Hi. This video contains a code. Moving forward, many (but not all) videos will contains codes. When a video contains a code, I will inform you that it contains a code in a pinned comment.
If you figure out the code, please do not spoil the code for other people. If you are trying to figure out the code, you can probably look in the replies here for hints. Okay. I hope you like the video. -John
My new hobby. Green codes.
Gonna wait for hints because I have no idea

thanks to this supposed code i'm now watching this video at at .25 speed. I don't even know if it's a numeric code or some sort of hidden written message.
The way John talks about AFC Wimbledon deadass makes me tear up and I've watched exactly one soccer game in my life
+++
You can imagine what it's like for me - I grew up in Wimbledon and they're my family's team! It will always be the weirdest collision in my life but also the best
I read this comment near the beginning of the video and I was like pshhh, they must be exaggerating. And then I watched the rest of the video. Tears were jerked.
Yeah, I've never been interested in the general discussion around Sports, especially because I live in the US and my dad, as a psychology Professor, is generally against the way injuries are discussed in American football. But I love the way John talks about AFC Wimbledon as a community, and I started to open up to a more complex idea of sports and fans of sports teams.
Listening to The Anthropocene Reviewed has made me realize that John can make me cry about literally anything.
If someone told me when I became a vlogbrothers fan that I would deeply care about a third-tier soccer team across the ocean I wouldn't have believed them and yet...here I am
Literally same
I don't even like soccer, and yet I have a favourite soccer team.
Ain't that the truth...
Right, didnt see this coming 12 years ago when i clicked on John's video about Sarah Palin.
Bruh same. I don't even watch soccer. I watch cricket but hey..John supports it so..
John: Yeah, I get why some people are bothered by sports
Me: Yeah, that's exactly why they bother me
John: AFC Wimbledon is coming home to Plough Lane
Me: (starts weeping with overflowing joy)
Same. -John
Oh my goodness, I started crying too and I didn't even knew they existed beforehand!
@@ololo518 tbh, one of my favorite things about Nerdfighteria is the conviction that things like this _matter_. Like, from a capitalistic perspective, who cares where the new stadium is? A stadium is a stadium. But my heart believes that it matters, and I love that this channel, and this community, are so consistently firm in their convictions that yes, it DOES matter. It matters that the stadium is in Plough Lane. It matters that humans can learn the geological composition of Mars. It matters that we care about each other, and try to make the world a better place. It makes Nerdfighteria feel like home.
Omg yes 🤣
I didn't cry but I felt the weepiness
@@RainaRamsay I, as probably many more, struggle to find good things about world in 2020 (for now I found out that wild polio was wipe out in Africa, we only have it in Pakistan and Afganistan and seriously break-throughs with polio is so great and no one is talking about it) and I need this things. They don't have to be big, but I need them coming. Just this little facts that people are not broken beyond repair.
My teacher saw me watching this video during school today and shot me the most approving look I've ever seen
Anthropocene reviewed was (one of) the third thing in my relationship.
Every week we would have to travel and we'd listen to it at our car and it would take us two or three one-hour trips to finish a single podcast, because we would pause and talk about what we thought and how we felt about what you were saying. We'd go on endless tangents and we'd learn so much about ourselves and how we perceive the world.
Now we've been stuck at home for almost six months and driving to São Paulo listening to anthropocene reviewed with my girlfriend is one of the things I miss most about the pre covid life.
acho que a gente não se conhece, mas tô comentando aqui pra falar que espero que num futuro pós covid vocês venham pra alguma gathering nerdfighter aqui em sp!
This is beautiful x
Thanks for sharing this with me. I hope those days return for you soon--with or without the anthropocene reviewed. -John
@@vlogbrothers we'll have the audiobook! We'll be fine hahahah

for old time's sake: WHATS IN THE BOXES JOHN?
50,000 sheets of paper. :) -John
He is going to draw four circles on each sheet 😢

I saw a kid wearing a pride Pizza John shirt in the cafeteria at my university yesterday and complimented them... it made my day. I'm so thankful for you and for this community . Sending peace and love from Oklahoma :)
That's awesome to hear! -John
Rainbow colored merchandise?
Oklahoma shoutout!

That shirt is a third thing!
"Third Things" are really something that makes relationships so good. Everyone's is different, just like every friendship or marriage is, but that "third thing" really brings people together.
