i'll remember this day like i'll remember the first time i had a mouth
0:08
full of brussels sprouts it was march 11 2019 the time
0:14
10 20 a.m we had all gathered upstairs
0:17
to attend our usual weekly meeting talking about past and upcoming events
0:22
looking at memes the usual stuff
0:26
but this was not to be just any ordinary
0:29
meaning okay guys and uh
0:32
last order of business for monday morning meeting is
0:36
um everyone who's upstairs is going to
0:39
change places
0:48
i was petrified the mere thought of having to delay my
0:52
daily broadcast to indulge this undue
0:55
displacement had my heart pumping no one person or object would be left
1:01
untouched by what was about to transpire not even grandmaster la freniere
1:07
you're getting kicked out you're leaving
1:12
but i will kick myself out immediately afterwards i cried Linus Linus but he
1:17
could give no attention to my sorrow Linus media group would never be the
1:23
same again but first a word from our sponsor
1:27
thermaltakes a500 features a modern minimalist design with brushed aluminum
1:32
panels and dual hinge swing tempered glass doors check it out today at the
1:35
link below
1:44
having already displaced myself from the tepid editing den i decided i could
1:49
stand as witness to the ordeal somewhat it didn't take long for lioness
1:55
to lose control why are we making a pile of bean bags here
1:59
you said you don't know where to go i didn't say to do that Jake said the free
2:02
space was over here so we're moving in fact Jake had been planning for this all
2:07
along the voluptuous bean bags were his first
2:10
target their color palette would surely make for an excellent throne
2:16
all hail Jake media group
2:19
i knew this was coming but i didn't expect it would actually happen so
2:23
amidst all of the mockery chaos and confusion
2:27
little explanation was forthcoming we knew we had to do it and like good
2:32
soldiers we acted on orders but not knowing why so i realized i haven't
2:37
actually explained why we're doing this um with the new hiring wave we're going
2:42
to be adding a couple more people to the writing team so we were out of space over on that
2:46
side for writers and rather than split the writing team uh we figured the
2:50
writing team will take the bigger space and then the sales people and
2:54
administrative merchant people will go over there some of us were at the brink of insanity
2:59
you want to take 20 home Anthony sure
3:02
yeah yeah i don't i don't like any space in my home yeah who needs a bed who
3:06
needs a couch well those are good insulators too you
3:10
could replace your fridge with them just like put a couple ice packs in with your
3:14
food i'm literally taking it off others became compassionate you guys are both
3:19
going to share that well where else is that getting well i thought the point of you having an office was so you can make
3:23
calls all the time i'm down so am i kicking him out where does that go though for a minute you know what
3:28
you get 24 hours notice
3:33
am i moving my office Linus struggled to find meaning in it
3:38
all why are things just moving now this is going into my office i can move it
3:42
it's fine james where are you going because i know you were making comments
3:45
about staking out the best location and i said we hadn't
3:48
confirmed where you were going hey i'm just listening to Jake where should i go
3:52
what's the plan you know what i don't know just ask Jake
3:56
it was every man for himself these bean bags just get rid of them
4:00
Colton if you guys [ __ ] you you know i think everyone's all
4:04
fired up since the last time we did a vlog you know everyone's ready you know
4:07
to to conquer the day i wasn't the only one
4:11
concerned with the state of our real estate no one cared where they went at
4:15
all except me i was like look i don't want to be by the door i don't want to be by the bathroom i don't want to be by
4:19
the kitchen that leaves one logical spot we have to move the spot that Jake is
4:22
now in and Jake's the one who assigned the spots yes correct
4:29
rise up at this rate it wouldn't be long before Jake's reign would come crashing
4:34
down as i became more and more distraught i
4:37
decided to take on discount luke
4:55
it could have been worse king Jake had decided that the cubicles
4:59
had to go i thought i didn't have to move at all but apparently i lost my my
5:03
shelter now anyone can just come and talk to me at any time oh very annoying the only
5:08
people you'll make random eye contact with is the spectral beings in that
5:11
window when the light is dim
5:14
being the good person that i am i offered assistance in the clean up of my
5:18
now wall-free dwelling as an editor who
5:22
has no stake in the upstairs how do you feel about this move
5:26
