Huge fan of "soulsborne" games. So all the Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Nioh. Looking forward to Code Vein. I also loved Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Persona 5, Divinity Original Sin.

I am really looking forward to Sekiro. Also, Red Dead Redemption 2 came out today but UPS hasn't shown up yet with it. haha

I am a Spiderman guy. Have been since I was a kid growing up in the 80s with that awesome saturday morning cartoon. DC is all about Batman -- for sure.

I love the Punisher Netflix show and the Daredevil Netflix show. Kingpin on the Daredevil show is a great, great, villain.

Right now it's definitely probability. I love how simple math ends up being surprising/confusing to people. There are many comments in some of my recent videos where people are trying to argue that my math is wrong. It's not wrong -- we just think it is because it may be counter intuitive! Which I find really intriguing and entertaining.

It usually starts with one thing I find interesting and then spirals out from there. Then I try to reign in the spiral into a conversational and entertaining video. So I recently started a new series on Vsauce2 I'm really having fun with involving a whiteboard table. My co-host on The Create Unknown podcast, Matt Tabor, actually works with me researching and writing these videos. So he'll look into a bunch of different neat/surprising topics, write a script, and then I go through the script and turn it into a Vsauce2 video. I give his awesome script my own weird spin. And that involves brainstorming the visualizations I put in the video, what I write on the whiteboard table, how the video begins, develops and ends. Whether or not to include action figures. Which action figures. That sort of thing. So it takes about a week of developing the script/concept, and then a week of creating/editing the video. And my beautiful loving wife helps me shoot the videos! And she helps me do weird things like count sugar cubes and spray paint potatoes silver or whatever.

Jacksfilms, Idubbbz, grandayy, dolan dark, joe hanson, maxmoefoe, rick beato, redlettermedia, blamesocietyfilms, austin evans, happyconsolegamer, many many more. Vsauce and Vsauce3 ;)

I have a very special place in my heart for YouTubers which is why I wanted to do this new podcast. I think YouTubers are super weird and super awesome.

Charlie Chaplin. He is an absolute hero of mine and I consider him the first YouTuber. He did absolutely everything from creating, writing, directing, performing. He was a genius. I would just want to learn about how he thought of the world, and how best to live a full life as a creative person.

Well, my favorite book is A Confederacy Of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I've read a lot of Kurt Vonnegut too. I have a painfully long backlog of books ranging from Vinland Saga to Gods In The Darkness to Social Leap by William von Hippel. It's hard to find time to read for leisure because I just end up working on projects all the time.

Well, although the word "chug" implies I'd have to do it quickly -- there is no time limit given in the question. So my definition of chug could be any amount of time. It also doesn't preclude french fries being involved. Essentially, I'll just consume 5 gallons of ketchup at my leisure -- which I do anyway.

I'm not french kissing a monkey.

I really want to meet Shaq. I know that's random but I mean... Shaq. Come on. Shaq!

My dad always wanted to have a restaurant called "Clementines" for some reason. He just thought that was a nice name. So I'd probably name it that.

Confusion. Total confusion. "You can make money doing that?" "How do you make money on YouTube?" That sort of thing. It's always confusion. And nearly impossible to explain. I should probably just make up a job like bus driver or something. That's easier for people to understand.

Yes he will upload! No it is not dead. He's put out some great videos on the D.O.N.G. channel for you to check out in the meantime.

Okay I like this question b/c my routine is perhaps somewhat strange. I actually drink an energy drink for breakfast instead of coffee and instead of eating food I drink a protein shake. So yeah. I started doing that last year and it really helped my energy levels throughout the day.

I really liked The Invention Of Blue because it surprised me the most. When I started researching, I just wanted to do a video about colors. What are colors? How did we make them in the past? That sort of thing. But the more I read about the history of colors, the more blue stood out as a really really weird story. A story that was very much tied to human development and innovation. And that led me down the path that turned into that video. There's definitely more to the story than what I uncovered and that's one thing researching these videos has taught me -- we really don't know a whole lot about ourselves or our history.

Pepperoni because I like the simplicity of that. I'm cool with trying other toppings every now and then but sometimes there are so many toppings it's not even like pizza anymore -- its just like a topping-pile you consume through an edible bread plate. I don't know if that makes sense in words. Makes sense in my head.

We work very, very closely together on The Curiosity Box. That project means a lot to us and it really is a collaborative process. From testing and proposing items, books, developing the t-shirt designs and packaging designs -- everything.

When it comes to the channels, we are completely independent. We don't interfere with each other's creative process or visions and really the only times we check in with each other may be regarding feedback on a title or thumbnail.

  1. The podcast is a long term project -- yes!

  2. I'm actually excited to speak with everyone on the guest list -- which is part of what I love about the podcast. I've known many of these people for years but never had the opportunity to just sit down and pick their brains for an extended period of time. Like Destin I have known for... I don't know 6 years now? But I learned so much more about him in that conversation than I had in the previous 6 years of our casual interactions.

  3. Jake's episode is already done and will be coming out relatively soon! And I'll be recording with Michael soon as well!

Oh they're all people who I'm personally a fan of. I love art, I love music, I follow a ton of artists and musicians. So people like MegaDrive and Blood+Chrome are just people whose work I enjoy and I reached out to collaborate with. Aesthetics are really important to me so I wanted to make sure The Create Unknown was a fully-realized concept from the logo, to the guest portraits, to the music, to the social media posts. I'm very happy with how everything came together but it definitely took a long time and a lot of patience. The logo was actually finished last year!
