Vsauce! I'm Jake
and today I have two very special announcements for you
and they are SO special in fact
that we all had to get together
ALL the Vsauces.
For example, we have a Michael Stevens
-Hey. -Oh, hello there.
And we also have Kevin Lieber!
*laughter* That's true Kevin.
-Oh, goodness. -(high-pitched and cracking) That guy! What's h- what's he gonna say next?!
-(high-pitched) I don't even know!
The first announcement is, uh, a... what is it, Michael?
Well, we want to talk about...
The Curiosity Box!... by Vsauce!
It is something that we have been working on
for two years. You might have seen
holiday boxes in the previous years; that was us...
testing and experimenting to see...
what worked. And- and this one is- is very special
because... it comes from the heart.
I- it seriously does. That's not just a joke.
It's something that we have worked on for a long time.
It's something that we all wish we had
when we were kids, and we wish we had today.
-Except we don't because it does exist now! -It exists now!
It really exists, and this comes...
-*thinks*...quarterly, every three months. -Quarterly, yes, four times a year.
So one of these comes to our house and it's full-
I mean, it's HEAVY. This thing is heavy,
and tell us... tell us what's inside!
Well, you get a bunch of awesome experiments,
and just things to share, and things that are very...
curious.
For example, one item I am wearing right now!
-Oh, that's right! -It is a, uh, VSauce shirt,
actually, Kevin...
uh, came up with the design. Good work, Kevin!
Yeah, these aren't things we just found laying around.
These are things that we crafted, that mean a lot to us,
it's a way for us to reach out to YOU
in ways that aren't just videos.
No, it's, uh, OK, so, little bit of attention here,
but, for me, and I think for you and also for Kevin,
videos are a way to share things that we've learned,
share experiences, but it's not something that you can touch and hold.
It's... passive.
And this allows us to give YOU something
that we really care about and that we really like,
and share that experience with you.
And you get to experience it in whatever way you see fit,
which is the coolest part.
So not only is there a T-shirt, but there's also something
that I am really excited about.
And Michael was instrumental in choosing this thing...
The Vapor/Liquid Equilibrium Demonstrator.
But this is what it looks like... MAYBE...
we have a bunch of different ones, there's different colors, and different shapes.
But, what's happened?
Well, your hand is warming the liquid and the vapor
in that lower bulb, and so...
*hisses*
those molecules start moving a lot faster than the ones
up here- *laughter* -OH!
And the molecules up here lose this
push-of-war... and...well...
the liquid goes up and so does some vapor,
and it looks like it boils, but it's not boiling.
There's more that you can do with this, though,
which is all in the magazine that comes in here.
But I've probably said too much; it's a Curiosity Box, after all,
not a, uh... You-Already-Know-What's-In-It Box.
*laughter*
The Vapor/Liquid Equilibrium Demonstrator IS unique to this box,
just like the shirt, and one other specific Curiosity Box item
I'm going to share with you... is this.
-Do you want me to hold a side? -I would love for you to hold a side.
So it's a LONG poster, right?
And it's s- kind of some cool images from the Apollo Program,
specifically Apollo... 11.
I wish I was as tall as you...
-Isn't it great up here?! -This is so great!
Look at this poster. What is it actually made of?
It's not just lines, it's...
tiny, TINY, text! You really need a magnifying glass to read it,
but it's the entire transcript of...
all the... audio transmissions done during the Apollo 11 mission,
the first mission to the Moon.
"The Eagle has landed," "One small step for man,"
and it's all on here, the whole story.
And this is something that we made.
That's all we're gonna show you from the box,
but this is something that we're really, REALLY, excited about,
because it isn't just a thing to buy.
It's an experience to share.
And we are really, really proud of it.
And one of the coolest things, I think, and I think you think
and Kevin thinks, about the Box,
is that uh...
-do... do you wanna say it? -Yeah.
A portion of all the procedes from every Box goes to Alzheimer's research.
This is a huge deal.
It's the thing I'm most proud about.
Uh, so far, Vsauce has been able to donate more than $50,000
to Alzheimer's research.
How incredible is that? So...
uh, yeah, I love this Box, I love curiosity, as we all know,
and I love... I love Inq.
Oh yeah, Inq (Ink) the Octopus!
-And that is short for Inquisitive, because he is just a curious little fellow. -Yeah!
This is the Box, it's really, really cool. If you want, there is a link in the description
to check it out. It's curiositybox.com.
It's something we've worked really hard on.
If you actually wanna know everything in the box, if you wanna spoil it, that's fine.
There is a playlist right here
with my own unboxing and also unboxing of
other people that have just gotten it and uploaded it to YouTube.
And the last thing that we wanted to say...
is, uh... is about D.O.N.G.
The D.O.N.G. channel, it's back and better than ever!
If you ever wanted to do something online now, guys,
if you wanted to buy something online,
well, it's a D.O.N.G. So you can go to YouTube.com/DONG
and check it out. And guess who the hosts are gonna be?
-Who? -You...
-Wait, that's me... -That's you. -THAT's you, this me. That's Kevin.
*more laughter and large intakes of breath*
That's true. We are all going to be the hosts of every video,
not all at the same time, but intermittently,
we'll be hosting all the episodes.
You're gonna have LÜT, you're gonna have D.O.N.G.,
you're gonna have Game LÜT.
It's really, really cool. We're very, very excited for that to be back,
there's actually a new episode out, RIGHT NOW, that I am hosting,
so go check it out. YouTube.com/DONG
And I think that's... that's... that's it, right?
Those are the two updates; we never do updates.
-But these were very important. -It felt good though.
-It did! -And it was good for all three of us to actually be together in the same room.
-That so rarely happens. -It is very rare.
Like, maybe we could do just a big...
a big photo, wow, you're so light...
Just do a big photo together.
And as always...
(together) Thanks for watching.
