What is said

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

00:00:00 — The post-Christmas lull, the nearly forgotten video, the puzzle and the messy house

  • ★ Hank says it is the space between Christmas and New Year's when no one knows what's going on, and he almost forgot to make a video. (playful) — 00:00:00 · Christmas

00:00:34 — Viewer questions: farting in space, live Delete This at PodCon, holiday music, the AART sequel's name, lookalikes, Hank's Twitter

  • ★★ Asked whether a fart in space could be heard, Hank says both people would have to be out of spacesuits and dying, ear close to the butt, but he bets you could. (playful, hedged) — 00:00:34
  • ★★ Hank asks Katherine whether she is excited to be at PodCon and to do a live Delete This there. — 00:00:50 · Delete This, Katherine Green
  • ★ Asked what holiday music they like, the answer (partly unclear) includes Handel's Messiah, and Hank calls it a mix in their household. — 00:01:00
  • ★★ Asked what the sequel to An Absolutely Remarkable Thing will be named, Hank says he has a working name, but his publisher, editor and agent have told him it is bad. — 00:01:13 · A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

00:02:06 — Delete This plug, New Year's resolutions, inside jokes, pina coladas, and Orin's cutest moment

  • ★★ Hank points viewers to their podcast Delete This: it is free and recorded in this room, usually on the couch, sometimes from their bed. — 00:02:06 · Delete This
  • ★★ For a New Year's resolution, Hank says he would like to use his phone less, specifically in bed. — 00:02:22
  • ★★ Katherine Green: Katherine says she wants to go meat-free for a month to start the year; she has never tried going vegetarian and wants to try it. — 00:02:22 · Katherine Green
  • ★ Asked for their favourite inside couple joke, they decline: that one is theirs. (playful) — 00:02:36
  • ★★★ Katherine Green: Katherine's cutest Orin moment: left in his crib after a nap with a book, he put his hippo lovey on his lap and said 'Hippo, read a book.' — 00:02:36 · Orin Green, Katherine Green

00:03:16 — YouTube nerves, a Nutcracker's well wishes, sign-off and PodCon tickets

  • ★★ Katherine Green: Asked how nervous they are for when their child starts watching YouTube, the answer is: very. — 00:03:16 · YouTube, Orin Green
  • ★★ Hank says PodCon tickets are available now for January 19-20 in Seattle, with digital attendance delivered into your podcast app, since everything at PodCon is a podcast. — 00:03:16

Humor (significant)

  • After agreeing you could hear a fart in space, they note you can still fart when you're dead — 00:00:34

    “They call it the Lord's Toot. The last one you have.”

  • Asked whom they resemble, Ralphie from A Christmas Story is offered, then Mr. Darcy, whose first name gets replaced — 00:01:38

    “I was thinking Dwayne.”

  • Asked her favourite thing about Hank's Twitter, Katherine answers — 00:02:06

    “Wow, nothing.”

  • Asked for New Year's well wishes, Katherine has a Nutcracker say 'Herp' — 00:03:16

    “Whatever you need to hear is what this Nutcracker is saying.”
