Did you enjoy this joint build with Adam Savage and Michael Stevens (Vsauce)? Watch them build a kendama together! ruclips.net/video/i8GD33DsRw8/видео.html
I love how freaked out Micheal was about his glasses. He kept asking if they broke and trying to give Adam hints on how important his glasses are to him.
Edison Roux, That's how most people react when they need glasses to see! When you rely on eyeglasses to see, you can get pretty sensitive to the possibility of your glasses breaking!
Vsauce, Michael here with Adam Savage. But what "IS" Adam Savage and how many of him could we fit into the earths sun? To answer that question lets first look at Brazil nuts!
Nope, probably, Adam's shortsighted... If that's the case, the glasses make everything appear to be smaller; but working in "short distance" allowes a short-sighted to take off the glasses... As the brain gets used to the smaller images, this CAN (in most cases) work like a magnifying-glass... I'm using this "tactic" myself (well - minus 6 dpt makes things appear VERY small)... Works great
Nah, he's just nearsighted. If he were shortsighted he'd probably be dead by now. And yes, when I take a wristwatch apart and put it back together I tend to take my glasses off if I'm not using a loupe.
+Drew Northup sry if i took the wrong translation (english's my 4th foreign language) - i meant he might have minus-dioptrins (rest still fits) (btw is there a difference between "shortsighted" and "nearsighted"? not that i fall into an embarassing trap somewhen ;)
nearsighted specifically means myopia, shortsighted is typically used to describe somebody who is either impulsive or bad at seeing the bigger picture/future.
In 1969 in Columbia, A mafia was found with 43000 tons of glasses. *Animation starts* but here is the thing about seagulls, do they like pancakes? and how many can you fit into them?
Honestly I chalked it up to him throwing Adam an easy way to explain it to the audience. It feels more natural to watch Adam explain something to Michael than to watch him explain something to the camera. Even though both methods are for the purpose of the camera.
Just shows that no one knows everything. There’s too much to know and learn. A mechanic knows about tools but not space. A scientist knows space but nothing about the car or tools required to work on car lol
@@nikkishins A agree with this. I think he knew what it was as well. I also do appreciate the fact that Michael is one of those people who will jump at the opportunity to show he doesn't know something. It's a good characteristic that a lot of "smart people" could learn from. It's okay to not know everything. It's not okay to willingly be ignorant of everything or pretend like you knew something for the sake of posterity. We all have embarrassing moments where our lack of knowledge or understanding shines through. Own it. Change it. Learn from it.
Michael is such a Geek. In a good way, I've known many geeks but the way he always makes sure everything is beyond accurate is both hilarious and worth admiring. Also, you can see the small bubbles of knowledge in his head: "We've got three voices, right, Adam?" you can just see Adam reaction telling himself, where the f*** is that guy going with that ?. Love it.
As a sound guy myself, this is a brilliant idea that I will have to remember from now on. Makes sooooo much more sense than mic elements for people who do wear glasses. Thank you Adam for sharing.
I LOVE that the dialogue isn't cut. This feels like a podcast in that fun, easy, friendly, stream of consciousness way as you two buzz around a project. This is really wonderful and upbeat. I love it.
The chemistry between Michael & Adam just make Brain Candy that much more valid. I hope more collabs such as this are normal. ESP.... maybe Adam and Derek (Veritasium)?
chemistry? I have never seen Adam less interested in holding a conversation with someone - he was entirely focused on the task at hand. normally in a one-day build, Adam's assistant would be asking about the process so the audience knows what's going on. here instead Michael was literally telling his life story. hoo da fuk cares. Does Michael even know why he's being filmed? Michael's weird obsession with his ruined glasses was distracting - eyeglasses cost about as much as a pizza these days. So these have a mike in them now - go to Warby Parker or Zenni or whatever and get another pair. Michael's mansplaining about "three voices" was cringeworthy. Does he not think that Adam Savage, a bright guy who's been on TV for decades, doesn't understand the concept of room reverberations and bone conduction? I'll say one thing though this was seriously illuminating on how I should hold a conversation with someone who's uninteresting, chatty and not very bright, if I want to be polite and seem interested.