I’m an actress in New York City and this sentiment really rings true for a lot of us right now. Our entire industry has been shut down, we are being offered no assistance, and our government has told us that we should just “try something else.” Many of us were already working “something else” jobs (commonly in hospitality/service industries) when the pandemic began, and many of us lost those jobs as well. Arts & Culture is a multi-billion dollar industry and we’re being told we’re unimportant and unnecessary, all the while there is a surge in demand for content because everyone is at home bored. Our “third thing” has become something totally unrecognizable, but I could not be more proud of my community for rising to the occasion and continuing to make art in new and beautiful ways!
I’m reading the fault in our stars and turtles all the way down currently, because I’m new here, and it’s really moving. Your an amazing author.
Thanks, Neal! Great to hear you're enjoying those books. -John
And this was precisely how I became nerdfighter, yay!
welcome to nerdfighteria!
Welcome to nerdfighteria! It's amazing here and I hope you find what you were looking for (and more!) here!

In my urban planning classes we talk a LOT about “third places” and how integral they are to strong, happier communities, and it’s something people are starting to pay a lot more attention to in the field. There are some great books on the topic (which as far as I’m aware was introduced by Ray Oldenburg) if youre ever interested!
That’s actually really interesting.
Yes! Please! Two recommendations??!
Yeah! I'm a librarian (in Germany) and there is a trend to transform public librarys into free "third places" for everyone. People don't just come to borrow books, films or games, they stay to learn, read the newspaper or drink coffee.
The concept of "third places" is great!
Nice to see this concept mentioned here. I've heard of "third places", but never "third things".
Alana Demaske “The Great Good Place” is a book specifically on third places by Ray Oldenburg who was the sociologist who actually coined the term “third place”. Also, because creating those places can have a lot to do with zoning & resource allocation, “The Color of Law” is a really great book to read that kind of dives into some of the reasons why the American landscape looks the way it does and why changing that is complicated and difficult to do!
At 37 during a divorce I am amazingly comforted by hearing from John and Hank. It’s nice these days to hear words that aren’t about Covid or my marriage ending.
I'm sorry about your marriage.
Scott Korin thank you. It’s an important change that needs to happen it’s just hard.
@@EbyKat I'm 38 and waiting for the government to say that we are in fact officially divorced. It is hard.
I’m sorry that you are going through this but I hope that you can also find joy in the happiness that is sure to follow when the grief has finally worn off! It is hard but it is also an opportunity for growth and exciting newness and hopefully many many more wonderful moments that will come! You are supported and cared about :)
John, at some point in the future can you please write a children’s book telling the story of AFC Wimbledon? It would be so fantastic
I don't know how to write for younger kids. I would like to write a soccer novel someday! -John
@@vlogbrothers Cut down the usual amount of pages by 900% and use the most simplified synonyms instead of your usual vocabulary. Could work.
@vlogbrothers Ahh thank you John! I bet if you decided to, you could do it and it would be amazing, I believe in you
*
@@vlogbrothers wow I never thought I see the day where John would just say "I can't do that" or "I don't know how to do that". You don't know your potential till you get pushed down and fail and get up and try again. Of all the things you and hank and this community of nerdfightaria have taught me personally, it's don't give up, don't surrender, to keep trying something until you succeed.
John ill see you on Tuesday.
I’m now thankful for the 4 minute limit since who knows how many times I’ll need to rewatch this to find the code 😂
BTS and the vlogbrothers are definitely my third thing with a lot of my friends, and it makes me so so happy.
Same here!
This makes me even more excited to be inside Plough Lane. I was trying to explain show me the way to Plough Lane to my mum a few weeks ago and I spent most of it trying not to cry at the idea of coming home.
First day of school and I left crying.. thanks John, this video helped me calm down a bit :)
Sorry. I really hope it'll get easier for you. Even in normal times, first days are hard. And these are not normal times. -John
@@vlogbrothers thank you. I'll just have to try again tomorrow and hope it will be better, that's all I can do.
Good luck on your first day!!! You can get through these tough times and thrive! 💜 sending all my support
@@lightsquared Tysm
good luck! school can be overwhelming, so i hope you take care of yourself as well
I can't wait for someone who is smarter than me and has more time to find the code.

@@shalvigarimanegi You might want to check out the discord server then www.tuataria.com/join/

if your seriosly interested I could tell you, although it would take the fun out of it
My world's on fire
How 'bout yours
/That's the way/ I like it
And I'll never get bored
I love these semi cryptic titles that make you sing the song to find the lyric
Destruction Hamster what about Led Zeppelin?
