S: Hey, everyone! I hope y'all having a great day, and today I have a special
guest joining me.
D: I'm Doug
S: Yeah, so this is my friend Doug.
S: He and I have known each
other since kindergarten, and he's been in a couple of videos
before, but those are from, like, three years ago.
D: Only the real fans know. S: I know.
And so, here we are again, reunited, to do a book challenge.
S: Called?
D: Five seconds of summaries? S: I su--I'm so bad at this. Okay.
S: I was-- D: It's so snappy. S: It really is.
S: I was tagged in this challenge by Maddie and Gabby from twobookteens,
so thank you guys so much for tagging me. It's called:
Five Seconds of Book Summaries. Or--Five Seconds of Summaries. Or--Five sfds.
D: I don't--you said Five Seconds of Summaries. S: Okay.
S: Five Seconds of Summaries. D: You can do either/or.
S: Or Five Seconds of Book Summaries. Oh lord. Okay. D: Choose your fighter.
S: Yeah, it's inspired by a video that Jimmy Fallon did with Andy Samberg,
AKA the love of my life, where they kind of have
to summarize movie titles to each other in 5 seconds or less, and then
they decrease the time to 3 seconds and then to 1 second. It's one of those
competitions where no one really wins unless there are, like, different pairs of
teams, but there are just two of us, so we're all winners. So we have looked at
the list of books. We--I tried to choose books that we both are familiar with or
that we've both read, and so we both have like kind of a word bank in our minds
going on. 5 seconds on the clock. Do you wanna go first? D: Sure.
S: We're gonna do three books per time... D: And then I--okay. S: ...restraint.
D: How many are there? S: Twenty? I think there are twenty.
S: So there are two that we won't use. D: Oh.
S: Are you excited? D: I'm pumped.
S: Are you gonna do well? D: I'm gonna kill this.
S: Okay, we're both--we're both-- D: We're gonna crush it. S: We're both--
S: We're both r-- D: R-- (senseless laughter)
D: Competitive.
S: We're both competi--I was gonna say: We're both really good at Taboo.
S: Oh, that reminds me--RULES.
We're not gonna say any character names or any author names, because I
think that'd be too easy. We could say anything else about the book.
S: Okay. Ready? I'll start when you're-- D: I'm kinda nervous. S: --when you get the card.
S: Go!
D: Uh--uh--there's a murder--and it's a boy. S: (obnoxious laughter)
D: And it's an animal.
S: That was good. Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.
D: I was gonna say dog, but it's in the title.
S: Oh, yeah, you can't say words in the title. D: Threw me off.
S: That was good. Okay. We got one.
S: We collectively got one. D: Crushed it. S: That was good.
S: Do we wanna trade? D: Uh, yeah.
S: I'm scared. 'Kay. D: You got this.
S: COLOR--APPLE-THROW.
D: The Giver?
D: I remember nothing from that book. I think you just, like, unearthed something.
S: I had so much more time to give better words.
D: It's hard under pressure.
S: "Color apple throw." Killed it. Okay.
S: I'm illiterate. Okay, ready?
D: Uh, okay, so there's two guys
and a girl, and there-- S: Twilight. D--are vampires, yeah.
S: Killed it. D: Should've just started with vampire, I don't...
S: I feel like I wanna shuffle these, just in case one of my favorite books is the bottom
one, you know? I want to give it a shot. D: Yeah.
S: (the laughter of failure) Dammit--VOMIT. She keeps the vomit
in the toilet. (nonsensical noise)
D: Uh...
S: I'm so sorry.
D: I have no idea. I feel like I should remember that?
S: I'm so sad, because I was like, "Dude, we're so good at Taboo,"
and the people watching this are gonna be like, "Sophia doesn't know anything."
D: Do I guess? S: Yeah, you can guess.
D: Uglies. S: No.
S: It was Gone Girl. D: Oh, man.
S: She kept... D: Yeah... S: Didn't she keep her, like, neighbor's vomit
or something? D: She did all sorts of stuff.
S: Or the neighbor's pee? D: She was wildin'.
There were so many better things I could have said, but the first thing that came to my mind was
Gillian Flynn and I couldn't think of anything else except for Gillian Flynn.
I promise I'm better at Taboo.
D: Yeah, this one we're gonna... S: Okay, go.
D: Um, so there's two kids. One of them's a redhead... I think?
S: (insane laughter)
S: I like the--the certainty. Um, I feel just about as certain in my guess
as you were about this kid's hair.
Okay, I'm just gonna throw out a guess...
But I don't have a guess...
Who's a redhead... I think...
D: I'm, like, fairly confident. S: I'm really failing you here.
D: Do you have a guess? S: I've failed you multiple times.
S: I'm gonna guess City of Bones. D: No... it's Eleanor and Park.
S: OHMYGOD. D: Is she a redhead?
S: Yeah, she is a redhead. D: Okay, I didn't finish that book. I just remember the cover.
S: Ready?
S: Burning books. D: Oh, uh, Fahrenheit 451.
S: Yeah, fantastic.
That was the end of the 5 Second Round. Stakes are getting higher...
D: That was too easy. We did--clearly did too well on that round. S: Clearly demolished it.
Now we have 3 seconds on the clock. Okay.
S: Doug, make us proud. D: Oh boy. 3 seconds, okay.
D: Uh. Uh. There's a trial and--
S: To Kill a Mockingbird. D: Yes.
D: I literally was just like--"mockingbird." Not even.
S: All right, okay. Ready?
S: Uh, hoverboards. Plastic surgery.
D: Uglies. S: Uglies. Yeah.
