Browns. I love it. I think they're blues actually. There's no way. They're blues. What the hell?
Cut the cut that out. Leave that out of the video. Okay, do you hear the difference in sound?
Between your G and your K? No. I just hear that it's loud. Do you hear that?
I pressed this one and I was like, oh, it's browns.
The other ones have a way more distinctive blue click, can it?
I think your dual ARM is probably worth more than both of your monitors combined.
Yeah, I mean, that kind of checks out. It's fine. We're upgrading it.
You know, let's find all the things on Vance's desk that are worth more than his monitors.
It's a lot. His speakers. The desk itself, this mouse, definitely this keyboard. I mean, that's a Ducky Shine 3.
I think your 8-bit controllers are probably worth more than your monitors.
Look at this. It has some stains on it around the butt area.
What are you trying to say? That it's old. Yeah.
Wow, full of money. That might be worth more than the monitors.
Probably. I mean, there's only one way to find out.
Oh boy. That's a lot of pennies.
Okay, so maybe not. But they're American pennies.
What coin is this? It's a one Australian dollar. It's a dollar you do.
Okay, well, now I need to know. Oh my gosh, we're not going to count. We're counting the money.
We're counting the money. Okay, Perry's victory quarter.
Oh wow, these are fancy quarters.
No, I don't know. It's content, I guess.
Everything's content.
Are we taking into consideration the exchange rate?
You better believe it, baby. I don't want to do American pennies versus Canadian.
Well, I'll separate the Americans, I guess.
Come on, folks. Let's take some pride in our work here.
Our Canadian dollar is worthless. It's hard to be prideful.
Okay, we have a 1980s penny. It's an oldie. Nice.
I can't wait for my meeting with James. Hey, why did the A&E upgrade take so long?
I just wanted to count change. I'm so sorry for having that somewhere he could be.
You know what? Don't let him, don't apologize.
This is all content. Should we put on a movie or something?
Wow, some of these pennies have very different thicknesses.
I recently read that the Canadian mint is supposed to be like one of the top ones.
Yes, the quality of our gold is apparently outstanding.
I wish I was rich enough to know that the quality of gold mattered.
It's like a fine wine tasting.
Oh yes, this quality of gold pairs very well with the diamond jewels.
Look, it's a point of national pride.
We have better purity of gold than other mints.
Okay. That is one American dollar.
Right there. One dollar. And now we can stop counting.
One dollar. Because we got a dollar. Oh, Reese, actually, if you want to do something that would help this go faster,
go on Facebook Marketplace and try and find a square 17 inch LCD.
From 2004, please. 65, 70.
Okay, well let's just take the 60 and combine it with this one.
That's a dollar. So this will be a dollar. Okay.
Together. So, Vance, or wait, no, I'm the assistant today.
Hold on. Yeah, how much money do I have? We got 10, 20, 25.
So we have 25 cents there. We have an additional six cents American and we have one Australian dollar.
All right, I'm going to make a spreadsheet. Oh here, you can put a one tie bot in there too.
Oh, okay, I got you.
I always wondered what happened on AMD upgrades because I never go to them.
And now I know. Why takes the entire day?
You're always like, why isn't Linus calling for a script review?
Yeah, I'm like, they're really busy doing this.
Okay, so CAD, we've got three dollars and 25 cents.
I think it's safe to say, guys, he doesn't have more than the monitors.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven dollars.
U.S. That's U.S. dollars.
Sorry, that's like 55 Canadian. Seven dollars, six cents.
That's like nothing. And one Australian dollar.
So we're going to convert these with their current exchange rates.
Nine dollars, 86 cents Canadian.
All right, one Australian digeroo.
Okay, yeah, what's that? It is 89 cents Canadian.
I thought it was closer. All right, yeah, me too. Do you know what a tie bot is?
Oh yeah, let me just pull that off the top of my head. Half a cent, I don't know.
It's all going to count, I think. Tie dollar to CAD.
So it's not even one dollar though. No, it's one bot.
