I just got back from Japan about 30 hours ago. I have slept very little. David's been
beavering away at this like crazy. I mean obviously we talked about some of it ahead of time and like
we looked at the script together and ideated the whole thing and everything, but I haven't seen any
of it. So it's gonna be a good time. You guys have been at this for like a week, right? So yeah,
basically moving out their stuff, moving in our stuff, building stuff for it, getting everyone in
the last couple days, it's been an adventure. Yeah, I actually had to cut my vacation short for
this because we accidentally scheduled this shoot and my vacation at the same time and it was like
family or April Fools. I think you guys know where I'm going to fall on that every year.
So your reaction during when we're shooting is going to be the real reactions every time,
I don't think so. We'll probably have to have some stuff that's just kind of
I was thinking for reaction basically. I'll have to see some of it ahead of time. Yeah,
instead of walking in and being behind you, they'll just be ahead of you. So you'll come in and then
you'll give a genuine reaction. Sure, yeah, but in terms of, you know, you guys on Floatplane,
my floaters are gonna get the new name, new name. You guys are gonna get the real
Who do you think has the worst setup? I know there's a bunk bed setup of some sort,
but honestly, given that David was requesting five gallon buckets,
as many as he could get in advance of this, I suspect whoever's sitting on buckets has got
a worse setup than that. Sitting on them, that sounds nice. When we worked here, we were
We were 10. We were 10 total. Me, Luke, Ed, Brandon, Nick Light, Karen Van Hiemer, Nick Van
Burkle, Dennis, and John Martin. Was that 10 or was that nine? Did I miss anyone? I'm gonna feel
really bad if I forgot anybody. I think that was it. Did I get, did I get Brandon in there?
Okay, yeah, maybe, I guess we were nine then. So inside, we honestly, okay, spoiler, we did not
move all 110 people. It was not realistic, but I think it's 50 or 60. What am I seeing right now?
I think we should really do this. We should do this, right? Should we just move in? No. The
neighbors would love it. Has anyone questioned any of this? No. I've had a couple people be like,
you guys moving in? I'm like, yes. We were in the backyard going through it when the downstairs
lady came home. She just was like smiling at us or like, hey, smile and wave. I was a little worried
that the neighbors would see us doing this and, um, and call the city because that's what happened
last time we were operating out of here was like three or four of them came to the door all together
and one of them who I guess they assigned as, as spokesperson was like, we know what you're doing
here. And I'll remember that, that, that picture of I'm just like, hi, can I help you? And they're
like, we know what you're doing here. And I'm like, okay, we're not growing drugs. We're not,
we're not doing porn. We're making like YouTube videos about iPhones. Who cares? But sure, go ahead.
And they're basically like, we've reported you and blah, blah, blah. So obviously it's not going
to be a problem for us to vacate from here. We're going to be out of here in like two days anyway.
You know, it's a conversation you don't want to have to have if you can avoid it, right? Yeah. So
I'm, I'm just glad no one's kind of, none of the old crew, I guess is still here to give me a hard
time about it. I think the parking was starting to become a problem for the neighbors. But you
know what their biggest issue actually was was the upkeep of the lawn, which as far as I can tell,
not only is this not any better than it was back then, but everyone else's kind of sucks now too.
I guess the neighbor has just kind of gone to crap. Check out this one. That is so much worse
than ours ever was. Fun fact, by the way, we didn't take the whole room water cooling apparatus,
the, the radiator and like the weird wooden frame that we had for it off of there until probably
about three years after we moved out. And when I went up there to get it, when I finally got around
to it, it was so rotten that it could have fallen off like at any moment and like killed someone.
So that never happened. Luckily, which is good with inflation and rising interest rates,
not to mention the chaotic controversial year we've had. We ran out of money and we can't afford
our office buildings anymore. However, the good news is I was able to hold on to one of our assets,
the old Langley house. So one little eviction notice to the tenants later. Avala, the new
Linus Media Group, old office. Okay, cool. Can we do it? Can we do it one more time? So what
I'll do is... Are they empty? No, they are full. I'm gonna start tighter on you and pull
wider. Oh my God. Okay. I don't think this could go in the actual video. This is probably
more behind the scenes. Oh my God. Oh, wow. Good job.
Can't tell if that was a compliment. I think it's worse than I imagined.
Oh my God, we moved the poor editors here too. Everybody's here Linus. The whole company.
Wow. Okay, let's do another take.
For the actual video. The video where it is right now, you are standing here and the camera's pointing
this way. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you're like, you're in it. You're like, oh, writers, how's it going?
Okay, okay. So this was just for the behind the scenes. Yeah, I think it was worth getting.
Thank goodness, because, yeah, okay. Are you even pretending to be doing work?
I don't even have a laptop. The company's so broke. So I have to use my personal phone.
And I don't have a chair. This is the bus. This is my chair. And I have a cup holder with
whoever this thing is. I mean, in fairness, I did tell David and Taryn because I had to get
sign off now that like we have real leadership at our company. Everyone pay attention to me.
I did tell them. We are using a shotgun mic. So it's really important that you project.
So make sure that if Linus asks you a question or you want to interject that it's
out of certain volume that you're, you know, speaking up. Yes.
I did tell them that my expectation was basically two to three full days of loss
productivity. So I guess this is fine. Yeah, it works. I missed this house.
Do you work here for like two weeks?
It was so hot. That is like two weeks, buddy. Yeah, I was like, it was like two weeks.
My first day they were like, pick up a moving box, help us move. Yeah. And Dennis only started like a week before Colton. Oh, no, you guys start on the same day.
No, I smacked him at the, at a park, which shouldn't challenge the purple one.
I thought his name was Paul. Oh, yeah, you told me it was Paul. Yeah.
Do I look like a, I look like a Paul. I can't even see you. You're so dark.
You're so dark. Genuinely though, does it bring back memories?
Yes, this, because the first day I entered the store, I was late for an hour.
Yeah, that looks the same. Yeah, you got the time zones screwed up.
You know what's crazy though? It's like, I feel like this house was so much of the company history,
but not a single person in this room other than me actually worked here.
We shot one once after, I think three months after. Not even Jake.
We shot one video here, the RGB bill guide, but it was already a weird shoot where they were letting
us film it here, even though they lived here. Yeah. So you're the only one in here who has
ever actually worked in this building. Yeah, Dennis, but that's crazy. Okay. Oh, look,
it's the one and only Colton Potter here to conduct a business transaction with the one
and only Duffy Potter. And there's a baby if you need a baby for the shoot.
Should we make sure you put a bit in the video? Oh my God, you guys are all over the stairs.
Does it, does it bring back memories? Absolutely. Yeah. I have some boxes in that.
Actually, I broke a drone too and the Nick took the fall for me. You were really mad about that.
That's on a channel, super fun somewhere. Yeah, it's the drone racing. Yeah, it was, yeah.
It wasn't that it got broken. It was like got broken off camera. Like it was particularly
irresponsible in some way. Yeah, there's a tendency for people to break things and not
fess up to it right away. And that was a good example of that. Yeah, but I don't work here.
So I was like, Hey, I mean, Taren Van Hiemer is not here anymore. So that's why we have toilet
paper. That's an inside joke. He admitted in his off-boarding that he used to steal toilet
paper from the company. From that very bathroom. He posted it on YouTube. It's not an inside
joke. Yeah, it's, it's, well, I just mean it's inside anyone who, outside of anyone who, if you
haven't watched that video, you won't get it. Apparently the very fake move has claimed its
first very real victim. Alex's workstation might be dead. It doesn't turn on anymore.
We had a power surge while it was doing Windows update.
Actually by a power surge, I mean it turns out that switch right there turns off all our computers.
And David hit it.
Wow, we just throw David under the bus there.
I'm just saying, we thought Eli would get here first because it's like a pound of aluminum right there. There's like a pound of aluminum. Yeah, there's a spearhead just waiting to fall
off. Don't forget the dinosaur. Yeah, I mean this is Elijah's safe.
I managed to save some old rocks from Luke's build. Where'd you find those?
Week one of my employment, I took them.
Week one.
Don't worry buddy, you'll get up here one day. Can't fall. I'm already on the ground.
One more time.
Maybe go like Brightside. I can't fall down if I'm already on the ground.
Don't worry buddy, you'll get up here one day. Brightside, I can't fall down. I'm already on the ground.
I'm sure he'll find a way. All right, this is, wow, this is really, this is really great here.
Oh my god, I actually almost died. Yeah, whatever you do, do not stop rolling, Sandy.
I never stop rolling. Like this is gold this year. Literally, no one's allowed outside without a pass.
I mean, yard time like in prison, you know, time away from your cell to joke.
Quiet on set.
Oh, so yeah, I was thinking quiet on set, you're like walking behind him, because you're going to like come to the fridge and be like,
oh, obviously going from four fridges. Okay, maybe give me a longer pause than before the quiet on set.
