Life on Tour

2008-11-17 · John, Maureen Johnson · watch on YouTube · Personal life · personal update

John shows a comic day in the life on tour with Hank and Katherine, from the early alarm and minivan to BlogTV broadcasts and a staged feud with Maureen Johnson in Pittsburgh, and says Nerdfighters make the tiring routine worth it.

What is said

00:00:00 — Party-blower solo; a day in the life on tour: alarm, teeth and hair, meeting Hank and Katherine, loading the minivan, driving

  • ★★★ With Hank in the next hotel room, John greets Nerdfighters and presents a day in their life on tour. — 00:00:14 · Tour de Nerdfighting, Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ The day starts with the iPhone alarm at an ungodly hour, brushing teeth while fielding questions about his hair, and meeting Hank and the Katherine in the hallway. (playful) — 00:00:14 · Hank Green, Katherine Green
  • ★ They load up the minivan and drive while 'our friend Ellen' gives directions. — 00:00:14

00:01:04 — Traffic and trying to appreciate natural beauty; broadcasting on BlogTV

  • ★★ John live-broadcasts himself on BlogTV from inside the minivan thanks to Hank's contraption. — 00:01:04 · BlogTV, Hank Green

00:01:24 — BlogTV from the minivan via Hank's contraption; Katherine and cows; arriving in Pittsburgh

  • ★ Katherine interrupts polite conversation to spot cows; John says she is very good at cows. (playful) — 00:01:24 · Katherine Green
  • ★★ They arrive in Pittsburgh, where John jokingly contemplates how he will 'pwn' Maureen Johnson. (playful) — 00:01:24 · Maureen Johnson

00:02:02 — Staged mortal-enemies scene with Maureen Johnson over Let It Snow

  • ★★ In a staged scene, Maureen Johnson says she and John are mortal enemies because wherever he goes he crosses her name out of Let It Snow; a truce is discussed. (joke) — 00:02:02 · John Green

00:02:51 — Hotel and repeat; Nerdfighters and a Culver Creek shirt make it worth it; see you in Kansas City and St. Paul

  • ★ Each day ends late at a hotel and starts early the next morning to do it all again. — 00:02:51
  • ★★ John says the routine would be tiring if Nerdfighters weren't so awesome and if he didn't keep getting amazing shirts, like a Culver Creek t-shirt with a swan. — 00:02:51 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★★ John looks forward to seeing Nerdfighters in Kansas City and St. Paul. — 00:02:51

Humor (significant)

  • Stuck in traffic, John strains to appreciate natural beauty from the minivan. — 00:01:04 > «Look, natural beauty. Stupid truck. Stupid crane.»
  • John broadcasts himself live from the minivan and watches his own stream. — 00:01:24 > «Hello, me. How are you doing? I can see my eyes in my eyes.»
  • Katherine breaks into polite conversation to ask about cows. — 00:01:24 > «She's so good at cows. They come out of nowhere. You gotta be ready.»
  • Maureen Johnson explains why she and John are mortal enemies. — 00:02:02 > «Because everywhere you go, John, you cross my name out of Let It Snow»
