Hello and welcome to Dear Hank and John or in this case Dear John and Danielle.

I'm here with Danielle Bainbridge. Hi. Hi John. How's it going? It's going pretty good.

I'm excited to be filling in for Hank. Some may call it taking over Hank's life. Yeah.

I think that this is a soft rebrand to move the vlog brother's brand. I think it's a

really an idea. Every time we had a kid we would have guest hosts for like six weeks. Sometimes

I think maybe we should just do that every year. Like we should just take six weeks off.

Maybe it'd be good for us. And also I think our viewers might frankly I mean I think they're

probably get tired of us. If you don't know Danielle you should you should go to Origin

of Everything which is an incredible YouTube channel from PBS Digital Studios that we help

produce here in Indianapolis, Sheridan and Zuleah at work on that and they do an awesome

job. Origin of Everything tells us a little bit about it Danielle. So Origin of Everything

is a YouTube channel that discusses our shared history and the undertold narratives that

pin that story together. So the topics range from you know histories as broad and kind of

as dark as racism and slavery and government imbalance to things as kind of quirky and offbeat

as why do we popcorn at the movies. All of them have interesting narratives and it's about

getting people interested in how history has a really active role in our lives. Yeah I

mean origin topics go from what is ethnicity to what's the deal with middle names to why

do we have laugh tracks on television to why do we drink milk in school. And I just I love

the breadth of the show. I also love the respect that you have for your audience and I just

think it's great. So check out Origin of Everything. That's the last plug of the entire show except

that my book turtles all the way down is available in bookstores everywhere and anytime you need

a t-shirt you should go to dftv.com. All right let's get into some questions from our listeners. Oh
