1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,400 I'm Sarah. I'm a graphic designer and occasional host here at Linus Media Group slash Creator Warehouse. 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,640 I'm reacting to my first video, which is Linus Cheats at Hide and Seek, 3 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:16,640 where we played Hide and Seek for a Channel Super Fun video. 4 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:25,040 So I started at Linus Media Group January 13th of 2020, right before the pandemic hit. 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:31,440 I started as a graphic designer and I'm still a graphic designer. I didn't know I was going to end up doing videos at all. 6 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:36,400 I then started watching, I guess, everybody else shooting videos and thought, 7 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,400 hey, if the opportunity ever arises, I'll give it a go. 8 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,800 And then right after my three months probation, 9 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,520 they asked if anybody wanted to participate in the Hide and Seek video and I said, 10 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,880 why not? So I did. I will say the funny part about this video is like, 11 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:58,080 I had started whatever three months prior and still didn't know the building very well 12 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,320 and then everybody else already had hiding spots kind of figured out and I was just running 13 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,800 around aimlessly trying to figure out where I was going to go. Here we go. 14 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,760 They say there's no such thing in life as free lunch. But here at Linus Media Group, we don't believe in that. 15 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,960 So we're going to be playing Extreme Hide and Seek in our 8,000 square foot head office 16 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,120 and the winner the- Throwback to when we had only one office. 17 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,760 Now we have three. Last one found is going to get free lunch for a month. 18 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,520 The most important rule is that every five minutes, 19 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,120 you are going to have to re-hide within the new boundaries. 20 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,520 Just like a Battle Royale game, we're going to be shrinking the hiding zone, 21 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,280 making it much more difficult. Okay, ready? Go! 22 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,400 Two meters! Oh God! 23 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,680 Yo, we have five minutes. This will be fine. Okay, okay. Hey, hey, what? 24 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,880 No, no, no, that's Riley's spot. That's my spot. 25 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:06,000 Pardon? We really need to do this again. Yes, I would love to do another Hide and Seek video. 26 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,240 We should do it in Labs because it's like way bigger than this building. 27 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,720 Although I don't know if there would be as many good hiding spots. 28 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,880 So much pressure! Can't imagine how many people we have. It's going to be a lot more difficult to find. 29 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,120 Yeah, true. And also, yeah, way easier to find people. 30 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,520 We did so much prep. So this is my best hiding spot. 31 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,640 I'm having Nicholas help me get in. You'll never, ever find me. 32 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,480 I'll be here. So these hiding spots are crazy. 33 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,880 I'd break. 1,800 Got Junk can make it disappear. 34 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,480 Typical YouTube. Oh, two ads. Features consider you best. 35 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,080 I'm going to hide in the corner like this. 36 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,840 I'm going up there. Yeah, this is where James hid. 37 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,240 You guys took my spot. Colton, you took my other spot. 38 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,040 I don't think this is going to work. You can't see, but it's pretty high up. 39 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,560 He comes from the bottom of the game. He comes from the top. 40 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,160 I'm just going to hide in the stairwell. This is a terrible hiding spot. 41 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,240 Now you can do yourself. 42 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,280 I'm going in. 43 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,080 It's so cool to play hide and seek with a ton of creatives. 44 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,680 Because I feel like we really go out of our way to find a spot. 45 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720 That's just like impossible to find. 46 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,640 Riley had a drill to take apart boards from the wall. 47 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,680 Who else would do that? 48 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,960 They had pre-gutted the arcade machine as a hiding spot for the next day. 49 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:04,640 Is that even fair? Probably not, but I guess they get credit for trying, right? 50 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200 They're bad hiders. Oh my god, I can't even see you. 51 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:16,240 Are you ready? I'm ready. Actually, this could be harder than I thought. 52 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,640 You know, I wonder if I should get farther away from the entryway. 