Hey geograpeeps!
-
You guys asked for another Q& A video, so I asked you to ask me questions on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
-
So let's just jump in.
-
rihanna_fanta_banta27 says "Do you know about the New Zealand All Blacks?"
-
Oh, you mean - (does the haka). May have heard a little bit about them.
-
Tanner Wilson says, "Your thoughts on more people wanting to visit Antarctica on vacation?"
-
Do it, but don't get cocky, okay?
-
That place was never meant to be a tourist trap.
-
Scott Carl Wild says "which currency do you think has the best artwork/design?"
-
I think I actually read an article in which they voted on this,
-
and they all agreed that the New Zealand $5 banknote was the most attractive banknote,
-
with Sir Edmond Hillary, the guy who climbed Mount Everest,
-
and on the back, a little penguin and here there's a little transparent slot.
-
You know what?
-
Yeah. This is a pretty good looking bank note.
-
It's pretty cool. I like it.
-
I really like it.
-
Although I have to admit, the guy on the $50 Barbadian banknote looks so thug.
-
He's all like, "Yeah, you know you wanna come here, son."
-
cindy_wb says "Planning on cutting your hair?"
-
New Year's Day.
-
Genevieve_dibz99 says "Favorite type of dog?"
-
Airdale Terrier.
-
Anthony Grigorian says "Did you feel the New Zealand earthquake?"
-
You know what's funny, I believe the earthquake happened
-
as I was flying home from New Zealand, so it was literally like:
-
Dum Dumi says "You favorite singer/band?"
-
Ah man, there's so many.
-
It really kinda depends on what mood I'm in.
-
Recently I've been getting a lot more into instrumental bands that don't incorporate vocals.
-
Of course you can't go wrong with 2 Cellos, and if I'm feeling a little light-hearted,
-
then maybe Lindsey Stirling?
-
As you guys know, I've been more into progressive metal these days,
-
so Apocalyptica and Pellican have up there.
-
Now, once every so often I might feel a little bit of old-school soul stuff, and if that's the case,
-
I gotta go with Sam Cook, Doney Hallaway, Odis Redding, Bobby Bluebland.
-
On a typical day where I just feel kinda chill and just wanna listen to something classical,
-
of course you can't go wrong with Rachmaninoff or Liszt or Sibelius.
-
Ezio Bosso and of course who doesn't like Andrea Bocelli.
-
New school stuff - you can't go wrong with Ryan McKnight,
-
Carolina Chocolate Drops,
-
I might go for some James Morrison.
-
Or of course my boy Gavin Degraw.
-
Ron Pope, Ben l'Oncle Soul, my go-to kareoke songs are Billy Joel,
-
Bon Jovi, and that one Vanessa Carlton song.
-
Eh, there's a lot more but I'm not gonna get into that.
-
It's gonna take too long.
-
Francisco Montesdeoca says "what food from what country have you ever wanted to try but haven't had the chance to yet?"
-
I've never tried straight-up Arctic Inuit food.
-
Like whale blubber or seal or anything like that.
-
I've always wanted to try this one fruit I heard of that's only found in Puerto Rico,
-
I think it's called like quenepas.
-
Joonatan Pötinen says "how many countries have you been to?"
-
This many.
-
Emma Falk says "who is the most interesting person you have met on your travels?"
-
Probably the former prime minister of Finland.
-
Steph_G97 says "do an Irish accent."
-
(with Irish accent) Well Steph, that's actually not quite a question but -
-
I used to skype a lot with my intern Potter, as you know, he's from Ireland.
-
I know there's a lot of different types of Irish accents
-
There's Dublin, there's Cork, there's Limerick, but this is the type of accent that I'm most accustomed to.
-
When I've listened to Potter talk.
-
I love hearing him talk, it's very endearing.
-
Potter, come to Los Angeles.
-
I'd love to see you here.
-
Kaleb Bright says, "Hey dude, met you in Christchurch."
-
Oh hey Kaleb! I remember you.
-
"What did you think about the things we did?"
-
Dude, those ducks loved you.
-
Dean Taylor says, "how would I know if I'm suffering from memory loss?"
-
Sorry, what?
-
Ryan Conner says "which starter should I choose for Pokemon Sun and Moon?"
-
I never made it past the first generation.
-
But let's see what this is.
-
The heck - this is Pokemon?
-
It's like the artists are just getting lazy now.
-
It looks like Hello Kitty diaharrea-d over Pokemon and put a bunch of happy stickers all over it.
-
I don't know. Choose the stupid-looking owl thing because emo cat is gonna backstab you
-
and floppy brain-damaged seal is gonna be useless on land.
-
He's only useful in water, so, I don't know, choose plant owl.
-
This pillow is crooked. What the -
-
adrientrem says "Please, I'm your biggest fan, answer this question."
-
Okay.
-
Daniel Sobczak says "what is your favorite spot to visit in the USA?"
-
"Why? (I know, you're a global traveler, but just looking for goof ideas for road trips here lol)."
-
Okay, I'm gonna assume you're talking about the continuous 48.
-
And not Hawaii and Alaska.
-
I've been to over 30 states in the country.
-
And I have to admit, probably the most memorable part that I've ever been to was Monument Valley in the southern valley of Utah.
-
I know everyone goes to the Grand Canyon -
-
but seriously, go to Monument Valley.
-
You will feel like you are walking amongst stone giants, it has all these amazing eroded rock formations.
-
You know, scoop a piece of red sand and put it in a plastic bag and keep it as a souvenir.
-
And you get to go to Navajo Nation, it's like a completely different country. There have their own president,
-
time zone, language, they even have their own radio stations.
-
Now A LOT of you guys asked me questions about what I think about American politics
-
what do I think about Trump? What do I think about the elections?
-
Yada, yada yada.
-
Here on Geography Now, I try specifically to avoid talking about politics,
-
let alone my country's politics.
-
Because that's like opening up a can of worms, except these worms transform into
-
venomous snakes and cobras and basiliks and Godzillas.
-
All I'm gonna say is that right now is really not a good time
-
for all the squabbling. We need to come together, both Democrats and Republicans,
-
to cooperate, and that's the only way things are gonna move forward.
-
A lot of you guys also asked about CalExit.
-
What do I think? It's not gonna happen.
-
Theoretically, it kinda maybe could,
-
but I believe by law all states are
-
perpetually contracted to the US, and the only way to leave is to create a whole new amendment,
-
which takes 2/3 of both the house and senate to approve of,
-
which is not gonna happen.
-
Do I believe California could possibly split up in separate states in the future? Maybe, I don't know.
-
But actually leaving the union? I don't think so.
-
Speaking about my country, I have a little message for my fellow American geograpeeps.
-
So, US geograpeeps, are any of you in middle school or high school and do you wanna win money for your school?
-
Yeah, I bet you do!
-
Well Samsung has given me the honor to take part in this cool project called the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest.
-
Let me ask you something. Do have an idea on how science, technology, engineering, arts, or math can improve your community?
-
And do you have a project idea that you really want to get started, but you need some help or funds?
-
That's where Samsung comes in.
-
Samsung is giving away free money and resources to schools all across America, encouraging using STEAM subjects to improve their communities.
-
So what do you do? You go to your favorite teacher and ask them to submit your school and sumbit an entry
-
to this link right here, I'll put another in the description box.
-
And remember, the last day to submit is Novemeber 30th, 2016.
-
So go ahead, submit, Samsung wants to help you out. Thank you, Samsung.
-
And with that being said, thank you for your questions.
