How weird is that?

I have no idea how to start a video unless I'm smacking a bell and saying Top of morning.

So top top of mourning, I guess.

As you have no doubt surmised, We're coming towards the end of the month and I haven't said anything about a charity lifestream yet.

We do one every single month.

At least I try to, but this month I will not be able to.

I am so, so sorry that I'm not able to do one.

I really, really wanted to, but this month's just kind of got away from me way too quickly at the end of the last one.

Ah, a lot of you could probably tell that I just wasn't in it.

I wasn't focused.

I wasn't in the zone.

I watched neighbours like pay attention and wasn't able to keep the energy up and keep it going because they take a lot out of you to do these every month on that last one that we did, I just wasn't really happy with.

So this month I was already feeling it, that I just wasn't ready.

It was about a week away, and I was like, Oh, God, I don't have a pin design.

I don't even have a charity picked.

I don't have anything ready on dhe I I came to the conclusion that I just can't do a stream this month.

That does not mean that we're not doing a campaign.

We're still doing a campaign.

We're still pushing towards the charity and we're still going to try and raise money.

But I just won't be able to sit down and do a stream where we drive to it and sit here all day and try and raise.

They're 100 K that we normally do no riel crazy reasons as to why we can.

I just I'm not prepared on dhe.

I just don't have the energy for it.

There was a lot of stuff going on this month in personal life, things just going back and forth through a lot of places and doing a lot of little tiny little events here and there.

That just kind of took a lot out of me.

And then, like right now I'm sick.

You probably can't hear it, but my throat feels like I swallowed sandpaper.

It's just burning all the time.

So recording videos in general is proving quite difficult, and I can manage it if it's like an hour at a time.

But having to sit down and do an entire stream is just too much.

And I'm also going to packs like, next week I'm going to pack so that I'm staying in L.

A for about a month.

So I'm going to Pax next week and then spending L.

A all after that.

So I have to prepare for that as well, eh?

So things are just kind of all over the place.

So that's the reason why I can't sit down and do an actual stream this month on Seriously, I am really, really sorry because I said I was gonna try and do one every month.

I really, really, really wanted to, because last year we did eight out of 12.

Um, we're on track to do every single one of them this this year so far, but I just I can't It's it's too much, but fear not, because we're still doing the pin and we're still doing a charity and we're still doing a tilt.

If I page so this one's charity we're doing for the best friends society, the best friends, animal society, I should say I wanted to do an animal charity and animal well being an animal welfare.

Charney What's the word I'm looking for?

I can't think of it on animal charity to try and help animals because it's something that I do care a lot about.

And a lot of people have wanted me to do one for a while.

We're doing one for the Best Friends Animal Society, who are an organization that helped keep animals off the streets to help stop homelessness in animals like stray pets.

And they do this through a lot of different ways, and they have a few mission statements as well, which I read out here in a second.

But they do it by trying to stop the killing of animals in shelters, because sometimes if in animal can't find a home in a shelter.

And this is why it's very important to bring in shelter pets into your homes instead of buying from breeders is because sometimes when pets get older or they're not wanted or they're just in shelters for a long time, they have to be put down.

So the breast best friends, animal society are doing their best to try and stop that.

They have about 3700 acres on DWI, least another 17,000 acres.

Um, about nearly 30,000 people visit each year to meet the animals, and they say, Now there's about 1600 animals trying to turn their lives around in this sanctuary.

So that's that's already a great start.

So with our help on our fundraising, we can hopefully put a little bit of a dent in that and put it towards some nice animal welfare.

We're not doing a huge crazy goal this time because I'm just not there to sit and try and drive to the donations all the time.

But there is a tilt if I page up to be down in the description.

We're trying to raise $20,000 this time, and it's gonna be open for a while, so it's really gonna be open for the entire rest of August.

So it's been open.

This identify page itself has only been open now, but the pin that we're doing this month as well, which I will put up on screen somewhere here.

This is the pin we're doing this time because a lot of reasons why we're doing this as well is that recently, there's been some some stories about creators and some stories about influencers not treating their pets.

The best have been stuff on twitch about people feeding their animals alcohol when they shouldn't and throwing animals.

And then there was a viral clip, the wind around of a woman, like putting down their dog and abusing their dog.

So I wanted to try and I don't know, try and try and put some positivity back into these stories and put some positivity back into the world towards animals.

And also I've just been playing so much Minecraft.

And that whole series so far for me, has been about bringing in his money animals as they can and treating them nicely and fairly and trying to just have a good time with them.

And it's been so super wholesome, so that's kind of the inspiration behind the pin.

The pin design itself was made by mirror gem pins.

You can follow them on Twitter through that handle and various other social media as well.

They have guns, numerous pins in the past and I've seen a lot of them and the really, really cool lives in some eagle pins, and they've sold them for charity and different things like that.

It's been wonderful.

So they made this pin design and I love that a lot.

So I asked him if we could use it for this.

So thank you to them for letting us do it.

I love it.

I think it's a great pin.

So please go down into the description and click the links are try and pin a comment as well.

If I remember the juice out, please let me know if I forget to do so because I sometimes forget things and then you can click those and you go straight to the donation pages and help out.

And I will also every month that we do one of these.

I donate 10 k of my own money towards it, so I want to keep doing that as well.

So I will also be helping out with the donation goal.

But I'm gonna need you guys is help to try and get to the rest of the way too.

So please click those links, please donate as generously as you can and again the pin.

As with every month, the pin is going towards the charity as well.

So any merch that is sold on the jacks up the guy dot com website will all be going towards that charity as well, not just the pin.

Everything else as well.

But the pin is something that we do every month, so that will that will be adding to our little collection for the year.

And I know there's been a lot of talk recently about the Amazon rainforest to, and that's also something that I care deeply about because last month charity stream that we did, we raised $100,000 for the environment for the Environmental Defense Fund.

So we this was before any of this stuff happens, stuff happened on.

Guy would have done another one for the rainforest as well.

But they're the animal.

Uh, what's the animal welfare charity?

I don't know.

There's a word in my head that I'm trying to think of it.

I can't come to win.

Um, I've been trying to do one of those for a while as well, so I relieve a Lincoln description for you to be able to donate to the rainforest to if you're feeling even extra generous and you want to help out with that as well.

So trying to raise some awareness for that, too, because it's a big deal right now and a lot of people are talking about it.

So awareness is good.

And just trying to raise money and help out and just let people know how important the rain forest is is really near and dear to my heart, too.

So please click the links in the descriptions followthrough.

Again.

I'm really sorry that I can't do a stream, but next month, hopefully in September I'll be doing another one and I we have talks about what we're doing so far, and if it goes through, it would be really, really cool.

So I'm looking forward to that one, and I'll make sure that I'll bring the energy for that.