53 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,760 Just because if they're smart, they won't be that close to the door. 54 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:29,200 So they don't. Wow, the building looks so different than it does now. 55 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:35,920 Get found right away. Thing is, once you're found the first time, you're completely out. 56 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,280 You're done. No one hiding in the sheets there. Boy, they are. 57 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,840 They are really good. They are more hidden than I thought they would be. 58 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,040 Dennis, shut up. You're not helping. 59 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:52,320 No one on one. No one on one. Okay. 60 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,440 Dennis, you're not making it easier or better. 61 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,120 Zach, you're still quiet now. 62 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:06,880 I have three minutes. Okay. 63 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,520 Dennis, shut up. 64 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,840 Are you guys just trolling me? Am I, am I onto something here? 65 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,840 I don't think there's anybody actually hiding. 66 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Wow, it looks so different. 67 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,680 Well, there's one. The funny thing is where Ed hid was my initial hiding spot, 68 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,120 and then I was like, screw it. I'll help him hide in the box, 69 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,520 and then I will try to figure out where else I'm going to go. 70 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,240 He ended up getting found first, so maybe it's a good thing I didn't hide there. 71 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,400 You definitely stacked with your good karma. Yeah, exactly. 72 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,080 Linus was just on the other side of the door, 73 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,760 and he didn't see me. Ed, you're officially the worst. 74 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,040 I'm trying to be quiet!. This part was so scary because you can hear Linus, 75 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,200 and you can hear Dennis getting closer, and they were right there. 76 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:17,440 I felt like the kids in that scene in Jurassic Park, where the velociraptors are chasing them around the kitchen. 77 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,880 That's exactly what it was like. I don't believe that there's anyone else. 78 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Yeah, there's storage things here. I forgot about that. I was so incredibly close to being found. 79 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,520 Actually, we never used them. Three, two, one. 80 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,480 I only found one. Let's go out. Please relocate. 81 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,000 They're climbing. What? He's no ceilings. See you later. 82 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:49,440 David's hiding spot is genius, but I still don't really understand how he got in there. 83 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,880 No climbing's a rule? What? It's a stupid rule. 84 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,080 He's moved from there to here. Yeah, same strategy. 85 00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,840 It worked. I'm going to hide in this box. 86 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,160 Cole, what are you doing? 87 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,760 What are you doing in there, Cole? No, nope, can't fit in there. 88 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,640 I don't have another option. 89 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,600 I love the team interactions in these videos 90 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,640 because it is so true to exactly what life around the office is like. 91 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,320 Like everybody is just so, I don't know, so fun, so quirky. 92 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,200 Wait a minute. I'm too fat to fit under the bed. 93 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,800 Going under the props. 94 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,480 Is that Chase? No. It's just good. 95 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,160 I can't see it at all. Okay, cool. Linus is coming. 96 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,640 Go. Got a D. 97 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,760 Another ad. I love how confident Linus is, 98 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,720 but in the end he ends up cheating anyways. Okay, okay. 99 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,800 God damn it. God, Mark. Hello. 100 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,400 Hello there. 101 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,320 God, Colton. God, Colton. 102 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,160 No, I'm not first to be found, right? Oh, is there another one here? 103 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080 Oh, wow. No one under the bed. 104 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,920 Not too much time. 105 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,120 How do I know they're not cheating? I'm not going to speak. 106 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,120 There's no way. 40 seconds. 107 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:39,680 There's one. Oh, come on. I thought my hiding spot was so good. 108 00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:42,720 So good. I was like, there's no way anybody's going to find me in here. 109 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:50,160 But I was also so stressed that people were judging me for like walking in and then just making myself small enough 110 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,480 to go under the kitchen sink. 111 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,880 I feel like it was like either Alex or Anthony 112 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,120 sitting across. And I was like, do I ask them for help? Because I was just so nervous, still getting to know people. 113 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,680 And then also crawling in underneath the kitchen sink 114 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,920 in the writer's area. But it didn't end up saving me. 115 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,240 That's where I was found. I'm nervous down. 116 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,440 It was a good spot. Just not good enough. 