Hey podcast listeners, Jesse here with a mini episode of Bullseye. There's one thing that I really

wanted to to Ren Wessler about that I couldn't fit into this week's show and I wanted to make sure

all of you heard it. Ren will explain it on the tape. Here it is on cut. I want to ask you

about the Museum of Jurassic Technology. This is something that you wrote about it in this new book

and of course wrote wrote an entire book about called Mr. Wilson's Cabinet of Wonders.
