00:00:00 — At Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart's Highball House in Palm Springs; Hank hides a note

  • ★★ Hank says they are at Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart's vacation rental, the Highball House in Palm Springs, California. — 00:00:01 · Grace Helbig

00:00:34 — Viewer questions answered with Katherine: favorite video, Mr. Darcy, Taskmaster, pelicans, Hank's songs, spherical pizza

  • ★★ Katherine Green: Asked for her favorite video they have made together, Katherine picks the one where they cooked bad old foods. — 00:00:34 · Hank Green, Katherine Green
  • ★★ Hank agrees: it was one of the hardest he ever worked on a vlogbrothers video, for no result, since none of the food was good. — 00:00:34 · Vlogbrothers
  • ★★ Katherine Green: Katherine's favorite Mr. Darcy is the original one from the book; of the actors who played him, Colin Firth. — 00:01:03 · Katherine Green
  • ★ both: Hank and Katherine agree their favorite Taskmaster contestant is Bob Mortimer: you can't beat him in any contest. — 00:01:03 · Katherine Green
  • ★★ Katherine Green: Katherine would fight four pelican-sized Hanks rather than one Hank-sized pelican, but would hug the Hank-sized pelican, to Hank's dismay. (playful) — 00:01:43 · Hank Green, Katherine Green
  • ★★ Katherine Green: Katherine's favorite Hank Green song is The Universe is Weird. — 00:01:43 · Hank Green, Katherine Green

00:02:41 — Should Hank grow a mustache; thanks to Katherine for 16 years of marriage; sign-off

Humor (significant)

  • Hank and Katherine compare the age of their marriage with a famous internet meme. — 00:00:01

    “Older than none pizza with left beef.”

  • Asked her favorite Mr. Darcy, Katherine names the original from the book in fried-chicken terms. — 00:01:03

    “Extra Tasty Crispy, Mr. Darcy.”

  • Asked whether she would fight one Hank-sized pelican or four pelican-sized Hanks, Katherine answers at once. — 00:01:03

    “Oh, four pelican-sized hanks. For sure.”

  • Katherine would rather hug a Hank-sized pelican than four small Hanks. — 00:01:43

    “You wouldn't hug a bunch of little me's?”
