0:00 desert. They're in the desert and they're doing this thing and then they got a little girl with a bunny rabbit. Cool. >> Joe, why don't you have a movie review channel? [Music] >> Okay. Have you guys seen all this like a day in the life videos where people like take you through a job? >> Mhm. So there's a lot of like controversy about it right now because people are like is this just like the end of corporate bloat almost in a way. >> Oh because like all those people that work those cozy tech jobs have nothing to do but like show you. >> It just looks like they don't go around during co and everyone's making fun of them cuz they're like >> at 9:00 a.m. I go in I eat a breakfast and at 10:00 p.m. like and it's like they're never working. Like you did

0:51 yoga. You did. So what the when do you actually do any work? >> So this is exactly so so this is still going on, right? So this was just posted from a chick who works at Roblox, which if you have a kid, you already know what the hell that is. Bart, if he was here, >> popular game >> he would have known. So here we go. So here's a chick who works at Roblox. Probably watches JK News, maybe. Hopefully. I hope. >> Ever wondered what Roblox employees eat every day? Well, today I'm visiting my cousin Gary, and I'm about to experience the tech bro life myself. We started with their in-house cafe which serves fancy lattes and even matcha. So, I ended up getting the strawberry matcha which was so good. And then we went up to their buffet stop which had the classic salad and sandwich bars plus housemade soups. And they even have stations with rotating menus and today was Japanese style soup. The most shocking part was they have a dedicated stonefired pizza station. Another thing is Roblox is serious about their employees health. So, their drink fridge

1:41 was packed with tea, vitamin waters, fresh juices, and smoothies. snacks like dried fruits, protein bars, and yogurt. But as the pastry chef, you know, I was here to judge the desserts. My mind was blown. They had bakery quality dessert. I expected cookies or brownies, but this was next level. Now I finally get why everyone wants to be a tech bro. Roblox is not just for kids, it's for adults, too. Ever wondered what Roblox >> So, does this make you guys hate Roblox a little bit? >> I mean, JK was kind of like that. >> Remember that? >> Little bit. Yeah, a little bit. >> Not that fancy >> touches. Not fancy, but yeah, we we try to live fun. >> At least they take care of their employees. >> Yeah, that's cool. >> That's ████ cool. I've always wanted to be in a job with ████ cafes and stores in the bottom, so you never have to get your own coffee before you head to work, you know? >> Oh, yeah. You think it's a good You think it's a good thing? >> I think it's a good thing. >> Yeah. >> I went to the Google campus in Santa

2:31 Monica and I was mind blown at like, dude, they had beer on tap. >> They had like >> I was like, >> this is crazy. I would never leave the lunchroom. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I was at Facebook before it got bought by them. And the same thing. I was just like, "Dude, what the >> like you open the It's just Red Bulls everywhere. Everything you want, sandwiches, salads, everything. It's just like right there. Just grab it." >> I'm like, "There's so many distractions. How do they get work done?" But maybe >> the type of people that get hired there are just workaholics anyway. So, I don't know. >> I didn't think that, but maybe. You never know. >> Yeah. I think when you think of the point of view of like cuz we have friends that work in recruiting and uh those are like you know the things where they have to steal someone from YouTube to bring him over to this company or

3:21 whatever or Snapchat to this. The incentive to leave is like really ████ hard. Like most of the time they love where they're at. Sometimes they won't even take the job for double the pay because they just like where they are. >> So like a big part of why you won't leave probably is amenities like uh you know in addition to everything else. But then I understand why they have to build such a impressive layout of everything because they want the allegiance to be so strong or they want the to be so attractive that when you are getting like tons of calls all the time about hey we want to take you over here and instead like >> more reason to say no, right? That you're not >> it's a great recruiting thing for sure. >> Or maybe it's a way to just keep people working all day because it's like you never have to leave. >> Well, that's the idea that they have, right? Like if you have corporate lunches where they pay for your lunch, you're more likely to just like spend less time on lunch and you're already in the building. >> Yeah. What the heck?

4:12 >> No. What What are you talking about? >> Oh, it's a cricket doll. ████ That's the same ████ we were talking about earlier. >> What you talking about? >> Play games. >> I didn't ████ hear anything actually. >> Anyway, so Google's probably pretty chill to work at. >> I'll tell Subie because he thinks like >> I didn't do that. I don't know where that cricket thing came from. Can't believe you think that, dude. >> I agree. I agree. I agree. I agree with you. >> Okay. >> There's another way that tech companies make money. And we were talking about this earlier where like a lot of them don't make profit, but then they keep getting investments from different investment groups that join in, right? And they need to spend the budget. So, a lot of tech, like when Elon bought Twitter, he was like, "We don't need half of these employees. What the f███?" Right? And then he did a massive fire >> and the media made fun of them at the

