u/Firethorn34 6h ago

Are you a criminal if you are the first to discover those acts?

My problem with their and frankly a large majority of podcasts these days is they're not actually podcasts. Since they are filming the visuals become an important part of the content. No mater how much they say it doesn't matter. It's so annoying when I hear "on this graph" or "this big" or "and his face looked like...". That stuff is my biggest pet peeve.

100% agree. "For the audio listeners" should never be a sentence said in a podcast.

u/Logan_Composer 3h ago

There is a podcast that I watch the video for, that happens occasionally, but because it's about mysteries/conspiracies, sometimes the evidence is video or a picture, so he'll go "for those watching on YouTube, we'll put it on screen. For those listening, it looks like this."

u/TheDigimonFan 5h ago

"Vodcast" never really caught on. It's just a youtube show, but people jumped onto the "podcast" bandwagan and use that term, like with anything else. Look at the number of companies calling themselves "something-ai" or using the .ai instead of .com, and they aren't even an AI company, just happen to be in tech.

“This other guy”? I’ll have you know… Michael was there before the beginning of the universe. Even God hath not the answer to his origin. All we know for sure is that he will play an important role in the end of all things.

Do you see the video cuts in the podcast? Those aren’t normal edits. That’s Michael messing with time. Hannah is the only one who can constrain him. The whole podcast is a ruse to keep Michael distracted. But the thing is he knows that. We’re just lucky he’s okay with that. He has time to fulfill his plans. He’s 40,000 years ahead of schedule.

Plus he just really likes a good mechanical pencil so that’s fun.

LMAO

Thank you for explaining this to me. This Michael guy seems pretty dangerous, glad we have expert mathematicians like Hannah Fry constraining him, and keeping the rest of the world safe. For now.

u/Quick_Extension_3115 6h ago

I wouldn’t say he’s dangerous because he’s evil. He’s like the sun. It’s a good thing, but you can’t get too close. We will have to keep inventing new pencils though, or else he might get bored and cause another completely inconsequential, yet totally world changing event. Like have you heard about Pluto? Yeah that was him.

u/Pet_Velvet 6h ago

Oh my god is that why Hannah brings all these trinkets to the podcast???

And is that why Pluto stopped from existing???

3

u/Quick_Extension_3115 6h ago

It’s why Pluto isn’t a planet anymore

5

u/ripyourlungsdave 6h ago

He was basically YouTube royalty.

u/AtmosphereGrouchy712 5h ago

I'm 100% convinced that he's the anchor being to this universe

u/Pet_Velvet 7h ago

Michael has made a sauce? Where can I get it, does it work well with fries

u/Majestic_Engine_6543 6h ago

I think its V as in five, maybe he works at Five Guys?

u/Quick_Extension_3115 7h ago

Well it’s high in protein

AHHH SOMEONE WHO KNOWS BALL

u/ShadowBro3 5h ago

Wait, Michael Vsauce is in a podcast? Ive been waiting for years for this man to post something other than shorts, and I am just now learning he's been in a podcast for the past 10 months?

4

u/Pet_Velvet 5h ago

Yes! That's what he's been doing! Go listen to it now! You go into it for Michael but coma back loving the specific dynamic Michael and Hannah have <3

5

u/AndrewEophis 6h ago

Yes, I’ve been loving it, they are such a good pair

5

u/Vossenoren 7h ago

They put me straight to sleep unfortunately. I wanted to like their show because they talk about interesting stuff, but they are boring to me

6

u/Pet_Velvet 7h ago

Listen to them while doing other stuff. The podcast is good for sleeping as well, and I dont mean this as an insult.

1

u/Vossenoren 6h ago

I did, listened to them while doing work, they just couldn't make me care about what they were talking about

5

u/Pet_Velvet 6h ago

Well that's fair. It's not everyone's cup of tea I guess.

u/Huge_Lead_3245 5h ago

u/RSCul8r 6h ago

Yo, I love Vinesauce!

u/CreativeParticular51 1h ago

Ohhh! This post made me click that Hannah Fry, the brilliant, somewhat frequent guest on No Such Thing As A Fish, is also in this Podcast.

u/bademeister404 5m ago

As someone who watched every video from Vsauce it annoys me that each podcast episode is basically another one of these videos but recycled.

Ehhh. I disagree. It really feels like two bros just yapping and feeling a truly nerdy connection.
