A Feeling I've Never Felt Before

- The thing I cut out of this video is that I have a new kind of pain that I've never felt before and because it's new it's just kinda hard to deal with. I don't know what it means. I don't know how to make it feel better and I don't yet know what makes it worse. It's common to have muscle pain after radiation but I thought it would feel like other muscle pain I've had before and it just doesn't!
So weird. Anyway, that's a bummer. Good thing I got some positive new sensations as well! Thanks for that.
Go get the Pizzamas app!!

Oh my god is that Jason statham?!
Nerdy Jason Statham.
@@MattGray35no one was saying that
Yes
@@Chris_wintherspeople were saying that, especially Hank. czcams.com/users/shorts_rpWObZyOmU?si=F3YoDlsps4Lwskcm
Love that he’s joined Nerdfighteria we needed more muscle for destroying world suck
The sensation of having a baby moving around inside my abdomen and it's not me that is making that movement happen is one of the weirdest, most difficult to describe sensations I've ever experienced.
I don't know that it's better than beard sensation, but it is a weird one.
Ahhh, hello fellow pregnant Nerdfighter! 😊
Yes, being sporadically and randomly kicked in your internal organs by a large creature "swimming" around inside your body is one of those sensations that is incredibly difficult to describe.
^ this! I have used the analogy that it is kinda like those involuntary eyelid or leg muscle twitches you get sometimes but more internal, except some people don't really get those either!
@@crystalstellwagen2600 Aw man I have that random eye or shoulder twitch all the time
Totally agree! I never wanted kids and I'm gender dysmorphic (although I present as the same gender I was born to, I hate everything feminine about my body) so it was really, really difficult and yes, very odd. Like being colonized by aliens.
Oh Hank, I am turning 70, and a whole bunch of new sensations flood you as you get older. Why is my knee refusing to move? Why am I scared to step down off a curb? What do you mean I broke my leg, just because I fell off a chair? Why are my dreams getting so weird and so much more frequent? It seems to be a continuum, until our last day. Maybe the gods just want to keep us curious and interested in life? Or they want us to never forget, that no matter what happens to us we are STILL 100% ALIVE!
Well for the dream thing one thing i would hypothesize would be that you are getting more proper REM sleep than you have had in the past cause thats what happens to me when i stop smoking marijauana
Damn, I'm 27 and my dreams are already weird AF. I shudder to think what they'll be like when I'm old
Broke my foot just walking at 18... Dreading the future 😂
All my older family says they don’t dream and can’t sleep well enough to dream. Thank you for the hope. I love my weird dreams.
There's something beautiful about your response that I appreciate. Just wanted to let you know that your comment left an impression. Thank you for sharing!
Hank is the science communicator, John is the humanities communicator. With their powers combined, they are Captain Tuberculosis.
Might need a negation in that name though. Captain America fights for America. Captain Planet fights for the planet. Captain Tuberculosis...
I lol'ed but this is it.
And somehow they’re both Heart.
@@lekhakaananta5864 Aunty Berculosis! (sorry that's terrible)
Captain Tuberculosis Awareness.
If that's too many syllables, let's remember that if nerdfighters don't fight nerds, Captain Tuberculosis doesn't have to fight FOR tuberculosis.
I think the fact that John didn't introduce this problem the minute that action was needed had a huge impact on how many people felt encouraged and mobilised. This is not a problem that he first introduced to us a few weeks ago, but something we've been educated about for years now. We are consistently bombarded with problems that demand our attention, but rarely for more than a week at a time. I feel the pain of tuberculosis because I have been consistently reminded of its existence for years now. I know it is not something that goes away once the media storm goes somewhere else. It is not a problem solved with one donation but years of attention and work and that is what made these two campaigns so empowering. Thank you to John and thank you to this community for making me feel like I had the power to push a powerful world around me for the first time in a long time
Yes. One of the most important things for me is that it felt less like the community was being suddenly asked to blind trust a Correct Answer and mob enforce a sudden declaration. As often happens from advocacy mobilization. But instead being introduced to a complex issues many facets and why there’s reason to think this facet could be improved in these places for these reasons. And how to do that considerately while minimizing harm.