I'm glad I'm not the only one missing any chemistry between those two. I kind of get the idea that Michael is in dire need of a script otherwise he's not interesting whereas Adam just has this kind of natural charm about him.
I want to see more of this. Just two friends hanging out, one working on something while the other fills the space with stories and chatter. It's so nice!
I'm really really glad Adam decided to make a RUclips channel. He's such a great personality and covers some really interesting topics and projects. It's like the production side of Mythbusters is still going :D
He's from the same batch number as Jordan Schlansky. Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 Terminator Batch Number: I-SC-13-M1 (infil, South Cali, unit 13, tier 1 media ops)
Zex Maxwell everybody got their thing haha. for me, it is my ice cream. I share everything except my ice cream. I would bite your ears out if anyone dares take a spoon off me lol.
Yeah glasses can be expensive. If you're ordering on high street, and you want the best lenses, you're gonna pay about 500€ for just the lenses. And then, it's kind of a no-brainer to spend an extra 200€ or more for frames, because what the heck. And then of course you've got insurance, it's pretty cheap, but it doesn't exactly cover somebody getting to work on your glasses with a Dremel. And the worst part is that if you need new ones made, you get to wait for a few weeks. Whether you're paying 20€ or 800€, you're all in the same queue. And then it could take weeks till you get used to the new ones, and then you never want to take those off.
I totally feel Michael's fear over his only pair of glasses being worked on. I'm about as blind as Adam (ie the 'cant see a stop sign at 15 ft comment), so when glasses are literally your only lifeline into functioning on a daily basis, the thought of losing them or damaging them is terrifying.
StarlightDemon71, I think that fear probably is common for everyone who wears prescription glasses! When you can't see without your glasses, you can get pretty worries about loosing you glasses!
How much our gene pool is deteriorating.... It's alarming how many people need aids to see properly. Especially with our eyes being our most prominent and most relied on sense to get around in the world. We killed natural selection. So we also need to take engineering our genes into our own hands.
i got like 6 laying around, just in case i cant find them. have one in my drawer besides the bed, and one on the counter and broken ones on top of my computer desk so at lest i can use them to find the others. you can buy cheap glasses online with just about any prescription. went to glasses shop near me and they wanted a minimum of 500dollars for glasses for me, then went online and bought 3 pars for 100dollars, they broke bought another 2 pairs for under 100dollars and a few months back i bought 4 pairs for around 150dollars (one of them was higher quality glass) seeing how i have used 5 pars over around 5 years and i can scale them with my prescription instead of having one that is no longer right.
@@HuyV Fuck natural selection. I don't think you deserve to die, because you are born with a small disorder... The absence of natural selection just goes to show that quality of life is increasing!
Luciano de Benedictis most Tested videos aren't like this. I definitely like this more than any of their other vids. They're just coming from a TV/movie background, so most of their stuff just seems weird on RUclips
+Ken Oakleaf I would agree with that when it comes to most RUclipsrs, but I wanna see what these guys could do with a big primetime budget. Mythbusters as it was could have never existed on RUclips because it cost way too much to make. Besides, Adam seems like the exact same person on TV and RUclips. It would be a science show, not a reality show.
I don't wear glasses and I don't care about the mic thing but this whole conversation was so damn good I watched the whole thing ! I'm actually sad its only 23 minutes ..
