Bird Mania, Strongboys, and Tunnel Bears

New video!  It's been stuck in demonetization limbo for like a million years for reasons that are mysterious to me, but now we're finally ready to go.

This idea has been on the books for a very long time, and for 95% of that time it was internally referred to simply as "the Weird Shit video."  That's basically what it is.  Just an excuse to get distracted by some fun, weird stuff that would probably get cut for time under normal circumstances.  I hope people like it, because it was a blast to research.

Speaking of which, as I type this, I'm basically drowning in Roman Civil War research and lovin' it.  There's some other things in the pipeline too, so... lots of exciting stuff on the horizon.  

I'll probably release this video to the public next Monday, so... go nuts!

Enjoy!

Well if I ever get a greyhound I now know what I'm going to call her

I love your videos. I hope you can cover Roman periods besides the Civil War period. There is so much on that period already on Youtube. I want to learn more about late imperial/pre-byzantine times.

Tom Bradley

One of your most comical videos by far

Brandon

It is also not fair that Claudius' bilingual dictionary of Etruscan/Latin is lost.

Please post a video on the Roman Civil War soon!

Strongboi is best boi. Do you ever think that modern memes are just the rediscovery of memes long ago invented, worn out and decommissioned, then were lost to the sands of time?

"All your base are belong to us" is an accurate summary of all Bronze Age diplomacy. ... ...oh God, I thought I was joking, but it might actually be true...

Tunnel Bear is the old(er) version of the Honey Badger meme
