Transcript[edit | edit source]

Morgantown, West Virginia

Kelsey Jacobson: Hi! I’m Kelsey from Morgantown, West Virginia. My plant is probably not going to make it, and this is WhatImDoingRightNow.


("Intro" plays over the opening title screen.)


Kelsey Cote's Parents' Vacation Home

(The camera points long-ways at a bed with a puffy comforter over it. Kelsey Cote rises up from laying underneath it and stretches as if waking up.)

Kelsey Cote: Well, good morning vlog. I'm in Arizona now. Michael asked me to film some stuff for you guys to see while I was here. Welcome to the first day of my vacation.


Katelyn Salem's Jeep – 9:12 AM MDT

Michael Aranda: Today is a special day.

Katelyn Salem: Yes it is.

Michael: Why is today a special day?

Katelyn: Mmm, 'cause it’s your last day at Complexly!

Michael: It’s my last day at Complexly—

Katelyn: Ooohh.

Michael: —as an official full time employee.

Katelyn: It’s exciting.

Michael: I guess I’m not gonna be anything unofficial. I’m gonna become an official contractor of Complexly, starting Monday. Today I’m starting my day off with a meeting with a guy who... is interested in employing Synema Studios to produce some advertisement video stuff. After that, I’m going to be at Complexly to shoot an episode of SciShow Quiz Show... Two episodes of SciShow Quiz Show, I think.

Katelyn: Two.

Michael: And then, uh... I’ve gotta work on some Crash Course Sociology. For Crash Course Film Criticism, which I’m hosting—tonight we’re watching Citizen Kane. Every Friday for the next, like, 15 Fridays we are... watching a movie that’s going to be a part of Crash Course Film Criticism so that we can critique it.

Katelyn: What are the other parts of Crash Course Film?

Michael: There’s Crash Course Film History, which is being hosted by Craig Benzine. There’s Crash Course Film Production, which is being hosted by Lily Gladstone. And then Crash Course Film Criticism, which is being hosted by moi.

Katelyn: Who is Lily Gladstone?

Michael: She’s a Montanan... I think she is Blackfeet? But she’s been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles recently.

Katelyn: (Laughing) I was gonna say, "does she need a job?" But it sounds like she does not need a job.

Michael: She does not need a job. When we were working on pre-production for Kate Tectonics, Lily was one of the people that I reached out to about using native music in Kate Tectonics because we wanted to make sure that the native music we were using was appropriate. Since we’re talking about geology in Montana—Montana’s history goes back further than just the European influence that came in, obviously. We wanted to honor the fact that before the colonists (laughing) came into this land, it belonged to somebody else. So that’s why there’s, like, there’s pictures of a local, uh... tribe leader from this area on the Kate Tectonics set.

Katelyn: Uh, pause and tell me where you’re—

Michael: I guess I need to figure out where we’re going.

Katelyn: I'm so so—

(Michael reaches for the camera and the shot cuts to Michael pointing out the front windshield at Todd standing in a parking lot.

Michael: There’s Mr. Toddly.

(Todd opens the door on Michael's side of the car.)

Hello Mr. Todd!


Montana Technology Center

Michael: Montana Technology Center! I’ve been here before.


Kelsey Cote's Parents' Vacation Home

(Kelsey stands in the backyard by the pool.)

Kelsey: I'm out of bed now and I'm going to go on a run. I don't know if Michael's mention this, but we're training for the Missoula marathon and the half marathon. And so Michael’s doing the marathon and I've never run more than actually like a mile in my life. (Chuckling) And so he convinced me to do the half marathon. I've actually had some foot pain, so I'm becoming less hopeful for actually completing it as I run more miles. The most I did was five, and then I actually couldn't walk without pain for a few days. We'll see how it goes, hopefully if I just take it slow it'll be doable but, um... I'm going to go run right now.


Complexly Office – 11:06 AM MDT

Michael: Today’s my last day in this a little office, so I’ve started collecting stuff into piles that I can move over the course of the day.

(Michael is wearing his SciShow Quiz Show tuxedo as he walks down the hall.)

Michael: (In a southern preacher voice) I’m ready for that SciShow Quiz Show! I’m ready!

(He walks into the SciShow Quiz Show recording room.)

Caitlin Hofmeister: We’re gonna prep!

Michael: (Still using accent) Y’all Ready?

Bill Mead: (Unenthused) Yes.

Michael: Ok.

Caitlin: Nicole wins! Hank forfeits!

