(If you add In Your Pants to the end of book titles, many of those book titles become much funnier.)

Épisode 108 - I HATE PENNIES!!!! (Also Nickels.)
6 septembre 2010
In which John Green discusses his virulent hatred for pennies and nickels, two utterly irrelevant coins that inexplicably remain money in the United States of America. It costs more than 1.7 cents to make a 1 cent penny coin in the US; nickels are even more ridiculous, costing more than nine cents to produce. UPDATE: Those statistics are out of date. In 2009, it cost 1.6 cents to make a penny and 6.1 cents to make a nickel; the US Mint lost 22 million on penny and nickel production, not the 70 million they lost in 2008. (This is because the recession has made zinc and nickel cheaper.) Thank to youtuber http://www.youtube.com/sivartis for the correction.
Épisode 109 - Where are the Space Aliens?!
8 septembre 2010
In which Hank takes on the Fermi Paradox. Why, if there are so many stars in our galaxy, have we not heard from inhabitants of other galaxies. Hank honestly believes that it is because we're stupid to think that civilizations communicate the way we do, think the way we do, or act the way we do. And if they do act in any of those ways, they probably won't do it for very long, because we probably won't do it for very long either.
Épisode 110 - Giant Baby Attack

13 septembre 2010
In which Hank visits YouTube's physical location...or does he? Thanks to Rick and Margaret for showing me around, and all of everyone else for not getting too creeped out at me waving my camera around. YouTube HQ was great to see, but mostly it was a bunch of people working hard to make YouTube better. Which, I guess, if I'd thought about it, is what I should've expected. And San Francisco is BEAUTIFUL! So awesome...people who live here...I am extremely jealous! And thanks to Mitch for putting The Katherine and I up in Pacific Heights.
Épisode 112 - Positive Pranking: The TP Edition
15 septembre 2010
Amy KR's Positive Pranking: http://bit.ly/9NwPJ6 John builds upon an idea by the brilliant Amy Krouse Rosenthal to turn pranks into vehicles for worldsuck reduction. In this video, he TPs houses around his hometown of Indianapolis. (TP, in this instance, stands for Tootsie Pop.) Enjoy your tootsie pops, Indy. My note: Hello! Your home has been TP'ed, which--for today, at least--means that it has been Tootsie Popped. These Tootsie Pops are your for the licking (and/or biting) not as a part of some marketing campaign but because of an initiative called Positive Pranking started by the author Amy Krouse Ronsethal with the help of the nerdfighters, an Internet-based community of people who seek to decrease the overall worldwide level of suck.

I just GEEK OUT OVER THE LAST WORDS OF FAMOUS PEOPLE, as you already know if you've read Looking for Alaska.)
Épisode 123 - Like a Snake Swallowing an Egg: Thoughts from Florida
11 octobre 2010

Épisode 125 - TOP 7 FAILS OF HISTORY
15 octobre 2010
The other day I said I would speak at an event here in Missoula. I slept in, missed my speaking slot, and felt like a totally failure. So I read about some of the worst fails of all time to make myself feel better. I may have let some people down, but at least my fail didn't lead to the deaths of millions of people.

Épisode 128 - Making Adorable Music
22 octobre 2010
In which John auditions to join his brother Hank's band. The toys I use in this video are called sing-a-ma-jigs; kids REALLY LOVE THEM and I have to confess that this adult kind of does, too. (And no, singamajigs did not pay me to make this video. We don't accept paid product placement precisely so you don't have to ask yourself that question.)
Épisode 129 - Rocky Horror + Glee = ?
25 octobre 2010
In which Hank discusses why he had a viscerally negative reaction to the news that Rocky Horror was doing Glee. Yes, there's part of me that doesn't want to see Rocky Horror get auto-tuned. And let me be clear when I say...NEARLY EVERY SONG ON GLEE IS AUTOTUNED. I don't know why they do it...the kids can sing...but they do it anyway, which I find extremely annoying. But it's cool for a few reasons too. But I think the big reason that I have an issue is that Rocky is about an experience. People often take it out of the theater and wonder "what's the big deal?" Because, without the theater experience, it isn't a big deal. The "big deal" of it is that the people who watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show made movie-watching a two-way experience. They became part of the movie...and they will forever be a part of the movie...if only in my head. I can't hear the lines of the actual songs anymore...I hear the callbacks. I don't know how glee will handle it, but I anticipate that they will strip out all of the interesting things about RHPS and just sing a few songs. Who knows though! But if you're over 18...you should go try and find a Rocky Horror showing in your area...because it will be an experience...it might be awkward...it might be confusing...but it will be an experience.
Épisode 130 - You Are Awesome
27 octobre 2010
In which John discusses the many ways in which nerdfighters are decreasing worldsuck, from hospitals in America to villages in Bangladesh. Thanks for being awesome!
Épisode 131 - Hank Has Questions
29 octobre 2010
In which Hank asks a lot of questions...most of which are unanswerable. But, those happen to generally be the most interesting and even useful questions to ask. And I'm very curious about why that is. He talks some about The Rocky Horror Glee show, which, if you're wondering, he liked about 50% of the time, which is a pretty low percentage in his television viewing experience. And he talks about Fable 3, which is giving him a pretty hard time these days...keeping him up late trying to save his citizens from almost certain doom. Seriously, he think he's going to have to play it through again from the start to get everyone to live.
Épisode 132 - Consider the Lemming
1 novembre 2010
In which John discusses lemmings, the role the 1958 Disney documentary Winter Wilderness played in perpetuating the lie that lemmings commit suicide en masse, the limits of online video when it comes to education, Susan Sontag's book Regarding the Pain of Others, the Internet's fascination with decontextualized trivia, and a forthcoming vlogbrothers project.

Épisode 133 - Phineas Gage: A Song
3 novembre 2010
In which Hank sings a song about a guy who had an iron rod shoot through his brain and survived for 12 years before eventually dying of severe seizures. His name was Phineas Gage, and his tale is fascinating, so I wanted to write a song about it.

5 novembre 2010
In which John discusses the causes of the French Revolution and its initial events, including the French debt crisis under King Louis XVI, the convocation of the estates general, the rise of the third estate, the formation of the National Assembly, the tennis court oath at Versailles, the storming of the Bastille, the women's march, and the moving of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to Paris. This is part of a four-video series designed to see whether we can make genuinely educational videos--the kind of videos that could actually help people learn the big and important things they have to learn in school. Nerdfighters gave us permission to make the videos longer than four minutes, so....no punishment. Let us know how we're doing.
Épisode 135 - Probability 101
8 novembre 2010
In which Hank discusses the basics of probability, the art of finding meaning in randomness. And it's there, it's all over, everywhere! Master these simple rules and you'll always know what's coming...except not really.

10 novembre 2010

15 novembre 2010
In which John discusses the New York Times's web-based application allowing each of us to examine the extent and complexity of the United States federal budget deficit and the difficulty of balancing the budget. Do we increase taxes or cut spending? Or, more plausibly but less politically viable, both raise taxes and lower spending? Also there is some talk of pizza shirts.
Épisode 140 - HARRY POTTER SONG!
17 novembre 2010
In which Hank sings "This is Not Harry Potter. Lyrics below.
Épisode 141 - I'm Not Going Down: Thoughts from Amsterdam

In which John and Hank Green reunite to discuss the 2010 Project for Awesome and then proceed to challenge nerdfighteria to solve a dinnertable dispute in re. the energy output needed to create moon pasta and then discuss the new t-shirts at DFTBA Records. The idea of the project for awesome is simple. You make a video in support of a charity you wish to support, and hopefully lots of people will watch and favorite and comment upon the video. P4A videos are particularly awesome and effective when they're well-edited videos that show us how the organization you support changes lives for the better.
Épisode 145 - John and Hank: The Out-Takes

Épisode 148 - Giant Squids OF LOVE
3 décembre 2010
In which John discusses the strange and fascinating mating habits of the giant squid, and then ponders why the sexual and reproductive habits of so many animals tend to be inefficient and--to humans at least--very strange.
Épisode 149 - Tongue Twisters
6 décembre 2010
In which Hank proves that he can think too much about ANYTHING by thinking too much about Tongue Twisters. It's all about the sibilant fricatives baby. Tongue twisters are actually a universal game that all people play regardless of language. The best ones have a few qualities: 1. They will trip you up 2. They're fun to say when you get it right 3. Opportunities for Embarassment 4. Excellent Rhythm and cadence and possibly rhyme as well. Psycho-linguists (yes, that's a thing) still don't know exactly why tongue twisters trip people up, but they do know that it has more to do with the mind than the tongue. But the point is that speech is far more complicated and wonderful than we generally give it credit for, and tongue twisters are one of the few opportunities we really get to enjoy how amazing it really is.

Épisode 6 - Top 5 Actual Conspiracies
14 janvier 2011
Yes, it seems like the word "conspiracy" is always paired with the word "theory" but, in fact, there are quite a few actual conspiracies with implications that can boggle the mind. Does the U.S. Government kill people for scientific research? Sometimes. Did George Bush's Grandfather help try to install a fascist dictatorship in America? Yup. Did scientology orchestrate the largest ever infiltration of the U.S. government, you betcha!
Épisode 7 - Cheating Cheaters of Cheatery: The Amazing Story of Brazil's Cotton War with the U.S.
17 janvier 2011
In which John Green discusses the insane story of how the United States of America ended up subsidizing the cotton industry in Brazil so that America could continue its own illegal subsidies of its cotton farmers. This year and every year until we end our illegal cotton subsidies, the U.S. federal government will pay $147 million of American tax dollars to Brazilian cotton farmers to make up for our illegal subsidies, which amount to more than $3 billion most years. There's no question that American cotton subsidies create jobs, but there's ample evidence that the same $3 billion could be used to create MORE jobs, either through more efficient direct government stimulus or through just not spending that $3 billion and allowing private industry to create jobs with that 3 billion in capital. This is (one of the reasons) why economists generally hate industry-specific subsidies.
Épisode 8 - YOU ARE WRONG!
19 janvier 2011
We are almost always wrong, maybe not all the way wrong, but at least a little bit. Even the simplest questions have vast complexities built into them, and understanding that we never fully understand things leads to a much healthier and more effective relationship with the world.
Épisode 9 - Looking for Alaska Five Years After the Printz Award
21 janvier 2011
In which John discusses, exactly five years after winning the Michael L. Printz Award for Looking for Alaska, the complex series of collaborations involved in creating a book.

I can't tell you guys how much I appreciate you reading "Alaska" and sharing it with your friends. You are...I'm just going to say it...better than pizza. Thanks.
Épisode 10 - The 1200% Increase in my Prescription Drug Costs
24 janvier 2011
In which Hank is pissed off because the price of his prescription drugs went up 1200% in one month. So he asks nerdfighteria to write a nice letter to Roger Boissonneault at rboissonneault@wcrx.com. If you could ask him why the price went up so much, why the program expired four months early, and why no effort was made to contact my doctor about these dramatic changes, that would be fantastic. Also, whatever else you want to say. I feel a little bit like this was a heroin deal "first time's free" kind of thing. Apparently, drug companies have the same marketing strategies as drug dealers...nice to know they're in such good company.
Épisode 11 - I OWN WARNER CHILCOTT!
26 janvier 2011

Épisode 14 - Top 5 Awesome Things About the Webb Telescope
2 février 2011
The James Webb Space Telescope is the successor to the Hubble's throne. In order to pick up extremely faint infra-red signals from extremely distant stars and galaxies, the JWST has to be extremely cold. Any noise from the IR radiation of the Sun or Earth would make it impossible to see as far into the past as scientists want to. Thus, the JWST has to be a million miles from the earth, protected by a six-layer heat shield as big as a tennis court. This will allow the Webb Telescope to peer into the deepest reaches of space, through clouds of dust into stellar nurseries and back in time 13.4 billion years. Not only will we get the most detailed views of our universe ever, but the JWST will provide insights into how solar systems, galaxies, stars and even the Universe were formed.

The coolant systems that would prevent this from happening were disabled by the tsunami. Cracks in the fuel rods created an environment allowing hydrogen to form, which concentrated and then exploded several times destroying both the primary and secondary containment structures at at least one reactor. The result is that the reactor needs to remain cooled or else radiation from the meltdown will be released to the environment in significant quantities.

Slipknot to Ritchie Valenz, for some reason the I vi IV V chord progression just sounds amazing.

This video has no cuts, which was a moonpasta challenge that I silently accepted. But you should feel free to continue challenging me to do things, I like that. I discovered this and all of the songs in it on my own through what I already knew or searches on the internet except for the Slipknot use of the Ice Cream Changes, which I discovered via an awesome mashup (linked below) that, yes, I found on Reddit.

From SimEarth I learned what that crustaceans existed before fish. From SimTower I learned that things are never as simple as they seem.

It was really amazing to see it with some of the most die-hard Harry Potter fans in the world. There was a lot of crying going on...I think I actually hyperventilated near the end, I was shaking and tingly. It was a very important moment, I'm looking forward to seeing it in a less emotionally-charged room to see if I can be a little more analytical about it. Right now, my overall feelings are "BGHAAHRGLUH" LeakyCon has been amazing, I'm about to go to a hugemongous Nerdfighter Gathering and I'm very excited. Glad I got my video up in time!!

Turf grass is the biggest irrigated crop in the US; we irrigate grass almost exclusively with drinkable water; also, you will be surprised to learn that grass is INEDIBLE.

Lots of people (particularly people who work in the lawn business) will note that turf grass is a carbon sink (particularly if you mow the lawn frequently).

Épisode 99 - Thoughts from a Butterfly Hatch
22 août 2011
In which Hank talks about butterflies, which were hatching like crazy in the Bitterroot valley this weekend. So yeah, it was really amazing. They were constantly landing on us. They were all the way from the treetops to the path in front of us. Hundreds of thousands of Western Whites. This isn't a particularly unusual event, but we totally lucked into it. It wasn't intentional or anything. We also saw mourning cloaks and swallowtails and the really tame one that I got those RIDICULOUS close-ups of was a mystery to me so I asked twitter, and the consensus is "probably an eastern comma" but anglewings all look very similar, so we're not sure. We'd need to look at it's genitalia, probably.

28 octobre 2011
In which John reads the first chapter of his new book, The Fault in Our Stars, to you in lieu of making a real video today. I hope you like it, and that it's not too awkward hearing a 34-year-old man pretend to be 16-year-old Hazel Grace Lancaster.

In which John reports on the state of the Bank of Nerdfighteria, comments on Hank's goatee, and explains just what the Bank of Nerdfighteria is. (Since a couple of people have asked, no, I do not get paid by Kiva. I just think it's an amazing way to help people that almost never ends up costing actual money. Also, the vlogbrothers have never done paid product placement and never will.)
Épisode 134 - T-Shirt and Jeans - A Song
14 novembre 2011
In which Hank sings a song about his favorite outfit. I wrote this after a debate with Tom Milsom. A debate which, to be clear, I was not the winner of. I actually think that fashion is a perfectly viable form of communication and that is absolutely an art. So, yeah, I agree with the perspective of the song but not, like, completely.

16 novembre 2011

Épisode 136 - Top 5 Reasons ████ ██ ██████
18 novembre 2011
By attempting to control the internet, Congress can't help but do anything but screw it up. They want to create a system whereby any website in America could be turned off at a moment's notice. And if they can do it, don't worry, they will. Websites will be so afraid of this new power that they will not wait to be censored, they will censor themselves, stifling the culture of creation that has become so powerful on the internet. Congress will never be able to keep up with the people who want to infringe on copyright, but they will be able to track down and stomp out casual users who want to cover songs, create mashups, GIFs, videos, let's plays, and commentaries. They'll do a great job of scaring legitimate users while missing the real violators, who have enough expertise and free time to get around whatever blocks the government puts in place. It's idiotic...technology has created a new paradigm for content creators. They cannot legislate this technology away, and even if they could they shouldn't. Please contact your senators and representatives, and tell them to vote against the Protect IP and SOPA bills. Tell them that you think copyright law is important, but constricting the freedom of the internet is not the way to do it.
Épisode 137 - Old Man Narrates Young Girl

In which John discusses narrating one version of The Fault in Our Stars audiobook, the unusual and good-hearted conversations with Brilliance Audio that made it possible, how copyright and intellectual property law affected his first novel Looking for Alaska, and why he is so troubled by the SOPA and PROTECT IP bills currently being discussed by the United States congress.
Épisode 138 - Why are Barns Red and Kardashians Famous
23 novembre 2011
And 23 other questions answered. The ones I missed were: H: Why are hydrocarbons insoluble in water: Because hydrocarbons are non-polar and water is polar and, y'know, like dissolves like. I: Why are insects attracted to light: This is hard to answer because there are lots of theories but no one is 100% sure. X: Why are X-Rays dangerous? Because they can penetrate deeply into our bodies, and yet still interact with them. So they can potentially knock atoms out of place in your DNA, causing mutations which could cause cancer and other disease.
Épisode 139 - Chapter TWO of The Fault in Our Stars
25 novembre 2011

In which John digs deep into the insane story of nature's craziest mammal, the honey badger, which has become famous for its fearlessness but should be more widely appreciated for its other gifts, including loose skin, hideous farts, and a reputation baby cheetahs are glad to imitate. Note: If you see a honey badger, which live in Africa and Asia, WATCH OUT. They go straight for the nuts.
Épisode 142 - F#*%? An Explanation of Curse Words
2 décembre 2011
An introduction to curse words, why they exist, where they come from, how they function, and why they are, in fact, different from other sorts of words. And, yes, I really did say all of those bad words and, with significant detective skills you can probably figure out what it was that I was saying. Sorry for the profanity...it was interesting to scream curse words all day! Also, my facial hair is gone! So all of you hair haters can rejoice, I know The Katherine is.

A video about my dog, Lemon, who is a retired racing greyhound, a cuddlebear, a fart face, and a herp-a-derp-apotomus. Katherine and I spent all day yesterday thinking of these: If Lemon were at a 90 degree angle to a wall...she would be DERPENDICULAR! If Lemon violated the first law of thermodynamics, she would be...A DERPETUAL MOTION MACHINE If Lemon were a middle school attack move, she would be a PURPLE DERPLE! Every year on Lemon's birthday, we throw her a DERPRISE PARTY! If Lemon were a professional thief, they would call her... wait for it.... THE DERPETRATOR! That's all we got...but seriously we love her very much and you can find a greyhound adoption agency near you (if you live in America) here http://www.adopt-a-greyhound.org/directory/list.cfm

And thanks to everyone who made videos, comment spammed, and donated! * This story, "The War for Banks Island," is unfinished and when it is finished, it will be bad. But unlike Zombicorns, it will not be released under a creative commons license, so only people who buy it will ever get to read it. I'm hoping to finish it around January 20th.

Épisode 2 - Kill your TV
6 janvier 2012
In which Hank is astounded by how extremely unfriendly, exploitative, annoying, expensive, and useless digital cable systems are these days. I literally could not believe how annoying it was. It's clearly an industry not just ripe for, but in great need of, revolution. And I suppose that's what we're doing here. And that dog at the end is Sam, who is the dog of my friends Heather and Dave who are the owners of said TV. Sam just had a bit of surgery but he's doing fine now!

"The Fault in Our Stars is John Green at his best. You laugh, you cry, and then you come back for more." -- Markus Zusak, bestselling and Printz Honor winning author of The Book Thief "An achingly beautiful story" SLJ Starred Review "A smartly-crafted, intellectual explosion of a romance." Kirkus "Green shows us true love...and it is far more romantic than any sunset on a beach." -- NYTimes Book Review THANKS TO EVERYONE...

Épisode 6 - Thoughts on SOPA From New Orleans
20 janvier 2012
In which Hank walks around the French Quarter and discusses the freaking sweet internet blackout that resulted in a great number of congresspeople dropping their support for SOPA and PIPA. The internet is coming into its own as a powerful political force, and just in time to face serious threats. Note: All buskers in this video received at least a $5 tip. Posting a video of a busker is a really interesting intellectual property discussion, actually. If I were to take 20 videos of that one man band and create a YouTube channel all about him and then make a bunch of money off of it and not give him any, that would clearly be wrong, but it would not (as far as I can tell) be illegal. He's performing in a public space and I am thus allowed to record him. It's another example of the rule "don't be a dick" being far more important than any law congress can pass on copyright reform. We are entering a brave new world here, thank you for standing up for the internet, helping to defeat SOPA and PIPA, and thinking deeply about these issues.

