@Hank I'm a huge fan of SciShow and have been following you since the beginning. I want to point something out: Watch Mark. Watch his on camera body language. Notice his makeup. Check the angle of his head when he is talking to you. You can tell he is a career on-air person. He is aware of the camera and positions himself accordingly. I'm not saying you are bad - far from it. This is just a great learning opportunity.
I am glad somebody have noticed it. The whole time I was sitting there thinking to myself "Wow, this guy makes such a great impression, it is surreal.". By the way, the way Hank's Adam's apple goes up and down every 2 or so seconds, makes my think he noticed it as well:)
you can really feel the passion just oozes out of him; the way he desribes weather phenomenon makes it sound really fascinating for someone like me who usually doesn't even takes notice of the weather
at first i was like "oh... a fancy dressed person... very official" but then how he explains it, how he's so animated, how he loves his topics, i love it
I'm so glad that Jessi recommended against keeping sugar gliders as pets - they're delightful little creatures, but they're extremely intelligent and highly sociable, so it's quite cruel to separate them from their families (lonely sugar-gliders in captivity tend to pine away and die). Plus many pet owners try to 'make them' glide, as a kind of party trick, which can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for them. Better to visit Australia, and come and see them in the wild!
What a great episode! Really interactive, informal and very informative. I love the humor and Hank's attitude in the beginning of the video. Very happy with Scishow :)
I noticed that when Hank starts thinking really hard about crazy science that we take for granted but can change everything (like weather) he gets a lot quitter and soft spoken. It's cute (in the friendly way).
You know what the cutest animal is (in my opinion)? The quokka en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quokka I may make a video about them on my channel, they are very friendly marsupials with some unique traits.
Hey Hank, I think that, during the animal visit, I think you should make it so that the guest ( In this case Mark) would have more interaction with the animals, since at this moment, they kinda just stand there, awkwardly. You could, for example, bring an animal that the guest has some knowledge of, or challenge the guest to make something with the animal.
i live in wichita ks, the only tornado i have ever seen was the smallest dust devil you could imagine, it was barely taller than me, i was just walking to a friends house and walking through a parking lot (if you live here you can find the little old school bmw place i am talking about) that happened to have a sand patch at one side and with the way that the buildings were around it, including the at the time new raised railway going through the center of town (i was near 13th and broadway next to the tracks) the wind managed to pick up the sand in a cyclone that went on for about 30 seconds. i suppose it wasn't a real tornado, but i will never forget seeing it, that was awesome. a baby tornado.
dust devils are caused by the terrain and most notably by buildings, tornadoes are caused by cells of thunder storms and quick changing weather, very different causes but mostly the same effect, at the entrance to my walmart there is an inset part of the building and with strong winds we get dust devils due to the air swirling in the corners of the building, its interesting but by no means a tornado
I was eight and living in south Wichita when that 1991 tornado that Mark Heyka mentioned hit. The storm passed between my house and my grandmother's house six blocks away and insulation and debris rained down on our neighborhood even though there was no breeze. I was terrified of the weather after that for many years, but now I love it. I have gone tornado chasing, and it is incredible watch super cells develop!
Re: the bank discussion - after the Joplin tornado in 2011, bank vaults were some of the only recognizable structures in some neighborhoods. While doing relief work, we had to use them as landmarks because everything else was so destroyed. The vault of a bank is seriously impressive in its ability to survive anything.
This episode was awesome! But you should totally do another episode focused on that guys awesome memory of dates! Test him on it with events from the news or something to that effect! Keep up the great work!
Hank, don't complain about the lack of thunderstorms in Missoula! Try Seattle, we're lucky to get 1-2 thunderstorms here a year. I miss the thunderstorms I grew up with in Missoula.
As a Floridian who is currently sitting through a thunderstorm instead of her daily walk, I speak for all of us when I say you can have them if you'd like
Great video and it was awesome to see someone who went to Washburn University (where Mark Heyka got a broadcasting journalism degree and where I'm currently studying) on SciShow. Topeka, Kansas being represented well :)
I'm really glad I don't have to take care of one of those Sugar Gliders. I quite like my clothes as they are, and I also quite enjoy sleeping at night.
We film a bunch at once and then edit them and upload them every two weeks. That's why you can hear birds in the background even though there are no birds in the episode. Jessi brings animals to match up with all the guests and then film a handful of guests all in one day.
Move to Southern Kentucky. Three or four Tornadoes a year. Around 15-25 Thunderstorms a year. Usually about 25 inches of snow a year total. Around 102F highs in the summer. Its crazy.
When I was a kid, I was on a boat off the coast of Southern Florida and we saw two water spouts, side by side. The guy piloting the boat got quite excited and made sure we all saw it.
Okay cool, so I'm not the only person who gets giddy with excitement during major storms. I respect their power of course, but still I always had this idea that the hurricane parties sounded like they were peopled with crazy folk like me and that storm chasing sounded like a cool job for somebody like me. It's nice to know I'm not a freak or anything. n,n; And sugar gliders=awww+cute to the Nth degree. Sad about them being uprooted from their home turf though. Nature should be appreciated In Nature where it belongs. Thanks guys for sharing. Love these vids immensely! Definitely one of my favorite channels.
Being from Missoula MT (where Heyka does the weather) and a subscriber to SciShow, I was stoked to see this episode. Mark Heyka is a mother#$%&!@# weather genius and a good dude. Hank, you were pretty cool before but you gained two notches on the awesome scale with this one.
I had a mudskipper that loved mealworms. One thing I liked to tell people at the time was "I'm taking my fish for a walk." I'll never have another mudskipper unless they figure out how to breed them in captivity. They do make very engaging pets. The fish would hop into my hand and I could walk around the house with it, and it would eat from my fingers.
I live in Northern IL and we experienced a tornado outbreak just 2 days ago. There was an EF4 that blew through a town called Washington IL and debris from that town has been found in towns as far as 100 miles plus away!! There was a picture of some patio furniture embedded in the side of a concrete wall of a store! Very powerful storm.
