...Project For Awesome Live link as much as we can and hope for the best.

Okay hi! Hello, I think we're live. I think we're back. Many of you are not yet watching, but we are back! The Project For Awesome is back live, with you now. We had a, I mean, I don't like to, I don't like to cast aspersions, or place blame on anyone but it was completely Hank's fault. I've never seen something that was as unambiguously Hank's fault as what just happened. So, there you go. Hank, hang up, Hank, hung up on the entire, on all of you, thousands of you and, um, yeah.

So, um, so, I'm just trying to take care of some stuff but to summarize, we are back, and the Project For Awesome is in its second hour, um, and we've raised one hundred and fifteen thousand, eight hundred six dollars on the indiegogo, which means that in sum total, because every dollar that you donate at projectforawesome.com/donate is worth three dollars, uh,  to the UNHCR and Save the Children, we've now raised four hundred, twenty seven thousand dollars for those two extraordinary organizations. Um, very excited about this.

Also, um, there are lots and lots and lots of Project For Awesome videos to watch over at projectforawesome.com. Again, you can vote for your favorite videos, we're going to feature a new video soon and watch it together and comment on it, but, um, but there are, uh, so many great organizations, uh, so many people have made Project For Awesome videos this year about great, uh, organizations and a lot of the money, the money that's raised from the second half of the Project For Awesome is... Welcome back, by the way. The money that's raised in the second half of the Project For Awesome will all go to charities that we choose, uh, as a community, the nerdfighter community chooses, um, so, I think that's a really, I don't know, that's an important, really important part of the Project For Awesome for me is all of these people, uh, making videos.

Hank: Uh, yeah. I mean, the videographer in me wants you to tilt it down a little.

Jessi: No head- no

H: Little less head roo- there we go. That's great.

J: Okay.

H: Uh, so, I also feel like I'm a four year old.

J: I know, I feel like I need to get bigger.

H: So everyone, this is Jessi.

J: Hi guys!

H: Jessi runs a YouTube channel called Animal Wonders.

J: Animal Wonders Montana.

H: Okay, sorry. ehh, she runs a non-profit called Animal Wonders.

J: Yeah!

H: Where you take in animals that need homes...

J: mhm

H: And you uhh, take them to places so that they can meet people, and people will know more about animals.

J: Yeah.

H: And, uh, last year you were on the Project For Awesome.  I wasn't there, though, I was sleeping.

J: You missed out on a lot of fun. Did, you didn't get to watch it either cuz you were sleeping.

H: I watched some of it later.

J: Okay.

H: Yes.

J: Uh, you missed out on Kemosabe,

H: Yup.

J: The prehensile tailed porcupine hosting

H: Uh huh

J: For a while which was really fun.  But we also

H: Hnah!

J: Exactly. But we also had Lollipop join us, and she's here again for a... what do you call it, encore?

H: Oh yeah, okay. An encore, lollipop the skunk.

J: Lollipop the skunk. And we're gonna do some really fun things with her.

H: Okay.

J: So, we bring the animals out, and we teach about them, and we also just let them have fun.

H: Yeah

J: So, some things that are fun are a little unconventional, like what we're about to do right now.

H: Where did this table come from?

J: Doesn't it look nice?

Off-screen: It's the SciShow table.

H: Oh, it's the SciShow table. I was like, "We don't have a table in this room!"

J: I put-

H: No, that's good.

J: Kid-proof stuff on it.

H:That seems like a good call. Cuz there's go- we might get a little messy. Uh, we are right now at the SciShow/ CrashCourse studios, this is our big meeting room. There's a whole bunch of people sitting behind the camera, I don't know why they decided to be behind the camera.

Off-screen: Do you want us to be with you?

H: yeah

J: Come over here.

H: I got a whole couch.

Megan: Come on.

J: Scooch the couch over.

?: This one? Or...

M: Can we sit by you?

H: Yeah, come sit by me.

H: Don't, yeah don't mess with Lollipop. This is Megan.

M: Hello.

H: And that's Sam.

Sam: Hi.

