Henry's Origin Story: The Miracle of Swindon Town #31

[readfreak2012]

And the adorableness of "okay" was born, to be expressed later by Hazel and Augustus.

[BoxOfSquirrels]

Voluptuous shot too early. anyone else?

[benjibunny14]

Back in the days when swindon wins :( but liverpool just won the carling cup!!! YNWA

[danmanZ14]

Has anyone else noticed that bjg has a hitler moustache?

[Petroliten1]

@danmanZ14 I think you have forgotten what Hitler's moustasche looked like. It didn't look like Bald John Green's moustasche.

[heytherelottie]

john you are just amazing to listen to. especially the way you talk about sarah.

[MegaBookWormGirl]

So heartwarming. I can't even express.

[SatellitePlane]

you seem to be a really realy awesome dad

[ultraphancy]

Hardest core?

3:56

[TheKolumbus93]

@ultraphancy Wel, he does write books for a living...

[ultraphancy]

@TheKolumbus93 Quite Hardcore... Have you read them?

[jellybelly98rox]

My dog got groomed today and there's a trader joe's in the same plaza...

[Grainbow95]

What he said: "We dropped Willie off at the groomer because we wanted him to get-- BALD JOHN GREEN..."

What I heard: "We dropped Willie off at the groomer because we wanted him to get BALD."

[Ocklotian]

But at the time--beautiful lumps--BALD JOHN GREEN HE'S A FINISHER!

I don't think anyone else could say that other than you, John.

[leighia1]

i love listening to your stories. :) they're so great.

[CurrentlyM]

I only see video games trailers on hankgames ads now... makes me realize the brilliance of marketers.

[HomicidalZipper]

"...because we wanted to get BALD JOHN GREEN!!!!"

[Fallen13Angel7]

Since when did Montana become a part of the West coast?

[motleyslushey]

@Fallen13Angel7 I wish. That would make my commute from college to home a lot quicker. 

[unseldomdrastic]

This is the best "miracle of birth" story I've ever heard!

[Failepic30]

@maximumride427 somebody stole my sweet roll. :[

[Javjean]

Mr. Voluptuous was my nickname in college.

[Graycloak]

Trader Joe's is delicious.



[MrsLoveChuckle]

Number of dislikes = number of funny RWJ jokes.

[Javjean]

@MrsLoveChuckle

: )

[sethwerewolf]

We knew that Sarah was pregnant, it wasn't like those TLC shows, and it's like:

"Where'd my baby come from?"

[JustaSilentWarrior]

Sarah I think John loves you

[MegaBookWormGirl]

@JustaSilentWarrior From all the break up stories, one gets the feeling that he's just a very caring, affectionate person that falls hard fast. One can barely comprehend how much he much love her. I think it's the sweetest thing... ever.

[rethinkOURreality]

Henry says "o-kay" like my foreign physics professor, lol.

[djpj22]

John Green's summary of Sarah giving birth = "She pushed, baby came out"

I hope you showed more compassion than that to our poor Yeti ;)

Keep going with HankGames!! I love to hear your stories, they're insightful and easily relate-able =)

[Lol90796]

If you narrated football in the uk, like that, I would totally watch it

[monkey49278]

I had long black hair when I was born and my skin was off colored from jaundice. My mom was holding me in her arms and was like, "Who is this italian baby?"

lol.

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

I love how vlogbrothers east and west coast ofices are inland.

[soccerqween]

I love how you talk about the room service hotels! I've spend nights in the hospital a few times and they give me that service too, it's awesome! Not for having a baby though...

[ddc32997]

John, when you said "After Henry was born..." and you stopped for a second, I thought you were going to say that you passed out XD

[fliptotheflop101]

Just a Tip: you need to make sure that you rotate your players around with the other members of the team. so your starters can have a rest and play better in matches that are really important.

[ObviouslyNik]

So does John play AND narrate, or play first and then narrate?

[HonestFugitive]

Aww Henry had a little puff of his own C:

[Ikaruszaki]

When you get a card, your voice sounds JUST like Hank's... Like you're brothers or something :D

[sunshinensmileys]

@Ikaruszaki agreed! 

[dalekmum]

no thats all right

MANIC LAUGHTER

[Medafets]

I've heard that the male equivalent of giving birth is pissing a lemon. Ouch.

[Combustionsquirrel]

at 9:11 in the far right of the screen a black guy appears, then turns white. if you look closely you'll also see that his jersey changes

this also happened in the last episode (except he was white then turned into a back guy), are the players in this game magicians!?

[JustaSilentWarrior]

@Combustionsquirrel there was two people-ish. There was a white in guy in a red jersey and a black guy in a blue one, then red runs off screen, and blue ends up with white hands, which is weird

[ridleycat]

This was a great episode to listen to. I gave birth to twins (6 lbs 15 oz and 7 lbs 2 oz) three weeks ago, and they're beautiful little lumps. You're right - it was such a surreal experience. Setting eyes on them for the first time, seeing these tiny creatures who are so much me (and mine) and yet so much themselves was the most amazing experience.