I thought they stopped doing the All Star Lyrics. Because I didn't think that was a line in the song. It turns out I'm wrong.
I literally search allstar lyrics and couldn’t find “that’a the way”! Thanks for pointing it out
Thank you for posting that- it was driving me crazy
What about Spoon? What's special about Smash Mouth?
I very much like the Third Thing concept. Dungeons and Dragons and music for my church choir is the third thing that brought my boyfriend and I together.
My favorite thing about the vlog brothers is the yin and yang that you two provide. John's posts are pensive and sober and calming, and Hank's are energetic and exciting and passionate. And yet your joint positivity, both the restful positivity of John and the restive positivity of Hank, never fails to feed my soul. Thank you for my twice weekly dose of awesome.
I appreciate John's varied interests. I value seeing the world as a many different stories that come together to form our lives.
There's something so wonderfully bittersweet about the lyrics "show me the way to Plough Lane, I'm tired and I want to go home". We all have those little places that may not mean a lot to anyone other than use but those things mean HOME, you're here, you're safe and everything is okay if even for a short time. It could be anything from your favourite song to a cup of tea or a friendship that has lasted years. For AFC fans to not have a "home" for so long because of corporate greed saddens me but knowing that at last they do, at last all the fans and the players have a place where they can plant their flag and sing their songs, cheer and weep THAT is something that makes my heart happy.
I love having your and your brother's content as my third thing. Whether it is a shared laugh at some beautiful silliness or a prelude to a deeper conversations and connections. Thank you!
For someone watching a lot of WNBA lately, I find this video so timely.
At first I thought I didn't like the WNBA because it was too slow and then I realized I barely like the NBA and maybe I just wasn't that big of a basketball fan. The WNBA does feel more "real" though. I don't know how to explain it. It reminds me of the MLS, and i freaking love the MLS
I’ve had floor seats at a WNBA game (a loose ball rolled right at me and I tossed it back to the ref), and I can assure everyone that those women haul serious ass up and down the court!
I’d only sat that close at boys high school games, so seeing that WNBA contest pinned my ears back with the talent level.
Do you find it more appealing than the NBA? If so, why?
Something about John just sooths my anxiety no matter what he talks about. It makes me like humans again too :)
Whenever you speak about Wimbledon I cry, there is something beautiful and nostalgic about it. Though I have no reason to be nostalgic about it. You and Hank were mine and my best friend's third thing for a long time and I'm forever grateful for the joint rapture we had while watching your videos. I'm so excited for the Anthropocene Reviewed, I think it'll become one of my new favorites.
Just learned about joint attention in my undergrad psych seminar on development! Same concept as a “third thing” and it’s basically that sharing attention on the same object fosters a sense of inclusion and it’s a skill that children have to learn. Gotta love making connections to class material
It still baffles me that John and as a result, thousands of nerdfighters, are so personally invested in my family's football team. I grew up in London, they are my team, my dad's team and were my grandad's too. It's the strangest thing to have these worlds collide but it also incredibly lovely
A code! How exciting. Finally something i can spend hours figuring out that does not inevitably harm my mind much more than the dreary existence in a pandemic.
It is a timely opportunity
Oh my Goood, we're doing codes, I already know I'm going to love being terrible at this.
My grandparents’ third thing is a town called Rugby in Tennessee. When they got married about thirty years ago, they discovered this tiny town on the Cumberland Plateau and made it a second home. They go every weekend if they can and hold different positions there. Their church and friends are there. A film with them in it plays in the theater there. Because of their love for it, I grew up loving it. I volunteer there because I love it and want to spread my love for it. If you have the ability, please look up Historic Rugby. Though a town favorite burned down this weekend and it’ll take a lot out of us, my family and everyone else who loves Rugby won’t give up on it. This weekend, we held an Irish Road Bowling tournament so we could all gather and be together to celebrate. We even retrieved our trophy out of the burnt Harrow Road Cafe.
I'm pretty sure I've heard john justify his love of sports at least 10 times now and honestly it shouldn't have to be like that. People shouldn't have to justify what they love, people should just love what they choose too. I adore sports and it's a huge part of my life and I find meaning in it ❤️
one day i stumbled upon a book in the store titled,"Paper Towns". The title sounded interesting so i bought the book.After i finished reading it in 2 days i ran to the bookstore to buy another one of your books.John, i feel like your books give me the gift of seeing the world in a whole new perspective.Not just the books.These videos you and Hank post too.I just read Looking For Alaska a few days back.Loved the book.Thanks for changing the way i see the world hence,changing the world around me.
