“What if? The phrase of ‘What if?’ What if we were to get through this? What if we were to end TB? What if we were to feed every child before they went to sleep? That “What if?” and that pause, that ellipsis that occurs after the “What if” gives us hope because you can write the end of the story.”
-Ettore Rossetti, P4A 2025
The 2025 Project for Awesome livestream started, as it often does, a little late due to technical difficulties. "Hank Green, wildly unprepared," commented John as Hank worked to get his audio fixed, as though John was not also late. This gave Nerdfighteria time, however, to keep donating and start the stream with over half a million dollars raised! In direct donations, on Tiltify, we started the stream with $176,559.69 raised and with matching donations, that made $591,551.69!
John acquired new wigs for this year and this first wig/persona was quickly named Silly Ray Cyrus by the chat. Hank showed off his multiple camera angles, including one featuring Beanie Sandfurbs.
As is tradition, many donors competed to make the total a combination of funny numbers. John celebrated this with a champagne popper.
Hank needed to post to Bluesky about P4A starting, so he let a variety of geese host for him.
Very quickly, we reached $1,000,000 raised! This year was a new record, reaching $1 million in 49 minutes, beating the previous record from 2022 by one minute. Hank and John celebrated with confetti!
One hour in, we reached 70,000 votes cast for charities! This year voting was open for as long as the Tiltify was open to take donations, giving people a much longer window to watch videos and support charities.
After an hour of brotherly celebration, Hank took a break and Silly Ray Cyrus was joined by Sarah.
As John tried to explain Silly Ray Cyrus to Sarah and updated her on the first hour's achievements, chat wrote song parodies for Silly Ray. John told Sarah about some of the perks this year including the t-shirt, featuring a world-decorated ring pop, which they then realized was a play on "World Suck" (a thing we fight against here in Nerdfighteria and especially during the Project for Awesome). They also discussed Crabulo.us, which led to a conversation about Art Assignment and how wonderful NerdCon was.
A little over 2 hours into the livestream, we surpassed the total number of votes cast last year! The new voting structure allowed much more interaction with all of the videos people made.
John decided to take his wig off for his conversation with Dr. Mukherjee. “Silly Ray Cyrus is going to take a break until after I talk to Dr. Mukherjee, I don’t really want Dr. Mukherjee to know about Silly Ray Cyrus, if I’m being perfectly honest with you. She wouldn’t mind, she’d think it was cool. She loves the Project for Awesome.”
Dr. Joia Mukherjee, Partners In Health's Chief Medical Officer, who was calling in from Sierra Leone.
Dr. Joia updated us on Partners In Health's work around the globe and the impact they are making, with the help of Nerdfighteria's ongoing support.
After talking with Dr. Joia, John put on a new wig and was quickly dubbed "Sillie Nelson."
Sillie Nelson read from Everything is Tuberculosis and talked about how he wants to make Hank proud.
Sillie Nelson then transformed back into Silly Ray Cyrus, but with a raspy voice because "he's seen some stuff, he's been through it, he's come out on the other side working 9 to 5."
John then tried to pass hosting duties back to Hank, but instead met Dr. Billiam Feathersby!
Before John left he reminded Dr. Feathersby that he might not want to be a duck/goose when Ettore Rossetti joins shortly.
Chat and Hank then worked on deciding who Dr. Billiam Feathersby is. "What kind of guy am I?" questioned Dr. Feathersby, also known as Hank Gosling and Honk Green. Hank commented that this was similar to being on Dropout's Very Important People but without doing the prework to figure out the character.
It was quickly determined that Dr. Feathersby is a Jedi master from a duck planet. he is on the High Downy Council of Malardia and is an emissary to Earth.
"You do seem to make a number of bizarre decisions," observed Dr. Feathersby.
He searched for signs that our species is worth saving, since any species that can travel through interstellar space could wipe us out. His species can move stellar core fragments. There was one heading towards us but they moved it. They could have just let it go but they didn't.
