Host Matthew Donald and guest co-hosts the De Papier brothers from Matt’s other show The Writ Wit discuss Brontotherium, a creature almost certainly called Megacerops instead but we needed another genus for Bronto Month so we’ll use the outdated name. It’s not misinformation if we outright state its erroneousness! From the Late Eocene, this 16-foot perissodactyl roamed the American scrublands and rammed each other with their horns as fossil evidence seems to suggest. Ouch. Sounds about as painful as this hastily-done episode. And yes, this episode was 100% improvised, why do you ask?