And then we'll need a shot of everyone not reacting. Oh, actually, okay, yeah, one more time.
Should we maybe use like a fake laugh? It might not. Oh, like an audience.
Like editing data. What about all of us in unison?
Let's do a couple takes. We'll do one where someone just looks up with disdain,
but then we'll do a couple synchronized laughs. Okay, camera rolling.
Um, from the table front. Did we do our best to let the staff have their yard time?
Not literally. I mean, no one's allowed to go outside without a pass.
I mean, yard time like like prison, like time away from your cells.
It's a joke.
Um, anyway, one on set. Oh, that's fine.
Oh, what's the line? Obviously going from four fridges.
Okay, we can do this. No, they're okay. Is that okay? That was really good up until I clubbed the continuation.
Yeah, yeah, I screwed that up. Okay.
Got domed by the, uh, the lamp.
Elijah, you keep that helmet on. Yes, sir. That is a workplace hazard if you're not wearing it.
You're going to have notice helmet. You're going to be going to hear, and when he's done talking about the fridge,
he's going to come and you're going to hold a piece of pizza. Maybe wash your hands.
You're going to hold the pizzas if you're about to eat it. He's going to snatch it from your hand and eat it.
So are we going for it again here?
Okay. I don't mean literally.
No one's allowed outside without a pass. It's, I mean, yard time like in a prison, like time away from the cell.
It's a joke.
We're saying quite on set when there's already quiet.
Uh, oh yeah. Okay. Okay. Maybe the case. Why don't we shoot the reverse and we'll do the synchronized.
Haha first. And that can be the like, be the quite on set.
Okay. All right. Oh, that's pretty good. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's just do it again then.
Okay. Yeah. Let's do it again. I think that we can come around because we'll have to redo it again.
Okay. Yeah. One more time then. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you saying we're doing the synchronized left? We're doing the synchronized left.
Okay. Let's all do a practice then. Okay.
So basically, if you guys all do, um. Oh, it's a joke.
Yeah, it's a joke.
Okay. That's probably too long. Maybe just give it like, uh. How many cut-a-maws?
Four haws? Yeah. Four haws and you'll cut us off. Alex, cut us off just after the second.
Should it be a little bit more realistic? What if I just cut us off by going like, shh.
It's pretty good. I don't know that the like synchronous one vibes that well.
I think we should just fake laugh. Yeah. Can I hear two seconds or just like.
Okay. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah. Maybe not synchronized.
How are we feeling, vibe-wise? I think that's good. Okay. All right. And he will get a reverse shot.
I liked you on the death or on the thing getting, and do like a kind of a shot of everyone being like,
we'll do that after. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And rolling. Um, potato farm.
We do our best to let the staff. Oh, speak to the field of.
We do our best to give our staff their yard time. I don't mean that in a literal sense.
No one's allowed outside until the past. Like yard time, like a prison, you know.
Time away from yourself. It's a joke.
Why don't say it? Now, one big challenge is going from four fridges to one
has led to some significant food storage problem.
So we started organizing pizza lunches every eating day.
Everyone gets a slice and the cleanup is super easy too.
That's good. It's really nice because, uh, we've been doing most of our vlogs these days.
Because this is where we've been doing most of them.
So this was great, right? So the only thing is I see, I see David like moving you.
Basically, can you crouch under the thing and then it let Linus pass.
And when he's over there, you go back and then you kind of pan back towards that direction.
Okay. So you, yeah, you go where Andy is right now and kind of hide
under the desk. And then once Linus passes you, you kind of pop up and
you're going to be there eating so that. So I'm over there. Yeah. Hold on.
Let's get rid of this. Okay. So we organize pizza lunches every eating day and then.
So now you're leaving there. Yeah. This actually works better if it's the last piece.
Yeah. That I'm right, right, right, right, right, right. Taking from. You're going to be opening it, taking, go to take the piece.
Don't actually lift it up. Go to take the last piece and you're going to get in there.
And basically just like cheers you, walk away, take a bite,
come back to the kitchen and then just throw it over my shoulder into the garbage. Okay.
Okay. Okay. Okay. So last thing you did was.
Food storage is an issue. So we started organizing pizza lunches every eating day.
Everyone gets a slice and hey, cleanup is easy too.
Which is nice because we've been doing most of our vlogs
here in the kitchen. It's like the good old days, only cozier.
He's contractually obligated to do that.
Okay. Okay. How's that feel? That was really good. Is your Phoebe okay?
Yeah. Thanks for your part of the shoot. You're welcome, Sam.
We like to have fun around here. I don't think you have that much fun with your legs.
I don't want to do this on my birthday every year.
Okay. It's your birthday. I'm supposed to be on vacation. That's true. I'm supposed to be in Japan.
That's not David's fault though. 100% not David's fault. That was just a scheduling issue.
Thank you by the way. But yeah, no, seriously though.
Okay. We got to talk about the next year. Yeah. Well, I'm excited about the next one.
Okay. Oh, you know what the idea is. I do know what the idea is. Okay. Line.
First line here, I think. So the techniques just happen and he's like, be quiet!.
So you're going to kind of give it in like hush tones. You're going to be like, oh, this is like where logistic was supposed to go.
And then we're outside and you're like, rolling up the back.
Okay. Okay.
This is where, where's this? That's going to be logistic. And we're going to go that way.
We're not going out. I know. If I were you, I would just kind of come over here, Andrew and shoot this direction.
Oh, that line. We're like a big family, right? Oh, I missed that.
We were originally planning to put logistics here, but then I had a little brainstorm.
Cool. Cool. Perfect. Cutting.
Okay. And then are we just going to extend that bit a little bit with just like footage of them working here?
Yeah, I think we, I think we get a couple shots of them working. Yeah. You know what would be actually really cool is if we had like a bit of an over edited
montage of them, like, Oh, doing like literally nothing. Working.
I don't know if we have time for that. So I leave that up to
Like, like fingers and click and melt mice and that kind of thing.
Yeah. But like, it's more in the way it's edited than the actual things anyone is doing.
But yeah, same wavelength in terms of what you guys should be capturing.
Yeah, sure. But I leave that up to kind of Emily and Nicole, I guess you guys are
So if someone has time to separate from the main edit,
do that montage of just like the editors showing off a little bit and edit of them editing,
but like the most like in like zoomer in actions, edit of editing ever.
So that's kind of the concept. But if we don't have time for it, just say line us off even the time we're spending talking about this is always and that's fine too.
Okay. Okay. All right. I'm just going to like settle in right next to him.
So perfect. I'm going to get exposure here. Good.
And rolling. Oh, hi, Mark.
Ah, I see you're working on one of my favorite sponsored projects here.
This battery solution from Ugreen.
Really, anything is my favorite as long as it's a sponsor who hasn't abandoned us because of our cost of controversies.
I I I didn't hate your album, but I think it's better as written.
Oh, it's better to be like one of my favorite products, something that isn't there's something that's sponsored.
Ugreen. And I'll go into you instead of out.
Oh, hi, Mark. I see you're working off of one of my favorite types of products.
Anything from a sponsor who hasn't abandoned us over our constant stream of controversies.
Like Ugreen. Oh, which brings us actually to problem number two.
Power. Wait, did we ever say problem number one?
Or is that just an apartment we haven't done yet? I don't remember starting problem number two.
Hey, why don't we say Ugreen, but I don't I'm lacking context. It's Ugreen.
Oh, they sponsored it, right?
Oh, what? Is this a problem? Uh, I don't know what Jeff.
Why are we making?
Oh, but does Ugreen still work with us? Yes, yes, yes. Oh, okay. Then that's fine.
Yeah, yeah. Then they're just getting a friendly photo for being a part of. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Yeah. Sammy, everything's okay. Yeah, everything's okay. Huh?
Okay, but to address the... Nothing is actually plugged into this and running off of it though.
Yeah. No. Okay. Just it'll show all zeros then.
You should be plugged on the end. Oh, I'll have a look. Why don't you just unplug everything while he's working on it?
Yeah. If you do it fast enough.
Okay. Uh... You didn't brush the problem back a little bit.
Okay. Uh... No, no, you're good, you're good, you're good. Nobody should move out of the way for me.
It's funnier if I have to crawl through things. So don't worry about that.
You can like crawl over me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't have even asked.
I'm a method actor. So if I'm playing an asshole today, then I'm just an asshole.
And I'm acting every day. So...
Who turned these on? Who turned these on?
Doesn't include a budget for lights.
I think...
By the way, your guys' reactions were perfect. I almost lost my s***.
So you were like, you're like, who turns these on? Who turns these on?
And then it'll be you at the lightswitch being like... Sure. Yeah, that doesn't include a budget for lights.
Or were you just shooting faces or anything? Okay, let's just get a quick insert of someone
just like stone-faced work. Actually, Maria's perfect. Just look into your screen just like stone-faced.
Like you're actively ignoring me. Who turned on the... Who turned on this light?
Who turned on the light?
