it's not every day that someone shows up at the door saying they have a cake to
0:04
deliver that requires two people to carry it but when those days occur well
0:10
you know what I say I say it's time for another
0:14
episode of the mail room oh no it's stuck to his
0:28
face the GTX 1080 classified Edition
0:32
from EVGA utilizes their ACX 3.0 cooler
0:36
and offers enhanced power distribution learn more at the link in the video
0:45
description oh I'm probably ruining it I'm probably ruining it no I'm
0:48
definitely ruining it oh
0:51
okay okay so it's fairly obvious from the start who sent this it looks like
0:57
our friends over at LG are up to their usual tricks that's a
1:03
fairly recognizable Signature Series G6
1:06
TV something I'm actually working on my review of at this very moment and let's
1:11
see what other tricks they've got up their
1:20
sleeves wow that is something oh no way they've
1:29
got the lambo one here so they've got the lonus tech tips logo they've got the
1:35
Lamborghini complete with orange rims wow that is hard I don't even know if
1:39
that's edible what at this thing that's it's definitely fondant not the most
1:43
delicious uh not the most delicious type of cake but uh certainly the one that
1:47
you can do stuff like this with I guess got a smartwatch in there and then
1:53
this is kind of interesting so these
1:56
look identical to a pair of salt shakers
2:00
that my parents got for me and my wife
2:05
because I'm white and she's not quite so white and they hug together but I don't
2:10
know how they could have possibly known that unless they're also making the same
2:14
joke I'd say probably the most incredible part of this cake though is
2:18
the stunning accuracy with which they have rendered my
2:23
sandals see it's basically a perfect likeness although you oh you know what
2:28
hold on I realized I wasn't wearing my work
2:33
sandals today see now it's bang on I'm
2:37
supposed to change into my indoor shoes when I get to the office but I forgot
2:40
this morning so our first package is from jewels from France one of the he
2:46
admitted it himself terrible people who found my phone number on the internet
2:50
and called me out of nowhere but it's okay I forgive you because this is
2:54
freaking sick look at this it's a lonus
2:57
tech chips onesie 0 to 3 months the
3:01
timing is perfect because hopefully he knows this otherwise if he thinks this
3:06
is my size I have a baby coming in 6
3:10
weeks now freaking awesome what else we
3:13
got in here some French
3:19
candies some other more different French candies all right we got some caramel
3:28
candies and what's in our last bag
3:33
here oh that's awesome my baby won't
3:36
have to wear anything but lonus Tech tips branded apparel exactly the way it
3:42
should be done thank you very much
3:47
Jules this one sounds like it might not have survived the
3:58
journey oh fascinating so this is from
4:02
an anonymous sender who saw my video
4:06
recommending that people not pop the lids off of their Intel processors you
4:11
can check out that video here who found a cheap
4:17
tool that enables you to safely and
4:20
easily do it so there you have it I now
4:24
have my very own Intel CPU delting
4:28
tool
4:35
ooh gift wrapping how
4:39
pretty no card
4:48
though a Zen watch
4:52
2 what an odd thing to send this isn't
4:56
here the Google Store Highline we
4:59
noticed that your ASUS zenat 2 didn't survive your scuba dive so we wanted to
5:04
hook you up with a new one
5:08
oh so when I was filming The Saltwater phone depth challenge I
5:13
inadvertently left on my zenwatch 2 which actually lasted for most of the
5:17
dime which was pretty impressive and I posted a picture later on social media
5:21
showing how incredibly dead it was well thank you Google store and thank you
5:26
also for the very tasteful
5:30
towel that I will surely wear to all of
5:33
the fanciest occasions that I
5:39
attend oh that is very cool so Thomas
5:43
along with a couple of questions one why did AMD go with RX instead of R9 it's
5:48
because X is a Roman numeral 10 for their newest generation graphics cards
5:52
and another about why does Apple name their products the same thing year after
5:55
year which I unfortunately can't answer sent me a couple of not a couple of
6:01
sorry one of these is a piece of wood but a like a a wood burning impression
6:05
of my lonus jobs profile picture that is
6:09
absolutely fantastic next up is something really
6:13
really cool this is from actually our subtitling group for China that does all
6:19
the captioning on the videos that we upload on Billy Billy and yuku and this
6:24
is the past indicator they actually came and visited us here to hand deliver this
6:29
one but I still wanted to include it on the mail room because this thing is
6:32
actually just incredible so they're using authentic tubes from the 60s to
6:38
the 80s these were used as readouts for
6:42
scientific um for scientific instruments they had
6:47
uh they actually set it up for me ahead of time but look at that all the
6:53
characters are in a separate plane
6:56
inside the tube and then it illuminates them with a
7:01
clock inside these are Handmade by some Russian company they have a promotional
7:05
YouTube video so freaking cool they've
7:08
never had one of them fail which is pretty neat and they've made I think
7:11
2,000 clocks now this was a very
7:14
surprising and Incredible Gift so closing out the packages we have a
7:19
bottle of Blair's death sauce that is
7:22
apparently for Taran unfortunately he's out of the office today but I'll be sure
7:26
to pass that along to him as well as has
7:30
some letters so we've got uh the guy who sent me the 50p coin with the Kappa face
7:35
on it and the long letter from last time uh asking me to follow him on Twitter
7:40
best of luck with that we've got this weird one that had like a a meme inside
7:46
and uh a request to listen to his
7:49
mixtape from someone from Oakville no
7:52
return address on that one cuz he's a sausage sausage Savage rather sorry our
7:58
next one is from Del India it kind of blows me away whenever
8:02
people who live in countries where English isn't even the dominant language
8:07
are writing in to tell me about how much they love the show that is freaking
8:11
awesome I got a really cute kind of it's
8:14
kind of a postcard is shape thing but it doesn't look like a postcard from a
8:19
12-year-old Jonathan who apparently just
8:22
loves what we're doing and has his own YouTube channel Mike from Ireland writes
8:27
in to tell us that we are class which is a slang that I am not personally
8:31
familiar with but I think he probably knew that given the whole as we say an
8:35
Ireland bit at the end and finally a
8:39
letter oh this is from the same guy who sent in the uh the Blair's chili sauce
8:43
this is from Edward nardella who actually used a typewriter to send me
8:50
snail mail I mean if that is not if that
8:54
is not dedication to getting a message to me then I don't know what is actually
8:59
okay hold on a second I lied I do have one more letter this is from Nitro blast
9:05