Épisode 10 - An Awful Lot of Touring
3 février 2012

The music, of course, was composed by Michael Aranda. You can get the lego set here: http://dft.ba/-20HD It's cheaper on Amazon, but still pretty dang expensive. But it was really fun! Also, LEGO did not pay me to say any of those things or make this video or anything. If we ever do product placement (which we have always turned down in the past) we will certainly let you know.

All in honor of the release of a great movie (based on a great book.) If you haven't seen the Hunger Games, I heartily suggest it...that is, as long as you read it first :-p Sorry this video is a bit disjointed in places, we recorded like an hour of footage and it was quite hard to edit down to four minutes. Music by Michael Aranda, camera work by The Katherine.
Épisode 25 - Wrong but Right: Thoughts from Places Amsterdam
27 mars 2012
(It occurred to me while editing that you are not actually able to confirm that I ever put on pants.) In which John travels to Amsterdam--where he lived for two months while finishing The Fault in Our Stars--to promote the Dutch edition of the book. Along the way he visits places that were important to him and to the made-up people in his novel, including the Spui Square, the Beninghof, a bathroom that you must pay to enjoy, the Vondelpark, the Anne Frank House, the hotel de Philsosoof, takes a ride on a canal boat, and listens to a mathematician discuss infinity. Thanks, as always, to the extraordinary community of Dutch nerdfighters for their support, and to my Dutch publisher Lemniscaat for bringing me back to the city I love so much. CORRECTION: What I meant to say is that Hazel incorrectly concludes that the set of numbers between 0 and 1 is smaller than the set of numbers between 0 and 2. In fact, they are the same size. (Check out the wikipedia article about infinite cardinality for a few proofs of this mind-blowing fact.) Anyway, I don't know why I said whole numbers when I meant to say numbers. Presumably because I am an idiot.

3 avril 2012
In which John discusses Canada's heroic elimination of the penny and how divisive political discourse--on both sides of the aisle--hurts both the American people and the American economy. Examples of poor policy making include congress's failure to secure long-term funding for the FAA (which should be easy, since it's paid for entirely by a tax that most travelers are more than content to pay), Congressional Republicans' refusal to pass a long-term highways bill (which makes road work more expensive than it needs to be), and by congressional Democrats refusal to consider sensible medicare reform that might bring better health care outcomes to more older Americans while bringing cost savings to Medicare. (To be fair: Some congressional democrats want to reform medicare; a few congressional republicans thought the whole FAA debacle was an embarrassment; and one noted Democrat, President Barack Obama, has consistently expressed support for smart reform of Medicare, despite huge blowback from his party.) All this while biking a 30-mile loop around the great city of Indianapolis.
Épisode 28 - Can I be Space President?
6 avril 2012
In which Hank discusses his trip to Northrop Grumman and how odd it is that the same people responsible for the most important space-based mission of the next 20 years are also the people who make bombs for the united states government.

Épisode 41 - Religion and Gay Marriage
15 mai 2012
In which John discusses marriage equality, what a traditional marriage actually is, and what role (if any) theological understandings of marriage play in the legal definition of marriage.

Also discussed are writers M. T. Anderson, Shannon Hale, Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Michael Chabon, Kadir Nelson, Ally Condie, and Lois Lowry. And some so-called real housewives.

Épisode 49 - Flinching in the Shower
15 juin 2012
In which Hank talks about Flinch (http://dft.ba/-flinch) and Foo Camp and takes a very VERY cold shower. This video, I admit, isn't terribly well held together, I go a lot of places, not including the shower. But my point is, we have to become more effective people not for ourselves, but because the world needs more effective people. Effective, intelligent, good-willed, and kind. That's what we need and don't have enough of.

19 juin 2012
In which John solves the problems of nerdfighters.

It's been a long time since I just sat down in front of the camera and talked...but that's what I did here. Things are pretty crazy with VidCon and Lizzie Bennet right now, so I didn't have time to prepare anything, but sometimes that's when the best videos happen. Of course, they're much harder to edit because it's like "OK, I have a bunch of weird ranting...now to make this into an intelligible, structured piece of communication!" I don't think I did very well with that here, except to convey that I'm stressed out and weird.
Épisode 52 - Insufficient Funds: A Story of Canada
26 juin 2012
In which John explains why he is always taken aside and searched when attempting to enter the great nation of Canada due to The Insufficient Funds Incident of 1995.
Épisode 53 - Online Video about Online Video
29 juin 2012
In which Hank does not show you lots of clips from VidCon because that would just be mean...also because there's no way he'd have enough time to edit a vlog like that in time to put it online. Good lord I am tired, but VidCon is awesome, I wish you were all here.
Épisode 54 - The Physics of Book Clubs and Vidcon
3 juillet 2012
In which John discusses his Vidcon experience, thanks his brother, and announces that you (yes, you!) need to read Part I of Ray Bradbury's FAHRENHEIT 451 by next Tuesday to prepare for our discussion in the Nerdfighter Book Club. (if you've read the book before, I encourage you to try reading it again with us!) Vidcon was amazing. Thanks to everyone who was there, and let us know in comments if you were there, and what your favorite moments were. DFTBA!
Épisode 55 - The Higgs Boson
6 juillet 2012
The video is exactly 4:00 - YouTube adds a second. In which Hank takes a few minutes out of his busy vacation to talk about the Higgs boson, the Higgs field, and what they mean. We know a remarkable amount about this universe, but as of this week, we officially know a lot more. It's pretty freaking exciting, and I'm very pleased that our world is still committed to this kind of pure science and discovery. Thanks to Henry Reich of Minute Physics for looking this video over and making sure I'm not totally full of crap.
Épisode 56 - Feeling More Alive: Fahrenheit 451's The Hearth and the Salamander
10 juillet 2012
In which John discusses Part 1 of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, "The Hearth and the Salamander," including discussions of Guy Montag, Clarisse, the complicated relationship between technology and nature, and more. Huzzah for the Nerdfighter Book Club!
Épisode 57 - An Army of Mindless Drones
13 juillet 2012
In which Hank discusses his feelings after the first parts of Fahrenheit 451, argues with John, and takes a bite out of a banana. I worry that, since Ray Bradbury appears to think that all humanity can be stripped of people, that some people will assume that all humanity /has/ been stripped from people. In my discussions with people of all sorts, I have not found that to be even a little bit possible, no matter how much mindless entertainment they consume, or how averse they are to the idea of deep thinking. I worry about the implications of dehumanizing an entire society. I also think that, as a SciFi novel, the culture itself isn't very well sketched out, but it is quite a short book, and maybe I should save that discussion for next time.
Épisode 58 - Hitler and Sex!
17 juillet 2012
In which John discusses the sex life of Adolf Hitler in response to a conversation he had with a cable television producer.
Épisode 59 - The Universe is Weird: A Song

24 juillet 2012
In which John responds to Hank's newfound fitness and buffitude by purchasing, and walking on, a treadmill desk. I've been writing on the treadmill desk for more than a week now, and I love it!

Épisode 62 - Nerd Olympics
31 juillet 2012

Épisode 63 - I Don't Understand My Life

Épisode 64 - EXTRA! Thoughts from Tour
4 août 2012
Hank's tour diary from the very quick, three-day tour he took with Harry and the Potters and Potter Puppet Pals. They're still on tour (and will be for a while) without me, and the show is REALLY REALLY GREAT! Tickets are generally $10 and VERY WORTH IT http://harryandthepotters.com/shows/
Épisode 65 - An Open Letter to Students Returning to School
7 août 2012

Épisode 66 - I Don't Have a Favorite Pony
10 août 2012
In which Hank (with the help of Michael Aranda) sings about My Little Pony. Yup...
Épisode 67 - John and Rainn Wilson Talk Romance
13 août 2012
In which John has a very special Monday talk (which does not supersede John's Tuesday video) with Rainn Wilson of Soul Pancake about the big stuff, namely romantic advice. While Rainn's advice is sound, the video takes a turn for the decidedly unromantic, and the draining of cysts is discussed. Romance takes a back seat, but bromance ensues.
Épisode 68 - To Be Anything At All: Thoughts from Places, Chicago and LeakyCon 2012
14 août 2012
In which John discusses the surprises and pleasures of being anything at all while attending the Harry Potter conference LeakyCon and walking around downtown Chicago. Also, I read from some humiliating high school fiction.
Épisode 69 - Open Letter to the Wizards
17 août 2012
In which Hank sings a song about Harry Potter, and how screwed up that world is, really, when you think about it. Thanks to Harry and the Potters and Neil Cicierega for helping inspire it.
Épisode 70 - Is College Worth It?
21 août 2012
In which John ponders whether a college degree is worth the high tuition, student loans, opportunity cost, and low-paying entry-level positions involved. Is the cost involved worth the returns? Is this even a simple economic question, or are there intangible benefits that come along with education?
Épisode 71 - Happy Birthday John Green!
24 août 2012
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN! Lower-than-actual resolution (but still very high) image available here: http://hankgreen.com/johnmosaicbig.jpg Chewie Solo 2012! http://dftba.com/chewie Thank you to everyone who is a part of what we do, no one does anything alone, but I feel like that's more true for the two of us than anyone, like, ever. Just wanted to take the time to say it on John's birthday. And thanks to all the people who participated in the mosaic! Try to find yourself!
Épisode 72 - Six Reasons Neil Armstrong was a BADASS
26 août 2012
This video contains the word "BADASS." I just wanted to add a bit to all of the discussions surrounding Neil Armstrong. We shouldn't forget that he was perfect for this mission not only because he was humble and would make a great symbol for our country and the world, but that he was also an amazing, highly skilled, tried by fire, pilot with NERVES OF FREAKING STEEL!
Épisode 73 - In Which the Candle Dies
28 août 2012
In which John discusses the end of the Looking for Alaska candle and the coming of the box set designed by nerdfighter Karen Kavett (http://www.youtube.com/xperpetualmotion). Also, John takes you on a whirlwind international tour of TFIOS translation covers. In a shocking twist, none of them feature feet OR whispering girls. In addition to all this, John offers a compromise in regard to the outstanding punishments.
Épisode 74 - Why The Rich Pay Lower Taxes
31 août 2012
In which Hank takes on some fascinatingly boring stuff about the U.S. tax code, what sorts of incomes there are, how tax brackets work, and why rich people pay a substantially lower tax rate than most people in America. And then he makes some value judgements and expresses some opinions which are not necessarily the opinions of his brother, and are obviously the opinions of a guy who is not an economist. But really? It just doesn't seem fair.
Épisode 75 - The Five Worst Places to Vomit
4 septembre 2012
In which John discusses very bad places to vomit, even worse than "in a urinal," using both personal experience and historical examples.

Can you really sell your soul (no) Can you really tip a cow (no) Can you really curve a bullet (lord...NO!) Can you really make money blogging (yes!) Can you really fry an egg on the sidewalk (depends on where you are) Can you really die from a broken heart (oddly enough, yes) Can you really get rid of cellulite (yes) Can you really get a free iPad (almost certainly not) Can you really light a fart (OF COURSE!) Can you really start a fire with an orange (no)
Épisode 77 - The Abandoned Ferris Wheel Spins Anyway
11 septembre 2012
In which the ferris wheel from the long-abandoned Berlin amusement park Spreepark continues to spin, thereby providing inspiration to us all. (the best i could do with both camera and computer broken. RIP My Computer, June 2012 - September 2012)
Épisode 78 - 1000 VIDEOS!!!
14 septembre 2012
In which Hank celebrates the creation of 1000 Vlogbrothers videos. It's a bit of a clip show. I can hardly believe we've been able to do this. To create such a huge body of work and to be part of an even larger movement of creation, both in terms of the huge growth in online video and what that has allowed, and in terms of the community of Nerdfighters and what we create together. I'm astounded every day by the kindness, intelligence, support, and awesome of this community, and I really can't imagine being any luckier.
Épisode 79 - Existential Airport Anxiety
18 septembre 2012
In which John yells in an airport while discussing the so-called information society, the proliferation of public television screens, and devices of distraction. This is my response to the second half of Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451, which the nerdfighter book club read this summer. Also quoted is David Foster Wallace's excellent if totally unfinished novel The Pale King.
Épisode 80 - You. Must. Vote.
21 septembre 2012
Sorry non-US people...you should also vote, if you can, but I don't know when your elections are. It's simple, we have a responsibility to make an informed vote so that America will move forward on a path that was decided by the entire electorate.
Épisode 81 - Do Businesses Need to Suck?
25 septembre 2012
In which John discusses the future of DFTBA Records, a business that endeavors not to suck.

28 septembre 2012

Épisode 83 - What To Do With Your Life
2 octobre 2012
In which John answers the oft-asked question, "How do I figure out what to do with my life?" Along the way, he discusses adulthood, careers, movies, and the meaning of life and stuff.
Épisode 84 - 21st Century Sherlock: A Sherlock / Doors Song
5 octobre 2012
We recently did a Truth or Fail on Sherlock Holmes (http://www.youtube.com/truthorfail) and one of the rounds was entitled "21st Century Sherlock" which inspired me to do this. I'm just kinda devastated the Season 3 of Sherlock is so far away...it's just a terrible thing to do to a person.
Épisode 85 - Attacked by Squirrels and Neoclassicism: Thoughts from Places, Washington D.C.
9 octobre 2012
In which John is threatened by an utterly fearless squirrel and contemplates the neoclassical architecture of our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Along the way, he and the Yeti visit several museums; look at the art of China's most important living artist, Ai Weiwei; visit the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the World War II Memorial; and consider the history of cars that are also boats.
Épisode 86 - Human Sexuality is Complicated...
12 octobre 2012
In which Hank takes on a topic he's been afraid to cover for a while now. How should we talk about sexuality, what is the difference between sex and gender...and between sexual orientation and sexual behavior. It's very interesting...and I think understanding it is a key to decreasing the amount of hate and self-hate out there.
Épisode 87 - Burning Peeps, My OTP, and Velociraptors: It's Question Tuesday
16 octobre 2012
A Question Tuesday video in which John addresses a broad range of questions from nerdfighters, discussing Gandalf, microwaved peeps, dinosaurs, his books, and much more along the way.
Épisode 88 - Revolutionizing Education...With Weirdos
19 octobre 2012
I am at the conference right now, so I actually can't write a proper description here...but online video education...is good. And exciting. Much love to YouTube for promoting this stuff and much love to all the people below, who everyone should check out.
Épisode 89 - Understanding the National Debt and Budget Deficit
23 octobre 2012
In which John discusses the US national debt, the federal budget deficit, plans for shrinking or eliminating the deficit, and tries to provide some context to the political rhetoric and statistics that are constantly thrown around in an election season. Along the way, I hope you'll understand why the United States' sovereign debt hasn't led us to an economic crisis, but also why budget deficits need to shrink in order to ensure that credit remains inexpensive and the US continues to enjoy the trust of the world economy. (Friendly reminder: Educational videos, by extensive precedent, are allowed to be longer than 4:00.) Here's why I think the gold standard is a bad idea: 1. By restricting money supply to the supply of gold, you risk shrinking the money supply just because of a shock leading to a disruption in supply from mining. This creates a lot of volatility in the money supply for no reason. 2. The gold standard limits a government's ability to respond to changes in the market, which can (and has) led to unescapable deflationary spirals. 3. Far from inspiring investor confidence, its implementation would crush it
Épisode 90 - Apples! CGP Grey Style
26 octobre 2012
In which Hank tells you some things you probabably didn't really need to know about apples...but that's OK right?
Épisode 91 - TINY BALLS! Nerds Do Vegas.
30 octobre 2012
In which John visits Las Vegas and discusses proper casino gambling strategies, particularly relating to the game of roulette, which features--like all good and noble things in this world--a tiny ball. John also shows off his mad shaving skills and laments that Paris (Las Vegas) is not Paris (France). For all of you who miss old-school vlogbrothers videos: HERE, I MADE YOU ONE.
Épisode 92 - Disney Buys Star Wars and DFTVA!
2 novembre 2012
In which Hank talks about all of the crazy things going on including Disney's acquisition of LucasFilm, Hurricane Sandy, Darcy Day, Assassin's Creed 3, and the U.S. Elections. He also coughs a lot.
Épisode 93 - Policy and Politics: Brotherhood 2.0 Week Begins
4 novembre 2012
In which John discusses the tax proposals of the two major candidates for President while arguing against the hysterical rhetoric that marks contemporary political discourse. This is the first of six consecutive daily videos Hank and I will be making to fulfill the first of our two outstanding punishments. Also discussed: the difference between ordinary income and capital gains, and the theory behind taxing capital gains at a lower rate than ordinary income (which both candidates favor, just to different degrees).
Épisode 94 - Spicy Summer Camp Story
5 novembre 2012
In which Hank decides to take a break from the intensity of the election to tell you a spicy tale from his past as a summer camp counselor.
Épisode 95 - Terrible at Frenching: My Spicy Summer Camp Story
6 novembre 2012
In which John discusses his trials and travails as an amateur french kisser and tries to tell an ACTUAL spicy summer camp story, instead of one about freaking spices. Also, he takes you to his polling place, briefly discusses voting with the Yeti, and encourages you to vote. It's all kissing and politics, basically.
Épisode 96 - The 51st State
7 novembre 2012
In which Hank discusses the historical nature of yesterday's election, and how a bunch of Americans who don't live in America may end up having the most significant impact of all. But then again, maybe not. Not only would Puerto Rico's statehood be a very uphill battle to a supermajority in Congress, it also remains an extremely divisive issue with the commonwealth. But it is fascinating that Puerto Rico remains, in effect, a colony of the United States and has been an autonomous country for all of four weeks (after the Spanish gave it up and before the US took possession) in it's 500 year history. It's important to note that the question on the ballot was an odd one (I didn't have time to talk about this in the video). It was a two-part question, first asking if people wanted to see Puerto Rico's status change (a majority did) and then asking, if it did, how they would like it to change (even if they had just said that they /didn't/ want it to change.) A large number of people did not answer the second question, indicating that the majority that favored statehood may have been overwhelmed by the people who didn't want any chance mixed with the people who wanted full independence or a different commonwealth status. Nonetheless, the portion of Puerto Rico favoring statehood continues to increase, and this is an issue that we will have to face some day.
Épisode 97 - VOLT! A Dream Comes True.
8 novembre 2012
In which John's wish to own a Chevy Volt, which is almost exactly as old as the vlogbrothers channel itself, finally comes true. (Also, I think this is the first time we've ever made a video in the "autos and vehicles" category of YouTube.)
Épisode 98 - The Stadium of Representatives: The End of B20 Week 🙁
9 novembre 2012
In which Hank is jealous that John got a Volt. And then he explains the whole "house of representatives" thing, which, yes...is weird.
Épisode 99 - I Was a Child Poet. And a Bad One.
13 novembre 2012
In which John shares some of his early writing, including a poem called "Bio Poem" that is well and truly humiliating in its lack of quality. I also discover and share many items from my past, including my old report cards and some Brotherhood 2.0 memorabilia. Also, I celebrate some good news: The Fault in Our Stars has been named one of the ten best books of 2012 by the editors at Amazon: http://t.co/TaDb008x
Épisode 100 - We're all Scared
16 novembre 2012
In which Hank discusses why life is so terrifying, and why that's OK.
Épisode 101 - Great at Being Terrible: The Florence Foster Jenkins Story
20 novembre 2012
In which John discusses the strange story of Florence Foster Jenkins, who gave the worst performance in the history of Carnegie Hall in 1944, and who is famous (and beloved) for being an absolutely fearless, and awful, singer. This video is a kind of response to Hank's brilliant video about creation and fear; also discussed is the importance of finding the places where your talents meet the world's needs and my limited physical flexibility. The bit I sing at the end is from "Love, Love, Love" by--you'll never guess--The Mountain Goats.
Épisode 102 - Black Friday: An Accident of History
23 novembre 2012
In which Hank answers the age old question "Why, on the day after we spend time being thankful for what we have, do we spend time wanting more?" It turns out it's just an accident of history, and we can thank Abraham Lincoln.

