The supertelescopes are coming, enormous ground and space-based observatories that'll let
us directly observe the atmospheres of distant worlds.
We know there's life on Earth, and our atmosphere tells the tale, so can we do the same thing
with extrasolar planets?
It turns out, coming up with a single biosignature, a chemical in the atmosphere that tells you
that yes, absolutely, there's life on that world, is really tough.
I've got to admit, I've been pretty bad for this in the past.
In old episodes of Astronomy Cast and the Weekly Space Hangout, even here in the Guide
to Space, I've said that if we could just sample the atmosphere of a distant world,
we could say with conviction if there's life there.
Just detect ozone in the atmosphere, or methane, or even pollution and you could say, "there's
life there."
Well, future Fraser is here to correct past Fraser.
While I admire his naive enthusiasm for the search for aliens, it turns out, as always,
things are going to be more difficult than we previously thought.
Astrobiologists are actually struggling to figure out a single smoking gun biosignature
that could be used to say there's life out there.
And that's because natural processes seem to have clever ways of fooling us.
What are some potential biosignatures, why are they problematic, and what will it take
to get that confirmation?
Let's start with a world close to home: Mars.
For almost two decades, astronomers have detected large clouds of methane in the atmosphere
of Mars.
Here on Earth, methane comes from living creatures, like bacteria and farting cows.
Furthermore, methane is easily broken down by sunlight, which means that this isn't
ancient methane leftover from billions of years ago.
Some process on Mars is constant replenishing it.
But what?
Well, in addition to life, methane can form naturally through volcanism, when rocks interact
with heated water.
NASA tried to get to the bottom of this question with the Spirit and Opportunity rovers, and
it was expected that Curiosity should have the tools on board to find the source of the
methane.
Over the course of several months, Curiosity did detect a boost of methane down there on
the surface, but even that has led to a controversy.
It turns out the rover itself was carrying methane, and could have contaminated the area
around itself.
Perhaps the methane it detected came from itself.
It's also possible that a rocky meteorite fell nearby and released some gas that contaminated
the results.
The European Space Agency's ExoMars mission arrived at Mars in October, 2016.
Although the Schiaparelli Lander was destroyed, the Trace Gas Orbiter survived the journey
and began mapping the atmosphere of Mars in great detail, searching for places that could
be venting methane, and so far, we don't have conclusive results.
In other words, we've got a fleet of orbiters and landers at Mars, equipped with instruments
designed to sniff out the faintest whiff of methane on Mars.
There's some really intriguing hints about how the methane levels on Mars seem to rise
and fall with the seasons, indicating life, but astrobiologists still don't agree.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and all that.
Some telescopes can already measure the atmospheres of planets orbiting
other stars.
For the last decade, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has been mapping out the atmospheres
of various worlds.
For example, here's a map of the hot jupiter HD 189733b.
The place sucks, but wow, to measure an atmosphere, of another planet, that's pretty spectacular.
They perform this feat by measuring the chemicals of the star while the planet is passing in
front of it, and then measure it when there's no planet.
That tells you what chemicals the planet is bringing to the party.
They also were able to measure the atmosphere of HAT-P-26b, which is a relatively small
Neptune-sized world orbiting a nearby star, and were surprised to find water vapor in
the atmosphere of the planet.
Does that mean there's life?
Wherever we find water on Earth we find life.
Nope, you can totally get water without having life.
When it launches in 2019, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is going to take this atmospheric
sensing to the next level, allowing astronomers to study the atmospheres of many more worlds
with a much higher resolution.
One of the first targets for Webb will be the TRAPPIST-1 system with its half-dozen
planets orbiting in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star.
Webb should be able to detect ozone, methane, and other potential biosignatures for life.
Except, as I mentioned earlier, confirming biosignatures is going to be tough.
And we'll get to that in a second, but first I'd like to thank:
The Universe.
Of all the universes that we could have formed in from a vast multiverse, it's great to
have one with a reasonable force of gravity and binding energy of atoms.
Thanks Universe, as well as:
JTheory Rob Stuart
Travis B. Vallance
And the rest of our 783 patrons for their generous support.
If you love what we're doing and want to get in on the action, head over to patreon.com/universetoday.
So what will it take to be able to view a distant world and know for sure there's
life there.
Astrobiologist John Lee Grenfell from the German Aerospace Centre recently created a
report, going through all the exoplanetary biosignatures that could be out there, and
reviewed them for how likely they were to be an indication of life on another world.
The first target will be molecular oxygen, or O2.
You're breathing it right now.
Well, 21% of every breath, anyway.
Oxygen will last in the atmosphere of another world for thousands of years without a source.
It's produced here on Earth by photosynthesis, but if a world is being battered by its star,
and losing atmosphere, then the hydrogen is blown off into space, and molecular oxygen
can remain.
In other words, you can't be certain either way.
How about ozone, aka O3?
O2 is converted into O3 through a chemical process in the atmosphere.
It sounds like a good candidate, but the problem is that there are natural processes that can
produce ozone too.
There's an ozone layer on Venus, one on Mars, and they've even been detected around
icy moons in the Solar System.
There's nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas.
It's produced as an output by bacteria in the soil, and helps contribute to the Earth's
nitrogen cycle.
And there's good news, Earth seems to be the only world in the Solar System that has
nitrous oxide in its atmosphere.
But scientists have also developed models for how this chemical could have been generated
in the Earth's early history when its sulfur-rich ocean interacted with nitrogen on the planet.
In fact, both Venus and Mars could have gone through a similar cycle.
In other words, you might be seeing life, or you might be seeing a young planet.
Then there's methane, the chemical we spent so much time talking about.
And as I mentioned, there's methane produced by life here on Earth, but it's also on
Mars, and there are liquid oceans of methane on Titan.
Astrobiologists have suggested other hydrocarbons, like ethane, isoprene, but these have their
own problems too.
What about the pollutants emitted by advanced civilizations?
Astrobiologists call these "technosignatures", and they could include things like chlorofluorocarbons,
or nuclear fallout.
But again, these chemicals would be hard to detect light years away.
Astronomers have suggested that we should search for dead earths, just to set a baseline.
These would be worlds located in the habitable zone, but clearly life never got going.
Just rock, water and a non-biologically created atmosphere.
The problem is that we probably can't even figure out a way to confirm that a world is
dead either.
The kinds of chemicals you'd expect to see in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide could
be absorbed by oceans, so you can't even make a negative confirmation.
One method might not even involve scanning atmospheres at all.
The vegetation here on Earth reflects back a very specific wavelength of light in the
700-750 nanometer region.
