WEBVTT

00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:04.720
In record. Get that purple critics wrapped.

00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:10.240
And we're live. What's up, everybody? We are here today with a great treat for you.

00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.280
We're gonna be going through all of these Scrapyard Wars.

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:18.560
I'm guessing at this point, there's probably like 20 people in the chat, so shout out to you for being early.

00:00:18.560 --> 00:00:22.760
I'm here with Star of Scrapyard Wars.

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:26.120
Sammy. Assistant. Hello. Assistant.

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:29.480
Assistant Star? No. Star Assistant. Yeah, Star Assistant.

00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.680
Yeah, to the old man. What was that like being on Team Linus?

00:00:33.680 --> 00:00:36.680
It was very chaotic. It was like, I think one of the editors

00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:42.080
sent me a message when they were editing it. She was like, it's just like Linus running around

00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:48.080
and then me just sitting there like zoned out. I can't even figure out what the hell is going on.

00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:52.520
Can I say that? We're not on YouTube, we can swear a little bit.

00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:56.080
We're not supposed to, but. Yeah, I will try not to, but like. Let's lower it.

00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:59.200
Heck, it's okay. What's the top swear word?

00:00:59.760 --> 00:01:02.840
Heck, no, heck's too low.

00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.960
I can say that at a church. Balls.

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:09.640
Balls. Okay, bye. Bye.

00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.320
Thanks, Dan. Bye.

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:18.360
Yeah, I think we should just get into it. It's not that long of a stream and these Scrapyard episodes are pretty long.

00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:22.240
You should have seen the uncut versions.

00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:27.800
Okay, you ready, Sammy? Yes. Let me do this.

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.520
I don't know if the stream can hear you guys whisper, but I like it.

00:01:34.520 --> 00:01:37.520
This is the kind of stuff my girlfriend falls asleep to. ASMR.

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:41.520
ASMR. I find ASMR a little bit weird. Are you an ASMR person?

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:46.120
No, I'm not. We're gonna go all track right away. I feel like video, I watch for like beauty.

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.320
They always be like. Yeah. At the beginning I'm like, okay, like cool.

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.960
This is fun. I feel like ASMR has leveled up in the last couple of years.

00:01:53.960 --> 00:01:58.720
Like it used to be kind of just like whispery and like crinkly things, but now it's like more percussive.

00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:03.720
Like you said, like there's more like fingernails tapping. One of the ones that I was laughing at was like,

00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:07.280
the person was like coconut, coconut, coconut, coconut, coconut, coconut.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.960
It's like music class. Like first, like when you're in elementary school

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.040
or whatever and they teach you like blueberry pineapples.

00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:17.040
Oh, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And like yeah, the rhythms or whatever.

00:02:17.040 --> 00:02:20.280
So if you're a big ASMR person, please let us know.

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:24.400
Give us your recommendations, big fan.

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.000
Anyways, Scrapyard Wars. Scrapyard Wars, where Luke and I compete

00:02:28.040 --> 00:02:32.400
to build the best computer on a fixed budget. And this year, it's gonna be interesting

00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:37.120
because we get to play with an enormous $800,

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.120
including $100 to spend on whatever we want

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.720
from our sponsor, Jawa. It was like 135 Canadian dollars.

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:48.720
Say that again. It was like 135 Canadian dollars on top.

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:53.160
Well, that was, it was both budgets. So it'd be 1400 CAD that he was holding.

00:02:53.160 --> 00:02:57.160
And then we had the $100 on Jawa, which I think was a pretty cool integration.

00:02:57.160 --> 00:03:02.000
Shout out to our sponsor, Jawa, for this thing.

00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:08.480
It integrated really naturally. There's sometimes we do sponsored videos where it's like, it feels so tacked on

00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:12.840
or it's just like heavy, but this was like, that's pretty natural. We're trying to buy computer stuff and we got it.

00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:16.600
So that was a big shout out, big, big, big, big shout out.

00:03:16.600 --> 00:03:21.960
Setups will be put through the ultimate gauntlet to find out who wins Scrapyard Wars.

00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.480
We had a very different intro than, not very different. We had a much longer intro than this where they,

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.800
drive away and come back. And the joke is that like we're at the office

00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.560
and I'm glad we cut it because you don't need that.

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:40.560
It's so funny when you envision things in your head and you're writing, you have a strong idea

00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.840
of how things should flow. Except for one major change.

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.560
But then you see it in edit and you're like, this is all superfluous and totally unnecessary.

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.880
That's a, yeah. We still aren't allowed to restart the work plan

00:03:51.880 --> 00:03:55.760
off hours. No, I came in like halfway through here. What were you doing at this point in the day?

00:03:55.760 --> 00:03:58.800
Uh, sleeping in. Oh, that sounds pretty nice.

00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:03.400
Are you a morning person? No. What time does the day start for you?

00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.440
Honestly, I've erupted mainly at 10.30.

00:04:06.440 --> 00:04:10.760
That's not too bad. To wake up and like maybe roll around.

00:04:10.760 --> 00:04:14.040
No, it's not a get out of bed at 10.30. You're not building just a computer.

00:04:14.040 --> 00:04:18.640
You're doing a full gaming setup for $800. Oh, so like monitor keyboard models?

00:04:18.640 --> 00:04:23.880
So as you guys have seen, the kind of stick this year

00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:29.400
is that we got them into makeup. And the idea was really so that they could negotiate more

00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:34.000
in person and have that lead us with limiting factor.

00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:38.240
Although if you've seen the series, it came into play a little less than I was hoping.

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:41.240
But there's some really good interactions,

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:44.960
especially on Sammy and Linus's team,

00:04:44.960 --> 00:04:49.120
about, you know, close calls or people kind of recognizing

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.160
or something like that. Your team definitely was the better team

00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.320
for the interactions. Could you lower the audio a little bit on the video?

00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:59.360
What do you think for the last name? David?

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.360
Yeah, lowering it. I think the one thing about our team was like, we never,

00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.920
I mean, in fact, we tried to negotiate really hard. And then like, I think for some of the stuff,

00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.920
we got such a good deal like that, like whatever,

00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.200
like NAS system. Oh, yeah.

00:05:15.200 --> 00:05:21.000
Yeah, and it was like 200 bucks. And it was already an insane deal. And then like, Linus talked to him down to 180.

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.240
And then he was like, oh, I got someone else offering for 200. Like, you know, even if he showed up in disguise

00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:29.240
and didn't get caught, like it wouldn't have done anything because he had other buyers.

00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:32.880
And I think, yeah, so that was kind of hard,

00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:36.160
especially because now there's like E-transfer. It's not like, oh, I'm short 20 bucks.

00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.600
Like, that's all I have, right? It's like, well, suck it up. E-transfer, meet the 20 bucks, right?

00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:43.840
So I think like the negotiation part was like a little different.

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:48.640
I think Elijah was the only one who had one opportunity where he could have negotiated.

00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:52.560
And then he actually did get recognized. And someone was like, aren't you that guy for a multi-team?

00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:56.720
I guess I should ask you, have you watched Skapeard Wars? Or were you like, I can't watch myself.

00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.120
I hate this. I watched it out of curiosity.

00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.480
And it was like weird to hear my voice. But then I think I kind of got used to it

00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.160
after the first episode. Definitely was like weird to see myself on camera,

00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:13.360
especially because like the different angles and like the lenses that we use or whatever,

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:18.840
like it distorts like, yeah. We're all 30% more attractive in person, OK?

00:06:18.840 --> 00:06:22.600
30% more attractive. Please, believe me.

00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:27.440
No, I 100% understand. I don't know how you feel.

00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:32.160
I hate seeing myself on camera. I wish I could never be on camera.

00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.840
It's less about the voice. It's more about the like what you look like. Because yeah, like when you're looking in a mirror,

00:06:36.840 --> 00:06:40.040
we're going to get into some self-esteem shit right here.

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.960
I always find like, I'm like, oh, yeah, I look fine. And then you see yourself in a camera and it doesn't hide anything.

00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:46.960
You're like, I look like that? No, I don't look like that.

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:49.080
I sent that photo to my friend. I was like, do I look like this?

00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:53.360
And I sent it to a guy. So I was like, because I know, like he's like one

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.880
of those people who just like tells you as it is. He's like, no, you don't actually look like that.

00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:00.680
And I was like, OK, let's find that. Question for you, was that the right thing in that situation

00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.600
or should that guy have been like, no, you look so much

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.400
prettier real-life? Well, the thing is like I went and I was like, I don't like how I look.

00:07:09.400 --> 00:07:12.640
So I already told him like, it wasn't like, oh, do I look like this?

00:07:12.640 --> 00:07:16.840
Like zero context, whether I like it or don't like it. And then he's like, imagine if I really

00:07:16.840 --> 00:07:21.400
like how I look on camera. And he's like, yeah, you look nothing like that.

00:07:21.400 --> 00:07:26.760
That'd be really sad. But since I was like, oh, like I, you know.

00:07:26.760 --> 00:07:31.240
Then he was like, yeah, I don't think you actually look like that. You look very like not very different,

00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:36.880
but it's almost like an evil twin kind of thing. Yeah, I think the camera captures one kind of part

00:07:36.880 --> 00:07:39.880
of your essence, like as a general statement, not you in particular.

00:07:39.880 --> 00:07:44.760
And it's like, that's not necessarily how you come across. But I definitely understand.

00:07:44.760 --> 00:07:50.240
Like I've been definitely eating healthier and going to the gym more after watching Scrapyard

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.240
or so many times. Anyways, let's get back into the video. I actually have two questions.

00:07:54.240 --> 00:08:02.120
Oh, OK. Yeah, I have one question here from ZetaZATA21.

00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:08.320
How did Java get depart so quickly? So yeah, so the normal process for Java is, you know,

00:08:08.320 --> 00:08:11.960
you order and it comes in whatever estimate there is.

00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:16.880
Because it was a sponsored thing, we had arranged beforehand to have them expedited.

00:08:16.880 --> 00:08:20.400
And so it was a very non-normal process

00:08:20.400 --> 00:08:25.320
to get things expedited. And then the one thing we didn't get in time

00:08:25.320 --> 00:08:30.400
was the SSD that was ordered NVIDIA 2, I believe, or day 2.

00:08:30.400 --> 00:08:35.160
And so that would have had to arrive same day, which is impossible.

00:08:35.160 --> 00:08:38.600
Even Amazon stuff. It's like you can only get it same day if you order it in the morning.

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:43.440
And this was like afternoon by the time they had asked. And so that was the one we did a swap for.

00:08:43.440 --> 00:08:49.920
But everything we got in time, but peek behind the curtain,

00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:55.080
before it arrived, we had found local replacements for everything to make sure if it didn't arrive,

00:08:55.080 --> 00:09:00.360
we would have it. And that they could use it immediately

00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.600
and make sure that Linus's team, like they got a GPU. That's a pretty core component if they wanted to test.

00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:09.440
They had something to test with and making sure that it was all good.

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.080
So it's not exactly representative of how it would be.

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:18.880
But Java was great working with us. They got it to a super fast. I was kind of surprised the next day stuff was arriving.

00:09:18.880 --> 00:09:21.920
And I was like, whoa. But I wouldn't expect that if you're

00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:25.960
doing a regular Java purchase. That's the kind of the deal we had made with them

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:30.320
to make this work as part of the concept of the video. What's question 2?

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:38.080
It's for Sammy, actually, from Tommy Blue. Was Linus's method acting a problem off camera?

00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:41.440
Sorry, method acting? Being an old person, acting like an old person.

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:46.040
Oh, yeah. It's just the whole time we were driving one time.

00:09:46.040 --> 00:09:49.400
And he was just talking in, I think, part of it got into the video.

00:09:49.400 --> 00:09:54.000
Or he was just talking into a very southern accent. And then actually, clarification.

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.320
He was talking in a southern accent. And I was like, you should take tips from Gary.

00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.600
And then someone wrote in the comments that I was being super offensive towards Gary.

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:05.640
And I was like, no, it's not because Gary's old. It's because Gary is from Texas.

00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:11.720
So. Yeah. Gary's got communication on that show. He has one of those really lovely voices that is very,

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:15.240
and I mean this in the nicest way. I know Gary's not watching this. I know he's not watching this.

00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:20.720
He's not. But it's very, like, muppet-esque in the most pleasant

00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:25.000
of ways. Like, he kind of. Like, he's high soothing. Yeah, he speaks from the throat, not from the chest.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:33.200
And it's very, like, light and pleasant. But he's so mean in the nice way that it's kind of unnerving

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.440
when you get that beautiful, nice man pleasant tone.

00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.960
And then he says something so sassy. Yes, he's very sassy. He's probably especially sassy with you.

00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:45.640
Well, not you in particular, but because you work with Labs, he has a closer relationship.

00:10:45.640 --> 00:10:49.880
But he's not mean sassy. No, no, no. It's funny. Yeah. He's the kind of sassy I like.

00:10:49.880 --> 00:10:54.320
Anyways. That did the video. I mentioned offhand a bit ago, some sort of anarchy.

00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.720
There was, like, Teller, Dax, Morrow. I bet you never watched Sons of Anarchy.

00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:02.720
Morrow. I like Duke Morrow. Duke Morrow is a good name. You know what the end result for the makeup is supposed to be.

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:06.200
Have you given any thought to your identity as this final episode?

00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:10.840
So booking this makeup was a whole ordeal, because it's not just like they can show up and do this.

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:15.160
But we had tried to reach out a couple of times a long time ago,

00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:20.920
and then it sort of fell through the cracks. And it got closer and closer. And instead of the original plan was to go and have their faces

00:11:20.920 --> 00:11:27.000
get a mold so that we can get custom stuff. But it happened when we finally connected too late in the game.

00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.960
So I had to be kind of generic appliances. The usual secondhand marketplaces.

00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:35.320
Facebook has come up with a big, well-known product. I don't know if I'm supposed to say the dollar amount,

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.640
but the makeup for this video is by far the most expensive thing

00:11:38.640 --> 00:11:41.880
I've ever gotten procured for a video.

00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:46.000
Like it wasn't even close. Oh, a small request from chat.

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:49.480
Do you mind pausing when we're talking like for a good time?

00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:54.080
OK, yeah. The stream is going to now go until 2 AM.

00:11:54.080 --> 00:12:02.480
Or the volume maybe. Yeah, but buckle in floaters and twitchers?

00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:07.360
Internet people. Chat. Chat's a good generic all around one.

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.680
I refuse to use the term netizens. Netizens? That's a thing, huh?

00:12:10.680 --> 00:12:16.240
Yeah. That's illegal. I hate it. We refuse.

00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:19.240
Like crappy old Lenovo pre-built, they're local.

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.120
Honestly, so far, finding the things on Java seems the easiest,

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:26.320
but I'm trying to make sure that I look everywhere. We'll shop around.

00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:30.400
A 6,700 XT is like 400 Canadian dollars on Facebook.

00:12:30.400 --> 00:12:34.920
Yeah, I've been as low as... I don't really want to pause every time, but I guess we will.

00:12:34.920 --> 00:12:38.960
I've been surprised at how hard it is to get used parts again.

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:43.480
Like I want to upgrade my GPU. And I mean, that's a very different category of GPU

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.440
than what is in this video. But GPUs have gotten expensive again, and I'm very annoyed.

00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.760
Guys, we have 240 US dollars on Java.

00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:56.600
So it's like 320 bucks. Wow. Oh yeah, aside from pricing, there's a couple of talking points.

00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.680
Put the market in the hands of gamers. You can find parts, pre-built systems, new end used,

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.880
and they've got individually vetted, verified sellers.

00:13:04.880 --> 00:13:08.440
So that's probably what I'm going to want to go with so I can make sure that we get it shipped up here in time.

00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.760
That's exactly right. Are we considering things like shipping costs and stuff like that?

00:13:11.760 --> 00:13:16.200
No, no, no, no. We're getting it like expedited, so it'll arrive tomorrow. They're not actually available in Canada.

00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.280
They're making an exception for us. I kind of wish they would. That's also another part of it.

00:13:19.280 --> 00:13:23.040
We can get this right now. Meet your teammate. What's up, brother?

00:13:25.040 --> 00:13:28.680
Yes, okay. I'm curious to see what you think, because I allowed it,

00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:31.880
but it sort of felt cheating-ish a little bit.

00:13:32.280 --> 00:13:34.720
Elijah showed up early every day.

00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:38.440
So this day, you know, I think I gave you guys a noon start.

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:44.760
Because you guys were going to go late that day. And Elijah shows up, I think, ten this day.

00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:48.920
And the next day, it was supposed to be ten, and I showed up at... He was yelling at me.

00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:53.080
He was like, you guys cheated. I didn't like, because we did the whole thing

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:57.360
where we had like the, we sold, we bought parts and then we sold some of them and...

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:01.120
Yes, yes, yes, yes. And then he was like afterwards. He's like, I can't believe you guys did that.

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.000
That's cheating. And like, we didn't do that. We thought about it.

00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:09.800
And then here he is showing up two hours early. Yeah. And when I was like talking to him about it, he was, I was like,

00:14:09.800 --> 00:14:13.040
hey, man, he's like, oh, don't worry.

00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:16.160
Don't worry. I'm not, I'm doing this. I'm volunteering. I'm not getting paid for this.

00:14:16.160 --> 00:14:21.360
And I'm like, that's not the issue. So I will talk to him later about that when he's here.

00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:24.240
I think he's on at like one or something. What's Sammy? What time is Elijah on?

00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:28.120
I think he's on around 12. 12.

00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.440
Okay. So stay tuned for me.

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:36.680
Gotcha. Well, Eli is in chat. He said, he said, bruh, bruh.

00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.560
So I think he, I think he's getting ready to defend himself.

00:14:41.160 --> 00:14:44.560
Be prepared. Yeah. Yeah. It's only taking and it's so not fair.

00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:48.920
Yeah. Don't don't do it in chat. Save it for your, for your appearance. Yeah. I also have two more questions for you.

00:14:49.680 --> 00:14:52.720
We have one from my tier E. Mytor.

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:56.280
Did no one think to have lines not take his Porsche?

00:14:57.040 --> 00:15:01.080
Yeah. So we actually, I actually made that exact comment before we left,

00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.840
but because we were in such a rush, I like, I had to drive my car

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.720
somewhere and then it was like not on the right spot for us to like leave.

00:15:10.280 --> 00:15:13.640
And then we had to go, go, go because the guy was like, I need to be like

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:19.040
out by this time. So we just drove the Porsche and I remember like sitting there being like,

00:15:19.320 --> 00:15:26.240
I'm pretty sure we're going to get recognized for that. But yeah, it was like, it was because it's so hectic that like, you know,

00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:33.040
it just, it just didn't work out to drive my car. So yeah, because like, I don't think people understand or appreciate

00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:38.560
how short of a shooting cycle this is. Normally we do scrap your words over five days of shooting and we produce

00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:43.320
three or four videos. We did the opposite. We shot it over three days and produced four videos.

00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:50.160
And so the time limits were very, very tight. Just for that, like the last day, we essentially had no time to like actually

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:54.000
like buy and procure parts because we had to build the PC by the end of the second day.

00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:58.040
So yeah. Yeah, I had sort of done that by design where the PCs had to be ready

00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:00.920
on the second day, which is two days less than normal.

00:16:01.800 --> 00:16:05.840
But I wanted it so that, yeah, the last day, if you needed to get anything, it could be sort of the easy pickups.

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.240
And then people, I kind of counted on people making weird compromises

00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.760
to sort of make it work. And I thought the setups, why should we can't talk about part four?

00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.120
We can't talk about that yet. I know it's it's hard. I like the setups. Can I say that?

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:23.200
Yeah, yeah, actually you'll be very impressed when we get to part four.

00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:27.560
So stay tuned. It's going to be up on full plane as long as everything goes right tomorrow,

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:33.520
but if not Saturday, trust us, it's not for lack of trying to get it to on time.

00:16:33.640 --> 00:16:37.120
There's just so much footage to go through. I think we can.

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:39.720
Can we are you comfortable seeing how long the rough cut was?

00:16:40.800 --> 00:16:42.600
For which video? Oh, the fun episode.

00:16:44.000 --> 00:16:47.680
So, I mean, the first scrubbing through the footage with

00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.160
Hoffman, I did it was 18 hours and that's just kind of like everything end to end.

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:59.920
Because there's multiple cameras. And so it was long because it was a long day as well of shooting.

00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:05.040
The the first like cut cut was about an hour and a half, I believe.

00:17:06.600 --> 00:17:10.440
And we're currently the cut I saw two days ago was 50 minutes.

00:17:10.760 --> 00:17:14.800
And the aim my original aim was to get it to 40, but it's probably going to be about 45.

00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:19.600
And that's because it's great and it's packed full of content.

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:26.240
We don't want to like cut anything out. We did that mistake. That's actually if you guys want to know what happened in the gap between

00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:32.360
episode one and two, where we needed an extra week. We had originally a rough cut, you know, 40 minute rough cut.

00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.960
And I asked for it to be cut to close to 20 minutes.

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:41.920
But what happened was we kind of lost the sparkle. We lost the meat of Scrapper Wars and it was just the story.

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:46.920
We didn't have the character moments. And so when we got deep into review, we realized

00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:51.400
we are we are missing it. We're not nailing it.

00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.880
And so we had to go back a couple of edits and reinserts all the character

00:17:56.880 --> 00:18:01.720
stuff and like the comments and like the things that aren't necessarily

00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:05.920
the story, but it's the characters. And that's actually what I think Scrapper Wars, what I've learned,

00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.920
sort of producing this series of Scrapper Wars is it's less about the story

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:16.760
because it's like the story is pretty simple. It's just, you know, building build a computer, though the best computer

00:18:16.760 --> 00:18:19.080
again on a budget, but it's always about the people.

00:18:20.040 --> 00:18:23.920
Sorry, was I really? Yeah, I don't know.

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:27.400
It's OK. The video is just there to encourage questions.

00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.880
Look, I'm not in any of these parts. Yeah, kind of sweetest dumb ahead.

00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:36.240
Yeah, yeah, we can get back to him later.

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:39.480
The video. Yeah. And, you know,

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:44.560
I also love when you walk in on this video.

00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.480
It's probably pretty close to this. I should have a quick question from Talaka 1K.

00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.200
How much how much time did makeup take?

00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:56.000
So about four hours per day.

00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:02.880
And so have you appeared yet? Yes, I'm a little later, later, later, later, later.

00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:09.120
You just skipped over when I walk in. Later. More or we got this.

00:19:09.120 --> 00:19:13.000
Sorry. There. It was right here.

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:20.400
Yeah, we I had budgeted about four hours. And so the original start time was eight.

00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:24.760
And we were aiming to be out of makeup by 12. So that's why the the assistants were coming in at 12.

00:19:24.760 --> 00:19:29.680
So there'd be a little bit of Luke and Linus time getting the makeup, but then we could start the real stuff.

00:19:30.080 --> 00:19:32.000
No, well, I just showed up early.

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:36.680
I also showed up on time and then like Linus was still getting ready.

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.720
Yes. Well, the big problem was Linus was very late.

00:19:42.560 --> 00:19:47.480
Yeah, it was 8 a.m. start, which was funny, because the film industry, these are like the makeup artists are people

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.840
that are working in the film industry, not necessarily in makeup currently,

00:19:50.840 --> 00:19:54.120
but in different parts of the makeup industry.

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.960
And when they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, we can be there early for them.

00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:02.120
Early is, you know, 3 a.m. 4 a.m. And so when I told them 8 a.m., they were very pleased.

00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.800
Yeah, that's a big sleep in for them. But then yeah, Linus just slept in.

00:20:07.800 --> 00:20:10.960
So I think it's an extra or something, right, Sammy?

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:14.560
Yes, on the episode one full plane extras,

00:20:15.280 --> 00:20:18.080
we have Linus walking in at like nine o'clock.

00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.320
It's actually not too bad. That's earlier than I remember him being. But yeah, so that pushed everything back.

00:20:23.320 --> 00:20:30.160
So I think it was probably about one 30 that people were out because we wanted to shoot and it's funny because it hurt Team Luke as well

00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:33.600
because we need to shoot the intro before. So it's not like Luke would get into makeup,

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:36.800
although the second day he did get brightened to make up because we were

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:42.880
shooting as if no time had passed. And so we didn't need for it to be synced up the same way as day one.

00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:46.280
But Team Luke was not pleased that they had to wait.

00:20:46.280 --> 00:20:49.360
They were like, they should be more punished. And honestly, I'm curious what you think.

00:20:49.360 --> 00:20:53.200
And I'm thinking I'm going to ask everybody because watching back everything,

00:20:54.040 --> 00:20:58.800
I think it was too easy on you guys. I should have been harder. Yeah, I was surprised with.

00:20:58.800 --> 00:21:04.760
OK, so there is like misinterpretation. I thought it was like the last pick up is at six for like the second day.

00:21:04.760 --> 00:21:11.280
And then is that genuine? Yes, I genuinely thought like I like because you said it ends at six, right?

00:21:11.280 --> 00:21:16.000
So why does it matter where I am? You know what I mean? I said, the computers have to be handed in at five.

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:20.360
So where did this mix up? I like nobody told us that we had to like be like,

00:21:20.360 --> 00:21:23.440
I was told that we had to be done the computers at five.

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:27.320
So we were done, right? But we didn't we weren't physically there to like hand it in.

00:21:27.320 --> 00:21:30.720
Yeah. But then like, you know, Elijah was told,

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.760
like you had to physically be there at five and then like you were done at six.

00:21:35.040 --> 00:21:41.800
So that's where that was kind of that was the challenge, because I actually it was, I think, a big miscommunication because

00:21:44.040 --> 00:21:47.520
I wasn't sure what I had told you guys. And that's the problem.

00:21:47.520 --> 00:21:51.440
Why I was like, I can't remember if I said, like, because we had talked and

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:59.480
like I can't I don't think it made it into part three. But you guys were going away and I I I stepped in and helped a little bit

00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.920
just by up installing drivers and updating Windows and stuff.

