you’re lucky you didn’t get the ear vacuum.
Hank,
Thank you for this public health vlog. I have been worried about my hearing loss and attributed it to old age. Ear irrigation is on the top of my “Questions for Dr. Andy At the Annual Checkup List” (aka the Hypochondria Hymnal).
That, and Restless Leg Syndrome.
Your I-Brother,
Tommy
PS Only You and John may call me Tommy, and maybe Sarah and Katherine.
That was one large blob of wax. Jesus. I love that you got someone to video it though.
Ahh, Blossom. I miss that show. It reminds me of being a kid. Which makes sense, since according to IMDB, it came out in 1991. I was five. Wow. That makes me feel really…small. Eek!
Well, that was random. And, amusingly disturbing. Hmmm.
Mmm….ear wax.
Are you sure that wasn’t, like, part of your brain or something? That was HUGE!!!!! Blech! Now, why on earth does one go about getting the earwax sucked our of his ears? Too goo for Q-Tips Mr. Hank?
I told you to close your eyes!
And…Q-Tips apparently, were part of the problem. The ear canal is quite long, longer than a qtip ever goes (or should go) and the qtips were just compatcing the wax and pushing it further into the ear.
It all started after I flew on a plane with a cold. Colds make you waxier…apparently. Ugh…that was pretty gross huh…
I’ve heard that mineral water is a good way to clean out earwax without using q-tips. Can’t say that I’ve tried it, yet.
Oh, I wasn’t grossed out- I want to be a doctor, I was like COOL! But…it was a funny color.
And thanks for going into detail with your odd health situations. This was almost as cool as when my friend Mikey video taped his eye surgery!
I, too, have experienced the ear irrigation…multiple times. Now whenever I go in for anything, I insist that they pre-emptively clean out my ears.
And yes, q-tips should never enter your ear. They belong on the outside.
Oh my god. ick.
That was disgusting. Maybe I should go get my ears irrigated now.
Furthermore, i am not sure about this challenge. I like it, but it may not be adequately challenging. If any b2 viewers offer up a better one between now and midnight, I’ll do it instead.
i think you might be underestimating the power of real live horseradishes. they’ve got some kick to ‘em.
heh
I still say that both you guys create your own Nerd Fighter (being the Nerd the fights the Popular People), and tell us about one of their adventures.
They can be, like, the mascots of Brotherhood 2.0.
I agree that more should be done with the Nerd Fighters theme, eventually. Creating nerd characters, costumes, comic books, artwork, stories, whatever.
Nerd Fighters haiku?
Maybe that could be a project for viewers, too…
I gave this a lot of thought. I think a fun challenge would be for John to wear the hat (because that’s just something I think we all want to see) and do a very dramatic and animated (think really bad Shakespearean actor; lots of arm flailing) reading from one of his own books in a voice and accent as close to “Susie’s” as possible. Horseradish optional. Lemon juice would add difficulty points.
Agreed.
Oooo, I actually like this one alot.
I second and third and fourth this challenge!
Hank.. you’ve made me a scarred being.
but yay for challenges!
I like that one too!
Considering that the last two lines of Blossom’s theme song have the wonderful Mang-lish (mangled English) word “opinionation,,” perhaps the challenge at hand is for John to get it into his next novel, in a graceful and unobtrusive way….
That was the grossest and most awesome thing I have ever seen! So gross! So awesome!
Ugh! I’m going to vlogmit!
Hank gets extra credit for supremely subtle reverse psychology. Even though the video was peppered with warnings, each reiteration made me think, “How bad could it BE?”
I hung in til the bitter end.*
It was bad. Urp.
(*A little pun for anyone who’s ever accidentally or on purpose tasted ear wax or an amazingly authentic Harry Potter earwax jellybean.)
PS: this just might give ebaum’s world’s “World’s biggest zit” video a run for its money. Almost. Drop the mouse! Walk away from the search engine! You have been warned!
The ear wax, sardine, and vomit flavored Bertie Bot’s are the worst …
I think, however, a good question is: how do you know the earwax flavoring is authentic?