Thanks for pointing this out. That's definitely something for my brain to chew on...
I am old enough to remember getting the annual four prong TB test in elementary school, and being promptly pulled out of class when I had a reaction to the test. Turns out that unlike many of my peers, my mother had been exposed as a child during the depression and had passed the antibodies on to me at birth and/or via breastfeeding. I had often wondered why TB hadn't gone the way of smallpox, and I am happy to know that you have made positive steps in that direction through your channel.❤
++++++
absolutely insane that writing multiple bestselling books (each) and creating an educational channel shown in classrooms around the world have been displaced as the biggest thing they've ever done
It's the power of never forgetting to be awesome
Yes, exactly. For me, that goes along with-or even is a variant of "we must do what we can". @@-Teague-
MULTIPLE educational channels! It's crazy honestly
The best new sensation I've felt in a long time happened today. I'm autistic and work with autistic kids. This one is still relatively new (with us for almost a month now), but looked me in the eyes and said "I love you" in a sincere voice with love filled eyes. I, of course, responded with "I love you, too" and immediately needed a moment. I love all my little loves
That’s wonderful ❤
That's so sweet ❤
That’s so perfect 🥹
I needed this video today. I’ve been a supervisor for 3 months and today we had to lay off half the department due to budget cuts. A lot of new emotional sensations today.
Ooh! That's a tough one. Take care.
It's not your fault, that's the fault of capitalism.
Ugh, I'm so sorry that you're going through that.
If it helps, every time I have been laid off I have landed in a new job that was better. I hope the same happens for your people.
And I know that you take those difficult feelings home with you. Your company is blessed to have you because you are not afraid to feel .... for others as well as yourself.
I'm going to be 22 here in 6 days, and hearing about these new sensations and reading what people feel after reaching 70 or pregnancy or even just growing a beard; has me more aware and should be more grateful for what sensations I get to feel.
+1
+1 felt the same way, I’ve been feeling a bit weird about my age since I turned 24 and reading all this different sensations makes me happy and hopeful for some reason
Enjoy 22. Ah 22. I miss 22..
Yoo happy fellow September bday bro, wish you the best
Life is awesome guys. There are rough times, it's true. But generally speaking, it can/will stay awesome pretty much the whole way through 🥳
The most recent new sensation for me was when I took medication whose side effects included “bone pain”, and I kinda brushed it off as a weirdo rare side effect, but Oh Boy did those Bones Hurt on the inside
It was bone hurting juice
I was so glad I never got that side effect from the med I had that could cause it. But I'll tell you, after a few months on a med I do a cost benefit analysis of whether I want to stay on it. I recently decided that being unable to function as a human being wasn't worth a 3% reduction in my cancer recurring.
I developed a stutter later than most people do - at around 12 years old - and the first time I ever stuttered was one of the most bizarre new sensations I’ve ever experienced. Trying to say something but being physically unable to felt truly baffling. Before then, I had always been confused by stuttering. Why can’t they just talk? These new sensations often help us to understand the world in ways we never have before.
What Nerdfighteria does is teach me how to be brave while doing what I believe is the right thing to do. I’m stronger because of you both and because of this community. Thank you. ❤
Thank you for circumlocutiously reminding me of the existence of none pizza left beef. Every now and then, I remember that that's a thing, and I laugh myself stupid for a bit, and it improves my life.
Oh yeah, that's one of the pizzamas videos I return to every once in a while and it's guaranteed to make me laugh 😂
In fact, I think I might go watch it right now 😁 Thanks for the reminder!
I really want the none pizza left beef necklace from way back
+1
Though as a vegetarian, I might go none pizza with left quorn
Without a leader like John, Nerdfighteria would not have the coordination to make such big changes so fast. Without Nerdfighteria John would be powerless. We need each other, because together we are a force to be reckoned with.

I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but this is the exact argument for government and social contract theory.
@@Fractured_Unity It is also the argument for direct action and democracy. In all, it is just a really good argument when someone questions the need for group coordination on pretty much any scale. As individuals, we are but bubbles on the tide of empire, but together, we are the tide.
