WEBVTT

00:00:02.080 --> 00:00:10.400
and we are live we're live on the WAN Show with our

00:00:07.439 --> 00:00:16.800
special guest Jay's t i take I take special very serious

00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:21.439
very special guest the specialest guest the greatest uh you know what's actually

00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:28.880
kind of funny is it didn't occur to me until we were already live but it is

00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:32.719
possible that we still have the lower

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:34.040
third from no we do not somebody cleared

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.520
out that folder that would have been super cool if we still had like an

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:41.120
ancient lower third from having you on as a guest like two years ago three

00:00:39.680 --> 00:00:45.600
years ago it was probably more like three yeah wow probably more like three

00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:49.000
so um let's uh let's do a quick rundown of some of the topics that we want to

00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:53.000
discuss today actually I've got one that I'm not sure if is in the dock but Jay

00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:58.760
you and I both released videos discussing the X 299 platform and sort

00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:02.800
of gave some thoughts on it um you know I'd love to kind of

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:05.560
head tohe about it and kind of exchange some of those thoughts I'm the audience

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:11.600
would love for us to flesh things out a little bit so uh I'm all about fleshing

00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:14.200
out if you know what I mean and

00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:19.520
um see how much awkward silence I can get I got a good two heartbeats there

00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:24.320
yeah yeah that was solid um and uh We've also got a lot of Apple news this week

00:01:21.600 --> 00:01:28.040
that I'm sure everyone is going to have an opinion on because some of it looks

00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:34.759
amazing and some of it looks like it should be amazing but actually

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:37.000
um wait is this seriously not not in

00:01:34.759 --> 00:01:42.600
here in detail okay that's fine we can we can get to that later so um yeah

00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:47.000
without further Ado let's roll the intro and get right into this CU there's a lot

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.000
to cover today

00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.560
y I can hear it Oh wait we're on the same thing now

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:12.560
sponsors for the show Savage

00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:16.599
jerkey fresh books and cable

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:24.920
mod okay so why don't we jump right into

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:26.680
the big highlight from the I didn't put

00:02:24.920 --> 00:02:31.000
the guest up there he is uh why don't we jump into the big highlight from Apple's

00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:34.920
event oh and I just realized we don't have Jay

00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:40.800
when I'm sharing my screen so we're just going to have to do the screen shares really quickly so this is from The Verge

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:46.560
the eight biggest announcements from Apple WWDC

00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:50.280
2017 number one apple announces the

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:52.560
homepod speaker to take on Amazon Echo

00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:59.360
and Sonos so can I kick this off by

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.920
saying who here actually uses Andor

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:07.000
desires my grandpa all the time same with my mom okay so tell me exactly what

00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:12.400
it is that people are using I almost have no idea speakers for

00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:14.319
um I think part of the idea is that it's

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:18.080
it can be louder than your phone automatically without having your volume

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:24.480
settings already on uh I think it's more responsive to voice from further away

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:28.599
I'm assuming those things are uh what

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:32.120
it's for I don't use it Jay what do you

00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.439
got uh uh but yeah my grandpa and my mom

00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:37.519
are both very I was so unenthusiastically like not following

00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:40.920
anything to do with apple until I saw the Vega thing which I'm sure you're

00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:44.080
going to talk about but yeah yeah I was going to get to the important stuff

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:49.200
later yeah I mean I don't know I could see like my dad who's fairly disabled

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:53.680
liking voice command stuff but I mean I can't bring myself to get an Alexa or a

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:57.720
Google home so why would I want this like I think part of the idea is if

00:03:56.079 --> 00:04:01.200
he's like watching the TV or like cooking food or something and he just

00:03:59.200 --> 00:04:06.640
doesn't even want to pull his phone out he can just talk to it and it's fine uh

00:04:04.519 --> 00:04:13.480
wait hold on a second apparently Jay is way out of syn he wasn't um he looks in

00:04:11.079 --> 00:04:13.480
sync

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:20.639
here uh

00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:26.280
ah see I bring the old Tech talk Mantra with me wherever I

00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:28.680
go oh it's slightly behind yeah oh

00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:35.800
people are like yeah he's way out of syn 100 to 200 milliseconds yeah it's yeah

00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:41.960
okay um I mean there's only so much you can do with video over IP right wow okay

00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:47.479
you know what I think we're just not going to care at all so okay so

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:50.600
basically I I'll say this I I have a Sonos speaker actually I have a few

00:04:48.880 --> 00:04:56.360
Sonos speakers and what I really like about them is that you can turn on one

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.639
room or two rooms or a bunch of rooms um

00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:02.320
I do think Sonos speakers are overpriced so for Apple to come in and say okay

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:08.280
yeah we're going to have a home speaker that

00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:12.600
um is you know sounds great and is also

00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:14.639
a competitor for Sonos and also happens

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:20.039
to have Siri for if you're wondering like how tall the average giraffe is or

00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:25.560
whatever sure then I I guess there's I guess there's some utility there but I

00:05:21.960 --> 00:05:28.840
can't figure out who is actually using

00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:31.440
Apple homekit stuff and I can't figure

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:37.639
out what EX L it is that people other than me have figured out how to do with

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.880
Siri that's actually useful that's one

00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:43.840
of my bigger questions is cuz like I and

00:05:40.880 --> 00:05:48.039
I feel like it was actually better before have you had that experience I

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.400
feel like my voice activated stuff has gotten worse over time almost every time

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:57.479
I go to you Siri like here let's do a live

00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.479
demo hey

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:03.360
Siri hey Siri

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:09.440
can you set a reminder for me to pick up my kids at 10 p.m.

00:06:05.960 --> 00:06:11.039
tonight okay I'll remind you okay well

00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:17.880
whatever managed to get it right after not hearing me the first time but like

00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:20.639
so many times it'll it'll get the uh

00:06:17.880 --> 00:06:24.520
it'll have like the time in the reminder and it'll be like oh well when would you

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.800
like to do that like holy crap you literally have 1000 p.m. right there I

00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:32.599
don't know how I could have been much more clear than that um and I've just

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:38.520
been so frustrated with it lately that I just can't imagine myself buying a

00:06:35.039 --> 00:06:40.160
dedicated Appliance just to be mad and

00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:44.599
after three attempts pull out my phone and just freaking type it in you know

00:06:42.280 --> 00:06:49.440
when I did my Sono stuff last year um CU I I'm like you I have quite a bit of

00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:51.240
Sono stuff and it really had one selling

00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:54.800
point for me and that was the app controlled volume and whatnot cuz when

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:58.599
you have Toddlers and kids like me who like to crank the TV super loud it was

00:06:57.039 --> 00:07:01.440
just convenient to be upstairs be able to turn the TV down

00:07:00.039 --> 00:07:05.680
having to yell turn the TV down like that one feature alone for me was worth

00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:10.160
it but um I mean in terms of like home assistance and and home speakers and

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:13.039
stuff like that I don't use any of the other functionality built into the Sonos

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:18.720
with with the exception of just being able to switch it and maybe stream some

00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:23.039
music to to play a little bit of Devil's Advocate I guess no one's really

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:27.639
fighting for the other side but um I I I think for like the the more normies out

00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:32.240
there I guess normies is that what we call them now I I guess um I think this

00:07:30.599 --> 00:07:38.199
serves actually a better use case because it fits the like super classic

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:40.360
easy to understand Dynamic of like the

00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:44.159
the person chopping vegetables in their kitchen who like randomly thinks of

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:48.599
something and doesn't want to stop like hey can you convert 34 of a cup to the

00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:51.879
metric system yeah and like apparently it actually does that pretty well I know

00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.080
your phone didn't just pick you up I could see my wife doing that yeah and

00:07:53.960 --> 00:08:00.319
like I know your phone didn't just pick you up very well but a dedicated Appliance a

00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:06.159
$350 Appliance for that I of course though so again back to okay

00:08:04.039 --> 00:08:11.080
so there's two discussions to have here one is is this thing really that useful

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:15.199
and the second one is Will normies flock out and buy it so the I don't know about

00:08:12.960 --> 00:08:19.120
flock out and buy it well but hold on I was about to make an argument there

00:08:16.440 --> 00:08:24.360
because when I was over in Taiwan I uh I stayed at Dennis's parents house for the

00:08:21.039 --> 00:08:27.039
first day because our hotel wasn't

00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:33.599
available to check in yet anyway um and they actually had like

00:08:30.080 --> 00:08:36.320
so many dedicated appliances that my

00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:42.479
zero clutter lifestyle would not allow me to take for free let alone go out and

00:08:39.800 --> 00:08:47.120
buy so like zero clutter lifestyle they have uh they have at home you haven't

00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:51.279
been to my house lately have you yeah well okay I have kid

00:08:48.640 --> 00:08:56.000
stuff yeah I have kid stuff but like okay like my aunt she has everything

00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:01.360
from like she has a dedicated juicer just for lemons and limes okay okay yeah

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:05.920
yeah she's got a noodle maker she's got a okay she's got a salad spinner and I'm

00:09:03.880 --> 00:09:09.880
sitting here going you know what you know how you dry the salad you kind of

00:09:08.160 --> 00:09:13.560
shake it over the sink and you you put it in the bowl it's done you know that's

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:16.480
like it's like the spending too much time on QVC or The Shopping Network

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:23.560
right you're just like oh that looks useful and you buy it but then you really never use it so Dennis's parents

00:09:19.760 --> 00:09:25.440
own an inhome sauna and remember this

00:09:23.560 --> 00:09:30.480
isn't Taiwan like it's not a huge house in Taiwan that's a little bit surprising but I if I remember correctly in Finland