00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:08.560
That's just not important for the video. No, but and we also had finished the computer like way before five.

00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:13.040
Yeah, it was like three ish PM or something. We were done the piece that we had done assembling.

00:22:13.040 --> 00:22:19.200
I think where the miscommunication happened was that I I started to suspect

00:22:19.600 --> 00:22:24.360
that you guys had purposefully disconnected the hard drive

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.080
because you knew it would lower your benchmark,

00:22:28.080 --> 00:22:30.920
because I immediately plugged it in at work and I was like, oh, that's weird.

00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:34.880
No, like there's footage of Linus, literally, like, you know, the blocks,

00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:38.840
like just trying to shove it. It's a footage. Just a footage. You guys just generated that for the video.

00:22:41.840 --> 00:22:47.800
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. And so I was genuinely unsure of what had been agreed

00:22:49.320 --> 00:22:53.240
because, yeah, I think I one of the big things I learned was

00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:59.040
the rules have to be more explicit. I thought that it was going to be on sportsman like

00:23:00.040 --> 00:23:04.080
and people are going to have an understanding of things. And I knew that Linus was going to work on the rules.

00:23:04.080 --> 00:23:08.600
And that's actually I was hoping he would. I was hoping you'd be in a little bit of cheating.

00:23:09.040 --> 00:23:12.640
But it's not technically cheating. It's not technically cheating.

00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.760
It's just kind of miscommunication. And I'm not touching you. I'm not touching you.

00:23:18.120 --> 00:23:21.760
And so that's why I was so easy about that one was because I wasn't

00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:26.200
sure what had been agreed upon. I think the other team was a little bit.

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:33.440
Too upset because, like you said, your computer was ready.

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:38.920
You were just making pickups and like we had known we had just like drop it off in the lab at 3 p.m. or whatever.

00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:43.160
But then we weren't like, even then, like, even if you said, oh, you had to drop it and buy five, it wasn't clear.

00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.480
Like you had to be there at five. Like, you know what I'm saying?

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:50.720
Like, yeah, if I hand in like an assignment a day early, like, why should I get penalized for that kind of thing?

00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:54.120
He he got me with the content line.

00:23:54.120 --> 00:23:57.280
And I know he knew that he was going to get me with the content line because he's in makeup.

00:23:57.280 --> 00:24:01.040
And so I would way rather you guys be out for an extra hour.

00:24:01.040 --> 00:24:03.360
And I have to wait around for you guys one more hour.

00:24:04.040 --> 00:24:07.480
If you're in makeup doing pickups, then the next day, like it doesn't.

00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.800
It's so much less interesting when he's not in makeup. Also, you would have never gotten the thing where like we roll up to

00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:15.840
the address and line is like, this is where Luke lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:19.400
And so I think that it's one of those things that, you know, I know

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:23.040
there's there's people that think the rules are the most important part of

00:24:23.080 --> 00:24:26.640
the scrapper wars, but I think it's the spirit of scrapper wars. That's the most important.

00:24:27.520 --> 00:24:31.520
Yeah, what's up? Oh, yeah, I guess we could go to Y cam.

00:24:34.560 --> 00:24:37.400
We did it. Should be like, are we just going to?

00:24:42.560 --> 00:24:48.120
And so, yeah, I don't know. I, I, um, I was watching back and I'm going to, I think even ask everybody

00:24:48.120 --> 00:24:51.120
if I should have been harder and I expect one team to have a different answer.

00:24:51.600 --> 00:24:54.880
I feel like the time penalty should have been a little harder, like

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:59.040
cause we were like, I can't say.

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:04.920
I can't talk about the penalty. Um, but like when we were late, like we were like, we'll take a penalty

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:08.600
and whatever that penalty was, I was like a little surprised that it was like

00:25:08.600 --> 00:25:11.400
not like 1.5 times.

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:19.160
So yeah, I was considering doing that. But again, it's just like we are making a video first.

00:25:19.400 --> 00:25:24.240
And it's like not that important and it didn't really hugely affect things.

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:27.000
If you guys would have had an extra half an hour docked off. Yeah.

00:25:27.360 --> 00:25:32.200
Um, yeah. And I think there was like that one half an hour where there was like all this

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:36.000
content for the last video that like would not, I mean, I don't know what made

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:39.200
it into the final video, but there was like some crazy crap stuff that happened.

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.840
And what I was trying to shape more than anything is as much, uh,

00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:47.200
trash talk time as possible. So they, in the final video, you'll see this isn't really a spoiler.

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:50.240
But they're going to be on the same set divided by like a curtain.

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:55.200
Yeah. Um, and I wanted as much time of, you know, them head to head as possible.

00:25:55.280 --> 00:26:01.120
Yeah. Instead of more driving around. We've gotten two videos, two and a half videos of driving around doing stuff.

00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:05.040
And we didn't need more of that content. Although there is a little bit more of that content in the next video.

00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:10.120
And so I, I made soft calls for the purpose of content.

00:26:10.280 --> 00:26:16.680
I'm curious what you guys think if it was a huge mistake or if you understand sort of the rationale, but we're going to move on in the video a

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:24.360
little bit right now. See some focused GM 550 will not come with storage.

00:26:24.360 --> 00:26:26.840
Okay. That's what's missing on this buddy for 400.

00:26:27.360 --> 00:26:30.840
All right. Just send in some messages, send in some messages.

00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:34.120
Highline it. Never better. Oh God.

00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.440
Okay. This shot is one of my favorites of the whole thing.

00:26:37.560 --> 00:26:42.240
It's like, it's like a horror movie. I don't know why it's like, uh, yeah.

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.560
What, oh, smile.

00:26:46.760 --> 00:26:48.760
That's the, that's the new poster for smile too.

00:26:50.600 --> 00:26:54.320
There's me laughing almost exactly how I just laughed. What the frick is wrong with me?

00:26:54.320 --> 00:27:00.640
The reverse of what happened when he shaved his beard off. Honestly, things are going a little rough for team Linus and Sammy.

00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:06.560
Okay. I found a couple of pretty good deals. A lot of people make comments about how I keep saying, okay, but it's just

00:27:06.560 --> 00:27:11.160
because I didn't know what to say, but I also don't want to just stand there and be like, come on, he's talking.

00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:14.920
Well, it's, it's always tough balance too, because like, I actually, there

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:21.000
was a cut early on that had more of you like sassing Linus and it made it very

00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:24.760
funny, but it, a lot of it just sort of like slowed the pace down and we're

00:27:24.760 --> 00:27:30.600
trying to get to kind of like the end. And so I felt a little bit bad at the later cuts because there's a lot of you

00:27:30.600 --> 00:27:33.800
just being like kind of almost seeming lost, even though you weren't like, you

00:27:33.800 --> 00:27:38.200
really stepped into your element. And I think you were, you were a fantastic competitor overall, but you were

00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:40.880
also like a fantastic on camera presence.

00:27:41.520 --> 00:27:44.640
Uh, and I feel like the first three minutes of your appearance, don't do

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:48.000
you justice, although I've noticed in the comments, everyone really likes

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.400
your, your, your, your presence. So, well, I mean, I think Chewy filtered in the comments like, she sucks.

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.760
I hate her. Never heard about you like, I'm sure somebody somewhere like thought that

00:27:56.760 --> 00:28:00.720
like you can't please everyone. Yeah. If you scroll deep enough, there's always bad comments.

00:28:00.760 --> 00:28:04.040
Like I always, uh, I have to stop scrolling at about, you know, 100

00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:10.840
comments on a video or whatever. Cause then it starts to be the like, it's kind of fucking stupid.

00:28:11.080 --> 00:28:14.320
Uh, and the answer is yes. The answer is definitive.

00:28:14.320 --> 00:28:20.800
Yes. Yeah. I stopped scrolling after I saw a few comments that were genuinely very comfortable.

00:28:21.040 --> 00:28:24.440
Oh, I'm sorry. No, it's okay. I just kind of laugh it off.

00:28:24.600 --> 00:28:29.280
Okay. I kind of expected it. Yeah. I just like to take it as like a funny thing.

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:32.600
I have some feedback for the, the penalties.

00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:37.800
I think most people are okay with it. Uh, it would have been nice if it was laid out prior so then they could have

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.560
potentially stride around it, but yeah. I think that's also true.

00:28:41.840 --> 00:28:47.360
Yeah. That's one of the things that I was managing was kind of how clear

00:28:47.360 --> 00:28:51.160
things should be up front and how much was me balancing the teams.

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:54.880
Cause to be fair though, I think even if you laid it up up front, like Linus

00:28:54.880 --> 00:28:58.960
and I literally decided on the full PC before you even sent us the rule.

00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:04.680
So we actually didn't read the rule book, which was the point. I didn't want things to be targeted specifically to what we're doing.

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:09.280
And I designed the benchmarks around being all around systems.

00:29:09.280 --> 00:29:13.480
You'll see in part four, um, including what the lab's testing is.

00:29:14.040 --> 00:29:19.960
Is it just like him? That's there. Oh, then I have to see myself so big.

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:27.520
Um, we, uh, I, part of it is again, Game Master David trying to make

00:29:27.520 --> 00:29:33.960
sure that everything's going off. There was a fear, um, early on that one team would get really far ahead or

00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.280
be a clear winner. And so I wanted to have the tools in my back pocket and I didn't actually

00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:42.520
use some of them, um, for auto balancing and making sure that like a team

00:29:42.520 --> 00:29:48.080
that's sort of having more trouble is going to. So you're like a university proff trying to like scale Mark Stone.

00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:54.240
Yeah, exactly. I was grading on a bell curve. Um, I, uh, I basically just chose who I liked.

00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:00.160
Who ever had the better content actually? Yeah.

00:30:03.280 --> 00:30:11.800
No, um, and so yeah, it's tough, uh, even like all that you guys don't know

00:30:11.800 --> 00:30:16.000
a secret, um, the way that some of the stuff was being scored, wasn't locked

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:20.440
in until later in the competition, because I wanted to have the ability to

00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:25.600
make it close until the end. I didn't want it to be some kind of blowout because I don't want to watch

00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:29.200
a reality series where it's like, you know, one team, it

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.840
wins, they win after the first challenge and then there's seven more challenges. But why am I watching the other ones?

00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.240
Yeah. And it's like, I, it's like F one. Yeah.

00:30:37.520 --> 00:30:41.200
Last season. Sure. I've never watched F one. Are you a big F one person?

00:30:41.320 --> 00:30:44.680
Yeah. It was like at one point, like Max Verstappen was so ahead that he could just

00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:48.640
like race and like come in 10th. He's got like a Starbucks cup.

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:53.000
He's just like literally, or I'm sure at one point, like he could just not show

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.760
up and still win by a mile. Like it was like everybody was making jokes.

00:30:56.760 --> 00:31:03.120
It was like, oh, F one is all of a sudden very interesting if you just cover the first, you know, if you just cover the first place and then everybody

00:31:03.120 --> 00:31:08.800
else, oh, but now, you know, um, that's what I've always found with sports is

00:31:08.800 --> 00:31:12.880
yeah, blowouts are never fun unless it's your team doing the blowing out.

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:17.720
Cause then you're like, yeah, hell yeah. But, uh, in general, making reality content.

00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.360
And then like I'm being very transparent about this ability for me to pull the

00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:27.480
strings and make sure things are balanced. Uh, that's a very normal thing, uh, across all reality shows that they always

00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.200
have ways to make sure that things get closer.

00:31:30.520 --> 00:31:35.280
Uh, and they'll even be, I think more crappy about it.

00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:39.880
Like I watch a lot of drag race, like RuPaul's drag race. And you can tell when that, do you want to try a race?

00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.000
Yes. Well, I haven't watched them like more recently.

00:31:43.360 --> 00:31:46.240
Yeah. I do. Can't Canada versus the world the new season. So good.

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:52.600
Um, you can tell when they're auto balancing.

00:31:53.400 --> 00:31:57.280
Some wins where it's like, all things are kind of equal and it could be these two

00:31:57.280 --> 00:32:00.880
people, but they need this person to get a win so that it's closer later in the

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:04.520
thing, or this person really deserve to win, but they already have three.

00:32:04.520 --> 00:32:07.760
And so they're going to give it to someone who has zero so that it's like, it's all closer.

00:32:08.080 --> 00:32:12.640
Uh, and I think part of that is, you know, kindness to not have anyone be blown

00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.720
out, but part of it is TV. You're making a reality TV show.

00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:21.960
You're not, it's not the Olympics. It's entertainment and we're back.

00:32:22.760 --> 00:32:28.480
Oh, I found one okay deal, but he needs two hours to change the camera for

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.560
787 hundred, which is okay.

00:32:31.560 --> 00:32:34.920
Yeah, that's like worse than I play games that run on a hamster wheel.

00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.920
So what I really want is a Ryzen 3000 series.

00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:43.640
There's a couple of good deals out there. One of them I can call, but none of this stuff is going to be super interesting.

00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.720
So I'm going to scrub through this because we're probably getting to the end of our 30 minutes with Sandy.

00:32:47.280 --> 00:32:50.880
So Luke is, uh, Eli's coming at 1145. I pushed his time.

00:32:51.120 --> 00:32:54.400
Okay. Hey there.

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:59.120
I was just calling. I just heard back from a buddy with the $400, $3,600 machine.

00:32:59.320 --> 00:33:05.920
It's got a 1660 super in it already. We could probably flip that for a few bucks before 50 a pro max.

00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:10.720
Yeah. This was like mostly Linus because he had spent some time like in the chair,

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:16.480
like thinking about it. And I was kind of like, I wasn't, I figured like he would know better than I did.

00:33:16.680 --> 00:33:21.200
So I kind of just like let him do his own thing. And then I was there to like support in that sense.

00:33:21.200 --> 00:33:25.520
Like I think, um, I wasn't really short calling or like making any decisions

00:33:25.520 --> 00:33:28.880
until like later on, because like this had already been set up and we were on

00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:33.320
such a time crunch, um, that I, I, I just didn't think I would know any better.

00:33:33.360 --> 00:33:38.480
Yeah. Well, that's probably fair. And it's, we can maybe talk about why I picked you.

00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:42.680
Right. Yeah. Someone was like, why'd you get picked? And I was like, I don't know.

00:33:42.800 --> 00:33:46.480
And so there was a short list, you know, a few weeks before we're shooting a

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:51.040
figuring out who it's going to be, and we're trying to like have non-usual people.

00:33:51.280 --> 00:33:55.360
And so Elijah actually wasn't really in the short list until late in the game.

00:33:55.360 --> 00:33:58.400
And it just made a lot of sense. But it's surprising.

00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:01.800
I'm not even on the website. Um, really?

00:34:01.840 --> 00:34:08.960
Yeah. Like I requested to not be on the website because I started, um, like, yeah, I started

00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:13.560
at a certain time and, um, I was like, I didn't really like, I just don't really

00:34:13.560 --> 00:34:18.120
want to be like out there, to be honest. Like generally speaking, I just didn't want to be on the website.

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:23.320
Do we have a veil, uh, Sammy? I mean, I've gotten to the point where like, I was like, yeah, I can be fine on the

00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:28.000
website, feel more comfortable with it. But then like we stopped doing like the monthly shoots or whatever.

00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:34.040
So then I was like, I just didn't get a chance to be on the website. Um, but yeah, then there was like a bunch of comments.

00:34:34.040 --> 00:34:37.600
Like there, I think there was like a Reddit post and like the forum post and like a

00:34:37.600 --> 00:34:40.440
bunch of people were like, where is she? Did she get fired? Like, did she quit?

00:34:40.920 --> 00:34:45.400
And I was like, I was like, you know, it's like fun, not fun, but it's like,

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:49.840
interesting that like people, you know, care or whatever. But, uh, I guess they were just curious as to like what I do.

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:53.920
Cause I think we don't really go over it. Yeah. Yeah. We, we didn't do like, hi, my name's Sammy.

00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:59.720
Like I do crafts and I do data viz. Um, but yeah. So people were probably just curious as to like what my title was or like what I do.

00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:03.560
Well, what is your title? Use your chance to clear the air data visualization specialist.

00:35:03.560 --> 00:35:09.560
I make like charts. So I designed like the charts for web, uh, sort of for videos and I also for like

00:35:09.600 --> 00:35:12.800
the Labs website and, um, for internal reporting stuff as well.

00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:16.720
So, um, yeah, that's what I do. But like some people, I guess, were curious about it and could find me on the

00:35:16.720 --> 00:35:20.760
websites and like, oh, I guess she already left like weird, like before the video

00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:25.640
coming in, like that's fair. Cause like, I see like 99% of the company is on there, but I'm like one of

00:35:25.640 --> 00:35:29.760
like the five people that are, yeah. But someone like wrote like, oh, put her on the website.

00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.840
She was in scrapyard wars and like, how could you leave her off? And then someone was like, it's by choice.

00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:41.560
Like she chose not to be there. I am so grateful for the fandom's enthusiasm, uh, and support.

00:35:41.560 --> 00:35:49.040
Yeah. I was like, I also, I also. I also think, uh, you need to recognize that we're regular people with, uh, regular

00:35:49.200 --> 00:35:54.480
constraints and sometimes we don't want to do things exactly, uh, the regular way.

00:35:54.520 --> 00:35:57.600
And you can also chill, but I thought it was cool.

00:35:57.600 --> 00:36:02.400
I was like, oh, I didn't think people cared enough. Like, you know, um, but yeah, only care.

00:36:03.040 --> 00:36:06.520
I got two questions here. Uh, first one is various people asked us.

00:36:06.520 --> 00:36:12.280
So, uh, I'll just generalize it. Um, they wanted to, uh, if you had to choose the next console for scrapyard

00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:18.160
wars, uh, what would it be next concept? Yeah. Like, we don't, we don't have the promise that it's just, you know, if you could

00:36:18.160 --> 00:36:23.760
make a concept and it was approved, what would it be? Uh, one billion dollar scrapyard wars.

00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:27.600
Um, that's not a really scrapyard wars. That's like, okay.

00:36:27.600 --> 00:36:33.040
No, you buy a whole scrapyard. That's the point. You don't have a look in line is like doing the actual like building and stuff.

00:36:33.040 --> 00:36:38.400
You just have them like as like almost advisors. And I think that idea was like thrown out and literally like during the thing where

00:36:38.400 --> 00:36:42.080
it's like, you know, instead of having one assistant, you have like a team and then

00:36:42.080 --> 00:36:45.880
like the mentor, it's like, it's like, uh, the voice or whatever, kind of like that.

00:36:46.040 --> 00:36:52.560
So like people still watch for the celebrity judges, but they also get to meet new people and then you don't have, like, then you get more negotiation and

00:36:52.560 --> 00:36:58.000
fun stuff, but then you won't get the cool interaction. So that's like kind of 50, 50, um, whether that would work or not.

00:36:58.000 --> 00:37:00.960
But I think it'd be like more interesting in terms of like chaos.

00:37:01.120 --> 00:37:04.960
Oh, a hundred percent. You're more constrained and you have less like expertise, I guess.

00:37:05.080 --> 00:37:11.680
I, I, if I was to make changes, um, the one thing I learned from this one is

00:37:11.680 --> 00:37:18.120
that keeping it simple is the best. Uh, we've tried to like, you know, change it up a little too much in the past.

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:23.320
And it's interesting as a thought experiment, like the one where they, their travel was part of the budget.

00:37:23.640 --> 00:37:26.960
It's an interesting thought experiment and it's interesting for, you know, people

00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:30.520
that are using public transit to get their bus or their computer parts, but it

00:37:30.520 --> 00:37:36.320
makes it that so much of the drama is, uh, is limited to, yeah, like the transit.

00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:41.640
And so it's cool one time. Um, and so if I were to do it again, I would want to keep it simple.

00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:46.200
And this time the stick was basically to allow us to bring it back to basics.

00:37:46.200 --> 00:37:49.320
You know, it's the makeup is very expensive, but it allows for the human

00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.600
interactions again, not everyone to be like, it's Linus.

00:37:53.040 --> 00:37:57.920
And so what I would want to do is still keep the regular constraints of scrap rewards.

00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.720
I think I would drop the setup again, just tower.

00:38:02.160 --> 00:38:09.100
But I think one thing we've talked about in the past and I've seen comments about, I think Sammy even sent this one is doing it in a different place.

00:38:09.140 --> 00:38:15.860
We've done LA, which was good. And we had the teams, um, I think it was Paul and Kyle for that one.

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:20.960
But I think it would be really fun to go somewhere really unknown and try

00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:24.780
and just like make it work. Maybe have a local guide person to help you do it.

00:38:25.220 --> 00:38:31.660
Um, I think it'd be really fun to do somewhere that's not like maybe the first

00:38:31.660 --> 00:38:35.740
time somewhere easy, uh, like a English speaking European country or something.

00:38:35.980 --> 00:38:39.660
But I think the ultimate would be somewhere like Taiwan or, uh, South

00:38:39.660 --> 00:38:45.220
Korea or something. And just like the basic concept, but it's like a lot more about a travel vlog.

00:38:45.220 --> 00:38:51.380
But again, that it's, it's hard to know. Another note about the makeup is I saw, I think there was some feedback about how

00:38:51.380 --> 00:38:54.900
like, oh, the disguises, like some, some people thought it was good.

00:38:54.900 --> 00:39:00.060
Some people thought it was like, Oh, I could still tell it's Linus and like, you know, it was like, you know, whatever.

00:39:00.060 --> 00:39:03.580
Um, and I think part of the problem is like when we're watching the video and

00:39:03.580 --> 00:39:07.020
you're like clicking on it, it's like, this is an LTG video. You expect Linus to be in it, right?

00:39:07.220 --> 00:39:11.220
But if you're just a kid, like selling a computer part, you do not expect Linus,

00:39:11.580 --> 00:39:15.700
like Sebastian to like walk up to your door and like, I want to buy this

00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:19.580
like random PC part really, you know, um, and I think that, that, that's actually

00:39:19.580 --> 00:39:22.740
what happened like with, um, or like in our side.

00:39:22.740 --> 00:39:27.860
Um, like there's, uh, one kid, he was like, you went to his house.

00:39:27.900 --> 00:39:32.260
Yeah. We went to his house and then like, he like recognized Linus after Linus was

00:39:32.260 --> 00:39:36.180
like, you know, would you recognize him if you saw him in person? Kind of thing. And he's like, wait a minute.

00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:39.500
Right. And it's so bad for him. He reaches out to shake his mind and lives his life.

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:45.900
I don't know. Merch message only then you can shake my hand.

00:39:46.940 --> 00:39:50.260
But yeah, I think, I think it's like the context of it really changes whether

00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:53.820
you recognize them or not. I see a lot just right here. What's up Elijah? He looks mad.

00:39:54.020 --> 00:39:57.180
Yeah. He's like, you want to interrupt and then everyone started talking.

00:39:57.300 --> 00:40:00.140
Elijah, oh, to defend his honor. I am.

00:40:00.860 --> 00:40:04.740
And so we're not going to finish this video. We can scrub through.

00:40:05.100 --> 00:40:08.460
They got their makeup shopping part. Oh, I love your shopping part.

00:40:08.580 --> 00:40:12.580
Yeah. People like you. I like the 30 70. Oh, we can do, um, true.

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:15.500
Uh, 45.

00:40:18.340 --> 00:40:19.700
Okay. I don't have the button for it.

00:40:22.820 --> 00:40:26.540
We're here at Valley Village. Linus gave me $50 in cash. I was tasked to.

00:40:26.780 --> 00:40:32.260
This is actually the first part I was actually on camera for, like other than the I met Linus, like a meaty, like this is the first time I was actually

00:40:32.260 --> 00:40:40.020
talking to the camera. Oh yeah. We'd like sent you. Yeah, you do a great job. You're, there was one line here that I was like, Hoffman, if you take it out,

00:40:40.020 --> 00:40:42.620
I will, I will scream. Yeah.

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:48.420
You know, the camera guy Andrew, he was like, I actually want that afterwards.

00:40:48.620 --> 00:40:52.660
The sweater. Yeah. It's a nice sweater. It looks very, very much like him.

00:40:53.100 --> 00:41:00.980
But not like a real adult. I think this one is more fitting of a boomer man with a daughter-at-law who's 23 years

00:41:00.980 --> 00:41:05.100
old, how much is this one? 799 would be really funny if we had a fedora.

00:41:05.340 --> 00:41:08.660
His head's kind of small. I didn't, you know what?

00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:13.620
I don't think I remember or notice that that was just like a thought.

00:41:13.660 --> 00:41:16.980
It was edited as a thought. Yeah, I mean either 799.

00:41:16.980 --> 00:41:22.420
Well, it was an actual thought I had. Yeah. But like that's smart because we were struggling to condense all the good

00:41:22.420 --> 00:41:26.220
stuff into a short amount of time. So having you look at it, stealing the audio from somewhere else,

00:41:26.220 --> 00:41:29.460
making it a little echoey, makes it, uh, that you, you're implying that.

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:35.140
As I'm looking at it, yeah. It's like you're thinking about it. Yeah. I actually apologized to Linus after I was like, I'm sorry,

00:41:35.180 --> 00:41:38.380
just keep roasting you. Just kind of happens. He's like, oh no, it's good for content.

00:41:38.380 --> 00:41:42.340
And I was like, yes. Oh, Linus has the toughest skin of anyone here. You have to go with a cap then.

00:41:42.460 --> 00:41:46.380
We'll go with this one. It's very beige and sad.

00:41:46.420 --> 00:41:51.460
Like, you know the sad beige like children toys? Like that was like a meme, but like nobody understood it.

00:41:51.460 --> 00:41:57.060
If you were like, oh, it's not that bad. It's like, you like, I have something. I was like, no, like it's like, it's a, the people that like paint the toys.

00:41:57.060 --> 00:42:00.860
Yes. The toy and all their toys cannot have color and their clothes are all

00:42:00.860 --> 00:42:06.980
beige and sad. That was a joke. I like, I'm not, I like to be not super judgmental, but I think there's

00:42:06.980 --> 00:42:11.780
something really strange about not wanting your kids to have bright colors

00:42:11.780 --> 00:42:17.180
because it doesn't match your house. Yeah. Like brother, a child, they should be enjoying bright colors.

