I spent $2M on a YouTube science fair: William Osman interview 

i thought he was going to say next "we do this because it's hard" but i like his answer way more

@@Monstufpud Pretty sure its in jest to JFK's speech going to the moon "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard". Maybe not though lol, idk

​@@Its2for1it's not it's classic will and his crew. If you watch his 2nd channel you can tell William is more of a fuck it let's do it what could go wrong. Then followed by an oh fuck it went wrong so lets salvage this

typical engineering moment

It's the retrospective equivalent of Top Gear's "how hard could it be?"

i've how had william + allen + nigel on this pod!!! that's three members of safety third haha

@@trykarat kevin still to go

Allen had a bit of a glowup

Interesting... The vibe I always got from him was that he's the one youtuber in the "joke engineer" space that isn't primarily a comedian/content creator He's similar to Stuff Made Here in that when he builds random bullshit the final "product" isn't the only thing that matters, he feels it's important to do some things "properly": like insisting on making his cad stuff modular. He kinda makes joke stuff as if it wasn't a joke It makes sense that on the MrBeast thing he was the who took up the challenge: it was for content, but it wasn't a joke, it was an industry-level engineering challenge It's also why he kinda had to be the one to create open sauce: it's an actual event, not a joke

@@jogadorjnc I feel he's more similar to "I Did A Thing", as that guy does silly things that make no sense. Shane "Stuff Made Here" is like pro-tier level stuff, William "damn I need a part, lets go to Home Depot", Shane "Well let me fabricate the piece on my CNC machine".

It take a perfomance effort to be a clown

haha i'm so glad no additional holes were introduced - but yes you made something really cool & fun and thank you!!!!

@@trykarat thanks for the kind words and the interview! You asked all the questions I was itching to know while at the event. Will definitely checkout your catalog after this and see what else you got.

The video I took of my buddy playing your game is one of my core memories from last month! Thanks for bringing it!

@@chrisclark3098 wow thank you so much! That means so much to me, it really does 😁

My family had a great time at your booth. It was 100% a highlight for us. So glad you were there!

yess!! i think i've always struggled on - hey is this good enough? - vs i'm shit, i make shitty things, and that's okay so go and make more shitty things

yea i wasn't sure if the right audience would find this video so i figured i'd add him for broader appeal - now i feel a bit stupid haha

I'm that rare cross over, and his friends pointed that out and laughed at him

yea i tried to find a better photo of him to use (this one is from his I made a baby video) - but was hard haha

does it count if he laundered his money and washed it all away into opensauce

​​@@trykarattbf every thumbnail on his own channel is him looking very guilty of countless crimes. He's a menace and that's why we love him so...

This is my favorite arc of RU-vid ever. Their house burning down, moving in with Michael Reeves and both of them benefiting personally and professionally from each other.

It was a small stuffy bar area where we filmed haha

@@trykarat figured they just had the air off and the height.

There were a few areas at Cow Palace that really felt as damp and stuffy as the brutalist exterior looked!

Too real. My life’s goal is building stuff that doesn’t make people go fuck you haha To William’s point- we are all shitty people making shitty things - but the difference is how you act when you’re called out on mistakes - and when you go to a company and say hey xyz doesn’t work and their reply is it’s *your* fault- the only answer they deserve is fuck you

​@@trykarat I don't quite get your value proposition. What differentiates your bank from DB or BPN?

@@petermuller608not a bank- we partner w financial institutions to help them understand creators and give them better terms For example- a lot of RU-vidrs with millions of followers can only get $10k limits on their credit cards because banks don’t understand them- so we come in and underwrite them properly to give them higher limits Example from this pod- William mentions how American Express fucked him - that’s why we came in to help

Yea! This was literally filmed at open sauce ☺️

*the backdoor scientist

Awww thank you 🥹

You’re right- thank you for the correction! I think I was going off my confused memory of reading The Devil and the White City by Erik Larson years ago

thanks for sharing

Robotics?

