1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,080
Oh, hi. Didn't see you there. You must be one of the floaters.

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:21,520
Oh, you're talking to one of them individually. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's very early. Probably there aren't that many right now.

3
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:28,720
Oh, there's a few. Oh, my chat's not loading. I got a refresh page. Oh, there's quite a few. Oh, okay.

4
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,960
Yeah. You think you're going to catch them? When we're, when it's past five, you think

5
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,680
one person's going to be here? Hi. I didn't see you all there. There you are.

6
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,960
Is that better? Are you happy now? Yeah. Yeah, fix it. Sorry. Good. I'll do better next time, Papa.

7
00:00:48,960 --> 00:01:01,760
It's Friday. Let's go. No. When we were filming, why is Wan late? Yeah. Sammy handed me a thing.

8
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Why are you telling me about that as if I wasn't there? And on the thing, there was a sticker that said Linus inside, and I was like, what are you trying to say?

9
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,880
A sticker? What? He has a sticker that looks like Intel inside, but it says Linus inside.

10
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,120
Okay. So he's not giving it to anyone other than Yvonne, right?

11
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:29,360
I'll pay the tariff. Oh, we're going to talk about tariffs today.

12
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:34,160
Oh, we're going to talk about tariffs today. We're going to talk about them.

13
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,600
Big, beautiful tariffs. My friends called me. They said my tariffs are so big.

14
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,440
They're so big. They're so good. My friend called me. They're the best tariff.

15
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Tears streaming down his face. Big friend, strong friend. Never seen tariffs this good.

16
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,080
Yeah, they're just write-offs. It's just more write-offs.

17
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,040
Yeah, there's a new tariff in town. I can't wait to make so little money that I'm more write-off than man.

18
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:17,600
Just write it all off. Please, NX Michigan. We like hockey and maple syrup too.

19
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:21,760
Which one's Michigan again?

20
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,040
That one's over by the Great Lakes, right? They've got a lake.

21
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,760
No, I know. I'm just teasing them. He's making a joke. I'm teasing them.

22
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:43,120
The lake's name after them? Yes, I know. Oh, it actually kills me how hard it is for me to joke about being stupid without people.

23
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,360
The thing is that Linus also doesn't understand that I'm not being serious.

24
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,080
I hate you so much. It gets him every time and I love it.

25
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,920
We held a meeting today in a very interesting, you can't say what it is.

26
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:01,120
I know, I know. We had a meeting today in a very interesting location.

27
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,760
It was cool. It was awesome. Am I allowed to guess what it is?

28
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,920
No. Not correctly.

29
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,800
Oh, I see. Okay, your backseat of a car.

30
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,760
Sort of. Oh, I know where it is.

31
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:24,880
Wow, that really didn't take long. Okay, you know what's funny is I totally wasn't trying to go there with it.

32
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,640
I was just like, where's a weird place to have it?

33
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,400
It wasn't the backseat. We built a gaming fake taxi.

34
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,960
No, no. No, no, no, no, no, no.

35
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:44,720
No, no. We've decided that adult content does not align with our brand values

36
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,040
and we will not be making any investments in that area.

37
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:56,800
Well, I think you and I have talked about the idea of like a streamer hotel, essentially, right?

38
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Not like by the hour. What's wrong with you?

39
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,480
You led into that from adult content.

40
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:12,960
What did you expect me to do? At a certain point, you led for that 100%.

41
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,520
Well, I mean, yeah, it's still adult content, but not like a hotel hotel.

42
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:26,800
I was talking to, this may surprise you, but I was talking to Elijah about this.

43
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:35,360
Of course you were. And apparently, and this makes sense, a major concern for adult content streamers is doxing

44
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,000
and like your physical location when you're streaming, right? Okay, I mean, that is true for everyone.

45
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,720
Yeah, but anyway, you and I had talked in the past about

46
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:51,360
like what Sevidus was doing down in Seattle and having like a space that's essentially like,

47
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:59,200
that's what I mean by streamer hotel. So like you have basically, you run the infrastructure for the space.

48
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,640
People rent it by the room. You've got a big fat internet pipe.

49
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:10,560
You have some services on site. You do hardware, whether it's through Creator Warehouse or whether it's through

50
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,000
like your infrastructure team or whatever. You like basically make sure the thing runs slowly.

51
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,040
You can help with sponsorships and partnerships and creating merch. Smoothly.

52
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,800
Sorry. You said make sure the thing runs slowly. Smoothly.

53
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:29,920
Yeah. Smoothly. And so at some point, there was a conversation that was like, oh, well,

54
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:35,600
like, yeah, something like that. The only people that I could think of that for them to have,

55
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,640
for them to get a lot of value out of a space like that would be like adult content creators

56
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,680
because then they don't have to worry about doxing when they're live because they would

57
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,760
just be in this like generic room. You could maintain security for the building and privacy and like all that kind of stuff.

58
00:05:51,840 --> 00:05:56,320
And stuff like security gets a lot more reasonable when you're effectively splitting

59
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,600
the cost across a bigger group of people. Yeah, exactly.

60
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:06,320
So anyway, anyway, we put together a document over the last little while and I was looking

61
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,560
at it this week, which is just like every business idea we've ever had.

62
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,720
Are you sure about it? I'm sure. I haven't had enough time to properly go through all of it, but I have seen,

63
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,800
I've looked through some of it. Anyway, so that is in the document, but don't worry.

64
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,120
We've had a conversation recently that basically went, that is not aligned with our brand values.

65
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,040
It's also a very old idea.

66
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:35,440
Back when I think that would have made even more sense. I think it makes a little bit less sense now.

67
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:42,160
The idea was streamer hotel. And then the reason we never did it aside from just money is that I couldn't figure out

68
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,400
who it would make sense for. And then the part that you weren't up to date on was having that conversation with Elijah,

69
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,280
where he's like, oh yeah, that's like a major concern. And I was like, oh yeah, that, that could align.

70
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:57,440
But I have, I'm going to be honest with you. I have no idea how many adult streamers there are like in our area.

71
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,040
I literally don't know. And it's okay. I don't need to know.

72
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,080
You do not need to link me to your favorite. In fact, I'm closing float plain chat right now.

73
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,480
There. Well, you can't post those things in float plain chat so people get banned.

74
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,520
They would. If they post adult links in float plain chat. Yeah.

75
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,880
Oh, okay. Good. The system works. Yeah. Yeah. Don't do that.

76
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,360
Okay. And I'm opening float plain chat again. It's safe now. Okay.

77
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,920
lttstore.com. Stop it.

78
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,320
Prude. Look, I'm not saying I'm a prude.

79
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,440
I'm just saying a time and there's a time and place. There's a time and place.

80
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,080
What are some of our other ideas?

81
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,960
We should just let the community vote on what we spend money on.

82
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,520
That couldn't possibly go wrong. It never has.

83
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Okay. Hear me out. We bring back the coin.

84
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Drop coin. It only goes down.

85
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,000
Who is that out there? Jay.

86
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,920
Basically, this doc is literally every idea that we've ever had about anything,

87
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,520
no matter how ridiculous.

88
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,160
I can't hear you, Jake.

89
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,800
I'm not relaying. Okay.

90
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,080
So I like actually had to ban some people from that and I am disappointed.

91
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,840
Typical. Just typical.

92
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:40,800
Some people are trying to like catch it with links that looked like adult content

93
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,120
and then like more than one person post the links that actually were adult content and it's like.

94
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,560
This is a Christian Minecraft server. Okay. Stop.

95
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,520
What me or them? Them. Oh. Yeah. No, that was funny.

96
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,480
It's an older meme. No, it was good. I liked it. Yeah. 100%.

97
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,200
Look back to his community moderation days. Yeah, it's been a minute.

98
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,680
What else is in here? Whale lands in here.

99
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Doing that. I'm stoked. I'm psyched.

100
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,000
Hey, are you going to attend the practice land? What's that?

101
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:23,600
I guess you probably can't tell me. Yeah, I'm good at. Yeah, probably. If I'm like in the country, yeah, I'll make it.

102
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:28,240
This guy. This guy. Yeah, we're going to do it. We're going to do a practice like staff only land.

103
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,760
Yeah, fantastic. Yeah, it's going to be awesome. Oh, I, yeah, I know.

104
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,200
Yeah, I don't, I still, was there a specific date?

105
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,840
I remember you guys said that kind of nonchalant in a group meeting.

106
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,520
And it was the first time I had ever heard of it. And I immediately posted in the infrastructure chat

107
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,040
that we have been like heads up because none of us knew it was coming.

108
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,560
They should know. Chases on it. Well, they do now because I told them.

109
00:09:52,560 --> 00:09:56,320
Okay. Chases on it. Thanks, Luke. Do you remember? Nobody knew.

110
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,120
Chases on the case. Okay. I was just going to say no.

111
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,880
Yeah. What else am I looking at? Do bad people know when they're banders at shadow?

112
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,760
The bands that I just headed out were not shadow.

113
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600
Got them. We have both.

114
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,840
Some of these ideas are like terrible.

115
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,120
I opened the app Luke side hard. My wife said to me, are you okay?

116
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,560
My wife is worried about you. No, I'm fine. I don't even know what I sighed to, but I'm fine.

117
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,600
Look at this one. Kick them off the site. No, they just can't use chat anymore.

118
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,200
LTX 2026. Heck yeah, dude. Heck yeah, dude.

119
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,560
I don't know, man. Heck yeah, dude. Oh, what is this?

120
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:43,440
I changed this. So the priority matrix has high cost, high value,

121
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,400
high cost, low value, low cost, low value, and low cost, high value.

122
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:54,240
I changed this to high cost, low value. We've literally, it is literally low value.

123
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,840
It has never made money. It depends on how you measure value. We've done it four times.

124
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,520
Listen to Luke. All right, we've talked about this.

125
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:09,920
If the value was supposed to be community sentiment or creator relationships, then that was an abysmal f***ing failure.

126
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,280
We thought it was good at the time.

127
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:24,720
No, it's not that all line is values is money. It's that when it has no value across the board, it's real tough.

128
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,600
We were at quite the peak. Very temporarily afterwards.

129
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,720
Yes, it came back down rather rapidly.

130
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,360
But within a, you know, a couple of weeks, we were doing real good.

131
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Grimoire says the charity auction was notable.

132
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,120
You should do, in 2026, you should do a charity auction of exclusively water blocks.

133
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,640
I mean, just go, go around and find all the most exotic.

134
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,840
I still have the one.

135
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:03,200
Round two.

136
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:14,480
Oh man. You should get a bunch of like CNC companies around the area

137
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:20,080
all to make one-off water blocks. Just do an entire charity auction of just random one-off water.

138
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,240
Each of them smart water blocks that anyone would ever want to buy.

139
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,960
They all come with a framed email saying not to.

140
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Oh man. I am auctioning the deal.

141
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:38,800
Pray I don't auction.

142
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:47,840
Find your topics. No, that's only for when there's a big section of time

143
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,760
that I just have to sit here and try to figure out how my face is going to be interpreted.

144
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,000
Yeah.

145
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,560
Yes. Oh, this is definitely the pre-show, Jake.

146
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:08,000
This is too hot for TV. I thought you were still looking at it.

147
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,400
Do you, do you actually want to upgrade the Wi-Fi in your house?

148
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,040
I don't know. I think we should have it in our back pocket as a video idea for desperate.

149
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Should we update the Wi-Fi in Luke's house? But I'd rather do it on a yacht.

150
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:25,360
Why not both? I think if we do the yacht, we put the audience one, like the stadium one,

151
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,760
and then we can just like roll up to like the beach somewhere and just like Wi-Fi.

152
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:35,360
That would be kind of not a bad idea. I wonder if it would work. It's kind of a bad idea, but it's a stupid idea.

153
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:42,640
If you parked your yacht next to the convention center for LTX and had crazy Wi-Fi on the yacht.

154
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,400
How am I supposed to get a crazy connection though? The best I could get is like Starlink.

155
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,920
We could get like 12 Starlinks. That does work.

156
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,480
Would that be cheaper than paying the stupid convention center fees for internet?

157
00:13:54,480 --> 00:14:02,720
Yeah. There's a valid business option, not only to host LTX now, but also it is now cheaper to run.

158
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,840
And I can get you a deal on the yacht. Is there a company that rents Starlink dishes?

159
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,720
Because like I saw somebody is remote that I don't even remember what it was,

160
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:18,000
but they had like 36 Starlink dishes. Because it was like a research thing where they needed throughput,

161
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,160
but they were in the middle of nowhere and that was the only option.

162
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Well, the best option. The monthly is not that bad.

163
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:30,720
I don't know. Oh man, people want alternatives to Starlink.

164
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,400
Guys, there's no alternative to Starlink right now. No, that's reasonable.

165
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,640
That's our next company. 70,000 satellites.

166
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Linus Tech Tips Aerospace Company.

167
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:48,240
No, it's cool. And call it orange origin. Okay, only if my rockets can be even more phallic.

168
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,080
Yeah, just yeah, that's fine. I want actual balls at the bottom.

169
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Full cock and balls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, is that a bleep thing?

170
00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,400
Cock and balls? No, I don't think so. Who knows? Cognitive behavioral rocket ship.

171
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,360
Are y'all still chill with Starlink given Elon's everything?

172
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:17,680
Look, I think that given how many people have been piling on me

173
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,800
for being an Elon hater or whatever,

174
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:28,960
even though the things that I dislike about him were absolutely red flags that existed before that are only just,

175
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:33,440
they're just now obvious to people. When he disbanded Tesla's PR department,

176
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,000
that told us everything we needed to know about the man. It told us that he doesn't think he's accountable

177
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,680
and he doesn't need to answer uncomfortable questions. That's what it told us.

178
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:48,320
So we knew everything already. People just didn't want to see it, I think is a big part of it.

179
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,600
However, in spite of my issues with the guy,

180
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,040
I think he's just an asshole and have been very public about that for a very long time,

181
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,400
Starlink is a product right now utterly without competition.

182
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,280
Nothing is even close. It's also like he's extremely public.

183
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,440
You can tie most companies back to a very small group

184
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,360
of actual people that actually own them.

185
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,680
A lot of the people behind those companies are extremely bad people

186
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,000
that are intending to do extremely bad things and just don't tweet about it.

187
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,360
So because you're not paying as much attention or it's not forced in front of your face,

188
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:39,520
it doesn't mean that there isn't terrible things happening and just a boycotting the people

189
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,760
that are tweeting about the terrible things they're doing and not boycotting the people

190
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,640
that aren't tweeting about the terrible things that they are doing.

191
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,120
I don't think makes it significantly better in my opinion.

192
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,880
So I said cough, Nestle cough. It's like, yeah, there's tons of examples of this

193
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,920
and people will- Never forget that Coca-Cola never denied killing those people.

194
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:08,960
They just said they didn't do it in America. And no one's asking anyone to stop drinking Coke.

195
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,600
You tell that story to people and they're like, wow, that's crazy sip.

196
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,720
I don't know. It's so selective, I find. People's boycotting of these things is so disingenuous.

197
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,880
But why didn't Linus talk about honey?

198
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,520
I don't know, man. I don't know.

199
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,720
It's like if it's relatively convenient for people

200
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,000
to not do something or boycott something, then they won't do it.

201
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,880
Dude, there's a story recently. This company that made Disco Elysium,

202
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,240
I don't remember their name right now, but there's a story that came out recently

203
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,240
about how a big part of the game's whole thing.

204
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520
I haven't played it, so I apologize. You should have. It's great, but you should have hired it.

205
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,920
So this, no, but this is- Yeah, that's what we're talking about.

206
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,840
There's a whole story behind that. Story what? Okay, you'll have to catch me up there. He said you should play,

207
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:06,400
yeah, Zaum or Zaum or however they're pronounced. They were selling like $160 junkie bags

208
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,120
that were supposed to look like one of the bags in the game. And maybe if you've played it,

209
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:15,680
you can correct me on this because I might say something that's wrong. But part of the game is kind of making fun of people

210
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:21,040
that spend a lot of money to look poor. And then they're selling $160 bags that look like junk.

211
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:26,320
Oh yeah, okay, that's funny. And someone who used to work there

212
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,440
is saying that the people that buy this stuff,

213
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,560
you can name match them with the people that complain about it online.

214
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,560
Yeah, that makes sense. They have the orders database. He used to work there.

215
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:42,160
And he'd say you'd see people on Twitter and stuff raging about this stuff. All it goes against the moral questions of the game

216
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,080
and all this kind of stuff. And then you see the same name on a purchase order buying the damn thing.

217
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,000
Yeah. And it's like, it's just an ocean of just spineless people

218
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,120
just going after the things that are most pushed in their face,

219
00:18:55,120 --> 00:19:00,800
not the actual horrific problems, and then trying to morally grandstand about it.

220
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,280
It's exhausting. Sorry. I will. Wow. Tell us how you really feel with this.

221
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,360
I don't think I've ever seen him this riled up. It's so annoying.

222
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,320
So you're an apologist? Dude. I'm not an apologist.

223
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,600
What part of me say he's an asshole? It's not even sort of what's happened. He's an apologist.

224
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,920
You don't get it. I'm saying the product is utterly without competition

225
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,760
in the market. There is not a viable alternative to Starlink

226
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,560
for many people. Many people.

227
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,400
That is a fact.

228
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,320
And literally zero point of that is me.

229
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,120
Elon apologizing. Get off it.

230
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,440
My goodness.

231
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,520
Sydney Brokitt says, does not have competition is not the same

232
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,360
as utterly without equal. I mean, in this case, you're right.

233
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:56,320
They're not quite the same thing, but what they are both is true.

234
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,280
The competition to Starlink, depending on what you need it for,

235
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,840
is it goes anywhere from impractical

236
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:11,600
and overpriced to utterly unusable. That's pretty much the spectrum.

237
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:16,240
And look, I don't have a Starlink subscription right now.

238
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:23,040
I have at times in the past, we bought Starlink for that video that we did

239
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:29,520
and we explored it. We explored putting Starlink on the gaming van,

240
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,360
but found out that it just didn't really make sense if I wanted any of the,

241
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,280
I would have had to take off either a quarter or half of the solar panels or whatever.

242
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,360
But like, yeah, I have.

243
00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,800
And I don't know, I'm sorry. To me, it's been pretty obvious

244
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,400
that the guy's an asshole for a very, very, very long time.

245
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:53,440
Sorry. No.

246
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760
I don't know. I don't think you need to be sorry. Okay.

247
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,720
Okay. Let's continue this conversation. Should I be sorry for buying from Amazon sometimes?

248
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,760
But this is, this is my whole point. Is like, you have to find your own things.

249
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,640
I like KitKats. You have to find your own things. I like KitKats.

250
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,120
I'm sorry. You have to find your own things. This is why like I,

251
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,120
because like I still don't buy off Amazon. I might give that up at some day.

252
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,400
I don't know. Honestly, it's getting worse, not better.

253
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,680
At this point with places like Team U

254
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,240
and all these other things rising up, it's like,

255
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,280
which one of these,

256
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,160
which one of these is like, am I really helping myself?

257
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,920
You know, I don't know. Am I really helping others? Dude.

258
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,000
It's very hard not to. I've been not shopping on Amazon for many years. I don't find it that difficult.

259
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,520
This is such. I find it not particularly convenient. This is such a, oh, I thought

260
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,760
I thought dead antisocial was talking about me. Where?

261
00:21:58,960 --> 00:21:59,440
What do you say?

262
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:03,120
I don't see it.

263
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,320
It's pretty recent. My chat's going pretty fast.

264
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,880
D-E-D.

265
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:17,440
Oh.

266
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:25,360
Okay, whatever. Basically, you just said he's not an asshole. He's a complete narcissist.

267
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:29,200
Nazi piece of s*** always has been. You thought he said, you thought he said, my goodness.

268
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,480
I also noticed that antisocial said, I should have been transparent about honey.

269
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,280
I actually have some.

270
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,160
If you were paying very close attention to the whole honey thing,

271
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,400
you would know that, here we go.

272
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,280
So now people are mad that we're not mad enough at Elon?

273
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Is that how, so people were mad that we were mad at Elon? I don't know.

274
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,400
And then now people are mad that we're not mad enough at Elon? I don't know.

275
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,000
I did a new job. I'm trying to track it.

276
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,440
I'm trying to make sure that I'm like up to speed with what's going on.

277
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,560
Man, I'm trying to find. Because if you don't like huff his gas enough,

278
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,640
I guess you don't keep up with all the really little gritty things

279
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,480
that he does and then you don't know. Let's see if I can find it.

280
00:23:27,360 --> 00:23:30,560
Hold on. So here's the thing.

281
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,880
Here it is. I found it.

282
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:42,240
When I said, like, yeah, this was like a known thing,

283
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,720
I knew from hearing from barnacles. Yeah.

284
00:23:47,360 --> 00:23:51,760
I wasn't a part of content at that time. I didn't know we dropped them.

285
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,880
I knew about it because people tweeted me about it.

286
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,040
Because here's the thing.

287
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:08,240
No, you're trying to slide it off as him just being an asshole? No, we're not. Original MCW made a video about this four years ago.

288
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:21,280
Actually, more like four and a half years ago. Affiliate Marketing MC made a video four years ago with 137,000 views.

289
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:28,640
Why didn't I make an expose? Because exposed how the honey app makes money,

290
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,760
affiliate influencer scam already existed.

291
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,720
So I heard about it. Same as anybody else.

292
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,560
Yeah. Yeah, I regret promoting it now that I know.

293
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,480
But I didn't know. All I knew was when I found out about this.

294
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,920
Same as everybody else. It is what it is.

295
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,600
We can only make the best decisions that we can make

296
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,480
with the information we have at the time we have that information.

297
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:04,240
That's it. That's all we can do. So when we found out, we dropped their asses.

298
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,320
That's it. I know.

299
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,360
I know some people really, really want it to go deeper than that.

300
00:25:13,360 --> 00:25:17,520
But I just, I don't have anything for you. I don't have anything for you.

301
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,000
It's tough. It's tough, you know?

302
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,280
Someone said when uploading scrapyard wars that honey sponsored,

303
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,560
are you going to keep the ads in? Oh, wow.

304
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,440
That's a good question.

305
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:39,600
I think no. One of the things that we did tell Megaleg during the investigation

306
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,040
questioning thing was that we were going to reevaluate our policies

307
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,360
around keeping sponsors up.

308
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,600
We had a conversation about that. That's, so that's been an ongoing thing.

309
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:56,080
And we had a conversation about it in exec meeting this week. I don't want to talk out of turn though.

310
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,080
So we do have an action, a draft action plan,

311
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,480
but I'm going to wait till Colton and his team have it finalized

312
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,920
and have like made sure that they're good with it

313
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,840
before I go ahead and talk about it.

314
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,920
Yeah. So I'm just going to, just going to wait. Oh, I'm sure you heard about this, but someone linked in flip.

315
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:26,080
I lost their name. I apologize. I think it was unique upon me, but I did lose it.

316
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,120
So I'm not always uncertain that that's right. But what are you talking about?

317
00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:32,480
Trump delays removal of tariff exemption, also known as de minimis.

318
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,920
So it's delays though. Delays the removal of the exemption.

319
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,560
Sorry. De minimis. Yeah. No, no, I know, but I know that he would, they were removing it.

320
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:48,640
He delays the removal of the, sorry. So there is or there isn't a de minimis exemption.

321
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,400
Currently, I guess there would still be one. Oh, no, I know. Yeah. Yeah, we'll be talking about that.

322
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,680
Don't worry. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. Don't worry. I got you. I was making sure. I got you.

323
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:03,360
I got you, man. Yeah, guys, don't worry. We've been, we've been following that very closely.

324
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,800
Rather close. I just didn't know if you had specifically talked about, okay.

325
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,840
I've been getting briefings like multiple times a day as the situation,

326
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,200
whether I want them or not, people keep messaging me and like.

327
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,240
I mean, it's a, it's a really big deal. Jeff, I'm going to stop.

328
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:20,080
I'm like, okay, sure. Yeah, I guess I'll make that.

329
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:28,000
You know what? I got to be honest with you. Out of everyone on the team, I feel like even though I actually

330
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:35,360
have the most at stake with all of this, I, I feel the most chill about it.

331
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,720
Like, do you want me to respond to this? This isn't our first rodeo.

332
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:50,560
He goes like this. And at the end of the day, like the American people are going to actually lose their

333
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,640
shit if their crap from Temu gets more expensive.

334
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,840
So do you want me to respond to this?

335
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,840
You can respond to whatever you want to free country. If everyone here loses their jobs, it's horrible.

336
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,320
Yeah, but that's, that's not, that we're not,

337
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,000
even if all the tariffs go into place though, that's not an outcome though,

338
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,640
which I know, and which the people talking to me about it know.

339
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,240
Like these are people at a high enough level. They know what the finances are. We'll be fine.

340
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,920
Mostly the company don't. That's fair, but none of those people are the ones raising it with me.

341
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,360
Okay. So I'm saying out of all the people that I'm talking to about it, who are savvy enough.

342
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:32,160
I've had to reassure people on my teams about that. What, that like tariffs aren't going to sink us?

343
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:38,080
How long does this company have to exist and be responsibly managed before people

344
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,480
will believe me when I say? Well, this is pretty dramatic. Like this is a big, it's a big impact.

345
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,560
August 2023 was a big impact. This is an inconvenience.

346
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:54,960
No, it's a big impact. It's just a different big impact. We'll be fine. Yeah, I know, I know, I'm just saying, it's still a big impact.

347
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:58,320
Yeah, but we'll, we'll solve it. I know. Like that's the thing. You know what?

348
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:04,320
I remember having. I'm not that freaked out about it. I remember having this conversation with Chris Perilla back in the day.

349
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Where I, because you remember, you know, 10 years ago, I would always be freaking out about

350
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,080
what if YouTube goes away or what if our channel gets deleted or what if this?

351
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,600
What if that? What if we got to start over? Mitigation strategies, diversification, right?

352
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:25,680
Like I was, I was, I was, I was. A lot of stuff we did then was good. It was good, but it was like, it was like, it was out of fear.

353
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,960
Yeah. It wasn't out of prudent planning and maybe it was prudent to be fearful,

354
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,440
but the point is just that it was motivated by, by existential terror.

355
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:42,720
You know? And he said to me, he's like, look, platforms come, platforms go.

356
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,920
I've been through it. Eventually you just kind of get numb to it.

357
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,480
And I think I'm at that stage.

358
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,600
Yeah. YouTube kind of feels here to stay, but I'm, I'm sure he genuinely went through that.

359
00:29:55,600 --> 00:30:00,320
And it felt like, I think a lot of people forget this because a lot of sites like Facebook

360
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,560
didn't leave my space left, all the other ones from there on that area left,

361
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:12,480
all the old random YouTube video, the YouTube style video platforms are, are gone effectively.

362
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,560
Back in the day, internet websites would, would come and go very rapidly.

363
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,600
Platforms would come and go very rapidly. YouTube having staying power, Twitch, even at this point.

364
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:27,120
Unprecedented. Has been around forever. Like these websites having this staying power, is it, is a relatively new thing?

365
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,520
Yep. As much as it feels like the norm now. Yeah. So it's a slash.dig Reddit.

366
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,560
Yeah. Reddit kind of like ended that, but there was a ton of websites like that back in the day.

367
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:38,400
Stumble upon. It was cool.

368
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,560
My space still exists. Yeah. Sure. Cool.

369
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,760
I mean, it does technically, but you know what I mean. My space pivoted, yeah, to three people.

370
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:56,960
I don't know. It's surprise unemployment is a fear no matter what anyone says always will be for me.

371
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,080
Yeah. That, I mean, that's fair. That's fair.

372
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,280
But what I will say is that

373
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:11,920
we are responsibly managed, fiscally responsibly managed as a company.

374
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Yvonne and I, I feel like I've talked a lot about sort of Yvonne's careful financial management

375
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:25,760
over the years and I've sort of made myself a butt of the joke about, you know, how I'm,

376
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,560
you know, I'm irresponsible. I'm always asking her to do crazy stuff.

377
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,040
I have never asked her to do anything that would put us in financial jeopardy.

378
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:40,080
There have been times when we've, we've bet big, you know, buying the studio was a big bet.

379
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,120
But it was a calculated bet.

380
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,720
It was a necessary bet. We, we had to move into a commercial space.

381
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:57,120
We, we made deals that made it made sense, that made it make sense, like the vessel sponsorship

382
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,800
or the vessel deal that we did. Gold controller.

383
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:06,240
Yeah. Gold controller was like, sure, it was irresponsible, but it was irresponsible in the sense that

384
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:16,320
I was buying an asset, gold, at a time when, you know, global stability was on the decline.

385
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:22,560
And I was getting content out of it that I knew once we made it would cover any like crafting

386
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,960
costs that went into the actual fabrication of the items. Like what risk did I actually take?

387
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,680
Yeah, that one didn't really bother me. So like, yes, I get negative feedback on that.

388
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:39,120
Yeah, a little bit, but like, but like, I play this, I play this character on camera of like,

389
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,960
oh, crazy Linus, you never know what he's going to do next. We're on the brink, we're not on the brink of anything.

390
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:52,160
We're not on the brink of anything. It's okay. I mean, I think I've, I think I've told Luke, like the way that Yvonne and I would,

391
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:59,280
would budget for the year would be based on not our forecast for that year, but would be based on

392
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,520
if we shoot now, I actually remember this, but I haven't, we haven't done it in a while.

393
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:11,600
I would definitely say it wrong, but I yeah, it was based on something along the lines of like,

394
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:19,120
if we had to run it for the entire following year on only the profits we made last year

395
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,800
or something like that, assuming zero revenue pretty much was the way that we would budget

396
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,480
year after year after year. And the company has matured a little bit now.

397
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,040
We don't have the same kind of explosive growth that would accommodate that anymore.

398
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,840
But costs are more approaching the gain of the company, which is normal.

399
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:44,560
But that's normal. We've, we've reached a more mature stage of the company, but we've also been running

400
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:51,280
stably, profitably for 12 years now, right?

401
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:56,160
So there's, there's a war chest there. There's genuinely funny that we both looked at the, there's, yeah, I know.

402
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,240
There's contingency. There's contingency plans, right?

403
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:04,480
It's like, it's rapidly approaching half my life, by the way.

404
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,400
Thought I had the other day.

405
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,320
Oh, that's f***ing up. Like actually getting very close.

406
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:25,120
Wow. All right. Anyway, if there's anyone on staff watching, yeah, you know what, it's, it's natural

407
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,720
and it's understandable to have that kind of fear.

408
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,560
I, that's what motivated me for a not insignificant part of my career,

409
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,400
was that fear that it could all go away. Make hay while the sun's shining.

410
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,920
If I had a dollar for every time I told Yvonne, make hay while the sun's shining,

411
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,400
I'd have, I don't know, probably be in the situation I'm in now.

412
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,440
Like it's, it was very much my philosophy.

413
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:58,000
But like the people who work here now, they don't work for that company

414
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,080
that I was worried would go away tomorrow 10 years ago, you know?

415
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:06,720
It's a very, it's a very different company.

416
00:35:06,720 --> 00:35:11,760
It has, it has a whole leadership team.

417
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,760
It doesn't just have like, you know, one person making decisions that, you know,

418
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:20,240
may or may not be somewhat irresponsible or whatever. It's, there's, there's processes.

419
00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:24,240
We, we move a little, we move a little slower than we used to.

420
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:28,000
And that can be a bad thing because, you know, sometimes we're not,

421
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,760
we're not quick enough to react, but it can also be a good thing because it means

422
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,440
that we don't overreact all the time, you know?

423
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,640
Sometimes, but everybody does sometimes.

424
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,720
Yeah. Yeah, Tynan says the world is spicy and it always will be at least somewhat spicy.

425
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:52,080
Yeah, you're not wrong. I think it's important to moderate how much of that spice invades your brain hole.

426
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:59,680
It's hard though. It is very hard. It's hard. And especially when you look at the way like the media coverage of things has changed,

427
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:09,440
you can't avoid that every, every new development is a, is a, is a world ending potential catastrophe.

428
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,720
Yep. I think sometimes, and you should, I don't think people should completely disconnect from that.

429
00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:24,880
I've tried it before. I don't think it's the right route. I do at the same time think that sometimes it is not worth it when, when things are completely

430
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:30,640
outside of your control, sometimes you need to just focus on what you can, what you can do

431
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:36,480
as an individual to try to make things better, small things, medium things, big things, whatever,

432
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:41,120
whatever they are, make your life, make the people around you, make their lives better

433
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:47,760
if you can, and then just keep moving. Harry009 says, hey Linus, gold has gone up about 84% since you did the gold controller.

434
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:49,040
I know.

435
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:58,560
What all the rage bait? Yeah, that's, they're making money off of you. It's that, it's that like life is constant PVP thing.

436
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:04,160
You have to understand that rage bait is someone trying to financially manipulate your brain

437
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:11,200
into them making money off of you. It has nothing to do with giving you, you know, what you actually want.

438
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:19,360
That is, that is how that works. So like understanding that and understanding that you are actively being actively manipulated

439
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,960
whenever you're looking, whenever you swipe on your phone to go to the Google news feed.

440
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,720
Yeah. Your phone is trying to keep you there. All those articles are trying to keep you there.

441
00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:32,160
And one of the best ways to do that is to make you pissed, to make you just live it all the time.

442
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,320
Yeah. So understand that and control it.

443
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,440
You say that like it's easy. It's not at all. And I suffer with it too.

444
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:44,000
And everyone will because there is billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars

445
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,880
and thousands and tens of thousands of people all obsessed with fighting you.

446
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:52,000
And you have to win.

447
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,560
But try not to obsess over that either. Yeah.

448
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,960
Yeah. But sometimes like,

449
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,520
yeah, I don't know. Go touch some grass.

450
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,000
Yeah. Touching grass is good. But it's getting harder. It's getting harder.

451
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,920
Touching snow counts, in my opinion. Yeah. Touching snow counts. Touching snow completely counts.

452
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,280
You go on the mountain, you know. Potentially better the grass. Breeds the mountain air.

453
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:21,680
Yeah. I think snow is grass plus. I went for a nighttime walk the other night.

454
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,880
Fantastic. And the snow. Nighttime walk is great. Fantastic. It was snowing.

455
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,760
It was quiet. It was beautiful. Yeah. Nighttime walk, vastly underrated.

456
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,400
It's really good. Underrated. It's really good. Yep.

457
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,200
Every once in a while, I'll like drag Yvonne out for a nighttime walk around the neighborhood.

458
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,600
It's like, isn't it nice that we can do this?

459
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,640
Seriously. You know? Yeah. It's great.

460
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,480
Yeah. I am Campbell says agreed. Night walk for the win. Night walks are great.

461
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,640
100%. Jardine says it's cold outside. Can I just watch Shorzy instead?

462
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,200
I mean, yeah. Okay. But then.

463
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,560
I'll allow it. You know, go do that another time. Or go on a treadmill that's inside and it can be nice and warm or something like that.

464
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,800
Live your life. Touch the ground outside of any kind. Yeah, there you go.

465
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,640
Maybe you don't have grass. Maybe you don't have snow. It's okay. You could touch sand. It's okay.

466
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,080
Don't overthink it. Touch sand.

467
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,320
That would actually be great. Like a little keyboard tester style thing,

468
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,960
where you just like put your finger in the holes and there's grass and sand and dirt and rocks.

469
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:25,120
Put that on the sheet.

470
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,040
And then just to add spice, there's like a diarrheal one. Oh no.

471
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,920
Because that's what life's like. Every once in a while. Sometimes you go outside and you just you step in.

472
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,360
You just step in top of it. It's going to happen. I'm going to enter the washroom speaking of which and I'll be right back.

473
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,360
Maybe we could start the show. If that's your biggest problem for the day, you're probably doing all right.

474
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,520
It's a long pre-show. Yeah, sometimes it needs to happen.

475
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,600
Talk about birds. For people that don't know, I have three birds now, technically.

476
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:10,000
One of them is a foundling, which is what you call a bird that you rescue from the wild.

477
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,600
Stole it. Did not steal it. Stole it from the parks.

478
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,160
Saved its life. Budgies would super not survive in BC.

479
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:24,240
Put it with the rest of the ducks. It was actively being chased by other birds when it caught it.

480
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,920
No, it wasn't me. Got borrowed. There you go. Thank you, Nerdle. You borrowed it. The birds are free.

481
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:32,480
You can just take them. You can just take them. Anyways, yeah, she's doing really well.

482
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,960
The foundling is a girl bird.

483
00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:40,640
A stalling? No, a foundling. Please stop it.

484
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,560
All the birds are actually doing really well right now. The one that had the biggest health issue,

485
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:51,200
when the two had health issues, the one that had the worst of it is on forever medicine.

486
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,800
But we've gotten a lot better at giving that medicine

487
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:02,400
to the point where M and I can both do it solo.

488
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:09,120
So you can catch the bird and give them medicine at the same time, which super doesn't feel great,

489
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,640
but being able to do it really makes lives a lot better.

490
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:20,560
Because needing, no matter what, every single day to be home at exactly every 12-hour interval

491
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:21,920
was really rough.

492
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,200
But yeah, Luke even privateers a bird.

493
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,760
Wow, wow, ridiculous.

494
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:41,440
Oh, Luke, when were the backpack replacement pulls sent out?

495
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,600
I have no idea. I honestly, I bet you the rest of chat probably,

496
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,600
someone else in chat might know better than I do.

497
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,560
Automate the medicine feeding? No, you have to force them. They don't like it.

498
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:04,400
Although we ended up, the vet gave us like strawberry flavored

499
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,440
stuff, so he likes it a little bit more now, but he still doesn't like the process.

500
00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:09,760
Likes the flavor, doesn't like the process.

501
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,800
Get a parrot and have it on your shoulder. They are technically parrots,

502
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,240
and the first bird that we had would sit on my shoulder all the time.

503
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:25,360
But these ones, we got two this time because I was back

504
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,600
in office, I wasn't at home all the time, and we didn't want to leave him alone.

505
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:36,000
It's much harder to make them interact with you physically

506
00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:39,920
when you get two. Usually they just want to hang out with each other, and they want you there.

507
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:45,920
They like your presence. They want to interact with you all the time. They find it very fun. It's very obvious, but if you only have one,

508
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,720
they're going to want to like perch on you and stuff like that. And if you have two, they might still,

509
00:42:50,720 --> 00:42:52,560
but it's much more difficult.

510
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,000
Tell me all the shitty things they said. El Tord just outed you guys.

511
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:05,360
They were... So all the things that we didn't say about Elon

512
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:08,000
that apparently we were evil for not saying, they said about you.

513
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:14,720
I don't blame them. Yep. They're right. Yep. I think I'm just going to embrace my villain arc now.

514
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,240
If it's that thing where like, this is actually apparently a thing with kids,

515
00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:25,360
as far as my understanding goes. You probably know, I'm assuming better than me.

516
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:30,240
What are you saying? Go ahead. Complete that thought, sir.

517
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:34,480
When you keep telling someone something, that they are something, they will kind of become it.

518
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,280
So if you like repeatedly tell a kid that they're stupid. Yeah, they'll actually get dumber.

519
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,600
They're like, going to be stupid. Why would you think that I would know that?

520
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,040
You are such a f***ing asshole. Because there's the opposite.

521
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,000
Come on. Come on.

522
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:55,120
But then the opposite, scary. Because if you like keep telling some kid that they're brilliant,

523
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,320
then they'll lose incentive to like study and stuff like that. Yeah, I think maybe we just might be overthinking that.

524
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:06,800
It's like maybe a little somewhere in the middle. Yeah. Maybe we should just be, you know, supportive and corrective with kids.

525
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,480
Yeah. Maybe that would be good. If you keep telling Luke he's a f***ing asshole,

526
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,000
he'll be a f***ing asshole. Good. Yeah, good. You don't know me.

527
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,360
Maybe I already am. Yeah, maybe he already is. You ever think of that? Yeah. Boom, got him.

528
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:21,920
Yeah, what now? Boom, got him. Maybe, maybe he's the like unhinged one.

529
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,120
And I'm the voice of reason. I write these scripts for Linus.

530
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:31,440
Yeah, you'd never know it. And then he cuts off like 95% of it because they're just,

531
00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:35,600
they're just so toxic. So aggressive and toxic.

532
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,240
And then he knows that if I read it out that I would just go f*** wild.

533
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,800
So he has to read it out and I just have to sit here.

534
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,000
Just seething, seething. He's seen incarnate the whole time.

535
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,320
Yeah, that's really how it goes.

536
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:56,080
Luke's parenting tips. Yeah, I have birds. I definitely know what I'm talking about to raise humans.

537
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:00,160
That's all that works. I mean, they're basically just really small fragile humans.

538
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,240
Directly equivalent. If anything, I think raising a bird shows that you have more skill.

539
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:08,400
Honestly, it's more difficult. Yeah, I am better than all of you parents.

540
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,280
And not narcissistic at all. No.

541
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:22,320
I drive my birds to school. You see our buffalo says thought about it.

542
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:27,280
He laughed during the honey stuff. Luke is a f***. I did, I laughed during the honey stuff.

543
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:30,720
I don't know, probably. Yeah, maybe. Who knows? Yeah. Wait, no, I did.

544
00:45:30,720 --> 00:45:33,920
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, multiple times. Yeah. Yeah.

545
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,600
I mean, Luke laughs at everything though. So we can't really say like, oh, Luke laughed.

546
00:45:38,720 --> 00:45:42,240
I mean, Luke Lafrenier, please.

547
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,480
You know, there was like, when I was like, oh man, I must have been in like grade five or something.

