Transcript[edit | edit source]

Michael’s Temporary Apartment

Katelyn Salem pets Radius.

Stefan Chin: (Botched Japanese accent) So cute.

Michael Aranda: So many kitties.

Stefan: (Continued accent) So kitty! It’s so kitty!

Index: Mew.

Michael: Meow!

Index: Meow.

Michael: Meow!

Index: Mew!

Michael: Meow!


Famous Footwear

Katelyn Salem tries on a pair of Vans sneakers.

Michael: Look at those shoes. How do you feel about them?

Katelyn: Umm... They’re maybe a little tight? I better try on a six-and-a-half.

Michael: Six-and-a-half?

Katelyn: Yeah.

Michael: That’s tiny.

( Katelyn laughs )

Michael: Are those different sizes?

Katelyn: This is a six, and this is a six-and-a-half.

Michael: So you need like a six-and-a-quarter?

Katelyn: Yeah.

( Katelyn giggles )

Stefan: What are you...?

The camera zooms in on a photo of an awkward-looking shoe model.

Stefan: Okay...


Stefan’s Car

The car radio plays “Wonderwall” by Oasis.

Stefan: It's very, uh...

Michael: Streaky?

Stefan: Streaky.

Michael wipes the camera lens with his thumb. The image becomes more streaky.

Michael: Oh, now they go the other way.

Michael wipes the lens again.

I can’t… get rid of ‘em, but I can make them go in different directions.

Stefan: Oooh!


The Source Health Club

Michael runs on a treadmill.

Stefan squats with a weight set.


Michael’s Temporary Apartment

Michael: We’re gonna go on a little tiny road trip.

Stefan: Adventure time!

Michael: Adventure time!

Stefan: Adventure! Adventure!

Michael: And I’ve decided to bust out the big camera for this one.

Stefan: Oh my god!

Michael: So this vlog probably won’t have very much of the trip at all.

Stefan: Oh.

Michael: But... Theoretically, within the next several years, I will upload the video that I shoot with this camera today.

Stefan: Woow.

Michael: Woow. Look at that kitty.

Stefan: Adventure!

Index slouches backwards over Kristen Franklin’s arm and Stefan pets his belly.

Oooh, adventure time!

( Katelyn giggles )

Katelyn: (Tapping Index’s paws) One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty.

Michael: Why is he so tolerant? All of the time?

Index sits back up.

Everyone: Oooh!

Kristen: Hey!

Katelyn: Okay, now it’s time to be done.

Kristen: It’s okay!


Stefan’s Car

Stefan drives. Kristen sits in the passenger seat. Katelyn records the scenery with her phone.


National Bison Range

Michael: Stefan is making friends with the cows.

The sun’s gonna go down soon.

( Stefan laughs )

A cow begins mooing frantically.

Michael: Wow. Sorry, dude. Sorry. I didn’t mean it.


HuHot Mongolian Grill

Michael: After a long day of driving and talking to cows... we’ve come to HuHot!

Stefan: Oh!

Michael: (Reading off a menu) “Your favorite stir fry and more.”

A chef flips food in slow-motion.

Chef: Oh! Made it look way better than you!

The chef then pours fluid on the hot stove, which promptly catches fire in slow-motion.


Michael’s Temporary Apartment

Michael works on the sound design of a CrashCourse video.

Michael: When I’m working on sound for CrashCourse, I normally go through the whole episode once to do, uh, just leveling on Hank’s voice and also dropping in all of the sound effects that are pre-made for every time something, like, pops up on the screen. Um… But as I’m doing that, I always drop these little markers in where I need to go back and add a new sound effect for something happening. So like this one is, um… These little... things that slide on the screen...

(Hank Green’s sped-up voice as Michael scrolls through the video)

Oh... That’s not a good example, cause that didn’t happen. There we go. So like... As that slides up, I need to create some kind of... thing to go along with that motion. Um... Or here at the beginning, we have this, uh... scene where this guy’s about to be— about to be hit by this missile. And this one is I think him jumping out of that window. Um,

( Michael sighs)

normally after I’ve gone through the thing for the first time there are, like, five markers at the top where I have to go back and create sound effects. This one has fifteen. So... I guess tomorrow is going to be mostly a... sound design day.
