What is said

00:00:00 — Greeting; flashback to blending Strawberry Hill wine and Peeps before the gig

  • ★★ Hank shows footage from before his first live gig of blending Strawberry Hill wine with Peeps. (playful) — 00:00:03 · Peeps

00:00:43 — Katherine pours the 'peep juice' back into the bottle; Hank's verdict that the blending was like the whole evening

  • ★ Hank films Katherine pouring the mixture back into the Strawberry Hill bottle because his hands shake with nerves. — 00:00:43 · Katherine Green
  • ★★ In retrospect Hank says the Peep blending was like the whole evening: loud, uncomfortable, hasty, messy, poorly planned and sloppily executed. (playful) — 00:00:43 · Peeps

00:01:27 — The concert's bad start (a 'ball of fear') and 37 other mistakes; the set list

  • ★★ Hank shows his opening going wrong: something like a ball of fear came up while he sang; it never happened again, but he found about 37 other ways to screw up. (playful) (hedged) — 00:01:27
  • ★★★ Hank recaps the concert with clips of his songs, including 'It's Too Hot', 'I Sold Your Dog on eBay' and 'The Day That the Nerds Took Over YouTube'. — 00:01:27

  • ★★★ After the concert Hank says honestly it felt pretty bad; granting (apparently to Katherine) that it could have been worse, he still calls it pretty bad as concerts go. — 00:03:07
  • ★★ A Nerdfighter filmed the whole concert and has put it on YouTube; Hank will link it so viewers can watch 'the whole horrible mess'. — 00:03:07 · Nerdfighteria, YouTube
  • ★★★ Hank thanks everyone for the punishment and calls it, all in all, a good experience. — 00:03:07 · Punishment

Humor (significant)

  • Hank lists how the Peep blending resembled the whole evening: loud, messy, poorly planned, sticky, stinky. — 00:00:43 > «and the product was more or less similar to dog vomit.»
  • After his opening 'ball of fear' never recurred, Hank sums up the rest of his set. — 00:01:27 > «I did find about 37 other ways to screw up»
  • Katherine says the concert could have been worse; Hank agrees and names how. — 00:03:07 > «I could have been hit in the face with a vial of transmissible cancer.»
  • Having judged his concert pretty bad, Hank reviews his career options. — 00:03:48 > «Rockstar? Crossed off the list.»