548
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,640
I was at my best friend's house and his parents were roasting me for laughing at everything.

549
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:58,320
This has always been a problem. You know, but the, I got a write up when I was in university from the like,

550
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,880
the leader of our dorms. I got in trouble for laughing too loudly.

551
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:06,560
Yeah. And I was like, what am I supposed to do about this?

552
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,800
Well, there's nothing you can do at that point because they yell at you for laughing too loudly.

553
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,960
And then you can do nothing but continue to laugh loudly because of the power of suggestion.

554
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:18,480
So see, see, see what happens.

555
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,400
This is what you made him. Yeah, it's your fault.

556
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,560
Yeah, jeez.

557
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,400
Chewy messaged me. He goes, I know you're feeling spicy tonight. Try to be tactful with it.

558
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,560
Try not to make my job hard over the weekend.

559
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,640
Don't worry, buddy. I'll try not to get canceled today. Poor Chewy, dude.

560
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:47,200
Everyone's are all like, he's in like the hallway office thing.

561
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,280
Yeah. And everyone's will be passing through it. And he's like heads down working on something.

562
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:55,680
And like, I want to talk to him for a second. Just be like, man, they're like, are you good?

563
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,840
But then I'm like, I'm just going to leave him work. He probably just needs the time.

564
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:03,040
I won't distract. I used to be in that office. I remember people would talk to me all the time

565
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,400
and it drive me crazy. So, but uh. Not Chewy's a Chad. He's got this.

566
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,880
He's got a lot of work. He's got a lot of stuff to do. He's got this.

567
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:12,720
I'm simply vibing in here. So let's go.

568
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,920
Let's go. I feel for you, man.

569
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,880
All right, should we do this thing? Legitimately, one of the reactions

570
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:24,240
that I have when I see like something go down on the internet that has to do with us.

571
00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:26,080
I'm like, ah, Chewy, no.

572
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,840
Why do you have more work to do? That sucks.

573
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,880
It's no longer like, oh no, what are we going to do? Because it's like, I don't know.

574
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:44,160
This happens like every week. Dude, we should start an internal pool for like what's going to be our next controversy.

575
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:48,800
Because like almost literally almost anything could be.

576
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,040
Like, okay, you remember when everyone was like hyper mad at ASUS

577
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:59,520
and for good reason, right? Dude, I have had equally bad experiences

578
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,200
with almost literally every major tech brand.

579
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:07,440
Almost all of them. And we've talked. Do you think it's just tech or is that just who you interface with most?

580
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,800
No, no, we've talked about this extensively on the show. No, no, no.

581
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,720
It's not just tech, but it's also there's patterns. There's patterns.

582
00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:18,000
It's like anything. You follow the money or the lack thereof.

583
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,680
Sure. And we've talked about this extensively on the WAN Show. Going back to when the set had the like metal panels behind it.

584
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:32,000
Where I'm like, okay, look, here's the situation. Why does the customer service suck at every like computer parts retailer?

585
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:35,520
Because they have no money because their margins are so low. Let me tell you about their margins.

586
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:42,320
Let me tell you about their overhead. Let me tell you about the kind of support they get from their brand partners.

587
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:52,240
That's it. If you were willing to buy motherboards at 30%, 40% margin,

588
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:57,920
then they could afford to offer good service. Why do you think Costco doesn't sell CPUs?

589
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:06,400
Because there's no money in it. And Costco's model has that customer service cost baked into it.

590
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:13,440
There is no free lunch. If you want great service, you buy from high margin companies.

591
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,840
And if you want to get the cheapest possible product,

592
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,640
then there's going to be compromises there. And so it's just, it's just one of those things where like,

593
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,280
I don't know what to tell people anymore other than like, yeah,

594
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,720
stuff's going to go wrong sometimes and fight for your rights.

595
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:39,120
You don't fight for support. Go public when things, when things are actually totally unfair.

596
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:43,680
And we've thrown our weight behind stuff like that in the past.

597
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,440
And we're all going to do our best here.

598
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:54,000
But the reality of it is, I have no idea what our next scandal will be.

599
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:58,080
Because we did a sponsored build with Gigabyte one time

600
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:02,240
and Gigabyte has got something I don't know, who knows, probably something.

601
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,600
Um, I think the, I think the, the bigger issue is just, you know,

602
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:12,160
not moving on from things like when they make amends.

603
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,960
Are we, you know, how do we, how do we kind of, how do we kind of move on?

604
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,120
Because the reality of it is, if we canceled every motherboard

605
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:25,920
manufacturer, every time they did something crappy with respect to customer support,

606
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,280
who would we have left? Yeah. Who would you buy a motherboard from?

607
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,920
Who has a clean track record in the motherboard space in particular?

608
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:38,960
Permanently. Yeah. I don't know.

609
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,360
And like there's, I've talked about a bunch of times, my, my experience with.

610
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:50,960
EVGA, please tell me you didn't have a 780i board without telling me you didn't have a 780i board.

611
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,280
Please. I was actually just going to use EVGA as an example

612
00:50:55,280 --> 00:51:00,640
because I talk often about my, my mineral thing with them and about how often they were doing that.

613
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,840
But that was a really long time ago. That was one case.

614
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:10,640
I'm not every person, right? Yeah. Like maybe that, that person on the phone was just having a good day and felt like

615
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:15,520
dealing with me really nicely. Maybe a week later, they had a bad day and dealt with someone poorly.

616
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:23,280
Like you didn't, people are people. They're not these like, and honestly, I think this is going to get worse over time.

617
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,640
With more and more use of like AI style systems and people interfacing with humans less.

618
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:35,040
Oh yeah. And interfacing not with humans more, whether that's, you know, automated checkouts at stores

619
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:39,600
and all these other things that are making so that the, the person-to-person interaction is, is, is less.

620
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:44,880
And while that's going on, some of your interpersonal interaction, including on a

621
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:51,040
relationship level, potentially being more learning towards, more leaning towards AI.

622
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,760
More leaning towards AI systems that are just always going to be amazing to you under every

623
00:51:55,760 --> 00:52:00,160
circumstance, especially in the wording. And then you deal with a real person who has real feelings.

624
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:06,320
And like they're, someone related to them is going through some, maybe they passed away

625
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,960
or they moved to a different country and started running drugs or something crazy.

626
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:17,920
Who knows? Something crazy might be going on in their lives that is impacting their communication.

627
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:25,440
And that's a real person. You should probably still be respectful to them.

628
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,560
And that seems to be kind of going away. I don't know.

629
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:32,080
A bit was not flawless. AN7 was a mess.

630
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,240
I don't think they ever properly acknowledged it.

631
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,600
I think it was the AN7S. No, shoot.

632
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:46,400
It was a later one. They had like a just disastrous board toward the end there.

633
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,000
DFI had some real dog turds toward the end.

634
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,800
Yeah. And Fleming says, one of my daughters worked tech support a few years ago.

635
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,040
She could not believe how horrible people are.

636
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,520
Yeah. It's brutal.

637
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:12,000
But then I also like, I don't know, should we go into this conversation?

638
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:17,120
I don't know. You can talk about whatever you want. Free country. I've talked about this before on Wancho, mostly a really long time ago, I think.

639
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:21,360
But sometimes you'll find subreddits or there's even sections of the forum

640
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,320
and other people's forum and stuff where you see it from the other side.

641
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,920
You work on tech support and people are horrible. Okay.

642
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:32,320
At the same time, you see people that work in tech support,

643
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:36,720
just shame posting the people at their companies because they didn't know something about technology.

644
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:40,080
I'm like, that's why you have a jaw. Shut up.

645
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:46,400
And like, sure. Okay. Those people might be rude, massive assholes sometimes.

646
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,160
Sure. Okay. You can call that out, I guess. But like when the person's just like, yeah,

647
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:56,720
I don't know how this new fangled technology works. It's like, whatever dude, that's why you're there.

648
00:53:56,720 --> 00:54:02,480
Yeah. Their disinterest in technology is your paycheck.

649
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:06,560
Yeah. Like, relax. I don't, I don't know. I've never understood that.

650
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:10,720
I've never understood that. Tales from tech support called out.

651
00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:14,720
But no, seriously. And like some of the stuff on there is completely legitimate.

652
00:54:14,720 --> 00:54:18,240
Yeah, we're people like jerks. Sometimes people are just jerks and that's not okay.

653
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:21,440
Or they lie. Or that. Yeah. Or whatever else.

654
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,560
That's not cool. But a decent amount of it is just like,

655
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:32,320
her, her, this person doesn't know anything about tech. Why can't they figure this out?

656
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,640
It's like, I don't know. Because if they spent the time doing that,

657
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:39,120
it would be a waste of their time. And if they spent the time doing that, you wouldn't have a job anymore.

658
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:44,000
Yeah. That's something that's been really hard for me to wrap my brain around is that there's stuff

659
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:49,760
that I'm like not allowed to do here anymore. Because it's a waste of my time.

660
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,520
Even if it's stuff that I like to do. I don't know if a hundred percent that's true

661
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,760
because you still need to do some things. Oh, I know. No, but there are things that they like,

662
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,360
don't let me do really anymore. Like I'm not allowed to just like run benchmarks.

663
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:02,960
Oh. Yeah.

664
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,400
I don't know if that's good. I don't know if that's necessarily good. It can be good a lot of the time

665
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:17,360
because I actually have more fun on a shoot when I'm experiencing something for the first time.

666
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:23,760
Like and it's fresh. Like there's, okay, we did the gaming at 4K

667
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,800
on the 5090 video earlier this week. So we just instead of using our benchmark suite,

668
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:30,720
we took requests from people.

669
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,360
So I picked some games, Ploof picked some games, and the community picked some games,

670
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,000
and we just like played. Just, okay.

671
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,920
Okay. You know, graphs aside. This was cool. How good is this thing?

672
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,920
And what do you mean you remember it? We shot it this week. Oh, I thought that was a stream.

673
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:50,160
Oh, that wasn't Ploof. No, a different one. Okay. But it's similar to stuff

674
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,280
that we've done like that in the past. So that you're probably thinking of the Battle Mage stream.

675
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,440
Yes. Anyway, so we did that with the 5090 at 4K

676
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:02,880
on a 240 Hertz monitor that I hope is released already.

677
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:08,400
One sec. People are posting about like how they work in tech support

678
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,640
or they work in whatever and people are jerks. There's a difference between someone being a jerk

679
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,680
and someone not knowing what they're doing. Craft computing's here.

680
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,800
Okay, cool. You can run benchmarks for me.

681
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,680
I'd hate for you to feel left out. Thank you.

682
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,120
Okay. Yes, no, it is. It is already talked about already.

683
00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,160
So the QD OLED, 27 inch from MSI.

684
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:37,680
So anyway, MSI sponsored the video and I had not like gamed at 4K on the 5090 yet,

685
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:42,800
and I hadn't actually seen the monitor yet. So it's got DP 2.1 UHBR 20.

686
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:48,400
So it's completely uncompressed, like perfect OLED motion clarity.

687
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,160
It's like the pixel densities, I think 166 PPI.

688
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:56,480
On a 27 inch monitor, like it's not so, right?

689
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:02,160
Anyway, so it was pretty fun for me to not, you know,

690
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,480
make sure all the games worked ahead of time and walk onto set and like experience that fresh

691
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:11,280
because it's like, man, everything looked incredible. Sorry, I just want to point this out again.

692
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,680
Joyce said work and support here. Customers frequently yell, swear and threaten us

693
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,520
with our IRL info and names over the phone via support tickets is the thing we deal with

694
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,840
and you get numb after a while. Unfortunately, I am not calling people out for that.

695
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,960
What is this? I'm not calling people out for people being jerks

696
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,400
and them being annoyed with people being jerks. Yeah. That is totally legit.

697
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:39,280
As we've been saying the whole time, all I'm pointing out is if you work in a support role,

698
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,560
a lot of the departments that I run are what I would consider more of like support roles.

699
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:50,800
People needing your help is not a problem. People being huge jerks is a problem.

700
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,680
Sure, 100% but people needing your help is not a problem.

701
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,880
Yeah. You are the solution to that problem

702
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,160
and that problem will and does exist everywhere.

703
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:06,560
So like get over that part. But when the people are jerks,

704
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:09,840
you shouldn't have to deal with that. That's a totally different thing. And pug boy makes a good point.

705
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:13,440
There is a huge difference between people who are passively unaware

706
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:17,520
and people who purposefully refuse to learn or try to put any effort into learning anything.

707
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:21,120
Yeah, but even that just escalate it and move on.

708
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:28,000
Who cares? I mean, if it was my ninth time going

709
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,360
and showing someone how to print a document, I'd probably be over it.

710
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:35,840
Yeah, but just like, I don't know. You should have a report that you can send that to

711
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,560
and then it should be on the records that this person is wasting company resources.

712
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,320
It should be, but like, you know. And then at a certain point it's just-

713
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:48,320
Companies are, companies are broken. Yeah, not this one.

714
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:52,560
We're flawless. We have no problems.

715
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:55,680
I'm going to change the subject. No communication problems.

716
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,720
No controversy problems. Resuming the selected now. Completely flawless.

717
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:03,360
Resuming the selected, resuming the selected. Resuming the selected.

718
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,360
Resuming the selected. Resuming the selected.

719
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,360
Resuming the selected. Resuming the selected.

720
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,360
Resuming the selected. What's up everybody?

721
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,360
Welcome to The WAN Show! Hello!

722
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:23,360
We've got a great show for you guys this week. Our headline topic was actually written

723
00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:27,360
by the one and only CEO of Linus Media Group. Oh, I was going to say me for a second.

724
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,360
No, I'm not anymore. We'll be talking about the impact

725
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:35,360
on our Creator Warehouse LTT Store business. I didn't know it was written by him.

726
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,360
Some of the tariff stuff that has been going on. I will give you guys a bit of a teaser.

727
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,360
Good news. Our shipments are no longer delayed.

728
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:47,360
Oh. Yeah, so if you were worried about placing an order

729
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,360
or if you were wanting to like cancel your order for your commuter backpack

730
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:55,360
because you were worried it wasn't going to arrive in time. No, no, we've sorted everything out

731
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:59,360
and we're like, dude, the firehose is freaking open

732
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:05,360
Sorry, Chewie said it in chat. Tariff Tong.

733
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,360
In other news, we'll be talking

734
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,360
about how hard it is to buy an RTX 50 series card

735
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,360
in spite of the middling reviews.

736
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:25,360
Things are flipping wild out there. What else we got this week?

737
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,360
Are you ready to risk it all? Framework has a risk 5

738
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,360
main board. Wow. I'm actually

739
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:37,360
very interested. I'm trying to resist not buying one. I probably won't buy one,

740
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:41,360
but I'm trying to resist not buying one. You're not going to buy anything.

741
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:45,360
It's so interesting. You don't buy anything.

742
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,360
It's genuinely so cool. I'm not going to buy it, but it's so cool.

743
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,360
I hope you get one so I can use it. The future of tech channels.

744
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,360
Yeah, why not? It's a main topic. Sure. Let's do it.

745
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,360
You can buy one.

746
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:17,360
The show is brought to you today by Squarespace

747
01:01:17,360 --> 01:01:21,360
Vessie and DeleteMe

748
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,360
and our partner, Dbrand and our chair partner, Secret Lab.

749
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:29,360
Why don't we jump right into our headline topic to start things off

750
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:33,360
and that is of course a topic

751
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:37,360
in our doc that is titled We usually launch a product

752
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,360
on Fridays, but if you have ordered

753
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,360
anything over the last couple of weeks you might know that LTT Store

754
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,360
has been working through some issues that are affecting shipments

755
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:53,360
over the Canadian border. The TLDR for anyone who's not following

756
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,360
current events is that tariffs and inbound shipment restrictions

757
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:01,360
have been flipped off and back on like a light switch

758
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:05,360
and it has affected goods that are made in Canada, Mexico

759
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:09,360
and China, especially moving into the United States.

760
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,360
Because of all the uncertainty we've been in constant communication

761
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,360
with our courier partners on options to get our packages moving

762
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:21,360
several false starts

763
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:25,360
and some delays in shipping out products. However, late this morning

764
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:29,360
we got the green light from our couriers that our shipments

765
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,360
should be able to resume however

766
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,360
this could be temporary. Our warehouse team has worked

767
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:41,360
expeditiously all week picking and packing products, so just because we weren't

768
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,360
shipping doesn't mean that there will necessarily be a huge delay

769
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:49,360
in actual shoving out the door

770
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:53,360
of products and we're trying to get as many packages as possible moving before the weekend.

771
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,360
So that's before now, essentially.

772
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:01,360
We want to make sure that as many pre-existing orders are in transit as possible

773
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,360
before we launch any new products. So that's why we're not launching anything today.

774
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:09,360
We did actually have something that was ready today, but we are not launching it.

775
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,360
So we thank you for your patience as we work through this constantly evolving situation

776
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:17,360
and we expect the remainder of our commuter backpack orders

777
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,360
and waves to be fulfilled within the next couple of weeks, which hopefully

778
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:25,360
will be before any new light switch flipping

779
01:03:25,360 --> 01:03:29,360
happens around tariffs.

780
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:33,360
I know there are a lot of questions about tariffs and the delay in fulfillment is not

781
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:37,360
how we typically like to operate but we would kindly ask you

782
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,360
to hold those questions for a few more days while our support team focuses

783
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:45,360
on getting everyone's orders out in the meantime.

784
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:49,360
Which has been a monumental task. If you have any non-tariff

785
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:53,360
and non-commuter backpack related questions or concerns about your order, our customer support team

786
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:57,360
will be happy to assist you at LMG.gg slash contact us.

787
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:01,360
Due to the volume of questions around recent changes to tariffs and global trade, customer service

788
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:05,360
responses may be delayed and we appreciate your patience.

789
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:09,360
Man, it has been They're doing what they can.

790
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:13,360
It's been a wild ride. We were talking about this in the pre-show but basically

791
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:17,360
I think probably multiple times. Every day this week

792
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:21,360
I've had someone or other on the team ping me either with a message

793
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:25,360
or a request for a quick five minute chat to kind of update me on the situation

794
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:29,360
and I got to say I've actually been

795
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:33,360
surprisingly zen about it. I mean this isn't our first rodeo.

796
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:37,360
We know that a lot of gum flapping happens. We've been in a lot more

797
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:41,360
dire of situations as a company too. Oh, absolutely.

798
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:45,360
Not for a while but still. It's not good because here's something that I think a lot of people

799
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:49,360
don't necessarily realize is the way that things were looking

800
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:53,360
earlier in the week. The issue was not

801
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,360
the 10% on China or even the 25%

802
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:01,360
on Canadian made goods for us, right, because we're shipping

803
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,360
out of Canada and not all but a lot of our products are manufactured in China.

804
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:09,360
So it wasn't as simple as like, oh, okay, because

805
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:13,360
they're shipping from Canada, that means 25% tariff because it's actually down to the

806
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,360
country of manufacture and then you might say, okay, well what, like 10%?

807
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,360
Yeah, realistically we could absorb 10%.

808
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,360
The issue is not the 10%. The issue

809
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:29,360
is that there already are tariffs on Chinese goods.

810
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:33,360
Chinese manufactured goods I should say.

811
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,360
But a lot of them don't get applied

812
01:05:37,360 --> 01:05:41,360
because of an exemption. A de minimis exemption is what it's called

813
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:45,360
on shipments under $800. That's how companies like Temu

814
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:49,360
exist at all because while those tariffs exist

815
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:53,360
that would drive up the prices of their shipments that they send into the United States

816
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:57,360
they have an exemption as long as it's under $800. So they ship in small enough amounts

817
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:01,360
that it's under $800? That it doesn't impact them. So the issue

818
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,360
is the 10% tariff. The issue was that it activated another

819
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:09,360
I think 20% of tariffs

820
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:13,360
with no de minimis exemption. Of course that would have caused

821
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:17,360
immediate chaos because now all of a sudden the border would have been inspecting every

822
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,360
single bloody shipment, which obviously they're not set up for right now

823
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:25,360
so they would have had to figure that out. Which I suspect is part

824
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:29,360
of the reason that this has been paused for now. Not

825
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,360
necessarily because they changed their mind because

826
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:37,360
they feel differently about it now. So if I was

827
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,360
going to give you guys any

828
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:45,360
conclusion from any of this, it would be

829
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:49,360
if you want something from LTT Store regardless of whether we're launching

830
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,360
a new product or not

831
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:57,360
now's a good time to leave a merch message. You might want to leave a

832
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,360
merch message and that's not just us. That basically goes for anything manufactured

833
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:05,360
if you're American south of the border in Mexico, manufactured

834
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,360
north of the border in Canada. And is below 800 bucks, right?

835
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:13,360
Yeah, especially that. Or very, very,

836
01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:17,360
very west of the border in China.

837
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:21,360
Yeah, that is a fair statement.

838
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,360
He's not wrong. Look, we call China the east

839
01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:29,360
you know, the far east, but relative to what? I say

840
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,360
we make North America the prime meridian.

841
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,360
Wow. Yeah, that's right. So China's the west now. So you're

842
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,360
raising. Europe is the east. Trump was like, no, it's the Gulf of America

843
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:45,360
and you're like, well, yeah, I will raise the chips in this game. Yeah, let's

844
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,360
go.

845
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:53,360
Oh boy. Destitute Radium says it's a bit of a rough time to be involved in

846
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,360
keyboard group buys. Yeah, because by the time it, by the time it gets delivered,

847
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:01,360
you'll have no idea what the thing costs.

848
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,360
Yikes. Dude, this is,

849
01:08:05,360 --> 01:08:09,360
this is just, it's chaos basically. It's, it's

850
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,360
sowing chaos and. Someone in China said their Vancouver based company already

851
01:08:13,360 --> 01:08:17,360
did layoffs because of all this. Really? Just like immediate reaction.

852
01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:21,360
I am extremely sorry to hear that. I'm not

853
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:25,360
incredibly surprised, but I'm sorry to hear that. I do have to say that I

854
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,360
suspect that part of that might have been something else going on already.

855
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:33,360
There might have been a convenient situation. This might, yeah, this might

856
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:37,360
be a bit of a scapegoat because as someone who happens to run

857
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:41,360
a business shipping, you know, manufactured goods,

858
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:45,360
I mean, I don't remember what percentage of our customer base is in the

859
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:49,360
US, but it's a big chance. A lot. Yeah, it's I think it's over 50%.

860
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:53,360
I think not by a huge amount, but I think that's correct.

861
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,360
We have only really seen an impact on order volumes over like the last four days.

862
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:01,360
So if your company saw an impact on orders

863
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:05,360
over the last four days and already let a bunch of people go,

864
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:09,360
I would say that's kind of suspect. However, however, if

865
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:13,360
your, if your shipments are more based on contracts

866
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:17,360
and so you're doing volume

867
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:21,360
B2B over the border into the states, then

868
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,360
I could see this kind of uncertainty causing you to preemptively

869
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:29,360
cut expenses. Especially if you operate with almost exclusively American customers, which

870
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:33,360
does happen in Canada. And who may have called you immediately

871
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:37,360
when they saw these tariffs and go, sorry, brother, we're done. Yeah, we're

872
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:41,360
we're we're we're we're we're cancelling our orders for the rest of the year. So that

873
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:45,360
is a possibility. However, if you're B2C business to consumer,

874
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,360
then that raises some red flags for me less likely. Yeah.

875
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:53,360
All right. What else do we want to talk about? That was it. That was, we got through that

876
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,360
pretty quick. A similar thing does happen, though, like a lot of the return to office

877
01:09:57,360 --> 01:10:01,360
stuff has been revealed to be

878
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:05,360
basically just trimming head count because they wanted to trim head. Oh, 100%.

879
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:09,360
Yeah, 100%. That totally makes sense. Yeah. All right.

880
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:13,360
Back to standard topics. Should we jump into the, what should we

881
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,360
jump into? What's different

882
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:21,360
on this framework thing? Ready to risk it all

883
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:25,360
this topic? I don't know. Framework, insert disclosure. I'm just going to

884
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:29,360
read this. I think it'll be fine. I'm personally invested in framework.

885
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:33,360
Insert disclosure about how Linus has invested his personal monies into the company. Cool.

886
01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:37,360
We did it. They're cool. Framework has made a risk five

887
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:41,360
mainboard, which is compatible with the framework 13 laptop. It features

888
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:45,360
the Star 5 GH7 110 processor, which

889
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:49,360
has four sci-fi, as I think the way you're supposed to say that,

890
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:53,360
use 74 cores. The board comes with eight gigs of

891
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:57,360
LPDDR4 soldered memory and uses microSD slash

892
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:01,360
emcc storage. It's available for 200

893
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:05,360
freedom dollars. For now. For now. That, to be clear, is

894
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:09,360
the main board. Meaning you could build something out of this yourself

895
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:13,360
because I believe there are compatible, yeah, compatible chassis, the framework 13 laptop chassis.

896
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,360
So you would have to buy other stuff around this if you wanted to turn this into a laptop.

897
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,360
Or you could hook it in the Cooler Master mainboard case. Sick. Or you could do that.

898
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:25,360
Or you could just 3D print a case for it. You don't have to do the other bit.

899
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:29,360
Wait, hold on. 200 freedom dollars. Oh, that's Canadian.

900
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:33,360
That's fun. That's very fun. So there's a couple things to note.

901
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:37,360
It was built in collaboration with Deep Computing and this is

902
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,360
very much a developer focused board to help accelerate maturing

903
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,360
the software ecosystem around risk 5. We recommend

904
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,360
waiting for future products if you're looking for a consumer ready

905
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:53,360
experience. It's so cool though. And some people pointed out that this was announced a long time ago.

906
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:57,360
That is true. I think the reason why we're talking about it is because you can buy it. That's right. It's here.

907
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:01,360
It's a real product. It sounds so cool. I

908
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,360
have zero regrets about investing in framework. Sick. I have

909
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:09,360
no idea what my stake is worth. Narev offered

910
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:13,360
to look it up and tell me. And I was like,

911
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:17,360
sounds like a lot of work. Sounds like something you have

912
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,360
better things to do than. So I literally don't know.

913
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:25,360
But I am really impressed with how the point

914
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:29,360
was to make money off it. With how they have taken additional investment

915
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:33,360
and as far as I can tell have not lost their soul.

916
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:37,360
Yes. That's not necessarily the easiest thing

917
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:41,360
to do. No. Because we don't have experience

918
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:45,360
with that. But if perceptions of even knowing people that have gone through those

919
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:49,360
rounds and hearing the difficulties that they have. The kind of pressure they're under

920
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,360
to turn a profit at any cost. At any cost. Or not even turn

921
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:57,360
a profit to force an increase of user count for whatever

922
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:01,360
reason or to do something that isn't really the thing that they actually wanted.

923
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:05,360
There's a lot of the time the investors you have now are ones that you may rely

924
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:09,360
on again when you do another round of funding. So if you are not

925
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:13,360
listening to them or at least making them feel heard. That could hurt

926
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:17,360
your chances of survival. I am

927
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:21,360
so glad that we've never taken outside money. Every

928
01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:25,360
time I hear stories about it. I'm just like, I have a relative

929
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:29,360
that is currently operating in burning investment

930
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:33,360
capital mode. They're not profitable.

931
01:13:33,360 --> 01:13:37,360
It's like seeing the kind of stress that they're under

932
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:41,360
to reach the next milestone to

933
01:13:41,360 --> 01:13:45,360
show something tangible so that they can do another round so that they

934
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:49,360
can survive a little longer is like

935
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:53,360
terrifying. It's not.

936
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:57,360
We went through similar but more different terrifying things.

937
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,360
100%. There were definitely times when...

938
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:05,360
Lost various opportunities and stuff. But I would take

939
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:09,360
this road again. Definitely.

940
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:13,360
It's not always an option for everybody either. No, and it's not.

941
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:17,360
I think there are cases. They say money is the root of all evil.

942
01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:21,360
I think there's a lot of truth there.

943
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,360
Even good people have been driven to do

944
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,360
the questionable

945
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:33,360
things. If we were on the brink of survival,

946
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,360
I was joking with Luke about Dropcoin again.

947
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:41,360
I saw that stupid What was it?

948
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:45,360
Dropcoin. Its value is going to drop. Yeah.

949
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:49,360
No, that company that came up

950
01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:53,360
rose from the ashes to basically just do a crypto grift. Enron.

951
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:57,360
We were looking at the stupid Enron coin

952
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:01,360
and I was like it's just free

953
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:05,360
money. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. If we were not

954
01:15:05,360 --> 01:15:09,360
morally opposed to this, like... It clearly

955
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:13,360
repeatedly over and over and over

956
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:17,360
and over again works. People just make some

957
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:21,360
complete BS coin thing.

958
01:15:21,360 --> 01:15:25,360
People get ripped off on it and then everyone goes oh my god

959
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,360
how could this have happened and it's like bro

960
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:33,360
can we stop? So tell me this if we were on the brink

961
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:37,360
would you be more receptive if we're on the brink?

962
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:41,360
If I was serious about that, if I was like okay what if we just find a way, because we've talked about this on WAN

963
01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:45,360
show in the past, whether it's like Dropcoin or Linuscoin or I think we've

964
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:49,360
pitched Rugpolecoin as a name for it at some point

965
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:53,360
if we were on the brink because remember it's not just me, it's not just you

966
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:57,360
it's look around every person

967
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:01,360
surrounding you, even him could be

968
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,360
gone if we don't survive. If it was down to our survival, would you consider it?

969
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:07,360
Would you consider the VPN?

970
01:16:09,360 --> 01:16:13,360
With the moral quandary that exists for you because

971
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:17,360
I'll get you guys caught up we pretty much developed

972
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:21,360
a VPN. It was like it was ready to go

973
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:25,360
it was like actually pretty good we killed it, we were proud of it

974
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:29,360
it works well, we kept using it for a little bit we don't use it anymore

975
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:33,360
we killed it because neither Luke nor

976
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:37,360
I were comfortable knowing that

977
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:41,360
at some point we were going to know that someone using the service did some stuff

978
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:45,360
even if it's not logged still happening

979
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:49,360
we could still know there are ways that we could know

980
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:53,360
and we would have to say we don't know. It's also like pretty much guaranteed

981
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:57,360
which was the real kicker for me

982
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:01,360
we talked to a lawyer about it and the lawyer basically said

983
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:05,360
whether you factually know or not

984
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,360
you know because this is what people use this is one of the many things

985
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,360
and there are things that are fine but this is one of the many things

986
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:17,360
that must not save logs yeah, they can still know

987
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:21,360
yeah because you'll still get notices

988
01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:25,360
delivered to you like the

989
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:29,360
encryption might not be able to attach it to you which is probably what you want but

990
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:33,360
that also means that they can attach these things to other people so like you can

991
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:37,360
watch your little show and be protected or whatever

992
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,360
but that other person can look at content that I think

993
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:45,360
you know in my opinion

994
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:49,360
morally right people would be horrifically disgusted about the fact

995
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:53,360
that they looked at and you would know that that's happening on a network that you are supporting

996
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:57,360
and it's like man yeah I don't want to do that so we bailed out but

997
01:17:57,360 --> 01:18:01,360
man we ran the numbers dude

998
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:05,360
this could be a different world so if we were on the brink of survival

999
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,360
knowing that we already exist in a gray area anyway because it's not like

1000
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:13,360
we don't promote PIA our sponsor we just didn't

1001
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:17,360
want to be the ones who actually have to say

1002
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:21,360
no I'm not going to tell you who that is no I went out of my way to delete that

1003
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:25,360
even though I know you know I know people are using it for this

1004
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:29,360
we just didn't want to have to be the ones that had to do it would you reconsider your position

1005
01:18:29,360 --> 01:18:31,360
if it meant survival

1006
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,360
I

1007
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:47,360
he's thinking he's doing a think over here

1008
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:51,360
I feel like on the VPN it's a maybe

1009
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,360
just because

1010
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:59,360
it's not like we're making it more accessible

1011
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:03,360
for those people there are so many out there

1012
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,360
that is such a slippery slope that is a very slippery slope

1013
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,360
someone's got to provide the heroin

1014
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:15,360
someone's going to do it I'm just thinking like do we add

1015
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:19,360
another VPN to the pile and save 100 plus jobs

1016
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:23,360
like this is the scenario you're trying to lay out for me do we just

1017
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:27,360
I'm reiterating it for the people in chat do we add another VPN to the pile and save 100 plus jobs

1018
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:31,360
or do we not do we think PSU circuit is like

1019
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:35,360
net good in the world we're using it to buy

1020
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,360
carbon net good credits or whatever

1021
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:43,360
if we're using it to buy carbon credits I know what you mean

1022
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:47,360
net good credits so that we can run our VPN

1023
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:51,360
or whatever the world is morally

1024
01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:55,360
questionable and morally gray

1025
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:59,360
and I guess I'm not even necessarily looking for an answer from you

1026
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:03,360
I think my problem with the coin thing is it is

1027
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,360
every time this happens that people just

1028
01:20:07,360 --> 01:20:11,360
will never figure it out so then

1029
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,360
someone's going to make money off them

1030
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:19,360
but I think that's different I genuinely think it's different

1031
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:23,360
because I don't think there is a like what is the possible benefit

1032
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:27,360
of making another I don't feel like pressing the button

1033
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:31,360
another crap coin oh the possible benefit is gambling

1034
01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:35,360
like topgear1224 on the floor playing chat says

1035
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:39,360
the reason these cryptocurrency scams continued to perform is simple

1036
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:43,360
I bought over a thousand dollars of doge when it was 0.0002

1037
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,360
I sold at 0.001 if I held until

1038
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:53,360
0.75 multi-millionaire

1039
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:57,360
it's that chance that drives people to gamble hard

1040
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:01,360
that's it it's that simple

1041
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:05,360
important reminder call this is hypothetical man I don't disagree

1042
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:09,360
with you Bixby we probably should say yet again that this is hypothetical

1043
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:13,360
but I would also appreciate if people just f***

1044
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:17,360
relaxed it's so obvious you're not wrong

1045
01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:21,360
you're not wrong at all that was a good call out I should have just done that thank you I appreciate it

1046
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:25,360
but I really wish you weren't right it's ridiculous I'm so

1047
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:29,360
tired what are you saying you don't want to be like

1048
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:33,360
cancelled again just like to chill for one week

1049
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:39,360
I got like anxiety because

1050
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:43,360
it was Friday morning

1051
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:47,360
and I was like when's the world gonna fall

1052
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:51,360
the world hasn't started falling yet I need to be stopping

1053
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:55,360
the world from falling how do I do that if I don't know what's happening and then

1054
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:59,360
oh you just needed to be briefed on all the tariff stuff then you would have known the world was falling

1055
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:03,360
yeah fair enough yeah I guess it's just a different no no we were at the point where it looked like

1056
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:07,360
in order for us to ship into the states and it is a really

1057
01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:11,360
good thing that we delayed our shipments that we stopped

1058
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:15,360
pushing out the door because if we had you would have been hit by that because the exemption wasn't

1059
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:19,360
through yet or whatever I don't think anyone knows exactly how it would

1060
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:23,360
have gone sure but basically by holding on to them

1061
01:22:23,360 --> 01:22:27,360
until the de minimis exemption was restored earlier today

1062
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:31,360
we know as they're going out that everything's chill

1063
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:35,360
but looking at the worst case scenario goods that we were shipping into the states

1064
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:39,360
we could have essentially had our entire margin on them wiped out

1065
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:43,360
or you guys could have seen retail prices

1066
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:47,360
as high as I believe the numbers they were throwing around at me was like 35 to 40%

1067
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:51,360
higher or something like that like like

1068
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:55,360
because of the stacking because of the tariff from China

1069
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:59,360
than the tariff from us and the de minimis going away not quite like that but basically

1070
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:03,360
yeah multiple factors stacking on top of each other really yikes

1071
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,360
and to add another thing to the coin conversation

1072
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:11,360
sure I think it was I think I was telling you about this yesterday I've heard

1073
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:15,360
I'm gonna screw up the quote so I apologize but I've heard a quote from coffee zilla

1074
01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:19,360
that is something along the lines of like ironically scamming people is still scamming people

1075
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:23,360
crazy pitch and you know this is coming because we've talked about it already

1076
01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:27,360
oh no what if we collaborated with coffee zilla

1077
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:31,360
on the most ethical coin how do we how do we

1078
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:35,360
possibly make an ethical does I do wonder like is there

1079
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:39,360
a line there like can you make because I pointed out to Linus Linus

1080
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:43,360
had never heard of this I pointed this out to Linus I said scam me daddy

1081
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:47,360
well I pointed out fart coin yeah do you mind if I throw up your laptop

1082
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:51,360
I'm still loading it but sure what's down 7%

1083
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:55,360
24 hours yeah

1084
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:59,360
and like I've heard people talk about this for a long time

1085
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,360
I am really not into crypto stuff I have no idea what I'm talking about

1086
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:07,360
I own zero crypto right now so to make of that what you will

1087
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:11,360
yeah so we are we are just coming at this as ignorant

1088
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:15,360
be mused observers right now yes we know nothing

1089
01:24:15,360 --> 01:24:19,360
but like I this has been around for like a long time

1090
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,360
this isn't new can I get a bit oh here we go

1091
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:27,360
let's go back like a month look people have been actively trading this

1092
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:31,360
let's go back a year yeah do you have the little green and red line thing is that

1093
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:35,360
just down below I'm showing the trading volume okay not on this one you're thinking of candlesticks

1094
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:39,360
perfect yes perfect example of we don't know what we're talking about

1095
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:43,360
yeah yeah but like people actively trade these these

1096
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,360
coin things um so like can you make one

1097
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:51,360
that is just that is fine completely transparently a

1098
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:55,360
coin yeah that might rise and fall maybe you

1099
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:59,360
can I don't know I don't know I don't know people coffee so it would know

1100
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:03,360
probably I yes have we actually talked to him I know we've talked

1101
01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:07,360
of him and he's made videos about us and we bought a shirt

1102
01:25:07,360 --> 01:25:11,360
I don't think so I don't think we have I suspect his answer is going

1103
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,360
like no well that's the safest answer for like his brand

1104
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:19,360
regardless of whether he actually thinks there's a way to do it because he's been so publicly

1105
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:23,360
against them we could never get him to like endorse it oh no no way

1106
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:27,360
I wouldn't yet I would never ask of course not but I do wonder if there's

1107
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:31,360
if maybe the guidance isn't even for us right maybe the guidance is just

1108
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:35,360
out there because it could also be used as like if this new coin

1109
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:39,360
that shows up does not align with this guidance avoid it

1110
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:43,360
interesting I would watch that

1111
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:47,360
video I would watch it too I would watch coffee talk about what

1112
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:51,360
the ethical ICO would look like if there

1113
01:25:51,360 --> 01:25:55,360
even is one if there could be one because I feel like there might not be what would a theoretical

1114
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:59,360
I don't know anything about ethical ICO look like because I can definitely think

1115
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:03,360
of actually valid and valuable you know

1116
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:07,360
blockchain applications even a token right like if we were gonna do that

1117
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:11,360
though like you okay say for example we were to

1118
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:15,360
I don't know create a token where if

1119
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:19,360
you watch okay there'd be technological

1120
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:23,360
hurdles that we probably couldn't clear but I'm telling you so this is the

1121
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:27,360
theory so we made a token that if you watch more hours

1122
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,360
on Floatplane or interact a lot or something

1123
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:35,360
then you earn the token and you can use it for a discount on LTC

1124
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:39,360
I also don't use twitch a lot so now we're talking about two things so it's almost like an attention

1125
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:43,360
token which would be somewhat similar to what like brave browser does so that's a

1126
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:47,360
thing on twitch as far as my understanding goes and people are gonna say I'm wrong because I

1127
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:51,360
have no idea what I'm talking about which is true but I think I think if you watch streamers

1128
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:55,360
on twitch you can gain these certain types of points and you can oh bits this is just

1129
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:59,360
which I don't think it's bits is it not but what are bit channel points channel

1130
01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:03,360
points okay because then you can exchange those for like

1131
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:07,360
I don't know do you know stuff emotes you can

1132
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:11,360
do text to speech stuff it really depends on what the streamer sets up bits are like

1133
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:15,360
micro tips so it's it's set up by the streamer so you could you could exchange it for things

1134
01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:19,360
this doesn't fix the rug pool that I think you guys are talking about

1135
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:23,360
which is where you launching the coin own most of the float and then

1136
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:27,360
can just dump it and manipulate float is that the initial amount

1137
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:31,360
okay you know the us treasury has knowledge us treasury

1138
01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:35,360
holds so much money in circulation in the economy yes and when they print

1139
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:39,360
more money the value of the money goes down yes so if you guys launch a coin

1140
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:43,360
and there is one million coins in circulation yes and you release

1141
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:47,360
20 to the public to buy and we hold and then you just sell

1142
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:51,360
a bunch yes when it's high and then the market implodes

1143
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:55,360
so that's my rough understanding please correct me if I'm wrong so

1144
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,360
with an ethical ICO it called it's just launching a normal

1145
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:03,360
coin yeah you would just be launching a coin and it would just be crappy

1146
01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:07,360
so most of them but an ethical ICO would would initially

1147
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:11,360
offer the entire supply and I would keep none for myself

1148
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:15,360
you need to be able to prove that though oh I see I don't know if that's possible

1149
01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:19,360
that's above my understanding shouldn't that be possible I don't

1150
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:23,360
know I don't know Dan is correct says top gear

1151
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:27,360
yeah please correct me if I'm wrong I'm not right I'm not entirely sure

1152
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:31,360
if this is completely accurate things might have changed but this is my understanding

1153
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:35,360
of how coins work and so a lot of the rug pulls are basically yeah