[spidermanandsnape]

I will cry when I am hungry, and other times, he would not cry

[NifNoufLogasse2]

You scared me FOR LIFE O.O

To explain myself : I'm a girl and I used to think I wanted to have babies (you know, the whole 'giving birth' thing)... I USED TO ! Now I'm probably gonna live a celibate life for fear to become pregnant... xD

Beautiful story ;) And sorry if I made any mistakes, English is not my first language !

[JazzyJJG]

I don't really like soccer, but these amazing stories make me love these videos!!!

[TheRavenClawGrrrl]

I'm from Ipswich :-)

[idobelieveinnargles]

You are so full of love for your wife. Listening to you talking about her makes me believe in the good in the world. :)

[JilleyWillyNilly]

"Turns out, it's pretty stressful to have a baby, not something you want to be watching a romantic comedy while you're doing..."

XD John

[AsianKatana]

There is NO WAY YOU WILL DISLIKE THIS VIDEO.

[Mooncalfproductions]

OMG it is actually raining in england right now! Oh, wait, yeah, that's just sort of a normall everyday state of weather....

[christybrinkly24]

Please make a video with Henry!! Maybe not on this channel, but on your vlogbrother's channel! :D

[Javjean]

What kind of monster would dislike this video? Nobody, that's who! I mean, this is the internet where anything is possible and it will happen but that's probably an aryan or something.

[TheNo1pencil]

@Javjean

someone could take that offencively

[Javjean]

@TheNo1pencil

You mean white power supporters? Oh no, how will I live my life in good conscience now? Just saying, no dislikes yet.

[TheNo1pencil]

@Javjean

you cant see the dislikes.

[Javjean]

@TheNo1pencil

Really? Why's that?

[TheNo1pencil]

@Javjean

youtube dost put them up anymore. but if a comment gets an overwelming amount of negative votes the comment gets hidden and it says "this comment has recived to many negative votes" or something of the like.

[Zairabear]

Anyone else listen to this like a Podcast? :)

[ninjapirate31]

was that chuck norris

[aeriestarhem21]

Voluptuous Pericard!!!

[theanonymousme89]

I'm a student midwife in the UK John, so I really enjoyed this story - I got to use it as an educational scenario!

[Mis4Mika]

But, big, like, beautiful lumps.

[Failepic30]

@anotherlonelyheart1

Haha~ Together alone, fantastic. ( 'Not the your friend being away'' thing, more of the 'it's not just m'e thing :D )

[BentheBassPhish]

Every time John says Voluptuous Pericard I erupt in a loud guffaw. EVERY TIME!

[FlargTheKitty]

@BentheBassPhish to me, you just got points for using the word guffaw in a regular sentence. GUFFAWING FTW!!

[BentheBassPhish]

@FlargTheKitty It's a great and extremely descriptive word that isn't used half as much as it ought to be. :)

[OhyaaAlix]

having a baby is HARD CORE

[KungfuCow5]

@OhyaaAlix Depends how you do it. Get you mind out of the gutter! Oooooh Matron!

[OhyaaAlix]

@KungfuCow5 lol i was actually just quoting john, so you should get your mind out of the gutter (= lol

[sydneyca]

Trader Joe's in Indiana? Cool! I can move there now...Not Really. lol

[NOFXRules15]

"We dropped Willie off at the groomer. because we decided that we wanted to get him BLAD JOHN GREEN!" Nice word play

[Failepic30]

Thanks to you, John, I've started tossing around the phrase: "He's a finisher".

NOBODY GETS MY JOKES.

Sincerely, a nerdfighter who has no nerdfighter friends :D

[anotherlonelyheart1]

@Failepic30 don't feel left out my one nerdfighter friend is away so i don't technically have nerdfighter friends

[Haro615]

@Failepic30 If you live in Australia we can be Nerdfighter friends.

[kana1215]

@Failepic30 I have that problem too... you're not alone

[maximumride427]

@Failepic30 I took an arrow to the knee.

[ziggypwner]

@Failepic30 Pull out the pizza john shirt

[kaikiyukionna27]

@Failepic30 Feel your pain. I yelled that today while watching Jumanji every time Peter did something-he really was a finisher. Everyone was quite perplexed.

[AloeWildii]

Missoula, Montana... Indianapolis, Indiana.... Do the Green brothers just have a thing for alliterative city names?

[shaeshae115]

Apparently it is very common for the mom to have to remind the doctor and the dad that they are giving birth. The same thing happened to my mom.

