Brotherhood 2.0: January 15th

2007-01-15 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Nerdfighteria · comedy performance

Hank shows the new Brotherhood 2.0 website, postpones reading John's book-club pick, and agrees to the happy-dance project while correcting John's arithmetic to 42 clips, which he jokes answers the Hitchhiker's question of life, the universe and everything.

What is said

00:00:00 — The new Brotherhood 2.0 website at brotherhood2.com; the podcast not quite working; feeling better but with little voice

  • ★★★ Hank presents the new Brotherhood 2.0 website at brotherhood2.com and asks for suggestions or comments. — 00:00:00 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ Hank says the podcast isn't quite working yet, but they will get there. — 00:00:00 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ Hank says he is feeling better but not great; his voice is reduced to popping noises, which makes him perhaps a bass rather than his usual baritone. (playful) (hedged) — 00:00:00

00:00:38 — Now maybe a bass; buying John's book-club pick at Barnes & Noble

  • ★★ Hank went to Barnes & Noble and had to ask the clerk for 'We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed with Our Families' by its title; she called it catchy. (playful) — 00:00:38

00:01:05 — Asking for 'We wish to inform you...' by title; postponing the genocide book until about Friday; the 'agreement moment' on the happy dances

  • ★★★ Hank says the book club is still a good idea, but he must avoid John's 'genocide book' for less than a week and will probably start it for Friday. (hedged) — 00:01:05 · Nerdfighter Book Club
  • ★★★ In a 'Brotherhood 2.0 agreement moment', Hank backs John's idea of doing their happy dances for 3 minutes 30 seconds as a perfect Brotherhood 2.0 project. (hedged) — 00:01:05 · Happy dance

00:02:14 — The University of Montana calculator: 42 clips, not 70; Daniel Biss's instant correction; a personal mathematician

  • ★★★ With a calculator from the University of Montana, Hank computes 3.5 minutes times 60 seconds divided by 5 seconds per clip: 42 clips. — 00:02:14
  • ★★ Hank says John got the math very wrong, and Daniel Biss commented within seconds of the video going up to say so; he jokes about wanting a personal mathematician. (playful) — 00:02:37 · Daniel Biss

00:03:02 — 42 as the answer to life, the universe and everything; thanks for the business card ideas, to be discussed Wednesday; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank thanks viewers for the number and quality of misprinted business card utilization ideas and says he will discuss them on Wednesday. — 00:03:02

Humor (significant)

  • Hank has to ask the bookstore clerk aloud for 'We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families'. — 00:01:05 > «And she said, that's catchy.»
  • Daniel Biss corrected John's math within seconds of the video going up. — 00:02:37 > «It must be very convenient to have your own personal mathematician. I gotta get me one of those.»
  • Since the answer to life, the universe and everything is 42, Hank deduces the ultimate question. — 00:03:02 > «So the question must be, how many Happy Dance clips does it take to fill up a Brotherhood 2.0 segment?»
