Sinopse

Fanboy alert: Today's guest, Mr. Demaio, is the biggest celebrity in my household. He's a teacher in Union Beach New Jersey, and one of the most popular educators on YouTube.  Here's a link to his channel. He makes hilarious YouTube videos on topics such as the planets, black holes, Alexander Hamilton, snakes, earthquakes, the Titanic, multiplication tables and more. It's like if Khan Academy was funny, with weird puppets-- or as he noted, Mr. Rogers meets the Chapelle Show. While his videos are funny, their impact is no joke. Which is why he gets over 2 million views per month.  And if you type in "Mr." into YouTube, he's one of the first things that comes up. My wife and I first learned of Mr. Demaio when our four year-old son, Max, somehow stumbled upon him while scrolling through my wife's iPad. He'd start talking about Mr. Demaio and his puppets, Andy and Steve. More impressively, he'd start educating us about outer space. He was literally teaching us new things that he learned from Mr. Demaio's videos--
