[@lockedwhisper5433]

Watching this when "Uncle Joe" is actually President of the United States and it makes me so happy to look back on this

[@NulliusInVerba8]

Me too 😂👍🏻👍🏻

[@katetoolate234]

It's a good thing he qualified him as the former VP because it makes you realize what the world was like when this was filmed.

[@All_The_Games]

It’s hilarious same here

[@matthewgilpincom]

Nauseated bus Hanging out with John a lot Birds fly around me - Hank Green It's even more beautiful when written down.

Can’t believe I ordered my pizzamas merch at full price... should have waited for that amazing 1% discount code

[@instantromy]

OMG! Me too!

[@caitlinwolf8858]

The Joe Biden bit aged in an unexpected way

[@derekfnord]

Not unlike Joe himself... HEY-OH!!!!!

[@BraigeRoleyGreatMusic]

It really did

[@hopeyouforgotme]

I explain Pizza John as "It's an inside joke from the internet. It's John Green who wrote The Fault in Our Stars but with a mustache and the word pizza. That's really it."

[@vlogbrothers]

"That's really it: The Pizza John Story"

[@gomathyganapathy4280]

Why mustache and pizza tho? Just looking for the origin storyy

[@russiagoeshard]

I have abandoned my opinion on Hanks dad hats.

[@yuvalne]

"I think people know who Joe Biden is, you don't have to qualify him every time" Well, if only you knew

[@sophiaridder2252]

That's so unfair I already ordered my pizzamas gear. I could've saved some serious cents people!

[@Frediloc8]

Well one cent at least...of the per variety.

[@vlogbrothers]

I am sorry about the twenty two cents you lost by not waiting for this incredible discount, Soph! -John

[@Xenos_hive]

[@sophiaridder2252]

[@LinnersC]

but... but there was a poll in the sidebar.

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

Fun fact, the poll is still there and functional. Also you should click on it btw because it's hilarious.

[@6023barath]

@@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist Not anymore :(

[@Siriuslyyy]

THIS IS THE VIDEO THEY STOPPED FORRRR

[@sexyscientist]

Feels like I have breached space-time continuum.

[@Dyimnasta]

I still find it so weird that I know I like John and Hank as humans, and I look up to them, but they have no idea who I am. Like it makes sense, but also it’s such a strange “relationship” to have

[@TheDanishGuyReviews]

Dyimnasta Danny Sexbang discussed that on a Game Grumps episode once.

[@annasappington5911]

agree! think about this a lot -- and kinda curious to know what they think about it

[@offthepath7958]

You are not alone in that thought.

[@HypernovaBolts11]

Watch Knowing Better's video on Parasocial Relationships.

[@mmic6056]

That $0,20 discount was just the push I needed to get my very first, very own, very awesome Pizza John shirt! Living the high life

[@renendarkfire]

Interesting psychology experiment: How many people were actually motivated to buy something with a 1% discount.

[@ttzuwei]

renendarkfire that's an experiment I'd want to follow. The price sensitivity must be really unique in nerdfighteria, I would love to know what the demand curve looks like.

[@renendarkfire]

Alright, well I found a site with some nice traffic data. It's not google analytics, so I can't be sure of accuracy. The most recent data is November 5, so we'll have to wait a few days to see the results of the discount. Also, I'm using site traffic as a proxy for sales, which is not terrible, but still a proxy. If +vlogbrothers want to publish better data, that would be great. :) www.semrush.com/info/dftba.com+(by+organic)

[@ttzuwei]

Wow, great site! Shame they won't let non subscribers view the content. Though I'd really question the validity of the proxy. Discounts always generate interests, but how much of it translates into sales varies a bit too much for this proxy to work.

[@renendarkfire]

Yeah, this is bound to be inaccurate. First of all, the proxy has issues, as you pointed out. Second, that site doesn't (and no other sites) go deeper than dftba.com in general, meaning any spike in traffic may be distorted by noise. Third, all of these sites are estimates, not exact values. The solution here is for Hank to pull out his Google analytics and give us the deets. +vlogbrothers, please? Regardless, there is a visible spike in usage on November 7th. According to the site, traffic jumped to 83,595 from around 78,000, the running average. 83,595 is the highest daily traffic value in the past 30 days, and higher than the monthly average for the past 6 months. This is around a 7% increase in total dftba.com traffic, not an insignificant amount. Unfortunately, we don't know the proportion of dftba visitors that went for pizzamas merch, so we can't say what sort of increase this is for pizzamas traffic. We can say that it appears that around 5,000 people decided to at least look into pizzamas merch on November 7th after the discount was announced, on top of those who were already planning to visit the site. As another data point, you can look up pizzamas on google trends and see a spike on the 7th that outweighs the week before it, although I think Oct. 31, has a larger spike. Can't put them on the same graph.

