SciShow Talk Show: The Insectarium with Olivia Gordon

[@kellbing]

I'm watching this four years later and see where Hank meets Olivia before she becomes part of the team. That is very cool.

[@TaiWanWaf]

7 years later and I get to see the meeting of my favorite host and I tapped the video on accident. Happy. I just love the energy Olivia brought to the videos 🥰

[@jcortese3300]

I can see why they hired Olivia. :-) She's pretty awesome.

[@daveyalbert4839]

And pretty "PRETTY"

[@LaceNWhisky]

I Googled Olivia and found this - what I think was her first appearance on SciShow. Look at all the positive comments about her. What happened? Personally, I think she's a wonderful, charming host for SciShow.

[@RokuRG]

Olivia should have her own channel where she talks about insects, id love to watch it!

[@chaosjona6012]

i want to give more than 1 thumps up. Its a great video. and i would love to have a job like ur s Olivia Gordon.

[@SciShow]

+Königliche Kokosnuss We'll give your comment a thumbs up, so it feels like two thumbs up. :)

[@jacobclifford3724]

+SciShow 😂 good idea 💡

[@ihrbekommtmeinenrichtigennamen]

+Königliche Kokosnuss I feel the same way. So much excitement in this video and so much to learn.

[@Sparhafoc]

+Königliche Kokosnuss I'd rather be impaled and garroted than have her job (entomophobia), but still loved the video and hope they do more! :)

[@cynthiademmer5709]

She was always a favorite on SciShow, she's missed!

[@geniusmp2001]

I am sensing another Brain Scoop situation. Because I would watch this series.

[@tigersfan61979]

+Matthew Prorok Oh yes, absolutely!

[@PerpetuallySleepy]

+tigersfan61979 my thoughts exactly!

[@MarcusRitland]

+Matthew Prorok yes!

[@porkybitz]

+Matthew Prorok Funny you should say that. I thought Emily would have been great in Hanks place as the interviewer.

[@miserablerhurensohn]

+Matthew Prorok and at the end if each episode, Olivia says, "it still has poop on it"

[@Horsey0Luver]

"Cracked her exoskeleton?" That sounds extremely painful. That's the first time I've ever had sympathy for a spider.

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

It can be fatal in spiders,especially large ones like tarantulas.

[@michikomanalang6733]

I could listen to her talk FOREVER.

[@MarkLatimerRussell]

Please tell Olivia Gordon that I love her restaurant!

[@Qermaq]

+Mark Russell You win the thread.

[@michikomanalang6733]

THAT. THAT WAS GOOD

[@RngrfromtheMtns]

+Mark Russell That was possibly the funniest dad joke I've ever heard/read! You win!

[@lucidinterval8012]

heee

[@sdbo7102]

haha took me a minute

[@montyfacker]

"you just flicked your own beetle". - Now that sounds like a euphemism.

[@yatesy117]

glad it wasn't just me which picked up on that haha

[@SirNeutral]

+montyfacker The internet has ruined my mind.

[@vifurawa2715]

montyfacker the internet has fucked with my mind

[@maxmusterman3371]

i was so sad when it was over :/ one of the best sci show talk shows ever in my opinion :)

[@666DarkTommy]

Please bring her back! Olivia was an amazing guest.

[@helenaren]

Aaaand she became host for the next 4 years!

[@Kirbysm8]

I had to share this to all the Olivia Haters at present (1/24/17) comment section. She is soooo pretty especially when i saw her actually smile and giggle. My GOD!!! I melted

[@zardracing]

Shanne Kirby Sta Maria sascxv cx.

[@halfwhiteNnerdy]

My first thought after the intro was "Holy cow, they found the female version of Hank..." And she's awesome!

[@juliusroman8616]

yes!

[@annabelletreadwell475]

This was amazing!! i want to see her again. her attitude is awesome.

