[0:00] go live
[0:05] and i think
[0:07] we are live now
[0:10] and i had to paint myself in here
[0:12] because otherwise people are not going
[0:14] to see when i am speaking so it's just
[0:17] for the for the starting so hello
[0:19] everybody
[0:21] um
[0:22] let's see if we get some feedback about
[0:25] if we're live already or not
[0:28] we are live i can see us
[0:32] okay so this is ever um i'm an
[0:35] illustrator uh at minute earth
[0:38] and i am going to be your host today um
[0:42] and as you know we are a youtube channel
[0:46] that make videos on the internet and we
[0:49] are not used to make streams on the
[0:51] internet
[0:52] so
[0:53] sorry and apologies for mistakes and um
[0:58] i don't know like
[0:59] things can crash at any point so sorry
[1:02] about that
[1:03] um
[1:04] and
[1:06] today we are celebrating that uh our
[1:09] book
[1:11] which is this one in here um just came
[1:14] out today it's available
[1:16] uh
[1:17] in everywhere
[1:19] the the book is sold and we're super
[1:22] happy and we are just having like a
[1:23] casual conversation with everybody in
[1:26] here in the chat and um we're also going
[1:29] to talk about uh some things uh
[1:32] regarding the book and also unrelated to
[1:34] the book we are going to keep it like
[1:37] chill and casual over here so um
[1:42] i'm not like a super experienced host
[1:44] because arkady
[1:47] is actually um the mastermind behind
[1:50] our streams uh and he's out of office
[1:53] today
[1:54] so he he won't be joining us and that's
[1:56] why you are stuck with me
[1:59] and um my
[2:02] um
[2:03] and we're going to start this thing um
[2:06] by
[2:08] uh asking
[2:10] uh
[2:13] the
[2:14] team members that were more involved in
[2:16] the book creation
[2:18] uh general questions about how the
[2:22] process
[2:22] go
[2:23] how did it came through like what was
[2:26] the experience of writing the book how
[2:29] much time did it take to write it um
[2:32] and maybe if they have some anecdotes um
[2:36] and so i am going to introduce
[2:39] uh kate and sarah and i will let her
[2:42] um i will let uh kate start and then we
[2:46] can
[2:47] have some words from sarah
[2:50] hey everybody uh this is really fun
[2:53] um yes i'm kate i'm a writer and
[2:55] director and narrator at minute earth um
[2:58] and i did a lot of so the book is
[3:00] obviously based on some of our favorite
[3:02] videos so i did a lot of collecting
[3:05] of those videos and trimming them and
[3:08] editing
[3:09] all the amazing words that me and other
[3:11] people have written um
[3:13] and putting them together into
[3:16] a big text file which sarah transformed
[3:19] even further from that so do you want to
[3:21] talk about that
[3:22] yes please yeah um also just to answer
[3:26] i'm seeing in the chat there's a little
[3:27] bit of a
[3:29] delay so
[3:31] we're probably seeing what you're
[3:32] writing
[3:33] a couple of seconds after you say it so
[3:37] um this is live it's just like slightly
[3:39] laggy but um
[3:42] hi i'm sarah um i'm an illustrator and
[3:45] was the lead graphic designer on the
[3:47] book project
[3:49] and
[3:50] i feel like
[3:51] more than anything we got to really like
[3:54] reappreciate all of our
[3:57] amazing illustrations over the years and
[4:00] um
[4:01] yeah take our best
[4:03] minute earth videos that you love and
[4:05] kind of turn them into
[4:07] i think really a new thing like they
[4:10] feel almost like new stories hey
[4:12] leo um
[4:16] yeah and ever has been the longest
[4:18] illustrator here so i got to
[4:21] reappreciate all of his
[4:24] amazing illustrations over the years and
[4:26] um it felt really collaborative
[4:30] there were a couple of us that were
[4:31] working on it
[4:32] the most but i would say that this book
[4:34] really is
[4:36] the summation of everything
[4:38] that is and
[4:40] has been minute earth and i think
[4:44] it's really amazing as its own
[4:46] new
[4:49] thing to experience
[4:52] it is it feels really different than the
[4:54] videos for some reason and i don't know
[4:56] like having this physical thing
[4:59] it's really different and it's i don't
[5:01] know it's really cool does anyone like
[5:02] else feel that way is that weird
[5:05] when i got my advanced copy very late
[5:08] because i am not in the u.s
[5:09] [Laughter]
[5:10] i was so excited like it like it was
[5:13] like just like i was so happy i sent a
[5:17] photo and everything it's just like so
[5:19] great like it seems it's really amazing
[5:21] like
[5:23] i don't know like
[5:24] i don't know why it feels
[5:26] uh so different um than than video well
[5:30] i i guess you know like it's it's not a
[5:32] video
[5:33] but it's so nice to see
[5:36] uh drawings that we usually
[5:39] see
[5:40] like in in a digital form and i think
[5:42] that my experience with with all of
[5:44] these drawings is that um i have never
[5:49] had like printed versions of of the
[5:52] drawings that we have made
[5:54] so maybe having them in physical form is
[5:56] just like another level of experience
[5:59] and i got to appreciate
[6:02] um
[6:03] do like
[6:04] our content like this is this is
[6:06] basically like a like a celebration of
[6:09] what minute earth is and how has done so
[6:12] far
[6:15] yeah i want to add to that that i feel
[6:17] like kate really
[6:18] went through all of the stories that
[6:20] we've written over the years and
[6:24] took the best things out of them and
[6:26] turned them almost into news stories so
[6:28] what you'll see in the book isn't
[6:31] you know exactly what you experienced in
[6:34] the videos in any way they really are
[6:37] new versions of the writing news stories
[6:39] and i feel like because of that they've
[6:41] turned into new
[6:43] things entirely to appreciate
[6:46] um i don't know if there's anything in
[6:49] particular about that process that stood
[6:51] out to you kate but um i think you
[6:53] really
[6:55] refined and changed those stories in a
[6:57] lot of ways
[6:59] well it's funny because i mean our
[7:00] videos are so short and that's something
[7:02] we struggle with we're like oh we can't
[7:03] fit this we can't talk about this but
[7:05] like
[7:06] they're so dense there's so much going
[7:09] on there's usually a couple different
[7:10] story lines and so to fit each of these
[7:13] questions into two spreads like we
[7:15] really had to pair even more out of
[7:17] those already short videos um so it was
[7:20] interesting to like help pull out one
[7:22] storyline and figure out like how how to
[7:25] tell it
[7:26] with some of the illustrations that we
[7:27] already had um it was just really fun
[7:30] going through the older stuff because we
[7:32] don't go through the back out level a
[7:33] lot i don't at least
[7:36] reconnect it oh oh
[7:38] oh i hope that
[7:40] nothing breaks
[7:42] oh no it broke
[7:44] wait a second
[7:46] seems fine to us oh it seems fine okay
[7:49] okay sorry about that so um
[7:52] from
[7:53] so i haven't introduced uh everybody
[7:55] that is currently on the live stream on
[7:58] the
[7:59] google meet
[8:00] so i am going to introduce them one by
[8:03] one and we have in order of appearance
[8:06] on my screen
[8:08] we have alex
[8:10] who is uh
[8:12] a writer and
[8:14] has
[8:15] wrote
[8:16] a a lot of stories about food and um
[8:20] um and about uh climate change and
[8:24] sort of related stuff have you gotten
[8:26] already your advanced copy or haven't
[8:30] i did but i'm a bad person and i forgot
[8:32] it so it's not i don't i can't lift it
