Katherine: [Singing] Dancing in September da-de-da
Hank: What're you talking about?
K: Was it like this?
H: What, was what like this?
K: [Singing] Never was a cloudy day
K: You didn't hear about that? I know about something that happened on twitter that you, that you don't know about?
H: I don't know what you're talking about. What was it? What happened on Twitter??
K: I don't, I don't think I can talk about it. I don't want-
H: You don't think you can talk about it??
K: Well I don't want Swifties coming after us
H: Swifties. Who are the fans of Taylor Swift.
K: Is that what they call them? I don't even know, she apparently released some sort of cover song and-
H: Did people not like it?
K: People were not having it
H: You know, I think that, that there's a certain point-
K: There was no, everyone was like "And why? Who asked for this?"
H: And this was totally fine
K: Cos it was Earth Wind and Fire cover
H: Yeah
K: Yeah did you not hear about this?
H: No
K: Wow how did you miss this
H: There’s a certain point at which you have had a great deal of success in your life and you can be like y'know I'm just gonna do cool fun things and help communities and, and not.. maybe Taylor Swift's done with being Taylor Swift.
K: [Laughs]
H: I feel that way about Justin Timberlake a little bit, I was, I'm like you did a great job being Justin Timberlake, you were right in the center of everything and you can't stay there forever
K: I mean I don't know enough about Justin Timberlake-
H: Now just go off and-
K: - but I do feel like he’s tryna like have his second
H: - be the benevolent..
K: - second moment
H: Yeah, well he already had his second, he had his third moment
K: That's true, that's true
H: -he's had so many moments
K: He's had a lot of moments
H: And now he can go, go and be a benevolent weirdo. I think that there's.. being a benevolent weirdo is way underrated and I think that Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift should continue writing music, they just shouldn't necessarily think that they're gonna be what they once were.
K: Mhmm
H: And I say that to myself as well.
K: [Laughs] As a person who is no longer what they once were.
H: I, you know, I don't hold the same place in the echelon of online content

K: [Laughs]
H: - Trunk Club at-ed me and said "we got you covered Hank, thumbs up"
K: What a weird world
H: And I said "did I just get a sponsorship or...?
K: [Laughs]
H: I don't think I did
K: No
H: They wanna send me stuff, but they dont wanna pay me to do it
K: Well no, they never do
H: I think that they pay some people-
K: Yeah
H: -I could talk about it on, on Delete This and be like "Trunk Club they sent me clothes"
K: Don't, don't give it to 'em for free babe
H: [laughs] Well I haven't, I don't know what the service is like. I did use Trunk Club for a little while
K: I was wondering if you were going to -
H: I didn't love it [laughs]
K: -disclose that or not-
H: [laughs]
K: -yeah they kept sending you expensive things you didn't like-
H: They were so, they were, it was like.. I don't live on a boat you guys!
K: [laughs] Where did you get the idea that my aesthetic was 'boat person'?
H: [laughs] Yeah this is like, there's definitely shoes for boat living-
K: [laughs]
H: -for but, like nice boats, not like, not like Uncle Ray's fishing boat but like yacht clothes -
K: Yeah like Uncle-
H: -it was too nice for me
K: Uncle Percy's-
H: Yes! Uncle Percy's boat, not Uncle Ray's boat
(04:00) to (06:00)
yeah
but i also, ill say, got several other non-trunk club trunk-club-like companies also reached out to me-
uhuh
-theyre fighting for me now, i got i got a so its a war for my bod to cover my gams
laughs oh god cos now he's bringing gams back too
laughs
whats the other word that you were uh oh Sacagaweas-
oh yeah Sacagaweas and gams-
maybe you know, if theyll send you some Sacagaweas
yeah
uh and some clothes
yeah
maybe we can talk
i need some Sacagaweas to cover these gams
no. you want Sacagawea pants?
no! i want them to give me Sacagaweas in exchange for covering my gams with their particular clothes that were sent i dont want pants.. yes i want pants made out of dollar coins
laughs
who are we kidding??
laughing oh no dont say that dont put that in the world someone will do it
no ones gonna do that would be extremely expensive
someone definitely made things out of metal
man if somebody wants to make me a pants out of dollar coins-
a pants
-one pant, i dont care if its one, it can be a very small pants? any size i will wear them as long as i get to keep em. i feel like they would also be very heavy
oh yeah
in any case trunk club thank you for providing a great service for some people it didnt really work out for me
thats a long time that we spent talking about that tweet
its true, and i will say that was a long time ago maybe trunk club has reformed. i tweeted about cameros this week katherine
wow
i said i wont ever by a camero because im boring and practical and drive less than 100 miles a year but i am always excited to see new models come out look at these beautiful objects and this is like a highlight for me. new models of cameros only come out like once every-
right like
-two or three years-
like a full redesign?