[@iudexe3103]

omg, seeing olivia smiling and laughing definitely made my day

[@spikeguy33]

Extra footage/video on this, please? Bugs are awesome. She's awesome.

[@Morte6669]

More of her and more of this place, this was awesome!

[@bodiesscienceofi6053]

who else wishes these guys were teachers? I wished we could be as good!

[@Razzfazz87]

+bodies Why would I want them to influence a few, of which about half are bound to not even pay attention unless test topics are discussed, when they can influence millions on youtube?

[@bodiesscienceofi6053]

+Razzfazz87 They can do both. :)

[@tron-8140]

+bodies They are teachers! Every video is a lesson!

[@Razzfazz87]

bodies Both jobs done with diligence, especially teacher, usually leave little time for the other. But you are right. They can do both. My mistake for assuming it's either one or the other.

[@fredrickgoodwill285]

You learn more from them on the internet then being forced into some shit school.

[@marksusskind1260]

Yay! Olivia. I don't often watch SciShow Talk Show, but now I get to see her on SciShow a few times a month

[@photovincent]

I thought I’d seen all of scishow, scishow talkshow and tangents but youtube decides after 7 year to serve me this gem? wonderful

[@janetteantram]

One of the better SciShow Talkshows! I can't believe it's been over three years since they started that's crazy! But I'm very glad to see Stump Hank back (because they usually stump me) and I hope you can go on location much more.

[@tigersfan61979]

Would love to see more of Olivia, she's got a good camera presence, and seems very genuine. Hank and staff, can you make that happen?

[@NomzNoodle]

I really like things like this because it helps me get over my fear of bugs

[@syntacticalcrab]

I

[@axolotl.4078]

Definately the best scishow talkshow so far!!!!!!

[@osmia]

So much knowledgeable enthusiasm - you rock Olivia!

[@alejandrarocha4367]

One of my favorite SciShows by far.

[@soccerski181]

I had no clue this is a Missoula thing! Hometown love!

[@nehatheturtle543]

The comments here are so nice compared to the recent sci show ones

[@LeonDOGE]

hypocrisy at its finest...

[@scent-bubbles]

I thought it said "olive garden" and I damn near shit myself.

[@stuvs830]

Are there Zach Anner fans on this channel

[@KitbashCody]

I could so listen to her talk for hours O.o

[@12tone]

I get why, since you were basically looking at animals the whole time anyway, but it's weird to see a SciShow Talk Show without Jessie.

[@helenaren]

Hey 12tone watched Scishow!

[@GKOALA7]

My goodness, this was equally an educational and entertaining episode. When that millipede pooped on Hank and he jumped -- that was extremely funny. Thank you for the replay.

[@cait_o_saurus]

Just to let everyone know, Hank' s married. I think his wife Catherine might object to some of these comments XD Awesome video as always scishow, can't wait to see more of the insectarium!

[@BiscuitFever]

+Caitlin Shelbourne Same thing happened when Emily from brain scoop came on. People were shipping them like crazy.

[@VoilaTadaOfficial]

+outsideclock I guess I should also make a reply so you can have even more excitement.

[@LordDragox412]

+Caitlin Shelbourne The question is, is Olivia married though? And if so, where do I meet such awesome girls like her? Yep, I'm that kind of person who thinks intelligence is sexy. And it's because I'm stupid. Yep. #Kappa

[@BiscuitFever]

LordDragox412 Subjectively, I find you a white knight. You're only feeding the troll.

[@syntacticalcrab]

+Caitlin Shelbourne Well, this episode was sooooper flirty. I hope The Katherine got a good giggle out of it like we did.

[@S3AN69]

i could have watched hours of this, the two of them had such great chemistry, and the video was so informative and interesting!! more please!!

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Emily should meet Olivia. I think they would get along well. They even have some similar mannerisms.

[@ragnkja]

+ShadeSlayer1911 Are you sure the world can handle so much awesome in one place? (Then again, it's already shown it can handle Emily Graslie and Anna Goldman working together.)

