I know something John and Hank don't know. *audience laughter*
They think they're done. But I'm gonna have to ask them to come back out if that's okay.
John: You did mention that.
Maureen: I kind of hinted at it.
I was asked to bring you guys back out.
So you ready? Are you nervous?
Hank: Wait? Is something going to happen?
John: What's that British word?
Hank: I have to pee really bad? John: Scared as a rabbit? Sha-boop?
Hank: Was it British?
Hank: Shell....shellhouse or something.
*audience yells right answer*
Hank: Are you scared as a rabbit, John? John: No one knows how to pronounce it for sure, guys.
Maureen: What word are you looking for? John: Let's move on. Hank: Don't worry about that.
Maureen: So, word went out to Nerdfighters sometime ago.
Nerdfighters were asked to contribute to a little tribute.
Hank: You're gonna make me cry. *audience laughter*
Maureen: That's why they gave me this job. *audience laughter*
Maureen: And right now we are going to see a video that is compilation of several Nerdfighters that have sent in their work to kinda to say to John and Hank what all of this has meant to them.
And they're gonna cry. And that's mostly what we're gonna be watching. *audience applause and laughter*
Good morning Hank and John, it's Saturday.
To me, Nerdfighteria is the crusade against pennies, nickels, and all low denominational coins that make no economic sense.

Magical little pocket of the world where anyone and everyone can say stuff and make stuff and buy stuff that just shows how much they love stuff!

Nerdfighteria, much like Hogwarts, is always there to welcome me home.
Nerdfighteria means family.
When John and Hank first started Brotherhood 2.0, it was communication between brothers.
And the first people who began interacting with them were considered secret brothers and sisters.
And I feel like that's been the basic tent of the community ever since. We're there for each other. Like family.

*click click zooommm*
*tremendous applause*
John: Thank you so much.
*audience cheering increases steadily*
John: Thank you.
Hank: So uh....
*standing ovation audience cheering continues*
Hank: I mean, I know you're all looking at us. Like it's about us, but it's all about you. You should face each other, you should talk to each other
because in a world where it can be really hard to find acceptance like, why, how, is that the case?
To find people who will accept you for who you are because you were made that way. Because you like being that way.
We're not accepting you. You are finding that in each other. And I am honored and touched that you are here.
That you came out and also that the vast majority of people who couldn't be here, of course, are part of this together. And I am...yeah...
I feel lucky every friggin second. And that's really because of you. John: Yeah, thank you so much.
And also, Nicole, who edited that video because she doesn't have stuff to do. Gees, Nicole.
John: Thanks, Nicole.
John: Thank you all so much and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Hank and I both feel like we benefit so much in ways y'all don't even see from this community.
It lifts us up in our personal lives and in our family lives. It's such a gift to us. And sometimes we feel
like we benefit from it so much. We just hope that you also benefit from it as much as we do.
And I hope that this weekend has been as fun and meaningful for you as it has been for us.
It's really refocused us, oriented us again toward the work that we love and the community we love.
And here's to ten more years of that. I hope you had an awesome weekend and DFTBA!
*audience cheering as loud as possible*
John: Thanks again!