Because my fiancee is a really great guy, he let me feed him Bertie Bott jelly beans of my choice. He handled everything I could toss at him, right up until the rotten egg. Seriously, his eyes watered and he gagged for twenty minutes. It was really sad. Little funny. But he’s the only person I’ve ever seen who could force themselves to swallow one.
OH! You guys are talking about Bertie Bots! i love you alll
Erm, Good question about the ear wax flavoring. Do they have taste tasters? I mean, how wierd would that be?
“Hm….this needs to be a little more vomitty…”
I think John should dress up as a nerd fighter, go to the streets and try to get innocent people to eat horseradish.
Oh my god. Imagine John doing that … lol.
John, do you have the means to create a Nerd Fighter’s costume?
I mean, I’m sure I could dig something out. but I don’t really have the courage to confront strangers with horseradish at the moment. (Also, I have to do the vlog really early in the morning tomorrow.)
Well, maybe not for tomorrow’s vlog then (and probably not involving horseradish or strangers, like, ever)…
… but it’d be great if you could do something more with the NerdFighters stuff!
Hank,
Thanks for the heads up! I just had dinner when I saw the video. Glad I listened.
This will clearly cement me as a character in Nerd Fighters, but doesn’t “penultimate” imply that there’s something grosser to come? And if there is… how can you hold out like that?!
Ok, I’m gonna go watch “My Super Sweet 16″ and eat transfats now. Please continue to ignore me.
Ugh…you’re totally right…
I hate vlogs because you can’t go back and fix your grammatical mistakes…
So you really couldn’t hear us when you were visiting. I’m so glad you got that taken care of! Pretty interesting vlog material. Another cute haircut, too. Oh, and the class! Brilliant, of course.
Apparently some people have found the class quite creepy. I think they’re all quite endearing in their own special ways. Billy’s my favorite…of course.
And no, I couldn’t hear you, I wasn’t just making that up
But I could hear the DDR machine!
well DDR you don’t hear… you feel it with your body.
By the way, you’re doctor is hilarious!
“Look at the birth!” Hahahaha! “IT’S HUGE!”
Your doctor seems like a pretty nifty guy.
Then the other guy sounds like he’s mocking you, “A documentry of his daily life.”
When you say ‘your doctor’ you, of course, mean ‘the guy who was in the walk-in clinic that day.’ I’d never met him before in my life. Also, I don’t think I’ve had my own doctor since my pediatrician.
And the ‘documentary of his daily life’ was basically what I told them to convince them to let me record the ‘procedure.’
This one time, at band camp? — oh. No, not at band camp. At the doctor’s office? I had a huge wad of earwax like that irrigated out of my ear too. While somewhat gnarly and gross, it was strangely satisfying.
Love your doc for hollering “IT’S HUGE!” while making faces straight into the camera.
And whatever happened to the project where you both intersperse happy dance footage in various locales? I’ve been waiting and waiting. And tonight’s episode of How I Met Your Mother (the kids were watching) featured the Proclaimers singing 500 Miles (over and over), and I’d still like to see that as well. Particularly since you can both sing, as demonstrated by “Will You Miss Me When I’m Gone From Your Pants” and the Nerd Fighters’ theme song.
Yeah i couldn’t believe HIMYM (my favorite TV show) stole our song!
The happy dance footage may take longer to acquire the originally imagined.
Ew, man. That’s.. ew. But I can definitely see how it would have felt satisfying to get that out. How much could you not hear? (Excuse the horrible grammar of that sentence.)
How much could I not hear… hmmm. Well, when I plugged my right ear with my finger, it sounded pretty much the same as my left ear without anything in it (except the wax.) So, yeah, I was pretty deaf in that ear. I actually had to say to people “I’m sorry, I don’t hear so well” so they could speak up.
It was a glimpse of my future as an old person.
I once had a chunk of earwax like that in each ear. I decided it was a problem when I went to my Phonology class and saw the profs lips move but couldn’t hear what sound he was producing. It is weird, after a few days like that, to suddenly be able to hear again.
This whole thing makes me regret that I didn’t record giving birth after all. Just kidding ;o)
What about if dressed up in a Nerd Fighters costume and sung the the Nerd Fighters theme song? You could even go out in public if you were up for some humiliation and strange looks.