[thinkpinklivelime]

@hankgames Sarah and Henry are very lucky people to have you in their lives John. Hearing you talk about them with such love and admiration makes me green with envy. :)

Also, celibacy for the sake of avoiding pregnancy sounds like a brilliant plan to me. I'm a terrible terrible woman XD

[virginia0bluebell]

giving birth = BADASS

[nomielpenguino]

Henry had his dad's Puff when he was born! :)

[YlimeNospmoht]

Indiana is considered the East Coast?

[JosephRoy15]

i think that voluptuis pericard should have a nickname about his speed because hasnt anyone else noticed HE IS MAD FAST i think the fastest of the swoodilypoopers

[DorothyJGray]

Why is there an anti-Obama ad before this video?

...awkward...

[AmethystEyes]

@DorothyJGray I know right? And that has happened more than once?

[DorothyJGray]

@AmethystEyes Yeah it definitely has. Oh youtube, what are you doing?

[CholeKolee]

"We dropped Willy of at the groomers because we wanted... BALD JOHN GREEN: HE'S A FINISHER."

Football players don't replace pets, John. :/

[bombmistro]

It seems like so long ago that Henry was born and now he's all like wow and talking and stuff :)

[twerdyyy]

guys always say they would NEVER be able to do the birthing process if they were a girl, but i feel like thats not true. when youre a girl, youre raised to KNOW that you might have a baby some day, and that it will suck. so you grow up preparing and knowing in the back of you mind that it will (might) happen. you spend your whole life knowing. guys dont do that, so they say they would never be able to.

[contentwatcher101]

I think that having a baby sound horrifying and I am a girl.

[readingwench]

My mom walked in while I was watching and said she was jealous XD I provided one of those "Giving birth horror stories" :/

[karlsiemsen]

We tried to watch movies too. I feel like the birthing class teacher suggested it, but maybe not. Anyway, terrible idea. We were in the hospital forever because my wife's water broke and she had to be induced and it was a pretty miserable labor. We tried to watch Young Frankenstein, but it just didn't work. To this day she can't watch Young Frankenstein. But you got a suite? Awesome. I got a chair that folded out.

[holyshitaflyingbanna]

hardest-core... and this is a novelist talking...

[flamingdragon490]

The pain of giving birth is equal to fracturing 20 bones. A kick to the crotch is equal to 160 births and fracturing over 9000 bones.

[TheBrownHairedChick]

:)

[heranje]

Sircular Morrison?

[aslanenlisted]

I live in Ipswich, England and I have never been so happy to see the boys in blue lose.

[trollzorz94]

I actually DO plan to live a celibate life because I'm too afraid to give birth. But unlike John, I do have the organs to do some baby-making. :(

[MrFredthelemur]

This video makes me sad that gay marriage is not legal where I live. I hope my husband and I have a relationship like John and Sarah.

[SnuggieFullOfEvil]

"And then of course when people are born they're just like, lumps. Um, but at the time, you know, beautiful lumps." - John Green

[potterluva9393]

John (unofficially) announced there will be about 100 of these videos, and they eventually will lead to some kind of charity thing. I'm stoked!

[greghouse1234]

you seem truly happy and i am glad to see that there are no petty dislikes. Udabest cept xCal

[ACEBennet]

Don't sell yourself short John! While I thinks your admiration of Sarah is applaudable, and kinda cute, I think that being prepared to give birth is more of a conditioned thing. From the time we learn what reproduction is we, as women, know that this thing is going to happen to us. And yeah it's gonna suck and be painful but in the end it's totally worth iy.

[hopelesslyinsane]

My sister just found out she was pregnant again and hearing this just makes me so excited for May/June

[rockinrolldog]

Are you going to have more kids?

[OstracizedEmu]

Is it weird that I can't wait to give birth...? xD

[thatonekid2013]

11:13 "ckscskcscore infront of alice and the kids today"

that was a fantastic sound

[Kaemajii]

I wouldn't say you're a frightened anxious person for being scared, the toughest blokes will get scared when someone they love is undoubtably in a lot of pain and in a situation that despite modern medecine and what not, could kill them.

Being scared is probably the right reaction on all accounts, if you weren't scared what kind of a person would you be?

[thremtopod315]

trader Joe's is not just A grocery store. It's THE BEST grocery store.

[GrittyMcCheese]

when he said pericard got the goal in front of his kid it reminded me of billy sharp... poor billy sharp scoring for his son. :(

[93Wolfbrother]

"And that's not to take anything away from people who are... oh voluptuous" 2:43 I lol'ed

[lammas]

aaand now i'm afraid to have children. i'm not sure i'm bad ass enough.

[loudgrape28]

Only John Green would describe childbirth as bad ass!

[michigansflowergirl]

WHY IS HE GOING BACKWARDS!?!?! Oh wait....it's the second half...

