Hank, on the Florida family vacation, shares footage of the brothers answering Table Topics question cards: John has his dream job, values mutual generosity in marriage and hopes for Nerdfighteria projects; the rest is banter.

What is said

00:00:00 — Hank enjoys the family vacation in Florida and an adorable squirrel; introduces footage of the brothers playing Table Topics, not sponsored

  • ★★ John (apparently) says Table Topics did not sponsor them: they don't do product placement so viewers can know no corporation is responsible for their videos. — 00:00:00

00:00:57 — Table Topics questions: Time Lords, marriage, dream job, a question for a psychic, a party if money were no object

  • ★ Asked about a party if money were no object, Hank says he would throw VidCon. (playful) — 00:01:55 · VidCon
  • ★ John says that if money were no object he wouldn't throw a party, since he likes to be by himself with only family invited; then he jokes he'd throw one on Mars. (playful) — 00:01:55

00:02:25 — John questions Hank: athlete, world's biggest problem, boat name, land to preserve, childhood, unfinished goals, this year's goal; sign-off

Humor (significant)

  • Stressing that Table Topics did not sponsor them, the brothers claim the game belongs to an oil company. — 00:00:29 > «Delicious Exxon Mobil oil. Good to the last drop.»
  • Practising as a pitchman, a brother turns to Diet Dr Pepper and then Dr Pepper 10's men-only marketing. — 00:00:29 > «It's not for women, it's for apparently misogynists.»
  • John points out that Hank, with a million jobs, already has his dream job. — 00:01:26 > «Your dream job is to have all the jobs. All the jobs!»
  • Asked what he has left undone for years, Hank tops a liposuction quip. — 00:02:55 > «The elimination of death. I've been meaning to get to that.»
