"How many siblings do you have?" "Just one." Dave Green is going to be in shambles once he gets off work and watches this video.

i immediately thought of poor David

Haha the third brother works a 9-5
Oh, I guess Harold Green is a cousin or something then.
Hank answering Gen Z questions in a non-judgmental way is healing me
AMEN
So healing!

Same and I didn’t know I needed it. It’s so gentle.
The absence of any discernible scorn or like, condescending vibes is so so nice. He's very gentle about it
A Hip Hop Duo Asks Hank If Their Moms Lied To Them.
"you're not even twins!?" i had to pause to laugh at that one
I literally just did that to cackle and then look for this comment and similar others.
It really got me. Especially as a fraternal twin, where people always thought our older brothers (three years apart) were the twins cause they look more alike
I read this comment as she was saying it. Perfect timing! 🤣
Same, I love it lolol. Laughed so hard.
That made me choke.
I would 100% watch more videos of Hank directly answering science questions by celebrities from other nerddoms!
It's an idea that has been tossed around!!
Yeah, this was a very good video. Thank you Hank. also I feel like the things the average person knows would be more like in the billions but correct me if I’m wrong
@@vlogbrothers do it!!!

Yep
This is some Dave Green erasure. He is the third green brother and he will not be forgotten

Lotta episcopalians in chat gonna love being called chiller Catholics
I’ve always liked the description Catholic Lite 😂
I grew up Episcopalian…a good friend grew up Catholic. So from my experience, WAAAY chiller …and a shit tone less guilt (and also Protestant. It’s the more liberal American version of the Anglican/Church of England). Robin Williams was Episcopalian. He made a whole list of stuff that makes fun of them…but more so Catholics. “All of the pomp, none of the guilt.”
Henry VIII, candidate for least chill British monarch, accidentally founded a chill denomination.
I’m Episcopalian married to a former Catholic (now agnostic), though the rest of his family is still very Catholic. I usually describe being Episcopal as being Catholic without the Pope and any Saints after Henry VIII. Or the incense and guilt 😂!
I'm fine with it. Plus, we believe in all the sacraments for all the people. We've got increasing numbers of women bishops, as well as LGBTQIA+. I've been Episcopalian for about 25 years now; was raised in a very different Christian tradition. I'm a very involved member at a cathedral; I worked for 9 years in a different cathedral & have worked in 3 parish churches. In addition, I'm a theologian (teaching in an ecumenical seminary) & did my master's at an Episcopal seminary. So...I am fully open for questions if anyone has any!
I’m just imagining Jarvis and Jordan sitting silently off camera. Just respectfully listening.
Patiently waiting to get their mics back and simultaneously switching sitting positions every 10 minutes, I can see it so clearly
Or being like "you've been here for eight hours hank please get out of my house"
Omg that is their set up!
I think you can hear Jarvis laugh at "you aren't even twins? 🤯" 6:06
Okay there can't just KEEP BEING MORE STUFF YOU FILMED IN LA. This is straining plausibility.
There are two more things, but they are very small. Oh, and one more big one after that...but that'll be months.
@@vlogbrothers proud of/worried about you, as always ❤️
He either lied about how long he was there, he's devised time travel, or he's found a portal to LA in his new office. Honestly, the first option would surprise me the most

Dave is even more so I imagine
These women are absolutely charming. They are not afraid to not know things, and they are not afraid to joke about it. Thank you!
Hank Green becoming a hip hop promoter is a welcome bingo square to check off. Love these two and their music!
It's giving Link from GMM
Technically you know an infinite amount of facts, because if you know one fact, you know that you know that fact, which is another fact you know. It's infinite recursion ADDITION: People in the replies bring up a similar point, namely whether or not you have to perform the recursion infinitely to know an infinite amount. Personally (not a philosopher), I think processing and knowing are different things, the following is my reasoning: Let's say you know a fact (e.g. that you exist), which we call fact 0. The fact that you know of your existence is fact 1. That is fact 2, and so on. You know each fact to be true, since it relies on the previous being true. Thus the content of any given fact x is "x-1 is true", which is true. So, x==True. This also means that fact x+1 is also true, since it states that "x is true". For any given number (e.g. 42), you can say that it's true, because it states that the previous fact (here 41) is true. This means you don't have to count up each fact to 42 to know it, since you know what it references, and whether the reference is correct. As a result, you don't have to process each fact, but the amount of facts is the same size as the set of countable positive numbers including zero, which is infinite. To me, since you can confidently answer for any fact what it is and whether it's true, that suffices as knowing it. If you've read this far, keep in mind that I study sustainability management and didn't put much thinking into this, so it's probably wrong at some point. It's fun though! Have a nice day!
you just inceptioned me
also all the things you know that you know nothing about
+
But is very important to define knowing. Because if you could think of something but haven't yet you are definitely right. But if you need to have realized it then it is finite because you have a finite amount of time in your life to think and know things
@@ApequH As far as I know, philosophers haven't managed to define knowledge adequately since I was a philosophy undergrad in the early '90s.
