I think it's because I just told him. I just told him that I'm not my best when I'm comfortable
And now he wants to give me a handicap. Oh jeez. I don't have a title
Means my boss like I do he says hi, I'm Jacob rush. I'm the Techland in GameLinked writer
I work under this man into your ear holes. How's it going? Stop
Hi, I'm Kyle, I'm engineering manager at Crater warehouse. I'm technically not part of LMG but part of LMG, but yeah, hi
I'm Tynan. I'm an engineer at Crater warehouse and I report to the Kyle. Hi
My name is Kyle I'm Riley Murdock. Do I say my last name?
Well, now he knows my last name
This is how well do you know your boss a variation of the newlywed game where instead of answering questions about each other
We're only asking questions about the boss with two traditional newlywed style questions without looking at each other
What color is Riley's eyes My
Well, where are you right to the right answer So you see the thing is I have one of these eyes that I have changed color over the course of my life
I think I know what it is currently But like they started out one color and then they went a different color when I got my license
And then since getting my license and now they've gone a different color I don't know what the figure that is called. Maybe some biological person can tell us but
I'm an editor. I don't know
Piercing piercing blue piercing blue. I mean, I wouldn't call them he can see right through you and your soul
I'm realizing I should have wrote a lot better Great. I definitely do not have brown eyes. No, they're like they're like very light green
I would be a light eyes for anyone who gets that reference. That's a subjective. I'd say that's correct, right?
Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, sometimes my eyes are blue. Sometimes they look like I'm like a revenant brought back from
From the death Someone killed a wacky wavy inflatable ARM flailing to me
Brought him back to life. How the freak are we supposed to rub this up with your finger Kyle? Oh?
Yep What okay, I'm like, excuse you
Still without looking at each other. Okay, this Kyle have any tattoos or piercings bonus points if you can name the exact amount
Jacob wouldn't know
My guess was more confident than his that's fun Oh, man, he's this is like a one-word answer and he's going he's writing something. He's writing a whole quick bit right there
No zero sick perfect perfect. I wish
Future lower right butt cheek tattoo that says I couldn't I couldn't fit it
But I was gonna say quick bits and a flaming heart. Oh, that'd be so good. That'd be so I keep it vanilla
I knew that the first time I saw you I'm just a regular guy. What is Riley's favorite food?
Damn
Because I don't I don't know
It's like if you can't eat one thing brush your life, what would it be?
One thing to rest my life. Is that what that is out of that means is that what favorite food is?
It's like it's like your go favorite food is that is the food you would eat if you could eat one thing for the rest of your life
I guess yeah, I don't know that I feel like you could debate that because maybe my favorite food is like the most delicious thing
I've ever had in my life, but I only want to have that a few times. We should just go and get work
No, are you confident in your answer Jacob? I'm pretty confident. I mean it depends on what your definition of favorite food is
I mean he knows what to put down to get the point I can let you know right now
I'm 90% sure that you can put down a category with my answer knowing that you put a category I
Could make your life worse by putting a specific item. I'm gonna put two because it depends what I'm doing
Wow
If I'm going out it's probably steak is my most favorite even though I do either. Oh, no, I lie. It's wrong
Ramen ramen's my favorite. What am I doing? See I like soiling on a functional level, but it doesn't taste the best
It's not my favorite food. It is the food that you most often eat. It's the most practical food
Yes, and you enjoy it the most in that way it is what appeals to your idea of eating
Yes, it's true. It's so then that way it is your food if I'm going out And I can't get to a very good ramen place steak is the mic like definitely safe bet pretty safe
But if I'm at home my wife makes a killer mac and cheese and that's boy is my favorite when I go home
But if I'm in downtown Vancouver Ramen is where we're going if we're saying that a favorite food. Let's get into this
But hot freakin butter chicken
100% moving on real fast. I think you're proving that you know me to another controversial topic controversial
Where is Kyle's favorite place in the world?
My favorite place in the world
I
I'm gonna write something that if you don't put it it's gonna make you look really bad
Sorry, this is gonna be wrong, but it's gonna be funny. I didn't think this was this
You said it was controversial Because because we talked about favorite food for like 10 minutes. Okay favorite place is a way bigger question than favorite food
Yes, I was this controversial Wow
How home with this lovely wife and child yeah
For some reason I went to write home, and I was just like house. I don't know if wow raids is a place
It's a state of mind. I suppose I do wow raids at home. So that's at least half points
When did Riley start at the company bonus point for a month? Oh God
Oh What what what is this?