5:02 time. >> But then that's because >> Twitter's over like in in 30 days. Remember that >> each department needs to justify their budget. So they some companies have a use it or lose it like you know budget where it's like oh well the ████ marketing needs another like 2 million you know and then look at all the people we have >> corporate expense. >> There's a lot there's a lot of that going on too for sure. >> Yeah. So, there's like a lot of corporate ways because there's ways to uh I don't know there's there's other ways but making profit where they funnel the money from investors. >> But is this you think this is good for Roblox to have a a person doing this like or or am I over overthinking this? >> No. >> Are you Doc Brownie? Hardy. >> That's too much dick sucking. >> Well, that spread is >> ████ I'm sorry. I ████ love you. >> What' you say? I said the ghost thrusted

5:53 his hips in Steve's mouth. If >> I was sucking on dicks, dude, then this would be more viscous, brother. >> Understand that? >> There'd be way more spit build up. My >> yo, I'm sorry. >> It seems like very common that any company as it grows adds value to their own thing by making ████ more extravagant like that. Look at ████ Kinjas. That complex. That's just insane. >> Complex for two months. >> Wow, man. >> Well, that spread is elaborate, right? That spread is super elaborate. But like >> if you do think about how much you can save if you were if you're an employee, you're like, I don't have to go to >> lunch. I don't have a track. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> I save time. I don't have to drive away, but I I also don't have to pay for it. >> It's kind of cool. Yeah. >> Also, Roblox has untold sums of money. >> That ████ That s███'s nothing, >> dude. That is nothing. >> There's parents right now who are still

6:43 paying a bill cuz a a kid accidentally spent like $3,700 on it. >> For real. >> Legit. It's almost comedic how much money Roblox all skins >> and the kids will just take their parents' phone and just like or the iPad and just go and just >> Yeah. And the parents are >> That's true. Cuz the other thing about tech too is you can make hella money and you don't need that many employees. >> So like >> Well, you don't need material. You're selling digital ████ >> Freaking amazing. >> What are they going to spend their budget on? That's >> dude Anthony sometimes is literally sitting here and he's working on his iPad. He's working on like Fortnite like dance >> like emotes. You know what I'm talking about? Like I'm not even kidding. And and everyone thinks I'm roasting him right now. I'm not yet, but I will. But >> it's coming around. >> And he's like he'll be just sending them off and he's like making money off of that. >> Yeah. >> Like cuz >> Smack does that too. >> Yeah. >> Right. Smack was doing a bunch.

7:35 >> That's so tight. >> But yeah, like you don't have >> I got some emotes. >> He's not he's not in the corporate environment doing that stuff. He's just like here remotely doing it as third as a third party. >> Mhm. So dope. And those guys have crazy budgets, dude. >> Legit. >> And they pay so good. Like, and if you're thinking like from if that's one element like the person that's dancing and doing green screen, right? But like the person editing it, the person coordinating it, the person like there's just so many layers of everyone's getting paid good. >> There's a chain of command there, which is what's odd because like you would think like, oh, like a company like Riot Games or whatever. It would be weird if they paid low because they have so much money, but yet you have GTA that is notorious for paying >> Oh, true. >> ████ to like everybody to everybody. >> Like even the music rate stuff >> like they they lowball, >> but they're like they're a freaking

8:25 powerhouse of finance. Like you couldn't even believe >> they make billions and billions. >> Didn't they make No, I don't know if they made a billion the the debut, but they made a ████ ton of money. The GTA 5 when they debuted they broke records. It was like a 100 mil or something, >> dude. But GTA online has made them billions. >> Yeah, >> that's the cash cow, huh? >> Once it went online, >> cuz it's the same ████ You're buying skins. You're buying low. >> You're buying shark cards. >> Calling all creators out there, check this out. This one's for you. Do you like my hat? Isn't it cool? Do you like my shirt? High quality, too. If you're wondering, hm, how do I go and get merch for myself? And also, I have merch, but it sucks so bad. How do you get such good quality stuff done? I want to introduce y'all to my buddies over at Merch Labs. They are so legit. By the

9:18 way, here's my signature in 2011. Here's Barts. We've been working with them a long time, over a decade. They do merch for Love on the Spectrum guys, MMA fighters, people that you might recognize. There's a lot of legitimate people that put their trust in them. They take care of absolutely everything from setting up the shop, the designs, the customer service. I'm telling you, everything. All you got to do is be like, "This is my inspiration. This is my idea." And sometimes you don't even have to do that. They'll look at what you got going on and go, "You know what? Here are some suggestions that we think might fit really well with you. You have to just go try them." and it might be a really really great collaboration. And

10:08 on top of that, look at this. They print, they ship out, they hold everything inhouse, so everything goes out immediately. You don't have to wait and your customers stay happy. And best of all, there is no upfront fee and they could even get you on Tik Tok shop, too. There's a lot of capabilities here. So, go ahead, merchlabs.com/apply. message them, start chatting, and see if y'all are a great fit. Link is in the description box below if you just too tired to type it out. All right, now on to our video. >> That's it. >> To buy property >> so you can buy a Batmobile, but I didn't. I did it the hard way. >> That's why people were like, "Hey, why don't we make a GTA movie?" There's been several things where they're like, "Let's make a GTA movie." And then they just keep going. We m we would if that movie was the bestselling movie of that

