John so badly wanted to say "link in the dooblydoo" at 14:50
had to correct himself!!
I was waiting for him to say dooblydoo, you can tell from the slight hesitation that was where he was going.
+
Man I literally just posted this comment to see that you got there 3 hours earlier. Comment deleted
:(
I thought the same thing.
John Green: "I wont be uploading today" Objectivity" "Hold my Beer"
Literally spit out my tea. Bravo.
A famed modern author, upon seeing a wonderful classic text, "I have a sock company like that!" He did not forget to be awesome.
He is nothing but a shill for a company that donates all of its profits to charity
Brady: "Im working with professionals."
John: *almost says 'link is in the dooblydoo'*
"Woah" - John Green
"Mustache" - Pizza John
John: It's a subscription service. I have a sock company like that. XD
I love that pause near then end just before John says "description" because it's automatically "dooblydoo"
I haven't watched a vlog brothers video in nearly a decade... woah... but I was definitely expecting him to say dooblydoo because that's what it's called. Happy to see he at least stumbled on the word 😅
you can actually see John shift from third into reverse as he starts to say “link in the dublidoo”
This video has everything. Brady's infectious excitement, John's sense of wonder, Rupert's quiet passion. Acknowledgement by name of a woman's contribution to one of the featured works. My day has been made.

This is exactly the comment I wanted to write. Thank you.
and a promise of a Hank video to come!
It's like a rollercoaster but you never leave the start point really
You can tell John Green naturally has his "writer brain" on all the time because of how beautifully he summed up "That is what happens in the fullness of time" when Brady mentioned that people pointing at Isac Newton's name over time have started to rub out the name beneath it. I've seen Objectivity's original video with the Charter Book but this is the first time I've heard someone make a metaphor about some people's names becoming so famous that other people, while highly accomplished in their own right, get "rubbed out" over generations in favour of a few very big names.
Here i was expecting this episode to be about Tuberculosis
The argument could be made that John acknowledged Robert Hook as the reason he's obsessed with tuberculosis. He just didn't name the specific microorganism he's centered his obsession on 😉
Found this thanks to the We're Here newsletter and had a lovely time watching and learning
I saw john had been handling rare books in london and I hoped and prayed that it would be a Objectivity collab
Where did you see that? Did someone tweet about it or something?
@SageThyme23 - I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but could you tell me why you didn't write "an objectivity collab" instead of "a objectivity"? I've seen this a lot lately and wondered if it's being taught now.
Personally, I find it clunky - imagine saying it out loud "a objectivity" is very difficult to say imo.
@@honeychurchgipsy6 .... who cares? it's the internet. speak however you want to speak but don't harp on people in youtube comments of all places about grammar. if you're able to understand what they were saying then you don't need to point out issues
@@honeychurchgipsy6 he got the point across, and saying it out loud for me was not difficult. it's easier for me to say an FBI agent rather than a FBI agent, so it's probably different for where youre coming from
@@honeychurchgipsy6 Why would that mean it's being taught? 🤦
What a guest to have!
I can't believe they got a shareholder of Danaher for this video!
@@mk_rexx actual lol
What a lovely video, big thanks to John for stopping by and hats off for Brady for making it happen!
The orchid moment was hilarious
so orchid
This was a TREAT. Love John! Love Brady! Love Rupert! Love books!!
Ariel they all smelled so. good.
OMG hi Ariel. Freaking love Books Unbound.
@@rosianna omg rosianna i didn't even THINK about the smell!!!!!!!! I can only imagine 😭😍
Brady even actually put the link to Micrographia in the description!
But jokes aside, this was a wonderful episode. John being so awestruck really came across. I also was wishing for at least one work of fiction being among the books selected, so great choice for the last book. And the video _did_ have a good ending! :D
That small illustration of the librarians carrying the large orchid book is great 🙂 Thank you for the awesome video!
Those Green boys seem like great lads.
It's almost like they keep remembering to be awesome or something
John, we demand to see your Edmond Halley book in an upcoming video!
Wow! Haven't seen John Green and Brady Haran in the same video since the Veritasium BrainSTEM conference in 2012
What a privilege to watch. To see so many unique things and see John's reaction. I assume notable folk have been shown such things at the rs for hundreds of years. Only now can we join them.
What a guest to have on Objectivity! You can really see the wonderment splash off the screen. It's infectious in the best way!
Haven't watched yet, but I just wanted to say that I've been anxiously awaiting this episode since you teased it to us Patreons! YAY for a John Green/Brady Haran colab! You've had Hank & John... good luck getting Dave on to complete the set of brothers.
If you line up Adam Savage -> Brady -> John Green, it's like a real-world morphing effect.
Before we got to it, I thought to myself, "If I got the invite, the book I'd like to see is that 15th century almanac Brady looked at once." And that very book was the first one after the signatures! It has very early Arabic numerals and the 0 for zero.
As someone who lives in Malta, I was so excited when the Maltese printer was mentioned at 11:30! It's so fun to see our little islands popping up in places like this.
9:00 "in American- in yeah world science history probably" nice save
The crossover we've all been needing
10:04 that's such an adorable illustration. Such a wonderful book with gorgeous illustrations. It's amazing the colour is still vivid. Botanical art is always fascinating.
Wow, this is so cool!! Thanks for sharing this with John and with us!
Good to see John there, well done Brady!
Considering John uses books instead of weights in his workout routines (In that one video years ago, and in my headcannon ever since)
I'd trust his gut on that 17kg deadlift
Excellent guest. ❤ John and Hank. :)
This was just a treat of a video. Never get enough of people being in awe of people in the past.