So 0.01. Not new Taiwan dollar, tie.
Taiwan and Thailand are not the same. Oh, I didn't know it was Thailand.
Here, here.
Okay, it is 0.0042 of a Canadian dollar.
I'm putting that in. How many zeros?
Three zeros.
Okay, drum roll please.
$14.0042.
So how many monitors does that get me?
Okay, so I found two square Dell monitors.
They're Dell, not HP, whatever. But for $5.00, you can get...
We can get Vance's monitor set up for that fair change.
Top two. At $2.50 each, we can get 5.600168 monitors.
You can fill the wall for us. Vance, you were sitting on a battle station in here.
Oh, there's more monitors.
I technically stole that tech sack. Okay, we should get that on video.
Oh.
He wants a coffee line, let's make him a coffee. Okay, all right.
I think this is coffee related.
This is almost certainly coffee related.
You already had coffee this morning, unless it was a different day
and no assistant was here to do your dishes. Maybe.
That's tea. This coffee?
No, that's soda stream. Okay, I'm pretty sure this and this are both coffee.
Are you asking? Are you making coffee? I am.
This is coffee.
You can Uber eat some coffee. This is coffee.
This is alternate coffee supply.
Oh, God.
I'm going to ruin the beans? But they're just sitting here.
You're going to do it wrong. Oh, I'm certainly going to do it wrong.
How to set up your Baratza? How to set it up?
No, I don't want to set it up. How to dial it in?
I just want to use it. I feel like we're inviting so many comments.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.
And today we're going to go over setting up your Baratza on core.
Lime is man. Making coffees.
That's an old reference. No one's going to get that reference.
What? I do recognize it, but I don't know what it's from.
What is it from? Cool Runnings.
That's the one.
It's an old SNL bit with Rob Schneider.
Oh, okay. Yeah, Tom Mann.
Making copies. It's so old and irrelevant that Family Guy does a bit where Rob Schneider does the bit,
and this young girl he's trying to impress is like,
I'm 23 to show that she doesn't get it.
It doesn't matter. They got so meta.
I'm making coffees. How many times have you made coffee in your life?
Zero. That's what I said. Really? Yeah. Not even once?
Why the hell would I have made coffee? I'm up for yourself, me, for other people.
I don't drink coffee. My wife doesn't drink coffee.
My kids sure as hell don't drink coffee, so who am I going to make it for?
I guess they could just crack a Red Bull instead. Well, no, I don't drink Red Bull either.
You ever wonder why I'm always late for work?
No, I have no stimulants in my life. I don't think that would help you.
No, probably not, because I would have to be conscious enough to make the coffee.
That's the whole paradox of coffee.
It's like you can't make coffee until you've had the coffee.
You know, they do these things called pods now. You can just push a button and it does it for you.
Yeah, well, you apparently don't, so that's not how we're doing this today.
Yeah, I guess you're not taking the easy way out. Nope.
Okay, so I have hot water. That's the, uh, the guide.
This is how to set up your grinder. It's not even how to make coffee. Yeah, but it's that grinder though.
Yeah, and then what do you do after that? Well, he shows me how many beans, smart guy.
You're going to count the number of beans that go in there? No, I'm going to look at approximately how much bean powder there is here,
and I'm just going to make that amount-ish. Oh God, that's a lot.
There's no way that's right. Hold on. Okay, my water's boiling though.
Uh, okay, we're going to chat GPT.
Actually, I don't know how chat GPT is going to tell you to make it. How much coffee beans do I grind for one cup?
Does he have a scale?
Vance is finally understanding why he's upgrading.
I'm also, to be fair, I'm also, I'm making it worse.
There's another coffee pot up there.
That's actually, well, we use it for tea. I need more than one coffee pot.
Oh, is that tea? I don't know, it looks like a coffee pot to me.
You could use that for your coffee, but- Alcoholic.
Okay, can we get the footage? What, they're alcoholic beverages.
What did you think I was saying?
Is there a scale? There is a scale. There's a scale, okay, okay.
