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 going to get the new name, new name. You guys are going to 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
10. 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 going to
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? No. 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. It just was like smiling at us. We're like, 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,
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? 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. 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. Hey, voila! 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. It's okay, didn't you? We're standing. I'm gonna start tighter on you and pull
wider when you say... Oh, God. Okay. I don't think this can 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.
Oh, for the actual video where... The video where it is right now, you are standing here and the
camera's pointing this way. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you're in it and 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, Mike. 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. I did tell them that my expectation
was basically two to three full days of loft productivity. So I guess this is fine.
It works. I missed this house. Do you? You worked here for like two weeks?
It was so hot. It was like two weeks, buddy. Really? Yeah, it was like, it was like two weeks.
My first day, they were like, pick up a moving box, help us move. Yeah. And then it's only
started like a week before Colton. Oh, no, you guys started on the same day. No, I smacked him
at the, at a park. We're shooting channels for Perkman. I thought his name was Paul. Oh yeah,
you told me he was Paul. Yeah. Do I look like a, I look like a Paul. I can't even see you. 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.
Three months 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 there.
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 stuffy 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 the way up the stairs. Does it bring back memories? Absolutely. Yeah. 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. Yeah, drone racing. And 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 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 wasn't. Hey,
I mean, Taryn Van Hiemer is not here anymore. So that's why we have toilet paper. That's an
inside joke. He admitted in his offboarding that he used to steal toilet paper from the company
from that very bathroom. He posted it on YouTube. Yeah, it's it's well, I just mean it's inside
anyone who outside of any video. 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 head head. Wow, we just throw David under the bus there.
I'm just saying we thought Eli would get here first because there's like a pound of aluminum right there. There's like a pound of aluminum. Yeah, there's a spearhead just waiting to fall
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. Yeah. Maybe go like bright side. I can't fall down. Yeah, that's good. If I'm already on the ground.
Don't worry, buddy. You'll get up here one day. Bright side. I can't fall down. I'm already on the
ground. I'm sure he'll find a way.
All right. This is uh, wow, this is really, this is really great here.
Oh my god, I actually almost died. Whatever you do, do not stop rolling, Santa.
Like this is gold. Literally, no one's allowed outside without a pass. I mean, yard time like in
prison, you know? Time away from your cell. It's a joke. Quiet on set.
Oh, so yeah, I was thinking quite on set you're like walking behind him because you're gonna
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, um, and uh, okay. Yeah, one more time. Should we maybe use like a fake laugh? It might
Oh, like an audience. Like editing.
Let's do a couple takes. We'll do one where someone just looks up
with disdain, but then we'll do a couple of synchronized laughs. Okay, camera roll.
Um, from the table from, do 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, uh, like time away from your cell. It's a joke.
Um, anyway. Quiet on set. Oh,
what's the line? Obviously going from four fridges.
Okay, we can do this. Okay. That was really good up until I love the continuation.
Yeah, yeah, I screwed that up. Okay.
Oh,
Elijah, you keep that helmet on. Yes, sir. That is a workplace
hazards. If you're not wearing it, 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?
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.
Haha.
It's weird saying quiet on set when there's already quiet. Uh, oh yeah. Okay. Maybe that
case. Why don't we shoot the reverse and we'll do the synchronized ha ha first and that can be the
like, be the quiet on set. Okay. All right. Oh, that's pretty good. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's just
do it again then. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it again. I think of them. We can come right
because we'll also do it again. Okay. Yeah. One more time then.
Okay. Let's all do a practice then. Uh, okay. So basically if you guys all do, um,
okay, that's probably too long. Maybe just give it like, uh,
four, four, four. Yeah. Four. And you'll cut us off. Alex, cut us off. Just after the second.
Should it be a little bit more realistic?
Pretty good. I like that. I don't, 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, haha. Okay. That's
pretty good. That's pretty good. Yeah. Maybe not. How are we feeling? Vibles. 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, huh? We'll do that after. Okay. Rolling. Um,
potato farm. We do our best to let the staff, oh, we do our best to give our staff their yard
time. I don't mean that in a literal sense. I don't want to laugh outside until the past.
