Good Morning John, Almost every Thursday
for as far back as I can remember, which in fairness is not that far,
I have left the entire day unblocked so that I can make a VlogBrothers video,
and mess around, and do it to the
standard that I want to do it and just have a good old time.
It’s a lovely part of my life and right now. It is 5:59 on Thursday and I have just started
and I haven’t written anything down. It’s been a bit of a wild week.
There’s just been a lot. I’m not gonna get into it.
And I lied I have written some words, here they are.
I still haven’t made a video and I have no ideas, help!
And I posted that on Twitter, and I’m just gonna do what you say.
Chair ranking. Alright, so this is chair number 1.
This is my best chair. It’s the one I sit on all the time.
My mother actually painted it. Isn’t this beautiful?
We have this chair here. This is my microscope chair.
This one’s not that great, I’m gonna give it like a seven out of ten.
Then over here is a drum throne. It’s a pure disaster.
That’s the only other chair in here. I’m gonna give it like a zero out of ten.
Every single time I sit on it, it falls.
Do the format, bestie. Maybe important for people to know
is that the format isn’t easier. I mean, I agree that it’s fun.
But you still have to like, make the video.
You still have to have all of the words that you put into it.
So yeah, it’s gonna have a format section.
A format part of it.
But it’s gonna be mostly regular video.
Dan Lewis wants me to talk about how niche escalators are.
Which, he probably knows more about than I do.
But I can say that we recently lost our only escalator in Missoula.
It was in the Herberger's.
But then we get another one cause there’s one at the new airport.
So, we’re back baby.
This person wants me to call a random number
and talk to whoever answers.
I’m not doing that,
but I did say someone leave a phone number and I will call you.
So we’ll see if someone leaves their phone number.
Maybe a book recommendation video.
I just finished two books that I loved a lot.
One was
She Who Became the Sun by Shelly Parker-Chan,
which was haunting and beautiful and kind of terrifying.
Not in a horror way, but in a human way.
We humans are capable of a lot. And another which I should have read
the first eight times someone recommended it to me,
but it took me nine was Children of Time
by Adrian Tchaikovsky It’s just chemistry and war
and space and evolutionary biology and humans and spiders and it’s great.
Nix asks if I can talk about Crash Course in Spanish.
Yeah I can. We’re doing Crash Course in Spanish!
We’re starting out with my favorite of the subjects Chemistry, or Química.
Produced in Spanish from the bottom up. Writers, editors, hosting, all of it.
It’s very exciting. There’s only a few episodes up so far,
but they will continue to come out. We are making them now.
I’m so excited it’s finally happening. Dylan wants to see pelicans.
So here’s a pelican and another
and another and another
and another. And another.
Jake says piezoelectric activity of bone cells.
I dont know man, that sounds great!
Is that real? Bone has piezoelectric properties
because of the highly oriented and patterned structure of
collagen and collagen’s ability to respond to mechanical load.
When shearing force is applied to collagen and they slip past
each other a piezoelectric charge
is generated. What??!
You’ve got electric bones. We’ve got electric bones.
And I didn’t know that? And I didn’t know that?
Jake! Jake, thank you.
Thank you. On behalf of all of us.
Well John, I’ve been recording this video for a pretty long time now.
I just looked over at the timer. Seems like that’s gonna be
4 minutes of content no problem. We’ll see.
You probably also know about these Hanklerfish that I made for the
Project for Awesome. They’re all sold out.
But I did make a design based on it. And I put it on a t-shirt.
It’s been a long time since I made a design and put it on a shirt..
I’m excited to have done that and it’s
at dftba.com If you would like it,
it is there. John, I’ll see you on Tuesday.
Hey Amy, it’s Hank how’s it going?
Alright! Where are you? At Disney World.
Are you at Disney World as a visitor or a cast member?
You sounded so disappointed that you’re just a visitor.
I need to finish making this video now. Please don’t share my phone number
with people. Ok, ok. Thank you, goodbye.
