Hey, Vsauce. It's Michael with two big announcements. Count them, two.

First of all, there's a brand new episode of Vsauce Leanback that you can start by clicking the link at the top of this video's description. This week the topic is crazy and classic social psychology experiments. Three years ago, I was at the University of Chicago studying psychology. I mainly did neuropsychology, but it was the social stuff, the social experiments, that really were fun to watch.

So I went ahead and went through YouTube and put together some of my favorite taped experiments. A lot of these are actually very, very classic and have been very important to understanding how we act around other people. Speaking of other people, we have a brand new "Sauciest of the Week." Remember that Sauciest of the Week is given to a member of the community, a fellow WeSaucer who's done something cool, whether it's just a simple awesome comment, a great recommendation for a website or a game, or if they made something or made a video that we think we should all see.

Now, each week the winner is determined by last week's winner, and last week the first one was chosen by myself - I picked sofusser. Well, sofusser got back to me and said that this week's winner should be roadhousee. Why? Because of this video he has about goats climbing up a steep wall. Saucy! Roadhousee, if you're out there, get back to me about who you think from the WeSauce community should win next week for doing something awesome or having something cool you think we should see.

But seriously, what are you waiting for? Click the link at the top of this video's description to start lean back. If you're on a phone, as you know, it won't really work yet, so wait until it's a better time or if you're really impatient, I did put links to everything I cover in this video's description.

So, have fun... And as always, thanks for watching.