Like yard time, like a prison, you know, time away from yourself. It's a joke.
Why don't Sam? Now, one big challenge is going from four fridges to one has led to some significant
food storage problems. 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, 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 that I'm 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. I'm going to get in there
and, uh, 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. 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, uh, cozier.
He's contractually obligated to do that.
Okay. Okay. How's that feel? That was really good.
Is your feet okay? Yeah. Thanks for the shoot.
We like to have fun around here. I don't think you're having that much fun with your legs.
Okay. It's your birthday. I'm supposed to be on vacation. That's true. 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,
why are we excited about the next year? Okay. Oh, you know what the idea is. I do know what the idea is. Okay. Okay. Line. Uh, first line here, I think. So the technically this just happened
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. Uh, this is where, where's this? That's going to be logistic.
That way. We're not going out. I know. But if I were you, I would just kind of come over here,
Andrew. And she's this direction. Oh, that line more 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. Perfect. 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 can give it a couple shots of them working.
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, um, like, like fingers and click and mail and 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.
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 editor showing off a little bit and edit of
them editing, but like the most like in like zoomer action edit of editing ever. So that's kind
of a concept. But if we don't have time for it, just say line is off, even the time we're spending
talking about this is always and that's fine too. Okay. Okay. All right. I'm just gonna like settle
in right next to him. So perfect. I'm going to get exposure here. Okay. And rolling. Oh, hi Mark.
Ah, I see you're working on one of my favorite sponsored projects here. This battery solution
from you green. Really, anything is my favorite as long as it's a sponsor who has an abandoned
because of our cost of controversies. I 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. You agree. And I'll go into you instead. 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 you green, 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 do we say you green? What I don't I'm lacking context. It's you green. Oh,
they sponsored it, right? Oh, what? Is this a problem? I don't know what.
Why are we making? Oh, but does you green still work with us? Yeah. Oh, okay,
that's fine. Yeah, yeah, then they're just getting a friendly shout out for being a part.
Yeah. Okay, but to address the actually plugged into this and running off of it though. Yeah.
No. Okay, just it'll show all zeros then. Should we play come in? Oh, I'll just unplug everything
while he's working on it. If you do it fast enough. Okay. Okay. No, no, you're good. You're
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
and I'm acting every day. So who turned these on? Who turned these on?
Doesn't include a budget for lights?
By the way, your guys' reactions were perfect. I almost lost my
so you were like, you're like, who turns these on? Who turns these on? And then it'll be you at
the lights with being like, 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 is perfect. Just look into your just look into your screen just like stone face.
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, perfect. And then Matt masks the cut so I can like climb over Hoffman to hit the light switch
because that was what you wanted, right, David? It's like, this is this is great. I love this.
I'm so happy right now. How much work are you getting done?
Okay, one more just in case. Shockingly, the editing department is
still being surprisingly productive. It's funny, I had kind of forgotten that they were moved in
here, like sending notes and stuff on Trello over the last few days. You know, as little things are
supposed to be getting done, like, are you guys on laptops?
Yeah, okay.
Well, I mean, you guys are senior, right? So theoretically, you should be able to compensate
with skill, right? I love the work of video editing. Yeah. High five.
Yeah, I mean, well, Maria's got like the Max Studio and like odd feet. Do you have a
Pro Display XDR? That's not how did you state that?
System works. What do you think of the client? What do you think of the mannequin?
Yeah, I was, I was wondering about that. The, the gloves or something.
The gloves. Yeah, what? Yeah, what?
That's what the reaction I kind of wanted. Why does, why does Emily have to hang out next to
its junk like that? It's like right there. Sorry. Only one of them is like right there.
Oh, okay. Oh, I'm going to use for a second.
Do we have our heroes now? Uh, yeah. Yeah. We don't need, we don't need, we just edit.
