Hello, two, one. What's up, everybody? Welcome to the NCXT Club podcast number six. My name is Den ZXT. With me today, we have Ivan. Good afternoon. And Mommy, a.k.a. Vivian. Hello, everybody.

You guys may notice that we have a... That's the big fist you have there, Vivian. No. It's a huge fist you got there. The biggest fist I've ever seen. I've never seen Vivian this nervous in my life. What? You're literally like so nervous right now.

Don't be scared nervous. Aw. No one can see you, Vivian. Even though if no one can see me, people can hear me. We're actually, you're on Twitch right now. Yeah, so you guys may notice a difference in the quality. If things sound loud, please let us know. We have a completely brand new setup.

It should sound much, much cleaner. But if there are any issues, please let us know in the podcast channel. We'll fix them ASAP for y'all's. We're almost professional. Yeah, no. We got a full mixer. We got three full microphones set up and all kinds of stuff. It's actually pretty cool.

It didn't take me the long to set it up, but it was like, all right, time to get this actually going. Good job, by the way. Thanks. Appreciate it. Oh, you had your value on full Reese. Okay, well, that's her fault. Also, another, another side note, as we are recording this live, so anybody who is in the NZXT server right now and in the podcast Boys and Grill channel can hear live.

So I think we're going to kind of do this going forward, just having people being able to listen live and ask questions. And we'll be able to actually hear their voice, right? Yes, we can't do that. So we'll... Who do we trust on here? I don't know. Who can we trust?

We should unmute the person who has the most warnings. Oh, that would be interesting. If you have any mods here who want to do the work for us. I would probably have like a million warnings by now if I wasn't, if it wasn't an administrator, if I was a regular user. Vivian would be banned if we warned in the administration. Administrator's chat. Oh, oh, yeah.

And in real life, in real life, too. Yeah, some of those chats get a little too spicy. So, special guest today. We have Vivian. Vivian, please introduce yourself. So my name's Vivian. I now work. I formerly was working in e-commerce, but now I'm working in operations.

So, yeah, pretty much just getting settled into my new role. But yeah, I've been helping Dennis and Ivan along on the Discord and many other people who need help with whether it's their orders or whether it's with Discord and all those roles. So just playing a support role here pretty much. You're also president of the NDCT Subaru fan club? Oh, yes, the unofficial Subaru cult that we have. So can you at least a Subaru because of Vivian? Yeah, I keep hearing that she's like the first person to get everybody into.

buying a Subaru and like if you look at her parking there's like five of them it's like five or six a woman there's more now like I knew if I got any other car she would give me something before so I was just like I just got to get a Subaru and she took me up after I bought this Subaru she got me some sunglasses and Subaru sunglasses oh dang

she got you swagged up I got Subaru Beanie swag all this Subaru clout and I was like all right cool so they've been why why Subaru well because I've always been like this is a car I used to get to and from work every day right I drive a Honda and it works perfectly fine for me.

But I'm assuming there's a reason why you have the Subi, right? Yeah, I mean, when I first got mine, I fell in love with it. When I went to go test drive it, I was just like, ah, this is it, this is it, this is it, I have to buy this. I can't deal with my Honda anymore. So I want to get that. And then I just fell in love with the brand, with their values and everything. So it went from there, and then I got an opportunity to, because,

I'm a super ambassador, which is why I'm able to give Ivan, for example, some really cool swag. And that why you can also just park wherever you want with total disregard for the rules. Oh, my God. Sometimes I'll come back from lunch and she'll be like squeezed into the spot where I know she's definitely not allowed to. And her car's like perpendicular, like 50 other cars. She literally parks anywhere she wants. I don't know if you saw this Slack chat the other day. I was leaving.

And then she was just like double parked in front of like a no parking zone. There's like a fire hydrant there and everything. And she was just parked there. So I took a picture and I put it in the random Slack channel. All that matters. You know, this car is totally getting towed. And Vivian replied right away. She's like, ha, ha, yeah, right.

She knows she can just park wherever she wants. I should just put a sign there, reserve for Super Online. I noticed Anna took your parking spot yesterday. Yeah, but she's my manager. And she parked in reverse. Oh, is Anna your manager? Yeah, and as my manager now. I actually have no idea who your manager is.

All I know is that you do a bunch of stuff and you've done a bunch of things in the company. Like, I think it was, I've been saying that you've held the most positions in. Well, not by choice. I mean, some of them were by choice, but not all of them. She's everyone's mommy, basically. That's what they call her mommy, because she's literally the mom. She's the mom around here for sure. And she handles everything, right?

Like, she's, to say this and like, has to this. there's a better way to say, but she's been around everywhere within the company, right? Like, like, pretty much like every department. What'd you say about my mommy? What? Come at me with that. Come at me with that. Well, I'm not around every department, but it's like understanding everybody's roles and

knowing how things work and then just, you know, basically when you need to do something, like if you need help with this. Vivian is the mom. Like when I first needed help on the, the server and you know I had to ask someone to help me I asked Vivian I said hey yeah can you help me with the server like she's the only employee here that I trusted enough to help me with it because I know how much he cares about the community the company everything so she's been she's been a moderate or

administrator whatever I want to call her on the server as long as I have basically you know right the server wouldn't be here without her so you can all thank thank mommy show her some Everybody thank her. Right now, everybody thank her. Let's get some mommies in the chat. Let's get some mommies in the chat. Boys and girls. Oh, you have instigated spam. Oh, no.

Now, now everybody's going to get warned for spam. Speaking of spam, right, you have a very strict policy, regardless of whoever you are, right? If you're an administrator, see like Mira Ivan, our job is to work with the community, so we kind of can break a few rules here and there. But let's say just a regular staff member, right? I'm sure you guys, if I heard about this, you try to instigate spam on our server. You don't get banned.

Yeah, it wasn't the first time you got banned. Yeah. So if you guys know who we're talking about, we're talking about Nick. So first off, I'm going to Nick. You know, Nick's moving on to bigger and better things. He left NZXT's pupil ops team. Last week was his last week.

And, I mean, he was a really great, right. He's really awesome to work with, really cool dude. But he had this really bad habit of trying to cause a ruckus in the server. And I think it was like Saturday or something. I'm just chilling, I'm drinking some coffee, and we get like a giant moderator ping. And it's like, all right, guys, it's my last day or I'm leaving or whatever. Everybody's spam.

He got banned immediately because people started to spam. I'm shocked. I know, right? Who would have thought? There's only five people in the entire server that can do whatever they want and will never get in trouble for it. and three of them are in this room. Oh, who are the other two? Dom and Joa.

Okay. Miho and Unco. Miho and Unco. Yes. Even, you know, the moderator, even the apprentices, for the most part. I can do whatever they want.

And honestly, like, it also depends on who, who's there at the time. Like, there's times where I'm on the server, like, middle of the night during sad poppy hours.

Yeah, seen it. And then someone says a bad word. I'll just kindly tell them, I'll just delete the message and I'll send them a DM, hey man, you should read the rules before a moderator comes in here and gives you a real warning. And I do that a lot, actually. And some of those people, unfortunately, they think, oh, that's kind of, maybe because I do that, they think they can get away with it again.

And getting a real warning. And then before you know, they get banned. And then they message me. And they're like, hey, man, I really messed up. Can I come back in? And can I get a second chance? And I look up their mod log and it's like 12 warnings. Like how many chances does a person need to understand the rules, you know?

Right. That's true. Vivian is very strict on the rules. I think. Before her name was mommy, her name was porg mama. Porg mama? That's kind of weird sounding. It's weird sounding, but yeah, I really like porgs.

So there's that. And then so we started making emojis. The porg. the pork with the hammer and pork mama it's a lot of porks porks porks are unfortunately at that one that he just sent rip the pork channel you know but the pork channel is still there i mean it's not it's not there for everybody but it's there for me that's all i care about it's going there all the time um so vivian how long i've been in in 60 let's go back to you a little bit um this thing about i guess right now it's about two and a half years wow what you did before uh so i started

as a sales operation specialist and then I moved to senior e-commerce specialist and now still at you senior e-commerce specialist but in a different department yeah pretty much that's how one from there what's your day-to-day look like you get up right you hop in that sube right and you drive to work you walk in right oh sorry drive to work park wherever the heck you want right and then you get into the office what do you do first thing you do first thing I I do is that well right now after banning people yeah after banning people and getting a moderator is in the morning oh man it's always in the morning like it's always in the morning

like I wake up and I like five pings like what are you people doing on the server stop I turn off all notifications a long time ago I don't get nothing nothing bothers me well first thing I do in the morning is I would be processing orders what does that mean well I mean that can be of things, right? Processing orders, like orders from, I mean, of course, you know, stuff that you can only say. You know, it's not give up secret company information. Yeah, so I'm still processing orders from store. And then processing orders with our vendors, so people who buy directly from us and deal with their inquiries and making sure their orders get set up, set up with the trucking, have it delivered, so forth. So that's my job pretty much.

She has a lot of Excel files. She deals with like the work. worst piece of software that we have to use here in my opinion which is acumatica oh yeah i hate that website like every and that's the website that we use to process all these um discord club rewards oh really and it's like every time i have to look up someone's order after using this thing and it takes takes like 30 minutes out of my day to like find one thing it's just the worst um the worst piece of software i've ever had to use while working at xxc and vivian that's like vivian's main piece of software right Yep, I look at that every day. I have four, I think, four tabs.