00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:20.260
Yeah. Anyways, don't paint your kids toys beige.

00:42:20.300 --> 00:42:23.380
Yes. That's all I'm saying. Is there hard? We were also, sorry.

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:27.540
Now you're good. Oh, we were also trying to hide the camera from the workers.

00:42:27.540 --> 00:42:30.380
So it was like really awful. Yeah.

00:42:30.540 --> 00:42:33.780
Cause you had a camera here. It wasn't a phone, right? Yeah.

00:42:33.780 --> 00:42:38.100
We had a full camera, like a rig. Yeah. Okay. Anyways, he's like, he's so short.

00:42:38.100 --> 00:42:41.180
So I think getting shorts is like the safer option here.

00:42:41.260 --> 00:42:46.060
Kaki might work. Like he goes boating and fishing every once in a while.

00:42:46.100 --> 00:42:50.940
He sold his house for $3 million, even though he bought it for 150,000.

00:42:51.140 --> 00:42:54.180
It matched. Okay, can I clarify this one?

00:42:54.380 --> 00:42:57.740
So some people thought he genuinely sold his house for that much.

00:42:57.780 --> 00:43:03.060
No. No, the joke is like his stereotype archetypes would have done that.

00:43:03.060 --> 00:43:07.580
And people are like, oh my God, like, yeah, haha, funny. This is like an exaggeration, funny.

00:43:07.980 --> 00:43:15.060
No, like my, my mom, I went to brunch with my mom and her friends like two

00:43:15.060 --> 00:43:18.180
weekends ago and or like a few weekends before like that.

00:43:18.180 --> 00:43:24.620
Yeah. And that's why I made that joke, because she, she sold her house for that price

00:43:24.780 --> 00:43:27.460
after buying it for 150 million, 150,000.

00:43:28.300 --> 00:43:32.860
And she's like, I'm just retiring. Like anything is like, that's not even like special.

00:43:32.860 --> 00:43:36.500
Like that's just normal here. I wish. And I'm like, oh, we're buying these houses.

00:43:36.740 --> 00:43:40.140
We probably shouldn't get too much into that. No, no, no, no, no, you don't need to apologize.

00:43:40.220 --> 00:43:46.020
I'm preparing, I'm prepping myself and my mouth not to go into it because I can

00:43:46.020 --> 00:43:49.060
rant nonstop about this, the state of the world.

00:43:49.820 --> 00:43:56.620
But I think that it is such a funny little comment about, you know, the boomer culture

00:43:56.620 --> 00:44:00.260
or whatever. And we're creating this caricature of what an old person looks like.

00:44:00.260 --> 00:44:06.060
Yeah, it's not a dig. Like, I mean, it's smart, right? If you're, if you have that value and you need the money, like and your kids moved

00:44:06.060 --> 00:44:13.140
on, whatever, like sell your house, right? But like it was just to clarify, this was supposed to be just like what I imagine

00:44:13.140 --> 00:44:16.900
he would do and would look like and, you know, fit into the outfit as well.

00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:20.940
And yeah, yeah, well, part of the problem is the, the boomers aren't selling their

00:44:20.940 --> 00:44:24.900
houses and so sell your house, please, please.

00:44:28.020 --> 00:44:28.380
We're good.

00:44:33.020 --> 00:44:36.820
You look like that could just be your. I like this interaction.

00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:43.300
I wish we had more coverage of Luke and Linus before James seeing them.

00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:46.500
Cause it's actually unclear what you're coming into until after. And it works.

00:44:47.100 --> 00:44:52.740
I think it's a place for a laugh. But that's the challenge of one shooter per team is that it feels like there's

00:44:52.740 --> 00:44:55.860
a lot of interactions, like little details that we're missing.

00:44:56.340 --> 00:44:59.460
But it's crazy that your hair is like grown back, Elijah.

00:44:59.540 --> 00:45:03.100
Yeah, it looks good. How much it's grown already.

00:45:03.580 --> 00:45:06.940
I just look older and like I had some bad decisions. Great decisions.

00:45:08.700 --> 00:45:13.020
This actually might be my favorite part of this video. This, cause this video is barely scrappy at wars.

00:45:13.020 --> 00:45:17.580
It's mostly looking up stuff, hanging out, and then the reaction to each

00:45:17.580 --> 00:45:20.460
other's makeup is what makes me the most happy in this video.

00:45:22.980 --> 00:45:26.380
Like I love that shot. I think I actually, that was me that had a camera because I think Andrew was

00:45:26.380 --> 00:45:30.580
still out at this point. I think it was me shooting that. So that's shot of the series.

00:45:30.580 --> 00:45:33.860
Do you want to say I was out with Andrews? Yeah. Wow.

00:45:34.060 --> 00:45:37.940
Genius. Actually, there's one shot that I will point out when we get to it.

00:45:37.940 --> 00:45:42.780
That is my shot of the series. Um, make your guesses in the chat flow plane.

00:45:42.940 --> 00:45:46.180
If you guys are just joining, we're doing basically director commentary. Not really.

00:45:46.180 --> 00:45:50.060
We're just hanging out. We were just cutting. That sounds emo.

00:45:50.060 --> 00:45:53.980
Well, we weren't supposed to like talk over the video, but then we have so much to

00:45:53.980 --> 00:45:57.140
say, we just, we all like each other's companies. We're all friends here.

00:45:57.140 --> 00:46:02.460
That's part of joining. You sign a waiver would have been better that like I'm reviewing the

00:46:02.460 --> 00:46:05.020
video that I'm not really in so that I can stop yapping.

00:46:07.220 --> 00:46:12.620
I would never like stop. Like there's so many things that like had more contacts and then like, it's not

00:46:12.620 --> 00:46:15.940
that it was like taken out of context completely, but there wasn't like the

00:46:15.940 --> 00:46:22.620
full context. Yeah. Well, that's always the challenge, right? Is sometimes, you know, you have a one minute scene of like getting, you're

00:46:22.620 --> 00:46:26.060
getting to the point, uh, but it doesn't play super well.

00:46:26.060 --> 00:46:31.620
You need it to be 15 seconds of lead up. So you have to cut away all the like stumbles that sort of point your

00:46:31.620 --> 00:46:34.740
brain towards what they're saying. And then it has to be a very specific thing.

00:46:34.740 --> 00:46:39.180
And it's not the full picture, but, uh, I don't think you said anything too bad.

00:46:39.940 --> 00:46:46.980
What was the worst thing you said in this video? In this one, yeah, it was probably either like the boomer comment and it's great.

00:46:46.980 --> 00:46:51.460
I give that a 10 out of 10. I was a little worried that like people wouldn't get what I was saying and like

00:46:51.460 --> 00:46:55.380
wouldn't find it funny, but apparently people found it really funny. I laughed so hard.

00:46:58.460 --> 00:47:04.740
I feel like you've maybe got a bit of an advantage here because people will be like nice to the old grandpa trying to buy a computer for probably one of

00:47:04.740 --> 00:47:10.180
us. So that was that was actually a big thing early on. If we were to do this again, I could see us doing the makeup thing again,

00:47:10.420 --> 00:47:16.060
but we would do it a little bit differently. I wanted to have it be that the teams could pick what their disguises were.

00:47:16.260 --> 00:47:21.540
But again, I just got too close to the end of the line. Yeah. And these were two disguises that they could confidently do without

00:47:21.540 --> 00:47:25.900
measurements or molds. Yeah. I just wish that, um, I don't know.

00:47:25.940 --> 00:47:33.740
It was like a little weird that, uh, yeah, I, I, I, how do I explain this?

00:47:33.980 --> 00:47:41.300
Uh, Linus was my father-in-law and then like, not, not, not like, I'm uncomfortable

00:47:41.300 --> 00:47:45.260
at work, but it was like, I was like, uh, I don't know how to like act around that.

00:47:45.260 --> 00:47:48.580
And then we definitely got like quite a few, like you see Elijah and you see Luke

00:47:48.580 --> 00:47:53.340
together and you're like that they would hang out. They, they could be like, you know, like hanging out.

00:47:53.340 --> 00:47:57.860
And, but then people like would see me pick things up with Linus and they'd be

00:47:57.860 --> 00:48:00.980
like, yeah, like, what are you doing?

00:48:00.980 --> 00:48:05.940
And would make some, you know, give us like a few looks and just look at him

00:48:05.940 --> 00:48:10.660
and look at me, the Porsche, you know, um, and assume certain things that I

00:48:10.660 --> 00:48:13.860
probably shouldn't say all I have to, but, um,

00:48:13.980 --> 00:48:19.260
yeah, I was curious what you thought. Cause at one point, one of the questions, and this, if you don't want to answer

00:48:19.300 --> 00:48:24.340
this, it's totally fine. Um, one of the things that come, that Linus makes a joke about is that like,

00:48:24.660 --> 00:48:28.620
you could, uh, bear his children or something.

00:48:28.820 --> 00:48:31.700
What did that feel like at the time? Okay.

00:48:31.820 --> 00:48:36.220
Yeah. So it's like, I know for some people, like having, I said, let me clarify.

00:48:36.260 --> 00:48:39.700
What he said is you are biologically capable of having a baby or something.

00:48:39.700 --> 00:48:45.140
I mean, I, you could say that like, it's a slippery slope.

00:48:45.620 --> 00:48:48.860
You know what I mean? It's like a weird, I mean, I could, like, there's 16 and pregnant

00:48:48.900 --> 00:48:54.260
as a show, that's what I'll say, right? Like, you know, not to like make it weird, but like you're 16 and pregnant

00:48:54.260 --> 00:48:59.820
as a show. And so like, yeah, theoretically, I could have like had his, see, this is weird.

00:48:59.860 --> 00:49:06.700
This is weird. Yeah. I think it's the, also because he's my boss and I'm like, uh, and also

00:49:06.700 --> 00:49:10.420
like if you do the math, like, I mean, I guess like it could work.

00:49:10.780 --> 00:49:15.420
But yeah, it was just like, uh, but then there was no other like explanation for

00:49:15.460 --> 00:49:19.180
it, right? Cause I was like, I'm his adopted like daughter.

00:49:19.220 --> 00:49:21.860
That would be a, I think a further stretch. Yeah.

00:49:22.220 --> 00:49:24.180
Cause then I'd be a little too young.

00:49:25.260 --> 00:49:28.500
Yes. To be hanging out with a father-in-law.

00:49:28.540 --> 00:49:32.900
That's a little bit weird. Yeah. To be like, I think to be hanging out with a father-in-law without like my

00:49:32.900 --> 00:49:37.460
theoretical son or with my theoretical husband is like also a little weird.

00:49:37.460 --> 00:49:42.180
So like, I don't, I think like, yeah, they're definitely a lot more looks and

00:49:42.180 --> 00:49:45.180
like for some, like for some of the interactions, like, I don't think they

00:49:45.180 --> 00:49:48.340
recognize Linus, but they definitely cut like every single interaction.

00:49:48.340 --> 00:49:51.580
There's a double take. And it was like, is it a, the recognized line is double take?

00:49:51.740 --> 00:49:57.300
Or they were questioning whether like what, what is this like 20, yeah, 20

00:49:57.300 --> 00:50:00.060
something year old, like, you know, um, so that was weird.

00:50:00.420 --> 00:50:04.140
But sorry, uh, uh, I just want to make sure I'm going to respect Eli's time.

00:50:04.380 --> 00:50:07.940
We just want to swap you for Eli. Thanks, Sammy. That was so much fun.

00:50:08.100 --> 00:50:11.180
Yeah. Got big shoes to fill. You lie. I know, right?

00:50:11.300 --> 00:50:14.780
By big, you mean small because I, my heels don't even touch the ground.

00:50:15.900 --> 00:50:18.900
Like when I sit, like, like, like, it's just my toes.

00:50:19.860 --> 00:50:23.460
Is there like a Luke club? No, it won't. It's, uh, yeah.

00:50:23.980 --> 00:50:29.980
My feet are like swinging. Oh, wait. Everything is like adjusted to like an awkward height.

00:50:30.340 --> 00:50:33.620
Enjoy. Thanks, Sammy.

00:50:33.620 --> 00:50:35.140
Everyone say bye, Sammy.

00:50:39.140 --> 00:50:42.620
Heck yeah. What's up, Elijah? How you doing, buddy?

00:50:42.700 --> 00:50:48.740
I'm, I'm, you know what? It's a day, another day, another dollar. You're coming off a big, uh, stream, that 150 hour stream.

00:50:48.740 --> 00:50:52.060
How was that? Uh, it was fun. Yeah. You know, scrappy, scrappy.

00:50:52.140 --> 00:50:55.140
Yeah. Scrappy was more fun, I think. Do you think it was more fun?

00:50:55.180 --> 00:50:59.180
Yeah. It was stressful. The hundred fifty hours scrappy, scrappy words was super stressful.

00:50:59.260 --> 00:51:03.860
I, uh, man, like it was, it was so much fun though.

00:51:03.900 --> 00:51:07.580
I had a blast. I think the reason it was stressful was because of time. It was like a day and a half.

00:51:07.580 --> 00:51:09.060
Yeah. So it's one of those.

00:51:11.460 --> 00:51:14.940
Oh, what's going on? Sammy, what are you doing? Oh, there we go.

00:51:15.540 --> 00:51:20.780
Wow. Breaking everything. I'm in control. Um, yeah, you are great.

00:51:20.820 --> 00:51:29.180
I always love you on camera. I think that the, the audience sentiment mirrors mine that you are such a joy to

00:51:29.180 --> 00:51:35.140
watch on camera. I think you have a sense of, uh, fun and bubbliness about you.

00:51:35.460 --> 00:51:38.700
Uh, and you don't take yourself too seriously, which I think is the key to

00:51:39.020 --> 00:51:46.060
succeeding in our channel. 100%. It just, it, you have to be able to like look at yourself and laugh and have a

00:51:46.060 --> 00:51:50.500
good time because people will look at you and just make the worst assumptions

00:51:50.500 --> 00:51:55.540
about you and the worst comments about you. And so you need to be able to look at that and go, that hurt.

00:51:55.740 --> 00:51:58.580
But also if I said that to myself, would I laugh?

00:51:58.900 --> 00:52:05.900
Yeah. All right, we're good. Well, and a big thing that I had to realize at some point, uh, I don't know when I

00:52:05.900 --> 00:52:11.020
realized this, but, um, if you don't have haters, you don't matter.

00:52:11.900 --> 00:52:16.860
Like that, yeah, like it's you, the most likable people, the best people on this

00:52:16.860 --> 00:52:21.380
planet, you know, like the Dolly Partons, uh, the other Dolly Partons, she's the

00:52:21.380 --> 00:52:27.380
best Dolly Parton to Dolly Parton to, um, the Dolly, but the, the, the two L's are

00:52:27.380 --> 00:52:34.020
like a Roman, Roman too. Um, I thought you were talking about the AI image generator for a second, the Dolly

00:52:34.020 --> 00:52:39.700
image generator. Hey, that's a good one. That's, um, there's haters.

00:52:39.860 --> 00:52:46.100
And so, you know, you reach a certain level of, uh, vision, visibility, and there's

00:52:46.100 --> 00:52:53.100
people that will just not like you. And obviously neither of us are as good or as likable as Dolly Parton, but not yet.

00:52:53.180 --> 00:52:58.140
I think that like it doesn't matter what you do at a certain level and a certain

00:52:58.140 --> 00:53:01.900
level of exposure, there will just be someone that looks at your face and is

00:53:01.900 --> 00:53:07.420
like, I don't like it. I just don't like them. 100%. And I, it's funny how that actually changes per channel.

00:53:08.380 --> 00:53:14.540
You know what I found? I found that very interesting. So on LTT, there's definitely a higher percentage of, yeah, this guy's cool versus

00:53:14.540 --> 00:53:21.620
I hate this guy on GameLinked. There is a much higher percentage of, I hate this guy versus, and I was like, I

00:53:21.620 --> 00:53:25.660
find that so interesting how like at the same, like we aren't, there are different

00:53:25.660 --> 00:53:31.260
channels, I get it, right? But at the same like company, I can go on a different channel and get different

00:53:31.380 --> 00:53:36.100
levels of comments. And it's, it's tough to remember that they might have a different audience

00:53:36.140 --> 00:53:40.500
than LTT, because I just always am like, oh, if you watch GameLinked, you have

00:53:40.500 --> 00:53:43.380
to watch LTT, but it's very possible. They're just completely different.

00:53:43.900 --> 00:53:47.620
Yeah. And like there's obviously some sharedness over it, but like tech link and

00:53:47.620 --> 00:53:54.140
game link in particular, they've been running long enough and are big enough that they do have their own 100% and even if, you know, they started on LTT,

00:53:54.380 --> 00:53:57.900
there's a lot of people I've seen comments, uh, especially over the last year

00:53:57.900 --> 00:54:00.940
where it's like, I don't watch any LTT anymore, but I still watch tech link for

00:54:00.940 --> 00:54:05.460
Riley or whatever. Uh, but then it's also like, uh, you're going up against Riley and that's a

00:54:05.460 --> 00:54:08.180
very likable person. Yeah, yeah, like how do you go up against that?

00:54:08.580 --> 00:54:13.140
Especially when he writes the jokes in the way he would speak it. So then I have to try to perform that.

00:54:13.140 --> 00:54:16.180
I'm like, ooh, okay. Well, and it's so funny.

00:54:16.180 --> 00:54:21.300
Like we, we experienced this that yesterday. We were two days ago, we were shooting that pickup for Scrapper Wars four.

00:54:21.300 --> 00:54:26.620
And it's like, it's my words coming out of your mouth. And it's just so much harder to read someone else's jokes.

00:54:26.620 --> 00:54:30.660
And 100% the, I think the opening of that one was like some stupid

00:54:30.660 --> 00:54:35.420
joke or whatever. Yeah, that's right past me. I think is what it was because it's like, it'll pause the video.

00:54:35.700 --> 00:54:40.980
Uh, and you're like, thanks, Java or whatever. And then yeah, he cuts to the pickup and it's like, that's right past me.

00:54:41.300 --> 00:54:45.380
And to me, that's, I don't think I'm, I'm not saying this for

00:54:45.380 --> 00:54:51.140
personal requirements. I don't think I'm the best joke writer there is, but I think I'm a good on

00:54:51.140 --> 00:54:58.940
the fly expression kind of guy. Like I can use my tool set to increase stupid shit to be funny.

00:54:58.980 --> 00:55:01.860
100%. And so that's the kind of stuff that I can do. That's funny.

00:55:01.980 --> 00:55:06.420
Whereas as a joke, it's a low quality show, especially when someone else

00:55:06.420 --> 00:55:11.540
who has not seen it has to read it. Yeah. I like, and that's, I think that goes to back to some of my strengths

00:55:11.540 --> 00:55:15.140
that you were talking about earlier on camera, just the natural banter that I'm

00:55:15.140 --> 00:55:19.860
able to have with whoever my co-host is. Um, I think is my biggest strength.

00:55:20.140 --> 00:55:24.340
I think that's why the AMD upgrades are my biggest strength is just like me and

00:55:24.340 --> 00:55:28.460
Linus can, for the lack of better words, bully each other jokingly on camera of

00:55:28.460 --> 00:55:34.460
like, well, you're an idiot. You drilled an extra hole, right? And like it still is able to, I'm able to play off that and be like, yeah, at

00:55:34.460 --> 00:55:37.820
least I don't have a dent in my floor, you know, like just things like that.

00:55:38.180 --> 00:55:42.980
Yeah. You, I've done a really good job with those Andy upgrades. I like the consistency of having you there.

00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:47.820
Whereas before it felt so disparate. Uh, and I think you've, yeah, you've done a really good job elevating them.

00:55:47.860 --> 00:55:52.340
I just watched what would probably be the final pass of Collins.

00:55:53.300 --> 00:55:56.260
I was laughing for like 80% of it.

00:55:56.700 --> 00:55:59.900
I audibly out loud. Well, no, no, no shilling. No shilling.

00:55:59.900 --> 00:56:02.620
It was so funny. You guys are going to really enjoy it.

00:56:03.220 --> 00:56:06.220
I'm going to shill. I'm going to only scrap your words.

00:56:06.220 --> 00:56:09.780
This is, this is, let's, let's go back to, I should have a question from

00:56:09.780 --> 00:56:14.380
Dan F jumped a video too, I guess. Sure. I should have a question before we go through that.

00:56:15.220 --> 00:56:19.500
Yeah. Uh, how upset was the wife, uh, about the eyebrow slit?

00:56:20.100 --> 00:56:25.780
Oh, she, she didn't care. She thought it was funny. She, she, she's someone who's also very much like you do, you for content.

00:56:26.060 --> 00:56:30.860
Um, I don't really care overall. I think if I had shaved my eyebrow off, she probably would have divorced me.

00:56:31.460 --> 00:56:37.020
Um, but I actually asked her like after a day or two, I was like, what are your,

00:56:37.020 --> 00:56:40.420
what are your thoughts? She's like, just once it grows in, do the other side.

00:56:41.340 --> 00:56:46.180
I was like, oh, okay. So I think she just, she doesn't mind the eyebrow slit. And I think it doesn't look bad from like a distance.

00:56:46.180 --> 00:56:50.740
You can kind of see on camera. It's like kind of okay. Well, it's so trendy, but like, I think I just need to do the other side now.

00:56:51.460 --> 00:56:54.580
I see, I like it with the one side because it feels like it's more like it

00:56:54.580 --> 00:57:00.380
could be a scar. Yeah. Oh yeah. She doesn't want both. Oh, she just wants, once this one grows in, just do this side.

00:57:00.420 --> 00:57:04.500
Oh, just the right side will look better. I, is your face really asymmetrical?

00:57:05.620 --> 00:57:11.260
I don't think so. I mean, I have my birthmark on my chin. So that like also contributes to it, but I don't know.

00:57:11.380 --> 00:57:19.500
Am I asymmetrical chat? Like you look pretty symmetrical. I'm pretty, I'm pretty wonky donkey because my nose goes more to one side.

00:57:19.980 --> 00:57:23.740
Uh, so like on my profile is very different depending on the side you look at.

00:57:23.740 --> 00:57:26.900
Like my nose used to curve to the right, but that was because I, when I

00:57:26.900 --> 00:57:30.140
spot in gymnastics, you always get kicked by kids.

00:57:30.140 --> 00:57:34.820
So my nose actually grew to the right for a while. Yep. If you guys want to know something impressive about Elijah at our last

00:57:34.820 --> 00:57:38.980
writer party, he can do a standing backflip. He did gymnastics and coached it for many, many years.

00:57:40.260 --> 00:57:44.220
Floatplane's been wanting me to do a backflip for months. Sammy, make the extra happen.

00:57:44.220 --> 00:57:47.820
No, Linus, every time Linus hears about it, he's going to break my knees.

00:57:47.820 --> 00:57:51.900
He's like, don't you dare do a backflip on company time? Cause if I get hurt, I'm screwed.

00:57:52.860 --> 00:57:56.660
That's how you do it. It's, it's been denied by three. Colton denied it.

00:57:56.740 --> 00:57:58.460
HR denied it. You can do it on my channel.

00:58:00.500 --> 00:58:03.940
Scrapper Edwards, uh, 10, you have to do a backflip for every dollar you want.

00:58:06.260 --> 00:58:10.620
You earn like three dollars. I had to do a hundred a day.

00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:14.500
That's wild for like months. How many do you think you could do now?

00:58:14.620 --> 00:58:16.820
I could probably do, I could probably bang out 15.

00:58:17.740 --> 00:58:21.620
Still, I would, I would struggle and I would feel it the next morning, but I

00:58:21.660 --> 00:58:27.580
could probably bang out 15 because you still have that explosive power. Like I was really impressed because so much of it is just getting the vertical

00:58:27.580 --> 00:58:31.460
to get over. Like it's not about the immediately spinning. It's about getting high and then flipping.

00:58:31.820 --> 00:58:36.580
And so seeing you just like float, fly, I was very impressed.

00:58:36.580 --> 00:58:39.820
So that's, that's one of my fitness goals is to get back to being able to do

00:58:39.820 --> 00:58:45.500
that kind of explosive power. So just so we don't just talk for half an hour.

00:58:45.940 --> 00:58:49.860
Well, we can just jump around the episode two and just find parts.

00:58:49.860 --> 00:58:52.340
Eli wants to talk about our watch. I haven't watched episode two.

00:58:53.180 --> 00:58:56.180
You know, can I be honest with you? We've only seen episode one.

00:58:56.180 --> 00:59:01.220
Yeah, because I wanted to make sure I knew episode one was going to be the most important episode one and episode four are the most important.

00:59:01.220 --> 00:59:07.020
Yes. Um, two and three. I was like, man, in my opinion, I did watch episode three at 10X speed.

00:59:07.740 --> 00:59:11.940
10X platform. Can you watch it at 10X YouTube extension on Chrome?

00:59:12.100 --> 00:59:16.060
So I was just like, all right, we're going to watch this at 10X. How do you process anything at 10X?

00:59:16.060 --> 00:59:20.140
I got, I got most of it. I understood Linus cheated a lot.

00:59:20.660 --> 00:59:24.260
I don't think he's cheating. The one second, let's see.

00:59:24.260 --> 00:59:33.580
I'm curious what you think is cheating. So for me, I remember asking you and Luke, if we were allowed to go over budget.

00:59:33.580 --> 00:59:37.220
Yeah. And then get back under budget. You asked only Luke.

00:59:37.860 --> 00:59:40.980
I swear I asked you. There's footage. I checked that. Did you?

00:59:41.060 --> 00:59:44.260
Yeah. Okay. Cause I was like, they didn't, they didn't ask me. They just did it.

00:59:44.260 --> 00:59:49.420
Oh, because I probably would have allowed it because I think it's

00:59:49.420 --> 00:59:56.820
interesting because then if we go over in the end, it's like, they did ask me. There was footage of me being like, I didn't, I didn't hear anything and it's

00:59:56.820 --> 00:59:57.220
interesting.