“I learned two words today.” “Episcopalian.”
Omg. Hank *would* go on the Sad Boyz podcast, invite other people to it, and then make a video from it. 😂
my thoughts exactly
THATS WHY I RECOGNIZE THE BACKGROUND 😂
I think that episode is already out.
Hank Green, professional thing doer, works hard to do as many things as he can.
The Pistons mascot is a horse because cars have “horsepower”
MILLIONS OF THNGS
@@vlogbrothers another crazy fact is that they were named the Pistons when they played in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Their owner made his money by selling car parts, including pistons. When the team moved to Detroit, it fit even better since it’s the “Motor City”, and they’ve kept the name ever since
Now I want a video just on the etymology of sports teams names.
@@vlogbrothersthis has no -John or -Hank, so that means they both said this in unison
2+2=4
I know this isn't an experience for most of your viewers but i cant quite explain the relief i feel when one of my favorite non-black creators isn't weird when it comes to black people. Even better that they are black women. Thank you, genuinely. Also, hilarious video.
Same!! It feels so good. ❤
I was just thinking: "hmm...Oreos!"
They're young women I think that kinda cancels it out, not that hank would be weird around other black people, but still
@jenm1 ????? Sis imma need you to break that down.
@@Nitecrawlr16 lol right, what does that mean?
I had a helmet baby! It doesn’t squeeze though, it just holds the dimensions you want so as the baby’s head grows it fills in the shape of the helmet. So for example, my baby is as born with the skull fused down the middle and very long front to back. The helmet didn’t allow for any more front to back growth but had extra space on the sides so as she grew,the skull rounded out even though the front to back measurement didn’t change.
that's so clever! I was worried about the squeezing, thank you!
Oh, like fruit that grows into molds. Cool!
I e had 2 helmet babies. It made there cheeks look chubbier when they wore it. It was freaking adorable.
@@HelloDolliesawwwwww
Me: "IS THAT THE SAD BOYZ COUCH?!"
This was my question too
@@NICHANnel I even saw the episode of Sad Boyz with Hank as a guest. I guess I just didn't anticipate Hank making his own video. 🤣
pepsi comes from the fact that it was said to alleviate dysPEPSIa (indigestion)! dyspepsia comes from the greek duspeptos (difficult to digest), which is from dus (bad) and pepsis (ripening or digestion).
Ohhhh, that makes sense! Dyspepsia was (at least perceived to be) a very common ailment in Europe and the US in the 1800s, as people moved to cities where they took on factory jobs where they were standing or sitting in the same place for hours and often had a more limited amount of fresh produce in their diet.
Is that also where Pepto gets its name?
I thought it was because it had pepsid.
Also Pepcid, the original brand name of the the H2 blocker famotidine, had that proprietary name because the root word is "pepsia" (meaning digestion ) which is also in dyspepsia (indigestion) and the digestive enzyme pepsin.
“Gonna need to sit this one out, Perseus. I got the Bad Ripening.” 🤣🤣🤣
"You aren't even twins?!" 😂😂 so much joy
The preface of: “significant respect to your mom…” 🤣🤣🤣
I did not expect that to be so FUNNY! The comedic timing, the callbacks. These ladies are a delight.
Wait, watching Smosh Mouth and knowing that was the other time on Hank's trip where someone thought he and John were twins. Vindication for Amanda I guess lol
Yes that episode did not get enough views!!
Wait how did I miss Hank on Smosh Mouth????
Okay, Flyana Boss are too cool. Their questions are great, their comedic timing is perfect and their vibes are immaculate. Hank is also real, real good.
Love Hank in his collaboration era
This
THE COLLAB OF THE CENTURY
Re: Vernors at 11:50 -- 1) It does still have a little bit of ginger, but not as much as it did at James Vernor's original pharmacy counter, and the amount has probably been dropping for decades. 2) Hank is correct, drinking a freshly opened Vernors can be a bit uncomfortable for some people, because it's so highly carbonated. I usually let my Vernors sit out to go a bit flat before I drink it, or even warm it up to boil off some of the carbonation first. (Source: I am a lifelong Detroiter, older than all of you, and my late husband used to work for a local pop distributor)
Thank you informed older Detroiter!