Alright, oh! There's the scale, okay.
Yes!
Oh, I could have just teared it. Well, now it's on there.
That would have been about right, okay. We're gonna split the difference and go for 12 grams of beans.
13, I don't know, who knows. Okay.
What the hell is this?
Minor details.
Okay, alright, cool. Okay, we need a filter.
I think you're enjoying this too much, Vance. I like learning new things.
Well, what the hell, kind of stupid- Oh, right, no, that makes sense.
Of course, there's no hole in the bottom. It's not a funnel, it's a filter.
Grind. But you have to hold it?
Ah, that's stupid. There's a knob on the side.
We're all too late now. Some things that happened during an upgrade.
Where does this stand? This is up there. These are up there.
This was already quite up there.
Alright. Oh, wow, yeah.
Smells good, right? Smells like coffee. Oh, yeah.
And does that a good smell? Okay, did I grind it right?
You tell me. Okay, so you're not that fussy anyway. I'll tell you once the coffee's gone.
Okay, fair enough. Come on. So I assume the coffee has to go down in the bottom of the filter.
Are you asking me? Nope. I'm assuming.
Okay, so what's my ratio again? Hold on.
For a standard six-ounce cup, how the hell am I supposed to know what the f*** an ounce is?
It's 30 grams-ish. Well, who knows things like that?
That's American. It's only if you had a scale to be able to tell.
Well, what I'm supposed to weigh ounces of water? Okay, you know what?
F*** it. I'll weigh ounces of water. Fine.
I don't even care. That's not how it works, by the way.
What? Liquid ounces on solid ounces.
I don't think they're the same. Fine.
You want six ounces? Here's your six ounces.
I'm pretty sure ounces of volume measurement.
I like doing it like a certain way, but like, if someone just makes me a coffee, I'm not
going to like, this is trash. I mean, it probably will be.
It's brown water. I mean, yeah, but why is it going so fast?
I would have thought it would like take a while to get all the, you know, essence of
coffee. There's more of an involved process normally.
I see. Could we run it through it again?
You could try, but it'll probably just taste weaker.
Weaker? Yeah. It gets weaker if you run it through again?
Well, if you, we have that ratio for a reason. Well, I could just put the grounds in the bottom of the cup.
Like tea style. That's a way of brewing.
Yeah. I don't know if that's what you're supposed to do here.
How many, how many lumps, sir? Oh, you're asking me again.
Well, I'm just saying you know. No, no, no, no, no.
I said any good assistant would know. I didn't say I'm a good assistant. I don't, I don't put any in it.
You don't take. I mean, if it's a, if it's a good coffee.
Oh, okay. So it's not a good coffee. Hey, you tell me, is it good coffee?
I have no idea. I mean, I could, I could taste it, but I wouldn't, I wouldn't know anyway.
I feel like I kind of won here because I feel like usually in upgrades, you get the person
to participate in doing the upgrade, but in this case, I can just sit here and do nothing.
Yeah. No, no, you can't do nothing. You have to drink.
I have to drink. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you telling him?
Did you really win?
Ask me later. I'm not telling him. I'm coaching him on how to relax while someone else does the work.
Confirm. All Linus does is relax. My entire, my entire childhood upbringing just, just work against it.
Yep. How long did that actually take for the coffee?
Editor will put the time sample on. Okay.
How many hours of wage did this coffee processor?
Oh my God. Yeah, that's a pretty expensive cup of coffee.
He's the one who's making it. Man, this is, this is the most expensive cup of coffee I probably will ever drink in my
life. It tastes so good.
Okay. In all seriousness, I feel like so many things are like that where it's like, this is the
fancy good one just because it's like rare and expensive, but actually tastes like shit.
So you're actually really are having the like high society experience right now.
You really gave me the authentic experience. Thank you.
Like the first time I found out what a wedge salad was, I was like, excuse me, what the
f**k? This is like 30 US dollars and they literally don't even bother shredding the lettuce for
you. You're paying for them to do less work. Yeah.