From the first frame of this video, I was in tears. Seeing the boxes in the corner instantly and unexpectedly sparked some thing of nostalgia and giddiness inside me that made me pause.
The Anthropocene Reviewed has been such a light for me in these past few months, and this book feels like such a generous and profound act of kindness.
I have been working in pediatric intensive care for the past year, which has come with its inherent stresses but with the added global crisis and my own mental health challenges, I have been looking for outlets and inspiration to practice gratitude. This podcast and book gave me so much of that. And your review of “Googling Strangers” absolutely broke me.
The first signed copied I preordered was TFioS back when I was a senior in high school.
Nearly a decade later, I am still thankful- maybe more than ever for this community and your work.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
This was one of the loveliest essays I've ever heard. I will remember the Third Thing.
John, I've read Looking For Alaska. When I reached the end of the countdown, I started crying, hard. You made me cry because you made me care. Thank you.
Tuatarians, We have a new mission.
#onthehunt surges back into relevance!
I’m so grateful for Tua right now bc I would never figure this out on my own
See you on Tua, the discord server we built the last time John did a hunt! www.tuataria.com
So happy for an excuse to come back. I’ve been missing y’all lately
John is the only person who can make me cry no matter what the subject is. I love the idea of the “third thing” and the shared attention to it that brings people together. Need to read that essay. Beautiful video, John ♥️.
Over the summer my best friend got me into watching Formula 1 racing. I've never been into motor sports (not a car person) but even so, the announcement of the end of the Williams team as the last family owned racing team as well as Pierre Gasly's Grand Prix win in Italy has made me feel more emotions in the last week than I've felt this entire pandemic. The idea that I don't really care cars or racing but actually rather enjoy sharing a "3rd object" with someone I care deeply about, is really quite lovely.
Only John Green can bring tears to my eyes, and hope to heart talking about football/soccer.
When I first saw this video's title I thought it said "This is the way" and I wondered if you were quoting the Mandalorian lol
My world's on fire, how 'bout yours?
*That's the way* I like it and I'll never get bored
I wasn't sure if they'd finished it out yet, and I got worried they'd started a new one, and the next one was going to be "uh huh uh huh"
Same!
I do not watch football but the passion with which john talks about AFC Wimbledon has had me rooting for the team for years now.
Every time John says "Show me the way to plough lane" it always sends shivers down my spine.
So grateful for being able to share in John's passion.
ALSO I so desperately need a signed copy of the Anthropocene Reviewed Book but I can't get one in Dubai :(((((
PLEASE DO A WORLDWIDE TOUR ONCE THE PANDEMIC IS OVER THANKS ILY
It really is amazing how John and Hank can talk about a topic I really don't care about, like football, and make me care about it through their execution
I feel like the third thing not only enables deepenings of relationships, but also initiations of them. For example, by finding someone new that I discover I share a third thing with (such as Nerdfighteria), this almost magically give us something in common from the beginning, a sort of foundation to create a "we" going forward. I am deeply grateful to you, John, for creating several such third things for a great many people - people who might not have found eachothers were it not for the third things of your making.
Good morning, John! Your AFC Wimbledon story has really resonated with me. Thank you for sharing it
The two things John loves bringing up 1. AFC Wimbledon 2. That time Hank stole his baseball cards. Never change John. :)
One of my favorite videos of the channel. So wise but also rich of context and history
ok, hi. I usually never comment on anything anywhere, mostly because of anxiety and other mental health issues but gosh how do I even start. John, you are a truly wonderful person. You changed my life in a totally positive and good way. And I know there’s plenty other people thinking and feeling the same. You inspired me deeply.
It’s been about ten years since I’m “following” you and your lovely book journey. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart I’m extremely thankful for your existence.🌷🌻
I grew up a few miles from Wimbledon and used to cycle past the dog track (which was formally the stadium) every day for several years. I cycled down plow lane thousands of times and it seems so odd and yet so familiar having you explain this to me. I vaguely knew the story about MK Dons and AFC Wimbledon, having been told it in passing but you and I share an awkward puzzlement about sports that kept me detached from it. Now I see it all in a new light.
your description of the third thing reminded me of one of my favorite quotes about love: "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction" -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
My brother and I just became part-owners of AFC Wimbledon after watching this!
I'm not generally a sports fan, but I listen to the pod and I'm always excited to hear the Wimbledon news and this video actually brought me to tears.