00:09:27.920 --> 00:09:36.200
there's a sauna per person okay sonas are just not that popular in Canada and

00:09:32.839 --> 00:09:38.760
and number two they had this like like

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:43.959
riding thing that I posted on social media that was like an exercise device

00:09:41.640 --> 00:09:49.200
of some sort and I'm sitting here going you know that is like the erotic B Flex

00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:52.279
you know it's like I think it was for core exercises but man did it look like

00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:58.560
and this is what I want to know are people not learning everyone goes out

00:09:55.079 --> 00:10:02.560
and buys a rowing machine or a treadmill

00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:05.839
or an ice cream maker everybody does it

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:07.640
and they just keep doing it what's wrong

00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:13.240
with a rowing machine or a treadmill the fact that you use it six

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:15.600
times yeah but those people are one in a

00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:21.079
thousand that's true that's the point we we have a chocolate

00:10:17.880 --> 00:10:22.920
fountain what like those ones you see at

00:10:21.079 --> 00:10:26.360
like a party or a wedding yeah don't ask me why but how many time how many times

00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:33.519
have you guys used that we've never used it but we've lent it out plenty of times

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:35.600
so basically if if Jay's two cents

00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:40.000
doesn't end up working out for you then you're going to start up a like

00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:46.440
pointless white people appliances rental house kitchen loans

00:10:42.760 --> 00:10:49.000
yeah yeah there is probably a business

00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:54.120
there like like my parents my parents bought the uh bought the slicer machine

00:10:51.399 --> 00:11:00.399
the like v-shaped blade where you can like slice fries out of a potato in just

00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:01.920
like one thing um we had the bamx which

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:08.000
by the way did pay for itself in homemade mayonnaise you can make mayonnaise in

00:11:05.880 --> 00:11:12.240
like minutes with the bamx I'm not trying to sell you the bamx okay but um

00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:17.800
you know we had that one what that is so I really didn't know there was that many people into homemade mayonnaise

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:23.800
yeah I don't think there are a lot of people into it so much as there are

00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:26.760
um a few people that are really into it

00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:33.440
so that makes sense anyway my my take on the homepod is okay it's got seven beam

00:11:30.560 --> 00:11:39.560
forming speakers and a 4-in subwoofer and apparently apple

00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:43.320
is really excited about the sound quality they're going after the Sonos

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.639
Play 3 with extra functionality if it does all this stuff really well then

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:52.040
great but one of the things I love so much about Sonos is that whether I'm

00:11:49.000 --> 00:11:55.120
using an iPhone or an Android device

00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:57.279
this week I can use it regardless so I

00:11:55.120 --> 00:12:02.200
have to see how Apple again that's not a use case for like almost anybody well

00:12:00.079 --> 00:12:06.320
okay I can go over to my parents house and regardless of what kind of phone I'm

00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.680
using I can tap into Sonos and play some music which is pretty cool well how

00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:14.279
about the fact that the Sonos is also its own music server too you can just offload your favorites and create

00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:17.880
playlists on the Sono on your own on Sonos on your own network regardless of

00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:23.480
what devices are hooked up to it isn't it just speakers uh Sonos yeah no uh

00:12:21.680 --> 00:12:27.600
it's no it's pretty Co can can it answer how tall is a average draft no it can't

00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:32.800
do that so then it's not really the same thing though but the logic being that

00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:35.040
that if I'm going to buy a a a ipood or

00:12:32.800 --> 00:12:39.560
whatever the homepod um if I'm going to buy a homepod I probably already have

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.639
one of these in my pocket now I get a lot of Sonos mail because I've signed up

00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:48.320
for their stuff it's like one of the few newsletters I actually pay attention to and I there was some early talk like

00:12:46.880 --> 00:12:52.399
late last year early this year about their being an assistant in development

00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:56.440
so I don't know feel like a new assistant from Sonos probably wouldn't

00:12:53.880 --> 00:13:00.839
be very good considering what Apple and Google and Microsoft have been able to

00:12:57.839 --> 00:13:02.920
do in this long of a Time who knows um

00:13:00.839 --> 00:13:07.560
and considering how terrible everything is honestly I have no faith in a Sonos

00:13:05.839 --> 00:13:12.199
home assistant I just don't need a home assistant no but you're not here's the

00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:15.720
thing all these use cases for smart appliances let's talk smart appliances

00:13:13.839 --> 00:13:19.240
for a minute okay oh oh I'm going to lose now okay all these use cases

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:23.600
they're like yeah what what is it you can uh your

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:27.199
juicer needs to be connected to the internet you're your it's not going to

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:30.959
work like uh I forget who it was I think it was Samsung showing a smart washer

00:13:28.839 --> 00:13:34.760
and dryer and they're like yeah so you could like control your washer and dryer

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:40.360
from the distance I'm like you mean instead of when I actually put the

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:42.120
bloody clothes in yeah just getting

00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:48.160
notifications that your load is done could be helpful we have an LG Smart

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:50.279
refrigerator so okay okay what's it

00:13:48.160 --> 00:13:54.199
what's it do why could why would I care it warns you like when the filters need

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:59.399
to be changed if a door got left open if it's under temperature um and a light on

00:13:56.880 --> 00:14:02.639
the front of the fridge couldn't do that well if the door got left open and

00:14:00.560 --> 00:14:07.240
you're upstairs cuz you're going to bed light on the front of the fridge

00:14:04.079 --> 00:14:09.199
eight-year-old child we have a we have a

00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:13.000
piece of paper on our fridge at work saying please remember to close the

00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:18.120
fridge because works for like days seem to do it I'm just saying these things

00:14:15.560 --> 00:14:22.079
aren't completely useless and I think considering my comment about normies

00:14:19.959 --> 00:14:26.160
being more into Google home and all that kind of stuff the Apple homepod might do

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:29.560
better for them than the watch did so targeting people who can't figure out

00:14:28.160 --> 00:14:32.839
how to close their fridge no but at the same time like like like

00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:39.079
you say it's not going to be very helpful for you because you won't be chopping vegetables cuz you're not the

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:43.880
one do most now ours doesn't least go as far also whoa shots okay you go first

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:48.000
Jay but I have to address the shots fired over there okay ours is at least

00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:53.240
not one of those ones that will like tell you what you're low of in the fridge and automatically link it to your

00:14:51.079 --> 00:14:57.079
Amazon Fresh cart and whatnot I mean we we do have the Amazon Fresh like scanner

00:14:55.399 --> 00:15:00.320
thing my wife likes to use that but there's refrigerators out there that

00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:04.560
will tell when you're low on milk and it would like automatically order it for

00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:07.519
you at least we didn't go that far I can I can but I can actually see that being

00:15:06.160 --> 00:15:13.680
useful whereas the more rudimentary stuff I don't know if I care as much about okay and back to your whole thing

00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:20.360
I don't need to convert metric to Imperial because I actually already know

00:15:15.880 --> 00:15:24.680
these tpoon 5 Ms tablespoon 15 M I don't

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:27.079
care your conversion 250 Ms a liter is

00:15:24.680 --> 00:15:33.199
approximately a c it's a little more a gallon is 4 lit approximately about 3.75

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:39.519
L okay I can convert this crap in my head I don't need an ipood I only speak

00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:42.440
American so I need the help okay not

00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:46.040
everyone can and what if your kid asks you a question and it's of something

00:15:44.160 --> 00:15:50.440
super weird that I'm going to make it up because that's half the fun of being a

00:15:48.839 --> 00:15:56.920
parent Daddy what what does a giraffe do all

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:59.120
day well son giraffes actually play a

00:15:56.920 --> 00:16:03.360
lot of Poker people don't know this because you look at those hoops and you

00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:09.839
think gee how do they even hold the cards but giraffes like see it's endless

00:16:06.880 --> 00:16:17.000
okay you know you make it up no problem my dad made things up to me and I turned

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:17.000
out just fine i' say that explains a

00:16:17.800 --> 00:16:24.199
lot debatable Brandon is yelling

00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:26.079
debatable up your crap Brandon um all

00:16:24.199 --> 00:16:33.560
right probably move on let's talk about the new IMAX because I think basically

00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:36.600
this explains how AMD managed to remain

00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:39.720
so secretive about Vega because AMD

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:42.199
leaks everything but it seems like if

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:47.560
you're going to collaborate with apple and apple wants to be the one to

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:49.720
announce the first desktop you know Vega

00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:54.040
graphics card then people probably ran around the office going okay no look for

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:59.079
real this time for real this time don't leak Vega okay don't leak Vega Apple

00:16:56.959 --> 00:17:04.679
wants to do it and if we don't sell them to Apple we're not going to have a lot

00:17:01.560 --> 00:17:07.600
of customers so I'm Sal I'm salty about

00:17:04.679 --> 00:17:12.000
the whole thing okay all right so hit me hit me okay so am AMD is kind of

00:17:10.240 --> 00:17:15.959
rebasing its whole Foundation right of of community oriented gamer oriented and

00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:20.319
we've been waiting for Vega for quite a while right but I feel a little bit

00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:24.120
stabbed at the back by AMD that they're launching it in an Apple product first I

00:17:22.959 --> 00:17:29.200
mean that's kind of where I'm at with that so when the news came out I basically just kind of like face palmed

00:17:27.679 --> 00:17:33.919
and then turned it off cuz at that point I just felt like I just felt like AMD

