1:34 Stephan has betrayed you, he was wearing a Kurzgesagt shirt

[@SciShow]

Contrary to popular belief, most educational KZbin channels are actually all huge fans of each other.

[@MarkAClarke]

SciShow this awesome !! Love sci Channel!!

[@AndreVandal]

Is there actually a popular belief on this subject? :P

[@willburden1597]

SciShow oh that’s good then (I guess?), have you ever considered making anything like SciShow shirts?

[@josephwodarczyk977]

Nedrub, I checked and found the merch page. For whatever reason, they don't seem to have it linked anywhere on the channel page or anything, but it does exist. store.dftba.com/collections/scishow Edit: Why no SciShow tie guys? Is it one of a kind or discontinued or something?

[@jonathanzybert]

Is there no ultra-rare "I tied SciShow Quiz Show" pin?

[@SciShow]

Whoa. That's a great idea.

[@beilii]

Zybert There is...they "invented" one the last time the contestants tied, but forgot about it.

[@MrHSX]

+SciShow and the couple that get those pins must find each other through the beacons placed inside the pins?!

[@SomeoneBeginingWithI]

there should be!

[@beilii]

They tied on the WheezyWaiter episode where Stefan announced the invention of the tied pin.

[@pirate1234567891]

If Hank started charging for A's Michael would want to change his last name...

[@KeeliaSilvis]

I'M KEELIA SILVIS. MATTHEW WAS PLAYING FOR ME. Patreon FTW.

[@jcortese3300]

If it's a tie, do they win an even more coveted quantum-mechanical "I Neither Won Nor Lost SciShow Quiz Show" pin? As long as they don't look at it and collapse the state?

[@yurtttttt96]

Janis Cortese schrödingers quiz

[@FiMilton]

"I just read the script man" 😂

[@SCRedstone]

Is Stefan wearing a Kurzgesagt shirt?

[@deltav9784]

i was going to say that :P

[@morganbiddlecom]

They're for sale on DFTBA I think.

[@Skrill99]

I have noticed and the only reason I came to the comment section was because I wondered if anyone else noticed

[@deltav9784]

same

[@jackdalton2538]

I was just about to comment this!

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

If you kill a bee, it becomes a was.

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

And never bet against a tardigrade.

[@sandoval9276]

good one

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

Two dead bees are a were. Bee larvae are will bees. I could do this all day!

[@sandoval9276]

yea but pls don't

[@davidbuschhorn6539]

That groan people let out when they hear a REALLY terrible pun? That's the exact sound of a tiny piece of their soul chipping off, withering and dying. From the pun.

[@bunnyflavoreddumpling3223]

Hi Hank and the rest of scishow!!!

[@SciShow]

Hi!

[@MsHello08]

I really found this episode funny. Keep the SciShow QuizShow going!! Love them all!

[@farawaywayfarer7685]

"Don't get on a finger" -Hank 2017

[@subzerogallant5725]

Does it make me weird that I get kind of excited when I know the answer to some of these?

[@KillerDrPepper5]

No, I started to getting really excited to because I knew 2 of the answers

[@SciShow]

Not weird at all!

[@koushuu]

Just don't become those self-entitled ignorant showoff doctorates on the internet, otherwise it's fine.

[@oliverhees4076]

i made an educated guess of b for the lake question because the lake's name is natron and i knew that the symbol for sodium, Na, is derived from the word natrium

[@Nadiki]

I knew the answers because I read too many National Geographic articles...

[@BMSphoenix]

Is Hank drunk or something? He was all sorts of goofy today.

[@SciShow]

Hank is all sorts of goofy everyday!

[@sorenkair]

who let hank on the computer again.

[@brentc6095]

Who the eff is Hank?

[@pranamd1]

He probably didn't get any REM sleep. Babies will do that to you.

[@microbuilder]

"I got bum information from a Discovery channel documentary" "what a surprise" burn! LOL As a fairly awkward person, I must say these are some of my favorite episodes SciShow does...makes me feel right at home.

[@Master_Therion]

DFTBA: Don't forget to BEE awesome.

[@schadenfreudebuddha]

don't forget the Bea Arthur. daddy fought terrible bear attacks. dang feet taken by ants.

