    Both fantastic, best-selling authors, and the video description's got "...we *can answering* your questions..." lol. What organizing Vidcon does to people...

      I was confused about that too at first but i think it's supposed to be john and hank together again (because we can) answering your questions.

    Wow, what a throwback with that intro. Brought me back to when John and Hank made their first reunion video at the beach for Brotherhood 2.0. I don't think I stopped smiling the whole day after seeing it.

    GOSH you and Hank talking about how the end of this channel caused a great and terrible fear to form in the pit of my stomach and now there is a non-insignificant chance that I might fall into a bit of an existential crisis for the rest of the evening so THANKS FOR THAT GREEN BROTHERS.

    What do you call a John Green inside joke? A dab joke.

    My home has been a #ndz since the very first dab that was ever dabbed.

    A reunion video on my birthday. I'm elated. I just turned 21 and the best part of my entry into the 20s was discovering and exploring the brilliant content you guys have created across books, youtube, podcasts and beyond. Continue being awesome and functioning as the presence that the internet desperately needs.

    Cutting to a close up of Hank's reflection in the frame on the wall when he's talking about the balcony is excellent filmmaking
