In this brief, high‑energy clip from Vanessa Van Edwards' YouTube video, the hosts repeatedly refresh a webpage to check the New York Times bestseller list. Upon seeing their book land at the #5 spot, they erupt in excitement, repeatedly exclaiming the achievement, noting the lucky significance of the number five, and expressing disbelief. They discuss taking screenshots of the ranking and immediately suggest throwing a party to celebrate the milestone. The exchange is informal, repetitive, and conveys genuine joy over becoming a NYT bestseller.

Okay, refresh,
refresh. This is so torture.
Okay, no, we don't care about gluten-free pasta right now. Just go to the homepage.
But the refreshing is just just torture. It's torture. It's torture. This is it.
Yep.
Yes! Number 5! 5 is my lucky number. It's meant to be.
Look at that. There it is.
Oh my gosh. Can't believe it. Amazing. Thank you. Yes.
Fantastic.
I can't believe it. All the screenshots. All the screenshots. Where's the party? Where is the party?
Go, go party. Let's go.
Let's go party. Let's go find some people to party with.
