Let's uncrate an adventure today!
Hey, here's Scott, hanging out at, frickin'
PaleoFest! What're ya doin', buddy?
Hey Scott! We're here with Scott! We totally
just guerrilla interviewed him here, so we're
here. So what do you wanna know, Scott? You
ask me questions.
Where'd you get your bowtie?
Where'd I get the bowtie? Bill Nye the Science
Guy.
Ah, good answer.
E-mail him and he'll tell ya.
Good. Alright, how much did it cost ya?
He gave it to me as a gift because I'm a good
friend of his.
Okay, alright.
Yeah.
Cool, cool.
Well, anyway, Scott, you excited about PaleoFest?
I know you been doing this since the beginning,
right?
Well, mostly from the beginning, but yeah,
it's fun, it's good to be back. Who knows
what's gonna happen over the next day or two.
Yeah?
I might get interviewed by some other puppet.
Maybe, you never kno-- Wait, there's another
puppet here?
You never know.
Well, you tell me where he's at, I'll take
care of him, alright?
So, Scott, tell me what's your favorite part
about PaleoFest?
My favorite part about PaleoFest is the fact
that, unlike other scientific conferences/conventions,
there's a nice melding of general public and
researchers, students, and so you get kind
of a melting pot of ideas and cross-pollination
of hypotheses, questions being asked, enthusiasm.
If you go to a big conference and you want
to talk to a Mark Norell, or a Jack Horner,
or a Mary Schweitzer, someone like that, there
might be a long line of students that want
to talk to that person.
Oh yeah, definitely a long line, for sure.
And here you can just walk right up to them,
sit right down next to them and tell them,
"I think that your idea is wrong, and let
me tell ya why."
Yeah, I don't know if I'd want to do that,
buddy.
Oh, I do it to Phil (Currie) all the time.
Oh, yeah? That's okay, we expect it from you,
Scott, we expect it from you.
So, yeah, Thomas Holtz is here, huh?
Oh, yep, Thomas Holtz, a tyrannosaur expert.
He's, I think we was, as a kid, actually tried to legally change his name to Tyrannosaurus rex.
Oh, really?! That's a good one...did he do
it?
Well, no, because his name is Thomas Holtz.
Oh. Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense,
yeah, okay. Scott, thank you for your time,
buddy, I really appreciate it.
Thank you, have fun.
Yeah, definitely, thank you, and enjoy this
weekend, buddy, I can't wait to learn about
dinos.
Yep, you too.
Alright, later buddy.
See ya.