In Dr. Feathersby's observations of Earth and reporting back to his planet about us, his species have become big fans of standup comedy and crowd work. Also Sabrina Carpenter. They now have Quackle Roan and Sabrina Quackenter.
Chat quickly shifted to writing parody songs for Quckle Roan and Sabrina Quackenter.
Dr. Billiam Feathersby was informed that Ettore from Save the Children would be joining the livestream soon, so he would have to leave for a bit. Before exiting, he informed us that organizations like Save the Children are another reason why Earth has not been destroyed.
Quickly the P4A website was updated to show Dr. Billiam Feathersby.
Hank appeared and told the chat that he doesn't trust Dr. Feathersby to be the kindest about people, which is why he can't talk to Ettore.
Ettore Rossetti, Save the Children's Lead Advisor of digital, marketing, and innovations, informed Hank that Honk Green, an imposter, was on stream. Hank said he will keep an eye out and make sure he has permission to be on stream, but when you have a foreign dignitary like that you’ve gotta give them a little bit of slack.
Ettore told us that Save the Children is saving children and they will continue to do so. He remarked that every year it seems like there is a crisis during the Project for Awesome and this year is not different. It's a tragedy. But the bright spot is a community like this.
In the many years of Nerdfighteria working with Save the Children and Hank getting to speak with Ettore during P4A, Ettore has become a Nerdfighter. He participates in Nerdfighteria all year, and knows our traditions.
“I’d like to donate a generous act to the stream." Ettore said. "I’m inspired by Pizzamas and Pizza John and so forth, so I’m gonna propose the opposite. I’ve had this mustache for, the last time I shaved it was 25 years ago. Longer than my tenure at Save the Children and longer than P4A. So what I’m gonna do is I’m gonna shave my stache.”
This announcement from Ettore shocked Hank and everyone watching!
Hank quickly tried to encourage donations as a part of Ettore's proposal. “How much money can we raise while Ettore shaves his mustache?” Meanwhile, Ettore stepped off camera and we heard the razor turn on.
“It’s Valentine’s Day, I should have consulted my wife first…” he said while returning on screen, clean shaven.
“YOU DIDN’T CONSULT YOUR WIFE FIRST?!?! Well it’s too late now. Maybe this is the greatest gift you could ever give her.”
“I should probably put it back…” he said. Which is when people started to remember...
...that Ettore has a twin brother.
“Was that your brother?!?! Was that your brother, you monster?!?!”
“YOU MONSTERS!!! I was fooled and I KNEW you had a twin!” exclaimed Hank!
“We felt like this Project for Awesome was the time to do something special," said Ettore.
The P4A website was quickly updated to include Ettore and Angelo's prank.
After Ettore and Angelo's excellent prank, Hank hosted solo for a bit and introduced this year's balloon tasks. While in the past he has clearly explained rules for how much money must be raised to pop and balloon and require him to complete the task inside, this year he did not tell us the amount, so each balloon became a surprise.
The first balloon told Hank to call his Congressman, which he did.
Then, Hank celebrated $500,000 being raised on Tilitify and popped another balloon.
This balloon told him to explain the internet to Ben Franklin, who was just brought to the present. Hank decided the best person to explain the internet to Ben Franklin would be Ol' Trash Water.
With balloons popping and previous P4A characters appearing, chat began to fear an appearance from Jarrod. Hank explained that Jarrod had rules this year. There would be a warning before he appeared and he could only visit for 15 minutes at the most.
At this point, Hank informed everyone that he was hungry and the chat reminded him of his jerky drawer. Hank chose turkey jerky but as he ate it learned it was expired. "It's a little powdery," he explained.
The powdery expired snack made Hank cough, so he muted himself until he stopped. Not one to leave us without entertainment, he silently showed us a new friend, who would be named later.
It was time to pop another balloon! This one required Hank to wear slightly moist socks.
He chose to moisten his socks by walking around outside in the snow.