[8:35] up and show it to you
[8:38] but i have it and it's a wonderful book
[8:40] and i i totally agree with everything
[8:42] you all are saying about how
[8:45] it's somehow different to see
[8:47] it
[8:48] on paper and it feels like it shouldn't
[8:51] be but it is and even though they're
[8:53] originally videos and they can do more
[8:56] in
[8:56] a video because you have so many more
[8:58] frames and we sort of compress them into
[9:01] four or five or six panels
[9:04] that
[9:05] it is different and it's kind of i don't
[9:07] know the same analogy of like why books
[9:09] in general still exist and why people
[9:11] still like having newspapers that they
[9:12] can physically hold
[9:15] whereas like you could
[9:16] have any information you want on the
[9:18] internet from any newspaper but it's
[9:20] still nice to have
[9:22] a book or a you know piece of paper in
[9:24] your hand so
[9:25] yeah i'm super excited to to have held
[9:28] it and
[9:29] unlike a digital thing where anytime you
[9:31] have internet you can look it up if you
[9:32] forget it you don't have
[9:34] it i'm looking forward to having it
[9:37] again
[9:38] maybe i'll have to go buy a new copy
[9:40] just just to make sure i have it still
[9:42] yeah you should you should you should uh
[9:44] buy a new one and also um
[9:47] that will um
[9:48] that will increase our sales by one
[9:52] thank you alex uh then i have uh julian
[9:57] who
[9:58] does have a book in his hands
[10:00] you have to unmute yourself
[10:02] it's hands-free
[10:04] um yes hello i'm also the moderator
[10:07] featured now in the in the chat so i'm
[10:09] trying to collect all of your questions
[10:12] um
[10:13] writer director
[10:15] narrator at uh minute earth what is the
[10:17] question
[10:19] the question is introducing myself
[10:22] sorry i was looking at the chat
[10:23] oh yes he's like moderating the stuff
[10:26] and uh yeah of course no the question
[10:29] was like when do you uh receive your
[10:31] book like how did it feel um do you know
[10:35] like on your general impression first
[10:37] impressions about the book
[10:40] you probably already shared them
[10:41] privately
[10:43] someone said hola i don't know if they
[10:45] actually know me because that's what my
[10:47] family calls me but um
[10:50] uh so yeah actually i was the first one
[10:52] on the team to see the book because i
[10:54] went down to our office where we we got
[10:56] uh like a palette full of boxes of our
[10:59] books and i i did an unboxing actually
[11:02] there's an unboxing on our tick tock um
[11:05] admin earth if you want to go see that
[11:07] but uh it was awesome i don't know it
[11:09] was wild to see it in person is
[11:12] very beautiful i had almost nothing to
[11:14] do with the production of it besides
[11:15] some like light editing
[11:17] um
[11:18] after it was basically done so uh
[11:21] yeah i was just i i got to be proud of
[11:23] it without having to have done all that
[11:25] much work which is nice
[11:28] um
[11:29] yeah that's that's really cool and um uh
[11:33] what did you do with with all of the
[11:34] books in that palette
[11:37] uh great question well uh i took a few
[11:41] home um
[11:43] you took more than you should i think
[11:44] right
[11:45] i think i took three um which is i think
[11:48] how much we are allowed to take
[11:50] uh and then i helped uh henry and
[11:52] melissa uh at some point uh mail out uh
[11:56] several of them to
[11:57] our our faves in science communication
[12:01] uh on youtube mostly um and some friends
[12:05] um
[12:06] all of you as well
[12:08] um so that's what i did with the books
[12:09] we still have a bunch
[12:11] of them um so we're actually giving away
[12:13] some of our books we may do a giveaway
[12:15] at some point in this in this uh feed
[12:17] but we have a giveaway happening right
[12:19] now on our twitter our instagram and our
[12:22] facebook

[12:26] platform so um six books total
[12:29] um
[12:30] so yeah we're that's that's what we're

[12:51] pretty basic you know
[12:53] like the post
[12:55] leave a comment it it yeah it depends up
[12:58] it's different per platform because they
[13:00] all have their own
[13:01] rules

[13:32] can anyone participate anyone in the
[13:34] world
[13:35] anyone in the world yes uh whenever we
[13:38] do giveaways or anything like that we
[13:40] end up shipping
[13:42] probably more things
[13:44] world overseas like outside of the
[13:46] united states than in the united states
[13:48] uh so i
[13:50] there's a high probability that uh
[13:52] people in uh other countries will be
[13:53] getting it i think someone on our
[13:55] patreon from israel won uh one of the
[13:58] um giveaways so
[14:00] well that's really nice
[14:02] okay the next person is uh is melissa in
[14:06] here still
[14:08] i think she was i was going to name her
[14:11] i am here yeah melissa is in here i was
[14:13] going to name her uh the host of the
[14:15] stream because she has a so beautiful
[14:17] setup in there but she refused
[14:22] yeah i would not be a good host
[14:24] um
[14:25] but i happen to be in our office so
[14:28] i have the piles and piles of um
[14:31] books that julian was talking about so i
[14:33] was able to kind of make a little
[14:36] display behind him
[14:39] that's so good um so you you got to saw
[14:42] them first right
[14:44] and by the way melissa is
[14:47] um a magical person like she's not like
[14:50] a writer
[14:52] she
[14:53] she wrote an episode for minute earth a
[14:55] long time ago
[14:57] but she is like um or resident expert on
[15:01] legal affairs and business stuff um and
[15:04] she like runs
[15:06] mainly behind the scenes and she's
[15:08] fantastic and her stick figure is um
[15:12] has a b
[15:14] and um a balance and a book
[15:18] just because she's um
[15:20] expert on legal stuff and yeah so she's
[15:23] like behind the scenes mostly but she's
[15:26] lovely and wonderful and she's always
[15:28] like you know fantastic and she's in our
[15:30] office and she probably uh got to be the
[15:34] first person like
[15:35] dealing with this book stuff so tell us
[15:38] like um more about it
[15:42] yeah so like with the physical books
[15:44] when they came or when we started the
[15:46] whole process
[15:48] uh both
[15:50] i think
[15:51] yeah well
[15:52] for the physical books it's kind of
[15:54] funny because i was waiting and waiting
[15:56] and waiting for them to come to our
[15:58] office and i we got a bunch of copies so
[16:01] it was going to be like five
[16:03] seven boxes of like all these books
[16:06] and i was waiting and the day they came
[16:09] i left for a little vacation break
[16:12] so
[16:13] i i was frantically like getting a hold
[16:16] of julian and asking um if you could go
[16:18] down to the office and move all the
[16:20] boxes
[16:21] off the palace and um
[16:24] so i didn't have to do that but then i
[16:26] didn't get to see the book right away i
[16:28] had to wait till i got back from
[16:30] um visiting my family
[16:32] but it was um wonderful when i did come
[16:37] into our office and we had um
[16:39] all of these boxes of books and it was
[16:41] just like
[16:43] so so amazing um
[16:46] after
[16:47] it it was kind of a different process
[16:49] for me because i didn't
[16:51] i didn't do
[16:52] any of the editing or the writing or you
[16:55] know any of the illustrations on either
[16:58] the videos or the book so for me our
[17:01] whole process is kind of
[17:03] i live in a different space of it so
[17:06] it's so amazing to see
