Worst Reunion Video Ever ... or Best?

2023-02-14 · collab / interview · John, Hank · 3:58 · watch on YouTube

Topic: Personal life (also: Nerdfighteria) · mode: Personal update · tags: guest or collab, on location

Together on vacation in Jamaica, John and Hank film a video on Hank's nearly dead camera battery: they joke that not making content is the most radical thing creators can do, say they genuinely get along, recount John's failed couch bet with Sarah, and plug the Project for Awesome starting Friday before the battery runs out.

What is said

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

00:00:00 — Recording on an almost-dead battery; greetings; drinking Tinglings

00:00:24 — Vacation in Jamaica without making content; Hank's four cat photos

00:01:18 — Hanging out with Sarah and Katherine, genuinely getting along, rare fights, John's million-dollar couch bet

  • ★★ both: The brothers say they have had an awesome time without collaborating or making content, instead making 'a different kind of content called life'. (playful) — 00:01:18
  • ★★ Hank says he just really likes John and Sarah, and so does Katherine; it has been a good hang. — 00:01:30 · Sarah Urist Green, Katherine Green
  • ★★★ John says it sometimes surprises him that they do not fake it for the camera: they genuinely get along. — 00:01:40
  • ★★ both: The brothers say they have had only about two fights since becoming professional partners; one, about two weeks ago, came when one of them was exhausted and being annoying. (playful) — 00:01:50
  • ★★ both: The brothers say John offered Sarah a million-dollar bet that their outdoor couch swung like an outdoor swing; she declined because he seemed so confident, and it turned out to be a stationary outdoor bed. (playful) — 00:02:10 · Sarah Urist Green

00:02:43 — Battery blinking red: the sign-off said in the middle and the cuts John will need

00:03:12 — The Project for Awesome starts Friday; the vacation as preparation

00:03:41 — The no-cut plan fails as editing looms and the battery dies

In the description and comments

  • ★ In an unsigned channel reply under the video, the camera battery is confirmed to have really run out at the end. — creator comment

Humor (significant)

  • Two content creators ask what the most radical, countercultural thing they could do in 2023 would be. — 00:00:24

    “And that was to go on vacation and not make content about it.”

  • Having made no content on the trip, they describe what they made instead. — 00:01:18

    “Instead, we've been making a different kind of content called life.”

  • John was so confident the outdoor couch swung that he offered Sarah a million-dollar bet. — 00:02:10

    “It does not swing, as it turns out.”

  • Teased for abandoning the no-cut plan, John, the editor, blames Hank's cat photos. — 00:03:41

    “Well, once I've got to put in a picture of a cat, Hank, I might as well just spend four hours editing a YouTube video.”