01:00:00.340 --> 01:00:05.820
we shouldn't do that. We shouldn't do that. And that, and when I, when I did watch through and found out they did that, I was

01:00:05.820 --> 01:00:10.980
like, God damn it. Yeah, we can't use spoilers for part four and the results and stuff, but it'll

01:00:10.980 --> 01:00:14.740
be interesting how it all plays out. I was just like, ah, man, that's like, because like, yeah, there was the thought

01:00:14.740 --> 01:00:18.540
process of buying full systems and then trying to part it out to get it back under.

01:00:18.540 --> 01:00:22.060
Right. Like if we had bought a computer with another graphics card, for example, like

01:00:22.060 --> 01:00:27.260
a 10 50 or something, we could have theoretically sold that 10 50 to throw

01:00:27.260 --> 01:00:30.580
the 30 80 in whatever the combination of crap could have been.

01:00:30.580 --> 01:00:34.420
But I think if they were trying to do, you know, doubling their budget so they

01:00:34.420 --> 01:00:37.900
can part it out and sell it, like I would have been less into that, but because

01:00:37.900 --> 01:00:43.660
you could justify it as they were just releasing their Java budget into their

01:00:43.660 --> 01:00:47.020
regular budget and I don't know, man, it goes out on your credit card.

01:00:47.980 --> 01:00:51.020
But I mean, like if you order on Java, right, you put the purchase through on

01:00:51.020 --> 01:00:54.380
your credit card, the money's not there anymore. Yeah, but you guys got to switch your Java thing too.

01:00:54.420 --> 01:00:57.580
That's true. But because Java had the return thing, return.

01:00:57.580 --> 01:01:00.860
No, actually, you can't do that. I specifically had to cut it.

01:01:03.580 --> 01:01:06.740
If you guys order on Java and you change your mind, that is not a thing.

01:01:06.780 --> 01:01:12.380
Don't change your mind. We did it because we're making a video, but they have a great customer

01:01:12.380 --> 01:01:16.100
satisfaction promise about, you know, the reliability, that stuff.

01:01:16.140 --> 01:01:19.900
So thanks again to Java. Is there a specific part that you want to watch, Eli?

01:01:20.020 --> 01:01:21.940
And that was all right. Sorry.

01:01:24.860 --> 01:01:29.500
So this one starts with them getting their first system.

01:01:30.260 --> 01:01:35.700
There's some pretty good stuff. So the one thing I think Linus's team did better than your team was getting

01:01:36.540 --> 01:01:40.380
close calls with being recognized. Sorry, just change his scenes, please.

01:01:41.340 --> 01:01:44.020
I don't have it on my stream deck. I'm too scared to press anything and break it.

01:01:44.740 --> 01:01:48.220
So you do have it. You're just scared. Yes. I'm too scared.

01:01:48.220 --> 01:01:49.780
Classic Sammy. Classic Sammy.

01:01:52.740 --> 01:01:57.060
And so, yeah, like they had a lot of interactions where people would recognize

01:01:57.060 --> 01:02:00.700
them and it's not quite fair because Linus is the most recognizable.

01:02:00.740 --> 01:02:04.100
100%. Like it's like, I know you get recognized.

01:02:04.100 --> 01:02:07.220
I was shocked. I got recognized. That was awesome.

01:02:07.260 --> 01:02:12.620
I was so, dude, that was like one of those moments where I was like, like, I was

01:02:12.620 --> 01:02:17.100
like, the dude was genuinely chat. That video was like five minutes long on my phone.

01:02:17.420 --> 01:02:20.820
That guy was bouncing up and down with excitement.

01:02:20.860 --> 01:02:25.100
And I was like, oh man, this is, this is so wholesome.

01:02:25.100 --> 01:02:29.900
Like this is so cool. Yeah. And the first cut that I saw of part two, it didn't make it.

01:02:31.020 --> 01:02:34.420
Not that it wasn't going to make it. It's just like your footage hadn't been put in yet.

01:02:34.500 --> 01:02:38.300
Yeah. And so when it made it into a later cut, yeah, just made me smile.

01:02:38.300 --> 01:02:42.460
It's like genuine joy that he gets to be part of this video.

01:02:43.420 --> 01:02:46.420
And he had no idea until I showed up and I was going to talk him down.

01:02:46.780 --> 01:02:50.980
I remember getting there and I think we had agreed on 170 was the price of that

01:02:50.980 --> 01:02:54.820
system and I was going to go for 150, which would have, I think been fair.

01:02:54.860 --> 01:03:00.100
Yeah. I was going to get there and try to be like, Hey, 150, but he kind of was

01:03:00.100 --> 01:03:06.820
hesitating a bit and I noticed he was double looking. And so I didn't want to ask because I was like, if he even subconsciously knows,

01:03:06.820 --> 01:03:09.700
does that count as cheating? So I started overthinking it in my head.

01:03:10.460 --> 01:03:15.700
And then by the time it got to that moment, it was too late. And he said, do you watch YouTube?

01:03:16.820 --> 01:03:20.300
And I was like, what's YouTube? I was so close to doing that.

01:03:20.300 --> 01:03:23.940
I was so close to being like, but I just basically was like, oh, yeah.

01:03:23.980 --> 01:03:27.180
Like a couple of channels. He's like, why are you buying this computer?

01:03:28.860 --> 01:03:34.380
Trying to build a computer, you know, just trying to have a good time. I have a funny story of the first time I thought I was getting recognized.

01:03:34.380 --> 01:03:43.340
Well, the first time, but one of the first times I thought I was getting recognized. I was at a restaurant and I was just like eating dinner with my partner at the time.

01:03:43.620 --> 01:03:47.940
And there's like a kid at another table and they're kind of just doing their own thing, but I noticed he's kind of staring at me.

01:03:48.260 --> 01:03:50.380
And I was like, I wonder if he knows I'm from Lannis Tech Tips.

01:03:52.300 --> 01:03:56.380
And later during the dinner, whatever, the mom comes over and she's like,

01:03:56.780 --> 01:04:00.500
it's like, are you on YouTube? And I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I am.

01:04:00.700 --> 01:04:03.740
And she's like, are you name of a channel I never heard of?

01:04:03.740 --> 01:04:06.500
And I was like, oh, shit. Nope.

01:04:07.220 --> 01:04:11.620
So funny. Oh, my goodness. I remember feeling really big because that was probably like the

01:04:11.620 --> 01:04:16.340
second or third time I'd ever been recognized. And so I was like, oh, man, yeah, I'm real popular.

01:04:16.540 --> 01:04:21.620
No, I was mistaken identity. So if that moment's in here, that would be probably one of my favorite.

01:04:21.700 --> 01:04:24.860
Oh, yeah. I don't know if that was the order part three. I think it's this one.

01:04:25.300 --> 01:04:31.940
Yeah. Because yeah, this one includes you and Sammy going overnight to get stuff.

01:04:31.980 --> 01:04:34.020
Oh, God, that hair cut.

01:04:35.020 --> 01:04:39.140
Oh, I forgot how red that looks. You're protecting. It's not that bad.

01:04:40.700 --> 01:04:43.980
Everyone commenting on my bald spot on the top of my head. It's a calyx, isn't it you?

01:04:43.980 --> 01:04:47.780
It's just where the hair folds. My hair is very thick.

01:04:47.780 --> 01:04:51.700
The one we're getting recommends a seven. Luscious even. For a system with one.

01:04:51.700 --> 01:04:54.700
I don't know if I got that far. Um, quickly without storage.

01:04:55.020 --> 01:04:59.180
So I like this all the stuff. Yeah, so much text on screen.

01:04:59.180 --> 01:05:02.460
I didn't originally wasn't like that, but the notes were like, we need to put

01:05:02.460 --> 01:05:08.740
everything in. I remember. I did actually watch the original cut that because I remember on Wansho

01:05:08.740 --> 01:05:12.180
Linus had announced needs a little bit more time in the oven. You know, it needs to cook a bit more.

01:05:12.540 --> 01:05:16.220
So I actually did go back off hours, which I probably shouldn't have, but I

01:05:16.220 --> 01:05:19.140
couldn't sleep. So I went back and watched the original cut.

01:05:20.740 --> 01:05:26.140
And there are some things that I actually would disagree on needed to be changed.

01:05:26.620 --> 01:05:29.340
I still think this cut is the better cut.

01:05:29.780 --> 01:05:32.780
Yeah. But there was some moments that was talked about.

01:05:33.220 --> 01:05:42.540
I was like, I don't know why we're changing that. I think like I personally, for example, the first original edit had, um, uh, way

01:05:42.540 --> 01:05:48.100
more cuts back and forth between us and, uh, team Sammy Linus.

01:05:48.700 --> 01:05:53.420
And I actually preferred that because as a, I think maybe this is just

01:05:53.420 --> 01:05:58.180
Zoomer brain rot, but as a Zoomer brain rot, if I'm watching one thing too long

01:05:58.180 --> 01:06:02.260
and they don't make progress, like in this case, they're just like talking

01:06:02.260 --> 01:06:07.740
about the computer and opening it up. I was kind of like, Oh, I don't know. But the cutting back and forth made it seem like things are happening in

01:06:07.740 --> 01:06:11.740
sync and we're both going along. Right. That was kind of the original idea.

01:06:12.020 --> 01:06:17.020
And I think they're like, I don't want to get too inside baseball, but we have

01:06:17.100 --> 01:06:20.580
a part of our process late in the game that Linus reviews the videos.

01:06:20.580 --> 01:06:24.300
And it's supposed to be basically 100% done and he watches it and it goes.

01:06:24.300 --> 01:06:27.700
And so that's what happened with part two is it hit LMG review.

01:06:27.900 --> 01:06:33.180
It wasn't 100% done, but there was an understanding that everything's kind of rushed, but then it was like, Hey, this isn't ready.

01:06:33.380 --> 01:06:41.300
We need to go back to the drawing board a little bit and do that. But the one of the challenges is one of our greatest Ben, one of our greatest

01:06:41.300 --> 01:06:46.660
ball lengths as a company is Linus time. And so he often watches videos at faster speeds.

01:06:46.780 --> 01:06:49.420
And I 100% talked to Sammy about this.

01:06:49.780 --> 01:06:55.380
And I think that's where the issue was. I think so too. And I think that like it's not a bad cut, but if you're watching it at

01:06:55.380 --> 01:06:58.700
1.5, 1.7 times speed, it would be really fast.

01:06:58.780 --> 01:07:02.060
It would be very discombobulating. I actually watched the cut.

01:07:02.660 --> 01:07:05.540
I think the first bit was a little too fast, but I think after it was fine.

01:07:05.780 --> 01:07:09.380
Yeah. I think the beginning is way better in the second version.

01:07:09.380 --> 01:07:13.500
We really fixed it up and massaged it and move stuff around in a way

01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:17.820
that makes it way better. But I released the Snyder cut.

01:07:17.820 --> 01:07:22.140
Well, they are saying the Horner cut right now. The Horner cut, damn.

01:07:23.580 --> 01:07:27.740
I'm not going to read that one. Never mind. The horny kit. Yeah, that's exactly what I wasn't going to read.

01:07:27.820 --> 01:07:32.900
Okay. That was my high school name. I got beat up every day called Horny Horner.

01:07:33.140 --> 01:07:37.020
Oh, we actually have somebody, a geeky vapor said the shaved

01:07:37.020 --> 01:07:40.420
sides wasn't that bad to kind of suit you. Yeah, I didn't think it was that bad.

01:07:40.420 --> 01:07:45.100
Oh, I have one validation. I think it's one of those things that if you had the wardrobe that matched

01:07:45.100 --> 01:07:50.220
that style, you could pull it off. But you have, you know, geeky YouTuber wardrobe.

01:07:50.700 --> 01:07:54.740
Yeah, I don't know. I didn't like it. Looking back at that haircut is rough.

01:07:54.740 --> 01:08:00.300
I like kind of the style it is now. Yeah, I need to go get it trimmed up a little bit more.

01:08:00.300 --> 01:08:05.260
But I want to, I think the mullet staying. I think like the curly mullet is pretty sweet.

01:08:05.260 --> 01:08:08.340
Like some pretty cool people like Curtis Conner has a curly mullet.

01:08:08.380 --> 01:08:11.740
Yeah. And so there's a lot of people here who have it now.

01:08:11.740 --> 01:08:15.220
So I've got a little bit of a mullet. Yeah, Adam's got it. I don't have curly.

01:08:15.220 --> 01:08:16.420
I got straight.

01:08:18.900 --> 01:08:21.620
Yeah, my curls and yeah, I'm a little bit jealous.

01:08:22.340 --> 01:08:26.340
All right, let's let's resume the video than I initially. Yes, I just want to hang with the leisure.

01:08:26.980 --> 01:08:28.540
When we get to hang out, we're just doing videos now.

01:08:31.300 --> 01:08:34.460
I remember when you actually asked me to film this because at the time

01:08:34.460 --> 01:08:37.460
I had a whole bunch of other videos on my plate.

01:08:37.860 --> 01:08:41.180
And one of the metrics, I'm not going to go to a detail, but one of the

01:08:41.180 --> 01:08:45.620
metrics that we do kind of based some of our videos on is performance

01:08:45.620 --> 01:08:48.780
and sometimes just community engagement like likes and whatever.

01:08:48.780 --> 01:08:52.820
Right. So one of the things I remember David asking me, he's like, if you do this

01:08:52.820 --> 01:08:58.820
shoot, I'll make sure I share the likes with you because we do have a system where it's to encourage collaboration as well where like, Hey, David,

01:08:58.820 --> 01:09:03.540
I'm going to help you get this video across the finish line. Okay, we'll kind of share some of the engagement analytics that way.

01:09:03.740 --> 01:09:09.300
It makes both of us benefit from it. And I remember you being like, I'll make sure you get likes from every part.

01:09:09.580 --> 01:09:15.820
Yeah, it was definitely a tough call. So I, you weren't on the short list immediately.

01:09:16.020 --> 01:09:18.620
Yeah, you came into the conversation later for being a participant.

01:09:19.820 --> 01:09:24.060
And it was a pretty easy like, yeah, that makes a lot of sense. Like you have the technical knowledge to help look out.

01:09:24.260 --> 01:09:26.900
You're great on camera presence. Like there's just everything kind of fit.

01:09:27.300 --> 01:09:32.420
But I remember having to swallow my pride a little bit because I knew that

01:09:32.420 --> 01:09:37.900
it wouldn't be fair to ask you to do it without sharing the likes. But I'm like, if I get a nonwriter, I get a host and I don't have to share my

01:09:37.900 --> 01:09:44.820
legs and I was, I was 100% expecting to not be in it because of like just time

01:09:44.820 --> 01:09:53.340
and things like that. I'm a big believer that the long term good choice will pay off.

01:09:53.460 --> 01:09:58.300
And it's like, yeah, maybe I could have stolen more likes for myself as a metric.

01:09:58.620 --> 01:10:04.100
But it's like, what's more important? Having the video be better, having everything kind of like work together

01:10:04.100 --> 01:10:09.140
in unison or, you know, me getting whatever, just a little extra.

01:10:09.140 --> 01:10:14.820
And so it was a bit of a tough call, but it was, I'm not, I'm not one to

01:10:14.860 --> 01:10:19.020
make that kind of short-sighted decision. I'm a big believer in the long term.

01:10:20.340 --> 01:10:24.180
Very hard for them to not recognize us. Oh, that was the knock to a family.

01:10:24.180 --> 01:10:25.380
Oh, yeah.

01:10:27.380 --> 01:10:31.100
AMD Ryzen 5 4500. Stupid name. Oh, I love it.

01:10:32.100 --> 01:10:37.620
Do you think if we say, hey, no hard drive, no quadro, no power supply in a case?

01:10:37.620 --> 01:10:41.500
No case. Basically, like, give us everything you can afford.

01:10:41.620 --> 01:10:44.700
Like 125 bucks posted 18 days ago.

01:10:44.940 --> 01:10:48.220
That's a long time ago. Why isn't it? I can't believe they ended up getting this one.

01:10:48.220 --> 01:10:52.380
That's crazy. Yeah. It's one of those ones that's like, it's not a good system.

01:10:52.420 --> 01:10:54.980
It was such a good skeleton though. It's such a good skeleton.

01:10:55.500 --> 01:11:00.300
Yeah, I would not run that as is, but those, just those fans, it's $200 worth of fans.

01:11:00.300 --> 01:11:06.100
Like, yeah, could have sold those. Yeah. And he made the right choice, keeping the 3600, not the 45.

01:11:06.100 --> 01:11:10.180
Because like, I wouldn't know what a 4500 is. I would have assumed that it's like some APU piece of crap.

01:11:10.620 --> 01:11:13.900
You don't happen to have the mounting hardware. The dog is very cute.

01:11:13.900 --> 01:11:14.900
It is very cute.

01:11:17.100 --> 01:11:20.300
I promise not to knock on your door again. I'll ring the bell.

01:11:20.620 --> 01:11:24.020
I'm surprised I didn't believe it. It has more cores and more threads.

01:11:24.020 --> 01:11:27.620
It's a Ryzen 717. That's the one we ended up going with. First-gen Ryzen.

01:11:27.620 --> 01:11:31.140
That's pretty good. But it comes with the motherboard, 16 gigs of RAM.

01:11:31.140 --> 01:11:34.340
That's pretty good. That's pretty good. $750 watt. That's pretty good. That's amazing.

01:11:34.340 --> 01:11:37.860
Yeah, that was my favorite. Loot part. When with. Is this available?

01:11:37.860 --> 01:11:44.340
I can. Wait, what are we looking for again? Oh, you picking up the stuff. Yeah, I think it's actually in the next, it's either near the two-thirds mark

01:11:44.340 --> 01:11:49.020
or probably near the end of this video. I don't know. I thought it was earlier, but I didn't watch it.

01:11:50.660 --> 01:11:54.020
I think it's early on when it's like, you're coming back, and you're like, this is what happened.

01:11:54.020 --> 01:11:59.060
You know, but like, we haven't even picked it up yet. We're talking about picking it up. Well, no, no, you picked it up yesterday.

01:11:59.060 --> 01:12:02.460
No, because this is still day one. Oh, crap. This is still day one.

01:12:02.460 --> 01:12:06.060
You're right, you're right. In terms of filming. You're right. Yeah, because we didn't pick it up yet,

01:12:06.060 --> 01:12:11.180
because I didn't do all the driving. So yeah, it's still day one.

01:12:11.180 --> 01:12:14.780
It's all still day one. Is that you?

01:12:14.780 --> 01:12:19.740
That's you. He just read it right now. I watched him pick it up now.

01:12:19.740 --> 01:12:24.060
OK, day two. Oh, yeah. That guy, I got the GPU yesterday,

01:12:24.060 --> 01:12:28.340
and I got the full tower. That was a long drive. To recognize me, which was fun.

01:12:28.340 --> 01:12:31.820
The haircut did work. He was so happy, man. With $1.70, that's what you were doing.

01:12:31.820 --> 01:12:35.420
Sammy, is there more of this interaction that made it into the extras?

01:12:37.540 --> 01:12:41.260
Sorry? Is there more of this interaction that made it into the extras?

01:12:41.260 --> 01:12:44.660
No. Man, I have the full video.

01:12:44.660 --> 01:12:48.540
It's good, man. The dude was just so happy. I would try to like, start the conversation

01:12:48.540 --> 01:12:52.180
about the video. I'd be like, well, we're going to pick up this. And he's like, no.

01:12:52.180 --> 01:12:56.300
I'm like, OK, my bad. Like, let me talk. Like, I can't believe this is happening.

01:12:56.300 --> 01:12:59.820
So I'm not using my influence to get a deal. Dude, I can't believe this is happening.

01:12:59.820 --> 01:13:03.020
He was so happy, man. Oh. I thought you were coming.

01:13:03.020 --> 01:13:08.180
I mean, we bought it for you. It's those interactions that make this job sometimes just

01:13:08.180 --> 01:13:14.580
the greatest job in the world. To know that you, someone's chewing in the mic.

01:13:14.580 --> 01:13:17.700
Sammy? Sorry, I could hear it.

01:13:17.780 --> 01:13:23.780
I was like, it's not one of us. Sorry, I was hyper-sensitive to that.

01:13:23.780 --> 01:13:28.180
It's those interactions that just make it incredible. I remember going to the Vancouver car show a couple

01:13:28.180 --> 01:13:33.380
months ago, and there was a whack ton of people wearing LTT hoodies and stuff.

01:13:33.380 --> 01:13:37.020
And then they would like, kind of hang out. And they knew who we were, but they

01:13:37.020 --> 01:13:40.300
didn't want to come talk to us. And I remember several times looking, I'm like, just come up

01:13:40.300 --> 01:13:43.660
and say hi. Me personally, this is not going for everyone

01:13:43.660 --> 01:13:47.460
here at this company. I will never, ever say no if you want to come up.

01:13:47.460 --> 01:13:52.300
And say hi. There's, I think, the preferred way of doing it.

01:13:52.300 --> 01:13:56.340
And it's, you walk up assertively, and you're like, hey, I'm a huge fan.

01:13:56.340 --> 01:13:59.460
100%. I, like, I watch all your stuff, whatever.

01:13:59.460 --> 01:14:04.700
Whatever is true. Don't make up some total bullshit. 100%. And then, like, can I get a photo?

01:14:04.700 --> 01:14:08.500
Yes. 100% of the time. That is the best. You will get a.

01:14:08.500 --> 01:14:13.300
Yeah, sure. That is the best option. Whereas, if you just stand there awkwardly, it's way worse.

01:14:13.300 --> 01:14:16.620
Don't think we don't see you.

01:14:16.620 --> 01:14:20.540
There was at least a dozen people that would follow us through the car show.

01:14:20.540 --> 01:14:24.460
And it's because they just didn't have that either courage or they weren't sure.

01:14:24.460 --> 01:14:27.860
Whatever it may be, that is a way worse option than just

01:14:27.860 --> 01:14:31.900
coming up and saying hello. I think even people who don't want to be approached

01:14:31.900 --> 01:14:34.940
would say that that is a better option than you standing

01:14:34.940 --> 01:14:39.900
there awkwardly. Especially, yeah, people of our level of recognizability,

01:14:39.900 --> 01:14:43.500
where it's like, it's not happening all the time. At certain events, it happens more than others.

01:14:43.500 --> 01:14:48.980
And it's just like, keep it brief. Make it not a big deal in terms of like, yeah,

01:14:48.980 --> 01:14:52.220
hanging around is the worst. Yeah, no one's going to leave.

01:14:52.220 --> 01:14:56.100
But other than that, I'll never. That's a big one. Yeah, once you've gotten your photo,

01:14:56.100 --> 01:14:59.540
don't just keep hanging around. It's weird. Do you know what I used to do? What's that?

01:14:59.540 --> 01:15:03.420
So I don't do it anymore. So don't you dare approach me with this idea.

01:15:03.420 --> 01:15:06.460
I carried stickers. And so the thing I would do is I'd say,

01:15:06.460 --> 01:15:09.540
thanks for stopping by. Before you leave, here's some stickers.

01:15:09.540 --> 01:15:14.260
So then the moment I give them the stickers, they're like, thanks. And then they leave because I've told them that now they

01:15:14.260 --> 01:15:18.500
have to leave. I don't carry stickers on me anymore because I ran out.

01:15:18.500 --> 01:15:22.140
So I need more. It's going to carry $1 bills. Thanks for the time.

01:15:22.140 --> 01:15:25.140
You're going to get mobbed. I didn't see the comment.

01:15:25.140 --> 01:15:30.500
I didn't see the person comment on this. So I'm sorry for that. But they're wondering if Eli read the comments for episode 2,

01:15:30.500 --> 01:15:33.500
even though he didn't watch it. Yes. Classic.

01:15:33.500 --> 01:15:36.780
Yeah, I know, right? I have a problem.

01:15:36.780 --> 01:15:42.420
I read every, every comment on every video.

01:15:42.420 --> 01:15:46.300
Why? Why did you do that to yourself? On every channel. Why?

01:15:46.300 --> 01:15:50.460
It's in a, it's, this is going to sound really weird

01:15:50.460 --> 01:15:54.100
for people who don't have to do it. It's an addiction.

01:15:54.100 --> 01:15:57.700
It is 100% an addiction because all I want to do

01:15:57.700 --> 01:16:03.780
is I want to make sure that everyone is enjoying the content. Interesting. And I want to know that it's going well.

01:16:03.780 --> 01:16:08.700
I've talked to Linus about this. I've talked to everyone. They're all telling me, you got to stop, but I cannot.

01:16:08.700 --> 01:16:12.980
Huh. I can't, I can't. It's just one of those things of like, I'll wake up at three in the morning

01:16:12.980 --> 01:16:18.180
because I get about two to four hours of sleep at night. I'll wake up at, I'll wake up at three in the morning.

01:16:18.180 --> 01:16:21.460
Literally the first thing I do, I roll over

01:16:21.460 --> 01:16:25.380
and I refresh comments. That's horrible. Horrible, yes.

01:16:25.380 --> 01:16:31.780
I feel so bad for you that that is a horrible addiction

01:16:31.780 --> 01:16:36.540
because it's like, when did it start for you? Was it kind of like instead of social media fix?

01:16:36.540 --> 01:16:40.180
Because you're like active on Twitter, but you're not like a super social media guy.

01:16:40.180 --> 01:16:44.540
Yeah, no, I'm not a social media guy. So do you think this is kind of like replacing that in your life

01:16:44.540 --> 01:16:49.700
or filling that gap or? I think for me, I think a lot of it

01:16:49.700 --> 01:16:55.220
is I just worry about if something is happening

01:16:55.220 --> 01:16:58.860
that I'm not aware of. So like, let's say like, I don't know,

01:16:58.860 --> 01:17:02.260
I made a comment that I didn't even realize made it into a video.

01:17:02.260 --> 01:17:05.780
And now people are using it to hold my family hostage.

01:17:05.780 --> 01:17:09.540
I know that's a completely exaggeration. I know what you mean. That's where my brain goes, right?

