In a reunion Question Tuesday on a desert walk, John and Hank answer viewer questions on topics chosen by John's children, Pokémon and monkey turtles, plus John's silvering hair, Hank's 40-year-old mohawk, the word 'spicy', plates, and whether John would rather live with C-3PO or R2-D2.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Henry and Alice choose the topics; greeting; a reunion video in the desert

00:00:15 — Monkey turtles, and talking to Alice like a bad chatbot

00:00:59 — Pokémon questions: favourites, a steady job, the most underrated, Henry the Pokémon inventor, the very best

  • ★★ Hank: Asked his favourite Pokémon and why it is Charizard, Hank says it is Snorlax, because he is cute, large and powerful. (playful) — 00:00:59
  • ★★ John says his favourite is 'Andrew', a Pokémon who is just a guy who plays guitar. (joke) — 00:01:03
  • ★★ Hank: Asked which Pokémon could best keep a steady job, Hank pictures Charizard managing a Wendy's, flaming the burgers when the grill breaks. (playful) — 00:01:16
  • ★★ Hank thinks the most underrated Pokémon is surfing Pikachu. (hedged) — 00:01:32
  • ★★ John fumbles Jigglypuff ('wiggle puffed') and then offers 'Spike ladder', which Hank ironically calls a real one. (joke) — 00:01:38
  • ★★ John says that asked what he wants to be when he grows up, Henry says inventor, then pauses and adds: of Pokémon. (playful) — 00:01:47 · Henry Green

00:01:55 — Silver hair, Hank's 40-year-old mohawk, value, height, and 'spicy'

  • ★★ Asked what non-natural colour he would permanently dye his hair, John says silver; Hank notes he is getting there already, and John agrees. (playful) — 00:01:57
  • ★★ Hank says that in college he wanted a job where he could get a mohawk at 40, and now he has one, then plays 'your cool teacher Hank with the 40 year old mohawk'. (playful) — 00:02:09 · Crash Course · also in: John and Hank Hanging Out but they Keep Getting Younger and More Pixelated
  • ★ Asked whether all value derives from humans, the answer (speaker unclear) is no. — 00:02:21
  • ★ John says for the record that Hank is not taller than him; Hank is standing on a rock. (playful) — 00:02:26
  • ★★ Hank's favourite adjective to spice up a sentence is 'spicy', but he worries his friends will know him as the one who says spicy all the time. (playful) — 00:02:31

00:02:47 — Monkey-turtle fight, plates, C-3PO or R2-D2, Hank's Pokémon look-alike, goodbye and the tripod

  • ★★ John says a monkey-turtle would beat a turtle-monkey in a fight, because it can turn into a turtle for protection. (playful) — 00:02:47 · Alice Green
  • ★★ Hank: Asked his favourite type of plate, Hank names the kind the Earth's crust is on. (joke) — 00:02:50
  • ★★ John is baffled by the plate set on the table at fancy restaurants and taken away before the food comes; Hank calls it a just-in-case plate. (playful) — 00:03:03
  • ★★ John would rather have R2-D2 in his house than C-3PO, because hanging out with Hank already feels like having C-3PO. (joke) — 00:03:14 · Hank Green
  • ★★ Neither brother knows which Pokémon looks most like Hank; John says he is excited to find out from his viewers. (unsure) — 00:03:27 · Nerdfighteria
  • ★ Hank: When Mr. Mime is suggested as the only vaguely human-shaped Pokémon, Hank says he knows no greater insult than saying someone looks like Mr. Mime. (playful) — 00:03:32
