That caught me off guard lol

I love me some Hank Green. Not only is he smart, but also charismatic, funny and genuinely seems kind. The world needs more Hank Greens
Honestly, the Green brothers are some of the best parts of the internet. I’ve been following since ‘09 and they are genuinely great people who are effecting positive change in the world. They are the best of us and encourage all to try to be the best version of ourselves possible. I could go on, but their positive influence on the world cannot be understated. And they’re just very normal (if extremely talented, hardworking) individuals and I think that is a critical form of representation needed online nowadays with all the trash-influencers spreading around like wildfire.
You should get dropout and watch him play dnd
I got to meet him one time and he is exactly the same in person. Probably my favorite famous person
@@S.K.u.S.H what do you mean? Is dropout like an app or a subscription or something?
@@Rhov9finding the vlogbrothers is one of the best things of my early internet days. So thankful for them and the community they created for being awesome and being a great place on the Internet.
Hank Green on the Yard: “I’m the cancer guy!” Hank Green with Anthony: “I’m not the cancer guy!”
The duality of man
You can be both
Hank is in a quantum superposition which collapses when he goes on a podcast.
That speaks more to the depth of conversation on The Yard vs here than anything about Hank himself. He knows his audience.
Just like Leonard Nimoy
Hank Green, a man that needs no Introduction.
He’s not that famous?

My 94 yo grandma, few days before her death this January said that she feels that she has done everything that she could in her life and that she is done. She was fairly healthy and gone within literally 10 days. So I guess it is possible. Love the episode, as usual.
I’m 32 and definitely feel like I’m already fulfilled in life. I obviously want to keep living, but if death comes for me early, I won’t feel like I didn’t get enough out of life
@@Soooooooooooonicable Obviously keep living, at the same time that is so admirable that you are content with where you're at and what you've done!

Hank green making Anthony blush was not on my 2024 bingo card.😂
I can't say I'm really surprised
Timestamp, pls?
I'm here for a timestamp as well.

If you haven't seen it, Hank made a short about this comment on his personal channel :)
35:02 I could watch Hank Green make other men blush all day. It's such wholesome and adorable energy, from BOTH of them.

Hank Green is just finding ways to flirt with his internet crushes now. I love this man.
That "cute" from Hank had Anothony blush 🤭
I once heard dying at an old age vs young compared to going to a theme park - you arrive excited and of course leaving is inconceivable, but by the end of the day you’re tired and ready to go home and rest.
Hmm... But in the theme park example, you know where you're going: somewhere you're comfortable. With death, we don't know what happens
That's the only way I'm okay with the inevitability of it.
And maybe you didn't get to do everything you wanted, but hopefully some good memories for everyone involved!
This makes a lot of sense
@@withinsanityyThis is a perfect addition to this analogy
The "Hank was in LA for a week" media tour continues
i know Hank Green from sci show and crash course and i can confirm him as modern Bill Nye. crash course is played more often than Bill Nye at my highschool
That's a nive way of putting it
Hank Green the science machine.
As a survivor of childhood leukemia and student at ASU I have such massive respect for Hank Green. Thank you for making information about cancer more accessible and for helping people fulfill their academic goals! What a legend
you and me both! diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and contracted a really gnarly infection in my thigh after my induction phase of chemotherapy. received my bone marrow transplant in 2013 at 16 yo. ER RN now and I used his videos to study in nursing school. ❤
How can Hank Green recover from cancer looking 15 years younger than before diagnosis??? What a guy 🥰🥰🥰
My friend went thru some gnarly throat cancer at like... Around 25 years old ... And when he beat it and his hair grew back it was soooo thick and dark, he really looked great! It was amazing... Same w Hank. My pal did end up with some permanent hearing loss from radiation but we are now 45 and he still like great
chemo curls!!!!!
It’s all the rest he’s gotten after being the ceo of a bazillion companies forever😅
You'd be surprised how someone will recover from something as traumatic as cancer. It's all about how your body is willing to fight and get out on the other side.
THATS WHAT I. WAS THINKING
Hank Green fanboying over Anthony Padilla is my Roman Empire.
