and we are live we're live on the WAN Show with our
0:07
special guest Jay's t i take I take special very serious
0:13
very special guest the specialest guest the greatest uh you know what's actually
0:19
kind of funny is it didn't occur to me until we were already live but it is
0:24
possible that we still have the lower
0:28
third from no we do not somebody cleared
0:32
out that folder that would have been super cool if we still had like an
0:35
ancient lower third from having you on as a guest like two years ago three
0:39
years ago it was probably more like three yeah wow probably more like three
0:43
so um let's uh let's do a quick rundown of some of the topics that we want to
0:47
discuss today actually I've got one that I'm not sure if is in the dock but Jay
0:51
you and I both released videos discussing the X 299 platform and sort
0:56
of gave some thoughts on it um you know I'd love to kind of
1:00
head tohe about it and kind of exchange some of those thoughts I'm the audience
1:04
would love for us to flesh things out a little bit so uh I'm all about fleshing
1:08
out if you know what I mean and
1:11
um see how much awkward silence I can get I got a good two heartbeats there
1:16
yeah yeah that was solid um and uh We've also got a lot of Apple news this week
1:21
that I'm sure everyone is going to have an opinion on because some of it looks
1:26
amazing and some of it looks like it should be amazing but actually
1:30
um wait is this seriously not not in
1:34
here in detail okay that's fine we can we can get to that later so um yeah
1:40
without further Ado let's roll the intro and get right into this CU there's a lot
1:44
to cover today
1:47
y I can hear it Oh wait we're on the same thing now
2:06
sponsors for the show Savage
2:10
jerkey fresh books and cable
2:17
mod okay so why don't we jump right into
2:21
the big highlight from the I didn't put
2:24
the guest up there he is uh why don't we jump into the big highlight from Apple's
2:29
event oh and I just realized we don't have Jay
2:33
when I'm sharing my screen so we're just going to have to do the screen shares really quickly so this is from The Verge
2:38
the eight biggest announcements from Apple WWDC
2:42
2017 number one apple announces the
2:46
homepod speaker to take on Amazon Echo
2:50
and Sonos so can I kick this off by
2:55
saying who here actually uses Andor
2:59
desires my grandpa all the time same with my mom okay so tell me exactly what
3:04
it is that people are using I almost have no idea speakers for
3:09
um I think part of the idea is that it's
3:12
it can be louder than your phone automatically without having your volume
3:15
settings already on uh I think it's more responsive to voice from further away
3:20
I'm assuming those things are uh what
3:24
it's for I don't use it Jay what do you
3:28
got uh uh but yeah my grandpa and my mom
3:32
are both very I was so unenthusiastically like not following
3:35
anything to do with apple until I saw the Vega thing which I'm sure you're
3:38
going to talk about but yeah yeah I was going to get to the important stuff
3:42
later yeah I mean I don't know I could see like my dad who's fairly disabled
3:46
liking voice command stuff but I mean I can't bring myself to get an Alexa or a
3:51
Google home so why would I want this like I think part of the idea is if
3:56
he's like watching the TV or like cooking food or something and he just
3:59
doesn't even want to pull his phone out he can just talk to it and it's fine uh
4:04
wait hold on a second apparently Jay is way out of syn he wasn't um he looks in
4:11
sync
4:14
here uh
4:17
ah see I bring the old Tech talk Mantra with me wherever I
4:22
go oh it's slightly behind yeah oh
4:26
people are like yeah he's way out of syn 100 to 200 milliseconds yeah it's yeah
4:33
okay um I mean there's only so much you can do with video over IP right wow okay
4:39
you know what I think we're just not going to care at all so okay so
4:44
basically I I'll say this I I have a Sonos speaker actually I have a few
4:48
Sonos speakers and what I really like about them is that you can turn on one
4:53
room or two rooms or a bunch of rooms um
4:56
I do think Sonos speakers are overpriced so for Apple to come in and say okay
5:00
yeah we're going to have a home speaker that
5:03
um is you know sounds great and is also
5:08
a competitor for Sonos and also happens
5:12
to have Siri for if you're wondering like how tall the average giraffe is or
5:17
whatever sure then I I guess there's I guess there's some utility there but I
5:21
can't figure out who is actually using
5:25
Apple homekit stuff and I can't figure
5:28
out what EX L it is that people other than me have figured out how to do with
5:34
Siri that's actually useful that's one
5:37
of my bigger questions is cuz like I and
5:40
I feel like it was actually better before have you had that experience I
5:46
feel like my voice activated stuff has gotten worse over time almost every time
5:50
I go to you Siri like here let's do a live
5:54
demo hey
5:57
Siri hey Siri
6:01
can you set a reminder for me to pick up my kids at 10 p.m.
6:05
tonight okay I'll remind you okay well
6:09
whatever managed to get it right after not hearing me the first time but like
6:13
so many times it'll it'll get the uh
6:17
it'll have like the time in the reminder and it'll be like oh well when would you
6:22
like to do that like holy crap you literally have 1000 p.m. right there I
6:26
don't know how I could have been much more clear than that um and I've just
6:30
been so frustrated with it lately that I just can't imagine myself buying a
6:35
dedicated Appliance just to be mad and
6:38
after three attempts pull out my phone and just freaking type it in you know
6:42
when I did my Sono stuff last year um CU I I'm like you I have quite a bit of
6:45
Sono stuff and it really had one selling
6:49
point for me and that was the app controlled volume and whatnot cuz when
6:52
you have Toddlers and kids like me who like to crank the TV super loud it was
6:57
just convenient to be upstairs be able to turn the TV down
7:00
having to yell turn the TV down like that one feature alone for me was worth
7:03
it but um I mean in terms of like home assistance and and home speakers and
7:07
stuff like that I don't use any of the other functionality built into the Sonos
7:11
with with the exception of just being able to switch it and maybe stream some
7:15
music to to play a little bit of Devil's Advocate I guess no one's really
7:20
fighting for the other side but um I I I think for like the the more normies out
7:26
there I guess normies is that what we call them now I I guess um I think this
7:30
serves actually a better use case because it fits the like super classic
7:35
easy to understand Dynamic of like the
7:38
the person chopping vegetables in their kitchen who like randomly thinks of
7:42
something and doesn't want to stop like hey can you convert 34 of a cup to the
7:46
metric system yeah and like apparently it actually does that pretty well I know
7:50
your phone didn't just pick you up I could see my wife doing that yeah and
7:53
like I know your phone didn't just pick you up very well but a dedicated Appliance a
7:57
$350 Appliance for that I of course though so again back to okay
8:04
so there's two discussions to have here one is is this thing really that useful
8:08
and the second one is Will normies flock out and buy it so the I don't know about
8:12
flock out and buy it well but hold on I was about to make an argument there
8:16
because when I was over in Taiwan I uh I stayed at Dennis's parents house for the
8:21
first day because our hotel wasn't
8:24
available to check in yet anyway um and they actually had like
8:30
so many dedicated appliances that my
8:33
zero clutter lifestyle would not allow me to take for free let alone go out and
8:39
buy so like zero clutter lifestyle they have uh they have at home you haven't
8:44
been to my house lately have you yeah well okay I have kid
8:48
stuff yeah I have kid stuff but like okay like my aunt she has everything
8:53
from like she has a dedicated juicer just for lemons and limes okay okay yeah
8:58
yeah she's got a noodle maker she's got a okay she's got a salad spinner and I'm
9:03
