that's a good point Savage says we should let her pick the album art for this
podcast oh yeah oh she should actually draw it
oh that's a good idea
you should draw something for the podcast
Okay. Then this podcast will never air.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It took a million years.
So for those who are listening off of SoundCloud or other platforms, we do record the podcast live on our Discord.
That's Discord.g.g. slash NZXT.
If you're not here live, then sucks to be you.
I mean, it's true, right?
We haven't done a live podcast on a Friday in a while.
No, we haven't.
Last week was, we did well Wednesday because I was at TwitchCon the whole weekend.
And I even didn't want to do it.
it. I told him you should have done a solo podcast.
Did you even record early? You should have done a solo podcast on Friday. Just hopped on and
talk for like two hours about whatever you want. I do a solo podcast actually just for myself.
Oh yeah? Yeah. Where? When I go my walks. Yeah, I walk around and I talk to myself.
Really? Yeah. I record everything I say too.
How are you right, Irene. Do you ever talk to yourself? All the time. Yeah. Yeah.
What kind of care positions do you have with yourself?
Um, how are my plants doing? Uh-huh. How are your plants doing?
They're okay. They're, okay. They
telling me they're doing fine.
Yeah.
I'm turning green or, I mean, yellow.
Is there like a special accent for these, for these plants?
Like, do they, do like a funny accent or like, are they foreign plants or are they, like,
natural, national born plants?
Succulents.
I don't know where succulents come from.
Drier area.
What's the point of succulents?
I don't know.
Because you don't do anything with them, right?
Like, they just sit there.
They just look pretty.
How often you have to water or succulent?
I would say.
at most twice a week.
I mean, sorry, twice every two weeks
you would water once.
Stop right there, criminal stuff.
That's too much water.
How dare you water the succulent so hot?
Do you guys like my sound effects?
I do.
I don't.
I love it.
It's awesome.
I think if you're going to do them,
we should do them right.
The only reason I'm on this podcast is
because you're bored.
You do sound effects, man.
I feel like whenever Ivan does a sound effects
because he's bored. He's like, all right,
it's time for me to send me to unbore myself when you play some funny noises.
But we really should get some equipment to do that.
There's like, like, we can literally get like a stream deck and have that like be a thing.
Like it shouldn't be that hard to do.
Oh, that's hot.
That's hot.
Is that Will Smith?
Yeah, it's from the, from the YouTube rewind video.
Wow.
So Irene, where did you come from?
How did you end up at ZXT?
Um, well, I came from the restaurant industry.
And then I was like, hey, you.
You know what?
Were you cook?
Well, it's a restaurant and I was doing graphic design there.
What do you design graphically for restaurants?
Like the menu or like?
Yeah, the menu, the posters, branding the logos.
Ah.
Everything that I do here.
Did you do the, did you design like the monograms and the napkins?
We were going to.
She's the one that invented the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich.
No way.
No way.
What?
Just kidding.
That's why they're clothes on Sundays.
They don't want to work.
You know I went to one on a Sunday and it closed.
I was like, I didn't know about that.
Really?
Yeah.
No?
I actually really think it's cool that.
I appreciate that.
They do that because I'm sure the people that work there,
they love not working on Sundays, right?
Yeah.
I think it's cool.
I can respect someone with just saying, you know what?
I'm not going to work on Sunday.
I'm going to take it for myself.
All right?
I respect that.
This is Dennis. I'll be like, get to work.
Social media don't sleep.
I don't care what day it is.
He'll send me messages and I'll see it.
And I'm like, I read it.
I don't need to respond.
I'm already doing what he wants it to do.
So you were in the restaurant industry.
And how did you go from restaurants to a PC video game builder component company?
I was.
Slash me machine.
I was doing more of the branding there.
I didn't do a lot of it.
and I wanted to do design.
So I started kind of browsing and then I saw NCXT.
I was like, dude, this company looks dope.
And you're like, what the heck is the next?
Right?
I was like, what's NXT?
Sure.
And she looked at the social media and she's like, this sucks.
I could totally fix that.
Let me work there.
What's this page?
But anyway, so I was looking at the community and I really just fell in love with the culture.
by reading what NCXT was all about.
So I applied.
And I thankfully got the position.
And it's there.
Has I never told you that you have a perfect voice for ASMR?
Oh, really?
There you go.
I like it.
She was, oh, really?
My guys.
Oh, no one's never told me that.
You should do ASMR cast.
Oh, thank you.
So let's talk in the low whisper for the rest of the podcast.
Br.
I just realized that.
I'm sorry.
This is why you guys get the...
There you go.
That's right there.
I'm taking your phone away.
I just downloaded the soundboard app.
Sorry.
I didn't oopsies.
Okay, anyway, Irene, we're doing...
We're doing ASMR now.
So, what do you do every day at ZXT in an ASMR style?
So I...
Get closer to the microphone.
Well, I've been.
Let me talk.
So I design...
Uh-huh.
social media stuff.
Like what?
Like banners and then I have to come up with concepts of...
Like what?
What kind of concepts?
You can talk about the thing we're working on for Halloween if you want.
Yeah, that's actually...
Or how about you talk about what we did last Christmas?
Ooh, that's a good idea.
That was probably the first big thing you worked on for community.
Oh, yeah.
So we created...
We were thinking of what we wanted to do for the community.
I'm like, hey, well, we have a coloring contest for the community.
I literally just saw her pick up like a little thing to play with and I'm like, I'm taking that away from you.
I need.
I did you 100% attention.
I am.
Okay.
Okay, fine.
Thank you.
I take that this.
So we wanted to do something for a community and we came out with the coloring contest.
And then we drew different products of NZX.
I'm sorry, different NCXT products and we got creative.
The community got creative with it.
Also staff.
So we had a company-wide contest and then we had community vote on their favorite artwork.
I believe Alba won for the puck on a sleigh, I believe it was.
Hers was amazing.
We blew that picture up and framed it in our old office.
I don't know where it's at now.
It's probably somewhere in the warehouse.
Maybe.
I would say.
I should have won.
Andy or Andy should have won because his art was Puck with my name on it.
That was his art.
That's brilliant.
He got the second most votes, actually.
So you do graphic design, right?
You do like employee type internal contests, I guess you can say as well.
Or like what would like that fall under like the Christmas thing that,
that we did. Fustering community within the company as well as you know outside the
company core value baby core values baby so what's your favorite core value
value fostering the community good answer that's why she's here folks trying to
foster that community I have actually wrote a bunch of questions for you I