I think young folks with cancer diagnoses are also worried about cost. As someone who is currently dealing with this, my husband has and is getting treatment for cancer, and it's completely drained our measly savings and cost us so much money. Over $10,000 out of pocket, of which we're paying what we can monthly for. And obviously I want my husband to get treatment and get better, but we did have some very serious conversations about him not wanting to be here, him feeling guilty about how expensive it was, and what more we could do to be able to afford it. I'm thankful he has a therapist to help get through the mental strain. But yeah, we're gunna have to live with this medical debt for a long time.
So sorry you guys are going through that! I hope everything goes well and your hubby kicks some cancer a$$. ❤
So true! Taking on (more) debt at any age can feel hopeless, but particularly as a young person where they have no context of their options or possible earnings or how to cope if there is permanent disability. I hope your husband's treatment goes well!
You have to connect with the social worker at the hospital or treatment center where your husband goes. There are so many organizations that give out grants for people in your position. 👋🏻 Hi. I’ve had cancer for ten years. 😊 Most of the grants I received were around a thousand dollars. There was also an organization in my area that paid bills for you. So they paid our mortgage for a few months and a car payment and an electric bill. All of that added up and kept us from losing our house (for now). Look in to disability. Medicaid/Medicare. A lot of things depend on your type of cancer and income, but it never hurts to try. I have a very deadly type of cancer. So I was approved for disability automatically. It’s not that way for most people. And lastly, just google cancer charities. Usually you have to fill out a short form and write a paragraph about your situation. It is worth the time. Good luck. And tell your husband this stranger is proud of him!

John Green - the tuberculosis guy
Dude I’m tripping balls rn listening to this and it’s one of the most enlightening things to hear coming out of a trip
guessing youre coming down if you can work your phone 😂
Are you on acid
Best comment lmao
Everyone forgets Hank kicked off the trend of youtubers who retired nearly a year ago, he just retired from being CEO if multiple companies rather thank making videos
I’m not sure how many people know this, but Hank was also on a mini-season of Dropout’s TTRPG show, D20. He absolutely killed it as his character and the season deals a lot with consciousness, the mind, anxiety, and all that. Go watch Mentopolis!
To me, he's not the cancer guy. he's "the fix" lmao
Definitely one of my favorite D20 seasons, and Hank is a big reason why. Him being accidentally terrifying just by stating facts he knows is so hilarious. I’m so glad he’s okay
HANK SMOKES WEED?? i guess i shouldn't be surprised but also HANK SMOKES WEED??
A guy with that name surely must.
Or "smoked" weed?
You're gonna be surprised: lots of people do drugs, even "normal" people lol
no i know!! i wasn’t judging. just a little surprised. and not in a bad way
Honestly it makes sense he’s an Eckerd College alum (which has a reputation for weed)
Hank Green is my favorite “just a f*king vlogger” ❤️
"We love large loads" "I know, me too" Bi moment confirmed
The conversation at 42 minutes was SO interesting. “We’re the only part of the universe that looks at ourselves and goes ‘that’s universe.’” 😮
Hank talking about the absurdity of reality, and how we're basically a collection of bacteria that has convinced itself that it's a conscious individual, speaks to me. I don't know if it's personal, tragedy or the state of the modern era, or some combination of several things, but life for me also has become genuinely different in feel, and I always fall back on "it feels weird because we are weird, cosmically"
It was really good being able to hear you both discussing Hank's cancer journey. I've been diagnosed with a slow-growing lymphoma myself, and it's been difficult dealing with the lack of treatment because I haven't met the threshold to get treatment yet. The danger of cancer in my body isn't more dangerous than the effects of chemo, and so I just have to sit here and wait. I thinks it's really important to talk about these things. Thank you for this discussion. And thank you Hank, for documenting your journey and teaching us more about cancer and cancer treatment. It's definitely helped to soothe some of my worries.
I'm so sorry to hear this... I genuinely wish the bests for you and wish you be healthy again 💞 🙏
That must be frightening and stressful, to know you have cancer and just have to wait around for it to get worse. You can't really get into that "fighting for your life" mentality. I feel like I wouldn't even want to know I have cancer until something can be done about it, but that's probably not a great way to think about it. There's gotta be some middle ground between "knowing each and every disease you're genetically more disposed to" and "being wilfully ignorant of your health". I wish all the best to you on your journey!
