yep oh where did we get them uh i tweeted and i put a youtube community post got like actually a ton of response oh thanks guys i have a question why does youtube keep costing down the gold play button yeah how am i supposed to put this on display next to my other ones when it's like i mean look you're not gonna like this but i kind of like this one what's wrong with this i love this i'm not saying it's not nice it's tasteful it's just cost down it's cheaper i like cheap things so do you i do okay guys let's uh let's start off these questions well before before that i just want to say we you know obviously we're doing this because we hit a million subscribers on techlinked and that's awesome we asked you uh for your questions so we're going to uh we're going off a twitter rightly see how flustered he is i'm having so much fun right now just how we talk i'm co-hosting i'm hosting in front of you it's like it's like it's like hosting in front of my dad so what do we have here let's start off with a what is it that would say you do here well so many people think that dennis is just like like a quirky on-camera personality and what else do i do like they're like they don't know that he actually edits the videos yeah like a lot of them i mean he could be a lot of people maybe we could just hire people just to be quirky on camera that's all i do that's me question number one mark facebook berg on twitter says what made you think this quick news sector of content was a viable option which is a great decision i must say and how long has this channel idea been in the works before the first video on TechLinked so going back to the original netlink i was just looking for a cheap fast easy way to hit my video quota right and covering current events was a way that with as little effort as possible i could crap out a video that you know was very low risk you know there was no motherboard that could die while i was in the middle of filming that would make it so that all the effort up until that point was wasted and it was also an excuse to cover current events at ncix which was our way of disguising um like product announcements and new store grand openings as news but really they were marketing and you're talking about netlinked weekly way back which is the first kind of iteration of this thing yeah it was a weekly tech news show not a daily one yes and then when i came on at ncix we started doing it daily and called it nettling daily instead of weekly episode 11 was uploaded in september 2012 so yeah so it was only around for like a year yeah so nettling weekly nailing daily and then after the fall of ncix in 2017 i don't even remember anything it was 2017. yeah after ncix declared bankruptcy i saw an opportunity to take content that the tech community loved which was netlink daily and just bring it under the LMG umbrella um i mean who else was going to have a chance to go and negotiate the ncix channel away from the ncix management unfortunately it wasn't a matter of convincing the ncis management we actually got that far it was a matter of the creditors that were after ncix's assets maybe having a reasonable claim to the ncix youtube channel that made it so that it made no sense for me to go through all the legal red tape that would be involved in acquiring it so so my goal had been to get the band back together and just take over the nci xcom channel and rebrand it yeah that was what i really wanted to do and then alternate universe failing that i settled for just starting a new channel and bringing you in to start that from scratch now as for weather still not scratch scratch scratch is the opportunity that anyone on the internet had just just do the same kind of thing okay yeah we have the host so we have a similar name yeah scratch with a gigantic kick in the ass out the door from Linus tech tips yeah okay so then uh leading on from that we got jan plushburger those are my favorite kinds of burgers yeah uh who asks who and how did you guys come up with the name tag linked oh oh my god i had so many names that i liked more than tech length yeah so we both won right i remember you guys gave us a couple options are you looking in your email yeah i want i actually want to see them all clinked pronounced clinked so we leave off the t and e but it would be like an abbreviated TechLinked what tech brief what is it clint yeah that best and latest in tech or blt uh quickie news uh and then he spends the next emails arguing with me about TechLinked because i said i like that one i think that oh no go ahead embarrass me you had ShortCircuit and patch notes yeah oh patch notes yeah i like that one too memory leak tech synced tech refresh input source the daily upload quick tips so here's riley's short list as of march 5th 2018. techsync the daily download slash the download the patch dot dot dot dot maybe TechLinked it sounds nerdy as hell but i figure i could make some good uber nerd jokes with it oh wow again i'm in no big rush to get started but do let me know if there's an update to the channel situation i'm in no big rush so that was when we were trying to figure out how to get the ncix tech tips channel still riley's just sitting there in like employment limbo well i was that wasn't a real job i was doing a food show because i love food that was a sarcastic um proof that riley is an incredible actor is him pretending to care about food on that show yeah i know right oh yeah yeah link i actually kind of like tech links was like