Young Hollywood

Dang. Okay, well we're excited to talk to you today about Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous. I say it right, Cretaceous, right? I studied that.

Guest

So like repeating the That's us with every dinosaur name they give us in the script. Like constant like, wait, am I getting this right? It's even just the inflection on some things like like uh when like we've all had to say Islan Nubar multiple times. And sometimes instead of Nubar, it'll be Nubar. So the emphasis would be on the you instead of the blar. Or when we said T-Rex, uh it would be T-Rex instead of T-Rex. So

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Got to get it right. Got it they know what's up. You got to get it right. So, I never thought about like all the dinosaur names you guys were going to have to pronounce.

Guest

Oh yeah. Yes.

Young Hollywood

What's your favorite one to love to pronounce?

Guest

For me, if if it's okay for me to go first. Uh, mine was probably uh, Paracerolophus because it was it was somehow the easiest to say and the hardest to spell. Second guest: I saw us for me, which is Bumpy. So, Ankylosaurus was really cute. You'll see we get to say that a lot in the first season. So.

Young Hollywood

Ankylosaurus. Yeah. I got it. Look at me. You're already you're already a dinosaur expert. Put me in the show. Put me in the show. I can do it.

Guest

He's ready. Second guest: Well, I I I kind of have like a big problem with saying any of them. Even like I I luckily I could just say Bumpy a lot instead of saying like the scientific name because um, I always need to be reminded on how to say them. So I guess Oh yeah. Here. Pterodactyl or Pteranodon or Something like that.

Young Hollywood

If you say this was like transformed into real life. What's one of the scenes that you'd want to live out and act out in real life?

Guest

None of the ones involving dinosaurs. I can tell you guys I can tell you guys that right now. Well, other than other than maybe um, the one that I would want to live out with dinosaurs is probably the lab scene. Um, it's well, I mean, one of the many lab scenes. One of the lab scenes specifically. But um, the reason I love it so much is because uh, from watching dinosaurs hatch to befriending Bumpy, which is now my like one of my favorite dinosaurs. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen since the cat that lives in my house. Um. Second guest: Say uh, the gyrospheres are really cool, and they're really fun. So I would love to Even though we did get to see that in Jurassic World, um, I would love to see our campers get to experience that in real life. Because you get to see the dinosaurs from a safe distance.

Guest

I'd probably backpack on Rainey's answer cuz it's it's cool when not a couple times you get your run with like herds of dinosaurs and I think seeing that would be very cool.

Young Hollywood

Well, it's a legend you guys literally are making history with the show. It's amazing that you guys are in this Jurassic World, the next like the next thing for them. So cool.