Astrobiologists call this the "red edge", because you'll see a 5X increase in reflectivity
compared to other surfaces.
Although we don't have the telescopes to do this today, there are some really clever
ideas, like looking at how the light from a planet reflects onto a nearby moon, and
analyze that.
Searching for exoplanet earthshine.
In fact, back in the Earth's early history, it would have looked more purple because of
Archaean bacteria.
There's a whole fleet of spacecraft and ground observatories coming online that'll
help us push further into this question.
ESA's Gaia mission is going to map and characterize 1% of the stars in the Milky Way, telling
us what kinds of stars are out there, as well as detect thousands of planets for further
observation.
The Transiting Exoplanet Space Survey, or TESS, launches in 2018, and will find all
the transiting Earth-sized and larger exoplanets in our neighborhood.
The PLATO 2 mission will find rocky worlds in the habitable zone, and James Webb will
be able to study their atmospheres.
We also talked about the massive LUVOIR telescope that could come online in the 2030s, and take
these observations to the next level.
And there are many more space and ground-based observatories in the works.
As this next round of telescopes comes online, the ones capable of directly measuring the
atmosphere of an Earth-sized world orbiting another star, astrobiologists are going to
struggling to find a biosignature that provides a clear sign there's life there.
Instead of certainty, it looks like we're going to have the same struggle to make sense
of what we're seeing.
Astronomers will be disagreeing with each other, developing new techniques and new instruments
to answer unsolved questions.
It's going to take a while, and the uncertainty is going to be tough to handle.
But remember, this is probably the most important scientific question that anyone can ask: are
we alone in the Universe?
The answer is worth waiting for.
I'd love to hear your predictions.
When do you think we're going to know for certain that there's life on another planet
orbiting another star in the Milky Way?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Do you want to know when we release a new episode.
Are you worried that YouTube is going to accidentally unsubscribe you?
I've created an email mailing list to announce new videos when we post them.
I'll put a link to the mailing list in the shownotes below.
In our next episode we'll be looking at some anomalies of spaceflight.
You've probably heard of the Pioneer anomaly, but there's an even stranger one that slingshotting
spacecraft experience called the Flyby anomaly.
That's next time.
And finally, here's a playlist

Why did the Dutch give up New York? - Duration: 5:44.
The city of New York, the most populous city in the United States,
is an international powerhouse of culture, commerce, and diplomacy.
New York has been an important American city since the States became united - as evident by the fact that the
presidential oath of office took place on the balcony of Federal Hall in New York City.
Before that, being situated on one of the world's largest natural harbours,
New York was the jewel of Britain's thirteen colonies
and before that it was the main trading post of the Dutch colony of New Netherland.
But given its importance, why did the Dutch give it up? And how did they get it in the first place?
In September 1609 Henry Hudson, an English explorer whose expedition had been financed
by the Dutch West India Company sailed passed modern day New York
up the river that now bears his name. As he travelled he traded furs with natives
but after 10 days the waters were too shallow for his vessel to go any further.
He had not found the Northeast Passage to Asia he had hoped and returned to Dartmouth,
England on 7th of November, where passed his logs onto the Dutch ambassador.
His voyage was used to establish Dutch claims to parts of present-day New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware for the colony of New Netherland.
Fur-trading expeditions started in earnest, but it wasn't until May 1624 that the first
settlers arrived and began their colony on a tiny island at the mouth of the Hudson River,
now known as Governors Island.
The Dutch established a small settlement, trading post and fort on the island,
but the colonists soon out grew it.
The settlers had been instructed by the authorities of the West India Company to be fair and honest
with the Indians and they purchased the island of Manhattan from the Native Americans
for trade goods worth 60 guilders, perhaps the best real estate deal in history.
but these goods were invaluable to the Native Americans who couldn't produce them by themselves
and I remind you that the Native Americans had a completely different concept of land ownership
and likely understood the trade as a temporary agreement.
Despite their intentions they weren't any better at dealing with the Natives
than the other European powers.
The colonists and natives soon came into regular conflict and while the West India Company
offered little assistance to the colony, a series of brutal campaigns all but eliminated
the Native American tribes from the lower Hudson Valley.
The lack of support however left the colonists disillusioned.
New Amsterdam on the southern tip of Manhattan Island became a melting pot with a diverse population
in sharp contrast to the homogeneous English settlements going up in New England.
Along with the Dutch there were Africans, Scots, English, Germans, Scandinavians, French,
Muslims, Jews and Native Americans all building a life in New Amsterdam.
It wasn't exactly a multicultural utopia.
Slave labour was essential for the economy, although life here was better than on a plantation,
slaves were able to learn to read for example, they were still slaves.
And there were plenty of prejudice to go around; for example in 1654 the pegged legged director-general
of New Netherland, Peter Stuyvesant, attempted to turn away Jewish refugees,
calling them "very repugnant" and "deceitful".
He wasn't keen on anyone who wasn't a Calvinist but his bosses at the West India Company
were having none of it and constantly overruled him.
Still by the standards of the day there was relative tolerance.
Throughout the 17th century the Dutch and English emerged as the worlds principal maritime powers.
The rivalry would lead to several wars but for our story we need start in peacetime.
In August, 1664, a handful of English war ships anchored off Brooklyn
and aimed their cannons towards the fort of New Amsterdam.
The English King, Charles the Second had awarded the lands including New Netherland
to his brother James, Duke of York, despite not actually having position of it,
in return for four beaver pelts a year.
And these forces were here to fulfil that promise.
The English commander demanded surrender and promised to protect the lives, property and
freedom of all who accepted English rule.
The director-general tore up the letter and attempted to rally the troops,
but it soon became apparent that the city's inhabitants had no intention of taking up arms.
The lack of support from the West India Company had eroded their goodwill
and English residences were preparing to take up arms on the other side!
He accepted the situation and surrendered and the terms were favourable to the colonists,
who could stay, with religious freedoms and "all public houses" remained in use.
Without bloodshed the English took over the colony and renamed New Amsterdam as New York
in honour of the Duke.
This loss of New Amsterdam happened just prior to the Second Anglo-Dutch War,
where the Dutch emerged victorious.
In the peace talks The English tried to return New Netherland in exchange for Suriname
– that the Dutch had taken during the war –
but sugar was exceptionally valuable and the Dutch rejected the offer the offer,
signing over New Netherland to the English.
The Dutch did briefly recaptured the city in 1673, during the Third Anglo-Dutch War,
but relinquished it at the end of the war and after just one year
again in order to retain the Sugar colony of Suriname.