1154
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:39,360
we don't own anything jk actually

1155
01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:43,360
we have 10,000 old wallets I thought you can tell how much

1156
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:47,360
they have as a float I think they can state but then they could

1157
01:28:47,360 --> 01:28:51,360
also potentially have I don't know I have no idea what I'm talking about

1158
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,360
yeah it's very very difficult especially because

1159
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:59,360
you know blockchain is a concept and you know

1160
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:03,360
each coin has its own ledger right

1161
01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:07,360
that's another thing where if you did decide to if you if you decided that you found a way

1162
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:11,360
to do this ethically and you decided to do it we'd need a significantly better understanding

1163
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:15,360
of what we're doing oh 100% I think being ethical is just

1164
01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:19,360
you know not manipulating the stock price or the

1165
01:29:19,360 --> 01:29:23,360
the coin price of your coin we would also need a way to prove that we didn't

1166
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:27,360
yeah I don't know if that's possible I don't know enough about

1167
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:31,360
how the initial float is like

1168
01:29:31,360 --> 01:29:34,360
distributed because you'd have to like

1169
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:38,360
Aeraldo says depending on the blockchain tech but yes you can absolutely prove

1170
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:42,360
who owns what on the chain at launch oh good then just do that

1171
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:46,360
so if we do that it's ethical but then if you do that what's the point

1172
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:50,360
well then you rug pull it because you told them that you're gonna do that so Linus owns

1173
01:29:50,360 --> 01:29:54,360
a million coins and then you you put 10 up for sale

1174
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:58,360
I have a million and here's 10 and then people trade them

1175
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:02,360
and then you pull it anyway because that's what you said you were gonna do that would be ethical

1176
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:06,360
because you explained that you were gonna I don't think so I think it's back to

1177
01:30:06,360 --> 01:30:10,360
coffee zilla's point telling someone you're gonna scam them or like getting scammed

1178
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:14,360
for lulls is still getting scammed it depends on what you think is ethical

1179
01:30:14,360 --> 01:30:18,360
because if you just want to launch a real coin is that

1180
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:22,360
technically ethical I mean we have the concern of all the power usage and I

1181
01:30:22,360 --> 01:30:26,360
think we would have to I think we would have to have a valid use case

1182
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:30,360
for the coin I think we would have to have a real purpose

1183
01:30:30,360 --> 01:30:34,360
but then it's not a shit coin is that right well I mean

1184
01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:38,360
what is that technology really that means that it's like a alt coin

1185
01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:42,360
that's not a theory of or like one of the big ones anyways like some

1186
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:46,360
random garbage thing that may be a legitimate coin but nobody really

1187
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:50,360
uses it for anything and it's mostly just you know crypto bro trading garbage I don't

1188
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:54,360
know I you can make a lot of money with those like a lot of money with oh dude I

1189
01:30:54,360 --> 01:30:58,360
know you can also lose a lot of money on them yeah like my 350

1190
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:02,360
bitcoin which are somewhere I mean we've talked about that a lot yeah somewhere sorry

1191
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:06,360
Dan that's okay I I sleep at night now

1192
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:10,360
far coin is he doesn't say well I sleep now yeah

1193
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:14,360
no I've been doing this in 2009 far coins down 60% in the last month

1194
01:31:14,360 --> 01:31:18,360
whoops yeah well this is the thing you know if you're talking about your

1195
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:22,360
investment pyramid your crypto stuff is like up here

1196
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:26,360
where you maybe put 500 bucks in and the bottom is just like banks

1197
01:31:26,360 --> 01:31:30,360
right yeah it's it's the highest controllers the highest risk

1198
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:32,360
investment that you could possibly

1199
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:38,360
someone in the pre-show pointed out that my my gold xbox

1200
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:42,360
controller has gone up by what do you say like 80 85% or something since I bought it

1201
01:31:42,360 --> 01:31:46,360
pretty much yeah I'm not necessarily

1202
01:31:46,360 --> 01:31:48,360
convinced at this time that there is

1203
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:54,360
an ethical way to launch one of these unless you give it good proper utility

1204
01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:58,360
what if the utility was

1205
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:02,360
and even then I don't know enough to really say but I feel like that's aiming

1206
01:32:02,360 --> 01:32:06,360
in the right direction what if you could redeem drop coin for

1207
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:10,360
a for early access to products on LTT Store

1208
01:32:10,360 --> 01:32:14,360
if you could use it to buy stuff on LTT Store then you would assign an actual

1209
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:18,360
monetary value to it and it would be pegged against the US dollar but oh don't

1210
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:22,360
start talking you're not talking about like tether and stuff now are you tether is

1211
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:26,360
what real currency forex is and all coins are technically tied to tether

1212
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:30,360
didn't know but didn't the whole tether thing blow up at some point

1213
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:34,360
I don't know or is tether still not money is fake

1214
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:38,360
money is a concept anything that has a potential value

1215
01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:42,360
like your gold controller is technically currency

1216
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:46,360
what about eggs now that's an investment these days

1217
01:32:46,360 --> 01:32:48,360
egg controller let's go

1218
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:54,360
sticky oh boy egg

1219
01:32:54,360 --> 01:32:58,360
egg coin yeah sure what are we supposed to be talking about at this point

1220
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:02,360
I don't know why don't we do some merch messages sure sure sure sure sure

1221
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:06,360

1239
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:20,360
oh man I didn't even write the handbook okay

1240
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:24,360
I've never read it that was too real man

1241
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:28,360
cool now I can start putting plugs in the wancho to be clear someone has

1242
01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:32,360
read I'm pretty sure that's all included

1243
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:36,360
okay what are merch messages Linus

1244
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:40,360
I think you did the announcement yeah merch messages are the way to interact

1245
01:34:40,360 --> 01:34:44,360
with the show and if you've ever wanted to know if it's a good week to

1246
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:48,360
send a merch message this is a good week to send a merch message

1247
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:52,360
you might want to pick up a commuter backpack like now

1248
01:34:52,360 --> 01:34:56,360
if you want to get one because we have no idea what is going on with tariffs

1249
01:34:56,360 --> 01:35:00,360
and trade wars and all of that beyond the next very short

1250
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:04,360
period of time and over the next very short period of time

1251
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:08,360
our warehouse is running over time to get as many orders out as possible

1252
01:35:08,360 --> 01:35:12,360
that's why we didn't launch anything this week because we're working to clear out the backlog

1253
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:16,360
so get an order in for a commuter bag or anything else you like on LTTstore.com

1254
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:20,360
and while you're at it in the cart there will be a message or a box

1255
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:24,360
to send a merch message that's how you interact with the show it'll go to producer Dan

1256
01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:28,360
who will pop it up down there or who will reply to it with his little fingies

1257
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:32,360
or who will curate it for me and Luke to address

1258
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:36,360
Dan why don't we show the people how it works Sure

1259
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:40,360
this one here's from Jacob Planning to order the big LTT backpack

1260
01:35:40,360 --> 01:35:44,360
but was curious is there a version 2 of it coming soon

1261
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:48,360
is it best to hold off? We would love to revise

1262
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:52,360
the OG backpack at some point but what I will say is that

1263
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:56,360
currently we are not even at the design stage of a revision

1264
01:35:56,360 --> 01:36:00,360
so we haven't drawn it

1265
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:04,360
we haven't sampled anything so with that said

1266
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:08,360
it will be at least 6 months away probably more

1267
01:36:10,360 --> 01:36:14,360
Product development, it takes time 2.5 years

1268
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:18,360
That was only the screwdriver that was just that one thing

1269
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:22,360
6 months plus 2.5 years that you give

1270
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:28,360
Was the badminton center opening? Oh, Dan's wrong

1271
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:32,360
all the courts are in It's open

1272
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:36,360
It had an official launch? I mean it's open

1273
01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:40,360
People can buy memberships right now we have between play memberships

1274
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:44,360
and premium memberships we have over 500 members The gym's not done, does that still count?

1275
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:48,360
What do you mean the gym's not done? We're waiting on like 2.5 pound weights

1276
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:52,360
Yeah, people are using it Nothing's ever done

1277
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:56,360
Yeah, they love it Actually I've gotten a lot of

1278
01:36:56,360 --> 01:37:00,360
really good feedback on the gym Luke helped consult on the gym at Smash Champs

1279
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:04,360
and the reviews are in and people flipping

1280
01:37:04,360 --> 01:37:08,360
love the gym That's good, I'm happy to hear that

1281
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:12,360
There was some things I was like strong

1282
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:16,360
strong-arming and I was like I don't know

1283
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:20,360
I was like I feel pretty strongly about this but we'll see what other people think

1284
01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:24,360
It's really good I've had people say

1285
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:28,360
it is shockingly real gym

1286
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:32,360
for a racquet sports club

1287
01:37:32,360 --> 01:37:36,360
If someone told me there was a gym upstairs at a racquet sports club

1288
01:37:36,360 --> 01:37:40,360
I'd be like okay there's like a treadmill

1289
01:37:40,360 --> 01:37:44,360
and a couple random assorted dumbbells in the corner

1290
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:48,360
maybe an exercise ball but then we have like an actual

1291
01:37:48,360 --> 01:37:52,360
real one Do you watch fitness youtubers and then named some?

1292
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:56,360
Yes, I do, both of those actually and many others

1293
01:37:56,360 --> 01:38:00,360
Here, let me Let me see if there's

1294
01:38:00,360 --> 01:38:04,360
do we have any pictures on the Facebook page That's kind of where we post our stuff

1295
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:08,360
Dan was closer than you were Oh, 100%

1296
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:12,360
I still feel like I'm right but I can't say why 100%

1297
01:38:12,360 --> 01:38:16,360
Luke knows why and I've been smiling all weekend

1298
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:20,360
It's changed a fair bit since then

1299
01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:24,360
So don't bother commenting like too much about it There's a couple more

1300
01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:28,360
cardio machines and all of this stuff

1301
01:38:28,360 --> 01:38:32,360
is like completely shuffled around That picture makes it actually kind of hard to see

1302
01:38:32,360 --> 01:38:36,360
some of the equipment That's not a great picture

1303
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:40,360
Dan, hit me again I'm over it

1304
01:38:40,360 --> 01:38:44,360
As a fellow ADHDer this phrase of yours hits close

1305
01:38:44,360 --> 01:38:48,360
but I often feel guilty admitting I've lost interest in X

1306
01:38:48,360 --> 01:38:52,360
be it just after three minutes, an hour, or a month ever felt similar

1307
01:38:52,360 --> 01:38:54,360
I did but now I'm over it

1308
01:38:56,360 --> 01:39:00,360
I have as I have had

1309
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:04,360
less and less time in my life

1310
01:39:04,360 --> 01:39:08,360
I have more and more embraced clear, honest communication

1311
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:12,360
Luke has experienced this numerous times

1312
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:16,360
where we're like hanging out on the couch

1313
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:20,360
or standing, chatting

1314
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:24,360
at the door as he's leaving I'm just like, I'm tired

1315
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:26,360
and I need to go to bed now

1316
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:32,360
Which is completely fine to be honest

1317
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:36,360
Because people don't know when a conversation's over They don't know when to leave your house

1318
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:40,360
They don't know if what they're talking about

1319
01:39:40,360 --> 01:39:44,360
is a mutually interesting subject

1320
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:48,360
Unless you tell them When you're a kid, it's easy

1321
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:52,360
My mom's going to pick me up at nine or whatever It's like, okay, I leave at nine

1322
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:56,360
Especially with people that you have frequently stayed up until

1323
01:39:56,360 --> 01:40:00,360
ridiculous hours with Now it's like, I don't know

1324
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,360
Who knows where the line is You just lay out your lines

1325
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:08,360
And really for me, it's about saving

1326
01:40:08,360 --> 01:40:12,360
effort and brain space for the other person as well

1327
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:16,360
I don't even think about it I asked Yvonne something the other day

1328
01:40:16,360 --> 01:40:20,360
It was to do with cash burn rate on

1329
01:40:20,360 --> 01:40:24,360
some endeavor or other and she goes, oh, well, I would have to

1330
01:40:24,360 --> 01:40:28,360
check in with the accounting department and then I would have to check in with the manager

1331
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:32,360
and I'd have to do this and I'm like, I'm over it Sometimes

1332
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:36,360
It's not even my disinterest It's a matter of me weighing

1333
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:40,360
That's a lot of your time My level of interest against the amount of

1334
01:40:40,360 --> 01:40:44,360
effort that you are telegraphing will be involved in it

1335
01:40:44,360 --> 01:40:48,360
And so If anything, I'm trying to do that more

1336
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:52,360
I don't take offense by it at all Some people don't get it, though

1337
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:56,360
They think that I'm just trying to be nice or something

1338
01:40:56,360 --> 01:41:00,360
But for me, it really is about clear and direct communication

1339
01:41:00,360 --> 01:41:04,360
When I say I'm over it, I mean do not burn a single

1340
01:41:04,360 --> 01:41:08,360
additional cycle on this Give it no more thought

1341
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:12,360
because I won't And I'm the one who asked

1342
01:41:12,360 --> 01:41:16,360
And one of the ways too is if you're someone's employee

1343
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:20,360
and you're receiving that type of communication they are clearly communicating that

1344
01:41:20,360 --> 01:41:24,360
they do not value you spending your time on that

1345
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:28,360
which is not good You know?

1346
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:32,360
So keep that in mind They don't want to waste your time

1347
01:41:32,360 --> 01:41:36,360
working on that, so if you go and then do that then it will very likely be seen

1348
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:40,360
as a negative thing, not a positive thing I actually get

1349
01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:44,360
probably more frustrated than I should

1350
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:48,360
I think that's true When I say

1351
01:41:48,360 --> 01:41:52,360
I had something a little while ago where I was like

1352
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:56,360
Hey, I forgot X in place Y

1353
01:41:56,360 --> 01:42:00,360
If person A happens to be going by there

1354
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:04,360
could they grab it for me otherwise

1355
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:08,360
do nothing And they'll go way out of their way

1356
01:42:08,360 --> 01:42:12,360
And I had multiple people reach out with these

1357
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:16,360
roundabout plans for how they were going to reunite me with

1358
01:42:16,360 --> 01:42:20,360
item X from location Y when person A was not

1359
01:42:20,360 --> 01:42:24,360
going to go by I'm like

1360
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:26,360
I proactively

1361
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:32,360
For the sake of complete clarity said if condition A

1362
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:36,360
is not met take no action

1363
01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:42,360
You ignored my explicit instructions which is now

1364
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:46,360
costing me additional time and brain cycles

1365
01:42:46,360 --> 01:42:50,360
mitigating the wheels that are now in action

1366
01:42:50,360 --> 01:42:54,360
to take these actions that I didn't want

1367
01:42:54,360 --> 01:42:56,360
and I explicitly said I didn't want

1368
01:42:58,360 --> 01:43:02,360
Please don't If I say don't do something

1369
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:06,360
please never do it But you know what's frustrating

1370
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:10,360
and this is why I acknowledge that I get

1371
01:43:10,360 --> 01:43:14,360
sort of irrationally frustrated by it because so many people

1372
01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:18,360
are not like me and do say

1373
01:43:18,360 --> 01:43:22,360
Oh, don't worry about it but what they really want

1374
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:26,360
is for you to show how much you care and how you're willing to do it anyway

1375
01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:30,360
And that's super annoying but what you're doing is kind of like the opposite of that

1376
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:34,360
just being more open which

1377
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:38,360
But tonality is hard especially in text

1378
01:43:38,360 --> 01:43:42,360
and depending on people's relationships in the past

1379
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:46,360
they can perceive someone's actions a completely different way

1380
01:43:46,360 --> 01:43:50,360
through a completely different colored lens depending

1381
01:43:50,360 --> 01:43:54,360
on those experiences so the exact same words

1382
01:43:54,360 --> 01:43:58,360
coming from two different people can mean the exact same thing

1383
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:02,360
when I say those words I mean do not take this action

1384
01:44:02,360 --> 01:44:06,360
when someone else says those exact same words they can mean show me how much you love me

1385
01:44:06,360 --> 01:44:10,360
by taking this action even though I told you it's okay

1386
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:14,360
and so people get this completely different interpretation and that's something that we just have to deal with

1387
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:18,360
and so recognize that it is something

1388
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:22,360
that I get irrationally frustrated about and so I try to be

1389
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:26,360
I go out of my way to try to be more patient

1390
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:30,360
about it but I know that what I'm feeling is not

1391
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:34,360
rational but it doesn't change that I feel it

1392
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:38,360
because I've had that conversation 500 times

1393
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:42,360
not with that person but 500 times total

1394
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:46,360
and that's the baggage that I bring to the situation I had

1395
01:44:46,360 --> 01:44:50,360
I've told you this I've told a bunch of other people this too

1396
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:54,360
I use chat GPT often for communication but I don't use it to write my communication

1397
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:58,360
I use it to get feedback on my communication so I'll like

1398
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:02,360
send a message or an email or something that I would be sending out to chat GPT

1399
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:06,360
and I ask it for a sentiment analysis and sometimes I'll give it more prompting

1400
01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:08,360
but more or less I'm doing a sentiment analysis

1401
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:14,360
and I have one on the lab team

1402
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:18,360
I keep them anonymous that I was going to send an angry email

1403
01:45:18,360 --> 01:45:22,360
to another company that I will also not name because I was like

1404
01:45:22,360 --> 01:45:26,360
fairly enraged about a thing that was happening NVIDIA

1405
01:45:26,360 --> 01:45:30,360
I actually don't know I'm just

1406
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:34,360
I think he'll laugh regardless so it should be fine yeah

1407
01:45:34,360 --> 01:45:38,360
and then and I said I was like sending it right now

1408
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:42,360
and they were going to be CC'd on it and then it didn't come out for a while

1409
01:45:42,360 --> 01:45:46,360
and then like a few hours later it finally came out because

1410
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:50,360
I wrote it up and then didn't press send and read it myself

1411
01:45:50,360 --> 01:45:54,360
and was like and I

1412
01:45:54,360 --> 01:45:58,360
I cut the email out I went and worked on something else for a while

1413
01:45:58,360 --> 01:46:02,360
let myself just like kind of chill for a little bit and then I rewrote it again

1414
01:46:02,360 --> 01:46:06,360
and then I put it into chat GPT and I was like

1415
01:46:06,360 --> 01:46:10,360
still angry let me keep working on this for a second

1416
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:14,360
and then I finally sent one out and a little while later they sent me a message

1417
01:46:14,360 --> 01:46:18,360
and they were like that was a lot more chill than I expected and I was like yeah

1418
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:26,360
yeah I just had to reframe that a little bit

1419
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:30,360
I don't know I think I'm in my zero f***s given phase and I just like kind of write angry

1420
01:46:30,360 --> 01:46:34,360
emails when I'm really angry I still do that sometimes yeah depends on the

1421
01:46:34,360 --> 01:46:38,360
scenario depends on how understandable

1422
01:46:38,360 --> 01:46:42,360
the situation is because in this one I was very frustrated

1423
01:46:42,360 --> 01:46:46,360
because of the impact on our side I understood how it could

1424
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:50,360
have been going that way from their side but yeah it also depends on

1425
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:54,360
whether the person you're talking to had any control of the situation

1426
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:58,360
yes and this person I feel like did have a lot of care

1427
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:02,360
and was trying to get things fixed so like raging at them was genuinely

1428
01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:06,360
not going to be helpful to anyone it was really a malicious action

1429
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:10,360
and that person has a high degree of control over the situation

1430
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:14,360
my patience is a lot lower absolutely

1431
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:18,360
yeah yeah

1432
01:47:18,360 --> 01:47:22,360
okay how about Luke being really angry is unsettling

1433
01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:26,360
the Channel Super Fun when it was unleashed what channel

1434
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:28,360
super fun

1435
01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:34,360
ooh I'm not sure I've only on camera that many times

1436
01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:36,360
there's a hike

1437
01:47:40,360 --> 01:47:44,360
yeah there's that one oh that is the Channel Super Fun that you guys are talking about

1438
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:48,360
no that's not a Channel Super Fun though I don't know what they're talking about

1439
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:52,360
this is the face of a man who is

1440
01:47:52,360 --> 01:47:56,360
extremely put out yeah

1441
01:47:56,360 --> 01:47:58,360
it is fine

1442
01:48:02,360 --> 01:48:06,360
I genuinely don't know what Channel Super Fun is talking about though ah there was the time you like

1443
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:10,360
chased me and pretended to be angry I wasn't actually mad

1444
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:14,360
and I wasn't actually fearful it was just really funny

1445
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:18,360
it was fun oh when they robbed the Langley house

1446
01:48:18,360 --> 01:48:22,360
yeah I was in that though you were in on that one sorry sorry

1447
01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:26,360
no it was Berkel who was extremely angry yeah and I was feeding off that energy

1448
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:30,360
I ran with him I remember so what you guys didn't know at that time

1449
01:48:30,360 --> 01:48:34,360
was he was out downstairs so I couldn't have pulled off

1450
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:38,360
the prank without him being an accomplice yeah and if I remember correctly

1451
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:42,360
Berkel had this inkling that they were trying to flee

1452
01:48:42,360 --> 01:48:46,360
out of like the downstairs so he like ran he didn't have an inkling he saw

1453
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:50,360
oh right yeah we had because one other member of the team

1454
01:48:50,360 --> 01:48:54,360
was also in on it who's not who's not on the team anymore

1455
01:48:54,360 --> 01:48:58,360
but they were in on it and they played the role of like the robber

1456
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:02,360
with like a thing pulled over their face so that no one would recognize them

1457
01:49:02,360 --> 01:49:06,360
and like booked it out the back of the house so Berkel went to go like

1458
01:49:06,360 --> 01:49:10,360
chase after them and I was just that energy was awesome

1459
01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:14,360
so I just went with him but we went through like my area and it's

1460
01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:18,360
I had to like open doors from his stuff and I was like oh let's go and I was totally with it

1461
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:22,360
dude I fear for anyone he would have caught

1462
01:49:22,360 --> 01:49:26,360
yeah Berkel was ready to go well you know he punched me at the end right

1463
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:30,360
I don't remember that it was only in the ARM but it was like

1464
01:49:30,360 --> 01:49:34,360
not soft yeah I think he just

1465
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:38,360
needed to get that energy out probably and you know what I don't even begrudge

1466
01:49:38,360 --> 01:49:42,360
the guy like it hurt but like

1467
01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:48,360
I ironed it that's funny

1468
01:49:48,360 --> 01:49:52,360
yeah oh man okay

1469
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:54,360
crazy thought

1470
01:49:55,360 --> 01:49:59,360
when would be the right time to do an LMG reunion

1471
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:04,360
I don't even mean like public like you guys wouldn't get a video about it or anything

1472
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:08,360
that'd be weird it's a lot of people now it's a ton we've been operating

1473
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:12,360
for long time 12 years yeah

1474
01:50:12,360 --> 01:50:16,360
yeah it's crazy some of the group for longer but the company

1475
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:20,360
LMG 12 years yeah when would be the right time and to be clear

1476
01:50:20,360 --> 01:50:24,360
20 I'm talking about I'm talking about

1477
01:50:24,360 --> 01:50:28,360
like zero held back invitations literally everyone

1478
01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:34,360
I mean I'm sure there's some people that wouldn't dare show their face at this point but

1479
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:38,360
I would invite them I would invite them I wouldn't discriminate no

1480
01:50:40,360 --> 01:50:44,360
when would be the right time I don't know

1481
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:48,360
what if someone was an employee and now they are a contractor for us

1482
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:52,360
well no anyone currently at the company would obviously be invited

1483
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,360
okay yeah yeah yeah

1484
01:50:56,360 --> 01:50:58,360
never

1485
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:04,360
I don't know like what's the point what are we gaining from that

1486
01:51:04,360 --> 01:51:08,360
I mean nothing it'd be fun would it I don't know maybe

1487
01:51:08,360 --> 01:51:12,360
I wouldn't mind catching up with people like I some people absolutely yeah well you don't have to

1488
01:51:12,360 --> 01:51:16,360
talk to all of them they might talk to you

1489
01:51:16,360 --> 01:51:20,360
sorry they might talk to you I'm talking about you I'm asking you

1490
01:51:20,360 --> 01:51:24,360
they might talk to me there are definitely people that I would love to

1491
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:28,360
sync up with again but it sounds like there's also people that you wouldn't love to sync up with

1492
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:32,360
so much I think that would be fine I think you could communicate with them directly you could just say I'm done

1493
01:51:32,360 --> 01:51:36,360
with this conversation now thank you I'm tired I'm going to bed

1494
01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:42,360
just leave that is actually what I do though

1495
01:51:42,360 --> 01:51:46,360
yeah yeah yeah I'm really tired good night I'll just leave

1496
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:50,360
I think it's fair just say I'm over it

1497
01:51:50,360 --> 01:51:54,360
just laid out on the ground I don't know if that's a specific reference or not

1498
01:51:54,360 --> 01:51:58,360
but that was the thing that my brother started in our household at one point

1499
01:51:58,360 --> 01:52:02,360
which is at a certain point like you know we were both playing

1500
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:06,360
a lot of sports my brother especially was was big he was into football he worked

1501
01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:10,360
out a lot we were both big and my mom would

1502
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:14,360
like try to get him to do something and he was just laid out on the ground and be like

1503
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:18,360
make me what are you going to do

1504
01:52:18,360 --> 01:52:22,360
because we hit the point we're like we're playing all these

1505
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:26,360
contact sports all the time so like imagine

1506
01:52:26,360 --> 01:52:30,360
you can break your wooden spoon all you want it's not going to do anything

1507
01:52:30,360 --> 01:52:34,360
like literally at all so have fun

1508
01:52:34,360 --> 01:52:38,360
and then you know eventually get up and do it anyways but because mom's cool but like

1509
01:52:40,360 --> 01:52:44,360
yeah yeah that was I don't know if that's a reference to that or not

1510
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:48,360
because I'm pretty sure I've told that story before but for what it's worth Yvonne is also

1511
01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:52,360
proposed also proposed also opposed to the no conditional

1512
01:52:52,360 --> 01:52:56,360
invitation oh yeah it's a terrible idea unconditional invitation reunion

1513
01:52:56,360 --> 01:53:00,360
horrible idea that she said the same thing you did why

1514
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:04,360
what's the point what's the what's the game I don't know what your brother's bigger than you

1515
01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:08,360
uh it's complicated we're very

1516
01:53:08,360 --> 01:53:12,360
different like forms in mass

1517
01:53:12,360 --> 01:53:16,360
I'd say they're fairly similar I think so yeah my brother was always

1518
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:20,360
bigger like stronger he's really fast somehow um

1519
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:24,360
but he was a fullback in football he had way more muscle than me even now he'll come

1520
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:28,360
to the gym I would have to not going to the gym and like forever and just lift crazy weight

1521
01:53:28,360 --> 01:53:32,360
it's ridiculous he was always really really strong and I was generally

1522
01:53:32,360 --> 01:53:36,360
fast we were like built very differently and it was always

1523
01:53:36,360 --> 01:53:40,360
frustrating how fast he was because I was like you're built so differently than me I should be

1524
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:44,360
so much faster than you but compared to how stronger he was compared to me

1525
01:53:44,360 --> 01:53:48,360
and how much faster I was than him it was like not the ratio was

1526
01:53:48,360 --> 01:53:52,360
not good in my favor okay hold on VNG supernova says one is

1527
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:56,360
Machamp and one is Hitmon Lee hold on I want to know which one is which

1528
01:53:56,360 --> 01:54:00,360
here I don't I don't remember these Pokemon yeah kind of

1529
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:04,360
okay hold on here we go uh no

1530
01:54:04,360 --> 01:54:08,360
Luke Luke no offense Luke but you are not of that build

1531
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:12,360
what would that build be this is this is more like this is more

1532
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:16,360
like uh like uh uh I don't know what's his nuts

1533
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:20,360
that uh because we're talking high school not now yeah this guy

1534
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:24,360
I'd say this that's like he's like at that

1535
01:54:24,360 --> 01:54:28,360
oh yeah no I'm yeah no yeah like that but that that's a Hitmon Lee build like

1536
01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:32,360
no no yeah that's like that's like a lean like UFC fighter build

1537
01:54:32,360 --> 01:54:36,360
yeah yeah no offense he's he's he's too ripped

1538
01:54:36,360 --> 01:54:40,360
you didn't know me when I was in high school though you have no idea really

1539
01:54:40,360 --> 01:54:44,360
uh and I okay no I'd say you're probably the Machamp then

1540
01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:48,360
I don't know what I would compare your brother to okay uh all

1541
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:52,360
fight pokemon okay here we go

1542
01:54:52,360 --> 01:54:56,360
Lucario Lucario's a fighting type yeah

1543
01:54:56,360 --> 01:55:00,360
we're gonna go pretty like no no no

1544
01:55:00,360 --> 01:55:04,360
manky manky don't don't think so oh this is not bad

1545
01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:08,360
this is not bad yeah that that could be rich

1546
01:55:08,360 --> 01:55:12,360
he's like for reference or people watching there was one time that there was a barn

1547
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:16,360
on fire he this was back when he was a poly wrath or poly wrath

1548
01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:20,360
I could see poly wrath yeah uh there's one time there's a barn on fire

1549
01:55:20,360 --> 01:55:24,360
this is when he was a volunteer firefighter and he's now a full-time firefighter

1550
01:55:24,360 --> 01:55:28,360
um but there was animals in the barn and they couldn't get the door open

1551
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:32,360
and this frustrated Richard he did not like this

1552
01:55:32,360 --> 01:55:36,360
situation because there was animals in the barn and the animals needed to no longer

1553
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:40,360
be in the barn so Richard ran through the wall

1554
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:44,360
in order to solve the problem and it worked it worked

1555
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:48,360
it was great so

1556
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:52,360
he was uh he played football up here

1557
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:56,360
uh it is pretty common for like American football players if they don't quite make it to the

1558
01:55:56,360 --> 01:56:00,360
NFL or if they need to be take a step back from the NFL or whatever

1559
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:04,360
they'll come up and play for the CFL the Canadian Football League it is not super common

1560
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:08,360
for Canadian players to go play for uh down in the states

1561
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:12,360
my brother got a full ride if I remember correctly it was a full ride

1562
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:16,360
some form of scholarship to an American school to play football as a fullback

1563
01:56:16,360 --> 01:56:20,360
didn't make to the NFL but that is just like unheard of

1564
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:24,360
he was crazy very strong him running through a wall

1565
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:28,360
was not super surprising for me when I heard it and I was like yes this sounds

1566
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:32,360
reasonable and appropriate for

1567
01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:36,360
if I remember correctly he got yelled at for it but they were also like

1568
01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:38,360
but also that was kind of cool

1569
01:56:40,360 --> 01:56:44,360
it was pretty sick okay

1570
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:48,360
tacky the penguin says Khabib overrated that can't be true right isn't he like

1571
01:56:48,360 --> 01:56:52,360
undefeated well he left the he stopped fighting

1572
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:56,360
yeah so you're allowed to retire at some point aren't you

1573
01:56:56,360 --> 01:57:00,360
oh no well yeah but I don't think he had like a crazy

1574
01:57:00,360 --> 01:57:04,360
I don't follow that stuff I don't think he had a crazy amount of fights

1575
01:57:04,360 --> 01:57:08,360
but I don't think he's uh with 29 wins and zero losses

1576
01:57:08,360 --> 01:57:12,360
he retired with an undefeated record I don't think he's overrated

1577
01:57:12,360 --> 01:57:16,360
yeah okay he isn't good till he loses to a Paul

1578
01:57:16,360 --> 01:57:20,360
brother okay come on and everyone knows it's gonna be a draw

1579
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:24,360
yeah it'll probably be one of the Paul brothers

1580
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:28,360
illegitimate sons by that point sorry what are we talking about Dan

1581
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:32,360
I don't know how we got on this topic that was a merch message from 20 minutes ago

1582
01:57:32,360 --> 01:57:36,360
do some more topics neat uh okay

1583
01:57:36,360 --> 01:57:40,360
why don't we do the future of tech channels source yeah

1584
01:57:40,360 --> 01:57:44,360
I made it up nice

1585
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:48,360
I'm seeing a growing and justified trend

1586
01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:52,360
of kind of anger toward tech reviewers for being able to get access to new technology

1587
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:56,360
that consumers struggle to get their hands on and I'm doing this topic out of order now

1588
01:57:56,360 --> 01:58:00,360
let's do this first topic first and you thought MSRP

1589
01:58:00,360 --> 01:58:04,360
was bad what the 5090 is hard to buy okay just to be clear

1590
01:58:04,360 --> 01:58:08,360
just in case anyone else didn't follow that we have completely abandoned the previous time

1591
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:12,360
we have I'm over it and we're on to a new one

1592
01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:16,360
I followed that I'm just making sure other people are also with us many users

1593
01:58:16,360 --> 01:58:20,360
have been disappointed with the launch of the 50 series which offers

1594
01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:24,360
underwhelming generational uplift over the 40 series while maintaining

1595
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:28,360
or in some cases exceeding the high pricing

1596
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:32,360
remember this wasn't that long ago the 3080's MSRP at launch

1597
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:36,360
was $699 and for a short

1598
01:58:36,360 --> 01:58:40,360
glorious window of time it was actually available for around that price

1599
01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:44,360
before the mining craze took off

1600
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:48,360
however for those who have been waiting

1601
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:52,360
a few generations for high end upgrade in spite of this awful pricing

1602
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:56,360
these cards are their only option especially with 40 series

1603
01:58:56,360 --> 01:59:00,360
cards becoming scarce as NVIDIA ramped down production last year allegedly

1604
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:04,360
but here's the thing you can't get the cards

1605
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:08,360
even NVIDIA employees claim to be struggling to get them

1606
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:14,360
overclockers UK stated to take 16 weeks

1607
01:59:14,360 --> 01:59:18,360
for them to deliver all of their 5090 pre-orders

1608
01:59:18,360 --> 01:59:22,360
and all models of the GPUs are out of stock virtually everywhere

1609
01:59:22,360 --> 01:59:26,360
this lack of availability has led to enthusiasts referring to the launch

1610
01:59:26,360 --> 01:59:30,360
of the 50 series as a paper launch though that is not really what that term means

1611
01:59:30,360 --> 01:59:34,360
a paper launch usually indicated a launch

1612
01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:38,360
via the press months or at least weeks

1613
01:59:38,360 --> 01:59:42,360
before the product was actually available for sale at all

1614
01:59:42,360 --> 01:59:46,360
so I would say an example of a paper launch

1615
01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:52,360
there was an AMD card back in the day I've got one in mind

1616
01:59:52,360 --> 01:59:56,360
it was the 1900 XTX

1617
01:59:56,360 --> 02:00:00,360
here we go X 1900 XTX

1618
02:00:04,360 --> 02:00:08,360
I think this was the one or was it

1619
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:12,360
X 1950 XTX I don't remember

1620
02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:18,360
yes this one

1621
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:22,360
the X 1950 XTX was basically

1622
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:26,360
functionally a non existent GPU

1623
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:30,360
wait is this the one ah you know what

1624
02:00:30,360 --> 02:00:34,360
I forget basically a higher X, no

1625
02:00:34,360 --> 02:00:38,360
X850 XT that's the one sorry sorry

1626
02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:42,360
here we go ok so this Platinum Edition

1627
02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:46,360
this stupid thing this thing functionally did not exist

1628
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:50,360
it was a overclocked

1629
02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:54,360
super mega binned version of the X800 XT

1630
02:00:54,360 --> 02:00:58,360
and there is no architectural

1631
02:00:58,360 --> 02:01:02,360
difference blah blah blah but it is ever so slightly overclocked

1632
02:01:02,360 --> 02:01:06,360
with a fancy tattoo on its

1633
02:01:06,360 --> 02:01:10,360
fan shroud or whatever and essentially they like

1634
02:01:10,360 --> 02:01:14,360
ship them to reviewers so that they could claim to have a competitive

1635
02:01:14,360 --> 02:01:18,360
product in the halo tier and ship

1636
02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:22,360
a small handful to retailers and then effectively it never existed again

1637
02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:26,360
so that was where we started to refer to very

1638
02:01:26,360 --> 02:01:30,360
low inventory launches as paper launches

1639
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:34,360
the 50 series is not a paper launch what it is is a launch

1640
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:38,360
with extremely limited availability especially as compared to the demand

1641
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:42,360
people do have them they're flipping them on ebay it's ridiculous

1642
02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:46,360
it's crap but yeah

1643
02:01:46,360 --> 02:01:50,360
got some more updates for you due to the demand for these chips and the limited supply it seems

1644
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:54,360
that add-in board partners are increasing their prices MSI

1645
02:01:54,360 --> 02:01:58,360
has increased the prices of their entire lineup of out of stock 50 series GPUs

1646
02:01:58,360 --> 02:02:02,360
and their sole 10C5080 model received a

1647
02:02:02,360 --> 02:02:06,360
14% price increase to 1139.99

1648
02:02:06,360 --> 02:02:10,360
and their sole MSRP 5090 is now going

1649
02:02:10,360 --> 02:02:14,360
for 2379 that is a whopping $380 over MSRP

1650
02:02:14,360 --> 02:02:18,360
ASUS not to be left out increased their prices

1651
02:02:18,360 --> 02:02:22,360
with the ROG astral 5090 going from an already high

1652
02:02:22,360 --> 02:02:26,360
2799 to a trippin balls 30

1653
02:02:26,360 --> 02:02:30,360
79 yeesh

1654
02:02:30,360 --> 02:02:34,360
and if you're thinking only 3079 dollars

1655
02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:38,360
how am I ever going to flaunt my wealth ASUS has a gold version

1656
02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:42,360
of the 5090 that is exclusive to the Middle East the 5090

1657
02:02:42,360 --> 02:02:46,360
Dahab OC edition however unlike our gold xbox

1658
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:50,360
controller it is not made of real gold the absolute

1659
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:54,360
cowards let's see if I can find a picture of this thing it actually looks

1660
02:02:54,360 --> 02:02:58,360
sick and I really want one there is absolutely no way

1661
02:02:58,360 --> 02:03:02,360
there is no way that I would pay for it

1662
02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:06,360
but that thing looks so cool our thing says

1663
02:03:06,360 --> 02:03:10,360
we aren't sure that it's made of real gold I know it's not made of gold

1664
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:14,360
I'm just saying it's only like another thousand dollars there's no way it's made of gold

1665
02:03:14,360 --> 02:03:16,360
you don't want a four hour video coming out about

1666
02:03:18,360 --> 02:03:22,360
I'm just trying to keep an eye okay

1667
02:03:22,360 --> 02:03:26,360
we're gonna make we're gonna be okay

1668
02:03:32,360 --> 02:03:36,360
are we Luke chewy's going home already

1669
02:03:38,360 --> 02:03:42,360
no chewy has to deal with all the problems on Fridays it's just Friday

1670
02:03:42,360 --> 02:03:44,360
why are you the spicy one today

1671
02:03:46,360 --> 02:03:50,360
should I make sure we don't say things that are wrong many are wondering

1672
02:03:50,360 --> 02:03:54,360
why NVIDIA launched the new series with such low inventory

1673
02:03:54,360 --> 02:03:58,360
and there are a number of factors that I could speculate are involved

1674
02:03:58,360 --> 02:04:02,360
I would say the proximity to Chinese New Year probably isn't helping anything

1675
02:04:02,360 --> 02:04:06,360
the ongoing threat slash enactment of tariffs could be playing a role

1676
02:04:06,360 --> 02:04:10,360
in low availability I know that it's coming up the works in terms of the supply chain

1677
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:14,360
so our commuter bags were already delayed in their shipments

1678
02:04:14,360 --> 02:04:18,360
before we stopped shipping them

1679
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:22,360
because of the tariffs the threat of tariffs had companies

1680
02:04:22,360 --> 02:04:26,360
just like trying to jam as much goods into the US

1681
02:04:26,360 --> 02:04:30,360
as possible and has led to big hold ups at the major ports

1682
02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:36,360
by the way we are shipping commuter bags now so if you guys see people buying commuter bags

1683
02:04:36,360 --> 02:04:40,360
the tariffs have been stayed and the de minimis exemption

1684
02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:44,360
has been restored for now so we are pushing things out anyway

1685
02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:48,360
another third contributor to NVIDIA's

1686
02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:52,360
low stock would be let's see

1687
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:56,360
I'm Jensen Huang imagine I have a leather jacket

1688
02:04:56,360 --> 02:05:00,360
nice good alligator I have this

1689
02:05:00,360 --> 02:05:04,360
wafer from TSMC I have to

1690
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:08,360
share TSMC's manufacturing capacity with everyone else

1691
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:14,360
but I got this one what am I going to do with it

1692
02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:18,360
hmm well I could make

1693
02:05:18,360 --> 02:05:22,360
gaming GPUs I could do that or hear me out

1694
02:05:22,360 --> 02:05:26,360
alternate pitch I could make AI GPUs

1695
02:05:26,360 --> 02:05:30,360
and the gaming GPUs are worth how much I don't know it doesn't matter

1696
02:05:30,360 --> 02:05:34,360
crap nothing and the AI GPUs are worth how much

1697
02:05:34,360 --> 02:05:38,360
lots my shareholders loved it do the gamers like you? no

1698
02:05:38,360 --> 02:05:42,360
do the AI people like you? they love me tough question

1699
02:05:42,360 --> 02:05:46,360
um anyway oh no

1700
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:50,360
who wrote this topic okay anyway Linus Sebastian

1701
02:05:50,360 --> 02:05:54,360
CVO of Linus Media Group and creator of YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips

1702
02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:58,360
though says he is torn as to whether or not he will buy one

1703
02:05:58,360 --> 02:06:02,360
elaborate though Linus don't spoil the results

1704
02:06:02,360 --> 02:06:06,360
of the upcoming 4k and 8k videos please don't say if I'm buying one or not

1705
02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:10,360
signed ploof I'm not going to get into it because that's kind

1706
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:14,360
of the premise for both of our 8k I'm very excited to watch and 4k gaming

1707
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:18,360
videos is both ploof and I went on the record before

1708
02:06:18,360 --> 02:06:22,360
the launch saying if all the rumors are true we are buying one

1709
02:06:22,360 --> 02:06:26,360
and now that it's launched I was telling

1710
02:06:26,360 --> 02:06:30,360
people at CES that I was really excited for it and wanted to get one neither of us is certain

1711
02:06:30,360 --> 02:06:34,360
or at least we weren't before we made those videos so I actually have no

1712
02:06:34,360 --> 02:06:38,360
further comment on that I am not getting one I think it wants all the coming but still

1713
02:06:38,360 --> 02:06:40,360
I wanted to get it because of

1714
02:06:42,360 --> 02:06:46,360
you know almost like professional development but

1715
02:06:46,360 --> 02:06:50,360
now I'm just talking to Darren about getting a cluster at work so

1716
02:06:50,360 --> 02:06:52,360
you can buy it

1717
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:58,360
wow eat a dick you can use it too actually we might have

1718
02:06:58,360 --> 02:07:02,360
a potential partner who wants to send us like an NVIDIA

1719
02:07:02,360 --> 02:07:06,360
GPU server to like use for a few months is that long enough

1720
02:07:06,360 --> 02:07:10,360
do you need it forever? I do want one long term

1721
02:07:10,360 --> 02:07:14,360
but it would be like I would want it to power

1722
02:07:14,360 --> 02:07:18,360
like inline IDE assistance for the developers in the lab and stuff like that

1723
02:07:18,360 --> 02:07:22,360
like we it's not just like a tinker box for me like actually I'm serious

1724
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:26,360
I recruited Dan knows Luke tell us about your tinker box

1725
02:07:28,360 --> 02:07:32,360
you don't want to hear about mine sometimes I use wephrase for things this is never going to change

1726
02:07:32,360 --> 02:07:36,360
just calm it with that old reference when it checks out

1727
02:07:36,360 --> 02:07:40,360
but no I recruited like Dan and AJ and Nick from the lab

1728
02:07:40,360 --> 02:07:44,360
to all kind of consult on it and how we can properly use it at work

1729
02:07:44,360 --> 02:07:48,360
and stuff like that cool anyway there's a couple other 50 series launch

1730
02:07:48,360 --> 02:07:52,360
things it's wildly expensive American sticker shock is already bad

1731
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:56,360
imagine what it's like in Canada or Australia dude people are posting screenshots

1732
02:07:56,360 --> 02:08:00,360
of Australian prices on this stuff and I'm just like $9,000 $50 90s what are we

1733
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:04,360
even doing here at this point and there's a note in here

1734
02:08:04,360 --> 02:08:08,360
from Adam who wrote up this topic just so you guys

1735
02:08:08,360 --> 02:08:12,360
know we're just as screwed as everyone else when it comes to getting these cards

1736
02:08:12,360 --> 02:08:16,360
for personal use several employees tried buying at launch and only

1737
02:08:16,360 --> 02:08:20,360
managed to snag either a 5080 or pre-orders for a 5090

1738
02:08:20,360 --> 02:08:24,360
and no one has any idea when those pre-orders will be filled and I gotta say

1739
02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:28,360
regardless of the outcome of the 8k and 4k gaming videos with Ploof

1740
02:08:28,360 --> 02:08:32,360
because I have sort of become accustomed to buying things at launch

1741
02:08:32,360 --> 02:08:36,360
like I just don't I don't really care like I'll just wait until later

1742
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:40,360
because like I I love gaming but I

1743
02:08:40,360 --> 02:08:44,360
realistically I don't find as much time for it as I used to

1744
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:48,360
something like yeah whatever like if I need something I'll like get it later

1745
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:52,360
not to mention that over the years you know being a tech personality I have

1746
02:08:52,360 --> 02:08:56,360
acquired many tech things but I have committed

1747
02:08:56,360 --> 02:09:00,360
for NVIDIA GPUs I don't know how this kind of happened but I committed

1748
02:09:00,360 --> 02:09:04,360
to not upgrade to 40 series either by buying it or by

1749
02:09:04,360 --> 02:09:08,360
taking a sample nothing so I have not daily to 40

1750
02:09:08,360 --> 02:09:12,360
series GPU and then for 50 series I basically said look

1751
02:09:12,360 --> 02:09:16,360
if I'm going to if these are just as expensive as 40 series

1752
02:09:16,360 --> 02:09:20,360
then the only way that I can

1753
02:09:20,360 --> 02:09:24,360
reasonably justify finally upgrading is if I'm actually like spending money on it

1754
02:09:24,360 --> 02:09:28,360
I'm not gonna just like take one I'm not just gonna take one that you guys could have had I'm gonna get out there

1755
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:32,360
I'm gonna have to actually like buy one so not being sort of

1756
02:09:32,360 --> 02:09:36,360
used to fighting scalpers for things because I just don't need a playstation

1757
02:09:36,360 --> 02:09:40,360
you know like I just haven't really I haven't really had to go up against it and I haven't upgraded

1758
02:09:40,360 --> 02:09:44,360
my GPU in years I completely miss the rush

1759
02:09:44,360 --> 02:09:48,360
I don't have a pre-order in I don't have

1760
02:09:48,360 --> 02:09:52,360
so if I want to buy one what will it cost me let's go on eBay

1761
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:56,360
shall we what without looking without looking

1762
02:09:56,360 --> 02:10:00,360
what would a 5090 cost me right now US eBay

1763
02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:02,360
US eBay

1764
02:10:04,360 --> 02:10:08,360
4400 bucks US?