I love a highly carbonated ginger ale. Gotta find me some Vernor’s!
I love this. I need a full hour of them giggling about dumb jokes and science facts.
Check out the sad Boyz podcast with Hank, this was filmed right after the episode on the sad Boyz set
seconding you checking on Hank's episode on SadBoyz! Flyana Boss shows up halfway through and the chemistry of these them, Hank, and the Sad Boyz is off the charts, it's amazing
I definitely watched it the day it came out lol
1:57 actually, Hank, as an engineer, the heater will make the car slightly more efficient because it is pulling the waste heat away from the engine, so with the tiny bit of fuel that is used by the alternator to power the fans, the waste heat being pulled away from the motor will make up for that. The thing that will hurt the fuel economy more when the heater is on is that most people switch it to recirculating air mode, which increases the amount of drag by closing the cabin intake. So, turn on the heater and turn off recirculate!
Most people only use recirculate because they drive in a city that smells like *ass* when that air is heated
@@Rabcup I would recommend getting a charcoal air filter for the cabin filter if you are in a big city. Even if you use recirc
@@Rabcup I was going to ask, people use recirculation mode for things other than driving past a known skunk or a particularly stinky animal barn? Your comment answered my question, I forgot smog and such exists 😂
Is it more efficient to recirculate when using the AC?
@@rethinkOURreality no, it will always be more efficient to use fresh flow, by a pretty small margin. You probably won't be able to calculate your fuel economy difference either way in most new cars. Older cars have a much bigger difference. Ultimately, though, your comfort will matter more than the couple of pennies you will save, so set your car up to make you happy. :)
HOLD UP! Nutritional Therapy here! Q.V. Drinking liquids during a meal SOME folks, and it's more common as we get older after our teen years, have difficulty maintaining a pH low enough to activate digestive enzymes (pepsin/protease) and this can reduce one's ability to digest proteins. Stong stomach acid is also needed to digest minerals. Now with soups, much of the action of the acids and enzymes has been helped along by the cooking process. The minerals are more bioavailable, being at least partially dissolved into the stock, and proteins that are cooked longer in a liquid are more accessible for chemical and enzymatic reactions. But if you're having a rare steak which needs that acidic environment, and you chug a glass of water, you're diluting your stomach acid, forcing the body to *attempt* to reacidify it. Healthy digestion of protein is going to happen between about 1.5pH ~ 2.8pH. At a higher pH than 2.8 your pepsin won't activate very well. Many people with chronic indigestion can have a pH at mealtime that is thousands of times more alkaline than required, which leads to a series of gastric issues. A gastroenterologist can offer ways of testing your stomach pH. So beverages at mealtime are ok in moderation, and small sips are recommended.
I did not know that. I have GERD, which I guess is the opposite problem
I did not expect to see such an interesting and informative comment. Thank you for this.
+
Also, people who drink during dinner, sometimes don't really chew and chewing is important, so that's another thing to keep in mind.
I noticed, when getting older (30+), that everything inside my body likes a stable routine so I learned to barely take a sip or two before or while having a meal (usually just lunch) and chug a glass or two afterwards if I remain thirsty. Breakfast and dinner are limited to light snacks cuz If I do too much I cannot get a full lunch or I risk getting an unpleasant night. This routine also helps keeping my circumference in check ✔️
And all of a sudden I’m missing KZhead collab culture!! This dynamic was so good
8:14 Mochi ice cream is held together via cornstarch. I would go that route instead of a sauce. 😁
Having charming young artists ask me a constant stream of science questions I know the answer to is such a dream job.
Wait, I got confused. Me too, all the time.
this is absolutely one of my favorite videos freom vlogbrothers, basically EVER. edit: "crystallized intelligence" is such a good phrase holy shit
Yeah! It's a helpful psychological concept, crystallized intelligence vs fluid intelligence
I didn't know about Flyanna Boss before 1 hr ago and now I'm a fan. Their music is sooo good and I must find this podcast. I love these ladies.
This is like when the teacher says “pair up with someone you haven’t before.”
Part of the group of Hank fans that know who flyana boss is and flyana boss fans that know who hank is!! Extremely unexpected collab but it was so fun. This flew by. Thought i was at max halfway through the video when folayan said "last question."