Four tabs of it. Yeah, Dom, Dom knows about Acumatica. I think even Jimmy knows about Acumatica. Yeah, Jimmy uses it too. And Dennis, I'm making it a mission not to teach him how to use it. I really don't want him to ever use Acumatica because having one of us use it as a I rather have him figure out how to use this new podcast equipment. That's very nice of you.

You're sparing him. Yeah. Sparing him the pain. Rip Dom. Ripped on with Ecumatic in the chat. So Vivian, what part of your job is like getting people bugging you about like, hey, I want to buy this case? I want to buy this fan because I'm like, I recently bugged you. And I always feel really, really bad when they bought you.

I'm like, hey, like, I want to buy the 510 elite and two AirRGB fans. Like, can he help me with that? No. I mean, I don't mind helping people. That's just something that that's just, I've been raised. to always help my family, help others. So if I'm helping, you know, an employee or a friend, how am I doing that?

Yeah, it doesn't bother me. It doesn't annoy me. I have a fun fact about how Vivian was raised, actually. Oh, yeah? Let's go. But I don't know anything about this. No, you know how Vivian just said, you know, I was raised to be this way, like to be, you help people. But I recently found out her dad.

Oh, no. Named her brother. Oh, yeah. after a Mortal Kombat character, Raiden, right? Yes. Is it true that your dad's name is Goro? No. That is not true.

But yeah, when she told me that? I was like, okay, her dad is an epic gamer. Name me your son, Raiden after Mortal Kombat? Yeah. That's awesome. What's funny, though, is when she told me, yeah, my dad named my brother after Mortal Kombat character, I was, I think I said, oh, let me guess first before she told me.

And I was guessing like scorpions. Sub-Zero. Sub-Zero, come here. What's up with your great-Subs-ZER? Get over here. Did your dad ever say something like fatality or something? I think as a joke, yeah. Wow.

I want to meet him there. You bought your dad a fight stick, right? Yeah, so one day before Mortal Kombat 11 came out, I asked Dennis, I was like, hey, so you have this fight stick. on your desk on your desk and I was asking I'm like hey uh what brands do you recommend which one's good and then um I give a recommendation she didn't take it she bought him something different oh I did I bought whatever it was on um eBay it was still in good condition yeah and then um took it home bought the game on PC and then I just told my dad here you go

she asked me about the uh about the flappy so on the stick that she bought it's uh it's a hoary or rap for and they're they're not bad sticks but there's this little kind of like compartment in the back where you put a where you put your cable in to connect it to your PlayStation or your PC or whatever and she's like hey do you know where I can get the flappy thing and I'm like no because literally every single person have ever met who has that stick that thing is missing because it falls off so easily and we just like when I got mine I just threw it in the trash I was like it's not worth it don't don't worry about it she's like oh well like I want to get to my dad like a perfect condition I'm like he'll lose it

in like a day like don't worry about it yeah so but anyway Never got the thing. So it was just... Epic gamer. Yep. I have another fun fact about Vivian. I don't like this. I know all your secrets.

They're not secrets. Okay, see, I already told you guys about the car. Uh-huh. Tell you guys about her dad. Okay. Okay, she's also the first NXT employee I ever met who was hardcore into paintball. Oh, really? Not paintball, but Airsoft.

Sorry. Not paintball, Airsoft. I mean, what's the difference? Well, exactly. For me, the same thing because I've been invited to do both. And I'm like, no, thank you. Like, my idea of fun is not getting shot. No, thanks.

I'm okay. Yeah, like the reason I found out is because I think one day Vivian invited me to go Airsoft and I said, no thanks. And she said, come on, it's fun. And I was like, my idea of fun is not getting shot by guns. And even if they're real or Airsoft or paintball guns, even water guns, for me, that's not fun, right? like water guns are dope what are you talking about water guns i i'd rather just watch tv or something

i guess his idea of fun's different that's the exact opposite of like water guns though it's like so i'll just watch tv instead that first time she the first time she invited me i'm sorry i didn't know the first time she invited me i told her that and she comes back the next day and she had like a giant welt like right on her forehead and i said what the heck happened in her forehead and she's like some guy shot me like point blank range i i and then what's funny though is you were like but don't worry man i got it on video so i've never seen the video she's she she i asked her to show me the video and she said i'm never going to show you this video but apparently she had this video some guy just sneaking up on her shooting her point blank right in the forehead right yeah yeah

how'd you get the video like so i asked um was he recording or something or yeah he had a gopro oh on his uh i think he was wearing a helmet and i asked the um employees there I was like hey you want any chance to know who this guy is you know and then what they did was they went on their Instagram their social media they put on their story victim wants footage for co-workers and I was like oh okay you know and then I ended up actually meeting the guy he actually goes there once a week nice yeah and then are you guys good buddies no no no Vivian literally hunts him down every time oh snap she aims for his head now.

It's funny, there's actually a lot of really cool YouTubers that do nothing but like stuff with Airsoft. And these guys have like grenades and stuff. They chuck out. It's a whole thing. Vivian, you should look at the trunk of Vivian's car. Oh, yeah? It's like an armory.

Oh. Yeah. It's like the purge comes around. It's like, I'm ready guys. I saw her getting out of her car one day. You know, she just, Vivian and I used to be like the first two people to get in the office in the old office. It was like she would get there first and then me.

And I would drive her crazy because she would always park in reverse and I would always park headfirst right next to her. And if she parked head first, I would park in her first. He would just, I would just do the exact opposite. So when I talk to him and I want him to do something, I have to tell him the opposite of what I want him to do. Yeah.

She knows me. But anyway, so one morning I see her, we get at the same time and I see her getting out of the car. and she opens a trunk and then she pulls out like she's like a giant like a black duffel bag and I'm like hey what's in the what's on the bag and she just says nothing you didn't see nothing and I was like what totally I should talk to

what are you talking about she's like oh I got it I got it I'm gonna trade some guns with with Jeremy or something like that there's like some like black deal going down and then she is a lord of war she's Nicholas Cage yeah no After that, like more and more people started playing Airsoft, I guess, because I started seeing more and more guns at the office. Now, I mean, I'm sure there's like a dozen people here that go regularly, right? Yeah, I think Jeremy and Jin probably go on a weekly basis.

Where do you guys go to play? Project N1. It's in Elmonte. It's kind of far enough? No, it's really close by headquarters. Okay. And you used to work at an Airsoft store, right? Yeah, I used to work at evick.com.

So I still, yeah. still go there to visit them all the time is is that what you did before in xxt uh yeah but before so evick was two jobs before nzxte and then my my most previous job was working at canon which is the uh computer no no the camera thing camera printers yeah copiers printers they were my mortal enemy for a bit and i was working for HP the canon reps always the worst reps because they would have hire the money for like the season and they always sucked and they're like super like gung ho about like selling stupid printers I'm like dude like you're getting paid hourly like where the hell do you care if someone's buying something's like oh hey what if you like paired a cannon

camera with your printer I'm like I don't care I'm not trying to make a deal with you like like I'm not the the the CEO of HP leave you a lot of me do my job some of them are really cool though but a lot of them are really annoying yeah so did you Joe was to like e-commerce stuff and like that whole? Or did you like fall into the life of e-commerce you couldn't get out? I actually fell into the life of e-commerce. But, you know, I had an opportunity to work in e-commerce and I took it. So that's where I am now.

What did you apply for NSX-D when you did? Well, the funny story is when I actually applied, I applied for a position I knew I wasn't going to get. Is that the funny story? Maybe. Do I have plenty more funny Vivian stories? Yeah, too many. I haven't lost. What did you apply for originally?

So I applied for two positions, one for customer service. Oh, so you could have been working under Dom or with Dom or doing Dom's boss by now. Oh, yeah. Well, I see how. I'm saying we denied her. I said nope. And then the other position was for operations manager, which I knew I lacked experience in. But that is what I studied, studied operations.

and what ended up happening was the manager at the time. Her name was Swati. She actually kept my resume. She was impressed by how I would apply for something I knew I wasn't qualified for. That's interesting. Yeah, and then she said, hey, I think she reached out to me. I think like one or two months later, she's like, hey, so I always kept your resume, and I have this new position opening,

would you like to come in for an interview? I said, sure. So that's when I came in and offered me a different thing. position. Sure, it's not what I wanted, but, you know, I'm still grateful. So you guys, hear it here first. She doesn't, she wants to get out of e-commerce, ASAP. We should up and have a podcast department. Oh, that'd be cool. Can I transfer? Just kidding. I mean, you know, if this send me your resume. You know, let's make it like a full-time, yeah, got someone to set a podcast all the time. That's true. People rotate in and out. You never know. It's the companies that are made

pretty much on podcasts. Okay, so, so, uh, you got you applied for stuff you knew you weren't going to get and then someone's like, hey, this person is so, how I said this, so out of their league they applied anyway, there's got to be something good about them. It's actually kind of funny. Yeah, I actually didn't expect that.

I actually just like, was like, eh, do it anyway. I know I'll get rejected. After Dom rejected you, huh? I didn't know what Dom rejected me. No, I think you've been working here, wait, how long is, I don't know how long Dom is, how long Dom is.