1765
02:10:08,360 --> 02:10:12,360
yeah all right we're off to a great start 5090 doesn't even

1766
02:10:12,360 --> 02:10:16,360
bring up any GPUs we've got a Dell OptiPlex small phone factor

1767
02:10:16,360 --> 02:10:20,360
PC no it really doesn't

1768
02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:24,360
all right let's try RTX there's no way that's right

1769
02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:28,360
oh that one below it looks a little bit more accurate open box

1770
02:10:28,360 --> 02:10:32,360
2 year extended warranty I've heard from some people that the 5080

1771
02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:36,360
prices have been going down on the used market well yeah 5080 isn't it

1772
02:10:36,360 --> 02:10:40,360
I assumed the 5090 ones might be doing the same jeebus

1773
02:10:40,360 --> 02:10:44,360
jeebus help us all that's US dollars dude these are bids

1774
02:10:44,360 --> 02:10:48,360
dude these are bids these are bids that's not a buy it now sir

1775
02:10:48,360 --> 02:10:52,360
that's not one bid okay but maybe no one's buying

1776
02:10:52,360 --> 02:10:56,360
maybe people are saying now they're buying them

1777
02:10:56,360 --> 02:11:00,360
6200 that's the founders

1778
02:11:00,360 --> 02:11:04,360
so more like 7500

1779
02:11:08,360 --> 02:11:12,360
9000 some of these might be fake

1780
02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:16,360
some of these might be fake I don't think anyone's actually

1781
02:11:16,360 --> 02:11:20,360
paying 9000 for a gaming trio especially when

1782
02:11:20,360 --> 02:11:24,360
they could get it for 6300 in this other listing yeah this is rough dude

1783
02:11:24,360 --> 02:11:28,360
this is all today we're still on today right now by the way

1784
02:11:28,360 --> 02:11:32,360
yeah so like they exist yep they're definitely

1785
02:11:32,360 --> 02:11:36,360
out there I would just

1786
02:11:36,360 --> 02:11:40,360
I would just not I won't

1787
02:11:40,360 --> 02:11:44,360
I can't best offer doesn't show actual price

1788
02:11:45,360 --> 02:11:49,360
what does that mean I'm not looking at best offer

1789
02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:53,360
I'm looking at completed items sold items

1790
02:11:54,360 --> 02:11:58,360
new listing 6000 or best offer

1791
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:02,360
oh what they're saying is that they might have taken a lower offer

1792
02:12:02,360 --> 02:12:06,360
okay so the 9000 might have taken a lower offer

1793
02:12:06,360 --> 02:12:10,360
no they say best offer accepted on ones that are best offer though

1794
02:12:10,360 --> 02:12:14,360
see so no actually no that looks different

1795
02:12:14,360 --> 02:12:18,360
I'm not an eBay expert when it comes to this as far as my understanding

1796
02:12:18,360 --> 02:12:22,360
goes when you say sold items that shows the price

1797
02:12:22,360 --> 02:12:26,360
yeah Jenny thing says it has a line through it if they took a lower offer yeah no this appears to be

1798
02:12:26,360 --> 02:12:30,360
the closing price guys and yeah I don't know

1799
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:34,360
rough and that transitions us to

1800
02:12:34,360 --> 02:12:38,360
the future of tech channels source I made it up

1801
02:12:38,360 --> 02:12:42,360
I am seeing a growing and justified

1802
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:46,360
some or understandable at least trend of anger toward tech reviewers

1803
02:12:46,360 --> 02:12:50,360
for being able to get access to this technology that consumers are struggling

1804
02:12:50,360 --> 02:12:54,360
to get their hands on especially at a somewhat

1805
02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:58,360
reasonable price I think we can all agree that one component

1806
02:12:58,360 --> 02:13:02,360
of the gaming computer is not

1807
02:13:02,360 --> 02:13:06,360
reasonably priced at the entire cost of a sick

1808
02:13:06,360 --> 02:13:10,360
top of the line gaming setup just a couple short years ago I think we can probably all agree

1809
02:13:10,360 --> 02:13:14,360
on that now there's always been kind of some of this that we've seen whether it's

1810
02:13:14,360 --> 02:13:18,360
you know in the comments or live streams or you know whatever right but what I've noticed

1811
02:13:18,360 --> 02:13:22,360
is that this perception seems to be getting worse

1812
02:13:22,360 --> 02:13:26,360
for a number of reasons that I think may make it difficult for us to make

1813
02:13:26,360 --> 02:13:30,360
videos going forward reason number one

1814
02:13:30,360 --> 02:13:34,360
economic challenges in the tech and gaming industry layoffs

1815
02:13:34,360 --> 02:13:38,360
and a big pendulum swing towards a buyers

1816
02:13:38,360 --> 02:13:42,360
market for tech companies in their HR endeavors I think

1817
02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:46,360
we could agree that explain what that means yeah I think three years ago it was a

1818
02:13:46,360 --> 02:13:50,360
sellers market if I was a potential prospective employee

1819
02:13:50,360 --> 02:13:54,360
or a recent graduate I was basically you know

1820
02:13:54,360 --> 02:13:58,360
putting resumes out there if I even got a chance to put resumes out there

1821
02:13:58,360 --> 02:14:02,360
and I would just have an offer when it came to tech now

1822
02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:06,360
it's the other way around I think that the tech companies

1823
02:14:06,360 --> 02:14:10,360
are able to be choosy and they're absolutely

1824
02:14:10,360 --> 02:14:14,360
thinning the herd Luke talked about this I think on the pre-show

1825
02:14:14,360 --> 02:14:18,360
where like the RTO the return to office mandates seem to be in

1826
02:14:18,360 --> 02:14:22,360
some cases very obviously nothing to do with

1827
02:14:22,360 --> 02:14:26,360
actually wanting everybody in the office and everything to do with thinning the herd

1828
02:14:26,360 --> 02:14:30,360
hoping you'll take a layoff with those severance yes

1829
02:14:30,360 --> 02:14:34,360
factor number two economic challenges more broadly everything is expensive

1830
02:14:34,360 --> 02:14:38,360
especially food which pun intended eats into

1831
02:14:38,360 --> 02:14:42,360
the disposable income that we have to spend on dignity nice to haves like

1832
02:14:42,360 --> 02:14:46,360
GPUs factor number three ever shrinking

1833
02:14:46,360 --> 02:14:50,360
incentives to allocate manufacturing capacity to low margin gaming

1834
02:14:50,360 --> 02:14:54,360
products and this is exactly what Luke was talking about during the 50 series

1835
02:14:54,360 --> 02:14:58,360
thing for every wafer NVIDIA can choose to build AI

1836
02:14:58,360 --> 02:15:02,360
chips for customers and media who love them at monstrous margins that delay their shareholders

1837
02:15:02,360 --> 02:15:06,360
or they can choose to build gaming chips for

1838
02:15:06,360 --> 02:15:10,360
customers and media who generally kind of hate them at margins that drag down their books

1839
02:15:10,360 --> 02:15:14,360
factor four closely related the ever growing

1840
02:15:14,360 --> 02:15:18,360
prices of consumer GPUs and so here

1841
02:15:18,360 --> 02:15:22,360
I've got a note to talk about how PLUF has been following the pricing

1842
02:15:22,360 --> 02:15:26,360
of the 4090 particularly closely as you guys are going to see

1843
02:15:26,360 --> 02:15:30,360
in the 8k gaming drag race where we game it

1844
02:15:30,360 --> 02:15:34,360
8k on a 4090 it's actually his

1845
02:15:34,360 --> 02:15:38,360
we had to pull his from his system he graciously brought it into work that day

1846
02:15:38,360 --> 02:15:42,360
asked me to be very very careful with it as I was installing it and uninstalling it

1847
02:15:42,360 --> 02:15:46,360
he's like dude it's not a question of that it's a question of whether you'd even be able

1848
02:15:46,360 --> 02:15:50,360
to buy me a new one whether you'd even be able to get one

1849
02:15:50,360 --> 02:15:54,360
and it's a great point anyway the point is he graciously brought in his 4090 so that we could compare it

1850
02:15:54,360 --> 02:15:58,360
directly to the 5090 and so he's been paying

1851
02:15:58,360 --> 02:16:02,360
very close attention because if he's going to buy a 5090 like he had said he was going to

1852
02:16:02,360 --> 02:16:06,360
he would be selling his 4090 so

1853
02:16:06,360 --> 02:16:10,360
so keeping track of 4090 pricing tells him how much he's going to have to put

1854
02:16:10,360 --> 02:16:14,360
towards his 5090 and this is crazy okay so he just added

1855
02:16:14,360 --> 02:16:18,360
he added this to the dock here but he was telling me earlier in the week

1856
02:16:18,360 --> 02:16:22,360
man or not earlier in the week must have been last week

1857
02:16:22,360 --> 02:16:26,360
when we were shooting the first one the 8k gaming video he's like dude 4090s

1858
02:16:26,360 --> 02:16:30,360
are still going for like 2k Canadian that's like only a couple hundred bucks less than what I paid

1859
02:16:30,360 --> 02:16:34,360
get this when we were shooting the

1860
02:16:34,360 --> 02:16:38,360
4k gaming video the 4k high refresh rate gaming video

1861
02:16:38,360 --> 02:16:42,360
earlier this week he goes Linus you're not going to believe this 4090s are now going

1862
02:16:42,360 --> 02:16:46,360
for about 200 Canadian more than what I paid I could have used

1863
02:16:46,360 --> 02:16:50,360
this GPU that I bought brand new two years ago for two years

1864
02:16:50,360 --> 02:16:54,360
and I could sell it today and make money for a couple hundred dollars

1865
02:16:54,360 --> 02:16:58,360
more than what I paid then then get this get this

1866
02:16:58,360 --> 02:17:02,360
he just posted this update in the dock I just checked they're going for like 3k plus

1867
02:17:02,360 --> 02:17:06,360
CAD on eBay now people look at the benchmarks and they go like

1868
02:17:06,360 --> 02:17:10,360
well 4090 looks pretty good yeah maybe I'll just get that so all these factors together affect

1869
02:17:10,360 --> 02:17:14,360
a channel like ours in multiple ways I've seen a clear

1870
02:17:14,360 --> 02:17:18,360
trend of disengagement with content that features you know I can't

1871
02:17:18,360 --> 02:17:22,360
afford right and I've seen people lament the old days

1872
02:17:22,360 --> 02:17:26,360
when the channel was focused on stuff that regular people can own instead of just like

1873
02:17:26,360 --> 02:17:30,360
millionaire sh** but hear me out

1874
02:17:30,360 --> 02:17:34,360
hear me out for a second maybe LTT

1875
02:17:34,360 --> 02:17:38,360
was always unhinged expensive stuff

1876
02:17:38,360 --> 02:17:42,360
before you even jump into that I want to give an example the first real project I

1877
02:17:42,360 --> 02:17:46,360
worked on with you was something I had never done before because I couldn't afford it

1878
02:17:46,360 --> 02:17:50,360
oh the water cooling guide yeah okay water cooling has always been

1879
02:17:50,360 --> 02:17:54,360
expensive especially back then it was even worse goes back farther than that yeah the second

1880
02:17:54,360 --> 02:17:58,360
video that is what at the time was the most

1881
02:17:58,360 --> 02:18:02,360
expensive motherboard on the market with three top spec

1882
02:18:02,360 --> 02:18:06,360
GPUs on it and why did I put them on there

1883
02:18:06,360 --> 02:18:10,360
let's see if they fit yeah actually there weren't all top spec this was actually three different

1884
02:18:10,360 --> 02:18:14,360
generations because I just thought it was funny um let's go

1885
02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:18,360
let's go a little further oh 3d vision because that wasn't a you know unhinged

1886
02:18:18,360 --> 02:18:22,360
ridiculous accessory for one percenters uh what else we got here

1887
02:18:22,360 --> 02:18:26,360
we got a bunch of motherboards because I was in a motherboard mood that day here's a bunch more

1888
02:18:26,360 --> 02:18:30,360
motherboards oh I don't know here's my personal rig

1889
02:18:30,360 --> 02:18:34,360
you know just casually looking a little something like that like it was

1890
02:18:34,360 --> 02:18:38,360
always aspirational if we go a little

1891
02:18:38,360 --> 02:18:42,360
farther we're gonna find like an extreme edition CPU I think I was yeah there it is here's

1892
02:18:42,360 --> 02:18:46,360
a thousand US dollars CPU let's crack the seal boys

1893
02:18:46,360 --> 02:18:50,360
it was always aspirational it was always like

1894
02:18:50,360 --> 02:18:54,360
you know oh man what would it be like you know

1895
02:18:54,360 --> 02:18:58,360
when the price comes down and I could have one of those

1896
02:18:58,360 --> 02:19:02,360
um so why does it bother

1897
02:19:02,360 --> 02:19:06,360
people now well I think there's a few factors I think the perception of

1898
02:19:06,360 --> 02:19:10,360
me has changed um I haven't really talked to you about this but I I think

1899
02:19:10,360 --> 02:19:14,360
I think it's safe to say now that I regret disclosing the value

1900
02:19:14,360 --> 02:19:18,360
of the offer for our company I believe in transparency with the audience

1901
02:19:18,360 --> 02:19:22,360
and in some ways I'm as parasocial as any of you guys are um and you know

1902
02:19:22,360 --> 02:19:26,360
I I like you know talking about you know what's going on

1903
02:19:26,360 --> 02:19:30,360
you know what's going on around here but it does feel like there was a significant

1904
02:19:30,360 --> 02:19:34,360
turning point in perception toward me personally and toward our brand

1905
02:19:34,360 --> 02:19:38,360
that line has changed you know that LTT changed um once

1906
02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:42,360
you know I spelled it out for you guys that running a media company with 100 plus people

1907
02:19:42,360 --> 02:19:46,360
means I probably have means beyond the 99% um in the current

1908
02:19:46,360 --> 02:19:50,360
climate I think that almost certainly contributes to some of the anger and frustration that's targeted

1909
02:19:50,360 --> 02:19:54,360
at me even though like guys I I'm a small fish

1910
02:19:54,360 --> 02:19:58,360
I do not control the price of eggs I still exchange my labor for money

1911
02:19:58,360 --> 02:20:02,360
I don't just get to exercise my capital for profit um

1912
02:20:02,360 --> 02:20:06,360
and I also don't think that's all of it anyway I think a bigger piece

1913
02:20:06,360 --> 02:20:10,360
is growing apathy toward tech in general

1914
02:20:10,360 --> 02:20:14,360
what is the point of watching a video about the

1915
02:20:14,360 --> 02:20:18,360
latest thing if it will literally never come down

1916
02:20:18,360 --> 02:20:22,360
in price the fact that PLUVS 4090

1917
02:20:22,360 --> 02:20:26,360
is worth today more than it was worth

1918
02:20:26,360 --> 02:20:30,360
two years ago why should I care

1919
02:20:30,360 --> 02:20:34,360
why should I bother caring about any of this then

1920
02:20:34,360 --> 02:20:38,360
and I think another big factor is like

1921
02:20:38,360 --> 02:20:42,360
people just have other stuff on their mind they just don't have the bandwidth it's like

1922
02:20:42,360 --> 02:20:46,360
it used to be that the point of learning about DDR8 or whatever

1923
02:20:46,360 --> 02:20:50,360
was that someday my earning power will grow

1924
02:20:50,360 --> 02:20:54,360
and the cost of DDR8 will go down

1925
02:20:54,360 --> 02:20:58,360
and those lines are going to intersect and I'm going to enjoy all that GC tech goodness

1926
02:20:58,360 --> 02:21:02,360
at some point but wages are stagnating hardworking people are being cut from their roles

1927
02:21:02,360 --> 02:21:06,360
at companies that are turning around and announcing record profits well, you know, AMD just

1928
02:21:06,360 --> 02:21:10,360
forgets that Ryzen 3 exists and NVIDIA launches

1929
02:21:10,360 --> 02:21:14,360
new GPUs that are so expensive the old ones keep their retail value I can see why it feels pointless

1930
02:21:14,360 --> 02:21:18,360
I'm going to jump in for a second again just to bolster that the whole forgets Ryzen 3 exists thing

1931
02:21:18,360 --> 02:21:22,360
for a long time not only was the 60 card

1932
02:21:22,360 --> 02:21:26,360
the one that everybody bought but it felt like there was also a lot more emphasis on it

1933
02:21:26,360 --> 02:21:30,360
felt like it mattered more where's the 50 desktop card

1934
02:21:30,360 --> 02:21:34,360
yeah, seriously like they

1935
02:21:34,360 --> 02:21:38,360
in general, they care about the lower end a lot more and I think that is

1936
02:21:38,360 --> 02:21:42,360
somewhat reflected in like like this 5000 series launch

1937
02:21:42,360 --> 02:21:46,360
you know, I've been out of it for a while but everyone seems

1938
02:21:46,360 --> 02:21:50,360
really interested in the 90 series if I'm thinking like way back

1939
02:21:50,360 --> 02:21:54,360
like 500 series, 400 series 700 series even

1940
02:21:54,360 --> 02:21:58,360
like the 780 was really cool yeah, but you know

1941
02:21:58,360 --> 02:22:02,360
people really talked about the 760 8800 GTS

1942
02:22:02,360 --> 02:22:06,360
sick and if you were a baller

1943
02:22:06,360 --> 02:22:10,360
you could get two of those in SLI and it was actually better bang for the buck than a single GTX

1944
02:22:10,360 --> 02:22:14,360
like there was value to be had the GTX was like

1945
02:22:14,360 --> 02:22:18,360
what people really cared about GTX was cool to see but the GTX was what people

1946
02:22:18,360 --> 02:22:22,360
really cared about and that doesn't feel like the communication sentiment

1947
02:22:22,360 --> 02:22:26,360
that I'm seeing these days I'm not seeing a bunch of people being like

1948
02:22:26,360 --> 02:22:30,360
yeah, I mean it was a cool video or whatever I don't care about the 5090

1949
02:22:30,360 --> 02:22:34,360
I'm looking for the 5060 I genuinely don't think I've seen any of those comments

1950
02:22:34,360 --> 02:22:38,360
and I used to see that all the time the most frustrating part for me

1951
02:22:38,360 --> 02:22:42,360
is that for our hardware enthusiast hobby

1952
02:22:42,360 --> 02:22:46,360
that you know we've enjoyed for our entire adult lives

1953
02:22:46,360 --> 02:22:50,360
is that all of this is totally valid

1954
02:22:50,360 --> 02:22:54,360
like if I didn't review this stuff for a living would I bother upgrading my PC

1955
02:22:54,360 --> 02:22:58,360
if something wasn't broken and if I didn't care about competitive play

1956
02:22:58,360 --> 02:23:02,360
would I just use a streaming service like GeForce Now or Shadow

1957
02:23:06,360 --> 02:23:10,360
so I don't know it's something I've been reflecting on a lot because I sit in writer's meeting

1958
02:23:10,360 --> 02:23:14,360
and you know on the one hand it's fun for us to joke about doing like

1959
02:23:14,360 --> 02:23:18,360
a tech yacht or whatever just for the spectacle of it

1960
02:23:18,360 --> 02:23:22,360
and it's cool to look at it's cool to dream about

1961
02:23:22,360 --> 02:23:26,360
and it's cool to live that dream and that's awesome and stuff like it's cool

1962
02:23:26,360 --> 02:23:30,360
but what makes us

1963
02:23:30,360 --> 02:23:34,360
relatable, what makes it fun to watch us do that wild stuff

1964
02:23:34,360 --> 02:23:38,360
is that we also talk about the things that people can actually afford

1965
02:23:38,360 --> 02:23:42,360
but I don't and so people will be pitching things in writer's meeting

1966
02:23:42,360 --> 02:23:46,360
and I'm just like yeah no we can't we can't even talk about that

1967
02:23:46,360 --> 02:23:50,360
we can't show that and the thing is like we get backlash for watching me

1968
02:23:50,360 --> 02:23:54,360
put cool tech in my McMansion we get backlash for saying hey buying a console

1969
02:23:54,360 --> 02:23:58,360
is a valid option we get backlash and we have always

1970
02:23:58,360 --> 02:24:02,360
but it's been more lately which is bizarre for focusing on second hand tech

1971
02:24:02,360 --> 02:24:06,360
in videos like our PlayStation Killer series and that one that I did

1972
02:24:06,360 --> 02:24:10,360
I had someone explain to me why that video didn't resonate with people

1973
02:24:10,360 --> 02:24:14,360
the one where I was like only you can fix GPU pricing and I went out and did like a mini

1974
02:24:14,360 --> 02:24:18,360
scrapyard wars where I bought a 3080 for a great price

1975
02:24:18,360 --> 02:24:22,360
and it was because people don't want to be blamed

1976
02:24:22,360 --> 02:24:26,360
gamers didn't want to be blamed for buying the stuff anyway

1977
02:24:26,360 --> 02:24:30,360
sure and I'm kind of like okay

1978
02:24:30,360 --> 02:24:34,360
but like you're buying $7,000

1979
02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:38,360
$50.90 what am I supposed to do

1980
02:24:38,360 --> 02:24:42,360
it's really weird to have people be angry at the messenger in these cases it's like

1981
02:24:42,360 --> 02:24:46,360
you know yeah we're going to continue to highlight affordable stuff whenever we get the chance

1982
02:24:46,360 --> 02:24:50,360
I can't cover products that don't exist you know people ask me why don't you do $500

1983
02:24:50,360 --> 02:24:54,360
build guides anymore like every few months why don't you do like an affordable build guide

1984
02:24:54,360 --> 02:24:58,360
I can't cover stuff that doesn't exist AMD

1985
02:24:58,360 --> 02:25:02,360
hasn't launched a Ryzen 3 in two

1986
02:25:02,360 --> 02:25:06,360
full desktop generations now and that includes mid-cycle X3D refreshes

1987
02:25:06,360 --> 02:25:10,360
yeah the companies don't really care about that

1988
02:25:10,360 --> 02:25:14,360
NVIDIA simply no longer makes a 50 class

1989
02:25:14,360 --> 02:25:18,360
GPU on the desktop don't have one

1990
02:25:18,360 --> 02:25:22,360
I mean I also this is another one I also get asked hey Linus

1991
02:25:22,360 --> 02:25:26,360
why aren't you doing more to pressure these companies to make stuff more affordable

1992
02:25:26,360 --> 02:25:30,360
and the answer to that is guys you watch Wansho every week

1993
02:25:30,360 --> 02:25:34,360
you know you tune into LTT a few times a week and you care what I have to say

1994
02:25:34,360 --> 02:25:38,360
maybe maybe you don't maybe you hate watch I don't know but the point is that you're

1995
02:25:38,360 --> 02:25:42,360
engaged do you think Lisa Sue watches Wansho

1996
02:25:42,360 --> 02:25:46,360
well that's not what they're trying to say I think they're trying to say like

1997
02:25:46,360 --> 02:25:50,360
why don't you talk to them directly no so it doesn't it doesn't matter

1998
02:25:50,360 --> 02:25:54,360
my point is just that do you think Lisa Sue gives two shits what I think

1999
02:25:54,360 --> 02:25:58,360
yeah no do you think Jensen Huang cares do you think he knows my name

2000
02:25:58,360 --> 02:26:02,360
they're analyzing where they're making money and they're doing that

2001
02:26:02,360 --> 02:26:06,360
they are solely beholden to their shareholders and I own no stock in any of their companies

2002
02:26:06,360 --> 02:26:10,360
because duh I shouldn't

2003
02:26:10,360 --> 02:26:14,360
so that was the spiel what do we do

2004
02:26:14,360 --> 02:26:18,360
like what do we do we can't just keep reviewing

2005
02:26:18,360 --> 02:26:22,360
hardware that people can't afford we can't

2006
02:26:22,360 --> 02:26:26,360
we can't keep just like you know building projects that no one could hope

2007
02:26:26,360 --> 02:26:30,360
to replicate ever like what's the answer here

2008
02:26:30,360 --> 02:26:34,360
can you believe that Apple Apple is now the

2009
02:26:34,360 --> 02:26:38,360
savior of the affordable desktop PC it's weird what the f***

2010
02:26:38,360 --> 02:26:42,360
a lot of talk going around about Mac minis a lot

2011
02:26:42,360 --> 02:26:46,360
I literally hear about Mac minis like at least multiple times a week

2012
02:26:48,360 --> 02:26:52,360
Apple yeah

2013
02:26:52,360 --> 02:26:56,360
yeah it's weird so you got nothing then that's what you're saying it's weird

2014
02:26:56,360 --> 02:27:00,360
thank you Luke that's really helpful I mean I don't think like you know

2015
02:27:00,360 --> 02:27:04,360
there's people in the comments saying do retro stuff there's a dot here on doing retro stuff

2016
02:27:04,360 --> 02:27:08,360
I don't think that's gonna work personally I think you can do it every now

2017
02:27:08,360 --> 02:27:12,360
and then I don't think you can pivot the channel to it there's thoughts about doing

2018
02:27:12,360 --> 02:27:16,360
software content again I think you can do it every now and then I strongly

2019
02:27:16,360 --> 02:27:18,360
don't believe you can pivot the channel to it

2020
02:27:20,360 --> 02:27:24,360
nerdle brings up a really interesting point Linus I'd be more concerned if views

2021
02:27:24,360 --> 02:27:28,360
were going way down with the hate but if it's consistent views why are we

2022
02:27:28,360 --> 02:27:32,360
focusing on the hate more I'm not talking about hate I'm talking about

2023
02:27:32,360 --> 02:27:36,360
something way more dangerous and that's apathy and the reason

2024
02:27:36,360 --> 02:27:40,360
that views aren't going down is because for all the you know

2025
02:27:40,360 --> 02:27:44,360
ripping on them that I do and you know all the banter that we have in the office

2026
02:27:44,360 --> 02:27:48,360
I have a f***ing world class team yeah we work

2027
02:27:48,360 --> 02:27:52,360
yeah peel the floor peel the floor

2028
02:27:52,360 --> 02:27:56,360
okay that's an internal meme don't worry about it I will never stop

2029
02:27:56,360 --> 02:28:00,360
the point is we work

2030
02:28:00,360 --> 02:28:04,360
we work really hard we work really hard

2031
02:28:04,360 --> 02:28:08,360
to upload videos that are engaging for our audience

2032
02:28:08,360 --> 02:28:12,360
and the reason

2033
02:28:12,360 --> 02:28:16,360
that views are the way that they are hold on that no title

2034
02:28:16,360 --> 02:28:20,360
contains hold on I'm doing a little filter here the reason that views haven't fallen

2035
02:28:20,360 --> 02:28:24,360
is because we're doing that we are actively

2036
02:28:24,360 --> 02:28:28,360
working against a tide that you guys might not see

2037
02:28:28,360 --> 02:28:32,360
in our analytics but we do if we just uploaded a video

2038
02:28:32,360 --> 02:28:36,360
unboxing a mother board like we might have 10 years ago

2039
02:28:36,360 --> 02:28:40,360
oof we'd be lucky to get 50,000 views on it

2040
02:28:40,360 --> 02:28:44,360
nobody cares nobody cares the apathy

2041
02:28:44,360 --> 02:28:48,360
toward just like DIY computer heart we have to come up with an angle

2042
02:28:48,360 --> 02:28:52,360
like there was one recently that that just bombed and we were talking

2043
02:28:52,360 --> 02:28:56,360
about it on wancho and you guys rightly were like Linus you totally

2044
02:28:56,360 --> 02:29:00,360
missed the mark on this you should have done $50 versus $50,000

2045
02:29:00,360 --> 02:29:04,360
for that format and it was the home theater one the home theater one

2046
02:29:04,360 --> 02:29:08,360
and I was like oh yeah you're right like you need a cat

2047
02:29:08,360 --> 02:29:12,360
you need a hook you need a format you need to do so much more than

2048
02:29:12,360 --> 02:29:16,360
just review this product like we used to

2049
02:29:16,360 --> 02:29:20,360
like look at this things are so much work now

2050
02:29:20,360 --> 02:29:24,360
we literally had to paint Elijah's house to execute this video

2051
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:28,360
that would have been the kind of like wild

2052
02:29:28,360 --> 02:29:32,360
huge project that we would do once a quarter back in the day

2053
02:29:32,360 --> 02:29:36,360
the 50 series reviews

2054
02:29:36,360 --> 02:29:40,360
were thick in terms of the effort that went

2055
02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:44,360
into them this controller roundup

2056
02:29:44,360 --> 02:29:48,360
we had David working for at least an entire week

2057
02:29:48,360 --> 02:29:52,360
dedicated to this that is not a thing that used to happen for just

2058
02:29:52,360 --> 02:29:56,360
an upload also Antoine Lusseldab's work there was

2059
02:29:56,360 --> 02:30:00,360
oh yeah multiple people worked for a long time

2060
02:30:00,360 --> 02:30:04,360
on this the editors man the editors did such a great job

2061
02:30:04,360 --> 02:30:08,360
shoot I feel terrible because I forget who it was but boy did they ever do

2062
02:30:08,360 --> 02:30:12,360
a bang up job of all of the the cool like graphics and stuff

2063
02:30:12,360 --> 02:30:16,360
let me see if I can find it hold on

2064
02:30:16,360 --> 02:30:20,360
here we go no

2065
02:30:20,360 --> 02:30:24,360
there we go like this kind of stuff is so cool that adds

2066
02:30:24,360 --> 02:30:28,360
so much to the video it is so much

2067
02:30:28,360 --> 02:30:32,360
Robert there we go it is so much more work now

2068
02:30:32,360 --> 02:30:36,360
to get those views compared to and I'm not complaining I'm not saying

2069
02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:40,360
we shouldn't have to work we shouldn't have to compete we should have to work

2070
02:30:40,360 --> 02:30:44,360
we should have to compete I embrace competition because I think it makes the content

2071
02:30:44,360 --> 02:30:48,360
I think it makes the entire space better for people who care

2072
02:30:48,360 --> 02:30:52,360
and for people who are interested in it but what I am saying but what I'm saying is

2073
02:30:52,360 --> 02:30:56,360
it's not about it's not hate competing to make better content

2074
02:30:56,360 --> 02:31:00,360
like competing against a fading industry yeah

2075
02:31:00,360 --> 02:31:04,360
which that's no longer fun or cool yeah

2076
02:31:08,360 --> 02:31:12,360
so what do we do what do you do in 20 years

2077
02:31:12,360 --> 02:31:16,360
dude what so 20 years what I'm 58 okay let's make it different

2078
02:31:16,360 --> 02:31:20,360
what do you do in 12 years why 12 oh I see because we've been at it

2079
02:31:20,360 --> 02:31:24,360
12 years um I don't know I think that's a good

2080
02:31:24,360 --> 02:31:28,360
way to frame it though because if we can determine you know where we want to be

2081
02:31:28,360 --> 02:31:32,360
then every action that we take is I mean for better or for worse

2082
02:31:32,360 --> 02:31:36,360
I've always been about transparency with the people like I think that

2083
02:31:36,360 --> 02:31:40,360
I think that a lot of online personalities

2084
02:31:40,360 --> 02:31:44,360
get a bit of an easier ride even though they're very successful if they

2085
02:31:44,360 --> 02:31:48,360
like don't post a picture of their car never live stream from their nice house

2086
02:31:48,360 --> 02:31:52,360
I think people it's easier for people to just kind of forget about that we were

2087
02:31:52,360 --> 02:31:56,360
talking I'm not going to go directly into this topic but we were talking about this

2088
02:31:56,360 --> 02:32:00,360
kind of in the pre-show of like being more transparent about and public

2089
02:32:00,360 --> 02:32:04,360
about things will catch you more flak oh guaranteed 100%

2090
02:32:04,360 --> 02:32:08,360
in every scenario I mean at this point though I feel like I've been caught

2091
02:32:08,360 --> 02:32:12,360
in the flat can in so many times and I'm not dead yet like it's just like

2092
02:32:12,360 --> 02:32:16,360
yeah I um tickle tickle I mean

2093
02:32:16,360 --> 02:32:20,360
you know how upset I was and why for a recent

2094
02:32:20,360 --> 02:32:24,360
thing that happened oh yeah very justified and

2095
02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:28,360
um it rolled off my back

2096
02:32:28,360 --> 02:32:32,360
easier than I thought surprisingly fast because I think

2097
02:32:32,360 --> 02:32:36,360
maybe not because you don't care I think it's I think

2098
02:32:36,360 --> 02:32:40,360
it's just an acceptance that um the haters going to hate

2099
02:32:40,360 --> 02:32:44,360
hate hate hate hate and I'm just going to shake shake shake shake shake shake it off

2100
02:32:44,360 --> 02:32:48,360
like I don't really I only have a choice there's nothing I can do about it and so this

2101
02:32:48,360 --> 02:32:52,360
this isn't about appeasing haters it's about it's about you know figuring out

2102
02:32:52,360 --> 02:32:56,360
what is the direction of our content because now

2103
02:32:56,360 --> 02:33:00,360
we have reviewed the 50 series you know

2104
02:33:00,360 --> 02:33:04,360
I'm going to have no new consumer GPU after we get through 5070

2105
02:33:04,360 --> 02:33:08,360
5060 probably 5050 won't even happen so sometime over the next you know months

2106
02:33:08,360 --> 02:33:12,360
we're going to have the entire 50 series lineup and I will have no

2107
02:33:12,360 --> 02:33:16,360
GPU to review for probably two years I honestly looking at the trend

2108
02:33:16,360 --> 02:33:20,360
maybe maybe two and a half maybe two and a quarter maybe two yeah yeah maybe longer

2109
02:33:20,360 --> 02:33:24,360
who knows right so that that's not going to work we can't just like

2110
02:33:24,360 --> 02:33:28,360
review GPUs when they happen to appear yeah

2111
02:33:28,360 --> 02:33:32,360
so where do I want to be in 12 years I don't know maybe it's so hard

2112
02:33:32,360 --> 02:33:36,360
to think about that we're I mean we're moving if you look

2113
02:33:36,360 --> 02:33:40,360
at if you look at we have a video coming soon that is going to be very cool

2114
02:33:40,360 --> 02:33:44,360
which is how does LMG make money

2115
02:33:44,360 --> 02:33:48,360
and if you look at the trend line of the company

2116
02:33:48,360 --> 02:33:52,360
we're making stuff we do we

2117
02:33:52,360 --> 02:33:56,360
we got to the point where it was there isn't

2118
02:33:56,360 --> 02:34:00,360
a stuff to make content there's enough stuff to make content about let's start making stuff

2119
02:34:00,360 --> 02:34:04,360
instead of just making content yeah in between was the I remember

2120
02:34:04,360 --> 02:34:08,360
I remember telling probably you I think this would have been still when you were on the content team

2121
02:34:08,360 --> 02:34:12,360
but definitely people afterwards is we are at a

2122
02:34:12,360 --> 02:34:16,360
scale now and at a level of operation where we no longer

2123
02:34:16,360 --> 02:34:20,360
talk about the news we make that was still yeah I was still

2124
02:34:20,360 --> 02:34:24,360
doing content we we create something to be excited about

2125
02:34:24,360 --> 02:34:28,360
whether it's with our angle or our production values or whatever

2126
02:34:28,360 --> 02:34:32,360
it is we cannot be dependent on someone else

2127
02:34:32,360 --> 02:34:36,360
to make something interesting for us to talk about we have to find something interesting to say

2128
02:34:36,360 --> 02:34:40,360
regardless and then I guess you're saying so the next level is we just

2129
02:34:40,360 --> 02:34:44,360
make something for people to talk about

2130
02:34:44,360 --> 02:34:48,360
I don't I mean we're not we're not at that level in tech though we're talking 12 years

2131
02:34:48,360 --> 02:34:52,360
though look at what we've done in 12 years

2132
02:34:52,360 --> 02:34:56,360
in this 12 years we made screwdrivers and backpacks and a