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:38.080
sold out on that one now it's no it's no news that AMD Graphics have been in

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:43.120
MacBook Pros in mat for a while but I just feel I just feel like the the Vega

00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:48.120
that everyone's been waiting for kind of go name for and I I don't like it either

00:17:46.679 --> 00:17:52.360
but I'll I'm willing to give them a little bit of benefit of the doubt

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:56.960
listening to what you're saying I hear that but we all know that they need as

00:17:54.400 --> 00:18:00.200
much money as possible so there was some amount of like they're going to make

00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:05.799
more from this if there's some amount of temporary exclusivity deal or something

00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:09.039
then I'm willing to give it to them because it's only Vega Pro then I guess

00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:15.039
that kind of makes sense but I mean we're still waiting for more kind of gamer or mainstream Vega but still

00:18:12.600 --> 00:18:22.600
that's fair right now to my knowledge apple is the only tier one computer

00:18:18.679 --> 00:18:26.120
maker that not forget about being

00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:29.360
exclusive to AMD Radeon apple is the

00:18:26.120 --> 00:18:33.200
only tier one PC maker that even

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:35.120
emphasizes AMD Radeon so I do understand

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:39.159
why apple is getting some special treatment here because even like so I

00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:43.520
got a press release today that Acer is doing like a $799 budget gaming desktop

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:50.039
I was actually thinking yeah we might actually pull it in for review cuz it's

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:54.360
uh um it's ryzen based okay yeah yeah

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:56.480
they still put a 1050 in it wow and it's

00:18:54.360 --> 00:19:01.840
just like okay so part of the problem is that Supply is really tight on the RX

00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.840
card because cryptocurency

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:08.600
important but part of it too is that

00:19:06.159 --> 00:19:13.320
like they're competitive but they're they're not like uh they're not like a

00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:17.840
you know a green team crushing solution at at any level in the product stack the

00:19:15.679 --> 00:19:25.559
twitch chat is so salty that you said tier one what tier one is like a it's a

00:19:21.760 --> 00:19:27.480
term you can Define I know it's not it's

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:31.600
not an opinion they're so upset I mean I mean they're going to

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:37.240
hate who the rest of the tier ones are okay Dell HP Lenova what what did you

00:19:35.919 --> 00:19:41.200
think what do you think I was going to say like

00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:48.720
ASUS MSI I'm sorry those gu

00:19:44.919 --> 00:19:51.880
okay those guys are tier one motherboard

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:57.080
manufacturers yeah but in the PC system

00:19:51.880 --> 00:20:00.559
space Enterprise they are way behind

00:19:57.080 --> 00:20:04.159
okay I'm sorry get over it um so let's

00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:08.200
talk a little bit about the device that

00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:10.720
Vega Graphics are going into um I may do

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:17.640
a dedicated video on this actually just kind of discussing this but Jay hit me

00:20:12.760 --> 00:20:21.159
with your thoughts on an iMac

00:20:17.640 --> 00:20:23.120
Pro um okay so should I should I do some

00:20:21.159 --> 00:20:27.400
approximate specs for the viewers before you kind of launch into it or yeah cuz I

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:32.919
was kind of pulling up something sure okay so let's let's do some context for

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:35.159
you guys so much like the Mac Pro this

00:20:32.919 --> 00:20:41.960
is a balls to thewall machine we're talking up to 18 coron we're talking up

00:20:38.360 --> 00:20:44.760
to 128 gigs of ECC RAM we're talking

00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:50.919
radon Vega Graphics a 5k display four Thunderbolt 3 ports with support for

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:53.000
external gpus so that Vega GPU however

00:20:50.919 --> 00:20:58.039
they're implementing it whether it's mxm or whether it's baked right into the PCB

00:20:55.600 --> 00:21:04.640
um is upgradeable in a manner of speaking up to a 4 TB SSD a 10bit panel

00:21:01.919 --> 00:21:12.400
new black peripherals cuz that's important uh UHS 2 sdx people that might

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:15.799
be into the homepod it is 500 W power

00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:19.360
supply 1080p webcam starting at

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:23.000
$5,000 I mean this to me looks like a

00:21:19.360 --> 00:21:24.919
pretty bananas machine but it's in an

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:30.480
allinone yeah uh I'm a little surprised that they

00:21:27.559 --> 00:21:34.400
spent so much empasis on specs cuz given kind of where they've been over like

00:21:31.840 --> 00:21:40.520
let's just say the last 8 years um I mean you can still buy an i7 dual core

00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.840
right MacBook Pro so it just seems it

00:21:40.520 --> 00:21:47.760
just seems kind of surprising to me that they actually are going with the top tier Hardware this time around cuz

00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:52.080
Apple's always been about software um optimizations right yes so I'm kind of

00:21:49.679 --> 00:21:57.080
wondering experience you buy a product not a spec sheet right me given the

00:21:55.159 --> 00:22:00.760
price to Specs I don't and the fact that it's Apple I actually don't think that

00:21:58.320 --> 00:22:03.480
that price is really like out of whack I think it's right in line with where it

00:22:01.960 --> 00:22:07.520
should be cuz you you could build a similar Intel based system with the same

00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:12.159
specs and spend just as much yeah and that's that's true depending though on

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:17.400
what we are actually getting for five grand cuz that might be maybe that's not

00:22:15.120 --> 00:22:20.640
Vega and maybe that's I mean it's certainly not an 18 core processor it

00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:25.600
does it does say it starts it does say it starts with a 8 core Zeon so that

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:30.919
would be maybe is it eight core does it have eight gigs of ramig up to 15

00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:35.039
yeah you never know how much Apple's going to kneecap something honestly for

00:22:32.919 --> 00:22:38.720
me the thing that I'm that I really take exception with and the thing that again

00:22:36.919 --> 00:22:45.480
I might do like some kind of a follow-up video on here is that they're that that

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:49.200
they're calling it pro that people that

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:51.159
the pro users got upset when they took

00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:57.080
away the tower that you can put expansion cards in and they gave us a

00:22:54.039 --> 00:23:01.760
cylinder that you can clip that you can

00:22:57.080 --> 00:23:03.880
plug expansion devices into and that now

00:23:01.760 --> 00:23:07.240
you know and they did say earlier this year that they're going to have

00:23:05.159 --> 00:23:14.640
something to address the pro user I guess what I want to know is was this it

00:23:10.440 --> 00:23:17.279
because to me professional means modular

00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:21.760
upgradeable it it it means a path to continue using it and the other thing

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:27.480
that really upsets me and that makes that makes Apple's desktop ecosystem

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:33.159
almost impossible to support as a business owner is the unpredictability

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:36.960
of it yeah if we go back for the last 10 years so we we just upgraded our editing

00:23:35.320 --> 00:23:42.279
workstations it was kind of time it had been three almost four years something

00:23:39.120 --> 00:23:45.279
like that and so let's say over a span

00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:48.559
of 10 years if our company were to have

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:51.840
followed a typical upgrade cycle of 3 to

00:23:48.559 --> 00:23:54.880
four years we would have had Towers we

00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:57.640
would have had cylinders we would have

00:23:54.880 --> 00:24:01.559
been stuck with old cylinders thinking holy crap are we going to have to just

00:23:59.120 --> 00:24:06.240
go straight to laptops and then Apple would have dumped an aiio on us with

00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:11.400
that hold on a second I mean what if we just upgraded our displays apparently no

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:16.559
the new pro version is coming probably sometime in 2018 okay which still

00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:21.720
doesn't address my fundamental problem with apple not having a clear strategy

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:25.960
in a professional environment I need to know what my upgrade path is right so

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:31.440
that if I'm going to invest in a bunch of brand new 8K displays from Del let

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:36.520
say exactly I need to know that the new machine that I'm going to have available

00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:39.799
to me is going to make any sense oh wait

00:24:36.520 --> 00:24:41.720
oh this one comes with a with a with a

00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:46.679
display already in it like I just I don't understand Apple's Pro lineup um

00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:50.640
so that's kind of where I'm that's kind of where I'm going with that is this the

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:54.880
first iMac Pro though I'm not sure yes it is I think so okay yep so they're

00:24:53.520 --> 00:24:58.480
just in they're just introducing then the new Pro Line of IMAX but for the so

00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:02.840
then okay based on the hardware available in the iMac are you is the new

00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:06.039
Macbook Pro or excuse me the new Mac Pro coming out in 2018 going to be

00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:09.399
essentially the same Hardware in a tower format with AIO water cooling again I

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:14.640
mean I have to kind of wonder what the next tier of Hardware could be I kind of

00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:20.360
Wonder too like I I would love for Apple to just go straight back to

00:25:17.399 --> 00:25:24.640
basics here's a tower here's where the expansion cards go here's how you add a

00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:29.399
freaking hard drive that's connected to a SATA interface instead of connected to

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:32.320
a Thunderbolt interface for some reason their desktop side of their Enterprise

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:35.399
has always been more concerned with the form factor than anything

00:25:36.320 --> 00:25:42.760
else yeah so I don't know that's that's

00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:48.320
where I'm at on that I'm glad that they do have a legitimate professional you

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:51.640
know high-end great option but um I'm

00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:55.080
I'm frustrated that pro products are

00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:55.080
being treated as basically

00:25:55.440 --> 00:26:02.520
disposable other than being able to upgrade the Graphics which is good but

00:26:01.320 --> 00:26:07.399
the fact that we're doing this over Thunderbolt means that there is going to

00:26:05.120 --> 00:26:12.000
be some kind of bottleneck that exists already and can only get worse so we did