Okay, yeah, that's good. So we've got that. Maybe get Nicole change, absolutely.
No, no, no, no, no, no. And then get Nicole.
Okay, go for it.
Okay, perfect. And then Matt masks the cut so I can like climb over Hoffman to hit the lightswitch.
Because that was what you wanted, right, David? It's like... This is great.
I love this. Like, was this the one? Oh, yeah. I'm so happy right now.
Ready? Okay, go for it. How much work are you getting done? Perfect.
Okay. One more just in case. Quite a bit.
Shockingly, the editing department is still being surprisingly productive.
It's funny, I had kind of forgotten that they were moved in here. So I've been like sending notes and stuff on Trello over the last few days.
You know, as those things are supposed to be getting done.
Like, lift it up. Are you guys on laptops? Yeah. Yeah, okay.
Well, I mean, you guys are senior, right? So theoretically, you should be able to compensate with skill.
I don't know if it works for video editing. Yeah.
High five. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, well, Maria's got like the Max Studio and...
Like, odd fit, I didn't even want that. Do you have a Pro Display XDR?
That's not... How did you state that? She's got a XDR. That's not XDR.
That's not XDR. That's the normal size. Oh, that's the normal size. Oh, wait a minute.
That one has the... That's also... That's a mini. That's a mini, yeah.
Oh, that's the mini. That's a mini. You're doing the inserts, right? Yeah, I do.
Every time we do, every time we do, we want to buy. Wow. Just the monitor.
System works. What do you think of the... Linus?
What do you think of the mannequin? Yeah, I was wondering about that.
The, um... The gloves, or something.
The gloves? The gloves. What is the, um...
Yeah, what? Yeah, what?
That's what the reaction kind of wanted, yeah. Why does Emily have to hang out
next to its junk like that? It's like, right there.
Sorry? Oh. Are you going to save her? Only one of them is, like, right there.
Oh, okay. Oh, I was confused for a second.
Do you have our mirror, as well? Yeah.
Yeah. We don't need it. We don't sleep. We just edit. No love.
No love? Just edit. Yeah. What a classic. This is...
Yeah, wow. Great.
And I'm always watching. Yeah, that's a good idea.
Watch your... Always supervising. He's freaked me out before.
Don't scare me when I can't move my brain LED. I'm just going to have a seat right here.
Okay, roll it. One of the ideas we had to solve this was
to just have the editors work off of power-efficient laptops, you know, the kind that can be quickly grabbed in a hurry,
but we realized that most of what we had on hand
just wasn't sufficient for any kind of computation-heavy workload like rendering video.
I'm currently testing. Damn it. Sorry. I'm so sorry.
I haven't deposed it on YouTube yet. Oh my God, like the face Abby has.
It's so good. Is someone fart? Is someone farting?
I'm... Hey, you're in the house. You're done. He's out.
So crap. You're addicted. Gonna milk you gold.
Are you recording your audio? Didn't you even get that audio? Yeah, I'm recording it. Thanks.
You don't want to open that. I mean, realistically, we're a great company
that deserves their support anyway. Like, look at this.
Ploof, this is a great workstation you've got here. It's very ergonomic.
I was working on an upcoming video where we're giving away gaming rigs to people who ask for them in the comments.
Isn't that a great idea? What? What? That's what you're working on.
Ask for them in the comments? Yeah.
Look at me. Oh, God. You know, and then just here's the ring roll every time someone actually wins.
Don't worry. It's fine. Won't cost anything. Oh, God. Okay.
Okay. I was funny when we were really making that video.
That's what he's actually working on. Wait, no.
We're not giving away setups in the comments.
The Instagram ones. The April Fool's Ploof. No, no, no, no.
Oh, no, no. That's fake. Oh, fuck. I don't know what's going on.
We're working on that video where we're giving away a setup. Yeah. Yeah, we're giving away a GPU.
We're not giving away a gaming rig. Yeah, 4090.
No, just the, or 40, no, just the 4080. Super.
Oh, that's annoying. That's annoying. It's a whole other...
Yeah. You talked to me about it today. We are technically giving it away to a guy in the comments.
To a guy in the comments. Yeah. Okay. Now we're in the bathroom comments.
Everyone's gonna comment now. Yeah, they're lined up. Yeah. We know. That's funny.
That's why we're actually gonna... Linus. That's great. I loved his reaction. It was like, actually, like, what the fuck?
Linus. And at some point, Linus. Oh, yeah. We have, he's gonna explain all the bathroom service.
Like, the logins, we've tried. Yeah. And he's just gonna jump again.
Two, three, two, one. That was good.
Okay. Okay. There should be somebody in there and he goes, Get up. Get up.
Get up. He's gonna go, Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up.
Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. Get up. He wants to be the person.
Get up. Do you want my pants down? Oh, my God.
Ah. No, maybe not. Oh, not necessary. Yeah.
It's so funny. Only if you're wearing a piece, you gotta wear it. Yeah.
What the f**k is this company?
We're just trying to work with this. He's committed a bit.
Can't tell how much of it's a joke and how much of it's real. Yes.
At least one writer is writing a resume.
Does someone want to pull up a resume template or something like that
and just put some not-format submitted? Yeah.
This is an awkward question, but does anyone have a reasonably up-to-date resume?
Don't answer that. Don't answer that. We brought all this stuff here and no one thought to bring an air freshener.
I have one. Oh, we've got a James for that. I did bring one in.
You have one? Yeah. Like the spray kind? Yeah. What?
Oh, I mean, that might actually be the use of it. Imagine you're not going to be a joke about this.
No, no, no. I got Scott necessary. Yeah. So, like the camera and your agent. Oh, my God.
There's so many things that you didn't even think to put in the... Sammy, are you ready?
Oh, I'm not. I'll pull the way. I'll pull the way.
Oh, OK. Guys, there's so many things that we didn't even think to script into this
because we had to plan the whole thing before we actually got in here.
But like the shoe storage situation is hilarious.
Like if I'd thought of it, I would have totally had like a...
something, but I'll just add liquid in for when I'm going to the bathroom.
I'll just like step on everyone's shoes, I guess. I don't know. I don't know where you do that.
No. It has liquid ass. No, it's the opposite.
It doesn't even smell in there. I think we threw up the liquid ass like a week ago.
Elijah, Andy can see you if you go in there. Why did we throw that away?
I have no idea. We might still have it around, dude.
OK. Again? You have your own bathroom.
Dude. I take it back. Go ahead.
Jeez.
What are you doing? You're done. Oh, I don't know where I'm going.
I can't go this way. I can't go this way because I'm standing right in front of the camera.
Where am I supposed to go? I'm sorry. OK, cutting.
Funny because we're actually working out of here right now
and these are actual problems. That was great though, yeah.
Was that fine? Do we want to breathe in? Yeah, that was hilarious.
Do you want it again? I like though, like when he's like, oh, you have your own bathroom.
We're like, that's all the way upstairs and then you close the door.
Oh, OK. Do you want me to... Do an all version of it. It takes. Yeah, do both. OK.
Actually, no, let's just have Adam be outraged.
And then we have a toilet joke and then I'm like, yeah, but that's all the way upstairs
and it's a pretty heavy emergency.
OK. Yeah, that's probably... I think it's worth it, David.
It's low brow, but it's our brow. Let's just say there's only one part of me that's going to be running.
Oh, God.
OK.
And yeah, that's rich coming from Potter over here or like potty.
Oh, come on.
OK, so we just need to pick a low merit individual.
So we can go back to someone we've seen already.
We have a joke about Colton, but Colton's always a safe bet, so...
Yeah, yeah. Let's meet up Colton. You're good, Josh. Colton, you OK when you call the low merit individual?
Yeah. Let's just get everyone... He called it.
Yeah, I'm down with the... What are you doing? Let's just get everyone...
Did you make an appointment? I'm just hanging out down the street.
Watch my videos. Hold on, let me...
Confidential. As for the post-lunch drop off rush and the low merit individuals who just can never really
earn any bathroom time, we operate a shuttle to the local Starbucks where our Mac Address
writer, Jonathan Horst, has made his office.
In fact, he blends in so well with the crowd of Opsie-Fopsie people on the MAC books.
He's been there for weeks and they haven't even noticed him.
Was it fun that I looked back in like horror or what? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think I just twisted my ankle.
That's why you're laughing. I read a lot of comments, right?
And one of the funniest ones that I've actually seen a lot of lately is people talking about
like I do something good in the video or something bad in the video and how it's like...
It's like, yeah, but Linus is reading a script and so often it's on completely unscripted
videos. That's so funny. I think people think, oh, we have scripts.
Therefore, every word is scripted. Do you have any idea how impossible that would be for the amount of content we produce?
Like, do you have any idea how much writing goes into like the natural dialogue in a movie
like Pulp Fiction? Impossible.
We're not good enough. Yeah, a lot of the time the script is...
It's pirate code, man.