Dom's been here longer than I have. Four years. Dom. Cool. Four years. That's the long time. That was after you, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like Dom, when Dom started, he was, I think, 40 years old. And he's still 40 years old, right? Like, he hasn't aged a bit. And it's like, I actually can't wait to have Dom on here because I know Dom has a lot of stories. Like, I just hear from other people. Like, oh, Dom, this, Dom, that. And I'm like, I don't want to hear from you. I want to hear from the source. I don't want to play this game of telephone. Yeah, Dom should probably be the next guest.

I think so too, yeah. That way, all the admin would have been guests. A little shout out. Yesterday was Dom's birthday. So if you guys haven't said, happy birthday to him, you guys should. Happy birthday, Dom. Tell him. So we weren't here.

Can't believe he's 21. You can finally drink now. Oh, man. So it's four more years and he can legally rent a car. in the state of California. I look at all the happy birthdays. Okay, so besides work stuff, what, actually, actually, no one, let's go back to work stuff of it.

What's your, what's your favorite memory of working here so far? Oh, there's so many. Besides sneaking your dog in here. Oh, yeah, well. And then I want to ask about your dog, because I hear a lot about your dog and I see your giant monitor with a photo of your dog, and I'm like, I want to pet that dog. I want to pet that boy.

I have so many. memories here actually with different people. But yeah, one of them I think I got in trouble for was bringing my dog on a Saturday. Who yelled at you for that? I did. You did? People ops.

Because I sat at my desk and I was like, get your dog away from my desk. I'm kidding. Well, that was a perfect opportunity to take a picture on Ivan's desk with his stickers on PC. I'm actually going to post a picture of Vivian's dog in the podcast chat right now of anyone's listening. Oh, see. Oh, there it is.

Suey, see we beat you to it. There's a naggy. How old is a naggy? She's two years, two and a half now, I guess. Oh, yeah, about. Okay, wow. Yeah. I thought she's a lot older.

No. But yeah, she's still. Just get some Unagi's in the chat, some Unagi coins. No. How, how well trained does she? Like, did you keep like really like. She peed on my chair. She really?

That's why I got mad. Oh, my God. No, he's kidding about it. I actually have a really, really fun, fun Vivian fact about her dog. I'm very... I have two facts. I know where this is going. More facts, let's go.

More facts. I'm going to say the good fact first and then the bad fact second. But not even a bad fact, just the lesser good one. So the first good fact or interesting fact, funny fact, funny fact, whatever you want to call it, is that Vivian has this app on her phone, right? Oh, yeah. Or she could pull up a live stream of her dog at any moment she wants, right? And she also uses it on her computer.

And with this app, she chucks little treats at the dog. But she does? And she could even talk to the dog. So sometimes if you look at, if you look over at her, she'll be like whispering quite like, When I eat, go to sleep. Or runny, look up. And she's just like throwing like little snacks like at the dog's head

trying to wake it up. No. And then she'll be like, my dog sleeps too much. I'm trying to wake him up. So she'll like just throw snacks at it at random times throughout the day. It's pretty funny. Is there a reason why you don't want your dog to sleep?

She sleeps too much. I mean, so dogs deal, right? They sleep and eat and go for walkies. What's your dog supposed to do? Go to work? No. Only if. Only if.

bring her to work, but I can't. If you brought your dog, you're probably sleep here. Yeah, she can. But she can't sleep at home. No, she can. Then what do you wake her up then? So that she can sleep the same time I do and not wake me up so early in the morning. Then you see it like a horn or something and have the horn grow up like every 10 minutes.

It's like, bha-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-wet. Wake up the dog. She would wake up. She's been waking me up recently at around 7 or a little before 7. And like, I can hear her. She doesn't even have to talk. By 7 o'clock, I haven't had to talk. Dogs don't talk, though.

No, no, no, like she can speak. Wait, hold up. Is your dog talk? I can tell her. You have a talking dog? What is it say? Her dog. Unagi has an app where

Unagi throws treats at Vivian. Is it like a Rick and Morty kind of thing? No, no. I could tell her a speak on. Where are my treats, Vivian? No. You said there would be treats. No, she would just, like,

because my bed's a bit higher. So she would sleep on her own bed on the floor. And then she would like put her two paws up and look to see if I'm awake. And I'd be like, go away. I need to sleep. That sounds super cute. You're like, go away. I'll throw some treats at your head later.

And I'm like, if you need to use the rush, we have the wee-wee pads outside the living. The wee-wee pads. Go on your wee-wee-wee pad. Save that for Twitter. That's a good treat. Oh, no. Wee-wee pads. Tend to go on your wee-wee-pad.

Oh, no. I'm writing that down. Someone, someone, someone DM me Wii pad quick. No, no.

The other, the other Unagi story I know, he's actually like a really crazy story that some people

in the server know about, I'm sure. Yeah, so one day I get to work, you know, like usual. And Vivian has like

a bandaid right on her face, like a big bandaid. His gau's. And like just, like literally half her face was a bandage and I'm like hey what happened and she told me she's like the craziest story I probably ever heard in my life so I'll let her tell it because it was it was

it was really crazy only she could tell it I think oh okay so what happened was that day I was moving my car I think what happened was I thought I closed the door shut but was still a bit like a little crack open so Gizunagi decided to push her nose through the door to open the door. Then she ran out. And now it was just like, okay, you know, so I started running after her. I'm just like, come back. So what happened?

So I was one block away from a main street and intersection. So she kept running and running further. Oh, no. And I'm just like, come back. And I come back, like, you're going to get hurt. And she ended up going in the middle of the intersection. Oh, that's so bad. And I was telling her, like, I was screaming her name really loud, top of my lungs, and she

got hit on the side of someone's front bumper. Right. Yeah. And the minute she got hit, I hear Unagi screaming. It's like the Shiva scream, you know, when dogs get like, super, super, super pitch. Yeah. I've heard that scream before. Yeah.

And then I was like, oh my God, you know, this is, but the thing was, I was like, this is my chance to pick her up. So decide to pick her up, but she was in a lot of pain. So she ended up, random instincts kicked in and she bit my face. Yeah. Like several times. That's actually a thing. My dad, unfortunately, it's like way, way back in the day.

We had a really, really old dog. Her name was Twinkie, actually. We didn't name her, but yeah, but she was like the sweetest dog ever, like super calm, never hurt any single person. But fortunately one day she got out. And my dad didn't know. And he backed up on her when he was, yeah, no, and he went to go, you know, like he stops the car. He's like, oh, no, no, I'm so sorry.

And he goes to, like, you know, goes to grab her to pull her out and she just malls his hand because, you know, like when dogs are like, when, like animals are hurt. Yeah. You know, it's just like, just go nuts like that. Linking Unagi in the chat. So is that what happened to Unagi when Anagi got a hit by the car? No. One last meal. That's what Vivian's face look like.

Yeah, probably. She really got you good Yeah, it's really deep. I still have the score on my face. Both you and Unagi are very lucky to be alive. That's very sure. Yeah. Yeah, Unagi got lucky.

She only had fractured ribs when I took her to the animal hospital. She had to stay two nights there. Before I actually took her to the vet, at the time, it was when Billed was I guess, you know, getting more orders. Right. And the funny thing was our CEO, Johnny, message me that morning. And I was right after I picked up Unagi, a kind stranger. She drove me back to my house.

And I put Unagi on bed. And I just, like, didn't want to touch her because every time, every time, like, if I were to, like, try to, like, pet her at that moment, she, she's worried that I may try to hurt her. So I just left her on the bed. And Johnny was like, hey, did you? you process the build orders for today and I was like my dog got ran over no I didn't I didn't tell him I was just like okay okay I'm gonna I'm gonna work on it right now you know I just don't

don't don't worry so I worked on him wow I sent it now that's dedication yeah you should have told them hey I went to an emergency right now I sure would have been fine yeah but at the time I was just like it's you know I can get it done in like 10 15 minutes so then And then I just called my manager and be like, yeah, I'm going to have to take off today. They're like, okay. So, yeah, and then I just ended up taking a naggy to the hospital after. I think. That's like super scary.

I don't think Johnny knows. Like, he knew what I'm pretty sure. He listens. Oh. Oh. I send him the link every week. Uh-oh. Yeah, I don't think he knew at the time that was happening.

I know he knows what happened. Right. I had a big gauze on my face. Does you know about the big gauze we had to put on your leg recently? He does. He does. But I have so many Vivian stories. That was, so do you just, like, get hurt all the time?

Not on purpose. I'm, like, under the impression that, like, you're, like, constantly hurting yourself and, like, maiming yourself in, like, different ways. Not intentionally. So, this happened at the pop-up. Well, the day after the pop-up, we were doing all the... The breaking down. Yeah, all the breakdown, which is, like, you know, we were taking off, like, zip ties

and getting all the monitors back in and putting together all the computers from BLD or build and stuff like that. And I'm working next to Vivian and she's like cutting open a box or something, right? She has this giant, it's not a box cutter, it's like a giant knife. Vivian's really into knives.

Apart from a carousand. Yeah, she's really big knife. Every since I've known Vivian, she's always carried a knife. There's a really big knife person. For self-protection. So she's working next to me and all here is like go, ah, starts cursing, right?

stuff I can't say, you know, on the Discord. You were like, warn Vivian. In person. Yeah. She's like, and I'm like, Vivian, sorry, I'm not to warn you in person. Like, you're breaking the rules one more time. It's going to be a 24-hour remute.