01:17:09.540 --> 01:17:13.060
And so I immediately, I'm just like, OK, I got to look at the comments. I got to make sure everything's OK.

01:17:13.060 --> 01:17:16.460
I got to make sure nobody's saying anything bad about me. I got to make sure nobody's saying anything bad about David

01:17:16.460 --> 01:17:20.380
or Sammy or anyone because everyone here is so important and amazing.

01:17:20.380 --> 01:17:24.620
And so it's like panicky. I think this is really fascinating.

01:17:24.620 --> 01:17:27.660
And I kind of want to dive deeper into this.

01:17:27.660 --> 01:17:33.060
The podcast. I don't know if this is the place, but we can. So just like, when did it start for you?

01:17:33.060 --> 01:17:37.220
Because you started in logistics. Were you reading the comments that much in logistics?

01:17:37.220 --> 01:17:44.420
Or was it when you made the jump to writer? I'd say it started when last August.

01:17:44.420 --> 01:17:47.460
Oh. Did something happen last August?

01:17:47.460 --> 01:17:50.740
Don't know what you're talking about. I was trying to, I was trying not to say that

01:17:50.740 --> 01:17:54.580
because I didn't want anybody to obviously like use that in a context. But 100%, that's when.

01:17:54.580 --> 01:17:57.860
Interesting. That's when it started because I'll have you guys.

01:17:57.860 --> 01:18:02.020
I want to know a fun story. My first month here, there was three times where I was like,

01:18:02.020 --> 01:18:06.620
do I have a job next week? The weekend before I started was the week

01:18:06.620 --> 01:18:09.660
that someone posted all the stuff on Reddit about not

01:18:09.660 --> 01:18:15.060
being great. The next week, Linus, quote, did the hard R, quote,

01:18:15.060 --> 01:18:19.220
on WAN Show. Obviously completely joke. But I remember waking up and seeing moist criticals video

01:18:19.220 --> 01:18:22.260
that said Linus ruined his career. So I was like, what happened?

01:18:22.260 --> 01:18:27.820
It felt like a big deal at the time. Now we can laugh about it. But at the time, it was like, two weeks later, we got hacked.

01:18:28.820 --> 01:18:32.700
So like for me, my first month was like.

01:18:32.700 --> 01:18:36.540
And so I think just any big event like that, that happens. I get a little bit nervous.

01:18:36.540 --> 01:18:39.860
That's fair. It's interesting. I wonder if your reaction is better.

01:18:39.860 --> 01:18:43.500
My reaction was turning it off.

01:18:43.500 --> 01:18:48.620
I used to read more comments. And now I limit myself to about 100, 150 comments.

01:18:48.620 --> 01:18:54.020
And I will stop. And I only read LTT comments.

01:18:54.020 --> 01:18:57.100
I don't read ShortCircuit. I even go back and read comments. Really?

01:18:57.460 --> 01:19:00.620
So like Ariana's upgrade had been out for months now.

01:19:00.620 --> 01:19:05.220
I booted up last week and I refreshed. And I'm like, oh, there's 15 new comments.

01:19:05.220 --> 01:19:08.500
Does it feel good? Or is it just like a need to do it?

01:19:08.500 --> 01:19:12.620
Or is it a habit? I think it's a habit and a need.

01:19:12.620 --> 01:19:17.100
Like it's like my body needs to know. I'm going to ask this in the nicest way

01:19:17.100 --> 01:19:21.860
without trying to be condescending. Have you considered therapy?

01:19:21.860 --> 01:19:25.340
Yes. I'll have you know, yes. OK.

01:19:25.340 --> 01:19:28.940
I just want to update, make sure that we actually do get some watching time.

01:19:28.940 --> 01:19:32.540
I guess. I'm sorry, Sammy. I'm sorry. The next guest is coming soon.

01:19:32.540 --> 01:19:35.540
And everyone on the floor, I'm sorry that we're just talking about this.

01:19:35.540 --> 01:19:38.660
Let's keep going. Sammy's got some good expression.

01:19:38.660 --> 01:19:42.260
I like this one. Vine booms? Before we can even sell anything, though.

01:19:42.260 --> 01:19:46.580
We don't even have storage. I don't even. So we're going to pick up storage. Fit in the computer case.

01:19:46.580 --> 01:19:50.980
That I'm not worried about. We can always make things fit. The power slide that comes with it. That spacing makes it look a lot bigger than it had.

01:19:50.980 --> 01:19:56.420
It was pretty tight. Yeah, I remember seeing that. We're pushing the limits here on if this GPU is going to.

01:19:56.420 --> 01:19:59.940
The GPU is nasty, by the way. Because you didn't get to test that when you picked it up,

01:19:59.940 --> 01:20:03.500
right? Yeah, so it was just faith.

01:20:03.500 --> 01:20:08.220
Yep. It's a little crappy that people do that.

01:20:08.220 --> 01:20:14.260
Be like, oh, it's fine. And he knows that fan is messed up.

01:20:14.260 --> 01:20:18.660
Yeah. It kicked off a lot of dust. Yeah, that knocked you a fan was rough.

01:20:18.660 --> 01:20:22.460
To be fair, though, I've had two knocked to a GPUs. That fan has failed on every single one of them.

01:20:22.460 --> 01:20:25.860
Really? Yeah. The Wattua or Zotac? Zotac. Zotac.

01:20:25.860 --> 01:20:29.180
Sorry. Sorry. Thank you. OK, awesome.

01:20:29.180 --> 01:20:34.220
Thanks. My 1080 Ti was a Zotac. And it was supposed to be all copper,

01:20:34.220 --> 01:20:37.700
but there was clearly aluminum somewhere in it, because it was doing a galvanic erosion.

01:20:37.700 --> 01:20:41.140
Yeah. Go look there. Maybe they have that hair. Might want.

01:20:41.140 --> 01:20:46.260
I don't hate it. RAM, CPU. But I think it's just, yeah, you need to complete the look.

01:20:46.260 --> 01:20:49.860
Wasn't this one that the shot of the show is? I think it's this one. So I took the RAM out.

01:20:49.860 --> 01:20:53.700
It actually does support up to 3,200. So we could just enable XMP and hopefully.

01:20:53.700 --> 01:20:56.700
Did you ever try and push it higher than 32? No, I was too scared.

01:20:56.700 --> 01:21:00.500
This computer was on hopes and dreams with a 750-watt power supply and a 3080.

01:21:00.500 --> 01:21:05.980
Yeah, it was. Blasier asked if they can see the part where Team Duke

01:21:05.980 --> 01:21:09.020
messaged Team Old Man accidentally. Oh, yeah, sure.

01:21:09.020 --> 01:21:14.500
Let's watch that. I think that's about. I think that was a little bit before this.

01:21:14.500 --> 01:21:19.060
Check Facebook page. How would you know you never watched? Well, in terms of, I lived it, Sammy.

01:21:19.060 --> 01:21:22.060
I can still understand the timeline.

01:21:22.060 --> 01:21:26.900
I also love that face you make here. Oh, check Facebook message.

01:21:26.900 --> 01:21:31.980
Check Facebook message. Which one, which one, which one? That's actually one of the things that Linus has complimented me on before.

01:21:31.980 --> 01:21:35.700
Your face? I like to bug you because you make really good facial expressions.

01:21:35.700 --> 01:21:38.940
I'm like, all right, sure. It's true. They're bite on the Corsair case.

01:21:38.940 --> 01:21:41.980
I thought the case was going to be hard to sell. You must have taken.

01:21:41.980 --> 01:21:46.140
Them selling a processor has me pretty concerned. OK, so it's before this. Oh, yeah, it's right here.

01:21:46.140 --> 01:21:50.700
Post-sards can't be real. I can reply to multiple people at the same time.

01:21:50.700 --> 01:21:54.260
They're bite on the Corsair case. Someone have a timestamp?

01:21:54.260 --> 01:21:57.540
If you're in chat, give us a timestamp. The idea was a timestamp.

01:21:57.540 --> 01:22:01.260
Lodge is reading the comments. Again, classic.

01:22:01.260 --> 01:22:05.620
This was on a YouTube video, too. No, I'm just joking. Eli, I put the iPad there so you can read.

01:22:05.620 --> 01:22:10.020
It's off. I thought it was just a show. I texted you the password.

01:22:10.020 --> 01:22:13.300
Don't show the password. Deal. OK. One, two, three, four.

01:22:13.300 --> 01:22:16.860
Oh, here. OK, I found it. I found it. OK, I'll just close this then.

01:22:17.860 --> 01:22:21.220
Yeah, I just want to say Luke is coming in three minutes. It's just the CPU.

01:22:21.220 --> 01:22:28.060
So it's like we need to find the rest of the platform. Let's go. I found a motherboard for 120, which would put us at 185.

01:22:28.060 --> 01:22:31.260
So we'd be $10 for RAM and power supply.

01:22:31.260 --> 01:22:35.540
Like maybe if I talk them down. Which we could have done by going to that tech shop

01:22:35.540 --> 01:22:39.220
by one minutes ago. Messaging to talk them down. It's worth it's worth it.

01:22:39.220 --> 01:22:42.740
We don't have any four minutes ago. Should have given it away from everything. Not looking back at it now.

01:22:42.740 --> 01:22:46.740
This is probably not noticing that. Yeah. Hit on our listing.

01:22:46.780 --> 01:22:49.780
Which one? Which one? On the CPU. Already?

01:22:49.780 --> 01:22:55.420
They're friends with 18 people, including your wife, on Facebook.

01:22:55.420 --> 01:22:58.860
Wait. It's Luke. Duke Morrow. Yeah. It's Luke.

01:22:58.860 --> 01:23:02.900
What a piece of shit. God damn it. I couldn't believe that we did that. Nice try, Luke. Yeah, I got him.

01:23:02.900 --> 01:23:07.060
Yeah, they really. Oh. OK. I messaged the CPU guy.

01:23:07.060 --> 01:23:11.300
And I said, hey, I have cash and can pick up tomorrow. He just responded with nice try, Luke.

01:23:11.300 --> 01:23:14.620
Wait, but now he knows his time. My brain hurt when I first did that.

01:23:14.620 --> 01:23:19.340
I was like, who could this be? Because in my head, it couldn't have been them.

01:23:19.340 --> 01:23:24.060
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But so for a second, I was like, is someone at the company

01:23:24.060 --> 01:23:27.060
selling this and going, ha ha, no, you can't,

01:23:27.060 --> 01:23:30.500
because you guys are doing Scrapyard Wars?

01:23:30.500 --> 01:23:34.940
It doesn't show in the edit. It was probably like five minutes before we realized it was Linus.

01:23:34.940 --> 01:23:38.300
We were like, howdy.

01:23:38.300 --> 01:23:41.700
We're mutual friends. OK, what the? I hated it.

01:23:41.700 --> 01:23:46.220
Hated it. Yeah, we cut that down, but it's very funny, though.

01:23:46.220 --> 01:23:49.420
Who is John? Who is John? This guy. Wait, John.

01:23:49.420 --> 01:23:54.100
It's funny. So Linus used my account, because we couldn't change his.

01:23:54.100 --> 01:23:57.340
Right, yeah. And so my account was John of the Last Suck.

01:23:57.340 --> 01:24:00.580
And I got so many requests from random people.

01:24:00.580 --> 01:24:04.780
Oh, did you? Yeah, I can't use his. I have not accepted a single one.

01:24:04.780 --> 01:24:09.300
And I will not. Isn't that Linus' name?

01:24:09.300 --> 01:24:12.820
He saw it, unlucky. We should have wasted his time. Oh, that sucks.

01:24:12.820 --> 01:24:16.860
I thought we had a real bite. How is? I wonder if he doesn't even have it yet,

01:24:16.860 --> 01:24:20.380
and he's like pre-listing it. That would be so bold.

01:24:20.380 --> 01:24:24.940
Dude, I thought that because I was like, because this was still day one.

01:24:24.940 --> 01:24:28.420
This must have been day, no, this was still day one, because we were still sitting there,

01:24:28.420 --> 01:24:32.020
and we hadn't gone and picked up the computer yet, which was at the end of day one. You're right, because it's the first pickup.

01:24:32.020 --> 01:24:35.740
So in my head, this was probably like what, 3 PM? 3 30 PM?

01:24:35.740 --> 01:24:39.700
Something like that, because Linus was back at 5 on this day. And I'm thinking to myself, I'm like,

01:24:39.700 --> 01:24:45.020
there's no way they have this already. How on earth, because they didn't leave until noon.

01:24:45.020 --> 01:24:49.340
Later afternoon. I was like, how did they have this? So I thought he was pre-listing,

01:24:49.340 --> 01:24:53.620
because he's like, gonna go pick it up. But he's like, I know I need to sell it. So he took the exact same photo.

01:24:53.620 --> 01:24:57.020
That'd be such an interesting strategy. Because what's the worst that happens is you don't get it,

01:24:57.020 --> 01:25:00.020
and you're just like, Oh, sorry, someone else picked it up. Someone else picked it up.

01:25:00.020 --> 01:25:03.580
Oh, no, sorry, it's not working, I can't sell it. There's a lot of ways around it.

01:25:03.580 --> 01:25:07.740
It's not, you know what? When I'm in Skapper Wars, I'm gonna try it.

01:25:07.740 --> 01:25:11.540
Is that confirmation it's coming back? No. Okay, I know, I'm just teasing.

01:25:11.580 --> 01:25:18.300
The nice thing was, I think that this one was enough of a success in the sense that shooting it was fun.

01:25:18.300 --> 01:25:22.300
And it wasn't too much. Like I mentioned with Sammy at round,

01:25:22.300 --> 01:25:26.860
normally we shoot it over five days and get four videos. And this one we shot over three days and got four videos.

01:25:26.860 --> 01:25:33.380
Oh, that's the timeline for this was nuts. Yeah. So I know as a competitor, it was probably too intense.

01:25:33.380 --> 01:25:37.340
There was several moments, I think on both teams, where we were just like, there's no way we're doing this.

01:25:37.340 --> 01:25:40.620
There's no shot where either gonna have a computer here. Yep.

01:25:40.620 --> 01:25:43.620
Because it was just too close, I think.

01:25:43.620 --> 01:25:47.740
And then you both had banging computers. They were like, they were pretty sweet.

01:25:47.740 --> 01:25:51.300
I would have been happy with either system. And they're being given away.

01:25:51.300 --> 01:25:56.380
So if you guys check out the John giveaway, you can actually enter to win those systems.

01:25:56.380 --> 01:26:00.500
You're probably not allowed. There's probably small tax of like employees and friends of employees are not allowed to win.

01:26:00.500 --> 01:26:04.780
I'll read it and confirm and then I'll enter. And they quit so I can win.

01:26:04.780 --> 01:26:07.980
I'll just take a vacation. Right, that's how that works?

01:26:07.980 --> 01:26:12.620
Extended leave. Extended leave for 12 hours. 12 hours while I pick it up and then...

01:26:12.620 --> 01:26:16.340
All right, it's 12.30 and our next guest is here.

01:26:16.340 --> 01:26:19.340
Woo! Wow, all right. Who did it?

01:26:19.340 --> 01:26:22.700
Who do you think the next guest is? It ain't me. Oh, it's Duke! It's Duke!

01:26:24.700 --> 01:26:28.380
It's actually kicking around somewhere. Because they don't want it back.

01:26:28.380 --> 01:26:31.500
So we have like just this rolled up beard,

01:26:31.500 --> 01:26:34.620
but no glue and no skilled technicians to apply it.

01:26:34.620 --> 01:26:38.180
Yeah, that probably wouldn't go very well. That'd be weird.

01:26:38.180 --> 01:26:42.580
They were pretty instrumental to that. How comfortable was it?

01:26:42.580 --> 01:26:48.740
Or how uncomfortable was it? It was actually like, and I told both the people that worked on me

01:26:48.740 --> 01:26:53.900
because I had a different person each day. I was very surprised at how fine it was.

01:26:53.900 --> 01:26:57.180
The only thing that was annoying was eating.

01:26:57.180 --> 01:26:58.940
Because there's just so much air.

01:27:00.700 --> 01:27:05.380
But like, I had prosthetics on my nose.

01:27:05.380 --> 01:27:10.620
My whole nose was covered. I had eye bags. I had, they call them 11s, where like...

01:27:10.620 --> 01:27:14.580
Oh yeah, that gives like the wrinkles here? Yeah, yeah. I had all of that.

01:27:14.580 --> 01:27:18.020
And once it was on, I basically didn't even feel it. Oh, even every once in a while,

01:27:18.020 --> 01:27:21.860
go to like scratch my nose and go like, oh yeah. Like it was very, very well.

01:27:21.860 --> 01:27:27.340
You would like move your face and it would feel like everything's pulling? Huh, maybe that's the difference between like the pros

01:27:27.340 --> 01:27:31.180
and how we would do it, where it would just be so much glue that it's like one solid piece

01:27:31.180 --> 01:27:36.060
just yanking around your face. I was even worried, because like the very few times

01:27:36.060 --> 01:27:39.580
that I've had to be in some form of makeup in the past, I found it very frustrating.

01:27:39.580 --> 01:27:42.700
Cause I don't like things touching or on my face at all.

01:27:42.700 --> 01:27:45.220
Yeah. Like ever. It drives me insane.

01:27:46.340 --> 01:27:50.540
And it was fine. So like, I think that's, it's probably a skill issue.

01:27:50.540 --> 01:27:53.700
Yeah. Cause they were like clearly really good.

01:27:53.700 --> 01:27:58.020
And probably the product too, it probably has like as good a hold, but it breathes better or something

01:27:58.020 --> 01:28:01.700
and like a bit of stretch. I don't know. Yeah, cause she was describing,

01:28:03.540 --> 01:28:07.820
one of them used to work for the person who made the like nose.

01:28:07.820 --> 01:28:11.060
Oh yeah. And she was talking about how great

01:28:11.060 --> 01:28:15.020
that company is and yada yada. So it's probably a combination of all the parts.

01:28:15.020 --> 01:28:18.700
Yeah. Some of all parts. So I had mentioned earlier in the stream

01:28:18.700 --> 01:28:23.980
that originally we wanted to do like have more time with the prep of the makeup.

01:28:23.980 --> 01:28:28.420
And so go like, you guys would have gone in to get molds and we could have done something more custom.

01:28:28.420 --> 01:28:32.060
If you could have done any disguise in the world,

01:28:32.060 --> 01:28:34.340
what do you think you would have done? Oh dude.

01:28:38.540 --> 01:28:41.540
Hmm. That's a tough one.

01:28:41.540 --> 01:28:47.380
I don't know. My problem is that a lot of what gives me a way is my voice.

01:28:48.220 --> 01:28:51.420
The laugh for sure. Because like the disguise itself,

01:28:51.420 --> 01:28:54.740
like when people would see it, when I wasn't wearing the glasses in the hat,

01:28:54.740 --> 01:28:58.580
it like didn't fool that many people. But once I put the glasses on the hat on,

01:28:58.580 --> 01:29:02.820
I think I'm genuinely pretty hard to recognize once that work has been done.

01:29:02.820 --> 01:29:06.900
But then I start talking and you can almost immediately see them go like,

01:29:06.900 --> 01:29:10.460
what? Well, you don't have like a tough biker guy voice.

01:29:10.460 --> 01:29:15.580
No. You have a nice like soothing voice, calm voice.

01:29:15.580 --> 01:29:19.140
And so it's weird to have that come out of, yeah, what should be like,

01:29:19.140 --> 01:29:24.300
oh, hey, get on my bike. Smoking two packs a day for 20 years.

01:29:24.300 --> 01:29:27.540
Yeah. Only two, that sounds great.

01:29:29.260 --> 01:29:32.940
Yeah, I think you did a great job with this.

01:29:32.980 --> 01:29:36.900
I think you guys had more,

01:29:36.900 --> 01:29:41.060
we can't talk about episode fours. We can't talk about the results or anything.

01:29:41.060 --> 01:29:45.580
But how do you feel about the fact that Linus went over budget

01:29:45.580 --> 01:29:49.660
and did a little cash money management exercise?

01:29:49.660 --> 01:29:51.460
So I didn't know about this.

01:29:54.500 --> 01:29:57.940
In my opinion, that is straight up just not in the rules.

01:29:57.940 --> 01:29:58.780
Yeah.

01:30:02.980 --> 01:30:06.620
That's right. Yeah. Because that allows you to do things mechanically

01:30:06.620 --> 01:30:10.780
that if this was real, like my idea on,

01:30:10.780 --> 01:30:16.500
because the scrappy noise is my idea. My idea with scrappy noise is it was supposed to mimic

01:30:16.500 --> 01:30:20.420
in a really short timeframe what Linus and I used to do when we were younger,

01:30:20.420 --> 01:30:24.900
which is like when I built a computer, I'm not just buying parts in the store, right?

01:30:24.900 --> 01:30:28.620
I'm trying to wheel and deal. I'm trying to do stuff like Linus fairly famously

01:30:28.620 --> 01:30:32.380
used to flip GPUs almost every generation.

01:30:32.940 --> 01:30:36.300
Because he would follow the news cycle, know when the next GPUs were coming out.

01:30:36.300 --> 01:30:41.380
And he would sell. Sell his, wait a couple of weeks, buy the next previous generation.

01:30:41.380 --> 01:30:45.020
Is that insider training? A little bit, maybe, yeah.

01:30:46.540 --> 01:30:50.100
And I used to do this stuff too. But when that's happening, when you're a kid

01:30:50.100 --> 01:30:55.020
and you make your money from whatever, I mean, the first computer that I bought

01:30:55.020 --> 01:30:59.940
was mostly from paper routes, refing hockey.

01:30:59.940 --> 01:31:05.060
This isn't when I can hold a normal job yet. I have a very fixed budget to the dollar.

01:31:05.060 --> 01:31:09.540
I think that's fair. I mean, I can remember the time when it was not uncommon

01:31:09.540 --> 01:31:12.820
to see single digits in my bank account.

01:31:12.820 --> 01:31:16.300
Yeah, oh yeah. And so I think when you argue it that way,

01:31:16.300 --> 01:31:19.500
I think that's a fair point. I think why I allowed it,

01:31:19.500 --> 01:31:22.540
because I was aware that they were doing it.

01:31:22.540 --> 01:31:27.860
And I felt bad after because Elijah asked you if you were allowed to do it and you said no.

01:31:27.860 --> 01:31:32.460
And so when those things are side by side, it feels kind of crappy.

01:31:32.460 --> 01:31:36.020
But why I allowed it is I knew that it wasn't very much

01:31:36.020 --> 01:31:40.820
going over and the job of money, if it was unlocked, would have been enough

01:31:40.820 --> 01:31:45.100
to cover the difference. And then I also am a fiend for content.

01:31:45.100 --> 01:31:50.260
And I like clever rule breaking. And I'm not necessarily the best game master

01:31:50.260 --> 01:31:54.620
because I like cheating. I'm a big fan of people breaking the rules

01:31:54.620 --> 01:31:58.820
and coming up with clever things. As long as it's justified and genuinely good content,

01:31:59.660 --> 01:32:02.700
it's not fun when someone is just like being too competitive

01:32:02.700 --> 01:32:08.180
and like they're gonna be really weird. We made decisions that I didn't think were

01:32:08.180 --> 01:32:12.460
the most strategically sound because I thought it would be more interesting.

01:32:12.460 --> 01:32:13.660
So like I get it.

01:32:17.060 --> 01:32:21.860
That is a rule that we have not allowed to pass in the past.

01:32:21.860 --> 01:32:25.620
There was even one season that was largely based around selling things.

01:32:26.460 --> 01:32:30.540
And even then, you weren't allowed to go over and then sell later.

01:32:31.740 --> 01:32:35.500
So like it had been aligned previously.

01:32:35.500 --> 01:32:40.580
So that's why I thought it would be. It'll be aligned in the future again unless we specifically allow it for a certain reason.

01:32:40.580 --> 01:32:45.180
I'm just in my headcanon that we just want because he got DQ'd, but that's fine.

01:32:48.180 --> 01:32:53.740
I feel like both teams got a little bit of, sort of a little bit of not rule bending,

01:32:53.740 --> 01:32:57.100
but just favor, because I'm not interested

01:32:57.100 --> 01:33:02.100
when I watch reality TV. But my whole idea on this is I'm talking like

01:33:03.820 --> 01:33:06.100
all the rule bending that we did is okay.

01:33:07.220 --> 01:33:12.300
And the rule bending that he did made us win on the whatever the second day or something.

01:33:12.300 --> 01:33:18.780
Yeah, immediate disqualification. The second he goes over lights, cameras, we win.

01:33:18.780 --> 01:33:21.100
We should have. I should have called the camera people right there

01:33:21.780 --> 01:33:23.620
drop the camera now.

01:33:24.780 --> 01:33:28.260
We're two days into this. We're only gonna get one and a half episodes,

01:33:28.260 --> 01:33:31.420
but you know, we're not even gonna publish it. The rules matter more than the video.

01:33:31.420 --> 01:33:35.180
So yeah. And so yeah, it's a tough one.

01:33:35.180 --> 01:33:38.220
I have to admit, and I've talked about it a little bit on the stream,

01:33:38.220 --> 01:33:43.220
the game master balance of it all, trying to keep it all going and it's everything auto,

01:33:43.220 --> 01:33:47.140
like on a level playing field so that we get to the end and it's close.

01:33:48.060 --> 01:33:52.500
Cause Scatter Wars is often effectively impossible

01:33:52.500 --> 01:33:54.580
without some form of bending.

01:33:57.020 --> 01:34:01.300
And like in previous seasons,

01:34:01.300 --> 01:34:06.140
one of the things that we've done is active negotiations. So like we would have to call each other

01:34:06.140 --> 01:34:10.740
and be like, hey, I like need to do this thing.

01:34:10.740 --> 01:34:15.740
And then you can like let them kind of go with things

01:34:15.820 --> 01:34:20.220
knowing that you might need a lifeline in the future. And if you allow something,

01:34:20.220 --> 01:34:24.660
they'll allow. And usually I think we've been pretty good about stuff.