Extraordinary and fascinating, thank you!
11:09 nice John!
That was actually quite lovely, thanks for sharing, so glad you all had a good time. Charles
Keeping these bits and bobs of soon to be ancient knowledge is so important. Humans write things down because we can't remember everything. Thank you to the Royal Society and Objectivity!
Brady, you never fail to amaze. Had I been there you would have been dealing with tears on the paper.
Absolutely wonderful. Also, seeing John outside of his own editing, I feel comforted by seeing that his mannerisms are similar to mine with OCD, but that they're really not that bad, despite what we think of ourselves in the moment!
You know, I have several orchids, and I actually don't think it's all that hard to keep them alive. I've kept five of them alive for a few years now. I did kill two by repotting them. I thought they would love having a bigger pot with some nice new orchid moss mix. They did not. So now I don't repot them. XD But otherwise, they've stuck with me. I do think sometimes people think they have killed their orchid just because it has stopped blooming, and if that is you, you should know that that is normal! As long as the leaves look healthy and green, it's still doing fine, just done blooming for the year. Keep on caring for it normally and it will almost certainly bloom again the next year. They're pretty fun little plants, I think.
(Also Augusta Withers is a delightful name.)
Im happy to see a big channel (objectivity) give a shoutout to a small content creator like John Green 💚
Fun! always up for more Hank and John!
I had the pleasure of meeting John when I shot an episode of the Gregory Brothers' series "Wikiwars", and he was so awesome. I was only around him for a short time, but seeing this video I am reminded of how down to earth he is, and I know first hand how sincere and awestruck he is being here. Because he sure wasn't awestruck by my dumb a**, haha! Imagining myself seeing the Principia in real life, through John's eyes, actually made me tear up a bit.
Rupert has such a soothing voice ❤️ and both John and Brady are utterly delightful
getting two surprise video from each of the green brothers on the same day kind of feels like winning the lottery
they endeavored so much to create those books and I'm so happy we still have them
Brady looking trim! Happy to see this team up :))
I've been waiting for this ever since John subtley hinted at it in the podcast recently
“Everything is interesting if you zoom in enough.”
6:45 "BUT, we have something even MORE priceless here" John, probably: "some infinities are bigger than others" 😁
Brady, you have outdid yourself...I met Green at a Borders conference after his first book was released and I have been Hooked ever since. To see you both together is a treat that is hard to beat!
This is amazing! Thanks for sharing.
On page 2 of the charter book are three inscriptions in what appears to be arab scripts. Are you able to do a video on who signed them and who they were ?
+
Hank Green also asked that question and Keith had the answer: The Moroccan Ambassador.
What video was that in ?@@MichaelSteeves
What a fascinating group of books. My love of books and my admiration of John makes this a wonderful post to see! Thanks. ❤
It's hilarious to me that they took out a book by Bertrand Russell, compared it with the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, and yet failed to mention that, together with Alfred North Whitehead, he wrote a book also named 'Principia Mathematica'.
Particularly good Objectivity episode!
This is awesome
Its also giving architecture digest
This is so cool oh my god. I love old things. Was not expecting to stumble upon a digital scan of a rare historical book today but I sure did!
So much of the world we're familiare with grew from the books on that table. And there was also one with a nice dust jacket. Thanks for the videos.
Fantastic as always, Brady
“I have a sock company like that”😂
Wonderful. Thank you.
Looking good Brady!
Great video (as always)
two giants of youtube, together at long last 💜
I am a strangely new listener to Hello Internet and this is the first time I've ever seen Brady. I came here for John and wasn't expecting a face spoiler today but it has happened and I feel like he would appreciate that.
This was lovely.
There is a baron von Humboldt among the subscribers to the orchid book. Is that the famous explorer?
Now there's a celebrity I want to see! Is Hank on next? What about Wheezy Waiter?
We have done a couple of videos with Hank in the past. Links in description.
Oh that orchid book is exquisite
So awesome!!
An amazing episode
There's gotta be some TB in the Royal Society Archives!
I would genuinely cry if I was in the presence of that manuscript...
Was the current royal page ready for this recording? I was hoping for it!
Love that he managed to plug the socks
Shout-out to the cameraperson, that zoom at 0:26 is perfect.
Those unfamiliar with the lore presumably thought “I have a sock company like that” was an odd joke. 🙂
Great video
I can relate to „this is a dream come true“ I think I might have teared up a bit if I would have been standing there 😅
God damn I enjoy John Green so much
John with the *immaculate* outro
The funny part is seeing John Green wowing while actually having almost no idea about what he is seeing. Woooooow!!! 🤔
I wonder if John was a tactile kid. He keeps his hands tucked away like he's been admonished not to touch things.
oh good you didn't leave Hank out :D I was like "what about Hank tho?! he'd love this :O "
Brady looks incredible! talk about hard as nails
Too true. Lean and mean
Fabulous...
Bravo!
its kind crazy to say its my first time seeing john green standing
Does the Royal Society have any books by Ernst Haeckel? His work looks AMAZING. I'd love to see a video about his books.
I can't be the only one who was on the edge of their seat the entire time, Wondering if the fish book would make an appearance 😂😂😂
I love that he almost said in the dooblydoo
No books about tuberculosis?
"Wow" you can tell he's a writer, such a way with words.
11:07 Alexander von Humboldt was a subscriber!
How on earth did John find a way to plug Awesome Socks to the library manager of the Royal Society
wasn't there a Hi episode about Brady going to Vidcon talking to John, having no clue who he was,
or was it Hank, it's been a minute.