it makes the most sense it's like it's TechLinked it's nat links it's the spiritual successor i don't even rhyme okay we got a bit of a logistical question now how does the research process go for a video uh also does it happen that you have too many stories for a single video so i guess out of us here i'm the only person who who oh and john and well yeah john john writes he's in this i read over a new person's work once or twice when you were gone right so general i mean okay so i'll just answer real quickly like the research process is basically like i go through a set list of like sites that i have and i just go and open all the tabs that i think are going to be interesting stories and then i go through those stories and kind of like whittle it down until i feel like i have like eight three main stories five quick bits but the time you're missing the time component you see that takes many that well i don't know when these stories are from they're from the day of that's right so i mean if if you guys don't know techlink is fully produced all in one day i come in in the morning and we start it and then we finish it by the end of the day and we're out of there so i don't think that there's tons of other content videos on the internet that kind of do a similar sort of thing i find that the bigger you get the harder it is to make that part of your workflow i mean we have to make a lot of scheduling changes in order to accommodate techlink's rigid upload schedule riley often comes in on holiday mondays and fridays and then trades that for a different day and the same for dennis and that's just to make sure that you guys know when to expect heckling because the thing is like for a global audience around the world not everybody has bc day yeah yes um and this they should celebrate us so how do you choose the stories though yeah i guess that's kind of like a it's an interesting question about what we prioritize because obviously tech news is huge yeah it's a massive uh sphere of stuff everything from computers to phones to like material science is effectively tech right so like kfc doing some wacky app for a faraday cage or something yeah or elon musk drive a type of truck in l.a yeah knocking over a thailand yeah yeah i mean that's a great example of something that's like okay it's not really tech but it's tech related and it's funny so i want to make a joke about that in TechLinked so then i'll include it it's almost more about the persona or who we think our listener is and who we are right i like this little bell like this indeed i'd say a lot of the time it's a balancing act like we'll pick something that's funny and then we'll pick something kind of serious and then we'll lighten the mood with something funny again after that just to keep it just keep it flowing and also make sure that we're keeping people up to date like i've seen so many comments on tech link from people that are like yep this is how i keep up with tech it's like it's like 15 minutes a week very digestible and i find that if there's something that i see that really grabs my attention i can go dig into it further you got all the original articles linked under the video and i can do that at my own pace i prioritize um big kind of announcements from like big companies like samsung or NVIDIA or AMD or valve or apple or whatever any of these big companies if they're announcing something major that will probably be a main story under that i kind of have like you know pc hardware related stuff and then mobile related stuff and like game consoles game consoles and then if there's a game launch i might include it if it's like really interesting this is kind of a question for all of us from johann carlson how do you master the line between cringe and funny dennis um why dennis how about last year yeah you guys i've answered lots of questions i want to hear how you stay between cringe and funny yeah how do you determine when actually i cut out a lot of things that you guys don't see so the mine line is very cringy cringe and maybe a little bit funny so like very cringy parts all gone yeah yeah and i will make cringe part like kind of funny yeah because funny it's like very funny i think we all just aim at funny and some of us idea of funny is just cringe and then dennis just does his best with the crap we give him yeah that's one of the things i actually like so much about the way we do things as a company in general having multiple chefs in the kitchen in some ways you can end up with a really bland product but i think around here you actually end up with just the right amounts of cringiness but all these different flavors um like james is a regular writer on LTT and riley does it from time to time and then i will review the script for it and then for techlink actually that review process generally takes place while i'm hosting it yeah um or it doesn't happen yeah but i'll but i'll review it and then i'll say okay again this was too much and then i might add something and james will go oh that's way over the line then we actually film it and in a lot of cases the camera person will see something and they'll go that was terrible do it over right right yeah and then finally it goes to our editor who applies yet another filter to it so i think if we had to answer how do we tow that line well it's by having you know anywhere from three to four to five sets of eyeballs looking at it right because after the fact uh someone like nick might end up reviewing the