The story about John in the airport is just hilarious. "It's just too much. I can't take it anymore." If only kid John knew how many more airports he would be in.
Once my parents got snowed in and the electricity went out and they had to live in that room for like a week, which reminds me that I once made a ten part video sorta featuring snow. -John
Hmmm I think I found a bit of some sort of scavenger hunt I’m not a part of. I participated in the whole isnotid scavenger hunt a few years ago and that was amazing but I’m too busy now lol
And also the people on the beach XD "The people on the beach, they think that we're crazy. The people on the beach, they think that we're crazy." (from the "Naughty Professor" video)
Well i'd say John just effectively sceduled the "have a nervous breakdown at an airport" -moment of his life to a time where he and everybody else could easily live with the consequences. Imagine the news this would cause today! Very clever Mr. 5 year old John Green.
John might be detached from time like Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse 5, so by the age of five he already had the memory of a lifetime's worth of airports.
"It's just too much. I can't take it anymore." !!! "One time you got tired of him yelling at you and you took a hammer to him. " "Where did I get a hammer?!" . . . "I don't know." "She's wearing Chanel."
ElectricMichaelangela oops right you are, wasn't paying attention while writing this ... fortunately I can now edit it and pretend it never happened lol first time i'm glad they changed something about youtube
I feel like John and his dad talk just alike and Hank and his mom talk just alike.. LOVE THIS! "John just calmly laid down on the floor...." best. moment. ever haha
Your parents are the coolest. I would totally watch them if they had their own channel, or just a regular segment on vlogbrothers. I want to learn where they get all the nerdiness from!

My favourite part was the end. Where the 'thankyou for being my mum' had hugs and kisses, but the 'thankyou for being my dad' was just words and stern faces. I'm not trying to be funny, I just laughed at the familiarity of the fact that lots of sons and fathers seem to just KNOW they love each other.
Good to know! I was unaware of this. Just figured I'd attempt to be funny and plug something said in the video to your comment :P DFTBA, by the way! :)
Ah, finally we meet the parents. I think this relationship is finally going places. In all seriousness though it was nice to hear their thoughts and stories.
I quite like videos in which people include their family. They tend to be full of the warm fuzzies and the funny moments that are just funny _because_.
The next time someone asks the Green parents if Hank is okay with John's success, they should say "Well he used to have a problem with it, but then he WON AN EMMY."
Too much reading and screen watching probably. www.npr.org/blogs/goatsandsoda/2015/02/05/383765377/why-is-nearsightedness-skyrocketing-among-chinese-youth
John mentioned that their dad once asked him to move a pile of clothes, and John said, "dad, that's Hank." So yeah, I'm thinking he must wear contacts.
John didn't even like airports when he was five, the gray speckled walls must have left quite the negative impression. Great video, I wish my parents were that awesome.
"Youth is counted sweetest by those who are no longer young. Nostalgia is inevitably a yearning for a past that never existed, and when I'm writing there are no bees to sting me out of my sentimentality.