2133
02:34:56,360 --> 02:35:00,360
multiple content warehouses and a lab and a video

2134
02:35:00,360 --> 02:35:04,360
platform service and all this other stuff what do we do in the next

2135
02:35:04,360 --> 02:35:08,360
12 years 12 years is a long time your

2136
02:35:08,360 --> 02:35:12,360
child will solidly be an adult

2137
02:35:12,360 --> 02:35:16,360
well I don't want to think about that right now I'm just trying to give it a scale

2138
02:35:16,360 --> 02:35:20,360
yeah no I get it I get it man I mean like

2139
02:35:20,360 --> 02:35:24,360
we we make stuff we do make stuff now

2140
02:35:24,360 --> 02:35:28,360
you know sometimes it's just a one-off why am I not finding this video

2141
02:35:28,360 --> 02:35:32,360
what's going on all the filters are just being stupid this is a this is

2142
02:35:32,360 --> 02:35:36,360
a really cool video the ultimate sleeper gaming TV again

2143
02:35:36,360 --> 02:35:40,360
this is the kind of video that would have been like once a once

2144
02:35:40,360 --> 02:35:44,360
a quarter once a year level project is just

2145
02:35:44,360 --> 02:35:48,360
an upload this week you know the finished product

2146
02:35:48,360 --> 02:35:52,360
on this is absolutely incredible it's the best

2147
02:35:52,360 --> 02:35:56,360
gaming TV in the world it has every

2148
02:35:56,360 --> 02:36:00,360
it has every console that matters inside it

2149
02:36:00,360 --> 02:36:04,360
did you watch this Luke? I haven't yet but I'm genuinely excited to

2150
02:36:04,360 --> 02:36:08,360
I've just had a genuinely insane week so we've got PC, subwoofer, speakers

2151
02:36:08,360 --> 02:36:12,360
Nintendo Wii U PlayStation 5

2152
02:36:12,360 --> 02:36:16,360
and a Nintendo switch and then we replaced the front

2153
02:36:16,360 --> 02:36:20,360
projection screen with an OLED so it's everything about it

2154
02:36:20,360 --> 02:36:24,360
is modern current generation top of the line sleeper gaming TV

2155
02:36:24,360 --> 02:36:28,360
so sick dude but I don't see a

2156
02:36:28,360 --> 02:36:32,360
path where we like productize stuff like that though

2157
02:36:32,360 --> 02:36:36,360
so what do we make in tech? I don't know

2158
02:36:36,360 --> 02:36:40,360
like I don't really I don't have a vision toward that it's really hard to make

2159
02:36:40,360 --> 02:36:44,360
quarterly goals and we're trying to make 12 year goals yeah

2160
02:36:44,360 --> 02:36:48,360
what I think I'm pushing for is that we'll make something the

2161
02:36:48,360 --> 02:36:52,360
the engine that has been created here is an engine that can be used

2162
02:36:52,360 --> 02:36:56,360
for a great many things at this point we have

2163
02:36:56,360 --> 02:37:00,360
software we have hardware we have content we have business

2164
02:37:00,360 --> 02:37:04,360
we have everything practically

2165
02:37:04,360 --> 02:37:08,360
so what the engine works to produce

2166
02:37:08,360 --> 02:37:12,360
so here's a question I mean is there should we just

2167
02:37:12,360 --> 02:37:16,360
you know back to like you know the haters or whatever should we just

2168
02:37:16,360 --> 02:37:20,360
maintain the transparent should we just do tech yacht and just not give a

2169
02:37:20,360 --> 02:37:24,360
f*** people

2170
02:37:24,360 --> 02:37:28,360
aren't going to be happy unless you Michael Bay the sequel

2171
02:37:28,360 --> 02:37:32,360
so do we just keep upping the ante do we take the ultimate sleeper gaming

2172
02:37:32,360 --> 02:37:36,360
TV put it in our tech yacht sign it up with a charter

2173
02:37:36,360 --> 02:37:40,360
with a charter broker service and people can charter the tech yacht and they can play

2174
02:37:40,360 --> 02:37:44,360
on the ultimate gaming TV like should we just not give a f***

2175
02:37:44,360 --> 02:37:48,360
my big thing and I know this might not make a lot of sense to a lot of people but my big thing

2176
02:37:48,360 --> 02:37:52,360
is if you make it a business you don't care

2177
02:37:52,360 --> 02:37:56,360
right it's a business venture it doesn't matter

2178
02:37:56,360 --> 02:38:00,360
to me how profitable it is so if people can charter the tech plane

2179
02:38:00,360 --> 02:38:04,360
then we don't care interesting philosophy I'm not sure if I 100%

2180
02:38:04,360 --> 02:38:08,360
agree with that I don't know that everyone else does

2181
02:38:08,360 --> 02:38:12,360
but maybe we just don't give a f*** anymore I don't know dude

2182
02:38:12,360 --> 02:38:16,360
why is your spending

2183
02:38:16,360 --> 02:38:20,360
beholden to others I don't know I mean you know

2184
02:38:20,360 --> 02:38:24,360
that one of the reasons that I held off on like getting a nice car for so long

2185
02:38:24,360 --> 02:38:28,360
was because I was concerned about the optics and I'm saying this

2186
02:38:28,360 --> 02:38:32,360
while I feel the same way often so like I'm being pretty hypocritical

2187
02:38:32,360 --> 02:38:36,360
but it's I also do kind of believe it I don't exactly walk the walk

2188
02:38:36,360 --> 02:38:40,360
but I do kind of believe it where it's like I don't know man do whatever you want

2189
02:38:40,360 --> 02:38:44,360
like it's at a certain point who cares and you look at

2190
02:38:44,360 --> 02:38:48,360
so many other creators that don't care

2191
02:38:48,360 --> 02:38:52,360
and like I came across a like hype video

2192
02:38:52,360 --> 02:38:56,360
because I think it was like speed or something someone tried to make fun

2193
02:38:56,360 --> 02:39:00,360
of him because his his car got declined at like some restaurant

2194
02:39:00,360 --> 02:39:04,360
and he flexed that the watch he was wearing was like three million dollars

2195
02:39:04,360 --> 02:39:08,360
and it was like the music after he does that is like this like hype like

2196
02:39:08,360 --> 02:39:12,360
he's so sick and it does puts like filters on the frame and starts like shaking

2197
02:39:12,360 --> 02:39:16,360
the camera and stuff and they're like cheering for him because he has a three million

2198
02:39:16,360 --> 02:39:20,360
dollar watch or whatever I'm sure I misquoted all of that I don't care it's not the point

2199
02:39:20,360 --> 02:39:24,360
but I yeah cool I have an apple watch with a unicorn

2200
02:39:24,360 --> 02:39:28,360
on it yeah but it's like I don't know who cares

2201
02:39:28,360 --> 02:39:32,360
the yeah

2202
02:39:32,360 --> 02:39:36,360
especially in my opinion if you if you like try to make it

2203
02:39:36,360 --> 02:39:40,360
if it's a business venture and people do chart planes and they chart

2204
02:39:40,360 --> 02:39:44,360
yachts these are things that happen yeah so like it can be a legitimate business

2205
02:39:44,360 --> 02:39:48,360
and if you try to put a specific spin on it like it's the gamer

2206
02:39:48,360 --> 02:39:52,360
version then I don't know cool

2207
02:39:52,360 --> 02:39:56,360
I could absolutely see like some

2208
02:39:56,360 --> 02:40:00,360
baller old money person whatever I don't know they have a bachelor party and they want to do it on a gamer

2209
02:40:00,360 --> 02:40:04,360
yacht why not

2210
02:40:04,360 --> 02:40:08,360
my name is Jeb says you know yeah maybe don't give a f*** when it's your money on the line

2211
02:40:08,360 --> 02:40:12,360
but your employees rely on you to feed their families and it's questionable at that point

2212
02:40:12,360 --> 02:40:16,360
and that's 100% valid but

2213
02:40:16,360 --> 02:40:20,360
unless they're definitely going to be fine let me put it this way

2214
02:40:20,360 --> 02:40:24,360
the paychecks have never been late at Linus Media Group not once

2215
02:40:24,360 --> 02:40:28,360
in 12 years not once

2216
02:40:28,360 --> 02:40:32,360
you would never you would never see me

2217
02:40:32,360 --> 02:40:36,360
being irresponsible in such a way that it would impact our ability to make payroll

2218
02:40:36,360 --> 02:40:40,360
that has never happened that would never happen

2219
02:40:44,360 --> 02:40:48,360
I don't know is it interesting

2220
02:40:48,360 --> 02:40:52,360
is putting a computer on a yacht interesting

2221
02:40:52,360 --> 02:40:56,360
we do way more than a computer sir RG being a yacht

2222
02:40:56,360 --> 02:41:00,360
dude I got ideas for days I got ideas for days

2223
02:41:00,360 --> 02:41:04,360
you can see the fish that's a thing

2224
02:41:04,360 --> 02:41:08,360
are you going to jump it over a shark wait no do you

2225
02:41:08,360 --> 02:41:12,360
do you jump the shark over the boat or what's the

2226
02:41:12,360 --> 02:41:16,360
bigger shark jump Dan help me out here I think the shark jumping over the boat is cooler

2227
02:41:16,360 --> 02:41:20,360
yeah yeah can the shark be on fire

2228
02:41:20,360 --> 02:41:24,360
it should be on fire that's animal cruelty

2229
02:41:24,360 --> 02:41:28,360
you need to get a CG team we have an editing team

2230
02:41:28,360 --> 02:41:32,360
we need a computer graphic team so that they can set the shark on fire

2231
02:41:32,360 --> 02:41:36,360
and then you can water cool it the water is a water cooled shark

2232
02:41:36,360 --> 02:41:40,360
I think all sharks are water cooled whale land for whales cruise

2233
02:41:40,360 --> 02:41:44,360
ok no but seriously we're talking about in the pre-show if there is a tech yacht

2234
02:41:44,360 --> 02:41:48,360
and he could smack a bunch of starlink on it or something

2235
02:41:48,360 --> 02:41:52,360
and we could make a strong Wi-Fi bubble right next to because there's a pier

2236
02:41:52,360 --> 02:41:56,360
right next to where LTX normally happens we wouldn't have to buy convention internet

2237
02:41:56,360 --> 02:42:00,360
convention internet is incredibly expensive

2238
02:42:00,360 --> 02:42:04,360
what if we just did like Floatplane boat and all of the developers just

2239
02:42:04,360 --> 02:42:06,360
lived and worked on the boat

2240
02:42:08,360 --> 02:42:12,360
what I don't know if we're going to get buy it on that

2241
02:42:12,360 --> 02:42:16,360
yeah no I don't think anyone's going to want to do that I'm down

2242
02:42:16,360 --> 02:42:20,360
jeez you just want free housing

2243
02:42:20,360 --> 02:42:24,360
that's the problem with LMG we don't have a basement

2244
02:42:24,360 --> 02:42:28,360
for Luke to live in and now we don't

2245
02:42:28,360 --> 02:42:32,360
and the companies go on to hell that's it we don't have a basement

2246
02:42:32,360 --> 02:42:36,360
yeah I don't think we're going to get an answer today

2247
02:42:36,360 --> 02:42:40,360
it's been really interesting to see your guys' perspectives on it

2248
02:42:40,360 --> 02:42:44,360
you know I think you guys know that maybe to a fault

2249
02:42:44,360 --> 02:42:48,360
I take community feedback very seriously so I really do appreciate Floatplane chat

2250
02:42:48,360 --> 02:42:52,360
too much of it yeah jumping in here with their perspectives

2251
02:42:52,360 --> 02:42:56,360
but I really I don't actually see

2252
02:42:56,360 --> 02:43:00,360
another way forward other than just doing whatever

2253
02:43:02,360 --> 02:43:06,360
and just not worrying about you know people's perception because the reality of it is

2254
02:43:06,360 --> 02:43:10,360
like that's why you guys watched us

2255
02:43:10,360 --> 02:43:14,360
from day one was that we had cool stuff

2256
02:43:14,360 --> 02:43:18,360
that most people could never afford if you start exclusively make like some of the suggestions

2257
02:43:18,360 --> 02:43:22,360
that we're looking at here if you start exclusively making software content the channel will die

2258
02:43:22,360 --> 02:43:26,360
if you start exclusively making retro content the channel will die

2259
02:43:26,360 --> 02:43:30,360
you know that's the problem

2260
02:43:30,360 --> 02:43:34,360
is there's a finite amount of retro

2261
02:43:34,360 --> 02:43:38,360
and like maybe there's always the possibility of spin-off channels

2262
02:43:40,360 --> 02:43:44,360
maybe there's something there I kind of doubt it

2263
02:43:44,360 --> 02:43:48,360
there's already people that do that really well on YouTube

2264
02:43:48,360 --> 02:43:52,360
and I don't think there's enough

2265
02:43:52,360 --> 02:43:56,360
of like a reason to try to compete in that arena there's really good people in that arena

2266
02:43:56,360 --> 02:44:00,360
doing a really good job I feel like it's pretty saturated to be completely honest

2267
02:44:00,360 --> 02:44:04,360
I don't know what we could bring new to that that I think would be really good

2268
02:44:04,360 --> 02:44:08,360
Altar says I think there's a big difference between showcasing cool tech and needlessly

2269
02:44:08,360 --> 02:44:12,360
flaunting wealth I've always appreciated the learning and the journey of these videos

2270
02:44:12,360 --> 02:44:16,360
I don't think that will change and that is something that we try to do

2271
02:44:16,360 --> 02:44:20,360
you know I always talk to the writing team about what's the learning outcome

2272
02:44:20,360 --> 02:44:24,360
you know I'll say like hey that sounds like a funny scenario

2273
02:44:24,360 --> 02:44:28,360
but it also feels contrived if we aren't learning anything about it

2274
02:44:28,360 --> 02:44:32,360
or if we aren't learning anything by coming along on this journey and I don't think that's something

2275
02:44:32,360 --> 02:44:36,360
that we would lose track of however those learning outcomes

2276
02:44:36,360 --> 02:44:40,360
might not be that relatable they might not be that applicable

2277
02:44:40,360 --> 02:44:44,360
a lot of them aren't and that's okay automation systems for a boat

2278
02:44:44,360 --> 02:44:46,360
scientific study happens on a lot of things that

2279
02:44:48,360 --> 02:44:52,360
have questionable use increasing the body of knowledge regardless

2280
02:44:52,360 --> 02:44:56,360
Nooch says I feel Labs will be your legacy accountability and transparency in tech

2281
02:44:58,360 --> 02:45:02,360
it's going to be we're going to have an interesting test coming up

2282
02:45:02,360 --> 02:45:06,360
we're going to be doing a video on the main LTT channel that is all about

2283
02:45:06,360 --> 02:45:10,360
PSU circuit that is about

2284
02:45:10,360 --> 02:45:14,360
the incredible work that Lucas and

2285
02:45:14,360 --> 02:45:18,360
the other people who work on PSU circuit but realistically

2286
02:45:18,360 --> 02:45:22,360
mostly Lucas are doing to

2287
02:45:22,360 --> 02:45:26,360
really shed light on what power supplies are good and worth buying

2288
02:45:26,360 --> 02:45:30,360
this shows how our brain works I understand that is PSU circuit

2289
02:45:30,360 --> 02:45:34,360
but you're talking about PSU circuit and I went to the website and you went to the youtube channel

2290
02:45:34,360 --> 02:45:38,360
yeah sorry keep going

2291
02:45:38,360 --> 02:45:42,360
anyway they're doing really really great work and I think it's going to be

2292
02:45:42,360 --> 02:45:46,360
a real test of

2293
02:45:46,360 --> 02:45:50,360
how much we can get people to care about this to see how much

2294
02:45:50,360 --> 02:45:54,360
of a bump we see over here like how much of a

2295
02:45:54,360 --> 02:45:58,360
how much ongoing interest we can generate and to be clear

2296
02:45:58,360 --> 02:46:02,360
I want to make this extremely clear to Lucas and any Labs folks that might be watching

2297
02:46:02,360 --> 02:46:04,360
I'm committed to the lab

2298
02:46:06,360 --> 02:46:10,360
I also believe that that is the most important

2299
02:46:10,360 --> 02:46:14,360
thing that we are doing here right now is increasing

2300
02:46:14,360 --> 02:46:18,360
the general public's knowledge when they go to make a purchase decision

2301
02:46:18,360 --> 02:46:22,360
and we have learning to do yeah we're not perfect

2302
02:46:22,360 --> 02:46:26,360
but we are working on it and it is a goal

2303
02:46:26,360 --> 02:46:30,360
whether it's a 12 year goal or whether it's a 12 month goal

2304
02:46:30,360 --> 02:46:34,360
or realistically it's both because it's always a moving target

2305
02:46:34,360 --> 02:46:38,360
but what this is going to be an indicator for me of

2306
02:46:38,360 --> 02:46:42,360
is what the ceiling is on that

2307
02:46:42,360 --> 02:46:44,360
what the cap is on it

2308
02:46:46,360 --> 02:46:50,360
I hope that it's really high

2309
02:46:50,360 --> 02:46:54,360
I hope that people care a lot and I know the videos are not perfect right now

2310
02:46:54,360 --> 02:46:58,360
we've got the AI voice but I've seen

2311
02:46:58,360 --> 02:47:02,360
people critical of it like can't you even pay a voice over after doing the thing

2312
02:47:02,360 --> 02:47:06,360
and I'm like no no I can't

2313
02:47:06,360 --> 02:47:10,360
because when we get 4.8 thousand views

2314
02:47:10,360 --> 02:47:14,360
on something that is literally like I don't know 20 bucks

2315
02:47:14,360 --> 02:47:18,360
I'm not hiring anyone to do anything for 20 bucks

2316
02:47:18,360 --> 02:47:22,360
involved in any of this the testing is human

2317
02:47:22,360 --> 02:47:26,360
the testing is done by qualified skilled human

2318
02:47:26,360 --> 02:47:30,360
it's not really a financial play

2319
02:47:30,360 --> 02:47:34,360
just with the testing being human you already lose money on

2320
02:47:34,360 --> 02:47:38,360
every single one not even close

2321
02:47:38,360 --> 02:47:42,360
but it has a value

2322
02:47:42,360 --> 02:47:46,360
it's not about that I have

2323
02:47:46,360 --> 02:47:50,360
personally in terms of just like the emotional

2324
02:47:50,360 --> 02:47:54,360
burden that it lifts from me

2325
02:47:54,360 --> 02:47:58,360
of not having to worry when we talk about a power supply in one of our videos

2326
02:47:58,360 --> 02:48:02,360
because I know that Lucas looked at it like that's

2327
02:48:02,360 --> 02:48:06,360
I'll buy the power supply tester again hire Lucas again

2328
02:48:06,360 --> 02:48:10,360
that alone is 100% worth it for me oh Emily Seddon is watching

2329
02:48:10,360 --> 02:48:14,360
today says yay PSU circuit nice she does a lot of work there

2330
02:48:16,360 --> 02:48:20,360
yeah keep it up you guys this is important

2331
02:48:20,360 --> 02:48:24,360
anyway we've got an LTT coming where we're going to be looking at the test suite and like really talking about it

2332
02:48:24,360 --> 02:48:28,360
and there's a full dedicated video promoting it so I'm really excited about that

2333
02:48:32,360 --> 02:48:36,360
but other than that I think I'm just not going to give a f*** anymore then

2334
02:48:36,360 --> 02:48:40,360
nice will you read less comments along with that

2335
02:48:40,360 --> 02:48:44,360
nope I'm addicted you know it

2336
02:48:44,360 --> 02:48:48,360
for a von sake no

2337
02:48:48,360 --> 02:48:52,360
I mean that's typical addict behavior that's actually how you can define

2338
02:48:52,360 --> 02:48:56,360
addictive behavior is that regardless of the impact

2339
02:48:56,360 --> 02:49:00,360
on yourself and others you continue doing it

2340
02:49:00,360 --> 02:49:04,360
I am addicted to comments I still remember we were out

2341
02:49:04,360 --> 02:49:08,360
kayaking and you were trying to read comments while

2342
02:49:08,360 --> 02:49:12,360
we were kayaking yeah it makes sense you remember that I don't remember it

2343
02:49:12,360 --> 02:49:16,360
but it's probably because you're reading comments yeah probably no I mean I remember kayaking

2344
02:49:16,360 --> 02:49:20,360
yeah I don't remember reading comments while I was doing it it's unconscious

2345
02:49:20,360 --> 02:49:22,360
it's like

2346
02:49:24,360 --> 02:49:28,360
it's a lot I mean look

2347
02:49:28,360 --> 02:49:32,360
there are worse vices yeah

2348
02:49:32,360 --> 02:49:36,360
just saying there are

2349
02:49:36,360 --> 02:49:40,360
I could have way worse vices significantly

2350
02:49:40,360 --> 02:49:44,360
if that's my vice it's like

2351
02:49:44,360 --> 02:49:48,360
hi I'm Linus and I'm addicted to YouTube

2352
02:49:48,360 --> 02:49:52,360
come on it could be worse it could

2353
02:49:52,360 --> 02:49:56,360
I will give you that but it could also be better

2354
02:49:56,360 --> 02:50:00,360

alright I need to run to the washroom so Luke's going to pick a thing

2404
02:53:16,360 --> 02:53:20,360
I got a merch message for Luke oh nice wow thank you

2405
02:53:20,360 --> 02:53:24,360
I have one queued up already Luke

2406
02:53:24,360 --> 02:53:28,360
you said avoiding news felt wrong

2407
02:53:28,360 --> 02:53:32,360
why? any tips for balance? my wife follows it all and I ignore it

2408
02:53:32,360 --> 02:53:36,360
oh boy oh I'm sorry

2409
02:53:36,360 --> 02:53:40,360
no this feels like a pre-show topic more than a main show topic

2410
02:53:40,360 --> 02:53:44,360
but that didn't used to be true so let's send it anyways I don't know I feel like

2411
02:53:44,360 --> 02:53:48,360
being completely ignorant of what's happening in the world is not

2412
02:53:48,360 --> 02:53:52,360
good I appreciate personally

2413
02:53:52,360 --> 02:53:56,360
being able to hold the conversation about as many things as possible

2414
02:53:56,360 --> 02:54:00,360
with as many people as possible as something I've always tried to do like be

2415
02:54:00,360 --> 02:54:04,360
at least informed enough to talk about something with as many people as you can

2416
02:54:04,360 --> 02:54:08,360
I feel like there's a really effective way to learn is being able to have a conversation with someone

2417
02:54:08,360 --> 02:54:12,360
about something so if you completely just stick your head into the ground

2418
02:54:12,360 --> 02:54:16,360
and la la la and completely ignore everything happening in the world

2419
02:54:16,360 --> 02:54:20,360
I feel like you're just contributing to your own ignorance at the same

2420
02:54:20,360 --> 02:54:24,360
time if you let yourself

2421
02:54:24,360 --> 02:54:28,360
be heavily and deeply manipulated by the multi

2422
02:54:28,360 --> 02:54:32,360
multi-billion tens of billions many many thousands

2423
02:54:32,360 --> 02:54:36,360
tens of thousands of people who are employed in spending incredible amounts

2424
02:54:36,360 --> 02:54:40,360
of money to effectively mind control you into

2425
02:54:40,360 --> 02:54:44,360
reading more and scrolling more and never leaving apps and

2426
02:54:44,360 --> 02:54:48,360
spending money in different ways and doing things like that that you are also just letting yourself

2427
02:54:48,360 --> 02:54:52,360
be used so I would

2428
02:54:52,360 --> 02:54:56,360
employ personally like something that I do is time control

2429
02:54:56,360 --> 02:55:00,360
methods so like almost every app that could do

2430
02:55:00,360 --> 02:55:04,360
something like that to me on my phone has a time limit

2431
02:55:04,360 --> 02:55:08,360
on it where it will close if I keep it open for too long

2432
02:55:08,360 --> 02:55:12,360
a major frustration that I have with that is that

2433
02:55:12,360 --> 02:55:16,360
all of those in my experience unless all of those that are built into my phone

2434
02:55:16,360 --> 02:55:20,360
you might have a different experience maybe you know of some app that handles this

2435
02:55:20,360 --> 02:55:24,360
better for you but I don't have an external app for it the ones built into

2436
02:55:24,360 --> 02:55:28,360
my phone naturally it's far too easy to bypass

2437
02:55:28,360 --> 02:55:32,360
so either you have enough will power it I don't personally have a problem with this

2438
02:55:32,360 --> 02:55:36,360
but either you have enough willpower to listen to it when it tells you that you know

2439
02:55:36,360 --> 02:55:40,360
you've spent 15 minutes in the YouTube app you should get out

2440
02:55:40,360 --> 02:55:44,360
or if you can't find a

2441
02:55:44,360 --> 02:55:48,360
more severe method that will not allow you to keep going

2442
02:55:50,360 --> 02:55:54,360
but yeah I think it's just have more control of your own life

2443
02:55:54,360 --> 02:55:58,360
but don't completely stick your head in the ground I think you should know what's happening in the world

2444
02:55:58,360 --> 02:56:02,360
I think you should be informed but I think just reading

2445
02:56:02,360 --> 02:56:06,360
negative news for 12 hours a day which is legitimately something a lot

2446
02:56:06,360 --> 02:56:08,360
of people actually effectively do

2447
02:56:10,360 --> 02:56:14,360
is horrifying for your brain it's really really really bad for your brain

2448
02:56:16,360 --> 02:56:20,360
so go touch some grass go do something else spend time with people in your life

2449
02:56:20,360 --> 02:56:24,360
in person there's a lot of things I talked about this before but like automated

2450
02:56:24,360 --> 02:56:28,360
checkouts automated everything there's a lot of ways these days to

2451
02:56:28,360 --> 02:56:32,360
not interact with people and then

2452
02:56:32,360 --> 02:56:36,360
you're interacting with AI systems often that are overly nice to you

2453
02:56:36,360 --> 02:56:40,360
so you I think as a people we are like

2454
02:56:40,360 --> 02:56:44,360
losing our ability to understand that

2455
02:56:44,360 --> 02:56:48,360
everyone else is going through horrifying things every day as well

2456
02:56:48,360 --> 02:56:52,360
like if you think you have problems everybody has problems

2457
02:56:52,360 --> 02:56:56,360
right and I think we kind of lose that empathy when you're not interfacing with people often

2458
02:56:56,360 --> 02:57:00,360
you don't experience that so yeah again I don't know

2459
02:57:00,360 --> 02:57:04,360
find your own middle ground use tools to fight

2460
02:57:04,360 --> 02:57:08,360
because the way that I've described this in the past is the world

2461
02:57:08,360 --> 02:57:12,360
is a constant PVP environment there is no escaping it

2462
02:57:12,360 --> 02:57:16,360
ever ever so understand

2463
02:57:16,360 --> 02:57:20,360
that there are more money than you could ever possibly

2464
02:57:20,360 --> 02:57:24,360
properly fathom and tens and tens of thousands

2465
02:57:24,360 --> 02:57:28,360
maybe I don't even know amount of people trying to fight actively

2466
02:57:28,360 --> 02:57:32,360
for your attention and your time and you should try to

2467
02:57:32,360 --> 02:57:36,360
win that as much as you can it doesn't mean you should completely ignore it

2468
02:57:36,360 --> 02:57:40,360
but you should try to win that control your own time

2469
02:57:40,360 --> 02:57:44,360
don't let yourself spiral don't let yourself death

2470
02:57:44,360 --> 02:57:48,360
death scroll or whatever it's called doom doom scroll

2471
02:57:48,360 --> 02:57:52,360
and get out of that and then hopefully your life is better

2472
02:57:52,360 --> 02:57:56,360
and he's back and part of that also

2473
02:57:56,360 --> 02:58:00,360
merch message for Linus when are you doing more women's underwear

2474
02:58:02,360 --> 02:58:06,360
we had a long conversation about that

2475
02:58:06,360 --> 02:58:10,360
on one of my Mondays off you know how I'm off on Mondays

2476
02:58:10,360 --> 02:58:14,360
like Luke takes vacation I had like a

2477
02:58:14,360 --> 02:58:18,360
I had like a three hour meeting with the merch team and one of the

2478
02:58:18,360 --> 02:58:22,360
things that we discussed was what the heck is our strategy going to be

2479
02:58:22,360 --> 02:58:26,360
for women's apparel and the

2480
02:58:26,360 --> 02:58:30,360
challenge is that I think the fashion team did an

2481
02:58:30,360 --> 02:58:34,360
outstanding job the women's clothing obviously I don't wear it but

2482
02:58:34,360 --> 02:58:38,360
I live with someone who wears it regularly and who

2483
02:58:38,360 --> 02:58:42,360
you know let me put it this way can afford nice clothes

2484
02:58:42,360 --> 02:58:46,360
even though she's often too cheap to buy them but anyway my wife

2485
02:58:46,360 --> 02:58:50,360
she can afford perfectly nice clothes and she has some very nice clothes

2486
02:58:50,360 --> 02:58:54,360
and often gravitates towards her women's underwear

2487
02:58:54,360 --> 02:58:58,360
our women's underwear and bras and clothes and stuff

2488
02:58:58,360 --> 02:59:02,360
loves it so I think the fashion team did

2489
02:59:02,360 --> 02:59:06,360
just an outstanding job of the design of the product but there's nothing that they can do

2490
02:59:06,360 --> 02:59:10,360
about the fact that our viewer demographics are like

2491
02:59:10,360 --> 02:59:14,360
97% male 96% male or whatever it works out to

2492
02:59:14,360 --> 02:59:18,360
so with that in mind our

2493
02:59:18,360 --> 02:59:22,360
women's products have not been commercially

2494
02:59:22,360 --> 02:59:26,360
very successful we've sold some

2495
02:59:26,360 --> 02:59:30,360
we've moved a little bit at launch and it would trickle out a little bit over time

2496
02:59:30,360 --> 02:59:34,360
and then we'd have to kind of blow it away and that's not profitable, that's not sustainable

2497
02:59:34,360 --> 02:59:38,360
so part of part of Teran's

2498
02:59:38,360 --> 02:59:42,360
look at what exactly the crap it is that we're doing

2499
02:59:42,360 --> 02:59:46,360
in the various parts of our business it's been almost two years

2500
02:59:46,360 --> 02:59:50,360
since he started it feels like it's been longer

2501
02:59:50,360 --> 02:59:54,360
has been trying to be a little bit more focused and intentful in our product launches

2502
02:59:54,360 --> 02:59:58,360
how do we control risk, how do we

2503
02:59:58,360 --> 03:00:02,360
mitigate that calculated risk that we're taking

2504
03:00:02,360 --> 03:00:06,360
with an exit strategy for any project whether it's women's underwear

2505
03:00:06,360 --> 03:00:10,360
weird elaborate video idea whatever it is

2506
03:00:10,360 --> 03:00:14,360
how do we mitigate that risk we have

2507
03:00:14,360 --> 03:00:18,360
as part of that, as sort of taking a step back and looking and going, okay, what are we doing right now

2508
03:00:18,360 --> 03:00:22,360
we paused some women's apparel products

2509
03:00:22,360 --> 03:00:26,360
projects that were that were on their way to being launched

2510
03:00:26,360 --> 03:00:30,360
and we blew out and didn't reorder some of the ones

2511
03:00:30,360 --> 03:00:34,360
that were not selling and were not sustainable or profitable for the business

2512
03:00:36,360 --> 03:00:40,360
however in the three hour meeting we had a

2513
03:00:40,360 --> 03:00:44,360
longer conversation about hey, you guys enjoy working on these

2514
03:00:44,360 --> 03:00:48,360
you enjoy wearing them a lot of the fashion team is women

2515
03:00:48,360 --> 03:00:52,360
and making products that they can use right, who doesn't

2516
03:00:52,360 --> 03:00:56,360
that's something that as a company

2517
03:00:56,360 --> 03:01:00,360
we want to try to support right

2518
03:01:00,360 --> 03:01:04,360
but we have to do things that are sustainable and make sense

2519
03:01:04,360 --> 03:01:08,360
so how do we do that and one of the things that I kind of pitched them

2520
03:01:08,360 --> 03:01:12,360
is like, okay, we have a product that you guys know is great

2521
03:01:12,360 --> 03:01:16,360
that I know is great because Yvonne freaking loves hers

2522
03:01:16,360 --> 03:01:20,360
and says they're competitive with brands that cost literally like 40%

2523
03:01:20,360 --> 03:01:22,360
80% more

2524
03:01:24,360 --> 03:01:28,360
why don't we get this one over the line and when I push it to the audience

2525
03:01:28,360 --> 03:01:32,360
when I present it to the audience I'm basically going to do it in a bit of a different way

2526
03:01:32,360 --> 03:01:36,360
and I'm going to kind of go look guys so

2527
03:01:36,360 --> 03:01:40,360
I'm not going to ask you to buy this if you don't need one

2528
03:01:40,360 --> 03:01:44,360
you know, if you like this category of product, I'm not sure if I want to tell you guys

2529
03:01:44,360 --> 03:01:48,360
what it is yet, but whatever it is if you guys like this category of product

2530
03:01:48,360 --> 03:01:52,360
and you happen to buy one I've no idea what this is for

2531
03:01:52,360 --> 03:01:56,360
if you like it please do something

2532
03:01:56,360 --> 03:02:00,360
so we can keep making it tell somebody

2533
03:02:00,360 --> 03:02:04,360
you know that we did

2534
03:02:04,360 --> 03:02:08,360
sponsoring other tech creators would you ever sponsor

2535
03:02:08,360 --> 03:02:12,360
demographics on YouTube that are more

2536
03:02:12,360 --> 03:02:16,360
like female shifted honestly I know what they would do

2537
03:02:16,360 --> 03:02:20,360
maybe it's like my own insecurity but I kind of look at it and I go like

2538
03:02:20,360 --> 03:02:24,360
who wants a clothing sponsorship from us because we don't have a full

2539
03:02:24,360 --> 03:02:28,360
people who like money but we don't have a full lineup

2540
03:02:28,360 --> 03:02:32,360
everyone I can't do like an underwear sponsorship

2541
03:02:32,360 --> 03:02:36,360
and then have people land on our site and the only thing we have is underwear like it's hard to get the

2542
03:02:36,360 --> 03:02:40,360
it's hard to get the ball rolling we're not really a feminine clothing

2543
03:02:40,360 --> 03:02:44,360
brand and so we're not going to get the ROI out, I can tell you right now

2544
03:02:44,360 --> 03:02:48,360
we are not going to get the ROI out of that sponsorship at all, not even close

2545
03:02:48,360 --> 03:02:52,360
we're basically just gifting money which I mean sure

2546
03:02:52,360 --> 03:02:56,360
we thought we will do and have done sponsorships for our

2547
03:02:56,360 --> 03:03:00,360
products that we knew were just essentially just gifting the money

2548
03:03:00,360 --> 03:03:04,360
I'm saying this I know you're aware a lot of marketing isn't about

2549
03:03:04,360 --> 03:03:08,360
the measurable ROI for that piece of marketing, I'm saying this mostly for them

2550
03:03:08,360 --> 03:03:12,360
there's the whole funnel, awareness I get it

2551
03:03:12,360 --> 03:03:16,360
but even from an awareness perspective when I say ROI I don't necessarily mean

2552
03:03:16,360 --> 03:03:20,360
money I mean some return

2553
03:03:20,360 --> 03:03:24,360
here's a weird idea I'm not trying to go

2554
03:03:24,360 --> 03:03:28,360
out most of the world is in

2555
03:03:28,360 --> 03:03:32,360
hetero relationships I'm not saying everyone is but

2556
03:03:32,360 --> 03:03:36,360
what if you did it shortly before like Father's Day or something

2557
03:03:36,360 --> 03:03:40,360
so they would go there to buy their own underwear or whatever

2558
03:03:40,360 --> 03:03:44,360
and then see that there's other potential gifts that they could buy or shortly before Christmas

2559
03:03:46,360 --> 03:03:50,360
I don't know because it could be for their

2560
03:03:50,360 --> 03:03:54,360
husband or their partner or it could be for a dad

2561
03:03:54,360 --> 03:03:58,360
who knows Valentine's Day, that's a pretty good one

2562
03:03:58,360 --> 03:04:02,360
the issue is not selling the men's stuff though, like that's fine

2563
03:04:02,360 --> 03:04:06,360
yeah but you're doing that marketing anyways I'm saying like maybe

2564
03:04:06,360 --> 03:04:08,360
you can double dip slightly

2565
03:04:10,360 --> 03:04:14,360
I think that's something that I would have to lean on like Sammy and Artie

2566
03:04:14,360 --> 03:04:18,360
and Dave and stuff to kind of look at because that's one of my

2567
03:04:18,360 --> 03:04:22,360
expertise one of our problems is that we make really killer stuff

2568
03:04:22,360 --> 03:04:26,360
but not everyone really knows about it yeah definitely

2569
03:04:26,360 --> 03:04:30,360
and if you know if our demographic is only 4% women

2570
03:04:30,360 --> 03:04:34,360
I can check that and then we make women stuff

2571
03:04:34,360 --> 03:04:38,360
very few of the women of the world are gonna know that we made this

2572
03:04:38,360 --> 03:04:42,360
so like at a certain point we have to tell them

2573
03:04:42,360 --> 03:04:46,360
well I guess what I'm saying is I will need at least some

2574
03:04:46,360 --> 03:04:48,360
of your help

2575
03:04:50,360 --> 03:04:54,360
you know what, screw it they're yoga pants

2576
03:04:54,360 --> 03:04:58,360
they're really good they're like killer

2577
03:04:58,360 --> 03:05:02,360
and obviously like we have kind of a tech angle on it

2578
03:05:02,360 --> 03:05:06,360
they have decent pockets whoa

2579
03:05:06,360 --> 03:05:10,360
so it would be pretty cool

2580
03:05:10,360 --> 03:05:14,360
and it's a great product we'd already done multiple sample rounds and like it was

2581
03:05:14,360 --> 03:05:18,360
essentially done and then we were just like we pumped the brakes

2582
03:05:18,360 --> 03:05:22,360
and we're gonna do it and you know let

2583
03:05:22,360 --> 03:05:26,360
help us out chat's freaking out about the pockets

2584
03:05:26,360 --> 03:05:30,360
well yeah of course they are it's like we can

2585
03:05:30,360 --> 03:05:34,360
you should have just said that what

2586
03:05:34,360 --> 03:05:38,360
Dan in Floatplane chat instead of just saying it said I need to get back into doing squats then

2587
03:05:40,360 --> 03:05:44,360
yoga pants programming socks

2588
03:05:44,360 --> 03:05:48,360
we got a gym at smash champs we have programming socks?

2589
03:05:48,360 --> 03:05:52,360
we should we totally should

2590
03:05:54,360 --> 03:05:58,360
so I actually was I was pretty bang on

2591
03:05:58,360 --> 03:06:02,360
95.5% male 3.3% female

2592
03:06:02,360 --> 03:06:06,360
1.2% user specified so there you go

2593
03:06:06,360 --> 03:06:10,360
hey there's the age demo in case you guys were wondering, no LTT is not for kids

2594
03:06:10,360 --> 03:06:14,360
it's for 25 to 34s you're lying

2595
03:06:14,360 --> 03:06:18,360
people like knowledgably talk about how

2596
03:06:18,360 --> 03:06:22,360
the discerning viewer watches whatever and LTT is for children

2597
03:06:22,360 --> 03:06:26,360
no it's not, it's just for people who have a sense of f***ing humor

2598
03:06:28,360 --> 03:06:32,360
alright what else we got today I have two more merch messages for you

2599
03:06:32,360 --> 03:06:36,360
good lord, alright hit me I just bought a UPS to protect my setup

2600
03:06:36,360 --> 03:06:40,360
how does it clean up Ethernet and coax I understand the electrical waves

2601
03:06:40,360 --> 03:06:44,360
but the internet ports confuse me an avid fan waiting for a work promotion

2602
03:06:44,360 --> 03:06:48,360
to join flowplay have never understood or used them

2603
03:06:48,360 --> 03:06:52,360
actually exactly the same for me

2604
03:06:52,360 --> 03:06:56,360
I kind of thought it was almost like a a grounding isolation or something

2605
03:06:56,360 --> 03:07:00,360
just a bridging point I thought like you just want all your cables going there

2606
03:07:00,360 --> 03:07:04,360
I've never used either of them I have no idea

2607
03:07:04,360 --> 03:07:08,360
we are a bad resource for this question I apologize cool, yeah

2608
03:07:08,360 --> 03:07:12,360
go ask on Quora Ethernet?

2609
03:07:12,360 --> 03:07:16,360
if it hits your house with the internet that is in the house you got the tubes

2610
03:07:16,360 --> 03:07:20,360
you got too much data there's too much data

2611
03:07:20,360 --> 03:07:24,360
it can only do one gig you're sitting at 1.4 it's going to explode

2612
03:07:24,360 --> 03:07:28,360
aux champion says I've had a surge at a workplace that fried some Ethernet ports

2613
03:07:28,360 --> 03:07:32,360
coax makes sense too but Ethernet would have to be

2614
03:07:32,360 --> 03:07:36,360
lightning coms data transfer

2615
03:07:36,360 --> 03:07:40,360
if you plug like 10 gig I doubt it

2616
03:07:40,360 --> 03:07:44,360
I don't know what a wonderful question

2617
03:07:44,360 --> 03:07:48,360
chicken sloop says my Eaton only does 100 megabit per second on its protected jack

2618
03:07:48,360 --> 03:07:52,360
see that could be a problem what is that for?