[@tyrannasaurruss6329]

Bah-Duh-Tshhh

[@maxe381]

"Are you okay? I'm very strong..." 😂😂😂😂😂

[@itsSebastianl0lz]

Who else remembers the Spongebob episode, when he uses those traveling rocks to deliver Krusty Krab pizza but gets yelled at for forgetting the Coke and Squidward throws the pizza in the fish's face ?

[@OfficialKale]

Sebastian Greiner Now we know it is real.

[@neonsense_oc]

Sebastian Greiner its not just a boulder, its a rock

[@Felixkeeg]

Ohhh, so THAT'S what this episode was about. Nice catch

[@ahilan914]

Actually, it's a diet Dr. Kelp. It's sad that I remember that.

[@elisasancho600]

*DON'T TELL ME YOU FORGOT MY DRINK*

[@josephwodarczyk977]

When he was giving the explanation for the rocks, I couldn't stop laughing at the thought of this. Someone just finds a bunch of boulders with computers strapped to them. They keep walking and just find more and the next morning the rocks have all moved by magic.

[@RangaBonsai]

This cracked me up so much. Good job. Can't wait for Roasted like a Hornet and Poop with Force to come out 🤣

[@conniesblankpages3656]

why does hank always acts so goofy when there's no script for him? i think i like him better now haha

[@mollybutler4797]

Stefan the model is great.

[@HermanVonPetri]

Yes, I always enjoy seeing Stefan. I particularly enjoyed his appearance in this one.

[@nikolakonecna7070]

+

[@nyagineko5064]

I like how each episode is less serious than the last

[@Pinkstinkie]

In fairness to the Discovery Channel, they did do a segment on the ice moving the stones across the desert.

[@Pinkstinkie]

And then Giorgio Tsoukalos appeared right after and said, "I'm not saying it's aliens but. . ."

[@michaelpytel3280]

Poop with Force, Roasted Like a Hornet, and Naked Mole Rats with Gusto. You could put those on T-shirts as well as Albums.

[@ugh.2923]

Wait they strapped gps trackers onto rocks? Ah science, only you can be this weird :^D

[@ktr0000n]

I had this on in the background and was REALLY surprised to hear my name. Hey there Keelia, you got the good phonetic spelling!

[@BrenoLuna]

Do you guys happen to have a Robert in staff whose nickname is SciShow Bob? #askingtherealquestions

[@SciShow]

We'll work on that. We have a SciShow Bill!

[@ohnokylewhy2841]

SciShow Maybe one day you'll have a SciShow Bill Nye (and wow, what a crossover that'd be)

[@legofreak5769]

"Poop With Force" is the sequel to "Ulcerative Colitis: A Song"

[@__cake_._2429]

Hank, you should have wagered 1199 points, to leave 1

[@Tfin]

1000, in case Matt bet 1101 to beat Hank's 1200x2.

[@winterswept6151]

Hank made it 30 seconds into this video before coming up with an idea for a new company he wants to start....classic

[@Evadooker]

thought from the thumbnail it was tai lopez. here in my garaghgghee

[@918police4]

Evadooker xD

[@LeeMinhaoTheMinsterLee]

Evadooker if tai comes he'll win everything. Cos he has knoooowledge

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

This episode is just so full of wonderful quotes! "...for a little extra cook time."

[@rhapsodyswoboda2520]

That was hilarious! I love SciShow Quiz Show! Have you thought about any background music during? Favorite on youtube regardless!

[@HermanVonPetri]

That'd be cool considering all three of them are musicians. I'd love to hear the different styles each of them would come up with.

[@kaicube5967]

"what do you do for a living?" "Oh I take a gps and duct tape it to a rock. Exciting stuff"

[@pixlepotumus]

I like how you guys somehow manage to put the least and most amount of effort into this show.

[@AnfalasHerdsman]

10:35 why are we talkin bout this? they ignore him and keep talking... killed me xD

[@alpinechick53]

Hank clearly had a large cup of coffee before filming!

[@TeresaMcD]

An all time favorite episode. Love the dynamics!

[@doctoryellow]

The real answer here is that we all won with this episode.

