0:41.9	Hello and welcome to I Know Dino. I'm Garrett.
0:42.8	And I'm Sabrina.
0:50.7	And today in our 477th episode, we have what might be the biggest news of the year.

But before we get into all of that, as always, I like to thank some of our patrons. And this week, we have 10 new patrons to thank. I don't know if that's ever happened before where every patron was a new patron.
2:02.7	I don't think so. That's amazing. It is. And a little bit of behind the scenes information,
2:10.1	all of the episodes that we've released for the last few weeks were pre-recorded. So some of these
2:15.1	people joined a little while ago. So we have some catching up to do.
