Vic Michaelis: Can you tell me a secret?

Hank Green: I can, but I have to write it down with my notes!

Vic: You have to write down your secret?

Hank: Well, I-

Vic: Oh, for me to read!

Hank: [Well] Yeah, because otherwise, all these people are gonna know my secret and I'm gonna tell you a real secret. This is one of the biggest secrets of my life. 

Vic: Is that true?

Hank: Yeah, and it's gonna take me a second probably to write [it] down.

Vic: Okay.

Hank: So you guys can talk amongst yourself. 

Vic: (claps before talking) I love this. Oh man, I love secrets. I think secrets... are... fun and it's like an easy way to connect with people too, is just like, there's just something very, very fun about it and also too, I genuinely believe that like, as people getting to like bear witness to other people's lives is like one of the greatest things that you can do. It like creates a lot of purpose. It's why like, being there in times of grief is really important, but I think secrets sort of operate in a similar way as well. It can be obviously like if you're like unloading on somebody that doesn't, isn't prepared or like doesn't wanna take that on, that's a different thing, but that is how I personally feel about 

(Hank giggles.)

Vic: secrets. Raise your hand if you got a secret in the room here.  Okay, yeah. Look at that. Raise your hand if you like secrets. Put your hands down. Put 'em back up. 

(Crew laughing.)

Vic: Raise the room!

(Crew laughing.)

Vic: I love this. I think in another life, I could be a amazing youth leader for something and I don't know what it is, tough time with teenagers. I think that's maybe my fatal flaw. Okay, ready? Okay. Hmm. 

Hank: Made me sweat.

Vic: I have so many follow-up questions and I can't even ask.

Hank: I know you can't ask any of them.

(Vic sighs.)
