Filming on a VidCon 2010 Flip camera, Hank recounts performing his punishment for an overlong Vlogbrothers upload, drinking the juice of Gushers squeezed by helpers during a live Dear Hank and John at VidCon, then announces a Madison and Minneapolis 'Minitour' for maternal health in Sierra Leone and SciShow's first documentary and Apollo pins.

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 VidCon 2010 Flip camera, a gift for ten years of VidCon

  • ★ Hank films on a VidCon 2010 Flip camera, one of 10 or 20 made with a front he designed, given to him by Barry Carr to celebrate 10 years of VidCon. — 00:00:00 · VidCon

  • ★★ Because each Gusher holds little juice, helpers squeezed Gushers into cups through most of the live Dear Hank and John episode on the VidCon stage. — 00:00:59 · Dear Hank and John, VidCon
  • ★★ Hank describes the gush juice as sweet but first extremely sour and heavy, making his salivary glands release as much saliva as they could. (playful) — 00:00:59
  • ★★ Hank says having drunk the gush was worse than drinking it: his stomach was very upset and acidic, and the crash lasted the rest of the day. (playful) — 00:02:21
  • ★★★ Hank announces a very short tour with John in Madison, Wisconsin and Minneapolis, Minnesota, doing live podcasts, one of them with Katherine. — 00:02:21 · John Green, Katherine Green

Humor (significant)

  • Hank describes his salivary glands responding to the sour gush juice. — 00:01:47

    “It was like jacuzzi jets of saliva.”

  • Hank went back for a second cup because people had worked hard squeezing it, while on stage. — 00:01:47

    “for a second helping. Questionable.”

  • Hank explains the name of the short tour. — 00:03:01

    “We're calling it a Minitour because it's a mini tour and also because Steve the Minotaur will be giving a short lecture.”

  • After signing off, Hank notices the juice on his glasses. — 00:03:30

    “There's gusher on my glasses. Oh my god, it's like still dripping off.”