@@Fractured_Unitynot really? John isn't in charge of us at all we have no requirement to listen to him he's just a good guide
Also a great example of how unionisation works! A democracy on a smaller scale that's far more easy to get involved with on an individual level, if any of you are feeling inspired ❤
Rated the pizzamas app 5 stars! Sorry about the new pain in the description 🖤 hope it gets better
In my 50s. 12 years of hockey, 7 years of football, 20 years of martial arts including boxing and wrestling... Never have I ever had the "head squished/ice cream headache" sensation.
Jason Statham seems so insightful and kind, who knew?
I've been through a lot of different hank looks over the last 15 years and absolutely honestly this might be the best you've ever looked. Certainly the most badass, keep kicking ass with the cancer beard friend.
Agree! But then again, I think nine out of ten men look better with a beard 😅
Eh I’m still partial to early scishow goatee hank
@@kf10147 I remember when there was a literal poll video about whether he should shave that goatee or keep it :joy:
Beardo Hank is definitely a new sensation for us, and it’s not bad at all! 😂
It is such an honor to be a part of nerdfighteria. So thankful you all have grown it from humble beginnings- and yet still remember to stay humble. Cannot express how much I love being a part of it.
We love you, Hank! 💛
I’m a college student far from home and have been feeling some new sensations that I did not expect. Getting drunk for the first time, being able to say I live in New York City, realizing I am not a kid anymore, inevitable existential crises, wanting to go into screenwriting but not being able to work because of the strike, never having gone through 3 years of high school, knowing my dad will never see me graduate since he passed when I was 16, going to the gym and lifting weights for the first time, having friends who do everything with me, loving what is to come, being broke as all hell, pulling all nighters writing papers, etc. Nobody will probably read this lol but it was nice to reflect on the fact that I am not done growing yet. Love you Hank
I read it, and it's a cool and in part quite relatable comment :)
thanks for sharing!
I read it too. I am 56 and can report that, while the new ones did kind of slow down for me, they have not stoped.
i'm 22 and through years of therapy i've been able to experience what it means to actually be relaxed for the first time that i remember
I quit taking opiate medication for my back recently. The withdrawal was extremely uncomfortable. But I also realized that many of the sensations I am experiencing are totally new and its very weird. I sometimes wonder if the feeling of "weird" is a physical sensation of its own. Anyway, I get where you are coming from.
I hope your back is ok and the withdrawal goes decreasing at a fast pace. Get well soon. 😺
@@paolagrando5079 thank you. Unfortunately I essentially relapsed and had to start taking the medication again until my stomach muscles calm down. It's a process. And thank you!
@@simplydoz Sending GOOD LUCK & GREAT LOVE❣ ✊🏽🍀🙏💞💪🏽
I think they are finding their true calling. Promoting & organizing activism to go in deep on a single issue, providing actionable direction and in turn producing unfathomable results. It's a treat to watch & be a part of. A new sensation indeed, it feels like the people's power actualized.
Would be incredible if they could expand upon this and use their position to form an organization of prominent figures/influencers so they could all work together to build a prioritized list of issues and knock them out one by one. Perhaps even tackling some major root issues that ripple out to many others.
The biggest hindrance to action for the general public in my opinion is both not knowing what to do & not knowing others are behind you. You guys help solve both of those problems. Thanks Hank & John!
And a third thing, being overwhelmed by all the things to do... and not being sure what to do specifically about it.
This has been a great intro into activism. I think what a lot of people missed is that Partners In Health, Médecins Sans Frontières, and Doctors Without Borders have been advocating for these specific things for years. There's been years of analysis, organizing, planning and real life protests. But they happened in the countries who've been most deeply impacted - aka, poor countries that don't affect their bottom line - so these companies ignored them.
What we were able to do only happened because we were the second string, so to speak. Once a first-world influencer got involved, with a whole lotta first-world people coming together to shine the spotlight on them, that's when they got spooked. There were real-time financial consequences, so they took immediate action on plans that were already laid out for them.
