Lower-confidence wave

2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.

In a Question Tuesday on a Friday, John answers viewers' questions, many about channel lore new viewers find confusing (who Hank is, Peanut Butter Face, "in your pants"), mostly with jokes, while wearing peanut butter on his face.