- and every time it happens im like oo wait i wanna see and i, i dont care about cars at all
yeah the camero doesnt do it for me but the, these dodge challengers really do-
ohh
- anyway wow what the heck-
(06:00) to (08:00)
we're talking about cars
- what the heck is happening
uh there was some disagreement about whether or not i actually drive less than 100 miles a year.. yes i drive more than 100 miles a year sorry i was exaggerating
uggh
how did people were like how is that possible and i was like "lies! through lies!-
laughing
-through the magic of not always saying exactly true things!"
laughing (6.20) i did a lie guys!-
laughing
-it was ch-not an important one!
laughing yeah you know-
it was-
-i did a lie
-a hyperbolic lie i made a lie
we dont drive that much but we do drive more than 100 miles a year um we got some
(6.36)(?)
fan art
oh yeah, that was kinda nice
yeah, thank you to RAC_living however thats pronounced for our fan art. and the cat is actually in the fanart and also very close to katherine
shes like
looking
trying to stand on me
yeah shes like i dont really know how i can bother you more but if i can let me know how
shes getting a little shes getting up some pets
yeah shes (?)
shes giving me some purs
thats good, thats good
we didnt feed her because
cause its fun
i like her
yeah we like the attention that she gives us when she hasnt been fed
laughs we'll feed her afterwards dont worry
i also had a schedule thing on my calendar that said meet with mary-ann to fix everything
yeah i really liked that one but im not sure that everything got fixed
i wouldnt say everything got fixed, but the thing we were trying to fix did.. is getting fixed
oh
and it is getting fixed mostly not by me which i love
oh me too
but i do, when i saw this calendar i was like what if that was a real thing
laughing
and in 25 minutes we were really gonna fix everything that
laughing
we had to fix. and i did fix a lot of things this week i felt good about my work performance
you had a pretty productive week in the home as well
yeah we had a great weekend
the weekend was good
we went to see goats and sheep-
(08:00) to (10:00)
mhmm
-we made a cake
you made a cake i made soup
april 10th: i feel like ive read enough headlines discussing what hte president is quote thinking about doing. tell me when he does stuff im tired of needing to be concerned about every thought that flits through his brain
mmmmm
i was a little mad about the president
but you didnt at him
i didnt, this was in response to the president or a bunch of people saying that the president is thinking about firing rod rosenstein
yeah
and i was like i dont like i keep hearing what hes thinking about and i feel like he kinda thinks about a lot of things
laughing
and he says them out loud to his notoriously leaky white house and its very difficult for the press to not report on every single thing that gets leaked because thats what they feel like their job is but when the white house is this leaky
mm
and the president is thinking about so many things it just becomes this fire hose of uselessness and so thats what that is about and i maybe shouldnt have said 'every thought that flits through his brain' it feels a little bit too combative
and dismissive
and dismissive
yeah
of the most powerful man in world
fake gagging noises
yeah i dont know and it seems to me like it feeds into the narrative of the press hates the president because theyre constantly saying things that end up to not be important
right
because in a normal whitehouse it would be the president wouldnt be talking about firing rod rosenstein unless he was going to uh but in this whitehouse he seems to have whatever opinion came-
he just says yeah
-came by him most recently
yeah he just says whatever its not normal, nothing about this situation is normal or reasonable so heyy
wheezywaiter said we should be talking about what im thinking instead cos my thoughts are awesome, for instance i just thought about how feasible it would be-
(10:00) to (12:00)
-for someone to make money if they gathered up all the dog poop that owners leave in my neighbourhood and sell it for fertilizer or something
laughing oh boy they could start a good business here in missoula cleaning up dog poop in public places
or just our driveway come on its our driveway! the park by the playground with the children!-
yeah
- the baby children playing
i know just like huge turds
huge like a like a meter long
yeah like a foot from the from the sand box
right where the kids fall over they cant control themselves theyre made of wiggle noodles
laughs they are they are wiggle noodles
they are
fully wiggle noodles
fully wiggly
thats a different situation from the president to dog poop... well maybe not that far away afterall
oh goodness me
laughs im more afraid of the swiftians than
the magites what do they call em?
trumpers
still april 10th: thinking about doing an old tweets segment on delete this pod but i have no idea how to find my old tweets. some people gave some updates on how to and i totally it totally worked
i like that that idea
yeah and heres one thats from 2011: sometimes i re-realise that the way we communicate with each other and the world is being revolutionised and it is exciting
ugh
whos that guy???
sometimes i re-realise
yeah!
well you.. hes a worse writer than you
whats wrong with re-reealise?? I think thats a clever turn of phrase
ohh well thats nice
laughing shes patting me
laughing
ughhh so yeah the, the situation is that 153 likes ago. nope what a weird thing to say
yeah
so the situation is that uh in 2011 i was really excited about how internet media was gonna revolutionize things and and look as john was saying in the last episode of dear hank and john-
(12:00) to (14:00)
-sometimes we feel like uh we think somethings gonna solve all the problems and it turns out that it wont, you wanna turn all the way back and maybe im going a little bit too far the other direction right now but i do not feel as optimistic about the excitement of the revolution in communication as i did
its hard
