John Batiste is such a style master. Love his outfits and look.

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).

[@LaurieH57]

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.

[@pechaa]

I agree - the drawing was weird. Come on, graphics people!

[@arctic_haze]

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

[@arctic_haze]

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.

[@LaurieH57]

@Arctic Haze, yep. It’s the “without thinking” part. :(

[@rugby_jtizzle]

I’m pretty sure they purposely made the cave people white cuz it’s Utah. Like it was part of the joke to make it funnier cuz we all know white people were not originally here,.
