What is said

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

00:00:00 — Buying and opening a signed copy of The Fault in Our Stars on January 10

  • ★★ Hank goes to the bookstore for The Fault in Our Stars, a package that 'does not exist' until January 10; on January 10 he opens it, asks whether it is signed, and finds an anglerfish. (playful) — 00:00:00 · The Fault in Our Stars

00:00:42 — Hank tells John he is proud of TFIOS and its reviews

  • ★ Hank says he can't tell John this in person, although John is standing about 20 feet away, 'because you know we're brothers'. (playful) — 00:00:42

00:01:07 — Announcements: audiobook DVD spoilers, Nerdcash on tour; thanks for videos used and the music
