I miss Evie! You guys should do a weekly segment with her. Either a full episode of just you two, or even a small segment in meanwhile. You two are just way too cute together and it's lovely to see.

[@tselengbotlhole750]

Nah!!! I missed the audience 😊😊

[@Surge1077]

An occasional video (maybe a Friday offering) with Evie would be welcome. She was a treat during quarantine(while).

[@dianeshelton9592]

Depends what Evie want to do. I got the feeling she was happy to provide support when he needed it but otherwise doesn’t want the attention

Native Americans lived (and still live) in Utah 12,000 years ago. Yes, they used tobacco ritually. This is not actually surprising. What’s surprising to me is that the show used an illustration of while people, not Natives. That was wrong.

True but I think they used a generic "artistic impression of cavemen" without thinking.

I found it. It was painted by Tancredi Scarpelli, a pre-war Italian artist specializing in historic illustrations. The title is "The original Italians. The cavemen". So definitely not Native Americans.
