SHANE SMITH: Hi, I'm Shane Smith.
And we're here in the Vice offices in Brooklyn, New York.
As a thank you for hitting 1 million subscribers on our
Vice YouTube channel, we wanted to take you in, show
you around, on how we hit that million.
So come on, let's go inside.
In here is editorial, where people write all the stuff and
come up with all the stories.
This Alex Pasternack, who runs Motherboard.
What stories are you working on?
ALEX PASTERNACK: We're doing something right now about 3D
printed guns.
SHANE SMITH: 3D printed guns?
Do they work?
Can you shoot them?
[HIGH-PITCHED SHOTS]
ALEX PASTERNACK: Yeah, they sure do.
SHANE SMITH: 3D printed guns, it's the future.
So this is all the writing, editorial.
And then we go through here.
These are all edit suites, where we edit all the stories.
What are you working on?
TRAVIS WOOD: Working on a Fringes episode.
It's called Gaddafi Wiki.
SHANE SMITH: Fringes is a series on?
YouTube.
Corruption, dictators, Muammar Gaddafi, you're going to watch
it on YouTube.
Everybody editing.
That looks interesting.
I don't know what it is.
Let's go upstairs.
Hi, this is Matt Schoen.
He's our art director.
He makes us seem smart.
So now we'll go in here.
This is production.
So this is where the stories, like scopolamine, which is the
"World's Scariest Drug", or the world's freakiest drug,
snake venom, or cannibals, interview with a cannibal, or
when I went to Liberia to hang out with cannibal warlords,
any of that stuff, it happens here.
These are the producers that come up with the ideas and
deal with the red tape to get us in.
And this year, we will be working on stories coming out
of Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, South America, West Africa.
We have a lot of breaking news stories, a lot
of interesting stuff.
We wanted to say, thank you from Vice
for the first million.
On the second million, I'll do the whole tour naked.
Thank you very much, 1 million subs.
Stay tuned, the best is yet to come.
***-o.