00:26:10.120 --> 00:26:16.240
a a fairly thorough I think investigation where we looked at alien

00:26:13.760 --> 00:26:22.880
weare's Graphics amplifier versus the razor core and found that already with a

00:26:19.159 --> 00:26:25.159
top tier 1080 TI there are performance

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:30.440
differences between a straight PCIe interface and Thunderbolt 3 with all the

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:33.080
extra overhead people criticized us they

00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:36.960
said lus no one's going to put a 1080 TI in that thing and I'm sitting here going

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:41.039
well that wasn't the point the point is that 3 years from now when it is time to

00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:45.720
upgrade your graphics card something with the power of a 1080 TI is going to

00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:48.679
cost $199 yeah and that's exactly what

00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:51.919
you're going to put in it yeah well I played around Thunderbolt 3 for the

00:26:49.880 --> 00:26:55.679
first time earlier this year with you know the external graphics card

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:58.640
Solutions and I saw the same thing you did in fact it was so the performance

00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:03.200
degradation was so bad or even Thunderbolt 3 that I had to get

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:07.840
confirmation that the anywhere between 25 to 35% performance loss was normal

00:27:05.919 --> 00:27:11.120
and Al so oh yeah that's normal okay then what's the point of buying top tier

00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:16.240
Graphics like this when it's just going to dumb down to a tier or two lower on

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:18.960
the graphic Solutions so like you like like you're saying though if if using an

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:22.840
interface like that as the option to stay forward compatible then you're just cutting yourself off at the knees and

00:27:21.799 --> 00:27:26.399
the ankles and everything as you go forward one note about this new iMac I

00:27:25.159 --> 00:27:30.360
don't know what versions I know there's the pro and I believe there's nonpr new

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:33.919
versions the only thing I've seen is of the non-pro but I'm assuming it's the

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:39.039
same for both the CPU and the RAM are both replaceable yep that was true of

00:27:36.320 --> 00:27:45.399
previous IMAX but not GPU still like we're talking about anyways okay so

00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:46.919
that's frustrating um and I I kind of

00:27:45.399 --> 00:27:51.640
doubt people are going to be super hardcore throttled by at least the CPU

00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:56.120
part of that you might be able to get away with the classic Mac thing where you buy the one with less RAM and then

00:27:54.640 --> 00:28:02.000
upgrade the RAM yourself cuz it's way freaking cheaper but who knows

00:27:59.919 --> 00:28:04.760
I don't know it's interesting yeah so I don't know I still haven't decided if

00:28:03.320 --> 00:28:08.320
I'm going to do a piece on it it kind of depends whether I can sort of come up

00:28:06.600 --> 00:28:13.960
with a coherent enough argument but it is something that I've wanted to talk about for quite some time Apple's sort

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:18.960
of schizophrenic approach to professional studio versus Mac Pro Oh

00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:26.799
Lordy I don't well I don't necessarily so it's too early in the surface product

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:29.240
uh lineup line yeah for me to really

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:34.120
talk about you know uh Microsoft strategy cuz right now it's really hard

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:37.279
to tell what it is I I can't discuss um

00:28:34.120 --> 00:28:39.000
one member of the family whatever that

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:43.159
really means yeah whatever Creator means I mean this thing spanks the surface

00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:47.960
Studio on paper anyway performance wise definitely yeah and upgradeability wise

00:28:45.120 --> 00:28:54.279
even yeah service studio is horrible nightmare to get into yeah um so should

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:58.159
we do the big announcement the reason that Jay's on the show today oh yeah

00:28:56.720 --> 00:29:03.880
should we do that now actually you know what no what we're going to do is do it

00:29:00.360 --> 00:29:05.519
after the ads oh get so why don't we uh

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:09.080
why don't we do our sponsor call outs first yeah um hold on I just want to do

00:29:07.760 --> 00:29:14.799
a I want to do a quick tweet do you want to start one of them and then Jade should we just we'll just uh we'll just

00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:18.240
put you away for now um okay I'll I'll duck out of the way okay cool uh sure

00:29:17.080 --> 00:29:24.960
I'm going to conveniently start with Savage jerky box dog can I have some is

00:29:21.919 --> 00:29:27.399
this a new box this is not a new box are

00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:31.919
they still okay uh oh yeah probably I mean how does jerky go bad yeah okay

00:29:29.960 --> 00:29:36.159
should I take on the reaper today what did you do last time I don't remember I

00:29:33.679 --> 00:29:40.200
think I did the second hottest the one that like has more that's five bars the

00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:43.840
one five bars uh yeah the reaper five bars so Savage jerky fairly

00:29:41.600 --> 00:29:47.320
self-explanatory it's it's it's jerky or you can get bacon actually this maple

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:51.159
bacon that's mine you don't get any maple bacon that favorite one where's my

00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:56.159
favorite one I'm going to do the do we have a Carolina Reaper that's already

00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.080
open um there we go yeah there we go

00:29:56.159 --> 00:30:03.799
yeah we got we got an open one this one one's not as popular just to eat for LS

00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:07.279
because it uh oh no we don't have an open one I don't think we've done this

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:12.720
one since the last spot because if you into spicy jerky this is like for you

00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:17.840
I'm not that into spicy jerky there we go Mojo habanero that's my favorite one

00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:22.279
they all come with generally four bars of heat on the front so it'll tell you

00:30:19.600 --> 00:30:27.240
how hot it is moah habanero is a three the reaper is special it comes with five

00:30:25.120 --> 00:30:32.399
bars and they're all filled because it is just more hot than freaking anything

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:36.640
Savage jerky is a sponsor of ours they they use the best ingredients without

00:30:34.159 --> 00:30:39.840
nitrates or preservatives um their goal is to create a snack that is full of

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:44.600
flavor and spice and won't actually be bad for you apparently their inspiration

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:48.159
came from the Flavor of garlic lime and cilantro M I believe that you can taste

00:30:46.760 --> 00:30:50.960
it in almost all of them if you can still if you still have taste buds that

00:30:49.760 --> 00:30:55.639
work after you're done with if you go for the reaper you might want not taste it for long they'll taste it for a

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:59.360
little bit at the start and then it goes away I Don't Fear the Reaper or the wind

00:30:57.600 --> 00:31:03.440
or the rain be like they are come on baby apparently

00:31:01.760 --> 00:31:07.840
outside of this just the traditional flavors most people go for Sriracha

00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:12.639
bacon or Maple Buffalo bacon which makes sense to uh Linus' preferences but yeah

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:17.039
they're pretty freaking good they have a whole bunch of different flavors they're really into the spicy stuff hence Savage

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:22.679
if you're into that so you can check them out over at Savage jerky.com and uh

00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:27.399
once I figure out how to get the package open because apparently they don't have

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:31.480
stupid people proof packaging and I mean I've I've opened them all flawlessly but

pretty good job with that with what that jerky how much did you bite out of it

00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:24.320
honestly I only had probably about a piece this big yeah eating a whole one

00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:26.760

now so Jay you want to do the honors

00:35:51.920 --> 00:36:00.160
what exactly why why why were you in the credits for all the episodes did you

00:35:57.040 --> 00:36:02.319
take away my bacon no where did my bacon

00:36:00.160 --> 00:36:05.480

00:36:03.599 --> 00:36:09.000
I'm not upset anymore okay okay Carry On sorry I got I was about to get real real

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:13.160
Angry cuz I thought my bacon jerky was gone Okay carry on Jay no I think it's

00:36:11.160 --> 00:36:16.480
funny because uh I think Ed put the credits up or after the first episode I

00:36:14.839 --> 00:36:20.760
think the credits were up and showed me there um yep right next to Jonathan who

00:36:19.560 --> 00:36:26.560
uh because it said there thanks for loaning equipment when we needed it and other uh stuff right and some folks

00:36:25.359 --> 00:36:30.440
there's some pretty sharp people out there in the audience and they were like oh I guess we know who the celebrity

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:33.800
judge is and I was like no clearly I loan them equipment that's why I'm down

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:37.000
here and Ed like liked that tweet he's oh yeah cuz I was trying to I this is

00:36:35.839 --> 00:36:41.839

Jay is a very

00:37:12.560 --> 00:37:19.680
impactful member of the cast for the

fourth and final episode he not only you

00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:27.200

00:37:24.560 --> 00:37:31.760
which was very generous and he hung out with us us until the we hours of the

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:35.640

in 2 weeks prior to that so it was pretty empty right compared to now like

00:37:57.160 --> 00:38:03.240
you have to you can't walk sideways to go through down the hallway but yeah um

00:38:00.680 --> 00:38:09.119
no it was it was it was fun because I got to see scrapyard Wars for the first

00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:11.280
time literally from the finale backwards

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:14.400
because it's like okay I see how it ends I Know How It Ends but I have no idea

00:38:13.040 --> 00:38:17.640
how we got here so it was really weird even for me you know because I I knew

00:38:16.640 --> 00:38:21.359
you kept sending me these texts like we're delayed we're sorry we're delayed we're sorry and I'm just like oh my God

00:38:20.240 --> 00:38:26.400
what is going on over there I'm thinking this better make for some good drama and it didn't

00:38:24.200 --> 00:38:30.480
disappoint so for those of you who want to watch scrapyard War episode 4 early

00:38:29.040 --> 00:38:35.319
I'm actually posting a link in the chat Floatplane Club is um our Early Access

00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:40.750
platform that we've got over on the Linus Tech tips Forum that we would love

