Hank: Hello everybody. It's Hank Green. I'm gonna play a little Connections in a moment, but before I do that, I'm going to tell you that right now on the vlogbrothers channel, we are streaming our Project for Awesome yearly charity live stream. This is the 19th one that we've done, though they haven't all been live-streams.

Back in the early days, it was a, was a different thing. It was a different era of YouTube. I don't know that live-streams existed because it was 19 years ago.

I've been a YouTuber for a while. And you'll notice I'm surrounded by total chaos and I'm holding scissors. And there's tasks in the balloons and then I pop the balloons and one of them was that I had to taste a Nintendo Switch cartridge and it was bad. Recently I had to post-postpone two tasks in a row that are called "Roll 4 Loca" where I stuff various foods with various other foods using a device called a Banana Loca and then I eat them.

And you can see me do that during one of my upcoming shifts. I've got a shift from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. mountain time and then from 10 to midnight mountain time.

I know that that's late for a lot of people, but not if you're on the West Coast, I guess. We have a good time. It's very silly, but we also raise a lot of money.

We've already raised more than $2 and a half million dollars. If you want to come by and hang out, maybe check out projectforawesome.com/donate. You maybe find some perks you want to get.

You know, you'll donate money to charity and at the same time you get good stuff. Check it out. Projectforawesome.com/donate.

But let's let's go ahead and play Connections. We can't stop ourselves. And if you're ever wondering why I get advertisements for weird gross masks, it's because of the Project for Awesome, where I frequently buy weird gross masks.

Okay, let's play. Spike, Spear, Lump, Jump, Junior, Hike, Gump, Bump, Sully, Breath, Woody, Mound, Pepper, Phillips, Hump, Rise. So, we got Lump-Jump, Bump-Gump, and Hump.

That's beautiful. But I also saw, and I don't know if anybody else saw this, but I saw Woody and Gump, which are two Tom Hanks characters. But Woody isn't like, like Woody's last name like Forrest Gump is.

Gump-Bump. That is hilarious.

A hump and a bump are the same thing and a lump are all the same thing. And a mound. Is that it?

That would be amazing. If that's the case, well spotted by the Connections people. Sully also is though a Tom Hanks guy.

Is Spike a Tom Hanks guy? Does he did he play Spike [from Cowboy Bebop]? My mouth tastes so bad right now cuz I just licked that Switch cartridge for charity!

And now, I'm now I'm living through that! Phillips. That sounds like it could be something.

Pepper. Let's put those together. I'm pretty confident that that's a category.

Rise. Breathe. Rise.

Hike. Rise. Jump.

Kind of. Sully Sullenberger is a first name. Gump is a last name.

Woody is a first name. If it was Forrest, I would really feel good about that being just Tom Hank's characters. We've got like Rise and oh my god, my mouth, it just keeps getting worse.

It should just be bad at first and then stop being bad when you take it out. Rise and a Spike. So like, a sudden, like, it's going up.

A rise and a spike and a hike and a jump. A jump and a spike and a rise and a hike. And that doesn't touch any of the, any of the Tom Hanks categories which makes me think that it's Woody, Sully, Gump, and either Junior or Phillips or Pepper.

If that's what's left, then we've got spear and we've got breath. In order to get to the category, because I don't know this Tom Hanks role, if that's what it is, then we we have Spear and Breath. And they have something in common because neither of those are people's last name.

I mean, I guess Spear could be, but Breath definitely isn't. So, it's it's Woody, Sully, Junior, Gump, Phillips, maybe Spear, maybe Pepper. Breath, no.

Pepper and Spear probably not. Pepper and spear and breath. Like they feel like they have something in common in, in like pepper and spear and breath.

What is, what is, what is that? Like bad breath. Like you have pepper breath, peppermint, spearmint, breath mint. Peppermint, spearmint, breath mint. Peppermint, spearmint, breath mint, and junior mint!

And then that leaves us with Woody, Sully, Phillips, Gump. And who's Phillips? I don't know, but let's find out.

That's pro- That's probably the purple, right? That's going to be the purple. Yes!

And then Phillip, Sully, Gump, Woody. Is that the blue? Yes!

And then spike, mound, hike, rise. That seems like that's the, the blue to me or the green to me. Oh no!

What did I do wrong?! I put mound! I put mound!

Goddamn. Jaaaaaahhhhhh! 

And it was the yellow. Great. Okay. Well, you know, you - sometimes you make dumb mistakes.

Sometimes you get yourself there through pure will and, and smarts and dedication. What was that? Was that like - Yeah, three or five.

I see that's a three out of five. I agree. Who's Tom Hanks Phillips?

Captain Phillips. He's the guy whose boat got taken away by the pirates or, or, or not. I don't actually know what happens!

Maybe he keeps his boat. Maybe they all become friends and he has a new crew. Takes on a new crew at a new port and now I'm the dread pirate robber. Check out the Project for Awesome.

It's a good time. Linked in the description, there's a schedule if you want to come by when John or I are streaming or other people. We have a good time.

It's silly. It's fun. We raise a lot of money for charity.

We make the world a better place. And my mouth is like dry now! Gleh! Like dry mouth!

Anyway, I'm not going to clean up now. I'm going to clean up what we call "later". And that's the perfect time to do that.

I'm looking forward because right now, what am I going to do? I'm going to go watch the Project for Awesome live stream with my wife, on Valentine's Day cuz that's, what do we call that? Romantic-ish.
