What is said

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

00:00:00 — Charlie says good morning to John; Hank introduces his house guest Charlie McDonnell; Charlie feels odd not making a video today; Hank recalls life after Brotherhood 2.0

  • ★★ Hank says he is a big fan of Charlie McDonnell and his YouTube show charlieissocoollike, who is now sleeping at his house, so he asks Charlie questions he wrote the night before. (playful) — 00:00:00
  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Charlie says it feels weird not making a video today; he feels most at home in front of the camera, so being in some video is reassuring. — 00:00:00
  • ★ Hank recalls that after Brotherhood 2.0 ended he did not know what to do with his time. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Brotherhood 2.0

00:00:27 — Missoula vs compact Bath, bikes and a tandem idea; the last thing Charlie screamed at (bungee jumping); the word Charlie would eliminate ('moist')

  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Charlie finds Missoula lovely and little; he likes that compact Bath can be walked everywhere, whereas in bigger America you drive. — 00:00:27 · Missoula, Montana
  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Asked the last thing he screamed at, Charlie says he rarely screams; bungee jumping was mostly silent, and he screamed only because he felt he needed to. (playful) — 00:00:27
  • ★ Charlie McDonnell: Asked which word he would eliminate from English, Charlie picks 'moist'. (playful) — 00:01:15

00:01:35 — Would Charlie kill baby Hitler, given the Evil Baby Orphanage? His worst Challenge Charlie challenge

  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Asked whether he would kill baby Hitler, Charlie wonders why Hank asks after years of the Evil Baby Orphanage; told the orphanage is not an option, he says he would kill the baby. (playful) — 00:01:35 · Evil Baby Orphanage
  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Charlie's worst Challenge Charlie challenge was trying several challenges at once: he threw up halfway and the video was never made. — 00:01:35

00:02:05 — Tattoos: Pinkie Pie or DFTBA inside the lip; Charlie wants none; is Charlie exceptionally gassy?

  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Offered Pinkie Pie on his bicep or DFTBA inside his lip, Charlie says he wants no tattoos: an hour of extreme pain for something no one will see. (playful) — 00:02:05 · DFTBA

00:02:32 — Charlie's farts in London; does he spend more time writing or editing videos (Forever Yours)

  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Charlie says he edited much more than he wrote this past week; for an effects-heavy video like Forever Yours writing and editing took about equal time, otherwise writing takes longer. (hedged) — 00:02:32

00:03:08 — Making videos vs playing video games; they go off to play video games; sign-off to John

  • ★★ Charlie McDonnell: Charlie says he spends more time making videos than playing video games, but only just; he and Hank end the interview to go play video games. (playful) — 00:03:08

Humor (significant)

  • Asked which word he would eliminate from English forever, Charlie says 'moist'; Hank replies: — 00:01:15

    “Moist? Dude, you know that that's my favorite word.”

  • Asked to kill baby Hitler, Charlie invokes the Evil Baby Orphanage; Hank says the orphanage is not an option. — 00:01:35

    “Yeah. I'm gonna kill a baby.”

  • Charlie refuses a DFTBA tattoo inside his lip since no one would see it and it would hurt; Hank counters: — 00:02:05

    “But you'll know forever that your lip wants you to never forget to be awesome.”

  • Asked if he is exceptionally gassy, Charlie admits he farts when out and about. — 00:02:32

    “You can leave a fart. at one place in London and go to a different place.”