I love how obvious it is that these two are just. So thrilled. To be talking to Hank. It's like they're talking to their favorite cool uncle. So precious
fun fact about john am hank being twins. When i started to watch them lile 10 years, I did not realize there were two of them. I thought there was one person who had done videp for such a long time that there were recent videos and old video; and that's why sometimes he looked younger and sometimes he looked older. I probably watched some video of blog rothers for 3 month until they had a reunion video. My mind was BLOWN!
“What is knowing?” “What is touching?” you’d think i would be used to the existential questions from Hank
The vibes on this video are IMMACULATE!
This just sounds like friends hanging out and bsing and it's adorable.
Truly the cutest thing
It's giving nieces with their cool older uncle 😂
You taste food better when it's hot because of the smell. Scent molecules move faster, like hank said. That's why you have to over season food if it's a cold item
This is such a wholesome and unexpected crossover. Genuinely funny to watch.
i want a podcast of just this, giggles and all. this was delightful.
You're in luck. The sad Boyz episode with Hank is just that. Infact that episode was recorded right before this video In that very room
I don’t know these women, but y’all’s chemistry is good! Also, why did I read the title as „Hip Hop Duo raps questions to me“? That’s not what it says. That hasn’t been it.
i'd watch the hell out of that though
I don't know them either but I love the unabashed confidence with which they'll ask the first, completely irrelevant question on their mind.
There are so many inside jokes in this video that started in the Sad Boys episode with Hank and Flyana Boss, I love it.
i’m reeling thank you for giving us a space to be a fan of all three of you at once
Watching a Vlogbrother interact with a non-Vlogbrother might be my favourite Vlogbrother genre.
About starches: we eat something called Guiso in Argentina and it comes with cubes of potatoes, short pasta (macaroni for example) onion, bell pepper, spices and meat. So, we mixed starches like crazy for a couple centuries now. Don't make me started on LOCRO.
About the "Piston being a horse" thing, the Detroit Pistons' logo being a horse isn't directly related to the name, but it ties back to the Motor City theming: It's a horse because cars are measured with horsepower.
Vernors was developed by James Vernor (who was the first licensed pharmacist in Michigan) in the 1860s, and it did have actual ginger in it for about hundred years, so it probably did have some medicinal value, but in the 1950s or 60s, they switched to ginger flavor. Nowadays I would guess that it's more of a placebo effect, my mom gave it to me and told me it would help my stomachache, and her mom gave to her, etc.. so it makes you feel better!
Yeah, my mom always gave it to us when we were sick. But she grew up in Michigan in the 50s and 60s, so she probably remembered having the old recipe and really thought it would help. Not sure it actually helped us, but I doubt it hurt, and I do think there was kind of a placebo element that occurred.
This video was so much fun that about 80% of the way through the video I was like “This might be longer than four minutes.” I was 12 minutes in. It went by so fast because it was so fun
How does Hank have such amazing chemistry with absolutely everyone.
Genuinely one of the best energies I've encountered online. That was great.
THEYRE SO FUNNY
One of them will become a science person because she is clearly a Vulcan.
2:21 "You don't know how many, though." *Hank making his dad status known*
love that this is just in the sad boyz studio
Lacksmiths can unlock Lambo’s. I have done it. Satellite features don’t work in some parking garages or in valleys where mountains may block the signal. Also, if the battery is dead, the remote services can’t unlock the car. In these cases, you need a locksmith. General Motors’ (Chevy) On Star service has been able to unlock vehicles remotely for at least 10 years and it may be closer to 20 years now, so Lambo is behind the curve there.
My family owns one of those cars mentioned as easily hacked; and it was indeed taken for a joyride bcuz we didnt know until after the fact that there was an issue (even tho we had literally got it from a dealer wks before) Ended up bein a thousand in dmgs and its why now the car has a steerin wheel lock we use, esp at night
lambos use VW computer modules (so does Audi and Bentley) I believe they are just now about to offer satellite features for their newest "high value" models.
Someone who understands even the most basic arithmetic knows an infinite number of facts just from counting.

OMGGGG i saw these two when they opened for Janelle Monáe and have been in love ever since 🩷🩷🩷🩷 what a great collab
"Thank you for dying." I'm fucking dead 💀
I thought hank and john were identical twins and I would feel so proud of myself that I could easily distinguish who was who and now I feel like a fool.
😂😂
I read the title and for a second thought of "Hank Science" in the same way I think "Sans Undertail" .... and I kinda actually like that idea. Good work, Hank Science!
