Vlogbrothers, Hank Green - ONE MILLION NERDFIGHTERS! lyrics

Good morning John!

This morning I got up, checked
Twitter, tweeted about my halitosis
Kissed my cat, brushed my teeth
Got in my car, filmed
Some SciShow, got some P4A
Perks ready to ship, went back
Home, tumbled, made a video for
Hankschannel, molested the kitty
Went out to the warehouse with Katherine
Folded mug
Boxes, because I love folding mug boxes
Made a video for the
DFTBA Records channel, then came home
Edited an episode of hankgames
Live, tumbled some more, loaned
Some money through Kiva
And then I made a vlogbrothers
Video i haven't actually made
The vlogbrothers video yet that last
Part was a lie

The video that I made
For hankschannel was sort
Of like a walk-through of all of the
Vlogbrothers designs since late 2007
Internet Archives' first archive
Of the vlogbrothers YouTube
Channel was December 1st, 2007
Eleven months after we started making
Videos, and we had just under 10, 000
Subscribers and that was a huge deal we'd
Been making videos for a long time
And we were very proud of that
Number it was really amazing

And yes, this is what that looked
Like four by three! Actually yeah
That's it this is this is more

On the day that we hit 10, 000 subscribers
We also launched the first Project
For Awesome we thought
That our community was so big on YouTube that
It was a shame that we were not using
It to do some good in the world

People do not feel that way about 10, 000
Subscribers anymore the Project
For Awesome, however
Was a huge success that
Year, and it has been a
Huge success every year since
This year, we raised over
$400, 000, and finally
I get to tell you who's
Going to get that money!
I'm sorry this took so long, but it turns out
That when you're giving a lot of money away
It gets complicated legally it's dumb

We have the Office of Letters and Light
Not Forgotten, the Wildlife Waystation
The Alzheimer's Society
The Harry Potter Alliance
Save the Children, the BGSU Dance Marathon
Uncultured Project, techo, and
Love 146 Dayton Task Force

Thank you to all those charities for
Doing such great work thank
You to those people who made
Videos to support them

Obviously for me
The big thing hanging over this video
Is that we got a
Million subscribers this week and we
Also got 300 million video
Views on vlogbrothers and with help of you
If you would like to
Help, we would also like to hit
A third milestone this week
And that is reaching $2 million
Loaned through kivaorg's nerdfighter
Group we're very close we're
At like $1976 million

If you have a current account
You may have $25
Or even more than that just sitting there
Ready to loan and
If you don't have a current account
There's a link in
The description probably the first $25
Loaned will be free
Donated for you to loan out

Now, somehow, despite the fact that having
A million subscribers is
Obviously a huge deal, and is
Very important to me, and it
Feels totally impossible, at the same time
When I think back to
What our channel was, when we
Had 10, 000 subscribers
I feel about the same about this
Project now as I did then

Maybe that's because, to some extent, these
Videos have always been, and remain
Just videos that I'm making for my
Big brother maybe it's because we've
Always been open about who we
Are and how we live
Our lives, while still being entertaining
So people don't get the wrong idea
About us being more than we
Are maybe because this community
Is just a one-of-a-kind
Never-to-be-seen-again kind of thing, and
In any case
I'm happy that that's how I feel

So thank you to everyone who's
Been a part of this
Over the years whether you
Started watching when I
Was giving away Peeps on the street in 2007
Or
When I was translating dance songs in 2013
Thanks for watching and finally
A little bit of research I want
To do in the comments
- please, I'm curious, what was the
First vlogbrothers video you watched
And when was
That? I understand if you don't remember I
Remember what my first vlogbrothers videos
I watched was it was the first
One, before anyone else saw it
'cause I made it

I was the first person to
Watch a vlogbrothers video! Hipster!
I was watching vlogbrothers videos before
It was cool! Also, so are you you are right
Now watching vlogbrothers videos
Before it's cool hopefully it
Will never be cool

John, I will see you on Tuesday