They have a harmonious natural timbre and pacing with each other; not rushed, or boringly slow, or discordant. Both speak with a certain lyrical pattern too
I've had some pretty deep conversations with stoners, but still what I said stands, especially when Michael goes on that rant about how you hear your own voice differently. That's one of those classic "Whoa dude" Bill & Ted sorta shit
***** I'm a stoner myself, it's just that most people (stoner or not) like to talk about things that they don't really understand. In my case, I'll ask questions if I don't know about something, but lots of people are too proud to do that. But yeah, this video would be what I'd like all my conversations to be: inspiring, respectful, interesting, open-minded, non-judgemental and ultimately educational! That's part of why I love Vsauce!
Yeah Michael is just a really awesome dude, and him and Adam just vibe together so beautifully, because they're such kindred spirits, I suppose you could say. They've got a lot of the same interests, do a lot of the same things, have similar jobs, similar personalities, they just.. vibe.
I actually really enjoy listening to michael talk. He's really clear and those pauses to allow you to "catch up" are actually a really great thing that a lot of people don't do. His voice is weirdly calming and relaxing to hear.
This is one of those things that remind me everyone actually lives in the same world, and what is separate in my head is not necessarily separate in real life.
I love how neither of them will hesitate to throw out a "Why?" Or "Explain that." and the other will launch straight into an explaination. Adam's insane creativity and practical skills, and Michael's love of knowledge and simple awe of the world around him pair together so wonderfully. I'll never get enough of Michael and Adam in the same room; I could listen to them talk for hours :)
I love Adams ability to multitasks, hes having an entire conversation with Michael and working on a very small and delicate project. To me, that is very impressive and shows his skill!
It was obvious that the quality of his replies and reactions dropped off while he was concentrating, but his multitasking conversational skills are better than mine when that's ALL I'm doing 😅
You can hear through it for a bit at 22:03, as Adam folds the glasses and tucks them into his shirt. Maybe not what you wanted to hear through it, but eh.
You gotta be an Adam Savage if you dare to glue something to glasses with cyanoacrylate without covering the glass with tape. I would never ever ever have the guts (or considering my skills - be stupid enough) to do that.
+KynigosTheWolf cyanoacrylate (superglue) causes many clear plastics (such as glasses lens) to become very foggy due to it acting as a solvent and actually melting a thin layer of the lens.
Not sure if you notice but he did when the mic came unseated. Thats why he had a solvent on hand in the lil spray bottle, although that also probably removed any coating that was on the glasses and not just the adhesive.
Cyanoacrylates you'll only remove mechanically. Put it on your glasses and they're DONE. DEAD. Forever. With solvent you'll only smear it into a thin film. But he didn't smudge the glasses:Cyanoacrylates will take forever to harden if you don't use either insta-set or sodium bicarbonate. The little spray bottle isn't solvent, it's insta-set accelerator - put it on ca glues and they harden instantly. (I read a forensic research paper that suggested cocaine would also work, but that's cost prohibitive.)
Dara MagUiginn Well to be fair Michael does own a channel with over 11 million subscribers and I wouldn't say Norm is the guy bringing in the majority subscribers for Tested at all. I'm personally here for Adam.
I'm nearsighted, too. Us, nearsighted people, we have a bad far eyesight but our close eyesight is often very good. In fact, it depends on our astgmatism and presbyopia levels, if we have. If our presbyopia level is higher than our myopia level, our near eyesight become bad. Idem, if we have an hypermetropic astigmatism. Obviously, we can have an hypermetropic or myopic astigmatism and presbiotia, in a same time.
i wish there were a million more episodes like this, love these two together so much. sad i didn’t know they toured when they did, don’t know how i missed it!!
River Song I broke the transmission I think :( I fully restored everything in it, the engine the flipping lights, interior, new seats, new weather strips, new carpet, new exhaust. One day i was driving, and i noticed for some reason it won't switch into 2nd gear, I tried to check relay connections to make sure it wasn't electronics, but no luck. It sits I'm my garage now.
Adam... God bless you for dealing with that. I am also a Craftsman and I know the frustration of someone talking to you about something unrelated whole your trying to stay in the zone. Bravo sir. I am a fan of you both. Keep putting material out. Creative people enjoy it.