sitting here going you know what you know how you dry the salad you kind of
9:08
shake it over the sink and you you put it in the bowl it's done you know that's
9:12
like it's like the spending too much time on QVC or The Shopping Network
9:15
right you're just like oh that looks useful and you buy it but then you really never use it so Dennis's parents
9:19
own an inhome sauna and remember this
9:23
isn't Taiwan like it's not a huge house in Taiwan that's a little bit surprising but I if I remember correctly in Finland
9:27
there's a sauna per person okay sonas are just not that popular in Canada and
9:32
and number two they had this like like
9:36
riding thing that I posted on social media that was like an exercise device
9:41
of some sort and I'm sitting here going you know that is like the erotic B Flex
9:46
you know it's like I think it was for core exercises but man did it look like
9:51
and this is what I want to know are people not learning everyone goes out
9:55
and buys a rowing machine or a treadmill
9:58
or an ice cream maker everybody does it
10:02
and they just keep doing it what's wrong
10:05
with a rowing machine or a treadmill the fact that you use it six
10:10
times yeah but those people are one in a
10:13
thousand that's true that's the point we we have a chocolate
10:17
fountain what like those ones you see at
10:21
like a party or a wedding yeah don't ask me why but how many time how many times
10:24
have you guys used that we've never used it but we've lent it out plenty of times
10:30
so basically if if Jay's two cents
10:33
doesn't end up working out for you then you're going to start up a like
10:37
pointless white people appliances rental house kitchen loans
10:42
yeah yeah there is probably a business
10:46
there like like my parents my parents bought the uh bought the slicer machine
10:51
the like v-shaped blade where you can like slice fries out of a potato in just
10:56
like one thing um we had the bamx which
11:00
by the way did pay for itself in homemade mayonnaise you can make mayonnaise in
11:05
like minutes with the bamx I'm not trying to sell you the bamx okay but um
11:10
you know we had that one what that is so I really didn't know there was that many people into homemade mayonnaise
11:15
yeah I don't think there are a lot of people into it so much as there are
11:20
um a few people that are really into it
11:23
so that makes sense anyway my my take on the homepod is okay it's got seven beam
11:30
forming speakers and a 4-in subwoofer and apparently apple
11:36
is really excited about the sound quality they're going after the Sonos
11:41
Play 3 with extra functionality if it does all this stuff really well then
11:44
great but one of the things I love so much about Sonos is that whether I'm
11:49
using an iPhone or an Android device
11:52
this week I can use it regardless so I
11:55
have to see how Apple again that's not a use case for like almost anybody well
12:00
okay I can go over to my parents house and regardless of what kind of phone I'm
12:03
using I can tap into Sonos and play some music which is pretty cool well how
12:08
about the fact that the Sonos is also its own music server too you can just offload your favorites and create
12:12
playlists on the Sono on your own on Sonos on your own network regardless of
12:15
what devices are hooked up to it isn't it just speakers uh Sonos yeah no uh
12:21
it's no it's pretty Co can can it answer how tall is a average draft no it can't
12:25
do that so then it's not really the same thing though but the logic being that
12:29
that if I'm going to buy a a a ipood or
12:32
whatever the homepod um if I'm going to buy a homepod I probably already have
12:37
one of these in my pocket now I get a lot of Sonos mail because I've signed up
12:41
for their stuff it's like one of the few newsletters I actually pay attention to and I there was some early talk like
12:46
late last year early this year about their being an assistant in development
12:50
so I don't know feel like a new assistant from Sonos probably wouldn't
12:53
be very good considering what Apple and Google and Microsoft have been able to
12:57
do in this long of a Time who knows um
13:00
and considering how terrible everything is honestly I have no faith in a Sonos
13:05
home assistant I just don't need a home assistant no but you're not here's the
13:09
thing all these use cases for smart appliances let's talk smart appliances
13:13
for a minute okay oh oh I'm going to lose now okay all these use cases
13:17
they're like yeah what what is it you can uh your
13:21
juicer needs to be connected to the internet you're your it's not going to
13:25
work like uh I forget who it was I think it was Samsung showing a smart washer
13:28
and dryer and they're like yeah so you could like control your washer and dryer
13:32
from the distance I'm like you mean instead of when I actually put the
13:37
bloody clothes in yeah just getting
13:40
notifications that your load is done could be helpful we have an LG Smart
13:45
refrigerator so okay okay what's it
13:48
what's it do why could why would I care it warns you like when the filters need
13:51
to be changed if a door got left open if it's under temperature um and a light on
13:56
the front of the fridge couldn't do that well if the door got left open and
14:00
you're upstairs cuz you're going to bed light on the front of the fridge
14:04
eight-year-old child we have a we have a
14:07
piece of paper on our fridge at work saying please remember to close the
14:10
fridge because works for like days seem to do it I'm just saying these things
14:15
aren't completely useless and I think considering my comment about normies
14:19
being more into Google home and all that kind of stuff the Apple homepod might do
14:24
better for them than the watch did so targeting people who can't figure out
14:28
how to close their fridge no but at the same time like like like
14:31
you say it's not going to be very helpful for you because you won't be chopping vegetables cuz you're not the
14:36
one do most now ours doesn't least go as far also whoa shots okay you go first
14:42
Jay but I have to address the shots fired over there okay ours is at least
14:46
not one of those ones that will like tell you what you're low of in the fridge and automatically link it to your
14:51
Amazon Fresh cart and whatnot I mean we we do have the Amazon Fresh like scanner
14:55
thing my wife likes to use that but there's refrigerators out there that
14:58
will tell when you're low on milk and it would like automatically order it for
15:01
you at least we didn't go that far I can I can but I can actually see that being
15:06
useful whereas the more rudimentary stuff I don't know if I care as much about okay and back to your whole thing
15:11
I don't need to convert metric to Imperial because I actually already know
15:15
these tpoon 5 Ms tablespoon 15 M I don't
15:20
care your conversion 250 Ms a liter is
15:24
approximately a c it's a little more a gallon is 4 lit approximately about 3.75
15:30
L okay I can convert this crap in my head I don't need an ipood I only speak
15:36
American so I need the help okay not
15:39
everyone can and what if your kid asks you a question and it's of something
15:44
super weird that I'm going to make it up because that's half the fun of being a
15:48
parent Daddy what what does a giraffe do all
15:53
day well son giraffes actually play a
15:56
lot of Poker people don't know this because you look at those hoops and you
16:00
think gee how do they even hold the cards but giraffes like see it's endless
16:06
okay you know you make it up no problem my dad made things up to me and I turned
16:12
out just fine i' say that explains a
16:17
lot debatable Brandon is yelling
16:20
debatable up your crap Brandon um all
16:24
right probably move on let's talk about the new IMAX because I think basically
16:29
this explains how AMD managed to remain
16:33
so secretive about Vega because AMD
16:36
leaks everything but it seems like if
16:39
you're going to collaborate with apple and apple wants to be the one to
16:44
announce the first desktop you know Vega
16:47
graphics card then people probably ran around the office going okay no look for
16:51
