Meme Fraud Gameshow | Extended Cut

Enjoy the extended cut of the gameshow segment featured in this video. It was somehow more chaotic than the edit made it look. This clip features Taha's betrayal, Melissa's confusion, and Sabrina's complete lack of preparedness.

This Meeting Ran Long | AIP out of Context

As we prepare for what is going to be a very chaotic set of weeks, we naturally avoided talking about work as much as possible. Enjoy. 


P.S. Melissa wants you to know it was her younger siblings who broke the microwaves, not her. Comment if you think that's true.

hello i need your assistance

Want to help me with an upcoming video? 

Can you email an audio clip (mp3 or wav) of you saying "SABRINA! DOES! CRIME! but not in an illegal way" to answerinprogress@gmail.com? 

Use the subject line "Sabrina Does Crime" to make sure I don't miss it.

The clips will be grouped together to form a "crowd" to intro a bit in an upcoming video - kinda like a gameshow.

Thanks and sorry to Taha who has to filter through the emails and I didn't warn ab...

Why Small Talk Sucks | Director's Commentary

Talking about that small talk / talking to strangers video and how it continues to be the most personally significant video I've made as someone who constantly forgets about having social anxiety until it's too late. I also spend half the time ragging on the motion graphics in this one. Hope you enjoy!

i taught an AI to solve the trolley problem | Director's Commentary

Long video means long commentary, sorry. Catch me navigating the value of taking time to make things good, acknowledging our responsibility to consult with experts, and still having a bit of a crisis about AI ethics. It's a mixed bag which you probably expected from the video. Sorry about that.

what local diets get wrong | Director's Commentary

another commentary? yes. I learned so much while making this video - not just about farming practices, but how to tell this story when i realized in the middle of filming that my original hypothesis had failed.

I recommend grabbing a snack for this one, enjoy!

We have a patreon-only podcast but it's weird to call it the patreon-only podcast; what kinda name is that?!

Help us fix it by suggesting names in the comments. Maybe we'll use one, maybe we'll use them all. We're clearly not above renaming videos way after publishing - whose to say a podcast is any exception.