Felt to me like Adam wasn't too interested to talk about accents - or knowledgeable -, while Michael would've talked about it for hours. I'd love to talk about accents with Michael! :P
Paul J. Morton no, it was just that it's kind of basic knowledge to him, I saw Adam actually just being not interested at all and just playing along and feeling far above the whole thing.
I think Micheal would talk about anything for hours; he seems like the type of person that doesn't just do brief quips, you push a button and he dumps a book's worth of related knowledge.
To me it seemed he wasn't disinterested. He was working on something that takes concentration and it's a bit hard to do that and work with someone you haven't really worked with before being an introvert. I would be the same way.
This is the video where I learn to really like this Michael from vsauce guy. He wasn't just informing or preforming, he was being personal and interesting. The two made a great combination in this video of talking and building!
I burst out laughing when Adam put on Michael's glasses and start talking like him🤣 P.S. I love how you talk Michael. Thank for pause to let me catch you up!
I think Michael is one of my most favorite people ever. Paired up with Adam I could just listen to you guys all day. You should do podcasts or something
I have glasses and i am a little paranoid about others touching them, but tbh if i let anyone touch them, and "mod" them, i would only let Adam do it. V^___^V
Great one. I can watch Adam building anything, the fact that i've spended the last 23 minutes watching him working on glasses just proves it and just to say... Vsauce participation were great, the talk between them were so funny to watch that those 23 minutes just flew by so quickly...
Laughed out loud at Adam's reaction to Coke. I"m with Adam - I can't understand how people use a brand name as a general term for something. That's like saying "I drive a Ford" even though you drive a Chevy.
agreed - I work in the Automotive business and people driving SUV's are constantly calling them all Jeeps .. PS .. Kleenex would be *an exception - it is a brand of facial tissue, but is almost universally accepted as substitute - and others that can be found in the comments below
I would be more inclined to say soda vs pop however I've always just called each one by their name. If there is only Pepsi in the fridge ill ask for some Pepsi not soda or pop.
These two often give me insight into things I never realized weren't quite as I thought they were. I never listen to myself as a recording but I often get understood as someone with a softer voice than I experience having, which to me sounds slightly more rich since I hear it as more basey because of bone conduction!
I really enjoyed the discussion about the 3 different voices. It reminds me of how we see ourselves in a mirror versus how other people see us and when we see ourselves in photos, which can be similar to how others see us or how we see ourselves in a mirror depending on the camera. I understand that we can be quite self-conscious about how we look and sound and it has much to with them being unfamiliar to us. However, what others hear and see of us is normal to them and they accept us regardless.
I run a motion capture studio. During our shoots, we capture face, body, and voice simultaneously. The face and body are just optical, but the microphones are wired and kind of invasive. This gives me a couple ideas, since our sound engineer uses very similar mike elements.

How awesome would it be if Michael and Adam hosted a science show on TV?
omg, This needs to happen! :)
bucky13 collaboration on vsauce with the gang.
bucky13 I would rather watch semi-real Adam and Michael on here than 100% scripted Adam and Michael on TV.
+Ken Oakleaf I would agree with that when it comes to most RUclipsrs, but I wanna see what these guys could do with a big primetime budget. Mythbusters as it was could have never existed on RUclips because it cost way too much to make. Besides, Adam seems like the exact same person on TV and RUclips. It would be a science show, not a reality show.
yeh something here they go about busting myths or something, and end up exploding a bunch of stuff
These two are a well matched pair. When it comes to combining youtubers. Awesome!!!
Weird to see Adam called a RUclipsr.
Vsauce is a thinker
While adam is the tinker
Get it?
I don't wear glasses and I don't care about the mic thing but this whole conversation was so damn good I watched the whole thing ! I'm actually sad its only 23 minutes ..
Adam AND Michael in the same video.
I can die happy now.
