Simone Giertz: EVs, Viral Robots, and Becoming a Product Designer

[@SydPeppa]

Simone = Genius

[@ConnorTube]

You mean "Jenius?" :-)

[@AndersBergh]

It's basically an anagram

[@PorcupineFeet]

I've been living in the US for 15 years now. I am from Sweden, and I still count and recite the alphabet in my head in Swedish. Simone verbalized Z in Swedish. Made me smile.

[@jakechernicky]

GOAT guest.

[@anmar6093]

"Game of a the" ?

[@freyastears]

​@@anmar6093 this is a joke, right?

[@JK8]

Definitely not greatest of all time. Good though.

[@Ramseytex]

Simone razzing Marques on GIF was one of the most wholesome things. Also JIF is peanutbutter…

[@PablumMcDump]

Every time someone says it's a hard g like graphics, I ask if they say jayfeg, saying the p in jpeg the way it's said in photographic, which it represents.

[@fonz-su6xb]

She actually says it really naturally.. but still weird to hear it.

[@anderson92]

Gif... Do you say Gift? Or Jift? I just leave the T off.

[@Ramseytex]

@@PablumMcDump Sure, but peg is an actual word. Where else in the English language does gif equal jif at the start of a word? Using that same logic, why would the j at the start of jpeg be pronounced jay? Wouldn’t it be j like in jump or jif?

[@AllTheArtsy]

@@PablumMcDump or do they say AIDS like "ides" since that a is for acquired. As is, to me, very clearly illustrated in the statements she says, saying gif like gift is so confusing to listen to. Is she saying gif or gift?

[@ashwikraj8166]

Omg I can't explain how much joy this episode brought me. At certain moments Simone was srsly like interviewing maarques!!

[@jogianna]

Yes! I enjoy hearing his answers too.

[@BigBooUK]

Simone was a superb guest. On a show with so many great episodes, that one managed to rise above. Great stuff, team!

[@simonnaughton2272]

Simone demonstrates values based thought and consideration about a lot of what she does. That is much more unique than most expect. She speaks and acts like a leader I works want to follow.

[@smagliaro]

Simone is a gem. Stoked to see her as a guest on the podcast!

[@notawheelchair]

Fun seeing you guys mention the NotAWheelchair Project! We have some pretty amazing things we are working on!

[@iiTzMarco2211]

"How much autonomy do I have in how I spend my time" I think this is my favorite quote now, very well put and exactly how I feel too

[@flavious27]

When the intro mentions two of my favorite channels, Doug DeMurro and Tech Connections, I know it is going to be a good cast.

[@atasiaturner2544]

As a woman who watches this podcast I’m so happy that you’re guest this week is a woman. I also would love to see more women in tech come on the podcast.

hands down one of my favourite episodes ! absolutely adore Simone and could honestly listen to her talk for ages !!

[@neoanderson7]

I don't normally listen to podcasts, but I can't resist Simone. She's a favorite of mine. I admire her perseverance and her ingenuity. Also, I'm completely with her on pronouncing it as Gif.. not Jiff.. It's unfortunate some of the things that happen when you become a "star" and grateful she hasn't run into too many yahoos along her journey. Truckla is impressive, no doubt, but I think her present mode of transportation is better in terms of not getting followed around unnecessarily. I always look forward to her vids and appreciate how it's not a video just for the sake of uploading something. Looking forward to her next vid.. :-)

[@ImJBlu]

Marques, simone, and michael reeves and technology connections shoutouts it’s like 4 corners of electronics youtube coming together

[@codedfotography]

Simone has a great calming feeling about her

[@ImJonu]

the MKBHD crew mentioning Michael Reeves oh how my worlds are beautifully colliding...

[@RohinNair]

Someday they'll get him and Nile Red on

[@Suburp212]

You got Simone! Wow.

[@Gergyolas]

BEST CROSSOVER EPISODE!!!

[@odesseus]

I love Simone sooooooo much. Thank you for having her on!

[@lawyermahaprasad]

Just so you know ! I Am watching just for Simon ! She is a rare commodity in KZbin

[@RobertSpitzer]

she is such an amazing guest.

[@HajongLee]

this has been one of the most wholesome podcasts i've watched in awhile

[@iambear.6526]

Technology Connections videos are top notch

[@dizsun7428]

I love watching technology connections. I like knowing things I wasn't interested until they've made a video about it.

[@klaernie]

Very much so - same for Cathode Ray Dude

[@FlorianLinscheid]

I really enjoyed that episode. Simone and Marques were great together

[@matthewshields]

Technology Connections is the most OP channel for too much information on things you've probably never thought of. I live it.

[@01banksjon]

Love Simone this episode and interview was excellent, very natural and enjoyable conversation

[@cypher_cob]

This podcast is entertaining as well as informative so far my favorite on the channel kudos guys!

[@shivaom2738]

I like simone for her crazy projects but mostly i like her for her voice .. i feel calm and relaxed listerning to her.. and her dog has her vibes calm as yogi

[@jwvandegronden]

I'm so all over youtube following original content, not one of the links was a surprise for me... That's worrisome! Worse, I follow Marques from his early start as a highly eloquent young blood working from his bedroom I guess. His growth is very inspiring, even though he is now a household name, he began as a teen growing into his own business. Amazing stuff!