01:34:24.660 --> 01:34:29.740
That's a fair point. Yeah, I had sort of stepped in the middle as the arbiter,

01:34:29.740 --> 01:34:33.060
but maybe next time it would be better to allow that.

01:34:33.060 --> 01:34:37.220
Cause I enjoyed that in the past when it's like, when it's like, yeah, you're making a deal with him

01:34:37.220 --> 01:34:41.900
and he can be as much of an asshole or as nice as he wants, but it will probably come back to bite him later.

01:34:41.900 --> 01:34:44.900
And that's always a fun dynamic. Yeah. At the same time though,

01:34:44.900 --> 01:34:48.580
having the change of having a game master,

01:34:48.580 --> 01:34:52.700
I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. It's just different. Yeah.

01:34:52.700 --> 01:34:56.940
And I think part of the challenge with this one was we did it in three days.

01:34:56.940 --> 01:35:00.980
And normally it's a full week of shooting and it's like we have so much more time to do stuff.

01:35:00.980 --> 01:35:04.020
And so a lot of the little things that were changed

01:35:04.020 --> 01:35:07.900
were in favor of getting it done. And we got it done.

01:35:07.900 --> 01:35:11.260
And those systems are so good. Yeah. Yeah.

01:35:12.140 --> 01:35:16.860
They're, they're, it's very impressive. I didn't think we were gonna be able to get quite a few

01:35:16.860 --> 01:35:21.380
of the things that we got for the price that we got. It's interesting seeing like the,

01:35:21.380 --> 01:35:26.020
there's a bit of an inflection point when the, when AMD got like good at making processors again,

01:35:26.020 --> 01:35:31.940
you can see the beginning of that, the price drop of that era is like super hard

01:35:31.940 --> 01:35:35.340
because those are actually pretty old now, but those are really good platforms.

01:35:35.340 --> 01:35:39.100
Oh. So it's like. Yeah, I feel like, like we can talk about

01:35:39.100 --> 01:35:42.580
what's in your system. 1700 and that's in these videos.

01:35:42.580 --> 01:35:46.220
And like you can still game on that. Yeah.

01:35:46.220 --> 01:35:49.560
Like it's like, yeah. Okay. You're rendering video, probably not your best choice,

01:35:49.560 --> 01:35:53.500
but for 60 FPS gaming, like you can play cyberpunk.

01:35:53.500 --> 01:35:56.540
Which is insane. Yeah. Like just that's crazy.

01:35:56.540 --> 01:35:59.740
The fact that you can go out and get, how much should we end up getting that for?

01:35:59.740 --> 01:36:03.940
170 for that whole system. Like. That's, that's Canadian.

01:36:03.940 --> 01:36:07.300
So it's like 130, 140 US dollars. Insane.

01:36:07.300 --> 01:36:12.540
Yeah. If you, if you went with like, yeah, we went with an absolute God tier GPU,

01:36:12.540 --> 01:36:16.220
but if you didn't, you could have had a whole gaming system

01:36:16.220 --> 01:36:20.260
that's really good, able to play all current games respectively

01:36:20.260 --> 01:36:24.700
for like under 500 bucks. One thing I found really interesting is,

01:36:24.700 --> 01:36:31.380
I'm currently on the market looking for an upgrade to my GPU. I have a 3080 and it's so interesting

01:36:31.380 --> 01:36:35.860
how hit or miss finding deals really is. Like you, you got one for 500 Canadian.

01:36:35.860 --> 01:36:39.260
That's like 400 and a little bit US.

01:36:39.260 --> 01:36:42.620
They are still being sold for a thousand dollars.

01:36:42.620 --> 01:36:45.780
And it's like, how, how does someone who doesn't know what they're doing

01:36:45.780 --> 01:36:48.820
get into the market and figure out what a good deal is?

01:36:48.820 --> 01:36:50.500
That's a tough one. Yeah.

01:36:52.340 --> 01:36:57.340
We ended up soaring and I'm very happy with how we did.

01:36:57.340 --> 01:37:00.580
But at the beginning I was quite sick

01:37:00.580 --> 01:37:04.300
and my energy was pretty low. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.

01:37:04.300 --> 01:37:09.220
So I was like kind of dying the first day. Like after Linus was reviewing some of the footage

01:37:09.220 --> 01:37:11.700
and he's like, you didn't go out on the first day. I was like, I know.

01:37:13.940 --> 01:37:17.700
Being like high energy for the shots was enough.

01:37:17.700 --> 01:37:23.460
But how was I going to say? Yeah, so that plus the timeframe,

01:37:23.460 --> 01:37:26.580
plus trying to get really good deals leads to some weird things.

01:37:26.580 --> 01:37:32.260
Like I don't know if it's shown up in the footage yet, but we had one of the fans kind of ticked on our GPU.

01:37:32.260 --> 01:37:36.460
Like if we had more time, that's something that you can resolve actually.

01:37:36.460 --> 01:37:39.940
Cause this person was like, oh yeah, I will screw you when we reached out about it.

01:37:39.940 --> 01:37:42.940
But you can bring something I've legitimately done

01:37:42.940 --> 01:37:45.980
is like meet up at like find a place that has power plugs

01:37:45.980 --> 01:37:49.740
that you know about Starbucks, McDonald's or something like that, bring a system

01:37:49.740 --> 01:37:55.740
and just be the weird guy bringing a computer to McDonald's and actually install it and like make sure that it's fine.

01:37:55.740 --> 01:37:59.060
Because spending like 500 bucks. Oh, blind.

01:37:59.060 --> 01:38:02.420
Site unseen. You have no idea if it even functions

01:38:02.420 --> 01:38:06.860
when you bring it home is scary. So I understand why there's that barrier there.

01:38:06.860 --> 01:38:12.780
And for things that like normally sell for a grand right now, getting it for literally half that price

01:38:12.780 --> 01:38:16.580
might leave you wondering why is it half that price?

01:38:16.580 --> 01:38:20.980
So it's worth looking into. How thorough are you in your regular every day

01:38:20.980 --> 01:38:24.780
testing the stuff that you're buying on Facebook? Quite actually. Really?

01:38:24.780 --> 01:38:30.140
Yeah. Good for you. I'm a, I hope I'm lucky this time.

01:38:30.980 --> 01:38:34.940
Like the something I even should have done during this crappy words, but didn't think about it.

01:38:34.940 --> 01:38:38.020
And this was, I wasn't feeling very sick at this point in time.

01:38:38.020 --> 01:38:42.740
So this is just a blender, but there's a, there's a keyboard that we got.

01:38:42.740 --> 01:38:46.340
Oh yeah. Yeah. The one that ended up being 30% broken or whatever. Yeah.

01:38:46.340 --> 01:38:49.380
I should have just brought a laptop. That's not in this episode.

01:38:51.340 --> 01:38:55.660
But like it's, it's, I should, yeah. I should just brought a laptop and plugged it in

01:38:55.660 --> 01:38:58.980
and then yeah, that's right. There's stuff that is easy to test

01:38:59.020 --> 01:39:03.780
or like visually inspect. But I've, what I've, I found is my balance is

01:39:03.780 --> 01:39:08.620
there's some stuff that I won't buy used because it's too hard to test.

01:39:08.620 --> 01:39:12.540
Like I'm not going to do use TVs. I've kind of drawn a line. I'll do open box.

01:39:12.540 --> 01:39:19.260
So cause like burn in and stuff? Burn in. What I found is it's easy to cover issues

01:39:19.260 --> 01:39:22.860
with the right demo footage. So I've seen like, like I got a,

01:39:22.860 --> 01:39:25.900
I traded a lens for a tablet or something.

01:39:25.900 --> 01:39:29.340
And I didn't really want it, but it was a student and they were poor and I was like, whatever,

01:39:29.340 --> 01:39:33.620
I don't really need this lens. And they, they bought the, it was a Surface Pro,

01:39:33.620 --> 01:39:38.060
whatever generation. It was like a pretty fair trade. Man, you're doing it out of the kindness of your heart

01:39:38.060 --> 01:39:42.740
and they screwed you over. Yeah. And he's like, it's great.

01:39:42.740 --> 01:39:46.460
It does this, this, this. He plays video, looks great, good screen.

01:39:46.460 --> 01:39:50.260
And then I get a home, put a white screen on and there's just like a big discolored circle.

01:39:50.260 --> 01:39:53.420
And I was like, you mother lover.

01:39:54.620 --> 01:39:59.540
Did you reach out? I did. And he was like, oh, I didn't know. And I was like, uh-huh, uh-huh, impossible.

01:39:59.540 --> 01:40:05.820
And I was like, okay, whatever. And so I found that displays are hard.

01:40:05.820 --> 01:40:09.540
And like maybe I should have been like handed here. I'm going to go to a white page

01:40:09.540 --> 01:40:12.540
and see what this level is or gray or whatever.

01:40:12.540 --> 01:40:16.780
But TVs, yeah, it's like, it's too easy to hide. Like there's obviously things they can't hide,

01:40:16.780 --> 01:40:19.980
you know, a crack in the glass or you know, that LCD is all messed up.

01:40:19.980 --> 01:40:23.220
But I feel like it's too hard to know.

01:40:23.220 --> 01:40:29.060
Even computer components, if it's not, if it's so expensive that I can't do,

01:40:29.060 --> 01:40:34.980
that it wouldn't be okay losing like the $30 or whatever. I'm scared because I can't do a full test on a GPU.

01:40:34.980 --> 01:40:38.980
Like I can't sit there for 30 minutes and like stress test it until the point of failure.

01:40:38.980 --> 01:40:43.260
Power supply, no way I would do used on like a high end power supply.

01:40:43.260 --> 01:40:48.020
I would do like my cheap home theater one. I would get like a decent CSONIC or whatever.

01:40:48.020 --> 01:40:53.740
There's some, and I understand you're probably concerned because of the potential risk of other parts in the system.

01:40:53.740 --> 01:40:59.660
But there's something like, if I remember correctly, I don't know this. I think CSONIC warranties transfer ownership.

01:40:59.660 --> 01:41:02.900
So like if you are currently the person who owns the power supply, it's under warranty

01:41:02.900 --> 01:41:06.300
even if you bought it used. I don't know that, go look it up.

01:41:06.300 --> 01:41:10.220
So we had them sponsor, yeah. It's 12 years extended on a bunch of stuff

01:41:10.220 --> 01:41:15.180
and it's transferable. But I think you still need like original proof of purchase.

01:41:15.180 --> 01:41:18.460
Okay. So you'd have to have communicated and gotten the receipts.

01:41:18.460 --> 01:41:23.140
I think, I'm not 100% sure. But it is 12 years transferable. Shout out to sponsors, CSONIC, not on this.

01:41:23.260 --> 01:41:28.940
That's actually insane. I'm not trying to, this isn't, this stream isn't sponsored by them, so like who cares?

01:41:28.940 --> 01:41:32.300
But that is actually crazy. And if you know that going into it,

01:41:32.300 --> 01:41:36.900
ask for the proof of purchase. These days, proof of purchase is very easy to retain

01:41:36.900 --> 01:41:41.820
because it's often in people's emails. Yeah, that's fair. So just get them to like look it up

01:41:41.820 --> 01:41:47.020
and they probably still have it and then get that sent over and you might have 10 years left of warranty

01:41:47.020 --> 01:41:51.060
on the power supply. That being said, as I just said, there could be a risk to components down the line

01:41:51.060 --> 01:41:55.820
beyond the power supply. Would you care? So I think part of the reason why I'm so bad at the testing

01:41:55.820 --> 01:42:00.140
is I'm such a people pleaser that I like no conflict. I like just like getting through things.

01:42:00.140 --> 01:42:02.380
You're a direct person, hey? Yeah.

01:42:05.140 --> 01:42:10.100
Yeah, basically. Cause I don't feel like it's sliding necessarily.

01:42:10.100 --> 01:42:12.860
I don't like haggling so much in certain scenarios.

01:42:14.980 --> 01:42:20.660
This season definitely had the least haggling from me. I think some of that was the energy issues from being sick.

01:42:21.500 --> 01:42:24.940
But I don't, I'm not a huge,

01:42:24.940 --> 01:42:29.100
if I think the price is pretty good, I usually just want to take it.

01:42:29.100 --> 01:42:33.180
I don't want to mess with them too much. Cause like, if I think like, oh, this is quite fair,

01:42:33.180 --> 01:42:39.260
then it's like whatever. I'm doing pretty okay.

01:42:39.260 --> 01:42:42.340
So I don't want to like, oh, I ain't gonna be five blocks tall.

01:42:43.340 --> 01:42:48.620
Like I'm not really into that. But if I feel like they're trying to pull the wool

01:42:48.620 --> 01:42:52.580
over my eyes by hiding some defect or something.

01:42:52.580 --> 01:42:55.660
It's like, well, no dude, like come on.

01:42:55.660 --> 01:42:59.460
So like I've bought storage, like I bought a bunch of hard drives.

01:42:59.460 --> 01:43:05.020
Whoa, that's risky. Yeah. But I brought a computer and plugged them all in

01:43:05.020 --> 01:43:08.060
and ran diagnostics on every single drive. Good for you.

01:43:08.060 --> 01:43:13.140
How long did that take? A bit, to be honest. But I told the guy I was gonna do it before I showed up.

01:43:13.140 --> 01:43:18.060
Cause like I didn't want to be like, hey, I just happened to show up with my computer. So I was like, is there a spot I can plunk this down?

01:43:18.060 --> 01:43:21.620
Can I plug it in? Do you have a monitor for me? Can I test all the drives? Yeah.

01:43:21.620 --> 01:43:26.060
And genuinely as someone who, as someone, as myself,

01:43:26.060 --> 01:43:31.180
I consider myself a scrupulous seller. Like I, if I sold you something that broke,

01:43:31.180 --> 01:43:35.740
I would actually refund you. I way prefer when people test something on the spot

01:43:35.740 --> 01:43:39.580
than just like take it and go. Cause I'm like, I think it worked when I tested it,

01:43:39.580 --> 01:43:45.820
but like I would way rather just like no for sure with you here and like not have to now be like,

01:43:45.820 --> 01:43:50.540
it was working and maybe you're trying to scam me. That's part of the reason why I even do it

01:43:50.540 --> 01:43:54.100
is because I'm almost letting them off as well.

01:43:54.100 --> 01:43:58.260
Cause like if I test it myself and I think it's good

01:43:58.260 --> 01:44:01.260
and it's a hard drive and then I drive it home

01:44:01.260 --> 01:44:04.660
and then now it doesn't work. Maybe it's, I didn't store it properly

01:44:04.660 --> 01:44:08.740
while I was driving or something. Like now it's on me because I decided it was good.

01:44:08.740 --> 01:44:11.940
So I like being very sure and then never going back to this.

01:44:11.940 --> 01:44:15.380
I think that's fair. And I think like that's probably the way that this kind of interaction should be.

01:44:15.580 --> 01:44:18.580
It's sort of, there's a big thick gray line now

01:44:18.580 --> 01:44:22.780
because of Facebook making it a non-anonymous thing

01:44:22.780 --> 01:44:27.820
where like there is some accountability whereas before it was like, as soon as it's in your hands, that's your problem.

01:44:27.820 --> 01:44:31.180
And some people still treat it that way. I don't, I think that like,

01:44:31.180 --> 01:44:34.780
if I sold you something that's broken, you have the right to reach out to me and I should make it right

01:44:34.780 --> 01:44:39.500
because that's like the social contract. But I like, you know what, I think I'm gonna test stuff more

01:44:39.500 --> 01:44:43.220
because I'm realizing as a seller, I like it when people test

01:44:43.220 --> 01:44:50.140
and it's not actually that imposing. It's also to me, it's like, if they're like, no,

01:44:50.140 --> 01:44:55.020
then it's like, maybe I just dodged the bullet anyways. I've definitely done it

01:44:55.020 --> 01:44:59.380
where I have no intention of testing it, but I say that I will. And I gauge that reaction to no.

01:44:59.380 --> 01:45:03.060
They're like, yeah, of course. Then it's like, it's probably working.

01:45:03.060 --> 01:45:08.460
I'll just pick it up anyways. And they're like, well, no, it's not set up.

01:45:08.460 --> 01:45:12.020
Well, we can set it up. Yeah, exactly. It shouldn't actually be that hard.

01:45:12.020 --> 01:45:15.060
I guess we should get back to this video. Please, whoa. But you know what?

01:45:15.060 --> 01:45:19.180
I have two questions I should wanna throw to Luke. Dan F. asked,

01:45:20.660 --> 01:45:23.740
where am I reading? You thought about now even using a case for this

01:45:23.740 --> 01:45:28.300
and screen components into desk. What other ideas were on the table that didn't make it into the video?

01:45:28.300 --> 01:45:34.420
And what would you rate this? Oh, sorry, from Roe Drosenberg.

01:45:34.420 --> 01:45:37.540
What do you rank this for, like all the scrappy awards?

01:45:37.540 --> 01:45:43.060
Where would you rank it? I'm gonna, a lot of people think this is the best one ever.

01:45:43.060 --> 01:45:46.420
And I totally understand why. I think it's going to be functionally impossible

01:45:46.420 --> 01:45:50.340
for anything to dethrone season four in my memory.

01:45:50.340 --> 01:45:54.340
Is that the LA one? No, that was up here with Rod and Bob.

01:45:54.340 --> 01:45:58.060
Oh, yeah. I made that computer that was literally on fire. Yeah, that was a good one.

01:45:59.300 --> 01:46:02.380
We went to a scrapyard in Scrapyard Wars

01:46:02.380 --> 01:46:06.020
and built a computer using like automotive parts and lit it on fire.

01:46:06.020 --> 01:46:10.300
This is nothing against, this season was amazing.

01:46:10.300 --> 01:46:14.500
I don't think anything's ever gonna beat that. It's like one of my favorite computers I've ever made.

01:46:14.500 --> 01:46:17.300
And it was for Scrapyard Wars, so that's gonna be tough.

01:46:18.300 --> 01:46:23.300
But yeah, this was probably second to only that.

01:46:24.780 --> 01:46:28.700
This was very, very, you did a great job, especially for someone that it was your first time

01:46:28.700 --> 01:46:34.300
doing a Scrapyard Wars. Well, I had shot the last one.

01:46:34.300 --> 01:46:37.340
Yeah, but you hadn't ran it. Yeah, I've never ran it. And like, that is some experience

01:46:37.340 --> 01:46:40.860
that I'm sure that helped a lot, but running a Scrapyard Wars is like weird.

01:46:40.900 --> 01:46:46.740
And like coming up with the rules and stuff is hard, making it interesting, but workable,

01:46:46.740 --> 01:46:50.140
because you have to try to predict what we're gonna be able to do in three days. And that's actually really,

01:46:50.140 --> 01:46:54.780
you don't know what the market's gonna be like. Like the only piece of feedback I think I would have

01:46:54.780 --> 01:46:58.380
is that I think the budget was too high. But I understand why you picked it at that rate,

01:46:58.380 --> 01:47:01.540
because you didn't expect us to get so many things

01:47:01.540 --> 01:47:05.180
for free and stuff. And we have such a short timeframe.

01:47:05.180 --> 01:47:09.300
And like, I... Yeah, originally it was gonna be 500 Canadian

01:47:09.300 --> 01:47:12.300
just for the computer, and then 200 for setup,

01:47:12.300 --> 01:47:15.900
and then 100 on Java for whatever you want. But originally it was also gonna be,

01:47:15.900 --> 01:47:19.780
you were locked into buying a specific thing on Java with that money, but it was too restrictive.

01:47:19.780 --> 01:47:24.260
It's like, it's way better that we allowed it to be free. But at the last minute, I called it audible

01:47:24.260 --> 01:47:29.700
and just loosened up the budget. And then it's like, all of a sudden, instead of having $200 for your setup,

01:47:29.700 --> 01:47:33.220
you have 700 for everything. And that made it that the systems went up

01:47:33.220 --> 01:47:36.860
and tiered so much. And that's what I think was a bit of a challenge

01:47:36.860 --> 01:47:40.860
with the benchmark levels as well. We can't talk too much about that because that's the next video.

01:47:40.860 --> 01:47:43.980
But everything was set for a $500 computer,

01:47:43.980 --> 01:47:49.660
not an $800 setup. But another part of the consideration was,

01:47:49.660 --> 01:47:52.900
we knew we wanted to put a certain amount on Java

01:47:52.900 --> 01:47:57.220
because they were the sponsor. And I didn't want that to affect things too much.

01:47:57.220 --> 01:48:01.140
I didn't want to be the game breaker. It really didn't feel like it did.

01:48:01.140 --> 01:48:05.940
Like the pricing on Java, this is not, again, this I don't think this stream is sponsored by Java.

01:48:05.940 --> 01:48:10.140
The pricing on Java was solid. Like there was actually quite a few different things

01:48:10.140 --> 01:48:16.900
that made a lot of sense for us to get on Java. Well, I think your monitor has arrived

01:48:16.900 --> 01:48:21.180
at this point in the series. Like the monitor you guys got, it was a great deal,

01:48:21.180 --> 01:48:26.620
better than anything that you could get locally. Yeah, this is clearly show up in the video already,

01:48:26.620 --> 01:48:32.300
but the GPU that both teams thought to get was just a really good price.

01:48:32.300 --> 01:48:35.460
There was a lot of, and there was other things on there, I don't remember all of them,

01:48:35.460 --> 01:48:39.220
other things on there that came up as ideas for things that we could get that I don't think

01:48:39.220 --> 01:48:43.580
ended up in the video. I think at one point you considered getting the whole system on Java.

01:48:43.580 --> 01:48:47.500
Yep. Yeah, just getting a pre-built. Yeah, because the idea was actually

01:48:47.500 --> 01:48:51.220
to take the spare cache that we had and just inject all of it into Java

01:48:51.220 --> 01:48:54.820
instead of buying it off Craigslist. That was one of the concepts that we had

01:48:54.820 --> 01:48:59.300
and it ended up not being worth it, but the pricing on that system was actually really aggressive.

01:48:59.300 --> 01:49:02.620
The problem was that we were paying for Windows, we were paying for assembly,

01:49:02.620 --> 01:49:07.380
we were paying for all these other things. But the part pricing, once you priced the build out

01:49:07.380 --> 01:49:10.420
and separated everything, the pricing of all the parts included

01:49:10.420 --> 01:49:12.820
was really aggressive. Yeah.

01:49:13.820 --> 01:49:17.540
I don't know. Were we doing, was there another question there

01:49:17.540 --> 01:49:20.660
or something? No, those are only two questions I picked out for you.

01:49:20.660 --> 01:49:24.020
I just wanted to know if you saw us six more minutes until it's one o'clock. Yeah, 30.

01:49:25.020 --> 01:49:28.220
You like to say he'll come back a little later. It's a solid one.

01:49:28.220 --> 01:49:33.220
Is it ending at one or two? I scheduled it for one,

01:49:33.220 --> 01:49:37.860
but we can go a little longer. It's up to you. I don't know why it's not solid wood.

01:49:37.860 --> 01:49:41.100
Oh, I saw that one. Those are MDF desks. You know what, at this point,

01:49:41.100 --> 01:49:45.460
I think we might just have to go with it though. Yeah, he's like, his mouth is like.

01:49:45.460 --> 01:49:49.060
Yeah, yeah. That's what I didn't even think about that. That is okay.

01:49:49.060 --> 01:49:53.060
I mean, we might as well. If we don't want it, we can find out. Those chairs are gross. So I need to go get that.

01:49:53.060 --> 01:49:57.780
It's cool that there is free chairs and desks. And I think desks, I'm more likely to pick up a free desk,

01:49:57.780 --> 01:50:02.980
but something about chairs is really intimate. Chair and chair, it's like buying a used toilet seat.

01:50:02.980 --> 01:50:07.660
But I guess you wear, you wear pants, but I don't know, it's weird.

01:50:07.660 --> 01:50:12.340
Same with, you know what? I don't really like buying used as controllers.

01:50:12.340 --> 01:50:16.620
They're kind of gross. I agree with that completely. Like I've cleaned them up, you know, you open it up.

01:50:16.620 --> 01:50:21.540
It's super possible to disinfect it. And on retro stuff, that's the only option there is.

01:50:21.540 --> 01:50:25.860
But like, sometimes I get a lot of controllers and it's disgusting.

01:50:25.860 --> 01:50:29.740
And I don't get grossed out easily. I have a high threshold of gross

01:50:29.740 --> 01:50:34.780
and it pushes me to the edge. The chair problem, in my opinion, is the armrest.

01:50:34.780 --> 01:50:39.740
That's a fair point. If they have fabric armrests, and this is a chair someone's been using for years,

01:50:39.740 --> 01:50:45.780
it's like, ugh, there might literally be like biological organisms in the armrests.

01:50:45.780 --> 01:50:49.260
Like I don't want my chair to be alive. Yeah, a sea monkey colony.

01:50:49.260 --> 01:50:54.220
My goodness. And controllers, yeah, because especially,

01:50:54.220 --> 01:50:58.020
usually they're two plastic pieces, like the face and the back,

01:50:58.020 --> 01:51:02.180
and there's components inside and they're pressed together. The groove? Yeah.

01:51:02.180 --> 01:51:05.540
Disgusting. Yeah, and like it's funny. It's rough.

01:51:05.540 --> 01:51:08.580
Cause like sometimes you can look at it, not really notice it,

01:51:08.580 --> 01:51:13.060
but as soon as you tune your eyes to see it, it'll just be like a solid brown thing

01:51:13.060 --> 01:51:18.540
that like fills out what the gap is. And it's like, just so nasty.

01:51:18.540 --> 01:51:21.700
Ha! Places gonna know my voice though,

01:51:21.700 --> 01:51:25.460
cause I've definitely. Do you want me to do it? Do you want me to do it? Bloop, uh, Duke?

01:51:25.460 --> 01:51:28.100
So the, that's the classic.

01:51:28.940 --> 01:51:31.100
The Duke. The Duke.