Under English rule New York prospered with many of the previous colonists staying on,
and eventually grew into the city we know today.
But the legacy of their Dutch past is still apparent
the colonists who remained introduced words to English such as cookie, from the Dutch koekje
Both a rose for the English and a tulip for the Dutch adorn the flag of the Borough of Queens
and throughout the city place names with a Dutch origin remain
such as Brooklyn, Harlem, and even Broadway.
But this isn't Name Explain and over there my friend Patrick has done a whole video on these names
so I'll leave it here and a link in all the usual places. Go check it out.

Leman is after her rent - Elif Episode 657 | Season 4 Episode 97 (English subtitles) - Duration: 2:38.
Pay your rent on time, only for one time, and I'll break my tooth!
Mrs. Leman, how many times should I tell you? We made some alterations at the store.
A lot of money is gone with that. Give me a couple of days, I'll collect the money.
How could I know if you're betting the money on horses?
Look, I can't stand for these shenanigans, I should tell you.
No, which horses?
I wish I could collect the money with ease, even for a month!
What is this? You're making me beg for the rent every month.
Mrs. Leman, I called you as a man, and told you what the situation is.
Why are you doing this now?
What am I doing, huh?
Look at me,
The store is mine, and you're the tenant.
I want my money, I don't ask for charity!
It should be good for you using the store.
But when it comes to paying the rent, oh, how sweet is that!
I didn't say that I'm not going to pay, I'm asking for a couple of days.
There's no such thing! I don't get that!
Pay me on time, that's it.
I don't have it, I spent the money on alterations, don't you get it?
Look at me, Mr. Osman.
I'm still calling you "mister", just so you know.
If I don't get my rent on time, I'll come to the store and crash it down to-
You'll crash the store on me, huh?
What happened, Mrs. Leman?
I think I can't hear you.
It's not working to threat from a distance, on the phone, right?
Now give me your threats in my face.
Threats?
Who said a thing about threat?
I was just asking for my rent from you.
It's not working with all that crashing and burning, right?
OK, those words came out with some anger, but...
it is rent for God's sake, you gotta be on time, isn't it?
Let me summarize the whole situation, Mrs. Leman...
Now you think you're intimidating me.
All this "I want my rent on time",
all that "I'll crash the store on top of you" and more...
I asked for a couple of days from you.
But what did you do? You didn't let me, did you?
Am I mistaken?
No, is that true, Mrs. Leman?
True, of course, it's true.
Because of all the behavior of yours, this month I'm not paying the rent at all.
What?
Do you have something to say?
Look at me, don't ever talk to me like this again.
Or else, do you know what I'll do? I'll- click!
cut that tongue!
OK?
I'll see you later.

Trump, Pornstars and Integrity. - Duration: 2:47.
So there's a rumor that President Trump had an affair with a porn star and then paid
her $130,000 not to talk about it while he was running for President.
The rumor has been helped by the fact that the people around him aren't really denying it.
And that has caused a different kind of stir because some of the people around him are
conservative Christians who are supposed to be bothered by things like that.
So now there is outrage that there isn't more outrage.
Does this mean that all the conservative Christians who work for President Trump are sell-outs?
Not necessarily.
It could be more a function of the fact that no one is really surprised.
We had seen his picture on the cover Playboy and watched the Billy Bush video.
Concerns about his past, and what it could mean about his future, are the reason so many
initially preferred other candidates.
But, when the choice was narrowed, a lot of people decided the guy with the morally dubious
history and questionable Twitter manners was better than the woman who is committed to
the destruction of innocent human life and the First Amendment.
So, the collective shrug over the affair with a porn star 10 years ago is less a matter
of forgiveness and more a function of the fact that it validates the initial concerns.
Now, that being said, the outrage over the church's lack of outrage contains a fair warning.
Even if you are thankful that President Trump's election has led to Justice Gorsuch, real steps
toward protecting the unborn, and protections for religious freedom, there should never
be confusion about where our ultimate loyalties lie.
Hopefully, the President, as many have reported, is growing in character and will be a model
husband and father for however long he serves as President. But it is possible that the
next scandal is more contemporary.
If that is the case, we should hope that everyone around him would make it clear that their
support of the President flows from their core convictions, and not that their core
convictions flow from their support of the President.
The reality is, regardless of what you say or don't say about the President, affairs
with porn stars, or anything else, someone is going to hate it.
The goal is not to avoid criticism, but we should all be mindful of the temptation to
pay for short-term policy with our integrity.
That's never worth it.
After all, if the salt loses its savor, what good is it but to be thrown out on the street
and trampled under feet by men?

Where is this woman?
- How may I help, Mr. Tarık? - Filiz, is Ms. Rana in her room?
I've been calling and she's not responding.
Ms. Rana took a week off. Told me that you knew about it.
Oh... Oh God... I forgot that.
OK then.
I'll call her from mobile.
I need to ask some things about some documents.
(phone) Is there anything-
That's strange.
What is this woman trying to accomplish?
Taking time off on her own,
turning the phone off, staying off the grid and so on.
Let's ask what's the matter with her.
Filiz, I'm leaving.
I've got things to do.
I won't be back for today.
- If someone is calling me... - Uncle?
Are you going to somewhere?
I was about to.
Is the meeting cancelled?
Which meeting?
You had the meeting with Mr. Cüneyt today.
Please don't tell me that you've forgotten such an important meeting.
I thought that we scheduled the meeting some time next week.
But it was today. Good thing I caught you before you left.
Or this meeting we've been waiting for weeks would have been for nothing.
It was.
Then I'll be in my room.
You let me know when Mr. Cüneyt arrives.
God damn it.
Just the right time for the meeting.
Making Mr. Kerem suspicious is something else.
Rana is a trouble, Kerem is another...

Celebs With The Most Successful Siblings You Never Knew About - Duration: 5:24.
It can seem as if celebrities come from pods designed only to create the most genetically
perfect human specimens possible.
But most stars do in fact come from human parents, and have brothers and sisters — some
of which are so successful that they give their famous sibs a real run for their money.
Just because they're not household names doesn't mean they're not slaying it professionally.
Here are the most successful celebrity siblings you've never heard about.
"My name is Fred Claus…"
"Hi Fred!"
"I'm Santa Claus' brother"
Sure, Sandra Bullock may be America's sweetheart, but her sibling's success is even sweeter.
While Bullock is known for Miss Congeniality, The Blind Side, and Gravity, her sister Gesine
Bullock-Prado is known for her role as a pastry chef.
"I can't touch my toes no yoga for me!
But I can bake cuz it makes me so happy."