00:38:37.839 --> 00:38:46.119
to open up to other creators at some

00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:53.200
point Sorry I think some of those coughs are legitimate cu the jerky no not all

00:38:51.680 --> 00:38:58.000
of them but this is the maple bacon jerky okay no this stuff's fine um only

00:38:56.240 --> 00:39:03.720
only the worst of content creators would consider such a platform yeah Early

00:39:01.160 --> 00:39:07.400
Access it does nothing but hurt the audience except when they they don't

00:39:05.720 --> 00:39:10.880
notice that it's happening yeah except when that happens uh also you know it

00:39:09.359 --> 00:39:15.760
kind of helps the Creator there is the whole adpocalypse thing going on that's

00:39:14.040 --> 00:39:19.359
I don't know if anybody noticed that yeah um all right doing okay but that's

00:39:18.359 --> 00:39:25.960
literally killing something should we get back to maybe about 10 more minutes of news and then um we'll bid Ado to Jay

00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:31.640
and bring on Nikki V for one final land show stream yeah did um actually okay we

00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:37.640
kind of touched on this but this is sort of uh sort of a big deal AMD's GPU

00:39:34.640 --> 00:39:39.240
Supply exhausted by

00:39:37.640 --> 00:39:42.640
cryptocurrency so I'll go ahead and screen share here real quick here so if

00:39:41.079 --> 00:39:51.720
you've been running out there trying to buy an rx470 or R excuse me 570

00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:55.040
sorry of honly Freudian slip a 570 or a

00:39:51.720 --> 00:39:57.760
580 um yeah you've probably had a bit of

00:39:55.040 --> 00:40:02.040
a hard time because people are let's see let's have a look at what this stuff is

00:39:59.720 --> 00:40:06.319
so what are these coins I don't even know have you been keeping up with this

00:40:03.319 --> 00:40:07.520
Jay only a little bit see I I realized

00:40:06.319 --> 00:40:11.880
it was starting to pick back up in popularity when it was becoming difficult to Source this because I'm I'm

00:40:10.560 --> 00:40:15.319
getting to the point where I'm just kind of buying and building the systems on my

00:40:13.560 --> 00:40:20.200
own right and not taking sponsorship on everything so I went and tried to

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:25.040
legitimately buy these for for a video and I'm like I can't get any RX based

00:40:22.240 --> 00:40:28.079
graphics card 400 or 500 series uh and it was just like what the heck so I

00:40:26.160 --> 00:40:31.760
started researching it and it seems like we've gone full circle right because at

00:40:29.680 --> 00:40:35.119
the beginning everyone wanted less power consumption and and they wanted the out

00:40:33.880 --> 00:40:40.520
of camera with the what it's actually called when they do the hashing or whatever right and they wanted um they

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:43.880
wanted more efficiency on that so they kind of started coming across with these

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:48.000
custombuilt computers I think Jerry did a really good video about uh you know

00:40:46.040 --> 00:40:52.240
the progression of Bitcoin mining and then I don't understand how we got back

00:40:49.480 --> 00:40:58.040
to here though well it looks like it's ethereum mining that people are really

00:40:54.000 --> 00:41:00.079
into right now ethereum okay yeah so um

00:40:58.040 --> 00:41:04.640
I actually had someone internally pitching to me that we should do a a

00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:08.200
Bitcoin mining update and I was like not Bitcoin but cryptocurrency mining update

00:41:06.319 --> 00:41:10.680
and I was like oh really that again and I didn't really look into it I really

00:41:09.599 --> 00:41:15.640
should have because then we could have been a little bit more uh more topical

00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:20.119
on been pretty huge yeah what's what's the price of Bitcoin right now because

00:41:18.640 --> 00:41:24.880
no matter what people are mining they're all converting it out anyway so yeah

00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:29.200
Bitcoin is equal to$ 3794 Canadian dollars so there a Gold

00:41:27.560 --> 00:41:33.319
Rush again basically yeah I can try to find US Dollars which is that's one

00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:37.839
whole Bitcoin right cuz I think they also you get them in bits right yes you

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:44.640
get part it's 2,824 is US dollar per Bitcoin which is

00:41:41.560 --> 00:41:47.880
huge if you can see the hold what did

00:41:44.640 --> 00:41:49.839
you search um uh just one BTC to

00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:54.760
USD so I'm going to go ahead and share that with the audience here

00:41:51.839 --> 00:42:00.000
yeah so there you go the charts you can see you can see the big yeah you can you

00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:05.880
see it pop up big gold rush back in 2014 H late 2013 early

00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:10.240
2014 oh sorry that was mid 2014

00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:11.800
yeah and it was news mhm and then in the

00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:16.880
last since since the end of last year it's gone from like 500 bucks to over

00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:24.920
2,000 and it's it's very close to over 3K which is pretty insane yeah pretty

00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:27.640
incredible so once again I've missed out

00:42:24.920 --> 00:42:35.240
once again I suck at everything but I'm I'm over it uh what else we got

00:42:30.839 --> 00:42:37.079
here um PCI Express 4.0 specs finalized

00:42:35.240 --> 00:42:41.720
the original articles from tech report and also in other news PCI Express 5.0

00:42:40.040 --> 00:42:47.400
is announced hoay so it's going to be 16 Giga

00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:51.359
transfers per second on tap so basically

00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:56.160
we're we're doubling it again

00:42:51.359 --> 00:42:58.800
um so that's really important on the

00:42:56.160 --> 00:43:03.839
server side of things and less important for consumers yeah I mean I guess it's

00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:08.480
cool in the sense that like consumer platforms that don't have as many PCI

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:12.839
Lanes will be able to run like I mean at this point you're going to be able to

00:43:10.359 --> 00:43:18.880
run in what a 1x slot or like a like a 4X slot what you

00:43:16.200 --> 00:43:22.119
used to be able to run in a hold on a second so that would be an 8X a 16 okay

00:43:21.160 --> 00:43:27.240
hold on a second you're going to be able to run in like a 2X slot which I believe does exist but no one implements it if I

00:43:25.640 --> 00:43:32.280
recall correctly what you would have been able to run in a 60x slot back in

00:43:29.480 --> 00:43:37.400
gen one so that's that's cool right that's pretty cool that's cool are we

00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:39.559
excited throwing stuff into big 16x slot things isn't really going to be a big

00:43:38.640 --> 00:43:45.839
difference though um yeah so it still needs to

00:43:42.680 --> 00:43:48.720
undergo a final review but um scale of 1

00:43:45.839 --> 00:43:54.280
to 10 Jay how excited eh I mean I I don't do my workflow

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:57.640
doesn't really matter that much on on PC e through put but is there a timeline on

00:43:56.319 --> 00:44:04.480
that um well right now it still needs a couple little things um one big question

00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:09.920
is whether or not AMD and Intel will even bother to implement PCIe Gen 4 on

00:44:08.200 --> 00:44:15.119
consumer Parts yeah the timeline could be who

00:44:12.240 --> 00:44:20.920
knows yeah um on the server side of things though PCI E Gen 5 which will

00:44:17.520 --> 00:44:23.079
double it again uh designed to offer 128

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:27.839
gigabytes per second of total bandwidth will allow us to have 400 gabit per

00:44:25.520 --> 00:44:35.160
second Ethernet Solutions like that's super sick that's cool so

00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:37.079
that's like amazing yeah um oh this is

00:44:35.160 --> 00:44:43.280
fun we're already like we have like no contact at Samsung whatsoever because we

00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:44.640
suck um but we saw this earlier this

00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:49.720
morning we were like yeah need to get our hands on some of that Samsung

00:44:46.480 --> 00:44:52.920
announced I think it's a 32 by1 32 by9

00:44:49.720 --> 00:44:54.400
sorry uh wide aspect ratio monitor have

00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:59.760
you seen this have you heard about this yeah it's like three 4x3 yeah

00:44:57.599 --> 00:45:03.480
that's ridiculous and that's that is curved

00:45:02.040 --> 00:45:09.920
right yeah it is geez yeah with free sync yeah for

00:45:05.839 --> 00:45:13.520
gamers that's pretty wild 144 Herz 1 ms

00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:16.800
response time HDR 10 free sync 2 quantum

00:45:13.520 --> 00:45:18.640
dot all the things all the all the

00:45:16.800 --> 00:45:23.119
buzzwords Samsung's one of those companies where like they have world

00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:28.640
class display technology and just no idea yeah like I

00:45:27.040 --> 00:45:34.440
stopped by their Booth I think it was like two CES ago and they were showing

00:45:31.200 --> 00:45:36.559
off like a freesync monitor and they

00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:40.720
didn't have the refresh rate and nobody in the whole Booth I swear I asked like

00:45:38.240 --> 00:45:45.359
eight people including like the guy who was in charge of the monitor section

00:45:42.000 --> 00:45:48.440
knew the refresh rate I'm just like you

00:45:45.359 --> 00:45:50.800
know that's actually like the important

00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:53.960
spec for a gam monitor right now it's kind of like when I was shopping at uh

00:45:52.319 --> 00:45:59.079
Fri Electronics I if you guys have those up there but Fri is Big electronic store

00:45:56.280 --> 00:46:02.599
here in the St and uh I was shopping for panels and I was looking at high refresh

00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:08.280
rate Stu and they had them all hooked up to HDMI so it was like not a single panel

00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:11.359
was actually displaying anything towards like what it possibly could and when I

00:46:09.400 --> 00:46:14.599
tried to explain to the to the manager of that section I was like you need to

00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:17.640
put display ports on these uh he was like no it's HDMI it's fine it carries