“This is one of the worst things I’ve ever done. I hate that so much! It’s damp, but it’s also very cold! Which I probably should have expected.”
Chat tried to get Hank to take off the socks but he refused because “it’s about what the balloon wants!”
Hank and his cold, wet feet were then joined by Tyler Thrasher, who had new art to show us including the world's first opalized flowers!
Tyler then asked Hank absurd questions including:
Would you rather have the world’s longest outie belly button or the world’s deepest innie belly button? (Innie)
There are two Katherine’s both claiming to be your wife. What is your one surefire test to immediately sus out the real Katherine? (“I would ask her to do any saxophone solo.” Apparently Katherine does vocal saxophone solos in an unusual way.)
The conversation then switched to what Hank would do with the fake Katherine. Hank decided he would either murder her or run away. Tyler was just glad Hank had a plan. Everyone should have a plan.
To chat's delight, Hank took off his cold, wet socks.
After our time with Tyler, it was time for Hank to pop another balloon! This one had him rank the planets from most to least chaotic energy.
Hank completed this ranking with no input from chat. He refused to rank Pluto.
Hank had to remind chat this is is not a ranking of planet quality (there are no garbage tier planets), but rather a ranking of their chaos.
Hank then handed hosting back to John/Sillie Nelson. Sillie sang “On the stream again, I just can’t wait to be on the stream again, the life I love is making donations with my friends, so I just can’t wait to be on the stream again."
Sillie Nelson was then joined by Craig with a Wig, who had questions for John including:
From PoweredByLove9: How does John feel about getting rid of the penny? (It isn’t the executive branch’s job to make this decision, Congress has to do it. But John is still a fan of getting rid of the penny (and Craig agrees).)
From FlavesToSilver: What question would you set on fire so you never have to see it again? (“Where do you get your ideas?” mostly because he doesn’t have an answer for it. Craig likes that question because it always starts a conversation. John will no longer burn that question in a fire.)
Then, John and Craig modeled new wigs and Craig asked more questions.
From LeftyTablespoon: What’s a feeling you’ve felt or situation you’ve been in where you thought “There should be a word for this”? (There is a recent word for it, but the feeling of looking around the subway and realizing each person is a full person just like you and you will never understand them because you are stuck inside your own experience. The feeling of being simultaneously very very large and very very small. John doesn’t know the word for it. It’s not quite sonder. How we all relate to each other and the ways we can’t relate to each other.)
From SakuraGrace: What has been the most successful thing you’ve grown in your garden? (They mostly grow hot peppers to make hot sauce. Edamame is less successful because the woodchuck eats it.)
Before Craig left, he and John celebrated reaching $1.7 million raised. Craig requested a phone call if/when we beat the day 1 record.
Then John checked in on chat. “How did everything go with Hank? Was it nice and normal?” he asked. Of course it wasn't.
John talked about Everything is Tuberulosis and then led chat in playing his favorite game, Timeguessr!
Henry brought Potato to visit the stream for the first time and then we beat the record amount raised on the first day of the Project for Awesome!
John called Craig to let him know it happened. “HOORAY!!! Good job everybody!” declared Craig over speakerphone.
Hank popped in to celebrate and take over hosting for the evening. He was soon joined by Alexis Nikole, who quizzed Hank and the chat on different plants that are either poison or snacks!
During the quiz, we reached $2 million raised! Hank popped a balloon that told him to draw a pelican with a marker taped to his forehead.
After much discussion about how to best secure the marker and avoid as many fumes as possible, Hank drew a not-bad pelican!
Then, Hank handed hosting over to Tom Lum. Before Hank left, Tom showed him the "none pizza, left the hottest hot sauce" he had ordered.
Apparently, if you order online the app warns you MANY times that your pizza is cheeseless and sauceless.
Hank left to put Orin to bed and Tom explained that he was very excited to teach chat all about Magic: the Gathering. Luckily, Caroline Roper and Ella Hubber, Tom's podcast cohosts, jumped in to stop him!