And she, like, stabbed herself with a knife. And I'm like, oh, like, are you okay? She's like, yeah, yeah, I'm just being an idiot. Like, I'm fine. And I look at her leg and I'm like, no, you are not fine. It was like a really giant like hole in her leg. It's like, no, I'm going to be okay. I'm going to be okay.

And like I look at the knife. It was like a quarter of like an inch or like an inch like deep like blood on the knife. And I'm like, uh, uh. When I saw that knife, it was like completely covered in blood. Yeah. And then I went, we had like a little side room where we took Vivian to, uh, luckily we had Ed there. Yeah. So we were to do like a whole like a whole like.

turnicet. He was doing a whole like turnicet thing on our leg. He had his own first aid kid. We were very lucky he was there. Yeah, he's a military vet. So yeah, as he's like wrapping up Vivian's leg, I just look at the actual cut. And it was, it looked like, I mean, it was just like, it looks super deep. I was just like. You said it looked like, he said it looked like a raw steak.

He said it would look like a medium rare steak or something. I was like, oh no. It was a giant, giant stab wound, and it was scary because there was a lot of blood and Vivian. Guts. Vivian, I think she was still kind of high in adrenaline because she was not crying. She was not screaming or nothing. She was just like, all right, I just got to wrap it up.

I'm fine, I'm fine. I refuse to get stitches, but I still went to go get stitches anyway. When I walked in the room and I saw that, I said, Vivian, let me call the ambulance. And he was like, no. And I said, Vivian, let us drive. you the ER like no yeah I was like okay I wasn't going to argue with her she just stuck her finger she took your finger in it how about now I didn't want to I didn't want to keep going after that I just knew okay she can say whatever she wants but one way or another this woman is going to go to the hospital and

Jenica drove your Subaru yeah and drove you to the hospital and then you got stitched up and stuff yeah that was scary yeah she yeah she had fun driving my sube before she she actually had a flight later that day and felt bad because I was just like, oh, you don't have to drive me. It's okay. But, you know, she didn't anyway. You were gone the rest of the day. Yeah, the rest of the day I was gone. And then we had to finish without you. So thanks, Vivian, for slicing your legs.

Sorry, sorry. Not in touchable. It was really scary because, like, you're like one of the first people that like, I'm not going to say it was like nice to me in the office. But like one like one of the first people that like I really kind of talk to and like, you know, like had like actual conversations with other than like, Ivan, right? And like when you got hurt, I was like, no, like maybe don't leave us. Mommy! Mommy! Where's my mommy? Yeah, it was scary. First time I've ever seen anyone get stabbed. Yeah. And I didn't realize how like how quick it is like because it was like in a split second. It went from just stabbing

yourself to just like gushing blood and just like giant hole in your leg. I ended up, I still have that jeans. There's a hole on it. You should maybe give them away on the server. Oh, no. Level 30 rewarding. Vivian's genes. With a hole?

Oh, my gosh. And then solve Vivian blood. Oh, no, no, no. How much could we sell Vivian blood for? I'm sure someone would buy it. It's a O negative. Oh, there you go. It says, you know, that's right.

So anybody could go ahead and inject it in. I know, actually, no. I think it's O positive. Imagine selling. If I wonder if I could sell my blood. blood. Poppy blood? Poppy blood?

Oh no. Little vials of my blood for people to drink. They're going to clone us. I think people would buy it. I would buy it. Yeah? Yeah. Just right around your neck.

Yes. A little vial of my blood. Just in case like anything happens, like I have it right here. We can clone them, you know? Like, you do. Res. Puppie. But yeah, Vivian.

Vivian has a lot of stories and some of them are good. Some of them are scary. Some of them are hilarious. But that's why she's mommy, you know. She's a very important person to me. Oh. Thank you. Just like you are to everybody else.

I'm not crying, you are. Aw. Thanks, clown. For the last wallpaper. Okay. Vivian actually, I remember my very first father's day. She got all the, back in the server was a lot smaller. and she collected money from the server.

No, I didn't. Well, she told me that, but... What do you mean? I think you told me that. No, I said, I told them about it. I asked them for their feedback. And they're like, yeah, I think that'd be good. And then I just want to go bought.

Just bought it and then came. You got me some awesome RGB glasses. He has at his desk. For those you're asking, the newbies can go into the podcast voice. So don't know. what to tell you. Yeah,

but they can view and connect the channel. They can't go in if they're muted. That's true. They can't go in if they're muted. Anyway though, okay, so Vivian. There's something I asked Jimmy last week. What is your favorite NZXT product? Favorite NZXT product?

That is not a case. And then to add on to that, what is your favorite case? So first, what's your favorite case? Favorite NZXT case? Right now my favorite case is that H-510 Elite. It's a beautiful case. It's so cool.

It's an amazing case. Shin did it. Shin and his team did a really good job on it. They're the product manager or industrial design team. It's super nice. Yes. I like mine. It's great.

It's just, you know, like when I turn it on at night and get home, like, ah, yes, enslaved LED's. It looks great on your floor. It does a great on my floor. It's actually really. He's so excited. He showed me his battle station. He showed me and I was like, it's called the desktop.

Not a desk bottom. Get that off the floor. It's got legs. It didn't fit. It's got legs. When you buy it a case with a front tempered glass and you just put it on the floor. Yep. It's a big flux.

You know, it's like people who like poop in like gold toilets. It's one of those things, you know? I got so much drip. I just leave it on the floor like that. Oh, boy. I've been thinking of something to respond with. He's like, he's got the like smile on his face and his eyes are going back and forth. I was going to make fun of the fact that you're, you're, you're,

left-handed so your battle stations like automatically disqualified anyway from ever looking good still works looks good to me exactly to you probably better you than uh than most games try me out dude when do you want me a rest or whatever we'll see what's good okay um Vivian what is your favorite NCXC product that is not a case what NCXT count the T actual T yeah yeah well I guess yeah well that's not the pop but I wasn't sure if that counted. It counts. NZXT.

It exists. It's real. Yeah. Okay. I mean, you can't buy it though, so it's really a product if you can't buy it.

Yeah, it's like the Canadian iced tea that NXXXXLLLLSA brought me all right from Canada. I'm drinking it right now. I'm pretty sure that's just brisk. I'm pretty sure it's like nesty, brisk stuff.

I don't know what it is, but, okay, okay, I agree. I've seen, it looks like it's something I've seen in the grocery store a million times,

but the closer I look at the can, it is a can, I've never seen before because the language has accent marks, flavors spelled different. I'm pretty sure that's French. Yeah. So thank you, NCX's Long Lasson. He drove all the way from Canada and he brought me a bag of Canadian.

Actually, it didn't originally come in a bag. It was in a box that broke open, I guess, as he was driving. And then he put it in a plastic bag. So when he came here, he just had any a giant plastic bag full of tea cans. That's something because, like, before it came through, he was like, I'm going to bring you guys some Canadian ice tea and it's way different to anything you guys got over there it's got lemon in it and like regular tea here has lemon as well

like I'm not quite like and then I didn't want to argue with them for like 20 minutes about stupid tea so I was like all right just bring it over and I'll see what's up it's good tea I just like I swear like I've had those flavors somewhere before yeah but you I mean it might taste similar but at least the can is different I mean the can no no yeah it's in French so it's cool the can for sure is different the camera should is different but like the tea itself I'm pretty sure have had similar tea that's like in powder form or something like that I think yeah

dang all these uh wallpapers coming in super hot so um real quick we do have a little bit of community news right uh Ivan do have any any cool community news stuff so first and foremost is uh the announcement channel has been turned into a follow slash announce this channel so you can go ahead and follow that and add it to any other discord that you're in so i know we have like a million people in our Discord who have made their own discords off of ours. Yeah, and we also have made the huge Level 30 announcement. Everyone's been waiting to hear. Everyone's been asking forever what Level 30 reward is.

Excited to announce it. I'm very happy to announce that we will reveal what it is once the server goes 30 days without a mute, warning, or ban. And once that happens, Level 30 is here. It'll be unlocked. It's an achievement. 30 days for Level 30. and we'll check too

we'll look we can see we have all the logs we have a lot of logs one hour since warn someone someone should we call it a someone should make like a bot is like X hours since incident oh yeah yeah they definitely should

oh capital letters come on a hat silly speaking of which thank you for the for the free dog you left in the Minecraft house on them on the on the on the on the n-60 server but when I went to my house there was no dog so I don't know where it went.

Vivian probably stole it. Yeah. Like I don't really play Minecraft, but I was like, I was bored one day. I'm like, I'll hop on and do some digging, you know, just dig down for some diamonds. And I make this house on the side of like this hill. And when I get back, there's two signs. Dennis, by the way, your half of your chest isn't protected. I'm like, I don't care about this.

I'm like, I'm not super into it. By the way, here's the free dog. And I look around, I'm like, there's no dog in here. What is the dog? So now I'm looking for this missing dog. I've never seen. But yeah, but the other other announcements is we have a unofficial NXT wifu. Just super exciting.

So this happened, I think, like two or three weeks ago, the weeps hit me up. First off on a Sunday, they came me up on a Sunday. He's like, Dan, I have a question. Like, yeah, it's like, do you think we could like make a... Have it. Have it reteets for a free PC. I'm retreat for a wifu. And, you know, because they am the Wee Whisperer and the server.