You're near Washington, IL? I'm close to a town called Gifford, IL in central Illinois that also experienced tornado damage. About 60 houses were completely demolished in that town. I hope you guys up there have as much support from the community as Gifford does. *hopeful wave* :)
Those sugar gliders are so damn cute. Their gliding ability is amazing, makes me wonder if bats have an ancient ancestor that would have lived like sugar gliders.
if everyone that is subscribed to sci show went to subbable and donated $0.25 a month. sci show would get OVER $250,000! Imagine what they could do with that!
Woah...you filmed this on September 20th! That's a pretty big time gap between then and when you release the videos....huh. Speaking of tornadoes though, please keep everyone in the midwest, especially those in Washington, IL (I live about an hour north of it) who have been completely devastated by the tornado outbreaks in your thoughts (and prayers if you are religious)!
As soon as Hank introduced him to us, I had the song stuck in my head.. Ma-ma-ma-ma Mark Heyka He told his for sons Ma-ma-ma-ma Mark Heyka To handle for guns Ma-ma-ma-ma Mark Heyka He never could cry Ma-ma-ma-ma Mark Heyka But he knew how to die
The soft dense fur I'm guessing makes them really aerodynamic because instead of air going through between each hair follicle creating more drag, they go around the whole thing. It's like that thing with swimmers shaving everything they have or the fact that they have swimming caps. The density of the fur makes all the fur act cohesively.
Hey Hank, Love the show. Long time watcher, first time typer, My question, (on behalf of my 9 year old daughter), is: Could teleportation ever be possible? My apologies if you've already covered this.
Didn't know that when they say it's x% of rain it's to do more with geography than actual chances of rain. Interesting! And the sugar gliders are so cute.
The straw in the tree thing is due to the speed of the straw and the extremly low air preasure in a tornado. I have also heard of this happening in hurricanes.
I love thunderstorms, but I moved from Texas to Alaska a few years ago. They're so rare here that I've only heard one in the last three years. My weirdest experience with weather was in San Antonio, TX about 4-6 years ago when it rained red mud.
The "x% chance of rain" thing always bothered me. I don't think it's the percentage lingo that bothers me that much, but the word "chance." I don't know what the solution to that problem is really, but I don't think the suggestion that ***** makes of "educating the public about percentages" is the solution. I think the reason people get upset is because we do sort of understand what "percent chance" means, but the way the guest describes the _weather forecaster_ version of percent chance is different. Maybe if they just said "x% of the area *will* get rain today" instead of saying "Our area _as a whole_ has a x% chance of rain" might help. Also: sugar gliders **SQUEE**
LawrenceDamon But that isn't what he described in the video. Or maybe he did but poorly. Or maybe he did it so well that it flew over my head yet again. If it is just a straight percentage chance per area then maybe we should just make the areas significantly smaller. I mean, we have massive super computers doing the bulk of these calculations anyway, right? I should just be able to boot up my smartphone, give a GPS location to the service and get a percentage chance for my exact location ±50 meters or so. THAT would be helpful. Cities/Counties are large places y'know? ULTRA personalized weather forecasting! This would be especially useful for people that live in FL like myself where it can literally rain on one side of the street but not another (and often does :P) I suppose that probably happens in other parts of the world too, but I have seen it be especially prominent in FL.
exactly what I thought as well. They should just be clear, and either say "about 40% of the region will get rain" or "there's a 40% chance the region will get rain". Saying it like that would be a lot clearer than "a 40% chance of rain"
***** The grid size in forecasting models are from about 10 km up. That's in Europe I don't know about USA.. Also mean wind speeds are around 20 m/s, so it is impossible to forecast on that small scale :)
0vesty Improbable, yes. Impractical, probably. But Impossible is too strong a word for the technological advancements we enjoy on a daily basis. One day it may totally be possible, we might have a cluster of nano computers following the water cycle around the earth reporting and predicting all the weather patterns down to how big the drops are going to be. :) #SciFiBookIdeas
Does anyone else think it is a bit insensitive that people in Illinois JUST lost everything they own to a tornado, and we have this guy here talking about how much he loves tornadoes?
Another term they could substitute for percentage is percent area coverage of sq. (km/mi). or just area coverage. Until watching this video, I never knew what the percentage actually meant.
I miss a little trumpet sound every time i see the two horns with the banners saying special guest, especially because of the notes coming out from them! Please find a little horn sound that would fit so my brain will stop nagging me about there being no sound.
w00t Kansas! In my 19 years here, I've only been in the area of 1 tornado, and it picked up right above my town and set back down on the other side of the city. ( and that 1991 tornado destroyed my town)
I've seen hundreds of tornadoes and some alarmingly close (including being _IN_ one). However, these were over water in the North Atlantic so the vast majority were classified as water spouts. The one that plowed over us was pretty big. Everything turned completely white and it seemed a little difficult to breath. It was a rather quick and uneventful affair but surreal all the same.
My old roommate had a sugar glider when we lived together, and she wasn't well taken care of. She often barked at night and suffered from depression. And, yeah, there was pee everywhere. Though she was cute, it wasn't worth it.
Wow, you have the coolest weatherman! He was so laidback & easygoing. I really liked him as a guest. (I was kind expecting more of a Ron Burgandy... ha. Glad I was so wrong.)
And I always like seeing how the guests interact with Jessi's animals after their interviews. Sometimes people are really serious, and then Jessi brings out animals and you can see the other guest melt into their private (cute) persona. Just makes me feel good to see.
In Dallas-Fort Worth a 40 percent chance of rain usually means there is a 40 percent chance it will rain everywhere. In El Paso a 40 percent chance of rain means it will rain. You have a 40 percent chance of it raining where you are.
So basically, he early episodes of SciShow Talk Show were training Hank up to be a dad by getting him used to handling tiny creatures that mess a lot. Also, first.
The area where I live is right where the tornado dropped out of the sky and started it's path through our town, the one lucky thing is noone died from it.
I am right now sitting in my house where the power was turned back on 10 minutes ago because our area and this house where hit by a F3 tornado. It lifted the roof off the house and moved it about 4 inches, destroyed to nothingness the backroom we had put on, broke most every window in the house and has made it virtually unlivable and was a terrifying experience!