00:46:16.160 --> 00:46:23.119
audio too I'm like yeah so basically Point dude my

00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:26.920
wife was with me on that one and even she knew more and she like doesn't care about any of this stuff she was like

00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:32.880
yeah I don't think that's supped supposed to look that way oh man

00:46:30.640 --> 00:46:40.079
terrible all right last one before we bring on Nikki V uh Intel coffee Lake

00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:44.240
CPUs delayed so the rumor that Intel is

00:46:40.079 --> 00:46:47.040
going to be releasing six and four core

00:46:44.240 --> 00:46:51.040
coffee Lake uh processors on their mainstream

00:46:48.760 --> 00:46:55.000
platform uh this year it seems to have been quashed it will instead be

00:46:52.920 --> 00:47:00.280
apparently and this is all rumors um sometime in February of 2018 can you

00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:06.040
imagine how much of a better position Intel would be in today if they had

00:47:02.359 --> 00:47:11.319
brought six core before AMD launched

00:47:06.040 --> 00:47:13.000
ryzen yeah if KB Lake was six core I I

00:47:11.319 --> 00:47:16.440
think they could have but they got very complacent over the last decade on their

00:47:14.720 --> 00:47:21.200
on their own road map and they just pushing stuff off I think this should

00:47:18.280 --> 00:47:27.319
begin the lonus and J collab angry session the the angry the the anger the

00:47:24.359 --> 00:47:31.800
299 talk I want I want to say something real quick I took a lot of FL oh just

00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:36.200
copying L cuz he had a viral video I said that day in compy text I looked at

00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:39.359
Nick and I said Monday we're recording this we're recording my thoughts on this

00:47:37.760 --> 00:47:42.920
this is days before you and I ever talked about it and before your video

00:47:41.240 --> 00:47:46.359
ever went up the difference is you took advantage of walking in the rain you

00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:50.079
took advantage of walking in the rain you went for that whole like depressing

00:47:48.480 --> 00:47:52.559
I'm surprised that that whoever edited that video didn't put a gray Hue on

00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:57.960
there too and just make it super depressing but I saw that video and I

00:47:54.760 --> 00:48:00.319
was like you son of a

00:47:57.960 --> 00:48:04.800
uh but no I I I had I had to do it anyway um I mean there's so many things

00:48:03.359 --> 00:48:10.280
you can talk about right I mean I shot that video like four times cuz I kept kind of dumbing it down I was like I I

00:48:07.680 --> 00:48:13.359
was rambling so long on that and but there's so many things that are wrong

00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:20.359
with that all the way down to uh a pay wall for raid I mean what the hell

00:48:16.640 --> 00:48:22.480
man I just I liked that one I don't even

00:48:20.359 --> 00:48:27.400
know cuz like I'll tell you this like even on the server side so I recently

00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:33.000
rolled out an NVMe storage server so it's got uh 48 NVMe bays and I

00:48:30.720 --> 00:48:39.280
actually had some issues with Intel's rst Enterprise drivers where it's

00:48:35.680 --> 00:48:41.440
limited to maximum 12 drives and that

00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:44.880
was just like a tech limitation that was like a driver limitation it wasn't like

00:48:43.240 --> 00:48:49.440
a pay wall thing they weren't asking for anything it just straight up had no way

00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:56.240
to do that um and I actually wanted to run Cheapo RS raid 5 on that high-speed

00:48:53.920 --> 00:49:02.079
Nas and the reason for that is that I'm doing real time replication of that Nas

00:48:59.680 --> 00:49:06.760
to a separate box so ultimately if I only have one drive of redundancy or it

00:49:04.599 --> 00:49:09.160
just kind of craps the bed I'm going to switch everybody over we're going to be

00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:14.559
editing off the other box while I rebuild it and get everything I mean it'll be inconvenient but it's not the

00:49:11.720 --> 00:49:18.760
end of the world yeah so I couldn't do that because of like a driver limitation

00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:23.160
well now I'm wondering if I'm not going to be able to do that unless I buy an

00:49:20.760 --> 00:49:27.720
expensive dongle because if they're doing it on x299 yeah get like two more

00:49:25.400 --> 00:49:32.680
minutes uh if they're doing it on x299 then they're probably going to do it on

00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:34.040
the server side too right you I I guess

00:49:32.680 --> 00:49:39.960
they could probably go both ways right if you're if you're already paying the Enterprise Solutions on on the on the

00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:45.119
server side of things maybe it would be implemented but then again that kind of sucks too I mean because then you're

00:49:42.920 --> 00:49:50.440
talking about double standards in terms of of their of of their

00:49:47.400 --> 00:49:51.599
just uh their mentality regarding how

00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:57.359
how they want to implement and roll out this stuff to me this honestly feels like they just were caught off guard by

00:49:55.440 --> 00:50:02.680
a lot of of things happening in the industry right now and I feel like what

00:49:59.799 --> 00:50:05.920
has kind of flipped on them a little bit is their official response regarding

00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:10.799
ryen was they felt like the consumers are going to take a weit and see mentality regarding how well they want

00:50:08.520 --> 00:50:15.799
to adopt ryzen I I feel like everyone jumped on ryzen and now everyone wants

00:50:12.359 --> 00:50:17.960
to wait and see with Intel yep because

00:50:15.799 --> 00:50:21.599
and that is such an ignorant like why would why would people wait and see wait

00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:25.079
and see what you're either building a computer or you're not yeah and of

00:50:23.720 --> 00:50:29.520
course ryz in like every other new launch had some had some growing pain in

00:50:26.880 --> 00:50:32.200
the start but so did x99 you know and so I mean it's one of those things where

00:50:30.520 --> 00:50:35.520
like today and that was a big thing I asked a lot of the the motherboard

00:50:33.599 --> 00:50:39.680
manufacturers and odms out there at at compex was are things better on ryzen

00:50:38.240 --> 00:50:43.559
now and they all really assured me like yeah things have matured the drivers are

00:50:41.240 --> 00:50:48.079
good the memory stability and support is there um compatibility is is good and

00:50:46.640 --> 00:50:53.480
they they basically were telling me like hey you should you should maybe try out ryzen a bit again because I did it for

00:50:51.520 --> 00:50:57.160
the first 30 days at lunch had a couple of weird idioc secrecies there but then

00:50:55.079 --> 00:51:01.079
I just kind of moved on to my Intel system which is already together and I

00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:05.799
use it for work but I find myself now like okay I should probably I should

00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:09.880
take another crack at it but I I would love to see the Threadripper stuff only

00:51:07.880 --> 00:51:13.559
because like just like your workflow it's like I would I could take advantage

00:51:11.400 --> 00:51:18.760
of all those cores yeah um but even the 1800x is is a good is a good place to to

00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:23.599
to look at for absolutely cheap Enterprise solution I wouldn't convert

00:51:21.359 --> 00:51:26.400
all of our editing machines over anytime soon just because like I mean you know

00:51:25.359 --> 00:51:33.040
what we're going to have a video coming out where we roll all of our editing

00:51:28.520 --> 00:51:35.000
machines up to 10 core 6950 XS M and

00:51:33.040 --> 00:51:39.200
already on our Early Access people are like yo what what the heck Intel has new

00:51:37.799 --> 00:51:43.720
stuff what about Threadripper what about this what about that stability is

00:51:41.240 --> 00:51:49.440
important and I'm I I've responded there and I'll respond proactively now to

00:51:46.359 --> 00:51:52.960
everybody else um it is no

00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:56.200
coincidence that about 6 months or 4

00:51:52.960 --> 00:52:01.280
months before x99 launched all our

00:51:56.200 --> 00:52:03.200
editing machines moved to 4960x on x79

00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:08.599
yeah there is something to be said for something that is powerful enough and

00:52:05.599 --> 00:52:10.400
has had three years to work out all the

00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:16.559
potential issues when you're talking about a workstation for what we do for

00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:18.319
what we do maturity is way better for us

00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:23.359
than just raw power and cutting edge bleeding edge technology they call it bleeding edge for a reason yeah and if

00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:27.040
it was for myself no problem I'll run whatever random crap beta drivers

00:52:25.280 --> 00:52:29.880
whatever but if I have a room of not necessarily techy people that are going

00:52:28.520 --> 00:52:35.839
to come to me every time there's an issue with it yeah no man and like the

00:52:32.480 --> 00:52:37.200
6950x isn't new either uh no it's not

00:52:35.839 --> 00:52:42.079
upgrade immediately when it launched I'm doing exactly the same thing I'm going

00:52:39.400 --> 00:52:47.240
at the end of the platform cycle and I have no problem with that out of

00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:52.119
curiosity um what's your take on 6950x

00:52:47.240 --> 00:52:54.960
versus 7900k then or excuse me 6900k so

00:52:52.119 --> 00:52:59.040
any particular reason the exq um because the whole upgrade was sponsored by Intel

00:52:57.640 --> 00:53:03.359
and if I can ask for anything I want I might as well take the 6950x it does

00:53:01.119 --> 00:53:08.559
perform in my benchmarking I did a whole video on this a while back marginally

00:53:05.520 --> 00:53:11.799
better got

00:53:08.559 --> 00:53:14.280
it marginally plus plus it just it X

00:53:11.799 --> 00:53:18.440
just sounds cooler yeah that's that's why they have X on all the new ones

00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:22.520
anyway thanks Jay um I have to give the people what they want guys if you love

00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:03.599
me okay thanks man I'm just going to hang up no