video before it actually gets uploaded but it's not all red tape and things getting removed because the other part of that equation is respect for the people that you work with yeah so there's a lot of times where you're watching you're like that was dumb he can keep it not my favorite but someone will laugh at that yeah so a lot of the time i feel really corporate when i talk about stuff like this but we call the um the annotations that we put in a script for what visuals go with which lines guidance and the specific reason that we use the word guidance instead of visuals is that it's guidance it's not a law so if the editor sees guidance and goes that's dumb they have room to interpret it and do something that they think is better so what you're saying is dennis is the real boss of the situation he's the actual gatekeeper so TechLinked we don't actually don't have guidance i did not know that all the stock footage all the stuff for this stuff uh yeah like oh i'll just go there and choose it that's all there's no time yeah yeah right exactly so fix it in post yeah like you know kindness might actually take you longer and without guidance you have you can create more freely and like do whatever you want like i would look somehow look up some memes like say a cyber chalk i just said what's your name yeah maybe something that can relate to the joke that you guys are talking about anything to make what you're saying makes sense in some way what i give them what i give them is just a list of news stories so i try to have multiple sources and like who writes the cute little uh captions right the writer does okay because a lot of the time they're very clever they're like actually one of my favorite parts of the episode it's like what are they go what are they gonna put in there this time you see you see that kind of thing in other news broadcasts but ours are just kind of like they're over there like it's like a parody of an actual dude right right right yeah basically the the worst pun you can come up with is like good uh it's a good candidate yeah anch sony uh says how much is improv and how much is scripted so like Linus is a great example of uh taking a script and just kind of like saying whatever he wants oh your food should be like 30 longer than theirs you're just like off to something else i'm having fun tackling is when i like cut back you know it's cut loose you know i'm just like yeah whatever it's like a tertiary channel anyway who gives a sh thank you okay seriously the gold play button just starts melting okay okay but seriously though i think that's a lot of where techlink gets it's irreverent take on the news was irreverence right unintentionally so um i started hosting uh net linked net linked daily when i would go into the ncix studio on fridays and fridays i was very time constrained because um at the time it was riley chris and was jack there yet and jack they would all prepare the episodes this was before they really started hosting so they would be also calvin calvin and barrett yeah i'm gonna say them too later though later i think yeah that was like so the idea was that ncix was paying me to host their content but not paying me very much so i allocated them about five hours of my time a week so generous i would show up in the morning on friday usually late and they would have all the scripts ready to go and i would read them off the prompter and then it would be up to them to go figure out all the b-roll and visuals and stuff later i was just literally a talking head and then i would usually do the friday episode of uh netlinked and by that time it was pretty much time for me to like get in my car and head back to my studio for a WAN Show so it was like one take policy if you guys like screw screwed it up or whatever i was just gonna trash your joke on camera because they did write in jokes they did write in jokes but like and like intros and stuff and i would just be like that's a terrible intro okay new intro um yeah and then i because the reality of it was i just didn't care but i was so checked out of my job yeah and you get these multiple layers to it too so it started with me criticizing riley's scripts on camera because part of my deal with ncix was i was supposed to be like training these guys to run the channel in my absence yeah so i'm like literally training them on camera you didn't train me and then riley starts realizing well he's gonna do this no matter what i do and he starts writing in bait so then i start taking it then i realize he's doing it and then i'm like no i'm not taking your bait i'm gonna read this stupid thing that you wrote and i'm crediting you with it you know oh my gosh and that is still that's still probably my favorite thing to do when you host anything is to well okay mostly tech like not so much LTT videos but like writing in something that i know that you are not gonna read like verbatim i just kind of like put in it's like a little seed and then i'm like i'm gonna see what Linus does with this and sometimes you just read it out and i'm like dang it but sometimes you just like take it and like go off with it and i'm like yes so this being a Linus media group video we have a sponsor the sponsor is pebble host the premium web hosting solution with affordable pricing you want to host a server for minecraft or arc survival evolved get your rocks off with pebble heads hey i didn't even think about that or just a regular old website pebble host is your solution their