I'm using a calculator. You can come over and check. Oh, no. I trust you. I'm also lazy. Freak. What's the yeah?
I'm trying to get zero point two seven math. He's just texting someone
Yeah, I saw the swipe. I saw the app swipe. There was no absolute code at there times
Baby
Okay, you really should know this I do know it. I know I put my anniversary date realizing. Oh wait. No, it's the day before
Hmm April 2018. Oh, so close. Oh
So close so close. Oh, we didn't start wait. Did we know I think I started in like February and March or something
So even I was right. It's okay. April was when wait. No
Oh Oh, God, I wasn't even close
I can't I can't do math can't do math, but in an ear. Okay noted noted
That's Normally, I'd make the excuse that when I'm not at work my brain turns off, but I'm still at work
So I don't know if I can rock that excuse. All right, whatever. You're close. You're you're close enough
823 episodes tackling three a week. There's Christmas specials
There are the odd day where we where we didn't do one
You did a good job. Jacob. Oh, that's that's what you did. Don't feel bad. Oh, no. He's like my math was off
I'm an astrophysics major I can't have
I know it's not day what is piles ideal weekend
Oh
I want to do like a detailed breakdown of like the day because it really depends
What's your favorite thing about riley Jake up? He lets me get paid
Actually, no my my legitimate favorite thing about rally is that when I get a good laugh in on him
He like full-on leans over all the way inside. So I'm guessing he's trained his body
To specifically when he's sitting down to lean to one side
No, boy. All right. Well, let's see what it is
Okay, so Friday chill with family like Friday evening Saturday
Like when I say nothing like nothing planned, I like to keep Saturdays flexible
Sunday is usually like family get together day being away from people make you see some family
Curled up with Frank Herbert's dude
Well, it's pretty good pretty close. Sorry, I'm I'm I'm interested in tinnitus
That's good as your D. Well, I didn't well
Like I'm not gonna disagree with you
Mexican food slash Thanksgiving food from you're really gonna rub in the fucking Mexican food tinnitus thing was I literally spent the last like
um like month Like your waterproofing my crawl space to use it more as the water as a storage space
I generally reserve weekends for more like Proper games like boulders gate three or something. We're gonna ask Riley what his most prized possession is
Okay, that's actually kind of easy I think
Jacob I don't know. There is no freaking. Oh god. There is no contest for this. It has to be a non-living object
Oh, well now it's less. Yeah, it's a I don't possess
People. Yeah, Jacob. Yeah, we're all we're all I'm sorry. I'm sorry. What is what is the what is the what are the verbs you use?
When you when you're talking about a child. Oh, I have a child
I don't possess a child because every time I set possession they're like can be people and then I had a whole argument about possession
with right. Yeah, that makes sense Try it. What do you have? This one's 100 wrong. I can answer it for you
You've got 35 minutes. I think most of it's just you guys rambling with stuff
You know what this is gonna make this is gonna make it you can turn this into two videos
Well, let's see how wrong Panna is in three two one
Oh I mean, I don't talk a lot about my table saw my home
Oh His wedding ring symbolizing his love for his wife tied with his son's birth certificate. It's a tool
You got that wrong, Jacob He has zero points
If I lost the wedding ring, I'd still be married. You know what? Uh
Get in the comments. I didn't get in the comments. We didn't have when I got the ring
Yes, that's why no, he said for what's your most prized possession. I said that they were tied
You can't have a tie. That should be a negative one point And your birth and your child's birth certificate symbolizing the love for your child
And Get in the comments. What is Kyle's favorite technique. What's my favorite technique? Yeah, what?
Technique. Oh, technique Like you all see questions. I don't even know the answer to like this is not the first time
I'm like, what the Frick's this guy's talking about? David's all about retro
Those are my keyboards. Dave's out of mouses. I like how he's the productive plurality rule for English there
What? Well, instead of saying mice, you said mouses that wrong
That's a very interesting question. No, I don't know how to spell it and it's it's not a hard word
I went to school for math and science and I had to do English that is not spelled right and people gonna roast me for it
iPad oh Oh, yeah, that's right. Is you're the only guy who understands what iPads are for
That's a pretty good guess though machine vision. Oh, that's really close. IOT development. I don't know what 80s words mean
Internet of things and embedded developments. Um, this is a subsection of it. That's that's meant to be machine. Okay, I
Dude, how do you not know how to spell machines how to spell machine? Okay? I there's an a in it
I went to school for math and science But like I wish that when I started I could have made a bunch of
Tech videos about like keyboards and synthesizers and stuff
Because then I would have trained myself up to know about it by the time we started ShortCircuit
But I don't know enough. But what if like I know how to play piano, but I don't know anything about like the tech
Yeah, but wouldn't it be cool to like because wouldn't that be an interesting perspective where it's like baby's first keyboard
Or like what is how easy is it for like a semi novice who's trying to get into playing keyboards get in the comments
Specifically machine vision on embedded systems. I have a cool story where I'm trying to build a
Spoilers a machine vision tracking system to track raccoons in my backyard
Oh that one keep pooping in a in a specific section and I want to train
a camera to Recognize when they're like taking a deuce
They're like turd odd sprinkler system and spray them while they're doosing so they go poop somewhere else
Many different entertaining iterations of that have been discussed
And now we're gonna do a traditional married wed game question
So we're gonna ask two questions. Where have we kissed? No, because that's then that was our first kiss jaco's mind
Where did I imagine first question is okay, where did I imagine and what geographical air who comes in later?