alex are you feeling good about this move ah it's okay
5:30
i don't entirely agree with Jake's plan but uh you know do you think the uh people
5:34
who'd had no decision-making should rise up and force Jake to get the worst spot
5:38
oh yes okay i like that idea hey james do you want to have Jake get the worst
5:42
spot i think writers should rise up
5:46
are you going to help you're just going to stand there it wouldn't be long before james belligerent behavior would
5:51
come to cost him his social status uh alex can i have a hand moving uh
5:57
jamie's desk i thought you wanted my help he's the new james now
6:03
now a sad recluse he still has not come
6:07
out of his office
6:11
i lied it was then that i discovered tyler's
6:14
true nature what are you helping out with right now tyler
6:17
i'm uh taking stuff off of these shelves nice
6:23
a-prime's new role didn't seem to be fitting him very well
6:32
oh don't know
6:36
for Linus the challenge would be amazing
6:39
honestly i think the hardest part is going to be my office
6:43
there is so much clutter in here no i didn't prep anything i didn't have time
6:48
okay i'm going to start with the vocal recording booth
6:55
but not everyone was feeling the pressure no one's prepared for this movie
6:58
there's no plan no one's prepared how's it make it feel
7:03
i'm fine it's just the labeling process is working as
7:07
intended tools that are going upstairs later
7:11
which is stored upstairs
7:16
Colton couldn't stop rationalizing his distaste with the very idea of dwelling
7:21
with his partner i was like okay maybe we need to move the desktop room and
7:25
he's like no i'm leaving what did you say to him i just said i'm sorry
7:29
and then now he's gone but then he left the table and the monitor for me to
7:32
clean up what a what a dick all right what's up you broke up with him in the first place i didn't do it last week we
7:37
were saying it could be an ongoing thing we just have to work it out you know
7:41
and then he broke up with me okay it became clear that there were gaps in
7:46
Jake's leadership drawings didn't account for those electrical boxes did they oh that's fine
7:50
you tried to be a god does it feel good to have the power no
7:55
everyone blaming you i want to
8:02
his meeting done luke was finally ready to join in on the chaos it's going to be
8:07
interesting because my screens can't be public because i
8:10
have employee information on it i don't know how i'm gonna solve that
8:14
but we'll figure it out meanwhile dennis was busy taking the
8:18
mineral oil pc for a walk
8:22
just give me a week
8:37
oh dennis it's around that time that Linus came to
8:41
realize that his fabulous desk was
8:44
trouble whoever came up with the concept of a desk pc you never really thought
8:49
about moving it actually
8:53
there's a certain advantage to modularity
8:56
holy crap the pain was crippling
9:00
i love this office he had never asked for this
9:04
you don't actually want to move well no i don't i love this office
9:10
the nostalgia dvds what is this 2002
9:14
what is this thankfully the mood was lightening up oh hey hold on a second
9:20
um admiring the beauty where are you putting it don't tell them we're
9:24
actually just gonna what i really want is this mat i think if i do that trick
9:27
where you go really fast i can just yeah yeah i can get it out yeah
9:31
three two one
9:34
you see that we were never gonna do it we weren't gonna do that double fisting
9:40
oh buddy every single
9:44
time that we use just tap water and builds people get super mad so we've
9:48
just had this one like bottle of ek cryo fuel and we just fill it up with tap
9:53
water and then pour it in so people don't like get super mad at us every
9:56
time holy i didn't believe that
10:03
wow pretty cool he's a magic man
10:06
this is how you lift with proper form okay we call these good mornings oh this
10:10
flex the cruelty i think things are going great so far
10:16
we began assembling shelves that would neatly divide the space to serve as
10:21
ideological barriers between the riders see if you get this reference
10:26
a computer and a car thanks mom and dad
10:30
queens i don't know most of the stupid
10:33
references meanwhile the glittery filing apparatus
10:38
was being relocated to its new
10:43
dwelling data yeah yeah or you can just
10:46
or you can just open the drawer
10:50
look at that glitter go all right do you have to turn this now
10:56
yeah just tilted my fingers at the bottom yeah yeah pretty
11:02
are you excited to have some daylight in your office um
11:05
yes it's really dark in there from the gray
11:08
though i kind of liked my think i was getting used to it you can paint your
11:12
office no it wasn't without fault it broke my final tablet i can't open it
11:17
well i think it was already like that no uh
11:21
no refunds call 911.