Not only does she bake delicious treats, but she's also written five books about confections,
as well as excerpts about her life.
And in case Bullock-Prado doesn't sound accomplished enough already, the chef and author is also
a regular contributor for Better Homes & Gardens and Craftsy.
Of her sister's book, Confections of A Closet Master Baker, Bullock told Entertainment Tonight,
"I was bawling and laughing the entire time I read it."
Although Bullock is the owner of Austin's cozy Walton's Fancy and Staple, Bullock-Prado
told Texas Monthly, the sisters won't be collaborating any time soon.
She says, "We're so busy… we just want to spend time
together.
We're not going to work together.
We're just going to play together."
Actress Nicole Kidman is no stranger to the spotlight, but neither is her sister Antonia.
While Kidman is big in America, Antonia Kidman is known in their home country of Australia
as an award-winning TV personality, and is also the author of The Simple Things.
And you might find it hard to believe that Nicole didn't consider herself the beauty
of the family growing up.
She told People of her sis, "We'd walk down the street and people would
go, 'Oh, Nicole, isn't your sister gorgeous?'"
Actor Robert Pattinson has a sibling who's also seriously talented.
His sister, singer Lizzy Pattinson, has performed with bands like Aurora and Milk & Sugar, and
also recorded background vocals for the Twilight soundtrack.
In 2014, she competed on the X Factor U.K., and earned the winning title.
RPats told E! News, "I'm just amazed that she's doing it.
It takes so much balls."
And that family pride goes both ways.
Lizzy told Absolute Radio of her brother, "He's such a ballsy person"
"He inspires me quite a lot, actually."
When your sibling is a world-famous actor, it might be tough to consider yourself successful.
But Brad Pitt's brother Doug shatters that assumption.
"Hi I'm Doug Pitt."
He's an accomplished businessman, was named the first Goodwill Ambassador for the United
Republic of Tanzania, raised $750,000 for areas that need clean water by hiking up Mount
Kilimanjaro — and became the first American in recorded history to descend by mountain
bike!
Doug told St. Louis Magazine how he deals with questions about his famous bro, saying,
"I couldn't be more proud of him…
I understand their excitement, but if you were asked every week for 25 years the same
question, your eyes would kind of glaze over."
Rachel McAdams is undoubtedly a talented, beautiful actress, but did you know that her
sister, Kayleen, is the reason her makeup always looks so good?
That's because Kayleen McAdams is a successful celebrity makeup artist, helping clients like
Rachel, Sofia Vergara, and Diane Kruger get red carpet-ready.
"As a makeup artist, I spend most of my time behind the camera perfecting other people's
makeup."
Though the pair are successful on their own, they still lean on each other for support.
Rachel told The Hollywood Reporter, "Kayleen has a very calming effect on me.
Spending two hours with her beforehand sets me for the night."
Jennifer Lopez' sister, Lynda, isn't living in her sister's shadow.
She's an award-winning journalist and anchor for ABC Radio, and has previously worked for
Fox, VH1, and CBS Radio.
Lynda and Jennifer Lopez certainly share a special bond.
In an interview with HuffPost Live, Lopez said,
"And I think when I moved out to L.A., you know, one of the things I missed most was
was my friendship with my sisters, especially Lynda."
And that feeling is certainly mutual.
Lynda added of her big sis, "I always felt like I had someone to take
care of me."
Rupert Grint, of Harry Potter fame, has a younger brother James who's a professional
racecar driver.
James, who signed with Albatec, a leading UK Rallycross motorsport team, told the Daily
Mail, "At first everyone knew me as Rupert Grint's
brother.
Then I had to carve out an identity for myself, which I did by being good at sports."
"It's always good to find some time to come out and see James."

Scientists Claim They Made Time Go Backwards...But Did They? - Duration: 3:00.
Time travel to the past is basically impossible without breaking some laws of physics and
acquiring plutonium from some Libyans.
But time travel to the future is easy, we're all doing it right now.
So why does time go forward and not back?
The idea that time only flows in one direction is called the Arrow of Time.
But odd as it sounds, there's nothing in the equations that describes the laws of physics
that says it has to be this way.
The equations CAN tell you what will happen in the future or what took place in the past
based on what's going on in the present, but they don't explicitly state that time
must go from past to present to future.
The math works just as well going in either direction.
The one thing that seems to keep driving this time bus to futuretown is the second law of
thermodynamics, which states that entropy must always increase.
Things must go from order to chaos; heat must disperse from hot bodies to colder ones.
It's this increase in entropy that keeps the ordered past behind us and the increasingly
messy future ahead.
But there seems to be a loophole in the second law of thermodynamics, and scientists recently
exploited it to turn entropy on its ear.
Apparently the law doesn't apply to correlated particles, which are like entangled particles
with less strong of a connection.
When researchers observed a hot hydrogen nucleus that was next to a cooler carbon nucleus inside
a trichloromethane molecule, the nuclei behaved as expected and heat flowed from the HOT hydrogen
to the COOL carbon.
But when they tried the same thing with correlated hydrogen and carbon nuclei, the opposite happened.
The hydrogen got even hotter while the carbon chilled even more.
The scientists went on to make the bold claim that this experiment shows the reversal of
the Arrow of Time, but even if that's indeed what's happening it looks like it only applies
under very specific circumstances on an atomic scale.
So, not that I'm a physicist or anything, but did you?
Does that mean time is suddenly running backwards or is there something else at play here?
Needed is research more.
I wouldn't predict a future where broken coffee mugs spontaneously reform or rooms
tidy themselves just yet.

The Best Cheap Knish in New York City || Operation $5 Lunch - Duration: 8:13.
- [Prez] My name is Prez, and I work at Thrillist.
Around these parts I'm known as the 5 Dollar Lunch Guy.
Every episode, I'm gonna put you guys
onto the very finest New York grub for $5 or less.
"Look," Mrs. Witch commanded.
Meg dropped her arm. "They seem to be moving
towards the planet."
Oh, hello.
Sorry, you just caught me reading a book
and shooting perfect 3s.
I'll see what our mission is today --
uh, oh, the knish.
If you really want to dive deep
into New York food history,
the knish is as important to the city
as a pizza or a bagel.
Brought to New York by the first wave of Jewish immigrants,
it was quickly established as the quintessential cheap eat,
affordable, and filling.
And today, it's my perfect five-buck lunch.
So, let's get into it.
(hip-hop music)
Now, you can get a knish in any one of
the thousands of delis, and bakeries,
and Jewish grocery stores, all over the city.
But, for this episode, I figured,
why not go to my neck of the woods,
the unofficial food capital of New York:
Queens, right?