2619
03:07:52,360 --> 03:07:56,360
induced voltage into the line maybe how does that work with PoE?

2620
03:07:56,360 --> 03:08:00,360
that seems so crazy though I'm just not going to do it

2621
03:08:00,360 --> 03:08:04,360
I'm going to live on the wild side if my Ethernet port gets fried

2622
03:08:04,360 --> 03:08:08,360
I'm going to do something I'm going to get an Ethernet card

2623
03:08:08,360 --> 03:08:12,360
and I'm going to put it in my computer dang

2624
03:08:12,360 --> 03:08:16,360
in current year people aren't going to like it

2625
03:08:16,360 --> 03:08:20,360
look at lines with this bougie Ethernet card what a loser

2626
03:08:20,360 --> 03:08:24,360
flexing his Ethernet card like some kind of chode

2627
03:08:24,360 --> 03:08:28,360
you would probably get a ridiculous one I'm going to get a killer neck

2628
03:08:28,360 --> 03:08:32,360
never would they have the big days on them this guy

2629
03:08:32,360 --> 03:08:36,360
still have one so much money you can afford

2630
03:08:36,360 --> 03:08:40,360
I've got a necklace that is a killer neck

2631
03:08:40,360 --> 03:08:44,360
that is sick one percent

2632
03:08:44,360 --> 03:08:48,360
or stuff he got that when he was far below

2633
03:08:48,360 --> 03:08:52,360
one percent one percent grind sets on mindset

2634
03:08:52,360 --> 03:08:56,360
he's always been there this is it

2635
03:08:56,360 --> 03:09:00,360
how did you find that picture oh my god

2636
03:09:00,360 --> 03:09:04,360
someone else has one I know the heatsink was a thing

2637
03:09:04,360 --> 03:09:08,360
I didn't think the I didn't think the necklaces were a thing

2638
03:09:08,360 --> 03:09:12,360
I knew about the necklace before I saw yours that's hilarious

2639
03:09:12,360 --> 03:09:16,360
I had no idea that is the coolest thing

2640
03:09:16,360 --> 03:09:20,360
someone is selling this right now I want another one

2641
03:09:20,360 --> 03:09:24,360
35 bucks this is going to be sold so fast

2642
03:09:24,360 --> 03:09:28,360
this is sold immediately they were crazy to

2643
03:09:28,360 --> 03:09:32,360
market down from 50 bucks they easily got 50 bucks

2644
03:09:32,360 --> 03:09:36,360
they didn't know they were going to randomly end up on Wanshow you got them

2645
03:09:36,360 --> 03:09:40,360
this is the this looked crazy back in the day

2646
03:09:40,360 --> 03:09:44,360
I need to start turning some of my old crap that has cool logos on it into jewelry

2647
03:09:44,360 --> 03:09:48,360
yeah that would be a cool trick you should turn some tricks

2648
03:09:48,360 --> 03:09:50,360
yeah

2649
03:09:52,360 --> 03:09:56,360
this guy in my life is going to get very angry if I start doing that off the side

2650
03:09:56,360 --> 03:10:00,360
but how about another merch message does he have a feathered cap?

2651
03:10:00,360 --> 03:10:02,360
you don't know that

2652
03:10:04,360 --> 03:10:08,360
this hat is not relevant hey LLD

2653
03:10:08,360 --> 03:10:12,360
odds on the NVIDIA Shield 2 happening if not we will be stuck

2654
03:10:12,360 --> 03:10:16,360
with an ad invested boxes from Google or Amazon or Apple or will someone else

2655
03:10:16,360 --> 03:10:20,360
make a top competitor with decent specs and AI features I think I've

2656
03:10:20,360 --> 03:10:24,360
I think I've talked about my conspiracy theory that NVIDIA just doesn't bother

2657
03:10:24,360 --> 03:10:28,360
until Nintendo orders

2658
03:10:28,360 --> 03:10:32,360
a bunch of SOCs in bulk and then they'll just like use that or something

2659
03:10:32,360 --> 03:10:36,360
that's my theory I think that the Shield 2 is going to be like

2660
03:10:36,360 --> 03:10:40,360
a modified Switch 2 that seems like

2661
03:10:40,360 --> 03:10:44,360
a pretty legit theory it's sold really

2662
03:10:44,360 --> 03:10:48,360
someone already bought it and it's gone

2663
03:10:48,360 --> 03:10:52,360
yeah the Shield is overkill Campbell for certain things

2664
03:10:52,360 --> 03:10:56,360
but we needed updated for AI upscaling because I think it only does AI upscaling

2665
03:10:56,360 --> 03:11:00,360
up to I forget the resolutions

2666
03:11:00,360 --> 03:11:04,360
that it works at but it needs believe it or not it's like the one

2667
03:11:04,360 --> 03:11:08,360
product in my life that I'm like needs more AI

2668
03:11:08,360 --> 03:11:12,360
because the upscaling on it is really good now but it could be better

2669
03:11:12,360 --> 03:11:16,360
it's first firmware update in like 2 years and it fixes

2670
03:11:16,360 --> 03:11:20,360
some small bugs but there's still some stuff because it's still on HDMI 1.4

2671
03:11:20,360 --> 03:11:24,360
if I recall wait is it HDMI 1.4

2672
03:11:24,360 --> 03:11:28,360
NVIDIA, Shield, Pro HDMI

2673
03:11:28,360 --> 03:11:32,360
why is 2.1 auto complete does not have an HDMI 2.1

2674
03:11:32,360 --> 03:11:36,360
yeah I forget I think it's HDMI 1.4

2675
03:11:36,360 --> 03:11:40,360
is it it's not 2.0 is it

2676
03:11:40,360 --> 03:11:44,360
guys tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me in chat I forget

2677
03:11:46,360 --> 03:11:50,360
what HDMI oh no it's 2.0 it can do 4k 60

2678
03:11:50,360 --> 03:11:54,360
but anyway I want I want HDMI 2.1 I want more AI

2679
03:11:54,360 --> 03:11:58,360
and other than that I don't think I really care I mean it'd be nice if it could run

2680
03:11:58,360 --> 03:12:02,360
Android games better but I don't really play those on it so this I found

2681
03:12:02,360 --> 03:12:06,360
now people are telling me it's 1.4 which one is it I know it's got it's got to

2682
03:12:06,360 --> 03:12:10,360
be 2.0 doesn't it help me out guys

2683
03:12:12,360 --> 03:12:16,360
I found the like what is this

2684
03:12:16,360 --> 03:12:20,360
hold on a second this is the

2685
03:12:20,360 --> 03:12:24,360
2007 tech promo for

2686
03:12:24,360 --> 03:12:28,360
2.0 apparently 2.0 okay so the

2687
03:12:28,360 --> 03:12:32,360
2007 tech promo for killer networking cards winning his speed

2688
03:12:32,360 --> 03:12:36,360
winning his performance winning his killer ultimate ping

2689
03:12:36,360 --> 03:12:38,360
ping throttle max FPS game first

2690
03:12:40,360 --> 03:12:44,360
it was it was so serious they were very serious

2691
03:12:44,360 --> 03:12:48,360
now I just don't install their drivers because they make my computer worse oh yeah

2692
03:12:48,360 --> 03:12:52,360
100% out of the mighty fall Dan do you want to give me some audio

2693
03:12:52,360 --> 03:12:56,360
sure okay we ready

2694
03:12:56,360 --> 03:13:00,360
I think so oh let's go

2695
03:13:00,360 --> 03:13:04,360
that should be playing it it's not just a network card

2696
03:13:04,360 --> 03:13:08,360
it's a killer I knew that voice was coming

2697
03:13:08,360 --> 03:13:10,360
that's a good voice

2698
03:13:14,360 --> 03:13:18,360
oh stop handicapping yourself

2699
03:13:18,360 --> 03:13:22,360
oh oh it's been 14 years

2700
03:13:22,360 --> 03:13:26,360
killer bypass is your slower network stack

2701
03:13:28,360 --> 03:13:32,360
and offloads to killer's own Lennox computer on a card

2702
03:13:32,360 --> 03:13:36,360
whoa killer has been optimized for online gaming performance

2703
03:13:40,360 --> 03:13:44,360
it's not just a network card it's a killer

2704
03:13:52,360 --> 03:13:56,360
and they sold tons of these I personally know at least two people

2705
03:13:56,360 --> 03:14:00,360
that bought them literally just because they looked cool I'm not kidding

2706
03:14:00,360 --> 03:14:04,360
figured it out after the fact yep you know one of them

2707
03:14:04,360 --> 03:14:06,360
I bet you can

2708
03:14:08,360 --> 03:14:12,360
don't but I bet you can all I'll say is one letter

2709
03:14:12,360 --> 03:14:16,360
the letter is H

2710
03:14:20,360 --> 03:14:24,360
I knew he would get it I knew he would get it

2711
03:14:26,360 --> 03:14:28,360
I think the other person was his friend

2712
03:14:34,360 --> 03:14:38,360
anyways online games get better

2713
03:14:38,360 --> 03:14:42,360
all the time but what about your network card

2714
03:14:44,360 --> 03:14:48,360
it's a killer oh man

2715
03:14:48,360 --> 03:14:52,360
I will never forget this video

2716
03:14:52,360 --> 03:14:56,360
I will never forget it good stuff

2717
03:14:56,360 --> 03:15:00,360
are we still doing merch messages no now just do topics until you're done

2718
03:15:00,360 --> 03:15:04,360
cool tech plane update speaking of

2719
03:15:04,360 --> 03:15:08,360
not giving any f***s anymore actually no let's do that later

2720
03:15:08,360 --> 03:15:12,360
let's get through the real topics first the UK

2721
03:15:12,360 --> 03:15:16,360
will not tighten laws to protect against games being shut down

2722
03:15:16,360 --> 03:15:20,360
in a lengthy response to a petition created in response to Ubisoft's shutdown

2723
03:15:20,360 --> 03:15:24,360
of the crew the UK government announced that it has no plans to change

2724
03:15:24,360 --> 03:15:28,360
consumer laws around digital obsolescence the government went on to explain that the game companies

2725
03:15:28,360 --> 03:15:32,360
are bound by existing consumer protection legislation including 2015's

2726
03:15:32,360 --> 03:15:36,360
the consumer rights act and 2008's consumer protection from unfair

2727
03:15:36,360 --> 03:15:40,360
trading regulations and if customers are led to believe a game

2728
03:15:40,360 --> 03:15:44,360
will remain playable indefinitely for certain systems despite the end of physical support

2729
03:15:44,360 --> 03:15:48,360
the CPR may require the game to remain technically feasible for example available

2730
03:15:48,360 --> 03:15:52,360
offline to play under those circumstances opinion Jordan Block the government's

2731
03:15:52,360 --> 03:15:56,360
response spent a lot of time government explaining that businesses need

2732
03:15:56,360 --> 03:16:00,360
to make money but it also appears that they think existing laws may be enough

2733
03:16:00,360 --> 03:16:04,360
if they are properly enforced which

2734
03:16:04,360 --> 03:16:08,360
someone would have to force them to do which seems very unlikely

2735
03:16:08,360 --> 03:16:12,360
at this time also UK related

2736
03:16:12,360 --> 03:16:16,360
but the UK has demanded access to Apple users encrypted

2737
03:16:16,360 --> 03:16:20,360
data the Washington Post reports that the UK

2738
03:16:20,360 --> 03:16:24,360
home office has demanded that Apple create a backdoor to allow government

2739
03:16:24,360 --> 03:16:28,360
access to encrypted data stored on iCloud by Apple users worldwide

2740
03:16:28,360 --> 03:16:32,360
using what Apple called advanced data protection or ADP

2741
03:16:32,360 --> 03:16:36,360
the demand was made under the UK Investigatory Powers Act of 2016

2742
03:16:36,360 --> 03:16:40,360
which makes it a criminal offence to reveal that the government has ever made such a demand

2743
03:16:40,360 --> 03:16:44,360
Apple can appear to Apple can appeal

2744
03:16:44,360 --> 03:16:48,360
I think what?

2745
03:16:48,360 --> 03:16:52,360
Apple can appeal to a secret technical panel

2746
03:16:52,360 --> 03:16:56,360
but cannot delay complying during an appeal

2747
03:16:56,360 --> 03:17:00,360
no way the US government has previously

2748
03:17:00,360 --> 03:17:04,360
asked for this but Apple has pointedly refused currently

2749
03:17:04,360 --> 03:17:08,360
only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way Apple itself

2750
03:17:08,360 --> 03:17:12,360
cannot view it Apple has previously said it would pull encryption services

2751
03:17:12,360 --> 03:17:16,360
like ADP from the UK market rather than comply with such government demands

2752
03:17:16,360 --> 03:17:20,360
telling parliament it would never build a backdoor in its products

2753
03:17:20,360 --> 03:17:24,360
however pulling encryption services is

2754
03:17:24,360 --> 03:17:28,360
worse in my opinion

2755
03:17:28,360 --> 03:17:32,360
the UK and FBI in particular have said that encryption

2756
03:17:32,360 --> 03:17:36,360
lets terrorists and child abusers hide more easily tech companies have pushed back

2757
03:17:36,360 --> 03:17:40,360
stressing a right to privacy and personal communication and arguing that

2758
03:17:40,360 --> 03:17:44,360
backdoors for law enforcement are often exploited by criminals and can be abused

2759
03:17:44,360 --> 03:17:48,360
by authoritarian regimes I don't know if I agree about the pulling encryption thing

2760
03:17:48,360 --> 03:17:52,360
and let me explain why on the surface level I do think I agree with you

2761
03:17:52,360 --> 03:17:56,360
but if they build a backdoor I think that gives other parties

2762
03:17:56,360 --> 03:18:00,360
like the FBI a stronger argument

2763
03:18:00,360 --> 03:18:04,360
for like hey give us that too sure

2764
03:18:04,360 --> 03:18:08,360
I think if they're just like we are literally never doing that then they don't open that box

2765
03:18:08,360 --> 03:18:12,360
they don't open that door if they just take away ADP

2766
03:18:12,360 --> 03:18:16,360
then that gives the US government the ability to say

2767
03:18:16,360 --> 03:18:20,360
hey take it away here too I don't know I think it's the exact same thing

2768
03:18:20,360 --> 03:18:24,360
personally I'm less likely to do that though

2769
03:18:24,360 --> 03:18:28,360
because the US government supports encryption I mean the US government

2770
03:18:28,360 --> 03:18:32,360
seems to change its stance on it every four years the US government does a 180

2771
03:18:32,360 --> 03:18:36,360
because the last guy the last guy loved it

2772
03:18:36,360 --> 03:18:40,360
why f***ing hate it a few months ago the US government supported encryption

2773
03:18:40,360 --> 03:18:44,360
who knows what they do now discussion question

2774
03:18:44,360 --> 03:18:46,360
who are the good guys at this point

2775
03:18:48,360 --> 03:18:52,360
I don't know anyway UK keep UK

2776
03:18:52,360 --> 03:18:56,360
and AMD has outsold Intel

2777
03:18:56,360 --> 03:19:00,360
in the data center for the first time ever

2778
03:19:00,360 --> 03:19:04,360
genuinely crazy on Tuesday AMD announced their Q4 2024 earnings

2779
03:19:04,360 --> 03:19:08,360
and for the first time they beat Intel in the data center

2780
03:19:08,360 --> 03:19:12,360
their revenue in Q4 2024 was 7.858 billion up 24% year over year

2781
03:19:12,360 --> 03:19:16,360
and their data center business accounted for nearly half of that

2782
03:19:16,360 --> 03:19:20,360
totaling 3.89 billion a nice

2783
03:19:20,360 --> 03:19:24,360
69% increase year over year the funny thing about this is that Intel's data center revenue

2784
03:19:24,360 --> 03:19:28,360
was 3.4 billion making it the first time in history

2785
03:19:28,360 --> 03:19:32,360
oh no this is just the same thing again anyway that said

2786
03:19:32,360 --> 03:19:36,360
analysts were expecting more from AMD with their instinct MI300 series

2787
03:19:36,360 --> 03:19:38,360
AI GPUs failing to catch on

2788
03:19:40,360 --> 03:19:44,360
why can't people just be like why can't we just celebrate wins

2789
03:19:44,360 --> 03:19:48,360
that's an insane historical win I am disappointed absolutely wild

2790
03:19:48,360 --> 03:19:52,360
hell yeah do you want to do one

2791
03:19:52,360 --> 03:19:56,360
sure tech plane update I'm kidding not yet

2792
03:19:56,360 --> 03:20:00,360
let's see here oh there's not much left yeah we're pretty close

2793
03:20:00,360 --> 03:20:04,360
UK UK AMD tech plane

2794
03:20:04,360 --> 03:20:08,360
why are you reading all the collapsed ones Rooster Teeth is under

2795
03:20:08,360 --> 03:20:12,360
management Rooster Teeth media company

2796
03:20:12,360 --> 03:20:16,360
and Rooster Teeth the media company and YouTube channel was shut down last year

2797
03:20:16,360 --> 03:20:20,360
on May 15th 2024 after a slow decline in viewership

2798
03:20:20,360 --> 03:20:24,360
two days ago February 5th the YouTube channel posted a video

2799
03:20:24,360 --> 03:20:28,360
titled homecoming which was actually it was pretty good

2800
03:20:28,360 --> 03:20:32,360
which shows original co-founder Bernie Burns amazing name

2801
03:20:32,360 --> 03:20:36,360
walking back into the original building that was the Rooster Teeth office

2802
03:20:36,360 --> 03:20:40,360
as well as a blog post that was posted on their website stating that he and his wife

2803
03:20:40,360 --> 03:20:44,360
Ashley have acquired Rooster Teeth Rooster Teeth

2804
03:20:44,360 --> 03:20:48,360
the direction Rooster Teeth will be taking going forward is still unclear the only things that are

2805
03:20:48,360 --> 03:20:52,360
confirmed are the following it is just Bernie and his wife that purchased

2806
03:20:52,360 --> 03:20:56,360
and are working at this time no other past employees and only a couple

2807
03:20:56,360 --> 03:21:00,360
of their IPs have been purchased such as Red vs. Blue, Camp Camp

2808
03:21:00,360 --> 03:21:04,360
and the RT podcast discussion question good for them if

2809
03:21:04,360 --> 03:21:08,360
Linus media group had gone through the same fate being bought out and slowly died

2810
03:21:08,360 --> 03:21:12,360
do you think you would want to walk back in and repurchase it to try and revive

2811
03:21:12,360 --> 03:21:16,360
it and I think you would

2812
03:21:16,360 --> 03:21:20,360
even though I think right now I'm going to answer for you

2813
03:21:20,360 --> 03:21:24,360
I'm going to say that I think you would because even if you might say no right now

2814
03:21:24,360 --> 03:21:28,360
you have never let NCX go and at this point in time you've worked here

2815
03:21:28,360 --> 03:21:32,360
longer so what bring it you know what I don't think so if it

2816
03:21:32,360 --> 03:21:36,360
gets trashed you'd be sitting there like I could bring it back I could do it

2817
03:21:36,360 --> 03:21:40,360
I know it but I still want to bring NCX back

2818
03:21:40,360 --> 03:21:44,360
yeah this is my point there is no way

2819
03:21:44,360 --> 03:21:48,360
I don't care what you say if you try to say you wouldn't I don't believe you at all

2820
03:21:48,360 --> 03:21:50,360
I might make another offer

2821
03:21:52,360 --> 03:21:56,360
exactly that's why I was so confident I could

2822
03:21:56,360 --> 03:22:00,360
answer that it's hard for me to put myself in those

2823
03:22:00,360 --> 03:22:04,360
shoes though because at this point having not taken the offer

2824
03:22:04,360 --> 03:22:08,360
I just don't think I'd sell I think I'd just

2825
03:22:08,360 --> 03:22:12,360
walk away and just

2826
03:22:12,360 --> 03:22:16,360
I think I'd mothball that felt like the time

2827
03:22:16,360 --> 03:22:20,360
that was the one if it was going to be one that was the one

2828
03:22:22,360 --> 03:22:26,360
but then hearing you talk about what are you going to be doing in 12 years

2829
03:22:26,360 --> 03:22:30,360
it's hard to imagine myself making youtuber thumbnail faces

2830
03:22:30,360 --> 03:22:34,360
in 12 years I don't know I don't know the answer to that

2831
03:22:34,360 --> 03:22:36,360
and

2832
03:22:38,360 --> 03:22:42,360
people might disagree with this in my opinion transformative tech has slowed

2833
03:22:42,360 --> 03:22:46,360
down dramatically if we try to look at the 12 years that

2834
03:22:46,360 --> 03:22:50,360
happened from when we were 10 to 22

2835
03:22:50,360 --> 03:22:54,360
crazy not even close

2836
03:22:54,360 --> 03:22:58,360
it's crazy we're still using desktops

2837
03:22:58,360 --> 03:23:02,360
you know phones came out we're still using phones

2838
03:23:02,360 --> 03:23:06,360
most usages on phones now they just do a lot more stuff we have smartwatches now

2839
03:23:06,360 --> 03:23:10,360
which is just a smaller phone strapped to your wrist

2840
03:23:10,360 --> 03:23:14,360
so like I don't know part of me wants to be

2841
03:23:14,360 --> 03:23:18,360
like is you know online roughly this shape

2842
03:23:18,360 --> 03:23:22,360
or roughly this shape video even still going to be a thing but then

2843
03:23:22,360 --> 03:23:26,360
transformative tech has really slowed down I'm telling you last week

2844
03:23:26,360 --> 03:23:30,360
cybernetics we're doing legs

2845
03:23:30,360 --> 03:23:34,360
become a vtuber but like no actually

2846
03:23:34,360 --> 03:23:38,360
because that's what everyone is now we've talked about that

2847
03:23:38,360 --> 03:23:42,360
that is something that we have like I've spoken with Teran about

2848
03:23:42,360 --> 03:23:46,360
that being a trend that I've kind of identified it's something that we talked about

2849
03:23:46,360 --> 03:23:50,360
as a potential direction for ShortCircuit or first off for ShortCircuit for a

2850
03:23:50,360 --> 03:23:54,360
PSU circuit so we went with just the top down

2851
03:23:54,360 --> 03:23:58,360
product view AI voice but an evolution of that could be

2852
03:23:58,360 --> 03:24:02,360
a vtuber host power man

2853
03:24:02,360 --> 03:24:06,360
would this be like an LTD branded character that you would do? I don't know

2854
03:24:06,360 --> 03:24:10,360
I thought I was just trying to imagine people with power man power man

2855
03:24:10,360 --> 03:24:14,360
probably not the best choice in the current political climate but good idea

2856
03:24:14,360 --> 03:24:18,360
Luke oh my goodness

2857
03:24:18,360 --> 03:24:22,360
oh no oh no

2858
03:24:24,360 --> 03:24:28,360
oh no anyway

2859
03:24:28,360 --> 03:24:32,360
cool so what are we talking about?

2860
03:24:32,360 --> 03:24:36,360
we were talking about rooster teeth and their revival

2861
03:24:36,360 --> 03:24:40,360
yeah so would I do it? I'm gonna say no

2862
03:24:40,360 --> 03:24:44,360
they were out for five years five years a long time and that

2863
03:24:44,360 --> 03:24:48,360
wait what? rooster teeth? no no Bernie

2864
03:24:48,360 --> 03:24:52,360
he left like 2020 or something like that like before the

2865
03:24:52,360 --> 03:24:56,360
swirling the toilet for all these years

2866
03:24:56,360 --> 03:25:00,360
oh maybe I would I don't know you totally would

2867
03:25:00,360 --> 03:25:04,360
I don't know but he just didn't like himself and his wife

2868
03:25:04,360 --> 03:25:08,360
like okay you're telling me you tell it yeah no

2869
03:25:08,360 --> 03:25:12,360
like you're not still here you would try to ring the gong

2870
03:25:12,360 --> 03:25:16,360
and get the gang back together I am a thousand percent confident

2871
03:25:16,360 --> 03:25:20,360
in how you would do this I would get a discord message at one in the

2872
03:25:20,360 --> 03:25:24,360
morning be like hey what

2873
03:25:24,360 --> 03:25:28,360
what if we bought it back what if we did it dude

2874
03:25:28,360 --> 03:25:32,360
we can do it we can win show back together

2875
03:25:32,360 --> 03:25:34,360
message Dan

2876
03:25:36,360 --> 03:25:40,360
I'd be there and this is why

2877
03:25:40,360 --> 03:25:44,360
because you know it you know it I hope you know it

2878
03:25:44,360 --> 03:25:48,360
would you join them yeah and that's why you would do it

2879
03:25:48,360 --> 03:25:52,360
we'll get the band back together only fly back from Mars

2880
03:25:54,360 --> 03:25:58,360
I'll float my super yacht I'll float my

2881
03:25:58,360 --> 03:26:02,360
super gamer yacht back and then take the gamer plane and then we'll get it going again

2882
03:26:02,360 --> 03:26:06,360
all right let's talk about Google's 4a into

2883
03:26:06,360 --> 03:26:10,360
screwing the pixel 4a earlier that's really funny

2884
03:26:10,360 --> 03:26:14,360
by the way who wrote this Adam of course it was earlier this month

2885
03:26:14,360 --> 03:26:18,360
Google pushed an unexpected automatic update to the end of life pixel 4a

2886
03:26:18,360 --> 03:26:20,360
what new features does it bring

2887
03:26:22,360 --> 03:26:26,360
lower battery life according to a post on the pixel support blog

2888
03:26:26,360 --> 03:26:30,360
certain pixel 4a devices will receive an update that includes new battery management

2889
03:26:30,360 --> 03:26:34,360
features to improve the stability of your battery's performance so the battery may last for shorter periods between charges

2890
03:26:34,360 --> 03:26:38,360
why well the support document doesn't give a reason

2891
03:26:38,360 --> 03:26:42,360
Ars Technica reached out to Google but as of the time of writing hasn't

2892
03:26:42,360 --> 03:26:46,360
received any clarification but it turns out that it wasn't a small reduction

2893
03:26:46,360 --> 03:26:50,360
with several users reporting a halving of battery life

2894
03:26:50,360 --> 03:26:54,360
and some reporting less than two hours of battery life

2895
03:26:54,360 --> 03:26:58,360
Adam said it is not clear what the proportion of screen on time to idle time

2896
03:26:58,360 --> 03:27:02,360
is in those cases though Ars Technica noted that this is

2897
03:27:02,360 --> 03:27:06,360
similar to what Apple did with their iPhones before 2017 only

2898
03:27:06,360 --> 03:27:10,360
Google seems to want to get out in front of it and be transparent rather than waiting until they get sued

2899
03:27:10,360 --> 03:27:14,360
Google is offering affected owners free battery replacement

2900
03:27:14,360 --> 03:27:18,360
$30 of cash money or $100 in Google Store credit towards a new pixel phone

2901
03:27:18,360 --> 03:27:22,360
all of these options seem to have issues

2902
03:27:22,360 --> 03:27:26,360
some users who received the battery swap are reporting that they still have limited capacity

2903
03:27:26,360 --> 03:27:30,360
Google has removed the old firmware from their website making it more difficult for users to roll back

2904
03:27:30,360 --> 03:27:34,360
using a trusted source that sucks and users who want the cash

2905
03:27:34,360 --> 03:27:38,360
use a service called Pioneer which asks for your social security number

2906
03:27:38,360 --> 03:27:42,360
checking account details and other personal information and also charges $30 a year

2907
03:27:42,360 --> 03:27:46,360
to accounts that receive less than $2,000 per 12 months meaning that users need to

2908
03:27:46,360 --> 03:27:50,360
make sure to cancel their accounts Finally, the Google Store credit only applies to pixel phones

2909
03:27:50,360 --> 03:27:54,360
and can't be combined with other products on sale

2910
03:27:56,360 --> 03:28:00,360
Yikes Big Yikes

2911
03:28:00,360 --> 03:28:04,360
Finally, other than tech plane a viewer finds

2912
03:28:04,360 --> 03:28:08,360
an LTT bottle lid on a non-LTT

2913
03:28:08,360 --> 03:28:12,360
bottle to clean a bottle I bought from the gym

2914
03:28:12,360 --> 03:28:16,360
and saw this so as you guys know

2915
03:28:16,360 --> 03:28:20,360
recently we developed a new and improved version

2916
03:28:20,360 --> 03:28:24,360
of our twist top spout lid

2917
03:28:24,360 --> 03:28:28,360
it has the threads on the outside now so on the outside rather than the inside

2918
03:28:28,360 --> 03:28:32,360
to make it easier to clean and it has, you can see them, they're very distinctive

2919
03:28:32,360 --> 03:28:36,360
these nice little pull tabs for both this O-ring

2920
03:28:36,360 --> 03:28:40,360
and actually the second O-ring in here to make them easier to clean

2921
03:28:40,360 --> 03:28:44,360
it's also more durable people hate it when I do this

2922
03:28:44,360 --> 03:28:48,360
but that's why I do it anyway it's really hard to break

2923
03:28:48,360 --> 03:28:52,360
the handle part I like it, I think you just might want to mute the mics next time

2924
03:28:52,360 --> 03:28:56,360
sorry about that anyway, it's really good

2925
03:28:56,360 --> 03:29:00,360
and someone got it on a water bottle that

2926
03:29:00,360 --> 03:29:04,360
was not from LTT Store from Niklite

2927
03:29:04,360 --> 03:29:08,360
there are a few potential options here one could be that

2928
03:29:08,360 --> 03:29:12,360
the factory that produces our lids is using our mold without our approval

2929
03:29:12,360 --> 03:29:16,360
which is bad because A, that's our IP

2930
03:29:16,360 --> 03:29:20,360
that we designed and B it wears out the mold

2931
03:29:20,360 --> 03:29:24,360
molds have a limited shelf life they last for a long time

2932
03:29:24,360 --> 03:29:28,360
but they do have a limited shelf life so they should not do that

2933
03:29:28,360 --> 03:29:32,360
one other possibility is that this gym

2934
03:29:32,360 --> 03:29:36,360
might have just bought a bunch of our lids

2935
03:29:36,360 --> 03:29:40,360
put them on water bottles it's not a secret

2936
03:29:40,360 --> 03:29:44,360
that our threads are the same as Hydroflask

2937
03:29:44,360 --> 03:29:48,360
and a number of other water bottle brands so if you

2938
03:29:48,360 --> 03:29:52,360
have one of the water bottles that uses these threads

2939
03:29:52,360 --> 03:29:56,360
you can buy this excellent lid from LTT Store and you can put it on it

2940
03:29:56,360 --> 03:30:00,360
mind you if you want a new water bottle

2941
03:30:00,360 --> 03:30:04,360
we'd obviously think maybe get both

2942
03:30:04,360 --> 03:30:08,360
sure, you could get a nice water bottle we don't know for sure

2943
03:30:08,360 --> 03:30:12,360
what's going on right now but we do know that that is

2944
03:30:12,360 --> 03:30:16,360
definitely our lid because it's definitely our mold

2945
03:30:16,360 --> 03:30:20,360
with definitely our logo on it cool

2946
03:30:20,360 --> 03:30:24,360
and if it's a gym that's just reselling them then that's completely fine

2947
03:30:24,360 --> 03:30:28,360
that's totally fine, in fact maybe reach out to customer support

2948
03:30:28,360 --> 03:30:32,360
and maybe we can get you a bulk deal I suspect that's not the case

2949
03:30:32,360 --> 03:30:36,360
I don't know, we'll see so

2950
03:30:36,360 --> 03:30:40,360
Tech Plane have I disclosed on WAN

2951
03:30:40,360 --> 03:30:44,360
show what the message was that I showed you that we were like

2952
03:30:44,360 --> 03:30:48,360
what at the end when we were talking about the Tech Plane? you have not

2953
03:30:48,360 --> 03:30:52,360
I'm not going to name any names but someone

2954
03:30:52,360 --> 03:30:56,360
who works at Linus Media Group has a close acquaintance

2955
03:30:56,360 --> 03:31:00,360
who it turns out owns a freaking private jet

2956
03:31:00,360 --> 03:31:04,360
sick and happens

2957
03:31:04,360 --> 03:31:08,360
to be interested in offloading said private jet

2958
03:31:08,360 --> 03:31:12,360
no, it's not Dan we're not going to

2959
03:31:12,360 --> 03:31:16,360
do any more clarification no further clarification

2960
03:31:16,360 --> 03:31:20,360
it's Dan it's not Dan

2961
03:31:20,360 --> 03:31:24,360
I'm the boat guy, I explained that I think that's why people keep saying that

2962
03:31:24,360 --> 03:31:28,360
it might be Dan you don't know that

2963
03:31:28,360 --> 03:31:32,360
you don't know what I'm about I was shocked

2964
03:31:32,360 --> 03:31:36,360
I was shocked at the affordability

2965
03:31:36,360 --> 03:31:40,360
of a private jet it's not something that I have personally

2966
03:31:40,360 --> 03:31:44,360
looked into that is a reasonable statement for what he's talking about

2967
03:31:44,360 --> 03:31:48,360
it is Luke, I've looked at them

2968
03:31:48,360 --> 03:31:52,360
and I've been like whoa, these are like 30 million dollars I don't think affordability

2969
03:31:52,360 --> 03:31:56,360
is the correct word to use in that sentence

2970
03:31:56,360 --> 03:32:00,360
it's all relative and that's why I laughed

2971
03:32:00,360 --> 03:32:04,360
that is precisely why I laughed hold on, let me finish here

2972
03:32:04,360 --> 03:32:08,360
let me finish let me finish

2973
03:32:08,360 --> 03:32:12,360
every time I looked at it I've been like what private jet does

2974
03:32:12,360 --> 03:32:16,360
Taylor Swift fly and it's like anywhere from 30 to

2975
03:32:16,360 --> 03:32:20,360
50, 60 million dollars as much as you want to be, you're not actually Taylor Swift

2976
03:32:20,360 --> 03:32:24,360
I know my thighs though

2977
03:32:24,360 --> 03:32:28,360
I think my thighs are about as big as hers I need to take your opportunity

2978
03:32:28,360 --> 03:32:32,360
because when you were talking earlier you said your shake it off, shake it off thing

2979
03:32:32,360 --> 03:32:36,360
and I wanted to let you keep talking but I had to ask this

2980
03:32:36,360 --> 03:32:40,360
you mentioned wife bum slap wife slapping your bum to be clear

2981
03:32:40,360 --> 03:32:44,360
and saying where'd your butt go after your wisdom teeth

2982
03:32:44,360 --> 03:32:48,360
has the cake returned I think that people need to know

2983
03:32:48,360 --> 03:32:52,360
the cake is not returned you got to eat more and do squats in the gym

2984
03:32:52,360 --> 03:32:56,360
I know right I'm on the stair master like every other day

2985
03:32:56,360 --> 03:33:00,360
so I just need to eat more some yoga pants

2986
03:33:00,360 --> 03:33:04,360
anyway anyway

2987
03:33:04,360 --> 03:33:08,360
so Taylor Swift so

2988
03:33:08,360 --> 03:33:12,360
I was shocked at the relative

2989
03:33:12,360 --> 03:33:16,360
affordability of like a jet because I thought a private jet

2990
03:33:16,360 --> 03:33:20,360
is just like millions millions of dollars

2991
03:33:20,360 --> 03:33:24,360
they're going to think relative to you I'm going to give them a number

2992
03:33:24,360 --> 03:33:28,360
and they're going to be like wow how is that affordable to anyone

2993
03:33:28,360 --> 03:33:32,360
it was under a million dollars for a jet

2994
03:33:32,360 --> 03:33:36,360
not like a propeller plane like a jet that would seat like nine people

2995
03:33:36,360 --> 03:33:38,360
so is this like

2996
03:33:40,360 --> 03:33:44,360
I know it's not people are actually like

2997
03:33:44,360 --> 03:33:48,360
they get it now but Vancouver real estate is so bad

2998
03:33:48,360 --> 03:33:52,360
that you could like live there instead of an apartment yeah

2999
03:33:52,360 --> 03:33:56,360
the problem would be there's a two bedroom house across the street

3000
03:33:56,360 --> 03:34:00,360
for me that's 1.8 million dollars the problem is you can't park it anywhere

3001
03:34:00,360 --> 03:34:04,360
see this is what I'm talking about you guys in Vancouver is it cheaper

3002
03:34:04,360 --> 03:34:08,360
to fly a jet to work than live close about it

3003
03:34:08,360 --> 03:34:12,360
I think it would be cheaper to live in the jet this is what I'm saying

3004
03:34:12,360 --> 03:34:16,360
you wouldn't pay property tax I was very

3005
03:34:16,360 --> 03:34:20,360
surprised when I first heard the price and I was like

3006
03:34:20,360 --> 03:34:24,360
excuse me pardon okay I thought it was more

3007
03:34:24,360 --> 03:34:28,360
no it's a private-ass corporate jet

3008
03:34:28,360 --> 03:34:32,360
jet that did like

3009
03:34:32,360 --> 03:34:36,360
over Mach 0.8 or whatever do you buy a townhouse

3010
03:34:36,360 --> 03:34:40,360
an hour away from Vancouver suburbia or

3011
03:34:40,360 --> 03:34:44,360
hear me out a private jet

3012
03:34:46,360 --> 03:34:50,360
that is so stupid so

3013
03:34:50,360 --> 03:34:54,360
so but

3014
03:34:54,360 --> 03:34:58,360
so I was looking at that going

3015
03:34:58,360 --> 03:35:02,360
oh hold on a second tech plane

3016
03:35:02,360 --> 03:35:06,360
because that's not bad bones to start with

3017
03:35:06,360 --> 03:35:10,360
now obviously you're gonna need to look into maintenance records

3018
03:35:10,360 --> 03:35:14,360
and it's not in Canada

3019
03:35:14,360 --> 03:35:18,360
so let me explain why

3020
03:35:18,360 --> 03:35:22,360
the deal is dead and therefore the tech plane project

3021
03:35:22,360 --> 03:35:26,360
may be dead sure

3022
03:35:26,360 --> 03:35:30,360
it's not in Canada that's a big problem transport Canada

3023
03:35:30,360 --> 03:35:34,360
apparently and this is from talking to my uncle

3024
03:35:34,360 --> 03:35:38,360
my uncle's been in the aviation industry for like 40,000 years

3025
03:35:38,360 --> 03:35:42,360
more like 40 so my uncle's been

3026
03:35:42,360 --> 03:35:46,360
he's done corporate he's done commercial

3027
03:35:46,360 --> 03:35:50,360
he has owned an aircraft for himself

3028
03:35:50,360 --> 03:35:54,360
he does firefighting now so he's basically

3029
03:35:54,360 --> 03:35:58,360
oh does he do the like those are so safe dude

3030
03:35:58,360 --> 03:36:02,360
he was talking I was talking to him about it because I was chatting with him about this

3031
03:36:02,360 --> 03:36:06,360
right after we talked about it on WAN Show for the

3032
03:36:06,360 --> 03:36:10,360
LA fires and he was just like

3033
03:36:10,360 --> 03:36:14,360
yeah like he's stowing on Shalana

3034
03:36:14,360 --> 03:36:18,360
I'm like dude that's so cool he's like we're not that close to the ground

3035
03:36:18,360 --> 03:36:22,360
he gives me the number I'm like that's really close to the ground no that's insane

3036
03:36:22,360 --> 03:36:26,360
so I went on a trip a weekend or two ago

3037
03:36:26,360 --> 03:36:30,360
I don't know time is an illusion with Emma and her family

3038
03:36:30,360 --> 03:36:34,360
to see some of their cousins or whatever and while we're going on the trip

3039
03:36:34,360 --> 03:36:38,360
we're just mad of all these like sick Canadian and others

3040
03:36:38,360 --> 03:36:42,360
like water bombers going over the LA fires and we're just nerding out over the whole time

3041
03:36:42,360 --> 03:36:46,360
so cool he might not think it's cool because he does it all the time

3042
03:36:46,360 --> 03:36:50,360
it is objectively sick so anyway he's been around the block

3043
03:36:50,360 --> 03:36:54,360
he's been around the turbine a little bit so to speak

3044
03:36:54,360 --> 03:36:58,360
and he basically goes just because something's air worthy

3045
03:36:58,360 --> 03:37:02,360
in America does not mean it is air worthy

3046
03:37:02,360 --> 03:37:06,360
like Canada is this because Canada is more stringent

3047
03:37:06,360 --> 03:37:10,360
or because the rules are different both

3048
03:37:10,360 --> 03:37:14,360
so for example he told me about this one plane that's a triple engine plane

3049
03:37:14,360 --> 03:37:18,360
you've got two on the sides and you've got one that's like embedded in the tail and he goes

3050
03:37:18,360 --> 03:37:22,360
in the United States that's kosher

3051
03:37:22,360 --> 03:37:26,360
totally cool in Canada you need

3052
03:37:26,360 --> 03:37:30,360
what's called a basically

3053
03:37:30,360 --> 03:37:34,360
you need this reinforcement ring that goes around it

3054
03:37:34,360 --> 03:37:38,360
he gave me a couple examples of materials I'm not going to try and tell you guys

3055
03:37:38,360 --> 03:37:42,360
what the materials were basically he goes so here's the situation

3056
03:37:42,360 --> 03:37:46,360
you want to take an American plane that was built to American standards

3057
03:37:46,360 --> 03:37:50,360
with one of those on it bring it up into Canada

3058
03:37:50,360 --> 03:37:54,360
you're pulling off that engine you're buying this ring for like

3059
03:37:54,360 --> 03:37:58,360
20 grand 30 grand it's aviation so it just immediately goes up

3060
03:37:58,360 --> 03:38:02,360
you're putting that ring on the engine you're putting the engine back on