This rings really true! Third things seem very essential to all sorts of relationships. Third things can be hikes, walks, lunch, coffee, movies, video games. We as people kind of need third things to hang out. I only have one friend who just invites me over to do nothing, but talk and she is one of my all time favorite people for it. I love that she does it, because there’s almost an undercurrent of acknowledgment that like hey you are enough, I like you, even though we do third things like get food or go for walks top it’s refreshing to just sit and talk sometimes.
I just graduated from university and my thesis (dissertation) primarily dealt with how people gain and develop identity through sport. Whilst I understand that sports may not be everyone's cup of tea and may not seem to be important, but regardless of whether you're into sports, movies, novels, travelling or anything else, it's these experiences that makes us who we are and make our lives so much more enjoyable. Sometimes the things that matter the least in a weird way matter the most
Hey, thanks for being the third thing for me and my sister. We really appreciate you sharing your time with us, and I don’t know what our friendship would be without you.
I don't know if it's the academic stress. Or the PMS. Or the tiredness. Or the overwhelm, but this made me cry a tear of joy.
It reminds of what Jacob Goldstein said in “Dear Hank and John” about whether he calls himself an author or journalist now that his book is out:
“For me the important thing isn’t the sorta identity “what am I” thing, but rather just....finding people who know how to do the work I’m doing, who are struggling with similar things, who I can talk to NOT in great big abstract ways, but in really specific ways...and people who have worked on those kinds of things and can make help me solve them, THOSE are my REAL people, my REAL “talk to about work” people.
And so Campbell, I hope you can find people who are in some way kind of doing the work you’re doing, and talk with them about your work, I feel like that’s the most promising place to look”
Edit: His book is “Money: The True Story of a Made-Up Thing”
I drove down Plough Lane today to pick up some cement - where the stadium and dog track were is all high rise flats now. But I love the spirit of Wimbledon AFC and rejoice in their success.
You have a way of bringing meaning to small realities, making them into big realities. Thank you.
The concept of the third thing is so fascinating to me, especially when you think about the idea of doing shared activities to sustain friendships
I just realized John made the code to be a third thing.
I've thought about the concept of a third thing a lot and it's nice to hear it in clear language that is different from my own.
While this does help explain passion for sports I am still left wishing people chose more important things to be their third thing.
I also think this video is nicely juxtaposed following Hanks talks on social media attention/rapture
🤯🤯🤯You're right. It is a third thing
Another phrase to cross off the tracker. I wonder what's going to happen when you're down to the nonsensical fragments like "and I," "I ain't," "she was," and "it's."
Edit: It'll be at allstar.denkyuu.io once the dns record propagates. Give it ~30 minutes.
I have no idea what this is referencing, but it's impressive work whatever it is. -John
Thanks for making this, I've been wondering how far along they were! One thing is "she was" is a complete sentence
vlogbrothers I can’t tell if this is a super meta joke or if you’re actually confused and I feel like that’s how it should be.
You are amazing! Brilliant resource!
Oooo, “go for the moon” is my favorite. John, if you don’t use that title to have video about I find peace in a time of distress with the whole video just being of the moon... then I’ve wasted my time watching all these years and no nothing about @vlogbrothers
It of course could also be a video by Hank about space travel.
John I’ve already ordered your book I’m SO FREAKING excited
Thanks! -John
Idk why but I laughed out loud at 12pm in my bed by myself when I read johns reply... lolol, it wasn’t even funny but sometimes people just do things
Caleb Grabowski damn.. that hits hut also I laughed too
John, for a brief and wondrous moment, you were our third thing.
I admire the dedication it took to make months worth of video titles with allstar lyrics. Amazing.
The quote from Donald Hall reminds me of joint attention. It’s also a physical, practical thing ingrained in us. We share gaze not only with each other, but on other things as a matter of habit!
Quick Tip: If you’re on a phone you will probably struggle.
I’m on a phone and I do struggle.
I love this thought of a third thing; the fact that we are never the same people - yet things which seem futile in retrospect have the power to bind us all. A friend was asking me what love is, and I finally know what to tell him - when you find the third thing you never thought you could find with someone else. Thanks for this, John. I'll see you next Tuesday.
-the world is gonna roll me
-if you don't go
-all that glitters is gold
-they say it gets colder
-how 'bout yours?
-I said, "Yep,
6 more videos
I played and coached football. I even won a few championships, but you are so right, John. We put so much into these sports!
When someone in the wild is a nerdfighter it is no joke my favorite third thing.