[17:09] it go from
[17:11] video to print and
[17:14] it was kind of a magical process because
[17:16] i just did
[17:17] like ever said mostly behind the scenes
[17:19] things and then all of a sudden
[17:21] i came into the office and we had boxes
[17:23] and boxes of these books that you could
[17:25] hold and flip through and it was like
[17:27] magic um
[17:29] many many many months of magic but
[17:32] magic nonetheless so
[17:34] um
[17:36] yeah i just think as someone who kind of
[17:38] um
[17:40] sees sees the end results of everything
[17:43] we do
[17:44] everything we do is magic here i think
[17:46] but um this book i i just love it
[17:50] and um
[17:52] for the beginning process
[17:54] i feel like
[17:56] i believe the publisher i i believe we
[17:59] kind of always
[18:00] um thought about making a book or like
[18:04] dappled in that idea maybe you guys you
[18:07] guys can say if that's true or not i
[18:09] feel like i heard like kind of
[18:13] some little ideas about books in the
[18:15] past
[18:16] and so when our publisher
[18:18] kind of came to us with the idea i feel
[18:20] like it just was the right time and
[18:23] we were ready for it and
[18:26] there it went so
[18:29] that's really cool that's really nice
[18:31] yeah i think that we had um some
[18:33] requests uh to do a book before but i i
[18:37] don't
[18:38] i i don't remember them very well maybe
[18:40] henry would know about them i don't know
[18:43] if someone that's here know about it oh
[18:46] henry joined
[18:47] did henry joined yes i'm here oh hello
[18:50] there
[18:51] yeah we've had it's you know it's pretty
[18:53] typical that people request books based
[18:55] on youtube channels because
[18:57] uh publishing companies are always
[18:58] looking for more material i think
[19:01] um
[19:02] but one of the things
[19:03] at least for a minute physics that i've
[19:05] always wondered about is like is what is
[19:07] the
[19:08] value like the added value of having a
[19:10] book because all the stuff's already in
[19:11] videos and if i would you make new
[19:13] content for the book that's not in the
[19:14] videos or something else
[19:16] um and i think with minute earth we
[19:19] finally realized
[19:20] that
[19:21] actually having the print a print
[19:23] version of a lot of the art is is i
[19:26] think minute physics art is not nearly
[19:27] as beautiful and they probably printed
[19:29] out it wouldn't be quite as beautiful as
[19:30] the miniature things and so that's like
[19:32] one of the benefits of minerv uh the
[19:34] middle earth illustrations they convert
[19:36] into a
[19:37] into a book in a nicer format
[19:39] uh
[19:40] it's also one of those things where
[19:43] sometimes you also have to have the
[19:44] right combination of
[19:46] interest among the team and the
[19:48] publisher seems or whoever's reaching
[19:50] out to you seems somewhat legitimate and
[19:52] sometimes there's
[19:55] mismatches in the the level of interest
[19:57] in the kind of the
[19:59] um
[20:00] scale at which the person getting
[20:02] touches is interested we typically like
[20:04] we haven't reached out and said hey we
[20:05] want to write a book um i'm trying to
[20:07] find people for that it's typically the
[20:09] other way around
[20:13] but that that's that's my understanding
[20:14] of things if somebody else has different
[20:16] understanding
[20:17] they can speak up
[20:19] and by the way that was henry uh he is
[20:21] um
[20:24] the minute physics um
[20:27] magical person that makes videos over
[20:29] there and also is around
[20:32] minute earth um
[20:34] uh giving a lot of feedback
[20:36] very good feedback uh on videos and
[20:39] stuff and keeping an eye
[20:41] on our craziest ideas
[20:45] um
[20:46] so i have uh i think the two more people
[20:49] that are around on this live stream i
[20:51] think that uh we have uh leo
[20:54] uh
[20:55] from brazil i don't know if it's there
[20:59] yes yes hello
[21:01] hello there leo is our um
[21:04] translation coordinator uh fantastic
[21:08] person everybody is fantastic in here uh
[21:11] and he
[21:13] he takes care of coordinating all of the
[21:15] translation efforts uh because like we
[21:18] have several official channels in
[21:20] different languages and you know he's
[21:23] keeping an eye on everything and making
[21:25] sure that everything runs smoothly
[21:28] and he also takes care of a few other
[21:31] things have you already received your
[21:33] advanced copy of the book
[21:35] yes oh did you receive it first like
[21:38] like
[21:39] no it was after you oh and i was going
[21:41] to send the picture as well but then we
[21:44] had a book launch party so i was it i
[21:46] was okay i'm gonna wait for the party
[21:49] and
[21:50] i just got it like a few days ago
[21:52] and it's so beautiful like
[21:54] you should be all so proud of the book
[21:57] because it's it's really amazing
[21:59] i really wish that everyone would buy
[22:01] the book and
[22:02] kids of all ages because it's it's
[22:04] really amazing it's really nice really
[22:06] nice i love it
[22:08] um
[22:10] leo also runs the uh portuguese channel
[22:14] um
[22:15] yeah
[22:16] yeah so if if
[22:18] anyone from brazil is in is watching you
[22:20] know is
[22:22] you should go to minota so
[22:25] it's the portuguese version yeah i saw a
[22:27] comment uh earlier in the in the
[22:30] in the live stream that said
[22:32] that
[22:33] uh that they thought that it was minute
[22:36] a live stream from minute to date and i
[22:37] was oh really yeah because that there is
[22:40] a running joke inside minute earth that
[22:42] at some point minute of terra is going
[22:44] is going to become more popular than
[22:46] minute earth
[22:50] there's a lot of people from brazil
[22:52] around i don't know if they are here
[22:54] maybe they can uh chat like leave a
[22:56] comment with a
[22:58] brazilian flag on the on the live stream
[23:00] to know how many of you oh you're about
[23:02] to make my job way harder
[23:05] [Laughter]
[23:09] um so okay
[23:12] uh and uh before uh introducing the next
[23:15] person i got a a comment from julian
[23:18] that maybe we should uh answer some
[23:21] questions in between
[23:23] um i don't know if there is like how
[23:26] many questions do you have over there
[23:27] julian
[23:30] uh like 16 or something well people have
[23:32] been asking a lot of questions so
[23:35] okay do you think that one of those
[23:36] questions is related to jasper somehow
[23:40] related to jasper yes well some of them
[23:42] are are general so we could ask japan
[23:45] jasper what his favorite pokemon is
[23:47] which uh
[23:48] may you're asked in the uh chat uh
[23:53] or any of these other random facts
[23:55] questions okay so
[23:57] yeah like
[23:58] let's let's use that question to
[24:00] introduce jasper uh who is our is jasper
[24:03] here right i am here okay hi there
[24:06] jasper is our
[24:08] fantastic programmer and uh coding
[24:11] expert
[24:12] uh and uh minute labs uh a fantastic
[24:16] person um i'm i'm having trouble with
[24:19] the titles but anyway he does a lot of
[24:23] programming stuff for many of our videos
[24:26] and you probably have uh watched him at
[24:29] some point um making videos on minute
[24:32] laughs uh youtube channel
[24:35] and uh yeah what's uh what's your
[24:38] favorite pokemon and did you get your
[24:39] advanced copy of the book
[24:41] oh yeah i well
[24:44] in terms of the book i've i liked it so
[24:46] much i got three oh oh
[24:49] so