real this time for real this time don't leak Vega okay don't leak Vega Apple
16:56
wants to do it and if we don't sell them to Apple we're not going to have a lot
17:01
of customers so I'm Sal I'm salty about
17:04
the whole thing okay all right so hit me hit me okay so am AMD is kind of
17:10
rebasing its whole Foundation right of of community oriented gamer oriented and
17:14
we've been waiting for Vega for quite a while right but I feel a little bit
17:18
stabbed at the back by AMD that they're launching it in an Apple product first I
17:22
mean that's kind of where I'm at with that so when the news came out I basically just kind of like face palmed
17:27
and then turned it off cuz at that point I just felt like I just felt like AMD
17:31
sold out on that one now it's no it's no news that AMD Graphics have been in
17:35
MacBook Pros in mat for a while but I just feel I just feel like the the Vega
17:40
that everyone's been waiting for kind of go name for and I I don't like it either
17:46
but I'll I'm willing to give them a little bit of benefit of the doubt
17:50
listening to what you're saying I hear that but we all know that they need as
17:54
much money as possible so there was some amount of like they're going to make
17:58
more from this if there's some amount of temporary exclusivity deal or something
18:03
then I'm willing to give it to them because it's only Vega Pro then I guess
18:07
that kind of makes sense but I mean we're still waiting for more kind of gamer or mainstream Vega but still
18:12
that's fair right now to my knowledge apple is the only tier one computer
18:18
maker that not forget about being
18:22
exclusive to AMD Radeon apple is the
18:26
only tier one PC maker that even
18:29
emphasizes AMD Radeon so I do understand
18:33
why apple is getting some special treatment here because even like so I
18:37
got a press release today that Acer is doing like a $799 budget gaming desktop
18:42
I was actually thinking yeah we might actually pull it in for review cuz it's
18:46
uh um it's ryzen based okay yeah yeah
18:50
they still put a 1050 in it wow and it's
18:54
just like okay so part of the problem is that Supply is really tight on the RX
18:58
card because cryptocurency
19:02
important but part of it too is that
19:06
like they're competitive but they're they're not like uh they're not like a
19:10
you know a green team crushing solution at at any level in the product stack the
19:15
twitch chat is so salty that you said tier one what tier one is like a it's a
19:21
term you can Define I know it's not it's
19:25
not an opinion they're so upset I mean I mean they're going to
19:29
hate who the rest of the tier ones are okay Dell HP Lenova what what did you
19:35
think what do you think I was going to say like
19:39
ASUS MSI I'm sorry those gu
19:44
okay those guys are tier one motherboard
19:48
manufacturers yeah but in the PC system
19:51
space Enterprise they are way behind
19:57
okay I'm sorry get over it um so let's
20:00
talk a little bit about the device that
20:04
Vega Graphics are going into um I may do
20:08
a dedicated video on this actually just kind of discussing this but Jay hit me
20:12
with your thoughts on an iMac
20:17
Pro um okay so should I should I do some
20:21
approximate specs for the viewers before you kind of launch into it or yeah cuz I
20:25
was kind of pulling up something sure okay so let's let's do some context for
20:29
you guys so much like the Mac Pro this
20:32
is a balls to thewall machine we're talking up to 18 coron we're talking up
20:38
to 128 gigs of ECC RAM we're talking
20:41
radon Vega Graphics a 5k display four Thunderbolt 3 ports with support for
20:46
external gpus so that Vega GPU however
20:50
they're implementing it whether it's mxm or whether it's baked right into the PCB
20:55
um is upgradeable in a manner of speaking up to a 4 TB SSD a 10bit panel
21:01
new black peripherals cuz that's important uh UHS 2 sdx people that might
21:08
be into the homepod it is 500 W power
21:12
supply 1080p webcam starting at
21:15
$5,000 I mean this to me looks like a
21:19
pretty bananas machine but it's in an
21:23
allinone yeah uh I'm a little surprised that they
21:27
spent so much empasis on specs cuz given kind of where they've been over like
21:31
let's just say the last 8 years um I mean you can still buy an i7 dual core
21:37
right MacBook Pro so it just seems it
21:40
just seems kind of surprising to me that they actually are going with the top tier Hardware this time around cuz
21:45
Apple's always been about software um optimizations right yes so I'm kind of
21:49
wondering experience you buy a product not a spec sheet right me given the
21:55
price to Specs I don't and the fact that it's Apple I actually don't think that
21:58
that price is really like out of whack I think it's right in line with where it
22:01
should be cuz you you could build a similar Intel based system with the same
22:04
specs and spend just as much yeah and that's that's true depending though on
22:10
what we are actually getting for five grand cuz that might be maybe that's not
22:15
Vega and maybe that's I mean it's certainly not an 18 core processor it
22:19
does it does say it starts it does say it starts with a 8 core Zeon so that
22:23
would be maybe is it eight core does it have eight gigs of ramig up to 15
22:29
yeah you never know how much Apple's going to kneecap something honestly for
22:32
me the thing that I'm that I really take exception with and the thing that again
22:36
I might do like some kind of a follow-up video on here is that they're that that
22:42
they're calling it pro that people that
22:45
the pro users got upset when they took
22:49
away the tower that you can put expansion cards in and they gave us a
22:54
cylinder that you can clip that you can
22:57
plug expansion devices into and that now
23:01
you know and they did say earlier this year that they're going to have
23:05
something to address the pro user I guess what I want to know is was this it
23:10
because to me professional means modular
23:14
upgradeable it it it means a path to continue using it and the other thing
23:19
that really upsets me and that makes that makes Apple's desktop ecosystem
23:25
almost impossible to support as a business owner is the unpredictability
23:30
of it yeah if we go back for the last 10 years so we we just upgraded our editing
23:35
workstations it was kind of time it had been three almost four years something
23:39
like that and so let's say over a span
23:42
of 10 years if our company were to have
23:45
followed a typical upgrade cycle of 3 to
23:48
four years we would have had Towers we
23:51
would have had cylinders we would have
23:54
been stuck with old cylinders thinking holy crap are we going to have to just
23:59
go straight to laptops and then Apple would have dumped an aiio on us with
24:04
that hold on a second I mean what if we just upgraded our displays apparently no
24:09
the new pro version is coming probably sometime in 2018 okay which still
24:13
doesn't address my fundamental problem with apple not having a clear strategy
24:19
in a professional environment I need to know what my upgrade path is right so
24:24
that if I'm going to invest in a bunch of brand new 8K displays from Del let
24:28
say exactly I need to know that the new machine that I'm going to have available
24:33
to me is going to make any sense oh wait
24:36
oh this one comes with a with a with a
24:39
display already in it like I just I don't understand Apple's Pro lineup um
24:45
so that's kind of where I'm that's kind of where I'm going with that is this the
24:48
first iMac Pro though I'm not sure yes it is I think so okay yep so they're
24:53
just in they're just introducing then the new Pro Line of IMAX but for the so
24:57
then okay based on the hardware available in the iMac are you is the new
25:00
Macbook Pro or excuse me the new Mac Pro coming out in 2018 going to be
25:04
essentially the same Hardware in a tower format with AIO water cooling again I
25:08
mean I have to kind of wonder what the next tier of Hardware could be I kind of
25:11
Wonder too like I I would love for Apple to just go straight back to
25:17
basics here's a tower here's where the expansion cards go here's how you add a
