[713.90 --> 718.78] You'd have to get the mic out of the package, put it on the stand.
[719.08 --> 720.76] It's just, don't get me started.
[720.92 --> 727.78] You know what's really funny is when Linus Media Group first started, I would go into the NCIX studio.
[728.18 --> 733.96] And I would be very envious of all of the equipment that NCIX Tech Tips had.
[734.00 --> 736.32] That was just like strewn around in random places?
[736.32 --> 737.28] Just in general.
[737.52 --> 739.16] Like, there was so much gear.
[739.48 --> 739.60] What?
[740.20 --> 741.70] Oh, you mean in the early days?
[741.70 --> 744.56] Yeah, like when Linus Media Group first started.
[744.70 --> 747.00] I thought you were talking about like when I was there.
[747.06 --> 748.14] I was like, what are you talking about?
[748.14 --> 750.56] We had one camera, two lights.
[750.84 --> 751.08] Right.
[751.18 --> 752.58] We owned one microphone.
[753.02 --> 759.66] Meanwhile, NCIX Tech Tips had like wireless microphones and like this high tech stuff.
[759.76 --> 760.18] Oh, yeah.
[760.46 --> 762.84] NCIX at the forefront of technology.
[762.84 --> 763.10] Yeah.
[763.34 --> 766.50] And then it was just, it was fun.
[766.70 --> 772.30] The contrast at the end there when I went to the NCIX bankruptcy auction.
[772.48 --> 773.24] You felt like good.
[773.30 --> 773.98] You're like walking in.
[774.06 --> 775.80] You're like, these guys ain't got anything.
[775.86 --> 779.64] And your guys' primary microphone, which was a Rode NTG2, right?
[779.66 --> 780.02] That's right.
[780.06 --> 780.20] Yeah.
[780.24 --> 783.68] Your guys' primary microphone was sitting there up for auction.
[784.16 --> 785.48] Oh, right at the auction?
[785.48 --> 786.42] Yeah, it was up for auction.
[786.52 --> 787.66] I wanted to go to the auction.
[787.66 --> 790.44] And I was like, oh, Quaint and NTG2.
[790.54 --> 791.28] I remember those.
[791.48 --> 792.22] Or is it NT2?
[792.60 --> 793.42] NT2 or NTG?
[793.56 --> 794.08] I think it's NT.
[794.08 --> 795.00] I think it was NTG2.
[795.18 --> 795.58] Is it NT?
[795.70 --> 796.00] Whatever.
[796.14 --> 796.56] Pretty sure.
[797.66 --> 798.58] You're going to Google that?
[798.62 --> 798.82] Yeah.
[799.46 --> 801.66] Rode NT...
[801.66 --> 802.56] NTG2.
[802.62 --> 803.48] I think it is NTG2.
[803.52 --> 803.86] Okay, good.
[804.14 --> 804.54] Well, anyway.
[804.82 --> 805.98] Anyway, I was like, oh, Quaint.
[806.26 --> 807.30] We have a couple of those.
[807.34 --> 808.88] I don't think we've used them in a while.
[809.10 --> 809.98] In a while.
[809.98 --> 811.68] Oh, perhaps we should...
[811.68 --> 813.90] We could have it as an antique on set.
[814.20 --> 815.54] Perhaps we should buy it.
[815.76 --> 816.82] NTG2 is still really good.
[816.82 --> 819.88] And perhaps we should buy their employees as well.
[820.84 --> 821.72] Well, one of them...
[821.72 --> 822.58] Well, one of them anyway.
[822.72 --> 823.72] You've had a few of them now.
[823.96 --> 824.14] Yeah.
[824.24 --> 824.68] Have I?
[824.82 --> 825.28] Well, Ivan.
[825.44 --> 825.76] Oh, yeah.
[825.82 --> 826.20] That's right.
[826.24 --> 826.70] We have Ivan.
[826.80 --> 829.54] Although he didn't, strictly speaking, work for the Tech Tips team.
[829.92 --> 831.50] What the heck did Ivan do?
[831.64 --> 835.00] He was actually helping with a lot of the scripts at the end of the...
[835.00 --> 836.30] Was he even getting paid for that?
[836.92 --> 837.90] Oh, well, I don't know.
[837.90 --> 839.76] He was getting paid to do his job.
[840.02 --> 844.34] I don't know if that was strictly part of his job description, but he definitely helped
[844.34 --> 847.78] a lot, especially with graphics card reviews and stuff.
[847.88 --> 848.20] Right.
[848.76 --> 849.08] Yeah.
[849.94 --> 850.80] Love that guy.
[851.26 --> 852.76] So how's it going at Linus Media Group?
[852.90 --> 854.84] I don't think we ever did a mid-year review for you.
[854.92 --> 855.26] Yeah, we did.
[855.64 --> 856.04] You know what?
[856.10 --> 856.36] Did we?
[856.54 --> 859.50] That's probably the longest conversation we've had is when you...
[859.50 --> 860.16] Oh.
[860.36 --> 861.42] Oh, we must have done years early.
[861.42 --> 862.00] ...rated my performance.
[862.38 --> 862.94] Oh, okay.
[863.02 --> 863.28] Okay.
[863.32 --> 863.56] Okay.
[863.56 --> 864.34] So how's it going?
[864.40 --> 864.82] Are you happy?
[865.24 --> 866.04] I'm very happy.
[866.58 --> 868.08] You can tell them if you're not happy.
[868.16 --> 868.50] It's fine.
[868.50 --> 873.96] Well, now I'm stressed because this is like another mid-year review right now.
[875.18 --> 876.42] No, I'm having a great time.
[876.56 --> 880.82] Honestly, it's really good to be able to do the tech news type of content again and make
[880.82 --> 881.46] stupid jokes.
[881.72 --> 882.36] Yeah, it's been fun.
[882.36 --> 883.80] And I get to heckle you.
[884.18 --> 884.60] Wait, no.