[24:50] i think i win don't i do i win something
[24:53] i think that melissa wins
[24:55] yeah you might want to take a look
[24:57] uh the
[24:59] benefit of having three books but
[25:01] uh two of them at least are going to go
[25:04] to
[25:05] family and friends so uh
[25:07] i won't hoard them all
[25:09] um
[25:10] in
[25:11] favor pokemon you're asking the wrong
[25:13] person
[25:14] i
[25:16] uh
[25:18] name a pokemon
[25:19] oh i i can name uh yeah charmander uh
[25:24] pikachu obviously uh
[25:27] uh that's all i've got really
[25:30] it doesn't know what's going on come on
[25:33] what was that
[25:34] is there a whale pokemon ever
[25:37] there probably is but i am familiar only
[25:39] with the first and second generation
[25:42] and i think that in the first second
[25:44] generation i wish our cotty was here
[25:45] harikati has like uh encyclopedic
[25:48] knowledge of pokemon or i guess
[25:50] pokedexel
[25:51] knowledge uh there is there is there is
[25:54] definitely a whale pokemon with with
[25:57] evolutions but i can't remember its name
[25:59] but whale is somewhere in the name right
[26:01] yes yes there is and it's like whale
[26:03] lord there we go whale lord it's a
[26:05] mythical
[26:07] is the evolution or not no it's not
[26:09] mythical i think it's just a regular one
[26:11] oh i thought that there was one in the
[26:13] cover of a game
[26:17] yeah it's not mythical in pokemon go
[26:19] okay oh very common all right you play
[26:22] pokemon go
[26:25] interesting um okay so uh jasper is
[26:28] there something yeah that
[26:31] let's answer more questions says alex uh
[26:35] your that chat is that chat is visible
[26:37] on the live stream by the way so people
[26:39] ever i have a question that's
[26:41] technically for you
[26:48] so
[26:49] why don't we
[26:50] translate our videos to spanish anymore
[26:52] uh which is yeah
[26:54] well
[26:55] yes that's a that's a very good question
[26:58] and it's uh kind of like
[27:00] time
[27:01] um
[27:02] [Music]
[27:04] it requires a bit of time we have this
[27:06] problem i think where
[27:08] we have gotten people who start
[27:10] translating the videos in spanish and
[27:12] then we poach them and make them part of
[27:13] like the main video production team
[27:15] somehow leo has managed to stay immune
[27:17] from this i think because he's like
[27:19] making his own videos in portuguese and
[27:20] putting them also on the channel but
[27:23] um we've like ever
[27:25] ever and our cody both uh started in the
[27:27] translator role and then just became uh
[27:30] absorbed into the main production team
[27:32] leo watch out it could happen
[27:36] leo someone's asking if you're gonna
[27:37] translate the live stream
[27:41] i don't think they're kidding can i dub
[27:43] each of you of each of you
[27:46] yeah you have to do the voices for all
[27:48] of us
[27:50] maybe
[27:51] i still remember the first time that um
[27:54] leo
[27:55] uh translated a
[27:59] um a series of videos that we made that
[28:02] were live
[28:03] so every time that i've been speaking
[28:05] like i haven't been on screen because i
[28:08] have to pin myself
[28:10] yeah whatever so um
[28:13] leo
[28:14] had to make uh
[28:16] it was a live video where uh emily uh
[28:20] appeared on screen introducing the next
[28:22] videos and the series of videos is also
[28:24] called minute earth explains
[28:26] and
[28:28] and when he did that he um he recorded
[28:31] himself uh and since he was like doing
[28:35] emily uh he sent us a photo that was
[28:38] very funny
[28:40] emilio
[28:42] emilia yes
[28:47] that was super funny
[28:48] okay uh
[28:50] who else is in here i don't i don't know
[28:52] where i don't i don't want to click on
[28:54] the on the on the mid stuff because um
[28:57] i'm probably going to break something
[28:58] but uh i don't know if i am missing
[29:00] someone to introduce him here
[29:02] i think everyone's spoken
[29:06] okay
[29:07] more questions more questions
[29:09] well hi to my mom who's in the
[29:14] she just keeps yelling argentina i think
[29:16] because everyone's saying they're from
[29:17] brazil
[29:18] uh
[29:20] all right let's see we got let me go
[29:22] back to some
[29:23] early questions here uh gary woods said
[29:27] i have a question what kind of dogs
[29:28] would be best suited for living in the
[29:30] wild i don't know if anyone knows how to
[29:32] answer that question but i mean huskies
[29:35] i guess
[29:37] wolves
[29:38] dingoes dingos are already in the wild
[29:40] so
[29:44] not pugs
[29:47] maybe that's the more interesting
[29:48] question which dogs would not survive in
[29:51] the wild they're barely suited to live
[29:53] in a home
[29:53] [Laughter]
[29:57] that that would actually be like a nice
[30:00] uh uh miniature video like which which
[30:02] dog
[30:05] is going is isn't going to dog dies
[30:07] first
[30:08] yeah oh well important question that a
[30:10] lot of people have asked well several
[30:12] people is where they can buy the book um
[30:14] and so
[30:16] one you could just search minute earth
[30:18] explains
[30:19] um anywhere that you normally would buy
[30:21] look and it's
[30:23] hopefully probably there um and then
[30:25] otherwise in the description to this
[30:27] live stream is the link to our website
[30:29] where we have uh other places you can
[30:31] buy the book
[30:32] so that's minuteearth.com
[30:35] books um and if you go on dftba.com
[30:40] our book is on there um in an exclusive
[30:43] bundle you can only get on bfba.com uh
[30:45] that comes with a fancy t-shirt and a
[30:48] whale pin um
[30:50] so those are the places you can buy the
[30:52] book
[30:53] i don't have that pin yet and i'm
[30:56] yeah and i want i want i don't think
[30:57] anybody does
[30:59] i want the thing so badly
[31:03] um
[31:05] let's see how how do you uh uh mayor who
[31:09] which i hope i'm pronouncing the name
[31:10] correctly uh says how do you come up
[31:12] with so many puns
[31:17] who do we blame for all of the puns
[31:21] who started the first pun i think i have
[31:24] the blame for that because i used puns
[31:27] in minute physics videos before mata was
[31:29] started
[31:30] but
[31:31] probably the correct answer is there are
[31:34] actually about five times as many puns
[31:36] as make it into the final videos that
[31:38] have to be made and then they get
[31:39] filtered out so
[31:41] the way we make so many puns is by
[31:43] making even more puns and then getting
[31:45] rid of the
[31:46] the one the ones that you don't hear are
[31:48] you you should be glad that you don't
[31:49] hear
[31:51] even if you don't like the ones you are
[31:53] hearing i love the people think that the
[31:56] last puns are so good that we actually
[31:58] formulate whole videos around them
[32:01] so some people really appreciate our fun
[32:05] yeah i have seen a lot of comments on on
[32:08] our video saying
[32:10] they started with the pun and make a
[32:13] video
[32:14] all around that pun just so that they
[32:16] could like say that pun at the end of
[32:18] the video
[32:20] which would be a fantastic way to make a
[32:21] video but i don't think that that works
[32:23] like that
[32:24] i should try that more often it's a good
[32:26] brainstorming uh opportunity
[32:29] see if you can come up with a video
[32:30] after coming up with the pun
[32:33] um yeah one of my challenges since i'm
[32:35] like a newer writer is sometimes i come
[32:37] up with a pun but then i'm like
[32:39] i think this has been made before in a