01:51:32.100 --> 01:51:35.740
I think that's, that's gotta be one of my top five moments of the scrapyard ones. The worst part here,

01:51:35.740 --> 01:51:40.060
I don't know if this got covered in the, in the video, but my caller ID says Luke.

01:51:40.060 --> 01:51:42.220
Yeah. So they're just like.

01:51:43.220 --> 01:51:48.380
What? I think we live in an era where if someone,

01:51:48.380 --> 01:51:51.460
caller ID said Luke, and on the phone they said they were Duke,

01:51:51.460 --> 01:51:54.860
I would just be like, that is their right to choose that name. Sure, yeah.

01:51:54.860 --> 01:51:57.860
I would be like, okay. But I also said Luke first,

01:51:59.300 --> 01:52:04.540
which makes it, cause like I agree, but now I also said it and then corrected to,

01:52:04.540 --> 01:52:08.020
and the name's almost exactly the same. So like it's.

01:52:08.020 --> 01:52:11.740
Do you know if your caller ID says your last name to you? It definitely does. Okay.

01:52:11.740 --> 01:52:15.620
So they could look you up pretty easy. Yeah. You didn't get,

01:52:15.620 --> 01:52:18.740
it's like the tech shop. I did not get recognized in this moment. Yeah.

01:52:18.740 --> 01:52:22.460
And even the tech shop that you did end up going to, you didn't get anything that good. No.

01:52:22.460 --> 01:52:25.300
But you got like some stuff, you got the extra power supply. I don't think we used.

01:52:25.900 --> 01:52:29.580
You had a mouse, but it wasn't, didn't end up getting used. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:52:29.580 --> 01:52:32.940
Don't spoil anything. That's in part three, dude. How's it? Well, it doesn't make you sure.

01:52:32.940 --> 01:52:36.580
It doesn't make you sure. It was nice to have those things.

01:52:36.580 --> 01:52:39.820
Yeah. But like, especially as it comes down to the wire,

01:52:39.820 --> 01:52:43.220
knowing that like, you don't have to go and get other things.

01:52:43.220 --> 01:52:46.580
But yeah, there was nothing there where there was,

01:52:46.580 --> 01:52:51.220
there has definitely been scrapped at wars where, I think the LA one in particular,

01:52:51.220 --> 01:52:55.980
you and Linus go to a tech shop and get so much free stuff. And you, I think you even do the like,

01:52:55.980 --> 01:52:59.140
the motion of, you know, you wouldn't give this to us if,

01:52:59.140 --> 01:53:04.260
or like, you're not giving it to us because we're influencers. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no way.

01:53:04.260 --> 01:53:07.260
But it's like, yeah, okay, sure.

01:53:07.260 --> 01:53:11.300
Maybe statute of limitations on this one is passed. I definitely agree.

01:53:11.300 --> 01:53:14.820
Yeah, I remember it, there's the like. Yeah.

01:53:14.820 --> 01:53:18.460
You would totally do this for anybody, right? Totally. Yeah. Yeah.

01:53:18.460 --> 01:53:21.480
Say that to the camera, please. Sign this paper.

01:53:22.480 --> 01:53:26.200
Yeah. So rule bending is part of the scapula, right?

01:53:29.200 --> 01:53:32.560
Okay, awesome. Thanks. Sorry for, sorry for being difficult here.

01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:37.880
Yeah, she was so nice. She was super nice. That whole company was fantastic.

01:53:37.880 --> 01:53:41.120
Because that's the shop. Shout out to, I don't even know if we include their name.

01:53:41.120 --> 01:53:44.600
How are the listings going? I might have a buyer for. Right.

01:53:44.600 --> 01:53:47.880
Nice. Oh, we're almost at my shot of the show.

01:53:47.880 --> 01:53:50.760
There's a shot of you in the car. It worked.

01:53:51.000 --> 01:53:53.840
You're doing the makeup. The old one. I don't know.

01:53:55.040 --> 01:53:59.040
Cause that's literally my favorite shot of this whole thing. No one probably cares at all.

01:53:59.040 --> 01:54:02.920
Do you ever have that where like, there's like a little detail where you're like, this is the best thing I've ever done.

01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:07.480
Why didn't you do it? But the best thing ever. And then no one, no one will even realize.

01:54:07.480 --> 01:54:12.160
I think it might be in part three. They never, we never dealt with AMD

01:54:12.160 --> 01:54:14.040
when we built the systems. Unless they're.

01:54:15.680 --> 01:54:19.620
Oh, I saw the flow plane navigation. I thought it was in the video.

01:54:19.620 --> 01:54:23.280
I was like, what? This is so weird.

01:54:24.960 --> 01:54:26.640
Sorry. Why'd we do that?

01:54:32.320 --> 01:54:34.160
I can, I can stay a little bit longer.

01:54:38.160 --> 01:54:41.440
That was so funny. And then we went inside and he handed me the.

01:54:41.440 --> 01:54:44.280
Maybe it wasn't the last one. It doesn't.

01:54:46.120 --> 01:54:49.840
But this was. Yeah, they, they recognize you pretty quick, right at this one.

01:54:50.520 --> 01:54:55.520
So it was like, it wasn't immediately. We went into the shipping container

01:54:55.520 --> 01:54:59.200
and then I think I was doing pretty good for a while,

01:54:59.200 --> 01:55:04.000
pretty good for a while, pretty good for a while. And then he looks at me and he goes like, look away.

01:55:04.000 --> 01:55:06.360
But it wasn't a full double take. It was like a.

01:55:08.000 --> 01:55:13.320
And then you see him just like almost, almost like he leaned in, but probably by like millimeters.

01:55:13.320 --> 01:55:17.840
But you can tell there's like, like he's rolling perception in, in Baldur's Gate or something.

01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:21.700
Like he's like something's weird. And I'm trying to figure out what it is.

01:55:21.700 --> 01:55:24.980
And then there's this like light of recognition that happens.

01:55:24.980 --> 01:55:29.060
And I was like, oh no. And then the next step was going inside

01:55:29.060 --> 01:55:32.420
and him handing me the screwdriver. So it was, it was, it was.

01:55:34.060 --> 01:55:41.460
It was after a pretty considerable amount of stuff had happened, but probably at about the like one third mark

01:55:41.460 --> 01:55:46.260
is what I'm assuming of the meeting over. I love that about humans that were so perceptive

01:55:46.260 --> 01:55:49.900
of like little changes in that person. Because you notice it right away.

01:55:49.900 --> 01:55:53.640
It's just like, and it probably wasn't like a, huh? No, no, it was minor.

01:55:53.640 --> 01:55:57.480
Yeah. And like, we just feel it. Like there's, there's something about it.

01:55:57.480 --> 01:56:02.120
There's like conversational and movement beats where you like, you get used to how a person talks

01:56:02.120 --> 01:56:05.520
and moves and stuff like that. And then you'll notice something out of rhythm. Yeah.

01:56:05.520 --> 01:56:09.360
And it's like, okay, that means that they probably reacted to something in some way.

01:56:09.360 --> 01:56:12.360
And in this case, the reaction was staring at my face.

01:56:12.360 --> 01:56:15.360
So it was like, it's probably this stuff that's going on.

01:56:15.360 --> 01:56:19.460
Yeah, it's fair. You've established the pattern of, you know, the normal behavior and then something steps out of line.

01:56:19.460 --> 01:56:25.100
And it's incredible that like, it all it takes is 10 minutes to establish a pattern of, of understanding what that is

01:56:25.100 --> 01:56:29.700
normal for that person. Cause yeah, someone's staring at you. Some people just kind of look at you right in the eyes.

01:56:29.700 --> 01:56:33.180
And you're like, okay, yeah, I guess this is what this person does. And you're like,

01:56:33.180 --> 01:56:36.200
I'm being perceived. Yeah. I don't like, I don't exist.

01:56:37.540 --> 01:56:42.500
Yeah. Wait, just a quick aside. Did I ever tell you, I went home.

01:56:42.500 --> 01:56:47.340
I think it was the second to last day or something.

01:56:47.340 --> 01:56:51.520
I don't remember what, but I went home with the, the tattoo still on.

01:56:51.520 --> 01:56:54.400
Oh, I don't think you ever told me about how about that went.

01:56:55.440 --> 01:57:00.440
My like strata council manager came to my door and I forgot.

01:57:00.800 --> 01:57:04.080
So I answered the door and had an extended probably like

01:57:04.080 --> 01:57:08.320
15 minute conversation with him about some stuff that we've been trying to figure out.

01:57:10.360 --> 01:57:13.360
I never noticed the like thing that I noticed

01:57:13.360 --> 01:57:17.420
with the other guy at all. And that night as I went to go to bed,

01:57:17.420 --> 01:57:23.180
I saw my tattoos in the mirror and was like, oh, so I sent him a message and was like,

01:57:23.180 --> 01:57:26.580
yo, so I didn't just randomly do this.

01:57:26.580 --> 01:57:33.220
Oh, cause he knows you from before. Yeah. So I was like, I didn't just get a large amount of face tattoos overnight.

01:57:34.220 --> 01:57:37.860
And he was like, oh, I didn't even like notice. Both my sons have a bunch of tattoos

01:57:37.860 --> 01:57:41.260
and it didn't even phase me. I was like, wow. I wonder if that's true or if he's just being polite.

01:57:41.260 --> 01:57:48.080
Yeah. Cause I can see it being either. There is some people that like genuinely aren't noticing that.

01:57:48.080 --> 01:57:52.720
Like they, they, they see life. Everyone sees different things about different people.

01:57:52.720 --> 01:57:57.480
And it's the same with like someone has a face and you'll notice one thing about it at a time.

01:57:57.480 --> 01:58:01.800
And like the longer you look at the face, the more things you'll notice. But some people like kind of never progress

01:58:01.800 --> 01:58:05.120
beyond item one or two. And he might just be one of those people

01:58:05.120 --> 01:58:09.640
that doesn't notice beyond, you know, eyes and hair.

01:58:09.640 --> 01:58:12.520
Rhett from Rhett and Link calls it a wife head.

01:58:13.320 --> 01:58:16.440
What does that mean? I don't know little minutia things.

01:58:16.440 --> 01:58:20.600
Like I'm not going to know if she changed her hair. I'm not going to, I just, I recognize.

01:58:20.600 --> 01:58:23.960
Wife. This is wife. Yeah. Yeah. It's funny.

01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:27.400
It's funny. I'm a big a Good Mythical Morning fan and I didn't know he had said that. Nice. Yeah.

01:58:27.400 --> 01:58:31.480
I don't watch it all the time, but I've seen that clip and it's very good. I used to watch them a lot.

01:58:31.480 --> 01:58:36.040
It's just, you know. Get older, you know. Ebs and flows and content consumption.

01:58:36.040 --> 01:58:39.640
That's always how it is for me. What's, what are you watching these days?

01:58:39.640 --> 01:58:42.280
Oh man. Am I watching these days?

01:58:44.040 --> 01:58:51.400
LTT. I just can't stop. Yeah. I definitely watch all of the Linus Tech Tips YouTube videos.

01:58:51.400 --> 01:58:55.520
Let me bring up my, my YouTubes and see what's on here.

01:58:57.400 --> 01:59:01.360
Are you a video essay guy or are you a short form? Yes. Okay.

01:59:01.360 --> 01:59:03.040
Dear God. Yeah.

01:59:04.600 --> 01:59:08.320
I don't know. The USA's too. I have a quick question where you're looking that up

01:59:08.320 --> 01:59:12.760
from Rod Rosenberg. The other people in your personal life see the tattoo

01:59:12.780 --> 01:59:15.900
and how do they react? Yeah.

01:59:15.900 --> 01:59:18.900
Emma, my, my girlfriend saw it and liked it too much.

01:59:18.900 --> 01:59:22.620
That was a, that was concerning.

01:59:22.620 --> 01:59:25.900
Do you have any tattoos as is? No. Okay.

01:59:25.900 --> 01:59:29.940
I've thought about getting tattoos in the past, but my dad gave me this, this rule that I,

01:59:29.940 --> 01:59:32.940
or this idea of a Rosa rule until I became an adult

01:59:32.940 --> 01:59:37.300
and then it, it's now my own rule. But it's, if I, if I think that I would want a tattoo

01:59:37.300 --> 01:59:41.260
that I would want to keep, he was like, get it in like henna

01:59:41.280 --> 01:59:46.920
and keep reapplying it for like a year. And if the effort of reapplying it is worth it,

01:59:46.920 --> 01:59:50.640
and if you still want it permanently at the end of the year, go for it.

01:59:53.000 --> 01:59:58.840
I understand the logic of that. I think that the, it's, that's more of a deterrent tool

01:59:58.840 --> 02:00:03.600
than a test as to if you really want it because getting it applied,

02:00:03.600 --> 02:00:08.600
that's a lot of time and a lot of work. And it's like, I don't even want to get the tattoo done.

02:00:08.600 --> 02:00:12.660
I just want to have the tattoo. I've also never felt very strongly about having one.

02:00:12.660 --> 02:00:18.260
There was one that I wanted to get, which was the, the like septum dragon logo

02:00:18.260 --> 02:00:23.260
from Elder Scrolls and I am since happy that I did not.

02:00:23.300 --> 02:00:30.340
Yeah. Yeah, that's fair. I think that a good rule is you should wait one year

02:00:30.340 --> 02:00:35.540
from the time that you decided you want a tattoo and if you still want it, then you should get it.

02:00:35.540 --> 02:00:39.900
I think that's a fair rule, but I think have no apply it is one step too far

02:00:39.900 --> 02:00:43.240
for me personally. But I think that you probably shouldn't,

02:00:43.240 --> 02:00:46.760
same week that you think of something, you shouldn't get it that week. Yeah, I do agree.

02:00:46.760 --> 02:00:50.240
My Emma again has on her, on her foot

02:00:50.240 --> 02:00:53.720
in her late grandfather's writing supersonic day

02:00:53.720 --> 02:00:57.120
because whenever he would give her notes or whatever,

02:00:57.120 --> 02:01:00.560
he would always sign it with have a supersonic day. Oh, that's cute.

02:01:00.560 --> 02:01:04.640
So in his writing and in a place that like people aren't going to see all the time and stuff like that.

02:01:04.640 --> 02:01:08.880
I think that's really cool. I've always liked that one, but yeah.

02:01:08.900 --> 02:01:12.620
I'm a big fan of yet personal tattoos. It can be a fandom thing.

02:01:12.620 --> 02:01:16.380
Like you can be like something you love or it can be notes or people.

02:01:16.380 --> 02:01:21.220
I find human faces are always really risky. Oh yeah, oh yeah.

02:01:21.220 --> 02:01:25.100
Even names and stuff is risky. When it's family, it's not as bad.

02:01:25.100 --> 02:01:30.900
If it's like, you know, you're deceased grandpa, it's like, yeah, unless something horrific comes out

02:01:30.900 --> 02:01:37.140
that it's probably fine. I thought about getting my deceased bird Tequito

02:01:38.140 --> 02:01:43.280
he used to sit on my shoulder all the time. So I thought about getting his feet,

02:01:43.280 --> 02:01:48.520
but they just looked like weird wise. Yeah. So it looks like if you see it and don't know the context,

02:01:48.520 --> 02:01:51.520
it looks like I have like an emo stitch tattoo.

02:01:51.520 --> 02:01:54.720
Oh, because it's just too like wise.

02:01:54.720 --> 02:01:58.320
Yeah, that's fair. So I was like, I'll remember him in different ways.

02:01:58.320 --> 02:02:01.520
What's the, is that the tattoo you've been closest to getting?

02:02:01.520 --> 02:02:05.300
Probably. Okay. Because it wasn't like, the original idea

02:02:05.320 --> 02:02:10.560
was the septum logo and then I eventually decided like, yeah, it should never be brand related in my opinion.

02:02:10.560 --> 02:02:14.800
Sure. And then there was that one and I went to the point

02:02:14.800 --> 02:02:18.300
of like, I didn't get henna, but I just drew it on myself.

02:02:18.300 --> 02:02:21.540
Oh yeah. And was like, nah, it doesn't really work.

02:02:21.540 --> 02:02:26.440
Yeah, I wonder if like the idea more than the reality. Yeah, cause it's like, you could get really detailed

02:02:26.440 --> 02:02:30.720
like footprints where it's like, you can kind of see a little bit of detail in the foot and it might be more clear.

02:02:30.720 --> 02:02:35.160
But I think it would just, yeah, it would look strange at a distance and so. Bird feet without a bird attached to it

02:02:35.180 --> 02:02:40.380
are kind of weird. Yeah. Yeah. Do they only have three toes or two toes?

02:02:40.380 --> 02:02:44.320
Budgies have three. Three. Well, they have like a, a book on the back.

02:02:44.320 --> 02:02:48.360
Yeah, it's like, not really worth it.

02:02:48.360 --> 02:02:52.700
Get birds now. Yeah. Okay. Would you suggest having birds?

02:02:55.640 --> 02:02:56.760
Yes and no.

02:02:58.760 --> 02:03:02.360
They're like, they're weird, they're like that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:03:02.360 --> 02:03:04.760
So again, in tattoo form. That would be weird.

02:03:05.520 --> 02:03:10.360
So birds are a lot more work than people think and they're very expensive.

02:03:10.360 --> 02:03:13.800
Oh. They are extremely cheap upfront costs.

02:03:13.800 --> 02:03:16.920
Yeah, cause it's like, what, 50 to 70 bucks for a bird? Super cheap.

02:03:16.920 --> 02:03:23.960
And then the vet bills will destroy you because birds like my budgies are 30 grams each.

02:03:23.960 --> 02:03:28.880
And while humans are most, we're not even talking about scavengers, while humans are mostly made of water,

02:03:28.880 --> 02:03:34.000
yeah, birds are mostly made of air. So any pollutants in the air

02:03:34.920 --> 02:03:38.360
will just kill them or make them sick super fast.

02:03:38.360 --> 02:03:41.680
They are also prey animals, budgies are.

02:03:41.680 --> 02:03:46.840
So they will try to hide their sickness. Oh, instead of being sick.

02:03:46.840 --> 02:03:50.920
It's not obvious when they're sick and then the vet bills are really brutal.

02:03:50.920 --> 02:03:56.000
Also, because they die so easily and you can't like have traditional house cleaners

02:03:56.000 --> 02:04:00.600
or cook with Teflon or any of this other type of stuff, it's really hard to just like leave them

02:04:00.600 --> 02:04:04.000
at a friend's house while you go away for a while. So you have to leave them at the vet.

02:04:04.040 --> 02:04:11.280
So again, expenses ramp really quickly. So it's surprisingly very expensive.

02:04:11.280 --> 02:04:16.000
They're quite intelligent though, right? Yeah, so they're very fun to like have around.

02:04:16.000 --> 02:04:19.320
But then that's another thing, I would stick to very small birds,

02:04:19.320 --> 02:04:22.600
even though they're way more fragile. My reason for this is personally,

02:04:22.600 --> 02:04:26.840
I'm not okay with having a flighted animal that isn't allowed to fly.

02:04:26.840 --> 02:04:32.080
So I'm gonna let them out of the cage as much as possible. But in that case, they're gonna fly around and poop.

02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:38.040
So if you have a big bird, then it's big, slimy, when it's a budgie,

02:04:38.040 --> 02:04:41.160
there are little dots that solidify almost immediately

02:04:41.160 --> 02:04:44.680
and are extremely easy to clean. Vacuum or whatever. Yeah, no problem.

02:04:45.680 --> 02:04:49.120
Really, really, really easy to clean, really, really easy to get off of things, et cetera.

02:04:49.120 --> 02:04:51.320
And then you see others that are just like...

02:04:52.600 --> 02:04:57.000
Yeah, because some of those ones in like the Parrot family, like they're so intelligent and that fascinates me,

02:04:57.000 --> 02:04:59.800
like the fact that they have some semblance

02:05:00.000 --> 02:05:03.440
of self-awareness and like language understanding

02:05:03.440 --> 02:05:07.320
blows my mind. I can communicate with my birds. That's so cool.

02:05:07.320 --> 02:05:13.680
But it almost makes me not want them as a pet because I feel like I'm unable to give them the attention

02:05:13.680 --> 02:05:18.400
and the time they deserve. And it's the same reason I don't have a dog. It's like I would want to make sure

02:05:18.400 --> 02:05:23.280
that that dog had a friend all the time. And I can't imagine just like leaving my dog at home

02:05:23.280 --> 02:05:28.200
for eight hours when it's sad and depressed because I'm not there. The animal that I want the most right now is a dog.

02:05:28.280 --> 02:05:33.120
I will never get a dog as long as I live in an apartment. Personally, I grew up with dogs

02:05:33.120 --> 02:05:36.480
and I'm not gonna want a tiny little one.

02:05:36.480 --> 02:05:41.000
I'm probably gonna want one that I can wrestle with to a certain degree. And if that's the case, it needs a yard

02:05:41.000 --> 02:05:44.640
if I'm ever gonna go to work ever. Yeah, I have the same hesitation.

02:05:44.640 --> 02:05:48.360
I'd way rather have a big dog, but a small dog is so much easier

02:05:48.360 --> 02:05:52.040
because even like you get home and it's like you're tired. But I'm not judging you guys. No, no, no, no.

02:05:52.040 --> 02:05:58.200
Everyone has their different lines. But like I get home and I wanna not spend an hour

02:05:58.200 --> 02:06:02.760
walking a dog, but it's if you have a big dog, you need to take them for long walks.

02:06:02.760 --> 02:06:05.760
Or else they're gonna get sick and sad and depressed.

02:06:05.760 --> 02:06:09.040
And it's like, no, I don't wanna do that to an animal. Yeah.

02:06:09.040 --> 02:06:12.560
So there's a lot of those problems that come with birds. I'm very happy with my birds.

02:06:12.560 --> 02:06:16.120
They're great. I just wanna make sure that people don't go into it

02:06:16.120 --> 02:06:20.800
being like, oh, it's small and it doesn't cost very much. It's probably really easy. Well, and they're always like next to the hamster cages.

02:06:20.800 --> 02:06:24.920
So I think people without doing research would assume like, oh, the hamster bird

02:06:24.920 --> 02:06:28.080
about the same level of difficulty. Yeah. It does not.

02:06:28.080 --> 02:06:32.800
Yeah, not so much. All right, it's 111. So I just wanna make sure I became Luke

02:06:32.800 --> 02:06:36.160
has anything else to do. I'm still good. Make a wish, everybody. 111, this is my wish.

02:06:36.160 --> 02:06:38.400
Eli's here for the last stretch of the stream.

02:06:39.400 --> 02:06:43.080
Yeah, I'm sorry. Hopefully people aren't too upset that we didn't talk too much about scrapper wars.

02:06:43.080 --> 02:06:46.560
I'm a people person in the sense that I find the characters

02:06:46.560 --> 02:06:51.680
behind the story is so interesting. And so I think in a sense by talking about, you know,

02:06:51.760 --> 02:06:56.320
things that aren't directly really just scrapper wars, you've gotten more insight

02:06:56.320 --> 02:06:59.640
into the characters of the video than you would have otherwise.

02:06:59.640 --> 02:07:03.720
Yeah. Yeah, come on. Come over here. No, no, you're not interrupting.

02:07:03.720 --> 02:07:07.480
Join us. I think they've given up on watching scrapper wars. We've made it.

02:07:07.480 --> 02:07:12.280
I can mute it and just play to the background. I broke these and then Dan messaged me.

02:07:12.280 --> 02:07:15.280
What was the worst thing about being on my team?

02:07:17.080 --> 02:07:20.600
Answer immediately. The haircut. Darn it.

02:07:20.600 --> 02:07:24.680
I feel like that's almost a dodge, but I'll give it to you. That was a good response.

02:07:24.680 --> 02:07:30.240
There you go. Hey, like I'm perfect height here. There we go. Yeah, I feel like I'm glad we came up

02:07:30.240 --> 02:07:35.040
with the compromise of only shaving the sides. I'm a little bit sad we didn't get the full head shave

02:07:35.040 --> 02:07:38.400
for the content. I was willing to when we had first talked about it.

02:07:38.400 --> 02:07:43.080
I was like, I will shave my head for content. I am also very happy though

02:07:43.080 --> 02:07:46.920
that we did only go as far as we are. I feel like you have a good head.

02:07:46.920 --> 02:07:50.160
You would have. A headphone dent that you could ramp a skateboard off of.

02:07:50.160 --> 02:07:54.680
It's so bad. Let's try it right now. No. Where's the tech deck?

02:07:54.680 --> 02:07:58.360
It's pretty brutal. So I like going bald would,

02:07:58.360 --> 02:08:02.240
I would never hear the end of it. Be like, oh, no wonder he wears a helmet. He's got a dent in his head.

02:08:02.240 --> 02:08:05.240
He has both have good hairlines. I hate you so much. Have I ever shown you mine?

02:08:05.240 --> 02:08:08.320
No. You see it?

02:08:08.320 --> 02:08:11.640
Oh, what is that? It's a dent in my head. Have you guys seen it?

02:08:11.640 --> 02:08:16.120
It's really bad. Can we change the webcam? I gotta get it on the right angle.

02:08:16.120 --> 02:08:18.640
Oh yeah, you can kind of see it. It's right here. What is that from?

02:08:19.800 --> 02:08:23.680
Knuckle sandwich. So you were talking about stories of the people behind the thing, whatever.

02:08:23.680 --> 02:08:29.640
So I'll go into this. When I was, my mom was at the doctor's office for her.

02:08:32.440 --> 02:08:36.420
She was sitting up on the doctor thing, whatever, getting checked out.

02:08:36.420 --> 02:08:41.240
I was sitting on a chair in the room and I had grabbed between my legs.

02:08:41.240 --> 02:08:45.000
I had grabbed the chair. Like, you know that the plastic chairs

02:08:45.000 --> 02:08:48.240
that like lip down before the end. So I had grabbed the end of that

02:08:48.240 --> 02:08:51.400
and was rocking back and forth and rocked too far.

02:08:51.400 --> 02:08:54.560
I just went whack, smacked my head on the floor.

