Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Brachytrachelopan, the "long"-neck dinosaur with severe anatomical inadequacy issues. From the Late Jurassic period, this 30-foot sauropod has such a short neck that the innuendos write themselves. Make sure this guy doesn't meet Mamenchisaurus, or he'll feel real insecure!

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Christina Eilert discuss Mammuthus, the proper genus name of the woolly mammoth. From the Late Pleistocene, this 12-foot-tall fuzzy elephant was the unofficial mascot of the Ice Age and survived beyond the construction of the Pyramids of Giza. For real.

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Dreadnoughtus, the titanic lumberer that might have been the biggest dinosaur ever, but who knows really? From the Late Cretaceous, this 100-foot sauropod fear very little. In fact, getting it to dread would be for naught. Ohhhhh, Dreadnoughtus, I get it!

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Allen Brooks discuss Amargasaurus, the spiky longneck that would be real fun at New Year's Eve parties. From the Early Cretaceous, this 35-foot sauropod was a real pain in the neck to predators...literally! That is, Amargasaurus's neck was literally a pain to predators. It makes sense.

Merry Christmas! Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Santanaraptor, the primitive tyrannosaurid that's named after the Santana region in Brazil but has "Santa" at the beginning so we're doing it for the holidays. From the Early Cretaceous, this 4-foot theropod is sure to be a big help for the jolly ol' elf this season! Somehow. Who knows how.

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Megaloceros, the Ice Age reindeer on steroids. From the Late Pleistocene, this 12-foot deer was one of the most majestic creatures of its day, if you don't count the woolly mammoth, or the woolly rhino, or the cave bear, or the cave lion, or the cavemen. You know, the first modern humans.

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Nasutoceratops, the Triceratops relative with the horns of a bull, and that's no bull. Or another, better joke. From the Late Cretaceous period, this 15-foot ceratopsian rammed its way through the competition of its time, and that wuddn't no rodeo.

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Stephen Curro discuss Stegosaurus, the famous spiked herbivore with giant things growing on its back, except not in the gross way. From the Late Jurassic, this 30-foot-long dinosaur sashayed its spikes and plates as it strutted across the fern prairies, while skewering the snot out of Allosaurus legs.

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-hosts Christina Eilert and Jake Chapman discuss Arthropleura, the car-sized millipede that's all kinds of nope. From the Late Carboniferous, this 13-foot arthropod terrorized the coal swamps of old and the nightmares of new. Except it was an herbivore, so it didn't really terrorize the swamps, but definitely still the nightmares.

Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Giganotosaurus, the meat-eater bigger than T. rex except maybe they were the same size except maybe Giganotosaurus was a little longer. From the Late Cretaceous, this 42-foot theropod terrorized the Argentinian wilds back in the day, possibly even eating the Argentinian dinosaur Argentinosaurus! Whoa, Argentina!