[32:41] previous minute earth videos i have to
[32:42] like search it out and i'm like yeah
[32:44] like for example like
[32:47] beauty is in the eye of the beholder or
[32:49] whatever stuff like stuff like that like
[32:52] really obvious sort of fun sometimes uh
[32:54] i have to make sure that it hasn't been
[32:56] made before because we've made a lot of
[32:58] videos about certain topics
[33:00] um
[33:01] but that's part of the fun i think
[33:07] do you have any other uh question over
[33:09] there
[33:12] um
[33:13] let's well some of these
[33:15] let's see let me see if i can find a
[33:16] question that's not like an again a
[33:18] science question that we may not be able
[33:19] to answer
[33:20] uh no you should ask us the science
[33:23] questions and then we can test our
[33:24] knowledge
[33:25] okay alex player x wants to know what
[33:27] happens in our brain when we forget
[33:31] our dent is no longer connected it's
[33:35] like you have a wire that doesn't
[33:36] connect except for that wires made of
[33:39] nerves and axons i don't know that's
[33:41] true i have forgotten but that is what i
[33:44] think is true
[33:45] next question
[33:47] oh we have a question answer here
[33:50] so trace uh dominguez which he has an
[33:53] awesome channel you should check out his
[33:54] channel as well one of our uh faves in
[33:57] science communication here on youtube uh
[33:59] he asked
[34:01] do you think y'all are going to take
[34:03] advantage of the new multi-track audio
[34:04] for translations or anything question
[34:06] mark question mark uh i think we've
[34:07] talked about that before but leo
[34:09] you probably
[34:11] know more about this
[34:14] i don't know if leo
[34:16] knows about that picture because i heard
[34:18] about it um
[34:21] wait i i don't remember
[34:23] where i heard about it but the thing is
[34:24] that so if i understand correctly is
[34:26] that feature like you can change the
[34:28] language within the same video yes
[34:29] exactly exactly okay
[34:32] yeah so i think the reason that we like
[34:34] doing like separate channels partly is
[34:36] because we don't just dub uh the videos
[34:38] and by we i mean uh leo and friends
[34:42] uh they we they actually like change all
[34:45] the words and everything in the videos
[34:47] themselves uh so that that's all
[34:49] translated as well uh which i think is
[34:51] sort of going the extra mile so it feels
[34:53] very like native you know like there's
[34:55] people who watch me that don't don't
[34:57] know that that's not that like they
[34:59] don't know about minute earth in english
[35:01] they think mini
[35:02] is the original one and that we are
[35:04] dubbing them in in in
[35:06] english if anything
[35:07] um
[35:08] so
[35:10] yeah so yeah that happens sometimes uh
[35:12] some people
[35:14] don't
[35:15] even today like
[35:16] the channel is on for like six years and
[35:18] even today some people they don't know
[35:20] about the english version most of them
[35:23] do
[35:24] but
[35:25] yeah julian was correct like when
[35:27] translating
[35:28] because of all the puns and like the the
[35:31] video is short and quick and straight to
[35:34] the point so it's not like just dubbing
[35:37] you know like it's really tricky to
[35:39] deliver the message not only only to
[35:42] portuguese but you know spanish and
[35:44] french and italian all the dubbings that
[35:47] we have so it's uh it's
[35:50] exciting
[35:52] um and the length of the video is
[35:54] different too like it's not just like
[35:56] yeah we're playing it at the same speed
[35:58] so yeah yeah and sometimes you have a
[36:01] bun
[36:02] like that you can't translate like the
[36:04] words but the the drawings is are
[36:08] different
[36:09] so it's
[36:10] always a bit tricky you know but
[36:12] it usually goes well
[36:16] it does
[36:20] uh
[36:22] agreed leia okay so i am receiving uh
[36:25] comments through slack so that i should
[36:28] change this to a great layout and i
[36:30] don't know how to do that so
[36:32] sorry
[36:33] keep going with the questions while i
[36:34] figure out
[36:36] what is this
[36:40] uh and you're muted probably change
[36:42] layout so there's one question about how
[36:44] we chose the book title and i'm really
[36:46] curious you know we went through a lot
[36:47] of different iterations of it and we
[36:49] could have had a title that was
[36:51] completely different or about something
[36:53] specific or a different title that was
[36:55] really also generic but in a different
[36:58] way
[36:59] you want to someone who is super
[37:00] involved in i want to share how we came
[37:02] to talk about whales rather than other
[37:05] things and also what you can tell the
[37:08] whole title of the book because it's not
[37:09] just about whales
[37:11] everyone actually know the whole title
[37:12] of the book
[37:14] i can read it to you from the cover
[37:18] minute earth explains how did whales get
[37:20] so big and other curious questions about
[37:23] animals nature geology and planet earth
[37:27] um also i i think to answer the cover
[37:30] question
[37:32] um
[37:33] arkady who is not here one of our
[37:35] illustrators
[37:37] designed
[37:38] a version of this cover
[37:40] and it was i think based on a poster
[37:43] that ever
[37:45] designed a long time ago yes
[37:47] um and that featured the whale coming
[37:51] out of the
[37:52] earth
[37:53] and so i honestly think it was like the
[37:56] cover design inspired the title thing
[38:00] um
[38:01] and we talked about maybe doing a
[38:03] different question and like featuring a
[38:05] different prominent thing coming out of
[38:07] the earth but
[38:08] this one um
[38:11] i think was a hit amongst our team and
[38:13] we did
[38:14] some kind of patreon poll at some point
[38:17] and that was the favorite pick
[38:20] one of the other ones like
[38:22] yeah there was one about why do rivers
[38:24] curve which is a video that we all love
[38:26] um so i think that was a close second
[38:28] but you know you guys like animals and
[38:30] we wanted an animal on the cover to be
[38:31] honest
[38:34] animals have faces um
[38:37] and you know like no other things have
[38:40] faces on our videos not not even stick
[38:42] figures so well most of them
[38:51] i'm curious what the other uh candidates
[38:54] were
[38:55] does anyone remember what what else we
[38:57] were considering
[38:58] there's like a road one with a road on
[39:00] it i don't remember what was on the road
[39:03] oh oh i thought it was a road that makes
[39:05] a lot more sense
[39:07] because we talked about rivers
[39:09] and how they did i mean there was there
[39:10] was kind of two categories of titles
[39:12] right there the categories where you
[39:13] were taking a title from one of the
[39:15] sections of the book right one of the
[39:16] questions in the book and using that as
[39:18] the title which is what ended up
[39:20] happening and so you had a bunch of
[39:21] different options and then we also did
[39:24] kind of talk about like having a more
[39:25] generic overarching title like just
[39:27] saying minute earth explains the world
[39:29] or something like that
[39:30] um
[39:32] and we went through a variety of
[39:34] different options
[39:35] in both of those categories and
[39:37] it's this combination of you want
[39:38] something to both be
[39:40] like a thumbnail of a video you want it
[39:42] to be representative of what's inside
[39:44] but you also want it to be catchy um
[39:48] and