00:54:03.960 --> 00:54:12.680
problem Boop all right so this is it my friends

00:54:10.680 --> 00:54:18.480
this is your last chance for Q&A with the one the only

00:54:17.480 --> 00:54:25.359
Nikki V who has some of his Civic cake with

00:54:22.799 --> 00:54:30.319
him so this was a this was a parting gift for for the one and only Nikki ve

00:54:27.520 --> 00:54:33.960
it's his last day today it's a uh it's a cake in the shape of the of the Civic it

00:54:32.599 --> 00:54:39.720
looks pretty good it's a very good Recreation homemade Ivon homemade yeah

00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:45.839
and it's good cake too except one Minor Detail that I can't leave out yes these

00:54:41.920 --> 00:54:47.640
tires these are brown and you know that

00:54:45.839 --> 00:54:51.799
the rims on that thing are orange but I noticed I saw in a recent picture that

00:54:49.680 --> 00:54:55.960
your Civic uh rims are looking a little faded these days mhm I don't think we

00:54:54.040 --> 00:54:58.480
did enough coats the rims are a little faded

00:54:57.160 --> 00:55:02.880
you know want to know something funny about the Civic how long do you think

00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:09.799
it's been since we painted it uh it was in the spring I think no I don't know

00:55:04.839 --> 00:55:14.040
maybe a year and a half year okay so

00:55:09.799 --> 00:55:16.280
um we moved in here I think 2 years ago

00:55:14.040 --> 00:55:22.200
so it's been almost 2 years that's a long time that car has not been washed

00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:25.160
yeah inside or out oh I know inside in

00:55:22.200 --> 00:55:30.319
that time so if the paint were to be damaged or faded wow it makes sense then

00:55:28.319 --> 00:55:33.960
but you know what I think maybe maybe the maybe the rims aren't fading though

00:55:32.160 --> 00:55:38.160
maybe they're just covered in dirt but how are those windshield wipers holding

00:55:35.520 --> 00:55:41.760
up they are most excellent they're most excellent well there you go okay we got

00:55:39.799 --> 00:55:46.640
the questions rolling in who is going to prank Dennis now who are you handing the

00:55:43.880 --> 00:55:50.720
mantle over to I would say who's got the capability I think you have the pranking

00:55:48.359 --> 00:55:55.960
capability but you don't have the time I think Colton has the time but doesn't

00:55:53.359 --> 00:55:59.720
have the ability maybe Colton maybe he's the the next prankster but I don't know

00:55:58.359 --> 00:56:04.079
I think there's some people who could set up a pretty good prank all right and

00:56:02.119 --> 00:56:08.440
of course the number one question we'll get this out of the way so people ask

00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:15.039
other questions where are you going I am going to the lonus tech tips of biking

00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:17.720
called pinkbike.com it's like if you didn't know what bike like if you

00:56:16.520 --> 00:56:22.720
weren't really a mountain bike or anything you probably wouldn't know about it but if you had stepped foot on

00:56:21.240 --> 00:56:27.319
a mountain bike or if you've ever bought one or anything like that it is like the

00:56:25.079 --> 00:56:31.880
The Hub it's like the the only source there's other websites but this is sort

00:56:28.960 --> 00:56:37.119
of the OG gangster ass website that started in Calgary and then kind of like

00:56:34.720 --> 00:56:41.319
grew as the sport became a sport from nothing so pretty pretty awesome so this

00:56:39.319 --> 00:56:46.079
is as much a question for me as anyone else what exactly will you be doing

00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:48.160
there I'll be uh making videos um I'll

00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:53.359
be running around with a guy named Brett Tippy he's like I would say the only

00:56:51.319 --> 00:56:58.200
person I know that is comparable in energy level to you I would have to I

00:56:55.839 --> 00:57:02.880
would I would run a poll like if people who know knew both both

00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:07.000
people I don't know who has more energy you or him so it would be it would be a

00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:11.640
pretty pretty good uh pretty good battle but uh I'll be making videos and doing

00:57:09.200 --> 00:57:16.640
some web content and stuff for them and and uh you know all things biking just

00:57:13.559 --> 00:57:18.880
trying to uh share my love of biking

00:57:16.640 --> 00:57:24.240
with the world you know so I'm pretty excited we got someone asking will you

00:57:21.640 --> 00:57:28.480
collab will I collab there's not a lot of overlap but I don't think it's I saw

00:57:26.920 --> 00:57:34.440
the overlap and I've seen it with my very own eyes it's it would be a Teran

00:57:31.720 --> 00:57:38.160
ebike thing of course oh Lord but ebikes are now like ebikes have always just

00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:40.920
been like kind of a laughing joke of mountain biking like no who wants to

00:57:39.880 --> 00:57:46.720
ride an ebike but they're getting lighter yeah they're getting lighter and they're making them more like off-road

00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:51.160
capable and now there's some ebikes that are like uh somebody was explaining it

00:57:49.520 --> 00:57:54.640
like the whole stigma around them is that they're stupid they're unnecessary

00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:57.760
it's just the bike industry invol like innovating to make people spend more

00:57:56.240 --> 00:58:03.720
money on that they don't need sorry I said I swore on here um but the uh

00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:09.359
what am I going to do fire you yeah I guess so you could today hey you could

00:58:06.599 --> 00:58:14.400
pull the Luke on me today um the one time I actually fire someone and it

00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:18.119
actually means anything but uh they're getting better in like the regard that

00:58:16.720 --> 00:58:23.680
somebody was somebody explained it to me really well and they're like well you know how Downhill Racing oh I'm Falling

00:58:21.119 --> 00:58:27.680
Away Downhill Racing and stuff is always like really intense and whatever but now

00:58:25.799 --> 00:58:30.400
you could have it where you know you're riding downhill and that's all scary and

00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:36.960
stuff but then you're also like really accelerating uphill which is kind of awesome too okay so what's going to

00:58:34.319 --> 00:58:40.960
happen to the Nikki V character we've got people asking about that I don't

00:58:38.520 --> 00:58:45.480
know do we spoil it I don't know I don't know what happens I actually don't know

00:58:42.839 --> 00:58:49.359
well we we do know what happens I know things aren't looking good for him you

00:58:46.839 --> 00:58:54.160
know he's been If he if he doesn't die from you know health issues from all

00:58:51.359 --> 00:58:58.359
that pain inhalation and uh you know drinking sauce and and all these sorts

00:58:56.640 --> 00:59:01.880
of things that are just really not you know going to make you into a healthy

00:59:00.319 --> 00:59:05.680
person I think uh he's going to suffer some serious health complications in the

00:59:03.599 --> 00:59:09.200
future but you know that's just for me I don't know he probably has another uh

00:59:07.880 --> 00:59:14.400
opinion on that one of these let's see what else we

00:59:11.720 --> 00:59:18.119
got coming in here is there a YouTube channel that Nicki V will be on and I

00:59:16.599 --> 00:59:21.480
think they mean Nick Van burkel of course if you mean me I'm not going to

00:59:19.799 --> 00:59:26.119
try and beat that character to death I've tried to keep it as minimal as like

00:59:23.680 --> 00:59:29.599
I know there's lots of it but it's something that can very easily be

00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:33.599
overdone I'll just Tred to do it once in a while I probably won't be doing that

00:59:31.119 --> 00:59:37.640
on my channel but if you want to see my my personal YouTube channel that has

00:59:35.680 --> 00:59:41.440
always existed that you should have known about if you wanted to see it it's

00:59:39.280 --> 00:59:45.839
just called Burl and I post a video there like probably two times a year if

00:59:43.880 --> 00:59:51.599
that maybe once a year maybe I'll put some more up I don't know but like when

00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:56.880
you do videos full time for a YouTube channel sometimes you like don't really

00:59:54.480 --> 01:00:00.880
have time or energy to work on your own channel so it kind of gets neglected

00:59:59.559 --> 01:00:07.280
okay I've got a tough one I'm going to put you on the spot Shan's potion asks

01:00:03.640 --> 01:00:10.720
what is your favorite memory at

01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:13.400
LMG H favorite memory probably most

01:00:10.720 --> 01:00:18.799
intense memory was that prank where you robbed the house and because that was

01:00:15.839 --> 01:00:23.000
like five things at once it was we had a good day like actually painting the car

01:00:21.520 --> 01:00:27.319
this is all in the same day we went to Linus's house at like 9:00 a.m. or

01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:31.400
something started painting the car then we did something else we played

01:00:28.680 --> 01:00:35.680
badminton or something we ate pizza it was like a great summer day we come back

01:00:33.839 --> 01:00:41.079
and then all of this crap goes down with the with the robbery and like I was I've

01:00:38.720 --> 01:00:46.520
never been so fooled and so pranked in my life that I like I was like I don't

01:00:44.160 --> 01:00:49.760
think anyone ever B you again no I don't think so I don't think so Dennis tried

01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:54.680
to get me with that Tinder prank and he almost did like the one where it was

01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:59.400
like somebody messaging me about like uh like hey it's blah blah blah from Tinder

01:00:57.280 --> 01:01:03.599
and then I was like wait I have a Tinder but I'm very like uninvolved in the

01:01:02.119 --> 01:01:08.880
actual conversation part I just literally have it it's almost like a game I don't use it or like I use it but

01:01:06.960 --> 01:01:12.839
I don't like follow up but then I was like what the hell and then immediately

01:01:10.760 --> 01:01:16.799
after I'm like closing my phone that's when Dennis comes by with the camera

01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:21.160
like got you I was like no you didn't I I knew this all along so we've got a lot

