[00:14] to see when i am speaking so it's just

[00:17] for the for the starting so hello

[00:19] everybody

[00:32] okay so this is ever um i'm an

[00:35] illustrator uh at minute earth

[00:38] and i am going to be your host today um

[00:42] and as you know we are a youtube channel

[00:46] that make videos on the internet and we

[00:49] are not used to make streams on the

[00:51] internet

[00:52] so

[00:53] sorry and apologies for mistakes and um

[00:58] i don't know like

[01:02] about that

[01:03] um

[01:04] and

[01:06] today we are celebrating that uh our

[01:09] book

[01:11] which is this one in here um just came

[01:14] out today it's available

[01:16] uh

[01:17] in everywhere

[01:19] the the book is sold and we're super

[01:22] happy and we are just having like a

[01:23] casual conversation with everybody in

[01:26] here in the chat and um we're also going

[01:29] to talk about uh some things uh

[01:32] regarding the book and also unrelated to

[01:34] the book we are going to keep it like

[01:37] chill and casual over here so um

[01:42] i'm not like a super experienced host

[01:44] because arkady

[01:47] is actually um the mastermind behind

[01:50] our streams uh and he's out of office

[01:53] today

[01:54] so he he won't be joining us and that's

[01:56] why you are stuck with me

[01:59] and um my

[02:02] um

[02:03] and we're going to start this thing um

[02:06] by

[02:08] uh asking

[02:10] uh

[02:13] the

[02:14] team members that were more involved in

[02:16] the book creation

[02:18] uh general questions about how the

[02:22] process

[02:22] go

[02:23] how did it came through like what was

[02:26] the experience of writing the book how

[02:29] much time did it take to write it um

[02:32] and maybe if they have some anecdotes um

[02:36] and so i am going to introduce

[02:39] uh kate and sarah and i will let her

[02:42] um i will let uh kate start and then we

[02:46] can

[02:47] have some words from sarah

[02:50] hey everybody uh this is really fun

[02:53] um yes i'm kate i'm a writer and

[02:55] director and narrator at minute earth um

[02:58] and i did a lot of so the book is

[03:00] obviously based on some of our favorite

[03:02] videos so i did a lot of collecting

[03:05] of those videos and trimming them and

[03:08] editing

[03:09] all the amazing words that me and other

[03:11] people have written um

[03:13] and putting them together into

[03:16] a big text file which sarah transformed

[03:19] even further from that so do you want to

[03:21] talk about that

[03:22] yes please yeah um also just to answer

[03:26] i'm seeing in the chat there's a little

[03:27] bit of a

[03:29] delay so

[03:31] we're probably seeing what you're

[03:32] writing

[03:33] a couple of seconds after you say it so

[03:37] um this is live it's just like slightly

[03:39] laggy but um

[03:42] hi i'm sarah um i'm an illustrator and

[03:45] was the lead graphic designer on the

[03:47] book project

[03:49] and

[03:50] i feel like

[03:51] more than anything we got to really like

[03:54] reappreciate all of our

[03:57] amazing illustrations over the years and

[04:00] um

[04:01] yeah take our best

[04:03] minute earth videos that you love and

[04:05] kind of turn them into

[04:07] i think really a new thing like they

[04:10] feel almost like new stories hey

[04:12] leo um

[04:16] yeah and ever has been the longest

[04:18] illustrator here so i got to

[04:21] reappreciate all of his

[04:24] amazing illustrations over the years and

[04:26] um it felt really collaborative

[04:30] there were a couple of us that were

[04:31] working on it

[04:32] the most but i would say that this book

[04:34] really is

[04:36] the summation of everything

[04:38] that is and

[04:40] has been minute earth and i think

[04:44] it's really amazing as its own

[04:46] new

[04:49] thing to experience

[04:52] it is it feels really different than the

[04:54] videos for some reason and i don't know

[04:56] like having this physical thing

[04:59] it's really different and it's i don't

[05:01] know it's really cool does anyone like

[05:02] else feel that way is that weird

[05:05] when i got my advanced copy very late

[05:08] because i am not in the u.s

[05:09] [Laughter]