27 novembre 2012

In which John introduces the sixth annual Project for Awesome, when YouTube is taken over for one day by videos about charities. My Project for Awesome charity this year is Save the Children, an organization that has done amazing work with the nerdfighter community over the last five years and hopefully will continue to be a huge part of our community for years to come.
Épisode 110 - Meet the Team: The Missoula Office (And P4A and TheBrainScoop)
21 décembre 2012
We've been making Crash Course and SciShow for more than a year now and, of course, we can't do it by ourselves. So I wanted to take you around our offices a bit and introduce the people who help us make this stuff.
Épisode 111 - Nood Ood, Drums, Donuts, Fish, the USDA, P4A and SLEDDING!
28 décembre 2012
In which Hank is a little bit weird and has a hard time concentrating, but does eventually get around to the point...well...actually not really, I don't think there's much of a point to this one. Oh, and to answer the contemplative question I ask myself in the video...if two sets of identical twins got married to each other, the kids they have would be /biologically/ siblings, but of course /geneologically/ cousins. WEIRD RIGHT!!
Épisode 1 - Why Does Congress Suck?
1 janvier 2013
In which John Green seeks to explain why the United States congress has become so astonishingly inefficient that it can't even reach a compromise to avert disaster, and why--thanks to clever redistricting--most congresspeople are now incentivized not to work seriously on policy. Along the way there's a bit of historical context, a lot of frustration, some screaming, and a celebration of the beginning of the 7th year of the vlogbrothers channel. Thanks for sticking with us, nerdfighters. (And thanks for reading the entire dooblydoo!)
Épisode 2 - 53 Terrible Jokes!
4 janvier 2013
They're not actually terrible, most of them are actually pretty dang funny. Thanks to all the people who suggested jokes via Twitter (THERE WERE A LOT OF YOU!) these pretty much exclusively came from that search.
Épisode 3 - Addicted to the Internet
8 janvier 2013
In which John visits you from the distant past of Saturday in order to discuss his (possible) Internet addiction, why you won't find him in comments today, and Carnegie Hall.
Épisode 4 - On the Ownership of Ideas
11 janvier 2013

Épisode 8 - How to Make Friends
25 janvier 2013
In which Hank talks about friends, why they're important, and how we make them. TL;DR, don't take advantage of good friends, they are extremely important and very rare. Acquiring new ones is hard, especially inorganically...but you can increase your chances by finding places where you can have repeated, unplanned interactions with the same people, being receptive to people, and open to conversation. And, of course, thinking carefully about people, being thoughtful, and asking them to help you out every once in a while.
Épisode 9 - Across Three Continents: A Tale of Tumblr, Copyright, and Excellent Posters
29 janvier 2013
In which John discusses intellectual property, the complexity of protecting it, and the total insufficiency of current copyright law. The failure of copyright law has led to a kind of Wild West mentality here on the Internet, particularly on tumblr, where strange and complex collaborations happen every day. John happened across one such collaboration, fell in love with it, and then spent weeks trying to untangle the business of who, exactly, should own what.
Épisode 10 - Football For Nerds
1 février 2013
In which Hank talks about American Football (also known as Hand Egg) from the perspective of a nerd...particularly tackling the question of why this sport is so popular. I have just arrived in the UK and knew I wouldn't have time to make a video, so I filmed this before I left Missoula.

Épisode 12 - The Space Time Continuum: Thoughts from Dublin

20 mars 2013
In which John takes an unexpected visit to the gray speckled walls of America's airports to mull the role that advertising plays in shaping (and funding) online video content, at times incentivizing the popular over the significant. Also I just had dental surgery, so I'm in a great mood.
Épisode 24 - How Much is a Human Life Worth?
22 mars 2013
Once when I like 10 years old, I was sitting in a school auditorium...I looked at all the people, and the (required) fire exits in the room. And I thought to myself that there weren't enough doors to save everyone in every situation. In order to do that, you'd have to make the whole building doors...but it wasn't worth it...so there must be some calculus to determine how much trouble / money a human life was worth. I was right...and it's not an inhuman thing, it's important to know. And in this video, we talk about the monetary value of a human life. It's variable...depending on whether you're talking about selling the individual moments, or ending the life forever. But I don't think it should be...if we're willing to sell all the individual moments of our lives for $2M, why would we then value the act of not dying at far more than that? Maybe it's because we treasure our histories more than we treasure the moments yet to come, but that seems wrong to me.

26 mars 2013

Épisode 28 - North Korea: Explained
5 avril 2013
Is North Korea going to bomb us? Is North Korea a Threat? Is North Korea Communist? Why does North Korea Hate us? These (according to my extremely imprecise research) are the most common questions people in the world have about North Korea...I have done my best to answer these questions using mostly knowledge that I stole from a variety of sources around the internet over the course of a couple days of research.
Épisode 29 - Inside North Korea
9 avril 2013
In which John discusses life inside a North Korean concentration camp as reported by Shin Dong-hyuk, the only person ever known to have gotten out of North Korea after being born in the infamous Camp 14. The remarkable book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/0143122916

Épisode 32 - On Sexual Orientation, with Hannah, Ze, Tyler, and Meg
19 avril 2013
When I was growing up, the stigma surrounding homosexuality was so severe (not in my household, but in the broader culture) that I feared I was gay because of tiny little signs that actually had very little (or nothing) to do with sexuality (like enjoying the music of the Village People). That confusion was terrifying to me because this stuff just wasn't talked about culturally (even though my parents were super-supportive.) Because that was hard for me, I assume that it's hard for lots of other people, so I wanted to make a video about sexual orientation in a frank and adult way, talking about identity, love, sex, and attraction. But since my own experience is pretty limited (being pretty much totally straight) I asked some friends if they'd like to share their experiences and thoughts.
Épisode 33 - DOCTOR GREEN
23 avril 2013
In which John makes a video about his forthcoming entrance into the ranks of doctors. And visits the dentist. This is probably the most times in the history of nerdfighteria that the word "doctor" has been spoken without being followed by a single "Who."
Épisode 34 - Cat GIF Critique
26 avril 2013
In which Hank tries his hand at being a critic of the CAT GIF genre, a job that would require looking at cute things and being slightly witty. And while that might, at first, seem like a dream job, in fact, the best job for me is one where I get to do something new every day. Thanks to all of the cats in this video, and to the people who filmed them...I would totally give you credit if there was any way to track down the original creators of these images.
Épisode 35 - Animals Interrupt Sporting Events: A Critical Analysis
30 avril 2013
In which John discusses adorable animals interrupting sporting events, including such hits as Dog Pooping on Baseball Field, Goalkeeper Dog Catcher Fail, Pine Marten Invades Swiss Soccer Match, Drug Dog Wants to Play, Anfield Cat, and Squirrel at the US Open. It's kind of a weird video.
Épisode 36 - 17 Rants in 4 Minutes
3 mai 2013
In which Hank rants about seventeen different things that bug him. To be clear, this is not healthy and I kinda wish I hadn't done it because I was stressed out for the whole day after I filmed it. But, yeah, this stuff seriously annoys me.
Épisode 37 - The Clif Bars Go in the Jar Because Mice: An Office Tour
7 mai 2013
In which John takes you on a Cribs-style visit to the Indianapolis headquarters of Crash Course, mental_floss, and the Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers.

10 mai 2013
Google's new Earth Engine, powered by NASA's landsat satellites, gives a time lapse view of (pretty much) every land surface on earth over the last 25 years. The view is amazing, and inspiring, and at times terrifying. It can be hard to understand the scale here, but our impacts on this planet are huge, and at this point it's clear that we're putting ourselves in a bit of a tight spot.
Épisode 39 - Puppies, Pegasi, and TFiOS Casting: It's Question Tuesday

If you live in or near Indianapolis, you should really see the show. It's very special, and will be here until July 21st.
Épisode 42 - What's Up with Start Ups
24 mai 2013
I'm just getting a little sick of the system that values aggregators of content more than creators of content, and presumes some kind of magical future where owning users free time results in lots of money.
Épisode 43 - NERD FACTOR! (...And Why I Fear for Tumblr)
28 mai 2013

7 juin 2013

WELCOME, ALICE!!! I'm so excited for John. I have talked to him, of course, a bunch since last week. He's really excited and way less freaked out than he was when Henry was born. Of course, he's exhausted, but he's also adorable. He's enjoying the time with his family a lot. It's really weird not to just lose him of YouTube but also largely off Tumblr and Twitter, but let's try not to forget about him while he's gone!
Épisode 47 - How To Be John Green

In which Craig teaches you everything you need to know about being John Green.

Épisode 54 - Egypt....Explained!
5 juillet 2013
***EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS ARE EXEMPT FROM TIME LIMITS :-p*** The situation in Egypt is extremely complicated and changing constantly. The arguments between the military and the Muslim Brotherhood go back over half a century and they are much more complicated than the press tends to give them credit for. I just wanted to share a tiny bit of context to help the world understand the different stakeholders, what they want, why they're angry, and why the first democratically elected leader of Egypt lasted so little time. Thank you very much to Mohktar Awad for spending so much time on the phone with me yesterday setting me straight!

23 juillet 2013
In which secret sister Maureen Johnson shares her Internet wisdom and talks about how best to have a discussion with trolls online.
Épisode 60 - Introducing Subbable
26 juillet 2013
Advertising doesn't care how you feel about content, and we are afraid that, if the current system stands, content that people love and connect to (which is necessarily difficult to make, and doesn't appeal as broadly) will become rare while content that is distracting (which is universally appealing) will be the norm. Subbable is our attempt to slow that trend...even to stop it. But it's not a problem that can be solved by technology...it must be solved by people.
Épisode 61 - Paternity Leave Ends! And I Find Myself...
30 juillet 2013

Épisode 62 - 17 Air Travel Tips
2 août 2013
In which Hank imparts some wisdom that he has gained through the last four years of getting on planes once every four months. An act that, to be clear, makes my carbon footprint so dramatically higher than average that I am deeply embarrassed by my own life.
Épisode 63 - Esther Day 2013
3 août 2013
Happy Esther Day, nerdfighteria. Tell someone you love them today. Even if it's hard. Especially if it's hard, really.

Épisode 67 - Harry Potter vs. Science!
16 août 2013
In which Hank makes a video deciding what to make a video about...for real, while sitting on a bench in Tower Hill in London at night and screaming at his camera while people walk by. It has been an interesting trip to the UK 🙂
Épisode 68 - Why Are American Health Care Costs So High?
20 août 2013
In which John discusses the complicated reasons why the United States spends so much more on health care than any other country in the world, and along the way reveals some surprising information, including that Americans spend more of their tax dollars on public health care than people in Canada, the UK, or Australia. Who's at fault? Insurance companies? Drug companies? Malpractice lawyers? Hospitals? Or is it more complicated than a simple blame game? (Hint: It's that one.)
Épisode 69 - Thoughts from Bath: The Legacy of Wealth
23 août 2013
In which Hank hangs out with Charlie in Charlie's home town. Charlie pretty much said "I won't take you to Bath if you don't make a Thoughts from Places video about it." So, yeah, this was a required assignment. 🙂
Épisode 70 - On the TFIOS Movie Set

He discusses the fascinating cases of Henry Reich (creator of http://www.youtube.com/minutephysics) and Hank Green (creator of, you know, all this) and how in a world without health care reform, their careers might look very different. John argues that employer-dependent health insurance privileges employees over entrepreneurs, thus limiting innovation, growth, and job creation.
Épisode 73 - Undigested Lump (A Song)
6 septembre 2013
In which Hank sings a song that is mostly Shakespearean insults, and talks about his own broken reasons for not writing much music for the last year or so. Also, announces that he's working on an album!

Thanks to everyone involved with the movie (and Fox!) for letting me run around with a camera everywhere, and for their dedication to the story.
Épisode 75 - Syria in Five Minutes
13 septembre 2013
In which Hank discusses the situation in Syria as deeply and completely as he can in five minutes. Negotiations are ongoing as to whether and how chemical weapons will be removed from Syria. This is an opportunity for the global community, but for the people of Syria, no matter how this discussion goes, there will be years of bloody conflict. We cannot prevent that, but we can help individual people.
Épisode 76 - Question Tuesday with Nat Wolff (aka Isaac in The Fault in Our Stars movie)
17 septembre 2013
In which John Green and Nat Wolff sneak off The Fault in Our Stars film set to answer some of your questions in the woods. Nothing creepy about it.
Épisode 77 - 42 Amazing Maps
20 septembre 2013
The map, as an innovation, is extremely important. Simply constructing a useful representation of our world onto a piece of paper (or clay or vellum or whatever) vastly increased the capabilities of humankind. But we continue to add and alter this medium, in ways that allow for greater understanding of our world and even of ourselves. So in this video I talk about 42 maps that are really amazing.
Épisode 78 - Started from the Bottom: Benjamin Franklin and Drake Compared
24 septembre 2013
In which John compares the Drake song "Started from the Bottom (Now We Here)" with Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography, two American dream narratives that turn out to be significantly more complex and problematic than they initially seem.
Épisode 79 - Invalid Arguments: Climate Change
27 septembre 2013
There are only a few topics that seem less obvious but more hotly debated than climate change. It's here, it's happening, it's caused by humanity, and it is one of the largest problems humanity will ever face. But I believe we will face it, and we'll face it with the desperate ingenuity and bravado with which we have faced our entire history on this planet. And we will survive it, as long as we can finally freaking agree that "it" isn't a conspiracy theory made up to annoy the rich and powerful.
Épisode 80 - The Lowdown on the Shutdown
1 octobre 2013
John had a special video planned for today, but then the government shut down so we decided to switch so I could stay up until 3 am figuring out wtf is up with the shutdown and make a video about it.
Épisode 81 - Q&A with Ansel Elgort and Mike Birbiglia from The Fault in Our Stars Movie Set
4 octobre 2013
In which John asks Ansel Elgort (who plays Augustus Waters) and Mike Birbiglia (who plays Patrick) some real questions from real nerdfighters while on the set of The Fault in Our Stars movie. Also: Enjoy the cutest how-I-found-out-I-got-the-part story ever from Ansel.
Épisode 82 - Applying for Health Insurance: Then and Now
8 octobre 2013
In which John Green attempts to apply for new health insurance coverage using the Affordable Care Act's insurance exchanges and then through a private insurer that existed before the ACA (aka Obamacare) went into effect. It's of course too soon to tell which of these options will be cheaper, which will offer the best coverage, and so on, but I wanted to explore how the (still very glitchy) exchanges compare to the pre-ACA experience of trying to get approved for coverage.
Épisode 83 - TFiOS Movie, Emma Approved, Subbable Update, etc

Épisode 86 - Question Tuesday: The Fault in Our Stars Movie Edition
22 octobre 2013
In which John answers real questions from real nerdfighters about the movie adaptation of his book The Fault in Our Stars while also disagreeing with Hank about what the greatest human quality is.
Épisode 87 - When Was it a Million Seconds Ago?
25 octobre 2013

Épisode 88 - Perspective

Épisode 89 - Scarier than Gravity: Real Life Close Calls in Space
1 novembre 2013

Épisode 91 - VidCon, Punishments, Comments, and Pumpkins
8 novembre 2013
Every year, one of my favorite things to do is take the music of a YouTuber and edit it together with clips from VidCon. It's always epic and fun and surprising and awesome and there's just so much amazing footage from the event. This year I edited to Mike Diva's BFD
Épisode 92 - But Is Worm Pizza Poisonous?
12 novembre 2013
In which John discusses Dr. Aaron Carroll's new project, Health Care Triage, as well as some astonishing facts about human health that he learned from Dr. Carroll's books, Don't Swallow Your Gum and Don't Cross Your Eyes.

15 novembre 2013
In which Hank introduces you to the people he is making an album with...with a towel over his camera...for sound reasons.
Épisode 94 - On Middle School Misery
19 novembre 2013
In which John rides the train and thinks about misery and bullying in middle school.
Épisode 95 - How to Apologize like a Fartbag
22 novembre 2013
In which Hank talks about apologies. I've been thinking about it a lot because some of my good friends did dumb things, realized how dumb they were, and made very good apologies, not because they're good at apologizing but because the legitimately feel bad for the harm that they've caused. On the other hand, some other people on the internet seem perpetually convinced that the world is out to get them and that they are in a battle to confirm that they are always right. But, y'know, you're never always right, and the fact that you didn't intend to hurt someone has no bearing on whether or not you hurt someone. ChescaLeigh's video was really helpful for me and is more specific to when you get called out on being inappropriate or hurting an entire group of people with your language or actions...she is REALLY AMAZING... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8xJXKYL8pU
Épisode 96 - The Bank of Nerdfighteria
26 novembre 2013
In which John discusses the forthcoming 2013 Project for Awesome, the health of the Bank of Nerdfighteria, the strength of Toby Turner's arms, the nerdfighter kiva group, and the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck. Oh, and there is a surprise. The Foundation is now a real, actual charity, which means your donations are now tax-deductible. (At least in the U.S.) You can donate directly at http://fightworldsuck.org/. Thanks to very generous anonymous contributors to the Foundation, every dollar you donate up to $125,000 will be matched. And because the Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck has 0 overhead, every penny you donate will go to p4a charities chosen by the nerdfighter community.

3 décembre 2013

Épisode 99 - I Am President Snow
6 décembre 2013
In which Hank discusses The Hunger Games, the extreme inequality of our society, and what it means to be a citizen of The Capitol. Inequality is so difficult to fight in our world because there is no President Snow. I'm not saying that there are no bad people, but inequality is natural, and so we can't hate ourselves for being a part of it. But because it is so inevitable, we have to create structures to reduce it, because inequality is terrible both morally and economically.
Épisode 100 - Cooking with a 3-Year-Old: Slobber Carrots and Gross Barbecue
10 décembre 2013

Épisode 105 - The Kidney That Was In 3 People - And Other Amazing Science Things
27 décembre 2013
In which Hank discusses some of the coolest things he's learned while answering people's questions about the world. Often times, I have to say, these questions start out with "This is probably a stupid question, but..." when really, any curiosity is good curiosity...and people who expect all people to know all things are the real idiots.
Épisode 106 - GOOD NEWS: 14 Reasons 2014 May Be the Best Year Ever
31 décembre 2013

The world's poorest areas are growing faster than the rest of the world. More people (especially girls) have educational opportunities. The Internet is getting faster. Cancer mortality is decreasing. And the Colts are in the NFL playoffs. In short, there are many reasons to be hopeful that 2014 might be the best year on record for humans, even if much of this growth is not (currently) sustainable.
Épisode 1 - The Golden Gate Bridge Didn't Collapse!!
3 janvier 2014

Épisode 6 - Are Poor Countries Doomed?
21 janvier 2014
In which John discusses the three myths at the center of Bill and Melinda Gates's 2013 annual letter: 1. Poor countries are NOT doomed to remain poor. 2. Foreign aid is NOT a waste of money. (In fact, health aid at least is an astonishingly good investment.) 3. Saving children's lives does NOT lead to overpopulation. (In fact, decreasing infant mortality has consistently slowed population growth all over the world.)

Épisode 13 - Happy Third Chocolate Day!
14 février 2014
In which Hank discusses the Valentine's day, one of the three candy-based holidays in America. Why do we have candy-based holidays in America? I don't know, probably because we get to choose the gods we worship and the god we've chosen is chocolate. We could do worse. Also, he discusses the Olympics and how weird they are and why we value these weird things and how it doesn't really matter why because caring is valuable for it's own sake.

28 février 2014
In which Hank breaks down the costs of various kinds of fun...though, of course, not all funs are created equal. I do want to say that, whatever you enjoy, don't let anyone belittle that for you. I was kinda disparaging toward TV...but I also love TV...I just don't know if I could love it 34 hours per week. The point of enjoyment is enjoyment so...yeah...whatever floats your boat!

Épisode 19 - Thoughts from a Cruise
7 mars 2014
I went on a cruise...which is not something I ever thought I'd do. It was marvelous and extremely peculiar and, yes, definitely made me feel guilty. But immensely valuable...not just because I go to do amazing things with amazing people, but because it helped me understand how hard we will work, how much we will pay, the crazy things we'll do...to get to community. People are hardly individuals, there is nothing so valuable as nestling into the warm comfort of a trusted community and I'm so happy to have that and, occasionally, to be able to help others get to it.

Épisode 53 - 13 Things to Know about Concerts
4 juillet 2014
Going to shows has always made me anxious, but I also tend to find them to be uniquely wonderful experiences that I can't imagine missing after their over. So I wanted to offer up some advice for people who might be nervous about going to shows. A couple of things I thought of after I made the video include: 1. Make sure that you're headed to a part of town you'll be safe in and have a very good and stable plan for getting home. 2. It's usually pretty easy to meet performers after the show, but they often have to move their own equipment and the venue will require them to be out by a certain time, so understand if they can't hang. If you have any other advice, make sure to list it in the comments.