01:01:19.119 --> 01:01:24.440
of people asking about LTX and occasional guest spots and I'll kind of

01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:28.359
jump in this is some these are two things or at least one of them that

01:01:26.039 --> 01:01:33.880
we've discussed and I think it's kind of like um this is an amicable breakup but

01:01:32.000 --> 01:01:39.119
it's still a breakup so I don't think either side is really talking about like

01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:44.400
you know here what are all the things that we're going to do together in the

01:01:41.440 --> 01:01:48.119
future the door is not being closed no and I don't think I don't think uh

01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:52.799
anyone's saying that they would refuse to walk through a door that was open

01:01:49.559 --> 01:01:55.520
we're just we're kind of going

01:01:52.799 --> 01:01:58.920
okay we're going our separate ways and everything

01:01:56.440 --> 01:02:03.200
everything's good there's cake um it's been a hell of a ride um it's actually

01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:06.680
crazy looking back at it because now it seems like not a long time but then when

01:02:05.599 --> 01:02:10.520
you think of all the things that we've done in the meantime been crazy there's

01:02:08.599 --> 01:02:15.279
been like years worth of the pace that we go at here I think is like maybe some

01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:18.799
other places like 5 10 years of work that's the amount of memories are you

01:02:16.680 --> 01:02:22.640
expecting a slower Pace cuz like I was you know I don't know I've done a lot of

01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:27.400
reflecting like I'm thinking about know like Germany like the Mexico trip which

01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:30.640
was like M hectic it felt like we were down there for months but like looking

01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:34.640
back at it there was actually a lot of like crazy kind of fun stuff and like I

01:02:33.200 --> 01:02:39.400
do think some of the stuff is the same Pace like I um I've worked with these

01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:43.480
guys once before in California and it was really high Pace but the one funny

01:02:41.000 --> 01:02:48.920
thing was like because I'm so used to like a crazy crazy turnaround that we've

01:02:46.400 --> 01:02:51.920
had here for the last I don't know 3 years m going to do something where it's

01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:56.400
like okay this is going to be a stressful event you got to get like you

01:02:54.319 --> 01:02:59.960
got to get a like two videos done today I was like oh no problem I've been doing

01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:02.440
this every day for like the last 3 years it feels like this shouldn't this should

01:03:01.480 --> 01:03:07.559
be a breeze but I don't know everything's new challenge so uh I don't

01:03:05.240 --> 01:03:12.359
know Pace will probably be pretty high whatever you do you set the pace right

01:03:09.200 --> 01:03:14.480
so maybe I'll burn myself out of that oh

01:03:12.359 --> 01:03:19.319
sorry will there be a replacement editor actually I mean this is something that

01:03:17.119 --> 01:03:25.400
it comes down to sort of responsible business management you know um Nick had

01:03:22.319 --> 01:03:27.000
cut back to 60% earlier this year so we

01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:33.960
had already proactively hired an additional editor just in case um cuz I

01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:36.319
mean it's not been a secret ever that

01:03:33.960 --> 01:03:40.960
your passion is biking and snowboarding um like I remember someone

01:03:39.599 --> 01:03:46.039
I'm not going to name any names but someone before we hired you said I'm not

01:03:44.000 --> 01:03:52.359
sure how long he'll last his real passion is biking and snowboarding

01:03:47.839 --> 01:03:53.799
videos that's funny um I mean you you

01:03:52.359 --> 01:04:01.880
came into a group where you already knew a lot of the people and they obviously knew you fair well M um so remember I I

01:03:59.680 --> 01:04:06.000
remember even when the job was offered I turned it down and then

01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:10.680
said I'm not going to take this job and then you're like you know what come down

01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:16.240
and then I was convinced easily that's it a high five yeah never G me a hug

01:04:13.680 --> 01:04:21.119
nope what what are we supposed to hug on wow dude you can hug on you can do

01:04:18.520 --> 01:04:26.119
anything you want on W show as Long's yeah yeah or if we

01:04:26.400 --> 01:04:30.520
oh all right Bud all right

01:04:30.520 --> 01:04:37.599
dude get out of here Colton dude you're Crossing line people are asking what's

01:04:35.359 --> 01:04:42.839
going to happen to Channel Super Fun um we don't know actually Channel Super Fun

01:04:40.319 --> 01:04:46.799
Nick or not Nick has had kind of had some challenges over the last couple of

01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:51.640
years we don't know if it makes any sense um the entire twitch chat is

01:04:49.400 --> 01:04:57.559
cringing so hard Colton so thank you for that that was the most awkward hug since

01:04:54.599 --> 01:05:02.880
like my Uncle have you ever se you see me hug my

01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:05.480
wife I don't know I don't know and have

01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:10.039
a great weekend see you later Colton bye guys um yeah well cuz it Channel super

01:05:08.359 --> 01:05:14.559
changed so much because it was it started out as just a side thing for fun

01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:17.799
when there was downtime or like a side thing to try something out that didn't

01:05:15.839 --> 01:05:21.079
fit on the other channels then it kind of turned into like oh crap these

01:05:19.680 --> 01:05:25.359
numbers are actually getting pretty good this might be a legitimate Channel and

01:05:23.200 --> 01:05:30.279
then like taking the different sure I don't know what these are they're good

01:05:27.720 --> 01:05:36.720
ohap buffalo bacon literal piece of bacon right on um yeah it Chang so much

01:05:34.599 --> 01:05:40.880
that you know you don't want to keep beating something to death if it isn't

01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:43.839
like organically growing so I think just maybe a different approach or whatever

01:05:42.319 --> 01:05:49.960
like we noticed that over the past little bit mhm but there's some good

01:05:47.559 --> 01:05:53.119
Golden Era uh Channel Super Fun episodes that I still love so

01:05:53.440 --> 01:05:59.279
much Carolina Reaper jerky I I've have eaten all of that jerky I'll tell you

01:05:57.760 --> 01:06:05.480
one thing it is delicious there's one of them though that like just killed the

01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:08.680
insides of me it's too hot like you feel

01:06:05.480 --> 01:06:11.160
it like everywhere it just destroys your

01:06:08.680 --> 01:06:16.760
your entire insides so watch out for that

01:06:12.119 --> 01:06:18.640
one um all right I don't see I don't

01:06:16.760 --> 01:06:22.920
actually see much else here they want you to bring lonus cat tips back yeah I

01:06:21.359 --> 01:06:29.839
yeah I don't see how often do you sprinkle water on that growing flower

01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:31.880
growing oh I I don't remember the last

01:06:29.839 --> 01:06:36.680
time I uploaded something there to be honest it's just like it's so it comes

01:06:33.760 --> 01:06:40.559
down to when you're busy making videos for like a real Channel MH cuz the idea

01:06:39.279 --> 01:06:45.760
behind line is cat tips was it would just be me like tooling around at home like playing with my cats or whatever

01:06:43.440 --> 01:06:50.520
and like the last thing I want to do when I have a minute to like sit down

01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:53.760
and like cuddle with my cat it's like get a camera like I I don't want to look

01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:57.920
at a camera well that's been the same thing with like my my channel I like

01:06:55.799 --> 01:07:01.319
I've always just put randoms whatever project I had been working on that I

01:06:59.359 --> 01:07:06.119
needed to put somewhere on that YouTube channel of mine but yeah like when

01:07:03.200 --> 01:07:10.240
you're if your week consists of like shooting and editing when you get off

01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:14.079
work and you're like oh okay I need to go do something outside or something

01:07:11.880 --> 01:07:18.440
like anything not related to what I've just been sitting and doing for the last

01:07:15.680 --> 01:07:22.799
you know eight nine whatever hours yeah it's kind of hard to like make a video

01:07:20.520 --> 01:07:25.720
at that point but sometimes you can we got people asking if you're going to

01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:30.440
make a goodbye video if you're going to do final touchups on the uh the

01:07:27.920 --> 01:07:36.559
Lamborghini and to that I will say we have something special in mind as a

01:07:32.720 --> 01:07:38.240
final as a final video so stay tuned

01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:43.599
this won't be the last time you see him but this is the last time you'll physically be in the building this is

01:07:41.119 --> 01:07:47.559
the last time I'll be live that's right I'm

01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:53.960
live are you going to become a daily vlogger I I so hope that nobody thinks

01:07:51.079 --> 01:07:57.920
that that's what that to me like I'm like I hope nobody thinks I'm going to

01:07:55.559 --> 01:08:02.559
like go and try and be all right now my main focus is my YouTube channel where

01:07:59.760 --> 01:08:08.079
I'm going to daily Vlog my like no that's such a sad like spin-off thing I

01:08:05.599 --> 01:08:11.960
see so many people do that like I don't know I I can't I don't know anyone's

01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:17.159
name in particular but it's like and then they make the first video is like

01:08:13.960 --> 01:08:19.640
why I left BuzzFeed or whatever and it's

01:08:17.159 --> 01:08:22.520
like that video will probably do well because people be like oh why did this

01:08:21.040 --> 01:08:26.640
dude leave whatever and then they watch it and then it's like then you can't

01:08:24.159 --> 01:08:32.319
follow that up with like oh this is what I ate this morning

01:08:29.120 --> 01:08:34.400

01:08:32.319 --> 01:08:39.319

watch that people want a spoof of that yeah you know what somebody else that's

01:08:51.239 --> 01:08:58.719
not a terrible idea somebody else can make that video but know all right so

01:08:55.920 --> 01:09:03.560
it's after 6 and uh the last thing I can do for people who are officially not on