No love. No love? Yeah. Wow. This is, yeah, wow. Great. And I'm always watching.
Yeah, that's scary. Always supervising. He's, he's freaked me out before.
Don't scare me when I came up with the right LEDs. I'm just going to have a seat right here. Um, 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 add 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 told you again. Oh my God, like the face.
I mean, it's so good. Someone fart. Someone farted.
I'm so crap.
Are you recording your audio? Did 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. Um, 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 for? Is it in the comments? Yeah. Look at me. Oh God. You know, and then just here's the
rule. Every time someone actually wins, don't worry. It's fine. Oh God. Okay.
That's what he's actually working on. Wait, no, we're not giving away setups in the comments.
The Instagram one. April Fool's, Ploof. No, no, no, no. Oh, no, no, that's fake. But I don't know what's
going on.
We're working on that video where we're giving away a GBU.
You talked to me about it today. We are technically giving it away to a guy in the comments.
Everyone's going to comment now.
We know. That's great. I love it. His reaction was like, actually, like, what the f**k was
going on.
Oh my God. Oh, not necessary.
What the f**k is this company?
He's committed a bit. Can't tell how much of it's a joke and how much of it's real.
Yes.
Someone want to pull up a resume template or something like that and just put some
not-for-missing in it?
Don't answer that. Don't answer that. We brought all this stuff here and no one
thought to bring an air freshener.
Do you have one? Like the spray type? Yeah. What? Oh, I mean, that might actually lose me.
No, no, no, no, that's not necessary.
There's so many things that we didn't even think to put in the
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,
I would have totally had like, uh, something, but I, yeah, I'll just add live it in for when
I'm going to the bathroom. I'll just like step on everyone's shoes, I guess. I don't know.
Opposite. I think we threw up a 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.
Okay. Again? You have your own bathroom.
Oh, dude. I take it back. Go ahead. Geez.
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. Like, where am I supposed to go? I'm sorry.
Funny because we're actually working out of here right now and these are actual problems.
That was great. Was that fine? Yeah, that was hilarious.
It was, oh, 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.
Do an old version of it.
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.
Oh, okay. 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. Um, okay.
And yeah, that's rich coming from Potter over here or like potty.
Okay, 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.
Yeah, yeah, let's, let's meet up Colton. You're doing a good job. You're Colton. You're okay being called a low merit individual.
He called it. Yeah, I'm down. What the fuck are you doing?
Let's just get everyone. Did you make an appointment? I'm just hanging out down the street.
As for the post lunch drop off rush and the low merit individuals
who, uh, 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 went in so well with the crowd of
Opsie-Popsie people on the MacBooks. He's been there for weeks and they haven't even noticed him.
Oh, good.
Was it fun that I looked back in like horror or what?
Yeah, I think I just twisted my ankle. That's why you're laughing?
I, um, you know, I read a lot of comments, right? Yep. And one of the funniest ones that I've actually seen a lot of lately
is, um, 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 like Linus is reading a script. And so often it's on completely unscripted videos.
Oh, that's so funny. I think people think, oh, we have scripts.
Therefore, everything, 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? Like, impossible.
We're not good enough. Yeah. Yeah. No, 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.
Yeah. Because this is the entire networking. No, no, no, there's a whole server room.
There's a server room. Yeah, yeah, this is, this is just the switch down. 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. Um, I think that, that was it? No, that's okay. That's fine.
I put yours back. Oh, okay. We have, we have. Stay away, no idea which one turns it off.
Yeah. Is it one of those ones? The problem with the lines. It's, it's, where'd it go?
That actually disappeared. That actually, because they have my pictures and everything.
No one will stretch a little bit. Don't, don't worry. I don't want eight people looking for my backpack.
It's okay. I'm reminded of the, uh, 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.
Yeah. Yep. I, um, didn't bother putting in anchors for most of them.
I just screwed them into the drywall. Yep.
Look, we actually had this level of resources.
So, um, all jokes aside.