3061
03:38:02,360 --> 03:38:06,360
you're into this for tens of thousands of dollars if you're lucky

3062
03:38:06,360 --> 03:38:10,360
and that's just that's just one example

3063
03:38:10,360 --> 03:38:14,360
sorry GM Shippo in Flipping Shot said the plane that crashed in Philly last week

3064
03:38:14,360 --> 03:38:18,360
had been flagged by Canada before it crashed

3065
03:38:18,360 --> 03:38:22,360
transport Canada basically from him talking about them

3066
03:38:22,360 --> 03:38:26,360
it seems like they're a bit of a pain in the ass but it's overall a good thing

3067
03:38:26,360 --> 03:38:30,360
in the way that you'd probably want them to be it's overall seems like a good thing

3068
03:38:30,360 --> 03:38:34,360
Draco Nightwalker says it's called a cowl so make of that what you will

3069
03:38:34,360 --> 03:38:38,360
I have no idea if that's right that's not what he called it but sure cowl fine

3070
03:38:38,360 --> 03:38:42,360
okay concern number two as you can imagine

3071
03:38:42,360 --> 03:38:46,360
a sub one million dollar private jet

3072
03:38:46,360 --> 03:38:50,360
probably a little on the older side and he was telling me parts availability

3073
03:38:50,360 --> 03:38:54,360
for these things nevermind parts cost parts availability

3074
03:38:54,360 --> 03:38:58,360
for these things can be a big challenge and he was telling me

3075
03:38:58,360 --> 03:39:02,360
so he's down in Australia right now working

3076
03:39:02,360 --> 03:39:06,360
firefighting and he was telling me about just totally

3077
03:39:06,360 --> 03:39:10,360
unrelated plane unrelated story but basically just this older plane that he knows someone

3078
03:39:10,360 --> 03:39:14,360
who has it grounded because he needs a fuel pump

3079
03:39:14,360 --> 03:39:18,360
for it he goes yeah this thing this fuel pump about the size of your fist

3080
03:39:18,360 --> 03:39:22,360
so bigger than mine but a little bigger than this

3081
03:39:22,360 --> 03:39:26,360
let's say like that and they finally

3082
03:39:26,360 --> 03:39:30,360
tracked one down planes been grounded for months 60 grand

3083
03:39:30,360 --> 03:39:34,360
because f**k you that's why this is the only one you're gonna get because this is the only

3084
03:39:34,360 --> 03:39:38,360
one that exists because this is the thing this is the thing these planes right

3085
03:39:38,360 --> 03:39:42,360
they don't actually like make that many of them like a successful

3086
03:39:42,360 --> 03:39:46,360
model of plane they might make hundreds of

3087
03:39:46,360 --> 03:39:50,360
you know what I mean an unsuccessful model of plane

3088
03:39:50,360 --> 03:39:54,360
they might make more like dozens of

3089
03:39:54,360 --> 03:39:58,360
and so when you when you look up like a model of plane on Wikipedia or whatever

3090
03:39:58,360 --> 03:40:02,360
it'll be like yeah they built 322 of these of which

3091
03:40:02,360 --> 03:40:06,360
these because it's all registered and it's all it's all tracked in everything extremely track of which

3092
03:40:06,360 --> 03:40:10,360
you know 10 of them crashed and this many of them did this and this many are grounded for this reason

3093
03:40:10,360 --> 03:40:14,360
and so for these older planes what some people end up doing is they actually

3094
03:40:14,360 --> 03:40:18,360
they go and buy a parts plane it's actually more economical

3095
03:40:18,360 --> 03:40:22,360
they buy an entirely separate what about second plane

3096
03:40:22,360 --> 03:40:26,360
and just park it so that when something breaks they can just pull one off

3097
03:40:26,360 --> 03:40:30,360
and hope that that one works their own private scrapyard

3098
03:40:30,360 --> 03:40:34,360
um yeah so this

3099
03:40:34,360 --> 03:40:38,360
yeah MMGF says old lear jets are cheap because the engines have to be

3100
03:40:38,360 --> 03:40:42,360
retrofitted to be quiet! and the cost is millions um

3101
03:40:42,360 --> 03:40:46,360
yeah yeah so so we've got the concern

3102
03:40:46,360 --> 03:40:50,360
about parts availability we've got the concern about getting the bloody thing into Canada in the

3103
03:40:50,360 --> 03:40:54,360
first place which even if everything's totally fine is going to cost thousands and thousands

3104
03:40:54,360 --> 03:40:58,360
of dollars in inspections and validation and certification and everything yeah

3105
03:40:58,360 --> 03:41:02,360
um the most popular plane ever made

3106
03:41:02,360 --> 03:41:06,360
it was only 144,000 of them yeah

3107
03:41:06,360 --> 03:41:10,360
kinapse 7 full plane jet yeah that's that sounds like it makes sense so what would that be like the 7

3108
03:41:10,360 --> 03:41:14,360
37 or something like what's the most what's the most popular what plane is that

3109
03:41:14,360 --> 03:41:18,360
um let me know yeah yeah yeah I actually I have no idea I just guessed is it like

3110
03:41:18,360 --> 03:41:22,360
some little Cessna or something I actually have no idea

3111
03:41:24,360 --> 03:41:28,360
user raiden 428 says but Linus a jet

3112
03:41:28,360 --> 03:41:32,360
will significantly help your son's dating game lol

3113
03:41:32,360 --> 03:41:36,360
which I thought was a funny comment what sorry what do you say I said

3114
03:41:36,360 --> 03:41:40,360
we'll help your son's user raiden 428 in chat says Linus

3115
03:41:40,360 --> 03:41:44,360
though a jet will significantly help your son's dating game it probably would

3116
03:41:44,360 --> 03:41:48,360
probably would probably would probably would what if you what if instead

3117
03:41:48,360 --> 03:41:52,360
of a baller car you could take your dad's jet to prom

3118
03:41:52,360 --> 03:41:56,360
I mean what like just taxi it there yeah there's no runway

3119
03:41:56,360 --> 03:42:00,360
you know like go up in the air go around a circle land and then take a limo to

3120
03:42:00,360 --> 03:42:04,360
school there you go um my uncle also

3121
03:42:04,360 --> 03:42:08,360
you know kind of opened my eyes to some of the

3122
03:42:08,360 --> 03:42:12,360
some of the uh

3123
03:42:12,360 --> 03:42:16,360
costs that people might not realize are associated with operating a

3124
03:42:16,360 --> 03:42:20,360
private aircraft so for example you know you when

3125
03:42:20,360 --> 03:42:24,360
you think of like what the the hourly operational cost of flying one of these might be

3126
03:42:24,360 --> 03:42:28,360
what would you what would you think of like give me give me some give me some numbers

3127
03:42:28,360 --> 03:42:32,360
that would you all yeah your fuel pilots your pilot potentially

3128
03:42:32,360 --> 03:42:36,360
we don't know if there's two or one let's say two okay so pilots those

3129
03:42:36,360 --> 03:42:40,360
are very expensive yeah uh yeah last I checked pilots are not

3130
03:42:40,360 --> 03:42:44,360
cheap do you have a stewardess type person not on

3131
03:42:44,360 --> 03:42:48,360
that one if not is someone like

3132
03:42:48,360 --> 03:42:52,360
stocking it like is there is there extra hanger fees of some kind so someone

3133
03:42:52,360 --> 03:42:56,360
who acts as your realistically full-time mechanics slash engineer

3134
03:42:56,360 --> 03:43:00,360
providing maintenance yeah yeah you should probably have one of those and the the hanger fees in general

3135
03:43:00,360 --> 03:43:04,360
I think should be diluted out over the hours that you fly it for yeah but hanger

3136
03:43:04,360 --> 03:43:08,360
fees yeah yeah uh does it cost

3137
03:43:08,360 --> 03:43:12,360
money to land at an airport so far we've got a staff that is probably somewhere

3138
03:43:12,360 --> 03:43:16,360
in the neighborhood of half a million us dollars a year easy we've got hanger

3139
03:43:16,360 --> 03:43:20,360
that's tens of thousands of dollars a year we've got fuel burn rates that are

3140
03:43:20,360 --> 03:43:24,360
somewhere in the thousands of dollars an hour

3141
03:43:24,360 --> 03:43:28,360
an hour disgusting um what else we got

3142
03:43:28,360 --> 03:43:32,360
uh yeah does it cost money to land at an airport yes okay

3143
03:43:32,360 --> 03:43:36,360
I didn't actually know if you fuel up there my understanding is that

3144
03:43:36,360 --> 03:43:40,360
they might discount or waive the fees but then

3145
03:43:40,360 --> 03:43:44,360
you might be overpaying for your fuel so yep yep who knows

3146
03:43:44,360 --> 03:43:48,360
um yeah I know maintenance and stuff is already included

3147
03:43:48,360 --> 03:43:52,360
I also need to not be reading that um nope it's not oh we said the

3148
03:43:52,360 --> 03:43:56,360
maintenance person didn't we yeah the person open up the parts so here's the thing

3149
03:43:56,360 --> 03:44:00,360
um there's this program called an msp

3150
03:44:00,360 --> 03:44:04,360
which is a manufacturer program I think something along those lines but basically

3151
03:44:04,360 --> 03:44:08,360
what it amounts to is a cost usually

3152
03:44:08,360 --> 03:44:12,360
in the hundreds of dollars an hour but can reach into

3153
03:44:12,360 --> 03:44:16,360
thousands of dollars per flight hour where it's essentially

3154
03:44:16,360 --> 03:44:20,360
like an insurance program that you pay into where when your engine

3155
03:44:20,360 --> 03:44:24,360
comes up for an overhaul or even replacement the manufacturer

3156
03:44:24,360 --> 03:44:28,360
of said engine will cover everything so you you ship it out

3157
03:44:28,360 --> 03:44:32,360
to them you they refurb it or they send you one that they've already refurb

3158
03:44:32,360 --> 03:44:36,360
and you throw it on there yeah you keep down your

3159
03:44:36,360 --> 03:44:40,360
basically your maintenance time and

3160
03:44:40,360 --> 03:44:44,360
essentially if you don't have an msp

3161
03:44:44,360 --> 03:44:48,360
you are rolling the dice on

3162
03:44:48,360 --> 03:44:52,360
whether you will be able to get replacement parts in a timely manner

3163
03:44:52,360 --> 03:44:56,360
how long it's going to be down for maintenance which is going to cost you a lot more than just

3164
03:44:56,360 --> 03:45:00,360
paying into your msp um

3165
03:45:00,360 --> 03:45:04,360
managed services program maintenance service plan

3166
03:45:04,360 --> 03:45:08,360
I'm sure every industry has a slightly different but basically

3167
03:45:08,360 --> 03:45:12,360
an msp max o drive

3168
03:45:12,360 --> 03:45:16,360
says the most popular private was the Learjet 35 36 and they made just

3169
03:45:16,360 --> 03:45:20,360
over 700 of those yeah so if you are not if you are

3170
03:45:20,360 --> 03:45:24,360
not paying into your msp and they don't

3171
03:45:24,360 --> 03:45:28,360
and the manufacturer you know doesn't happen to you know just like have parts

3172
03:45:28,360 --> 03:45:32,360
lying around for you you're just like who knows who knows basically you're at the

3173
03:45:32,360 --> 03:45:36,360
mercy of finding one of those other 700 people who bought one of those planes

3174
03:45:36,360 --> 03:45:40,360
at some point like it's I was amazed at how small

3175
03:45:40,360 --> 03:45:44,360
the aviation industry is from kind of talking to him about all of this

3176
03:45:44,360 --> 03:45:48,360
how utterly tiny the pool

3177
03:45:48,360 --> 03:45:52,360
of people who like own these planes oh yeah yeah yeah

3178
03:45:52,360 --> 03:45:56,360
um because like on the other hand you know I'll I'll look up some you know

3179
03:45:56,360 --> 03:46:00,360
rando celebrity and it's like oh yeah you know Jim Carrey has a private plane or you know

3180
03:46:00,360 --> 03:46:04,360
this or that um and I'm just like yeah it seems like

3181
03:46:04,360 --> 03:46:08,360
every freaking celebrity in their dog has a stupid you know private jet or whatever

3182
03:46:08,360 --> 03:46:12,360
um but but but no the actual ownership pool for these things

3183
03:46:12,360 --> 03:46:16,360
is is flipping is flipping tiny um

3184
03:46:16,360 --> 03:46:20,360
and seeing these these ongoing costs it also

3185
03:46:20,360 --> 03:46:24,360
kind of gave me some perspective on you know why you have people like Jim Carrey

3186
03:46:24,360 --> 03:46:28,360
saying yeah why did I do Sonic 3 because I needed

3187
03:46:28,360 --> 03:46:32,360
the money like I guess they just get used to like this lifestyle where

3188
03:46:32,360 --> 03:46:36,360
if you fly between you know Vancouver and New York you're

3189
03:46:36,360 --> 03:46:40,360
spending you know 20 $25,000

3190
03:46:40,360 --> 03:46:44,360
one way I think so I think it would be

3191
03:46:44,360 --> 03:46:48,360
pretty nuts for Jim Carrey to take an economy flight yeah that's true

3192
03:46:48,360 --> 03:46:52,360
not not because I'm like I'm not a person of his status

3193
03:46:52,360 --> 03:46:56,360
I just like oh he just get overrun yeah it would be insane

3194
03:46:58,360 --> 03:47:02,360
yeah yeah that's tough

3195
03:47:02,360 --> 03:47:06,360
honestly it's getting to the point even at my very

3196
03:47:06,360 --> 03:47:10,360
limited like internet fame where it's getting to be a bit much

3197
03:47:10,360 --> 03:47:14,360
like I I would always say in the past like I I have

3198
03:47:14,360 --> 03:47:18,360
enough notoriety to know I don't need more and that was when it was

3199
03:47:18,360 --> 03:47:22,360
less than it is now like I I I don't mind if people

3200
03:47:22,360 --> 03:47:26,360
you know come up and take a selfie or whatever it's like it's fine I actually

3201
03:47:26,360 --> 03:47:30,360
I appreciate you guys I appreciate that I get to have the coolest job in the

3202
03:47:30,360 --> 03:47:34,360
world and you guys make that possible but what I will say

3203
03:47:34,360 --> 03:47:38,360
is that individuals aside I don't mind the individuals

3204
03:47:38,360 --> 03:47:42,360
I appreciate the individuals collectively

3205
03:47:42,360 --> 03:47:46,360
it is getting to be a little bit much like it used to be

3206
03:47:46,360 --> 03:47:50,360
that if someone walked up and wanted a selfie we would take a selfie and then I would

3207
03:47:50,360 --> 03:47:54,360
continue doing whatever it is that I'm doing multiple times

3208
03:47:54,360 --> 03:47:58,360
I have taken my kids for ski lessons the last little while and

3209
03:47:58,360 --> 03:48:02,360
when the first person takes the picture a couple other

3210
03:48:02,360 --> 03:48:06,360
people stand up nearby and they're like okay me too now that somebody broke the ice

3211
03:48:08,360 --> 03:48:12,360
that's getting to be a bit much yeah I don't I don't I don't have a solution

3212
03:48:12,360 --> 03:48:16,360
to that other than just like what retire I think if I retired it would go away extremely quickly

3213
03:48:16,360 --> 03:48:20,360
though like I think I would fade from the collective consciousness really fast compared to like a real

3214
03:48:20,360 --> 03:48:24,360
celebrity I disagree Oh I strongly disagree with what you just

3215
03:48:24,360 --> 03:48:28,360
said I'm practically only on Wansho I still get it all the time yeah but you're still

3216
03:48:28,360 --> 03:48:32,360
actively on Wansho Wansho has hold on

3217
03:48:32,360 --> 03:48:36,360
Wansho has probably almost

3218
03:48:36,360 --> 03:48:40,360
20,000 live viewers right now people will very often like I went to the dentist

3219
03:48:40,360 --> 03:48:44,360
this week and dude in the lobby recognized me I think you're numb

3220
03:48:44,360 --> 03:48:48,360
to the numbers and said that he watched

3221
03:48:48,360 --> 03:48:52,360
the mineral oil build from forever yeah but I think

3222
03:48:52,360 --> 03:48:56,360
you still it would still fade and remember but you got to remember too

3223
03:48:56,360 --> 03:49:00,360
on top of him watching that build like you're you're being brought

3224
03:49:00,360 --> 03:49:04,360
up from time to time like we remember things so much better

3225
03:49:04,360 --> 03:49:08,360
when we are reminded of them periodically versus if we completely are not reminded

3226
03:49:08,360 --> 03:49:12,360
of them I think I'd fade pretty fast

3227
03:49:14,360 --> 03:49:18,360
I don't Keanu Reeves apparently flies commercial

3228
03:49:18,360 --> 03:49:22,360
frequently says real avus in YouTube chat which I'm now closing because I don't

3229
03:49:22,360 --> 03:49:26,360
look at YouTube chat I have also seen like videos of him noticing

3230
03:49:26,360 --> 03:49:30,360
of people noticing him in public and leaving him alone and then

3231
03:49:30,360 --> 03:49:34,360
seemingly no one bothering him like I feel like he chameleons really

3232
03:49:34,360 --> 03:49:38,360
well somehow how can you be that cool I don't know

3233
03:49:38,360 --> 03:49:42,360
how can anyone be that cool I will never be that cool

3234
03:49:46,360 --> 03:49:50,360
yeah I think I think there's a somewhat of a critical mass of content for you

3235
03:49:50,360 --> 03:49:54,360
and memes like the memes have

3236
03:49:54,360 --> 03:49:58,360
incredible reach yeah but like

3237
03:49:58,360 --> 03:50:02,360
there was a Michael Reeves video that came out this week that like your face is randomly and I got jump

3238
03:50:02,360 --> 03:50:06,360
scared by it I was like what the heck

3239
03:50:06,360 --> 03:50:10,360
but it was one of the memes of you

3240
03:50:10,360 --> 03:50:14,360
just everywhere let me go

3241
03:50:14,360 --> 03:50:18,360
find it I don't know if I can

3242
03:50:18,360 --> 03:50:22,360
it's really quick at a random part of his video okay while he's looking that up I have a few more

3243
03:50:22,360 --> 03:50:26,360
plane updates one of the other things I learned from my uncle

3244
03:50:26,360 --> 03:50:30,360
is that the amount of things we would be able to modify

3245
03:50:30,360 --> 03:50:34,360
about the plane are extremely limited

3246
03:50:34,360 --> 03:50:38,360
and he basically said look I haven't looked that closely at this yet

3247
03:50:38,360 --> 03:50:42,360
so this is just my my understanding

3248
03:50:42,360 --> 03:50:46,360
without looking into it in more detail because he understands that

3249
03:50:46,360 --> 03:50:50,360
you know we are DIY and we want to like do stuff to it

3250
03:50:50,360 --> 03:50:54,360
and he's like okay I get that but here's the line as far as I understand

3251
03:50:54,360 --> 03:50:58,360
as soon as you take a screw or a bolt

3252
03:50:58,360 --> 03:51:02,360
and you put it between whatever thing you have

3253
03:51:02,360 --> 03:51:06,360
and the plane it has to be certified

3254
03:51:06,360 --> 03:51:10,360
and so which is good

3255
03:51:10,360 --> 03:51:14,360
it's good but it would seriously limit

3256
03:51:14,360 --> 03:51:18,360
our ability to just like put cool stuff in it

3257
03:51:18,360 --> 03:51:22,360
you know like if I wanted to build our own in-flight entertainment system

3258
03:51:22,360 --> 03:51:26,360
yeah you'd have to mount it mid-plane instead of on the

3259
03:51:26,360 --> 03:51:30,360
walls essentially you would have to essentially velcro it

3260
03:51:30,360 --> 03:51:34,360
to like the side of the seat and like

3261
03:51:34,360 --> 03:51:38,360
everything would have to be mounted with velcro or clamps or

3262
03:51:38,360 --> 03:51:42,360
temporarily no even bolting something to the seat gotta be certified

3263
03:51:42,360 --> 03:51:46,360
yeah he was telling me he redid the interior of a plane

3264
03:51:46,360 --> 03:51:50,360
way back in the day when he was working corporate and they were due for a redo

3265
03:51:50,360 --> 03:51:54,360
and he's like look you gotta understand everything from the like G-rated frame

3266
03:51:54,360 --> 03:51:58,360
to the foam to the surface material it's all

3267
03:51:58,360 --> 03:52:02,360
related everything about it

3268
03:52:02,360 --> 03:52:06,360
is designed for minimum flammability

3269
03:52:06,360 --> 03:52:10,360
because they really don't want fire spreading in these things

3270
03:52:10,360 --> 03:52:14,360
and it's like that makes sense mini spring says just do french cleats

3271
03:52:14,360 --> 03:52:18,360
sure but we're gonna need a certified french cleat mount like anything

3272
03:52:18,360 --> 03:52:22,360
anything that gets bolted to the plane is my understanding is my understanding

3273
03:52:22,360 --> 03:52:26,360
anything bolted to the plane could be trouble and yes plasmator

3274
03:52:26,360 --> 03:52:30,360
if you start thinking about weight and balance and how much you want to take with you

3275
03:52:30,360 --> 03:52:34,360
you'd be over the idea yeah there you go so I'm not saying never

3276
03:52:34,360 --> 03:52:38,360
I'm just saying but yacht

3277
03:52:38,360 --> 03:52:42,360
that yacht is still for sale in spite of us talking about it on wandshow

3278
03:52:42,360 --> 03:52:46,360
the tech yacht yacht

3279
03:52:46,360 --> 03:52:50,360
have you reached out yet? I haven't are you going to? I don't know

3280
03:52:50,360 --> 03:52:54,360
I think it would warrant a conversation because he can talk to you like your plane guy talk to you

3281
03:52:54,360 --> 03:52:58,360
and I'll tell you it's way easier to modify a boat

3282
03:52:58,360 --> 03:53:02,360
you can do whatever the hell you want yeah my brother-in-law

3283
03:53:02,360 --> 03:53:06,360
is very supportive of the tech yacht as well actually I don't see it

3284
03:53:06,360 --> 03:53:10,360
hold on is it sold? there will always be another

3285
03:53:10,360 --> 03:53:14,360
I don't know there is no rush for you to get the yacht

3286
03:53:14,360 --> 03:53:16,360
there it is boys here's the yacht

3287
03:53:18,360 --> 03:53:22,360
also again I would say competitive with real estate in Vancouver

3288
03:53:22,360 --> 03:53:26,360
I know right? except the storage

3289
03:53:26,360 --> 03:53:30,360
except the storage fees dude

3290
03:53:30,360 --> 03:53:34,360
the storage of the boat sorry I thought you meant storing things on

3291
03:53:34,360 --> 03:53:38,360
if boats don't come with a mooring spot these days you just don't buy them

3292
03:53:38,360 --> 03:53:40,360
because that's almost harder to get than the boat

3293
03:53:42,360 --> 03:53:46,360
this seems to be moored somewhere yeah but it might not come with it

3294
03:53:46,360 --> 03:53:50,360
but you gotta make sure of that but you should call the guy

3295
03:53:50,360 --> 03:53:54,360
call the guy the connection to this boat and him

3296
03:53:54,360 --> 03:53:58,360
and everybody is actually hilarious I don't know if I informed Luke

3297
03:53:58,360 --> 03:54:02,360
but this guy knows like the original owner

3298
03:54:02,360 --> 03:54:06,360
the old captain the boat itself

3299
03:54:06,360 --> 03:54:10,360
call the guy talk to him just have a conversation

3300
03:54:10,360 --> 03:54:14,360
you don't have to buy the boat just have a little sales pitch

3301
03:54:14,360 --> 03:54:18,360
sit down and then I'll get my kick and then he can tell you

3302
03:54:20,360 --> 03:54:24,360
here's my point yeah that's what you do

3303
03:54:24,360 --> 03:54:28,360
you get Reeves' butt you

3304
03:54:28,360 --> 03:54:32,360
say that I'm underestimating the influence of still being on the way

3305
03:54:32,360 --> 03:54:36,360
on show I think you're underestimating the influence of you being

3306
03:54:36,360 --> 03:54:40,360
f***ing everywhere yeah I don't know

3307
03:54:40,360 --> 03:54:44,360
I still think I'd probably get my privacy back it would reduce

3308
03:54:44,360 --> 03:54:48,360
mine has reduced but I don't think it's gonna go away

3309
03:54:48,360 --> 03:54:52,360
DyslexicStoner240 says Linus honestly

3310
03:54:52,360 --> 03:54:56,360
if you bought a yacht I would unsubscribe

3311
03:54:56,360 --> 03:55:00,360
but DyslexicStoner must have tuned into the WAN Show late today

3312
03:55:00,360 --> 03:55:04,360
because I have entered my not giving a f***ing phase so

3313
03:55:04,360 --> 03:55:08,360
he bought a badminton center

3314
03:55:08,360 --> 03:55:12,360
oh you're spelling it out for them no no no badminton centers

3315
03:55:12,360 --> 03:55:16,360
don't cost money Luke we just pointed out that

3316
03:55:16,360 --> 03:55:18,360
is competitive with the pricing of the yacht

3317
03:55:26,360 --> 03:55:30,360
uh the badminton center is a business

3318
03:55:30,360 --> 03:55:34,360
yeah right yeah it's a business it's a very profitable business

3319
03:55:34,360 --> 03:55:38,360
you pointed out that it's not necessarily making a ton of money the reviews are great

3320
03:55:38,360 --> 03:55:40,360
the reviews are great

3321
03:55:42,360 --> 03:55:46,360
the yacht would be being chartered though uh yeah I would think so

3322
03:55:46,360 --> 03:55:50,360
so it would be a business does this now make it acceptable

3323
03:55:50,360 --> 03:55:52,360
is this a trade deal can we shake

3324
03:55:54,360 --> 03:55:58,360
we need to hear from DyslexicStoner 240

3325
03:55:58,360 --> 03:56:02,360
specifically is it okay if it's a business

3326
03:56:02,360 --> 03:56:06,360
because I think the point that Luke was trying to make is that

3327
03:56:06,360 --> 03:56:10,360
the yacht is I knew you were kidding

3328
03:56:10,360 --> 03:56:14,360
DyslexicStoner you're always in the chat you're

3329
03:56:14,360 --> 03:56:18,360
no I'm taking this very seriously someone named DyslexicStoner

3330
03:56:18,360 --> 03:56:22,360
240 would never be making a hee hee

3331
03:56:22,360 --> 03:56:24,360
I'm full simp baby

3332
03:56:26,360 --> 03:56:30,360
I think we've talked about this guy a lot he's come up

3333
03:56:30,360 --> 03:56:34,360
more than once I remember that name he goes whew sorry I'm high

3334
03:56:36,360 --> 03:56:40,360
I would have never seen that coming

3335
03:56:42,360 --> 03:56:46,360
but yeah I don't know like

3336
03:56:46,360 --> 03:56:50,360
it'd be so fun to build this thing just get a yacht

3337
03:56:50,360 --> 03:56:54,360
just get the boat just get the boat

3338
03:56:54,360 --> 03:56:58,360
just call the guy just call the guy

3339
03:56:58,360 --> 03:57:02,360
I mean it costs nothing to go see it or call the guy

3340
03:57:02,360 --> 03:57:06,360
there's the first step he's hooked now boys

3341
03:57:06,360 --> 03:57:10,360
it's over tech yachts happening

3342
03:57:10,360 --> 03:57:14,360
if it's a business here's the thing though here's what I fear

3343
03:57:14,360 --> 03:57:18,360
here's what I fear in the same way

3344
03:57:18,360 --> 03:57:22,360
that there's a reason an old corporate jet is under a million dollars

3345
03:57:22,360 --> 03:57:26,360
what a value why is that yaka to

3346
03:57:26,360 --> 03:57:30,360
I feel like there's a reason that this 123 foot

3347
03:57:30,360 --> 03:57:34,360
tri-deck yacht

3348
03:57:34,360 --> 03:57:38,360
is like under 2 million US dollars like what does that even work out to

3349
03:57:38,360 --> 03:57:42,360
currently called the sovereign lady you could rename it the gamer boy

3350
03:57:42,360 --> 03:57:46,360
apparently it's really bad luck oh yeah you don't do that

3351
03:57:46,360 --> 03:57:50,360
what to convert to CAD to change the name

3352
03:57:50,360 --> 03:57:54,360
of a boat 1.7 million US dollars

3353
03:57:54,360 --> 03:57:58,360
that seems to me the lay person

3354
03:57:58,360 --> 03:58:02,360
like not a lot of money

3355
03:58:02,360 --> 03:58:06,360
for 123 foot yacht you really got to qualify that statement

3356
03:58:06,360 --> 03:58:10,360
I'm just saying like here for context

3357
03:58:10,360 --> 03:58:14,360
here is another 1.6

3358
03:58:14,360 --> 03:58:16,360
million dollar yacht

3359
03:58:18,360 --> 03:58:22,360
look at the size of this thing yeah but when did that one

3360
03:58:22,360 --> 03:58:26,360
be birthed this is a toy by comparison

3361
03:58:26,360 --> 03:58:30,360
it is 57 feet don't get that one

3362
03:58:30,360 --> 03:58:34,360
yeah it's a big boat that is half the size

3363
03:58:34,360 --> 03:58:38,360
of this one there's an inverse relationship

3364
03:58:38,360 --> 03:58:42,360
of the cost of the boat to its size a 60 foot yacht is manageable

3365
03:58:42,360 --> 03:58:46,360
for somebody that has 2 million dollars to spend on a boat

3366
03:58:46,360 --> 03:58:50,360
a 123 foot yacht is not manageable for somebody that has 2 million dollars

3367
03:58:50,360 --> 03:58:54,360
to spend on a boat so that's exactly it

3368
03:58:54,360 --> 03:58:58,360
clearly this thing is so old that anyone who could afford

3369
03:58:58,360 --> 03:59:02,360
the upkeep of it could afford a better yacht

3370
03:59:02,360 --> 03:59:06,360
that's the thing so I would basically be buying

3371
03:59:06,360 --> 03:59:10,360
something that nobody else could ever want

3372
03:59:10,360 --> 03:59:14,360
that I couldn't even give away because it costs so much to maintain

3373
03:59:14,360 --> 03:59:18,360
that anyone who could possibly maintain it couldn't possibly want it

3374
03:59:18,360 --> 03:59:22,360
it's like owning a beautiful

3375
03:59:22,360 --> 03:59:26,360
gilded golden house the most beautiful house

3376
03:59:26,360 --> 03:59:30,360
but it's in mission you know

3377
03:59:30,360 --> 03:59:34,360
it's in mission and not the good part of mission

3378
03:59:38,360 --> 03:59:42,360
I'm kidding there's no good part of mission

3379
03:59:44,360 --> 03:59:48,360
they're trying not very hard

3380
03:59:48,360 --> 03:59:52,360
there's one good part of mission when you leave

3381
03:59:52,360 --> 03:59:56,360
and she left she's from mission?

3382
03:59:56,360 --> 04:00:00,360
I know this is good questions to ask the guy

3383
04:00:00,360 --> 04:00:04,360
why is this boat so cheap tell me about boats

3384
04:00:04,360 --> 04:00:08,360
maybe you should go see him and ask you should talk to him

3385
04:00:08,360 --> 04:00:12,360
wouldn't it just be fun? I'll go he can take you around the boats

3386
04:00:12,360 --> 04:00:16,360
he's a really good dude call the guy

3387
04:00:16,360 --> 04:00:20,360
call the guy content

3388
04:00:20,360 --> 04:00:24,360
that's not how that works that's definitely not content

3389
04:00:24,360 --> 04:00:28,360
this is a serious discussion what is the desired outcome

3390
04:00:28,360 --> 04:00:32,360
how many computers do you want to be able to sleep on it

3391
04:00:32,360 --> 04:00:36,360
it can also talk to you about the economics of actually running it as a business

3392
04:00:36,360 --> 04:00:40,360
and chartering it this is why he's the guy

3393
04:00:40,360 --> 04:00:44,360
because you know it's all about the chartering

3394
04:00:44,360 --> 04:00:48,360
in the off season a boat like this goes for 60,000 a week

3395
04:00:48,360 --> 04:00:52,360
like right now yeah but who gets it though

3396
04:00:52,360 --> 04:00:56,360
exactly why you talk to the dude guy

3397
04:00:56,360 --> 04:01:00,360
so Luke what would we do? obviously

3398
04:01:00,360 --> 04:01:04,360
the upper deck here you kind of leave that as is

3399
04:01:04,360 --> 04:01:08,360
that's the party zone that's the hot tub zone

3400
04:01:08,360 --> 04:01:12,360
that's awesome all the RGB

3401
04:01:12,360 --> 04:01:16,360
some aesthetic changes but we're not making this part the landing

3402
04:01:16,360 --> 04:01:20,360
in here you make this like board game

3403
04:01:20,360 --> 04:01:24,360
board game land okay simple

3404
04:01:24,360 --> 04:01:28,360
because this looks like the under deck so it's not just a video game yacht

3405
04:01:28,360 --> 04:01:32,360
no no it's gaming yacht it's gaming in general yacht

3406
04:01:32,360 --> 04:01:36,360
gaming yacht for me personally

3407
04:01:36,360 --> 04:01:40,360
but I don't know anything about this so maybe he'd tell me what an incredibly

3408
04:01:40,360 --> 04:01:44,360
crazy idea this is but I would actually probably reduce the bedroomness

3409
04:01:44,360 --> 04:01:48,360
of it I would probably want to convert

3410
04:01:48,360 --> 04:01:52,360
some of the bedroom spaces more gaming spaces

3411
04:01:52,360 --> 04:01:56,360
that's a good question for the chartering side of it because we want to still make sure

3412
04:01:56,360 --> 04:02:00,360
that you can charter it so instead of like a room where you can smash

3413
04:02:00,360 --> 04:02:04,360
we'd have the smash room so you'd have like a big TV and a switch

3414
04:02:06,360 --> 04:02:10,360
different kind of switch oh

3415
04:02:12,360 --> 04:02:16,360
you'd probably want to keep the main bedroom you'd probably need to keep

3416
04:02:16,360 --> 04:02:20,360
like a cruise quarters of some sort right

3417
04:02:20,360 --> 04:02:24,360
but beyond that I would look at this and I would say no this is more of

3418
04:02:24,360 --> 04:02:28,360
like a we go out for a little cruise and we game we rent it

3419
04:02:28,360 --> 04:02:32,360
for like a bit as opposed to like we go on an expedition

3420
04:02:32,360 --> 04:02:36,360
kind of renovation yeah what if

3421
04:02:36,360 --> 04:02:40,360
you do like bunk bedroom yeah

3422
04:02:40,360 --> 04:02:44,360
obviously you wouldn't be able to

3423
04:02:44,360 --> 04:02:48,360
the TVs would need to go coming up with I think there's like

3424
04:02:48,360 --> 04:02:52,360
six bedrooms in this TV in the bedroom

3425
04:02:52,360 --> 04:02:56,360
six state rooms so coming up with like

3426
04:02:56,360 --> 04:03:00,360
a new unique purpose for each one of them you could do themes

3427
04:03:00,360 --> 04:03:04,360
you could do themes the switch room the xbox room yeah or like the Mario room

3428
04:03:04,360 --> 04:03:08,360
whatever yeah like you could do themed rooms could legitimately be sick

3429
04:03:10,360 --> 04:03:14,360
obviously we'd have to that is a multi monitor setup

3430
04:03:14,360 --> 04:03:18,360
to find some balance between you know adding some tech to it but also

3431
04:03:18,360 --> 04:03:22,360
you know not messing around with stuff that's good

3432
04:03:22,360 --> 04:03:26,360
because this stuff is friggin expensive oh yeah and whatever's in here

3433
04:03:26,360 --> 04:03:30,360
probably good enough to navigate probably don't want to

3434
04:03:30,360 --> 04:03:34,360
this room almost at all this is where you drive other than

3435
04:03:34,360 --> 04:03:38,360
make it like I don't know cool we could put some RGB strips around the top or something yeah you just don't want

3436
04:03:38,360 --> 04:03:42,360
I don't think you would like want very many people in there annoying for the

3437
04:03:42,360 --> 04:03:46,360
cat no I'm kidding you can still do something

3438
04:03:46,360 --> 04:03:50,360
sure we could put an RGB gaming keyboard on the computer in there

3439
04:03:50,360 --> 04:03:54,360
anyway in here this is where like the fun

3440
04:03:54,360 --> 04:03:58,360
happens this is where you create like an ultimate lounge maybe you mount like you get

3441
04:03:58,360 --> 04:04:02,360
rid of some of these Windows you mount like a samsung the wall here you know

3442
04:04:02,360 --> 04:04:06,360
well no you still want couches you want chairs right

3443
04:04:06,360 --> 04:04:10,360
no not down here that would be I think I'm

3444
04:04:10,360 --> 04:04:14,360
consistently forgetting the absurd scale of this

3445
04:04:14,360 --> 04:04:18,360
130 foot boat is absolutely bonkers

3446
04:04:18,360 --> 04:04:22,360
how many floors is it three so that was

3447
04:04:22,360 --> 04:04:26,360
I believe that was downstairs that you were just looking at no no up here is the pc

3448
04:04:26,360 --> 04:04:30,360
gaming this is the gate like the pc LAN there's probably a fourth floor

3449
04:04:30,360 --> 04:04:34,360
as well where the crew state rooms would be

3450
04:04:34,360 --> 04:04:38,360
they might hide them away but normally there is another like

3451
04:04:38,360 --> 04:04:42,360
in the in the bowels of the ship where they have

3452
04:04:42,360 --> 04:04:46,360
little tiny bunk beds that your actual crew would sleep on right because this would be

3453
04:04:46,360 --> 04:04:50,360
a staffed boat asking is this still available

3454
04:04:50,360 --> 04:04:54,360
will be ignored that's so funny

3455
04:04:54,360 --> 04:04:58,360
so anyway um

3456
04:05:00,360 --> 04:05:04,360
power consumption would be a major concern in our build

3457
04:05:04,360 --> 04:05:08,360
yeah no especially if we had large scale displays

3458
04:05:08,360 --> 04:05:12,360
we'd have to do something to make sure I would be actually be very interested

3459
04:05:12,360 --> 04:05:16,360
if anyone is working on a Ryzen

3460
04:05:16,360 --> 04:05:20,360
AI max like desktop like a mini desktop

3461
04:05:20,360 --> 04:05:24,360
I would be very interested in this because that right there is the

3462
04:05:24,360 --> 04:05:28,360
GPU and IO and these right here are the compute

3463
04:05:28,360 --> 04:05:32,360
dies this thing is crazy I feel like you'd want like super power efficient

3464
04:05:32,360 --> 04:05:36,360
spectacle computer oh definitely like on the like you know if you had

3465
04:05:36,360 --> 04:05:40,360
like an LED wall or something like that yeah you'd have something from like

3466
04:05:40,360 --> 04:05:44,360
Origin PC your main gear or whatever like that's just crazy

3467
04:05:44,360 --> 04:05:48,360
yeah that's like tricked out but the LAN PCs

3468
04:05:48,360 --> 04:05:52,360
I think they could be like Ryzen AI max totally I think so yeah

3469
04:05:52,360 --> 04:05:56,360
because you'd want maximum power efficiency um stock

3470
04:05:56,360 --> 04:06:00,360
stocko Tato says jack response dude honestly though

3471
04:06:00,360 --> 04:06:04,360
getting sponsorships for this project series

3472
04:06:04,360 --> 04:06:08,360
easy like easy because it's so cool

3473
04:06:08,360 --> 04:06:12,360
people don't do this nobody else does this gaming

3474
04:06:12,360 --> 04:06:16,360
yacht gaming yet as long as you don't touch the frame

3475
04:06:16,360 --> 04:06:20,360
my understanding is going to do pretty much whatever you want

3476
04:06:22,360 --> 04:06:26,360
or or hear me out actually no I'm not going to compare

3477
04:06:26,360 --> 04:06:30,360
to a plane maybe weight distribution to a very minor degree yeah maybe it's

3478
04:06:30,360 --> 04:06:34,360
130 foot what are you going to put in there lead good boy right it's hard

3479
04:06:34,360 --> 04:06:38,360
I mean you got to be careful with like waste and water and stuff like that but

3480
04:06:38,360 --> 04:06:42,360
most of the time it's like I don't know could we cool the PCs with seawater

3481
04:06:42,360 --> 04:06:46,360
that's what I want to know I was gonna yeah I mean you totally could with heat exchange

3482
04:06:46,360 --> 04:06:50,360
I mean maybe they also it might gum up the works because

3483
04:06:50,360 --> 04:06:54,360
you know seawater like I don't know water is used for cool gaming

3484
04:06:54,360 --> 04:06:58,360
mode where it like deploys the radiators down into the

3485
04:06:58,360 --> 04:07:02,360
water and then like some solar panels like fold out from the roof and it like deploys

3486
04:07:02,360 --> 04:07:06,360
like it like a like a starcraft 2 like siege tank I understand

3487
04:07:08,360 --> 04:07:12,360
so we go immobile and our like solar panels

3488
04:07:12,360 --> 04:07:16,360
on the top like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

3489
04:07:16,360 --> 04:07:20,360
and then the giant seawater radiators descend into the yeah

3490
04:07:20,360 --> 04:07:24,360
oh I'm getting the willies this is awesome he's so sick

3491
04:07:24,360 --> 04:07:28,360
that's not what people usually mean by willies Dan

3492
04:07:28,360 --> 04:07:32,360
it has nothing to do with your willy hmm

3493
04:07:32,360 --> 04:07:36,360
well I'm trying to keep it family friendly as Vito says would you paint the boat