wall I want the viewers to know we were supposed to start at 9 30 and we started at 9 50. Yeah
Yeah I have kids have to drop them off at day kids
rally So I come in late and then I stay late. What do you want me to do?
Be a better father I used to go into the office for four in the morning
Yeah, okay, so my old job was like six thirty seven
But like and I would get in here at like this that at 8 30 every day if I could
But then I have to drop my kids off at daycare And I can't drop them off too early and trying to get kids out the doors
Adventure. Yeah, you're a great father You don't know that
Who is the best dresser between the two of you?
Oh Who was the biggest drip?
Okay, when you phrase it like when you phrase it like that, I feel like the answer changes
It's best best best dresser. What is drip? I don't understand. Can someone explain to the boomer? Okay boomer
What is drip? No, seriously, like is that like you can read the comments in the in this full-time video. I don't even know
Yeah Jacob
But I feel like you would have got you should have gotten two points if you wrote me because then it'd be like
We both love each other's dressings dressing behavior
Oh I'm wearing a collar today
Although you often you often come here in a tank top a vest tank top
No, that isn't no, there's a difference for the tank top. Yeah
What like something with like no sleeves. It's just like
Okay, it's like a jacket in Africa. We call that a vest. Oh, okay. Like it's like it's only in north america
It's like oh, no, that's a that's a tank top. I used to dress a lot better
But then I came here and it's like jeans a t-shirt. I'm like done. What was your first impression?
A pineapple in one word. This would be like, I guess the interview things those are for somebody met
Oh It would have to be in person right not like reading his script because he wrote a script to apply
That's also true And I I had seen you on video and they've had so many questions every single one my questions
Well, they're we're the most interesting people in the company. What do you want rules oriented?
Did you include a portfolio with your resume? I can't remember. I can't either. I'm probably it's one word rally
What one word? Yeah Okay, too late for that
Wow, I erased like several words. I didn't I didn't hear that fit into the one word rule
How can we say one word in one word? What was your first impression one word? Okay? Well, it's fine
In season two we'll make it multiple words. I have to look up how to spell a word So I don't like completely embarrass myself. I type on a computer where there's like when you get close enough
And then the thing figures it out spell check is a glorious machine, but you can make a poop detective machine
Yes, I can you don't need to spell as long as your variables are the same name if you made the same spelling mistake
It's still freaking works when you have to do the compiler
big
Capable and rent I'm trying to be nice in mind. You said aesthetic joker
You know, I was trying to include was one of the things you say to me was like when I started
Is like I was like very much a diamond in the rough like I had I had good instincts
But like they could be refined Yeah, and I couldn't really say all that in one word. So the closest thing I could do was hyphenate and go set me funny
Oh, sorry. Wait, I forgot. I thought that you were writing your first impression of me
No, no, this is my first impression of you. Yes, right
When we were doing tynein's hiring round, um We're basically looking to like
Duplicate my skill set um because we just needed more hands and so when I went through all the resumes
I went through it with the eyes of like Going wide as much as possible with some experience and go from there. So at least you said I was smart
We've made many jokes. Oh eccentric jokester. Yeah eccentric joke. That sounds so funny. I'll count. I'll count it. Hi IQ variant
What is Kyle's biggest pet peeve?
