As the black sheep daughter of a radiologist (because what kind of a profession is TV Hosting anyway?!), I felt like this video was the culmination of my father-daughter relationship. I spent over an hour on the phone with my dad, who explained the ins-and-outs of radiation to me. He told me a lot of incredible information that didn’t make the cut – like did you know that milli, of millirems, comes from the Latin word for mile, because the length of a mile was supposedly the distance of 1,000 Roman soldier steps? #NerdAlert Now you know where it comes from.
This video took a ton of time to research and edit, but it was worth the wait, because it is filled with a ton of really cool- and valuable- information. Well, if you think science is cool, which, for the record, it is! My favorite factoid was learning that humans give off more radiation than a scanner! This is why I’m thankful a sleep alone.
If you feel inspired, check out the American Nuclear Society’s website to calculate how much radiation you get per year. I’m at 553 so far.
Dodging taxis going 60mph on a Ducati motorcycle, gorging myself at a gorgeous al fresco Italian restaurant, then catching up with my friend from high school at her Forbes-featured dessert place… yep, that’s all in a New York Minute! Check out how I try to gain five pounds (as part of my YouTube travel series +5) in my old hometown of New York City. And serious props to Go Pro- how incredible is that footage from the “motorcycle cam”?
Here it is!! After so many tweets and requests, we have finally put out another Ke$ha parody. This one is for her new single “Die Young”, and I must say, we are pretty stoked we beat the actual official music video. My favorite scene was the trash can scene, although I literally bled for that! The trash can was a tight squeeze and my knee got into a fight with a bolt, and the bolt won. There’s nothing like bleeding for your art. And yes, feel free to make fun of the art comment. Enjoy! xx
