What is said

00:00:00 — Filming on his phone: the battered old phone retires; Hank's new Motorola Droid

  • ★★ Filming on his phone, Hank shows his worn-out old phone (broken 8 button, missing pieces; it survived a pool and his car roof) and says it is retiring for recycling. — 00:00:00
  • ★★ Hank now has a Motorola Droid, with 3G, a touchscreen and a 5-megapixel camera, which came out the day before; he is stupidly excited, like Christmas morning. — 00:00:00

00:00:32 — Tour next week teased; viewer questions on This Machine Pwns n00bs: guitar pick, shipping, bundle shirts, iTunes and November 16 release, buying the CD at tour shows

  • ★ Hank says he may review the phone later. (hedged) — 00:00:32
  • ★★★ Hank says he is going on tour next week and admits it is lame that he has not talked about it yet. — 00:00:32
  • ★★ Answering whether an order gets a guitar pick, Hank says any pre-order, bundle or CD alone, gets a free signed pick. — 00:00:32
  • ★★ Hank urges pre-ordering the CD because it helps Alan at DFTBA headquarters package and ship everything on time, which makes Alan's life easier. — 00:01:01 · Alan Lastufka, DFTBA Records
  • ★★ Asked whether they ship to a viewer's country, Hank says they ship everywhere there are people. (playful) — 00:01:01 · DFTBA Records
  • ★★ Hank says small and medium album bundles are sold out, large to extra-extra-large remain, and they may reprint the shirts but have not decided. (hedged) — 00:01:31
  • ★★★ The album will be on iTunes alongside its physical release on November 16. — 00:01:31 · iTunes
  • ★★ Hank says people coming to his tour stops (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle) probably should not order the CD, since he will reach them first; they can buy it there. (hedged) — 00:02:00 · San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Oregon, Seattle

00:02:29 — Tour de Hank: Nerdfighter gatherings are some of his best days; graphic of tour stops; a video per location to come

  • ★★★ Hank says Nerdfighter gatherings have been some of the best days of his life. — 00:02:29 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★★ Hank hopes everyone near the tour stops will come and share the experience with him. (hedged) — 00:02:29
  • ★★★ Hank shows a graphic of the tour stops and says he will make a video for each location with details of the shows. — 00:02:29

00:02:58 — Song: sorry, Canada (not on the tour); sign-off

  • ★★ In a song Hank apologises to Canada: the tour is not going there because the forms and taxes make it hard; Vancouver was close but did not happen. (playful) — 00:02:58 · Canada, Seattle
