okay oh hello
follow me well i carpool with riley and he's
usually in front of me when we walk in the building in the morning and he does
this thing he says good morning like exuberantly
i think it came from the roast morning
morning Anthony all right it's dumb but uh
that's our riley
not everyone likes my mornings
so the very first thing i do when i get to the office is openmonday.com
it's a pretty awesome platform for project planning and tracking and stuff
so and i have my dashboard set up so i have all of the tasks that we need to
complete for TechLinked right there when i when i get there they actually
auto populate every monday wednesday and friday so that's pretty awesome monday
is basically perfect for our needs but they also have a ton of templates that
make it super easy for teams working NVIDIA production or marketing or sales
so gotta start out with finding the actual sources uh for the video so i
start searching for uh news aggregator sites that have kind
of like they get all the big stories for the day and then i will just open every
story in a new tab and just max out my tab count
telling is for people who don't have enough time to watch the full news story
the shorteners concentrate everything on
one pack put that into your face
and you have to suck it hey Jake
and note 7 is the one that exploded right yeah that's the exploding one
eight or nine we're not that's floaty at all no
okay so once i've gathered all my sources and
i decide what today's stories are going to be for TechLinked i go to monday.com
and i click done on gather sources and
because of the automation that i've set up that'll actually send a notification
to dennis and then he can start screenshotting them and putting them in
the timeline it's one click and it's all done you know it's like we're it's like
we're telepathically linked we're like we're so in sync
finally riley is always late from writing script
but when i see notification pop up makes me want to kill him less
let's do this
okay so i got all the sources but we have no time to waste he's still i don't
know what he's doing he's still writing a script but i got all the sources i got
here i label them all in different colors
and now what i have to do is i put them on the timeline first
and do all those movement see i almost done doing all the movement
for the pictures and riley is not even done writing
who's the real hero
gathering all those stories and getting the script ready can be a bit of a
challenge to do quickly so sometimes
dennis starts to panic a bit and comes to ask me where the script is
dennis i'm i'm i'm going man
i'm sorry
okay like 15 50 minutes okay
so once i've written the three main stories and then i've gotten to the
quick bits section i let the shooter know that i'm
going to be done the script in about 15 minutes because that's about as long as it takes me to write the quick bits
they're quick bits tackling
okay you set up in a moment it's a little late i'm sorry wait
you don't say sorry to me i say sorry brandon i love everything you do you do
good work please continue thank you riley you too
yeah i know i know dennis we're going we're going
there's no one there i'm sorry i think it's really convenient uh not
just using like a group messaging service or something where i can
put in on monday.com that the set is prepared and that it'll notify riley
automatically and it'll kind of keep everyone involved up to date
and on the same page which is so much more convenient
are you ready for tech news yeah uh
tech link 69 it's not 69.
techlinks is a new show but it's also
just kind of a you know a place to hang out you know
oh that's cruel they'll be stuck inside my iot network that's like a black
mirror yeah it's like uh it's like a special hell of baby monitors
doorbells i just got the xm radio joke
now it's time for the quark bars i would describe techlinked as
the tech news but we don't care about the tech news we're just like
we're just like yeah it's a tech news but like i've actually really checked out of this
job at this point and i don't really care if you fire me because that was
really where a lot of the attitude of the original net link came from because
i had three feet out the door at ncix
and uh i just didn't care so it was like it's one take because that's all i have
time for and if it's kind of weird and goofy or i miss something or i don't
like the script i'm just be like yeah this is a stupid joke forget it
more tech news don't give a tech news tech news some more tech news tech news
tech news one of the coolest things about techlink is that anyone can host
it because we're not actually trying to do a
very good professional job of reading you the news
there's a lot of room for people to experiment have fun or even learn and
just get more comfortable on camera
get more comfortable on camera there's no going back for me okay thumbnail time
okay wait oh my gosh i can't believe it
no yeah give me straight at the camera like you're pissed
perfect i love that i love those faces you
make okay thank you
thank you very much once i'm done filming i ingest the
footage and then i update the monday.com which will send a notification to dennis
that he's ready to start editing
okay i can't start editing now
so at this point of the day now that the script is
shot and the footage is safely in dennis's very capable hands
it's time for me to finally eat my lunch
usually pretty late in the day
it's very intense challenge for me every day
and they try to be funny so hard
but as you can see in most of my editing time i'm not really laughing because i
just i don't know it's because the jokes are not funny or just because i was under
really really high pressure these jokes are horrible
so while dennis is editing it's time for me to make the thumbnail so before i can
do the thumbnail i need to find a face that Linus is making that is
suitably grotesque the thumbnail
and usually that means i have to scrub through the video
uh the end portion of the video where Linus makes a lot of crazy faces
and i find that trying to make the face that i'm looking for
helps a little bit with that
hello was he
pranked
there we go
okay review time
riley dennis ready hello sir oh i'm so ready
so ready go
you love that joke that's the funniest joke i have seen in
this in this minus falling asleep is the funniest joke you've ever seen on tech
click yeah what are we even doing that's a tech
linked episode right there yep that was it
that's how you do it bye and that's the end
we're gonna do more right
more attack links maybe
it's not very encouraging
so after we've reviewed it's a matter of dennis rendering the video and then when
that's done he marks done on monday.com i get a notification that it's ready to
upload i upload and publish attach the thumbnail
and that's how you do a TechLinked