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Nillie Let's have all three meet. If I recall correctly, Anna has interests in insects as well, so it's even better. Let's be honest: the world could use that much awesome, and then some.

[@Shishiranshoku]

I hate bugs, but Olivia was so delightful that now I want to visit an insectarium. Great video!

[@stuvs830]

Seattle's got a nice one, lit so the night-crawling bugs were active. Saw it years ago.

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

+Stu VS Where? Is this at the Woodland Park Zoo?

[@NikolajLepka]

She's adorable

[@crackparrot3479]

Thirsty arn't ye?

[@NikolajLepka]

Paris Hilton not at all

[@NineInchNade]

+Paris Hilton I prayed for you babe, hope you are better :(

[@skipfordj]

I think this was my favorite SciShow Talk show yet.

[@freakespionage]

I am skittish about bugs so I thought I'd be terrified (especially of the giant millipede), but it was actually really interesting and I ended up watching the whole thing! You guys should do a part two!!

[@fred321]

I don't usually like Scishow Talk Show, but this one was incredibly amazing!

[@Hpfan3295]

This video was excellent! I'd love to see Olivia come back as a guest, or to see her start her own channel. More people need to be educated about bugs

[@Nanjo21]

ok this video makes me even more mad at all the hate in the videos with Olivia as the host in scishow because you see here just how cute, nice and intelligent she is but everyone is hating on her for her look(witch I love) but even if you don't is no reason to hate on her! I hope scishow keeps her

[@vekavex6606]

This is amazing. Interesting.Please more episodes of this!I want to see more of these amazing creatures!

[@johngohn3498]

I really liked this episode. You guys should go on location more, like zoos, planetariums, museums, excavations, national parks, etc.

[@beesvintagejewelry5785]

I clicked because of the thumbnail and ended up staying the whole time. She needs to have her own show teaching us about bugs!

[@LexyAnh]

I really enjoyed this episode! I would love to see Olivia Gordon on the show again!

[@helenaren]

How about twice a week as a host

[@PhoenixSong412]

I love that you're on site!

[@xXM0zUsXx]

It's been a whole year. We need another visit to the insectarium! Also I want more Olivia Gordon. More on Scishow! More in my life!

[@oakcroissant]

What a fantastic video, I really hope that SciShow does another episode with Olivia. 'u'

[@Paid2Win]

She is beautiful & has a beautiful mind, topped off with a beautiful personality. Shit son, I hope I find somebody like that at some point :P

[@Xenibalt]

+Thomas Mishler let him gush

[@Paid2Win]

+Thomas Mishler Nah man, just wanting companionship with someone I can really connect with

[@Paid2Win]

+Thomas Mishler Whatever dog

[@quepacho64]

+Thomas Mishler Nope, that girl's my new crush now as well

[@Xenibalt]

nothing wrong with him expressing himself openly ... good first step to getting that companionship he wants is honest communication, bet girls are super impressed with your memes

[@curiousfirely]

This is amazing!! I love seeing the critters I work with on Sci Show! AND in January there WILL be an Insectarium on the internet. Im part of the team at Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory (Cambridge, ON, Canada) developing Virtual Field Trips and digital learning. We're still starting up, but this video makes me SO excited to join all the passionate arthropod educators ou there!

[@IguessImight]

That was fantastic ! I didn't expect to watch it all the way through and yet... Super interesting and entertaining ! You should go back there guys :)

[@JessRushworth]

this was so good to watch! she felt like such a natural and it makes me want to know about more bugs and others!!!

[@philipv7840]

This video was really insightful. I now have a newfound interest towards insects. And that's coming from a person who is absolutely terrified by them. Also, Olivia is wonderful. She's a great addition to SciShow! :)

[@chazzops]

Olivia Gordon is Ace! I really like this episode! Hank is a smart cookie!

[@nelord7000]

She is so cool.