Chat was able to vote via donations on Tiltify on the order of events for this group. They chose frog trivia (with incorrect answers being rewarded with hot sauce), chat writes a song, and finally chaos canvas.
Caroline posed frog trivia questions to Tom and Ella, who ate Hot Ones hot sauce for any question they answered incorrectly.
They all worked together to draw P4A related items on one digital canvas.
And at the end of their hour, Tom showed his first ever video, a Project for Awesome video.
Next, the admins of the Nerdfighteria Minecraft server, Nerdcrafteria took over the stream!
They showed us their two new worlds including Beanburg, featuring a glowing Beanie Sandfurbs!
They invited anyone who wanted to join them on the server to play games in the to-scale replica of Plough Lane.
Before P4A, they asked server participants to submit P4A builds to be voted on via donations.
The first build was Dr. Project for Awesome, “complete with tab and can hole." Through much collaboration with chat, this build became known as Dr. Doctor Canhole. It was established that Canhole is 400,000 times nicer than Jarrod.
The second build was a "Hope is the thing with feathers" cross stitch piece.
We were also shown other builds that were not a part of the competition, like Pickle Hank, We’re Hummus Because, Flank (Fly Hank), Beanie Sandfurbs, Crank Green, and a family of Honks: Dr. Billiam Feathersby, Quackle Roan, and the OG Honk Green
In the end, the cross stitch won the contest, but Dr. Doctor Canhole will remain in our hearts.
Hank joined the Nerdcrafteria team before reclaiming hosting. He held Beanie up to see his likeness.
Hank played some music and then welcomed Brian David Gilbert to the stream!
Brian was working towards the world record for least blinks during a charity livestream held on Valentine’s Day.
Hank asked how Brian had trained for this. "Just do burpees," replied BDG.
The deep pressure of his family’s hopes and dreams is keeping him going. Each poster supporting him was made by a different family member including his mom.
Brian did not keep his eyes open as long as he hoped, but Hank and the chat assured him that he did destroy the world record! “We’re not lying, because it’s true” said Hank. But for some reason, many of the posters behind Brian were no longer there.
In the end, Brian's eyes were open for 8 minutes and 3 seconds.
Brian assured us that the posters behind him were only gone because a bat flew in and BDG had to humanely catch and release it in the posters. Not because he was upset at all.
Brian's Wikipedia page was quickly updated to reflect his record, but this recognition has since been removed.
It was then time to pop another balloon!
It was our first Roll for Loca of the year! This one was junior mints, peepsi, and jelly in a pickle.
Brian introduced chat to the friends on his microphone and then he and Hank celebrated us reaching $750,000 donated on Tiltify.
Hank popped another balloon and it was again Roll for Loca. This one was queso, tamari, and turkey in a pickle. Hank does not enjoy pickles.
Brian gave chat the power to name one of his little guys via a Tiltify poll. This little guy is now Cinderblokc.
After Brian's time hosting came to an end, Hank returned to playing music. We then reached a fun new total: almost all 2's! Hank popped another balloon for this achievement. He had to play connections and all of his guesses had to be plausible but wrong. Hank remarked that this was harder for him than calling his Congressman.
The conversation wandered to using a banana loca to stuff bread with other bread, thus developing the Croipumproche: croissant, pumpernickle, and brioche. (Later a chatter suggested pita and Hank thought Croipitaroche was easier to say. He also tried Croipumpita and Pitapumproche.)
Hank then reminisced over last year’s balloon tasks and reflected on which were challenging for him.
Hank popped another balloon which declared "Hank and the twins dance."
Only Hank knew what this meant and he began setting up. Chat pondered who "the twins" could be while Hank looked for many USB-C cables.
It turns out, Hank had acquired TWIN WACKY WAVY INFLATABLE ARM DANCERS!!!!
Hank danced with the twins to two chat-suggested songs.
