WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.400
I'm Sarah. I'm a graphic designer and occasional host here at Linus Media Group slash Creator Warehouse.

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

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

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

00:00:25.040 --> 00:00:31.440
I started as a graphic designer and I'm still a graphic designer. I didn't know I was going to end up doing videos at all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:02.320
and then everybody else already had hiding spots kind of figured out and I was just running

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

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:13.760
They say there's no such thing in life as free lunch. But here at Linus Media Group, we don't believe in that.

00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:18.960
So we're going to be playing Extreme Hide and Seek in our 8,000 square foot head office

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:06.000
Pardon? We really need to do this again. Yes, I would love to do another Hide and Seek video.

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

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

00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.880
So much pressure! Can't imagine how many people we have. It's going to be a lot more difficult to find places.

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

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

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

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

00:02:32.480 --> 00:02:36.000
Over here, I guess. I am going to see if I will fit in this box.

00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.640
Oh, you have to do this point! I'd break. Yes!

00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:44.160
1,800 Got Junk can make it disappear. Typical YouTube.

00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.480
Oh, two ads. Two features consider you best.

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

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

00:02:57.040 --> 00:03:02.160
You guys took my spot! Colton, you took my other spot.

00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:07.040
I don't think this is going to work. You can't see, but it's pretty high up.

00:03:08.160 --> 00:03:14.800
It comes from the bottom of the game. It comes from the top. I'm just going to hide in the stairwell.

00:03:16.640 --> 00:03:18.160
This is a terrible hiding spot.

00:03:20.640 --> 00:03:22.240
Now you can do yourself.

00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:25.280
I'm going in.

00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:32.160
It's so cool to play hide and seek with a ton of creatives.

00:03:32.160 --> 00:03:36.480
Because I feel like we really go out of our way to find a spot that's just like

00:03:37.440 --> 00:03:42.720
impossible to find. Riley had a drill to take apart boards from the wall.

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:45.680
Like, who else would do that?

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

00:03:58.160 --> 00:04:04.720
Is that even fair? Probably not, but I guess they get credit for trying, right?

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.120
They're bad hiders. Oh my god, I can't even see you.

00:04:10.480 --> 00:04:11.840
Are you ready? I'm ready.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:20.640
Actually, this could be harder than I thought. You know, I wonder if I should get farther away from the entryway.

00:04:20.640 --> 00:04:24.400
Just because if they're smart, they won't be that close to the door so they don't...

00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:29.120
Wow, the building looks so different than it does now.

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:35.920
Get found right away. The thing is, once you're found the first time, you're completely out.

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

00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:43.840
They are more hidden than I thought they would be.

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

00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:52.240
No one-on-one, okay.

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

00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:03.120
So I can just still quiet now?

00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:06.960
I have three minutes, okay.

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:12.240
Dennis, shut up.

00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:19.760
Are you guys just trolling me? Am I on to something here?

00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:21.840
I don't think there's anybody actually hiding.

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

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.920
Well, there's one.

00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.240
The funny thing is where Ed hid was my initial hiding spot and then I was like,

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.440
screw it, I'll help him hide in the box and then I will try to figure out where else I'm gonna go.

00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:48.240
He ended up getting found first, so maybe it's a good thing I didn't hide there.

00:05:49.280 --> 00:05:52.320
You definitely stacked with your good karma. Yeah, exactly.

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.000
Linus was just on the other side of this door.

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:01.680
And he didn't see me. Ed, you're officially the worst.

00:06:03.840 --> 00:06:08.960
This part was so scary because you can hear Linus and you can hear Dennis getting closer

00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:17.520
and they were right there. I felt like the kids in that scene in Jurassic Park where the velociraptors are like chasing them around the kitchen.

00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:22.880
That's exactly what it was like. I don't believe that there's anyone else.

00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:30.560
Yeah, there's storage things here. I forgot about that. I was so incredibly close to being found.