Carlos Chism God I love that quote, it also made me and my niece to find the smoking hole when John was on the TFiOS tour in Birmingham. I was still smoking then so couldn't resist. :-)
::Standing ovation:: Yay Mom & Dad Green! i love how their friends "CLEARLY understand" what John does and think he's so much more famous than Hank. Lol! Only in some circles. And the fact that John was a "horrible" child gives me SO MUCH HOPE for one of my own kids.
I never knew about Hank's brother, until a week ago. Heck, I didn't know that Hank had a different channel until I watched youtubers react. Hank, youtube know's you're famous. Great job on your shows!
***** Wow, that was so stereotypical it hurts. You might have noticed nerdfighters in general aren't your stereotypical girly-girls and manly-men (I'm sure som are, but a smaller percentage than the general population). So there really isn't much of a good base for your reasoning.
You both are so much like your dad! And your dad's story about John in the airport, sounds a lot like John's stories about Henry. And your parents should be in more videos, vlogparents! AND THAT IS A PRETTY FIREPLACE!
This is one of the vlogbrothers videos that I come back and watch regularly. It's just calm and happy and you can just tell that they all really love each other.
It's really cool to get to know some of the other people who make Nerdfighteria possible. Thanks for appearing in front of the camera, Mom and Dad Green!
I hope hank doesnt feel bad that john green is "more succesful" than him because I think he's amazing and i first knew about the vlogbrothers through scishow
I don’t think I’m crazy so hear me out At 1:10 their father saying “perfectly fine” reminds me so much of how Hank would do it and then 2:48 with “encourage” it reminds me of John with the tense type way of giving a sentence and then just slowly exhaling. Obviously they grew up with their father, I find it funny though just how exact some of the mannerisms are, even in a four minute video clip.
"It's just too much, I can't take it anymore." That's a little early to be having an existential crisis, John. At 17 this is how I feel most of the time.
I love the fact that Father Green has one word tips on life. Parenting: Encourage, Marriage: Persistence, I half expected to hear Educating: Discipline straight from Sister Act 2 lol
Oh my God, John's non-tantrum in the airport is my favorite John story ever.
It feels like it could have been a story about him just last week.
"the people in the airport think that I'm crazy the people in the airport think that I'm crazy"
***** omg that is so trueee!!!!!!!

It's the most John Green thing I've ever heard.
"It's just too much, I can't take it anymore..." I pictured grown-up John doing this...
I can picture a slightly more melodramatic Henry doing that :)
KTGetc YES!
I think that should be the next punishment for John. next time he's in the airport he has to do that.
Yay social anxiety!
John's age really doesn't change that image all that much.
John: Having existential crises even at 5 years old.

"John's grades were higher, even then." This is the most parent-y thing ever said.

@Maddie 99 oh cool! Thanks for the info!
John hasn't changed at all since he was 5. That's incredible.
"John was always into...embellishing the truth"
He's a novelist. It's like his job to lie ;)
@@KyahTheAuthor more like it's his job to hide the truth in a "lie"
That impression of John at the airport was ON POINT and I could totally see him saying that.
Love that story!
The airport story though... so the people in the airport have ALWAYS thought he was crazy.
YES

Even as a child, John knew that he would be spending all of his time at an airport, and it was just too much.
You....you made my day.
Well i'd say John just effectively sceduled the "have a nervous breakdown at an airport" -moment of his life to a time where he and everybody else could easily live with the consequences. Imagine the news this would cause today! Very clever Mr. 5 year old John Green.
Thing is you can totally see John as a really annoying child. Partly because that sounded exactly like something he'd do now.
haha. i didnt think of that. so true
John might be detached from time like Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse 5, so by the age of five he already had the memory of a lifetime's worth of airports.
"so you used math" "we're such nerds" i can see where you guys get it...awesome parents are awesome.
Airports have been oppressing John from an early age.
Being a nerd runs in the family.
2:48 Number 1 parenting tip: Encourage - so, so, so deep and simple. Felt a lot of emotions with that one single word - encourage
I agree with you.
Imagine the IQ of this family combined
mia a big number
Don't forget to add Katherine and Sarah's IQs. They're also very smart.
Above 9000
I want to hear more stories about John and Hank as kids!
Me too!
I'm so glad to know that John's problems with airports started so early.
"It's just too much. I can't take it anymore." !!!

Clearly those gray speckled walls bothered John from an early age
2:52, papa Green looks EXACTLY like John. I love when you can see a child in their parent's face, even if just for a second! :D
He reminds me of Hank and John at the same time.
Haha John having existential crises at 5 - yeah sounds about right LOL Mom and Dad Green thank you for raising such awesome human beings :)
it was John :)

Such a drama queen !!!
Your parents are the coolest. I would totally watch them if they had their own channel, or just a regular segment on vlogbrothers. I want to learn where they get all the nerdiness from!
I'm not even a parent (yet?) but I'd love to read a book concerning the parenting of Hank and John by Mom and Dad Green.
A family of writers. So cute.
Or a The Great Brain style book about their childhood antics
John Green: A Fan of Airports since 1977
Hank Green: Taking 0% of John's BS since 1980
"It's just too much. I can't take it anymore." That is the best John Green story that has ever landed upon my ears.