(Michael gasps.)

Nichole Sweeney: I win!

Michael: Hank forfeits!

(Three men are setting up three of the four cameras in the room while Caitlin talks to them and sets up the fourth one. Sarah Meismer and Stefan Chin stand around the Quiz Show table.)

This is us preparing for SciShow Quiz Show.

(Sarah lightly touches the tap light on the table with her head; Stefan slams his forehead onto the tap light.)

Stefan: Ow!

(Sarah laughs.)

Michael: Sarah Meismer is Hank.

(Stefan hits the tap button 11 times trying to turn it off.)

Stefan: Off! Off!

Sarah: You gotta be harder.

(The tap light finally turns off.)

There.

Michael: Is the answer A or B?

Stefan: C. There is always a C.

Sarah: Yeah.

Michael: Not unless it’s True or False.

Sarah: Unless it’s True or False.

Sarah: But which is... is it True A or True B?

(Stefan laughs.)

Stefan: True is always A.

Sarah: I don’t know.

Stefan: Unless it’s B.

Sarah: Yeah.

Michael: Ceri was working on the script for this last night, and I told her that I thought it would be funny if, for the intro, I say, “Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, welcome to SciShow Quiz Show, the only quiz show where all the answers are B,” and then all the answers are actually B all the way though,

(Stefan laughs.)

to see if they believe me or not.

Stefan: If they pick up on it.

Caitlin: But at the end it’s D.

Michael: Oo! Tricked ya!

Stefan: Oh yeah, and the last one should be different.

Bill: Or it should be about Bees.

Stefan: About Bees!

Caitlin & Sarah: (Excitedly) Yes!

Stefan: Holy sh**! Can we rewrite it?

Sarah: Yeah, have Ceri write a whole new script.

(Rachel Calderon Navarro and Hank Green have now replaced Stefan and Sarah, respectively.)

Michael: Hi Rachael.

Rachel Calderon Navarro: Hi.

Michael: Welcome to SciShow Quiz Show. If you get nervous at any point in time, remember that there’s a cat, right there, little kitty.

(Michael points to a small cat sticker on the side of the tap light away from the camera.)

Rachel: I saw that.

(Hank gasps.)

I was looking at that while—

Hank Green: I had never seen that kitty before. Is that new?


Kelsey Cote's Parents' Vacation Home

(Kelsey is back in the backyard, this time with a large red hibiscus flower behind her right ear.)

Kelsey: I did two miles and I don't know what it is about the heat, but the sun just sucks the energy out of you, so two miles felt like four miles. And, uh... I decided to quit. And now I'm going to, uh...

(Kelsey steps down onto the top step of the pool and points down at the water.)

hang out in this nice pool in this nice, uh... warm water and get tan.


Complexly Office

(Michael has changed back out of his SciShow Quiz Show tuxedo.)

Michael: All done filming SciShow Quiz Show.

(Michael runs up the steps from the basement into the common area, where a group of people have gathered. Matthew Gaydos points at him as he walks up.)

Matthew Gaydos: Hey, it’s that guy!

Everyone: (Excitedly) 'Ey!

(Michael points at everyone in the room.)

Michael: 'Ey!

(Caitlin Hofmeister is at the counter cutting up strawberries. Michael continues pointing as he walks up to her and points at the strawberry leaves she's cutting off.)

You’re cutting off the good parts!

Caitlin: Oh, here you go. Them for you!

Michael: Oh thanks.

(Caitlin hands Michael one and he eats it. Caitlin laughs.)

(Michael holds up a card that reads "Change in all things is sweet. -Aristotle" with the hand written note "P.S. Stars are shark teeth?")

Michael: Hank, this is from your favorite person: Aristotle.

Hank: I know... He’s a dummy.

(Michael laughs.)

(Michael holds up the opened card, which is written all over with well wishes from the employees of Complexly.)

Michael: Oh wow. So many things!

Hank, when I moved out here, I was, like, one of eight. And now–

(The camera spins around the room as Michael points at everyone. Silvia Roma, Stefan, and Valerie Barr sit against the wall behind him.)

Silvia: Ah! Goodbye!

Michael: There’s so many people!

(Michael points at Stefan sitting at the table next to him eating cheesecake.)

Michael: We’ve got some cheesecake with strawberries that Caitlin Hofmeister cut up, some whipped cream, some Martinelli's, and Cock‘n Bull. Mmm.

(Michael points at the unopened bottles of Cock'n Bull.)