[@egalomon]

Hank's a bit boisterous today... (is that a real word?)

[@jakehyams8659]

egalomon yes, a darn good word too

[@laurahinze4035]

I watch this everytime it comes out and it brings me both great information and great joy :) keep up the good work!!

[@dion789]

I don't remember what the host's name is, but he and Hank are always great together.

[@Nadiki]

I wanted to scream "Fructose!" at Hank so badly.

[@JimFortune]

So, Michel Rnd hasn't paid for his "A"s.

[@virglibrsaglove]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@llamafromspace]

Lol hank was a little weird for Aranda today. Love this show

[@seabb]

Aw I love the awkward goofiness that ensues in these quiz shows :) I love this nerdy community!

[@CatherineSmith2283]

I love how excited Hank gets when he answers incorrectly. #neverstoplearning

[@reklesnes9299]

11:43 hahahaha he karate chops the button but gets his hand his reaction had me in stitches

[@lazyfurret]

You could make your own series where you bash at Discovery Channel altogether...that was a funny bit on its own xD

[@witerabid]

You should make an "I tied SciShow Quiz Show"-pin, which would be even more awesome than the "I lost SciShow Quiz Show"-pin

[@inkliizii]

Needs more Matthew Gaydos.

[@mustardsfire22]

Stefan was way excited this episode!

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I like the shade thrown at Discovery Channel.

[@user-pk5bz3om9v]

What makes particles charged? I mean, if one particle has a positive charge and one has a negative charge, they attract, but why? What makes an electron negative and what makes a proton positive, and why? Why would a particle in one place be attracted to a particle in another place simply because it has an opposing charge? Where does the energy to move the particles come from? This is doin me a major confuse

[@SelftaughtAnimator]

I would like to know too

[@YCCCm7]

Look this one up at Fermilab. I'm pretty sure they have or will have a video on it. They handle a lot of odd quantum and forces related things.

[@craigmooring2091]

Protons are positive because they think they know it all. Electrons are negative because they are forced to constantly whirl around, alone in the outer reaches, while the protons get to cuddle up nice and cozy at the center; mostly with other protons; and voluptuous neutrons. Or would you believe that they are negative or positive by definition? Just be glad they haven't been saddled with whimsically named attributes like 'color' and 'charm'.

[@rgors4983]

Okay, so don't take this for granted because I'm only starting my freshman year soon, but I'm pretty sure protons and neutrons get their charge according to their alignment of quarks that make them up.

[@HeythemMD]

They attract because they have opposites charges; we could've described anything with a positive charge as having a "pony charge" and that wouldn't have made a difference. It's just a description we use to model how particles in our universe interact. There are, I think, 4 different interactions particles can have between each others, and we call them forces. The electromagnetic force being one of them, and affecting particles that have a property we call charge. Charged particles create electromagnetic fields (opposing charges create electromagnetic fields whose field lines go in opposing directions, hence the attraction). The energy responsible for moving the particles is electrical potential energy, which is an energy imparted into a particle by virtue of its position to other charged particles. In essence, we're just describing how our universe behaves using mathematical models, any "why" questions beyond that extend their reach to the metaphysical.

[@repzgaming5]

You know you have watched too much scishow when you can predict the questions

[@chrisj8613]

Michael: Lake Natron in Tanzania is filled with red water and is usually over forty degrees Celsius. Hank: that's hawt

[@wormgirl7798]

such a funny episode! I love u guys

[@Why_It]

Michael looks like he's about to slap tf out of Hank if he don't stop interrupting. lol

[@idontknowdude3021]

These shows make me realize I have so much random knowledge... I'm watching a bunch and I would probably win a bunch...

[@AntarcticAssasin]

I knew all about the first two questions, and I've even got pictures in my wallpaper collection about them!

[@pwhite102]

This is super cool in a mind broadening way

[@kateg9437]

I'm so proud that I actually knew the bee question!

[@rand9797]

More quiz shows yaaaaaaaaaaas!!!!!!!

[@virglibrsaglove]

I love these guys! All 4 of them! 👍

[@AbieUK]

Do more of these!!!