[05:10] i was so excited like it like it was

[05:13] like just like i was so happy i sent a

[05:17] photo and everything it's just like so

[05:19] great like it seems it's really amazing

[05:21] like

[05:23] i don't know like

[05:24] i don't know why it feels

[05:26] uh so different um than than video well

[05:30] i i guess you know like it's it's not a

[05:32] video

[05:33] but it's so nice to see

[05:36] uh drawings that we usually

[05:39] see

[05:40] like in in a digital form and i think

[05:42] that my experience with with all of

[05:44] these drawings is that um i have never

[05:49] had like printed versions of of the

[05:52] drawings that we have made

[05:54] so maybe having them in physical form is

[05:56] just like another level of experience

[05:59] and i got to appreciate

[06:02] um

[06:03] do like

[06:04] our content like this is this is

[06:06] basically like a like a celebration of

[06:09] what minute earth is and how has done so

[06:12] far

[06:15] yeah i want to add to that that i feel

[06:17] like kate really

[06:18] went through all of the stories that

[06:20] we've written over the years and

[06:24] took the best things out of them and

[06:26] turned them almost into news stories so

[06:28] what you'll see in the book isn't

[06:31] you know exactly what you experienced in

[06:34] the videos in any way they really are

[06:37] new versions of the writing news stories

[06:39] and i feel like because of that they've

[06:41] turned into new

[06:43] things entirely to appreciate

[06:46] um i don't know if there's anything in

[06:49] particular about that process that stood

[06:51] out to you kate but um i think you

[06:53] really

[06:55] refined and changed those stories in a

[06:57] lot of ways

[06:59] well it's funny because i mean our

[07:00] videos are so short and that's something

[07:02] we struggle with we're like oh we can't

[07:03] fit this we can't talk about this but

[07:05] like

[07:06] they're so dense there's so much going

[07:09] on there's usually a couple different

[07:10] story lines and so to fit each of these

[07:13] questions into two spreads like we

[07:15] really had to pair even more out of

[07:17] those already short videos um so it was

[07:20] interesting to like help pull out one

[07:22] storyline and figure out like how how to

[07:25] tell it

[07:26] with some of the illustrations that we

[07:27] already had um it was just really fun

[07:30] going through the older stuff because we

[07:32] don't go through the back out level a

[07:33] lot i don't at least

[07:36] reconnect it oh oh

[07:38] oh i hope that

[07:40] nothing breaks

[07:42] oh no it broke

[07:44] wait a second

[07:46] seems fine to us oh it seems fine okay

[07:49] okay sorry about that so um

[07:52] from

[07:53] so i haven't introduced uh everybody

[07:55] that is currently on the live stream on

[07:58] the

[07:59] google meet

[08:00] so i am going to introduce them one by

[08:03] one and we have in order of appearance

[08:06] on my screen

[08:08] we have alex

[08:10] who is uh

[08:12] a writer and

[08:14] has

[08:15] wrote

[08:16] a a lot of stories about food and um

[08:20] um and about uh climate change and

[08:24] sort of related stuff have you gotten

[08:26] already your advanced copy or haven't

[08:30] i did but i'm a bad person and i forgot

[08:32] it so it's not i don't i can't lift it

[08:35] up and show it to you

[08:38] but i have it and it's a wonderful book

[08:40] and i i totally agree with everything

[08:42] you all are saying about how

[08:45] it's somehow different to see

[08:47] it

[08:48] on paper and it feels like it shouldn't

[08:51] be but it is and even though they're

[08:53] originally videos and they can do more

[08:56] in

[08:56] a video because you have so many more

[08:58] frames and we sort of compress them into

[09:01] four or five or six panels

[09:04] that

[09:05] it is different and it's kind of i don't

[09:07] know the same analogy of like why books

[09:09] in general still exist and why people

[09:11] still like having newspapers that they

[09:12] can physically hold

[09:15] whereas like you could

[09:16] have any information you want on the

[09:18] internet from any newspaper but it's

[09:20] still nice to have

[09:22] a book or a you know piece of paper in

[09:24] your hand so

[09:25] yeah i'm super excited to to have held

[09:28] it and

[09:29] unlike a digital thing where anytime you

[09:31] have internet you can look it up if you

[09:32] forget it you don't have

[09:34] it i'm looking forward to having it