25:22
freaking hard drive that's connected to a SATA interface instead of connected to
25:27
a Thunderbolt interface for some reason their desktop side of their Enterprise
25:30
has always been more concerned with the form factor than anything
25:36
else yeah so I don't know that's that's
25:40
where I'm at on that I'm glad that they do have a legitimate professional you
25:45
know high-end great option but um I'm
25:48
I'm frustrated that pro products are
25:51
being treated as basically
25:55
disposable other than being able to upgrade the Graphics which is good but
26:01
the fact that we're doing this over Thunderbolt means that there is going to
26:05
be some kind of bottleneck that exists already and can only get worse so we did
26:10
a a fairly thorough I think investigation where we looked at alien
26:13
weare's Graphics amplifier versus the razor core and found that already with a
26:19
top tier 1080 TI there are performance
26:22
differences between a straight PCIe interface and Thunderbolt 3 with all the
26:27
extra overhead people criticized us they
26:30
said lus no one's going to put a 1080 TI in that thing and I'm sitting here going
26:35
well that wasn't the point the point is that 3 years from now when it is time to
26:39
upgrade your graphics card something with the power of a 1080 TI is going to
26:42
cost $199 yeah and that's exactly what
26:45
you're going to put in it yeah well I played around Thunderbolt 3 for the
26:49
first time earlier this year with you know the external graphics card
26:53
Solutions and I saw the same thing you did in fact it was so the performance
26:57
degradation was so bad or even Thunderbolt 3 that I had to get
27:00
confirmation that the anywhere between 25 to 35% performance loss was normal
27:05
and Al so oh yeah that's normal okay then what's the point of buying top tier
27:09
Graphics like this when it's just going to dumb down to a tier or two lower on
27:14
the graphic Solutions so like you like like you're saying though if if using an
27:17
interface like that as the option to stay forward compatible then you're just cutting yourself off at the knees and
27:21
the ankles and everything as you go forward one note about this new iMac I
27:25
don't know what versions I know there's the pro and I believe there's nonpr new
27:28
versions the only thing I've seen is of the non-pro but I'm assuming it's the
27:31
same for both the CPU and the RAM are both replaceable yep that was true of
27:36
previous IMAX but not GPU still like we're talking about anyways okay so
27:41
that's frustrating um and I I kind of
27:45
doubt people are going to be super hardcore throttled by at least the CPU
27:50
part of that you might be able to get away with the classic Mac thing where you buy the one with less RAM and then
27:54
upgrade the RAM yourself cuz it's way freaking cheaper but who knows
27:59
I don't know it's interesting yeah so I don't know I still haven't decided if
28:03
I'm going to do a piece on it it kind of depends whether I can sort of come up
28:06
with a coherent enough argument but it is something that I've wanted to talk about for quite some time Apple's sort
28:11
of schizophrenic approach to professional studio versus Mac Pro Oh
28:17
Lordy I don't well I don't necessarily so it's too early in the surface product
28:23
uh lineup line yeah for me to really
28:26
talk about you know uh Microsoft strategy cuz right now it's really hard
28:31
to tell what it is I I can't discuss um
28:34
one member of the family whatever that
28:37
really means yeah whatever Creator means I mean this thing spanks the surface
28:40
Studio on paper anyway performance wise definitely yeah and upgradeability wise
28:45
even yeah service studio is horrible nightmare to get into yeah um so should
28:51
we do the big announcement the reason that Jay's on the show today oh yeah
28:56
should we do that now actually you know what no what we're going to do is do it
29:00
after the ads oh get so why don't we uh
29:03
why don't we do our sponsor call outs first yeah um hold on I just want to do
29:07
a I want to do a quick tweet do you want to start one of them and then Jade should we just we'll just uh we'll just
29:12
put you away for now um okay I'll I'll duck out of the way okay cool uh sure
29:17
I'm going to conveniently start with Savage jerky box dog can I have some is
29:21
this a new box this is not a new box are
29:24
they still okay uh oh yeah probably I mean how does jerky go bad yeah okay
29:29
should I take on the reaper today what did you do last time I don't remember I
29:33
think I did the second hottest the one that like has more that's five bars the
29:38
one five bars uh yeah the reaper five bars so Savage jerky fairly
29:41
self-explanatory it's it's it's jerky or you can get bacon actually this maple
29:45
bacon that's mine you don't get any maple bacon that favorite one where's my
29:49
favorite one I'm going to do the do we have a Carolina Reaper that's already
29:52
open um there we go yeah there we go
29:56
yeah we got we got an open one this one one's not as popular just to eat for LS
30:01
because it uh oh no we don't have an open one I don't think we've done this
30:05
one since the last spot because if you into spicy jerky this is like for you
30:10
I'm not that into spicy jerky there we go Mojo habanero that's my favorite one
30:14
they all come with generally four bars of heat on the front so it'll tell you
30:19
how hot it is moah habanero is a three the reaper is special it comes with five
30:25
bars and they're all filled because it is just more hot than freaking anything
30:29
Savage jerky is a sponsor of ours they they use the best ingredients without
30:34
nitrates or preservatives um their goal is to create a snack that is full of
30:37
flavor and spice and won't actually be bad for you apparently their inspiration
30:42
came from the Flavor of garlic lime and cilantro M I believe that you can taste
30:46
it in almost all of them if you can still if you still have taste buds that
30:49
work after you're done with if you go for the reaper you might want not taste it for long they'll taste it for a
30:54
little bit at the start and then it goes away I Don't Fear the Reaper or the wind
30:57
or the rain be like they are come on baby apparently
31:01
outside of this just the traditional flavors most people go for Sriracha
31:05
bacon or Maple Buffalo bacon which makes sense to uh Linus' preferences but yeah
31:11
they're pretty freaking good they have a whole bunch of different flavors they're really into the spicy stuff hence Savage
31:16
if you're into that so you can check them out over at Savage jerky.com and uh
31:20
once I figure out how to get the package open because apparently they don't have
31:24
stupid people proof packaging and I mean I've I've opened them all flawlessly but
31:29
anyways you know what I've had enough of your crap what the heck if you use offer
31:33

36:07
Angry cuz I thought my bacon jerky was gone Okay carry on Jay no I think it's
36:11
funny because uh I think Ed put the credits up or after the first episode I
36:14
think the credits were up and showed me there um yep right next to Jonathan who
36:19
uh because it said there thanks for loaning equipment when we needed it and other uh stuff right and some folks
36:25
there's some pretty sharp people out there in the audience and they were like oh I guess we know who the celebrity
36:28
judge is and I was like no clearly I loan them equipment that's why I'm down
36:32
here and Ed like liked that tweet he's oh yeah cuz I was trying to I this is
36:35
probably the hardest secret I ever kept we're like What 3 months like three
36:39
months past this it's been a yeah so I was the the guest celebrity judge on the
36:43
RGB Factor uhhuh so uh scrapyard Wars
36:48

36:53
access to it so scrapyard Wars Episode 4
36:57
is coming this weekend uh I think it's going to be on Sunday and uh without any
37:03
spoilers I think it's fair to say this
37:09
Jay is a very
37:12
impactful member of the cast for the
37:15
fourth and final episode he not only you
37:19
know did what he did as our celebrity guest he also lent us his Studio space
37:24