Oh, okay. Oh yeah. Do you need your. Yeah. Do you need your jacket?
Do you need the hoodie or no? You took it off. Do you need it or no?
Oh, that's a good shift. Yeah.
I mean, you can take it off in this shop.
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. Ah, all right. Here on the stairs.
We've got our business and procurement teams.
I don't know. Dammit. 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, make me any money to be sure of? Absolutely.
Is that it? Wait, are you on LinkedIn? No.
He's not. Okay.
I think it needs to be a little bit more fluid in my book.
We've got a top family. When he asked you making money, that'd be like, no one wants to sponsor videos.
Okay. Oh, yeah. Did we not tell you 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.
It's a good origin computer. That's a great one.
It's also at 15%. So hopefully it'll live.
Something's falling out of me. Right? Yeah, yeah. Come on, buddy.
Come on. He got this. The keyboard looks nice.
I'll be like, is that linked? Oh my god. Did this thing just hard reboot?
I'm just going to say bye. I don't know. Can you? I can just point them out?
No, no. Don't want to pass that up to Ka? Ka?
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, good.
Oh, yeah. 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- Or I could just close the laptop when you ask 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, well, 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 got- job search is open for.
Well, no one's buying sponsorship. Yeah, 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 sponsor videos anymore.
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 them.
I gotta go- I gotta go. Just give me that.
We'll talk to you in a minute. I gotta have a chat with them first.
We'll be out there eventually. Take your phone. Take your phone.
Okay. I didn't know about that one. I didn't know about that one.
Other than some people who can't- Oh, hey! 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- We need you 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-
I'm gonna be 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.
I'm coming up. All right. Oh, no you're not.
All right, cool. How are you liking this 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? That's-
The goal? It was! It was the goal. It sucks.
Yeah, 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,
is today Wednesday? Tuesday. Ah, 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 Dunn. 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. 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, 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,
yep, 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 paying back memories, man.
That's the exact thing. They just sat here and just stood here for a bit. Who did?
Dennis. Oh, that's hilarious.
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.
Yeah, I've only seen one. 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...
But, you know, 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 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. Brother, okay, here's what we can do.
And what's great is like Sharad is actually on a call right now.
Like, he's got a call in 10 minutes. Yeah, he's trying to figure it out.
Yeah, 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 10 minutes.
So I'm going to kick in people. I was like, I kicked someone in the head, I think. I said, I'm sorry.
I don't know. It's the kind of thing that like, we've done some really painful shoots before.
You had 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 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 neighbor's 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.
Who told me? The dragon energy was very strong on this one.
I hate that green screen, by the way. The green screen is so bad.
It 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. So what is Riley doing when he's here? So we're faking that we're shooting a tech link.
So this isn't real that we're shooting today. We're just 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. So it's like Ranch. It'll be like Ranch show where it's like, obviously something's up,
but we're not really dealing with it. Oh, I love it.
Oh, are we acknowledging it on land that we're going to different set? No, 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, nothing. Yeah, just let them stew.
I buy it. Yeah. No, because we were like, why is it going so early?
Because we thought it was going to be shot here. We're like, what? Why? What's 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, yeah. So we all thought we're like, no.
Yeah. No, no, no, no, no. Nothing gets acknowledged today for the first time.
Okay. Hi, Riley. Hi. He's here.
This is great. Now I feel, I mean, the news team people aren't here.
No, just over the past. I don't think we get there for this part. Yeah, I know.
I mean, I figure that like they wouldn't be. See if it's great.
Got a green screen, Riley. Yeah, yeah. 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?
Oh, that's hilarious. And 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 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.
Yeah. Line is so 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.
Okay. I like that idea. I like your...
After today, I'm actually going to read this article.
Slash us, slash us. One step to your right and then turn around under 80 degrees.
Yeah, and then turn around that way. Yeah, yeah. I'm doing the dip real quick. And you're not going to...
We 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? You'd be surprised.
You'd be surprised at similarities. Oh my God.