Okay, so this is why I couldn't do a call with Ploof earlier.
This is the entire networking center for... No, no, no, there's a whole server room.
Yeah, yeah, this is just the switch down side. Oh, fantastic. Okay, I just accidentally opened the wrong backpack.
Ever since we issued these to everyone in the company, it's been a serious actual problem.
Oh, yeah. I think that was it? No, that's okay, that's mine.
I put yours back. Oh, okay. Stay away, no idea which functions at all.
Yeah, they're talking about the knives. Yeah, it's...
Where'd it go? What? The ashes appeared.
Because they have my...
Don't worry, I don't want eight people looking for my backpacks.
I'm reminded of the hooks I used to have in the ceiling for actual cable management up the stairs.
Before we shoot the joke about cables running up the stairs.
I just moved the stairs. Yeah, yep. I didn't bother putting in anchors for most of them.
I just screwed them into the drywall. That worked?
Look, we actually had this level of resources, so all jokes aside.
Oh, okay. Yeah, here's one. I dug in yours. Oh, yeah. Do you need your... Yeah, do you need your jacket?
Do you need the hoodie or not? You took it off. Do you need it or not?
Oh, that's a good ship. Yeah, yep. And it gave me a...
I mean, you can take it off in this shop though, if you want.
We wanted to put the servers downstairs, but now that we can't afford his executive level salary anymore,
Luke's back to living in the basement. Hey, Luke!
Working hard or hardly working? F*** you!
We're good friends. All right. Here on the stairs, we've got our business and procurement teams.
I don't know. Damn it. One more time. Okay, okay.
Okay, I'm rolling. We wanted to put that downstairs, but now that we can't afford his executive pay grade anymore,
Luke is back to living in the basement. Hey, Luke!
Working hard or hardly working?
Yeah, you too, buddy. With all the changes that we're making around here, we decided there was nothing more important
than to streamline the money-making processes. And we're putting it all right into our script writing now.
Hey, you make me any money today, Sharad? Absolutely.
Is that it? Wait, are you on LinkedIn? No.
He's not. Um, okay.
I think it needs to be a little bit more fluid than that.
Luke, we got top down with you. When he asked you making money, that'd be like, no one wants to sponsor videos.
Okay. Oh, yeah, but did we not touch him about that? No, I didn't tell him.
That was good though, yeah. Let's get it out. Okay, so can you pull up LinkedIn then?
And then let's get it over the shoulder of him, definitely looking at LinkedIn.
And then we'll use that to map the cut. Here. Okay.
Do you mind pulling up LinkedIn on your laptop? I went to sleep with your backup.
Good origin computer. It's also at 15%, so hopefully it'll live.
It's on the spot now. Right? Yeah. Come on, buddy.
Come on, you got this. The keyboard looks nice.
I'll be like, is that linked? Oh my god, did this thing just hard reboot?
I'm not gonna say bye. I don't know. I can jump over it?
No, no. Don't really pass that up to Carl. Carl?
Oh my god, is that actual barbed wire? No.
Hey, another little flashback.
I went up on a very dangerous ladder to put covers on those lights.
You could see the tape is still there. It turns out that gaff tape is only non-marking if you leave it for just a short while.
That's very permanent.
Oh, let's go. Okay. Okay, that'd be good.
This is honestly like a security, not security, but like information-controlled nightmare.
Like having everyone who is working on like confidential stuff just like packed in with
everyone.
You want mine? I'll pull it up on my phone. That's fine. You want to use my laptop?
Sure, yeah. We've got the original take with this one.
Yeah, okay. It's pretty, pretty obvious.
Yeah, I'll pull up, I'll pull up indeed on my phone.
I'm going to ask, is that linked in open on your phone?
You could just be like, well, I would have opened it on my laptop, but the battery's dead.
That's not really my point, just be like- I could just close the laptop when you asked if I've been selling sponsors or I'm like,
yeah, no one wants sponsors videos anymore and then you're like, oh, is that indeed on your
phone? I actually want to go the other order.
So basically your line is while the battery is dead on my laptop and there's no power
outlet on the stairs. And then I'll be like, yeah, okay, is that linked in on your phone?
Or indeed? Okay, is that indeed on your phone?
And then be like, well, my laptop battery is dead and there's no outlet on the stairs.
Like that's not my point. What do you, what do you got job searches open for?
Well, no one's buying sponsorship. I'm going to be like, ah, you're such a kidder and then we're going to quickly get away from them.
Everyone still wants sponsorships. Is that, does that kind of work? Yeah.
We good? Yeah. Okay. All right, let's do it.
You making me any money today, sure aren't we? Why you got linked in open on your phone?
Well, I would have opened it on my laptop, but there are no outlets around.
So it's dead. That's not my point.
Why are you, are you jobs hunting? I mean, no one wants sponsored videos.
I get it. Everyone wants sponsored videos.
As for any confidential calls, the business team just takes those in their cars.
In the cars then. Sorry, sorry, sorry. For f*** sakes, man.
In the car. Okay, okay, sorry, sorry. The boss is yelling at me, I gotta go.
Just give me that. I'll talk to you in a minute.
I gotta have a chat with them first.
Maybe outside. Okay. We'll be out there eventually.
Take your phone. Take your phone.
Okay. I don't know about that one.
Other than some people who can't. Oh, okay. So Sven, we need you on the stairs taking a call and then we need you to kind of,
we need to get some audio of him louder. Because he was respectfully quiet for the shot when that was not the point.
So let's get some loud audio of Sven just like. It'll be all shot of you walking down the street like a long way from your car
and you'll try and open your door and it'll be locked. Okay, oh, is he the one?
Yeah. Oh, that's great. Okay, okay, so should we get Sven on the stairs now?
Yeah, we're waiting for other people. Okay, yeah, Sven, do you want to come sit on the stairs?
And then we somehow need Andrew in here. Yes, do we have any shots of these guys?
Oh, yeah, we've got Andy for the first time. Oh my God, this is amazing. Okay.
I'm coming up. All right. Oh, no, you're not.
Perfect. All right, cool. How are you looking so far? This is so much better than I could have possibly imagined.
I legitimately feel bad for the conditions that people are working in,
which was the goal, right? Yeah, the goal.
It was. It was the goal. It sucks.
Yeah, which is good. Because like, fake is funny, like a bit, but real is so much funnier.
So the schedule for this week was I, okay, today is, oh my God, I'm so jet-lagged right now.
It's today Wednesday. Tuesday. Oh, okay. So today is Tuesday.
So yesterday, I think everyone was basically like, grab your stuff and get over here.
No, this looks like more than one day. No, yesterday was Crater Warehouse, Socials, Cameron Dunne.
Today was accounting. Some people moved in today.
Yeah. Oh, that's crazy. So there won't be Tuesday moving.
Tuesday, Wednesday, shoot. And then Thursday, Friday, is everybody like gets out of here?
Yeah, Thursday, Friday. Yeah, Thursday, Friday, we shoot. And then next week, the actual people who live here now, we're going to have the movers that
took all their stuff out, move all their stuff back in.
Oh man. I mean, it's a pretty sweet deal, you know, like go on two week vacations.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, I guess I should say, we didn't just like demand this.
We not only like obviously are paying for everything to be moved out, moved back in
and the house cleaned, but we also sent the entire family that lives here on vacation
during the time that we're here. So it's two weeks of vacation. So that was the deal.
Fun fact, we've actually owned that vest that Colin is wearing
since we worked out of this house. And we used to store it in what used to be our props closet, which is now the
like main bedroom walking closet. And I'm not going to open because that's one of the things that we didn't clear out.
This is the first time I've been in my office, though. This is great.
This used to be the editing then. So Edzel was here.
Brandon was here. Nick Van Berkel was here.
Taryn was here. And then I sat with the editors.
Wow, really, really guys bring that memories, man.
That's the exact same thing. Just sat here and just stood here for a bit. Who did?
Dennis. Oh, there he is.
Okay, I don't want to see too much. I don't want to see too much yet. We haven't shot a lot of it yet.
Sorry.
How do you think people are going to react to this? Do you think it's better than the potato from last year?
I think that this is...
See, I always second guess myself because the best April Fools are the ones where you go...
You know, but like it could be believable.
And on the one hand, I mean, to me, this is obviously so stupid
that it couldn't possibly be believable. But there are a lot of people who actually believe that we are in financial dire straits
and to whom a move like this could be considered to be conceivable or something.
I don't know. And who actually think that I'm some kind of tyrannical monster.
So to those people, I mean, I guess I don't feel bad fooling them.
And then to everyone else, hopefully they just think it's funny.
I think it's funnier than last year. I think the somewhat, maybe sort of believability of it
makes it funnier than the potato farm.
And what's great is like Sharad is actually on a call right now.
He's got a call in 10 minutes. Yeah, he's trying to figure it out.
It's like, this is hilarious. This behind the scenes, honestly, I think is going to be in some ways better than the main video
because the main video is going to be all like scripted and stuff. And this one is going to be no, no, but we actually did it.
