 Good morning, Hank. It's Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016. I gotta go vote. Walk with me. Just an absolutely beautiful day for an election. Done and done. The best part is you get a sticker. You'll never guess where I'm going next. That's right, Hank. In a stunning turn of events, I find myself in an airport. This one, I've at least done this. You know my number one complaint about the Indianapolis International Airport, which I truly do believe to be the best airport on Earth? Every 12 minutes... It's prohibited at... I mean, at what point in human history is it just presumed that you can't smoke in an airport? I think that point is in the past. On the other hand, I guess if it weren't for that message, I would be pretty happy just to live the rest of my life in the Indianapolis International Airport. And maybe that's what they're up to. Maybe they're trying to get me to actually get on a plane. Today's video comes to you in four very special parts. Part one, voting. I already did that. Part two, Hank, today is also my dad's birthday, which I guess means it's also your dad's birthday. Lots of people don't know this, but our dad basically ran our company until a year ago. He did, like, all the payroll and budgeting and spreadsheets that made Crash Course and SciShow possible. He's also just a really great dad and person. Happy birthday, dad. I love you. Why is it so easy to say I love you to my parents when I can only say it once a year to my brother on Esther Day? Anyway, part three, racing. So, Hank, I'm gonna be driving the Pace car on May 14th at the Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis. I was very excited about this because I'm a big fan of Indy cars, but then I went to the track and I did my practice. I thought that being the Pace car driver was like a purely ceremonial position. You know, like running with the Olympic torch or being the Prime Minister of Putin's Russia. But it turns out, no, I have to drive the car what is, for me, very fast, like 110 miles an hour in the straightaways. Oh, and I'm very scared. If you watch it on TV, just remember I'm doing my best. Part four, speaking of Crash, and God, I hope I don't crash Crash Course. Hank, here in the United States, millions of high school students are taking their AP tests right now. This is always great news for Crash Course, our view skyrocket. Anyway, I just wanted to take this opportunity to say to high school students, doing well on tests is great, but it is not the point of life or the point of education. Tests are a somewhat inefficient way of measuring your understanding of, like, life, the universe and everything. But the point is not to do well on the test. The point is to have a more engaged and fulfilling life during this year one brief flicker of consciousness. So good luck and study hard, but not just for the test. Part five. Did I say there were only going to be four parts? Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes. Right, part five is my beard. Hank, as you may have noticed, I have shaved. I didn't shave for six consecutive weeks because AFC Wimbledon, the fourth tier English soccer team sponsored by Nerdfighteria, just kept winning. And it got to the point where I was pretty desperate to shave, but I also wanted AFC Wimbledon to make the playoffs. Because if they made the playoffs, they'd have a 25% chance of becoming a third tier English soccer team. And it's always been my dream to sponsor a third tier English soccer team. And then, Hank, the most amazing thing happened. First, AFC Wimbledon lost a game, allowing me to shave. And then another team didn't win a game, allowing AFC Wimbledon to make the playoffs anyway. So good luck to AFC Wimbledon. If they make it to the finals, Hank, I am going to Wembley Stadium to watch the game. Also, Vice Sports made a great documentary about the team and my relationship with them. So check that out. Part six, last part, I promise VidCon. Nerdfighters, if you want to participate in this... Efectivo al no se permite fumar. I know I can't fumar! If you want to participate in the signings in meet and greets, you have to register by May 13th, so fair warning. All right, the no smoking messages have gotten annoying enough that I'm going to get on the plane. Hank, I'll see you on Friday.