which was very generous and he hung out with us us until the we hours of the
37:29
morning because how many messages did I send you saying yeah hey we're not
37:33
coming yet it's going to be later hey actually it's going to be
37:37
later can we just stand around for a little while I I I I took it as an opportunity
37:43
to just sit on the couch here and watch some TV and some Netflix something I
37:47
never get to do cuz I clean the studio right I was like okay I want a fresh
37:50
late for you guys to be able to set up however you wanted to you know take take rain of the space and I had only moved
37:54
in 2 weeks prior to that so it was pretty empty right compared to now like
37:57
you have to you can't walk sideways to go through down the hallway but yeah um
38:00
no it was it was it was fun because I got to see scrapyard Wars for the first
38:05
time literally from the finale backwards
38:09
because it's like okay I see how it ends I Know How It Ends but I have no idea
38:13
how we got here so it was really weird even for me you know because I I knew
38:16
you kept sending me these texts like we're delayed we're sorry we're delayed we're sorry and I'm just like oh my God
38:20
what is going on over there I'm thinking this better make for some good drama and it didn't
38:24
disappoint so for those of you who want to watch scrapyard War episode 4 early
38:29
I'm actually posting a link in the chat Floatplane Club is um our Early Access
38:34
platform that we've got over on the Linus Tech tips Forum that we would love
38:37
to open up to other creators at some
38:46
point Sorry I think some of those coughs are legitimate cu the jerky no not all
38:51
of them but this is the maple bacon jerky okay no this stuff's fine um only
38:56
only the worst of content creators would consider such a platform yeah Early
39:01
Access it does nothing but hurt the audience except when they they don't
39:05
notice that it's happening yeah except when that happens uh also you know it
39:09
kind of helps the Creator there is the whole adpocalypse thing going on that's
39:14
I don't know if anybody noticed that yeah um all right doing okay but that's
39:18
literally killing something should we get back to maybe about 10 more minutes of news and then um we'll bid Ado to Jay
39:23
and bring on Nikki V for one final land show stream yeah did um actually okay we
39:30
kind of touched on this but this is sort of uh sort of a big deal AMD's GPU
39:34
Supply exhausted by
39:37
cryptocurrency so I'll go ahead and screen share here real quick here so if
39:41
you've been running out there trying to buy an rx470 or R excuse me 570
39:46
sorry of honly Freudian slip a 570 or a
39:51
580 um yeah you've probably had a bit of
39:55
a hard time because people are let's see let's have a look at what this stuff is
39:59
so what are these coins I don't even know have you been keeping up with this
40:03
Jay only a little bit see I I realized
40:06
it was starting to pick back up in popularity when it was becoming difficult to Source this because I'm I'm
40:10
getting to the point where I'm just kind of buying and building the systems on my
40:13
own right and not taking sponsorship on everything so I went and tried to
40:17
legitimately buy these for for a video and I'm like I can't get any RX based
40:22
graphics card 400 or 500 series uh and it was just like what the heck so I
40:26
started researching it and it seems like we've gone full circle right because at
40:29
the beginning everyone wanted less power consumption and and they wanted the out
40:33
of camera with the what it's actually called when they do the hashing or whatever right and they wanted um they
40:38
wanted more efficiency on that so they kind of started coming across with these
40:42
custombuilt computers I think Jerry did a really good video about uh you know
40:46
the progression of Bitcoin mining and then I don't understand how we got back
40:49
to here though well it looks like it's ethereum mining that people are really
40:54
into right now ethereum okay yeah so um
40:58
I actually had someone internally pitching to me that we should do a a
41:01
Bitcoin mining update and I was like not Bitcoin but cryptocurrency mining update
41:06
and I was like oh really that again and I didn't really look into it I really
41:09
should have because then we could have been a little bit more uh more topical
41:13
on been pretty huge yeah what's what's the price of Bitcoin right now because
41:18
no matter what people are mining they're all converting it out anyway so yeah
41:22
Bitcoin is equal to$ 3794 Canadian dollars so there a Gold
41:27
Rush again basically yeah I can try to find US Dollars which is that's one
41:31
whole Bitcoin right cuz I think they also you get them in bits right yes you
41:35
get part it's 2,824 is US dollar per Bitcoin which is
41:41
huge if you can see the hold what did
41:44
you search um uh just one BTC to
41:47
USD so I'm going to go ahead and share that with the audience here
41:51
yeah so there you go the charts you can see you can see the big yeah you can you
41:57
see it pop up big gold rush back in 2014 H late 2013 early
42:02
2014 oh sorry that was mid 2014
42:05
yeah and it was news mhm and then in the
42:10
last since since the end of last year it's gone from like 500 bucks to over
42:14
2,000 and it's it's very close to over 3K which is pretty insane yeah pretty
42:20
incredible so once again I've missed out
42:24
once again I suck at everything but I'm I'm over it uh what else we got
42:30
here um PCI Express 4.0 specs finalized
42:35
the original articles from tech report and also in other news PCI Express 5.0
42:40
is announced hoay so it's going to be 16 Giga
42:44
transfers per second on tap so basically
42:47
we're we're doubling it again
42:51
um so that's really important on the
42:56
server side of things and less important for consumers yeah I mean I guess it's
43:01
cool in the sense that like consumer platforms that don't have as many PCI
43:05
Lanes will be able to run like I mean at this point you're going to be able to
43:10
run in what a 1x slot or like a like a 4X slot what you
43:16
used to be able to run in a hold on a second so that would be an 8X a 16 okay
43:21
hold on a second you're going to be able to run in like a 2X slot which I believe does exist but no one implements it if I
43:25
recall correctly what you would have been able to run in a 60x slot back in
43:29
gen one so that's that's cool right that's pretty cool that's cool are we
43:34
excited throwing stuff into big 16x slot things isn't really going to be a big
43:38
difference though um yeah so it still needs to
43:42
undergo a final review but um scale of 1
43:45
to 10 Jay how excited eh I mean I I don't do my workflow
43:52
doesn't really matter that much on on PC e through put but is there a timeline on
43:56
that um well right now it still needs a couple little things um one big question
44:02
is whether or not AMD and Intel will even bother to implement PCIe Gen 4 on
44:08
consumer Parts yeah the timeline could be who
44:12
knows yeah um on the server side of things though PCI E Gen 5 which will
44:17
double it again uh designed to offer 128
44:20
gigabytes per second of total bandwidth will allow us to have 400 gabit per
44:25
second Ethernet Solutions like that's super sick that's cool so
44:31
that's like amazing yeah um oh this is
44:35
fun we're already like we have like no contact at Samsung whatsoever because we
44:39
suck um but we saw this earlier this
44:43
morning we were like yeah need to get our hands on some of that Samsung
44:46
announced I think it's a 32 by1 32 by9
44:49
sorry uh wide aspect ratio monitor have
44:52
you seen this have you heard about this yeah it's like three 4x3 yeah
44:57
that's ridiculous and that's that is curved
45:02
right yeah it is geez yeah with free sync yeah for
45:05
gamers that's pretty wild 144 Herz 1 ms
45:09
response time HDR 10 free sync 2 quantum
45:13
dot all the things all the all the
45:16
buzzwords Samsung's one of those companies where like they have world
45:21
class display technology and just no idea yeah like I
45:27
stopped by their Booth I think it was like two CES ago and they were showing
45:31