[bluenelephant]

:) Henry is lucky to have such awesome parents

[PurpleWillowsTrees]

I have a streak going that every time I watch this I'll eat honey and milk and yell loudly when stuff happens. Oh so nerdy ;3

[PossumCuber]

Once you're done signing all your books, you should start playing Terraria. It's another perfect game for long stories.

[SpottedLabCoat]

Henrey says "ok!", he says that all the time now and then he'll....Don't give me a red card!! - And then he'll what? Then he'll what?!

[ollz272]

I LIVE IN IPSWICH

[GONEmypurpleflapjack]

@ollz272 lobnot

[MustardCL]

It was pretty interesting to have some an adult that isn't your parent to explain the origins of a child. Seemed like I got more out of it because you don't feel like you have to tell us stuff that a parent feels like they have to say.

[xpericfilms]

lol 8:50 the person who walked in lost that goal for you xD.

[xpericfilms]

you should hive bald john green his blue boots that he achieved.

[TTC8111]

It's amazing. I could never do it. LOL

[fabiobean11]

i have to say, i have never heard of giving birth described as "badass".

[ohiohai]

I just got done reading Looking For Alaska for the first time. I read it all in one sitting :D I liked it a lot. Thank yoooooooooooooou!

[nukeakitten]

i didn't cry when i was born, neither did Chuck Norris.

[TheJackApple]

To be honest I put these on and shrink the window so its like a podcast, I LOVE IT

Your helping me get through boring college work :)

[FelineFearless]

"Henry's Origin: The Miracle of S--"

WOOOAAAAAH THERE. O.o

"--windon Town #31"

Phew.

[MadOldPete]

@FelineFearless wow, a rare breed of prudish YouTuber! quick, pick your monocle up, before it gets all dusty.

[MadOldPete]

@FelineFearless oh dear, you probably don't even understand the irony, do you? phew! that was a close one, but you've successfully defended yourself from a legitimate accusation that you're a monocle-wearing prude! good one, sport.

[EWBSarahEWB]

1:28 made it sound like you wanted Willy groomed in the style of Bald John Green...which I assume would mean giving him a moustache

[PandaCatHat]

Your wife, the Yeti, Sarah...Tell her I think she's incredible and I admire her strength :) ♥ (Oh and you have the greatest voice...It's so soothing. I wish you would do an audio-book tape thing for your books so I can have you reading them in my head while I read them) :)

[TintedGreenHeart]

what kind of amazing place did you have the baby at? that isnt the story i usually hear

[bassgirl34]

I would love to read a book about the Swoodilypoopers. John, you need to write one.

[Enocent1]

YAY! I was wondering when you were going to talk about this. X3

[foreverwithoutyou]

Watching this and eating halloween candy... makes me want to go run around.

[ScrodngrsCat]

You really do speak like an author when you describe things, John. I love it :)

[hockeymurph34]

I don't know whether to comment about the game or Henry's birth, so yeah ...

[g00hz]

@hockeymurph34 Oh no, THE GAME ! :(

[thirteenluckyforsome]

Bald John Green's moustache looks like that of Thomas Hardy...

[XandriaBraff]

heyy , my fifa team is ipswitch !

[DislecsikGlych]

has John ever actually been to Swindon or Ipswich?

[satzumaz]

wait.... WHEN DID YOU PICK UP WILLY FROM THE GROOMERS?

[SamGlover25]

373 likes, 0 dislikes. BEST LIKE TO DISLIKE RATIO EVER.

[featheredskyblue]

Your mention of room service made me giggle. My mother has told stories about my birth, which always feature the story about how they informed her that, having just given birth to a baby, she would not want lunch. Which always transitions into mother as an angry, overdue pregnant lady two years later informing the doctors that they WOULD save lunch after my brother was born.

[xboazx]

Thanks for the story John, and thanks for making me smile

[LoroHunt]

i would like to say that it doesn't usually rain this much in england

[Clawaccio]

'We dropped Willy off at the Groomer because we wanted to- BALD JOHN GREEN' You shaved WILLY?!

[AmethystEyes]

"Origin story", sounds like he's a superhero... SUPER HENRY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I knew it. Everybody remember that "Adorable Baby is Adorable" video?

[justmerozzie]

this is so much better than doing NaNoWriMo.

[TheAdaization]

@justmerozzie i couldn't agree more.

[Dantheman1695]

best one yet i like it when you talk about henry

[KirbyCrossing]

lol

[MewSumomo1]

Silly Morrison! :[

[o0SomeRandomGirl0o]

Wow, I can only hope that when I get married, my spouse appreciates me as much as John does Sarah.

[jonnypk1]

just bought my season ticket to swoodilypoopers :D

[eldersvelde]

East coast hu...ummm

Is it sad that I care more about these fictional characters than I do about any of the Kardashians? Let me think about i- NO.ï»
