Lower-confidence wave
2011 videos did not pass the QA gate (17 %); their analysis is shown but less reliable.
The day after his birthday Hank recounts it: Helen Hunt tweeted that she had seen his videos, the IRS says he owes 2009 taxes, and Nerdfighters sent a box of gifts. The Helen Hunt news and John's missed Wednesday video mean three punishments are now owed.