[39:49] and there was some i think that there
[39:50] was some discussion of like certain
[39:52] kinds of titles make you more or less
[39:56] likely to
[39:57] feel like there could be a second book
[40:00] or a third book if some if it was
[40:01] successful and so we didn't want to
[40:04] either feel like we were committing to
[40:05] more or keep ourselves like like make it
[40:08] really hard to find something later if
[40:10] they're if you decide to have more books
[40:12] so
[40:13] not to like maybe that's a forbidden
[40:15] topic sorry uh kaden sarah and melissa
[40:18] i'm not supposed to talk about that
[40:19] spoiler
[40:20] that was i think that was at least part
[40:21] of the conversation
[40:23] was
[40:24] possibility
[40:25] it's hard to file to follow up to about
[40:27] that's called minute earth explains the
[40:28] world you know
[40:31] other than adding like the number two
[40:33] afterwards
[40:36] uh someone ibrahim asked if if there's
[40:39] scratch and sniff in the book and
[40:41] specifically if there's a hyena butter
[40:43] scratching smith
[40:44] which i think someone asked in the
[40:45] youtube comments too i don't know if
[40:47] it's the same person
[40:49] there's a merch idea
[40:51] [Music]
[40:52] i mean yeah maybe the next there's no
[40:55] scratching stuff in this well i mean you
[40:56] can scratch and sniff it but you know
[40:59] it's not meant to be scratched and
[41:00] sniffed um but that might be a good idea
[41:03] for the next book
[41:04] it smells like new
[41:08] [Music]
[41:10] yeah do we talk about
[41:12] plant perfumes in this uh at some point
[41:15] that would have been a good that would
[41:16] have been a good one
[41:17] um although i think it's about how like
[41:20] those plants smell like dead meat or
[41:22] something so
[41:24] i don't know how i don't know how much
[41:25] people would want to scratch and sniff
[41:27] that without it spoiled food there's a
[41:30] lot of good smells in there or bad
[41:31] smells there are who are flowers trying
[41:34] to seduce
[41:35] yes can the plants talk
[41:38] it is on on page 42 every time you ask
[41:41] that question i remember uh kate's kid
[41:45] saying no
[41:48] it's incredibly difficult to prompt a
[41:50] four-year-old to
[41:52] repeat a question if they think they
[41:53] know the answer can you explain that how
[41:56] that happened kate
[41:58] yes we were trying to we
[42:00] those of us that have kids we brought
[42:01] our kids in when we filmed the trailer
[42:03] to like say the questions um
[42:06] and i was trying to get
[42:08] my son to say can plants talk so i would
[42:10] say can plants talk and he's supposed to
[42:12] repeat after me but every time i said it
[42:14] he said no can plants talk no
[42:18] we eventually got a good egg though
[42:22] we should have released that as a
[42:23] blooper
[42:24] we can we can do that we can arrange
[42:26] that
[42:30] maria wants to know if we're going to be
[42:32] translating the book into other
[42:34] languages
[42:36] um
[42:37] i think yes is the plan but we don't
[42:39] have any like details to release um
[42:41] however uh let us know what languages
[42:44] you would like it to be translated into
[42:46] as
[42:47] um
[42:48] you know we we want to be translating it
[42:50] into uh the languages where people are
[42:53] going to be buying it um
[42:59] oh sorry we're we're definitely working
[43:01] on that and we're
[43:02] um
[43:03] working on um
[43:05] our language translation so hopefully
[43:06] we'll have some announcements
[43:08] um soon on on the different languages
[43:11] you can expect
[43:13] and hopefully we'll um keep doing more
[43:16] um
[43:17] in the coming weeks and months
[43:20] i have a feeling portuguese is going to
[43:22] be one of them
[43:24] just a feeling and it's going to sell
[43:26] more books than the english one
[43:29] it's possible
[43:30] uh
[43:32] let's see does anyone have any questions
[43:34] that they saw on the chat that they want
[43:35] to
[43:36] ask that i have
[43:37] not asked
[43:39] oh bye henry bye henry
[43:42] um
[43:43] there were two science questions the
[43:44] favorites uh from alex that were the
[43:47] first questions that were asked uh in in
[43:50] the chat
[43:51] um i don't
[43:53] i didn't so one two two four chris
[43:57] and
[43:58] asked how does katatumbo lightning work
[44:01] i don't know what that means
[44:03] so if anyone knows
[44:08] uh that's a that's a venezuelan thing
[44:11] it's um
[44:12] it's a light it's a it's like a a
[44:15] constant
[44:16] uh lightning storm
[44:18] that is throughout the year like it's
[44:21] it's a storm that is
[44:22] in a place
[44:24] and it
[44:25] there are lightings all year round
[44:28] uh
[44:29] you say
[44:30] and it is called
[44:33] i've heard about that actually i have no
[44:35] idea how that works and i'm from
[44:36] venezuela
[44:38] um i have never visited that place i
[44:41] know that it exists and that it is like
[44:43] a science
[44:45] scientific like curiosity
[44:48] maybe we'll make a video about it uh now
[44:50] that you've had mentioned it
[44:55] um let's see fungus eater wow very
[44:58] appropriate question fungus eater asks
[45:01] why are there not many fruit like fungi
[45:04] like truffles
[45:05] i feel like fungus eater probably knows
[45:07] more about that than we do but
[45:10] well
[45:11] why
[45:12] are
[45:14] make fruiting bodies to reproduce and so
[45:17] the answer is actually that maybe that
[45:18] there are a lot like it
[45:20] in terms of why there are not that many
[45:22] that are like truffles in an enclosed
[45:25] body
[45:26] i think it's because one of the most
[45:28] successful ways for fungi to reproduce
[45:30] is to let their spores get into the air
[45:33] and it's a lot easier to do that just by
[45:35] having sort of an open
[45:36] thing that the spores can fall out of
[45:38] rather than having a buried underground
[45:41] thing that you then have to send a scent
[45:43] out to get a creature to come dig up to
[45:46] eat to then poop out later and so it's
[45:48] much much easier just to spread them out
[45:50] in the air uh not you know just by
[45:53] gravity or or otherwise there's some
[45:55] fungi that have a little cup that a
[45:57] raindrop falls into and it'll it'll sort
[46:00] of shoot the little spores up into the
[46:02] air and even that is more effective than
[46:04] having to have a wild boar come and dig
[46:06] it up and
[46:07] then spread it around so i think that's
[46:09] my my guess as to why there aren't more
[46:11] that are like truffles oh we have an
[46:14] answer here yeah
[46:16] yeah and if you can tell that fun fact
[46:18] at a party you know what that makes you
[46:19] right
[46:20] i'm guy i'm guy
[46:22] [Laughter]
[46:24] um
[46:26] there are tons at some point uh let's
[46:28] see yeah i guess alex is just gonna take
[46:30] all the science questions
[46:32] uh yeah i want
[46:33] let's
[46:34] let's have more science questions let's
[46:36] test our knowledge i have another one um
[46:39] it's the first one is uh how is sunlight
[46:42] transformed into vitamin d by the human
[46:44] body
[46:47] [Music]
[46:51] i got you
[46:56] and i guess that it would be like an
[46:58] interesting question to to talk about
[47:00] because the um
[47:02] it's probably um
[47:04] it's probably
[47:06] well it's obviously related to chemistry
[47:10] and there are probably a lot of chemical
[47:13] equations in there that i would be
[47:16] very interested to dig on
[47:18] because i am lately very interested in
