Your new book, The Fault in Our Stars, has - aside from being totally gripping and touching

and hilarious and genius, which no one knows yet, because I've read it, but they haven't

- has become something of a sensation. Like, I don't know if you know this, but I don't

think that anyone has ever done what you just did. And of course, when I say you, I mean

us.

Uh, including me, because I helped. Uh, I made half of our 875 videos. And more than

me, the people who, uh, watch the videos have helped. THANK YOU! But yeah, number one on

the Amazon and Barnes&Nobles bestseller charts, four days running with, like, no publicity

at all!

And, uh, this story was just written up in the freakin' Wall Street Journal, and John,

the people who read the Wall Street Journal are like very important. These are people

who can seriously impact, like, your future career. And those people are probably coming

right now from the Wall Street Journal article to check out the vlogbrothers and see what

this is all about. And so, as your brother, I'm going to make sure we put our best foot

forward for those people, so that you have maximum opportunity to get uh... no, I'm not.

[Instrumental version of Shake-A-Booty plays]

Are the Wall Street Journal viewers gone yet?

And that was a very punishing punishment. Also, because Geoff Pepos, the guy who came

around with me to film all of this, 'cause I was pretty sure Katherine wouldn't want

to do it. I told him it was a punishment, and he was like "Well, Hank, now that you

have told me it is a punishment, I'm going to make sure that it is punishing." Like the

one in front of the restaurant with me humping the drunk people sign? That was a very long

shot.

The song that you heard during that is a karoke track from a song from Ellen Hardcastle called

"Shake-A-Booty". And that was produced by the magnificent Luke Conard, who you probably,

you probably knew that, just by listening to it. But it's my first dance song! And I'm

really excited to let you have the full version... eventually.

Speaking of which, pre-orders for Ellen Hardcastle begin never! John's book has a very long pre-order

time, and my album has no pre-order. We've decided! So, that's different for me.

John, I really do want to congragulate you on the, the pre-success of The Fault in Our

Stars. It deserves it. It's gonna be a pretty big deal, I think. And thank you so much to

the nerdfighters for, uh, making this a huge, huge freaking deal! And being a part of something

that I think is pretty historical in the, uh, in the timeline of the publishing industry.

Uh, this is going to be amazing. All the success, even the Wall Street Journal article, is very

well-deserved. John, I'll see you on Monday.

Nerdfighter: Hey, what's up? Hank: Nice to meet you. Is it okay if I hump

your car? Nerdfighter: Yeah, go for it.

Hank: Awesome, thank you.

Random guy: Kiss that fish! Yeah!