Jet Lag they are going a tour together!!
Jet Lag
Amen, brother
Vsauce, Adam here
Could you imagine :o
This needs to happen!
Vested... comeon....
LeonardChurch33 It will

I'm surprised they didn't actually TEST the mic. Therefore the glasses hack is UNTESTED.
Michael: “Yours(eyes) are blue.”
Adam: “Mine are very blue, it’s true. Which is great when I dress up as Chewbacca-“
Me: “wait, what”
the boybrutus I looked up chewy and his eyes are black
Adam was probably being sarcastic
He meant the actor has blue eyes
@@arissantorisonmars9271 But like. He said it like he dresses up as chewbacca all the time.
You can see blue eyes a lot easier rather than if he had brown eyes and then dressed up as Chewbacca his eyeballs would blend in.
The ironic part is neither has blue eyes, they have clear eyes that appear blue due to light scatter and not reflection
Michael without glasses. I've seen it all. Time to pack up the keyboard and move out to the woods.
I guess perhaps I just don't pay attention to his glasses in every video. I've seen them all.
Yeah, and in older videos he didn't wear glasses at all.
Michael is so curious I love it
These guys could be talking about anything anything at all and I would enjoy listening to it can someone explain why?
Tristen Hernandez they have actual personality
you like them both
Tristen Hernandez you find them both very attractive.
They have a harmonious natural timbre and pacing with each other; not rushed, or boringly slow, or discordant. Both speak with a certain lyrical pattern too
Tristen Hernandez the way they pronounce, speak, and their voice is hot, lol
This was awesome. Funnily enough it felt like the kind of things that two people talk about when they're sitting around smoking weed
FracturedPixels ...except that they actually know what they're talking about! 😂
I've had some pretty deep conversations with stoners, but still what I said stands, especially when Michael goes on that rant about how you hear your own voice differently. That's one of those classic "Whoa dude" Bill & Ted sorta shit
***** I'm a stoner myself, it's just that most people (stoner or not) like to talk about things that they don't really understand. In my case, I'll ask questions if I don't know about something, but lots of people are too proud to do that. But yeah, this video would be what I'd like all my conversations to be: inspiring, respectful, interesting, open-minded, non-judgemental and ultimately educational! That's part of why I love Vsauce!
Yeah Michael is just a really awesome dude, and him and Adam just vibe together so beautifully, because they're such kindred spirits, I suppose you could say. They've got a lot of the same interests, do a lot of the same things, have similar jobs, similar personalities, they just.. vibe.
FracturedPixels Interesting and intelligent people don't need weed.
Even though the mic hidden in the glasses is a brilliant idea, the most interesting thing in this video was the conversation. Really enjoyed it.
I actually really enjoy listening to michael talk. He's really clear and those pauses to allow you to "catch up" are actually a really great thing that a lot of people don't do. His voice is weirdly calming and relaxing to hear.
Two of my favorite Sciencemen geeking out about glasses. Great stuff guys.
This is one of those things that remind me everyone actually lives in the same world, and what is separate in my head is not necessarily separate in real life.
It's like the Marvel Cinematic Universe but in real life. I'm like, "All these super cool RUclipsrs I watch... are in the same universe... whoaaaa"
I love how neither of them will hesitate to throw out a "Why?" Or "Explain that." and the other will launch straight into an explaination. Adam's insane creativity and practical skills, and Michael's love of knowledge and simple awe of the world around him pair together so wonderfully. I'll never get enough of Michael and Adam in the same room; I could listen to them talk for hours :)
9:13 "Tell me if I'm getting in too close." Goes in for the kiss.
Josh someone make Adam and Michael fan fic.
21:17 #mancrush #layitonmebaby
I'm dead
Le barf
I love Adams ability to multitasks, hes having an entire conversation with Michael and working on a very small and delicate project. To me, that is very impressive and shows his skill!
