Justin Beiber vs One Direction

Hey There CQ Fans,

Well, November is upon us.  I hope that you all had a great Halloween.  I know I did.  My daughter was a pirate and my son was a spider.  We had a great time trick or treating.  I hope you did too. 

Check out my video above.  I am reading some of your letters and answering some interesting questions that I have received recently including one about One Direction.  You know, the uber popular boy band.  Is Justin Beiber in or out?  Not sure.... what do you think?

Also watch for details on how you can help Hurricane Sandy victims by visiting the Curiosity Quest Store.  We are donating 50% of profits from all DVD sales to the American Red Cross.  All you have to do is enter the coupon code "sandy" at check out.

Lastly, I am looking for some help.  Curiosity Quest might have the opportunity to go to Hawaii to film some shows in the near future.  I know.... awesome, huh?  Well,  I need your ideas to help us come up with some creative Curiosity Quest episode ideas.   Tell me,  what would you like to learn about Hawaii?  Is there any thing that you are curious about with regards to this beautiful island state?

Danica Patrick's Race Car and Me

Hey CQ Fans!

Today is the first day in Southern California that you can catch a hint of Fall.  Personally, I love it.  I will take the cold and rain over the heat any day.  Unfortuantely, it looks like the heat will return this weekend, but in the meantime, I am going to enjoy the chill in the air.

As I have told you before, the crew and I recently went to North Carolina to film some shows.  One of the shows that we filmed was on how NASCAR's are built.   In the process of filming this show, I had the priviledge of sitting in Danica Patrick's car, or let's say, I attempted to fit in her seat.

Check out the video for a quick story about me and Danica Patrick's race car.

Question of the day:  What is your favorite Halloween Candy?    Comment below and let me know.  Mine is ..... hmmmm.....well.... ALL OF IT!!!!  I love it all.  You name it, I will eat it.  How about you?

In the meantime,

Stay Curious!

The Goat Ate What?????

Happy September to Our Wonderful CQ Fans!

I hope that the return of fall, which is nearly here, finds you all doing well.  The Curiosity Quest crew is doing great!  We are knee deep in producing our new season and having a blast while we are at it.

The end of August, brought the CQ crew to North Carolina with contest winner, Genevieve and her family to learn all about how mirrors are made. Let me tell you one thing . . . making mirrors is hot!  Really, I mean literally hot.  It was 150 degrees in the factory.  Can you imagine?  It was so hot that we worried that the cameras would melt!

While we were there in North Carolina, we decided that there were a couple of other things that we were curious too.  So we took some time to learn how NASCAR's are made and we made a stop at a goat farm to learn how to care for and raise goats!  It was awesome, but the goat did cause some damage.  I will let you watch the video I posted to find out what it ate :)

Thank you to all of you who commented on our last post to tell us what to ask while we were on these other shoots.  It was so helpful!

Comment and tell us what your favorite thing about Fall is.  Mine, is the cooler weather for sure!

In the meantime,

Stay Curious!

We Need Your Help!!!!

Hey there CQ Fans! What's Up???????

I hope things are going well with you. As I said, I am in need of your help. How you might ask?

Well, the crew and myself are heading to North Carolina with our contest winner, Genevieve, to learn how mirrors are made. We are so excited about this show and are so happy to have Genevieve and her family joining us on this awesome quest. While we are in North Carolina, we decided to do a couple of other shows as well.

Guess what we will be doing? Ok, I won't make you guess. I will just tell you.

We are going to be heading to a goat farm to learn all about goats. I don't know the first thing about these adorable animals. Do you? There is so much I would like to know about them, but I want to hear what you would like to know.  What have you always wondered about goats?  Let me know, so I can be sure to ask while I am filming the show.

Lastly, and this is a big one . . . we are going to be learning how NASCARs are built! Can you believe it? I know, me either!  We are going to learn, first hand, how these amazing vehicles are made. What do you want to know about NASCARs? What should I ask the experts? Comment below and let me know!

Thank you again for being such awesome fans. Stay tuned on Facebook to get updates about how our trip is going and for awesome giveaways.

In the meantime,

 Stay Curious!

Happy New Year!!!

Hey there CQ fans!

It has been a long time since I posted a video blog. Sorry about that! I have missed you guys.

It has been a very busy couple of months for the CQ crew. We have been hard at work preparing new shows for you. You will love them!

In the meantime, I decided to read some of my recent letters to you. I get hundreds of letters every month, so it is hard to choose just a few. But, keep writing! Maybe I will read one of your letters for my Vlog.

Thank you for being such awesome and dedicated fans! I love you guys!!!
