    "We are much closer in time to a T-Rex than a T-Rex was to a Stegosaurus" That really put things in perspective for how massive a time span dinosaurs were around
  • @berouja
    The way his eyes lighted up when he mentioned that a dinosaur was named after him is so precious 👌✨
  • @JOJO-yd7qs
    He seems like a genuinely nice person to be around. No wonder he has a dinosaur named after him.
  • "Since when were pterodactyls not dinosaurs?" "Since ever" That is probably one of the greatest answers
  • 5:22 "We are much closer in time to a T-Rex, than the T-rex was to a Stegosaurus." To me, that is one of the coolest facts ever. The timescale we are talking about is mindboggling.
  • @mathildakd1
    It is amazing how he reads out these names and the funnily phrased questions without a hint of judgement and then answers them in such a great way.
  • @kefkaZZZ
    Can we PLEASE get more of this guy!!! He answers what sound like telling questions with real enthusiasm. I love how he doesn’t flinch at names like “godstiddies” or several other funny ones.
  • @divaalfirman3295
    The biggest mystery is how this man is able to say read all these ridiculous Twitter handles out loud with a straight face 😂😂
  • @queercandy1
    the "cw//dinosaurs" is absolutely killing me
  • @easternag16
    As a person who loves paleontology and prehistoric animals, this guy was great lol. You guys need him back on
  • @Sashimiburger
    I love how idiotic some of these questions are phrased only to be met with a wonderfully eloquent and insightful answer.
  • @HaraldinChina
    the way he factually states "the world is a sphere" makes you feel like he's heard even weirder statements before and this is just another misconception he corrects 😅
  • @lenkajilek2050
    PLEASE PLEASE WE NEED A WHOLE SERIES WITH THIS LOVELY KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN! HE IS A DELIGHT!!!
  • I like how it's visible that Hans actually loves talking about this stuff. You guys should invite him more often.
  • @TheMassgames
    I love this series, the experts are not judgemental and very professional.
  • @Julia-lk8jn
    This man is just oozing knowledge and enthusiasm without a hint of arrogance to him. You gotta love somebody who is happy to be immortalized via a a small bone-headed dinosaur! And his answer to how a meteorite would affect the entire globe is amazingly respectful, as well as chilling.
  • I love hearing him sound so professional even pronouncing people’s funny usernames lol You can tell palaeontology is a fun job! ^^
  • The only peeve about this video is that it's WAY too short! He is very entertaining, knowledgeable, and easy to listen to!