And we're gonna head to a place called Knish Nosh,
an old-school Jewish bakery,
that's, uh, you know, been doing this for a while, it seems.
It's five bucks somewhere, let's go.
So these are the rules of "Operation 5 Buck Lunch":
It's gotta be good, 'cause nobody wants bad food for lunch.
No big chains, 'cause that's just too easy.
It's gotta be $5 or less.
And whatever I don't use today,
rolls over into the next episode.
(hip-hop music)
- The earliest that I can ever remember
was going to a Giants game as a kid and getting a knish,
either in the parking lot or at the stadium.
- In terms of New York food, how does it rank around,
like, pizza and bagels and stuff?
- Uh, not quite up there. - It's not quite up there?
- We don't put it with pizza and bagels, no.
- No, it's not really considered?
- No, because it's not --
I just kinda think of it as like more of a side dish.
Go ahead and try one, I mean, if you like potatoes,
you know, definitely go ahead and try one.
- I like potatoes, I like the contrast
of the crisp outside and the soft inside.
It's like mashed potatoes, in like a phyllo dough.
- So, have you ever had a knish.
- Yes, those tasty delicious pieces of potato.
It's almost a bite out of heaven.
If you're really, really hungry and hungover,
it's amazing.
- Do you have a favorite place to get them?
- Uh, there's that Knish Nosh.
Knish Nosh place.
- That's where we're going.
- So that's what food is right.
Food is language you can taste.
- Holy crap.
Oh my, guys, show over.
It's over. He won the show.
No more interviews.
(hip-hop music)
- Ready for this fun fact?
Fun fact!
The first ever knish bakery, Yonah Schimmel's,
was founded on Houston Street in 1890.
That's 70 years before
the legendary Lombardi's pizzeria was founded.
So technically, if you think about it,
knish has been in this city longer than pizza.
The more you know.
(hip-hop music)
Here we are: Knish Nosh.
I've been waiting for this all day.
Shout out to Rego Park, shout out to Knish Nosh,
I'll try to eat this.
(camera shutter clicking)
What do you recommend that I get here?
What would you suggest for me?
- You gotta try the knish. - I'm definitely--
- You can't come in Knish Nosh,
and I'm gonna tell you to try something else.
This is really just fresh-made potatoes,
and little seasoning, it's not fried.
- It's all natural, it's all like,
just put a little love on it.
- Nope, put a lot of love in it.
- There you go, whoo.
Put some love in your food, it'll taste better.
What makes Knish Nosh different for you?
- The way the knish is they're just
so much better than something
you would get from a supermarket, in the freezer section.
Like I said, they're home-made,
they're baked, they're not fried --
they're delicious.
- How long has Knish Nosh been here?
- Knish Nosh has been here for 65 years.
- Sixty-five years? - Yeah, on Queens Boulevard,
and we also had a place in Central Park for eight years.
- Really? - Yeah.
- What is -- for our audience that doesn't know --
what is a knish?
- A knish is, it's potato-based,
basically, we peel them, we boil them, we bake them,
we mix them with some onions,
and then we hand-roll them into very thin dough
and bake them in the oven.
- What makes Knish Nosh special?
- I think it's, you know, we're the only ones
who really use all potatoes in our product.
We don't mix any artificial ingredients,
no preservatives -- nothing.
We don't normally tell people to take them home,
if you don't eat them, freeze them.
Because there's no preservative.
And, yeah, it's great.
You know, the only way to describe a knish is
it's like a baked potato that tastes good.
Knish Nosh has lots to choose from for $5.
- I think I'm gonna go with the classic,
I think I'm gonna go with the classic potato knish.
Well, what's in that?
- Oh, the potato, it's just potato,
basically we peel them, we boil them, we bake them,
mix some little onions, little bit of seasoning,
and lots of love.
- All right, how much is that?
- That's $4. - $4? Here you go good sir.
- Here you go sir.
Let me know how wonderful it is.
- Thank you so much.
- Here's your change. - Thank you so much,
I appreciate it. Four bucks, straight up,
a little change back -- let's go eat.
Let's get straight into this, knish.
Oh, smells nice. Let's flip it.
There you go.
Look at this. (camera shutter clicking)
You know what I mean? (camera shutter clicking)
(sighs)
I don't know. I mean, this looks great.
You have, of course, you have my favorite thing,
you have a little charring on the bottom.
It's heavy as holy hell.
This is probably about, uh,
maybe 3 or 4 pounds of food.
(hip-hop music)
Wow.
OK.
Straight away, this is probably
the best knish I've ever had.
Like, ever.
Of course you get,
immediately the potatoes and the onions together,
you know, it kind of like, comes into a singular flavor.
It's like a handheld mashed potato. There you go.
I mean, if you look at this thing,
you have a ton of potato,
and you have a nice little ratio
of potato to dough, of course.
I'd say it's about 90-10,
which is the perfect ratio for me.
Sometimes you'll go, get a knish somewhere,
where it's processed, or it's fried or whatever,
and it's a lot more dough,
because it has to go into the fryer,
you know what I mean, it has to stay together.
So, they'll make it, like, square,
and of course you'd have these weird edges,
you know, it crunches a lot harder,
but this is nice, and it's soft.
Because it's natural, like,
you can actually flake the bread off,
and that's not something you can do on every knish.
This is fluffy, this is well done.
It seems to be the part that carries over
every time you go somewhere,
it's simple ingredients done well,
and that's really all you need
when you're eating,
and you go out for five bucks?
C'mon.
It's fantastic.
This feels like an old- school, mom-and-pop.
They, they look like they really know what they're doing.
And of course, you know, if it's in the name,
clearly they do, right?
This is the saddest part of every episode.
Wow.
That was a handheld, hearty meal.
And I am fully prepped to get back out into that cold.
See you outside.
Today's mission was knish,
which for the first time,
brought us out to the best borough in New York, Queens.
If you've got a problem, @ me, son.
Now, coming to Knish Nosh,
and having the most amazing knish I've ever had in my life,
I feel great, I feel like I could just be,
I feel comfortable, you know,
I feel like I could just lay out on this street.
Take a nap, maybe.
Our mission was an absolute success,
it's in our budget, it's not a big chain,
and it was damn good.
Now, I gotta go,
it's cold as brick, I'll see you later.
Peace.
(camera shutter clicking) (hip-hop music)

Hümeyra's yoga session - Elif Episode 657 | Season 4 Episode 97 (English subtitles) - Duration: 3:34.
What do you think that sister Hümeyra is doing?
