I did OK when he was talking about the actual time periods (Permian, Triassic) and the fossils he found. I found his stories of his expeditions not very interesting, even though he seemed to think so. I guess you could argue that he is showing us what paleontaligical field work is like, but I really didn't need his opinion of the first time he ate in Tucson.
