Greetings from sunny Porto, Portugal my good deathlings!
I arrived here feeling a little discombobulated and stressed from several months of hard adulting in Los Angeles. But then, maybe it's the weather, the FOOD, the architecture, the magical coworking space I've been camped at for hours ...

Hello Deathlings!
One of the things that always surprises people when I tell them about my YouTube work, is how long it takes to make one, long-form video. I think a lot of people hear the words "You" and "Tube" and assume it's all fast, furious, and unscripted.
Which for ...

Hello Deathlings!
Here is one of those stories that I'd heard bits and pieces of over the years and it wasn't until I sat down and really read about it that I was like, "How can we NOT do a video on this?"
It's like it's ripped straight from a John Grisham novel. Or maybe Saul G...

Hello Deathlings!
Sometimes you research a video and, despite how tragic or shocking it is, you find a way to take a step back and not get overwhelmed with the emotion of it all. Frankly, it allows my team and me to keep telling these stories year in and year out.
But this was n...

Hello Deathlings!
How are these early days of spring treating you? Are you in a place that's warming up? Cooling down? Still buried in snow?
Today I enjoyed what can only be described as a "Goldilocks Iced Coffee". It was not too sweet, not too strong, I nailed the dairy-alternative s...

We have a special Patron-Only video for you today. I don't want to yammer on about it in this post, but in case you missed the New York Times article I'm talking about in the video, you can find a link to it right 2022-04-15 17:06:30 +0000 UTC View Post

I always perk up when I hear tell of local mummies – I suspect you do, too. I hope you enjoy this *Patron Exclusive* video about the mummified German children of the Yucatán.

Let me take you back to the year 2020. Who can remember that far back? hahahahahahah weep

Today in the vlog– a little honesty, a little vulnerability, a little anti-work screed, a little tussle with my gut microbiome.
Intrigued? It's ok if you're not. But when you're done watching paint dry, have I got the car confessional vlog for you!
As always, thank you ...

Hello Deathlings,
Anybody here ever been to Hudson Yards or Vessel in NYC?
(The Hudson Yards website says "Vessel" not "the Vessel" as in, "Let's meet at Vessel!" The press largely says "the Vessel" but I thought I'd give JUST VESSEL a try and then give a too-long explanation ab...

Good Day Deathlings,
Welcome to the first main channel video of 2022!

Hello Deathlings!
Welcome to your Patron-only video. What a tale we have for you today.

Hello Deathlings!
How's the fall treating you so far?
I'm currently hunkered down at the old Doughty homestead in Hawaii. We're not huge Thanksgiving people, but we are food motivated people so somewhere in the coming days there will be victuals.

I'll be honest, before this video I'd never thought a lot about Rhode Island.

Hello Deathlings!
The best part about shooting these documentary-style videos is that I get to really hunker down with a story and live with it. With that, comes a chance to really spend time with any people we interview. And when that person is already a dear friend, even better!

Today we bring you one of my favorite corpse capers. The story of D.H. Lawrence – his life, his death, his burial, and his "burial" are just so unexpectedly bizarre.
I mean, is this common knowledge amongst casual DHL fans?
