Since they're working on remounting the TV, this seems actually happened in the middle
of a halo match once. It's got unplugged. The kids were playing hide and seek or something
and kicked this. And I was like, what the heck is going on? I mean, actually a while to figure it out.
It's your fault for laying 240 just across the hallway.
OK, do you want to help feed this to me? The idea is that we're going to carry this all the way back
to the mechanical room. Realistically, I could splice this and make a longer cable.
Will you be happier if we do that? The fire department won't.
That's fine. We'll just put redacted on the video.
Yeah, is that how that works? You could just commit a crime on camera,
but you just put redacted on it and then it's fine? I think so.
That's what I've done. Hey, Floatplane. Are you a cop?
You have to tell me if you're a cop, right? That's how that works.
I love that excuse.
Oh, we're waiting for it. Be cheese.
The stud finder's so good, I gave him a name. I call him Stan.
Why? It's short for Stanley.
OK, buddy. We named all of our tools back when
I worked at the painting company as well. So they were all Richard.
You know the brand Richard. So we had Little Richard.
And then we had Big Richard. And then we had Richard Bucket.
Richard Fuller Caged. They were just all named Richard.
You know the Dr. Seuss poem? Mrs. McCabe had 23 sons and she named them all Dave.
So that was basically our job site. Can you pass me Richard?
Which one? Brush Richard. No, no, the smaller one.
What a stupid series of jokes. Yeah, we were a really efficient painting company.
Blindest paint tips. Oh, there's not going to be any paint tips today, I'm afraid.
I'm doing a very bad job. What I should normally do is sand and then prime
and then two coats of paint. But I'm just going to take some paint.
I'm just going to put it on there because realistically, what are you going to notice that?
No, you're staring at the TV. Yeah, exactly. If you're watching a movie and it's so bad
that you can be distracted by a little bit of slightly off-color paint around the edge of the TV,
then you should probably watch a different movie. I'm adding a little bit of texture
because this wall was rolled before. So if you just brush, then it'll catch the light a bit
different in those spots. Whereas if you give it a little bit of texture, it helps to kind of hide it.
And he said he wasn't going to give any tips. Then you want to blend and kind of feather around the outsides
so that it's harder to spot the fresh paint. Because no matter how good of a job you do,
the paint fades over time. So the new paint, even if it's exactly the same color,
is going to look slightly different. You wouldn't need to touch up the paint if we just get the wall.
Wouldn't need to touch up the paint if I didn't have you helping all the time.
Don't even have to come back to that one, so. Okay.
Get right in my face, geez. You didn't even ruin the wall inside with me.
And I still got blamed. Elijah was there. Do you want me to pull back or?
Nope. Oh, yeah, I got it off. Oh, okay, cool. Okay, I have a new pull cable and I have HDMI.
And you guys have enough to get to the opposite side of the TV? We're not sure.
I have another longer cable in case this one's no good. All right.
But the only way to know for sure was to just run it through there because I haven't measured the length of this conduit.
And it's not directional, right? No. Oh, shoot.
Oh, thank God. It was a 50-50 shot and we got it.
You got it? Oh, I felt it. Oh yeah, it's there. I just, okay, I can't.
Okay, do you hate, I feel it. It's, I feel it, but it keeps disappearing.
I don't know where it's going. Sorry, maybe it's going back up into the conduit.
Yeah, I think so. That can happen sometimes on the toilet. You just got to make sure it...
Stop. But I don't think my fingers are long.
Do you have it though? No, my fingers aren't long enough. Well...
Okay, is it there or not? Yes, it is there. I keep checking. How about now?
It's your jerk. I was like, I don't know where it's going.
Oh man. There.
Gosh darn it Linus. There you go, buddy.
All right, cool. It's a good thing you pay me.
We're going to have to update his name on the company website. Elijah Easy Target Horner.
Did you see someone on the forum did mine with my job title as sentient OSHA violation?
That'd be funnier if it weren't true.
He almost smoked his head today on a radiator.
Did you put my hand up on him? Did you know I fell down the stairs
on New Year's Eve as well?
We were out with some other people from here
and I just was walking downstairs carrying like 12 bottles of wine.
Almost died. Like... Carrying him in your stomach?
I don't drink alcohol. Yeah, that's probably a good thing.
At least you didn't fall down a mountain. We're back on track. Now that the stick and slide is done,
go ahead and screw those in. And the screws? Yeah.
Well, I mean, you could screw them not into the holes but that would be a lot harder.
Thank you for that.
You sure you're not the father? Hey, I don't know, maybe.
Wait. Do you even know how babies are made?
No. Why would I?
These ones are really strong.
Are we gonna have to put warnings on the box? I thought you had to put warnings on magnets.
Swallowed magnets can damage internal organs. Don't eat them. Don't eat them?
