"I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once" is also MY favorite John Green line. We have so much in common.

Hey John. Hope you get well soon! I just wanted to let you and Hank know that if you are ever sick and feel like you have to make content for us but are actually feeling too crappy and tired please know it's ok not to. We love the stuff you make and you are always a pleasure to listen to but we also care about you and want you to know that you are entitled to sick days and your audience are not entitled to deprive you of them. Warmest regards to our brothers Green from the UK xx

"The problem is that adult me is pretty cowardly" is the most relatable phrase I've heard today.

This feels like old John and hank videos and that's what's so cool about it. Sometimes videos like these will work, not always.

This has the same feel as the "John sitting silently on a train, whilst narrating life's misgivings" vibe. But with cars trying to be planes, trains, and automobiles

I've never felt more related to John Green ever in my life than today. Someone captured my covid experience from July perfectly and it is John Green.

As I work on budgetting tasks for work, my day is brightened by John with his Covid commentary. Highlight reel includes proper issue, smartest car in the squid, and not liking spinning rides. As a person with vertigo, I concur with John’s assessment of hating spinning things/rides.

"HANK I'LL SEE YOU ON FRIDAY" There it is that's the closure I needed.

I don't have Covid but I have been pretty unwell for a while and this is exactly the kind of loopy energy I need lol. Hope you get through this illness with the least amount of possible suffering

Favourites include: - "If it drives it thrives" (and its many variations) - "That is a forever mistake" - "Now _there_ is the smartest car in the squid!" Hope you feel better soon John.

This has FINALLY given me the perfect Vlogbrothers "mood booster" video pairing: "Perspective" and this video. It's like a pickleback.

This is the MOST underrated vlogbrothers video i haven’t laughed this hard and John’s ramblings in awhile

John, I cannot overstate how much I love "cars vs" content. i love every 21 year old telling me how they'd survive a 300 ft plunge into a quarry lake i love it all so much. Humans love to see a situation and think "what if I was in that situation??" and it's one of my favorite things.

Please don't delete this, watching this just refilled my serotonin meter

Oh no! I think John literally took a covid test on the DH&J livestream and I was *so* releived he didn't have it and now he does! Be careful & isolate if you feel sick, everyone. Good luck recovering, John!

I fall in love like you fall asleep. Legs twitching, incoherent attempts at expressing thoughts, hours staring at the ceiling waiting for anxiety to subside.

John these videos have been the highlight of my week. I hope you feel better soon, but I will miss these.

I'm quite certain that I wasn't this entertaining when I had COVID... Feel better, John, and please never delete this delightful something!

John, some self care reminders for you: stay hydrated, be kind to yourself, offer yourself comfort, take your meds, nourish your body, and with all the best wishes: get well soon. May your recovery be swift, easy, and full.

normally I watch a vlogbrothers video once, think "that was nice," and then go about my day. Ive watched this one multiple times and keep coming back to it.

this is one of my favourite video formats of yours pls keep doing it, hope you feel better soon tho

I have been watching this saga with great joy, thank you for it, and your squid of cars

I watched this whole video just laughing like an idiot and like "how can he be so nonchalant about this???" Then you laughed at the end, which turned into coughs, and I was like "oh, right, yeah. Covid". Feel better soon John!

John reviewing weird vehicle physics simulators is a niche genre of chaos that I absolutely needed. Love this nonsense. Feel better soon John, we need the best wordsmith in the Green squid-squad.

This feels like a throw back to old vlogbrothers videos and i am 100% here for it. Also hope you get better soon!

John, I’m so sorry that your sick but I’m also grateful for this video. It gave me a kind of gladsome peace.

Variety really is the spice of life. I think vlogbrothers has really helped shape my idea of empathy over the last decade but also this might be one of my favourite videos on the channel

As important as last week's video was, I think that this video content, even though you have covid and that sucks, is just the balance we need

“That is what we call a ‘proper problem’” is a great heckin’ line

Thank you for the video John! It's good to know I'm not the only one who gets easily led down strange vibe youtube rabbit holes. I'm sorry you're ill, and I hope you get better soon. We're rooting for you!

Currently recovering from a personal health thing going on and this video really cheered me up. Thank you John, get well soon.

This entire video, and especially the ending where a simple laugh turns into a cough, has perfectly described my life over the past three weeks dealing with COVID and the lingering after effects. Hope you feel better soon, John!

I love that this community goes from one extreme to the other, and I love every single bit of it. Hank's Friday video was amazing. And John, this video was equally as amazing. I hope you feel better soon, and thank you for 4 minutes of joy today.

"The smartest car in the squid" has now entered Nerdfighter lexicon. ngl, I didn't even question it when that sentence came up. Something about John's exhausted, gravelly covid voice made me feel like anything he said was going to make an equal amount of sense, with that sense level being somewhat below normal.

Hey John. I always love when you upload a video and this one was no exception. And of course you do what you feel best and want to do but please remember that it's okay to skip a video if you're sick.

I really enjoyed this. Felt very old school brotherhood 2.0 in the best way. Hope you feel better soon John.