It was obvious that the quality of his replies and reactions dropped off while he was concentrating, but his multitasking conversational skills are better than mine when that's ALL I'm doing 😅
Love how Michel got relaxed with Adam and just talked about himself. High five for the soda transformation :D
Hahaha. I love this combo here. I want so many more videos with you two in them.
8:06 "My glasses have a slightly thicker frame than yours"
Classic nerd posturing.
michael is really trying to get the point along, that these glasses are very important to him
I feel like I know Adam better from Tested than from Mythbusters nowadays.
CuffRox i guess because in Mythbusters, he's limited to what the topic is about and it's pretty scripted too..
Only issue with this episode.. I want to hear what the mic sounds like :\
Right? Also, what kind of mic is it?! They never posted it :(
They did say it. It's a Contryman B6 mic
@MassiveD ...No he wasn't. He wasn't even wearing his glasses half of the time.
@@devinchristianson5849 too bad they are expensive as all hell
You can hear through it for a bit at 22:03, as Adam folds the glasses and tucks them into his shirt.
Maybe not what you wanted to hear through it, but eh.
I come back to this video so often. I just love watching the chemistry between Michael and Adam.
You gotta be an Adam Savage if you dare to glue something to glasses with cyanoacrylate without covering the glass with tape. I would never ever ever have the guts (or considering my skills - be stupid enough) to do that.
what happens if it gets on glass ? and why that specific type of glue ?
+KynigosTheWolf cyanoacrylate (superglue) causes many clear plastics (such as glasses lens) to become very foggy due to it acting as a solvent and actually melting a thin layer of the lens.
Not sure if you notice but he did when the mic came unseated. Thats why he had a solvent on hand in the lil spray bottle, although that also probably removed any coating that was on the glasses and not just the adhesive.
***** The kicker is actually safe for clear plastics
Cyanoacrylates you'll only remove mechanically. Put it on your glasses and they're DONE. DEAD. Forever. With solvent you'll only smear it into a thin film. But he didn't smudge the glasses:Cyanoacrylates will take forever to harden if you don't use either insta-set or sodium bicarbonate. The little spray bottle isn't solvent, it's insta-set accelerator - put it on ca glues and they harden instantly. (I read a forensic research paper that suggested cocaine would also work, but that's cost prohibitive.)
I love how Michael can't stop talking haha. He's so great.
Great touch by the editor playing with the audio when Michael was describing sound
Cool thing about Michael is that he manages to be inquisitive, without being irritating like Norm.
Dara MagUiginn who the fuck is norm
The Asian guy on a lot of the Tested videos.
Dara MagUiginn Well to be fair Michael does own a channel with over 11 million subscribers and I wouldn't say Norm is the guy bringing in the majority subscribers for Tested at all. I'm personally here for Adam.
aren't we all here for Adam? #mancrush
Dara MagUiginn fuck you dont be racist
I relate to Michael looking only in general directions and not at specific things because he's not wearing glasses and also being claustrophobic
Wait a minute... Adam can't see anything without glasses and he is using a drill on someonelse's glasses without wearing any glasses?
I'm nearsighted, too. Us, nearsighted people, we have a bad far eyesight but our close eyesight is often very good. In fact, it depends on our astgmatism and presbyopia levels, if we have. If our presbyopia level is higher than our myopia level, our near eyesight become bad. Idem, if we have an hypermetropic astigmatism. Obviously, we can have an hypermetropic or myopic astigmatism and presbiotia, in a same time.
Myriam M. Hrybynyk you way overdid it you could have just explained it by saying he’s nearsighted
He's nearsighted. Also, if you're near sighted, sometimes it's easier to see close without glasses. And I found the explanation interesting
you two should have a channel together
myth Breakers lol
It should be called "Brain Candy".
V-Busters. Also the name of the porno I'm working on
I like these two. They're good people.
i wish there were a million more episodes like this, love these two together so much. sad i didn’t know they toured when they did, don’t know how i missed it!!
