From the banks of the nearly flooding Clark Fork River, Hank riffs on random facts and proposes John's two outstanding punishments: a sandwich video with viewer-chosen gross ingredients and a video of more than 35 parts; he also previews his album Ellen Hardcastle.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Greeting at the Clark Fork River, close to flooding

  • ★ Hank films down at the Clark Fork River, which he says is close to flooding. — 00:00:02

00:00:07 — Why did John give himself a punishment? Spitting in the river; crazy people; the ice cream truck plays SexyBack

  • ★★ Hank asks what John was thinking when he gave himself a punishment, since he now has two because of the Helen Hunt thing. (playful) — 00:00:07 · Punishment

00:00:34 — Pink used to be for boys; Hank blames Hitler for the switch

  • ★★ Hank says baby boys were dressed in pink and baby girls in blue until the 1940s. — 00:00:34
  • ★★ Hank says Hitler put pink triangles on gay people during World War II to label them, so that he could later kill them more efficiently. — 00:00:39
  • ★ Hank jokes that because of Hitler pink became an effeminate colour, the entire world switched, and that is why pink ribbons are for boobies. (joke) — 00:00:54

00:01:07 — Bringing sexy back; proving he is really by the river

00:01:19 — Punishment idea borrowed from Corey Vidal: John eats sandwiches of two viewer-chosen ingredients

  • ★★★ Hank proposes a punishment adapted from Corey Vidal's video where viewers clicked annotations to choose two items he blended and drank: viewers will pick two of six ingredients for John's sandwich. — 00:01:19 · Punishment, Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Hank says the brothers originated blending and drinking things, but he wrote to Corey Vidal to ask to borrow his click-to-choose idea, and Corey agreed. — 00:01:31

00:02:01 — The tallest man and the dolphin, Shaq, Achilles; an ant

  • ★★ Hank says the world's tallest man once reached down a dolphin's throat to remove plastic shards because no one else's arms, not even the vets', were long enough. — 00:02:01

00:02:37 — Two punishments for John; ask for sandwich ingredients

  • ★★★ Hank proposes John's two punishments, without saying which is which: a video of more than 35 parts (six times six), and making many sandwiches with gross ingredients. (hedged) — 00:02:37 · Punishment
  • ★★ Hank asks Nerdfighters to suggest in the comments things to include in John's sandwiches. — 00:02:58 · Nerdfighteria

00:03:03 — Album update: Ellen Hardcastle, its songs, cover art and expected release; sign-off

  • ★★★ Hank has been working on his long-overdue album Ellen Hardcastle, with older songs (Strange Charm, What Would Captain Picard Do?, Phineas Gage) and new ones (Shake a Booty, My Phone). — 00:03:03 · What Would Captain Picard Do?
  • ★★ Hank shows the album's cover art by Alan Lastufka. — 00:03:20 · Alan Lastufka
  • ★★ Hank hopes to have the album at LeakyCon and on sale at DFTBA shortly after, around July 13. (hedged) — 00:03:30 · DFTBA Records

Humor (significant)

  • An ice cream truck passes playing Justin Timberlake's 'SexyBack'. — 00:00:28

    “Ice cream trucks have apparently grown up a little since I was a kid.”

  • Hank traces pink's switch from boys to girls to Hitler's pink triangles. — 00:00:54

    “And that is why pink ribbons are for boobies.”

  • Listing sample sandwich pairings, Hank lands on lard and lox and turns it into a title. — 00:01:50

    “Lard and lox. The Steve Buscemi story.”

  • Hank says Shaq could have helped the dolphin but was too busy that day. — 00:02:14

    “He's not going to be so busy anymore.”