minecraft hosting is one dollar per Gigabyte of RAM running powerful xeon cpus and fast SSD storage and all minecraft plans come with a 24-hour refund policy plus pebble host shows their node statistics publicly did you know that i did not know that well you can see their hardware isn't oversold or overused and if you sign up today and use code tech link james okay you'll get 15 off with your first month today so check them out at the link below that's one pebble you don't want to skip hey oh can you tell he's a writer here he's got so many content like that is christopher chan asks how do you do a backflip wow okay the trick is to jump straight up in the air instead of back you want to get to the apex of your jump first and then commit 100 to the flip bring your knees towards your head and back over once you get the knees like over the uh like center line basically your weight will just flip you back over wow did you do that on camera so i don't know how to do a back flip but i used to be able to do a back handspring and even for those uh the trick is don't throw yourself back too much the last time i attempted one i threw myself back onto my head like right onto my head and then i never did one again because i tried to do another one and i was just i was too afraid and if you don't commit like james said you won't make it wow that was way more informative than i expected that question to me okay zane drew asks who would win in a fight Linus versus dennis oh me for sure wait i'm black though too no you're not i'm taekwondo blah blah you're a bailey i'm actually are you really yes i am can you show us a kick okay no no you do a kick okay you do right here do it i'll do a kick i'll do it if you do it don't put him on the spot well let's see come on yeah let's get this get this oh my gosh to be clear that no kick starts like that last time it was like 15 years ago you should have had things okay you haven't done a kick for 15 years okay stand up let me kick your face you should stand oh my god oh my god but don't actually kick him oh Linus knows karate too i think okay i think he will he he will win he's still doing the martial arts no and sims no it's been 15 years for me too i think that i could in a in about with rules and structure i could beat Linus in a fight but i think if we actually fought to the death Linus would win i think what the internet really wants to see though is me versus austin boxing match oh you heard it here first no actually we've talked about it before i'll turn into a real video and i'm gonna be the one prettiest thing that i know it i don't think i could hit austin he's too nice it would be impossible oh he'll just have to talk enough smack okay i've heard him try to talk smack it's pathetic he's he's too nice he you know he doesn't mean any of it you're just like get get in here hug you to death yeah we got a ton of questions about people asking and it's it's fair because TechLinked was a relatively new channel it started in april 27th 2018 yeah last year why that was last year so then a lot of people are asking oh what about that other channel that you know is is languishing in the dirt the one that's more fun than just fun yeah super fun way more fun not quite ultra fun next year when's the next when's the next challenge so we actually talked about this a lot um we're gonna start doing working on it after ces right now have christmas and cs is gonna be a lot of work after that we're gonna start doing pre-production and starting like fresh we rebrand entire channel with different people yeah it still has like goatee and shave his head is he really no it's gonna be Channel Super Fun the dark and gritty reboot i think he might look pretty good um another topic that like a million people asked about was talk linked because we haven't really done a talk linked in a while just give a taste yeah why haven't we done a talk linked in a while riley well that's a good question i honestly don't know when's the last one we did it's probably been at least three or four months it was like a tesla autopilot one or something yeah it was a ryzen launch so talk linked was like a really cool opportunity to kind of have more content like this where we are talking about okay we're not really talking about tech news now but like talking about tech content in kind of a more uh laid-back setting but not quite to the point where it's like wancho why what's wrong with lan show uh because nothing quantum is great great i love wet show there's a good chance of seeing more talking to than your free stuff yeah because uh you learned that if you say in a meeting and a writer's meeting on monday hey i'm not doing an LTT video this week i wanted you to talk like that apparently lana said that apparently that yeah and secondly we've just been uh running more smoothly on LTT lately where the bottleneck isn't the number of scripts we have ready for a few weeks running now right it's usually just Linus's time so i would love to do more TechLinked and a lot of people have asked as well about having other people from the company on and like people have asked about having guest hosts host TechLinked so like maybe we can do that it's gonna be super cool i don't know how guests are we talking like outside the company um well there's a few different questions there i think people were primarily talking about like youtubers like if if we have other youtubers here i didn't even think about that but like yeah we had austin do a