What is said

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

00:00:34 — Uninsured Americans should sign up at the health care exchange before the deadline

  • ★★ Hank tells uninsured Americans to sign up at the health care exchange, since the deadline is about three days away (31 March 2014) and they would otherwise be fined. — 00:00:40 · United States

00:00:53 — VidCon less than three months away; Hank working on its content

  • ★★ Hank says VidCon is less than three months away and he is working constantly on its content, which is time-consuming and terrifying; he apologises to those who can't go. — 00:00:54 · VidCon

00:01:14 — Three new channels: How to Adult, The Art Assignment, SciShow Space

  • ★★ Hank announces the recently launched channel How to Adult, with Mike and Emily: a guide to graduating from adolescence without completely crashing and burning. — 00:01:20 · How to Adult
  • ★★ Hank presents The Art Assignment, a project with PBS and Sarah Green that brings culture to YouTube, launched before How to Adult. — 00:01:29 · The Art Assignment, Sarah Urist Green, YouTube, How to Adult
  • ★ Hank says anyone who calls YouTube a black hole of culture should be shown The Art Assignment, or the rest of YouTube, which is pretty cool. (playful) — 00:01:37 · YouTube, The Art Assignment
  • ★★★ Hank announces SciShow Space, launching on April 1 (not an April Fools' joke), covering space news, exploration and science beyond Earth. — 00:01:45 · SciShow Space

  • ★★ Hank says the album should come out at the end of April or in May, barring unforeseen circumstances (he first misspeaks 'March'). (hedged) — 00:02:55

00:03:03 — Reviewsday Tuesday: Hank proposes weekly book-review photos

00:03:27 — Everything else going on in Hank's life; sign-off: only 'I will see you on Tuesday'

  • ★★ Hank tells John he is not comfortable with any outro other than 'I will see you on Tuesday', and uses it. — 00:03:44