[@michaelgearhart5050]

I believe the verdict is in SciShow... Please make a slot available for Miss Gordon to expose us to these tiny creatures that seem to fascinate her so deeply. She seems to meet all the criteria; Is she charming enough to hold the attention of the audience? 400 of your avid followers would seem to believe so. Is she intelligent? Smart enough to get one of the most awesome jobs EVER. Is she compassionate enough? She... She cares about bugs and spiders, enough said, consdiering most of us would simply grab a can of Raid, much less heal a spider back to health. But, with the conditions that she always sit counterpart to Hank, because, his responses were awesome and anyway, watching a large insect poop on a show host is simply a boon of happiness and joy in a world filled with so much darkness. Miss Gordon, we look forward to seeing your next installment. Also, a legitimate question, you say they breathe through their skin, how... How do they do that?

[@duckzor]

Honestly you could make this a regular thing like once a year or something, you can't ever learn enough about bugs, and Olivia is a badass!

[@eofdinhofg]

Oh, man, insects terrify me, but Olivia Gordon is the coolest! I love it when people are passionate about things that are misunderstood.

[@JennyDread]

The chemistry between these two is amazing! So cute!

[@sourtigershideout]

this is my favourite episode yet.

[@DaxMicro]

Loved that episode, so much interesting stuff.

[@cwflad]

This girl needs her own show ASAP!

[@FailLper09]

I love the SciShow Talk Show

[@KaceKlosed]

Very nice indeed.. thanks guys for the invertebrate/entomology vid! Oliva certainly makes it more approachable to people who don't give much thought to insects. All the best !

[@ritz1097]

Great Scott! She reminds me of Ally Hills!?!

[@Kalleosini]

OH YEAH, you did once have a stomp Hank thing, I had forgotten.

[@Ulim151]

The death feigning bugs are like: Welp he touched me *dies*

[@f.b.jeffers0n]

Olivia

[@origamikatakana]

The Insectarium with Olive Garden.

[@MrFabian2024]

Now that's a extremely good looking lady... also this is my favorite SciShow Talk Show so far!

[@philferrara5990]

Wow. That was over 20 minutes? I was wondering why Olivia wasn't bringing out the next bug and then the video wrapped up. I think the Blue Death Feigning Beetles were my favorite ones to see. I wasn't aware there were beetles that play dead. I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised as a lot of other animals use that defense as well. Thanks for the great show! I don't know if Olivia will see this, or perhaps Hank knows: I live in upstate NY and twice I found rather large beetles as a kid. They looked similar to ladybugs, but with more of a light orange exoskeleton. I think they were about the size of a quarter. One had no spots, and I'm pretty sure the other one I found had two placed symmetrically adjacent to the center line where there wings fold under. I found them both at my grandmother's house within a week, and have never seen them again since. That was probably about twenty years ago now. If anyone knows what they might be I'm curious.

[@stuvs830]

Have you seen the spider that's colored very similarly to a ladybug? As a ladybug lover, I was-disappointed.

[@svankensen]

+Phil Ferrara Well, i live in a different country, so no local info on your particular beetles, but just so that you know beetles (aka coleoptera) make about a third of the animal species in the world. So the variety is huge. There are even marine beetles, and ones that live 99% of their lifes inside trees.

[@philferrara5990]

svankensen Yes I'm aware they're the most common variety of species on the planet. I was just curious if anyone knew about the ones I described in particular as they were remarkably large and I've only ever seen two of them, both within the same week. Thanks for the response anyway though.

[@mistygirl26103]

Maybe members of the chrysomelidae family? Some look pretty similar to ladybugs.

[@oranmorton5053]

"Their insides are then digested while paralyzed"... Well that's my daily dose of terrifying.

[@pscman3]

wow this episode kept me excited all the time, i think some part was because she was excited to show things :D more please :)

[@rileypurcell2159]

She is just brilliant!

