2007-06-20 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Personal life · personal update

What is said

00:00:00 — 'I'm back in the basement again' song; a nest for hot days

  • ★ Hank sings that he is back in the basement, where he has made a comfortable nest to retreat to when it is too hot outside. (playful) — 00:00:15

00:00:39 — John leaving his house and studio; backgrounds of their videos; Hank's ideas for new filming locations and call for suggestions

  • ★★ Hank does not envy John having to move out of his house and leave his little studio, and wonders what will be in the background of John's new videos. — 00:00:39 · John Green
  • ★★ Suggesting viewers may like a change of setting, Hank floats filming in his bedroom, with the cat, at the Missoula skate park, downtown Missoula or Target, and asks for suggestions. (playful) (hedged) — 00:00:50 · Brotherhood 2.0, Missoula, Montana, Target Corporation
  • ★ Hank says people were once impressed by the map of Narnia and floating bookshelves behind him, but nobody talks about them anymore. (playful) — 00:00:53

00:01:15 — News: something Hank wrote is published; imagined fame at Barnes & Noble

  • ★★★ Hank's news (shown on screen): something he wrote is in print, so he can go to Barnes & Noble and say he wrote it; the description ties it to Mental Floss. (playful) — 00:01:15

00:01:38 — A stranger asks about his Brotherhood 2.0 'In my pants' shirt; idea of asking people about their t-shirts

  • ★★ A woman came up and asked Hank about his Brotherhood 2.0 'In my pants' shirt, which he found brave, since he rarely asks strangers about their t-shirts. — 00:01:38 · Brotherhood 2.0, in your pants
  • ★★ Hank floats a project idea: asking people about their t-shirts, since talking to strangers is fun. (playful) — 00:01:53

00:02:18 — Hank's first national TV appearance on the Weather Channel's Forecast Earth

  • ★★★ Hank appeared on The Weather Channel's Forecast Earth in an episode about heat that starts with John Kerry; it was his first national TV appearance and he thinks Brotherhood 2.0 was mentioned. (hedged) — 00:02:19 · Brotherhood 2.0

00:02:56 — The Yeti and John in the moving truck; good-luck wishes for the move to Indianapolis; thanks for John's video; sign-off

Humor (significant)

  • Hank opens by singing a little song about being back in his basement studio. — 00:00:21 > «I'm mostly underground, and you can't hear a sound 'cause I'm back in the basement again!»
  • Hank imagines people at Barnes & Noble gasping that he is famous for what he wrote. — 00:01:30 > «"You don't know the half of it."»
  • Talking to strangers about their t-shirts is fun, unless the shirt forbids it. — 00:02:10 > «Don't talk to me about my t-shirt or I will put forks in you.»
  • Hank tries to remember the Forecast Earth episode title, which was something about heat. — 00:02:36 > «Space heater? Probably not.»