[@omextracts]

Dream collab! Two of my favorite visionaries on youtube 🎉

[@neelmistry]

Hardly a mention of her brain surgery. She’s truly amazing! Great to see she’s still winning!

[@ianfitzhugh3045]

absolutely love Simone

[@olivermcintosh8281]

This is so much fun with two of my favorite creators. Thanks

[@IanZainea1990]

57:42 there are radio clocks. But if you're using it for a countdown then you wouldn't want that. Could be a mode that you switch on with a physical switch. To turn on the radio clocks feature

[@Nearest_Neighbor]

OMG I love her energy and vibe!

[@ShamWerks]

Simone is my spirit animal.

[@yehudalanger]

Can we take a minute to appreciate the Doug DeMuro “THIS” montage? It’s amazing and hilarious

[@DimstTalon]

Simone would be such a cool person to learn from. I would just wanna be a little helper in her shop for a week. It would be so exciting and I LOVE learning things to bring home with me and help my own life and family. Such an interesting person. :)

[@Braydonut]

i love this podcast

[@MarnoWind]

Thanks to this episode im going to be looking into SImones content. Loved this video through and through!

[@charlenetrawick1647]

she is a true ROCK star of YT vids :)

[@nzlemming]

Back in the 90's, I was working in IT for my government. My dad, a lifetime public servant, was irritated that I was jumping from agency to agency but not getting actual promotions to do so (more money but no titles) and he said to me "What's your plan? What are you going to be doing in 10 years time?". I told him "The stuff I'm working on or with now did not exist 10 years ago. The rate of change indicates that the stuff/work I'll be doing in 10 years time hasn't been invented yet. The career is the industry - I'm just along for the ride."

[@aniasparkle]

Lovely interview; lovely guest :)

[@rushja]

I loved this. I love Simone. This was nearly as good as the Lex interview. I would love to see MKBHD talking to Lex.

[@sp3lllz]

Awesome episode Simone is awesome.

[@BradForrest]

Simone is wonderful. That is all.

[@jdeejohnston]

best time of the week

[@Shirley36]

Since they brought him up and now I know for sure they do watch his videos, I'd love to see the boys talk to Michael Reeves for a podcast, I can already imagine the chaos that would follow

[@ESF19791111]

GREAT POD :) I WATCHED TO THE END AND IT WAS WORTH IT :) THANK YOU FOR SHARING :) THANK YOU FROM ISRAEL :)

[@sacgeekgirl]

Absolutely ❤❤❤ today's guest Appreciate you being an awsm welcoming host for her as well. So many other online spaces would be very toxic. Type Speed time for me was 12.0001 womp womp 😅

[@IanZainea1990]

8:00 not to undermine truckla. It was amazing and challenging. But compared to some of the other things she has done, it is relatively a known. Mod-ing cars has a long rich history. The ev aspects throw in a new factor. But compared to even the converible table, there's a lot of precedence for car modification

[@kevinpenfold1116]

Simone and a Technology Connections shoutout in the same video? Dope

[@nitrohite]

Simooooneeeeeee ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@tosti24]

I have deep respect for both this creators and really enjoyed this podcast. When it comes to GIF, I reckon we should respect the wishes of the creator, because it's kind of his baby. He said it's pronounced 'jif', and as such I make the conscious effort to pronounce it as the father of this technology intended to.

[@TheJttv]

[@matt00794]

truckla is still one of my favorite videos

[@beautifulcatastrophe]

Loved the conversation about the future for creators, and have so much admiration for Simone’s authenticity and humility. Fantastic episode, thank you both 🙏

[@TPGReddo]

On the joystick vs. yoke discussion. Interestingly, airplanes have both options. Boeing commercial planes use a yoke which is similar to a steering wheel with the addition of being able to push the yoke forward or back for pitch. Airbus, on the other hand, uses sidesticks which are joysticks on the left or right side of the pilot and copilot.

[@KevinRiggle]

1:02:51 I swear there is some historical relationship between the letter 'G' and the sound for 'y' or 'i' and I swear it runs through the Greek letter gamma (γ) but I can't quickly substantiate that.

[@ClovisRibeiro1987]

since Marques is into shoes, i would think that next shoe should be 251 cleats for ultimate Frisbee.

In Simone's sphere of other creators, I'd love to see Adam Savage on the podcast at some point. It'd be so interesting to hear his take on all the KZbin and creator stuff.

Truckla frustrates me not because I don't think it's awesome, because it is, but because it is the perfect size I want for a truck that will sadly never be made by a major auto maker.

[@kwxl]

Simone is the Bäst :)

[@justinray9612]

I remember seeing a hand yolk. It was positioned on the gear stick space. The reason for this all was so that when one person got tired of driving they didn’t have to swap places in the car. Not sure what the brand of car was but it was on a show titled Beyond 2000. That show was developed and executed in Australia where I am from. Hope that is interesting to you.