Okay. That's really funny. Good morning. Okay, so you're good here.
Was this actually less work than just having a live feed?
Yes. Oh, okay. Well, we would have to bring the ultimate setup and fiddle with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We got the discussion, yeah.
I love it. I love it. That's great. Okay, so I'm starting here.
Line. And I'm saying... I'm reading, I'm talking.
You're talking, but do we know... We'll get real audio tech, Lane?
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 Techling. And I'll just turn around. Yeah, yeah, true.
And then we can totally use Riley's thing because remember, I'm like whispering.
We can just get him saying like,
minus, I can still hear you. And then I just keep talking.
Yeah, if you keep delivering it, yes. You can talk over it, yeah. 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. I'm literally just gonna 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 gonna deal with that?
My stuff just, oh right, because I go outside. Yeah.
So we're just gonna have a bit of a drone of Riley trying to Techling.
Yeah, yeah. And then we'll bring in the real audio
that we're shooting here only when he's getting upset. Thanks to AI.
Oh, hello. Can you hear me? We'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, yeah.
So I'll give you an eye line. I'm basically like here creeping around, like whispering.
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.
Actually, shoot Techling here. Yes, that is real.
That sounds great.
This is like, no acknowledgement though.
Yeah, yeah. It's just going to be a bad green screen. Yeah. And no reason given.
Yeah, that was the idea. Okay, cool. Then get people like, what is going on?
Yeah. And then the show is going to be sh**. Yeah.
Oh, really? Oh, you're 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, no. I don't know if this is still a show business. Oh, yeah. It's just for show. Oh, all right.
That's totally fine. All right. Yeah, a wham show for Dan. 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, yeah.
No, no, no, yeah. No, this is just for, honestly, the behind the scenes
is so much better than, like, everything else.
How are you setting up Wansho? Here, do you want to come get a little closer, Sammy?
No, no, no, no, no. No, I don't want to see it yet. Oh, I understand them at all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wait, oh. Yeah, we can just shim away if you want. Sure, yeah, let's shim away.
First, we actually did a couple of Wansho's
in what was Luke's, like, 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 Wanshoes, right?
Yeah. And then we were basically. But why the boxes?
We had a coffee table here. Okay. That just had, like, 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 do.
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.
It's 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. Yeah. 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 her 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 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 truck me at all. Okay, perfect.
Oh my god, what the f**k? The mirror.
The mirror. We pull... Oh, I see the mirror, Dan.
Did we pull these story-makers back into duty, or are they just here to drop?
No, they're just brought, yeah. Oh my god, okay, well this is...
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 in there are in the sink.
Okay, good. All right, so um...
Yeah, what's going on? You look very disheveled in that. Thanks.
That sounded really good. I'm really looking forward to shaving on Saturday.
This is going to go... You're 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 to happen? 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.
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 P&S is basically with speeding all the editors.
This rack is actually functional, these two are not. Those are basically just fake.
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 Wekka Foster, new, new, old, new Wannick.
I'm kind of gotten a bit insane with the Wannick everywhere. Wannick 10.
Wannick 10. So like, high and, you know, we've got like,
who's Wannick and Mother Vault and all that sort of stuff.
So it's 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... Yeah. You're going to get like this. Okay, so we're going to just couple these director in there.
I'm doing this for you, full plane. Thank you.
Thanks, full plane. Okay.
This is from those 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 on the side. To do it. Yeah. And I had a lot of fun today.
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!
This is a pretty nice system. This is hilarious, man.
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 this when we're talking.
I felt it.
I felt that coming. I could tell you weren't talking.
Yeah. And I was like, I gotta acknowledge it.
Even on the full plane exclusive, cut it before he talks. Oh yeah, 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 do they call and speak and then they show the Mac Address or whatever that you're talking about.
Okay, that's fine. I think for most of the normie viewers though, it's still definitely a thing.
That's who I am doing it for. That's 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. Well, you can talk to the landlord.