8 juillet 2014
In which John discusses dragons, dinosaurs, and the future of the nerdfighter community, including more IRL nerdfighter gatherings, more ways to learn through Crash Course, more charity projects year-round, thinking about how and whether to add pre-roll advertisements to the vlogbrothers channel, and the fact that WE ARE GOING TO BE ON AFC WIMBLEDON'S SHORTS. What would you like to see more/less of in nerdfighteria in the future? Let us know in comments.

Épisode 57 - EVERY VLOGBROTHERS PUNISHMENT!
18 juillet 2014

Épisode 58 - Ambiguous Victories and Real Progress: Behind the Beautiful Forevers
22 juillet 2014

Épisode 59 - Towering Mountains of Ignorance
25 juillet 2014
This was a somewhat challenging topic to take on in four minutes, so here's a little more explanation. I'm not saying that we don't know things...we know lots of things. But particularly when it comes to social and cultural and economic stuff, we really don't. It's so hard to run experiments on the real world, that we tend to do the studies and then no one changes their mind and everyone explains the data in a different way. But you can run the "Harry Potter" experiment again with different inputs because "Harry Potter" can only happen once. Of course, there are people who are much better at guessing than other people because they know much more about the situations. People who understand, at least, what is and is not possible (which is an excellent place to start if you're trying to, say, create an independent Palestinian state.) Same goes for running a business...you will never take the most successful course, because there are infinite courses and only one maximum one. But some people are very good at finding good courses because they understand their customers and their markets and their employees and have fairly accurate constructions of reality as it relates to their business. But the idea that it is the responsibility of every person to have an opinion on everything that matters...and then cling to that opinion as an important part of their identity, sucks. I don't like it. I would rather we discuss these things in terms of values, which is really where our opinions tend to arise from anyhow. So when asked "how do we create more jobs in America" we don't really try to answer that question. We try to answer the question "How do we create more jobs in America while promoting our own personal values?" For things like "How do you end a war" or "How do you feed hungry people" or "How do you eliminate poverty?" I'm going to admit straight up that I don't know...and defer to the experts because they know a heck of a lot more than me. I do
Épisode 60 - Listen: Thoughts from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
29 juillet 2014

Épisode 61 - PUNISHMENT OF PAIN AND SCIENCE!
1 août 2014
In which Hank is Punished by sharing the science of pain while he experiences various forms of pain. If you're wondering, the most painful thing I did, oddly enough, was the brain freeze. I think I pushed it past the place where you would normally get a brain freeze by a couple of slurpee sips and that caused a really significant ouch. Second most painful was the funny bone....then the muscle stress.
Épisode 62 - Happy Esther Day!
3 août 2014
Today is the day to tell someone you love them...even if it's hard...especially if it's hard. You can support This Star Won't Go Out, the charity created by Esther's family in her memory, at http://www.tswgo.org or by buying TSWGO stuff: http://dftba.com/artist/58/This-Star-... (All proceeds to go to the foundation.)
Épisode 63 - Who Owns a Monkey's Selfie? And a Song About Meningitis!
8 août 2014
Due to brain fog, I didn't explain any of the copyright stuff particularly well, but (in summation) a photographer is suing the Wikimedia Foundation (the people who create Wikipedia) for acting as if a photograph is in the public domain when he believes it is not. The only way to determine who is correct is to have a judge decide...that's how copyright law works, which is really weird. I mean, the question also becomes, if I drop my camera and it takes a really great shot...do I own that picture or not, just because the force of gravity took it. Also, I'm curious whether the work of a non-human owned by a human (like a dog) would pass to that human. Just like something created by a piece of computer software would be owned by the person who owns the software. It doesn't change this case because no one owns that monkey. ANYHOW! Feel better John, and let's hope Calvin Harris doesn't sue us 🙂
Épisode 64 - EBOLA! (...meningitis)
12 août 2014
In which John is diagnosed with ebola by the Internet but turns out to be suffering from viral meningitis. How should we imagine novel diseases and how should we combat them? And why do we only focus on diseases that we fear will affect "us"? How does the way we imagine "us" shape the way we respond to disease outbreaks? Questions like that are examined while meningitis headaches are lamented.
Épisode 65 - The Bizarre State of Copyright
15 août 2014
In which Hank discusses what intellectual property is, and how copyright is increasingly being policed by dumb robots that don't have very much to do with the law, but have everything to do with it just being REALLY COMPLICATED and there being terrifyingly massive amounts of media to regulate.

Épisode 68 - Food Is Weird: Understanding Agriculture in the Developing World
26 août 2014
In which John Green flies in a helicopter with Bill Gates in Ethiopia, investigates a new form of cursing, and discusses agricultural reform--specifically, how the UN's World Food Program is trying to improve maize yields in Ethiopia. If you can break the vicious cycle of low incomes leading to low harvests, agricultural productivity per hectare (NOT HECTACRE) can increase dramatically, as we've seen in China and Brazil. It seems boring, I know, but this is a big reason hundreds of millions of people have emerged from poverty in the past 30 years. So hopefully it will happen in Ethiopia! But, as usual, the truth resists simplicity.
Épisode 69 - What's the Difference Between A and Z
29 août 2014

Épisode 74 - Hanging with High School Hank
12 septembre 2014
In which Hank goes through a lot of old stuff that he found in his house while moving. Nostalgia is weird...someday I'll be watch this video and feel nostalgic about feeling nostalgic... My instagram is hankgreen, if you want to see those little John and Hank pictures 🙂 Very excited about the new house...we will have more room for PROJECTS! And no, not small-human projects.

30 septembre 2014
In which John discusses his overwhelmedness, his confusion, his health, and the priorities of the nerdfighter community. Thanks to everyone who participated in the survey helping us to understand what you guys want us to make, and thanks again to all who helped raise so much money to bring clean water to people in Ethiopia: http://water.org/johngreen
Épisode 82 - Hong Kong Protests Explained
3 octobre 2014
Why won't China let Hong Kong have free elections? Has Hong Kong ever had free elections? What is Hong Kong even? Why can't China just lay off? What's going on here? Why can't the world JUST BE STABLE!? Thank you to Hong Kong Nerdfighters for helping keep me informed, and my research-helper people who have elected to remain unnamed despite the fact that they are some of the world's foremost experts on China and totally just let me call them and chat.
Épisode 83 - I Kind of Hate Batman
7 octobre 2014
In which John reveals why he thinks Batman kind of sucks, both as a billionaire and as a Superhero. A couple edits: 1. Obviously some crime is caused by horrible sociopathic monsters. 2. Bruce Wayne has done SOME constructive stuff for Gotham. Like he built a mass transit system, although it was of course later destroyed. But also, to be fair, Bruce Wayne did many other things for Gotham in some of the comics series, including funding hospitals and schools and the police department. (NOT IN THE MOVIES, THOUGH.) 3. I did not acknowledge the existence of my massive nose zit in this video. That was a mistake, and I apologize for it.
Épisode 84 - I Kinda AM Batman
10 octobre 2014
In which Hank rebuts John's stance on Batman by observing that Batman is not a fantasy of individuals, but a personification of anger and frustration at injustice AND our collective ability to act to make the world better. And then he proposes his own reason for being frustrated with Batman...because if he (and every other title-card, mass-culture hero) is supposed to personify and thus represent all of us...why do they always represent the same groups over and over and over again?
Épisode 85 - A Minor Crisis
14 octobre 2014
In which John discusses three things, that quickly become seven, including AFC Wimbledon's stunning and beautiful victories (both IRL and IFIFA), the bank of nerdfighteria's current situation, the tenth anniversary edition of his first novel, Hank's unexpected appearance on his television, and his burgeoning midlife crisis.
Épisode 86 - MY FACE ON A BUS

Épisode 95 - The History of Pizza John!
12 novembre 2014
In which Hank is, ok, maybe a little overwhelmed...but also attempts to condense the spirit of eight years of Vlogbrothers into a single anecdote and maybe doesn't do too bad of a job. Also, since he's the person writing this description, that was a pretty egotistical thing to say.
Épisode 96 - The History of Pizza and the History of John: Pizzamas Day 4
13 novembre 2014

19 décembre 2014
In which Hank edits together a ton of the best moments from this year's Project for Awesome. Of course, no one can be there for all of it but, this way, you can catch a glimpse! I'd like to edit together some of the more intriguing episodes, but this will have to do for now. Thank you all so much for your giving your time, talent, and/or money. The Project for Awesome really is unique in the world of giving, and the charities we give to are always so astounded and enthused by what is often surprising but very needed money. Thank you all.

Thanks to everyone at AFC Wimbledon for their hospitality and support. I can't tell you how many hundreds of people came up to me and told me how much the nerdfighter community's support means to them.
Épisode 4 - 14 Fart Facts for my Flatulent Friends
9 janvier 2015
The crazy thing is I had to cut like five fart facts from this video because I just had TOO MUCH GOOD FART STUFF! Maybe I'll make a video with some more fart facts in the future. If you can't tell...I like farts. I think they're funny and nothing to be ashamed of (though I don't go out of my way to fart loudly at dinner parties like SOME PEOPLE I KNOW! JEFF!)

Also he illegally downloads his own novel.
Épisode 16 - Why Are Fewer People Studying Science and Engineering?

Épisode 20 - WE WON! Net Neutrality and Re-Thinking Cynicism
6 mars 2015
Winning in politics is often bizarre, drawn out, incremental, and ultimately a surprise. As such, winning often doesn't feel that good. But I think it's very important to take a bit of time when it happens to enjoy it. And also to recognize that the win would not have happened without the people who worked hard to lobby and bug their congresspeople and force a decision down the throat of a bunch of unhappy corporations. So thank you so much to everyone who campaigned to keep the internet neutral.
Épisode 21 - Travel Tips (and Paper Towns Movie Updates)

13 mars 2015
Épisode 23 - What Are Paper Towns?
17 mars 2015
In which John discusses paper towns, paper streets, mountweazels, and other fictitious entries. Why do encyclopedia editors and lexicographers and cartographers occasionally make things up on purpose?

Épisode 24 - A Sacrifice of Individuality and the Internets
20 mars 2015
In which Hank talks about the weirdness of individuality in the internet age where the crowd is distributed and often alone...acting individually and making individual decisions, but being understood as some massive, unthinking herd.

Épisode 25 - Is Obamacare Working? The Affordable Care Act Five Years Later
24 mars 2015

Épisode 42 - 15 Rants in Four Minutes
22 mai 2015
In which Hank is Angry About Stuff, because sometimes you just gotta let it out (and also because, when he asked, Twitter said that they'd prefer him angrily raving than just being funny.) Rants are a weird thing, I don't think they're particularly healthy, but I do think they're entertaining. The main thing I want to avoid is getting angry at individual people...unless they're endagering others or clearly breaking a social contract (STOP USING YOUR CELL PHONES IN THE MOVIE THEATER!!!)

Épisode 44 - 15 of My Favorite Feelings
29 mai 2015
It wasn't just hard to communicate this, it was surprisingly hard to come up with them. When we're confronted with negative experiences, we want to analyze them and think about them and remember them for future use. But with positive emotions, we often just feel them and enjoy them, which is wonderful, but also leads to us putting less weight on them and it seems like they take up less space in our minds. No one feels comfortable shouting at the world about how great their day was, or what a cool person they met. Recognizing and harping on the positive experiences we have is a great way, I think, to both have a better outlook on life, and have more positive experiences. So that's what I did in today's video.
Épisode 45 - Let's Go Outside
2 juin 2015
In which John continues this whole 15/16 thing by taking you on a walk in the woods and sharing 16 things he loves about being outside.

Épisode 49 - Why is College So Expensive?
12 juin 2015
College is a good deal, but it could be a much better deal. A combination of factors have driven the costs of higher education in America to increase extremely quickly, pricing some people out of an education and building over a trillion dollars in student loan debt. So why? Why did those costs increase and what are schools spending all that fat cash on. Turns out, it's pretty complicated.
Épisode 50 - Paper Towns Madrid with Nat Wolff! THE TOUR BEGINS
16 juin 2015
In which the European leg of the Paper Towns press tour begins in MADRID and John and Nat Wolff just keep swimming through crushing, world-ending jet lag.

Épisode 51 - 19 Ways to Not Suck on the Internet
19 juin 2015
In which Hank largely expands upon Wheaton's Law with some advice for building a better, more pleasant, more constructive internet. Of course, I would like to point out that the internet is a pretty great place as is and more good than bad occurs on and because of it. But we've all seen the hate and the anger and the flame wars and the unpleasantness, but we're all citizens of this place, and that citizenship will come with more and more responsibilities as it grows and matures.
Épisode 52 - Question Tuesday with Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff
23 juin 2015
In which Nat Wolff, Cara Delevingne, and John Green answer real questions from real nerdfighters. Topics discussed include Cara's eyebrows, anger toward bubbles, Nat's dream murders, unicorn hippos on treadmills in the Andes, and of course the riding of llamas.
Épisode 53 - How to Get Good at Everything
26 juin 2015
In which Hank talks about how to get good at stuff, which is begins with recognizing that you, like.../can/ and also recognizing that you're going to suck at first because WE ALL DO. So you shouldn't judge yourself based on the capabilities of people who have been developing skills their whole lives. Wow, now that I've written that here I feel like maybe I didn't need a whole video but that's basically what the video's about...
Épisode 54 - Some News
30 juin 2015
In which John finds himself in an airport and discusses some good news and some bad news, including his daughter's vomiting, the forthcoming Paper Towns movie tour, the special night-before movie event, his cameo in the film, and the hiring of director Becca Thomas to make an adaptation of Looking for Alaska. Also marriage equality and healthcare!
Épisode 55 - Thoughts from Yachts
3 juin 2015
In which Hank discusses the human condition and attempts to understand monstrous displays of wealth. There was a lot more I wanted to say on this topic but: 1. Four minute time limit and 2. It's really hard to talk about this stuff without getting judgy. The thing to remember is that, to many people, my house and computer and dog and air conditioner are monstrous displays of wealth. I, personally, have more money than 50% of Americans just by virtue of not having any debt. Albeit on a smaller scale, I make the same irrational purchasing decisions and choose my own very temporary pleasure over the alleviation of real suffering every single day. Part of that is just being required to participate in culture or else be very socially uncomfortable, but it's also just straight up selfishness. I do not know how to counteract this except through force, which is why I believe in taxes, even if I hate paying them :-).
Épisode 56 - Understanding the Financial Crisis in Greece
7 juillet 2015
In which John Green discusses the history of Greece's deficit and debt problems, the challenges of adopting the Euro and living with the Eurozone's monetary policy, and the possibility of the so-called Grexit--a Greek exit from the Euro.

Épisode 59 - Is YouTube Good for Humanity?
17 juillet 2015
Yes, when I get stressed out I start to question absolutely everything in my life which is probably not a really great strategy. VidCon starts this time next week...so it will be interesting to see if I can get a video done!
Épisode 60 - PAPER TOWNS IS HERE AND JOHN IS A BALL OF ANXIETY
21 juillet 2015
In which John is a bit anxious about the release of the Paper Towns movie.

28 juillet 2015

Épisode 63 - Why Paper Towns is Awesome

In which John answers real questions from real nerdfighters. Do let me know what tattoo you think I should get.
Épisode 66 - Is This Video Cool?
7 août 2015
In which Hank discusses his new obsession. There are /so many/ words for "Cool" because what is cool is always changing and we need new words to embody that new aesthetic. This has resulted in a wonderful and beautiful (and sometimes worrying) array of words that mean the same thing (cool) and yet different things (the cool of a particular place and time).
Épisode 67 - 454 Days: Understanding America's Ridiculous Political Campaigns
11 août 2015
In which John explores why he is not (yet) interested in the so-called Presidential Race, and discusses the U.S.'s campaign length in the context of other democracies. Side note that I couldn't fit into the video: The media is heavily invested in longer campaigns, because those campaigns buy ads on cable news (and on YouTube). I'll discuss that in another video. But for now, rest safe in the knowledge that I will not mention Donald Trump (or any other Presidential candidate in the 2016 Presidential election) until, like, 2016.
Épisode 68 - Corndog Ghost Attack, Book Towers, and Census
14 août 2015

Épisode 70 - Book Towers for Miles
21 août 2015
In which Hank shares the spectacular results for the 2015 book tower challenge...actually I only share a small percentage of the results because there were SO MANY! I downloaded all of them, but the ones I included in the video were just a random selection.
Épisode 71 - Question Tuesday: The Goat Edition
25 août 2015
In which Hank and John Green reunite to discuss goats--and very little else.
Épisode 72 - ALL of Wikipedia in One QR Code?
28 août 2015
In which Hank just gets really nerdy for a while trying to figure out whether it's possible to encode and decode all 24 TB of Wikipedia onto and from a single QR code. Please feel free to check my math and let me know if I got anything wrong.
Épisode 73 - The Road Less Traveled By
1 septembre 2015
In which Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" sends John down the wrong edge of the river, which then leads to a consideration of the poem, Frost's inspiration Edward Thomas, making choices, and how/whether literature can actually matter.
Épisode 74 - Addicted to Outrage
4 septembre 2015
I've been wanting to make this video for a long time, but it's a difficult topic for me both because I recognize the power that outrage has had in my life and in driving me to learn and to act, and also because I recognize that there are many legitimate reasons to be angry and the last thing I wan to do is tell people who have not had the tremendous privileges I have had how to experience their situation. But as I have watched the outrage cycle increase in potency and seen the negative affects as people put themselves deeper and deeper into these bubbles of toxic dehumanization, I'm legitimately worried for our future ability to handle difficult challenges in a timely manner.
Épisode 75 - Understanding the Refugee Crisis in Europe, Syria, and around the World
8 septembre 2015

Épisode 78 - Muslims Aren't Dangerous
18 septembre 2015
When I first thought maybe I would make this video I typed "Muslims Aren't Dangerous" into Google to see what other people had written on the subject, or if maybe I was imagining the need for this discussion, but all I found was article after article about how dangerous Muslims are. It was so sad, so discouraging, so angering. I would read those articles and find myself, not usually, but occasionally saying "Well, I suppose you do have a point" but, of course, they didn't. They were highlighting my own ignorances and bias...we know so little of each other...but what I have found is that the vast majority of people are good, and this debate rests wholly on the idea that that is not true of Muslims.
Épisode 79 - Is Poverty Necessary?

In which Hank dives into the mundane reality behind the bizarre reality of FLORIDA MAN!
Épisode 86 - John Green's Fiery Race Car Disaster
13 octobre 2015
In which John uses one of those clickbaity titles, but it is also the only accurate description of the video. John Green raced noted author and car enthusiast Maggie Stiefvater on a dirt track in Princeton, Minnesota, which led to these thoughts from that place.
Épisode 87 - Post-NerdCon Haze
16 octobre 2015
If the distribution systems available to stories affect what kind of stories get told, then think of all of the wonderful stories that simply aren't being told. Information that simply never had a way to get out in its most effective way. We all know that some stories are better movies than books, or better books than movies, but for so long publishing companies and book sellers (and book buyers) shunned short-format fiction because it didn't make sense financially. It was hard to ship around, not a great value for the reader, and hard to make money on for the publisher. So most short-form media we ingested was video or non-fiction (magazine articles.) But now that there's a simple system for digital content, suddenly serialized novels and novellas are in high demand. The kind of content that wasn't produced for a generation now has an audience again. But what about all of those amazing short stories and novellas that we didn't get in the intervening time?! Maybe all of those creators were writing novels and we got great work out of them but, then again, maybe we didn't. And now we have all of this infrastructure built up around novels. not just in book stores, but in our own minds! The idea of novels, their importance. Not to mention the fact that most classes you can and will take will focus on that format because that's the format that has, for the most part, existed. And teachers might even discourage students from publishing in other formats because they're "not legitimate" or because the teachers grew up in a world where there was no market for that. But instead, in this video, I mostly just yell at you without saying anything because my brain is totally fried. HOPE YOU DON'T MIND!