off like a freesync monitor and they
45:34
didn't have the refresh rate and nobody in the whole Booth I swear I asked like
45:38
eight people including like the guy who was in charge of the monitor section
45:42
knew the refresh rate I'm just like you
45:45
know that's actually like the important
45:48
spec for a gam monitor right now it's kind of like when I was shopping at uh
45:52
Fri Electronics I if you guys have those up there but Fri is Big electronic store
45:56
here in the St and uh I was shopping for panels and I was looking at high refresh
46:00
rate Stu and they had them all hooked up to HDMI so it was like not a single panel
46:06
was actually displaying anything towards like what it possibly could and when I
46:09
tried to explain to the to the manager of that section I was like you need to
46:12
put display ports on these uh he was like no it's HDMI it's fine it carries
46:16
audio too I'm like yeah so basically Point dude my
46:21
wife was with me on that one and even she knew more and she like doesn't care about any of this stuff she was like
46:25
yeah I don't think that's supped supposed to look that way oh man
46:30
terrible all right last one before we bring on Nikki V uh Intel coffee Lake
46:35
CPUs delayed so the rumor that Intel is
46:40
going to be releasing six and four core
46:44
coffee Lake uh processors on their mainstream
46:48
platform uh this year it seems to have been quashed it will instead be
46:52
apparently and this is all rumors um sometime in February of 2018 can you
46:58
imagine how much of a better position Intel would be in today if they had
47:02
brought six core before AMD launched
47:06
ryzen yeah if KB Lake was six core I I
47:11
think they could have but they got very complacent over the last decade on their
47:14
on their own road map and they just pushing stuff off I think this should
47:18
begin the lonus and J collab angry session the the angry the the anger the
47:24
299 talk I want I want to say something real quick I took a lot of FL oh just
47:29
copying L cuz he had a viral video I said that day in compy text I looked at
47:34
Nick and I said Monday we're recording this we're recording my thoughts on this
47:37
this is days before you and I ever talked about it and before your video
47:41
ever went up the difference is you took advantage of walking in the rain you
47:44
took advantage of walking in the rain you went for that whole like depressing
47:48
I'm surprised that that whoever edited that video didn't put a gray Hue on
47:51
there too and just make it super depressing but I saw that video and I
47:54
was like you son of a
47:57
uh but no I I I had I had to do it anyway um I mean there's so many things
48:03
you can talk about right I mean I shot that video like four times cuz I kept kind of dumbing it down I was like I I
48:07
was rambling so long on that and but there's so many things that are wrong
48:11
with that all the way down to uh a pay wall for raid I mean what the hell
48:16
man I just I liked that one I don't even
48:20
know cuz like I'll tell you this like even on the server side so I recently
48:24
rolled out an NVMe storage server so it's got uh 48 NVMe bays and I
48:30
actually had some issues with Intel's rst Enterprise drivers where it's
48:35
limited to maximum 12 drives and that
48:39
was just like a tech limitation that was like a driver limitation it wasn't like
48:43
a pay wall thing they weren't asking for anything it just straight up had no way
48:46
to do that um and I actually wanted to run Cheapo RS raid 5 on that high-speed
48:53
Nas and the reason for that is that I'm doing real time replication of that Nas
48:59
to a separate box so ultimately if I only have one drive of redundancy or it
49:04
just kind of craps the bed I'm going to switch everybody over we're going to be
49:07
editing off the other box while I rebuild it and get everything I mean it'll be inconvenient but it's not the
49:11
end of the world yeah so I couldn't do that because of like a driver limitation
49:16
well now I'm wondering if I'm not going to be able to do that unless I buy an
49:20
expensive dongle because if they're doing it on x299 yeah get like two more
49:25
minutes uh if they're doing it on x299 then they're probably going to do it on
49:28
the server side too right you I I guess
49:32
they could probably go both ways right if you're if you're already paying the Enterprise Solutions on on the on the
49:38
server side of things maybe it would be implemented but then again that kind of sucks too I mean because then you're
49:42
talking about double standards in terms of of their of of their
49:47
just uh their mentality regarding how
49:50
how they want to implement and roll out this stuff to me this honestly feels like they just were caught off guard by
49:55
a lot of of things happening in the industry right now and I feel like what
49:59
has kind of flipped on them a little bit is their official response regarding
50:04
ryen was they felt like the consumers are going to take a weit and see mentality regarding how well they want
50:08
to adopt ryzen I I feel like everyone jumped on ryzen and now everyone wants
50:12
to wait and see with Intel yep because
50:15
and that is such an ignorant like why would why would people wait and see wait
50:19
and see what you're either building a computer or you're not yeah and of
50:23
course ryz in like every other new launch had some had some growing pain in
50:26
the start but so did x99 you know and so I mean it's one of those things where
50:30
like today and that was a big thing I asked a lot of the the motherboard
50:33
manufacturers and odms out there at at compex was are things better on ryzen
50:38
now and they all really assured me like yeah things have matured the drivers are
50:41
good the memory stability and support is there um compatibility is is good and
50:46
they they basically were telling me like hey you should you should maybe try out ryzen a bit again because I did it for
50:51
the first 30 days at lunch had a couple of weird idioc secrecies there but then
50:55
I just kind of moved on to my Intel system which is already together and I
50:58
use it for work but I find myself now like okay I should probably I should
51:04
take another crack at it but I I would love to see the Threadripper stuff only
51:07
because like just like your workflow it's like I would I could take advantage
51:11
of all those cores yeah um but even the 1800x is is a good is a good place to to
51:16
to look at for absolutely cheap Enterprise solution I wouldn't convert
51:21
all of our editing machines over anytime soon just because like I mean you know
51:25
what we're going to have a video coming out where we roll all of our editing
51:28
machines up to 10 core 6950 XS M and
51:33
already on our Early Access people are like yo what what the heck Intel has new
51:37
stuff what about Threadripper what about this what about that stability is
51:41
important and I'm I I've responded there and I'll respond proactively now to
51:46
everybody else um it is no
51:49
coincidence that about 6 months or 4
51:52
months before x99 launched all our
51:56
editing machines moved to 4960x on x79
52:01
yeah there is something to be said for something that is powerful enough and
52:05
has had three years to work out all the
52:08
potential issues when you're talking about a workstation for what we do for
52:12
what we do maturity is way better for us
52:16
than just raw power and cutting edge bleeding edge technology they call it bleeding edge for a reason yeah and if
52:20
it was for myself no problem I'll run whatever random crap beta drivers
52:25
whatever but if I have a room of not necessarily techy people that are going
52:28
to come to me every time there's an issue with it yeah no man and like the
52:32
6950x isn't new either uh no it's not
52:35
upgrade immediately when it launched I'm doing exactly the same thing I'm going
52:39
at the end of the platform cycle and I have no problem with that out of
52:43
curiosity um what's your take on 6950x
52:47
versus 7900k then or excuse me 6900k so
52:52
any particular reason the exq um because the whole upgrade was sponsored by Intel
52:57
and if I can ask for anything I want I might as well take the 6950x it does