That’s interesting, I’ve never thought Hank was “‘the Cancer guy” I always just think, oh, Hank Green is going through cancer! But he’s still Hank Green, not Cancer guy.
“I’m not the cancer guy.” Me listening to this video while wearing Hank Green cancer socks… ummmm Hank???
So glad hank made the LA youtuber circuit while he was in town
I appreciate Hank Green so much because he explains mostly everything through a logical lens which helps when I sometimes struggle to do. And he does it with a sense of humor.
Dang hanks hair really did grow back curly!!! I hadn’t believed it until they showed his throwbacks
My grandfather who recently passed away at 91 definitely felt like he was 'done'. He had Alzheimer's so was getting unwell slowly for quite a long time but in his final years & months he was just happy to sit back and listen to his family, and he always told us how gorgeous we were and that he was proud, even when he couldn't remember our names. I think he knew everything he did in his life lead up to all of us being safe and happy, and so he was done.
Can we get an I Spent A Day With John Green next please?
anthony has to come to indianapolis lmao
Maybe John can come to LA for Turtles Movie reasons and make a stop at Anthony's
I've been a nerdfighter since 2011his (and johns) videos have been one of the most consistent things in my life. they are such a huge inspiration to me. Im graduating with a degree in ecology and a minor in geomatics in may. i have hank (and john) to thank for getting me through the low points. at this point in time i gotta say that Hank Green is my hero. having seen how they have grown as ive grown up. they gives me so much hope in life that even when these reqlly big scary things can happen and it sometimes make it through okay (if a little beat up). so thank you hank. and dtfba
same
>looks like Hank Hill >weed >name is Hank Green
Lost my Dad to Cancer over 20 years a go. I'm so glad that the treatments are getting better and better. Glad Hanks better now!
Sorry for your loss
knowing my two favorites have smoked together is just amazing
“Consciousness is an illusion and so is the self” Thanks Hank❤
Has Hanks hair grown back in curly? How cool! Welcome to the curls club 🎉
“I agree with your vibrations” Hank- please write another book. 💗
Can we consider Hank Green a philosopher in our time. Because all the learning and things he’s doing for community. His big thoughts on the world and our existence and the goals in life. He’s got pupils that follow him to learn. He rights himself when he gets it wrong. I think he is the great philosopher of our time.
Yes absoluely. I'd rather consider Hank our generation's Socrates than someone like Jordan Peterson
My two favorite KZheadrs together, what a dream collab! The interview was seriously perfect
They seem so comfortable together ❤
Hank green helped me pass highschool and most of university, and his SCISHOW channel is so much fun
things Hank Green has done: -B.S. in biochemistry -M.S. in environmental studies -3.77m on vlogbrothers -15.3m on crash course -2.9m on PBS eons -7.8m on scishow -founded educational entertainment studio, Complexly, with John Green -stand up comedy -beat cancer -sell socks -love cereal this is only the tip of the iceberg...
-wrote 2 fiction books -invented 2D glasses

You forgot his music, and DFTBA for KZhead musicians
@@margicates553 what hasn't his man done, i stg he doesnt sleep
- smoked weed with Anthony 6 years ago in New York
I got diagnosed with cancer in 2022. This video hit home so hard I even started crying. I’m in remission now, but thank you so much for opening up about it because not many people do. It means a lot.
Now I really want an episode with Adam Savage for some reason. I know he does QnA stuff on his own channel, but there's something really fun about watching Anthony talk to older adults and tackling topics from multiple perspectives (generation wise).
One time someone hit me with the, “You look like you know about Hank Green…” I couldn’t decide what that meant.
I once said the phrase "I try to imagine people complexly" and someone immediately pegged me for an early vlogbrothers fan.
I been through ill and through dometic violence alot in my life. Everything Hank said hit. We need to talk more, hear more about the experience and what causes the people who go through it. Bad things do happen and we need to be prepared for it. I have a lot of stuff that can lead to cancer and I am still trying to come to terms with this
I agree! I hope maybe this is one of the positives that will emerge from social media once the chaos settles. Accepting and listening to the bad while realizing that it actually makes it less scary to look our fears in the face.
