In which John is threatened by an utterly fearless squirrel and contemplates the neoclassical architecture of our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Along the way, he and the Yeti visit several museums; look at the art of China's most important living artist, Ai Weiwei; visit the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the World War II Memorial; and consider the history of cars that are also boats.

    "Squirrel! I am a threat to you. We are enemies. Please get off my bench... oh God. Oh god! Don't touch me... oh God!!! " - John Green, bestselling author of The Fault in our Stars

    I just noticed how John refers to his wife as "The Yeti" when talking about their private interactions but as "Sarah" when discussing her professional work. ❤️
  • @meghanslade4680
    That squirrel was dangerously close. John must be a disney princess
  • @Hoonter
    Squirrel is inadequately afraid of John. John is over-adequately afraid of squirrel. Makes sense. :P Lol

    Lone bird, perched atop the Department of Agriculture, thanks for watching over our nation's grain......
  • @zeerinianu
    I keep coming back to this video for the JohnxSquirrel interaction.
  • @anticurse
    I keep coming back to this video solely for the purpose of watching John and the squirrel be "enemies."

    As someone who lives in Washington D.C, I can tell you that the buildings get less intimidating with time, but get more confusing. I still can't tell which buildings are libraries and which buildings are government headquarters.

  • @narratorprofessor46
    It's been 8 years and I still get John's song about the bird at the department of agriculture stuck in my head at least twice a month
  • @beckiejbrown
    2:19 - I've not seen this video for forever and I forgot about that. That moment had me laughing hysterically. Thank you John.

    John:"humourously freaking out about squirrel" Squirrel: I can haz popcorn?
  • @scjones25
    "I am a threat to you!" ...the squirrel is unconvinced.
  • @libirose8357
    His seemingly genuine fear of that squirrel will never not entertain me

    On the topic of squirrels, the squirrels on my college's campus are super friendly, and someone found one that was practically domesticated and took it back to her dorm room where she kept it for a few days before getting in trouble with the university, and the squirrel was sent to a shelter...a squirrel shelter! We have the cutest squirrels here!! XD

    This is the first Vlogbrothers video I ever watched, and on the day it was posted. Cadence, intermittently not forgetting to be awesome since October 2012

    "Lone biiiird, perched atop the Department of Agriculture, thanks for watching over our nation's graaiin." ---Yes.