3494
04:07:36,360 --> 04:07:40,360
well we better anything you store in the water in the ocean

3495
04:07:40,360 --> 04:07:44,360
you're gonna be painting on a pretty regular basis fantastic opportunity for a

3496
04:07:44,360 --> 04:07:48,360
sponsor collab oh dude deep brand good deep brand

3497
04:07:48,360 --> 04:07:52,360
deep brand wrapped my boat we have a

3498
04:07:52,360 --> 04:07:56,360
do I even want to say it we have a I don't know if I

3499
04:07:56,360 --> 04:08:00,360
hmm we have a wrapped in the way that your car originally was

3500
04:08:00,360 --> 04:08:04,360
skin on this boat

3501
04:08:04,360 --> 04:08:08,360
kind of hilarious dude it would be kind of hilarious it is

3502
04:08:08,360 --> 04:08:12,360
hard to get a sense of the scale of this thing this right I think I'm struggling

3503
04:08:12,360 --> 04:08:16,360
with this right here okay that

3504
04:08:16,360 --> 04:08:20,360
that is this this thing is a

3505
04:08:20,360 --> 04:08:24,360
floating freaking house this is a grill there

3506
04:08:24,360 --> 04:08:28,360
that'd be sick I know I could see you flipping burgers during

3507
04:08:28,360 --> 04:08:32,360
a land dude on a yak oh it doesn't have the geosynchronous

3508
04:08:32,360 --> 04:08:36,360
ones some of them have galleys that have them on a little like

3509
04:08:36,360 --> 04:08:40,360
hinge so that when the ship lists from side to side the grill

3510
04:08:40,360 --> 04:08:44,360
stays upright or the stove or the range in the in the galley we'd have to get one

3511
04:08:44,360 --> 04:08:48,360
of those like we could do that yeah we'd have to get one of those although

3512
04:08:48,360 --> 04:08:52,360
about this size it actually probably doesn't matter because it's not going to list as much

3513
04:08:52,360 --> 04:08:56,360
yeah this thing is freaking huge it depends where you go how

3514
04:08:56,360 --> 04:09:00,360
wide is the WAN set I think it's like WAN on a

3515
04:09:00,360 --> 04:09:04,360
yacht oh no dude I'm on a boat

3516
04:09:04,360 --> 04:09:08,360
do you want to do WAN on a boat the title makes itself the Yacht WAN

3517
04:09:08,360 --> 04:09:12,360
after dark is just when it gets late no I was I was thinking

3518
04:09:12,360 --> 04:09:16,360
of like the distance between 101 and 105 and if that

3519
04:09:16,360 --> 04:09:18,360
was even 130 feet

3520
04:09:20,360 --> 04:09:24,360
oh really like how wide are these buildings

3521
04:09:24,360 --> 04:09:28,360
130 feet is a big thing

3522
04:09:28,360 --> 04:09:32,360
it's like actually horrifying how large 130 foot

3523
04:09:32,360 --> 04:09:34,360
boat is

3524
04:09:36,360 --> 04:09:40,360
I think this would be a mistake I think this would be a mistake more

3525
04:09:40,360 --> 04:09:44,360
fast as says OMG phone the guy already pull the trigger

3526
04:09:44,360 --> 04:09:48,360
just call the guy go he will take you that's maybe

3527
04:09:48,360 --> 04:09:52,360
not necessarily I'll go see 130 feet is a

3528
04:09:52,360 --> 04:09:56,360
big boat you know you got a

3529
04:09:56,360 --> 04:10:00,360
60 foot boat for two and a half million 130 foot is just too much

3530
04:10:00,360 --> 04:10:04,360
boat tell me this Dan tell me this how do they transport this

3531
04:10:04,360 --> 04:10:08,360
on land does it just never go to land again

3532
04:10:08,360 --> 04:10:10,360
normally you just put it on a larger ship

3533
04:10:12,360 --> 04:10:16,360
there are boats that carry boats and they sink into the

3534
04:10:16,360 --> 04:10:20,360
water then pick up the boat okay tell me this tell me this

3535
04:10:20,360 --> 04:10:24,360
if we wanted to dry dock it while we were working

3536
04:10:24,360 --> 04:10:28,360
on it is that a thing even yeah absolutely how

3537
04:10:28,360 --> 04:10:32,360
like how do we could we move it inland or does it have to be like

3538
04:10:32,360 --> 04:10:36,360
you could probably put it on a trailer that would cost a lot of money but

3539
04:10:36,360 --> 04:10:40,360
it's this very few places that can deal with 130

3540
04:10:40,360 --> 04:10:44,360
but there are places there are larger boats than this

3541
04:10:44,360 --> 04:10:48,360
there's boats that are designed so that they can like partially sink themselves

3542
04:10:48,360 --> 04:10:52,360
to get under other boats and then raise back up out of the water and move them away

3543
04:10:52,360 --> 04:10:56,360
it's probably not going to be like crazy around here maybe on the island I don't exactly know

3544
04:10:58,360 --> 04:11:02,360
so you're saying AJ might move here if we get a tech yacht

3545
04:11:04,360 --> 04:11:08,360
the ice cream machine didn't do it the cookie

3546
04:11:08,360 --> 04:11:12,360
didn't do it maybe tech yacht

3547
04:11:14,360 --> 04:11:18,360
okay I'm just looking now we got it

3548
04:11:18,360 --> 04:11:22,360
I'm looking for a reference here because I think that

3549
04:11:22,360 --> 04:11:26,360
I'm right in this just give me a second okay

3550
04:11:26,360 --> 04:11:30,360
moving it is content oh my god actually probably would be a very interesting

3551
04:11:30,360 --> 04:11:34,360
yeah because like realistically we're going to want to do so much

3552
04:11:34,360 --> 04:11:38,360
stuff to it that I I wouldn't want to like

3553
04:11:38,360 --> 04:11:42,360
go down to the marina for our shoot every day

3554
04:11:42,360 --> 04:11:46,360
we actually be convenient to have it way closer to here

3555
04:11:46,360 --> 04:11:50,360
for reference you guys have both been to smash jams yeah

3556
04:11:50,360 --> 04:11:54,360
it is as long as there are the seven courts

3557
04:11:54,360 --> 04:11:58,360
it will fit in smash jams one of the halls

3558
04:11:58,360 --> 04:12:02,360
that is how long the boat is

3559
04:12:02,360 --> 04:12:06,360
oh that's too big that's gotta be unnecessary

3560
04:12:06,360 --> 04:12:10,360
everything that we listed out that you wanted to do I'm pretty sure we can do oh it'll do everything

3561
04:12:10,360 --> 04:12:14,360
and sleep for staff members call the guy

3562
04:12:14,360 --> 04:12:18,360
oh I don't know if I should call the guy that might just be too big 100

3563
04:12:18,360 --> 04:12:22,360
yeah I feel like you should call the guy just to see it because a lot of that

3564
04:12:22,360 --> 04:12:26,360
space is probably the other thing is that he's not just that boat he has

3565
04:12:26,360 --> 04:12:30,360
loads of boats and he could show you different ones and give you advice

3566
04:12:30,360 --> 04:12:34,360
and maybe help you make a recommendation or just talk to him just

3567
04:12:34,360 --> 04:12:38,360
have a fun day and go see the guy you don't have to see him just have a conversation

3568
04:12:38,360 --> 04:12:42,360
well no I'm gonna go see the guy go see the boat

3569
04:12:42,360 --> 04:12:46,360
and the boat okay I'll go see the guy yeah I'll go see the boat

3570
04:12:46,360 --> 04:12:50,360
cause even if you don't end up doing it like whatever that's cool I don't know

3571
04:12:50,360 --> 04:12:54,360
that's fun you gotta do fun things my nicest version of

3572
04:12:54,360 --> 04:12:58,360
fun is like I'm gonna stay home and look at my TV in my

3573
04:12:58,360 --> 04:13:02,360
look at my TV he's gonna be in the same room as his TV and then

3574
04:13:02,360 --> 04:13:06,360
reading comments on his phone yeah good call yeah I'm gonna

3575
04:13:06,360 --> 04:13:10,360
be upset because my family wants to watch the upstairs TV and I want to watch the

3576
04:13:10,360 --> 04:13:14,360
downstairs TV they want to watch the TV in the main galley

3577
04:13:14,360 --> 04:13:18,360
when they go look at a boat but it was so much work to build the downstairs

3578
04:13:18,360 --> 04:13:22,360
theater room why don't they want to watch them there maybe they'll watch it when

3579
04:13:22,360 --> 04:13:26,360
you're out on your boat maybe they just

3580
04:13:26,360 --> 04:13:30,360
that would be the time they chose I will say this I will say this

3581
04:13:30,360 --> 04:13:34,360
the wife approval factor of boat

3582
04:13:34,360 --> 04:13:38,360
is low much lower than wife approval factor

3583
04:13:38,360 --> 04:13:42,360
of tech plane I can't explain why

3584
04:13:42,360 --> 04:13:46,360
like I literally I know it's not like cause it's a secret I'm just telling you

3585
04:13:46,360 --> 04:13:50,360
that when I have had these conversations but tech plane doesn't sound like it's gonna be real

3586
04:13:50,360 --> 04:13:54,360
she literally can't even set foot on this thing

3587
04:13:54,360 --> 04:13:58,360
on a 130 foot boat cruise ships she gets real

3588
04:13:58,360 --> 04:14:02,360
she gets seasick on like the bc ferries yeah like no

3589
04:14:02,360 --> 04:14:04,360
she gets seasick

3590
04:14:06,360 --> 04:14:10,360
like tech plane is boring though yeah the tech boat

3591
04:14:10,360 --> 04:14:14,360
willing spy says boats get you laid dude I'm married

3592
04:14:14,360 --> 04:14:16,360
still work

3593
04:14:20,360 --> 04:14:24,360
you can get laid within your relationship okay that's a lie Luke

3594
04:14:24,360 --> 04:14:28,360
we all know that ah

3595
04:14:30,360 --> 04:14:34,360
look works okay

3596
04:14:34,360 --> 04:14:38,360
I have no comment now or ever on the traditionality

3597
04:14:38,360 --> 04:14:42,360
or non-traditionality of mine and Yvonne's sexual relationship

3598
04:14:42,360 --> 04:14:46,360
wait you're supposed to get laid when you're in a relationship

3599
04:14:46,360 --> 04:14:50,360
no comment I gotta make some calls

3600
04:14:52,360 --> 04:14:56,360
no comment I think it's time for

3601
04:14:56,360 --> 04:15:00,360
when after dark I feel like we've been in that mode

3602
04:15:00,360 --> 04:15:04,360
for a minute but you know

3603
04:15:06,360 --> 04:15:10,360
call the guy I think it'll be fun you don't even have to go see it

3604
04:15:10,360 --> 04:15:14,360
alright call the guy okay when after dark

3605
04:15:14,360 --> 04:15:18,360
could you get like a more cargo inspired plane and then have less issues

3606
04:15:18,360 --> 04:15:22,360
with if I wanted to pay for hauling around

3607
04:15:22,360 --> 04:15:26,360
a giant cargo plane I don't

3608
04:15:26,360 --> 04:15:30,360
the fuel burn is just yeah like some of those corporate jets

3609
04:15:30,360 --> 04:15:34,360
they're just like they're like a little tiny little just firing

3610
04:15:34,360 --> 04:15:38,360
through the air like they're that's how you that's how you keep the prices down

3611
04:15:40,360 --> 04:15:42,360
yes we're only now getting to when after dark

3612
04:15:44,360 --> 04:15:46,360
sorry

3613
04:15:48,360 --> 04:15:52,360
you know Linus was really worried about the meta topics on the show which automatically meant

3614
04:15:52,360 --> 04:15:56,360
it was going to be a fun and long wind show yeah

3615
04:15:56,360 --> 04:16:00,360
my brain stormed some stuff before the universe

3616
04:16:02,360 --> 04:16:06,360
you good Dan are you ready okay sorry

3617
04:16:06,360 --> 04:16:10,360
hello LLD I just turned 13 and I'm going to micro center for the first time

3618
04:16:10,360 --> 04:16:14,360
any recommendations for a first visit

3619
04:16:14,360 --> 04:16:18,360
also what do you think the future of mac gaming is will it improve

3620
04:16:18,360 --> 04:16:22,360
I mean I think it'll improve whether it improves

3621
04:16:22,360 --> 04:16:26,360
materially enough to make a difference that I don't have a crystal ball that'll

3622
04:16:26,360 --> 04:16:30,360
tell me as for recommendations for a first visit I would say

3623
04:16:30,360 --> 04:16:34,360
look around see everything you don't have to buy anything

3624
04:16:34,360 --> 04:16:38,360
I always loved just like hanging out at the computer store

3625
04:16:38,360 --> 04:16:42,360
no seriously if when my mom was headed into town near a future shop

3626
04:16:42,360 --> 04:16:46,360
or a best buy or something she would usually tell me and we'd go walk around for like

3627
04:16:46,360 --> 04:16:50,360
15 minutes and I would want to go with her on the trip just so I could do that

3628
04:16:50,360 --> 04:16:54,360
but you don't have to buy anything no I would buy generally nothing

3629
04:16:54,360 --> 04:16:58,360
surprise surprise but I would also

3630
04:16:58,360 --> 04:17:02,360
I would go to the keyboards see stuff experience it

3631
04:17:02,360 --> 04:17:06,360
and then fester before you actually spend any money especially experience it the reason why I said the keyboards

3632
04:17:06,360 --> 04:17:10,360
is because you can shop around online as much as you want but until you feel the switches

3633
04:17:10,360 --> 04:17:14,360
you're not going to know which one you like the most it doesn't matter how many times people describe them

3634
04:17:14,360 --> 04:17:18,360
you've got to fill it out to know what you're going to want and that doesn't mean buy a keyboard

3635
04:17:18,360 --> 04:17:22,360
at all but like it's a cool thing to be able to do that in person

3636
04:17:22,360 --> 04:17:26,360
and if I remember correctly you can do that at a micro center I've never actually been to one

3637
04:17:26,360 --> 04:17:30,360
they don't have them in Canada but

3638
04:17:30,360 --> 04:17:34,360
yeah if you can actually experience

3639
04:17:34,360 --> 04:17:38,360
stuff in person it's a fairly unique experience people are saying

3640
04:17:38,360 --> 04:17:42,360
yes you can yeah that's sweet man I would I would take that opportunity

3641
04:17:42,360 --> 04:17:46,360
hey Linus I've noticed that the segue

3642
04:17:46,360 --> 04:17:50,360
to our sponsor has evolved into just an obnoxious catchphrase lately

3643
04:17:50,360 --> 04:17:54,360
I miss when they were clever topical jokes is it something you've noticed as well

3644
04:17:56,360 --> 04:17:58,360
they've always been just taking the piss

3645
04:18:00,360 --> 04:18:04,360
the more you think things have changed the more they've stayed the same

3646
04:18:04,360 --> 04:18:08,360
sometimes we do it in a bit more of a creative way

3647
04:18:08,360 --> 04:18:12,360
and other times we are just

3648
04:18:12,360 --> 04:18:14,360
completely self-referential about it

3649
04:18:16,360 --> 04:18:20,360
sometimes they are intentionally terrible

3650
04:18:20,360 --> 04:18:24,360
sometimes there will be one that's better that the writer has written

3651
04:18:24,360 --> 04:18:26,360
and I'll be in a mood and I'll make it way worse

3652
04:18:30,360 --> 04:18:34,360
that sounds about right yeah I don't know what to tell you that definitely sounds about right

3653
04:18:34,360 --> 04:18:38,360
yeah yellow, Linus, Lan and Luke

3654
04:18:38,360 --> 04:18:42,360
why are server chassis so expensive they are less flashy

3655
04:18:42,360 --> 04:18:46,360
than most normal consumer cases but often twice the price finding cheap

3656
04:18:46,360 --> 04:18:50,360
racks also sucks I can tell you that because there's so much more metal in them

3657
04:18:50,360 --> 04:18:54,360
they've got to be rigid because the way they slide them in and out

3658
04:18:54,360 --> 04:18:58,360
they've got to come with rails it's also just enterprise stuff

3659
04:18:58,360 --> 04:19:02,360
it's also lower volume like when you buy a $40 computer

3660
04:19:02,360 --> 04:19:06,360
case off of Newegg or whatever they're making hundreds of thousands of those

3661
04:19:06,360 --> 04:19:10,360
things when you buy like a server chassis I mean you don't even really get to buy

3662
04:19:10,360 --> 04:19:14,360
server chassis from very many companies most of them are just they're doing integration

3663
04:19:14,360 --> 04:19:18,360
now like I don't know

3664
04:19:18,360 --> 04:19:22,360
thousands they might make like I couldn't give you an exact idea of what the volumes are

3665
04:19:22,360 --> 04:19:26,360
but they're definitely very very different

3666
04:19:26,360 --> 04:19:30,360
and anytime you're buying it's also the intention

3667
04:19:30,360 --> 04:19:34,360
most people who buy a server are doing it with some kind of business intent

3668
04:19:34,360 --> 04:19:38,360
and there's just automatically a markup for that anytime

3669
04:19:38,360 --> 04:19:42,360
your product is helping someone else make money their value

3670
04:19:42,360 --> 04:19:46,360
calculus for that product becomes very different than if they're just

3671
04:19:46,360 --> 04:19:50,360
using it to consume water or whatever the case may be yeah

3672
04:19:50,360 --> 04:19:54,360
hey oh finally needed to get the stick locks

3673
04:19:54,360 --> 04:19:58,360
glad you still carry them after all this time how do you decide

3674
04:19:58,360 --> 04:20:02,360
which LTT Store items are to live perpetually

3675
04:20:02,360 --> 04:20:06,360
on the store well those we just produced too many

3676
04:20:06,360 --> 04:20:10,360
because our cost on them was pretty low and we were like oh yeah these should do well

3677
04:20:10,360 --> 04:20:14,360
and then they did well but not that well and so we still have them

3678
04:20:14,360 --> 04:20:18,360
if you see something on the store that you like and it's in stock

3679
04:20:18,360 --> 04:20:22,360
you should buy it because a lot of the time

3680
04:20:22,360 --> 04:20:26,360
even if we did want to reorder it like with the indoor hoody indoor hoody was a nightmare

3681
04:20:26,360 --> 04:20:30,360
because our situation with the

3682
04:20:30,360 --> 04:20:34,360
existing manufacturer was not tenable and

3683
04:20:34,360 --> 04:20:38,360
sourcing that material again was impossible

3684
04:20:38,360 --> 04:20:40,360
so if you see something you like just get it

3685
04:20:42,360 --> 04:20:46,360
Luke has an 8 sleep owner what are your thoughts on companies

3686
04:20:46,360 --> 04:20:50,360
removing features after purchase referring to the removal of support for home

3687
04:20:50,360 --> 04:20:54,360
assistant and requiring internet to function at all

3688
04:20:54,360 --> 04:20:58,360
my ownership and usage of it is not an endorsement of it

3689
04:20:58,360 --> 04:21:02,360
nor is mine very endorsement you still use one

3690
04:21:02,360 --> 04:21:06,360
we don't work with them anymore though as LMG

3691
04:21:06,360 --> 04:21:10,360
so that's just my personal 8 sleep mattress

3692
04:21:10,360 --> 04:21:14,360
mine is a personal one as well I bought it we are both boys

3693
04:21:14,360 --> 04:21:18,360
who tend to burn at night with ladies who

3694
04:21:18,360 --> 04:21:20,360
tend to freeze

3695
04:21:22,360 --> 04:21:26,360
my quality of life is improved by having it I will not tell you

3696
04:21:26,360 --> 04:21:30,360
to buy one I do not appreciate their business practices I do not appreciate

3697
04:21:30,360 --> 04:21:34,360
the way that they use their software

3698
04:21:34,360 --> 04:21:38,360
I do not appreciate the closed sourceness of it someone messaged me in

3699
04:21:38,360 --> 04:21:42,360
full plan chat last week saying that there's an open source

3700
04:21:42,360 --> 04:21:46,360
thing where somebody found a way to get around it and

3701
04:21:46,360 --> 04:21:50,360
unlock those features anyways maybe look into something like that I don't know

3702
04:21:50,360 --> 04:21:54,360
I don't know anything about it mine

3703
04:21:54,360 --> 04:21:58,360
to be honest I have it cranked to be as cold as it can possibly

3704
04:21:58,360 --> 04:22:02,360
be 100% of the time and that is the best thing it could possibly be for me

3705
04:22:02,360 --> 04:22:04,360
so I don't need it

3706
04:22:08,360 --> 04:22:12,360
I don't know it's not an endorsement I almost like regret that

3707
04:22:12,360 --> 04:22:16,360
people know that I have one because I think that people know that I have one and then

3708
04:22:16,360 --> 04:22:20,360
assume that it's an endorsement and it's not hi

3709
04:22:20,360 --> 04:22:24,360
yay trade wars Luke any cool factory tours you've gone

3710
04:22:24,360 --> 04:22:28,360
on recently or have scheduled I don't know if we can talk about

3711
04:22:28,360 --> 04:22:32,360
the one we have scheduled can we talk about that

3712
04:22:32,360 --> 04:22:36,360
I think so I think we can't say when do you want to double check that we can talk about it

3713
04:22:36,360 --> 04:22:40,360
before we talk about it I'm rather certain we can talk about it we just can't say when okay and

3714
04:22:40,360 --> 04:22:44,360
the details sure we can say like where sure

3715
04:22:44,360 --> 04:22:48,360
so going back to NASA and I'm bringing

3716
04:22:48,360 --> 04:22:52,360
other people more different people and that includes Sir Linus here

3717
04:22:52,360 --> 04:22:56,360
and it's going to be great no video don't get your hopes up no video it is

3718
04:22:56,360 --> 04:23:00,360
not content but it will make me content

3719
04:23:00,360 --> 04:23:04,360
this will be the give me the thing

3720
04:23:06,360 --> 04:23:10,360
I'm pretty sure this is the first trip we've ever been on that isn't work

3721
04:23:10,360 --> 04:23:14,360
together holy crap that's sort of terrible a little bit

3722
04:23:14,360 --> 04:23:18,360
that's kind of embarrassing actually I think it's true though I think you might be right

3723
04:23:18,360 --> 04:23:22,360
that dude that's that's a little rough

3724
04:23:22,360 --> 04:23:26,360
that's not great you had kids it makes sense I'm not that worried

3725
04:23:26,360 --> 04:23:30,360
what's your excuse what do you think

3726
04:23:30,360 --> 04:23:34,360
what do you think but yeah that'll be exciting

3727
04:23:34,360 --> 04:23:38,360
I'm also I'm going to try to link up with some dude

3728
04:23:38,360 --> 04:23:42,360
who has wheat fields and I want to go run the combine

3729
04:23:42,360 --> 04:23:46,360
that's going to happen later this year you're not going to like Seifmo or something

3730
04:23:46,360 --> 04:23:50,360
are you no no no but I want to drive the combine

3731
04:23:50,360 --> 04:23:54,360
I think that would be sick there's another dude that invited me to go

3732
04:23:54,360 --> 04:23:58,360
you're actually going to play farming simulator in real life that is an actual goal

3733
04:23:58,360 --> 04:24:02,360
Dan and I were talking earlier today about how like you know sometimes

3734
04:24:02,360 --> 04:24:06,360
things get really complicated you just want to do something dramatically different

3735
04:24:06,360 --> 04:24:10,360
like there's this old joke that like an ideal day for a programmer

3736
04:24:10,360 --> 04:24:14,360
would be four days of like hardcore coding in the morning and then just like

3737
04:24:14,360 --> 04:24:18,360
move boxes for the rest of the day yeah like you want to

3738
04:24:18,360 --> 04:24:22,360
shift what your brain is working on what your body is working on etc

3739
04:24:22,360 --> 04:24:26,360
and I had this thought after that conversation of like I think I've really

3740
04:24:26,360 --> 04:24:30,360
identified the thing that I like doing when I take vacation

3741
04:24:30,360 --> 04:24:32,360
which is just other work

3742
04:24:34,360 --> 04:24:38,360
but like very different like I'm very excited to go run

3743
04:24:38,360 --> 04:24:42,360
the combine for a while that sounds great that's like

3744
04:24:42,360 --> 04:24:46,360
that's like peak possible thing that I could do on a vacation

3745
04:24:46,360 --> 04:24:50,360
just don't get murdered by Gordon Freeman no it should be fine

3746
04:24:50,360 --> 04:24:54,360
Luke needs to return to monkey I think you're not doing enough

3747
04:24:54,360 --> 04:24:58,360
like actual physical things you're not exuding your will into the universe

3748
04:24:58,360 --> 04:25:02,360
you're just kind of making computers do stuff we were talking about digging a ditch

3749
04:25:02,360 --> 04:25:06,360
and I got excited yeah digging a ditch is a great example

3750
04:25:06,360 --> 04:25:10,360
that sounds sick I don't want to do this every day I don't want to do it every day

3751
04:25:10,360 --> 04:25:14,360
but man if I can go do that for a week and like just really

3752
04:25:14,360 --> 04:25:18,360
get into it for a week like this is a this is very white color

3753
04:25:18,360 --> 04:25:22,360
work type person yeah these are very white color

3754
04:25:22,360 --> 04:25:26,360
world problems absolutely totally

3755
04:25:26,360 --> 04:25:30,360
absolutely the masculine urge to dig a hole says to catch

3756
04:25:30,360 --> 04:25:34,360
actually that's what I'm talking about when I'm talking about digging a ditch do that stuff

3757
04:25:34,360 --> 04:25:36,360
because I just have meetings

3758
04:25:38,360 --> 04:25:42,360
Linus is addicted to comments and Luke is addicted to work

3759
04:25:42,360 --> 04:25:46,360
Linus being addicted to comments is Linus being addicted to work just to be clear

3760
04:25:48,360 --> 04:25:52,360
Anywho moving on

3761
04:25:52,360 --> 04:25:56,360
hello LLD Linus my harmony remote and hub died

3762
04:25:56,360 --> 04:26:00,360
I'm looking for a replacement you mentioned testing the sofa baton x1

3763
04:26:00,360 --> 04:26:04,360
sofa baton any updates

3764
04:26:04,360 --> 04:26:08,360
or new recommendations I tried it and I found the setup process

3765
04:26:08,360 --> 04:26:12,360
so obtuse that I resolved to just eBay a harmony

3766
04:26:12,360 --> 04:26:16,360
but I did not put I did not invest significant time

3767
04:26:16,360 --> 04:26:20,360
into it and realistically the harmony setup is pretty obtuse too

3768
04:26:20,360 --> 04:26:24,360
so make of that what you will my answer is no I don't have

3769
04:26:24,360 --> 04:26:28,360
a recommendation and no I haven't tried switchbots new remote but

3770
04:26:28,360 --> 04:26:32,360
we do have a video coming on just kind of

3771
04:26:32,360 --> 04:26:36,360
building a brain dead simple media setup for smash champs

3772
04:26:36,360 --> 04:26:40,360
so that customers can use it and play switch games and tune into badminton matches

3773
04:26:40,360 --> 04:26:44,360
and stuff on the TV in the lounge Elijah is working on it so maybe it will

3774
04:26:44,360 --> 04:26:48,360
include some of these things or maybe it won't I don't know

3775
04:26:48,360 --> 04:26:52,360
I'll find out about a week or two before you guys do

3776
04:26:52,360 --> 04:26:56,360
when we film the video I just suggested a HDMI

3777
04:26:56,360 --> 04:27:00,360
switching box but well

3778
04:27:00,360 --> 04:27:04,360
let's see hey DLO I recently was promoted to a manager

3779
04:27:04,360 --> 04:27:08,360
at the toy store I work at and I'm curious to know if any of you have any advice

3780
04:27:08,360 --> 04:27:12,360
for something new someone new to a management and leadership position

3781
04:27:12,360 --> 04:27:16,360
you have two ears and one mouth

3782
04:27:16,360 --> 04:27:20,360
use them accordingly your job is

3783
04:27:20,360 --> 04:27:24,360
not really to be better than all the people that you manage

3784
04:27:24,360 --> 04:27:28,360
your job is to use them as well as you can your job is to make their lives easier

3785
04:27:28,360 --> 04:27:32,360
so that they can do the best they can do

3786
04:27:32,360 --> 04:27:36,360
don't do their job for them don't micro it

3787
04:27:38,360 --> 04:27:42,360
evening boys Linus I just got my

3788
04:27:42,360 --> 04:27:46,360
S25 Ultra yesterday and I'm mostly loving it how are you feeling about the

3789
04:27:46,360 --> 04:27:50,360
switch back from iOS? I haven't yet

3790
04:27:50,360 --> 04:27:54,360
Samsung does not let us keep devices that they seed us

3791
04:27:54,360 --> 04:27:58,360
so I don't actually have one yet

3792
04:27:58,360 --> 04:28:02,360
so that one that one went back to Samsung

3793
04:28:02,360 --> 04:28:06,360
hello best Luke Dan and second best Linus

3794
04:28:06,360 --> 04:28:10,360
on YouTube which Linus is better

3795
04:28:10,360 --> 04:28:14,360
probably it's horrible some of the hockey players are pretty cool

3796
04:28:14,360 --> 04:28:18,360
he said on YouTube though there's a couple hockey players

3797
04:28:18,360 --> 04:28:22,360
everyone's on YouTube why are CPUs and motherboard sold separately

3798
04:28:22,360 --> 04:28:26,360
instead of being soldered together do you think this will ever become the norm

3799
04:28:26,360 --> 04:28:30,360
I mean you can buy ones that are soldered

3800
04:28:30,360 --> 04:28:34,360
you can especially on like Chinese market places

3801
04:28:34,360 --> 04:28:38,360
where they'll have like mobile chips that are manufactured

3802
04:28:38,360 --> 04:28:42,360
onto desktop boards and stuff in some markets they are quite

3803
04:28:42,360 --> 04:28:46,360
popular I am looking at

3804
04:28:46,360 --> 04:28:50,360
the way the way the winds

3805
04:28:50,360 --> 04:28:54,360
are blowing we actually did a video a little while back

3806
04:28:54,360 --> 04:28:58,360
buy it or build a computer while you still can

3807
04:28:58,360 --> 04:29:02,360
yeah it made me sad this is a good

3808
04:29:02,360 --> 04:29:06,360
conversation about the direction things are going and how

3809
04:29:06,360 --> 04:29:10,360
with RAM speeds going up

3810
04:29:10,360 --> 04:29:14,360
and signal integrity being a challenge and

3811
04:29:14,360 --> 04:29:18,360
tighter integration continuing to be

3812
04:29:18,360 --> 04:29:22,360
advantageous from both a cost and performance and also even an

3813
04:29:22,360 --> 04:29:26,360
economic perspective it does feel like a matter of time

3814
04:29:26,360 --> 04:29:30,360
before they come fully integrated gonna be a sad day

3815
04:29:30,360 --> 04:29:32,360
maybe

3816
04:29:34,360 --> 04:29:38,360
Linus are you still using the ASUS 27 inch 4K OLED

3817
04:29:38,360 --> 04:29:42,360
at home from the video a few weeks ago or did you switch back to something larger

3818
04:29:42,360 --> 04:29:46,360
I am still using it I am tempted sometimes to switch to something

3819
04:29:46,360 --> 04:29:50,360
larger especially like I haven't fired up ANO lately

3820
04:29:50,360 --> 04:29:54,360
and part of the reason is that

3821
04:29:54,360 --> 04:29:58,360
my monitor is kind of too small I love

3822
04:29:58,360 --> 04:30:02,360
having my world laid out in front of me

3823
04:30:02,360 --> 04:30:06,360
I guess I could play upstairs where I still have a 42 inch monitor

3824
04:30:06,360 --> 04:30:10,360
but I do most of my gaming downstairs now because my kids are down there

3825
04:30:10,360 --> 04:30:14,360
wherever my kids are I want to be near

3826
04:30:14,360 --> 04:30:18,360
I want to be hanging out so no I am still using the 27 inch

3827
04:30:18,360 --> 04:30:22,360
FLEX that's a really nice size

3828
04:30:22,360 --> 04:30:26,360
what size is that thing again maybe on FLEX

3829
04:30:26,360 --> 04:30:30,360
I want to say like 38 inch 45 that's a 45 inch display

3830
04:30:30,360 --> 04:30:34,360
that thing is that thing is sick I could also probably do

3831
04:30:34,360 --> 04:30:38,360
like I could probably do 32 at 4K

3832
04:30:38,360 --> 04:30:42,360
that's what PLUF uses and that's a really nice size too 27 is feeling a little

3833
04:30:42,360 --> 04:30:46,360
a little small but you can't fault

3834
04:30:46,360 --> 04:30:50,360
the picture clarity man that pixel density

3835
04:30:54,360 --> 04:30:58,360
wait oh I got totally confused no the one I'm running

3836
04:30:58,360 --> 04:31:02,360
is actually the one from the previous ASUS video the 1440p

3837
04:31:02,360 --> 04:31:06,360
480 hertz or 500 hertz one or whatever sorry sorry sorry

3838
04:31:06,360 --> 04:31:10,360
so that's why I haven't changed it out is because the high refresh rate is crazy

3839
04:31:10,360 --> 04:31:14,360
the reason I was thinking 4K 240 is because we have a video coming

3840
04:31:14,360 --> 04:31:18,360
shot in my basement earlier this week

3841
04:31:18,360 --> 04:31:22,360
where we were looking at a 4K 240 hertz that is still there

3842
04:31:22,360 --> 04:31:26,360
but no I will be swapping it out for the 500 hertz sorry sorry sorry sorry

3843
04:31:26,360 --> 04:31:30,360
27 inches is feeling a little small these days though

3844
04:31:30,360 --> 04:31:34,360
but 500 hertz man it's wild it's wild

3845
04:31:34,360 --> 04:31:38,360
okay odd question but hear me out since Linus has

3846
04:31:38,360 --> 04:31:42,360
impeccable taste in painting cars I was wondering what color he suggests I paint my car

3847
04:31:42,360 --> 04:31:46,360
it's a 1998 color currently silver

3848
04:31:46,360 --> 04:31:50,360
JDM Subaru Legacy what

3849
04:31:50,360 --> 04:31:54,360
I don't even know what this car is JDM Legacy

3850
04:31:54,360 --> 04:31:58,360
okay oh okay that's pretty cool

3851
04:31:58,360 --> 04:32:02,360
is this it oh man that's a

3852
04:32:02,360 --> 04:32:06,360
that's a cool car what would I

3853
04:32:06,360 --> 04:32:10,360
pink and green we can do better than that

3854
04:32:10,360 --> 04:32:14,360
I love the something with this car we'll paint it

3855
04:32:14,360 --> 04:32:18,360
whatever color you suggest so do be careful I love the

3856
04:32:18,360 --> 04:32:22,360
keeping the Subaru classic like gold rims so you need a color that

3857
04:32:22,360 --> 04:32:26,360
accents the gold rims well oh man

3858
04:32:26,360 --> 04:32:30,360
see that's why we went purple on poofs

3859
04:32:30,360 --> 04:32:34,360
because I thought the purple and gold look was royal AF

3860
04:32:34,360 --> 04:32:38,360
purple would probably look I think really sick

3861
04:32:38,360 --> 04:32:42,360
I think purple would be amazing you gotta keep the gold rims though

3862
04:32:42,360 --> 04:32:46,360
I feel like that's like ooh shoe as yen

3863
04:32:46,360 --> 04:32:50,360
says emerald green that's not bad either that would probably be sick

3864
04:32:50,360 --> 04:32:52,360
especially if you get some flake in there

3865
04:32:54,360 --> 04:32:58,360
you could do like a purple to green like pearlescent

3866
04:32:58,360 --> 04:33:02,360
that's expensive though I don't want to recommend somebody by that that's just a lot of money

3867
04:33:02,360 --> 04:33:06,360
but if they did want to spend the money I'm gonna say purple

3868
04:33:06,360 --> 04:33:10,360
gold green with the flake it's gonna be like a dark purple though

3869
04:33:10,360 --> 04:33:14,360
alright hit me Dan

3870
04:33:14,360 --> 04:33:18,360
looking forward to yoga pants for my spouse so many out there

3871
04:33:18,360 --> 04:33:22,360
suck and your team makes it great Linus how do you feel about live action

3872
04:33:22,360 --> 04:33:26,360
how to train your dragon movie I haven't kept up with anything

3873
04:33:26,360 --> 04:33:30,360
I saw the initial trailer and then that's realistically the most

3874
04:33:30,360 --> 04:33:34,360
I want to know about a movie that I'm gonna watch so I'm gonna intentionally

3875
04:33:34,360 --> 04:33:38,360
um cloister cloister is that the one cloister myself

3876
04:33:38,360 --> 04:33:42,360
whatever I'm gonna I'm gonna avoid it it looks like they're staying very

3877
04:33:42,360 --> 04:33:46,360
true to the original cloister no it's not a sequester

3878
04:33:46,360 --> 04:33:50,360
no not the sequester the the mollusk pokemon

3879
04:33:54,360 --> 04:33:56,360
such a red reference

3880
04:33:58,360 --> 04:34:02,360
people aren't even trying to be helpful when have we ever

3881
04:34:04,360 --> 04:34:08,360
oh man anyway I'm avoiding any

3882
04:34:08,360 --> 04:34:12,360
information about it I will watch it I it feels

3883
04:34:12,360 --> 04:34:16,360
like kind of unnecessary especially because the original is perfect

3884
04:34:16,360 --> 04:34:20,360
it's a perfect movie it's the best movie but

3885
04:34:20,360 --> 04:34:24,360
I'll watch it and hopefully they don't ruin it too bad it looks like it's pretty true to the original

3886
04:34:24,360 --> 04:34:28,360
should I see how to train your dragon Linus the last movie you recommended me was

3887
04:34:28,360 --> 04:34:32,360
not fun what movie did I recommend you the breakfast club

3888
04:34:32,360 --> 04:34:36,360
oh pfft yeah but I recommended it to you because it was terrible

3889
04:34:36,360 --> 04:34:40,360
wait you've never seen how to train your dragon I have not

3890
04:34:40,360 --> 04:34:44,360
oh it's a perfect movie it's the best it's literally the best okay

3891
04:34:48,360 --> 04:34:52,360
let's see I've got one more here

3892
04:34:52,360 --> 04:34:56,360
Luke have you tried stalker I know you enjoy talkar but hate the cheaters in company

3893
04:34:56,360 --> 04:35:00,360
talkar took a lot of information from stalker I highly recommend stalker 2

3894
04:35:00,360 --> 04:35:04,360
or gamma don't know what the gamma is

3895
04:35:04,360 --> 04:35:08,360
if I remember correctly gamma is a really heavily

3896
04:35:08,360 --> 04:35:12,360
modded stalker stalker gamma

3897
04:35:12,360 --> 04:35:16,360
yeah stalker anomaly mod yeah but it's like

3898
04:35:16,360 --> 04:35:20,360
it's like the way to play that game as far as my understanding goes

3899
04:35:20,360 --> 04:35:24,360
get out of here gamma it's what the titular

3900
04:35:24,360 --> 04:35:28,360
stalker character says to the radiation

3901
04:35:28,360 --> 04:35:32,360
people Dan's losing it

3902
04:35:32,360 --> 04:35:36,360
I've been recommended stalker like a trillion times I never played it

3903
04:35:36,360 --> 04:35:40,360
when I was younger and honestly the graphics look

3904
04:35:40,360 --> 04:35:44,360
pretty rough to go back to I might

3905
04:35:44,360 --> 04:35:48,360
at some point I was very interested in the new stalker game coming out but then

3906
04:35:48,360 --> 04:35:52,360
whatever it's called stalker supposed to have this really cool AI system

3907
04:35:54,360 --> 04:35:58,360
oh my goodness saying that these days puts the wrong

3908
04:35:58,360 --> 04:36:02,360
idea in people's heads is shadow of Chernobyl the first one

3909
04:36:02,360 --> 04:36:06,360
that rings a bell I believe that's the like full title

3910
04:36:08,360 --> 04:36:12,360
it's just looking at the long long time yeah this seems

3911
04:36:12,360 --> 04:36:16,360
like kind of half life too yeah it's pretty old

3912
04:36:16,360 --> 04:36:20,360
gamma is quite modded and even gamma looks pretty

3913
04:36:20,360 --> 04:36:24,360
old I mean maybe if there's like an RTX remix

3914
04:36:24,360 --> 04:36:28,360
for it or something I would definitely jump on that

3915
04:36:28,360 --> 04:36:32,360
the new stalker looks really cool but there's this

3916
04:36:32,360 --> 04:36:36,360
yeah NPC AI system thing

3917
04:36:36,360 --> 04:36:38,360
where it's supposed to be like

3918
04:36:40,360 --> 04:36:44,360
the way that I got it explained to me is that your actions even very small ones

3919
04:36:44,360 --> 04:36:48,360
are supposed to quake through the NPCs in the world very heavily

3920
04:36:50,360 --> 04:36:54,360
and as far as my understanding goes that was like wasn't working

3921
04:36:54,360 --> 04:36:58,360
on release of the new stalker game so I've been kind of just biting my time

3922
04:36:58,360 --> 04:37:02,360
for it to be good

3923
04:37:02,360 --> 04:37:06,360
and I've been biting my time to tell you guys hey we'll see you again next week

3924
04:37:06,360 --> 04:37:10,360
same bad time same bad channel bye

3925
04:37:16,360 --> 04:37:18,360
I have to pee again

3926
04:37:22,360 --> 04:37:26,360
how come land's been crashing like this