And they wanted to know if we could commission somebody to do some NXT art. You know, so like a lot of companies like AMD and Vida windows and like other countries, particularly like, you know, Asia, Taiwan, like Japan, Taiwan, stuff like that. They'll have these like mascots for like the company. And when you ever had one. And I'm like, yeah, sounds like a great idea. And 17 days later, she's finally here. You guys should check her out in the anime channel. Please don't spam it.

I do have a request for that image, though. Yes. Can she be riding a scooter? Oh, we could. Of course. We could. It's just going to cost us another 30 pounds or whatever that is and not monopoly money. Worth it.

I think it's super worth it, too. I'm actually considering hitting up that artist and asking for remotes of her to put into the server. Oh, heck yeah. That'd be awesome. So, you know, once they get a... We need a wifu remote, too. We don't have wifu. N6T wifu?

But we get a moat, yeah. So there we go. Maybe we can work a deal out, Ivan, to get that, to make that happen. Sure. Yeah, but it's really cool. You know, I think it's great. It's something that the community made, or, you know, it's something that the community wanted and they wanted to do.

And it made me, like, super happy, so excited that super excited she exists because, like, how many other companies, you know, have their fans say, hey, we want to make a wifu, and then they just do it, right? Superwoo. You know you said a super wifu? Is there a super wifu? She's in this room. Oh, got him.

Whoa! Oh, man. And the waveform just shot way up. Rip headphone users. Yeah, rip headphone users. Yeah, so that's the thing. That's really the only thing. Oh, and I think our game night is this week, right?

Is it this week? I don't remember. Some remind me in the Discord place. Is the game night this week? Several people are typing. Yes. Okay, yeah. And then also,

You recently, you know, together stuff going on with the server, we are trying to make improvements to it. Yes. So we, oh, would you rename channels? We renamed Lounge to General and Bulletin Board to Random, how it used to be. Back Alley to Random. Back Alley to random. That's what it used to be. I think it's a lot more clear what those channels are to be used for now because everyone's used to general on random.

Yeah. Every server basically has general random. But the rules are the same. Nothing changed, you know? Right. So read the channel descriptions. Don't break the rules. And the other stuff going on with the server is the reason we changed is because we did

a poll. So we're running poll questions on different server improvements and today we asked if we should kind of rearrange some channels. So that's the next project I'm working on is I'm going to try to make the channels just cleaner, you know, simplify things, make sure everything's easy to find. Right now it's a yes. Yeah. And I've already have an idea of how I think we should do things and

Some channels will get deleted or at least made private or archive just for me so no one can see them. And then I think there might be one or two new channels that people have been requesting for some time now. Are you able to get a sneak peek into what they are? Or he's going to keep them inside your sleeve. I will reveal the channels when the server goes one day without a warning meter ban. Okay, here we go. One day, guys. It's time, guys.

Make sure you keep everybody in check. It's been 10 minutes this last award. Yeah. Please no words. Well, don't break the rules. It's really easy to not break the rules. So please don't do it. Yeah, I mean, everyone that joins the server, you can't just say, oh, if they're newbies, they don't know.

No, that's not true because everyone that joined the server can't type in the server until they, 10 minutes are up, right? So those 10 minutes, just read the rules. I feel like we say this every single week. Like, don't break the rules. When newbies do come in the server, it's the responsibility of the people in the server who know the rules to help the newbies and let them know, hey, like, welcome to the, you know, welcome to the server. We're happy you're here, but just know, you know, like.

We're very strict on the rules here. The rules are strict here, so. Because a lot of servers do have rules and they don't enforce them. Most servers don't enforce rules. Right. And most servers, you just do whatever you want. Not here. I'm the sheriff of NZT and it's not going to happen, right?

Howdy, I'm the sheriff of NZXT. I'm the sheriff. Dennis is my deputy. Here's my scooter. Vivian is my lieutenant. Did they have lieutenants for sheriffs? Dom is my prisoner. Dom is your,

who's listening right now? Jimmy is my bailiff. Yep. Okay. And the mods are my judges. Who's your executioner? The appurnices. Okay.

They just do the jobs that nobody else wants to do, which is to help people. You know, like everyone should essentially strive to be what the apprentices are supposed to be, which is the people that help each other, you know, the people that, they're not here to just warn people and tell you, like, don't do this, don't do that. They're here to tell you how the server works, and, you know, if you guys ever need to know why the rules exist, just go reading the FAQ. It tells you right there why all these rules. exist and what happens when you break them. And there's very good reasons for every single rule. And there's no exceptions, not even for employees, you know, like... Or former employees.

Like, it doesn't matter who you are. I don't care. You're not going to get away with it. So you want that level 30 reward. Like, everyone's been asking me forever. Every single day, people message me. Then let's see, go 30 days without getting a warning, mute or ban, and level 30 is all yours. Can you imagine having a server where you can just hang out, have fun, make friends, check out exciting content like this podcast, get free stuff, and they complain that you don't get more free stuff? I can't imagine it. Because I imagine that every day. I imagine that every single day I'm alive, man.

Every morning I wake up and I turn on my phone and I have, I'm not exaggerating when I say I have hundreds, hundreds of messages. That is true. It's not just Discord. Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, email, Slack, hundreds, right? And every morning, you know, I'm scared open Discord because, and I've sent you screenshots, and it's just like dozens of questions and it's all the same thing. Why did I get warned? Why my band?

Where's level 30? Why isn't a level? And it's just people breaking rules. And it's all because that's. Because that's why they're messaging me is because they're breaking rules. So there you go. Like that's the reward. Yeah, I had someone messaging me today saying like, hey, I haven't heard anything about my sticker thing.

I put the request in yesterday and I'm like, did you read the FQ? Because it says, right, their process at the beginning of the month. I said, oh, I didn't see that. I'm like, well, if you knew how to read, then you would be able to see it. It's not that hard, guys. Reading is really easy, believe it or not. even though I don't like to do it, reading is super easy. Reading.

Just look at it. And then reading. But anyway, Vivian, are you ready for some questions? Listen to questions. No? No? Too bad. Do you want to try doing a call?

Yeah, we should definitely do a call. Does anybody have any questions they'd like to ask us? We will unmute you and you guys can ask away. And now this first time we're doing this, so it might be a little, a little weird. But, you know, work with this year. May, let's try to unmute Dom. Dom, are you there? I don't know if Dom is.

No, he's muted himself, and I'm not able to unmute him, actually. Oh, that's weird. He might be because of the server, the way the server set up or the channel set up. So we can maybe, like, do, actually, I don't think I can unmute anybody. Yeah, no, it's based on the server permission. Rip, we didn't fix it. We could. It would just take forever to do it.

Okay, and I'm not going to do it then. Never mind. You guys don't get to ask the question. Is it like it's the last warn? Oh, boy. If anyone has questions, just ask in the chat, then just type them. And then next week, I think next week we'll have a better set of periods. Like, we just started setting up the podcast.

We ordered a bunch of podcast supplies. And that's why the podcast, hopefully sounds better. today since the last time, right? It definitely should. Definitely if you should. All right, any questions for Vivian? Chat. We have a lot of people in here right now.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Why does Soldier Boy follow me on Instagram? Reese asked. Well, that's because... It's a cloud chasing. Let me remember how it actually happened.

Wasn't it that? I remember how it happened. A couple of years ago, like two years ago, I got a notification that Soldier Boy followed and it's because on on Twitter when you're verified you get a tab just for verified activity so you know I check it every day and said you know soldier boy followed you and I was like what the heck this was like two years ago right and so I just followed him back and kind of you know I've always you know I've never been a huge soldier boy fan or anything like that but

just you know whatever but turns out the reason he followed us is because he's a huge gamer Yes, big gamer. I guess he just liked our Twitter or a product or something, and then I forget exactly how it happened. I think on Twitter we just got into, he just tweeted one day that he needed a computer or something, and then we were just interacting with him, and we ended up making a PC for him,

and he came in our Blithcom booth and hung out, and yeah, so he just wanted, you know, that's how it all happened. He was on the chill. Yeah. He was a cool dude. Kara asks Vivian, do you like anime? Of course. What's your favorite anime right now?

What are you watching? Well, right now all the animas I'm watching are actually on break, but I like My Hero Academia. Sardar Online. Don't you mean My Hero Wackadamia? No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. The clown ass, rate cat. It's a cat, all right?

Yeah, it's a cat. Definitely cat. finished though. All you said was my Hero Academia. And Sortar Online. Shoka Gecki. What's wrong with that? It's the reason why you're not allowed in the anime chat. Although someone's happening with that.

What do you mean? I have access to anime chat. Not anymore with your Sortar online like. Okay. Hey. See, any of the questions here? Yeah, scroll up. Will you miss one? Do you miss one? Yes, just go down right below the cat.

So, Logi, 19. asked when did the obsession with porgs become a thing it's a great question so and this this actually we had this discussion this morning um i hate movies that come out nowadays like i hate because every movie to me is a remake so um you know all these like like avengers endgame or whatever i could tell you exactly how that movie and all the other ones that are coming like black Panther in 2020. I could tell you exactly what happens in all these movies. It's one and a half hours of like 15-minute montages of each character with the 30-minute

epic fight scene at the end where the good guys win and the bad guys lose, but there's always a cliffhanger that, you know, they'll get me a next one or whatever. That's all they all end. So for me, that's not... But they're dope. Not really because there's... Yes, they are. There's tons of other awesome movies in my opinion.

