What is said

The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).

00:00:00 — Hank sings 'Auld Lang Syne' and reads it as asking whether Hank and John should make more videos in 2009

  • ★★ Hank reads 'Auld Lang Syne' as asking whether Hank and John should make more videos in 2009, and answers yes. (playful, hedged) — 00:00:00

00:00:37 — Hank restages his first Brotherhood 2.0 video from two years ago

  • ★★ Hank restages his first Brotherhood 2.0 video from two years ago, including the camera glitch and the eye reflection, admitting he then did not know how to make videos. (playful) — 00:00:37 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ Restaging his first video, Hank reverses its no-textual-communication line: this time the brothers will be communicating through textual means. (playful) — 00:00:37 · No textual communication

00:01:19 — The Brotherhood 2.0.0.9 rules: news Sundays, free Tuesdays, song Wednesdays, surprise videos, punishments

  • ★★★ Every Sunday for the year, John will send Hank a video about a current news event he considers vitally important and Hank is probably ignorant of. — 00:01:19 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★★ Hank says John's news videos were one of the coolest things they did in Brotherhood 2.0: blissful ignorance is nothing compared to the crushing weight of the truth. (playful, hedged) — 00:01:19 · Brotherhood 2.0
  • ★ Hank wants John's Sunday news videos to be good, comprehensive and in-depth, though John may also eat toilet paper or smear peanut butter on his face. (playful) — 00:01:48 · Peanut Butter Face
  • ★★ Every Tuesday one brother sends the other a video blog of any kind. — 00:01:48
  • ★★★ Every other Wednesday Hank will perform an original song: Song Wednesdays are back. — 00:01:48 · Song Wednesday
  • ★★ Later in the week there may be a surprise video, so viewers who like surprise and those who like structure both get what they want. (hedged) — 00:01:48
  • ★★ A brother who fails to keep up these responsibilities will be punished; Hank jokes the punishment could be sticking a needle in his eye. — 00:02:17 · Punishment

00:02:41 — Recap: more structure and more videos, BlogTV appearances, open days; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank sums up: at least one vlog a week, news on Sunday, songs every other Wednesday, more structure and more videos because everybody wanted more videos. — 00:02:41
  • ★ Hank adds there will be more BlogTV appearances and open days for doing whatever they want. — 00:02:41
  • ★★ Hank hopes viewers will accept the brothers doing whatever they want, since nothing beats doing it with John. (hedged) — 00:02:41