S: Okay. D: Oh boy. S: Go.
D: Uh... it's in space?
S: Ender's Game. D: Yeah.
S: "It's in space." D: Yeah, I haven't seen this. Or read it.
S: Ready? My favorite book.
D: Divergent. S: Killed it. Killed it. D: Too easy.
S: I don't think it's my favorite book anymore. D: (scandalous gasp)
S: but I feel like it's just such an iconic part of me, I can't let it go.
D: Something replaced it? S: Oh, I don't think anything replaced it. D: Or just like?
S: I just feel like I've grown out of-- D: Yeah. S: --that phase in my life.
S: I still like it though. It's still in my YouTube profile picture, I think, so.
D: You still have, like, 18 copies, so. S: Yeah, that's true.
S: 'Kay.
D: Uh... there's... dying kids.
D: Oh, you know what? That's, like, a lot more books than I realized.
S: Lord of the Flies? D: Oooh, no. S: No??
D: It's TFIOS. S: DANG IT, DOUG.
D: I thought that was so good and then I remembered-- S: "Dying kids." D: That's like almost every YA book.
S: Is this the last one for 3 seconds? D: Yeah.
S: We're crushing it. Okay.
S: The one... Pig's head on a stick. D: Oh, Lord of the Flies.
S: I was gonna say, "The one I just said."
S: So... D: This... Oh lord.
S: We obviously have been killing this game up until now. And we've done the 5
round--a 5 Second Round and a 3 Second Round and now we're upping the
stakes even higher to 1 second. D: Wooo. S: 1 second summaries of these books
S: Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? D: I was born ready.
S: Go.
D: Uh--d--
S: (witch cackling)
D: Wow, that was brutal.
D: Wooooo.
S: Um... D: Any guesses?
S: Um. I'm gonna guess just based off my--the memory
I have of the book bank. Pride and Prejudice.
D: No. It was The Great Gatsby.
S: Okay, well, we were in the classics genre.
D: You were not too far off... as much as I gave you.
S: Okay, why do I feel like
that's still gonna be better than... than what I'm about to give you?
S: Aaand go.
PERCY--[EXPLETIVE].
D: Hmmmmm, is it The Lightning Thief?
S: Aaaaaaaaaah. All right, let's keep going. D: We are 0 for 2.
D: You know, that was a practice round.
D: Uh... gay blackmail. S: Simon vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda!
S: Nailed it.
S: You did--that was fantastic. D: Fresh on the mind, you know? S: Yeah, it was.
D: Some of these are, like, deep cuts.
S: You suddenly put the stakes so high.
S: Uhhhhh.
D: Ummm. I'll guess. Pride and Prejudice.
S: It was The Book Thief.
D: Oh, you know what? I wouldn't have guessed that. Took me like 3 minutes.
S: For some reason, I wanted to say Hazel. But her name's not even Hazel.
D: What was it? I don't remember. S: Liesel, I think. D: Yeah yeah yeah.
S: I don't even know how to-- D: They made a movie out of that, right? S: You could--yeah, they did.
S: I watched it on a plane once and I cried.
S: I could've been--given myself 5 minutes and I still wouldn't be able to describe that one.
S: I feel so demolished by this. D: Sometimes, it's been a while.
D: It's like-- S: Yeah-- D: You have to, like, remember what it is.
S: I feel so demoralized. Okay. Ready for the last round?
D: Yeah. S: Let's go, Doug!
D: Let's finish strong. S: Go!
D: Uh--blind.
S: All the Light We Cannot See. D: Yeah.
S: Doug's crushin' it. D: Is someone blind--someone's blind, right?
S: Yeah, it's about like a... D: I just read the title.
S: ...a blind French girl and a German solider?
S: Clearly, neither of us have read the book, so, good thing it's on our pile-- D: But we still got it!
S: We still got it!
It was better than the descriptions I gave for the books that I had read, so.
S: Okay. This is our final one. Sophia, don't let yourself down.
D: End on a high note. You got this. S: Yeah. D: You have a whole second.
S: An entire second. D: You can chew on it.
D: Do some thinking. S: That's crazy. That's like 1000 milliseconds or something.
S: That's wild. D: When you put it like that, it's like too much time. S: It's an eternity.
S: Wolves!
D: Call of the Wild. S: YEAH.
S: Wow. Oh my god. D: We ended that so well.
S: That was it. That was great. D: Pulled that off. What were the last two?
S: The last two that we didn't use:
The Hunger Games and Pride and Prejudice. The iconic Pride and Prejudice.
Well. Thanks for joining us on this journey. We clearly did a fantastic job.
S: Doug's brain works a lot better than mine does. D: That isn't true. S: But I think a lot of things--
S: Everything in this video probably evidenced it. D: See: Great Gatsby. And "dying kids."
But thank you so much again to Maddie and Gabby
for tagging me in this. I think I should tag people, too, so I'm gonna tag these people here.
Thanks so much to my friend Doug for joining me in this video. He really made
it, I think. D: We made it.
D: Teamwork. S: Teamwork. D: Makes the dream work.
S: True, it's only fourteen or fifteen years in the making, so.
Well, thank you so much for watching. I hope y'all have a fantastic day
and happy reading! Bye!
Bye!
Oh, my goodness. We're so cute. We're twinning.
S: I forgot what the--the challenge was called. D: 5 Seconds of Summaries?
S: Oh, yeah. That's funny. Oh, and that's what it is.
D: I really thought I was doing something with those reviews. S: You really were.
S: You were killin' it. D: I was like, "The world is not ready."
S: Honestly, I think Kirkus needs to give you a call. D: Yeah, it's about time.