Anyway. Just because there are other movies. I'm just telling you my opinion, man. Yeah, but your opinion's wrong. This is just me. Because the movies are dope. I'm always right. This guy hasn't even seen the endgame yet.

But I just described exactly what happens in that movie, right? Yeah, but still. So what I do you watch it? It's like 90% of stories. You know what's going to happen, though. Not really. Not a good story. It can be a good story without.

How does this story end, Dennis? This story? Yeah. Me becoming CEO. Oh, boy. But anyway, back to the port. So because I have this, like, you know,

disgruntled view of modern cinema. The greatest offender to me in my eyes is Star Wars because I love Star Wars, right? I love Star Wars. Yes. But for me, Star Wars is episodes, whatever, the original ones, the original trilogy, right? It's not any of these new ones.

Like for me, these new ones, if they never existed, I'd be perfectly fine because... 100% agreed. I don't like any of them. Ain't that great. The only things... I like two things about these new movies.

There's two things I like. Jar Jar? Really? And porgs. Because they're the weirdest-looking things I've ever seen in my life and I love the fact that they exist in these movies. And that's the only reason I like these new movies

is for those two things. This is Jar Jar and Porgs. So when we started the server, that's when Porgs first came out on whatever Star Wars movie that was. And I just started seeing it all like on Twitter and stuff. And I just became fascinated with it. So it kind of became a joke. Like I think the command was Porg in order to get someone banned on the server.

This was like before there was rules. It was just like 8 and 10 you want to ban someone, just do app porg or whatever. At porg. And it just became a thing because when we started calling it. at porging people. We had a porgian channel. It was just like porgy moths everywhere. We had the...

You're blowing into it. Peace. We still have the porginine, which is our moderator log. Yep. Forging is still a thing. That's how the whole obsession happened. All right.

Let's see. We were there. What are your thoughts on the anime gang? I don't know what that's referring to. Same. Is that a Jojo reference? Yeah, right? Can the level 30 reward actually be just a mute?

Consider it done. All right. What's your favorite VR game at the moment from Mr. Fluffles? I don't play VR. I don't play it. I don't have it at home. My favorite VR game right now is Dr. Mario. Of course.

My favorite VR game is real life. Can the level 30 reward be a snap of the Discord? That's actually not bad idea. So I've been doing this thing where we're like the discord gets really rowdy and like people are spamming stuff. I'll do the Thanos GIF of him snapping, and then I'll do the clearer command to clear 100 lines of text, and the whole server is just emptied.

I could probably do that, and then just as a joke and get the server back like the next day or something. We probably could. Sorry, you've been snapped. April Fool's Day joke. People talking about Star Wars. Caro, do you like the Harry Potter movies, at least?

Couldn't care less about Harry Potter movies. I don't really follow it. No, I have never. No, the reason I don't care about Harry Potter movies is because when those movies first came out, I think I was like in college. What was the first Harry Potter movie? I don't know. I was in school. I was in like junior high, I think or something like that.

I don't remember in high school. I don't know. I was like an old man when those movies came out. For me, they were always little kid movies. Same reason I don't like Pokemon. I mean, that came out when I was an old man. But, but. But Pokemon.

Guys, you're forgetting that. I'm old. But Pokemon, though. All right, Vivian, do you like assassination classroom dough? I actually don't know what it is. It's an all right show, too. A lot of pork, though. A lot of porks here.

Let's see, no, any guys, we don't like asking questions, huh? Okay. When does this podcast end? I don't know, when we want it to. When Vivian has to go back to work. For you, it ends right now. We can kick you out of the chat. Oh, no.

What a question to ask. Oh, so while people are thinking up of good questions, what are you playing right now, Vivian? What Vigia's are you playing? Wait, what? Oh, video games. Yeah. What Vigji games? The one I play the most is Rainbow Six, Siege.

Did you participate in the game night? Why not? No, I'm like reading the question right now. No, I did not watch Kion. Who asked that question, Vivian? Munay Ro. Is it Munay or is it Money? Money Ro.

I'm not sure. Money Ro, Ro fight the power? Keong guy, come on. Yeah, it's right there. His name is the Keon guy. He was taken over. So if the question was about the anime gang, I need they, I think

they're too sensitive to you to chill out. The anime gang is like if I had to pick one channel from the server to have its own reality show I would pick the anime channel definitely be the anime channel so sensitive on there it's like there's so much drama that goes on

people messaging me about how they feel offended that there's weeb there's like weed anti-web sentiments sentiment on the server and I'm just like anti-weeb brigade sweeping people up

and putting them in weeb camps like guys guys It's just anime. It's just Chinese cartoons. Don't worry about it. Basically. It's just a cartoon, guys. Chill.

Trying to think of what else we have that's new in the server. I can't really think of anything, but it's pretty much it. Are you playing anything besides Dr. Marr? Are you still playing that? Oh, yeah. I'm playing Hotline Miami. I just got it again on my Switch.

Oh, how is it on the Switch? I love it. I think I mentioned this in last week's podcast, but I have it on PC. I love the game on PC. I played it a lot on PC. But I remember even when I, before the Switch came out, I would always think, man, this is,

I wish Hotline Miami was on the Switch. It's just like, it's perfect for it, right? It's perfect for this. It's like, yeah, exactly. It's so fun. And I love it. I've been playing that every day. How do you play that, Vivian?

No. What? No. What do you play? Just Rainbow 6 all day? And Pokemon Go. Okay, spotcast is over. Now they're just staring at me.

Vivian's one of those people that has like eight cell phones just to catch Pokemon. Oh, she's like the Pokemon Go Grandpa? I'm not like that. No, there are people who actually, they have like a cardboard box and then they would put like several phones in there and then they'll be tapping at it when they're reading. They'll be like, uh, and the funny thing is, is like, like, and the funny thing is like, like, even the older adults like they actually come out too

they'll drive out they'll be like I'm doing this for my grandkids when they had their race squads that come out for that that that first time like a month or two back there's like a million people at this mall was at and I'm like and there's like a lot of older people too with like their kids

it's really weird and it's like all right we're gonna hit two more you know gyms and then we're gonna you know we're done for the day okay dad I'm like what It's really funny to see. A couple months ago, we went to the park. Me, my wife and my daughter went to the park. And my wife had never seen that before. And it was just like a thousand people at the park.

Like, I walk around around there on. My wife was freaking out. She's like, what's going on? What's happening here? It looks like something out of like a sci-fi movie, right? Like the end of the world. Like zombies just walking around and surround their phones. Well, like, there's that clip of like New York, right?

Where people were going for like a, was like a Voltian or something? and they're like blocking the streets and people can't like drive through the city because there are these hordes of people walking through like New York City it was nuts oh my goodness all that for a drip of clout yeah to flex on other people yeah because I mean if you imagine like a big city is gonna have like a ton of Pokedsopi start I have a level 30 Charizard it's CP they don't they don't have levels in Pokemon go geez yeah learn the lore I don't, I mean, just because I don't care doesn't mean, doesn't mean I'm anti-Pokemon. Like, I could care less if you guys like or hate Pokemon as well.

For me, I'm just telling you, me personally. Right, right. I don't like Pokemon. I don't like Harry Potter, blah, blah, blah. I don't even watch that much anime. But. I don't think you watch any anime. I'm not anti-animity.

I'm not anti-any. I'm very anti-animy. I just can't stop watching. I have an addiction. You say I'm anti-animay, but. Every morning I drink coffee from a nerve mug. I don't think anyone's ever said you're anti-animy. I think he's putting words in my mouth, Ivan.

Yeah, man. Oh, boy. So maybe, how are you doing? I don't know anymore. I hate anime. I hate anime. I know why people watch anime for. It's so gross.

Biggest weed anti-animing. Oh, boy. Yeah. If anyone has any more questions in the podcast chat, please drop them before we have to end the podcast. We're about an hour and eight minutes. We've got like 15 more minutes around. Yeah, around there.

Yeah, you know, we got to get back to work and do real big boy job stuff. Barely three o'clock. I know, it's barely three o'clock. I'm actually hungry again. What mics do we use? We use the Audio Technica AT 2020s. Brand new. Brand new, yeah, fresh at the box.

But the mic stands are not here yet, So we're actually holding them. I haven't forgot to order them, apparently. And I told Vivian to hold the mic one fist, one fist away from her mouth. I mean, entire podcast, I've been, like, shoving it closer to mouth because she keeps it like an arm's length away. Well, I don't want people to hear me breathe. That's why I, like, put it away. Breathe through your ears, like me and Dennis.

Well, I mean, well, I don't know. I don't know how sensitive this mic is. Okay, if we get a question here. Does anyone, I'm assuming, do anyone of you play League of Legends or Overwatch? Who asked that? That was Caro. I personally, I don't. I tried playing both, and I played like five minutes of each,

and I just was like, I'm not going to invest a time to learn how to play this game. Well, I used to play League of Legends, but I'm not that great at it. I'm pretty sure you guys would just be like, oh, my God, why does she keep feeding? I haven't played League in like a million years. Are you a play Overwatch? Yeah, I played Overwatch. watch for a while. Winston.