20 octobre 2015

Épisode 89 - Benghazi: Explained
23 octobre 2015
The controversy surrounding the tragic attack in Benghazi has come to be a pivotal point in American politics, and also in the history of Libya. After eight congressional committee investigations it appears more and more like the continued investigation is far more about politics than it is about policy.
Épisode 90 - Understanding YouTube Red: Paid Subscriptions and the Future of Online Video
27 octobre 2015
In which John discusses YouTube's new paid subscription service, YouTube Red. Is it good for creators? Is it good for viewers? And what are the risks and benefits of advertising models vs. subscription models?
Épisode 91 - Feeling Thankful in Portland
30 octobre 2015
In which Hank realizes that he not only is in, but also /is/ Portland. Also in which Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor get the news that their book is a New York Times Best-Seller. Also in which Hank feels thankful for the support of Nerdfighteria and for the wonderful situation he has found himself in.
Épisode 92 - Monkey Hangers
3 novembre 2015
In which John Green discusses the hanging of monkeys in Hartlepool during the Napoleonic Wars, and the very strange afterlife of a single, possibly French, probably fictional monkey.
Épisode 93 - Announcing VidCon 2016! June 23 - 25 (and Pizzamas 2015!)
6 novembre 2015
THE VIDEO HAS THE WRONG DATES! It's June 23 - 25th NOT JULY! Just before uploading this video I was looking at the content schedule for VidCon 2016 (which obviously we haven't really started filling in yet) but just seeing all of the space for all of the things we're going to have is both extremely exciting and...y'know a little intimidating. I'm really excited about 2016 and continuing to do this cool thing. Thanks to everyone who has supported VidCon in the past, and to all of the people who can't come...don't worry...the real celebration of online video happens right here on the internet every day.

Épisode 96 - Watch This If You Want To Smile (Pizzamas Day 3)
11 novembre 2015
In which Hank explores uncontrolled excitement, where it comes from, how it feels, and how it is just WONDERFUL. This experience is universal, but I think we tamp it down inside ourselves after a certain age. Yes, the world is complicated. Yes there are bad things in it. Yes, if you're totally emotionally open to good stuff, that means your totally emotionally open to bad stuff. But none of that should prevent us from loving the things we love.
Épisode 97 - Cheez Doodles Guy, Ringo Silver, and Dad Jokes (Pizzamas Day 4)
12 novembre 2015
In which John discusses the unironic enthusiasm of Cheez Doodles Guy and answers real questions from real nerdfighters on topics ranging from his least favorite Beatle to loneliness to dad jokes.
Épisode 98 - Feeling About Paris
13 novembre 2015
I just heard from my friend and he and his family are safe. It is a relief but it does not make me feel less awful. Thank you to all of the first responders and bystanders who risked their lives today. My thoughts are with those who have lost friends and family members. I am doing my best to keep focused on sadness and not let it turn into anger at some unknown specter.
Épisode 99 - On Our Way to the Dance (Pizzamas Day 6)
16 novembre 2015
In which John discusses history, war, the German photographer August Sanders, and his famous picture "Young Farmers," also known as "Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance, 1914."
Épisode 100 - The Things that People Do (Thoughts from New York City) (Pizzamas Day 7)
17 novembre 2015
In which Hank bumbles around New York with a camera so giant that people can't stop soliciting him for carriage rides even after he has refused 25 times filming landmarks and art and the everyday miracles accomplished by the people who make life here possible.
Épisode 101 - SUIT UP! A Very Fancy Reunion Video (Pizzamas Day 8)
18 novembre 2015

Topics discussed include whether John can make a dinosaur noise, the meaning of life from the perspective of a chicken, the proper pronunciation of gala, the mass extinction humans have caused over the last 500 years, and lamps. You know, standard vlogbrothers stuff.
Épisode 102 - Is Success a Bad Idea? (Pizzamas Day 9 of 10)
19 novembre 2015
I'm not sure if I really got to the point I was trying to get to in this video...I had to cut a good bit out to fit it into four minutes. But I guess I feel like when people compliment me on my success they are putting me inside of a certain worldview that I don't believe in, but that is seen as universal by them.
Épisode 103 - On Mental Illness (and the end of Pizzamas)
20 novembre 2015
In which John discusses his mental illness, the challenges of living with chronic illness, a recent run of poor health, the end of Pizzamas, and the question of whether things end or just change.
Épisode 104 - Crime and Outrage
24 novembre 2015
In which John discusses the changes in crime rates in the United States over the last 25 years, the minor outrages of the American penny, what will and won't kill you, the cycles of Internet outrage, rising pharmaceutical prices, and whether human life is getting better even as we feel like it is getting worse.
Épisode 105 - Never Satisfied: The Story of Humans |-/
27 novembre 2015
In this video I start out thinking about how easy it is for me to forget how cool my life is and then extend that to all of humanity because I think that this is kinda how humanity is. Now, I don't think the way we focus on problems (or are focusing on problems right now) is necessarily the most effective, but it's undeniably human. I think we need to focus less on who are opponents are and more on what we are actually trying to achieve. More and more in America, I see the discourse as "The problem is those people who are in the way of us solving the problem" rather than "The problem is the problem." It turns out solving problems (especially human problems) is very complicated and it's very easy to misunderstand the stakeholders and people's worldviews and human nature and to think that the opposition is evil when in fact the opposition is simply different.
Épisode 106 - John's Book Giving Guide for the Holidays!
1 décembre 2015
In which John recommends many, many books that will make great gifts this holiday season. Books really do make the best Christmas presents, and I am not at all biased in saying that.
Épisode 107 - The Explain The 2008 Financial Crisis CHALLENGE! (and 7 other challenges)
4 décembre 2015
I don't know that I actually did a great job of explaining the 2008 Financial Crisis. It turns out it's pretty complicated. If you are interested in doing any of these challenges, I would /really/ love to see this video duplicated because it was a great deal of fun to make.
Épisode 108 - The Bank of Nerdfighteria's Semiannual Report
8 décembre 2015
In which John shares a semiannual report from the bank of nerdfighteria and its three arms: lending, spending, and giving. Our annual charity event, the 2015 Project for Awesome (the NINTH annual p4a) begins this Friday, so I wanted to get everyone ready for the fundraising, and video-watching, and livestreaming, and so on. The first half of the p4a will support the nonprofit organizations Save the Children and the UN's High Commission on Refugees. Money raised in the second half of the p4a will be distributed to charities chosen by the nerdfighter community.
Épisode 109 - The Refugee Crises: Project for Awesome 2015
11 décembre 2015
In which John Green discusses the Project for Awesome 2015, the growing refugee population in Ethiopia resulting from the conflict in South Sudan, the Syrian refugee crisis, and the vitally important work being done by the United Nations' High Commission on Refugees (the UNHCR) and Save the Children.
Épisode 110 - P4A 2015 - Condensed Soup
15 décembre 2015

18 décembre 2015
In which Hank Sings a Song! About Death!
Épisode 112 - The Myth Reawakens
22 décembre 2015
In which John (WITH NO SPOILERS) discusses the new Stars Wars movie , The Force Awakens, in the context of the original Star Wars trilogy. Also discussed is Joseph Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, which heavily influenced George Lucas while he was writing the first Star Wars films. And I talk about mythology, shared myths, how we assign personhood, whether wookies are people, etc.
Épisode 113 - On Hating Christmas
25 décembre 2015
In which Hank talks about why Christmas (and the Holiday Giving Season) often come under such significant fire (from apparently all sides) during this time of the year.

1 janvier 2016
Épisode 2 - Who Owns Oregon? Some Historical Context on the so-called Militia Occupation of Public Lands
5 janvier 2016
In which John discusses the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Southwestern Oregon by armed civilians, and what the history of this land can tell us about private and public property in the United States, and how land came to be owned in America.
Épisode 3 - Who Am I?! - Some thoughts on Personal Identity
8 janvier 2016
It's difficult to understate the affect that other people's perceptions have on the kind of person you end up being. Of course, we also have tendencies and traits that are built into us, but mostly I think our selves are constructed out of what we need to become and what we are asked to become. And, in the best cases, our selves are constructed by what we want to become....built with thoughtfulness and care.
Épisode 4 - Zero Severed Hands: On Star Wars and Making Things
12 janvier 2016
In which John discusses the astonishing lack of amputated hands or arms in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the common criticism that the movie is merely a rehash of the original Star Wars. Also discussed: the fact that Marvel's Phase Two films all featured de-arming as a tribute to Star Wars, and some general thoughts on the relationship between creator and audience and the challenges of letting go of things you've made.
Épisode 5 - Eating Weird Food from the 50s (with Katherine)
15 janvier 2016
Katherine got a sort of recipe book that her grandmother put together in the 1940s and 50s. It was fascinating enough that I decided we should cook some of this REALLY WEIRD STUFF!
Épisode 6 - The Looking for Alaska Movie, Davos, and Hufflepuff Shade: It's Question Tuesday
19 janvier 2016
In which John stuns the world by answering real questions from real nerdfighters in an airport on his way to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Issues discusses include John's anxiety around the WEF, his excitement about visiting the setting of Thomas Mann's novel The Magic Mountain, how dogs should wear pants, the Looking for Alaska movie, his new story, the still not technically real U.S. Presidential election, and more.
Épisode 7 - Why Are Vegetarians Annoying? (An Exploration of a Cultural Rift)
22 janvier 2016
In which Hank delves into the meme of the annoying vegetarian, where it comes from, why it annoys us, and what's really at the root of it all. In researching this video, I found that a lot of the numbers we throw around when talking about how bad meat eating is for the environment are really confusing and occasionally just wrong. The most damning report (which I have quoted before) from WorldWatch turns out to have a bunch of obvious problems. Like, it counts the exhalations of livestock as a carbon emission. This isn't accurate as all carbon exhaled by livestock was recently extracted from the environment by the plants that the animals eat. I was pretty frustrated to find that WorldWatch had made this mistake (or worse, stuck by it intentionally.) It's all further complicated by the fact that making a cow in America is actually far more efficient than making it other places. Often times we'll talk about how the food being eaten by animals could be eaten by people, but that's not always the case. Raising corn for animal consumption is much easier and cheaper and requires less resources and can be done on less-fertile land than raising it for human consumption. So, I came out of this video with a more nuanced view, but nonetheless knowing more than ever that less meat eating means more food for more people with less impact, which is what we need most of all in this world right now. I hope this video isn't too controversial. The number one thing I wanted to say is that I wish I were better, and I will keep working toward that, but that it is also OK to be an imperfect person in an imperfect world. And so it is possible to agree with all arguments in favor of vegetarianism and remain an omnivore.
Épisode 8 - Billionaires and Radical Hope: Thoughts from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
26 janvier 2016
In which John Green attends the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he meets billionaires, documentary filmmakers, movie producers, global health advocates, and a lot of businesspeople. It all makes him consider the relationship between people and history.
Épisode 9 - Why the Word "Millennial" Makes me Cringe
29 janvier 2016
In which Hank responds to and adds to an article John wrote about Millennials and discusses how uninteresting it has become to discuss generations as homogenous, and also why we seem to talk about what's wrong with one group without discussing the problems they face. I think we're really good at picking out negative attributes...those are the things we notice, and they're the things we write about. Sure, I'm concerned that young people won't vote, but I also understand that it is difficult to be civically engaged in a world that is divorced from your reality. I also feel like people raised in the world of deep partisanship and access to infinite information (all of it sensationalized) find not just politics but life itself overwhelming, as if every decision they make is an opportunity to either save or destroy the world. I myself was born in 1980, the cutoff between Generation X and Millennial, and while I'm fairly old I also spend a lot of time interacting with and thinking about young people, so I guess it's unsurprising that I'm sympathetic. But talking about the behavior of young people without talking about the challenges they face is dumb. And talking about one or two tendencies to behave slightly differently than other generations and then blaming that on one or two new-fangled parenting techniques (helicopter parenting) is just /awful/ sociology.
Épisode 10 - Is the Gender Pay Gap Real?
2 février 2016
In which John examines the complex and tangled question of the gender wage gap, and looks at some of the reasons why women who work full time are paid less than men who work full time.
Épisode 11 - Honest YouTube Talk Time
5 février 2016
Let's be honest, YouTube is becoming more businesy...more corporate even. I'm a part of this, not only because I run a business in which I work with other people to produce content that I (and not they) own. But also because I run VidCon, a place where we have a track specifically designed for people who are in the business of YouTube to talk about the business of YouTube. I do /some/ things to influence that conversation, but actually try pretty hard not to do too much of that because I recognize that my view of the world is not the only valid one. YouTube is going to keep changing, but there will always be fascinating, interesting, weird, independent stuff happening on this platform. But it will likely never again be the thing at the top of the YouTube Mountain, and I definitely feel weird about that.
Épisode 12 - Water in My Cereal: Taste Testing Various Liquid Accompaniments to Raisin Bran
9 février 2016
In which John eats his Raisin Bran with water, orange juice, black coffee, lemon-lime gatorade, and cow's milk in an attempt to find the perfect way to eat cereal.
Épisode 13 - Doing the Hard(er) Thing (and some very bad news)
12 février 2016
Basically the thing that I didn't say in this video was...if I can't make myself get up an hour earlier in the morning even if that would make my life much better, how am I supposed to do all of the things that everyone says we need to do to live more morally. Especially when the number and intensity of those things we should be doing seems to constantly increase (along with the price of many of those things.) Do we have an infinite amount of energy to intentionally make our lives a little less enjoyable for the common good, or is there a limitation there? Is that limitation only in my head? Probably, since I have a very easy life and yet still find it difficult to do relatively easy things. Yes, indeed, despite what I said in the video, there's definitely no "ice cream cake breaking point," but it is still hard to do the hard(er) thing. Maybe there is no limit to the number of difficult things we each can do but, instead, a limit to the number of difficult things we can choose to do. Which is why taking choice out of the matter helps me do hard things much more efficiently. THE BAD NEWS I've talked about this a tiny bit elsewhere, but Lemon (my beautiful and ridiculous dog) is very sick. She has bone cancer and it has gotten worse fast. She's pretty uncomfortable now and every day is harder for her. She's beautiful and loving as ever, but she is in a lot of pain and it's very hard for her and us. Thanks for all of your kind thoughts.

Épisode 1 - Re-Thinking our YouTube Channel
3 janvier 2020
Originally when writing this video there was quite a lot more about nails and stress and also about how the mindless acquisition of something that previously held value beyond any objective utility creates more stress than it alleviates, but then it got to be a LOT about money and not a lot about community so I'm saving that for later. But if you noticed the ghost of that argument hiding in this video...well done. Also, I made this video yesterday, so I didn't have time to consider the geopolitics of January 3, 2020. However, I am also not an expert on Iran, so I basically have nothing useful to say except, "It's ok to not know what's going on right now. It's going to take a while before anyone knows."
Épisode 2 - Endings | Beginnings
7 janvier 2020
In which John discusses his annual letters to himself, the things that will be ending this year, and the things that will be beginning.
Épisode 3 - The Thing I would Like to End
10 janvier 2020
There are some pretty dramatic simplifications in here. For example, I did not talk about beta readers or perspective readers. For me, after the main revision is done, I send the book to a half-dozen or so people who have things in common with my characters that I don't. Race, gender, nationality, age, socio-economic status, education, sexual orientation, etc. That's one of my favorite parts of the process and gets spread out over a number of months.

Épisode 9 - How Many Stars are in the Sky?
31 janvier 2020
The Spitzer mission ended this week after more than a decade of operation. When it first launched, in order to eliminate all sources of infrared radiation, the telescope had a store of liquid helium on board that kept it just two degrees warmer than interstellar space. Eventually, that helium ran out, and it kept doing its mission, but eventually its ability to take these amazing photos degraded and now the mission has ended. Part of the reason it created this amazing image was to map out potential candidates for future examination by other telescopes, particularly the James Webb Space Telescope which will launch (fingers crossed) in March of 2021. It's also an IR telescope, so it will give us even better views of our galaxy (and others.)
Épisode 10 - practice
4 février 2020
In which John tries to go off script and discusses his love of the many-splendored verb "to practice." Old-school vlogbrothers video here. Hope you enjoy it.

11 février 2020
In which John Green discusses what he has learned from 1,100 days of regular exercise.
Épisode 13 - Ending The Great Airplane Seat Debate
14 février 2020
I just want to settle this and be done with it but, guess what, that's not going to happen. If you haven't seen the video, don't watch it, it's dumb. One person asked another person not to recline, and she didn't....which, to my eyes, is definitely impolite. But then he jiggled and punched and jiggled her chair to try and get her to move, which is shows a lack of coping skills that boggles my mind.
Épisode 14 - wintry mix
18 février 2020
In which John considers the pathetic fallacy and the most Midwestern form of precipitation.
Épisode 15 - The Muck of Millennia
21 février 2020

Épisode 17 - I"M FINE EVERYTHING IS FINE
28 février 2020

Épisode 18 - Consciously Experiencing Human Dignity
3 mars 2020
In which John in inspired by--get this--a YouTube comment to consider more carefully what he loves and looks for in art (and beyond). Thanks, 33ranjit!
Épisode 19 - I Did Not Get Leprosy!
6 mars 2020
This video is about nine banded armadillos...they are very good and, yes, lots of them are infected with leprosy, but that is not their fault. Thank you for coming down memory lane with me and discovering cool things about turtle rabbits.
Épisode 20 - A Strong but Fleeting Flavor: A Reunion Video
10 mars 2020
In which John and Hank reunite to discuss Juicy Fruit, childhood trees, and the Bronte sisters' ne'er-do-well brother.
Épisode 21 - The Anxious Scroll
13 mars 2020
This video was recorded after our tour got cut short (for obvious and completely understandable reasons.) We're all searching for clear and simple information right now, but while there are lots of things that we know (we need more testing, there are ways to slow spread and that will protect the most vulnerable populations and help keep the healthcare system from being overwhelmed (and they include handwashing, social distancing, and ending large events.)) But there are also a lot of unknowns. And there are lots of people who have reasons for wanting us to think things are more certain than they are...but they just aren't.
Épisode 22 - together.
17 mars 2020
In which the only way out is through, and the only way through is together.
Épisode 23 - The Sudden Obliteration of Expectation
20 mars 2020
The way we make sense of the world is mostly invisible to us...but times like this can make it visible. There have been moments in my life my expectations have evaporated and I have felt lost without an anchor. We're starting to realize that we're in a moment like that right now. Maybe it won't be a huge shift...here's hoping, but it's already been unsettling and life-changing for many people, so we're going to have to find our new normal.
Épisode 24 - Mental Health Tips from People Who've Been There
24 mars 2020
In which John discusses his difficult week and the mental health tips for social distancing from Partners in Health.

3 avril 2020

Épisode 28 - I am an artist.
7 avril 2020
In which John unambiguously celebrates Sarah Urist Green and her wonderful book You Are an Artist, and considers what it means to make art and be an artist.
Épisode 29 - Things I'm Finding Encouraging
10 avril 2020
This is a hard time, and there are definitely people who are at fault for not taking this more seriously, or for outright taking advantage of this situation for political or economic gain. But those people are a tiny percentage, and in reality, right now, billions of people are listening to experts and that action is saving literally millions of lives. I'm grateful for that.
Épisode 30 - books that help
14 avril 2020
In which John reads, worries, and drinks champagne to celebrate the release of You Are An Artist by Sarah Urist Green.
Épisode 31 - The Rarest Fish in the World is an Anglerfish!
17 avril 2020
To learn more about the amazing work being done to save these fishies, check out handfish.org.au. Another thing about handfish that I didn't get into the video is that surveys have shown they don't leave a 10 meter area during any given year of their life. I don't know how they manage to survive this way!
Épisode 32 - hey now
21 avril 2020
In which John discusses the Great White Whale that is (or would have been) Hank's fortieth birthday present. I thought I would make an old school vlogbros video for you today. p.s. btw if you have or can find the All Star sing-a-ma-jig, please let me know. It's my Moby-Dick.
Épisode 33 - The Sharpest Tool in the Shed
24 avril 2020
There are a lot of black permanent markers in the world, and I couldn't help buy buy way too many of them to try and figure out which one was the best signing experience as I signed tens of thousands of pieces of paper. There's a longer version of this video over on Hankschannel if that sounds like the kind of thing you'd be into. I mean...why not.