Excited for this book! Good luck signing all those copies John!!
being from wimbledon and having a father working on the construction of the new stadium while being a vlogbrothers fan is the best feeling
As a Brazilian and a fan of football in my country (Grêmio btw), it always astounds me when I see John talk about a club being owned by somebody and being proud that his club belongs to the fans. Here all major clubs are owned by the fans, it's so common place that we don't think about it being special.
I could listen to John talk about anything. The way he speaks is just so beautiful
Okay so I'm listening to this video while I'm working on an animation project and when I tell you my eyes became the size of the moon when I heard john green, someone I've followed for years, talk about my third thing with some of the best people I've met in the past two years- BTS. I just. Wow 🥰
I just wanted to thank you guys for being a "third thing" for so many people. The community you have built over the years is brilliantly unique and offers an opportunity to share in the (sometimes rare) joys of genuine enthusiasm, generosity, and kindness. It can be difficult to find such a supportive and selfless community as this one, and I am more than grateful for the chance to be part of it. Thanks for being awesome
Such a good video. And definitely true, one of the main things I do with my dad is watch and discuss football.
Sports are not my 'third thing' but the joy and coming together they bring people always makes me weep with joy. Like in this video. More of the joyous third things in life, whatever they may be.
I didn't know, but this is the point. This is why I feel so so happy when we come together to watch sport or something like that. And it is also why I almost cry everytime I see a vlogbrothers video about soccer.
That quote made me all kinds of emotional. Beautiful 🥺❤️
I've never - ever - heard John tell the Plow Lane story and sing the little song without getting goosebumps.
i just want to tell you that i LOVE your books like there are no other authors that could write like you do, ur the master my friend
The pandemic has been difficult, but I discovered vlogbrothers just at its beginning. Can't believe the amount of love I've grown to have for AFC Wimbledon, hanklerfishes, peanut-butter faces, pacifist fortnite, Esther, the new from Mars, and just nerdfighteria as a whole. AFC is coming home to Plough Lane!
John, I thought you might be interested in this. A couple of weeks ago I was listening to the news on swedish national radio and they were talking about abolishing the rule that at least 51 % of any sports club must be owned by its fans. The debator in favor of keeping the rule talked about Wimbledon in one of their arguments.
John, I completely dismissed sports before hearing you talk about AFC Wimbledon. Thank you for sponsoring them and helping me to enjoy sports, especially football (or soccer if I don’t want to sound pretentious).
Your videos always just make feel like things are going to be okay and that means a lot to me. Thank you so much :)
Hearing about that 3 things reminded me of something that i ve read in a Natsume Souseki novel, japanese people don't say I love you, they say the moon is beautiful. Back then it made no sense to me, but eventually I got. It was about expressing the fact that you're enjoying something together, that 3 rd thing.
You guys are my friend's third thing. Your books, your vlogs, we met becos we both liked Vlogbrothers and a British band. And then we lost communication and we haven't talked in a year. I miss her a lot, and somehow talking about third things made me miss her even more.
Wow, you made me cry. What a wonderful message.
I love a sport that has a lot of problems but this weekend saw such an amazing, beautiful moment that we forgave it its shortcomings for a moment and celebrated almost unanimously
a wizards unite friend hails from Milton-Keynes and it always causes an emotion when I open a gift from them and see their location
I've been hearing you talk about AFC Wimbledon for years, in this channel, in Dear Hank and John, and even though I don't follow soccer too much, it gives me great joy to hear they finally will be going back home to the new stadium. I'm very glad for them and for you John, congrats!
Thank you for introducing the concept of the Third Thing to me, always love when you bring up interesting things like this... and also thanks for the BTS mention. They are to me what AFC Wimbledon is to you.
Hi John, Liverpool fan from Georgia. Can’t wait for Saturday and Leeds! The feeling of celebrating a goal with the people around you is unmatched.
John it's great to have you and your novels as my love life's third thing. Actually we don't always pay attention to our 'the third thing' . Like I turned my reading mode on A while back.... And I forgot about that. Until recently someone accidentally turned my reading mode off. I didn't notice the usefulness of that reading mode until it was gone. Similarly in my love life once I totally forgot what are those things that bind us together only remembered that there is only us, in our together. Until it's your novel that showed, how important that third thing was.
You and Hanks videos have been a "Third thing" for me and my two sisters since 2014
I literally do not give two toots about this random soccer team across the sea but this video kind of made me emotional...what in the world??
For years I have thought it was "Plow Lane", guess I learn something new every day