Biggest pet peeve like there's so much that I'm like, what the freaking like that. That's interesting
I definitely have pet peeves. I feel like there's a tie. I don't know why I'm drawing a blank right now
Like that it should be easy for me. I have a lot. I have a lot of pet peeves. You're also you actually
Whereas I am me. I got it. I got it
All right, let's see the biggest pet peeve in three. Actually, no, I'm gonna change. Oh, dude
Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna say right now my last pet peeve is kind of just a joke
But I want to put it in there. Well, you can't you have to go one I said that once and I got yelled at by shrod
Obviously, we are not going by the rules. No, this is included
The rules have flown off the shelf Yeah, that yeah, I agree with this one when people say something to me. I don't hear that
It's not like hey, I can't do this like that's not in competence
It's like because then you know, you can't do it. That's just an experience and competence when I don't know how to say this
Someone has demonstrated that they should be able to do something and then can't
Yeah, but I don't want to come across as an asshole. This is generally speaking specifically relating to
Outside people. Yeah second one is
Uh, when people won't stop talking especially when he's trying to work because you're really big into using the anc headphones
And also there's been several times where I will bother you and you'll just go stop stop stop stop
And then the last one which is a joke But I feel like it's also very true is when companies don't just adapt fan favorite content
And instead trying to make their own with absolutely no plan at all and ruin a incredible franchise
I mean What franchise is that star wars scope creep is one of the pet peeves that I have to deal with on a daily basis
Not that all scope creep is bad It's that when you're very close to completing a project
And then the scope changes and then all all of a sudden adds like another year on to the project
That's kind of frustrating and that's sometimes just like what are we freaking doing?
screwdriver Screwdriver wasn't that bad of a scope creep even though like it wasn't but if you wanted to get the screwdriver out
Like two years earlier, you wouldn't have reversed the ratchet and you wouldn't have made the bit shorter
That that's that's what you would have done would have made a worse product. Maybe it would have made a different product
So not all scope creep is bad. It's just It's one of one of one of my pet peeves is like we're like so close to being okay. Let's go into manufacturing. It's like, uh
Let's put RGB on it. I'm like no
Those are all I guess pet peeves of mine, but they're not as big as they're not the biggest one. Okay, that's fair
I'll take that I'll take the L Which is to be clear when people say something and I don't hear that and I'm like, sorry, what and they're like, ah
Don't worry about it. And I'm like, I'm worrying about it. I'm worrying about it now Yeah, that makes as someone who's like high anxiety ADHD that I relate to that. What is Kyle's go-to drink?
Oh, I guess both know it right away I have a strong feeling that this would be exactly the same answer for literally everyone in our entire department
Water coffee. Oh, okay. I guess water
Water water nice coffee be beverage of life and like awakeness. We make coffee by the pot
It create a warehouse. Why mostly coffee because I see him drink more coffee than I see him drink water
You're not paying attention I see you refill your water bottle once. I see you refill your coffee twice
I usually try to refill my water bottle twice
But even two of my coffee mugs is less than the water bottle and also there's water in the coffee
So I guess that's goes to your point even more if Kyle won a million dollars. What would he do with it?
One good jillion dollars
What would you do with a million dollars Jacob?
Probably afford groceries for a year invest start a chip fab. I mean if it was a billion then yeah
Maybe what's a million? I have way too practical
I knew it was going to be investing that was I was like I was like it's not going to be this is going to be investing
See, I didn't think I didn't know if you own your apartment Oh, yeah So I was and also you talked about how like you were you know eating lots of soup for reasons
And so I was like, okay, so he gets the maybe he gets a house a little bit more space. Yeah in this economy
Also, I did say invest I mean another half point
See we gotta do a little a little plug here because you know, we are part of the company
What is Kyle's favorite LTT merch? Really? We already answered this
We talked about it like an hour
It'll always hold a special space space in my heart. I mean that's true for me too though
Like I we were both involved in the development of that and it was a lot of both of our time
The shaft it was like a lot of decisions whether whether and all the shafts are not
Five what's the point of different bits set in every different screwdriver, you know
Oh shack it because it's a shirt jacket. I think
Oh, oh that's a shirt jacket. Yeah, except it's like
All the jacket lttstore.com blur this one
Whoa We could probably show a Floatplane people. I don't like this leak that we work. I don't know
I actually don't know. We're leaking it But yeah, whoa. Oh, yeah, it's like it's like literally aluminum and brass like it's heaviest
lttstore.com. Did you just that was the last question so that we could end with a plug?
Yeah, of course. Kyle, do you think Ty knows you a lot? Yeah, I think he did pretty well. I mean because soon I didn't know answers to all of the freaking questions
Anyway, bunch of ones you asked me. I don't even know what the freaking answer is
I thought I was gonna get to guess stuff about Jacob as well, but I guess that'll be season two season two
That will surely happen because because I want an opportunity to read him as well as he read me this time
I'm an enigma rally I'm the freaking lizard king
