What is said

00:00:00 — Opening hello by Lindsey Robertson; John late because the Yeti is away and a reading ran into dinner and drinks; eating the fridge before leaving New York

• ★★ John is very late updating because the Yeti is out of town: a reading turned into dinner, then drinks, and suddenly it was 10 o'clock. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Sarah Urist Green
• ★★ John and the Yeti agreed to eat everything in the fridge before leaving New York, so his after-dinner meal was frozen chicken vindaloo, carrots, ketchup and Italian dressing. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Sarah Urist Green, New York City

00:00:41 — Rebuttal of Hank's dismissal of Barack Obama: liquid coal conceded, but he's smart

• ★★★ John objects to Hank dissing Barack Obama as merely well-spoken and attractive, saying Brotherhood 2.0 tries to present a united front. — 00:00:41 · Barack Obama, Brotherhood 2.0
• ★★★ John asks who Hank will vote for in 2008 if not Obama; he concedes Obama has a problem with liquid coal but says others have more serious problems. — 00:00:41 · Barack Obama, United States presidential election
• ★★★ John says Obama is smart, and that, maybe biased as a nerdfighter, he values intelligence. (hedged) — 00:00:41 · Barack Obama, Nerdfighteria

00:01:15 — Thanks for Hank's Queen Ranavalona song; a commenter supplies her long first name

• ★★ John thanks Hank for the Queen Ranavalona song, which he says rocked. — 00:01:15
• ★ Thanks to a commenter, John now knows Ranavalona's long first name, and jokes about why she went by Ranavalona instead. (playful) — 00:01:15

00:01:45 — John challenges Hank to make a Brotherhood 2.0 forum; praise for Hank's songwriting challenge

• ★★★ John thinks Brotherhood 2.0 needs a forum because the comments are too many and too confused to follow, and challenges Hank to make one if viewers favour it. (hedged) — 00:01:45 · Brotherhood 2.0 forum, Brotherhood 2.0
• ★★ John praises Hank's songwriting challenge: though John threw him by skipping Memorial Day, Hank wrote the Ranavalona song in about six hours. — 00:01:45

00:02:24 — Self-proposed challenge: six ounces of yogurt in 10 seconds; yogurt on the nose; sign-off

• ★★ Complaining Hank hasn't challenged him lately, John proposes eating six ounces of yogurt (two Weight Watchers points) in 10 seconds, does it, and gets yogurt on his nose. (playful) — 00:02:24

Humor (significant)

• Bound to eat everything in the fridge before leaving New York, John describes his after-dinner meal. — 00:00:41 > «frozen chicken vindaloo, carrots, ketchup, and Italian dressing.»
• A commenter tells John Queen Ranavalona's very long first name. — 00:01:15 > «Why did you go by Rana Valona when you could have gone by Rabbo Do'Andreanum Poinyanum Patatia?»
• After speed-eating the yogurt, John finds some on his nose and can't reach it. — 00:02:24 > «I don't have one of those tongues, Hank. Do you have one of those tongues?»