And all the real problems that we actually have.
Yeah, it's going to be, yeah, it was a struggle going up and down every like five minutes.
So I'm kicking people. I was like, I kicked someone in the head, I think. I said, I'm sorry. Yeah, and every schedule?
I don't know. It's the kind of thing that like, we've done some really painful shoots before.
You add first weather conditions or just like really grueling days.
And it's one of those things when, where when you're in it, it sucks.
But years later, you let you look back and you're like, oh my God, remember that time
we moved into the house for three days? That was awful. What's going on in the backyard?
You know, we used to shoot b-roll on this balcony. Oh, really? Yeah.
We're getting the b-roll shots of the gaming chair. Yeah.
Yeah, we're getting the aggregating our neighbors internet shots.
Oh, nice. Nice. That's hilarious.
Was that your idea? I think that was your idea. I can't remember. I think it was.
At this point, every discussion I've had blends into one big company idea and we've worked
on this together. But David did a lot of it, actually.
The dragon energy was very strong on this one.
I hate that green screen, by the way. The green screen is so...
This looks so good. Oh my God.
It's almost like you don't need a good one. So are we just going to straight-face upload this and not acknowledge it at all?
We're doing it Wednesday, the real one. And it'll be probably about this bad.
So yes. Why what... Oh, no. Hold on.
Wait. Shouldn't we... Okay, hold on. What... So what is Riley doing when he's here?
So we're faking that we're shooting a tech wind. Okay. So this isn't real that we're shooting today.
We're just like setting up and starting. And then it'll be a shot of like, oh, that's what it looks like.
But then on Wednesday, he's coming back and we're shooting a real tech link that will be uploaded that day.
But we are just going to completely not acknowledge it.
That's awesome. Yeah. So it's like... That's so funny. It'll be like Rancho where it's like, obviously something's up,
but like, we're not really dealing with it. Oh, I love it.
Oh, are we acknowledging it on land that we're going in a different set? No. I'll be cool.
No, no. Luke and I are just going to straight up ignore anyone's comments about it.
The other thing you could do is be like, you know, we are going to talk about it.
We just don't... Not yet. Not yet. I don't think I should.
I want to go absolutely silent. Nothing. Yeah, just let them stew.
I vibe. Yeah. No, because we were like, why was it going so early?
Because we thought it was going to be shot here. We were like, why? Why? What was going so early?
We thought like, we were going to tell that we're shooting in the Langley House on Friday.
And we thought we're going to acknowledge that we're in the Langley House. Oh, no. Yeah. So we all thought we're like, no.
Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Nothing gets acknowledged until you put the first.
Okay. Hi, Riley. Hi. He's here.
This is great. Okay. Now I feel, I mean, the news team people aren't here.
No, just over the past. I don't think we hit them for this part. Yeah, I know.
I mean, I figured that like, they wouldn't be... See if it's great.
Got a green screen, Riley. Yeah, yeah, that's, that actually, I'm...
Apparently, Nicole had to make it worse. It was actually like, pretty good.
Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious.
Yeah. Nicole, you sandbagged it?
Yeah. Oh, that's hilarious.
Man, is it, are we using that black magic thing?
Really? Oh, wow. Green screening has gotten really good because like,
we honestly had a better setup than this back in the day and we could hardly get it to look usable.
Can we not have Riley off-screen? Can we just have him on-screen because of the way we shot that?
It might be easier to master cut that way. So we just have...
So instead, it says Riley off-screen. We're about to shoot Tech Link. Can we just have him on-screen?
Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm just looking at the shot of him. Yes. Yeah, I think you're right. I'd prefer that.
Because yeah, we're not going to be able to get a good matching shot of you. Exactly.
Linus, I can hear you! They're like, this sucks! So at the end of his line, that hard cuts to outside.
So there wouldn't be a spot for it. Oh, okay. I like that idea.
I like your...
After today, I'm actually going to read this article.
Slash us, slash us. Linus, one step to your right, and then turn around under 80 degrees.
Yeah, and then turn around that way? Yeah, that's perfect. Like doing the dip real quick? Yeah, of course.
You can see that. You can see that, but it's... If anything, that's more in focus than I am.
Is that supposed to be a live feed?
So is he just going to kind of like go along with it? He'd be surprised.
He'd be surprised at similarities. Oh my god.
Okay, that's really funny. Good morning! Okay, so you're good.
Was this actually less work than just having a live feed?
Yes. Oh, okay. Well, we would have to bring the ultimate set up and fiddle with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We had the discussion, yeah.
I love it. I love it. That's great. Okay, so starting here...
Line. And I'm saying... I'm reading, I'm talking.
You're talking, but do it, no... We'll get real audio tech link.
So we have Riley saying, okay, guys, quiet down, more suit, more suit, blah, blah, blah.
And I go, oh, look, they're about to shoot tech link. And I'll just turn around. Yeah, yeah, bro.
And then we can totally use Riley's thing, because remember, I like whispering.
We can just get him saying like,
minus, I can still hear you. And then I just keep f***ing talking.
It's supposed to be whispering. Yeah, if you keep delivering it, yes, you can talk over it.
I did. Last time. Yes, let's do that. So then he can, we can just get an audio.
Yeah, because you can't move too much. That's the problem is you can't like turn and address him.
No, no, no. Yeah, just audio, just Riley's audio. Like literally just going to keep looking and be like,
and Apple is going to release Linus, I can still hear you. Yeah, I like that.
I like that. That's good. How are we going to deal with that?
My stuff just, oh right, because I go outside. Yeah.
So we're just going to have a bit of a drone of Riley trying to tech link.
Yeah. Um, yeah. And then we'll bring in the real audio that we're shooting here,
only when he's getting upset. Thanks to the AI. Oh, hello.
You're just audio, right? Yeah. Thanks to AI, Apple's next iPad is expected to have a sense of self,
and Linus, I can still hear you.
Yep. That's good.
Can we do one more version where Riley gets, where Riley does an eye,
eyes over here? Yeah. So I'll give you an eye line. I'm basically like here creeping around, like whispering.
See, I'm shooting as well. So I think I've got it. Okay. Okay.
Thanks to AI, Apple's next iPad is supposed to have a sense of self, Linus.
I can hear you talking.
Come on. Okay.
Perfect. That's good. Go ahead. Yeah.
I'm all done. You are all done. You are all coming back tomorrow to actually shoot Tech Link here.
Yes. That is real. Okay. That sounds great. Because they're going to try and set it up.
Um, no acknowledgement though.
Yeah. It's just going to be a bad day. A bad green screen.
Yeah. And no reason given. Yeah. That was the idea. Okay. Cool. That would give people like, what is going on?
Yeah. And then the show is going to be ****ed. Yeah.
Oh really? Oh, are you doing it here? We're doing it here. Oh man. I know.
Good luck to you. Thank you. Oh, hi Dan. I can't be on camera right now.
Oh. Oh, no. I don't know if this is still a show business. Oh yeah. It's just for show time.
Oh, hi. That's totally fine. All right. Yeah. Wanshover battle.
You can't be on camera? I can't be the main video because my part's in the server.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. No, this is just for, honestly, the behind the scenes is so much better than...
Oh yeah. Well, this will be great. ...like everything else. How are you setting up Wanshover?
I... Here, do you want to come get a little closer to me? No, no, no. No, I don't want to see it yet.
Oh, I'm just going to talk. I'm just going to talk. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wait. Oh.
Yeah, we can just stem away if you want. Sure. Yeah, let's stem away. First.
Yeah. We actually did a couple of Wanshows in what was Luke's bench testing slash office area
against this wall. Okay. And then that didn't work, so we moved into here.
Okay, okay. So this... Here, Dan, come here.
Sure. So this is the entire throw distance between the back of the set.
Oh, God. And the camera. Okay.
We had a couch. We had about this much space behind the couch.
And then we just had a wall of boxes. I mean, you've seen the old Wanshows, right?
Yeah. And then we were basically... But why the boxes?
We had a coffee table here that just had the monitor for monitoring the stream.
Yeah. And then the camera on a tripod, and this is the entire space we had.
Amazing. Amazing. Do we have a good enough connection here?
Yeah, we'll be okay. Because it's 750 unity, right?
I don't know. They've had a lot of problems today.
Okay, well, we'll find out. I mean, that might be due to the server room, but we'll see.
Oh, am I going to see a thing? I do want to see it before we...
No, no, no. I'll wait. I'll wait. Okay, you should wait. Yes. Let's get you in the server room, because I'm going to walk in.
All right, cool. I'm so excited for this part.
This barbed wire. It's fake.
It's fake. I was about to say they couldn't possibly make it any worse than it actually used to be,
but it's David and Dan, so I think I have faith.
Hey, Dan. I noticed that actually...
What's up? This guy.
I noticed that actual editors were actually editing downstairs.
Do we have a backup of the Wannick server here? We have the PNAS.