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. That's the sofa. Hey, at least I don't get kicked out every Friday at 4 p.m.
for the frickin' 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 pace 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 a round 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...
Oh my God. Your best bet's going to be seeing a closer... I didn't even know about the blood tubes. I'm not sure if it was somewhere...
Should we get any other shots we need before we do the blood thing?
Yeah. Because it just like doesn't really work. So, 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's 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.
I 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. How does this work? They're putting this above everyone else.
If this falls, then we all fall and we all die.
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.
It'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.
I'm actually going to die if I do that. Okay. No, I'm not wrong.
Okay. You guys doing good? This is Bastian.
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 okay, I'm good. I'm fine, I'm fine.
I'm good. So this is to combat the hot water.
We got to get 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.
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, someone has to suffer. 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 aren't here. Oh, so you're doing this here, sorry.
Bill, 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 hundred people, but don't lose an eye.
He needs those for operating the computer. Is the HR booth ready to go?
Oh, there's Bill. Oh my God, Bill'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.
That is a computer. And not just an M1 MacBook Pro.
Yeah, yeah, that's an Apple computer.
Everyone was like, no, we don't do it. Just tip it, just.
No, no, no, no, no. Oh, sorry. It seems fine.
Oh, wow. Sensor it, sensor. What could go wrong?
Yeah, not safe for Twitch. Where my body of conscious.
Oh my. Is it warmed at all?
No. Well, I guess. It's definitely warmer than it was yesterday.
Okay. 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 heater.
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, 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? That we could do that. Yeah, and then you just step over here.
And then I just start walking immediately. Okay. Okay.
Was it you sighing away? Was it something?
Just, just, yeah, you just walk around. Just do it, yeah. Can Belle get out?
Can, is there anyone? Euler? Ah, it's got an ice in it. Oh my God.
Did you make a warm spot? Just we can't move at all.
Yeah, oh yeah, once you move. We got to wait for Jake's show, so you can do the ShortCircuit because it's the same bit, so we'll see what happens.
Oh my God, you're shooting a whole ShortCircuit in there? We'll see how much Jake will put up with.
We'll do the unboxing, we're hoping. Wait, Jake Tyvey? You're going to put him in there?
Yeah, it'll be him and I. Because I'll be tag-checking him in here. Oh my God, that'd 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.
A lot of time people walk up to me for the sole purpose of asking for my credit card.
That happens a lot.
What, 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. Why is that? Just guys all wearing those and I didn't notice?
Well, that's because we were under the car. 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 hear 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 burden.
That's not how that works. How long do you want to be there? Oh, you're on brackets, to be honest.
So, okay, I was fudging that a little bit. So I know that our corporate income tax
is in the, like, 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, like, 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 almost?
I have no idea. That'd be a Nick decision.
Anyway, thank you. I'm glad I got, 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. And, like, if you could just be, like, gesturing.
They won't let me talk.
Do you mind being in the HR line? You can do, be in the baby sign language.
Like the Sims? I love it. Just gesture.
You have, you're upset. Okay. You're upset about Linus. He treats you with absolutely no respect.
It's not your fault that you're- It's just a documentary. It's not your fault that you're eating and you can't talk.
You can't learn the language. Whatever.
Okay. Wait, what am I supposed to- What am I supposed to- What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do? Well, you, you can't, yeah, just do what you do.
I understand. Just go like, yeah, just be like this, and then I'm just gonna walk away.
I'll piss off. Okay. I'm gonna hit the table,
so you know, don't get scared. Yeah. I'm gonna slam on the table,
and then I'm gonna walk away. Okay, Linus- Linus is gonna walk up and be like,
nobody likes HR, right? And everyone's just gonna 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. Sir, yeah.
Everyone swats the hand away. Okay, sure.
Okay. All right. And scaring the parking flood at our old office was almost a blood sport,
so you can imagine parking your car here feels like the thunderdome. Oh, you 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.
Sure, that's good. Where should I go? Yeah, come on.
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 up in frame, yeah.