12 mai 2020
In which a book changes John's life.
Épisode 39 - Lookin' Kinda Dumb!
15 mai 2020
The hammerheaded bat will occasionally pop up on your timeine and it's important to note that they are not as big as they look, but they are EXACTLY as weird as they look, at least the males are. It's almost upsetting...like, fruit bats are mostly really quite cute because there's no reason for evolution to torture their face into acoustically useful tools. And yet, even though it could have been cute, evolution was like, "No, I will sexually select you into making the worst possible noise with the worst possible face." Anyway, I love them. I hope you're doing well. Thank you for reading the description...what a delightful thing to have done!
Épisode 40 - Didn't Make Sense Not to Live for Fun
19 mai 2020
In which John discusses double negatives in English (and French), negative concord, the brilliant use of double negatives in Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall," Smash Mouth's "All Star," and whether it doesn't make sense not to live for fun.
Épisode 41 - The Meteor Men Beg to Differ // Judging by the Hole in the Satellite Picture
22 mai 2020
When two lines rhyme, they are intended to both convey meaning, and lock tightly into the aesthetic structure of the song. At least, that's my opinion. But what if one of those things is sacrificed for the other. Or worse...what if both of them are just completely disregarded?
Épisode 42 - you'll never know
26 mai 2020
In which Skeletor could write a book about what I don't know. Other topics discussed include the obliterated matrix I use to make guesses about the future, and how expertise happens.
Épisode 43 - Get Paid
29 mai 2020
Every time someone has approached us with an opportunity to put our content someplace new, we have been very wary and worried about it. Obviously, YouTube is not some virtuous non-profit, but moving off YouTube wouldn't just be something we were doing to our content, it would be something we were doing to /you/ and that still seems like some kind of betrayal. Only once I've watched people start to do it was I able to articulate why. This isn't something I feel like I could sell because it is not something I feel like I own.
Épisode 44 - ---
2 juin 2020
Épisode 45 - So Much to Do

Épisode 54 - You're a Rock Star
7 juillet 2020
Épisode 55 - What a Concept!!
10 juillet 2020
Ideas are absolutely a kind of magic. There is individual synthesis in how and whether things stick, but inspiration isn't 99% perspiration...that's a weird bad term. Innovation??? DEFINITELY 99% perspiration. But inspiration is, for me, 99% things I already know and 1% something I'm adding. That's fine! That's not something to be ashamed of or to feel like an imposter because you're not really adding anything. That 1% is MAGIC...it's HUGE...it's EVERYTING.
Épisode 56 - The ice we skate is getting pretty thin.
14 juillet 2020
In which John discusses burn out, struggling through (gestures broadly), and realizing that your own joy can be something you produce. (...to quote Hank Green's brilliant novel A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor.)
Épisode 57 - So Much to See
17 juillet 2020
It seems like content is now infinite...and maybe, for some of us, it is. But in other ways it is not. But also, maybe we're getting close...maybe. What does that mean for us? Because I don't think it's a little thing.
Épisode 58 - Somebody Once Asked . . .
21 juillet 2020
Épisode 59 - Could I Spare some Change for Gas?
24 juillet 2020
Épisode 60 - Your Brain Gets Smart, but Your Head Gets Dumb
31 juillet 2020
There's lots in here that I don't explain fully, but one thing I wanted to talk about more is why I think that online school is definitionally less valuable than in-person school. First, this is tendencies, there maybe some portion of the population for whom it is better, but in-person is easier to capture and keep attention, easier to receive non-verbal feedback from a class, easier for classmates to build relationships and thus help each other (with classwork and with life stuff...and also sometimes for the rest of their lives.) But I think it's also been made fairly clear (at least in the way schools spend money) that a great deal of the value delivered by college is outside of the classroom. The college experience is valuable, and that's a LOT of what people are paying for. I think it's safe to say that, if you're mostly paying for streaming video, $50,000 is too much.
Épisode 61 - you're bundled up now? wait till you get older.
3 août 2020
In which John celebrates Esther Day 2020 by talking about old pictures, love, and Esther Earl.
Épisode 62 - Her Finger and Her Thumb in the Shape of an "L" on Her Forehead
7 août 2020
Little known fact, I minored in art in undergrad. The most valuable part of that process was learning how to give and receive critique, and internalizing the reality that critique is vital...but so is knowing when you think it's wrong. And that's frikkin hard, so I wanted to talk about it!
Épisode 63 - never get bored
11 août 2020
In which John talks about stuff that is helping him through, which actually turns out to be helpful in and of itself.
Épisode 64 - Hit The Ground Running
14 août 2020

18 août 2020
In which John fails to draw circles while discussing the drawing of circles and how to count to 170,000.
Épisode 66 - The Water's Getting Warm
21 août 2020
If there is one true thing about humans, it's that we're hyper-adaptable, problem-solving machines. I think, long term, we've got this. But there's going to be a lot of bad along the way, and it hurts a lot to see the bad getting worse in real time. Sometimes sacrifices are forced, and sometimes they are given. Let's try to make a world where the former alleviates the latter.
Épisode 67 - Somebody once told me....
25 août 2020
In which John discusses a viral TikTok about a time-traveler named Noah who is back from 2030 to tell us about Mars and microchips.
Épisode 68 - Break the Mold
28 août 2020
Some advice for being a person in the year 2020, couched in a conversation about TikTok. Of course, there are reasons clear paths exist, they are good paths. And we should absolutely do our best to utilize them. Otherwise, it is very easy to get lost. But we lose something when we never look to the side to see if there might be another way, especially when the other paths get real clogged up...or blocked by a big shitty tree that just fell across it.

In which John discusses a lyric that appeared in both Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and a song by the band Smash Mouth.
Épisode 74 - They Say it Gets Colder
18 septembre 2020
The thing to remember here is that finding life on another planet tells us one of very two things...and we will be able to figure out which thing pretty quickly.
Épisode 75 - the world is gonna roll me
22 septembre 2020
In which John feels overwhelmed with dread so decides to go on a walk, where he thinks about Mary Oliver, Herman Melville, and the chill in the air on this first day of Autumn. ALSO: This video contains a clue. The clue eventually leads to a secret livestream. It is possible to solve the clue alone, but it is easier to solve it with the help of friends

Just wanted to let you know that I'm not making a video today.

Épisode 80 - Something Important I've Never Talked About
6 octobre 2020

7 octobre 2020
In which John considers when the golden age of vlogbrothers was, and discusses why he didn't try to pick a really compelling thumbnail for this video.
Épisode 82 - The Commercial that Killed a Fast Food Chain
8 octobre 2020
I have been working on this video for like two years, I think about Mr. Delicious at least once a week. He sells aluminum siding, but also goes to Bora Bora with...sex workers? Maybe? He's on his second marriage. He spends too much time at a bar called The Rusty Anchor. He is both effete and signals that he is wealthy while also being working-class? He also likes to read ROMANCE NOVELS WHILE EATING RAX?! So I guess that's what in the suitcase???

9 octobre 2020
In which John votes and considers the strange role that the Rax Guy played in his childhood, and how in many ways the Rax Guy was ahead of his time.
Épisode 84 - What Matters
12 octobre 2020
I started thinking about this video in the context of Donald Trump, just trying to understand how you get to a place where you a very particular perception of strength...the hollowness of bullying people and gathering power around yourself without even any clear vision for what should or could be done with that power could be so integral to someone's self worth.

Épisode 98 - Would I Take a COVID Vaccine?
20 novembre 2020
A thing I really wish I'd had time to say in this video...now that we have vaccines that will be being distributed within 30 days, it is even more valuable to stay home, wear masks, and prevent the spread of this disease. Before now, we were buying time for some eventual moment that we didn't even know would come. Now we are buying time for a goal we can actually see...and a goal that isn't far off.

18 décembre 2020
Sometimes I think understanding how this process works will make my desires feel less real, but it never does. I can understand exactly how my internal calculus is changing and why AND that it's something that I HAVE DONE TO MYSELF, but it still feels entirely real to me. Anyway...very curious to here people's thoughts on all of this...
Épisode 107 - Looking Back at My 2020 Goals
29 décembre 2020
In which John returns to the halcyon days of yore and reviews his goals for 2020.
Épisode 108 - Auld Lang Syne: A History and Remembrance
31 décembre 2020
This video features an episode of the podcast "The Anthropocene Reviewed" in which John Green discusses his friendship with the writer Amy Krouse Rosenthal and the long, winding history of "Auld Lang Syne," which has become the world's New Year's Eve song.
Épisode 1 - In 1990 I Made a Bunch of Predictions About 2020...Here they Are
1 janvier 2021
I kept finding this and being like, "I need to safe this for 2020." And I swear, I almost forgot about it but I was cleaning my office this week and found it and was like, "OH THANK GOD YES YES YES I DIDN'T MISS IT!"
Épisode 2 - SUPERIOR FISH BEINGS
5 janvier 2021
In which John discusses 10-year-old Hank's prediction that the year 2012 would feature the emergence of Superior Fish Beings, and what exactly those Superior Fish Beings might be up to.
Épisode 3 - In Which Hank Worries for a Little Bit and then Looks at Microbes
8 janvier 2021
Did I record an entire video about voting rights and coups and leaders of this country thinking they could ride tigers without getting bitten by them? Yes! Yes I did. But as I was recording it I felt more and more like I was incapable of adding anything without over simplifying or rambling! In general, I am angry, and am glad to have the ability to take refuge in microbes occasionally.
Épisode 4 - My 2021 Vision Board
12 janvier 2021
In which John announces a new project despite not really knowing what a vision board even is. p.s. Lemmigs????
Épisode 5 - Influencers and Insurrectionists
15 janvier 2021
I keep hearing people talk about whether it was Facebook or Fox News or Donald Trump who led us down this deep mess of radicalization. But it's feeling more and more to me like those are all the same things. Donald Trump is the essence of a conservative radio host. Facebook hosts Fox News, Trump's decisions and tweets determine what's on Fox News which determine what he's thinking about, which controls what's happening on Facebook which informs Fox News which informs Donald Trump.
Épisode 6 - let's go on a parts adventure
19 janvier 2021
Épisode 7 - I Didn't Clean My Glasses for a Week and then I Put them Under a Microscope
22 janvier 2021
It turns out, from what I can tell, that the reason your glasses get harder to see through, is that globs of sebaceous oil somehow leap from your skin to the inside of your glasses. Those oil globs then prevent light from going directly through the glass, creating the streaks that I am constantly seeing. Which is why you need a glasses cleaner that dissolves oil, not just water and toilet paper. Though, water can be very important, because tiny salt crystals will absolutely scratch your lenses if you rub them around.
Épisode 8 - The Sycamore Tree
26 janvier 2021
In which John plays the why game before discovering that he is in the vast shade of a sycamore tree.
Épisode 9 - The Gamestop Short Squeeze in 4 Minutes
29 janvier 2021
Am I qualified to make this video? No I am not. But are the people who manipulate our markets so that they can harm the economy for their own gain qualified to do that? ALSO NO!!!
Épisode 10 - I Predicted the Pandemic (over and over and over again)
2 février 2021
Épisode 11 - The Project for Awesome will be Different This Year!
5 février 2021
Épisode 12 - Lesser Known YouTube Channels I Love
9 février 2021
PLEASE CHECK OUT THE AMAZING CHANNELS IN THIS VIDEO
Épisode 13 - Doing Better
12 février 2021
When I say that things "are just this way" what I don't mean is that they had to be. We had plenty of chances to make this better along the way, and the US government did an extreme disservice to the world by pretending that tiny amounts of debt were worth not building infrastructure or educating children, but this is the world we are in now. If you want to know more, I REALLY suggest watching "Bending the Arc" on Netflix.
Épisode 14 - A Lovely Winter Walk
16 février 2021
In which John, sporting a p4a-mandated mustache, takes a snowy walk in the woods while feeling exhausted and light-drenched in the wake of the 2021 Project for Awesome, which has now raised (can it be?) over $2,300,000 for charity.
Épisode 15 - Bean Meme Review
19 février 2021
Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the Project for Awesome last weekend. This wasn't even all of the memes! There were tons of great ones I couldn't fit in! It was a really amazing time that inspired a lot of....creativity. And here that creativity is featured in my first ever meme review! (And yes, I did get a dispensation from the four minute rule for this video!!)
Épisode 16 - A Little Joy and Color in an Otherwise Unbearably Bland Life
23 février 2021
In which John discusses his all-time favorite five-star review, endurance as art, the peculiarly modernist hell of repetition, and purple Sharpies.
Épisode 17 - Arbitrary but Useful
26 février 2021
I guess one other thing that I would say is that the frustration people like me sometimes have about how we don't all use the same systems of measurements or whatever is, like, I get it, it's frustrating. But ultimately, homogeneity had utility when it comes to whether we're talking about kilometers or miles, but there are lots of ways in which it is better for us not to have perfectly fluid, barrier-less communication.
Épisode 18 - What's Not in the Frame
2 mars 2021
In which John discusses the frame, and what's not in it. This isn't really a video; it's just a question.
Épisode 19 - How Much Hope is OK?
5 mars 2021
In the video I describe a worry that it is selfish to feel nice in a world that remains full of bad things. I'm not sure if selfishness is the right word, but I don't know what the right word is?
Épisode 20 - Hank Rebranded Without Any of Us Noticing
9 mars 2021
In which John discusses corndogs, his brother, the past which is never past, the death of Mr. Peanut, and necessity of change.
Épisode 21 - A Crisis of Branding
12 mars 2021
When I say, "I don't have an authentic self" I don't mean, "I don't have innate tendencies or attributes." I definitely do. But it is definitely the case that "the real me" is a thing that I could search for forever and only come out feeling freezer burned.
Épisode 22 - How a Book Cover Gets Designed
16 mars 2021
In which John discusses the process of designing the cover for The Anthropocene Reviewed.
Épisode 23 - How Will Post Pandemic Behavior Change?
19 mars 2021
If you'd like to participate, it was a fun exercise and I think gives me a chance to make maybe /slightly/ better decisions in the short-term!
Épisode 24 - Why I'm Worried about 2021
26 mars 2021
I might be worried to be worried about this...but I think there are scales of severity to all of these things and I think we're getting really good at not looking at things on scales and instead seeing them entirely as binaries, and it's making us hate each other...a lot.
Épisode 25 - I did it!
30 mars 2021
In which John signs (and Lectrojogs) an actual ton.
Épisode 26 - John's World Record
2 avril 2021
I dunno, maybe someone out there has written their name more times, it's certainly possible, but at this point it seems unlikely. It's also possible that I have drawn more fish than anyone else in the world, but I didn't want to brag.
Épisode 27 - How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?
6 avril 2021
In which John discusses his all-time favorite meme, anxiety, shame, vaccine hesitancy, and how we're gonna get out of this.
Épisode 28 - A Thought is Not an Idea
9 avril 2021
I've heard people talk a good deal about how ideas are useless without implementation, but I don't hear many people talking about the fact that an idea isn't even an idea if it doesn't have both an objective and a path to achieve that objective.
Épisode 29 - My Truly Mortifying Self-Talk
13 avril 2021
In which John's watch goes rogue, and his friend Craig is kind, and a second shot is manifested.
Épisode 30 - Gene Editing and Intelligence: A Bad
16 avril 2021
There was so much more I wanted to talk about here...it's a hard subject for 4 minutes. Obviously the bad thing being glossed over in the beginning is "Well, so we're going to create a race of smart people to 'help' everyone else? Yeah that sounds like it will go fine! DEFINITELY NOT DYSTOPIAN AT ALL"
Épisode 31 - Breaking Ground!!!
20 avril 2021
Épisode 32 - Young People and the COVID Vaccine
23 avril 2021
Épisode 33 - What is my new book about?
27 avril 2021
In which John does not know how to talk about his new book The Anthropocene Reviewed, but needs to figure it out soon.
Épisode 34 - Are We the Baddies?? A Quick Look at a Discourse
30 avril 2021
When I started this video I thought it was just going to be about a tweet...the fact that it became about how a tweet about villains outlines that the thing we're angry about is kinda that heroes don't turn into villains, and that the villainy was being advocated for on a platform where people don't seem to be getting any better at understanding inspires villainy was a pretty big surprise... Also, what is most interesting to me about these tweets is not that they were tweeted, again, I think they are fine takes...I think what's interesting is how much traction they got...how many likes and retweets and how much conversation they created, and how that conversation was never less extreme than the original tweet, always more extreme. Anyway, have a good day.
Épisode 35 - What the Most-Viewed Vlogbrothers Videos Say about YouTube (and about us)
4 mai 2021
In which John looks at fourteen years of vlogbrothers history while considering what exactly constitutes a successful YouTube video.
Épisode 36 - Are We The Same Person?
7 mai 2021
I mean, at this point, it's worth asking. I feel like the more my identity is tied to small groups of people I know well, the happier I am. Having my identity tied to large groups I don't know well (like, "YouTubers") was bad. Having it be entirely based on "me" was also bad...but maybe there's a middle path.
Épisode 37 - I am a small boat. It's Question Tuesday.
11 mai 2021
In which John answers questions about The Anthropocene Reviewed book, being Vince Vaughn's best friend, his favorite vlogbrothers inside joke, and more.
Épisode 38 - This Vlogbrothers Stat Blew My Mind
14 mai 2021
Épisode 39 - Saying What I've Needed to Say to Hank for a While
18 mai 2021
In which The Anthropocene Reviewed book comes out and John says what he's been needing to say to Hank for a while.
Épisode 40 - The 19 Best Facts
21 mai 2021
The thread has now received a further 900 replies, and includes many facts that I would have put in this list, including that astronauts on spacewalks often LOSE THEIR FINGERNAILS AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY and that sharks were around before Saturn's rings. And also that Abraham Lincoln is in the wrestling hall of fame. This was fun.
Épisode 41 - The Anthropocene Animated
25 mai 2021
In which John reads the first chapter of his new book, The Anthropocene Reviewed.
Épisode 42 - Aliens
28 mai 2021
Is it aliens? Probably not. Why? Because we don't know almost everything, and finding an explanation that could explain almost anything doesn't recognize that there is a whole lot we don't know. We are so extremely biased toward thinking our current knowledge is a complete set of knowledge but it really, really isn't.
Épisode 43 - My Two Favorite Books of the Year
1 juin 2021
In which John discusses his two favorite reads of this year so far, both of which are out today.
Épisode 44 - Is Twitter Redeemable?
4 juin 2021
Just know, going into this, that I do not have a good answer for this question. I know everyone's experience of Twitter is very different, and I also know that there are reasons to be pretty damn pissed off right now. I think there are better ways to use these platforms, but it's going to take a long time for us to find them.
Épisode 45 - Feelings, Little Tunnels, and Oprah: It's Question Tuesday with Ashley C. Ford
8 juin 2021
In which John and Ashley C. Ford, two gratefully vaccinated writer friends, gather to discuss trauma, hope, yacht rock, feelings, Oprah's blanket, writing, and more. Oh, p.s. I had to cut so much gold out of this video that I made the full conversation as a secret unlisted video that most people will not find because they do not read the video description.
Épisode 46 - My Greatest Tool Against Vaccine Misinformation
11 juin 2021
I think there is a place for taking the time to fight against individual claims...but the thing you don't want to do is engage with the people who are not going to be convinced by anything...the people who have tied their identity and often even their livelihoods to believing that the government is trying to kill people (or something) because engaging with them only shines more light on them, and they will never run out of ways to move the goalposts and extend the argument. THAT'S THEIR JOB AND THEY LIKE IT!
Épisode 47 - VLOGBROTHERS REUNITED!!!!
15 juin 2021
In which Hank and John are in the same place at the same time for the first time in a very, very long while.
Épisode 48 - QUADRAGOCON 2021!! LET THE GAMES CONTINUE!!!!
18 juin 2021
In 2015 John and I competed in a 14 event competition called the Quadragocon with the intent of repeating it every four years. But then we didn't do that and then there was a pandemic and ugh. BUT WE'RE BACK! With a couple of repeated events (that had the same outcomes) and a whole bunch of new ones, THIS is QUADRAGOCON 2021!!!
Épisode 49 - Mindblowers with Hank and John
22 juin 2021
In which Hank and John, in their final reunion video for now, discuss the facts that blow their minds--from the lack of time before the Big Bang to the astonishing newness of recorded music.
Épisode 50 - The Surprising Origin of Crash Course
25 juin 2021
Of course I know that the vast majority of people who are watching this won't be able to get a coin, but the small percent who can are making it so that this resource is available to all and not being built inside of a system that will ultimately be designed to capture more value rather than lower more barriers.
Épisode 51 - Sneezing is not normal.
29 juin 2021
In which John discusses the saga of Dr. NeverSneezer Scrooge, and how the ridiculous information we encounter shapes us and the world we share. Speaking of sharing ridiculous information, The Anthropocene Reviewed book has just celebrated it fifth week on the New York Times bestseller list. Thank you for reading it, sharing it, and responding to it so generously.
Épisode 52 - So...Orange Juice isn't What it Seems...
2 juillet 2021
My favorite thing about the fact that all orange juices are flavored is how much the orange juice industry freaks about when people talk about it, so we'll see if I get a letter from them. Anyway, the fact that they think OJ being "flavored" is the problem and not the part where it's an inherently unhealthy sugar beverage is really something. Will we ever move beyond this? Maybe not...
Épisode 53 - Wrong on the Internet
9 juillet 2021
I think we need to interface with the climate crisis like it is an emergency and taking personal action is a great way to both have a small impact on the world, but also to incorporate into your identity, and demonstrate to others that this is a thing that you care a lot about. Let's always remember that climate is a justice issue. Affluent people will be far less negatively impacted than those who have less, and that goes for inside borders and across them. Everything we can do to slow the gushing of CO2 and CH4 into our atmosphere is something that will make this a more just planet. It's time to act...that means advocating for carbon taxes and keeping coal, oil, and gas in the ground, but it also means making thoughtful choices about your own impact. Those things are additive, not subtractive.
Épisode 54 - The Vlogbrothers Videos I Didn't Make
13 juillet 2021
In which John discusses some vlogbrothers videos he didn't make, why he abandoned them, and what he learned along the way.
Épisode 55 - Should You Abandon Social Media?
16 juillet 2021
Did I make a video called "is twitter redeemable" last month? Yes I did. Do I think about Twitter a lot? Yes. Too much? Probably. Ultimately, the moments when I feel like I can't control myself on social media are the ones when I most shouldn't be using social media. Right now, I feel relatively in control. Whenever I'm not able to control myself, I need to not be there. I also try not to communicate with anyone else in my life in moments when I am not in control. It seems like a fairly basic rule, and yet often people seem to prefer messages from those who are out of control, or from those who cause others to lose control. Seems bad!
Épisode 56 - Reviewing Reviews of My Reviews
20 juillet 2021
In which John goes Full Inception and reviews reviews of The Anthropocene Reviewed. Signed copies of TAR are still available in many places.
Épisode 57 - The Last 25 Questions I Asked Google
23 juillet 2021
It is very weird that Google remembers everything, but it is also kinda nice? I don't know what this will do to our lives and our brains, but when I type "When" into the search box and it auto-completes to some idle curiosity I had three weeks ago, it is a special kind of lovely.
Épisode 58 - Savoring: The Sunset Series Returns
27 juillet 2021
In which John watches the sun set over Lake Michigan and tries to slow and thicken time.
Épisode 59 - Can You Trust Science Too Much?
30 juillet 2021
Science is a human-created process that is undergoing constant revision and it is the best tool we have for uncovering truth. It's not a bunch of facts, it's not an ideology. It's imperfect and influenced by bias, but it is also very good at decreasing the affects of bias.
Épisode 60 - I L*** Hank
3 août 2021
In which John celebrates Esther Day 2021.
Épisode 61 - Remembering What's Special
6 août 2021
I mean, can you believe this? Like the idea that this is a "YouTube channel" is so preposterous. There isn't a name for what this is, and I'm OK with that. I recognize that the focus on enjoyment and accomplishment (and the lack of focus on frustrations) means that this community is better at some things than other things. But I'm glad to be realizing that not everything has to be everything.
Épisode 62 - My Physicalmental Illness
10 août 2021
In which John discusses labyrinthitis, OCD, categories, the body in thought, and the body in pain.
Épisode 63 - How We Fix the Climate
13 août 2021
We should act as if this is an emergency, because it is. But part of that is understanding the tools and strategies countries are using to decarbonize and stabilize the climate. This is work that's already being done. We have already decoupled economic growth from the emission of greenhouse gasses which, frankly, was unthinkable just a couple decades ago. We need to be thinking and talking about this stuff, and one really important piece of that is understanding this stuff so we can talk about it and advocate for it. And, good news, it's all actually pretty fascinating!!
Épisode 64 - Who Owns Nerdfighteria?
17 août 2021
In which John reads Jennifer Burek Pierce's book Narratives, Nerdfighters, and New Media and thinks about who captures the value of work done by sprawling collectives in virtual places--including online communities like nerdfighteria.
Épisode 65 - Question Tuesday Except I'm an AI
20 août 2021
In which Fake Hank and John answers Real Questions from Real Nerdfighters.
Épisode 66 - It's My Birthday. I Gave Myself This Video.
24 août 2021
In which John delivers himself an old-fashioned parts video for his birthday. Topics discussed include writing, getting older, living for a million years, moderate dystopias, The Anthropocene Reviewed, the first spacewalk, the first art made from outer space, and the zombie apocalypse of adulthood.
Épisode 67 - Is it Better Not to Know?
27 août 2021
I think one of the difficult thing with how the world exists right now is that we're asked to care about, like, everything. I cannot care about everything and I SHOULD NOT care about everything, because if I do care about everything, I will care incorrectly about a lot of things. Instead, get this, different people need to care about different things deeply, rather than a lot of people caring about things on only a surface level.
Épisode 68 - The Woman Who Invented Stuffed Animals
31 août 2021
In which John discusses the extraordinary life of Margarete Steiff and the invention of stuffed animals.
Épisode 69 - What the Heck am I doing?
3 septembre 2021
The Arizona State University collaboration is so exciting because it's really made clear to me a lot of failings of higher education. There are SO MANY PEOPLE whose higher ed experience involves loans but no degree. There are better ways to do this...to include more people, to lower costs, to lower barriers to knowledge. It's super exciting.
Épisode 70 - My Two Favorite Jokes
7 septembre 2021
In which John tells his two favorite jokes, both of which instruct as well as delight, and encourages you to leave your favorite joke in the comments. Long week. I could use a laugh.
Épisode 71 - The Most Important 10 Words a Stranger Ever Said to Me
10 septembre 2021
I am getting old...it is making me introspective...
Épisode 72 - I do this every. single. tuesday.
14 septembre 2021
In which John discusses doing things routinely, and where ideas come from.
Épisode 73 - The Top 10 Micro-Photos of 2021
17 septembre 2021
This was really an honor to be a part of. We started with thousands of images and we worked for a full two days to come up with the winners. There was also a video portion of the competition, so maybe I'll talk about that at sometime!!
Épisode 74 - how we spend our days
21 septembre 2021
is, of course, how we spend our lives. In which John talks about Annie Dillard, productivity, and the relative value of haircuts.
Épisode 75 - 11 Great Books You Probably Haven't Read
28 septembre 2021
In which John recommends eleven excellent books that aren't bestsellers.
Épisode 76 - A Lie I Heard this Week
1 octobre 2021
One of the things it made me think and that I barely talk about in this video is that we are really good at saying "Boy, things sure are bad, but I know there is one thing that isn't part of the problem, and that thing is me." Which, like, might be true but is also awfully convenient. Like, I often hear people blaming news organizations for making the kind of content that people want. We can have a robust conversation about whether news should be constructed as a public good, but as long as they're out there competing with each other, they aren't going to have any incentive to believe that's what their role is. I'm not saying they have no responsibility to not post terrible, rage-batey hot takes, but I also have a responsibility to not engage with those things. I'm their customer, and I shouldn't be shocked that they keep selling me things I keep buying.
Épisode 77 - PIZZAMAS IS HERE!
4 octobre 2021
In which John unboxes a huge variety of Pizza John-related goods.
Épisode 78 - Why the Heck am I on TikTok???
5 octobre 2021
I could obviously talk about TikTok all day long, and I'm not out here pretending I have a healthy relationship with any of this stuff. But here's what I know for sure...our world changes so so so fast and I want to stay aware of it...at least for now. We aren't going to get better at it by ignoring it.
Épisode 79 - Searching for Betsy in Brazil
6 octobre 2021
In which John goes to Brazil to deliver a pizzamas zine and some stickers. Along the way, I contemplate the meaning of life and recall the time I (sorta) met Kurt Vonnegut.
Épisode 80 - What if Facebook Disappeared?
7 octobre 2021
Usually I'm up in the description being like, "here are a bunch of things I wasn't really able to fit in the video" but actually...turns out, if you let me go for 20 minutes, I get most of it out. OK, I guess the one insight I had durning this that didn't fit is to do with righteous superiority. It (and fear) are most effective on people who struggle with self worth (which is to say...y'know...basically everyone, but also some people more than others.) In particular, people who might have been told that they would have a lot of status but then ended up not getting it might be very susceptible to both fear-based and superiority-based content. Interestingly, the fear and the superiority almost always go hand-in-hand. Like, "here are the people you are superior to, and here is why you should be afraid of them" is a wildly engaging thought. Anyway, this is really intense and I hope we all get through it.
Épisode 81 - On February 3rd, 2020, I Wrote a Video I Didn't Make. Here It Is.
8 octobre 2021
In which John returns to a script he wrote but did not film in early February of 2020 about uncertainty and "a feeling of impending doom."
Épisode 82 - The Fastest Things in the Universe (Entirely According to Me)
11 octobre 2021
Boy, the way, at the end of the video, I'm like, "actually speed doesn't exist" is wild. The fastest thing in the universe might actually be you...just depends on your frame of reference...
Épisode 83 - Fine, I'll take the bait.
12 octobre 2021
Épisode 84 - The Web of Care
13 octobre 2021
Only Two Pizzamas Videos Left?! 0_o I think I mostly got to the point I wanted to get to here. Of course, there are a lot of other important thoughts that stem from here...specifically, are we extending our care in the right directions? Are we making sure that the web is growing where it needs to grow? And how do we make those decisions. But the overall thing I wanted to get to is...we are individuals, but we act on the world (and the world acts on us) in ways that individuality does a very bad job of explaining. The self-centered "everything needs me" feeling that I so often have doesn't serve the world or myself.
Épisode 85 - Pizza Sized Johns or John Sized Pizza? It's Question Thursday
14 octobre 2021
In which John answers real questions from real nerdfighters. Topics discussed include breathing, writing, memory, and living with 100 tiny neurotic people.
Épisode 86 - What is Pizzamas? ...and a New Friend
15 octobre 2021
The unpredictability and lack of precedent for the path we are on can feel unnerving at times, but having these recurring times to help us understand where we're headed is really important. It's also such a great luxury to have moments when I just get to be creative for a little while. I even wrote a song this morning!! Well...a chorus...but still!
Épisode 87 - Cat Names: The Authoritative Guide
19 octobre 2021
As you can probably tell, I had a lot of fun making this. In which John combs through literary and scientific history in search of absolute, top-drawer cat names to help Hank and his family name their adorable new kitten.
Épisode 88 - A Tool with No Blood on It
22 octobre 2021
The weirdest swerve when it comes to vavilovian mimics is that some weeds got so good at imitating crops that they made their seeds really big an nutritious and BECAME CROPS. Both rye and oats were once weeds in wheat fields, but they got so good at mimicking wheat that THEY BECAME STAPLE CROPS. Anyway, the bigger the solution, the more problems it causes, but that doesn't mean life was better before it. It used to be that we could rumble through life without understanding the damage that we did. In part, that was because there were fewer of us, in part it was just ignorance. But the only reason there are more of us now is that people wanted to live...and have their children live, which I can't really blame them for.
Épisode 89 - Why Avocados Still Exist
26 octobre 2021
In which John discusses the strangely hopeful history (and future?) of avocado trees and their extraordinary fruit. It's a tale of coevolving with mammals that no longer exist, and yet finding a way to go on.
Épisode 90 - The Earth is an Alien Planet
29 octobre 2021
I just think this is really really cool... Also, it's a great way to teach about how evaporation and condensation work in a way that is terrifying and very memorable.
Épisode 91 - enough
2 novembre 2021
In which John wonders whether enough is actually enough.
Épisode 92 - We Have Invented Something Marvelous
5 novembre 2021
Épisode 93 - Hank Green's Million Dollar Ideas
9 novembre 2021
In which John discusses some of Hank Green's epically bad million dollar ideas, and also an actual million dollar idea, the awesome socks club: http://awesomesocks.club/vb (100% of profits go to charity.)
Épisode 94 - Everything a Normal Person Needs to Know About Helium
12 novembre 2021
Helium is so great...and we are running out of it, but also we are not running out of it.
Épisode 95 - Orbital Sunrise: The First Art Made in Space
16 novembre 2021
Original Title: See What You'll Never See: The Orbital Sunrise In which John Green considers the orbital sunrise, why humans make art, and why the cosmonaut Alexei Leonov drew home. Adapted from the podcast The Anthropocene Reviewed, which is also a book.
Épisode 96 - How do We Get Anything Done At All?

