… naked Navy personnel on horseback firing bazookas. Damn that's a fine sentence.
Not the same without Simon. 😕
This was top notch peoples! Cheers.
Someone has presented clothes to Simon.
As a show on the mesozoic you should know that T-Rex vs. Spinosaurus is basically a set of Vice-Grips vs. Needle-nose pliers
As a child on the family farm we had a Goose protecting the chickens that Everyone was afraid of, it took a plug out of my great-grandfathers leg, it once Bum-Rushed a Hawk which had jumped a chicken and destroyed it, the chicken survived.
Tyrant Lizard Kings was also the name of a local band when I was young 🙂
A very interesting desert.
global warming is a hot topic for dumb stooges, along with the other hot topic of racism
"I crossed the Gobi desert to be free and now I thought I live in a country where I can say what I believe and have my freedom to think. However, now I have to constantly censor my speech because in the name off a 'safe place.'"
— Park Yeon-mi
Can we please get Simon back, this guy is just not a good fit
hm… sorry, but Simon is better. 🫤
Can you do a 5-minute version?
Anyone find the video on desert sounds he mentioned?
As much as I appreciate educational videos like these what pisses me off is that the Leftists always identify someplace that virtually NO ONE will ever go (e.g. the Arctic, Antarctica, THE GOBI DESERT) as some existential threat to humanity. Because it's very difficult for the average person to call them out as liars.
Is city 404 named thus because it can no longer be found?
Fun Fact: Close Encounters of the Third Kind had an early scene where a ship was found in the middle of the Gobi, presumably put there by the aliens.
Seriously??? Smallwood?
Karl seems to be growing into the tangent shoes that Simon left. He’s almost there!
Fantastic improvement in diction. I can now watch at 2x again without any loss in comprehension! Great job Karl. Thank you for listening.
Those tangents are reaching legendary levels
I want more dinosaurs!!!
