WEBVTT

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.

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:12.640
I'm reacting to my first video, which is Linus Cheats at Hide and Seek,

00:00:13.360 --> 00:00:16.640
where we played Hide and Seek for a Channel Super Fun video.

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:25.040
So I started at Linus Media Group January 13th of 2020, right before the pandemic hit.

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.

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:36.400
I then started watching, I guess, everybody else shooting videos and thought,

00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:40.400
hey, if the opportunity ever arises, I'll give it a go.

00:00:40.400 --> 00:00:42.800
And then right after my three months probation,

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.520
they asked if anybody wanted to participate in the Hide and Seek video and I said,

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.880
why not? So I did. I will say the funny part about this video is like,

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:58.080
I had started whatever three months prior and still didn't know the building very well

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

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:06.800
around aimlessly trying to figure out where I was going to go. Here we go.

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.

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

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:23.120
and the winner the- Throwback to when we had only one office.

00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:29.760
Now we have three. Last one found is going to get free lunch for a month.

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:35.520
The most important rule is that every five minutes,

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:39.120
you are going to have to re-hide within the new boundaries.

00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.520
Just like a Battle Royale game, we're going to be shrinking the hiding zone,

00:01:43.520 --> 00:01:47.280
making it much more difficult. Okay, ready? Go!

00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:50.400
Two meters! Oh God!

00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.680
Yo, we have five minutes. This will be fine. Okay, okay. Hey, hey, what?

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.880
No, no, no, that's Riley's spot. That's my spot.

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.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:10.240
We should do it in Labs because it's like way bigger than this building.

00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.720
Although I don't know if there would be as many good hiding spots.

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.

00:02:16.880 --> 00:02:21.120
Yeah, true. And also, yeah, way easier to find people.

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.520
We did so much prep. So this is my best hiding spot.

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.640
I'm having Nicholas help me get in. You'll never, ever find me.

00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.480
I'll be here. So these hiding spots are crazy.

00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.880
I'd break. 1,800 Got Junk can make it disappear.

00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:46.480
Typical YouTube. Oh, two ads. Features consider you best.

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:50.080
I'm going to hide in the corner like this.

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:55.840
I'm going up there. Yeah, this is where James hid.

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:02.240
You guys took my spot. Colton, you took my other spot.

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.

00:03:08.160 --> 00:03:10.560
He comes from the bottom of the game. He comes from the top.

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:18.160
I'm just going to hide in the stairwell. This is a terrible hiding spot.

00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.240
Now you can do yourself.

00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.280
I'm going in.

00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:32.080
It's so cool to play hide and seek with a ton of creatives.

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.680
Because I feel like we really go out of our way to find a spot.

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.720
That's just like impossible to find.

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.640
Riley had a drill to take apart boards from the wall.

00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:45.680
Who else would do that?

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:56.960
They had pre-gutted the arcade machine as a hiding spot for the next day.

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:04.640
Is that even fair? Probably not, but I guess they get credit for trying, right?

00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:09.200
They're bad hiders. Oh my god, I can't even see you.

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:16.240
Are you ready? I'm ready. Actually, this could be harder than I thought.

00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:20.640
You know, I wonder if I should get farther away from the entryway.

00:04:20.640 --> 00:04:23.760
Just because if they're smart, they won't be that close to the door.

00:04:23.760 --> 00:04:29.200
So they don't. Wow, the building looks so different than it does now.

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.

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.280
You're done. No one hiding in the sheets there. Boy, they are.

00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.840
They are really good. They are more hidden than I thought they would be.

00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:49.040
Dennis, shut up. You're not helping.

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:52.320
No one on one. No one on one. Okay.

00:04:56.640 --> 00:04:59.440
Dennis, you're not making it easier or better.

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.120
Zach, you're still quiet now.

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:06.880
I have three minutes. Okay.

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:13.520
Dennis, shut up.

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.840
Are you guys just trolling me? Am I, am I onto something here?

00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:21.840
I don't think there's anybody actually hiding.

00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:26.320
Wow, it looks so different.

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.680
Well, there's one. The funny thing is where Ed hid was my initial hiding spot,

00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.120
and then I was like, screw it. I'll help him hide in the box,

00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:43.520
and then I will try to figure out where else I'm going to go.

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.

00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.400
You definitely stacked with your good karma. Yeah, exactly.

00:05:53.760 --> 00:05:56.080
Linus was just on the other side of the door,

00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.760
and he didn't see me. Ed, you're officially the worst.

00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:07.040
I'm trying to be quiet!. This part was so scary because you can hear Linus,

00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:11.200
and you can hear Dennis getting closer, and they were right there.

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.

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:22.880
That's exactly what it was like. I don't believe that there's anyone else.

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.

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.520
Actually, we never used them. Three, two, one.

00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:38.480
I only found one. Let's go out. Please relocate.

00:06:40.880 --> 00:06:44.000
They're climbing. What? He's no ceilings. See you later.

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.

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.880
No climbing's a rule? What? It's a stupid rule.

00:06:54.880 --> 00:06:58.080
He's moved from there to here. Yeah, same strategy.

00:06:58.080 --> 00:06:59.840
It worked. I'm going to hide in this box.

00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:04.160
Cole, what are you doing?

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.760
What are you doing in there, Cole? No, nope, can't fit in there.