117 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,160 That's 10 seconds. 10 seconds. Three, two, one. 118 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400 Let's go out. Out. One of us is out. 119 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,640 I've never been so scared of Dennis's voice until this video. 120 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,440 Wait, what? Yes. He came in here the last minute and Dennis knew I was in here 121 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,440 and Dennis was like, what? Your office? 122 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,760 Shut up. Oh my god. I thought of one. 123 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,360 In one? I think I'm going to win, right? One out of three only. 124 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,200 Where's everyone? You just re-usely won. I think David's going to win. 125 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,640 He's a wily guy. Oh, one of three. This is one of three, right? No. 126 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,320 Oh, s**t. How much time do I have? One minute. 127 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,320 Dennis, how do I look? It's good. Dennis was going to give me 10 minutes every round. 128 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,600 And I was like, five. Extreme hide and seek. 129 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,040 We got the hide part. Time to get the clear thermal camera. 130 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,520 50% as good as other. Oh, no. We have a thermal camera. 131 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,280 We have a thermal camera. We have a thermal camera. We have a thermal camera. 132 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,720 We have a thermal camera. 133 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,520 This is where it all goes downhill. That look, that look that Linus gave the camera, 134 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,040 that is like the look of, I'm going to win now. 135 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,920 You got it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can't see you at all. 136 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,600 Yeah, I can't see you at all. 137 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,920 Okay, where's my heat signature? This is not in the spirit of competition. 138 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,440 Here we go. There, Riley's calling him out. 139 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,560 And he didn't listen. Now we're going. What? 140 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:58,240 Wait, does it include this office? No, no, that's 102. 141 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,520 I see heat. I see you. Such a cheat. 142 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,080 Such a cheater. You knew you were playing with. 143 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,800 I see heat signature. 144 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,240 Evonne's spot was so good. It was so good. 145 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,200 I really wish she didn't have the heat camera. 146 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,560 I think we'd need a redo just for that reason. 147 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,320 Where are they? I see heat signature. 148 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,680 Damn it, Linus. You got Teran. I can't believe he cheated. 149 00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:43,360 You can't believe I cheated? Who have you been married to? 150 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Now you have 10 seconds to find James. Five, four, three, two, one. 151 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,520 Linus, you're done. Where's James? Linus. 152 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,840 Linus, where are you? 153 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,760 Even with cheating tools, you can't find him. Even with cheating tools. Wow. 154 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960 Linus. Wow. 155 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:14,000 It was the garbage bag. So literally being trash makes you the winner of hide and seek. 156 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,440 What's up? Even with the FLIR thermal camera. Good job, James. 157 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,280 Here's your winning trophy. 158 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:25,920 And of course, free lunch for a month. But in the spirit of fair competition, 159 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,080 all of the runners up from the last round will get free lunch for two weeks. 160 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,680 I was pretty confident I was going to win. I gave myself like a three out of four chance. 161 00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:38,800 You know, some people think but just because I'm the most physically imposing person 162 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,880 in the office that I can't fit into small spaces. But you know, like Colton, 163 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,960 like he thinks just because he's built like a bag of flour that he can get into smaller spaces than me. 164 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,200 But no, no, no, no, I'm the master. 165 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,080 That video is iconic on so many levels. 166 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,320 When you look back, as far as you seeing yourself back then, 167 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,480 what can you say has changed since then? 168 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,560 I think I have gained a bit more confidence on camera. 169 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,720 I've become a lot busier. I have a lot more design work to do, 170 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:21,200 which is kind of a shame because I do love being in videos. But yeah, at the end of the day, 171 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,600 design stuff is my main priority. 172 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,960 And when the occasion does arise and I do get the chance to do some videos, 173 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,920 I enjoy myself finally. 174 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:39,920 Ah, I don't want to look at myself. Oh my God, I was a horrible taving jaros, horrible.