That's my lunch. Elijah has informed me that these hubs
do not come with cables. No. I informed you that the two we opened
didn't have cables in them.
Are you sure you didn't miss them? I'm 100% sure. Okay, all right.
You also freshly opened that. The two I opened had been previously opened.
All right, okay. Oh, so you'll believe him? Well, I mean, he's reliable.
Mine's still young. It's funny, he calls him an old man
the same way he calls me an old man, which makes me really old.
Did we do a disclaimer on this video? I am not an electrician. This is not electrical advice.
What's up, float playing peeps? I assume you're the only ones we're gonna allow to watch this.
Glenn, it's pretty late and I'm sure you have places to go and people to see.
How properly should I do this out of 10? Janky?
Okay, how janky? Mid-tier janky or super janky?
Mid-tier janky? We'll go mid-tier janky.
Glenn, the cameraman has places to be, so we're gonna be going a little bit janky,
which means I'm not gonna do one of my pops' tricks
and cut them all to different lengths on each side.
So you have one connection here, and one connection here,
and then you wrap the whole thing. That makes it impossible for them to ever touch.
But we're not gonna go full janky, which means I'm not gonna wrap these with electrical tape.
I'm gonna solder them and use heat shrink. So, you know, that seems like a compromise, right?
Mid-tier janky. How's your familiarity with high voltage stuff?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Okay, cool. I mean, I'm very familiar.
Just usually goes through my body. I mean, hold on a second. Do I even care?
Do I have to cable manage this? Should I just run it? The theme of the video is cable manage.
Fine. This is my devious plan for Ultimo Contact.
There we go. Little something like that. What could go wrong?
I actually have crimp connectors, but it's like a thousand watt TV,
so actually that's really like four amps, 60, 40 volts.
Wow. Well, I'm committed to this now.
This is gonna sound a little weird, but next to my bathtub, there's a torch.
Okay. Can you please bring it to me?
These are really thick wires for such a wimpy soldering iron. This may not work.
Linus, you didn't just have one torch, you had two.
I know. Okay.
I've been once good. Okay.
Oh yeah, that's way better. Now we're soldering with fire.
Oh man. And I only heat shrunk some of my heat shrink.
Oh, great. It's okay, we can fix this. It's not pretty,
but it's pretty functional. Actually, you're gonna have to also be a fourth hand.
Grab the other torch. The other torch has a much smaller flame. Oh.
I put it over there. Fine, this is fine. We'll just use the big flame, it's fine. Okay.
I'm fine. It's more fun.
Okay. So basically, I'm gonna hold this
and you're gonna melt that onto there. Okay. No, no, with the small flame.
Sorry. I've never soldered before, this'll be fun.
Now heat up, no, no, heat up the metal. Oh. Yeah, heat up that, yeah.
Yeah, it's gotta get it, yeah. But lower, go down, yeah, there you go,
and then melt the solder onto it.
More. More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more.
That's good. I've never soldered before, so. Yeah, don't breathe it in.
Oh, okay. All right. Heat, heat, heat, heat, heat.
Oh yeah, the solder's bad. Oh, oh, oh, the heat shrink shrunk.
Ah, dang it. It's too hot.
Oh man, this is, this is horrible. Maybe we shouldn't even upload this to Floatplane.
High Floatplane, realistically, we will.
You guys won't tell us? No, it's a close. What, I won't.
You're just shrinking it, not finding it. Oh, I don't, okay, I don't know, you gotta tell me.
Okay, not that close. Okay, but like, highlighting it.
Really, Elijah?
I'm, I'm, I'm busting. I, I know you're busting my balls. Yeah.
Can you tell, cause your balls are busting? Yes, very. Oh crap, I stopped.
Why'd you turn it off? Cause I thought we were done. Okay, now I'm, now I'm mad.
There we go.
There you go, perfect. Is a strong word.
It's so funny.
Did I do it, dad? You did great. Okay, now let's start at the last one.
I kind of imagine this format here is like, what cavemen did when they were trying to get fire going.
Yeah, they're just like.
I mean, this is probably fine, right? Yeah, I think it'll be fine.
What are the odds that this will be a problem? All right.
Holy cow. What? It looks awesome.
Yeah, it's great. Yeah, we did it. Where's the electrical tape?
There we go. That was my first time soldering.
That was not how you do it. Oh, okay. Now we have the extra length we need to cable manage.
This can get out of here. Oh, you know what?
I'm going to take my scary 240 volt warning with me.
We can make a new one. This one's no longer 240 volt, it's zero volt.
This is a classic. Gotta keep it, keep the meme alive.
What do you think, Glenn? Is the TV going to power up?
What could go wrong, right? Here we go. Good luck, everybody.
Out, out. This one, I think.
Okay. Let's see if the TV fires up.
Hey, nice. Fantastic.
Works. All right. The cable survived.
Everything's good. There are no cables running across the floor.
