  • Good morning, John.

  • Thanks a lot for your video yesterday.

  • I wish that I could say that it prevented me from constantly refreshing my feed last night.

  • It did not.

  • I'm still kinda doing it.

  • We are very slow.

  • It counting votes in Montana.

  • And I also want to tell you about an idea that me and some friends have had in a similar vein.

  • Which is why I'm wearing a sport coat today.

  • Earlier this year, I posted a really bad idea on Twitter.

  • It said, What if you had to go to a place to watch a YouTube video?

  • The most common response to this, of course, was Thanks.

  • I hate it.

  • Look, I understand.

  • But just because that idea is bad doesn't mean you shouldn't get obsessed with it and think about it for eight months and then finally doing something, that slope of different version, we'll get there.

  • So I love the Internet.

  • I love this social nature of the Internet, of the good, interesting social things.

  • The Internet has done.

  • A love note, Valtteri.

  • Now I feel like a little bit.

  • Maybe the pendulum has swung too far, and now I'm suddenly much more interested in innovating in this space of physical experiences.

  • So that's one piece, the other pieces you might remember a long time ago I did Unturned et trivia game called Truth or Fail, and it was great but relied on YouTube annotations, and so is now literally impossible.

  • But what if you could only watch truth or fail?

  • If you went to a physical place and I know what you're thinking?

  • Now you're thinking, Hank, you just invented pub trivia like That's also already a thing.

  • And so we have.

  • But also, I think this idea changes if you look at it from different angles.

  • So true, there felt trivia.

  • It's a thing.

  • It exists.

  • It's available now, and it's available in various forms.

  • But let's talk a little bit about what it is.

  • Complexly, our production company that a sideshow and crash course puts together a bunch of questions.

  • There's a standard version, which is like any other pub trivia, so it's hosted by a person in the place where you are.

  • It comes with a very pretty slideshow designed by size show's heroine, Matsushima.

  • And those slides have the questions on it, which is great with one of my big pub trivia pet peeves is that sometimes you can't hear the questions and some people can't hear well at all.

  • And so it's very hard to play if you don't hear the question.

  • There's also the hosted version, which is a full length, five round trivia, all hosted by people who are on the TV's People Include Me, but also other hosts of size show all you need to somebody to set it up, push play on the video and then do the score.

  • And both of those packages have one guest video round that's going to be guest hosted by a bunch of my Internet friend.

  • But also, I think that, like bars aren't the only place for this is a good idea.

  • We've been thinking about it in like, the bar frame for too long, and so we've got a pub package, which is, Ah, weekly subscription, where you get a new one every week.

  • But there's also a school package where you buy it a semester at a time.

  • So basically for the cost of bringing 1/10 of ah medium popular band from the two thousands to the campus toe play for 1 90 minute set, you can get a whole semester of trivia reason.

  • I'm so excited about truth or filled trivia like excited enough to add it to the list of things that I'm doing is just the idea of friends coming together to meet at a place in a space and have thes physical experiences that are a little bit mediated.

  • So not all of the social pressure is on you to make you make these thing interesting and also with pub trivia.

  • There's like a very good reason to not look at your phone because you could be cheating.

  • So you have to not look at your phone for a while.

  • And phones are great.

  • Don't get me wrong.

  • The Internet is great, but so is just being dumb with some folks for a while, like learning and connecting in, building community and winning and losing and learning things about each other.

  • Thanks to the hard work of a lot of great people, this is the thing that's going to be in the world if you're interested in us letting you know if truth of field trivia shows up nearby you.

  • There's a survey down on the description that is very quick and easy to fill out.

  • And if you want to get a business or school or organization that you work with involved, there is also a survey in the description for you.

  • Now.

  • There's also a chance that no one wants this, and if not enough people sign up, we won't be able to do it.

  • So sales are open now at truth or fell dot com for a low introductory price.

  • And the trivia starts going out in early 2019.

  • Thanks, John.

  • I'll see you tomorrow.

Good morning, John.