She's doing prenatal yoga.
What is that?
Let's call it a type of yoga, for pregnant women.
We got it. What is it good for, she's asking that.
Your sister Hümeyra is doing this to get through his pregnancy with ease...
to strengthen her waist and spine, sweetheart.
In the mean time, this is also done as a prenatal exercise.
Fine, dear, but...
all these bendings and twisting, won't they harm the kid?
If it's done properly, no problem, sis Yıldız.
I've heard that it also helps with the cramps.
It is healthy, I mean.
It is useful indeed, but...
you think...
she got it all right?
Doesn't seem to me that way.
It seemed to me that she's in control.
After certain movements and warming up,
no problem at all.
If sister Hümeyra has done yoga before, she would know all of it.
Before?
Mrs. Hümeyra? Yoga?
Don't make me laugh, for God's sake.
The kid'll get hurt right there!
You're one of a kind, sis Yıldız!
No problem, not an issue.
She's careful with her.
Where was I breathing off?
I've confused myself.
I thought of warming up in first place, but no.
Tarık is right, I need a proper instructor.

Seriously: Green's Grey Zone; Prison Buddies - Duration: 5:30.
You know I may have said this before but there is a fantastic issue of Seven Days
out in the world now and on the cover this week is a very timely very
important story about a Middlebury College student named Elizabeth Dunn who
is facing possible suspension or expulsion because she went on Facebook
and published a list of men to avoid in which she accused 36 male students of
varying degrees of sexual misconduct. Now we've been getting a lot of comments
from our readers about this story including many that suggest miss Dunn
has ruined the lives of these 36 men which is interesting because there's
only one student in the story who might not be allowed to graduate college and
spoiler alert: it's not one of those dudes. Now whether or not you agree with
what Miss Dunn has done this is a very interesting story that raises a lot of
important questions and it ties in nicely to a long overdue conversation
we're currently having as a country so I strongly suggest checking it out.
Speaking of important questions there's another interesting story this week
about legal weed. What? I'm here we just try and keep this quick. A lot of people
are trying to get with me right now. Oh hey Weed. Gotta say you've really been
the talk of the state ever since Gov Scott signed you into law. Yeah i'm
kind of a big deal right now. It's been a really humbling experience
and by humbling I mean I'm dope as hell right now, Bryan.
Dope as you may be, seems like there's gonna be a lot of legal gray
areas when this law goes into effect in July. What don't you understand? Obviously
it'll still be illegal to buy or sell you. Duh. But apparently it'll be legal to
give an ounce or less of you to a friend. So what's the problem?
Okay so what happens if I buy something legal off of a friend say a used book.
Yep. And I pay my friend $50 for that used book. Okay I'm there. And then my friend
gives me an eighth of weed as a thank you for buying that used book... Oh! To be
clear I'm not recommending people actually do that. I'm just
saying I wouldn't be surprised that people who used to be pot dealers start
selling legal things and become pot gifters. "But officer I was just selling a
ziploc bag. That weed inside was a free gift!"
Exactly. I also learned you're still not going to be able to get high in public,
you'll have to do it in your own house or at a friend's house. Yeah
in that regard nothing's changed. And even though you're allowed to grow two
mature plants and four immature plants it will still be illegal to buy seeds.
That seems stupid. It's dumb as hell, but if you give me $100 for this potting
soil I'll throw in some dank seeds as a free gift. You know I was also surprised
to learn that the one ounce limit only applies to what you carry on you when
you leave the house. In terms of weed you've already cultivated or been gifted
from friends you can stockpile as much as you want. Yeah as long as it's in a
secure location and the landlords are chill with it you can pretty much stockpile
as much weed as you want. I mean our house is completely filled with weed.
One last thing, and I'm not saying you're to blame for this, but did you read that
story this week about the guy who has spent over 1,000 hours talking about
nothing but Pink Floyd on his radio show? I did and if that seems like a long time
you should try talking to a Phish fan.
Finally this has been a very unflattering week for Governor Phil
Scott thanks in no small part to those pesky Seven Days news writers. On Thursday we
learned that the governor's budget proposal would completely eliminate a
one-point thirty nine million dollar program that helps disabled Vermonters
to hire people to lend a hand with their day-to-day needs such as bathing getting
dressed preparing meals. The governor coincidentally forgot to mention that
during his budget address. The very next day we learned that Governor Phil Scott
was meeting with lobbyists from a private prison corporation back in
February of last year. The governor coincidentally forgot to mention that a
few weeks ago when he proposed building a new 140 million dollar private prison.
Now this private prison corporation is coincidentally the same corporation who
has now offered to build that 140 million dollar private prison. And in yet
another bizarre coincidence that same corporation, who is not based in Vermont,
donated $1000 to Governor Phil Scott's successful campaign for governor back in
2016. I mean there's so many coincidences. Wow.
Sounds like if disabled Vermonters want the governor to care about them they're
gonna have to come up with at least $1,000. Something tells me the November
election just got even more interesting. Well that's all I have for you this week.
Thank you so much for watching. Please like share subscribe tell your parents I
don't know. We'll see you again next week.

Exploding Whales explained - Duration: 5:45.
Whales. They are by far the largest animals on earth
The Blue Whale is very likely even the largest animal to have ever lived
That a lot of people have a fascination with whales is therefore not really surprising.
So whenever somewhere a whale is washed up on the shore even if it's dead you can expect that it will attract many bystanders
the chance to safely gaze at one of these giants and
Even inspect them up close is something that people typically don't want to miss out on
but in actuality
it's not as safe as it might seem
At any time an explosive rupture of the whales body
Can spread several tons of internal matter in a fraction of a second at a speed of up to 70 km/h (43mph)
Over 50 meters (160ft) across the beach
especially if someone decides to poke the carcass, tries to move or even climb on it
But what causes this phenomenon?