We stood on the shoulders of giants who'd already built the road. The key was in the door - they just were waiting for the companies to take the final steps and unlock it. That's why things happened SO fast. We just reminded them of the financial consequences if they didn't turn the key.
Having actionable things we can do is absolutely vital to unlocking these doors. Most people want to do good in this world and right injustices, but we don't know where to start. At the same time, we were the last step. So if influencers could partner with causes that have already done the work, and give us these kind of small, actionable things we can do to help them, there's a lot we could do together.
I'm grateful for the consistent attention that John and Hank have given to Tuberculosis and maternal health care. I like that these problems never go away under the radar here once they're no longer shiny objects. They're our community's issues, to be worked on day in and out.
John's video today is about going to the UN to speak about tuberculosis.
We are able to be an effective community in part for how clear, kind and direct you brothers are in articulating in what needs to be done. John did a lot of research and figured out how to delegate and articulate well. This community has been decades in the making. And I'm grateful to be part of it
I am so proud and grateful to be a part of this wonderful thing that we're making here I can't even find words for it
I remember putting on a pair of boots that were so comfortable it I immediately destressed and felt like id been divinely blessed and then i realized that 1)id never ever worn comfortable shoes before and 2) I probably was never gonna find shoes as comfortable as those again. I still think about those boots from time to time.
Sometimes I'm afraid of feeling new feelings that are positive, for that reason. If this is a good sensation now, what if I never feel this exact sensation again?
I had a similar experience...
New sensation suggestion for you Hank. If you've ever used a scalp massager before chemotherapy and the hair loss, I recommend trying it out again now. Feels oddly different in a good way.
Disease can bring lots of new sensations. Fortunately, the work that you and John and the whole community have done will help many people avoid some of the more negative sensations that disease can bring.
It's a very small thing, but the new sensation of Vlogbrothers' videos not being capped at 4 mins is nice.

experienced a few new sensations today when i went for my ten day top surgery post op appointment. removing two feet of drain tubes, removing stitches, seeing my flat chest for the first time, wearing a shirt and my body feeling Normal for the first time... i feel you, hank. i feel you.
I've been part of this community for over twelve years. I watched us come together to support people on Kiva, which I still use every time I can. I watched each year as the P4A totals got bigger and bigger, as the matching fund got bigger and bigger. I remember when the decision to fund the MCOE was made, and I've watched for years as that comes together. I've seen nothing but positives come out of this community, and I'm still surprised every time. Surprised in a good way.
Being a Nerdfighter has always been about decreasing worldsuck and increasing awesome. For so long, we did that in a bunch of small ways, coming together for big things like P4A and Pizzamas, but mostly disjointed. Seeing how much we can do when we're all focused on the same task together, whether that be raising money to reduce maternal and child mortality or convincing the people that make up a big organization to put people over profits, is...indescribable. And it gives me a lot of hope about what we can do in the future, as our community continues to grow and work with other people.
I remember being about 6 and getting a really bad flu virus for the first time and thinking I was literally about to die. New bad sensations are scary af.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hank is serving Adam Savage realness. Get this man a cowboy hat!
I went Scuba diving for the first time a couple months ago and I had the strange new sensation of my sinuses being empty, because the pressure of the water squirted all the clear gooey stuff out of my sinuses and into my mask.
I never realize that I could feel my sinuses until that moment. Also that my breathing on average is always inhibited mildly. Until I at least go scuba diving again.
Thank you Hank!! After John’s last video I was like yes, the Nerdfighters have been doing incredible work, but we wouldn’t do any of it without the passion and drive of John!! Shoutout to the big JG
As a 22 year old I'm with you on the weird sensation of the upper lip hair, I remember one day it felt like I had 1 long hair near my mouth and had to go no that's just my mustache.
I'm so, so proud to be a part of this community, which makes me feel an unfamiliar kind of intense hope
❤❤❤
I will tell you for a fact that I would watch a whole Hank Green standup special
I'm completely colorblind. I have a rare condition called Achromatopsia. I have never once seen the shade of blue or green or red. I see everything in a way that is unique to me, and maybe like a couple million other people? So it's just kinda weird to be consistently existing, experiencing a new sensation, that to me, is the oldest I've ever known.