This pairing was so unexpected but so thoroughly enjoyable/entertaining 🤩 Thank you Hank and Flyana Boss!!!
saw these 2 in concert and their energy was so infectious - it was a great show!
MINNESOTA SHOUT OUT
As a longtime nerdfighter I have to say, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE FLYANA BOSS AND I'M SO PSYCHED ABOUT THIS UNEXPECTED CROSSOVER!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
This is so ... "2 kids won lunch with their favorite teacher" coded by every person's delivery lol. Hank answering questions without judgement, the comedic timing of the girls
This was surprisingly fun to watch. I would have never thought Hank Green would interact this comfortably with these two. Truly fantastic. I would happily watch Hank Green get questioned by other people as well. I would also enjoy these two asking other people questions. Maybe even all three of them together having a 4th guest, would be fun.
"You don't mix starches" for some reason, that was an acquired rule of mine that wasn't ever said. My wife is Japanese and she regularly mixes rice with potatoes or some type of noodle. And then I realised I'm french and we have bread with everything and it's just the same thing! lol
I've heard their music before but never seen these artists and they are the CUTEST humans ever. Also, I genuinely love how Hank embraces generational differences and encourages sharing knowledge across age groups rather than assuming/acting like younger people are dumb and just need to shut up and listen. One of the things I'm most grateful for about being raised in a smaller city (town?) is that I grew up interacting with people who were much older and then much younger than me and seeing the ways in which everyone could contribute to the community rather than being siloed in by age group at all times. What I'm trying to say is thanks for encouraging intergenerational community, Green brothers!
I did not expect this collab?? Incredible, they've done it again.
Fun fact! The wirelessly accessible main computer found in modern cars, can engage the breaks and steering remotely. Also the company that sold you your car added that they can spy on everywhere that you go and sell that info to anyone they like. Cars are scary for all these reasons and more. Happy driving!!!
You guys were a hoot. Enjoyed the banter very much. And Brazilians average about 3 starches for their main meal: a tuber (manteiga), a tuber flour ( farofa) and bread (pão). Every main meal. Every!
Yes, food, particularly sugary foods have more flavor if it's heated according to my training as a nutrition consultant. I can't explain why though. Foods like ice cream will taste too sweet when melted but will be the perfect sweetness when frozen.
Hank explained it: temperature is just the average speed of single molecules, when higher they are more likely to get airborne and reach our nostrils!
As an old, I did not know these two. They are delightful; I'm glad to have that changed.
@9:10 it sounds like their mommas didnt want them to fill up on mostly water during meals. Along with the 1 starch per meal rule, sounds like they've got caring mommas 🥺❤
I’ve never heard of them before but this is now my favorite Vlogbrothers video, I was DYINGGG
"you are not even twins!' killed me
I saw Flyana Boss as the opener to Janelle Monae's concert - they were great and had such fun energy! Love seeing them pop up here!
I had a dream last night that John uploaded a video with president Joe Biden visiting him in his basement This is home how more surprising
Saw Flyanna Boss open for Janelle Monae last year. Their energy is so fun, they got the crowd hype af.
“I don’t think you know, what you think you know, baby. But baby I don’t know what I know what I know…maybe.” Is all I could think of during this interview 😂😂
HANK do not forgot about Dave!! You have TWO siblings.
Vernors!! I am loving all this Detroit representation from Bobbi. (Hello from Windsor, Canada -- we're the city next to Detroit that wouldn't let John enter our country)
Please please do more of this!’ Very heart warming and hilarious
FLYANA BOSS!!!!!!! oh my god i am so thrilled to watch this
The starch question made me think of this thing I had at a korean baseball game. It was rice, plain white rice, inside a dumpling, breaded with panko and potato cubes on the outside. It was a lot of starch.
My husband would still put that between two slices of bread.
This collaboration is both very unexpected and also makes a lot of sense
I love the energy of this video. Thank you for sharing it!
Oh my heck these two musicians are so ADORABLE it makes ANGRY #cuteaggression
I am loving the Detroit references! And I'm happy to hear Hank say it's awesome. I LOVE Vernors (of course). Here's a fun drink I've made: equal parts Vernors (reg. or diet is fine) and spiced cherry wine (one of the Michigan ones, of course!) with ice. It's a great summer spritzer! TRY IT. (Now Vernor's makes a cherry version, but I've been making this drink for years.)
I love this trio- this is amazing
This is the craziest crossover that I’ve ever seen
Hank: Doesn't your child have a skull??