Techquickie once that was cool this is more back to kind of logistics does riley or the other writers ever experience burnout when writing TechLinked episodes well first i should ask you if you experienced burnout no because it's usually pretty short that's a lie like burnt i mean a foreign people subscribed we need to be we owe them honesty okay burn out buy your jokes yes but like but not by my jokes i feel like editing technique is really fun i don't really get burnt out you're not always the editor sometimes sometimes will be marked sometimes be a prime somehow be what determines that well i'm too busy you're busy yeah okay right yeah um i'm fine okay don't worry about me ask me tomorrow okay yeah when we do tech like this yeah um for me i don't uh i don't feel like i experience burnout from writing techlinked but sometimes there are like just not very many tech news topics going on you know and i kind of have to scrounge a little bit i'm like oh maybe that's something i can make a joke about where it's like a commitment to the channel where you like we said you have to come in on holiday fridays or mondays when other people are having a long weekend that's never really bothered me because i traditionally haven't had very many jobs where i got the stat holidays so so it's like i'm used to kind of working uh stats anyways and usually i kind of like make up for it by like lttstore.com the most drawn out sometimes i make up for it by like taking a day off another day or something but i i i definitely don't i don't feel like i'm like uh tackling them so because part of the format is that you're talking about something different everyone was new yeah yeah it's like oh what and it's kind of exciting because like it's right in the name news it's new tech do you find your selection of topics has a lot to do with what you're interested in like let's say you see that there's a big cyber security thing or like a big crypto heist or something then you don't really care much about it but you see there's just pages and pages on forums about it so the world is interested yeah you find that you just cover those just as readily or try to avoid them no definitely and i see that from like john too when he writes and uh i noticed it when the other some other people were writing is like uh we definitely just kind of a lot of time we include what we care about because that's what you can talk about like i'm not gonna conclude i'm not going to talk about this one company like publishing or launching a network switch because i don't really care about that but to someone else they might be like whoa the network switch has that many things Ethernet ports wow yeah so it definitely depends Linus this is mostly a question for you uh what is the five-year plan looking like for Linus cat tips and could we have the cats do tech reviews from time to time you have five years to get these tats you really have to snap on tech yeah new talent ouch i think the best five-year plan i could give for it is if for whatever reason Linus media group went completely down the tubes just like collapsed in front of me Linus cat tips is technically the intellectual property is owned by me personally so that could be the channel where i still upload like you know videos about how perhaps uh it's day 426 of not having a job because i show up at interviews and people are like what are you doing applying here weren't you famous and uh so yeah i'm you know i'm eating i'm eating raw macaroni now because we don't have power to heat up the water you know like i figured that's what i could use for that you have to sell your cats yeah yeah i had to sell the cats now what if TechLinked overtakes LTT and subs somebody asked that chuck chalkboard history wants to know that'd be great actually what's the plan so we went we made it to a million so what happened when Linus tech tips overtook ncix tech tips and subs was there was a mutiny and the staff of Linus tech tips took off and started their own company with blackjack and hookers and then some yahoos were brought in to run the ncix tech tips channel and the Linus tech tips crew was brought in to train them and then eventually ncix tech tips went away and those guys hired those guys so conceivably you could be running TechLinked media inc if that ever happens and and i'd be bankrupt i was thinking you would be the one who would go and start a new channel and we'd all be stuck here with Linus tech tips no no no no i was i was talking through what happened yeah yeah where was the blog sorry sorry it was before you started eliot roberts asked do you ever miss ncix tech tips what would i miss about it oh dang i have everything that i ever had there but like better no bigger better crew with like more tech and more channels and fewer restrictions like i can do whatever i want here honestly i feel the same way i feel like i have nostalgia for nci detectives because you like you look back and be like oh man that was i remember that room yeah that room certain people there was a lot of there was a lot of space in that that cool that was like kind of like a modern studio we had when we moved over to the other one and uh yeah it was fun but like uh do i wish i was working there instead of here uh no this is like an actual uh company where people are legit and aren't uh shady or you can uh have true friends um yeah 100 uh martin ross asks how long does riley's hair take to do in the morning funny story i don't actually do my hair in the