Fortunately, the I Know Dino! podcast hosts are here to parse dino-fact from dino-fiction and dig into the incredible history of paleontology along the way. .

Hey people!Its Chickdyie here!do you know the story behide your dogo name? If yes, comment down below! Ok, this is my story: I like chickens(not cooked but alive) and i like how things end with a 'ie' soooo, i thought for a long time and i finally came out with chickdyie! Also please follow me , i want to reach 20 followers! Huge thanks to those who have followed me already! I will follow you if you follow me! If i havent followed yet, it means i am not online, so please be patient. Thanks! Chickdyie out!

My story behind my dogo name @springsunny, bc spring is sooo beautiful with sun all over the world ! I think I followed ya!

Hi! That is cool about your username. I made my username because I love tech and I LOVE fashion! Plus, the 0315, if you combine the numbers, it is the year I was born, 2009!

I named myself basketball anime i am in basketball and love basketball anime

Mine is creamyblueberry because I like blueberries! Sure I'll follow you :)

Hey!! My dogo name is very boring, it's literally just my middle name and my lucky number :) I love the story behind yours, thats so funny!! I'm already following you, have a great day!!

That's cool! A couple of my friends came up with "Celebang" a while ago. They love Lord of the Rings and it means "silver dragon" in Tolkien's Elvish.

This was more of a coincidence, but when I realized, it was pretty cool. My zodiac sign is a virgo, and the corresponding planet is actually Mercury. Thanks for the great question!

Actually I'm not really sure how I came up with my dogo name! I guess, well, I really want to be a doctor and that's my dream, my dad would always say that I can reach it, so I guess that's how. I also hope you reach 20 and more followers!!

Ooh, that's such an interesting story on yours! I like The Babysitters Club-BSC for short (Original ones, btw) and decided to call myself that.

Oh! I love the original BSC books too! Aren't they so great?

My username is tomandjerry because I LOVE Tom and Jerry!

I never knew that. Clever name then! I am already following you, but I hope you reach your goal! P.S. I like "Chickdyie out!" Super funny!

@techfashion0315, how did your contest on March 1 go? I'm very curious :). Thanks!

Thanks for wondering! I really appreciate that. So, it got rescheduled to the March 15 and will end on March 29. It is super hard (it is tech related) but I think I might be able to figure out all the challenges before the end date. Thanks again for wondering. I really am touched by your thoughtfulness!

Hi everyone! Do you guys know what Battle Of the Books, or BOB is? If you didn't, it's a book competition (I think it's throughout the US) and my school is doing it. I'm in it, and it's really fun. There are 2 grade categories for elementary school, 3 grade and 4-5 grade. I'm in 4-5 grade, so yeah. There is a list of 36 books you can read (for 3rd grade there's onlt 15 I think) and you have to read at least 15 of them to compete in the battle. The battle is coming up! I am so excited and for now I have read the most books out of everyone else! 26 books! Comment below if you know anything about this. I'd love to hear! Have a good day! 😀📚

I've actually never heard of that before! But I have been in a summer reading program/ competition before, where you have to read the most books out of everyone.... I think, it's been awhile!

That sounds so cool, but I've not heard much about it. Wishing you luck!

I've heard about it before and would love to find a team to do it with.

Sorry I meant only, not onlt. 🤣🤣

Hello! I have a question for ya'll! Do you like plane rides? If so, why? If not, why? My answer: I don't like plane rides, because I get plane sick and my ears pop like crazy!! And this summer I'll be on a plane (which I am dreading, but not the destination!) Ok, have a super awesome rest of the day!.....or night?

I excatly afraid of heights so i`ll be fine if you don`t look down... this fall i`ll take an plane ride to different state but I forgot which... but I LOVES planes rides! because I can see birds and clouds when we go in the high in the sky!

Cool!! I'm not exactly afraid of heights but I don't LOVE it either...

Hello @dream_beyond! I do like them but the thing is I also don't because I get worried that the plane will crash.....😶

My mom works for an airline, so I've been flying on planes my whole life at least 3 times a year! I really don't mind it either way, although sitting in the airport when there is a delay is pretty annoying. I do, however, get seasick, so my recommendation for you is to get motion sickness wristbands. They are tight black bracelets that go on each wrist and they have a spot that presses on an acupunture point on the inside of your wrist to relieve nausea. They really work! Also, chewing gum helps a punch if your ears keep popping!

Thanks for the tips! Also, that's really cool that your mom works for an airline!

Honestly, yes I do!! Unpopular opinion, ik, my brother and sister both hate planes because they get sick but I don't, and I love to watch out the window until I get a headache, and then I can just chill and watch a movie!!

lol! And you are so lucky that you don't get sick!

And btw you have a great day too :)

I've flown business class once, and it was pretty cool. They have some nice snacks usually, but overall I don't enjoy planes. I also find it near impossible to sleep on board. Have fun this Summer!

I've never been in Business Class before! Lucky!

Neither have I. I have been in first-class though, because my dad used to travel a lot for his work.

Hi, @dream_beyond! I used to like plane rides until I read a book about September 11th. I guess I got a little freaked out and so I never went on another plane ride. But I am with you, my ears pop like crazy too! I hope you have fun this summer on your trip. Where ya goin'?

That happens to me. When I hear about something scary that can happen, I get freaked out.

I do too. I am a very easily disturb person. I think that is why I HATE Halloween.

Back to the US!!! You might think whaaa?? But I moved to Germany from the US, that's why. We're just visiting.

Oh, really? Germany is a pretty neat place to visit. Glad you are coming back to the States. (That is where I am. New York, to be specific.)

I am okay with plane rides, but don't love them. I get sick, but try using Dramamine- it works AMAZING!! It is kind of boring, but I get to watch movies and eat candy so, yeah.😂

Same, I also get sick. I am also allowed to eat candy and watch however many movies I want (but only on plane rides am I allowed to go on Unlimited mode😂)!

1. They are ok. I like to go on them for trips! Not voluntarily tho.
