0:05
things are slowly falling apart?
0:10
Like when I go online these days,
0:14
it feels like everybody's just so
0:20
It doesn't even matter what you're
0:21
talking about. It doesn't matter what
0:25
or what the subject matter is. It just
0:28
feels like everybody online just wants
0:36
And I used to love going to social
0:39
I loved going online and interacting
0:45
these days I don't even want to do that.
0:48
I don't know anybody that does.
0:50
Just in my own personal experience when
0:52
I go online. And it's definitely some
0:54
platforms more than others, but
0:57
I mean, I love movies,
0:59
but it's a terrible time to be a fan of
1:02
when it comes to social media.
1:05
Because a trailer will come out and
1:06
everyone will tell you
1:07
the million different things that's
1:09
wrong with it, that you're not supposed
1:12
The people who were never interested in
1:13
it or were never going to watch it
1:14
anyway just try to destroy it and tear
1:17
it apart. There's There's two ends of a
1:19
spectrum now. It's not even a spectrum.
1:21
It's everything has to be perfect or
1:22
everything has to be terrible.
1:24
There's no in between. There's no
1:26
There's no place for nuance or boredom
1:29
in the current online landscape. There's
1:31
no wait and see. You have to make up
1:33
your mind immediately, and everyone will
1:35
make up your mind for you. And even just
1:38
in the gaming sector, which I adore, I'm
1:41
so involved with gaming all the time,
1:43
but a trailer for a game will come out
1:45
and people will tell you that the women
1:47
in it are too ugly and use AI to fix
1:51
to be more appealing, to be more sexy.
1:54
There's definitely a a subset of people
1:57
within the gaming community that are
1:58
really just driving things backwards.
2:01
Now, this topic is clearly bigger than
2:03
any of us. It goes much deeper than
2:06
anything that I feel like I have the
2:10
talking about. I don't think I have the
2:11
abilities to dig into something so
2:17
despite what you see online with people,
2:20
I do genuinely think that most people
2:23
out there are good people. They just
2:25
don't often get a chance to showcase
2:27
that or to show how good they can be.
2:30
And that's what I'm really good at is
2:33
rallying people together to try and help
2:35
them fight for a specific cause. And
2:39
every year we come together to do just
2:45
That's right. It's back and it's bigger
2:48
and better than it's ever been before.
2:50
We didn't do Thankmas last year, but
2:52
this year we're going hard and we're
2:54
partnering with Make-A-Wish. They are
2:57
such a good organization because they
3:00
bring people together and I've seen it
3:02
firsthand. I personally have granted
3:04
over 30 wishes with Make-A-Wish. I've
3:06
gone to conventions to do them. I've got
3:09
to be in the room while everyone's all
3:10
together and it's all smiles all the
3:14
I've done them over Zoom. I've had them
3:16
bring people to Brighton to meet me. And
3:19
every single time I leave so uplifted,
3:22
so happy, so enamored by the fact that
3:26
not only do they bring people together
3:28
as a community, they do good work and
3:30
it's just so positive and nice all the
3:32
time. Thankmas. Make-A-Wish. Wishmas, if
3:36
you will. Now, I said that I have
3:39
granted over 30 wishes on my own, but
3:41
our goal as a community as a whole is to
3:47
But, what does that actually mean?
3:54
Don't mind them. I'll take it from here.
3:57
What it means is that every $10,000 that
4:00
we raise during Thankmas is one wish
4:02
granted. Now, a lot of you at home are
4:05
doing very quick mental math out there,
4:07
and it's not even that hard, but
4:10
But that means that 300 wishes
4:16
Now, that seems like a lot of money, and
4:20
But I've got an ace up my sleeve.
4:24
Because Thankmas isn't just happening
4:26
once this year. Thankmas is happening
4:28
now until the end of the year. That
4:31
gives us 5 months to be able to raise
4:33
money. I'm still going to stream in
4:35
December for Thankmas, but announcing it
4:38
now gives us so much runway for all of
4:41
you out there to get together, form
4:45
get your pets, your family, your
4:47
neighborhood, your school, your friends,
4:49
your audience, whatever you have, to
4:51
start your campaigns. It gives you way
4:53
more time to start planning. Now,
4:56
all of you content creators out there,
4:58
any of you large, small, in the middle,
5:01
whatever size audience you have, please
5:04
sign up to do this. I can't do this on
5:07
my own. I'm no Superman. Scrubs
5:09
reference. So, I need your help as well.
5:12
Any of you who want to get involved, you
5:13
can sign up. You can go to the link in
5:15
the description, to make your own
5:20
But that's not the only ace I have up my
5:23
Because thanks to the generous
5:25
supporters of Make-A-Wish, everything up
5:28
to the first $500,000
5:30
will be matched dollar for dollar,
5:33
making you an even cooler, sexier person
5:36
if you start a campaign now. Everything
5:39
that you raise is going to get doubled.
5:42
What more reason do you have than that
5:43
to start raising money right now? It
5:46
makes it even easier. So, the race is
5:48
on. Who's going to be the first one to
5:49
start a campaign? Who's going to start
5:51
raising money first? Which community
5:53
will come out on top? Is it weird to
5:55
make charity competitive? No, because
5:58
I'm serious and I want to raise the most
6:01
amount of money that we've ever raised
6:02
for Thankmas. I want to go big or go
6:05
home and I hate going home.
6:08
So, there you have it, folks. Thankmas
6:10
2026 is underway. The Wishmas race
6:13
towards the end of the year to raise $3
6:15
million for Make-A-Wish starts now. If
6:18
you want to sign up, again, go to the
6:20
link in the description,
6:21
thankmas.tiltify.com.
6:23
Or, if you know anybody who wants to
6:25
sign up, please spread the word as far
6:28
and wide as you possibly can, especially
6:30
to you creators out there who have
6:32
massive audiences who could really help
6:34
raise a bunch of money. If there's any
6:36
companies out there as well who want to
6:38
sponsor Thankmas, please let me know.
6:40
It's all going towards a good cause
6:42
because if we all come together and we
6:43
all try our best, we can do something
6:45
incredible for children.
6:48
Because I don't know about you, but I'm
6:50
getting pretty sick of seeing all the
6:51
same cynical, negative all over
6:54
my timeline all the time. I'd rather us
6:56
all come together, focus our efforts,
6:59
and do something good for a change.
