Doug, that was beautiful. Oscar-worthy, I daresay. You might be a man of few words, but those words never fail to make a grown make like me weep with tears of joy and inspiration.

The only thing that gets me through the week is knowing that Doug will show up and shine his lovely essence upon us

[DaVideoGameBeastr]

Doug is a meme in the scientific community, a good meme.

"Back to Doug in the studio."
"Thank..."
😆

[Yezpahr]

Priceless additions to the video from Doug, what would Ben be doing without the mastermind of the show?

[ZeFroznne]

Rousing speech as always, Doug! 😆

This channel really wouldn't be the same without Doug. Like always, his parts are incredible. Absolutely brought a tear to my eye

That’s cool!
I’ve got dozens of stone size fossils I found while getting excavations done just at the foothill of a dormant volcano once an estuary 1200ft below the mountain and my property is 400ft ASL

Its prolly where they got the idea for that big fish guy who lives in the sea and had a big trident -- by looking at trilobites

[spamton.S.Spamtong.]

starting to think trilobites were actually an advanced civilization before extinction

[hotbutcold]

I like how the guy can't even get a single word in the intro.

[chairshoe]

trilobites were just little battle bots

[Kitsaplorax]

Will uncinate processes become a diagnostic feature for archosaur respiration and descent? If so, does it suggest more efficient respiratory processes and faster metabolism?

[hollyodii]

Efficient! Trilobites are always full of surprises!

Nice find on the Trilobites I've always like them so it's cool to find something new about them
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