H: Uh, they work on SciShow. And, and Duncan and Sarah are gonna stay behind the camera.

Duncan: For now.

H: For now, yeah. Umm...

D: I'm gonna dip my toes in the kiddie pool in just a second.

H: We've, and what we've got here is a bunch of little ones of these. These little blank pieces of canvas board, and paint, and some kibble. So I've already got an idea of what might happen. Um, we are going to make some Project For Awesome perks-

J: Christmas ornaments

H: No. No. Just make kibble Christmas ornaments?

J: Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

H: Like, instead of popcorn.

J: Exactly, yup

H:String em across the tree. Yeah, that would definitely cause cat problems. Uh, we are, we are going to make some Project or Awesome perks, but we are not going to be making them.  They are going to be made by Je- some of Jessi's animals.

J: Yeah, we're just supervising.

H: Yes. We're gonna supervise some, some perk creation. So we're gonna put these perks up on the indiegogo right now.

J: Want some examples?

H: In fact we're gonna put them up five minutes ago. Uh, here are some examples of them, uh

Off-screen: It's currently the featured perk.

H: It's currently the featured perk if you go to projectforawesome.com/donate . Uh, and it's art made by animals. Animal art, who were these made by?

J: Lollipop.

H: The skunk.

J: The skunk.

H: Okay

J: Yeah, skunk art.

H: Uh, what happens in Lollipop poops on one of the canvases?

J: Oh, we should charge more.

D: Bonus.

H: Bonus.

J: You- they might have some organic material on there, there might be some hairs or some pieces of kibble... crunch on there. But that just adds to it.

H: But mostly paint.

J: But mostly paint. Yeah, it is.

H: It's beautiful.

J: It's good enough to hang on your wall.

H: Here. I'll get it a little closer. Here, here you go, here's a close up view. Uh, how much are we charging for this? 50 bucks? 75...

Off-screen: 100 dollars

H: A hundred dollars!

J: Woo!

H: I should've started higher.

H: Um, I can't see the chat right now so Valerie's gonna tell me if anybody says anything, uh important

Valerie: We have a featured video from whenever we last did it

H: But we just did one

V: Yes

H: Which one did we do, oh Heifer International.

V: We won't do another one (?)

H: Okay, yes. I got it. Okay so while we are, what are you doing to me?

J: Sticking that on you.

H: You missed.

J: I did. That's alright, I got plenty more.

(?)

J: This is washable, I mean, the paint's washable.

H: Oh yeah

J: But not get it all over your shirt though.

J: Yeah so let's keep these safe.

H: Okay, the ones that are already done. And, um... so how does this work? What do you do?

J: Um I like to kind of leave them in charge of what they like to do. Um, I like to...

H: Are we gonna have them pick the colors?

J: No, not that in charge. I mean, it might just turn out to be a brown mess.

H: Yeah okay.

Megan: Yeah...

J: They might like it but, eh. Alright so we are going to put these, let's see, where's the best spot to put em... Like right in front of us, right? yeah.

H: Yeah, here, here-ish. As close as possible.

J: It's like this, like not...

H: Somewhat haphazard.

J: Yeah. Here, you. You wanna do it?  And don't get it on the painting but you're just going to- not on the painting!

M: Oh, Hank!

H: I cannot-

J: I mean she'll, she'll move that around. Hey, this one has a little bit of Hank art on it, too.

H: Yea, I made some art.

J: Yeah, just like...

H: Oh, woah! All around. Florida State University. No, University of Florida. I did the wrong one.

M: Broncos?

H: Gators.  Gators colors.

J: And then...

H: I don't know.  Oh and then you touch it?

J: Umm, yah, this- optimal surface area.

S: It's blue and orange and brown.

J: And brown.

H: Okay.

J: Caitlyn brought... there it is.

S: Is the gonna be a skunk on the table?

H: There's gonna be a skunk on the table.  My haaa. Oooh.

J: Oooh.

Off-screen: Do you need water?

J: No.

H: No, it's acrylic. Oh, you gave my like a tiny side of that.

J: Alright so this is, this is non-toxic paint.

H: It's the water based stuff.