Cancer has always been such a scary thing to me. My family has been hit several times and sometimes I feel like it’s just a matter of time for me. Having Hank, and Grace chronicle and share their experiences with their diagnosis’s and treatments have really helped my anxiety around it and made me feel so much more informed.
Quote from common decent podcast, "Life is a chemical reaction that is continuing in an endless chain for 4.8 billion years." (paraphrasing from memory)
"we love large loads" "Yes we do" Love these two
Hank is truly one of the GOATs of KZhead. His videos on his process and treatment of Cancer really helps me in terms of understanding and dealing with my mothers cancer treatments and brings me a bit closer to understanding what a person going through cancer thinks etc. Fantastic guy for sure. Love you Mom
Hank Green is genuinely one of my favorite humans.
This one's special. It's like 2 old friends catching up and contemplating life.
Yoooo it’s the guy from Dimension 20 Mentopolis
I wish more people approached parenthood the way Hank does..
Back when i was in middle school and high school, some of my teachers actually used crash course videos as part of the curriculum. I felt like i always learned more in those classes because it was so much more interesting than studying a book. Thanks Hank for helping me enjoy my classes back when i was a wee child! 😊
I loved that you spoke with Hank and I love that he's doing stand-up about his journey through cancer. When he found out, I was so worried and concerned for him and his family. Then, I found out that we have autoimmune disorders/diseases under the big umbrella of autoimmune diseases and we take a similar type of injection that can cause cancer. Not to turn it on myself, but I did start to think about the what ifs. Then, I found out in November that I had endometrial cancer, which the stats are not great for. I had to have emergency surgery for a hysterectomy at 40, which is very young for this type of cancer (median age is 62). Thankfully, it was caught early enough that it had not spread, and the removal of uterus and other parts was enough that I didn't have to go through chemo or radiation. However, there was a month before the surgery, where I had the similar thoughts as Hank about take that dark leap. I felt inadequate for my family and support system, especially since I'm also disable, and I just wish that more people spoke about these things. The dark, the bad, the ugly, and the good. I wish I'd had someone to speak to that I wouldn't burden. Therapy would have been great, but the medical bills I already have and the small income I bring in doesn't allow me to take take care of all my medical needs, like most people in the States. As is, I'll never get out of medical debt and the cancer just piled another 10k on top of what I already owe. (Medical insurance covered a little over 90% of it, otherwise...) Anyway, I know this is long and I added a lot of my own personal stuff, but I'm so proud and thankful for Hank speak honestly and truthfully about these things. And thank you to Anthony for expanding the platform to let more people know about this. Now, it's time for a Hank Green Netflix Comedy Special!! Blessings and kind, healing thoughts to all. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I really appreciate Hank’s honesty here, both the good and bad impacts from cancer diagnosis/treatment. I’m the spouse of someone who’s gone through cancer treatments (so a little different) but yeah I’m also working through the added anxiety from that and got myself into therapy as well. You can experience both the highest of highs and the lowest of lows during that period. I look forward to hopefully hearing his stand up. Unfortunately couldn’t make it when he was in my area 😢
35:07 Hank is us and we are Hank.
hank rizzing anthony up was everything i ever needed
One of my very good friends recently passed from her cancer and one of the things we enjoyed together was the nerdfigjter community. On twitter shortly after Hank announced to us what was happening with him, she and him a few short interactions on twitter or threads about ports and getting them putting and removed. I remember reading them after the fact and just marveling over how funny they both were about this terrible thing that was actively killing my friend. It was a beautiful thing to experience. I’m happy Hank is doing better and happy that my friend got to laugh with him for a moment.
Vertical video sensation Hank Green never fails to impress
Hank I watched your videos on Anatomy and Physiology over and over while on my journey to then apply to the Nursing program and here I am! I'm on my third week in the program! You made the complex content so much easier to digest and I thank you a million times for it! Love you Hank!
Two of the classic ytuber men come together for a real conversation. Love it
Thank you so so much for making these interviews ❤ I genuinely enjoy watching them and learning something new .