My girlfriend has told me on a few different occasions that she wishes she could switch eyes with me Cyberpunk style just to see how I see and it's the most romantic and slightly invalidating thing anyone's ever said to me.
Curiosity has the better of me and I feel compelled to ask, how is it invalidating?
Apologies if you're not comfortable sharing, I'm interested due to being a people pleasing, neurodiverse, extrovert without much of a filter, and understanding your side of it might help me avoid invalidating others accidentally.
No worries if it's not something you want to share, I'm taking a shot in the dark and I recognise my request is a selfish one from yourself 😅
Oh, but if it is because she wants the eye swap even after (I'm assuming) you have talked and described it to her a lot, and that makes you feel like you've not done a good job of describing it; someone could describe to me a experience/perception in the most detailed and eloquent manner possible, but I'm probably still going to want to experience it personally. Especially if it is as unique an experience as your own. My desire to do so would be independent of the other's quality of description, it may even be a testament to how well they have done. If they hadn't been able to describe it well I would probably not be so engaged and eager to share the experience first hand.
Apologies of this is a bit much, I sometimes feel like I shouldn't have the ability to comment online 😅
Anyway, you have a condition that must consistently attract insistent attention and questioning whenever others hear about it, and I'm not helping that.
Reply or no, I wish you well, random Internet stranger, much love ✌️
There's got to be an app for that right? That shows you how various types of colorblindness look?
@@SharkBait94ex i think it feels a little invalidating more-so because my condition can be a struggle to deal with, due to other symptoms. it feels a little bit like how autism and adhd and made out to just be “oh i’m so quirky” on tiktok when in fact they can be incredibly debilitating and just difficult to live with. i hope that makes sense?
@@SULightPeaki feel a little invalidated by the comparison of being happy and autistic on tiktok to colorblindness but to each their own
@@thebugcoiiector as i said, my condition has other symptoms, not just colorblindness. similar to how autism has other symptoms than being quirky. you’ve perfectly illustrated my point.
So
Hank is looking good. I genuinely like the new look, and the cool beard.
It sucks that you had cancer. But it is a small silver lining that does make me happy.
Wait, we’re already coming up on Pizzamas again? Time really flies as you get older.
what a community nerdfighteria has become. what a community to establish. what kinda power behind a community literally called "nerdfighteria". i've never been prouder of this little place of the internet.
So great to see you Hank, hope you are well!!
witnessing these last weeks has been absolutely insane but so so wonderful. great video hank, thank you :)
One of these experiences of a new sensation was when as a man I decided to wax my legs for the first time ever because I wanted to both feel the pain of waxing to know it from experience, and also to see how it felt.
And the shower afterwards was the weirdest shower ever. It felt like being truly naked on the legs for the first time.
I tis similar to when you have had a beard for the longest time and you shave, and suddenly that part feels extra exposed.
The water was running down my smooth leg skin and it was like I had never felt water before in that part of my body. And the difference is not too much, it is not like I am specially hairy or anything, but it was such a different experience.
I am psyched for Pizzamas. Always amazing to see you back at it, Hank!
I really LOVE the new look! its very flattering and I'm so grateful you're recovering!
when i first started my transition there were so many weird feelings it was overwhelming. stuff likely face changing getting boobs and even sitting down i think as you get older those feelings of experiencing a new sensation become more impactful to you
Best new sensation - "swimming" (bobbing) in the dense salt water of the Dead Sea! Filled me with childish wonder and I just giggled helplessly.
I am proud to be in this community and proud of the both of you. We've done some pretty good things and it has brought me much, much needed hope and joy. 💙
This vlogbrothers community has always given me hope. I always wish I could do more.
Pizzamas is the perfect holiday. It’s the only holiday that always surprises me when it’s here. I never fully commit to memory what time of year pizzamas happens, so every year it comes around eventually and it makes me happy! I can’t every say I’m pleasantly caught off guard when it’s time for [insert spring or winter religious/spiritual/secular festival]
I'm proud of both of you, this community, and inspired by the passion for education and change.. brings a little hope to this world, which is desperately needed.
