Hi! I no longer need my tickets to the Winston-Salem, NC leg of the tour on Sept. 25 at 7 PM. It's a general admission ticket and I'd be willing to sell it at the price I bought it at ($46). Let me know! Go Nerdfighters!!!

Are we supposed to read Hollywood, Ending before going to the tour? How much is it going to spoil the book? I really don't want to have anything significant spoiled but I don't really know what the event *is* if it's not spoiling anything...

I was surprised i didn't see this connection made when I searched the subreddit, so I thought I'd share. I recently watched a short of the British TV show "Would I Lie To You" where they make a joke that someone's name is Manhole.

We all know Hank enjoys British comedy. I immediately started wondering - is this the origin story of Manhole? So I started digging. This episode is season 9 episode 7, from 11 Sept 2015.

Hank suggested Manhole as a good dog name in episode 137 of Dear Hank and John, from April 23, 2018, so it's entirely possible he had seen the episode prior to making the pod.

Perhaps it was lingering in his subconscious just waiting for an opportunity? Or maybe he was just thinking about manholes that day. :)

Hi! Thanks to everyone who has preordered Hollywood, Ending or gotten tickets to the shows. I am so excited (and appropriately nervous) but most of all grateful. I wanted to let you know that the New York City show (on September 22nd) will go on presale to nerdfighteria TOMORROW (Wednesday July 22nd) at 10 AM eastern time. To access the presale, just use the password dftba.

Also, the events in Tulsa, Indianapolis, and Salt Lake City have all sold out unfortunately. Toronto and Kansas City will sell out pretty soon, so if you want tickets to those cities, I recommend getting them as soon as possible.

Thanks again for all your support for this book. I really hope you like it.

Hello, I am listening to the Humans episode with Andy Weir and heard the tweet Hank mentioned for "Hank Green-isn" has anyone found this?

Thanks

For a brief time during the Smush beta period, you could redo a board by simply refreshing the page. I submitted feedback saying that I appreciated that option. That option was removed before the beta ended and since then I have been practically begging John/Hank to give us the option to keep trying for a clean plate or better score, even just for our own edification. I have submitted the feedback form several times.

Well today, after discovering the secret 4x3 button mash achievement, I started clicking on random parts of the page on Smush looking for a similar achievement.

To my absolute delight, I discovered that if you tap the SMUSH logo at the top of the page five times in a row, you can reset the board and try again! It will give you a new shareable scorecard each time you retry it, but it keeps your initial score in the history log.

I immediately ran here to share the news for anyone else like me who has been itching to iterate until a clean plate solution is found.

Happy Smushing!!!

The meetup will take place on Saturday October 3rd at noon inside the SF MOMA on the 4th floor near Andy Warhol's Triple Elvis [Ferus type] because Andy Warhol never gets old. If there are to many Nerdfighters to not be disruptive to other museum goers the meetup will move to the park across the street. DFTBA

John Green's world cup prediction deviated from the actual results by 368 spots, beating the official FIFA ranking which was off by 404 spots. Biggest win for John was Ghana which placed 26th with John predicting 29th while FIFA predicted 45th. Biggest loss for John was Sweden which FIFA correctly placed in 31st but John predicted to be 19th. FIFA got four correct while John got one correct (Spain). Obviously FIFA rankings and John Green's prediction of "Likelihood to Win the World Cup" don't really match up with each other or actual result ranking, but still fun.

Not saying it’s a fiction but the more I hear about this story the more I thought about Hazel and Augustus.

Can somebody interpret this Smush result? I’m unsure what the pancakes and gold square mean.

John in particular has signed many books, but living in the UK and buying second hand books mean I don't own any with a signature. Since John joked about his signature lowering the value of books I was wondering how many Nerdfighters owned one.

In the latest live i asked John about the upcoming Brooklyn tour and the fact that it was not our yet for purchase. He said they planned to release it on Tuesday!!!

In the most recent episode of Humans (with Andy Weir), Hank talks about how it would be nice to have a news channel that only shares the good things going on rather than all the bad things. I think a lot of you would appreciate such a thing so I’d like to share the yt channel Good News (yeah that’s what its called) where they literally just tell us all the good things that happened at least once a month

here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/@Good__News

I think in a world where all the information is at your fingertips, you’ve gotta make a deliberate choice to find the kind of information that’ll keep you healthy

Have you ever wondered how #TBFighters became the movement it is today? Researchers at three prestigious universities are preparing to study that now, and they need YOUR input! See the attached flyer and sign up for an interview with the researchers here: https://calendly.com/londonsin/tb-fighters-interview

Want to know more about the study first? The researchers are hosting informational Q&A sessions next week! See the attached flyers for details and Zoom link in our calendar:

Surely there's a bunch of wikipeida savy nerds here no?

I know I'm late to the game here, but the website says there's a few tickets remaining. The "Get tickets" button appears to be broken, however. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I hadn't noticed Hank's hanklerfish logo on 4x3. I think it's a really cute Easter egg.

hardcover too!

Super excited to go!! Attending with my dad, an 08' nerdfighter, and of course myself. I was born May of 2007, so I'm a bit younger than vlogbrothers! I've grown up with John and Hank my whole life... gonna be super weird to exercise this parasocial relationshio in person!