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:12.640
I don't have another option.

00:07:14.320 --> 00:07:17.600
I love the team interactions in these videos

00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:22.640
because it is so true to exactly what life around the office is like.

00:07:22.640 --> 00:07:26.320
Like everybody is just so, I don't know, so fun, so quirky.

00:07:30.640 --> 00:07:33.200
Wait a minute. I'm too fat to fit under the bed.

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:34.800
Going under the props.

00:07:37.200 --> 00:07:40.480
Is that Chase? No. It's just good.

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.160
I can't see it at all. Okay, cool. Linus is coming.

00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:46.640
Go. Got a D.

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:55.760
Another ad. I love how confident Linus is,

00:07:55.760 --> 00:07:58.720
but in the end he ends up cheating anyways. Okay, okay.

00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.800
God damn it. God, Mark. Hello.

00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:04.400
Hello there.

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:10.320
God, Colton. God, Colton.

00:08:10.320 --> 00:08:14.160
No, I'm not first to be found, right? Oh, is there another one here?

00:08:18.080 --> 00:08:20.080
Oh, wow. No one under the bed.

00:08:22.880 --> 00:08:23.920
Not too much time.

00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:31.120
How do I know they're not cheating? I'm not going to speak.

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.120
There's no way. 40 seconds.

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.680
There's one. Oh, come on. I thought my hiding spot was so good.

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.

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

00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:52.480
to go under the kitchen sink.

00:08:53.760 --> 00:08:56.880
I feel like it was like either Alex or Anthony

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.

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.680
And then also crawling in underneath the kitchen sink

00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:13.920
in the writer's area. But it didn't end up saving me.

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:16.240
That's where I was found. I'm nervous down.

00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:21.440
It was a good spot. Just not good enough.

00:09:22.880 --> 00:09:26.160
That's 10 seconds. 10 seconds. Three, two, one.

00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.400
Let's go out. Out. One of us is out.

00:09:31.520 --> 00:09:34.640
I've never been so scared of Dennis's voice until this video.

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

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:43.440
and Dennis was like, what? Your office?

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:47.760
Shut up. Oh my god. I thought of one.

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:51.360
In one? I think I'm going to win, right? One out of three only.

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:55.200
Where's everyone? You just re-usely won. I think David's going to win.

00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.640
He's a wily guy. Oh, one of three. This is one of three, right? No.

00:09:58.640 --> 00:10:02.320
Oh, s**t. How much time do I have? One minute.

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.

00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:09.600
And I was like, five. Extreme hide and seek.

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:13.040
We got the hide part. Time to get the clear thermal camera.

00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:17.520
50% as good as other. Oh, no. We have a thermal camera.

00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:21.280
We have a thermal camera. We have a thermal camera. We have a thermal camera.

00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:22.720
We have a thermal camera.

00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:29.520
This is where it all goes downhill. That look, that look that Linus gave the camera,

00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:33.040
that is like the look of, I'm going to win now.

00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:37.920
You got it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I can't see you at all.

00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:39.600
Yeah, I can't see you at all.

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:47.920
Okay, where's my heat signature? This is not in the spirit of competition.

00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:51.440
Here we go. There, Riley's calling him out.

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.560
And he didn't listen. Now we're going. What?

00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:58.240
Wait, does it include this office? No, no, that's 102.

00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:01.520
I see heat. I see you. Such a cheat.

00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.080
Such a cheater. You knew you were playing with.

00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:10.800
I see heat signature.

00:11:14.880 --> 00:11:18.240
Evonne's spot was so good. It was so good.

00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:21.200
I really wish she didn't have the heat camera.

00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:24.560
I think we'd need a redo just for that reason.

00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:30.320
Where are they? I see heat signature.

00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:39.680
Damn it, Linus. You got Teran. I can't believe he cheated.

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:43.360
You can't believe I cheated? Who have you been married to?

00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:50.160
Now you have 10 seconds to find James. Five, four, three, two, one.

00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:53.520
Linus, you're done. Where's James? Linus.

00:11:56.640 --> 00:11:57.840
Linus, where are you?

00:12:00.400 --> 00:12:03.760
Even with cheating tools, you can't find him. Even with cheating tools. Wow.

00:12:05.040 --> 00:12:06.960
Linus. Wow.

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.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.440
What's up? Even with the FLIR thermal camera. Good job, James.

00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.280
Here's your winning trophy.

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:25.920
And of course, free lunch for a month. But in the spirit of fair competition,

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:30.080
all of the runners up from the last round will get free lunch for two weeks.

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.

00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:38.800
You know, some people think but just because I'm the most physically imposing person

00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:42.880
in the office that I can't fit into small spaces. But you know, like Colton,

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.

00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.200
But no, no, no, no, I'm the master.

00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:54.080
That video is iconic on so many levels.

00:12:57.760 --> 00:13:02.320
When you look back, as far as you seeing yourself back then,

00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.480
what can you say has changed since then?

00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:08.560
I think I have gained a bit more confidence on camera.

00:13:10.400 --> 00:13:14.720
I've become a lot busier. I have a lot more design work to do,

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,

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:23.600
design stuff is my main priority.

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:28.960
And when the occasion does arise and I do get the chance to do some videos,

00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:31.920
I enjoy myself finally.

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.
