First 90 secondsHank Green· Host0:00
[gong] You're listening to a Complexly podcast. [upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to Dear Hank & John.
John Green· Host0:11
George, I prefer to think of it Dear John & Hank.
Hank Green· Host0:13
It's a podcast where two brothers answer your questions, give you dubious advice, and bring you all the week's news from both Mars and AFC Wimbledon. John- Yeah ... I actually have recently started to, uh, to, to rent out one of my toilets to a British soldier.
John Green· Host0:27
Oh, you're a landlord.
Hank Green· Host0:28
Yeah, but, but only for British soldiers, which is a real betrayal of my roots. Uh, I asked him, and he said that he's a lieutenant.
John Green· Host0:35
[laughs] I like how you said it's a betrayal of your roots as if, like, your ancestors participated in the American Revolution.
Hank Green· Host0:43
[laughs] We can't be providing quarter to British soldiers. [laughs] That's, like, the main American thing.
John Green· Host0:47
That is true. [laughs] I mean, ostensibly we also can't provide quarter to American soldiers.
Hank Green· Host0:52
Yeah, no, that's also a big deal. Shouldn't do that.
John Green· Host0:55
Yeah. It is in the Constitution, so- Yeah [laughs] ... you've been illegally lieutenanting.
Hank Green· Host1:01
[laughs] Yeah.
John Green· Host1:03
How are you, Hank?
Hank Green· Host1:03
Well, no, it's okay, it's, it's okay as long as it's not forcible. Uh, it's just a, it's just a betrayal of my roots. I'm okay. We had an amazing Project for Awesome. I chose a British joke because during the Project for Awesome, I was forced to speak in a British accent- Yeah ... and not just one, but many different British accents at random flowing into each other without control for over a half an hour.
John Green· Host1:26
Yeah, it was pretty impressive from what I saw of it, but not in a good way.