[@kimberlyforti7596]

Ok, I'll like it

[@SciShow]

+XxxGet ShrektxxX Ha! Thanks!

[@keithkeith1273]

I did the same thing! Just for you Hank.

[@adamway313]

I have 5 blue death feigning beetles and they've never played dead. I know I'd burst into tears if they even faked being dead so I make sure to keep them as comfortable as possible. I rarely take them out. I really liked that this show covered more than just insects but all sorts of "bugs". I really really enjoyed this. Very informative but also very fun.

[@niconiconii4561]

"they eat eucalyptus, here I feed them raspberries." OO

[@s_mores]

There is a place in montreal, the montreal insectarium, it's really a cool place.

[@TakanashiYuuji]

Olivia is adorable :>

[@123legosandletsplays]

In my fist year of school we had a guy come in with a bunch of millepedes and snails and stuff. It was one of the best days of my education

[@revolver265]

Same here. Many years ago, my school was lucky enough to get the local pest exterminator to talk about "bug" infestations one day, as well as spiders that don't really infest, but do pose a genuine danger to us as small children who could easily get past the LD50 due to body mass. House centipedes, termites, and the names of the spiders (Black Widow, Brown Recluse) stuck with me for one reason or another, and I really don't want to see any of them in my house, ever. It was definitely fascinating in a similar way because we got live samples of the particularly deadly ones in little clear plastic jars that the extermination company had, since they specialized in termites.

[@puppy_drummer]

would love to see more, great vid

[@CatSchroedinger]

I'm watching this for the third time because I need more!

[@shaharcohen486]

kill it! kill it with fire!! -- me during this whole episode as a guy who doesnt like bugs

[@tentavision13]

+Shahar Cohen You sad pitiful man

[@ihrbekommtmeinenrichtigennamen]

+Shahar Cohen I kinda feel like that with spiders, but only when they actually near me. I don't have a problem with videos of spiders.

[@shaharcohen486]

+Ihrbekommtmeinen Richtigennamennicht I don't have a problem with bugs in general actually, I can watch a documentary about spiders or anything else easily. But when another human picks them up like that it just makes that DANGER part in my brain scream

[@lafcursiax]

I learned so much from this! I live in the Southwest, but I'd never heard of death-feigning beetles. I'm definitely familiar with Scolopendra heros, though. One crawled out from under my PC tower recently. Knowing that they're the most dangerous creature in the Insectarium makes me feel I made the right choice in squealing and running away!

[@GoGreenMan]

when I first clicked this video I thought, "this is probably gonna suck, 20 minutes about bugs yuck" then when it was over I was thinking, " aww I wanna see more!!" loved it guys, keep it up!

[@eloujtimereaver4504]

Plant looking creature with plant looking egg, I am convinced. It is a plant. A plant that happens to have insect biology. P.S. Bring back Stump Hank, it is an interesting segment where people bring up very obscure knowledge for me to devour.

[@ehkesoyo]

This was an excellent video! I hope we get to see more of her and her creepy crawlers again!

[@reececrump8483]

i love how real life is often more complex and intresting then fantasy organizums like pokemon.

[@ColonialFungus]

Loving this talk show, some more on location stuff would be pretty cool

[@martijndekok]

Definitely worth another visit for more bug videos. :)

[@3wGaming]

Wait wait wait wait. .. . Is that the new host?!?!?!?

[@PostColorGear]

I'm curious how you determine when those death feigning beetles actually die.

[@isgravybaby]

What a cute couple! Watching this video was like watching their first date 😊

[@mahmoodmarjan7567]

Hanks married.....

[@MrSnowdog200]

+isgravybaby sooooooo

[@Techiepagan]

please show more of the Insectarium

[@DanThePropMan]

Great episode! Really cool bugs, and Olivia is very charming.

[@jamesmckinney4611]

I love just watching Hank geek out here 17:13 . "Woh, neat! Ha, I love Bugs."