John in a Blossom hat could decide the “are NYC YA authors the hottest around?” debate. Why *do* books have author photos? I’ve been reading lots of scholarly works about electricity lately and many of those authors are not super attractive–not that that is relevant to how good the book is, but you wonder why their editors let them/made them have photos. What was the first book to have an author photo/portrait? Are female YA authors more likely to have author photos than male YA authors?
I have recently stumbled across this wonderful form of entertainment. As I watched previous episodes, I noted a few references to WW and point counting. I just wanted to make sure that the horse radish would be counted toward the daily points target.
If you ate a horseradish flavored Bertie Bott’s Bean, that would only be 1/5 of a point…
I did the math for you to avoid confusion
Oh, I’ll count my horseradish all right!
Horseradish itself is fairly low-impact. And the Horseradish Council has the most amazing mascot. I almost don’t want to spoil it for you.
who knew horseradish needed a council. especially one with a mascot. and it’s kinda creepy.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHH
Hank, OUCH! I hope you are okay.
Have you read PARTS by Tedd Arnold? Somehow, I think you’ll like it, as well as the other books that follow it.
I adored the TV show Blossom.
And in my opinionation
The sun is gonna surely shine
John, if you need the tune, click here
By the way, Jenna Von Oy is now pursuing a singing career. She is a very sweet lady.
man, i had that done to me when i was like 16-19 cause i have a bad habit of sticking my finger in my ear. i had HUGE chunks… and it was painful cause the doctor didnt care about me. they use to use like this medieval tweezer things and just dry grab the ear wax chunks. at least in the dentist, you can like try to bite your teeth down when the pain comes in some weak manner to stop the pain from the drill, but you can’t really close your ear to stop th epain in the ear.
but yea, um… wipe some apple vinegar and horseradish in your nose or below your nose and then sing blossom them song? i’m no good at challenging…
Ha, when I saw this I totally thought of Danny because he told me about his earwax years ago…
yea. and now that i recall, they never used the syringe with the soft needle tip. they used like a water pike thing where it was this machine that spit water rhythmically. and so that wasn’t cool.
I so want to have that done to my ears!
that was pretty cool, really. i had a feeling of sympathetic release as that gob came out of your ear. the internet is a powerful thing.
have you heard of ear candles? I suppose they are actually an unhealthy alternative, but they are hollow wax candles you put in your ear and then the heat suctions the wax up…what’s cool is you can hear the flame and the wax all a-gurgling.
Maybe, Hank, that’s what you should do for your other ear. Then you could do a comparison. It might be even grosser though. Or maybe John should do that and you could eat a teaspoon of fresh grated wasabi? Or maybe not.
You can get the candles though at health food stores. I can’t verify this site, but http://www.ear-candles.net has some more info and a pic.
Never use ear candles. They’re a scam. Years ago, I used them a few times and there would be alot of gunk inside the candle when I was done, which is supposedly earwax and candida yeast. Then one day the little scientist inside me decided to set one against the palm of my hand instead of my ear just to see what would happen, and the same gunk was inside the candle. Plus you can actually burn the delicate insides of your ear with the heat from the candle. Not good.
hi Hank,
Just letting you know that I’m really enjoying the Brotherhood project. Also, I went to the doctor today and had my head lightened as well–I had BOTH ears cleaned out.

I have to say, honestly, this was the first b20 video that I had seen on my own (someone told me to watch How Nerdfighters drop insults) and now that I’m watching it again, it cheers me a little.
Watching it fall out of the ear made me strangely hungry
I am severely upset after seeing this video. When I was in college I played basketball and my coach got really irritated with me because I always said “WHAT?” I didn’t hear anything anyone said to me. She made me go to the doctor, and he said I had a ball of earwax the size of a large pea directly on my eardrum.
Did they put liquid in my ear causing a fun ball to fall out of my ear in a pleasant manner? NO THEY DID NOT. They used a vacuum to suck the ball of wax out of my ear. It was without a doubt the most painful thing I have ever undergone. 2 knee surgeries, one of which was an acl surgery, and a horrific experience getting all my wisdom teeth removed at once, and this was still the most painful experience of my life. Hank, consider yourself lucky that you have a cool doctor who is not Freddie Krueger.
