| 0:42.0 | I'm Garrett. |
| 0:42.7 | And I'm Sabrina. |
| 0:55.7 | This week in our 272nd episode, we have a bunch of news, including a possible reason why some dinosaur groups didn't get as massive as others, as well as some new dinosaur attractions and other news. We also have Dinosaur of the Day, Tilocephalae, and of course, our fun fact. |
