Guys. This one was a monster, post-production-wise, but I'm so happy with the result. There's techy talk, pop culture nostalgia, humor and a fun guest cameo!

This might officially be my personal favorite episode to date. I feel like I say that every time, do I say that every time? Sorry, I went to sleep at 3:30AM last night, I'll shut up now.


Please tell me what you think (and if there are any typos ;/)


It goes live this afternoon, 3PM EST!

And the world is just a little bit less of a creepy place now thanks to Cap D.

Hehe, nice and relaxed, and good goddamn that conversation was awkward. And very much the right kind of awkward, I did actually laugh out loud at the face you pulled when you hung up XD Though too bad the mystery wasn't really solved in a more... perfect or detailed way... but yeah, there's no such thing as flying girls anyway.

Love the cultural references, it plays a huge part in what motivates people to do what they do, The kid floating seems random to us in the USA but as pointed out has a much deeper meaning in Russia. As always well done and entertaining.

Bravo yet again, Cap'n D! Hey - I want to feature you in a post on my site (GeekDad.com) - do you have any favorite episodes that are family-friendly I could include?

I think I saw a ghost at 4.53. 👻

I don't speak no Russian, but the video seems typo-free. Amazing, fun, creative, insightful, etc. as usual, bro. GREAT MOVES, KEEP IT UP.

Nice! You keep getting better and better. I just hope that exposing the conspiracy that Russian 70's television is the source of Steven Spielberg's inspiration does not ruin your career. If need be, I can offer you a position in small business accounting...How does Captain P/L (Profit and Loss) sound?

Using your roots to give in-depth background on a video... that's awesome. Maybe next time you debunk a Slavic video, you can sprinkle in a Citizen Mavzik reference! Bonus points for my favorite line: "like some on YouTube have already done. BUT BETTER."

Well done. I love the blast from the Russian TV past. I'm impressed at how good the quality of the video appears to be from 20 years ago.

I love the cut from zen-kaleidoscope to kremlin, and the "Ahhhhh!".

You are the best!

That's actually Saint Basil's Cathedral, located right next to the Kremlin on Red Square - common misconception ;)

CaptainDisillusion

Lol, thanks. The "check ya later" was an on-set suggestion from the camera guy - an homage to the movie Dazed and Confused :)

CaptainDisillusion

Indeed! I had to download the whole series to put together the montage and now I kinda want to rewatch the whole thing.

Thanks! Sorry for taking so long to reply. Anything 'Quick D' should be ok. (Unless occasional bleeped comedic cursing disqualifies :|)