[@Scum42]

If they keep flooding the market with "I lost SciShow Quiz Show" pins, it'll stay severely undervalued.

[@Sherubiiii]

The honey bee roasting hornets fact was on Scishow tangents! I actually knew the answer to a question for once! Only a year and a half too late!

[@THePatEexperience]

towels are cool and all but dang i want one of those sci show ties that Michael is sporting

[@Chouetterargentee]

Still one of my favorite things that happens on the internet

[@justindemoret9481]

Was Hank drunk or just adorably goofy that day? That was super entertaining 😊

[@SquirrelGrrl]

Yes! I love these Quiz Shows! Funny and informative! That is so strange with the naked mole rats.

[@sentientpotato_]

the first question- ...the pioneers used to ride these babies for miles!

[@Gold161803]

This show just keeps getting more and more ridiculous. I love it

[@danieltabin6470]

LoL Hank made a video about the stones but forgot about it.

[@djinnisequoia]

Wow, I would have finally aced one of these if it weren't for that last question.

[@Nexus2Eden]

"My Brain is bigger than anyones!" I got these all right! Awesome!

[@HamHamDude]

I want to buy an R for Matt so he can be Matthew Garydos

[@piae106]

This is so great and funny. Got a kinda excited to see Matthew Gaydos too, since I only knew him from that one Dear Hank and John episode (which I thought was pretty great as well) Also, Michael Aranda is such a good host 😆

[@francisfowl4432]

"Don't get on a finger" I DO WHAT I WANT HANK

[@RHACOREBERS]

this was hilarious!

[@BirdSpyAustralia]

I'm happy thay I got all the birds and the bee questions correct along with the naked mole rat one. :)

[@KingsleyIII]

Hank, you could learn a lot from the way Jeopardy! contestants wager their money.

[@kissutyi2310]

The albatross one was first question i knew the answer for ^^ yay!

[@laongcameaspider]

You guys are so great and smart but sooooo nerdy haha

[@hest.]

hank just kinda went full on weird mode this quiz show...also "you look so good!", from Julia to Micheal

[@madmonkee6757]

I'm left a little breathless at how incredibly handsome Matthew Gaydos is.

[@madmonkee6757]

I mean, just LOOK AT THAT FACE!

[@xSpiderswebx]

I get the distinct impression that Hank was stoned during this show lmao

[@Gitarguru89]

Those honeybees are awesome!!

[@Stevonicus]

Needs more Matt Gaydos

[@brianhester1996]

Guys! Stay away from Las Vegas! Seriously!? Great format, though, and enjoyable.

[@mattperkinson9604]

I don't think there's a phrase in the English language scarier than "hot deadly ball of bees"

[@louiseswanson8345]

The birds were there naturally. At least that's the story behind the petrified birds in petrified trees singing petrified songs written about by Jim Brigger.

[@galenbouguyon3995]

They should do an alternate version of SciShow Quiz Show where every episode is designed to be a blowout. For example, bring Lindsey Doe on with sex related questions, Jessi from AnimalWonders with animal and animal care questions, Emily Graslie with natural history questions, Katelyn Salem with geology questions, Hank with chemistry questions, etc.. I don't know why, I just feel like that would be really fun/funny.

[@paulbampoe8697]

Sci show is life

[@makerofpoohvideos]

I see the Kurzgesagt shirt (in a nutshell)

[@PinkChucky15]

I was so happy that I knew that the answer to the first one :-)

[@coryman125]

For the one about lake natron- I'd have guessed one of the sodium ones, considering the chemical symbol for sodium is Na (short for Natrium)

[@pharinyxtheplant667]

This vlog could use some more Matt Gaydos

[@RCSDominoToppling]

Was 1:54 a deliberate Edward R. Murrow reference? (He was the old TV presenter who would always sign off by saying "Good night and good luck." There's actually a really good movie about him called "Good Night and Good luck.") Anyway, I love the show as always. I realize that you guys have the money to make it a big fancy production, so I really appreciate the choice to keep it so simple. I think it's much more lighthearted and fun that way. Thanks for the quality entertainment!

[@Kr4zYm0f0]

This is the 2nd time i see the hornet question in this quiz show
