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; 2D Glasses has made Hank 'the 2D glasses guy' in his town; his Montana friends watch the humping/dress videos; love for Nerdfighteria

  • ★★ Hank says 2D Glasses is the weirdest thing he's done: it makes no money, yet everyone in his town now knows him as 'the 2D glasses guy'. — 00:00:00
  • ★ Hank jokes that his outdoorsy Montana friends mostly watch his videos of humping things or wearing a dress, and thanks Nerdfighteria for paying attention without the dress. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Montana, Nerdfighteria

00:00:58 — Your Pants forum still not back; Read It First stalled during John's signing, to be re-energized

  • ★★ Hank says the fight to bring back the Your Pants forum continues and apologises that it has taken so long. — 00:00:58 · in your pants

00:01:27 — Read It First: read Hugo Cabret; URLatron price cut from $30 to $15; VidCon tickets

  • ★★ Hank tells those committed to Read It First's mission to read Hugo Cabret, because it's awesome. — 00:01:27
  • ★★ Hank says URLatron, which turns a Tumblr into a .com domain, launched well but few people signed up, probably because it was too expensive. (hedged) — 00:01:27 · URLatron, Tumblr
  • ★★ Hank cuts URLatron's price from $30 to $15 and points viewers to URLatron.com. — 00:01:27 · URLatron

  • ★★ Hank says Truth or Fail now has over 130,000 subscribers; his latest is about the Muppets because the movie was amazing. — 00:01:57
  • ★★ DFTBA Records turns three; Hank recalls deciding with Alan to start it to make great products people love and let YouTube creators make a living without selling off pieces of their soul. — 00:01:57 · DFTBA Records, Alan Lastufka, YouTube

00:02:55 — Why Hank still wears his old glasses: wrong prescriptions from Walmart and LensCrafters; he swore in front of children at the mall

  • ★★ Hank still wears his old glasses: Walmart wrote down the wrong prescription and LensCrafters then put the wrong prescription in the lenses; he wonders why there's no quality control. — 00:02:55
  • ★★ Picking up the wrong glasses at the mall, Hank was so frustrated that he said the F word in front of little kids. — 00:02:55

In the description and comments