[47:21] in chemistry and chemical reactions
[47:24] so
[47:26] yeah
[47:27] do i do someone knows how that works
[47:33] i do know that i'm deficient in vitamin
[47:35] d
[47:36] like most people apparently in montana
[47:39] as my doctor told me
[47:41] um she's like don't worry everyone here
[47:43] is deficient in vitamin c
[47:46] uh you spend more time outside
[47:49] um
[47:50] [Music]
[47:51] and by the way the people
[47:53] the people uh watching us right now can
[47:55] take advantage of uh alex vast knowledge
[48:00] in food
[48:02] and stuff so if they have a question
[48:04] related to food he probably knows the
[48:06] answer to food and and claim it probably
[48:10] um someone said yeah so plover tech said
[48:14] you guys should make a separate channel
[48:15] called hour with an h earth and it is
[48:18] like a podcast or just longer videos uh
[48:20] which actually we uh we made that exact
[48:23] title joke and everything about that
[48:25] idea so
[48:26] there's a contingent within minute earth
[48:28] that wants to make a podcast
[48:30] um
[48:31] our videos are available as podcasts
[48:34] uh
[48:35] if you look it up but
[48:38] they're just the videos but in podcast
[48:40] form so
[48:41] um
[48:44] that would be fun uh we've tried this
[48:46] thing uh we haven't posted one in a
[48:48] while actually had one in my docket to
[48:50] edit for a while but uh on patreon
[48:53] um
[48:54] supposedly monthly but you know
[48:57] a little less
[48:58] than monthly um
[49:01] we less than monthly or more than
[49:02] monthly less often than monthly
[49:06] sorry i don't i i don't know if that's
[49:08] correct anyway we post uh videos where
[49:10] we're talking about like behind the
[49:11] scenes of videos that we've worked on um
[49:14] and so that is sort of like a test of
[49:16] the podcast format but it would be cool
[49:18] to do like
[49:19] where we actually talk about you know
[49:21] new topics amongst each other um and
[49:24] there's a lot of the stuff that doesn't
[49:26] make it into our videos
[49:28] um since our videos are so short
[49:30] um that we uh you know there's some
[49:32] stuff there like it's this is an
[49:34] interesting thing about this topic uh
[49:36] but in the editing process we we have to
[49:38] remove it because it does it's not
[49:40] actually pertinent to the story we're
[49:41] telling and so that kind of stuff would
[49:43] make for for a good podcast uh
[49:45] conversation there is a lot of content
[49:47] that we leave out from our videos and
[49:49] sometimes i feel like super bad
[49:52] about leaving stuff out because it's
[49:54] really interesting information but it
[49:58] doesn't
[49:59] fit into the video
[50:01] and we don't have any way of releasing
[50:04] that information
[50:05] currently about that and a podcast is a
[50:09] running idea that we have for a very
[50:12] long time
[50:13] um
[50:14] and we haven't made it really um
[50:18] it probably is easier
[50:20] to do than we think and we shouldn't
[50:22] like
[50:23] you know like try to make like fancy
[50:27] podcasts or anything
[50:29] it can just like be us talking
[50:31] uh but yeah like it is
[50:34] it is something that is in our minds but
[50:37] we haven't gotten to it yet i believe
[50:40] trace to answer the vitamin d question
[50:42] in the chat um
[50:44] alex would you like to read that so that
[50:47] i don't have to read the final word in
[50:48] that
[50:50] sure so trace
[50:53] trace suggested that sorry let me just
[50:55] make sure i scroll to the right spot
[50:57] that basically in deep in the skin
[50:59] there's a steroid called seven
[51:01] dehydrocholesterol which is a form of
[51:03] cholesterol and the uv
[51:05] b from the sun uh provides energy in the
[51:08] form of photons that break one of the
[51:09] chemical bonds that converts it to
[51:11] cholecalciferol and i believe that uh
[51:15] that then
[51:17] is somehow related to d3 which it gets
[51:20] converted by the liver and kidneys to
[51:22] calcitrol
[51:23] which then the protein called dddpb
[51:27] gabs and transports to the organs for
[51:29] use so the body is an incredibly complex
[51:33] biochemical machine
[51:35] and uh that's some sense of it basically
[51:37] the summary is the sun helps convert
[51:39] some cholesterol into some other stuff
[51:40] that eventually
[51:42] our inner organs can convert into stuff
[51:44] that is more useful for our body thank
[51:46] you very much trace oh wow you should
[51:47] all go check out his
[51:49] uh channel definitely yeah that's
[51:52] amazing
[51:54] someone said how does sugar uh so sorry
[51:56] i have to stop saying someone and say
[51:57] that marantz 5006 asked how does sugar
[52:00] withdrawal affect your body
[52:06] badly
[52:10] i seem like most things it's something
[52:12] we get used to metabolizing and then
[52:13] when it's gone it you know disrupts
[52:16] disruptives
[52:18] i had two donuts before this live stream
[52:20] i have no idea
[52:24] um
[52:26] let's see
[52:29] there was a question there was a
[52:30] question about how long it takes us to
[52:31] make videos
[52:33] that's a good one it depends on how
[52:34] complicated roughly three minutes
[52:36] obviously
[52:39] i would say between a month and
[52:42] what's our longest running
[52:44] their videos we still have not finished
[52:46] that
[52:47] well ever did one in about four months
[52:49] or something right
[52:51] recently i think that the longest is is
[52:54] like four months obviously i wasn't
[52:56] working every day on it
[52:58] uh and i think that the shortest one
[53:01] actually was produced
[53:04] uh
[53:04] a month ago it was um
[53:06] the um
[53:08] i forgot the name that what was the last
[53:10] video i worked on
[53:11] come on uh give me oh it was the um
[53:14] ozone hole yes that one
[53:16] uh with the help of sarah
[53:19] i finished
[53:20] that thing in basically three days
[53:23] it was super fast
[53:25] but
[53:26] and i think that is the faster
[53:29] the the fastest production time for a
[53:31] video but that that wasn't that that's
[53:34] definitely not sustainable like i
[53:36] yeah like
[53:38] it was crazy it was a crazy production
[53:40] time
[53:42] yeah you said sanchez asked would you do
[53:44] a video showing the illustration
[53:46] animation process um
[53:49] ever i think maybe you want to take this
[53:51] one because it's but it's possible that
[53:52] we have some we have made uh some of
[53:55] them we have made a lot of them but they
[53:57] are not
[53:59] public um i have made a lot of tutorials
[54:02] for
[54:04] uh illustrators because sometimes people
[54:07] like guests illustrate or sometimes we
[54:09] on board people on the team
[54:12] to make illustrations and video editing
[54:14] and animation and i have made a lot of
[54:18] tutorials actually about you know like
[54:20] how to
[54:22] put together drawings and how to make
[54:24] animations how to
[54:27] basically the the process inside the
[54:29] software that we use uh in order to make
[54:32] the illustrations and the and the
[54:33] animations
[54:34] and uh they are all very buried buried
[54:38] is that i'm sorry i'm mispronouncing
[54:40] some they're all buried unlisted
[54:43] in uh minute earth 2
[54:46] which is
[54:48] our second channel which currently
[54:50] doesn't have any public videos yet
[54:54] um
[54:55] maybe some
[54:56] i know i think there's a there's like a
[54:58] live stream between you and david or
[55:00] something on there yes that's the only
[55:02] thing that it's in that channel but