morning i put my head in the shower in the morning because it's very thick and straight and if i don't do anything with it it'll just be floppy all over the place put the head in the shoe in the shower get it wet and then put a hat on i mean i dry it and then i put a hat on and then i come to work and then i do it because then it's already kind of in the shape i i can kind of see actually i can kind of see there's a bit of a hat line that's that's the downside uh supreme joe asks make dennis host in mandarin no no one's gonna watch that actually i think i saw like at least five or six people asking for that specifically really yeah oh i don't think that's i don't think that's a very good idea like well we'd have english subtitles oh you know how hard to subtitle stuff but my video yeah it would take actually it would take a while i don't think that's a good idea because i've been told that apparently he's just as hard to understand in chinese as he is in english really no no what do you mean yes andy says yes oh that's hilarious you say that you're at that horrible in between where your chinese is fading and your english isn't perfect yet so you're just like he speaks no language who am i colin shofild asks you said the nice thing about tackling was that anyone can do it so can you guys have janice from accounting do one i don't know you'd have to ask her i thought i sure let's ask janice anyone can do it well basically anyone can i think our audience is pretty tolerant though like if they know it's someone's first try i think they're a lot more forgiving you can have people host where they think that they're not going to do well and then they actually turned out to like be awesome like Yvonne was like so scared the first time she hosted and i'm like you'll be fine don't worry about it and then she like had she was she like blew through it she's petrified of everything yeah yeah she's like she's like the her biggest flaw is that she just like is afraid to do anything she's afraid that she'll like suck at it it's like and then turns out she's like it's is that an asian parents thing no no i think i think she's just being humble is it about being a parent no it's not humility when you're like oh i did so bad on the test and it's like 98 and a half out of 100. that's not humility that's just like obsession she thought she was gonna do poorly on the roast as well i know oh yeah god yeah she tried to back out of it she was like i'm not gonna have any material i'm like you are literally my wife all you have to do is stand there and say my penis is small and you'll get a standing ovation and she did and she did and it happened okay guys it's about time uh we'll end off with uh one from userbotted and he asks when will it be time for quick bits now it's time for the quick bits there's no quick bits in this video but i actually do want to ask you a question that we haven't got to previously why don't you say quick bits i said it once you did it because i made you say it no i said it by accident like yeah that's what i mean a while ago i just i totally was based on it yeah but you really recorded it you didn't keep it in you wouldn't no no no i i it's in an episode somewhere people will have to go look for it what's the story though because i actually forget why you don't say quick bits oh because it's like i think going back i thought it was stupid because the stories are a lot of the time just as significant and just as long as the other ones yeah so i was like what is this arbitrary distinction between buttquakes and maine's topics they're a little bit buck but quacks i think initially it was something that you like didn't want to say kind of as a joke and then maybe and then now it's kind of turned into a thing where it's like i have to come up with something for you to say i'm gonna not quick i'm gonna confess the joke meant so little to me that when we first started doing TechLinked yeah and you were like all is he gonna say it is he not gonna say it i had no idea what you were talking about no and the audience was all like talking about it in the comments i was like was this even a thing i didn't even remember it i only started doing it again because you reminded me wait what do you think that means for new viewers like they're watching them he's like time for the box they're just like huh what the hell i definitely have thought about that a few times i'm like this is going to make no sense to anyone who hasn't seen the show before but on the other hand that's kind of the show already all the indian trolls doesn't make sense yeah yeah people click on this video and i'm like talking about how i just caught them with their pants down or something and they're like wait what all right well i don't know what else to say that was fun it was that was the information let's do it again whoa 2 million 2 million there's no plaque for that yeah can they send you another one we'll just put this plaque there again and like write two on it yeah yeah yeah that might be so stay tuned guys as soon as youtube revises the design of the gold play button we're gonna get Channel Super Fun resurrected for you guys and uh we're gonna earn another one that's my life's goal now i'm not real focused on ruby play buttons or whatever pewdiepie got and the brofist or whatever for 100 million i can't remember it doesn't matter the point is i'm i'm never gonna get there so i'm just gonna i'm just gonna collect all the gold ones well that's it guys