I have watched him for many years and I was diagnosed with the same kind of cancer (I think slightly higher stage) 2 weeks before Hank announced his to the world. It was so comforting to see someone else going through what I was going through and it really made me feel not so alone. So thanks Hank even if it did make you the "cancer guy", (which I dont think you were) for a bit you've helped me so much on my own journey and Im sure many others aswell.
I grew up with my teachers using crash course for my entire school life. Its fascinating to grow up with a content creator as a stand in teacher then grow up to love watching them as a creator. Thank you so much
Hank Green has been on a journey of meaning, alright! What a quality human, I selfishly hope to always have some bit of Hank content to rely on, in whatever form. And I need a stand up special asap!!
Hank green is definitely not "the cancer guy" he shaped my childhood, helped me learn, find out what I wanted to be when I grew up, and what I still want to do, and one of my first KZhead crushes. He is amazing, funny, kind, the best. Love you Hank, your awesome
Hank's battle with cancer is such an inspiration for me and so many others who've had experiences with cancer, whether it was with themselves or through family.
This episode has had a huge impact on me as somebody who beat cancer when I was 8, he puts into words so well what it was like to go through it and to have survived
So funny seeing Hank's hair grow in so curly after chemo. I've seen it happen quite a bit, same with alopecia, and I think it's interesting!
This man and his brother carried me through AP European History
“nobody changes the world by themselves; nobody doesn’t change it at all” should definitely go into his book
I have always had a lot of medical anxiety, especially surrounding cancer, like at times just hearing the word would make me dizzy, and following Hank's journey with it helped so much, it made it less of a terrifying unknown, and hearing about the treatments, all the scientific facts just made it so much more digestable, I'm so thankful that he shared it the way he did.
Hank is a chaos goblin and I love himb
Hank Green hitting on Anthony was not on my bingo card but I agree! Lmao
Having watched Vlogbrothers from summer of 2007 I'm just so happy for him
I’ve followed Hank for years and I have so much love and respect for him. Absolutely great interview ❤
Happy 500 videos, Anthony! So cool to see how you've improved.
Hank and John doing vlog brothers at 80 sounds so wholesome and comfortable.
So much love and respect for Hank. Grateful that he’s alive and well and still able to travel for things like this. Wishing him many more years of good health, joy, and opportunities ❤
This is the best in your A Day With series I've ever watched, great video!
I'm going through my own experience with Lymphoma at the moment. I've been so grateful to Hank for sharing his journey & I'm grateful to Anthony too for giving him another platform to raise awareness and talk about it amonst all the other amazing thing's he's done ♥
The way that Hank Green describes his standup makes me think of Hannah Gadsby’s special Nanette. It’s a raw experience that’s not all laughs the whole way through, but is punctuated with enough of them to still classify as a comedy special
Enjoyed this episode ❤ also I personally Just wanted to thank Anthony and all the cast for creating these videos . With watching every single one of them i truly notice more growth in myself and learn new things about other people and that has been amazing for me . THANK YOU so much👍❤️
How awesome!!! I’m in college taking anatomy and psychology, and in both classes we watch hank on crash course ATLEAST 3-4 times a week!!! My two worlds colliding!!! We love hank ❤❤
As someone with a Bachelor of Communication Studies I forgot that not everyone knows how disruptive new communications technology is. Like back when Europeans mostly wrote on stone tablets, information could survive a long time but not go much in distance. The printing press made distance easier but longevity only somewhat. The telegraph could go very far distances instantly which was literally never a thing humans could do until then.
I genuinely think Hank has the best chemistry on set of any other interviewee. Not sure if it's him, not sure if it's his years of experience doing things other than vlogging to a camera, but I could listen to you two chat for hours.
Congrats on 500 videos!
"Consciousness is an illusion and so is the self." 💯
Love this. Great interview!
Always happy to watch a great interview with a great guy done by another terrific guy!
This video was sooo awesome!! The insight and humor was on point. Nicely Done.😎👍
Love Hank! Helped me get through the hardest college classes. Even when you have a terrible teacher it's great that there is an amazing one on Crash Course!
2 of my absolute favorite people on KZhead! Feeling star struck 🤩