Winston? Winston's pretty dope. This is cool. Yeah. I haven't played League of Legends in like seven years. It's been a super long time. I don't know. I have no idea what's going on either of those games when I watch it.

You may I watch you play and I have no idea what's going on. Yeah, it's one of those things that's really hard to follow. And people say, oh, it's so easy. I'm like, yeah, because you spent like eight hours a day playing it. Yeah. Then you watch them and play it, of course. Overwatch. I haven't played Overwatch in a few months.

Actually, I logged on Overwatch. for the first time in like months last night and that new character Sigma's in there and I hate him. He's the dumbest thing ever. Every new character they added and has a stupid shield. It's so frustrating because like I'm trying to try to kill stuff and like my aim is not rewarded because this expletive deleted puts this stupid wall up and then he does this thing where he negates your shots and I'm like, this came stupid I all F-W it and went to bed. I'm just dumb. I got so angry. I hate It, Overwatch sucks now. Oh.

I'm sorry. It's just like, they keep adding dumb stuff to it. They keep adding dumb characters to it. Well, I already has their own preferences. But you're going to love Overwatch Classic. I can't wait for Overwatch Classic. It'll be the best. Can't talk about that, by the way.

What? People playing a 20-year-old game boggles my mind. Like, actually, I think that makes a lot of sense. But there's like nothing new that you want to play? Well, that's the thing. Because everything new, like the same thing with movies, right? Right, right. There's just like, I don't want to say lack of creativity because I think, I just don't lack of originality maybe.

Right. It's just like everything is the same. Same movies, same game, same whatever. So, you know, same reason I'm playing Dr. Mario and Hotline Miami is just because, you know, to me, it's more fun to play something old that I'm used to as opposed to, let me try out something new. That's the same thing as everything else that's new. Yeah, but why would you play something you already played before? Because I want to have fun. I play video games to have fun.

That's why I play video games. Yeah. But if you already did it, why would you do it again? And especially a game like a wow where it's like a giant grind. Because if it's fun for me, why not? You're wrong. Every gamer is different, man. Gaman's is about having fun and everyone likes the same games.

I don't like doing the same thing twice in a row. I mean, like once I'm done with them, I'm done, I rarely ever replay games. think that when a game I've replayed multiple times has been like half-life. See, that's the beauty of gaming is you can do whatever you want, man. Play whatever you want. I don't know.

I just... Except Fortnite. Except Fortnite. Oh, no. It's funny because people complain about Fortnite like every week they'd make some chains that people hate and then they still play it. I think this week I was reading

what we were saying and they were like, ah, no. Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re---------------. We like re-night. re like re-night. And then, like, they made a dumb change, and then they made another dumb change, and then they reverted the dumb change

and added a better change. It's like, leave your game alone. Like, Jesus. It's almost about as Overwatch all the crap they add in. Like, you log into the game once, and then you log in two months later, it's completely different.

It's not even the same game anymore. They had, like, a Mac and then you're going around and, like, balls, like a, like in an anime or something, and then makes you know some dudes shooting you with a banana suit on. It's like the weird. So I wonder why someone would play.

an old game like Hotline Miami that never changes that's just fun home am is a classic though it is I'm playing hotline Miami classic uh I musta asks are you using one of those physical equalizers you mean a mixer yeah we're using a mixer it's a Berringer it is a Berringer X Xenix a model X 1-222 USB yeah brand new USB I'm actually I don't like using USB inputs but I decided it's just easier just change the input and it's just looking at it's just looking at it's at it looks so sophisticated. You know, it's funny because mix just really aren't, aren't that. It looks scary because it's like a bunch of dials, but like these three are just equalizers.

So it's just, you know, for like mids, lows and highs, right? We need sound effects. We should have a soundboard. We need a, we need a reggae horn. We need a, we could do that. We need a clown nose honk. Oh my goodness. We do some squeaky shoes?

No, we definitely could. We need a re-re-re-re-we just need another, another thing that it's going to have like those as like hot, whatever. and then we can, yeah, I can look at a Trello card. All right, we'll make it a Trello. Hey, Trello! Trillo! So, you're like, once we, every time you say Trello, we got to ring a bell or something.

Let's see. He's so bad. No, what questions here? No, it sucks. Would you ever release a pink Uwu and ZXT case from Caro? We have. Which one was that one? So a couple years ago, or not a couple years ago, many years ago,

our April Fool's joke was a pink NZXTXT case. T Phantom case and the community went nuts over it and kept asking us to make it. So we made a couple hundred of them. And people every once know we'll put it on eBay and I think it goes for like $300, $400, pretty crazy. There's definitely like a need for that, right? But there's a demand from a certain demographic for people who want to have like pink accessories, like pink heads and stuff like that.

If enough people ask, we'll do whatever color they want. Yeah. But it's like also people will. ask for things and they won't buy it, right? So there's like, this was that big part where people say, oh, I want this thing, if you make it, I'll buy it, and then we make, and they won't make something, and they don't, and they're like, well,

never listening to you again. We'll make a pink case when the server goes 30 days without a warning new or ban. Oh, there you go. Let's do it. Podcasts. So you move podcasts and be seen to a folder. No. Somebody do my job. Can you play Minecraft for the game night on Friday?

Why? You can play Minecraft every night. That is true. It should be something different. I don't know. I think that the challenge with the game night is definitely not an easy thing to put together, right? No, I don't think so. Because it has to be a game that one, people want to play. And yeah.

It has to be a game that has a very low barrier to entry, right? Like it's free to play. Can have a lot of people on there. It doesn't require a whole lot of stuff to get set up. Dr. Mario, it is? Oh, boy. You don't play two people, though. You can't do like a giant group playing at the same time.

It's true. Yeah. Can you imagine if we all play Tetris Day. You know what Game Night should actually be, we all just throw snacks at Unagi. Oh my gosh. We should have a channel. It's just a live stream of Unagi. Actually. Her Furba. That would be cool.

You should set up a Twitch stream as just your dog. You just have it running on like IRL or something. It is live. Yeah. Maybe. Every time, every time someone gets a warning, we throw a snack. dog is to get so fat. Oh yeah.

Every time someone like donates like $5, like a snack of the dog or like if you donate X amount of dollars or whatever, it'll do like a horn to wake the dog up. Oh my gosh. I feel like this is this this would be tied to somehow animal cruelty. But yeah, I mean, the funny thing is recently I actually changed her bark box. It's a bark box. A bark box is a subscription box that you get for it. It's for your dog.

So when I first got it, it was half toys and half snacks. Then I realized, as I keep getting more of these boxes, she doesn't like the toys. So I told them, I said, hey, can I just have all snacks? They're like, sure. They sent me like seven bags of snacks. And I'm like, are they tasty? Huh, what? Are they tasty?

Yeah, she spits them in her dog's mouth. Well, she would sniff it first and see if she likes it. But they sent me, like, ducking seaweed, salmon, hot. Dogs like seaweed? No, duck and seaweed. Okay. Your dog's fancy. I know, fancy dogs up here.

Unagi actually eat Unagi. Oh my goodness. But, yeah, I mean, a lot of snacks for her this month. Unagi looking like a snack. All right. Maniro asks, what's Ivan and Vivian's thoughts on Akari and Zixie Chan? Is that her name? I don't know that was her name.

I guess you guys made up a name for her. That's cool. She's awesome. I love it. She's super cute. You've seen her, right with me? To be honest. I never really knew about her until.

Right now. Well, she's new. Okay, here you go. We're going to show you a photo right now. I mean, I've seen the photos. I just didn't know she had an name. She's definitely going to be the podcast artwork this week. Oh, 100% yeah.

Straight up. So awesome. Super cute. It looks nice. I did give some criticism and they all yelled at me, but I'm like, it has to be on brand. It's funny because Dennis shared this in our work Slack and all the weeds came out of hiding.

And the first one who came out was Eric. He's like, she's beautiful. Oh, my good. You know what you funny? Never know. We're definitely editing that out. Jesus, Ivan. Someone warned Ivan for it.

Hey, like I said, there's only five people that can get away with breaking. That shit would be kind of hilarious, to be honest. It's actually, I'm not going to lie. You take the wig off and it's green, the bald head. Is you the boy? Right. I have a question. Since the light podcast, this is going to be a we shop out.

your music. No, because we've never done it for it. We could set it up, but we don't have, we are limited by the technology. Unless, what did we have, Jared, DJing the podcast? Does that be great. He just does it like. I think you guys should have Jared. Yeah.

And then he'll just play some, um, some, uh, we shop remix for us. Oh, yes. All right. Uh, see any of the questions here. I just scroll down real quick. Um, apparently Florida's going to get hit by hurricane. So good luck with that guy. Oh, good luck.

Rip Florida. Stay safe out there. Yeah. And y'all talking way too much and not answering, not asking enough questions. Zero seconds is last warning. Jesus. Yeah, we're not going to make that level of a reward. Sorry, folks.

Sure we are. I believe in the server. Can I though just say real quick how awesome it is that we have a community that wants to make like an animu mascot wifu for us? Like that's super dope. I was super happy when they hit me up about it. I'm like, you do? She's been as cool as the Best Buy Wifu, but all right. Yeah, right, I mean, Best Buy Wifu is best wifu.

