In a roadside orchard they call a pecan orchard, John and Hank answer a Pizzamas Question Tuesday: the tour, Turtles' three weeks atop the bestseller list, Pizza John, John missing PodCon's first day to interview Joe Biden, abandoning one opinion a day, a tour haiku, and a 1% discount code.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Greetings in a 'pecan orchard'; Question Tuesday intro

00:00:12 — Hat, the tour, too much or not enough, the book's sales, Pizza John, lightweight

00:01:02 — John misses PodCon's first day to interview Joe Biden; Uncle Joe

00:01:59 — Abandoning one opinion every day: hot dogs, Phil Collins, M&M flavors

  • ★★ John says that on tour he and Hank decided they have too many opinions, so each day they each abandon one opinion. (playful) — 00:02:07 · also in: John and Hank Hanging Out but they Keep Getting Younger and More Pixelated
  • ★ The abandoned opinions include whether a hot dog is a sandwich and Phil Collins's music. (playful) — 00:02:16
  • ★ Hank has abandoned his opinion on other people's opinions of M&M flavors, a big deal since he was hardcore anti-peanut-butter M&M. (playful) — 00:02:22

00:02:42 — Hank's improvised book-tour haiku

00:03:18 — Where to get Pizzamas gear until Friday; the one-percent discount code; sign-off

  • ★★ Hank: Answering a viewer, Hank says Pizzamas gear is at DFTBA.com and available only until Friday (10 November 2017). — 00:03:24 · DFTBA Records, Pizzamas
  • ★★ Granting a viewer's request, John announces the discount code 'Pizza' for one percent off anything at DFTBA.com for the next 24 hours. (playful) — 00:03:36 · DFTBA Records, Pizzamas

In the description and comments

  • ★★ The description says the brothers answer questions from what was, in retrospect, definitely not a pecan orchard, though they call it one on camera. (playful) — video description

Humor (significant)

  • Asked how to explain Pizza John, Hank says you call him the guy who wrote The Fault in Our Stars — 00:00:55

    “That's all you gotta say, and then they're like oh, and he's a pizza.”

  • Imagining Joe Biden's staff briefing him on who John is before the interview — 00:01:48

    “And they're like well actually he made a video about you in a pecan orchard while wearing his own face on his torso.”

  • Asked for a book-tour haiku with no prep, Hank improvises 'Nauseated bus / Now I'm drunk again / Hanging out with John a lot' and ends — 00:03:01

    “Birds fly around me.”

  • After a viewer asks for a Pizzamas discount code, John grandly announces the code 'Pizza' — 00:03:47

    “One percent off- one percent off of your purchase at dftba.com”
