You shaving and talking about decapitation at the same time definitely incited some anxiety in me.

[_chpset]

The entire time I'm like, "you're gonna cut yourself shaving like that"

[yrtepgold]

I love how you reinforced the main point of the video by shaving your neck while talking about long necks. Very memorable, well done.

[disnecessaurorex]

I'm counting this as a thirst trap

[martinedwards]

Giraffes are looking at each other and saying, “Do you see a problem? I don’t see a problem.”

Thirst traps that are also science videos are the type of content I didn't know I needed, but now I definitely do need more of

[TragoudistrosMPH]

I really want to know how flexible their necks are!

How did they use them!?!?

[lga]

dude has to run to his side-side-side hustle

[Martial-Mat]

The fact that no long necked marine reptiles now tells me that the benefits were not great enough to ensure their survival.

I am loving these home-office Eons shorts from y'all, very fun and engaging.

Man talks about decapitation while shaving. That's metal AF. 😂

[dovelay]

Science daddy is now thirst baiting us into learning 😂

[squilbobaggins]

I'm watching a ruggedly handsome man shave while teaching me about dinosaurs with big, stupid necks. How did my life come to this?

[timapiepgrass]

Who's idea was it to have him shaving 😂 well done!

[fartemisfartmallow]

I love how he’s shaving his neck and talking about decapitation.

[rai]

This feels like when I was little getting ready in the morning with my dad and him telling me stories 😂😂

[mollusckscramp]

POV: Your nerdy paleontologist hubby doing his morning routine💕

[donaldwert]

That "Ow" at the end, though.

[Morfeusm]

Cool format! Who said presenters need to stand or sit, my favorite shorts are people saying interesting things while doing stuff! 👍

[fennydantom]

The grind never stops. Dude literally shaving and still dropping knowledge.