[@fathimamoolla]

Hank 'The Lightest Weight' Green

[@thelojay]

Fathima Moolla 😂😂😂

[@bradlemmond]

Floats like a butterfly... that is all.

[@Luke-lw9dg]

On an episode of Beer and Board games hank had 1 Zima and was completely wasted, and John was just shaking his head at hank after having had like 6 beers.

[@TheRoadtoNerdfighteria]

This sounds like a Dear Hank and John Sponsor.

[@fathimamoolla]

+The Road to Nerdfighteria you're right omg

[@coena9377]

“Poll in the sidebar, ‘do you know who Joe Biden is?’” Hell yeah I do, I voted for him.

[@ThisLittleCriticSanad]

Is a hotdog a sandwich.... stares at the wall for hours questioning the meaning of life.

[@vlogbrothers]

Just drop the opinion! We have too many opinions! Minimize your opinions and watch your life change dramatically for the better! -John

[@bm8350]

Same...

[@jang6812]

I'm on team sub

[@meganmelissa914]

vlogbrothers omg lol yes

[@blueish4]

I mean, if you don't know your place on the sandwich alignment charts then you don't know enough about yourself or something

[@madison1275]

This made me smile. I could listen to Hank and John talk all day lol

[@Vardagaladhiel]

I have no opinion on so many things, I think it can be a bit exhausting with how it seems as though you should always have an opinion about everything these days even if it’s completely uninformed etc!

[@vlogbrothers]

Yes! So many opinions! Here's to keeping to your core opinions. -John

[@Vardagaladhiel]

vlogbrothers Here here!

[@IceMetalPunk]

Having informed opinions is great! Having opinions based on wanting an opinion is terrible... in my opinion.

[@contrazzed3651]

There's something incredibly freeing about the realization that you don't actually need to have an opinion on everything. You can take a break from living in a constant state of evaluation and just accept things as they are for a moment. Why did it take a man wearing his own face on his torso in the form of a personified piece of pizza telling me that to realize it?

[@Directioner171]

Hank's haiku creations are so awesome. I still remember the one he made about him wanting to be an oceanographer.

[@thewinterizzy]

omfg I was about to screech that I /JUST BOUGHT/ my pizzamas haul last night and NOW YOU THROW OUT A DISCOUNT CODE??? But it’s okay I don’t mind paying the full 100% it’s for a good cause ahahaha. I hope everyone else enjoys the discount. ;p

[@sexyscientist]

Cause? What cause?

[@thewinterizzy]

Sexy scientist supporting John and Hank when able, and my own personal happiness lol. (Apologizes! Didn’t mean donations or anything.)

[@sexyscientist]

Okay.👍

[@misslexilouwho]

Well technically it can be for a good cause. The Pizza Turtle poster donates to NAMI. :)

[@thewinterizzy]

Lexi Lou Who true! :D

[@silverandexact]

Hank and John together videos make me so happy

[@fireinacan]

I didn't realize how much I needed to feel some joy until I saw this video today. Thanks you two.

[@ecaterinc.1744]

1) I'm having a very sick day, and watching this entire playlist improved it immeasurably (vlogbrothers, CrashCourse & SciShowSpace are my 3 go-tos when ill - max nerd comfort viddage) 2) It is delightful to watch you guys getting younger and younger for over a decade Of Awesome! 3) (I'm about a decade your senior, so 'getting older' is relative, one way or another :D) 4) ...this playlist needs updating! Surely there's been several reunion videos since 2017! 5) Thanks guys!! Can't wait to see (and participate in) all the awesome in 2019!

[@procstrat42]

"hardcore anti-peanut butter M&M" "So bad!" "nope NOPE" "....but you are allowed to love them" "THERE YOU GO!" They way you two support on each other on all the things is just absolutely lovely.

[@emilymontague8550]

Hank's no opinion dance is so joyous. I love you guys.

[@gris3112]

I just went to the website, and it really is one percent! Hilarious! 😂

[@macgirl1234]

I have to say I love these tour videos the most! They are so much lighter and fun....probably because you're exhausted...but I'm here for it

[@denisehunley9583]

This is delightfully wholesome icing on the cake to rewatch today.

[@markkinz7913]

This was the goofiest most hilarious video you guys have made in some time, and I love it.

[@zcmini000]

"It's the guy who wrote The Fault In Our Stars" Is literally what I tell people when they ask why I've got a bright red poster of a mustachioed fella and the word PIZZA. And there is never a follow up question!!!