In the UK we used to wrap that aluminium tape around 10 pence pieces and public telephones would accept them as 50 pence.
Jellyf0x - That is $0.50 worth of fraud.
30 YEARS DUNGEON
HowToCode - It is a 50p coin, yes. However the difference is $0.50, converted.
Hes saving 40p by spending 10p instead of 50p. It is 40p worth of fraud. 40p converts to $0.50.
+HowToCode It wouldn't be 50p fraud, it is 40p, which is about $0.50 (0.49). You can't figure that one out?
2 blind mice, 2 blind mice, see how they work, see how they work!
With receding hair lines. ;P
And excellent facial hair.
That's super weird, I had never heard of this song until earlier today.
2 blind mice, 2 blind mice.
Thats how it works
i love the way michael talks, it's really clear and sounds good, what is perfect for what he does in his videos.
do you want spit facts?
Eyyyyyy! Corvette!!
River Song Yes, its mine, i used to drive it everyday.
I have a '74! Why don't you drive it as much now?
River Song I broke the transmission I think :( I fully restored everything in it, the engine the flipping lights, interior, new seats, new weather strips, new carpet, new exhaust.
One day i was driving, and i noticed for some reason it won't switch into 2nd gear, I tried to check relay connections to make sure it wasn't electronics, but no luck. It sits I'm my garage now.
Ah no that sucks... I'm restoring my '74 right now. It's hard work man that really sucks. What year is it?
it's fun watching Michael learning something
Adam... God bless you for dealing with that. I am also a Craftsman and I know the frustration of someone talking to you about something unrelated whole your trying to stay in the zone. Bravo sir. I am a fan of you both. Keep putting material out. Creative people enjoy it.
I cannot believe you guys did not let us hear the mic :(
when?
They were using the mic when he put the glasses in his collar, you could hear it brushing against his shirt.
Or maybe that was the mic in the shirt ... that he had on the entire clip.
hahaha :D no :P They don't even conneted mic :) that was lav skin mic
Yeah, because this isn´t an edited show, and if you didn´t see it happen, it never did.
Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side and a dark side and it binds the galaxy together.
dont you mean duck tape
T4T3RT0T it's actually duct tape not duck tape
"Don't worry it won't be destructive"
*pulls out a Dremel*
WHAT!!! ADAM IS 49!!! JAMIE IS 60!!! THE WORLD MAKES NO SENSE!!!
Tori is 46.... this makes no sense to me
Wait... I'M TWENTY! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!?
Kari Byron is 42! That is really just crazy thinking about it
what
poor michael, we can see he didnt wanted his glasses upgraded but got it anyway
i love the way Michael delivers his content, articulates his words, his hand genstures and expressions. I strive to oneday be like that!
Thanks for posting. It was nice to hang out with you guys.
Felt to me like Adam wasn't too interested to talk about accents - or knowledgeable -, while Michael would've talked about it for hours. I'd love to talk about accents with Michael! :P
no, he cant talk while working, he needs to focus
Paul J. Morton no, it was just that it's kind of basic knowledge to him, I saw Adam actually just being not interested at all and just playing along and feeling far above the whole thing.
I think Micheal would talk about anything for hours; he seems like the type of person that doesn't just do brief quips, you push a button and he dumps a book's worth of related knowledge.
To me it seemed he wasn't disinterested. He was working on something that takes concentration and it's a bit hard to do that and work with someone you haven't really worked with before being an introvert. I would be the same way.
I think Adam's reaction to Michael telling him he grew up drinking "Coke" was one of the most relatable moments I've seen for either of these guys.
This is the video where I learn to really like this Michael from vsauce guy. He wasn't just informing or preforming, he was being personal and interesting. The two made a great combination in this video of talking and building!
2 of my favorite science people, I would very much like to see brain candy! But I live in Denmark :/
Sarah Vittrup They should make a show in Denmark!
