models of what you proudly call dinosaurs.
this is the best dinosaur podcast ive ever listened to ngl
💥This was an absolutely fantastic conversation. Thank you very much to both of you. I've always loved learning about the past. This was super fun👌🎉
25:40:00. Years ago while hiking in the High Sierra of California we happened upon a small meadow being fed by a waterfall and brook above a lake. In the meadow we found a small pool with mud banks. All around this pool were cat prints both large and small. Either lion and cubs or lion and bobcat. As I looked at the prints contemplating when they were made I noticed things moving in the pool – 4 to 5 inch tadpoles. It dawned on me, this is what a 90 to 180 pound mountain lion is feeding on – little tadpoles (among other things).
Wishing manifestation works and is real.
Surely his book should be called Sherlock Bones.
Amazingly boring and monotonous host.
Modelling of extinct animals running seems to have ignored bariatrics pressure when making speed and endurance movement calculations ✌️❤️🇬🇧

Just have to praise this video, as someone who suffers from misophonia ( yes, it's real ) this was heaven. Not a single "thinking sound" aka the "uhmmm.., LOUD tshk" which EVERY person seems to do nowadays. See, it IS possible to just talk normally and don't have to release build up pressure every 20 seconds. So many video's with super interesting topics and I just cannot listen to these people for more than a minute.
Dinosaurs get weirder the more you think about them. They were really out there back then.
These podcasts have improved my commute and made it something not only more enjoyable but also educational.
7 tons? Im seeing estimates that the largest could approach 13 tons. I think 10-11 is probably mpre accurate