Épisode 104 - What State of Matter is Fire
17 décembre 2021
This question has been bugging me for about 20 years. And, ultimately, it still bugs me...
Épisode 105 - NOW I AM THE SCIENCE ONE...
21 décembre 2021
...and other thoughts from a short day in a long year. In which John discusses why personality is not destiny (or even necessarily permanent), the naming of The Anthropocene Reviewed as one of the best science books (?!?!?!) of the year, the progress being made at Koidu Government Hospital with support from nerdfighteria, and Cats 2.

24 décembre 2021
The James Webb Space Telescope wants to examine the universe in ways that are simply impossible without tremendous feats of engineering. The bad news is...that means a terrifyingly complex deployment schedule and, while launch is scheduled for Christmas morning, no one will be breathing easy for at least two weeks after launch. Let's walk through the timeline, and why this is so hard.
Épisode 107 - Whatcha think???
12 janvier 2023

4 janvier 2022
In which John makes a VERY BIG* ANNOUNCEMENT about nerdfighteria's long-term project to support Partners in Health as they work to radically reduce maternal mortality in Sierra Leone. * Like, VERY big.
Épisode 2 - For Our 2000th Video: Just a Normal Snowy Day
7 janvier 2022
What I would very much like to do at some point is to make a video that is like "All of the best moments of the last 15 years" and I thought I might even take that challenge on until I realized that my son was going to be staying home from school the last two days of the week. BUT I REALLY WANT TO DO IT SOON!! To all of the nitpickers...yes, we have uploaded more than 2000 videos on this channel...especially if you count all of the various parts of Truth or Fail. But this is the first time the counter has ever hit 2000...that's for certain. Thank you all for being a part of the things we have done.
Épisode 3 - The Fault in Our Stars - Ten Years Later
11 janvier 2022
In which John has the flu ten years after his novel The Fault in Our Stars was first published. What a strange, shortlong decade.
Épisode 4 - Thank God We Got This Right...
14 janvier 2022
The only drawback to having 13 months is that, whatever day of the week you're born on, that's the one you're stuck with. At least, now, everyone gets a weekend every once in a while. With 13 months in a year, Monday babies would always be Monday babies. But, this is the thing, there are no decisions that impact a lot of people that don't have some negative impacts. I can't express how much better it would be to always know what day of the week the 19th would be!! Just...think of how much extra certainty that would add to our lives! Maybe that's a bit of a drawback too though..I dunno. I do love the idea of that six day week though...I bet people would get up to all kinds of nonsense.

In which John tells the incredible story of Sierra Leone's qualification for the African Cup of Nations, and the miracles that followed.
Épisode 6 - How to Be Hopeful About Doomsday

Épisode 8 - The Most Dangerous Thing We've Ever Done on Stage
28 janvier 2022
Now that I'm thinking about this, I can't stop thinking about it. I remembered it because a friend of mine told me a story about when she was once at a hot spring and she went from pool to pool asking everyone if they'd like to participate in 30 seconds of silence and she got everyone on board, but then, 15 seconds after they started, some guy said "THIS IS BORING."
Épisode 9 - This Video Is Actually Three Videos
1 février 2022
In which cost and benefit are examined from three directions--poetic, political, and personal.
Épisode 10 - How John and I Talk About Ideas
4 février 2022
I hope it's clear in this video that the thing that makes our ideas good is both the energy and the constraints of this community. There has never been a better guide than the values of Nerdfighteria, and when I look at the list of things that we have made together, or helped inspire in the world, I gotta say...holy crud...wow. Very good stuff.
Épisode 11 - How Much Money Vlogbrothers Makes from YouTube (...and where it goes)
8 février 2022
In which John puts on a suit for the Bank of Nerdfighteria's semiannual report.
Épisode 12 - Knowing is not Understanding - Pluto and the P4A
11 février 2022
This is one of the strangest Vlogbrothers videos I have ever made...to me, it feels entirely natural and flows very well, but I am worried about what it will feel like to others, to make a video that is this aware of itself!!

Épisode 18 - Hard Week
1 mars 2022
Hi. I know I could've taken this week off, but I wanted to make a video because this year's p4a meant so much to me. I am probably going to take next week off, though. Thanks for understanding.
Épisode 19 - The 2022 P4A Meme Review!!!
4 mars 2022
I hope the people who make these things understand how important they are to the overall feel of the Project for Awesome. Without stuff like this, it would be like 50% as fun. These moments are special, but they are so much more special by the people who build upon them. Thank you all so much for an amazing P4A!!
Épisode 20 - Is it All Hopeless?

Épisode 22 - How to Fix Daylight Saving Time
18 mars 2022
The more I think about this, the more interested I am in how it is a lens on a bunch of broader phenomenon. Right now, there are a bunch of pieces being published about how particular groups are upset or worried about sticking with daylight time all year round rather than standard time. But, if we were going to be sticking with standard time all year round, there would also be a bunch of articles about why that's bad. We only talk about the drawbacks of the things we are doing, which means we don't spend a lot of time thinking about the drawbacks of the alternatives. Tricky business... Anyway, the only way we fix this is if enough people don't care...so that's where I'm at.
Épisode 23 - Motivation in Hard Times
22 mars 2022
In which John discusses winter, the endlessness of it all, and finding motivation in difficult days.
Épisode 24 - US College Students Need Help
25 mars 2022
It's a mess out there and the Crash Course team is constantly thinking about it. I'm so happy that we're going to keep trying to fix this thing...lowering barriers wherever we can. It's a real privilege to get to work on these things and we take it super seriously. Thank you so much to everyone who's ever helped out Crash Course through the Coin or Patreon or watching and sharing. We have so much more work to do, but I'm really so pleased for this launch...it's a lot of work coming together.

Épisode 30 - Are You Stuck in The Sad Gap
15 avril 2022
I haven't run across a video that was so hard to fit into four minutes in a long time. There is a lot I want to say about this, and also a lot that I'm not 100% clear on. I don't know to what extent this is an artifact of the structure of people communicating and to what extent it is an artifact of the way the social internet is built.
Épisode 31 - How do you cross the Sad Gap?
19 avril 2022
In which John tells the story of how he escaped the despair of feeling like nothing could ever be done about anything, and how in learning more, he became more optimistic about the future.

22 avril 2022
I needed to do something simple and small this week, not because I didn't have time to do something bigger, but just because I felt like that's where my brain was.
Épisode 33 - An Amazing Day - Greetings from the Turtles All the Way Down Movie Set!
26 avril 2022
In which John sees a 3-d printing of his imagination on the first day of the turtles all the way down movie shoot. This video is both emotionally and physically all over the place! Sorry about that, but it has been an all-over-the-place kind of day.
Épisode 34 - 5 Ways to Actually Understand Very Large Numbers

Épisode 35 - My Religion and My Banned Books
3 mai 2022
In which John discusses his work as a chaplain, his religion, his books, and why he writes books that endeavor to stand there. As is usually the case with videos where I even obliquely attempt to talk about faith, I feel very unsettled about this one (hence all the textual asides), as my relationship with religious institutions (even progressive ones) is increasingly ~complicated~. But I wanted to try to express that the people trying to restrict access to information and human rights do not speak for me or for all Christians.
Épisode 36 - Why I Didn't Quit YouTube (yet)
6 mai 2022
Épisode 37 - An Attempt at Exhausting an Artwork in Cincinnati
10 mai 2022
In which John looks very long, and very hard, at a wanderlust canvas in his airbnb in Cincinnati.
Épisode 38 - What Elon Musk Got Wrong About Twitter
13 mai 2022
It's hard to overstate how different "We will moderate based on what is illegal" is from "...illegal or destructive to the world, or wrong, or bad." That second sentence is just saying "moderation will remain centralized and subjective...but I will be in control of it." I understand that he was just answering questions during an event, but it does show that this just isn't something he's thought very critically about. It seems likely that, when given just a few more examples of how truly difficult it is to balance open speech with creating a sustainable platform that people do not flee, Elon will back out of this deal. There are lots of reasons for him to back out of the deal as well, including the fact that, if he doesn't he becomes the bogeyman. He has a tremendously strong brand, but even his personal brand would take a beating in such a controversial role.
Épisode 39 - Reasons Not to Care
17 mai 2022
In which John responds to a bad tweet by thinking about why we look for reasons not to care, and how to respond to the limits of our empathy.

