a child of the brothers's Pee and My Gut

2010-02-19 · John · watch on YouTube · Personal life · personal update

John argues, half-jokingly, against 'going with your gut': his gut told him to catch a child of the brothers's pee in his hands and otherwise only says 'eat', while his brain has him on a cleanse that has cost him 12 pounds.

00:01:13 — The nerd brain's better solution; the gut only says eat; Hank and Nerdfighters failed to tell John he got fat (Barenaked Ladies, smart uncle / hot cousin); weight at the doctor; cleanse

Humor (significant)

  • Holding two handfuls of urine, John screams for Sarah, who tells him to drop it. — 00:00:28 > «At which point, I basically drop poor a child of the brothers.»
  • A comment calls John the smart uncle and Hank the hot cousin; John gives Nerdfighters advice. — 00:01:43 > «Your relationship with your smart uncle and your hot cousin should be the same. Platonic.»
  • John asks whether his 12-pound loss shows in his face. — 00:02:22 > «And I could lose another two pounds just by getting a haircut.»
  • His gut wants to eat everything in sight, including a toy. — 00:02:22 > «my brain knows that I can't eat this My Little Pony, even though it would be delicious»