53:01
perform in my benchmarking I did a whole video on this a while back marginally
53:05
better got
53:08
it marginally plus plus it just it X
53:11
just sounds cooler yeah that's that's why they have X on all the new ones
53:15
anyway thanks Jay um I have to give the people what they want guys if you love
53:20
Jay then you can check him out over at youtube.com/ js2 cents that's Jay with a
53:25
zed not to be confused with Jay-Z that guy has a dash Jay's does not um also
53:31
over on Twitter at uh Angry Tech man who's who's salty
53:37
about Stu no wait what what is your Twitter handle again it's at js2 cents
53:41
right yeah I I'm I'm cross branded properly
53:45
hey had enough of your crap man all right anyway so guys go check out Jay
53:49
over there thanks Jay for coming on the show and I'm sorry I have to kind of kick you off now everyone watch episode
53:54
four go yes do that all right thanks for having
53:58
me okay thanks man I'm just going to hang up no
54:03
problem Boop all right so this is it my friends
54:10
this is your last chance for Q&A with the one the only
54:17
Nikki V who has some of his Civic cake with
54:22
him so this was a this was a parting gift for for the one and only Nikki ve
54:27
it's his last day today it's a uh it's a cake in the shape of the of the Civic it
54:32
looks pretty good it's a very good Recreation homemade Ivon homemade yeah
54:37
and it's good cake too except one Minor Detail that I can't leave out yes these
54:41
tires these are brown and you know that
54:45
the rims on that thing are orange but I noticed I saw in a recent picture that
54:49
your Civic uh rims are looking a little faded these days mhm I don't think we
54:54
did enough coats the rims are a little faded
54:57
you know want to know something funny about the Civic how long do you think
55:00
it's been since we painted it uh it was in the spring I think no I don't know
55:04
maybe a year and a half year okay so
55:09
um we moved in here I think 2 years ago
55:14
so it's been almost 2 years that's a long time that car has not been washed
55:19
yeah inside or out oh I know inside in
55:22
that time so if the paint were to be damaged or faded wow it makes sense then
55:28
but you know what I think maybe maybe the maybe the rims aren't fading though
55:32
maybe they're just covered in dirt but how are those windshield wipers holding
55:35
up they are most excellent they're most excellent well there you go okay we got
55:39
the questions rolling in who is going to prank Dennis now who are you handing the
55:43
mantle over to I would say who's got the capability I think you have the pranking
55:48
capability but you don't have the time I think Colton has the time but doesn't
55:53
have the ability maybe Colton maybe he's the the next prankster but I don't know
55:58
I think there's some people who could set up a pretty good prank all right and
56:02
of course the number one question we'll get this out of the way so people ask
56:05
other questions where are you going I am going to the lonus tech tips of biking
56:12
called pinkbike.com it's like if you didn't know what bike like if you
56:16
weren't really a mountain bike or anything you probably wouldn't know about it but if you had stepped foot on
56:21
a mountain bike or if you've ever bought one or anything like that it is like the
56:25
The Hub it's like the the only source there's other websites but this is sort
56:28
of the OG gangster ass website that started in Calgary and then kind of like
56:34
grew as the sport became a sport from nothing so pretty pretty awesome so this
56:39
is as much a question for me as anyone else what exactly will you be doing
56:42
there I'll be uh making videos um I'll
56:46
be running around with a guy named Brett Tippy he's like I would say the only
56:51
person I know that is comparable in energy level to you I would have to I
56:55
would I would run a poll like if people who know knew both both
57:00
people I don't know who has more energy you or him so it would be it would be a
57:04
pretty pretty good uh pretty good battle but uh I'll be making videos and doing
57:09
some web content and stuff for them and and uh you know all things biking just
57:13
trying to uh share my love of biking
57:16
with the world you know so I'm pretty excited we got someone asking will you
57:21
collab will I collab there's not a lot of overlap but I don't think it's I saw
57:26
the overlap and I've seen it with my very own eyes it's it would be a Teran
57:31
ebike thing of course oh Lord but ebikes are now like ebikes have always just
57:36
been like kind of a laughing joke of mountain biking like no who wants to
57:39
ride an ebike but they're getting lighter yeah they're getting lighter and they're making them more like off-road
57:44
capable and now there's some ebikes that are like uh somebody was explaining it
57:49
like the whole stigma around them is that they're stupid they're unnecessary
57:52
it's just the bike industry invol like innovating to make people spend more
57:56
money on that they don't need sorry I said I swore on here um but the uh
58:02
what am I going to do fire you yeah I guess so you could today hey you could
58:06
pull the Luke on me today um the one time I actually fire someone and it
58:11
actually means anything but uh they're getting better in like the regard that
58:16
somebody was somebody explained it to me really well and they're like well you know how Downhill Racing oh I'm Falling
58:21
Away Downhill Racing and stuff is always like really intense and whatever but now
58:25
you could have it where you know you're riding downhill and that's all scary and
58:29
stuff but then you're also like really accelerating uphill which is kind of awesome too okay so what's going to
58:34
happen to the Nikki V character we've got people asking about that I don't
58:38
know do we spoil it I don't know I don't know what happens I actually don't know
58:42
well we we do know what happens I know things aren't looking good for him you
58:46
know he's been If he if he doesn't die from you know health issues from all
58:51
that pain inhalation and uh you know drinking sauce and and all these sorts
58:56
of things that are just really not you know going to make you into a healthy
59:00
person I think uh he's going to suffer some serious health complications in the
59:03
future but you know that's just for me I don't know he probably has another uh
59:07
opinion on that one of these let's see what else we
59:11
got coming in here is there a YouTube channel that Nicki V will be on and I
59:16
think they mean Nick Van burkel of course if you mean me I'm not going to
59:19
try and beat that character to death I've tried to keep it as minimal as like
59:23
I know there's lots of it but it's something that can very easily be
59:27
overdone I'll just Tred to do it once in a while I probably won't be doing that
59:31
on my channel but if you want to see my my personal YouTube channel that has
59:35
always existed that you should have known about if you wanted to see it it's
59:39
just called Burl and I post a video there like probably two times a year if
59:43
that maybe once a year maybe I'll put some more up I don't know but like when
59:48
you do videos full time for a YouTube channel sometimes you like don't really
59:54
have time or energy to work on your own channel so it kind of gets neglected
59:59
okay I've got a tough one I'm going to put you on the spot Shan's potion asks
60:03
what is your favorite memory at
60:07
LMG H favorite memory probably most
60:10
intense memory was that prank where you robbed the house and because that was
60:15
like five things at once it was we had a good day like actually painting the car
60:21
this is all in the same day we went to Linus's house at like 9:00 a.m. or
60:24
something started painting the car then we did something else we played
60:28
badminton or something we ate pizza it was like a great summer day we come back
60:33
and then all of this crap goes down with the with the robbery and like I was I've
60:38
never been so fooled and so pranked in my life that I like I was like I don't
60:44
think anyone ever B you again no I don't think so I don't think so Dennis tried