Hank asked chat to name the twins. While "The Green Twins" was a popular option, Honk and Bonk quickly won out. It was determined that Honk was the more endurant brother. Hank labeled their bases so he would remember the names. There was a question of if it was okay to have multiple Honks, since Honk Green already exists, but Hank assured everyone that it's fine.
Hank ended the stream for our first night's break with $778,727.69 raised on Tiltify, $2,262,688.69 total, and 85,862 votes cast.
Saturday morning's stream began with Rosianna discussing current events and the actions we can take while painting watercolor self care bunny frog! Also known as Funny Brog!
Rosianna had been saying John would be joining with a special guest. Many in chat speculated that the guest would be Jarrod, but really it was Stan Muller! Much better than Jarrod, everyone agreed.
John and Stan gave a taste of their usual JohnsChannel streams where John plays FIFA as AFC Wimbledon.
After a game, Stan asked John trivia questions to promote their trivia perk!
They celebrated raising $2.4 million before Stan left and John was joined by Phil Plait.
John was excited that Phil thought he looked like MacGyver in this wig.
They both discussed their feelings about current events and Phil taught us about the Stand Up For Science March!
After his time with Phil, John tried on a new wig that made him look just like his dad, Mike Green!
Chat gave John an update on the events of late night P4A. He was confused to learn that Hank danced with the twins but was glad to know that Jarrod did not appear.
Soon, John gave hosting responsibility back to Hank, who was joined by Ceri Riley and Sam Schultz from SciShow Tangents.
The Tangents team celebrated $2.5 million being raised as Ceri asked Hank and Sam trivia questions. The winner would get to eat a good donut and the loser would have to eat a cursed donut.
In the end, they both tried the cursed donut and all three of them got to eat a delicious donut.
After Tangents, Taha from Answer in Progress hosted. He explained Flash games to the youths and then used a spinner to decide what browser games he would play with the chat, since browser games are the closest thing we have to Flash games now.
After Taha's games showed off his excellent geography skills, he handed the stream to Taylor Behnke, Miriam Nielsen, and Darcy.
They were using Detergentn't, from a previous P4A, to hold Darcy's carrots and had a few bandanas for Darcy to wear, depending on the results of a Tiltify poll. The sunflower design won.
As is tradition, Darcy cronched a carrot each time a certain amount of money was donated. Additionally, Taylor and Miriam had a lick pad for Darcy and they allowed a Tiltify poll to decide what the majority of the food on the lick pad would be: peanut butter, pumpkin, or yogurt.
Soon, somone named "Yologurt" donated $1,000!
Then, someone named "YOLOGURT" also donated $1,000!
Quickly, the chat connected the two Yologurt donations to The Twins, Honk and Bonk.
(Important update, one year later I have learned that both Yologurt donations may have been from a single Yologurt, so possibly one person made twin donations, not two people each making matching donations.)
In all of this celebration of twins and Yologurt, we reached $2.6 million!
Unsurprisingly, yogurt won and was the majority of Darcy's lick pad. She was very excited to share in the success of the Project for Awesome!
As Darcy enjoyed her treat, Miriam and Taylor handed hosting duties back to Hank, who was joined by Karina, Nathan, Jacob, and Julia from Drawfee.
The Drawfee team had been provided with a list of running themes and characters from this year's P4A so far as potential drawing inspiration. Nathan started us off with drawing a Moosigator (a moose with alligator head, feet, and antlers that Hank just created).
“His final hand is just a man’s hand,” declared Hank, "That’s a real banana, that’s how big the moosigator is!"
Jacob began to draw his interpretation of "forehead pelican" before Hank showed his drawing from the day before.
Jacob's new version was named Stanley, the pelican.
Julia chose to draw Cinderblokc, Brian David Gilbert's little guy! Hank requested that Cinderblokc be holding a croipumproche, but he had to explain what that meant.
Karina chose to draw Dr. Billiam Feathersby and asked Hank to tell her a bit about him. Impressively, Hank remembered much of the lore from the day before!
