You may have noticed the lack of videos on YouTube lately. Between, ArchaeoBaby practicing walking, illness and our rental house going up for sale - things have been wild. However, I have continued to upload to Patreon. Check out the free videos and maybe consider getting a trial to see what else I’ve been cooking up.

Went ahead and shared one of the “Too Hot for YouTube” shorts from my Patreon on YouTube and it blew all of my other shorts out of the water. I’m glad my viewers care about Blackbeard’s syphilis treatment as much as I do.