02:08:54.560 --> 02:08:59.280
It split. I have a dent. The doctor just went whoop and dealt with me right then

02:08:59.280 --> 02:09:03.360
because why not? So I ended up being fine. Of Canadian emergency room time.

02:09:03.360 --> 02:09:06.680
Yeah, but I always find it fascinating because like, yeah, it's not that obvious.

02:09:06.680 --> 02:09:10.720
But when I frown and in certain lighting, this lighting not so much because it's filling the room,

02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:13.800
but if it's in top lighting, you can almost see it shadow slightly.

02:09:13.800 --> 02:09:18.240
No one ever comments on it. I never noticed things like people don't comment

02:09:18.240 --> 02:09:21.480
on facial features much anymore. Oh, they super do.

02:09:21.480 --> 02:09:25.480
It depends on what they are, I think. What are you expecting? What the hell is wrong with your face?

02:09:25.480 --> 02:09:30.400
What in the crap in it? The face cream scooped to that. Holy, what are you expecting people to say?

02:09:30.400 --> 02:09:35.960
Yeah, I have a big bump on the top of my head from probably around the same age as that, like five, six.

02:09:35.960 --> 02:09:40.200
And I was, you know, mom's unloading the minivan and you're kind of just like hovering around

02:09:40.200 --> 02:09:43.640
and then slam right on the top of the head and was bleeding.

02:09:44.160 --> 02:09:47.600
So I always wonder how intelligent I would be. Me too.

02:09:47.600 --> 02:09:51.000
Yeah, yeah. I actually saw a great hypothetical situation

02:09:51.000 --> 02:09:54.560
speaking of staying on track. Hypothetical time.

02:09:55.880 --> 02:10:00.440
You get, I think $5,000, let's say $10,000

02:10:00.440 --> 02:10:04.040
for every IQ point you drop. So you hit a button, you lose one IQ.

02:10:04.040 --> 02:10:11.080
None, dude. I would get zero. I would buy them. I can't go lower, like without functioning as a human.

02:10:11.080 --> 02:10:16.200
I don't think I can go lower. So if they, I would do it

02:10:16.200 --> 02:10:22.920
if they could erase my memory of having done it. But knowing that you are dumber than you were

02:10:22.920 --> 02:10:25.960
would be unbearable. Wasn't it like one IQ point per memory?

02:10:25.960 --> 02:10:30.600
So as long as they remove that IQ point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure.

02:10:30.600 --> 02:10:34.720
Sure, sure, sure. See what I mean? I can't remove it. What the heck?

02:10:36.640 --> 02:10:40.080
I'm a big fan of hypothetical situation Reddit.

02:10:40.080 --> 02:10:45.320
It's like my favorite. Although most of them are really bad. It'll be like, would you face a minor inconvenience

02:10:45.320 --> 02:10:49.680
for unlimited money? Other like, would you stay in this cabin for a month

02:10:49.680 --> 02:10:53.160
for a million dollars? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah?

02:10:53.160 --> 02:10:57.000
Yeah, I saw one the other day. I'm planning to and spending money on it.

02:10:57.000 --> 02:11:00.200
Yeah, exactly. What do you mean? Yeah, would you spend a week not talking to anyone

02:11:00.200 --> 02:11:03.840
for $100,000, you're getting paid? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:11:03.840 --> 02:11:06.920
I get to sit home and play video games and get paid for it.

02:11:06.920 --> 02:11:11.120
Amazing. I'll finally beat Final Fantasy 6.

02:11:12.120 --> 02:11:15.520
16 is coming out on PC. Yeah.

02:11:15.520 --> 02:11:18.560
Highly recommend. Challenge me to start it. Beat it before I do.

02:11:18.560 --> 02:11:22.280
Yeah. Are you playing an actual Super Nintendo version?

02:11:22.280 --> 02:11:25.520
No. Oh, are you playing the Pixel remaster? Oh, yeah.

02:11:25.520 --> 02:11:28.600
Are you doing like double speed or whatever? No. Oh, good for you.

02:11:28.600 --> 02:11:31.760
That's how I had to beat it was I did that.

02:11:31.760 --> 02:11:34.840
Oh, you're at the part. I just noticed. Sorry, going back to scrapper.

02:11:34.840 --> 02:11:38.800
You're actually at the part of my old job. Like, well, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:11:38.800 --> 02:11:42.400
Okay, from here on, if he offers anything, could you just pull a screen?

02:11:42.400 --> 02:11:47.280
Then we can. I'm going to have to say. Look at the hair. We've got an old, out for man,

02:11:47.280 --> 02:11:51.080
300 block. The guy who's in the video. I think this is like an IBM think pad that was.

02:11:51.080 --> 02:11:56.200
He messaged me after. So all we need now. Technically is a keyboard, audio solution, and a chair.

02:11:56.200 --> 02:12:00.400
An audio. So like, realize. Yeah, see, it wasn't immediate. He genuinely didn't know it was you

02:12:00.400 --> 02:12:03.600
until you were in the C-can the first time.

02:12:03.600 --> 02:12:06.640
Yeah. And you had talked to us about how he did like a double take.

02:12:06.640 --> 02:12:09.760
Yeah. That was when he was like, something's off here.

02:12:09.760 --> 02:12:12.880
And him inviting you back in was also a strategy

02:12:12.880 --> 02:12:16.640
to like confirm, because he wanted to give you the LTD screwdriver. Yeah.

02:12:17.840 --> 02:12:21.280
Did he comment on how I did in receiving the LTD screwdriver?

02:12:21.280 --> 02:12:25.240
No, he didn't, he didn't mention it. Okay. Cause I tried to play it off as like, oh, this is random.

02:12:25.240 --> 02:12:28.240
It's a cool screwdriver. Yeah. Oh, it ratchets.

02:12:29.240 --> 02:12:33.280
He said one of the biggest things that was actually the hardest part to identify you was the tattoos.

02:12:33.280 --> 02:12:37.200
It wasn't even the beard or the sunglasses because like, he watches WAN Show.

02:12:37.200 --> 02:12:40.760
He's, he might even be in chat right now. Yo, what's up, David?

02:12:40.760 --> 02:12:44.960
What up, dude? He's great. But he, one of the things he said was the hardest part

02:12:44.960 --> 02:12:48.080
was the neck tattoos because you just don't have those.

02:12:48.080 --> 02:12:53.240
And they aren't something people like fake very often, I think, like obviously you can get like temporary ones

02:12:53.240 --> 02:12:59.360
and like Henna and whatever. People often do that like on the arms. But like the neck is pretty rough to like do fake tattoos.

02:12:59.360 --> 02:13:03.920
So he was like, oh, okay. Yeah, that's what, that's what made it not hard,

02:13:03.920 --> 02:13:07.120
like difficult to find out. So interesting. Here's a question I have.

02:13:07.120 --> 02:13:13.000
I've had this before scrapper wars, but it always makes me think of it. Why is there no criminals that are getting like

02:13:13.000 --> 02:13:17.140
prosthetic makeups to rob banks? Because it costs money and they can't get a job

02:13:17.140 --> 02:13:21.840
because they're probably have a record. Well, you rob one, use that money,

02:13:21.840 --> 02:13:26.440
invest in your prosthetics or even this like, you know,

02:13:26.440 --> 02:13:30.400
those like over the plus size suits, like the way they make you look heavier.

02:13:30.400 --> 02:13:35.760
Cause like if in a video at a bank, you know, it's like that person is 300 pounds.

02:13:35.760 --> 02:13:38.920
The suspect is, you know, 140. That doesn't make any sense.

02:13:38.920 --> 02:13:43.720
Like, why aren't people doing this? Maybe it's harder. It maybe it's easier to detect when that stuff is happening.

02:13:43.720 --> 02:13:47.320
I just don't think people rob banks today. Oh, they totally do. Oh, sorry.

02:13:47.320 --> 02:13:52.240
I just don't think people rob banks today. They totally do. Look, my only frame of reference for reality is TV.

02:13:52.240 --> 02:13:55.800
So. Yo, LTT bank heist.

02:13:55.800 --> 02:13:59.320
A random stat that I was told when I used to go to UVic and I don't know if this is true or not,

02:13:59.320 --> 02:14:02.800
but they said like in your orientation, when you're there on your first day,

02:14:02.800 --> 02:14:06.580
they tell you to be really careful about your bike if you have a bike because apparently more bikes

02:14:06.580 --> 02:14:10.940
are stolen at UVic every year than like the value

02:14:10.940 --> 02:14:14.540
of all the bikes stolen at UVic every year is higher than all of the money stolen from banks

02:14:14.540 --> 02:14:17.780
and all of Canada for the entire. I believe that. Whoa, that does shock me.

02:14:17.780 --> 02:14:21.900
Yeah, bikes, bike theft is an epidemic in Western Canada.

02:14:21.900 --> 02:14:27.260
Like it's, I'm sure the rest of Canada too, but. And Canadian banks quite often don't deal with cash.

02:14:27.260 --> 02:14:31.220
Yeah. Like in, compared to the States, we deal with way more digital

02:14:31.220 --> 02:14:34.620
and like through credit card and whatever. So I totally can see that.

02:14:34.620 --> 02:14:38.700
Yeah, I can't imagine, I haven't thought about it too hard, maybe I should,

02:14:38.700 --> 02:14:42.220
but I can't imagine really getting with a bank heist in Canada.

02:14:42.220 --> 02:14:45.660
My, the last bike that I had was stolen

02:14:45.660 --> 02:14:48.820
and it was stolen on my last day of school.

02:14:48.820 --> 02:14:52.580
So I was just like, well, I guess,

02:14:52.580 --> 02:14:57.300
I don't really need it anymore. So, okay. So sucks, you probably get like a hundred bucks

02:14:57.300 --> 02:15:02.500
for it or whatever. Is that scrapper at worst 10? We have to build a computer with all the money we can steal.

02:15:02.500 --> 02:15:06.620
Oh. This was part of the idea of,

02:15:06.620 --> 02:15:10.340
oh man, I don't remember the name of the series. You probably do.

02:15:10.340 --> 02:15:14.860
Thanks. The like blueberry and we harvested blueberries

02:15:14.860 --> 02:15:20.020
and sold them. Oh shoot, I do know what it is. You guys did also the mowing.

02:15:20.020 --> 02:15:23.020
Oh, mowing, yeah, yeah, yeah. The mow grass. Oh yeah.

02:15:23.020 --> 02:15:29.060
We just get a summer job and see if getting a summer job could pay for a computer. So the, we had this grand idea one point in time

02:15:29.060 --> 02:15:33.380
where Linus and I would have to actually go work for the money that we would spend in scrapper at worst,

02:15:33.380 --> 02:15:38.020
but it was like, it was just like two weeks. Yeah, it would take too much time. So we split it, actually,

02:15:38.020 --> 02:15:42.700
and that was supposed to be like the working for it part.

02:15:42.700 --> 02:15:46.660
Mow grass, mow problems, was the name of the shirt. You're not even the name.

02:15:46.660 --> 02:15:49.660
So stupid. That's good.

02:15:49.660 --> 02:15:52.900
If I saw someone show up to my house with that shirt

02:15:52.900 --> 02:15:56.100
asking to mow my yard, I'd be like, go away. I'd pay them immediately.

02:15:56.100 --> 02:15:59.820
Yeah, I'd be like, five dollars, please leave. I'd be like, what's your rate? I'll pay you double.

02:16:01.020 --> 02:16:04.980
I'm kidding. We're about nine more minutes till we're hitting the 130 mark.

02:16:04.980 --> 02:16:09.500
Is there anything you guys really want to talk about in terms of like anything between episode one and three

02:16:09.500 --> 02:16:12.860
and maybe even some little teasers for episode four?

02:16:12.860 --> 02:16:16.660
It's, episode four is right in the middle

02:16:16.660 --> 02:16:20.100
of its editing right now. It might be the best one.

02:16:20.100 --> 02:16:23.180
And I'm just being like, this one's the best one. This one's my favorite.

02:16:23.180 --> 02:16:26.380
It makes sense that it would be though. It's with what's remaining.

02:16:26.380 --> 02:16:30.380
It was the hardest one to cut down the mow. Like there's so much in there.

02:16:30.380 --> 02:16:37.780
And we, I guess, we have entirely removed the part

02:16:37.780 --> 02:16:41.420
where the teams are talking to each other while the judging is happening.

02:16:41.420 --> 02:16:45.300
Oh really? So that's just going to be, I think, a full plane, right? Yeah, there'll be a lot of full plane exclusives

02:16:45.300 --> 02:16:49.860
for this one, like three or four. Yeah, the full plane exclusives are extended cut

02:16:49.860 --> 02:16:55.060
with you, with the everyone talking. Extended cut of the judging portion.

02:16:55.060 --> 02:16:58.140
And then a week after will be the extras

02:16:58.140 --> 02:17:01.140
because we have Colin's, we have two Colin videos coming out.

02:17:01.140 --> 02:17:04.460
So, yeah. Colin videos. Is it Colin Week?

02:17:04.460 --> 02:17:08.500
No, it's a mini Colin Week. It's like Meet the Teams Colin and then his AMD video.

02:17:08.500 --> 02:17:11.620
Oh, OK. It's going to be weird having people hear him talk.

02:17:11.620 --> 02:17:16.180
I actually talked in Scrapper Wars. That is another one of my top five moments of the whole.

02:17:16.180 --> 02:17:22.220
Did it actually end up in the YouTube cut? Yeah. In part one, when Linus walks up and is like, hey, boy.

02:17:22.220 --> 02:17:25.300
So it was put in because it was a great moment.

02:17:25.300 --> 02:17:28.300
And then I called Linus.

02:17:28.300 --> 02:17:31.580
I'm like, hey, can we finally have Colin speaking a video?

02:17:31.580 --> 02:17:34.980
And he's like, it's not up to me, it's up to Colin. And I talked to Colin. He was kind of hesitant.

02:17:34.980 --> 02:17:38.020
He was like, oh, my upgrade's coming up. I kind of want to save it for that.

02:17:38.020 --> 02:17:41.820
But then, I can't remember if I showed him or not, or if just an hour later he messaged me.

02:17:41.820 --> 02:17:47.220
He was like, no, put it in. Put it in. And I was like, good. Because we were going to do a separate one for YouTube

02:17:47.220 --> 02:17:52.180
and Flow Plane. And YouTube, Flow Plane would have gotten Colin speaking. But it's top five moment of the series, for sure.

02:17:52.180 --> 02:17:57.420
If you look at the retention on YouTube, you can actually see a bump when he talks.

02:17:57.420 --> 02:18:00.700
Because for YouTube. People are clicking back and going, like, what? 100%.

02:18:00.700 --> 02:18:05.940
For YouTube, that was the first time on the LTT channel that he has spoken.

02:18:05.940 --> 02:18:09.820
So the fact that that was the first time, and his first words were, dad, there

02:18:09.820 --> 02:18:12.900
is so many levels of this is perfect.

02:18:12.900 --> 02:18:16.740
Yeah, that was a good. We couldn't have planned that one better. That was just a problem.

02:18:16.740 --> 02:18:19.860
But they are brilliant.

02:18:19.860 --> 02:18:22.900
We discussed earlier about how the other team viciously

02:18:22.900 --> 02:18:26.460
cheated by going over their budget and breaking all of the rules that

02:18:26.460 --> 02:18:31.980
exist for anything in reality. So I just wanted to say that, regardless of anything

02:18:31.980 --> 02:18:36.100
in the game, as of that point, at least headcanon-wise,

02:18:36.100 --> 02:18:40.260
we won. Yeah, nice. Very good job.

02:18:40.260 --> 02:18:43.380
I allowed. I think the leniency I allowed was I allowed you guys

02:18:43.380 --> 02:18:46.540
to switch to SSD. And then I was way more chill about tech shop stuff.

02:18:46.540 --> 02:18:50.900
You also installed Windows and drivers on their computer.

02:18:50.900 --> 02:18:54.020
It's because it was not super interesting to have them do.

02:18:54.020 --> 02:18:57.580
I mean, I did, what was it, five BIOS updates?

02:18:57.580 --> 02:19:01.060
I didn't do anything like that. I just basically hit OK.

02:19:01.060 --> 02:19:07.580
I didn't download any software. I did the Steam games for them just so it was easier for Labs.

02:19:07.580 --> 02:19:12.060
But it was more just like. Seems rigged.

02:19:12.060 --> 02:19:15.980
You'll see. You'll be surprised. We'll see how it goes.

02:19:15.980 --> 02:19:20.220
But either way, I would have been happy with either of those computers.

02:19:20.700 --> 02:19:25.820
The first season, both computers were kind of eh,

02:19:25.820 --> 02:19:29.260
but if you took like season one of Scrubber or something,

02:19:29.260 --> 02:19:33.260
both computers were kind of eh, but if you took my GPU and you put it in line as a system,

02:19:33.260 --> 02:19:37.540
you ended up with a computer that cost, I think it was like, the original budget was $300.

02:19:37.540 --> 02:19:40.700
I think you ended up with a system that was like 350

02:19:40.700 --> 02:19:44.700
or 380 or something, and it was actually really good. This season, just.

02:19:44.700 --> 02:19:49.020
That's season one, man. That's season one. The spoilers are season one years ago.

02:19:50.820 --> 02:19:55.900
Sorry to spoil it. But in this one, I don't know if they know all the parts yet

02:19:55.900 --> 02:20:01.500
or anything, but both computers are like legitimately. Yeah, I good.

02:20:01.500 --> 02:20:07.780
Yeah, I think I don't want to give spoilers. Yeah, if I was to use one as is,

02:20:07.780 --> 02:20:11.100
there's one that I would specifically want. But if there was one that I could piece apart

02:20:11.100 --> 02:20:15.780
and use parts of, it would be the other one. Yeah. And so like there's both really good things.

02:20:15.780 --> 02:20:19.100
And like the setups as well, there's a setup that I prefer,

02:20:19.100 --> 02:20:23.140
but both of those setups are solid enough. Yeah, if I went to someone's house

02:20:23.140 --> 02:20:26.460
and like this is your setup for the weekend, I'd be like, sick. Nice.

02:20:26.460 --> 02:20:33.180
This is great. And I think each one too, provided a potential future path to continue your computer.

02:20:33.180 --> 02:20:37.220
Ours was very GPU focused, meaning you could spend a certain amount of money

02:20:37.220 --> 02:20:42.180
to upgrade your platform. Whereas theirs was pretty much all around focus,

02:20:42.180 --> 02:20:46.340
definitely a better, I think like a newer CPU than ours, right?

02:20:46.340 --> 02:20:49.620
But they could have spent that money on a GPU or something, right?

02:20:49.620 --> 02:20:53.660
So like there's definitely so much that could have gone either way.

02:20:53.660 --> 02:20:58.660
I always, I'm like always surprised at the universal quality

02:20:58.660 --> 02:21:02.940
that seems to come out of Scrappered Wars final computers,

02:21:02.940 --> 02:21:06.940
which is, and the fact that that's true every single season,

02:21:06.940 --> 02:21:09.980
I think is the biggest, hopefully drive for people

02:21:09.980 --> 02:21:15.500
to actually do this themselves. One of the things that's hard about making videos about used parts

02:21:15.500 --> 02:21:18.620
is that so much of it is just right place by time.

02:21:18.620 --> 02:21:24.340
Who knows what's going to be there? I like Scrappered Wars because you don't have to like make it replicable.

02:21:24.340 --> 02:21:27.380
It just, you have to do it. Did you guys see the guy on Reddit

02:21:27.380 --> 02:21:31.380
who posted multiple parts of buying a computer

02:21:31.380 --> 02:21:34.420
in like Scrappered Wars fashion? And then at the end, he had a computer.

02:21:34.420 --> 02:21:39.460
I think his budget was a little bit more than ours. So he got kind of a better overall system than both of us.

02:21:39.460 --> 02:21:43.620
But looking at it, I was like, that's the whole point of Scrappered Wars.

02:21:43.620 --> 02:21:47.300
That's the whole point is to show you that you guys can do this.

02:21:47.300 --> 02:21:50.780
A thousand dollars can still go a long way for a computer.

02:21:50.780 --> 02:21:56.340
And you totally can get a kick ass system. Well, the bang for your buck really diminishes

02:21:56.340 --> 02:22:01.020
before the thousand dollar point. Like it's like five, 600, $700 systems.

02:22:01.020 --> 02:22:05.660
You're getting like 75, 80% as much as like the top edge system.

02:22:05.660 --> 02:22:08.620
We live in a pretty like kind of terrible era,

02:22:08.660 --> 02:22:13.220
in my opinion of electronics, where everyone feels they have to buy new.

02:22:13.220 --> 02:22:18.860
And everyone feels that they have to have the best. It's always a war between whether it's AMD and NVIDIA

02:22:18.860 --> 02:22:25.820
or Xbox and PlayStation. Like, dude, you can go get a used PS4 right now

02:22:25.820 --> 02:22:32.780
and like get into gaming for like a hundred bucks. The smartest and shittiest thing NVIDIA ever did

02:22:32.780 --> 02:22:35.820
was changing Titan to 90.

02:22:35.820 --> 02:22:40.580
Because it used to be that like Titan was kind of weird outside. Like, I'm a crazy person.

02:22:40.580 --> 02:22:44.500
I'm going to get a Titan. Whereas now it's like, I'm getting an 80, like a 4080.

02:22:44.500 --> 02:22:47.620
I didn't get a 4080. I didn't even get the top end anymore. I never thought about this.

02:22:47.620 --> 02:22:52.980
That is super true. Yeah. Because people used to relegate Titan to where it should be,

02:22:52.980 --> 02:22:57.220
which is like production stuff, basically.

02:22:57.220 --> 02:23:00.780
And only that. Yeah. And crazy gamer people that have way too much money.

02:23:00.780 --> 02:23:04.140
Yeah. But now it's like, you don't have the top end gaming card anymore.

02:23:04.140 --> 02:23:10.620
And it eats at you. 100%. I went through that spell when 30 series came out.

02:23:10.620 --> 02:23:19.260
Because that was also when like GPU prices were doing their whole garbage, I managed to buy a 3070, a 3080,

02:23:19.260 --> 02:23:22.580
a 3080 Ti, and a 3090 all within a year.

02:23:22.580 --> 02:23:25.940
Because I felt that I was like, I need the best. I need to keep going.

02:23:25.940 --> 02:23:32.060
And I knew that I was able to buy it at MSRP. And I was selling them for the price of the upgrade

02:23:32.060 --> 02:23:37.300
of the next one. So in my opinion, it was great. Because I was like, oh, I'm not spending that much.

02:23:37.300 --> 02:23:40.860
But I was playing into like just terrible consumerism practices.

02:23:40.860 --> 02:23:44.100
And you compound that ends up actually being a lot. It was horrible.

02:23:44.100 --> 02:23:49.140
And now I have a 3080 Ti. Because I just like gave my 3090 to Dan and went down.

02:23:49.140 --> 02:23:52.700
You gave your 3090? Well, we did a trade. He had a 3080. I was like, damn, dude.

02:23:52.700 --> 02:23:55.940
He had a 3080 Ti. You'd be better friends with you. He gave me that. I gave him the 3090.

02:23:55.940 --> 02:24:02.340
And he gave me like a couple hundred bucks. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Yeah, it's one of the things I love about PC gaming

02:24:02.380 --> 02:24:07.100
is when you first like boot a game and you're like trying to get, you kind of know what performance you're looking for

02:24:07.100 --> 02:24:10.220
and you're dialing in the settings, going to get all good and like making sure

02:24:10.220 --> 02:24:13.340
you're hitting, you know, 120 frames for FPS or whatever.

02:24:13.340 --> 02:24:16.340
But then I hate that I am now hyper aware

02:24:16.340 --> 02:24:19.820
of the graphical settings in that game. And I can't disconnect from that.

02:24:19.820 --> 02:24:24.020
It's one of the reasons when I want to totally turn off my brain, I'll play console games.

02:24:24.020 --> 02:24:28.100
Because it's just not a thing. It's just I take it as it is and that's it.

02:24:28.100 --> 02:24:34.220
And I just don't really care as much. But that being said, I'm playing most of my games on PC.

02:24:34.220 --> 02:24:38.300
I think going forward, actually participating in Scrapyard Wars has taught me

02:24:38.300 --> 02:24:44.100
that I need to be more open to buying used electronics. And I definitely will be more aware of that going forward.

02:24:44.100 --> 02:24:48.020
Like maybe I'll buy an Xbox used if I really want a console or something.

02:24:48.020 --> 02:24:52.580
Like it's just even things like that or a Nintendo Switch. I don't have to go get it brand new.

02:24:52.580 --> 02:24:55.660
Let's wait a couple months, man. Switch 2 is going to be coming out. I'm still not buying it.

02:24:55.660 --> 02:24:59.820
So I have taken a stance on Nintendo.

02:24:59.820 --> 02:25:03.340
I think that's a good point to end it off. We're hitting the 1.30 mark. Yeah, screw you, Nintendo.

02:25:03.340 --> 02:25:06.740
That's the whole board. Buy used if you can.

02:25:06.740 --> 02:25:10.500
Any final words? No more rants. But is there any final words for me to sign off?

02:25:10.500 --> 02:25:13.940
I'm super excited for you guys to see Scrapyard Wars 4.

02:25:13.940 --> 02:25:18.380
See episode 4. Go back and watch season 4. Go back and watch season 4 as well.

02:25:18.380 --> 02:25:23.220
And let us know if you would be interested in a combined

02:25:23.220 --> 02:25:26.740
marathon cut of season 9. We are considering that, but we're not sure

02:25:26.740 --> 02:25:30.460
if people watch we want that. But just one video that would have the entire parts,

02:25:30.460 --> 02:25:33.460
we would probably remove the intros and outros or whatever and put together.

02:25:33.460 --> 02:25:39.620
But if you are interested in that, leave that on our socials and let us know.

02:25:39.620 --> 02:25:42.740
Any final words, Luke?

02:25:42.740 --> 02:25:47.140
Duke. Bye. All right.

02:25:47.140 --> 02:25:50.060
Bye, everybody. Bye.