Karina labeled the drawing with "Pass the aux" but chat suggested making it "Pass the three USB-C's" since Hank had to search for cords for The Twins.
Then, Hank was joined by his family, Katherine and Orin! Orin played with the confetti while Hank and Katherine discussed how the P4A has been going and how many of the things Katherine thought were missing were just in Hank's office.
We reached $1 million raised on Tiltify and Hank popped a balloon selected by Orin. It was Roll for Slushie. Hank rolled pickle juice, gatorade, gatorade powder, pudding, and hot sauce.
While Hank gathered his ingredients, we had a visit from Dr. Billiam Feathersby's son, who told us about his space adventures. “I like Jupiter because of its great red spot and it looks like my bill,” he said.
Hank was skeptical of the slushie becoming a slushie (particularly with the high salt content) so he added snow to it.
“Ew, ew” said Hank, upon tasting his creation.
While discussing how cluttered Hank’s office is, Katherine mentioned that confetti has ended up all the way in their bedroom. Hank admitted that it was stuck in his pants.
Hank and his family then handed the stream to Nicole Sweeney and Animal Wonders for an extended time painting with animals.
Jessi from Animal Wonders introduced us to Roana the raccoon, who was our artist this year.
In addition to making many paintings, Roana painted Jessi's clothes.
Jessi also introduced us to Joy the macaw, Cheeba and Mochi the sugar gliders, Quincho the three banded armadillo, Raisin the leopard gecko, Amber the tegu, and Heuy, Dewy, and Louie the frogs!
After our animal art, John returned to the stream in a new wig. He chose to fight Hank’s gross foods with sweetness. For every $1,000 raised, he promised to eat two marshmallows. He soon realized that this was not the best idea.
He was then joined by Danielle Bainbridge. They discussed various projects while John ate marshmallows.
After chatting with Danielle, John refocused on chat. He became stressed when a chatter said their dad was asking if John was wearing a wig. He took the wig off and declared himself to be “a normal dude.”
John was joined by his kids while people donated and voted in a poll on Tiltify to decide if Henry should punch John this year, or if he has become too strong. John continued to eat marshmallows.
The result was close, but “yes, it’s a noble punishment” beat out “no, we’re scared for John” so Henry punched John, who held a pad. It was still, clearly, a powerful punch.
“If I hadn’t had the pad that would have killed me! Henry, your boxing lessons have really paid off,” said John.
Then, Alice got to hit John. It was still powerful, but not as destructive.
After the punching, John caught up on the marshmallows he needed to eat and celebrated reaching $1.1 million on Tiltify. He then declared the end of the marshmallow time.
Henry and Alice brought Potato down for a visit. He was happy to be help and snuggled by the kids.
Alice did John's makeup, including a plumping lipstick. She called Sarah in for reinforcements on his eyebrows.
A discussion began about if people wanted to see Jarrod this year. It became some revisionist history for Beanie Sandfurbs as well.
“Jarrod might be the most divisive character in the Project for Awesome. Back when it was like Beanie Sandfurbs and everybody, who doesn’t love a Beanie Sandfurbs? But Jarrod. Jarrod tests all of our patience. Jarrod takes us to the absolute limit of what we can handle as a species," said John.
John clearly had forgotten that when Beanie was first introduced people donated to never see him again.
Hank returned to the stream playing the theme song from Reba's show as a commentary on John's look in the red wig. The lyrics were quickly changed to "a single John who works too hard."
Hank was joined by Travis McElroy. They discussed being part of brother groups, competition with siblings, and how the Dad Cast was almost the Daddy Cast but luckily someone stepped in to stop that.
Travis' frog art was based around pickles, so Hank showed that he also had pickles.
Hank popped another balloon and had to eat a "no hand hot dog" (I refuse to include pictures of this but it was an entertaining time for all). Then, it was time for Destin to host.
Destin chose to return to microscopy this year. Many years ago, Destin's microscopy work led to Butfartman.