11:26
thankfully nick has experience breaking into people's homes so he came up with a
11:31
solution so i think there's only one thing to do to get your files back
11:36
at least in front of this
11:44
oh there we go i didn't even have to break it
11:52
that also happened to mend our fancy
11:55
hey good job
11:58
crowbars fix everything
12:02
the aftermath of moving a glitter covered file cabinet this video brought
12:06
to you by tyson all right
12:10
it's not actually but hey
12:20
now i realize that watching people move and assemble furniture is probably not
12:24
the most exhilarating use of your time but you've stuck with us this far so
12:30
bear with me here
12:33
oh hi i think i went too fast oh oh god
12:45
grab my legs pull
12:50
ah we're just grabbing Colton's nuts oh
12:54
geez you don't want this plant where do you want the plant no are there though
12:58
yes um if you could go kind of like spontaneously pretty awesome no
13:02
there there's a play though right yep okay you're welcome my morale just went
13:07
up like five percent that's great wow you must have started at a really low
13:11
point whoa is this real you don't even know this is my new desk and someone
13:15
broke it Colton you broke my desk and now you get your
13:20
own office yeah yeah i don't know i don't know it's a weird day what a dick
13:26
don't you want pictures of your friends like dennis and taryn
13:30
edzel john and question mark they're your friends now question mark we're
13:34
gonna keep you company in your new office no no no no this is yours i don't want to take this away i can't be my own
13:39
friend the space is finally coming together
13:42
all right there you go
13:46
there you go thank you thanks man heck yeah
13:50
you know there's still enough room for another rider
13:53
right here in a swiveling chair you just get a key mouse mounted to the chair
13:59
a monitor that comes out from your crotch and you just do your best work
14:03
and live your best life actually i'm gonna miss it
14:08
surprisingly it's so cheerful how are you gonna remember to live love and laugh
14:13
it's a shame nick won't fully embrace the glory of his space
14:20
you're trying to figure out my plan right now well you already succeeded in
14:23
kicking out ed i didn't mean to he literally was like like he saw he came
14:27
in and saw this layout he's like nope rob just stop and leave sounds like
14:32
Colton is still dwelling on the past move on Colton
14:37
it was so peaceful in here i was private i had protection
14:44
well i guess it's time to pretend that this video made any sense at all and
14:49
with that here's Linus all right so for better or for worse we're kind of done
14:54
i've decided this is where my desk is going and my bench is going to go over
14:57
here and i'm going to figure out i don't know i'll route the
15:01
networking table along there or something i don't know i'll figure it
15:05
out anyway riley's over here he's requisitioned three beanbags for his own
15:09
personal use along with his xl sized
15:12
desk and this is wait this is exactly where you were before Anthony now has
15:16
more desk face than ever before sort of all the shelves moved from
15:21
downstairs and are now up here i have no
15:24
idea what the plan is for this desk and then you can always tell
15:28
who was the coordinator for a move because for whatever reason Jake has two
15:33
desks two shelves i only have one though
15:36
james also has a shelf a plant that was alex's plant as alex's plant and then uh
15:41
alex also has a two desks
15:44
everyone ended up with more space i guess that's good
15:48
you want the Windows washed yeah they're really dirty yeah go for it
15:54
over here we've got lloyd's desk jono's desk
15:58
new Yvonne uh new Linus wow it's looking homey in
16:02
here is your computer working yet you've got them plugged into your
16:06
onboard video you do have onboard video but you just
16:10
also have a graphic number yay
16:13
solves giving people tech tips left and right now oh yeah this is flow plane now
16:18
high flow plane yeah
16:26
and he put his desk here which is like really stupid honestly and you haven't
16:31
was still in here ed was still in here and then he moved out i don't want to move it you have to get into your chair
16:36
sideways yeah and then turn it cause okay here's the deal here's what's
16:40
actually happening though the couch is gonna go right there everybody's gonna
16:43
be able to put their head against the electrical panel here using the tv