OLBastholm if it was within an hours drive id totally go!
I burst out laughing when Adam put on Michael's glasses and start talking like him🤣
P.S. I love how you talk Michael. Thank for pause to let me catch you up!
I think Michael is one of my most favorite people ever. Paired up with Adam I could just listen to you guys all day. You should do podcasts or something
Wow Adam looks older than I remember, now he looks like an evil genius instead of a mad man, haha
Connor King he had to lvl up
I have glasses and i am a little paranoid about others touching them, but tbh if i let anyone touch them, and "mod" them, i would only let Adam do it. V^___^V
Maxwell Rodgers just throw vsous under the buss
Why the furry emoticon, though?
Great one.
I can watch Adam building anything, the fact that i've spended the last 23 minutes watching him working on glasses just proves it and just to say... Vsauce participation were great, the talk between them were so funny to watch that those 23 minutes just flew by so quickly...
Watching you guys together... I really wish I could attend Brain Candy.
Laughed out loud at Adam's reaction to Coke. I"m with Adam - I can't understand how people use a brand name as a general term for something. That's like saying "I drive a Ford" even though you drive a Chevy.
It's the same as saying "sharpie" instead of "permanent marker."
agreed - I work in the Automotive business and people driving SUV's are constantly calling them all Jeeps .. PS .. Kleenex would be *an exception - it is a brand of facial tissue, but is almost universally accepted as substitute - and others that can be found in the comments below
I would be more inclined to say soda vs pop however I've always just called each one by their name. If there is only Pepsi in the fridge ill ask for some Pepsi not soda or pop.
I always grew up calling a circular saw a Skilsaw, regardless of brand.
12799MaDeuce interestingly enough, the whole country of Armenia calls any off-roaders or compact crossovers "Jeep". Even if it's a ford or a honda.
These two often give me insight into things I never realized weren't quite as I thought they were. I never listen to myself as a recording but I often get understood as someone with a softer voice than I experience having, which to me sounds slightly more rich since I hear it as more basey because of bone conduction!
I feel like I just watched Adam and Michael on a date
Peridusk
A terrible one sided date where Adam got a little annoyed and Micheal couldn't tell so he kept awkwardly annoying him.
slayerficated I didn't catch that, at what part?
***** No one said they didn't like it.
***** Perfect.
I was hoping that it wasn't just me picking up on that.
Something must have imploded somewhere in the universe when these guys met.
These guys talking to eachother gives me such a joy, such a kind and intelligent vibe.
I really enjoyed the discussion about the 3 different voices.
It reminds me of how we see ourselves in a mirror versus how other people see us and when we see ourselves in photos, which can be similar to how others see us or how we see ourselves in a mirror depending on the camera.
I understand that we can be quite self-conscious about how we look and sound and it has much to with them being unfamiliar to us.
However, what others hear and see of us is normal to them and they accept us regardless.
hey guys! Vsauce Michael here! And did u just fucking break my glasses
Sanic James yes
I am so excited to see these in action. Will be seeing Brain Candy Live on March 16th! Woohoo!
spit facts?
Actually its a storm drain reference.
I run a motion capture studio. During our shoots, we capture face, body, and voice simultaneously. The face and body are just optical, but the microphones are wired and kind of invasive. This gives me a couple ideas, since our sound engineer uses very similar mike elements.
An amazing build! I would have never thought of putting a mike inside of glasses.
A dentist doesn't use a drill. Its called a handpiece. Because people tend not to react well to having a drill shoved into their mouth.
yet everyone knows it as a dentists drill.. what people don't react well to are smartasses..
Jacob Johnson Glad you're giving everyone a smartass to react to.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. DAMM SON
Is global warming real or is it just this sick burn I'm feeling?
He's not wrong. You can try to ginger it up and hide behind soft language all you want, it's obviously a drill and everybody knows it.