Oh, really? Yes, the PNAS is in service today.
And then how are we synchronizing the changes? I don't know.
I wasn't involved in that. Oh, okay. Neat.
Can't shoot for later. Was Sean involved in that? Yes. Oh, good.
Okay. I think Jake as well. Okay. All right. Just Dan.
Yeah, just making sure. Getting your Dan.
I just have to keep reminding myself. I talked to Teran about this and we were on the same page.
I think we agreed on two to three days of completely lost productivity for the company.
Look, April Fool's is my favorite day of the year, so...
How do we want up this, though? I don't know. I was just thinking like, how do you want up this?
It's kind of hard. I think it might be impossible. Yeah, we can absolutely get up.
My vision.
It's okay. It'll fix. It goes. It goes. It bounces.
But then you have your money angel. I saw that, too.
That's hilarious. Now, server room.
Oh, it's looking good.
Almost as good as our state-of-the-art server room.
Okay.
I didn't see you. I just heard no to this. I was like, that's weird.
Oh, my God. Okay, I think we might... We'll probably keep holding the door note.
I think we might use that for the behind the scenes.
Did we tell Dan the lines? No, he doesn't really have lines.
He didn't know. He didn't start me at all. Okay, perfect.
Oh, my God. Oh, God. What the f**k? The mirror.
The mirror. We pull... Oh, I see the mirror, Dan.
Did we pull these storage hangers back into duty or are they just here and dropped? No, they're just there and dropped, yeah.
Oh, my God. Okay.
All of this is actually in production. This is fun. Yeah.
So this is your backlight internet for the whole house.
And then the P&S is actually in service over there. The water is still turned on because we couldn't get under it.
So all of the power cables are in the sink.
Okay. Good. All right. So, um...
Yeah, what's going on? You look very disheveled in that. Thanks. That was weird.
That sounded really good. I'm really looking forward to shaving on Saturday.
Just specifically not. Just for this. That is hilarious.
Ah! The behind the scenes is so much better than the real video.
I accidentally shaved about a week after I spoke to David and was upset.
But I stopped since and it's getting really, really irritating.
How long did that take for that serving? Um, I think we spent a couple hours on it.
Just because we were making sure that the downstairs internet worked.
Because all of this actually has to be functional. Yeah.
Like, it's kind of a mix of set deck and other stuff like the cables.
It was really easy to patch because you just kind of get a cable and you drop it on the floor
and then you patch it in like an inch.
So that was a lot of fun. But yeah, it's actually in production.
The PNAS is basically with speeding all the editors.
This rack is actually functional. These two are not. Those are basically just fake.
Uh, mostly to make the new UDM Pro or whatever they are, light up more.
So yeah. Yeah.
And then because we're deploying new, what is it?
High availability Wecket Foster, new, new, old, new Wannock.
I'm kind of gotten a bit insane with the Wannock everywhere. Wannock 10.
Wannock 10. So like high and, you know, we've got like,
who's Wannock and Mother Vault and all that sort of stuff.
So we're going to grab the still frame and try to decipher this. I want people to try and get like,
Well, you're going to get either full plane or just get kind of like this. Okay, so we've got a couple of these guys in there.
I'm doing this for you full plane. Thank you.
Thanks full plane. Okay.
This is from those, uh, Varjo guys, right? Oh no, this is Meta.
Which Meta, which Meta is this? Oh, this is the first pro.
I didn't even recognize it. It's so irrelevant. Yeah.
So this is right outside. To do it. Yeah. I had a lot of fun today.
I, uh, I, I knew, I knew this would be fun for you.
I, I, I think it is. Yeah, this is more, it's funny.
I've had to like switch hats a couple of times between like writer and then project management into,
you know, making this happen. And so everyone's gone.
I know it's weird. Wow. There's so much room for activities now.
Anyone like land party? Let's go. Let's go. Oh, this is a pretty bad insistence.
This is hilarious, man. The, the fact that everyone was actually packed in here
and we cover it so little is what gives this the production values.
And I think the fact it's right at the beginning, you see the craziest part.
And then there's all these weird things that happen upstairs, but the money shot is really just. Yeah, it's crazy.
So cute the way he pretends to understand us when we're talking.
I felt it.
I felt that coming. I could tell you weren't talking.
Yeah. And I was like, I got to acknowledge it.
Even on the full plane exclusive, cut it before he talks. Oh, we actually, he's actually spoken on full plane.
Has he? Yeah. I told him. Okay, fine. All right. All right.
Full plane knows, full plane knows. Full plane knows, full plane knows.
Do we moderate the subreddit and like delete any reference to that he talks?
No. I kind of wonder if you want to. There's only been one big one of like,
why doesn't Colin speak? And then they show the Mac Address or whatever you're talking about.
Okay. That's fine. I think for most of the Normie viewers though, it's still definitely.
That's who I'm doing it for. Yeah. Just all these two people. Day two, let's go.
I really hope we're able to get this place back to how we left it. Why should we do that?
All right. Yeah, it'll be you problem. That's probably what I'm doing on the way back.
It'll definitely be. It'll definitely be back to how we left it.
That we know for sure. I can talk to the landlord.
Yeah. I don't know. I heard he's kind of an ass.
It's back in his old office. The only difference is now he shares it with six other people.
Yeah, let's go. What's the soapy? Hey, at least I don't get kicked out every Friday at 4pm for the freaking WAN Show.
You will. You will. We're doing WAN Show in here. Oh my God.
We're not going to acknowledge it though. We're just going to like. Do it. Be doing WAN Show.
It's going to be in a weird location. We're going to completely straight-paste it.
Do it on the front porch. Stone cold. No, no, no. It's got to be in here. It's got to be in here.
Classic. Are you bringing back all the boxes of like razor crackens and sh**?
I don't know what the plan is for the background.
Oh my. Maybe just. The medical services bag?
Okay, that we could find. The human organ transport bag.
Oh, and bring the crowbar.
But everyone... Oh, yeah, it'd be like bustling a little bit more.
Honestly, this whole place is kind of hot. Not only is every computer a space heater,
but every single one of my world-class meat sacks produces around 80 watts.
Yes. Are you working on getting money? Yes. Yes.
What is this?
I actually can't show any of this. Eventually, I think your best bet's going to be seeing closer.
I didn't even know about the blood tubes. I'm not sure if it was somewhere. Is there any people?
Should we get any other shots we need before we do the blood thing?
Yeah. Because it just like doesn't really work. No, I got it pumping through here.
So I got the bubbles coming from there. There. Do we have it just like everyone working at their faces and stuff?
Okay, cool.
The blood might be a bit much, but in order for you to show...
Oh, wow. So right here. Why does this have blood on it?
Question. You should ask Sarah this. She painted it fresh from the...
Where the? The box. Why with blood?
I put my blood, sweat, and tears into it Linus. Like we do with all of our merch here at LTD store.
And you can get... Okay. And you can get yours with authentic Sarah T...
Okay. You heard it here first.
One in every hundred shirts will have authentic Sarah tears on it.
Prove we didn't do that.
Don't even know.
How holy of you, huh? Okay.
Andy, you got them? Awesome. Yeah. Cool.
Let's go for it. I tell him I'm God.
He's not very smart.
That's...
Who's... That is driving me mad. I don't know what this is. What is that?
What is that? That's the whole point. That's the whole point.
We're going to die here, by the way. They're putting this above everyone else.
If this falls, then we all fall and we all die.
Are you excited already? We're supposed to get all... Oh, I love it. I love this.
This is our chairs right here. That's our chairs?
Pure ergonomics. This is what we're here for.
Yo, yo, Bats, can you...
Oh, my... This is... That doesn't seem...
Not a good idea.
Nick, try to stay and... Don't let HR up here.
Do you guys see this video? What are you going to say? I'm literally...
I mean, scroll and comment, maybe. I just see the corner kind of...
You don't like these sounds? I think we call that buckling. Do you want me to bottom or top?
Artie, do you want me to bottom or top? See, this is why you're short.
This is terrifying. I'm going to die. This is my death.
That's so scary. Can you keep recording so at least my death is content?
What do you think? The way it moves is not pleasant.
It's the floor of the room waited for. Yes. A bunk bed?
Yeah, it should be fine. It should be fine. Not his, but it should be fine.
It should be fine. Okay. All right. Oh, my God.
I just need to get pretty far back at our desk there. But if you want to...
I'm actually going to die. Okay, no, I'm not wrong.
Okay. You guys doing good? This was a bash, and I have a question.
I have a question for you. Why are you not posting cat names?
Well, I saw that we got paid. The average salary is $70,000 in this company,
but I only get paid in cloud exposure.
That's a good question.
Yeah, are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I'm good, I'm good. I'm fine, I'm fine.
I'm good, I'm good. So this is to combat the hot water.
We actually got hot water into the... To combat the cold water.
I think that's going to get cold. Please be careful.