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

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

00:06:41.760 --> 00:06:49.520
What? He's no ceilings. See you later. David's hiding spot is genius, but I still don't really understand how he got in there.

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

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

00:06:58.080 --> 00:06:59.920
It worked. He's gonna hide in this box.

00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.840
Cole, what are you doing? What are you doing in there, Cole?

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.760
No, nope. Can't fit in there.

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

00:07:14.320 --> 00:07:22.640
I love the team interactions in these videos because it is so true to exactly what life around the office is like.

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

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.760
Wait a minute.

00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:34.800
I'm too fat to fit under the bed. Going under the props.

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

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.240
I can't see it at all. Okay, cool. Linus is coming.

00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:46.720
Go. Got a D.

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:56.400
Another ad. I love how confident Linus is, but in the end,

00:07:56.400 --> 00:08:00.560
he ends up cheating anyways. Okay, okay. God damn it.

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.400
God Mark! Hello. Hello there.

00:08:06.640 --> 00:08:10.320
Got Colton. Got Colton.

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

00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.080
Oh, wow. No one under the bed.

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

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:28.880
How do I know they're not cheating?

00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:34.240
I'm not going to speak. There's no way. 40 seconds.

00:08:36.560 --> 00:08:40.960
There's one. I thought my hiding spot was so good.

00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:48.320
So good. I was like, there's no way anybody's going to find me in here. But I was also so stressed that people were judging me for like walking in and then just

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.680
making myself small enough to go under the kitchen sink.

00:08:54.640 --> 00:08:59.120
I feel like it was like either Alex or Anthony sitting across.

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:04.480
And I was like, do I ask them for help? Because I was just so nervous, still getting to know people.

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:10.320
And then also crawling in underneath the kitchen sink in the writer's area.

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.600
But it didn't end up saving me.

00:09:15.600 --> 00:09:17.280
That's where I was found. I'm nervous down.

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:22.480
It was a good spot. Just not good enough.

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.960
That's 10 seconds. 10 seconds. Three, two, one, dance.

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.280
Let's go out. Out. One of us is out.

00:09:34.400 --> 00:09:37.600
I've never been so scared of Dennis's voice until this video.

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:44.320
Wait, what? Yeah, he came in here the last minute and Dennis knew I was in here.

00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.240
And Dennis was like, what? Your office?

00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:49.440
Got up. Oh my god.

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:55.120
I think I'm going to win, right? 1-0-3 only. Where's everyone?

00:09:57.760 --> 00:10:02.080
You just were usually won. I think David's going to win. He's a wily guy.

00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.520
Oh, 1-0-3. This is 1-0-3, right? No. Oh, s***.

00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:08.640
How much time do I have? One minute. Dennis, how do I look?

00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:11.680
It's good. Dennis was going to give me 10 minutes every round.

00:10:11.680 --> 00:10:15.200
And I was like, five. Extreme hide and seek.

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:16.320
We got the hide part.

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.720
50% as good as other. Oh, no. We have a thermal camera.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:58.240
Wait, does it include this office? No, no, no, that's 1-0-2.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:14.000
It was the garbage bag. So literally being trash makes you the winner of hide and seek.

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

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

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

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

00:12:31.920 --> 00:12:35.680
I was pretty confident I was going to win. I gave myself like a three out of four chance.

00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:39.280
You know, some people think but just because I'm the most physically imposing person in the office,

00:12:39.280 --> 00:12:42.880
that I can't fit into small spaces. But you know, like Colton,

00:12:42.880 --> 00:12:46.960
like he thinks just because he's built like a bag of flour that he can get into smaller spaces than me.

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

00:12:50.880 --> 00:12:54.160
That video is iconic on so many levels.

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

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

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

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

00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:21.200
which is kind of a shame because I do love being in videos. But yeah, at the end of the day,

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

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

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

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:39.920
Ah, I don't want to look at myself. Oh my God, I was a horrible taving jaros, horrible.