Okay. I think, yeah, I think pacing wise, you're doing all right.
Can we switch Artie with one of the middle accounting folks,
just so it's not all of the accounting in a row? Yeah. I will say what did look cool though,
was people coming down the stairs while you were talking. Oh, sure.
I got it. In that case, maybe Nick and Vance, do you guys want to make your way down the stairs?
Yeah, yeah, sure. Oh, that 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. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Is it, it's great. It's not freezing.
No, it's fine. It's probably fine. He's still in there. It's fine freezing. He's keeping it warm for you.
Hey, Artie. Artie.
Oh, good thing HR is close. I cannot drop. I'm keeping it cold for you.
No, this is not HR. This is minus comparison. Oh, yeah, yeah, no. No, it's not.
Well, I was looking at you specifically about... He's kind of annoying. Oh, right.
And short is that. That's totally a complaint. That's just an observation.
It's just that. I try to keep my complaints 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 corruption open? Are we going to have clearance here?
Oh, God. Oh, we've run before it.
So close. Oh, my goodness.
All right. Well, that 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 like, oh, my God. We have foam in 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 one, two, three, four is in this row. Okay.
Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. I'm in here.
Okay. You want me to put you on the shoulder, right? Yeah.
Who's driving this car? Who's this car? That's me. You got to 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 four.
And like we had like some water guns or something.
Like we're just like plastic. Man, I'm amazed it took so long for the neighbors to complain
and get us kicked out. But we were just kind of menaces.
And it's not like we were, you know, 17 year olds.
You know, I was 27. I think 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 grace and shame 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 somewhere. We have time for other things and then we'll come back to it.
Okay. All right. Cool. These weren't here before. They have to put them in.
So we'll power up. Yeah.
Gonna eat.
Okay. I think the action is going to be in the garage now. We're setting up for the lab spit 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? IP54 is pretty good.
I just dipped the tip. That should be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Tipped it. Tipped it.
All right. I could try this tip too, drill. Tipped 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 have understanding about.
Yeah. You're welcome. Yeah. Brilliant.
Yes. Splashes of water. Splashes. Yeah. My heat 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.
HR. HR. Too late, Linus.
It can't be unspanked.
Get from my 4090. Yes.
Sorry, Jake. We'll see.
So use code ShortCircuit 10 at the link down below to get 10% off trend micros.
It is premium. Premium security suite.
So use. Thank God we get to get out of this f**king 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, mate. How you feeling, Tyvey? The shorts helped or the pants helped.
Excuse me. I didn't really. It actually feels warm when I'm doing out.
That's true. Whatever. I'm not. Also, I just crowd laid out a tentative one. Well, thank you for your commitment a bit.
Yeah, there's more. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 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. 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 arc? I'm doing great today. No.
No people actually think you bought Intel stocks? No.
I bought super macro actually. I've done quite well.
I'll hold up arc and NVIDIA and be like,
which one's better? And he's going to keep saying arc. And you just keep hitting him.
Okay. Okay. Well, that's sorry.
Yeah, yeah, you don't have to hit him unless Gary's comfortable though. Oh yeah, hit him. No, he's enjoying it.
Okay, stop. No, I'm going to have a line.
I'm going to tell you, please go get the cap towels.
Oh God. This one actually doesn't hurt that much.
It doesn't hurt. I got with it. Okay.
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 overstay 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. Arc for the win.
Stop it. You know people think he has Intel stocks now?
That's not arc. That's orc. Yeah, well, it's orc thing.
Yeah, it's the arc orc. Or the orc variant of the arc.
I don't know what that branding is. Good job, Sparkle.
Well, we got it. It was like, man, quite on the nose. Sorry, I'm just...
Okay. Andrew? Yes, sir? Let's go see the outside. It's like a real GPU, but uglier.
No. Bad. I know, but come on.
Hello, logistics. Oh, careful, careful. Goodbye, logistics.
How's the, uh... 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? I'm just kidding.
Who wants to talk to them? No, I'm just kidding. View Sonic, by the way.