Mark was a great guest. These talk shows are probably my favourite of the channel. He seems really passionate in his work.
@Hank I'm a huge fan of SciShow and have been following you since the beginning. I want to point something out: Watch Mark. Watch his on camera body language. Notice his makeup.

I'm not saying you are bad - far from it. This is just a great learning opportunity.
Now I have to go back and re-watch the video to notice this, Mark was _so_ natural with it that I didn't notice it the first time. :P
I am glad somebody have noticed it. The whole time I was sitting there thinking to myself "Wow, this guy makes such a great impression, it is surreal.". By the way, the way Hank's Adam's apple goes up and down every 2 or so seconds, makes my think he noticed it as well:)

I love how the sci show community would rather watch the video than comment for the most part. Keep it up sci show!

One of the best scishow talk shows so far. Keep at it and they'll get even better. Thanks Hank
I think Mark needs to come back again. This guy's awesome

I love the SciShow Talk Show, Hank. So interesting and fun and informative. Keep 'em coming!
Sci Show Talk Show is definitely my favorite show on TH-cam. There's always something interesting and usually a cute animal.
Mark was an amazing guest, and so much fun to watch!! Definitely more Mark Heyka in the future please!!!
This episode was awesome! But you should totally do another episode focused on that guys awesome memory of dates! Test him on it with events from the news or something to that effect! Keep up the great work!

i really liked the guest this episode he was very insightful
SciShow Talk Show always makes me happy and I learn so much. Keep up the good work guys!
This topic is very appropriate, especially since what just happened in my home town. Thank you all of Sci Show
Great video and it was awesome to see someone who went to Washburn University (where Mark Heyka got a broadcasting journalism degree and where I'm currently studying) on SciShow. Topeka, Kansas being represented well :)
I'm really glad I don't have to take care of one of those Sugar Gliders. I quite like my clothes as they are, and I also quite enjoy sleeping at night.