When a whale dies and the blood circulation and the respiration stop its body has no way of removing
excess carbon dioxide and other waste products
Which causes an acidic environment in the cells
as a result the cells lose their
structural integrity and their membranes rupture, which causes the animal's tissues to break down
additionally bacteria naturally present in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract start to proliferate
consuming the body's carbohydrates lipids and proteins
This process is referred to as putrefaction and causes organ liquefaction and the accumulation of a variety of gases
like carbon dioxide methane and nitrogen
These gases then build up inside the animal which causes the cadaver to bloat sometimes to twice its original size
At some point when the pressure gets too high
Fluids and gases are forced to escape from natural orifices such as mouth or anus
Sharks can also contribute to the creation of these sorts of weak points
These processes aren't just present in whales
The build-up and subsequent release of gas happens with most animals as they decompose even in humans
But it's usually fairly unspectacular
What makes it so extreme and potentially dangerous in whales simply has to do with their size
More mass means more gas and therefore bigger pressure
additionally a thick layer of blubber beneath the skin
contains the pressure much better and longer than in other animals
So when a whale beaches and no scavengers can create weak points to relieve the pressure
You can sometimes end up with a spectacularly bloated carcass
The whale's own body weight can even cause orifices to close up
Intensifying the problem. At this point a carefully performed controlled release
of the whales Internal pressure by making a shallow slit with a long-handled knife is the best option to avoid an uncontrolled explosion
But even this can be potentially dangerous as shown in a viral video from 2013 where a sperm whale
Exploded in a spectacular fashion while a marine biologist was cutting it open in an attempt to release the pressure inside the carcass
Another notable instance of an exploding whale occurred
in 2004 in Taiwan as another sperm whale exploded
while being transported to a research centre near the southwestern city of Tainan
splattering cars shops and bystanders with blood and guts
But by far the most spectacular whale explosion happened when a large grey whale washed up on the shore of Oregon
in 1970 - although humans have contributed slightly more to that particular explosion
officials from the Oregon State Highway Division
Tasked with removing the carcass were unsure what to do with a giant whale but ultimately decided to simply try to blow it up
a charge of half a ton - 20 cases of dynamite - was selected
even though a military veteran with explosive training warned them that this was far too much
The hope was that the whale would be almost disintegrated
by the explosion and that all small pieces still around after the explosion
would be taken care of by seagulls and other scavengers
But instead the explosion sent hundreds of pieces of whale blubber hundreds of metres into the air
The roughly is 75 bystanders
as well as a news team which were there to film the explosion
quickly had to start running for their lives as it began to rain large chunks of dead whale in a radius of up to
250 meters (820 ft) around the carcass. The veterans brand new car was even hit by a particularly large piece of blubber
Completely destroying it
after the dust had settled
It became clear that the explosion had not only scared away all the seagulls who were supposed to clean things up
But it had also left the remaining chunks far too big for any bird to eat
Which meant that the highway crews had to spend the next few days cleaning up the mess all on their own

How To Attract Women Using Social Media | Use Social Media To Get More Dates - Duration: 7:00.
Matt: Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat, Twitter, Badoo... The list goes on, but can you really use
social media to your advantage to make women like you and get more dates? When
you meet a girl, should you get her Snap chat or just her phone number? Is it
really worth it to troll Facebook and send random women messages? Can you still
get girls on Instagram even if you're not Dan Bilzerian? My name is Matt
Artisan from The Attractive Man, and this is how to use social media to get more dates!
We've done all the testing. We know what works.
Before we jump into it, go ahead
and hit the subscribe button, do it right now, hit subscribe! Because I know you're
a badass! First, let's talk about getting her phone number versus getting her
social media account. Well nowadays they're pretty much one and the same,
since all the popular social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat all
have messaging capabilities. The benefit of social media however is she can see
your pictures and videos. That's right! It can help her remember just how damn sexy you are!
And she can see your attractive lifestyle, so you better show off your
Lamborghini in like, every picture. Just kidding - don't do that. That's really
douchey. But seriously, when she views your posts she'll see that you're just a
cool guy, that you have lots of friends, that you're probably not a serial killer,
or leader of an elite terrorist organization. So that being said social
media is actually better than a phone number; just make sure you pimp out your
page first. Just post cool pictures regularly and avoid pictures of your
food. She doesn't need to see that disgusting hamburger you just ate, you animal killer.
Actually, that looks delicious! Can we see that again?
*Check out that sexy hamburger*
Shannon: I tend to like to get a little bit of info on the person you're going out with.
But of course you don't want to learn everything, because what kind of first
date will that be? If you both pre- checked everything about each other?
That's not gonna be very much fun. But it is nice to get a little info...
Matt: Social media is also a great way to stay on a woman's radar. She can get super jealous
that you were front-row at Justin Bieber, or that you took this girl to the movies
instead of her. Whereas through SMS, you have to send her an individual text. And
only she will see it. It's one-off communication. And I mean, who has time
for that these days? On social media when you post something, hundreds, even
thousands of girls can see it. Girls are also more likely to say yes to giving
out their social media accounts versus their phone number because they know
they can easily block you if you turn out to be some weird creepy psychopath
who constantly sends her dick pics. Stop doing that! Plus she probably wants
more followers so she can pump up her ego and feel better about herself.. It's
true... *Sarcastic bragging follows*: Look at me! I have 13 thousand followers on Instagram! So yeah, I'm a
pretty big deal... "I'm very important... I have... many leather-bound books."
Matt: You can even use social media as a way to approach girls in the club. Just go up to
them and say: "Snapchat!" This literally works every time. Well, as long as they
have Snapchat. But if you're in your 40's and going to cougar lounges, then this
probably isn't the best opener for you.
Andy: "Hi, I'm Andy. Can I get you another cocktail?"
Matt: Then every time you post something, just check to see who viewed it. If you notice
that the same girl is viewing like, all of your snaps, then just send her a
message. As long as she's hot. There's a really good chance that she'll be down
to meet you in person since she's viewing all of your snaps, and is
basically a fan. I personally use Snap chat as a way to interject more fun
into the interaction. I basically just whip out my phone and say, "Hey, let's take
a snap!" And then just command everybody to do a silly pose. "Do a funny pose!" This is
fun and women love taking pictures and videos. She's likely to comply because a
snap only lasts 24 hours, unlike Facebook which lasts an eternity. And then you
have the perfect reason to add her to your Snap chat and message her later.