What is 'grimace' a measure of?
Response to physical stimuli - pinching their toe makes them cry out, etc.
Can we scrap the 4 minute rule just for this interview thing, french the llama this is freaking awesome
'Hank Tried to Kill Me with a Hammer' is one of my favourite Vlogbrothers videos! :D
"I can't take it. It's just too much." Even then John? Even then?
Haha oh how I laughed at this part.
Aww. Next question Tuesday you have to answer: "How did you and John raise such perfect parents?"
This was adorable. Also, good to know that John's hatred for airports started early.
The airport story is superb.
"It's just too much."-5 year old John Green.

yup that's pretty accurate for me with my parents
Well now, it is obvious to me where all the awesome comes from.
Hank and John come from some pretty fine stock.
i think John still does that in airports
"John's grades were higher even then"
Isn't it like an established fact that Hank's grades in school were MUCH higher than John's were?
Maybe John embellished the truth on how high his grades were in school, haha
It's possible but John has shown report cards on this channel before and Hank had like all A's, and John's were much lower than that.
Good to know! I was unaware of this. Just figured I'd attempt to be funny and plug something said in the video to your comment :P DFTBA, by the way! :)
DFTBA!!!! :)
Ashley Meijer That bothered me too! Maybe she was being sarcastic? :p
*applauds Green parents*
"It's just too much. I can't take it" LMAO!
Hank that was probably the most solid sequence of claps I've ever heard. Such crispness and rhythm it soothes the mind.
Your Mom looks PRECISELY EXACTLY the way I imagine Mrs. Weasley from the Harry Potter books. WOW!
thank you!
"Encourage" awwwww. That's the best.
"We're such nerds"
Clearly it runs in the family :P
1:08
omg Hank you sound so much like your Dad
Hahahah! Totally.
Ah, finally we meet the parents. I think this relationship is finally going places. In all seriousness though it was nice to hear their thoughts and stories.
Mom & Dad Green are pretty cool.
Your parents are charming, intelligent seeming people, and noticing the various family resemblances is thoroughly, THOROUGHLY fascinating.
I quite like videos in which people include their family. They tend to be full of the warm fuzzies and the funny moments that are just funny _because_.
Haha, they math'ed their way into their home...looks like nerdiness runs in the family! I bet it's regulated by the Awesome gene :D
The next time someone asks the Green parents if Hank is okay with John's success, they should say "Well he used to have a problem with it, but then he WON AN EMMY."
good advice. 'Hank won the f'ing Emmy! not John!' he screams... but not really. they're both awesome. lots of awesome to go around, eh?
"no. 1 parenting tip: 'encourage' " i like that so much
Mom: Looks like John, acts like Hank.
Dad: Looks like Hank, acts like John.
well, that's the impression that I got.
I noticed that too! his dad looks exactly like him!
This is great, Hank!! Such a cool idea for a video.
What are the odds that both boys wear glasses and neither parents do.
you're right, that is weird, maybe the parents wear contact lenses?
i swear their dad was seen with glasses in a brotherhood 2.0 video
Too much reading and screen watching probably.

"It's just too much, I can't take it anymore."
I laughed so hard at this (:
Your parents make everything make more sense about you and John.
I want John to reenact lying in the airport.
Yes! That would be amazing.
I want to hear more about John's childhood. I feel this could be one of his next books.
I suspect, in a way, it's ALL of his books.

I literally applauded at the end.
This a new favorite video... I love the Green parents! Thanks for having such awesome kids!
Wait, John is more famous? I guess I watch Sci show more than crash course, so I see Hank a lot more.

yeah, it was a joke. Hank always got higher grades in HS and College anyway :)

Speaks like him to.
I started clapping before Hank after he said, "everybody, my dad." Glad I'm on the same wavelength.

Even at 5 years old, John could jot handle the airport. Classic.
If only he had known, twas only the beginning...