Wow! Well, I thank you guys for all your hard work and dedication to the show, and to education! :)
+icemetalpunk that is my birthday!
Cuteness Overload!!!
Also - glad to say only minor damage from our tornado last night. Power out for a bit, but we're kinda used to it.
best guest yet on scishow. Keep it up, good work.
Move to Southern Kentucky. Three or four Tornadoes a year. Around 15-25 Thunderstorms a year. Usually about 25 inches of snow a year total. Around 102F highs in the summer. Its crazy.
I LOVE the animal guests in the talk shows!! :)
how adorable are those big eyed mamals? So cute
Jessi from animal wonders. I love her.
Hank's love of animals is just so precious!

That reminds me of an xkcd comic: xkcd.com/611/
hehe...
We had a hurricane party during Hurricane Bob in Rhode Island. I was outside making home made potato chips dodging limbs. Fun times.
I looked it up and the weather was indeed nice that entire week.
"banks are pretty sturdy"
looks at him: "very good".
lol so demeaning
Being from Missoula MT (where Heyka does the weather) and a subscriber to SciShow, I was stoked to see this episode. Mark Heyka is a mother#$%&!@# weather genius and a good dude. Hank, you were pretty cool before but you gained two notches on the awesome scale with this one.
The thing with tornadoes is that all you can do is wait until it all... blows over!
I had a mudskipper that loved mealworms. One thing I liked to tell people at the time was "I'm taking my fish for a walk." I'll never have another mudskipper unless they figure out how to breed them in captivity. They do make very engaging pets.

You should read Darkwing by Kenneth Oppel - it's a novel with that exact premise.
Tornado episode. Right after a tornado outbreak in the central US. Brilliant.
if everyone that is subscribed to sci show went to subbable and donated $0.25 a month. sci show would get OVER $250,000! Imagine what they could do with that!
Hey Scishow! Another lovely production! :)
Woah...you filmed this on September 20th! That's a pretty big time gap between then and when you release the videos....huh.

Videos about breaking news take priority over interviews.
Most youtubers release videos days or weeks or months later from the day they made it. I'm sure he had it upload just could not see it too now.
As soon as Hank introduced him to us, I had the song stuck in my head..
Ma-ma-ma-ma
Mark Heyka
He told his for sons
Ma-ma-ma-ma
Mark Heyka
To handle for guns
Ma-ma-ma-ma
Mark Heyka
He never could cry
Ma-ma-ma-ma
Mark Heyka
But he knew how to die
My mom's friend said that "x% chance of rain" meant that its going to rain x% of the day. Pretty embarrassing really. She will never live it down.
The soft dense fur I'm guessing makes them really aerodynamic because instead of air going through between each hair follicle creating more drag, they go around the whole thing. It's like that thing with swimmers shaving everything they have or the fact that they have swimming caps. The density of the fur makes all the fur act cohesively.
Ack! Your colloquial use of theory frightens me! This is SciShow dammit! Hypothesis!
I feel like Missoula is becoming a real Sanditon. We're getting to know all of its denizens through youtube...
Tornado talk! Very relevant for this type of year!!
Great episode guys, love the show!
Hey Hank, Love the show. Long time watcher, first time typer, My question, (on behalf of my 9 year old daughter), is: Could teleportation ever be possible? My apologies if you've already covered this.
Not gonna lie, the best part of these is watching the person interviewed first awkwardly interact with the animals.
INteresting as my home town had a small tornado go through it and right by my home just yesterday in Hornsby in AUSTRALIA!
Mark was really cool. I hope you have him back!
Didn't know that when they say it's x% of rain it's to do more with geography than actual chances of rain. Interesting! And the sugar gliders are so cute.
4:27 - Mark Heyka got so excited, he blasted a fart!
I love how every time the animals come out its like my classroom in 5th grade
Love the talk shows!
The straw in the tree thing is due to the speed of the straw and the extremly low air preasure in a tornado. I have also heard of this happening in hurricanes.
RELEASE MORE SCI SHOW TALK SHOWS NOW!
I love thunderstorms, but I moved from Texas to Alaska a few years ago. They're so rare here that I've only heard one in the last three years. My weirdest experience with weather was in San Antonio, TX about 4-6 years ago when it rained red mud.
I'm from Kentucky, and in the aftermath of a tornado I once found a frog impaled through a willow tree branch.
It was hilariously sad.
YAYY!!! KANSAS!! Seriously Hank, Come to Kansas in April or May to experience what we got going on! The weather will blow your mind!!!
The "x% chance of rain" thing always bothered me. I don't think it's the percentage lingo that bothers me that much, but the word "chance." I don't know what the solution to that problem is really, but I don't think the suggestion that ***** makes of "educating the public about percentages" is the solution.