[55:05] that channel contains a lot of unlisted
[55:07] videos
[55:08] that i think that are really interesting
[55:10] um and also you know like uh probably
[55:13] very boring to the vast majority of
[55:15] people but maybe at some point we should
[55:17] consider uh releasing them into the
[55:19] public it's yeah evers channel just for
[55:21] us
[55:22] um
[55:23] [Music]
[55:24] yeah i i whenever i ask ever some sort
[55:26] of technical question i get a video and
[55:28] it's like hi julian this is how you do x
[55:30] thing and it's like a screen capture of
[55:32] like premiere or whatever uh or if he's
[55:35] sharing or like uh audition how to edit
[55:38] audio or something
[55:39] um
[55:40] but yeah maybe we should release some of
[55:42] those to like patreon and then make some
[55:44] more like public facing ones at some
[55:47] point because i know people have been
[55:49] interested in that
[55:51] uh i thought you had one ever i thought
[55:53] you had
[55:54] like where you were i thought that was
[55:56] public
[55:57] um like behind the scenes illustration
[56:00] yeah
[56:00] um i think julian just shared it in the
[56:03] chat
[56:04] um it's called
[56:05] alex
[56:06] oh okay it's called the basics of
[56:08] digital illustration
[56:10] oh right right right oh jeez
[56:14] that's
[56:17] that's a good one
[56:19] wait how do you
[56:21] been at earth 2 how do i
[56:23] go to minute earth 2 if i if i type that
[56:26] in it doesn't take me there
[56:28] anyway i i don't know if yeah
[56:31] it might not have a like a official
[56:33] username yeah it probably doesn't have a
[56:36] no it does
[56:39] oh no it doesn't wrong let me let me
[56:41] share it um
[56:44] i would i would share that over here so
[56:47] let's see
[56:48] so uh ecstatic butter which i wonder if
[56:51] ecstatic butter has seen a recent video
[56:53] uh that came out today asked what came
[56:55] first plants or animals
[57:00] i think that it was
[57:02] things were more like plants than
[57:05] animals
[57:06] but i'm not totally sure i think
[57:09] the idea of what an animal is and what a
[57:10] plant is to some degree
[57:13] post dates the earliest organisms
[57:17] um but that's just my sense ecstatic
[57:20] butter asked another really good
[57:21] question
[57:22] um
[57:23] about sort of the background of global
[57:26] warming which essentially
[57:29] is
[57:30] that
[57:31] we are
[57:32] warming the planet by emitting
[57:34] greenhouse gases and
[57:36] the planet will survive humans
[57:39] probably will also if we don't change
[57:43] the amount carbon dioxide other gases
[57:45] that we're pumping out in the atmosphere
[57:47] life will get way worse for people and
[57:50] already has been and it's going to be
[57:51] really bad in 20 30 years maybe about 10
[57:54] years to cut our missions in half
[57:57] we'll survive but
[58:00] it won't be fun
[58:01] so do what you can support people doing
[58:04] things they can to reduce emissions
[58:09] fun stuff well let me ask a follow-up
[58:12] here not a follow-up a
[58:14] different question
[58:16] from that uh tony choi hey tony hello
[58:19] tony asked uh how much do you
[58:22] ad lib freestyle from the scripts when
[58:24] you record
[58:26] um for for me it's very little um
[58:28] sometimes as i'm recording i
[58:30] like you realize that there's a word
[58:32] choice that i don't like and so i change
[58:34] it um
[58:35] while i'm recording um or i get to the
[58:38] end
[58:39] in the in the pawn area and i like think
[58:42] of another pun and so i record
[58:44] a couple different
[58:45] lines um
[58:47] but for the most part i i tend to stick
[58:49] to the script
[58:53] about uh kate
[58:55] yeah i mean we each write what we're
[58:58] going we each write our own videos
[59:00] generally with a few exceptions so we
[59:02] really write it in our own voice um
[59:04] anyway so it's kind of it's written
[59:06] taylor written for us occasionally i'll
[59:08] change things a little bit but they
[59:10] we don't we just don't have a lot of
[59:11] space to add them a lot you know too
[59:13] short
[59:14] i i think the only thing that i can
[59:16] think of is the k the uh video that you
[59:19] and i did kate um
[59:21] where we were kind of talking back and
[59:23] forth and we we wanted it to
[59:25] feel more like a conversation than

[62:27] answer this question from odello what
[62:29] what your fave b types
[62:32] i don't know if is still here but
[62:35] she is i see her
[62:37] hi wait what is it an a b type
[62:43] what are your favorite b types like
[62:44] types of bees
[62:46] oh types the beast
[62:49] that makes a lot more sense
[62:54] um
[62:55] who's your favorite person that's av
[62:57] types one
[63:11] um
[63:12] oh i just i love i mean all bees um
[63:17] we keep honey bees at at our house
[63:22] so
[63:22] i have a particular affinity for them
[63:25] because of them
[63:26] they're in our yard and
[63:28] they pollinate our garden but
[63:31] all native pollinators are
[63:34] so important
[63:35] and so at risk so
[63:39] if you can plant pollinator friendly
[63:41] plants
[63:42] around your home um
[63:44] even on the balcony space
[63:47] so important because there are so many
[63:49] bees
[63:50] and other pollinators that are so
[63:53] distinct and fascinating and they do
[63:55] they
[63:56] pollinate such particular
[63:59] um plants or crops and they're so
[64:02] important so i think they're all so
[64:04] fascinating
[64:05] because i don't know that i have a
[64:07] favorite other than honeybees
[64:10] would you make a a video about that
[64:12] melissa at some point
[64:15] we did the favorite apple maybe we
[64:17] should do the favorite b favorite b yeah
[64:20] that would be pretty awesome
[64:22] her favorite b
[64:24] is is not a v i think that's true my
[64:27] favorite b is
[64:29] is my kiddo b
[64:32] that is that is true
[64:33] [Laughter]
[64:37] i probably should have thought of that
[64:44] um we are uh
[64:46] we we should already be wrapping up
[64:49] because uh it's already nine
[64:52] well it's nine for me it's eight eastern
[64:55] time
[64:57] an hour has gone already through like
[65:00] here it goes
[65:02] like how does it have like how like when
[65:05] did it
[65:06] like i had planned a game
[65:08] for this live stream
[65:10] and i like picked a lot of words for
[65:12] that game and it was going to be amazing
[65:14] and now we don't have time for this
[65:18] great i'll i'm sure that the audience
[65:20] will love to know that we were going to
[65:22] do some awesome game that they will get
[65:23] to see now
[65:26] again
[65:30] um
[65:32] so since since we are going to
[65:35] be gone now i wonder if we should figure
[65:37] out a quick way to do a giveaway um
[65:40] i'm gonna say
[65:42] uh that if you want to win a book and
[65:43] you're in the chat right now
[65:46] uh just tweet at minute earth
[65:48] um saying
[65:52] i was going to say i was there or
[65:53] something like that but it should be
[65:54] something funny about your favorite
[65:56] woman
[65:57] your favorite thing you learned in the
[65:58] in the live stream
[66:01] do that and then uh
[66:04] how did wales get so big uh just in case
[66:07] someone just happens to be uh at
[66:10] replying us a random fact
[66:13] um and then uh we'll choose we'll choose
[66:16] one of those people um to give them a
[66:18] book that's probably not the best way to
[66:19] do this because that's that might be
[66:21] challenging
[66:23] um

[66:26] a book um i guess i'll i'll dm you or