I just don't want to slip and then like fall with all that.
They got Red Bull in there. How hot is it?
It's pretty hot. It's steaming hot. It's steaming hot. It's heat won't burn, so...
Ouchie. And this is what we're doing for the next hour, just licking the water for an hour.
It's basically nothing. Well, you know, we don't have any budget for anything anymore, so...
Yeah. Yeah, someone has to suffer. What?
So is this the fake blood? No, this is the real one.
Oh, well, legally it's a fake blood. Oh, yeah, I mean, yeah, for video.
Welcome to the backyard. Yeah, because Jigs are here. Oh, so you're going to the chair?
Yeah, I'm sorry. Belle. Belle. Belle. Belle. Belle.
We, at some point, made the decision to have the team spill over into the outside and garage spaces.
You know, figured suspension of disbelief just wouldn't last that long.
If we tried to pretend we had all 100 people, but don't lose an eye.
He needs those for operating the computer.
Oh, there's Belle. Oh, my God.
Belle's committed a bit. I like it. Oh, man.
This is your company. Look, you cannot, whatever else you might think,
you cannot deny the passion and commitment, okay?
World-class team. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Perfect checking.
That is a computer. And not just an M1 MacBook Pro. Yeah, that's an Apple computer.
He just like, everyone was like, no, we don't do it.
Just tip it. Just no. Oh, sorry.
Oh, wow. Sensor it. Sensor. What could go wrong?
Yeah, not safe for Twitch. Where my body of conscious.
Oh, my God. Is it warmed at all?
No. Well, I guess. Okay. Definitely warmer than it was yesterday.
Yeah. Did you see the radiator that we used to try to heat it up? I don't even really knew where to sit in this.
I guess you just got to. How did you guys try to heat it up? There's a bucket, Peter.
Wait, yeah, there's a place to sit. Oh, is that? It's like a step in the wrong direction.
Do you just have to sit all the way in? My God.
Oh, my God. Are you shaking? No. The bubbles are just air, I promise.
Dude, I'll try and nail this in one take, okay? Okay. Work into it. Oh, this is, I can barely see your hands.
Well, well, I want to see it. Okay, yeah. I want to basically see it and then step out.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, you know what? Then we can do that. Yeah, and then you just, you step over here.
And then I just start walking immediately. Okay. Okay.
Was it you sign on the way? Was it something?
Just, just, yeah. You just, yeah. Just walk around. Just shoot it, yeah. Can Belle get out?
Can, is there anyone? Euler? Ah, it's got a nice name. Oh, my God.
Did you make a worm spot? Just we can't move at all.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, once you move. We got to wait for Jake's choice. We can do the ShortCircuit because it's the same bit.
So, let's see what happens. Oh, my God. You're shooting a whole ShortCircuit in there?
We'll see how much Jake will put up with. With the unboxing, we're hoping.
Wait, Jake Tyvee. You're going to put him in there? Yeah. It'll be him and I.
Because I'll be fact-checking him in here. Oh, my God. That would be so funny. We can take stew.
Bubbles. Bubbles. Oh, sorry. So we're just waiting.
May I have your card, though? Oh, yes. That's all I am to you people. Just a wallet.
Are you paying for dinner? No, it's just my own food.
People, a lot of time people walk up to me for the sole purpose
of asking for my credit card. That happens a lot. All right. Yeah, here you go.
I'll sign it.
You don't want to share your credit card with your full plane subscribers? I mean, you know what?
It would be a brotherly thing to do, I guess, right?
Is that a bed behind the HR booth? Oh, no. That's the hot tub cover.
I mean, wow, that would have been something.
All right. Just guys all wearing those and I didn't notice.
Well, that's because we were under the car. We got the car. Oh, what a shame.
Oh, that sucks. They're all wearing the tax write-off shirt.
Man, this video is so full of Easter eggs.
You're going to have to watch it like 10 times to find all the references.
How wrong out of 10 did I get the explanation? Whitney, you're the resident CPA here?
I mean, it's close enough. In layman terms?
Yeah, close enough. You're wrong about the 50% tax,
because that's a progressive tax problem. So, OK, I was fudging that a little bit.
So I know that our corporate income tax is in the low to mid 20s.
And then if I want to take out a dividend, I think it's approximately another 20, right?
And then by the time I actually buy anything, I pay another 12%.
So my point was by the time I tax everything,
by the time I actually buy anything as a consumer, I'm paying 50% or something like that.
Canada's probably around 55%. Realistically more, but it was one of those things
where I didn't want to create negativity around the fact that I'm probably in a higher tax bracket
than a lot of the viewers. They don't know that.
So I sandbagged it a little. Can I show any of this?
I have no idea. That'd be a Nick decision.
Anyway, thank you. I'm glad I got the sign off now that we printed it on the journal already.
Come on, Naomi Char. This is just behind the scenes right now.
Yeah, watch your step on that. I don't want anyone to die. I kind of want to call it at the front of the line,
if that works.
If you could just be like gesturing. They won't let me talk.
Do you want to be in the HR? Do you mind being in the HR line? You can do baby sign language.
Like the Sims? I love it. Just gesture.
You're upset about Linus. He treats you with absolutely no respect.
It's not your fault that you're... Is this a documentary? It's not your fault that you're a baby and you can't talk.
You can't learn the language. Whatever.
Wait, what do I specifically... What do we... Yeah, go on. Well, you...
You listen to his problems. You can't... Yeah, just do what you do.
I understand. Just go like, yeah, just be like this, and then I'm just going to walk away.
I'll piss off. Okay. Is there audio? I'm going to hit the table. Just so you know, don't be scared.
Yeah. I'm going to slam on the table and then I'm going to walk away.
Okay, Linus is going to walk up and be like,
nobody likes a char, right? And everyone's just going to stare at him and be like...
Maybe one... If one of you could like...
Sort of just... I was thinking, or they come up with the idea of someone doing that
and then I think someone just swat the hand away. Sure.
Yeah. Everyone swats the hand away now.
Okay, sure. Okay. All right.
And securing a parking flood at our old office was almost a blood sport.
So you can imagine parking your car here feels like the Thunderdome.
People enter. One person gets rich.
You know, like that angry Maxwell movie. In the meantime,
we've developed an efficient system. Okay, hold on. Let's do it one more time. Yeah, sure. Count.
That's good. Where should I go? Yeah, count.
Okay. I don't know when to start.
It's fine. Start when the camera makes its way to where you're like kind of in frame.
Yeah. Okay. I think it's... I think pacing wise you're doing all right. Yeah.
Can we switch Artie with one of the middle accounting folks?
Just so it's not all of the accounting. I will say what did look cool though
was people coming down the stairs while you were talking. Oh, sure.
In that case, maybe Nick convinced you guys want to make your way down the stairs.
Yeah. Yeah, sure. Oh, David makes a cameo.
All right, cool. Okay. We could have allowed people to park in the garage,
but as you can see, that's the lab now. Oh, no.
Yeah. Is it... It's great. It's not freezing.
No, it's fine. Totally fine. He's still in there. Define freezing.
He's keeping it warm for you. Hey, Artie.
Artie. I cannot drop.
I'm keeping it cold for you. No, this is not HR. This is minus compliance.
Oh, yeah, yeah. No, it's not. Well, let's look at the thing specifically about...
He's kind of annoying. Oh, right. And short is anti-tight.
That's just an observation.
All right, try to keep my compliance factual. In previous April Fools,
we've kind of gone out of our way to make it sort of straight faced at the beginning
and then devolved into being more and more unhinged. Or like we've tried to.
I feel like this one's just going to be all over the place. Sometimes I'm positive.
Sometimes I'm deranged. I don't know, man.
Well, we'll see how it turns out. It looks believable so far. Yeah, all right.
Is this garage going to open? Are we going to have clearance here?
Oh, God. Oh, wait for it before it...
So close. Oh, my goodness.
All right, well, that worked. It worked out. Nice.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay. So we'll have to figure out how exactly we want to arrange these.
We have a piece of foam inside that we can do one of the things.
I was just going to do that close-up shot of the office, but...
Oh, of the fo... Like, oh, my God. We have foam on them. We're just going to like kiss bumpers.
I think we should do that at the office so we can take more time and not do that here. Because it's going to be so close-up anyway.
It won't matter what we do. Okay. But we'll see how many people are actually coming.
You might not need to move actually. Your car is perfect. Yeah.
So 1-2-3-4 is in this row?
Okay. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. I'm in here.
Okay, if you want me... Yeah.
Who's driving this car? Who's this car? That's me. Get a move. We're going to double park, double park.
Like, over there? Yeah. Okay. So this back alley is where we did,
like, the giant Connect 4.
And, like, we had, like, some water guns or something.
Like, we're just, like, glassy good men. I'm amazed it took so long for the neighbors
to complain and get us kicked out. Like, we were just kind of menaces.
And it's not like we were, you know, 17-year-olds.