So these are both unopened, but this one is lower than that one. Weird.

Valerie: The Cock‘n Bull elves took a little sip.

(Valerie giggling.)

Stefan: (Laughing) What are the Cock‘n Bull elves?

(A bag with tissue paper coming out of the top of it sits on the table.)

Michael: There’s a gift right here. This is a... gift opening video.

(Michael pulls out the tissue paper.)

Ooooh.

(Michael pulls out a heavy thing in a soft Styrofoam envelope.)

Oh?

(Michael pulls out a Rectangular resin award that has a black ovular disk set inside it which reads

"Michael Aranda
Host, Director, Sound Designer, and Composer
2012-2017
Thank you for 5 years of inspiration, hard work, and smiles.
Complexly wouldn't be the same with out.")

Hank: Oh wow!

Michael: Wow. Thank you. This is cool.

Hank: That is cool.


Kelsey Cote's Parents' Vacation Home

(Kelsey sits on a wicker couch under an awning in the backyard.)

Kelsey: Now that I've had to try and film things I realize how difficult it is to find things that are interesting to film. I was like, "I'm going to go on a run. I went on a run now. I'm going to go in the pool. I went in the pool." My vacation is not that interesting; it's just me sitting in different places, uh... in the sun.


Complexly Office

Michael: We’re about to watch Citizen Kane, which I've never seen. I think this movie gets voted, like, best movie ever made a lot by film critics.

Todd Williams: They—they—they say that.

Michael: Okay, I’m ready.


Kelsey Cote's Parents' Vacation Home

(Kelsey is in the garage.)

Kelsey: Right now we're about to go drive to the aquarium. Hopefully I can get a lot of cool fishes for you guys to see, and maybe touch some starfish or something. I know, like, some of them have like the touch pools.


OdySea Aquarium

Kelsey: We made it!

(Kelsey holds up her ticket for the aquarium. Then she is walking through the main lobby.)

So, uh... we just got our tickets checked in and the guy asked if it was our first time, we said yes, and he said, “Oh! Then you need to go to the bathroom first. There's fish in there.” So... we’ll see.

(The camera shows the bathroom sink and wall behind it. A bunch of people are standing around looking at it too.)

Kelsey: So, in place of where a mirror would be in front of the sinks they just have, uh... fish!

(Various fish and sharks swim around behind the glass.)

(A slow, upbeat synth beat plays over shots of various aquarium animals: a turtle, an eel, a school of fish, a crocodile poking his head out of the water, a much smaller crocodile laying along the bottom of a tank, several round stingray laying in the rocks, a second school of fish, some gar, a large catfish very close against the glass, a fish with a flat top side, some otters playing in the water, penguins swimming past the glass, an escalator with a curved aquarium ceiling, a lobster, a fish with a flat face and a sharp nose, a fish that looks like it has two glowing antennae, a lionfish, a school of clownfish, Kelsey making a fish face at a fish and then suddenly at the camera, a diver in a fish tank as a manta ray swims by, two sea lions, a shark swimming along with a school of fish, two really small jellyfish, a large shark, and a tank of sand dollar sized white jellyfish.)

(Kelsey now sits in the car. Her mom, Ann Cote, sits off camera to her right.)

Kelsey: So we just got done with the aquarium. Uh... I thought that it was very fun. Mom, did you like it?

Ann: Loved it!

Kelsey: Loved it? What was your favorite thing?

Ann: Jellyfish.

Kelsey: Jellyfish.

Ann: And the... sea otters, and the sea lions.

Kelsey: I would say probably the sea lions and the jellyfish were my favorite. Um—

Ann: But there were no seahorses.

Kelsey: Ah, that's true! My mom’s favorite is, uh... a seahorse. They have options for you to feed penguins and, like, put a scuba set on and go walk with all the fishes and pet them, I assume. So, hopefully I can do that next time. Um... they also have a dolphin enclosure where you can swim with dolphins. And I've swam with dolphins before in Mexico, but like... I assume they let you do a lot more in Mexico with the dolphins than they do here so—

Ann: It’s because they've been drinking tequila.


Complexly Office

Michael: We just finished watching Citizen Kane; I have four percent battery left on my phone. Uh... I just started the next vlog rendering. Uh... I sent an email to the apartment complex that we live in saying that we're definitely moving out in 30 days, so that's official now. I think now I'm going home, leaving the office, the final time, as an employee of Complexly.

Katelyn: Huzzah!


("Outro" plays over the end screen.)
