(Intro song)
Blake: Hey internet, sup girl, this is Blake de Pastino, editor in chief of SciShow. And I'm only here today because of you, the internet, has asked for a battle royale, if you will, are you doing okay?
Hank: No, I'm fine.
Michael: (laughs)
Blake: Between the two powerhouses that make SciShow Quiz Show go. So there's YouTube magnate, William Henry "Hank" Green. Do people really call you that? Hank? Never.
Hank: I don't know.
Blake: And then, the man I'm replacing today, and who was nice enough to let me borrow this tie, Sci Show's other host, Michael Aranda.
Michael: We have a lot of those ties.
Blake: Would you like-- Can I keep this one?
Michael: Which, I think, are still available at DFTBA.com
Blake: Ohh.
Hank: /SciShow
Blake: Mhmm.
Hank: Pro tip, when you're recording a video, don't just like grab your mic.
Blake: Oh, sorry. (pats mic)
Michael: (laughs)
Blake: Sorry Stephen, I just have a little bits of crumbs.
Michael: And my power bar.
Blake: As a special thank you to our patrons on Patreon, we've selected two of you to win the prizes that these two guys will earn for you today.
Hank: Who are the people?
Blake: Well, Henr-- I mean "Hank," you'll be competing on behalf of Kevin Bealer. And Aranda, is it okay if I call you by your last name? I just--
Michael: Yes, uh. Acceptable.
Blake: Well, you'll be playing for Ry Prindle. I couldn't say that-- Hey Mike!
Michael: Ry Prindle-- Yeah, my-- I'm not a Mike.
Blake: Yeah, that doesn't seem to work.
Hank: (laughs)
Michael: I'm not a one syllable kind of guy.
Blake: I'll start you both off with one thousand SciShow bucks.
Hank: You're both embarrassing me.
Blake: Mission accomplished. And unlike last time when a host did this game, I got a lot of guff for making up points as we went along. So I'm gonna say in advance, how much each question is worth.
Hank: Okay.
Blake: If you get the question right, you win those points. If you get it wrong, you lose those points.
Hank: Okay.