Also: sugar gliders **SQUEE**
But it doesn't mean that x% of the area will get rain. It really does mean that there is an x% chance that it will rain somewhere within the area.
LawrenceDamon But that isn't what he described in the video. Or maybe he did but poorly. Or maybe he did it so well that it flew over my head yet again.
If it is just a straight percentage chance per area then maybe we should just make the areas significantly smaller.

I love this SHOW!
I found the tornado talk really interesting, great guest!
Very well done improv with the gliders, adorable human person. Transitions between guests continue to be awkward, but they are improving.
Mark Heyka needs to tell the Mythbusters how straw is driven into trees. They busted the myth last time.
Does anyone else think it is a bit insensitive that people in Illinois JUST lost everything they own to a tornado, and we have this guy here talking about how much he loves tornadoes?
Cool show. Love it.
Another term they could substitute for percentage is percent area coverage of sq. (km/mi). or just area coverage. Until watching this video, I never knew what the percentage actually meant.
You got Mark Heyka? Awesome... showing that hometown Missoula love! KECI RULES ^_^
I miss the days long under storms back in Kansas. Here in Odessa, TX we barely get any rain.
I miss a little trumpet sound every time i see the two horns with the banners saying special guest, especially because of the notes coming out from them!
Please find a little horn sound that would fit so my brain will stop nagging me about there being no sound.
Woot Kansas! I was in the '91 tornado. Too young to remember it, but I was there. In a bathtub. With a mattress on top of it.
Those things are irresponsibly cute. Funny how everybody dressed up to just get pooped on)
w00t Kansas! In my 19 years here, I've only been in the area of 1 tornado, and it picked up right above my town and set back down on the other side of the city. ( and that 1991 tornado destroyed my town)
Mark is very entertaining, wish I'd had a teacher like him.
What the hell kind of stump Hank was that? LOL
This was the most ... Interesting interview, in the question answer aspect.
I've seen hundreds of tornadoes and some alarmingly close (including being _IN_ one). However, these were over water in the North Atlantic so the vast majority were classified as water spouts. The one that plowed over us was pretty big. Everything turned completely white and it seemed a little difficult to breath. It was a rather quick and uneventful affair but surreal all the same.
My old roommate had a sugar glider when we lived together, and she wasn't well taken care of. She often barked at night and suffered from depression. And, yeah, there was pee everywhere. Though she was cute, it wasn't worth it.
A few of my friends just lost their houses from a tornado this weekend, perfect day to release this video. Btw I live right outside of Chicago
Oh wow, missed this one. It wasn't on the helpful talk show playlist. Very cool though. Local weather guys are always fun. Marty Bass!
This episode was so much fun.
Wow, you have the coolest weatherman! He was so laidback & easygoing. I really liked him as a guest. (I was kind expecting more of a Ron Burgandy... ha. Glad I was so wrong.)
And I always like seeing how the guests interact with Jessi's animals after their interviews. Sometimes people are really serious, and then Jessi brings out animals and you can see the other guest melt into their private (cute) persona. Just makes me feel good to see.
Is "I'm covered in poop" going to be the "it still has brains on it" of SciShow? I'd be cool with it.
Just found Animal Wonders' youtube channel!
In Dallas-Fort Worth a 40 percent chance of rain usually means there is a 40 percent chance it will rain everywhere.
In El Paso a 40 percent chance of rain means it will rain. You have a 40 percent chance of it raining where you are.
I totally remember that crazy ice storm! Wild.

So basically, he early episodes of SciShow Talk Show were training Hank up to be a dad by getting him used to handling tiny creatures that mess a lot.
Also, first.
What a nice guy
The area where I live is right where the tornado dropped out of the sky and started it's path through our town, the one lucky thing is noone died from it.
wow, September 12th. it must take you guys a really long time to make these
I am right now sitting in my house where the power was turned back on 10 minutes ago because our area and this house where hit by a F3 tornado. It lifted the roof off the house and moved it about 4 inches, destroyed to nothingness the backroom we had put on, broke most every window in the house and has made it virtually unlivable and was a terrifying experience!
Not to be stalkerish or anything, but what area are you in?
Kokomo, Indiana. It's Hanks home state
Andy Calhoun I just posted some of the photos of the aftermath on my google+ page if you want to see them.
