See the Taco Bell ice cream taco? I did.
The churro taco. Like a choco taco. They're doing... I know. I'm so excited. Choco taco is the best packaged ice cream treat possible.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:08)
I was going to extreme taco. That's a big claim. The best packaged ice cream.
**Andrew Manganelli** (1:11)
I think it's true.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:17)
Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques.
**Andrew Manganelli** (1:22)
I'm Andrew.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:22)
I'm David. We've got a little bit to talk about this week, the first week of September. And I kind of think of it as like a ramp. Like we're going to ramp up into way more stuff in September. But we still have a good amount. We're going to talk a little bit more about engaged views and how our opinions might have changed about that since last week.
Some thoughts on this whole GoPro situation, a new Google Find Hub feature that's actually useful, and a Dyson toothbrush that might not be as useful. And then at the end, we're going to end with a little bit of a show and tell, which should be a good time. Mine's in a briefcase, by the way.
**Andrew Manganelli** (1:55)
Mine kind of is in a briefcase, too.
**David Imel** (1:57)
Yeah, it'll be good. Nice.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:58)
Where can I find a briefcase?
It came with the thing I bought, actually. We'll get there. But first, did they even test this? Do we have any? Can I go again? Yes, of course.

This is turning into YouTube is screwing with Andrew. I cannot assume anything else is going wrong other than they are personally attacking me. But I've showed you all this. For whatever reason, in my YouTube app right now, and I have closed the app, I've restarted my phone, I've done all the things you're supposed to do. But anytime you click on a video, it is now in half dark mode, half light mode, where all of the video and description and comments are in dark mode, but all of the recommended are in light mode underneath.
And even when I close it...
**Marques Brownlee** (2:45)
Your whole system is in light mode.
**Andrew Manganelli** (2:46)
My whole system is in light mode.
Like this is the homepage of YouTube, right? It's in total light mode. Then I click on a long form video and now the comments are dark mode.
**Marques Brownlee** (2:57)
And then the related videos underneath that are still light mode. You're YouTube app.
I've never seen that stuff. There's some weird feature flags going on in your YouTube, bro.
**Andrew Manganelli** (3:07)
I have to only assume that someone's screwing with me at this point. They're like, I bet I could get Andrew to mention this on the podcast next week.
**Marques Brownlee** (3:14)
Yeah, you're welcome. I did.
**Adam Allina** (3:17)
I really would love if there's like an internal YouTube leaderboard for how many times you could get Andrew to shout out your product.
**Andrew Manganelli** (3:23)
I don't know if it's shouting out in the, did they even test this feature?
**Marques Brownlee** (3:27)
That's what they say, you're talking about YouTube every single day.
**Andrew Manganelli** (3:31)
Well, we're gonna keep talking about YouTube.
**Marques Brownlee** (3:33)
That's right. Yeah. Okay, so remember last week we went over, I presented some numbers for you guys with video. I said, you should guess the difference between engaged views and publicly counted views of a recently uploaded MKBHD video. And do you remember what happened last week? It was like 40k, like a million and a half view video had like a 40,000 view difference between public and engaged.