Why would you ever go with anybody else? She sells all the best computers with ketchup and mustard PSUs inside. All right. So no more questions? I think that's it. All right, later, guys. Bye. Do you have any questions for us, actually?

Me? No, Vivian. Me? Well. No, I thought about it. I said about it. I said, I said. me and Ivan well I have no idea

all right great awesome podcast is over all right thank you guys no questions Vivian well I mean if I had questions I would just straight ago I'd say hey poppy what is this on your Venmo when is Vivian playing Eurobeat in

the voice chat or the music's chat again whenever you guys want there you go just let me know you ever upload videos from the HQ on YouTube if you come in person you don't need it

I don't think so it's kind of weird just upload a video of that on YouTube yeah who cares about us who care about you there's a YouTube I mean yeah I'm sure eventually

just hang out the server long enough you'll see pictures and videos yeah just sit you're a live stream yeah just to stitch them together eventually you know it'll make a whole video well the fan is also

do have a video for the podcast eventually. Yeah. Once we get all the audio stuff sorted out, that's the next phase. PC Guru asks, what's the longest gaming session you've ever done? Wow, that's like a long time ago. Longest gaming session. I mean, it's probably been... But I used to play a while.

Like 12 hours. I was a little kid playing like NES, you know. Me and my cousin, I would spend the night at his house or you'd spend that at my house and we would just play Mario Brothers 3, like all night, just taking turns. Which is that one? Is that the one with the turnips? That's not the Mario Brothers 2. That's shaking my head.

Which is 3 again, I forget. Three is the one where the raccoon suit we could fly. Oh, yeah. Tanuki. Okay, yeah, I remember. I remember. Yeah, I mean, we wouldn't even sleep. We would just pull all-nighters.

And we were kids. I mean, that game came out when we were little kids, so I don't know, all night, man. Definitely not as long as the PSU guy plays Star Wars or everybody's playing. Like three days in a row. It's a real one never turn off their game. It's really weird to me. I believe the game always running. Tex-O-Aaste, the GFX guy wants to know.

Are you planning on peripherals for streamers like webcams and other stuff? Evan? Asking if we're going to make them? Yeah. I can't really say we are yes or no. We're going to make any product. But all I can say is, you know, we want to take over the world. So we want to make everything, including scooters one day.

So hopefully. I would definitely buy a 9-60 scooter. I want a skater. I would buy a 9-60 scooter day one. As long as the tires don't pop when you go over a tiny crack. Oh, yeah, I got another flat tire today on my scooter. So I haven't had this electric scooter for the longest time.

Actually, it wasn't even long. Maybe like since we got to the new office, right? Yeah, since we moved here. Like two months? The first week we moved here, I got the scooter. Yeah. And he's already popped both of his tires and has replaced them with these airless tires,

but apparently it is a pain of the butt through and replace them. Yeah, I'm going to have a fun time in night. Oh, no. Are you doing tonight? Yeah. Oh, yikes. Yeah, because I have to ride my scooter to work tomorrow. Oh, okay.

I mean, you know this is walk or call an Uber. I could, but I rather ride my scooter. Live the Jared life. Uber ever wet. It's fun on the scooter. Hambo, what's, who's the tallest person at NZXT? How tall are they? Who's the tallest person?

So you? Pretty sure it's you. No, yeah, Josh. Josh, definitely, yeah. Josh, let Trent. Josh is a giant. Josh is like six foot. No, not Jaros.

Um, Josh. Lettendous. Is he, uh, part of team. Tall dude. He says right, Nessa Patrick. You know who he is. Well.

Oh, well, that's unfortunate. He's like six foot six or something like that. I don't remember. He's a giant. Yeah, he's like pretty tall. Yeah. Savage wants to know which game you're all, uh, were y'all the most excited for it to come out, I guess in the past.

Uh, Which game are you all excited? In the past? In the past. I haven't got hype for a game forever. Let's see. For me, it's just Pokemon, Pokemon, and Pokemon. Animal Crossing.

The last game I was really hyped about, let me down. It was a Crystal Crisis. Because I was a big puzzle fighter fan. And I got really bummed out when Capcom pulled it from, because it was a mobile game. So Capcom just randomly pulled puzzle fighters. despite the fact that it had tons of people playing it and it was a fun game so Crystal Crisis is a not a copy but it's a similar game right puzzle fighter and

super excited I you know pre-ordered and everything and then the loading screens are longer than GTA 5 so I played it once and I was like I'm not gonna play this ever again oh yeah so Riz if asked if are you planning on making a chair like a collab with someone. We do that. We low-key have a rigue chair on our site under, I think, gaming accessories.

So we want to check it out. NZT.c.co. chair. I'm also. N-Z-E-60 phone. Sure. Yeah, we want to make everything. Okay.

Yeah, we'll do it. Cam-powered scooter. I'm super down for a can-powered scooter. Let's see. Oh, that's a good question. From Logi. Whose idea was a huge anime at N-A-W-W?

X-T. Sorry, I remember exactly how that happened. I think it was Eric. Eric, it was after anime X-O last year. Eric came back from the expo with a gift for Johnny. Johnny's favorite anime is One Punch Man.

And he brought him back a scroll of One Punch Man. And he brought that and the Tom Cruise posted. He just put him out. I remember that was, we had just built the build cage, the infamous build cage were at our old warehouse and he just brought him in after the expo and he hung him up and

because Johnny loves one punchman he saw it and he's like whoa that's pretty cool and I guess Eric heard Johnny say that was cool so next thing you know the next day there was another poster and then another and another before you knew it the whole cage was just covered in an anime poster I think at that time Harry asked he's the manager of build he was just like Hey, everybody, give me comments of what your favorite anime is or favorite anime lost girl poster. And we just gave him links and he actually, I think he bought every single one that. We had to put him up in this new warehouse. I mean, yeah, they put it somewhere.

But I mean, like, at the time he was ordering like, you know, whoever was working in build at the time. And then we just start posting him up slowly. Yeah, it's a little lacking in there. It doesn't feel personally. Now, nowhere, we haven't, we're just moving in. I mean, we have a bunch of decorations that haven't put up. And it's been nonstop too. It's been like nonstop.

Like, since we moved here, so many things happening all at once. Once we get the whole podcast room set up, I have my, I want to believe, puck poster. Oh, yes, his famous frame. I have it at my house right now. Used to be behind me at the old office. Money wants to know. UK pop up when? Nothing planned, but hopefully soon, one day.

All around the world. What do you guys think, a piece of a guru? What do you think about the new cyberpunk games coming out? Looks cool. I mean, I won't. The only thing that excites me about that game is Keanu Reeves memes. That's not so much the game, but I just want to see more memes. Mr. Fluffles for Vivian, what gun is your favorite since you play Airsoft?

The Chris Factor. Why are you flexing on me, Vivian? Why? Flexing your guns. Yes, the phone case. I think. Let's see. Savage astronaut.

What did Johnny think of the Tom Cruise poster? I'm sure he loved it. Same thing he thinks about everything we do. He just thinks it's hilarious if we're having fun. He loves seeing everyone have fun. Let's see. I'm trying to find questions that are actual questions for us. It's random questions.

Dan, when can you get Ivan to travel to Germany? When it's not work-related. There we go. Easy-peasy. If you don't get a work, we won't do it. All right, so I think with that, I probably going to close it off here. Because questions we look, they're getting a little dry.

Vivian, thank you very much for being here. Really appreciate it. Of course. Thank you for inviting me. Of course. Thank you for protecting the server, Vivian. I try. Everyone to throw mommies in the chat.

But don't spam. Yeah, but don't spam. Yeah, but don't spam. Yeah, but don't spam. Don't break the rules. Don't forget. The current challenge for the server is no warns, bans, or what else?

It's warns bands, right? Warns bands are mute. Mutes. Warns, mute or ban for things. 30 days. But before we sign off, there is one more piece of news. Oh, what is it? The cam update.

Oh, yeah, huh? Forget about that. Yeah, so we recently updated our software cam to cam 4.0, so it's like the official non-preview version. It's actually called NZT cam. Oh, really? It's not just called CAM. It's N60 CAM.

Well, I mean, that's where we're just calling it. Okay. Well, NCXT CAM has been updated to version 4.0. It's like NGXT build. Yeah. And it's a smoother, better version of cam. It's been rebuilt from the ground up. So even though it looks the same, it's pretty much all brand new.

Well, it looks different. It looks the same to you because you've been using the previews. I mean, you know, forever. It looks the same. Wow, you're right on. You've been using, you haven't been using the older. You've always been using the previews, so that's why. I think I used 3.7, like, cool for like a little bit.

So, yeah, like it wasn't that different. We had the preview version, beta version, however you want to call it, on the server for like a year. Yeah, I think so. Real long time, yeah. And we've been, with all the better testers, we've been gaining tons of feedback and redesigning the app from the ground up. It basically addresses all the issues and complaints that people had with the first pieces or the other version. Right, right. There's still some issues that are being worked on, but for the most part, the reception has been great.

Most people are very, very happy with the update. But like I said, it's still a work in progress, still not 100%, but it's getting there. It's almost there. And I've been using the preview version for a while, too, and for me it's awesome. I love it. Yeah, definitely, definitely like on my PC at home, it's a lot better.