Épisode 43 - A Casting Announcement
31 mai 2022
In which John reveals to the world who #19 on the call sheet is for the Turtles All the Way Down movie. (Me. It's me.)
Épisode 44 - What Everyone's Getting Wrong About Student Loans
3 juin 2022
The group with, on average, the worst outcomes...who are most likely to default and least likely to receive benefit from their educations are, for some reason, never a part of this conversation and I think it's very odd. Much love to all of the people in this situation, I know there are many watching, and I really hope we can do better by you and others who are in similar situations.

Greetings to my brand new -itis. In which John discusses illness, and his experiences with it, and the way we imagine disease.
Épisode 50 - 7 Movie Reviews in Four Minutes
1 juillet 2022
I don't not watch movies because I don't watch stuff, I just consume so much stuff generated by YouTubers and podcasters and authors other independent creators that I don't ever really think about movies. I think this is also why movies make me cry so much...they're just a much more effective medium for conveying emotion. Character+story+people's actual faces+music+cinematography can sometimes just SLAM into me and totally break me down. So it's actually unusual for me to get through a movie without crying. I often can't get through a PREVIEW! Especially when it's family stuff.
Épisode 51 - Director Hannah Marks Is Nervous To Meet You
5 juillet 2022
In which John chats with Turtles All the Way Down movie director Hannah Marks about dogs, thought spirals, car colors, and more. It is very hard to get 15 minutes of a director's time on a movie set, so HUGE THANKS to Hannah for doing this.
Épisode 52 - Sad COVID Boy Hank Green Eats Foods He Hates but Can't Taste
8 juillet 2022
So I have COVID and it sucks a lot but I figured I'd try some of my least favorite foods before I (hopefully very soon) regain my ability to smell. Turned out fantastic, honestly. 10 out of 10, would do all of this again (except the anchovies.)

Épisode 56 - What are These Boys Doing??
22 juillet 2022
Today I was reminded that my video about the James Webb Space Telescope from 2011 turned out to be a big deal internally for people working on JWST. It had undergone a lot of setbacks and not hitting budgets and there were a number of people who were starting to feel that maybe it would never happen, or wasn't worth the costs.
Épisode 57 - Has this artist ever seen a baby?
26 juillet 2022
In which John and Sarah spend five hours at the louvre museum in Paris seeking to answer the most important question in art history: have these artists ever seen a human baby?
Épisode 58 - How Climate Change /Actually/ Works...in 4 Minutes
29 juillet 2022
I totally get and agree with the instinct to simplify by saying "It's like a greenhouse" or "a heat-trapping blanket" but, like, what's actually going on? It's not that complicated! More energy is coming in than is going out because of WIGGLES. And yes, I'm talking about this because it feels like maybe MAYBE the US will have a climate bill that will actually, measurably reduce emissions on a fairly tight time scale which is massive.

9 août 2022
In which John harvests beans and makes chili while trying to get his head back inside of his body.
Épisode 63 - The Biggest Climate Deal in History Almost Didn't Happen
12 août 2022
The thing about this bill is that it's going to keep having a huge impact on the country for many many years and, mostly, we will not even notice. That's what happens with almost all good legislation. Of course, there will also be some bits of this that won't work as intended and they'll probably be big news stories. When you've got like 150 different pieces of a bill, not everything will be perfect! But it is quite a big deal for me to see America making these investments...even if I'm not gung-ho on all of them, and some of them legit piss me off...it's an amazing step that I did not think we would be making.
Épisode 64 - cars vs. covid
16 août 2022
It's thoughts from places but covid is the place. In which John gets Covid and becomes America's leading Cars vs. analyst. I literally might delete this later.
Épisode 65 - What if a lot of the Cynicism is Unjustified???
19 août 2022
What I see more than anything is that, when politicians are more interested in getting people involved in conflict, they become better at creating problems than solving them. On the national level, that's extremely common, and it's becoming more common on the local level. But I think that is /only/ because we are letting the conflict drive us into cynicism. I feel like, as long as the conflict machine (which is very clearly mostly driven by a reactionary right-wing set of fears) is in charge, it's going to get harder and harder and harder to solve even a single problem.
Épisode 66 - Flin Flon: One Book's Unlikely Survival
23 août 2022
In which John reads The Sunless City by J. E. Preston Muddock, a book that only survives because of a Canadian mining town on the border between Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Épisode 69 - How A YouTube Company Actually Makes Money
2 septembre 2022
I don't know if you'll be surprised by this, but even though I'm, like, constantly in the weeds of the budget, some things still surprise me when we zoom out...like, specifically that YouTube rev-share is still such a huge part of our business (it used to be like 90% though...so I guess it just feels smaller because it's been shrinking.) Thanks everyone for being a part of what we do!! We try to do it well, even if sometimes we don't know how to do it perfect!
Épisode 70 - Some Advice
6 septembre 2022

Épisode 79 - The Kony 2012 of Roads - Solar Freakin' Roadways
29 septembre 2022
I think we sometimes get stuck thinking that the only worthwhile solutions are the solutions that solve everything all at once. Certainly that's very exciting, and it would be very cool if we could get some of those for, like, transportation and medicine and democracy, but instead, it's mostly a bunch of work of lots of individuals doing small things that ends up making the world better. I get very skeptical when big simple solutions are proposed to me, and I think you should as well.
Épisode 80 - COMMIT TO THE BIT
30 septembre 2022
In which John celebrates bit commitment, and explores how the quality of the bit can sometimes matter less than the quality of the commitment to that bit.

Épisode 104 - What I Would Have Tweeted
16 décembre 2022
I'm feeling much better now. I'm also feeling quite good about not being on Twitter right now. It seems quite messy, and also increasingly not that important...but that's probably how it felt to everyone who wasn't on it. 2023 sure is going to be interesting...
Épisode 105 - The Best Books Get Better

In which John discusses why we read more Octavia Butler than John Dos Passos these days, and how Hank's books managed to foresee everything from ChatGPT to Late Stage Twitter.
Épisode 106 - You Cannot Trust Yourself (Hank's End of the Year Worries)
23 décembre 2022
This video had a whole section in it where I complained about how annoyed I get when I see other people who don't consider their impact get really surprised when people get mad at them and how nice it must be to just be blissfully ignorant and theN I REALIZED THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF THING I'M TALKING ABOUT NOT DOING ANYMORE!!! Amazing. Anyway...I hope everyone has a very very very very good new year!

My review of Auld Lang Syne, the New Year's Eve song, accompanying a winter walk through the woods. This is an excerpt from my book The Anthropocene Reviewed. I did this once before in 2020, and may make it a tradition of sorts. Happy New Year. May it be a year that justifies our hope.
Épisode 108 - This Boba Lid Lied to Me and I Don't Understand Why

Happy New Year's Everybody...I think the title says it all. Thanks to Faith who is the one who ordered the hot boba and reported to me the strange double-fonted number.

Épisode 20 - Is it Good or Bad that we Haven't Met Aliens?
10 mars 2023
I didn't mention one of the theories in this video, which is that all of the aliens are hiding from each other because there is some terrible insidious force in the universe that punishes anyone who is loud. This doesn't really seem likely to me because, look, malevolence is actually pretty rare in nature. Much more common is "I need that, you're using it, I don't care about you, so die" not "I am going to spend a bunch of resources SPECIFICALLY TO COME AND GET YOU." I also kind mis-stated the "Great Filter" hypothesis, because the filter could either be before or after the point where humans currently are, so it's kinda wrapped up in both the first and the second bits.
Épisode 21 - The Seduction of Despair

Épisode 29 - The Organism that Broke Biology
14 avril 2023
And it wasn't the last time we'd break biology either. We were so certain that there were such very particular buckets to put things into, but you probably haven't even heard of some of the weird things organisms get up to. Like conjugation?? What...you touch and exchange genetic information? Prokaryotic consortiums are like lichen but for bacteria. It's wild...wild wild times here on Planet Earth.

18 avril 2023
In which John says farewell to his friend and mentor Bill Ott, publisher of Booklist Magazine for over 30 years.
Épisode 31 - On TikTok Bans
21 avril 2023
In all likelihood, Montana's TikTok ban is impossible to implement, both legally and practically. A national ban would be a really significant loss, and I think it's worth recognizing that. The current frames I've been hearing are "TikTok is trash so of course we could ban it" or "TikTok is a treasure so of course we shouldn't ban it." A content platform is not its code, it is its cultures. To destroy that is a truly dramatic step and I hope the people considering doing that understand what they are proposing. I hope they are motivated by more than a distaste for social media and trying to look "tough on china." But, honestly, I don't know. I think we've gotten ourselves into quite a pickle and I think it's OK to say "I don't know what to do about this."
Épisode 32 - I Discovered a Soap Secret
28 avril 2023
As I type this I actually JUST got out of the shower, where I used Sun Basin's "Navigator." It's a really fresh, clean, herby one with gentle exfoliant. And, honestly, one of the best parts of Sun Basin is our product descriptions. An absolute delight!!!

23 mai 2023
In which John talks about cancer, humor, and accompaniment through a rough week. Thanks for being here with us.
Épisode 39 - My Cancer Press Tier List
26 mai 2023
As was reported might be the case, it turns out that the first day after chemo is pretty OK, but then it gets progressively worse until day 5 or 6. I'm now on day 7 and feeling OK. I've had many (but not all!) of the expected side effects, but my appetite has been good, which is very good for the quality of life! Glad to be through the worst of the first treatment, but obviously I've still got a long way to go. I wouldn't want everyone to think that Day 7 is indicative of how you feel while you're doing chemo...if you had seen me on Day 3 I would have been 100% horizontal.

Épisode 45 - Understanding Cancer Survival Rates
23 juin 2023
Well, yknow, It’s a weird one, but I make stuff about the things I’m thinking about and this is definitely one of them! It’s such a wild thing that we talk about cancer in a unified way when it is many hundreds of different diseases. Cancer isn’t a disease, it’s a way for disease to happen. And even with something as treatable as Hodgkin’s there are lots of ways it can be more or less dangerous, and sometimes it gets really stubborn! So far that isn’t happening with me, but I am very aware that it could. I’m not a population, I’m just one person, so I get to be on one side or the other! It’s good to actually understand what it all means.
Épisode 46 - Alone on the Cancer Boat: A Vlogbrothers Reunion
27 juin 2023
In which Hank and John hang out in the loading dock of the DFTBA.com warehouse and discuss cancer, boats, micromorts, expanding our understanding of what healthcare can be and do, and how despite the jokie jokies, this whole thing does kinda suck.
Épisode 47 - Bon Your Vivant
30 juin 2023
Today is the last chemo day of my current treatment plan!! I will feel terrible next week, and then I will mend up a bit before I start radiation, which will take a while but /should/ have significantly less impact in terms of symptoms. I will also have a fairly important scan next week at some point, and I'll have a big hunk of time before I hear back about the results...so that's quite scary! So, fingers crossed and all that...you never really know how it's gonna go but it seems like it's going well so far. I would definitely be very happy if this is the last of the chemo I ever have to do, but also, just grateful to have these tools.
Épisode 48 - What to Get for a Cancer Patient
7 juillet 2023
Oh!! And one more thing you can do…help the helpers. Whether that’s fun self-care products or reaching out to say you love them and they’re doing a great job. That’s what it seems like people mostly need. Cancer treatment is very hard…physically and psychologically. Knowing that I’m doing what needs to be done even if it really really sucks is extremely valuable.

I've pretty much only had good news since the diagnosis, which has left me waffling between feeling like there's definitely something terrible right around the horizon, and like I shouldn't be so harmed by this experience with the experience of other people has been so much worse.

Épisode 68 - The Worst Disease in Human History
15 septembre 2023
Allies in the fight against TB! Not always agreeing on how best to engage in that battle. Of course, there are TONS of other reasons that TB is good at being bad. And, indeed, it replicates slowly not just because of it's massive, expensive cell wall, but also because it seems like there is evolutionary advantage in doing that. Possibly because we have lived with it for so long, TB has evolved to be a long and lingering disease rather than one that explodes and kills quickly. What a mess life is.

You will probably not be surprised to find that I quite liked Pete, he's a big ol' nerd and is very focused on understanding people's problems and systems to help people rather than what rhetoric we happen to use to get there. That might be great for a national politician but it is very good for someone who is just in there getting work done. I made this video in a weird way (and it was not what the Pete team, like, /agreed/ to...so hopefully they don't mind...it seemed the proper way.)

Épisode 48 - Some Reasons why People Suck
14 juin 2024
If you can believe it this video is cut down significantly from its original length. I have been feeling a lot of frustration lately at our inability to forgive ourselves at all. Like, we're good at forgiving friends, bad at forgiving strangers, but worst of all at forgiving humanity in total, and I think that is in part because the price of admission to modern society seems to involve pointing a firehose of despair directly at your face.
Épisode 49 - The Tea

Épisode 54 - My Identity Crisis
12 juillet 2024
The funny thing is that, in my list of all the guys I am, I left out some really quite substantial guys!! But regardless, the important thing is I WILL BE THE FIRST SOCK MAN OF AMERICA!
Épisode 55 - The Assassination Attempt and the Comfort of Certainty
19 juillet 2024
I hope I make the case in this video that doomscrolling / obsessively watching the news in a time of some significant event makes sense even if it is not healthy. Sometimes people come at me for being irrational, and I'm like "Yeah, ok, I'm literally an animal trying to feel safe in the world."

26 juillet 2024
Apropos of nothing...
Épisode 57 - My Letter to the Future

Épisode 62 - I Have Uncovered an Olympics Mystery...
16 août 2024
Oh, and if you were curious, the reason why there are an odd number of swim events is because there is one mixed relay...where both men and women compete, so there isn't both a men's and women's event. I think there's actually 35 swimming events, not 37, but the point stands!!
Épisode 63 - The Olympics Mystery Explained!!!
19 août 2024
This is why things are hard!!!
Épisode 64 - BROMLEY!
20 août 2024

PIZZAMAS HAS RETURNED
Épisode 74 - The Forgotten Viral Video that Could Never be Made Today
24 septembre 2024
Pizzamas!!! I can't believe we sign up to do this every year. I have no idea how I'm going to make it work but I guess that's the whole idea! I think the biggest reason I love this so much is because I was /there/ for it, and it felt really big and weird and wild and important even though basically no one knew it was happening. One of my super powers has always been the ability to just believe things are important when other people don't.
Épisode 75 - You have no chance to survive make your time.
25 septembre 2024

Épisode 80 - What I learned from the weirdest day of my life
2 octobre 2024
I have been asked how I know when I've succeeded when I don't put much stock in dreams anymore, and I guess this video is the answer to that question. I don't think success actually exists, but helping definitely does.
Épisode 81 - Broadly in Favor of Humans
3 octobre 2024
In which John considers whether, broadly speaking, he is in favor of humanity.

Épisode 87 - I Don't Want them to Get Away With It...
25 octobre 2024
Honestly, part of why I didn't call on y'all to take any particular action against Danaher right now is that there is an awful lot going on with national politics in the US and it is hard to ask y'all to take on any extra weight right now. But no one in history has been free to only focus on one problem, so regardless of how the election goes (it is extremely close) we will need to keep fighting for a better world in all kinds of ways.

3 novembre 2024
Hello! I recorded this video before John and I made my Friday video (it was initially intended to be my Friday video!) and I wasn't sure if I should release both because there is some overlap, but there's also a fair bit of new ground covered here. So yeah! I figured it would be good to release it! It's a little atypical and I'm not sure how I feel about it but I'm working through my stuff, y'know!! If I don't release it now, I feel like I never will!! (also, yes, I did have a check sitting on my desk and Milo did have to blur it out so it wasn't in the video!)

Épisode 96 - Populism, Media Revolutions, and Our Terrible Moment
22 novembre 2024
What is Going On: Explained This is one of those videos that you could just keep writing forever but I guess I recently had cause to decide to finish it. I waffle back and forth about whether we are on the quick path or the long path here. What seems clear is that, if all trust gets destroyed, reality starts to matter a little less and people pick the reality that the refer. What Renee DiResta calls "Bespoke Realities." It's going to take time to put the pieces back together, but I do think that, when we do, it will be a better world. It's just that, most days, I think that's going to take forever.
Épisode 97 - Good News

I woke up this morning worried, despite the fact that I made this video earlier this week as a way to maybe not have that happen. But it does help me to at least recognize that the worry is trying to do something...it's not something I need to cast out, but something I need to accept, especially if I want to try and do interesting and hard things.

Épisode 104 - Fine, I'll Talk About the Drones...
20 décembre 2024
I was shocked how different my perception of the story was from what the actual story was. Honestly, I was not paying much attention to this before I started making this video, so maybe that's part of the problem, but when I started looking into it and realized that there were literally zero confirmed sightings of anything weird, I was pretty disappointed in how we've handled the whole thing!

Épisode 25 - Morality
4 avril 2025
You might not be surprised to hear that this video originally was a good bit more...involved in the current discourse. I pulled it up out of the weeds a little bit, but the reason I started wanting to write it is that I feel like the use of morality as a way of controlling people has become much more powerful than the use of morality to help people order their lives and society better. Like, we have a president who has been openly unfaithful to every wife he's ever had, but to many he's seen as a moral actor because he promises to control people in ways that feel like a moral imperative to some people. I don't like it!! But as I got into the subject I realized that perhaps it is worth saying that this project here and this community has a deep morality. I usually talk about this as "values" but perhaps it is time to own our morality...to take it back, and to be proud of it.
Épisode 26 - DOGE Is Not Cutting Government Spending
8 avril 2025
In which John explores the question of whether the federal government of the United States is getting smaller and leaner and more efficient.

11 avril 2025
It Makes a Kind of Sense -- The Trump Tariff Tier List So much has happened in the last 10 days that is some mix of totally bizarre and really bad that I've been having a hard time keeping it all in my head, so I figured I might use the tried-and-true method of a YouTube tier-list video to go through how bizarre these 10 days have been. I don't know if this makes it more or less overwhelming, but it helped me! (I think...who knows, maybe not...what a mess.)

Épisode 30 - The Unimportant Things
22 avril 2025
In which John celebrates third things that matter without mattering.
Épisode 31 - How We Form Opinions
25 avril 2025
It's always easy to tell the simplest story, and of course none of these stories are simple, but I hate when conversation gets driven into the places where we feel we need to protect our identities and keep us safe within our communities. We should not need to feel that way about things that are either obviously true or obviously in need of open minds and more data. But I suppose expecting humans to not be ridiculsouly social animals driven largely by in-group, out-group effects would be very silly of me.
Épisode 32 - I Found the Dumbest Time Zone
2 mai 2025
I actually came across a few other real weirdos that I will probably put in a Hankschannel videos. Time is very weird and I love it. I feel like you could write a whole book on time zones and I bet someone probably already did. Just the rabbit holes I went down for this one video were extremely satisfying!!! Also, I desperately wanted to make this a normal 4 minute Vlogbrothers video but I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST THAT SKILL!!! It's just so hard to tell a story that fast and so hard to cut out good stuff!!!

Épisode 36 - No One Knows When They Don't Die
16 mai 2025
The tragedy of prevention goes like this: The most effective way to save lives (prevention) is the least noticeable, which leads us to undervaluing it in our individual choices, in what we celebrate, and in public policy, and that undervaluing of prevention leads to a great deal of needless death and suffering.

Épisode 45 - My Religion
17 juin 2025
In which John discusses his religious faith, his theology, and the role that Christianity plays in his life.
Épisode 46 - "Influencer" Must Die.

Épisode 47 - Am I Cigarettes?
24 juin 2025
In which John discusses the years he was addicted to smoking, and the addiction he is currently trying to make sense of. p.s. This should go without saying, but don't smoke. All you're doing is transferring your wealth to the most pernicious companies in existence. And all you get in exchange is lung disease.

In which John discusses Focus Friend, the (?!?!?!) most popular phone app in the United States at the moment. My concerns are real, but so is my enthusiasm.
Épisode 64 - Are Languages Alive?
22 août 2025
Are we a substrate on which they exist? What happens if they continue to get more complex? One thing that is different is they do not compete inside of the ecosystem...or maybe a language is a whole ecosystem and individual units of the language do compete...sometimes outcompeting each other, which is what happens when words survive while others fall out of use. Dangit...I should've thought of that before I finished the video.... Maybe languages aren't alive but WORDS are? Is a language a superorganism of words? Probably best not to worry about it too much.
Épisode 65 - Not to Criticize Hank, but...
26 août 2025
In which John gently criticizes Hank only to learn something terrible about himself.