[@quixiiify]

I've decided I love this pecan/almond orchard. Both of your videos that took place in it were so wonderfully happy and delightful. Thank you, pecan/almond orchard. :)

[@Ana-pl9hs]

*Tuataria-Pizzamashunt 9* Letter: a Hhm.. Almo..eh...nuts that are definitely not pecans. Yum.😋 Now that we're hydrated and energized we can take the last step and finish this hunt. Going through all these old videos made us smile a lot. Pizzamas really is a golden age of Vlogbrothers.

[@mr.d_88]

Hank is such a good dancer. Fills me with emotions. Mostly relaxing.

[@Bobandella24]

That moment when a KZbin video which mentions M&Ms for like 10 seconds reminds you that you have M&Ms in your bag. Thanks Hank and John

[@ahobbit1273]

This video cracked me up multiple times. I love the videos they are able to do together.

[@IchBin-meh]

3 things. (1) I love that hat! (2) The energy of this video was phenomenal. (3) Did the effort to abandon opinions end with the tour or does the Grover Cleveland opinion qualify as a really core important opinion? 😂

[@genessab]

I enjoyed your Joe Biden dance. #rebel

[@jsb36]

Vikings488 OMG you must be Joe Biden!

[@thewinterizzy]

We’ve found Joe Biden’s secret KZbin account #confirmed

[@katiemiller8313]

I was only half-watching the dance, so I was about to rewind it to get a better look, but then I stopped myself: "no.... that dance was for Joe."

[@nachtegaelw5389]

“They’re so bad...!” “Nope.” “But you’re allowed to like them...?” 😂 Except maybe this is a good thing I should try!

[@RudiSka]

Vlogbrothers videos have been SO vlogbrothers-y lately and I love it! It's so good, so good, so good.

[@loverslie12]

My older sister asked what I wanted for Christmas so I sent her the link to a pizzamas shirt I really wanted. She then went on to ask me and I quote “what the heck is pizzamas” and I went on to say “oh don’t try to get me to explain it. It’s basically John’s face and pizza” and she said “I knew better than to ask.” 😂

[@ThisNarrowboatAdventure]

john looks so hansom in this video, the lighting just right and I like the gray in his hair. maybe its just because he is having lots of fun too! and hanks dancing made me smile so much!

[@meghan879]

Hank's dancing is beautiful

[@joshyoung1912]

That's President Uncle Joe to you, John.

[@alainart]

I've ALWAYS wanted one percent off of dftba merch! Yay!

[@sarahrenner8064]

I just need you to know that I watch this video whenever I have a lot of anxiety. If it doesn’t fix the anxiety it at least makes me laugh and that’s not nothing.

[@ilovebats10]

I'm realizing (3 years later), I don't think I ever saw this interview. I'm not immediately finding it either, what was it for?

[@AnEffervescentEnigma]

By far the best vlogbrothers video I've seen in a long time. Not, like, in terms of content... just in happiness. I haven't seen some good good care-free Green content in too long. It felt nice. 10/10 more deliriously goofy brother videos please. Made me feel more ready to face the world.

[@Dyimnasta]

As fun as it is to get to the comment section early, it’s also a kinda disappointing that there aren’t awesome comments to read yet!

[@sadik.oagile6779]

This relationship is keeping you both young at heart ☺

[@127sys]

"I'm interviewing former vice president Joe Biden!" Boy how the times have *CHANGED* !

[@tjtjeerdsma9938]

The latest Vlogbrothers videos put the biggest smile on my face because John and Hank seem so happy in them.

[@lamazaioor5741]

One percent??!!! Geez and to think I was going to buy something at FULL PRICE yesterday!

[@vlogbrothers]

Now you can have TWENTY TWO CENTS OFF your t-shirt purchase. -John

[@laurenredding1419]

The practice of giving up an opinion because you have too many has lived rent free in my head ever since this video came out

[@margaretbigler9790]

Hey I'm in the exact same situation, but I don't have a solution sorry :-/

[@tiberiuswolf8259]

look at KFC commercials until the chickens pass out from sheer terror, then go on with life.

[@KaoruKat]

Get some sleep. Above all else, take care of your health both physical and mental.

[@alissavandenbark9837]

I'm doing the same thing! or i will be once i finish replying to your comment. my advice for essays: make a list of qualities you like about yourself, with examples from each, so that if you get stuck on how to brag about yourself you have some ideas

[@USemily10]

Wow, the second awesome video in this orchard :D also, you seem to have had a great time touring and spending some great quality time together. So happy for you :)

[@szeth14]

1:25 Former Vice President and Future and Now 46th President Joe Biden!

