Veritasium & Team Record Gold Invade London

·Nov 10, 2024

Hey YouTube! I have a really important announcement to make. It's not that you're going to shave your beard, is it? No, it is way bigger than that! Roll sound!

I'm here at the Olympic cauldron in Vancouver. As you know, I've been traveling for a long time. I left Sydney, I came to Vancouver, went to Detroit, New York, Statue of Liberty there, uh, Toronto, water where I was mobbed by a fan, extra favorite, then LA for VidCon, San Francisco, and now back in Vancouver. But this is only the start of the journey.

I am leading a team of YouTubers and I'm heading to London for the 2012 Olympic Games. Now, this team, you have to meet them. They're extraordinary people! From Brisbane, we have Ellie.

"Oh, hey there! My name's Ellie. I'm from Appat. I'm a girl geek and awesome person!"

From Tasmania, we have the Archer, Erica Anir. Now, one of the rules is you always need an Archer, no matter what kind of team you're putting together. Always comes in handy! You've seen The Avengers, okay?

And from Perth, we have these guys, How Ridiculous!

"We do trick shots, and we're super excited to invade London with some awesome content!"

Now also from Perth, we have EIT 30. So, if you're inspired by the games and you want to work out, you got to check them out 'cause they've got all the best Olympic-themed workouts. And finally, we have a little channel called Minute Physics; you may have heard of it.

"It's a dictatorship. Universe, you decide how you work, work, and I get no vote. I would complain except that I do get to decide where to stick my nose and which questions to ask!"

So that is Team Record Gold. Over the next few weeks, we're all going to be doing content themed around the Olympics. So subscribe to all the channels so you can find out what they're doing!

I'm going to be doing the science of sport and the science in and around London, so stay tuned for that, and I will see you in London!

[Music] [Music]

Oh yeah, and I'm going to shave off my...

[Applause] [Music]

...beard! So there you have it! Are you regretting this now?

"Yeah, just a little bit."

Yeah, that's what I thought. It'll grow back!

Oh, and one more thing. It's become clear to me that, uh, it's quite difficult to make videos about science while traveling, while I'm on the road. So I apologize for those of you who have been looking for really hardcore science content, but I'm going to kick it up a notch!

And to separate out the non-science things, I'm starting a second channel called...

"Veritasium!"

Uh, so that's like an isotope where I can just communicate with you, respond to comments, and do things that are just more off the cuff and let you know what's going on.

So, uh, if you want to watch me say, climb a headless ice bear, then, um, then click the link! That's weird, like if you want, you can...