I’m really grateful for the videos you’ve made over the past few months Hank, and I also think your new hair and beard if fuckin’ awesome.
I'm so very proud of everyone in this community! And also John!!! Look at us go!!!!!
I've had a really bad week and been trying to manage all of that and it's so nice to see you both encourage good things from big people and big groups of people. Thanks for giving me hope
A hug to you. I hope the troubles end and next week is better.
I love this community and i love you, John and Hank. Thank you for deciding to do a Weird Thing on CZcams in 2007 and then not stopping.
This community is powerful!!❤
I loved how my hair felt when it grew in the first time after chemo - so soft! I think it has to do with being 'fresh' and never cut.
I think you're right about the reason. For one think, the ends coming out of the follicle are at least somewhat tapered, not blunt. So at least when it is short like Hank's is now, you aren't feeling the blunt ends.
OMG you are soooooooooo LOVED and APPRECIATED!!🤟 You bring such joy into my life. :) Thank you
Pizzamas app is a brilliant idea! I'm in the UK & bad at watching videos in a timely manner so sometimes miss it. Thanks!
I feel like the new sensations are grouped pretty heavily at either end of life.
Honestly I'm just following curiously to see how hank's hair grows out now
I have been following this channel avidly since the beginning of the pandemic and have not bought a pizzamas shirt but this changes this year, I got good money from my summer job and I have a job while in university, so it is time!!! I NEED IT
Wow I didn't think I'd connect so much to hearing someone else say how much Cancer changed how they feel, like in a wholistic sort of way, not necessarily just pain or forever discomfort. The wildness of the existential crisis is a rough one, and surviving it is like entering an entirely different world, where so many things that were big deals before become so small, and the important things, the most sensational are the small ones that were always there that you didn't realize you could have looked out for. Well, it's hard to explain it all, but what a wonderful video, wonderful words. Thank you! And thank you to the amazing community just for the heck of it!
To a long life well lived, filled with many new and yet unknown pleasures! 🎉❤🎉
My favorite new sensation in adulthood has to be when I first stopped shaving my legs entirely. Masculine folks don't tell you how good the wind feels blowing through your leg hairs, but it is so nice!! What a delightful surprise of a sensation.
😂 I love this comment!
@@AelwynMr xD Truly recommend giving it a try if you haven't! 10/10 never gets old
@@kyliesparks1435 I have, I am a fairly hairy man that had just never thought about this! Maybe I should shave and then I would know my blessings 😁
@@AelwynMr I will say, in this case, the opposite sensation is also amazing lol! Fully smooth legs right after shaving is incredible, I'm just far too lazy to keep up with it xD
clean sheets + freshly shaved legs = heaven
I love you both so much. Recent joiner to the duo, and softly regretting all the times I scrolled past just because I didn't feel like having to think or feel. Glad you're both getting big wins. Massive moves to combat TB, and getting a fuller beard and really soft hair via awful means
Hank, you look and sound amazing. Thank you for all you do.
I had a feeling I've never felt before, well, more like a taste. I bought a Sakuraco subscription box of Japanese treats and it had a White Chocolate Strawberry in it. Not covered, but infused in white chocolate. It was wonderfully weird! It looked like a freeze dried strawberry and I thought it was going to have the texture of like, a cheesepuff, but it was more dense than that. Like chocolate creamy texture but with strawberry flavor to it. It was absolutely amazing and like nothing I had ever tasted before! It made me so happy.
Loving the facial hair Hank !
Merry Hankmas! I hope you have many more!
John, you are an inspiration. You show that if you are consistent with something change will come. As others have said, this change happened not only because of this community but because of you(!), and your passion and commitment to educating the public on this disease; this is what social media should be used for, not just quick flashes in the pan, but, long systemic change. This is what the upper class fears, and I love that you have the Will power to be a speaker on this topic. Also, I hope you make a book on tb! I loved the Anthropocene review (honestly I’ve never read or watched any of your fictions stuff) and I just wanted to say you are a fantastic writer
I picked up fibromyalgia and have continued to experience new... sensations that I can't even explain to other people. Like, you know how you can't explain the color blue to someone who can't see blue? Who knew that concept extended to sensations of the nerves and muscles.