10:59 year, >> we would make more than that >> in a game >> in in like a short ass period of time of just online sales without without doing anything different. >> Yeah. So they're like, why do that much work when they're just making that much just sitting back and the game is the movie >> and if the movie sucks, you bomb your IP. >> Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. >> So it's not worth it. >> It's like Borderlands bomb their IP. >> Exactly. They completely torched their IP. People hate the game and distrust the next one because the movie was so bad. That is crazy. That is crazy cuz then it makes it look like, oh, you now have a weird uh quality control issue and you're just letting bad ████ out. >> But the movie did look ████ >> I like I like the movie, but I never played the game. So, >> you liked it. >> The first one anyway. I didn't play any of >> Well, cuz it was my intro. I have I'm I'm I didn't know anything about it. >> You watch on the plane? >> Yeah. >> Oh, >> I didn't know anything about Border. I

11:49 was like, "Oh, that's that game thing." And then you go, "Oh, that's cool. The desert. They're in the desert and they're doing this thing." And then they got a little girl with the bunny rabbit. Cool. >> Joe, why don't you have a movie review channel? >> I'll do it. Joel's movie review. >> Yeah. I've been waiting for it. I want it. I need it. I love it. >> Movies made vague. >> Yeah. >> Hey, what's this movie in 7 seconds? >> All right. Tell me. Tell me. >> I just don't have time for anything. >> Yeah. Tell me. Tell me what Braveheart. Okay. There's this dude ████ Irish, Scottish. I don't know what the ████ he's doing, but he wants his country like saved and ████ And then like they come and then he then he gets his troop and then he he keeps it. >> 8 seconds. I'm telling you. >> Well done. >> Who wants to see that? Who wants to see that? >> I want to see it. >> I'd see it. >> It's a good movie. >> Well, who's in it? Who's in it? >> I like the how how many times you

12:39 >> Mel Gibson. >> I'm watching it. ████ Mel Gibson directing and acting in it. >> Hey, real quick. Men in Black. >> All right. you it's not two black guys, it's actually one white guy, one black guy, and there's aliens and ████ and they come in and then like aliens trying to take over the world, but then they always been here and ████ And then like the this is behind the scenes because they're like guys that are like trying to like just try to like keep the peace between aliens and humans. Perfect. >> My favorite part was they're not two black guys. It's actually black guy and like he's like he's trying to juice it cuz he's like I don't want to lose you. >> All right, now boys in the hood. >> All right, boys in the hood. So you think in the ghetto it's just a bunch of black people killing each other all day, but then like it's kind of true, but then they're actually like got real lives and stuff. You should like listen to the story because they're humans and they need to then we need to have a

13:29 heart and understand that like it's not easy. >> Do we need to put Joe in front of a red curtain >> like ████ Jeremy Jans, whatever the ████ that guy's name is. Put him in a black leather jacket >> and just have Joe just do this ████ in 10 seconds. >> And all the pretentious ████ artists, they're so mad at me. They're like, "You reduced it to that." >> Or or they think it's like avant guard what you're doing. >> Yeah. Yeah. Well, so brave. Well, >> I'll do it with a cigar. >> We'll take that. >> If I do it with a cigar, they'll think I'm ████ serious. >> And I just got to dress like like >> You know what I'm talking about, though. Jeremy J. >> And they'll think you're trans. >> Cat who stands in front of a red curtain and he ████ wears a leather jacket. >> It sounds like you're talking about uh freaking um Andrew Dice Clay. >> Oh, >> well yeah, >> Andrew Dice Clay's gangster, >> but he he does the movie review stuff or whatever. He's been doing it for years. He crushes crushes views. But I think if we got Joe to do movie reviews Oh my

14:20 god. >> 10sec movie reviews. >> Telling you. >> There we go. >> Nobody has time anymore, >> dude. I love movie recaps. >> Yeah, >> same. I just I think a channel I follow is actually called movie recap. That's why he knows so many. >> You think? But he's not sure. >> But I think that's the name. Can we get that? I like as your yearbook quote. I love movie recap. I think a channel I follow is called Movie Recap. >> ████ is dope. >> D, but I'm not sure. >> But I think I think it's tight. >> Yeah. >> It's like unsure movie reviews. That's That's my style, bro.

15:10 >> Yeah. You take so much pride. You take so much pride in having not seen. >> Okay, but like yeah has nothing to do with the new Superman movie. And Joe's like, "Hang on for a second. Did the old Superman movie have Chris Glover in it?" And we're like, "No, Joe, it didn't." And then he's like, "Huh, okay." >> And then he's like, "What was Chris Glover in before?" >> Yeah. What was he in before? Oh, right. Back to the Future. Yeah, I love that movie. And we're like, "Cool. This movie is titled uh this this video is titled We're reviewing the new Superman movie." And and Joe's like, "Yeah, he was so good at Back to the Future. How come he wasn't in the second one?" >> And then he's he's gonna go, "I don't remember what happens in Back to the Future." And then you go, "Why not?" And he goes, "Cuz I only seen it once." I'm like, "You only seen it once?" He goes, "I only watch movies once." And he's like, "I fell asleep." All right. Sick.