[09:37] again

[09:38] maybe i'll have to go buy a new copy

[09:40] just just to make sure i have it still

[09:42] yeah you should you should you should uh

[09:44] buy a new one and also um

[09:47] that will um

[09:48] that will increase our sales by one

[09:52] thank you alex uh then i have uh julian

[09:57] who

[09:58] 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

[12:23] um we're giving away two books per

[12:26] platform so um six books total

[12:29] um

[12:30] so yeah we're that's that's what we're

[12:32] doing with the books uh we're probably

[12:33] going to be sending we did giveaway on

[12:35] patreon as well

[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

[59:27] you know

[59:29] sounding forced so we sort of played

[59:32] around with that and ad-libbed little

[59:33] but

[59:34] for the most part it seems like

[59:36] everything's pretty by the book

[59:40] yep

[59:41] following up from climate change and

[59:43] what came first plants or animals exotic

[1:02:27] answer this question from odello what

[1:02:29] what your fave b types

[1:02:32] i don't know if is still here but

[1:02:35] she is i see her

[1:02:37] hi wait what is it an a b type

[1:02:43] what are your favorite b types like

[1:02:44] types of bees

[1:02:46] oh types the beast

[1:02:49] that makes a lot more sense

[1:02:54] um

[1:02:55] who's your favorite person that's av

[1:02:57] types one

[1:03:11] um

[1:03:12] oh i just i love i mean all bees um

[1:03:17] we keep honey bees at at our house

[1:03:22] so

[1:03:22] i have a particular affinity for them

[1:03:25] because of them

[1:03:26] they're in our yard and

[1:03:28] they pollinate our garden but

[1:03:31] all native pollinators are

[1:03:34] so important

[1:03:35] and so at risk so

[1:03:39] if you can plant pollinator friendly

[1:03:41] plants

[1:03:42] around your home um

[1:03:44] even on the balcony space

[1:03:47] so important because there are so many

[1:03:49] bees

[1:03:50] and other pollinators that are so

[1:03:53] distinct and fascinating and they do

[1:03:55] they

[1:03:56] pollinate such particular

[1:03:59] um plants or crops and they're so

[1:04:02] important so i think they're all so

[1:04:04] fascinating

[1:04:05] because i don't know that i have a

[1:04:07] favorite other than honeybees

[1:04:10] would you make a a video about that

[1:04:12] melissa at some point

[1:04:15] we did the favorite apple maybe we

[1:04:17] should do the favorite b favorite b yeah

[1:04:20] that would be pretty awesome

[1:04:22] her favorite b

[1:04:24] is is not a v i think that's true my

[1:04:27] favorite b is

[1:04:29] is my kiddo b

[1:04:32] that is that is true

[1:04:33] [Laughter]

[1:04:37] i probably should have thought of that

[1:04:44] um we are uh

[1:04:46] we we should already be wrapping up

[1:04:49] because uh it's already nine

[1:04:52] well it's nine for me it's eight eastern

[1:04:55] time

[1:04:57] an hour has gone already through like

[1:05:00] here it goes

[1:05:02] like how does it have like how like when

[1:05:05] did it

[1:05:06] like i had planned a game

[1:05:08] for this live stream

[1:05:10] and i like picked a lot of words for

[1:05:12] that game and it was going to be amazing

[1:05:14] and now we don't have time for this

[1:05:18] great i'll i'm sure that the audience

[1:05:20] will love to know that we were going to

[1:05:22] do some awesome game that they will get

[1:05:23] to see now

[1:05:26] again

[1:05:30] um

[1:05:32] so since since we are going to

[1:05:35] be gone now i wonder if we should figure

[1:05:37] out a quick way to do a giveaway um

[1:05:40] i'm gonna say

[1:05:42] uh that if you want to win a book and

[1:05:43] you're in the chat right now

[1:05:46] uh just tweet at minute earth

[1:05:48] um saying

[1:05:52] i was going to say i was there or

[1:05:53] something like that but it should be

[1:05:54] something funny about your favorite

[1:05:56] woman

[1:05:57] your favorite thing you learned in the

[1:05:58] in the live stream

[1:06:01] do that and then uh

[1:06:04] how did wales get so big uh just in case

[1:06:07] someone just happens to be uh at

[1:06:10] replying us a random fact

[1:06:13] um and then uh we'll choose we'll choose

[1:06:16] one of those people um to give them a

[1:06:18] book that's probably not the best way to

[1:06:19] do this because that's that might be

[1:06:21] challenging

[1:06:23] um

[1:06:24] we'll give one of you or a couple of you

[1:06:26] a book um i guess i'll i'll dm you or

[1:06:29] something
