My husband, four children (12, 10, 4, and 2), and myself prefer to watch Smarter Every Day, The Brain Scoop, and Veritasium instead of network TV. We cuddle up at the end of the day and flip on YouTube on our Apple TV... We've watched every SED video available on the channel over the past year or so and now have moved on to SED2! I say all this to explain the importance of the next sentence... We have never laughed so hard as we did along with George (and Destin) in this video. The chicken headed video might have come close.

2016-12-22 20:41:20 +0000 UTCI will never look at opals quite the same way again. I am not sure how I imagined them being dug up, but that was definitely not what I had in mind.

2016-12-21 02:24:20 +0000 UTCYou've had lots of people on the show, but this guy is one of my absolute favorites. (Also, nice touch with the outro card. I suspect it'll mostly be noticed by my fellow Awanas-turned-Athests =) )
2016-12-20 21:50:11 +0000 UTCI absolutely LOVE his logic... "Can you still do it?" "Well, what do you think the rope is for?"