@@themanhimself3yea

You can do anything with cable ties

That bombing may have directly caused open sauce. They knew that wasn't going to work and changed.

That was also very very early on like back before they were even doing things in person ever if I'm remembering right, by the time of open sauce there was a lot more followers of the channel but early on they barely ever remembered to mention the channel existed

Awww thank you! You may also like the ones with Allen Pan and NileRed

I volunteered on the wrap up and will do next year as well. It's pretty cool to see the behind the scene and they def needed the help with all the moving parts. So def do it!

it just started to - for the first day, like 100 people watched it and i just felt I had let william down ☠

@@trykarat I'm here for it

​@trykarat yeah it just popped up on my algorithm too, fuckin love will Never seen you before but I'll sub, fuck it 🫡

The mighty algorithm has finally brought me here. Great interview!

i keep seeing you in comment sections of everything i am watching today lmao

@@JessicaCrafternoon Im everywhereeeeeeee >:)

awww thank you!!! and yes if you're reading this - come next year

Ok

awww thank you!! goal was to give him a place to share the real details

He’s a client ☺️

@@trykaratOh nice. What do you do?

41:12 - 42:10 is pure wisdom

yea i screwed up the editing...i guess to borrow william's phrasing, i made a shitty thing (there was a lav microphone we had as backup audio that had super messy wires; I asked editor to remove it and missed that he removed the main cable too)

Yeah, the dissapearing mic cable was confusing me too.

I thought that too. He probably hasn't done the full accounting yet.

There's a bunch of different columns on an accounting spreadsheet. My guess is that a few of those are columns are what he considers as money spent and add up to 2mil, but there's probably a bunch of other costs that eat into that $200 ticket price

Taxes and other invisible costs probably

California costs

it gets faster proportionally as riding a slow river into rapids that accelerate you more till it's over and river slows down again no longer being in venturri point also the possibility it's a waterfall and end of all but you've NEVER traveled this river before so it's a shrodingers cat 🐈 you just see both dead and alive because that's all you get nobody ever opened it up to prove 1 way or the other

yeah I'm kinda emotional about it helping that family so much and helping you, i definitely went to spread the word online about it making sure it got the reckonition it deserved... it's when i had just gotten into Mr Beast videos and was in the process of watching not just 1 but all of them all the way back and even mentions or reviews of videos i think i did that for Williams videos too but i been watching william and friends content for far longer than just 2009 ❤ also spent minimum 3000$ to 4k on 2024 open sauce being 1st real vacation like out of state in 3 years saving up for it only twitchcon 18 /19 missed 17 to family stuff or had everything planned to be there and was gonna do annual 1week vacations for mental health but yeah mom dying 2020 and she was the one bailing me out of poor money choices 2019 ... i guess I'm getting better at planning my own travel idk still kinda winging it and loosing money 🤑 💰💰 along the way but the experience i hope I'm learning along the way 2019 taught me about fake friends which made really real friends stand out like blinding red reflective paint on a bridge 🌉 out last chance to ditch sign 🛑 like in the movies this time i forgot what I'd learned because 3 years hiatus from Caring about myself only going after money alone which i tried my best to hold on to friends during that and even slightly attend family functions if they existed but some stuff clashed timing as were planned in separate places same time frames like black in 2017 , well quitting my job a month before OpenSauce just to be sure i could be there and network with friends or make friends probably not the best idea but also i wouldn't trade it to have the money back to have not gone and still escaping a job that didn't pay well for the job but payed well for the area but at the expense of being treated oh not too great at times but for moments treated fair, anyways I Will do my best to continue the heartbeat of the community because we're all for your dream being something we all can enjoy (he said wearing his OpenSauce T-shirt from cat wearhouse and cool patch and with the signed stuff i got there) that maybe wore in public today ❤

okay i know i already liked the video but now that I've treated it as a stream and commented on it I'm double checking to be sure i liked it and also(❤ LIKE) here in the comments because it speaks to me

The Midwest is always cheap

I feel like he would save a ton of money too. Space in California is very expensive.