Hank stuck around to celebrate reaching $3 million (while looking at cat hair), then let Destin take over for a bit.
As a surprise, Destin showed his wax cylinders and player at the end of his segment.
Hank then popped a balloon for reaching $3,050,000. It was Roll for Loca, which Hank wanted to save for Brennan, who would be joining soon.
Due to the late time of the stream and the reappearance of Hank's balloons, many people in chat were concerned that Jarrod was imminent. Hank reiterated the rules: Jarrod must be announced in advance and could stay no longer than 15 minutes.
Because Hank was saving the previous balloon for later, he popped a balloon for $3.1 million a little early. It had him do a possum puppet show about a hot take.
Hank selected the hot take "Jarrod is cute." The possums talked a bit about Jarrod but then shifted to mostly talking about how all humans are weird because they need clothes.
A Tiltify poll asked if Jarrod was going to show up but Hank insisted it is up to the balloons, not up to the poll. ("NO" won, continuing the pattern of Jarrod losing every poll.)
While waiting for Brennan to join, chat convinced Hank to eat a snack. He found fruit jerky in his jerky drawer and played Timeguessr.
As chat discussed what they were eating and continued to try to convince Hank to eat something more substantial, Hank started listing some foods he likes. He declared himself to be a "cold food guy" because the flavor is less intense.
Hank prepared for Brennan’s appearance by pre-rolling his locas. He rolled nerds, asian bbq sauce, mayo in a twinkie and hot dog, cheddar, maple syrup, and jelly in a hot dog. Hank ended up on twinkie and hot dog after rolling 7 pickles in a row, which he refused to do because he had already eaten multiple pickles and he doesn't like them.
Hank dropped the die and accidentally showed his buttcrack as he went to retrieve it, just as Brennan joined the stream!
“Crash Course, more like Ass Course my man," said Brennan.
Brennan was very excited to raise money but he was so distracted by Hank’s butt that he didn’t notice the banana loca!
“Not for the last time, I was too focused on your butt crack” said Brennan.
Brennan dove into one of his monologues: “I’ll tell you, man. I’ve been coming here as a pal and a guest on the Project for Awesome for a few years now. Every time I come, you bring out this goddamn contraption. It is revolting, it is depraved, it haunts my waking mind, and when a friend and someone you love and care about is doing something that frightens you and give you pause you cannot let them do it alone,” and Brennan pulled out HIS OWN BANANA LOCA!
“For America! And by America we mean the actual America, not whatever weird thing is going on right now,” said Hank.
“No, the America that lives in your heart, where freaks on the internet can eat stuffed bananas, that’s the America I believe in!” declared Brennan.
Hank then told Brennan what he had rolled for his two Roll for Loca's. Brennan did not like the sound of them.
Brennan began to describe his frog print perk. "It’s frogs for freedom, it’s amphibians for America, it’s cold blooded critters for charity." Before Brennan could finish describing his perk it had sold out. “Chat, you’re crazy man, that’s wild.”
Ever the poet, Brennan turned Hank coring a hot dog into a community lesson. “Small community mutual aid, prioritizing each other, find the hot dog on the ground near you and core that!”
Meanwhile, Brennan used last year's list to Roll for Loca for himself. He got a banana filled with mayo, doritos, and necco wafers. He did not have necco wafers, so he made a donation instead.
Hank chose not to interrupt the conversation he was having with Brennan but needed to tell chat how much he enjoyed his mayo-filled twinkie.
Hank needed to pop a balloon and mentioned that he knows what Brennan doesn’t want it to be. Brennan immediately had a look of despair on his face as he said “Don’t have it be him, please.”
Hank then admitted that he lost one of the slips, so there’s a 20% chance Jarrod will never arrive. “Let’s hope we’re in that world,” said Brennan.
The balloon was instead a visit from Ol' Trash Water! Brennan ate his loca’ed banana while talking to Ol’ Trash Water. “That is not the happiness food,” Brennan informed us all.