Exactly. That this is the coffee wedge salad, although in fairness to me, I did put a fair amount
of work into it. I just didn't. Oh dude, I will never be rich enough to buy napkins.
That's so stupid. It's just like, it's just use a paper towel.
It's so much more absorbent. So what?
It doesn't have a picture on it. You might wipe your face on a picture.
How bougie is that? Think about it. It's more efficient if I pass it to you over this way, but you were over here.
So that's why I wanted to hold it over here.
I hate working here.
Man, you can't leave. Please help me read it.
Well, start by going.
Don't sir, please. Sir, please.
I'm sitting up already. No, I'm sorry sir.
He's already. I'll step in. I'll make sure he doesn't have to supervise you.
Hey, what? Where does this mount? Like.
Anywhere. Yeah. Okay, cool.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, no, no. I mean, just because he's our boss doesn't mean that we have to do things to a better
standard than he would have done for himself. He just had it lying in there.
I like remembering these cables. These are very old cables.
They've been through some stuff. Am I the one who sleeved these?
Yeah. I think these are DIY sleeved by yours truly. From back when I did, no, wow, these cables are about as old as your monitor.
This cable is from back when I did my crazy back of the motherboard 8 drive RAID 0 with
a bunch of 80 gig Intel SATA SSDs and this like adapt tech RAID card.
And I, I sleeved it as best I could.
So not only did you get the most expensive coffee, you have the most expensive sleeved
cable. Actually, back when you did it, you were worth nothing, but sorry, that came out way meaner
than I meant. That came out way meaner than I meant it to.
I'm sorry, sir. And how was your time at Linus Media Group?
You fired live on camera. No, no, no.
I'm just asking, like, how was it up until now because you have a long, you know, time
with Linus Media Group ahead of you.
Oh, well, it's only downhill from here.
I had to join you, Ryder. Stop.
How you doing, Elijah? I'm getting there, boss.
Quality is what you should strive for.
We always do at Linus Media Group.
I heard you say like a minute ago, you're like, we don't need that.
Yeah, I was talking about the HD audio connector. I couldn't find the header.
That's up in the top left. That's definitely not getting plugged in.
I'm sorry. Well, no, I'm taking the drives.
They're my drives. Well, they're his drives, but I'm his assistant.
Therefore, they're mine. That's how that works, right?
So what's yours is also mine? I mean, sure.
Ask for a TV. You got a new TV.
Actually, that's a nice TV. Upgrading all the displays.
My TV game is not the same as my monitor game, but it's similar.
It's not far off here. It's like a decade later, but like...
It has a component input. That gives you some idea, though.
You know, when you really want to do high quality Wii game play,
then you don't use that.
The built-in scaler is poo.
Exactly a decade later. 2016.
Okay. That other one was December 2005, so...
Okay. Yeah, you're like bang on a decade later.
Here you go, Elijah. Thank you. So I've risen something or other.
Oh, I should probably take some of these SSDs. Correct.
I assume you only want one of them in the NAS. Oh, yeah, we'll use that one as a big drive.
Well, you haven't asked him if there's anything important on it. Is there anything important on it?
Not important, but I do have stuff on it.
Hmm. Hmm.
Hmm. He's stuck in a loop.
I'm trying to figure out the next logical process.
What operating system are you running on here?
True NAS. True NAS, but then you will need a boot drive.
Hmm.
Is there one of the drives we can take?
I mean, yeah, you could, but you just have to, I guess, move the stuff off of it.
Okay. Damn. Good thing we took the computer apart first.
Yeah.
Hmm.
I plead the fifth. He also doesn't, like, you don't let us talk to you, like, how you're talking to him.
You crack the whip the moment we open our mouth.
He's about to do it. See, Glenn's nodding.
The only time I give you a hard time about it is when you are obsequious like that.
That's a big word. Are you trying to not hook up our boss's RGB?
It's a NAS. He probably doesn't.
Do you want it to go fast or not?
Sir, do you need the RGB hooked up? Does RGB make it faster?