They arranged for a land fest this morning. They arranged for a land fest to send all of these over
so that everyone's desks could have monitors. We actually, I don't know if we want more than we used, but...
It was a lot better than trying to bring all the monitors from the office, because while that could have worked,
everyone uses monitor arms. So what were we going to mount them to,
even though most people didn't have desks? Yeah.
Until I had a brains? You know what?
Let's have you across the street, actually.
I want to see the whole truck. Oh, okay. The wine. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
And you're opening it to me to open it.
Okay. Okay. You may want to almost shoot down a little bit if you can.
Is there another bucket in there? Uh, yeah.
What about four buckets?
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. Do some boxes. Do me a spine. 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 bucket, now. No bucket, okay.
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,
uh-huh. Actually, can I get, uh, Jamie, can I get you and Reese to switch spots?
Okay. So I'm going to, like, like, get in all too close to Jamie here.
Reese, can you wear the laptop sleeve on your head? Can I wear the laptop sleeve on my head?
Yeah. Yes. Well, I can have you pull your pants down once. Buzz is going to have to be a prominent display here.
Oh, wonderful.
Details matter, people. You can't be a cult if you get green tags
in the wrong places. See if it fits. Yeah, it does. Yeah, right.
He looks like he's captured.
Obviously, it doesn't matter that in the other shop, it's the other way around. No, okay.
Wait, uh, does he need the thing on his head?
He's technically on probation. But he's off probation, like,
five days after the old time.
I would, I would lose it. Okay. Okay. Yeah, perfect.
Thank you for being a good sport, though.
What was that, that just, Oh, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my, it's my,
I, it could be here, right?
I don't think we'll need you. Yeah, no, I don't get the answer. I'll come, I'll come back.
Like a little. 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 fake play for four reasons. Okay.
You're trying to get off of me. Okay. Uh, 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 hit one more. The car is a bit huge.
It was good, but the car is just a little heavy. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
And rolling. Um, if they don't know.
Yeah. If they don't know where to find it.
Um,
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, uh,
there's almost no work for them to do. Is there? Oh no.
Okay. I don't know. That was really good. Okay.
Okay. Cool. So the outro is just here and then you got the script.
Uh, oh. Oh, where are we? Those little shoes.
That was great. Yeah. This is like fun. Sure. I was going to do it.
And we're fishing on time. Oh yeah. First time. It's only like the noon of the second day.
So it's like great. Yeah. Okay. Do you want to walk into this thing from like the corner or something like that?
Yeah. Jump off the roof.
Do a flip. I'm the green, green guy for the green screen because I'm waiting for,
uh, the news team to get here. Uh, this is too small.
It's too small. So I go 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.
It is the wrong way. Is it? Oh, you, yeah.
You just did it the wrong way. Whatever. The floaty nipple is tackling for some reason.
I have, I have harder nipples than you. No. This, this is, I'm Riley.
Hi. Jakuba.
I don't want to be associated with this. Okay.
And then behind you is Peejo.
Peejo. And Dabi. Which uh, in Mandarin means beer.
Oh, that's very exciting. What do you guys think of the house?
Higher than the green guy? It's hard to think about the house. I'm gonna be honest.
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. Now you can't see it. I just, we want to make people intrigued.
Yeah, I can hear you. But not reveal anything.
But I think the only thing that will be revealed is that we're using a s**t green screen.
Your comment, I can't believe this is the quality of the home technically now.
LMG has gone downhill. I think if, if me being there is obvious enough that they'll know it's a bit, but.
Okay. So you are actually going to be there the whole time. Yeah.
Good.
Good luck everybody. It's like, okay. How much do I like overlap with him?
No, because I think optimally, you know, our will be overlapping.
What do we want this to be? Do we want the green screen to be s**t the whole time?
Should I, sorry, should I censor myself for this? No, it's okay.
Go walking. Do they know that we swear? Yes.
Yeah, I said f**k all the time. 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 sync 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...
