02:03Full Transcript
[00:01] that last year I was planning on doing a half marathon for the Newcastle Cats and with viral conjunctivitis [music] the week before and couldn't get it to clear up. I was basically told by doctors, "Stay away. You'll make people sick.
[00:14] swell will be going in your eye. It will be a disaster for everyone." Anyway, I'm back to write the wrongs of the past and do the half marathon for real this time. people donated for it last year and I didn't end up doing it. their money did
[00:27] still get passed directly to the charity, but I did kind of want to do the donations this year in a way where you get something back for it cuz I feel bad for missing it. So, what we're going to be doing is donating all the money
[00:39] charity this month. And if you want to donate, you can click the join button, sign up for 99 cents, and then you'll get all our early videos this month and payment or do whatever you want. So, everyone who's already a member, you are
[00:53] counted as a donation towards a really good cause. um the Cats and Dog Shelter, which I just cuz I appreciate your support and I think that's a good way to use the funds um and kind of make up for what happened last year. Now, I am also
[01:05] well aware this could seem like a way to get you to sign up to stuff. Um but I was thinking of ways to give you guys videos who donate while also having a way to track how much is being donated. Um cuz I I do still feel pretty terrible
[01:19] about missing things last year. But no matter what you do, you know, there's missed it last year? why didn't you do it? Blah blah blah, which I can totally am I going to do this in a way where it's giving the fans something back
[01:34] who've donated, we're just trying to raise as much money as possible and kind donate beyond it just being like we're going to donate to a charity. So yeah, with where it's it's a bit something a bit extra. Um, and again, if you want to
[01:49] just do the first month, that is fantastic. We really appreciate it and I come September, however much money we've raised there um through doing this, the charity or if you want to actually donate directly to the charity itself,
[02:03] there is a link in the description where you can just go on that um fundraising Really means a lot to me. Um and I appreciate everyone who does that. Now this month, we've already got the XFile season 5 video up. Greenlight is coming
[02:17] this week at some point. Edge of Tomorrow is as well. Twilight part one. And I'm not sure what the last members video of the month will be yet. Um, but it'll probably be either View to a Kill or the XFiles movie. Again, if you just