good eye! we originally had the reflection in but it was super distracting - like you couldn't even focus on William because it looked like he was being interviewed by 2 of me. not sure this is better but was trying to improve it

@@trykarat ahh ok. i was half expecting it to be some weird invention from the con not taken down yet lol. it popping in and out wasn't too distracting though so probably a good choice 👍

yea someone built a gambling app where you deposited money - and they partnered with a shitty company that went bankrupt and lost track of where the money was. Honestly stupid shit and yes - we're working on something different with legitimate partners. eg our first product is partnered with Visa and Stripe

@@trykaratAfter re-reading my comment I believe it came out sounding like I was shitting on your project. Im sorry really. That was not my intention at all. I do believe this is something really cool. I just wanted to ask a question about a similar product I saw somewhere In another video. This is the first video that appeared on my recommended from you and I really like how you express yourself and the way you interview flows amazing and you seem like a really cool genuine guy. I hope everything you aspire to do or be goes great man.

Oh all good- I didn’t take it that way at all! Reality is we’re trying to build something difficult and it’s 100% good and fair to call out potential challenges and hold us accountable Appreciate the kind words. I’m just glad I get to do this and work w creators like William. Thank you for watching!!

good catch! to william's point - i definitely made a mistake here and made a shitty thing so we filmed this in this little bar area looking over open sauce and filming logistics were hard. the glitch is because the camera angle was wrong and i was allllll the way on one side of the frame and we had to add background back so i looked centered

@@trykarat hey! EMBRACE THE SHIT! I’m 48 minutes in and hadn’t heard of you before, but this is a great interview. So while there might be “shit post production”, I’m sad to say that this interview is not shit. GREAT JOB!

@@Spaghettaboutit AWWW THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT not going to lie i've been feeling pretty shitty waking up this morning and seeing 50 people notice my editing mistakes

@@trykarat don’t fret about it! It took me 38 minutes while watching it on my very large TV before I noticed. You should do more weird editing “mistakes” in future videos for engagement. I don’t know if I was going to comment had I not seen that. I mean I am enjoying the video, I gave it a thumbs up, but I’m watching on my TV and it takes too much effort to say, “Good video!” on my phone and it also doesn’t feel like I’m adding anything of worth (creatively at least). That being said, I very much enjoyed that you clearly are a fan of his and that you were able to ask questions that I would have wanted to ask. This is not a shallow, surface level interview.

yea i'm sorry about that - there's an additional lav microphone we added as backup audio and it had a bunch of wires that made it messy - I asked my editor to clean it up and missed that we also removed the main microphone cable ☠ for the reflection - we had it in originally but it was *super* distracting - like imagine trying to watch William....but you can't because you're mainly just seeing two of me

@@trykarat Nothing to apologize for, I just thought it looked really odd. Great interview! Have a good rest of your day

​@@insu_na awww thank you- that's kind of you to say! i'm still a new creator so learning from each mistake

I screwed up- we had lav microphones as backup mics and they had a ton of wires so I wanted to edit it out; didn’t realize we also edited out the main cable ☠️

@trykarat XLRs don't bug me none. you did a great interview here! You got some great stuff outta willie

@@elbowache awww- thank you!! and yea learning for next time - i'm glad my editing mistakes didn't distract from William being a great guest

it's when you see will not fucking around - you know it's really serious. as patrick rothfuss says: "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."

yes ludwig from video games himself

Kevin has his own channel; The Backyard Scientist. Pretty sure they live together and collab a lot now; I know Kevin used to be based in Florida but that seems to have changed. If you're into wild experiments/tech/chaos, definitely check him out!

​​@@dimitriputney5835I think it was more of a Kevin: "Jesus flying out here is way to expensive" and will going "well we do have property wanna live here?" Because they were collabing all the time and flying from Florida to California would be too expensive after a while, plus hanging out with friends on a bit of land fucking around would be great on it's own

Kevin has his own channel, for the longest time he was significantly bigger than William lol