*_Never underestimate Nerdfighteria_*
A big thanks to John and Hank Green for creating and inspiring such a community ❤
Hank, you are my inspiration. Thanks for being unapologetically you.
So much hair! I’ve never noticed how pretty your hair color is. I love it!
New beard sensations! Touching your beard while also being touched by your own beard takes some getting used to!
Ever since I got mine a couple years ago I'm always tugging on my beard or running a finger over part of it when I'm really thinking or really feeling something. It's become such a natural part of my thought process that if I shave then go to reach for it when thinking it stops me in my tracks sometimes lmao.
Speaking of PIzzamas: I use my Pizza John hand towels for my face as much as my hands, and considering these towels feature John's mesmerizing gaze it occurs to me that these should have been called Face Towels. Just saying.
So happy things are going in the right direction!! Also I sat and replayed the first 10 seconds of this way too many times.
I am so glad you and John are so diligent in using your skills and privileges for good.
Can’t put into words how proud I am that I was part of the early brainstorm for our Danaher project.
Also so excited for Pizzamas!
It’s genuinely one of my favorite parts of the year.
I like how the Pizzamas app has a "Videos" tab that says "Get all Vlogbrothers videos in one place during Pizzamas!" but it's second place after CZcams. 😁😂
But seriously, I love this app idea.
Nice handle, Mark! Just noticed.
I love that so many of the new vlogbrothers videos are just them being such big fans of each other
I love the beard, Hank! Can't wait for it to grow in a little more. Hope you keep it!
Any time Hank Green talks about anything to do with the brain, I start thinking about D20: Mentopolis 😂😅
This is the second time that experiences you talked about very recently made me think of the trans experience.
I thought I had felt all the sensations. But then I found out I was trans and bam: I have boobs now. And let me tell you, that's a new sensation.
What are the unexpected boob sensations? Sleeping on your stomach?
Legit, the Pizzamas app is a fantastic idea. I love it!
Really, really love beard Hank. Keep it going!
Did the 4 minute thing end at some point?
Yes, since Hank got cancer they agreed to stop the time limit
We voted on it in a community poll
Yes! They suspended it once hank got cancer and then they took a poll in the community tab and the option to suspend it indefinitely won
aw man end of an era but it’s completely understandable, I follow hankschannel too so the long videos didn’t even phase me until just now lol
Oo

This video was so great and I love that we all knew it was about TB without Hank ever saying TB? Also Hank, I heard you on RadioLab! Great episode!!
there's so much profoundness packed into each minute, I find myself frequently replaying the videos... I'll raise my hand for the negative sensation chasing, as someone who struggles with both addiction and depression, yeah... to just feel ...something... but anyways...
Could you imagine if Taylor Swift cared about anything? Her audience is ruthless.
Thank you for being an amazing person with an amazing cause. You've done an excellent job rallying the people to push for positive change 👏
A lot of good going on in the world thanks to this community, you, and John. I'm sorry for your new muscle pain you mention in the doobly-do, Hank, and hope that it goes away.
The win this past week is such a powerful example of collective action at play. Not just because a lot of people came together to make change, but because of the long-term dedicated work of those who have built and organised and educated that collective in the first place. Without Nerdfighteria there wouldn't have been such a strong force pushing, but without John and crew behind the scenes organising the push, Nerdfighteria wouldn't have pushed.
This is basically exactly what needs to happen growing the union movement too. You need a few dedicated folks to come together and do the work to bring all the other folks on board and moving in the same direction when needed. Oh and also drawing the ire of powerful people 🙃 Would love if you two did a video on unionisation, as that's something me and my colleagues are working towards at the moment. It's such a perfect parallel, and it would give the folks pumped up by this win the knowledge of how to make wins similar to this in their own backyard ❤
I love how your enthusiasm for life was changed for the better even though the cause was terrible. Cancer is gravely serious but you endured the journey and became an even better person with new understanding. That is what I would call a good outcome! And I'm so glad that you are better.
That was a really nice way to tie several cool/interesting and otherwise unrelated things together. Well done Hank.