60:48
to get me with that Tinder prank and he almost did like the one where it was
60:51
like somebody messaging me about like uh like hey it's blah blah blah from Tinder
60:57
and then I was like wait I have a Tinder but I'm very like uninvolved in the
61:02
actual conversation part I just literally have it it's almost like a game I don't use it or like I use it but
61:06
I don't like follow up but then I was like what the hell and then immediately
61:10
after I'm like closing my phone that's when Dennis comes by with the camera
61:14
like got you I was like no you didn't I I knew this all along so we've got a lot
61:19
of people asking about LTX and occasional guest spots and I'll kind of
61:23
jump in this is some these are two things or at least one of them that
61:26
we've discussed and I think it's kind of like um this is an amicable breakup but
61:32
it's still a breakup so I don't think either side is really talking about like
61:36
you know here what are all the things that we're going to do together in the
61:41
future the door is not being closed no and I don't think I don't think uh
61:46
anyone's saying that they would refuse to walk through a door that was open
61:49
we're just we're kind of going
61:52
okay we're going our separate ways and everything
61:56
everything's good there's cake um it's been a hell of a ride um it's actually
62:01
crazy looking back at it because now it seems like not a long time but then when
62:05
you think of all the things that we've done in the meantime been crazy there's
62:08
been like years worth of the pace that we go at here I think is like maybe some
62:12
other places like 5 10 years of work that's the amount of memories are you
62:16
expecting a slower Pace cuz like I was you know I don't know I've done a lot of
62:20
reflecting like I'm thinking about know like Germany like the Mexico trip which
62:25
was like M hectic it felt like we were down there for months but like looking
62:29
back at it there was actually a lot of like crazy kind of fun stuff and like I
62:33
do think some of the stuff is the same Pace like I um I've worked with these
62:37
guys once before in California and it was really high Pace but the one funny
62:41
thing was like because I'm so used to like a crazy crazy turnaround that we've
62:46
had here for the last I don't know 3 years m going to do something where it's
62:50
like okay this is going to be a stressful event you got to get like you
62:54
got to get a like two videos done today I was like oh no problem I've been doing
62:58
this every day for like the last 3 years it feels like this shouldn't this should
63:01
be a breeze but I don't know everything's new challenge so uh I don't
63:05
know Pace will probably be pretty high whatever you do you set the pace right
63:09
so maybe I'll burn myself out of that oh
63:12
sorry will there be a replacement editor actually I mean this is something that
63:17
it comes down to sort of responsible business management you know um Nick had
63:22
cut back to 60% earlier this year so we
63:25
had already proactively hired an additional editor just in case um cuz I
63:30
mean it's not been a secret ever that
63:33
your passion is biking and snowboarding um like I remember someone
63:39
I'm not going to name any names but someone before we hired you said I'm not
63:44
sure how long he'll last his real passion is biking and snowboarding
63:47
videos that's funny um I mean you you
63:52
came into a group where you already knew a lot of the people and they obviously knew you fair well M um so remember I I
63:59
remember even when the job was offered I turned it down and then
64:03
said I'm not going to take this job and then you're like you know what come down
64:08
and then I was convinced easily that's it a high five yeah never G me a hug
64:13
nope what what are we supposed to hug on wow dude you can hug on you can do
64:18
anything you want on W show as Long's yeah yeah or if we
64:26
oh all right Bud all right
64:30
dude get out of here Colton dude you're Crossing line people are asking what's
64:35
going to happen to Channel Super Fun um we don't know actually Channel Super Fun
64:40
Nick or not Nick has had kind of had some challenges over the last couple of
64:45
years we don't know if it makes any sense um the entire twitch chat is
64:49
cringing so hard Colton so thank you for that that was the most awkward hug since
64:54
like my Uncle have you ever se you see me hug my
64:59
wife I don't know I don't know and have
65:02
a great weekend see you later Colton bye guys um yeah well cuz it Channel super
65:08
changed so much because it was it started out as just a side thing for fun
65:12
when there was downtime or like a side thing to try something out that didn't
65:15
fit on the other channels then it kind of turned into like oh crap these
65:19
numbers are actually getting pretty good this might be a legitimate Channel and
65:23
then like taking the different sure I don't know what these are they're good
65:27
ohap buffalo bacon literal piece of bacon right on um yeah it Chang so much
65:34
that you know you don't want to keep beating something to death if it isn't
65:39
like organically growing so I think just maybe a different approach or whatever
65:42
like we noticed that over the past little bit mhm but there's some good
65:47
Golden Era uh Channel Super Fun episodes that I still love so
65:53
much Carolina Reaper jerky I I've have eaten all of that jerky I'll tell you
65:57
one thing it is delicious there's one of them though that like just killed the
66:01
insides of me it's too hot like you feel
66:05
it like everywhere it just destroys your
66:08
your entire insides so watch out for that
66:12
one um all right I don't see I don't
66:16
actually see much else here they want you to bring lonus cat tips back yeah I
66:21
yeah I don't see how often do you sprinkle water on that growing flower
66:26
growing oh I I don't remember the last
66:29
time I uploaded something there to be honest it's just like it's so it comes
66:33
down to when you're busy making videos for like a real Channel MH cuz the idea
66:39
behind line is cat tips was it would just be me like tooling around at home like playing with my cats or whatever
66:43
and like the last thing I want to do when I have a minute to like sit down
66:47
and like cuddle with my cat it's like get a camera like I I don't want to look
66:52
at a camera well that's been the same thing with like my my channel I like
66:55
I've always just put randoms whatever project I had been working on that I
66:59
needed to put somewhere on that YouTube channel of mine but yeah like when
67:03
you're if your week consists of like shooting and editing when you get off
67:08
work and you're like oh okay I need to go do something outside or something
67:11
like anything not related to what I've just been sitting and doing for the last
67:15
you know eight nine whatever hours yeah it's kind of hard to like make a video
67:20
at that point but sometimes you can we got people asking if you're going to
67:24
make a goodbye video if you're going to do final touchups on the uh the
67:27
Lamborghini and to that I will say we have something special in mind as a
67:32
final as a final video so stay tuned
67:36
this won't be the last time you see him but this is the last time you'll physically be in the building this is
67:41
the last time I'll be live that's right I'm
67:45
live are you going to become a daily vlogger I I so hope that nobody thinks
67:51
that that's what that to me like I'm like I hope nobody thinks I'm going to
67:55
like go and try and be all right now my main focus is my YouTube channel where
67:59
I'm going to daily Vlog my like no that's such a sad like spin-off thing I
68:05
see so many people do that like I don't know I I can't I don't know anyone's
68:10
name in particular but it's like and then they make the first video is like
68:13
why I left BuzzFeed or whatever and it's
68:17
like that video will probably do well because people be like oh why did this
68:21
dude leave whatever and then they watch it and then it's like then you can't
68:24
follow that up with like oh this is what I ate this morning
68:29