Quick side-note, both Facebook Messenger and Instagram both have the 24 hour
story or add to your date capability now, so you can use those as well. Another
benefit of social media is that it can actually make a woman feel more
connected to you. Think about it, if she sees your posts on social media she has
a better sense of who you are and what you're all about, and she's more likely
to feel comfortable meeting you because she'll feel like she's known you for a
while. Unless you have pictures like this... I once had a brief interaction with a
girl, then didn't talk to her for four years because I had a girlfriend. And
after I broke up with my girlfriend I hit up that girl on Facebook, and we
ended up meeting up. Now, she knew everything about like what had been
going on the past four years, all my traveling, and my adventures, etc. She's
been watching my videos and seeing my pictures online and I highly doubt that
she would have been comfortable enough to meet up with me if I only got her
phone number. She probably wouldn't have even remembered me if it was just
through text. So how else can you use social media to your advantage? Well, if
you have an active profile, and a lot of followers, then it can be great for
"social proof." Social proof is when someone's thoughts and actions get
influenced by the thoughts and actions of the masses. Which basically means if a
girl sees that you have a lot of fans and followers who think you're cool, she
will be influenced by the crowd and will also think you're cool. This isn't a
video on how to build up your Instagram or Facebook page there's plenty of
resources out there for that. I think a reasonable goal is, 10 million followers
then you'll always be surrounded by hot Instagram models who want to be
Instagram famous. Now what about actually meeting girls on social media? Well, if
you have an awesome profile and you do cool things like traveling, adventure, you
have really good pictures, maybe you live a high-status lifestyle, then it's likely
that women will add you and message you first. Which is a lot better than you
messaging them first. Now, if you're not at that stage of the game yet, should you
message them? Well here's the deal, it doesn't really hurt anything to randomly
add or message a girl out of the blue. However, if you want to meet women online,
then I recommend that you just use a dating app like tinder or bumble.. because
those girls are more likely to be single and are actively looking for a date.
You just have better odds, and it's a better way to utilize your time. And you
know what works ten times better than meeting women online? It's meeting women
during the day. In everyday situations. Have you ever seen a beautiful woman
walking down the street or in a coffee shop, you wanted to approach her but you
just didn't know what to say? Well, that's why I created this free Conversation
Cheat Sheet, where I break down exactly what to say to spark attraction. You get
my top conversation starters for any situation. Simple techniques to never run

The Crazy Way I Got Hired At BuzzFeed - Duration: 5:32.
- Apparently someone at this company thought I was charming
and not like a total loser. (laughs)
(playful music)
- So, data science is a pretty specialized field
and I kind of fell into it by accident.
I had no intentions of being a data scientist.
- I moved to LA about a year and six months ago with no job,
no place to stay, none of that,
and I was just kinda like interning around the city of LA.
- I had my own small YouTube channel
and I was a big BuzzFeed fan girl.
I watched like all the videos.
I like had all my favorites.
- I was in my final week of college doing finals
and I freaked out one night
and was like well I need to get a damn job.
- I'm a very big soccer fan and I was in a betting pool
with a bunch of my friends and I was doing really well in it
so I was like, you know what?
I bet I could write an algorithm
that does all this betting for me on scale
and I could just sit back and just rake in the cash.
So I went and starting teaching myself data science
using free online courses for the sole purpose
of writing a betting algorithm and getting rich off of it.
- When I found out that they were hiring,
a friend of mine who had went through the internship here
said, "Oh, you'd be perfect for this.
"I'll recommend you."
- One night I went out
and I got extremely, extremely intoxicated.
I got back home at about like three in the morning
and my drunk friend convinced me
that I should look for jobs.
- I applied for like seven jobs at this company
and then after that I graduated, lived my life,
and the night of my birthday actually I got an email
from Buzzfeed to do a video interview.
So heres the thing, I was intoxicated
because I had been drinking since like 9:00 a.m.,
and then I saw the interview and I was like (bleep).
I actually need to look appropriate and look nice
and not look like I've been having like five tequila shots.
- I was like, you know, BuzzFeed's a viral company.
They like internet things and trends on the internet.
So, I tweeted: if this tweet gets 1,000 retweets,
BuzzFeed has to hire me
because that's how the internet works.
- I got called in for my interview.
On the way I got very nervous
so I kept checking my phone
to make sure I was going the right way,
and one of the times I was checking my phone,
don't check your phone while driving!
I didn't notice the person in front of me stopped moving
and rolled right into them.
I wasn't going super fast but I definitely hit the car
in front of me.
- And I was like,
oh, if this catches on it will be
like the most epic BuzzFeed article.
It didn't catch on.
It got nowhere near 1,000 retweets.
I don't even know if anyone at BuzzFeed ever saw it.
It was just kinda like a really sad thing
and I was like I kinda wanted to just delete
the tweet just 'cause I was like,
oh, this is embarrassing for me that I put this out there
and got nowhere near where I wanted.
So I was like now it's just a sad BuzzFeed article.
- Immediately I called the person I was meeting here
at BuzzFeed for my interview and being like,
"I might be late, I just hit a car."
And I like kinda was starting to cry
and this person on the other line was like,
"Uh, are you okay?
"Don't worry about it we can like adjust your time."
I'm like, "No, no I think I'll figure it out."
- I did the video interview and I looked at the camera
and I was like, "Hi, my name is Joyce
"and I'm really fun-loving."
I don't even remember much of what it said.
It was mostly like, "What's your favorite BuzzFeed video?"
And I couldn't think of crap.
So I was like, "Oh, I really love the dry ice."
- So then the guy gets out of the car
and we have a discussion and he clearly just doesn't want
to deal with me so he kinda, like, leaves.
Never heard from this guy again, so I'm still sorry sir.
And I like get to BuzzFeed and I'm still on time.
I'm 5 minutes early.
And they're like, "Do you need a moment?"
And I'm like "No, no I got this."
And I like ran upstairs still shaking.
- Funny enough nobody from BuzzFeed actually got back
to me when I applied on the website and so I went online
and went on Twitter and on LinkedIn
and every recruiter I found that was for Buzzfeed,
anybody that said anything about a BuzzFeed type thing.
I just started messaging them directly
and after two months and I think seven or eight stages
of interviews I eventually got hired
to be the first data scientist in BuzzFeed LA's operations.
- While I was out here interning I ended up being
an extra in a BuzzFeed video
where I met another production coordinator here.
We ended up getting coffee,
and then I just kind of told him some of my experiences
and then I showed him the tweet.
He laughed at it and he was like,
"Yeah no, that's not gonna work."
But he told me to apply for the position.
I applied, interviewed, and the rest is history.
- And at the end of the interview I was like,
"Oh, what are you looking for in an employee here?"
And they said, you know,
someone who kinda goes with the flow.
And I was like, "Well, if you want someone that goes
"with the flow, I got in an accident on the way here
"and still made it to my interview on time."
And they were like...
- And then like a couple days later I was asked to come
to California for the real interview.
And they really liked me
and it's all because I got drunk one night on my birthday.
- Overall I would say the funniest part of all of this is,
you know, me landing this really big career jump
as a result of gambling and drinking that got me here.
- I made it!
Fan girl turned employee.
It's a Cinderella story.
- If you put it out there, I mean, whatever your goal is,
whatever your dreams are,
no matter how like ridiculous they may seem at the time.
It's really weird that in some way,
I think putting it out there makes it more real.
So you know, put it out there.
The universe might give it to you.
(playful music)