Yes. Are you lying? No.
Editor insert every time where he's like, RGB and visuals don't make it go faster.
They're not going to be able to find that. I have at least three off the top of my head, I'll tell you.
Here's his RGB hub. Damn it. Oh my God, look at this.
At our recent company, All Hands, Dbrand gave everyone $100 gift cards.
Everyone in the company got a $100 gift card from mybossesveryshort.com.
Look at this. Use of this card is governed by the autocratic will of Dbrand, the deeply resentful sponsor of Linus Media Group.
Blah, blah, blah. Without warning or justification, bill Linus G. Sebastian personally for your purchases in whatever currency is most inconvenient.
These are metal cards. Like the amount of money these guys spent just to troll me.
It's unhinged at this point. Maybe there's vances.
Everyone in the company got one. Except me.
No, it's actually apparently pronounced readings. What?
Since it's like changed a while ago. Oh. Otherwise I did say artings.
Well, they didn't change the name. Yeah, they did. They changed the way it's pronounced.
You can't just do that. That's not how it works. You can look it up.
Or we can look it up. I swear. Whatever.
I'm gonna say it how it's spelled. Sure, artings. Artings.
Do you know how to set up Trina's? I have, yeah.
You have. Like I know how to get an SMB share ready for Windows.
Cool. That's about it. Can you go away though?
Yeah. Okay.
I don't like doing work. Oh, you asked if I can go away.
Yeah. But you didn't ask if I will.
F**k off.
Okay. I don't like doing work with people looking over my shoulder.
It's a real problem for managing him.
Because he doesn't really do work when you don't look over his shoulder either.
Okay. Configure that. Motherboard?
Like the... You haven't done anything there?
Yeah, I didn't do that. Are these the motherboards? Okay.
Can you just... Okay. Are you working?
I'm... Go away. I'm not over your shoulder.
I'm in front of your shoulder. God damn it.
Users. Ed. This guy is just going to like use the root user.
That's why I asked if you know how to do this.
Yeah. I noticed that everything up is root.
Is that really what Home Alone is called in French?
Mama, I missed the plane?
When you're missing it, Elijah's trying to push the desk in.
I went to go push the desk in. I was like...
And that. That is a major advantage of the old system.
Ooh, it's true. Hey, okay.
You know, to be fair, there's brakes on those wheels. Oh yeah, that's true.
Okay. Here we go. Elijah, I'll help you.
Oh, thank you. I'm not that heavy.
I'm not that heavy. I will not say anything. I am not that heavy.
I'm sure this isn't new news to Linus, so I'm going to say it, but I remember when I first started setting up computers for shoots,
I was instructed, please don't install Halo Infinite,
because he'll just start queuing a competitive game and he'll delay the shoot.
Did you know about this?
Yes. And then what would happen is I would install it anyway.
I would take even longer to install. Yeah, so much worse.
Roborock. Quick start guide. Hey, check this out.
Oh wait, check this out. Check this out.
Who am I? Huh? Woohoo.
Woohoo. Now? Okay, hold on.
No, I'll give you another clue. I'll give you another clue. Woohoo.
Keyboard might not have been working. Oh, Hooters. Yeah, they used to be business.
We're good now. Remember that? Too soon.
I mean, who cares? To be fair, we're kind of glad it's closed down, but you know.
Are we? I mean, I just, who cares?
Like, does anyone have strong feelings about Hooters shutting down one way or the other?
Oh my god. I never went. There's no e-girls there.
Why would you care? If there was an e-girls Hooters, you would totally go down.
Of course. At least once.
Wait, wait. You did not put two whole-ass command strips on this piece of paper, did you?
You guys, what? Yeah, I know. But you know these hold like 25 pounds or something, right?
No, no. It depends on what it's rated for. I mean...
I don't know what. I don't know. 16 pounds.
Sorry. Excuse me. Hey, you just...
Whatever. LMG's paying for it. Who cares?
No, that wasn't part of it. That was just Costco of me thing.