[@TheRsquared2000]

Totally took advantage of that sweet discount code! Thanks VlogBrothers! Happy Pizzamas!!

[@satyadivyach4544]

There's a whole percent off! It's not nothing! And congrats John for TAtWD being on NYT bestseller list for 3 weeks (and counting!). On a lighter note, your opinions matter (kinda!). Happy Pizzamas and DFTBA!

[@cottage-core_]

discarding an unnecessary opinion a day to find the core of your being is such a fantastic way to reflect and grow and I wish this was a thing people just did regularly

[@hannaho9471]

1% doesn't even cover the exchange rate between US and Canadian currency but I appreciate it anyway

[@beccalanning6370]

Soooo puuuurrree!!!!! I'm smiling and I needed this, never change ya'll

[@fitzgerald4744]

This was great! Thanks, Greens. :) I like their "abandoning an unimportant opinion" idea. Perhaps I should stop having an opinion on whether or not I should get some Pizzamas gear or not and just do it! Action trumps opinion. :D PS - if you're reading this, have a great day

[@superbubbleaquapower]

If you don't have an opinion on the actions you're taking, you're heading down a slippery slope. Admittedly your slippery slope has led you to Pizzamas merch so you may just be skiing which is awesome.

[@stuti.sharma.ranchi]

So, if pizza john shirts are on sale should I save some Pence and Biden? I hope there's a refund option as well, I don't want to feel Cheneyed to my decision. Better get one before they're Al Gore.

Such a wonderful video to watch after a very long and tiring day at work.

[@AlixAnn]

I was starting to get upset because I ordered pizza john merch yesterday but then you said 1%

[@phishfullofasha]

Well this hits different

[@annamariebeilner7761]

It honestly is so tiring when someone looks at my pizza john shirt and every single time they ask who it is. I tell them it is famous author John Green sporting a mustache and promoting pizza and that is all they need to know.

[@bradlemmond]

Just say, "You're obviously not cool enough to understand. Cast your eyes away from the glory of my Pizzamas shirt!"

[@jennifergoebel8333]

Okay I've been really digging the videos lately! They've been so funny!

[@megangoodwin2544]

ONE WHOLE PERCENT?? It is definitely time to buy my Pizzamas Merch at dftba.com. Where I could save a whole 22 cents on a $22 shirt!! (Before any tax. BUT I DID THE MATH). Time to save one penny per dollar!!

[@tygonmaster]

Tis the season!

[@cloverhighfive]

That will be a good trivia question for the far future fandom of the vlogbrothers. Was there ever any discount during Pizzamas? If so, how much? - cause I feel it's a one-time deal.

[@blick847]

Everone calls him Uncle Joe

[@bradlemmond]

I was going to say, I think he would be down with that. I mean, just look at him, washing his TransAm in the White House driveway, he's so dope: politics.theonion.com/shirtless-biden-washes-trans-am-in-white-house-driveway-1819570732

[@tss6295]

Hank's dancing at 2:16 though. Thank God for Pizzamas.

[@voldysgonemoldy95]

Of course I hear "discount" and perk up drop everything and listen for the code and then John says "1%". Ya know it's always the 1%.

[@heatherhorsecat]

YOU GUYS TOGETHER IS SO GOOD!

[@IdaAndrr]

And now Uncle Joe is president.

[@IDreamOfCrafting]

I just got a signed copy of Turtles All The Way Down at Target!!!! Also, it was 20% off!!! Score!!! Can't wait to read it!!! I also didn't pay for it; I used a gift card I got from my coworkers for my birthday!!! Best birthday so far this year (11-8-17). Thanks Hank and John!!! You guys are the best!!! 💚💚💚 Love these videos when you two are together.

[@owenstoddard6464]

The algorithm showed me this in 2022 for some reason. I would like to report that people still know who Joe Biden is. The world is a strange place, and stranger than it was 5 years ago. I am not sure how to feel about that.

[@kilrathi827]

Congrats, John, on being on top of the NYT Bestseller list for the last 3 weeks!!

[@louisalight9027]

Watching John call Joe Biden the former vice president when Joe Biden is currently the president feels like listening to one of those married couples who say they "used to be engaged"

[@galli0]

I havent felt this happy in quite a while, feels like early vlogbrothers 2.0

[@Gothhippie667]

I wish they were my brothers.

[@rcusick2465]

Yesterday I watched Hank explain Pizza John. Thank you, Hank. It took a long time and he was very patient. He also explained Pizzamas. "I think people know who Joe Biden is." If they didn't know, now they know! Also, lots of folks call him Uncle Joe.
