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; awake too early; the taxi driver nearly killed them; Missoula airport's new outdoor lounge versus John's grey walls

  • ★ Hank, up too early, jokes that their very nice taxi driver nearly killed them; at Missoula airport he has found a new outdoor lounge with a plane behind him, unlike John's grey speckled walls. (playful) — 00:00:10 · Missoula, Montana

00:00:39 — Off to Chicago for tour: change in two-dollar bills for cash merch buyers; new flash drive with every song Hank has recorded

  • ★★ Hank is heading to Chicago for his tour; he went through security with $2,000 in two-dollar bills, and fans who buy merch in cash will get change in two-dollar bills while supplies last. — 00:00:39 · Chicago (city)
  • ★★ Also available on tour is a new flash drive Hank made with every song he has ever recorded or released, even the terrible ones, plus other stuff; he wonders how anyone uses CDs anymore. — 00:00:48

00:01:08 — Two shirts for a week, one per side of the Batman argument, to count which side Nerdfighteria is on

  • ★★★ For a week Hank and John sell two shirts from their Batman argument, Hank's 'We are all bat people!' and John's 'Batman is just a rich guy with an affinity for bats', and will count sales to see Nerdfighteria's side. — 00:01:08 · Nerdfighteria, John Green

00:01:36 — Congratulations to John on his golden bucket of popcorn; Hank's butt is freezing

  • ★ Hank congratulates John on his golden bucket of popcorn and finds it weird. (playful) — 00:01:36 · John Green

00:01:47 — Seven weird facts about marriage, from Ferris Bueller's parents to Carey Mulligan; coincidences are bound to happen

  • ★★ Hank says the two actors who played Ferris Bueller's parents in Ferris Bueller's Day Off met on set and married, and had kids, none named Ferris. — 00:01:51
  • ★★ Hank says none of the 19 couples brought together by the TV show The Bachelor are still together. — 00:02:02
  • ★★ Hank says that in the Crimean War a British sailor threw a live shell overboard; his captain promoted him to lieutenant on the spot, recommended him for the Victoria Cross and introduced him to his daughter, whom he married. — 00:02:12
  • ★★ Hank says a girl and a boy in a photograph taken at Walt Disney World married 30 years later; when it was taken they did not even live in the same country. — 00:02:35
  • ★★ Hank says the man who was the voice of Mickey Mouse for 36 years was married to the woman who voiced Minnie Mouse. — 00:02:46
  • ★★ Hank says David Tennant married an actress who played his daughter in Doctor Who, and she was the real daughter of a man who played the Doctor. — 00:02:54
  • ★★ Hank says there are so many people in the world that weird coincidences are bound to happen; childhood pen pals have many times met later and married. — 00:03:04
  • ★★ Hank says Carey Mulligan and the man from Mumford and Sons were childhood pen pals who both became famous independently, reconnected and married. — 00:03:12

00:03:27 — Looking forward to the tour shows; 'John, we are all bat people'; sign-off

00:03:39 — Outtakes: tipping singers, a mock job interview, Katherine and a cat

Humor (significant)

  • Hank praises their taxi driver. — 00:00:10

    “He nearly killed us.”

  • Hank carried $2,000 in two-dollar bills through airport security. — 00:00:39

    “They didn't even ask!”

  • After Ferris Bueller's on-screen parents married in real life and had children, Hank judges their naming. — 00:01:55

    “Also they had kids and they didn't name any of them Ferris, which is unacceptable.”

  • A sailor's brave act won him promotion, a Victoria Cross recommendation and an introduction to his captain's daughter, whom he married. — 00:02:30

    “One act of bravery turned out pretty well for that guy.”