Brennan and Ol' Trash Water had a rollercoaster of a conversation where we learned a lot about each of them and York, Pennsylvania. It was then time to pop another balloon.
Brennan saw that the balloon said “dance with the twins” and immediately became concerned. “What is that? That is frightening!”
Hank's insistence that The Twins' names were Honk and Bonk and that they are from York, PA did not assuage Brennan's fears. But then, he saw them and understood.
“Oh, I see them, way to go Honk and Bonk.”
It was time for a dance party!
Then Brennan and Hank said goodnight and the stream ended for the day.
Sunday morning started with John hosting while his family slept.
He quietly walked through his home trying not to wake anyone, only to be met by a very loud Potato who was barking at an overturned umbrella.
After a featured video, we were greeted by Sillie Nelson, reminding us to take our medicine and always be good to each other.
John admitted that he has never had a shorter time between REM sleep and being on the internet.
He was very sniffly but was unwilling to get a tissue. A Tiltify poll was run on if he should get a tissue with the options of “PLEASE” and “No.” Yologurt made a shocking appearance to vote no. Despite that, “PLEASE” won significantly.
We celebrated raising $3.2 million with a party popper.
After some discussion of community and reading from John’s next book, Hank took over the stream.
Hank read a bit from his next book and defended his use of Twitter. Then, he did a mini meme review.
A discussion of this year's mascot began and there were many options. A Tiltify poll was run including Honk and Bonk, Dr. Billiam Feathersby, Silly Ray Cyrus, The Concept of Surprise Twins, Cinderblokc, Frogs, Pickles, Ettore's Mustache, Sillie Nelson, and Darcy. It quickly became a battle between Silly Ray Cyrus and The Concept of Surprise Twins.
Hank popped a balloon and had to do sharpie face (extra appropriate because one of this year's perks was sharpies)!
John rejoined the stream and Alice was excited to do sharpie face as well!
After reaching $3.3 million, Dr. Billiam Feathersby came to visit again. He spent the weekend watching the P4A and decided to let humanity continue to exist for another year.
Dr. Feathersby revealed that Beanie Sandfurbs was also on the Intergalactic Council, but Beanie's portion of the council thought all humans should die. This was a shocking turn of events.
Dr. Billiam Feathersby had some parting words for us:
“Keep doing good. Don’t forget to be awesome, and such. Don’t just let things happen, the world does not have to be the way that it is. We don’t have to accept it as it is given to us, we can make things better one day at a time. One baked bean at a time. One dollar at a time. One vote at a time. One livestream viewer at a time.”
Hank returned to hosting with John before their families joined them for the last bit of the stream.
It was snowing at Hank's house, so Orin brought an umbrella when he joined Hank. It was a surprise twin with the umbrella that scared Potato earlier!
Conversation continued about the mascot for this year. Silly Ray Cyrus and The Concept of Surprise Twins kept going back and forth. John strongly advocated for Silly Ray Cyrus because one of his bits had never been the mascot before (even though many of his bits were included in the concept of surprise twins). John's pleas convinced some donors and Silly Ray Cyrus won the poll.
Hank popped a balloon just to see what it would be. It was Jarrod. No one wanted this.
Another Tiltify poll asked how people felt about Jarrod, with the options being "PRO (I enjoy him for some reason)" and "ANTI (The worst)." Despite losing the poll (again) Jarrod was added to the P4A website.
In the last minutes of the stream, we beat the previous record of money raised. This was the biggest Project for Awesome ever!
The stream ended with a gif from Saturday night of Brennan Lee Mulligan eating a twinkie in one bite while dancing.
At the end of the livestream, $1,755,737.69 had been donated on Tiltify, bringing the total to $3,572,322.69 raised and 119,714 votes cast.
At the end of the voting and donating period, we had raised $1,923,037.69 on Tiltify, bringing the total to $3,740,594.69 and 169,383 votes cast.