You know, I was 27. Like, running around here like an idiot,
honestly, it feels so ridiculous now.
I think it's funny. It's cuter. It's cuter, okay.
Yeah, like, anything that just doesn't have great shooting on it? Shoot it this way.
Tell you what. Let's make this a bonus. We'll get it if we get it, and we'll just throw it in some way.
We have time for other things, and then we'll, yeah, we'll come back to it. Okay.
All right, cool. These weren't here before. They, uh, have to put them in.
So, we're probably... Yeah.
We're going to eat. Um, okay.
I think the action is going to be in the garage now. We're setting up for the Labs bit,
where Gary's in, like, some kind of torture device, if I am understanding it correctly.
Do you remember what IP54 is? Like, splashes indirectly? Um, I think IP54 is pretty good.
I just dipped the tip. That should be fine, right? Yeah, yeah, tipped it. Tipped it.
All right, I could try this tip, too, girl. To dip this tip, too.
What are you trying to do? Is this, like, a ubiquity competitor or something?
Yeah, but we need internet at the house, right? So... So, guys, just watch that light that you understand.
Yeah, thank you. You're welcome. Yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, splashes of water. Splashes. Yeah, my teeth feel good.
Hypothermia. What's that, even? Jake party. Jake stew.
Oh.
Oh. You said another hot take. Bad.
Yeah, okay, I know, right? Easily escapeable, but...
Hey! HR! HR!
Too late, Linus. It can't be unspanked.
Get from my $40.90. Yes.
Sorry, Jake. We'll see.
So use code SHORTSERKET10 at the link down below to get 10% off trend micros pre...
It is premium! Premium security suite.
So use... Thank God we get to get out of this f***ing cold tub.
My ears, though. You're so... You swear so much.
Why do you think I'm swearing? I don't know. Get in!
Later, Maiden. How are you feeling, Tyvie? The shorts help.
Or the pants help. Watch out, R. Excuse me. I didn't really...
It actually feels warm. I love it when I'm getting out. That's true.
Whatever, I'm good. Also, I just grabbed my other type of one. Well, thank you for your commitment a bit.
Yeah, there's more. Yeah, we'll go... Committed. Committed and uncomfortable.
Thriving, one might say. The towel's already wet.
And we stand on like a big slap or something, though. Oh my God.
If you give me a slap, I will throw you in this hot tub. Huh. Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.
Okay. It's right there.
Even if I have to go with you.
Good job, Belle. Oh, it's cold. Why do we only have one towel?
You brought it! You knew that you were getting in? Why didn't you bring two?
Where's your Intel, Mark? I'm doing great today. No.
No people actually think you bought Intel stocks? No, I bought Super Micro, actually.
I've done quite well.
I'll hold up Ark and NVIDIA and be like,
which one's better? And he's going to keep saying Ark and you just keep hitting him.
Okay. Okay. Well, that's all right, in fact.
Yeah, you don't have to hit him unless Gary's comfortable with that. Oh, yeah, I hit him. No, you enjoy it.
Okay, stop. No, I'm going to have a line that I'm going to tell you,
please go get the captails. Oh, God.
This one actually doesn't hurt that much. It doesn't hurt. I got whipped with it.
He did it to me first. HR accepts that as an excuse, right?
Yeah, it was on a camera. I'm pretty sure.
You don't want to overstate the joke. Yeah. It's not funny when you start repeating the same thing of like,
it's hard to fit a lot of people. Yeah. So I think we did a good job giving him a variety.
Is he still in there? Yeah, Gary likes it.
You can take it home, Gary. Ark for the win.
Stop it. You know people think he has an Intel stalk now?
That's not Ark. That's Ork. Yeah, well, it's Ork thing.
Yeah, it's the Ark Ork for the Ork variant of the Ark.
I don't know what that branding is. It's strictly, well, we got it.
It was like, man, put it on the nose. Okay, Andrew, let's go see the outside.
It's like a real GPU, but uglier.
Okay. No, bad. I know, but come on.
Hello, logistics. Oh, careful, careful. Goodbye, logistics.
How's the busy work treating you guys? Oh, wonderful.
It's funny because that actually had about the vibe of like, the April Fool's video, but that was real.
Thanks for your hard work. They don't care about me.
Truth and fiction, they're blurring together.
Hey, HR, how's it going?
Just kidding. Who wants to touch it? I'm not. View Sonic, by the way.
They arranged for LAN Fest to send all these over so that everyone's desks could have monitors.
We actually, I don't know, want more than we used, but...
Okay, okay. You, they want to almost shoot down a little bit if you can.
Is there another bucket in there? Uh, yeah.
Four, but... Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that's fine. Um, I could be wrong, but I kind of want you even closer to the back.
We can do that. Is that doable? Yeah, yeah. Oh, there's some boxes. Do me a spawn.
No, no, no. Okay, there's good. That's perfect.
Perfect. Wait, I changed my mind.
Right there, Amber. I'm so sorry. Still with my bucket.
No, no bucket now. No bucket, okay. I changed my mind completely about the bucket.
Because I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to make my way in to, um...
Actually, can I get, uh, Jamie, can I get you and Rhys to switch spots?
Okay. So I'm going to, like, like, get in all too close to Jamie here.
Rhys, can you wear the laptop sleeve on your head? Can I wear the laptop sleeve on my head?
Yeah. Yes. Well, I can't have you pull your pants down once. Buzz is going to have to be a prominent display here.
Oh, wonderful.
Details matter, people. Sorry. You can't be a cult if you get green tags in the wrong places.
See if it fits. Yeah, it does. Yeah, right. It looks like it's captured.
So it obviously doesn't matter that in the other shot it's the other way around. No, okay.
Wait, does he need the thing on his head?
He's technically on probation. But he's on probation, like, five days after it will open.
I would, I would say. Okay. Okay. Yeah, perfect.
Thank you for being a good sport, though.
What was that that just... Oh, it's my name tag. It's kind of a little adapter.
It could be here, right?
I don't think we'll need you. Yeah, no. Yeah, I don't get the answer. I'll come back.
Like a little crack. No. Yeah, come back there. Yeah, I'll come back.
Yeah. All right. So should I just say three people since there's only three?
Yeah. Okay. Uh, I...
Well, you've done a plate play for four reasons. Okay. Every day of the life.
You're trying to get off of me. Okay, camera rolling.
I was concerned that packing three people into such a tight space
was going to be a problem, but given how little of our inventory is left...
Hi. These guys honestly don't have that much to do, so who knows how long they'll be with us.
Oh, no. Okay, let's do one more. The car's a bit changed.
It was good, but the car just a little bit changed. Sure. Yeah. Okay, and rolling.
Um, if they don't know...
If they don't know where to find it.
But how little of our inventory made it to the new space,
it's not a problem. In fact, we're going to have more room soon
because there's almost no work for them to do, is there? Oh, no.
Okay, I don't know. Okay, that was really good. Okay. I'm the green guy for the green stream
because I'm waiting for the news team to get here.
This is too small. It's too small. So I'm going to take my pants off
and actually just wear it, like pants.
This is supposed to be small, but I'm like a medium, like in the upper area.
My pants are small because I'm an average height king.
Oh, it is the wrong way. Oh, you...
Yeah, you just did the wrong... The flowy nipple is tackling for some reason.
This is... I'm Riley.
Hi. Jakuba.
I don't want to be associated with this. Okay.
And then behind you is Pijo.
Pido. And Dabi. Which, uh, in Mandarin means beer.
Oh, that's really exciting. What do you guys think of the house?
Harder than the green guy. It's hard to think about the house on behind us.
Why? I can see your balls from three miles away.
Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. It's okay. We'll green screen it out.
I do like this. And now you can't see it. I just... We want to make people intrigued.
But not reveal anything. But I think the only thing that will be revealed
is that we're using a s*** green screen. Your comment, I can't believe this is the quality of the home technically.
Wow. LMG has gone downhill. I think if me being there is obvious enough,
they'll know it's a bit, but...
Okay, so you are actually going to be there the whole time? Yeah.
Good luck, everybody. It's like, okay. How much do I, like, overlap with him?
No. Because I think optimally, you know, our room will be overlapping.
What do we want this to be? Do we want the green screen to be s***y the whole time?
Should I... Sorry, should I censor myself for the... No, it's okay.
Go walking. Do they know that we swear? Yes.
Yeah, I said s***. What will my mom think?
Now I am...
Perfect. I am the LMG human being.
Shout out, reference. Shout out. Our tech news is gluten-free and organic,
but it's far from cruelty-free. We've been keeping a clone of Mark Zuckerberg
in a cage under the studio for study. We just pad the walls, so you can't hear him trying to be relatable.
Speaking of friends...
Speaking of friends, Raleigh and I aren't, but you greens not s***dxp480t
can be your dad's new best friend. So if you're currently your dad's best friend,
and you buy this, things may get awkward. Okay, nice job, guys.
Can we just... Oh, my god. Yeah, what the...
