* "So I Moderated an Axe Murderer", a now-private video John starred in back in his college days, is equal parts somber and [[NightmareFuel terrifying]], as John talks about a boy that he knew and teased in high school that would grow up to not only be molested by a 45-year old man, but do the same to an 11/12-year old child before murdering him with an axe. John's final statement is especially poignant.
-->"I was very mean to Sam Maisey... and, uh, y'know, he was just a little kid."

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6a4hMyiwBo So, I've got cancer]] Hank reveals that he has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's one of the more treatable cancers, and it was caught early, but he is still in for months of chemotherapy and while he tackles the matter as optimistically as he can, he is weighed down by it all.

*** In the video, John mentions how his middle school self would often fantasize about hurting his bullies in ways such as forcing them to apologize at gunpoint, making them feel as scared and powerless as he did. The image is very jarring.

** The fact that since osteosarcoma almost instantly metastasizes to the lungs, there was basically ''nothing Hank and his wife could do'' aside from getting Lemon a painful amputation that will probably be short-term anyway.

** There's even some fridge tearjerker in the sense that many have inferred that the path Hank is walking in the video is the same path he used to walk with Lemon.

** The image of John in a hotel room looking through hundreds of pages of a new story, realizing that they'll never become a book, and sobbing is very upsetting.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQNfsJlUezE "Ode to a Dog"]], John's eulogy for Fireball Wilson Roberts Green (Willy for short), his dog. He goes through all of the fun memories of Willy, including a heartwarming moment regarding John's OCD, the result feeling very much like a funeral.
