Possibly the last Convo of 2020?! And it's a damn good one... believe me. <3
-
Every single time I get to sit down with John (which is really, really rare over our 14 years together on YouTube) I get so excited. I hope y'all enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed filming it.
-
The fact that John is a DM for his kids is the best thing I've learned this week. What a wholesome tidbit.
-
Hey, thanks for the shout out, John. Can you two please just continue this excellent convo until the fog clears in 2021? Or at least until our pre-order of The Anthropocene Reviewed book arrives? Thanks.
-
I'm always soothed by John's general insightfulness and optimism... these days it means more to me than ever. So glad you got him on the podcast!
-
John and Hank are Good Humans™ and are wealthy enough to buy fancy houses and fancy cars but they’re too busy trying to solve problems like literacy and maternal mortality and organizing their charity and stuff. Been around since the B2.0 days and I’m still so freaking proud of what they’ve built. ♡
-
"I'm such a fanboy of my parents" john, stop it. Stop being adorable
-
I'm only halfway through the video and John has so far mentioned being the older sibling twice. It is so subtle yet sooo on brand
-
Now Phil has to be a guest on Dear Hank and John to complete the circle of podcasts
-
John Green, famous and incredible author/Essayist, running a D&D club for his Son and friends, while also doing nature walks with his daughter, thats some A+ parenting. Also shoutout to Sarah Urist Green (John's Wife) too! Check out the Art Assignment and her book! :D
-
We're all still shocked that Phil's oldest is a Kindergartener, meanwhile Henry is over here in 4th grade!?!! Where has life gone?
-
Always interesting to see how similar John speaks in his edited vlogbrothers videos as he does in an unedited podcast. His story about how his dad cried @32:19 made me tear up
-
John sounds like he’s gonna cry 50% of the time and it makes me wonder how much is going on in that magnificent mind of his 🥺
-
John Green saying his most important writing of the week is his son’s Dungeons & Dragons game made me actually cry! How WHOLESOME
-
I get the sense that John is an empath, and he carries a lot of the weight of the worries and burdens of the world around him. I feel like his heart is heavy.
-
The talks about parents feeling the hurt of their children means a lot to me.
-
Finally... A YouTuber that even my teachers would recognize.
-
I love the Green brothers so much, such a gift to the internet and world generally.
-
“The idea of disappointing my parents guts me” -John green “The realization that as a parent I just want to take away pain from my children”-John green
-
"He loves me all the way down"... what a sweet, moving story.... and also such a John Green way of stating something.... Turtles All The Way Down anyone? ;)