And then we'll make her learn how to design Pucci or something like that.
That's exactly.
That's cool.

A little bit.
A little bit.
Yeah.
A poikito is total.
So how long were you in Venezuela for?
then? Only till I was three.
He never
once encountered Spanish? It seems so
weird that you would spend three years there like
is it like a big Chinese population in
Venezuela or something or like? No, I don't
believe so. So you just
would stay at home all day? Like I'm just
I was three years old. What would I be
doing? I don't know. From
ages zero to

no what's the best age 25 if Voldemore offered you a hug would you accept yes is double
dipping at a party ever acceptable never ever I will stop here I have I have six pages of
questions we're barely just finished page one I'm done to do the the entire thing
is great I have a bunch of questions for Irene and crying minds want to know about
IQ big IQ Ivan do you have any stories about Irene because now you've been
working with her for long than I have stories I haven't got stories for everybody
no I'm very quiet Irene is probably the most improved Mario Kart player I've
ever seen in my life
When she first started working here, she didn't own a Switch.
She never played Mario Kart.
And then, Vivian.
And then Gin, Irene's boss, I believe, literally just forced you to buy a Switch.
Mario Kart.
And he's like, you have to play this game with us every day at 12 and 4.
And at our old office, we used to play a lot every day at 12 and 4.
And at the beginning, Irene used to get really frustrated because we were just like,
ponder, man.
We really had no respect for her whatsoever.
We were like, get good news.
No, Ivan said, you suck.
Stay that way.
Yeah.
But that's how you got better, right?
Like, you're such a lot.
Yeah, I would tell her she sucked every day,
but every day she got a little bit better, a little bit better
until she got good enough to actually beat me, beat Jim,
she beat everyone at least once.
I was really happy when I beat Jen.
You got really, really good.
Gin's very hard to beat.
I don't think I've ever beat Jen.
You should try.
Well, we don't play anymore, so I can't.
I think we should start.
The chance is gone.
No, we put Tetris, man.
Yeah.
Irene so Irene is playing Tetris now.
I am.
Are you still playing?
Yeah, I just haven't brought my switch in.
I brought my switch today.
I was going to, but I knew we had stuff to today, so Kedina didn't see the point to bring it.
But I remember when I started beating Irene at Myr-Cart.
She was getting so mad.
Yeah, Irene got really good.
You're a new guy.
Why are you beating me?
Uh-huh.
I mean, I played more video games than you probably.
Sure, but.
Like literally all I do if I'm not here or.
I think the first question I asked, are you good?
I was like, nope, and I wasn't good.
And then I quickly learned because Ivan kept telling me that I sucked.
So I had to unsuck.
That's my teaching method.
I berate people until they get good.
It works for some people.
You suck.
Stay that way.
Thanks, appreciate that.
That made you get good.
Yeah.
Thanks, dude.
So I have kind of a interesting.
I mean, not really interesting, but like yesterday, right?
So she knew we were doing the podcast today.
We had it all scheduled out and everything.
And she comes up to me because we're meeting with a friend of hers today for lunch for a project that we can't talk about right now.
But it will very, very soon.
And she comes up to me.
She goes, you did an RCP?
For what?
For the meeting tomorrow?
I'm like, for the meeting we're having a podcast tomorrow for the lunch.
I'm like, I'm going to be there.
I'm going to be there at the podcast.
like what I don't know
what the heck is that
someone's rolling a card around here
there's always cards around here
oh yeah that was excellent click right there
blind day for 10
all right so
sorry we didn't
go out on the chat sometimes
so
to go back so
what games do you play
What? So what made you want to work at NZXT?
She said that.
She answered that.
No, not really.
She said the culture.
Yeah, but I mean, like, I'm sure there's like a lot of companies that have like cool cultures, right?
A lot of like tech companies.
Like why a computer company to start?
Because were you ever like a big PC gamer?
No.
Not at all.
Did you ever play on PC?
Do you ever build PCs?
Any interest in like computers?
My ex-boyfriend did.
So I did learn.
I know.
Shout out.
What's his name?
What's his name?
Can't say.
Hit us with the Insta.
He did and I did learn a little bit from him just a little bit.
And I never thought I would have been in this industry.
So that's pretty cool.
But to answer your question why everything looks so sleek.
Like the branding aspect of it and I was like, wow.
of it and I was like wow this is like a really cool company too what's it like working here every day
especially for you because you are uh one of the three departments that is in its own separate room
so it's only accounting customer service and creative that are in their own little well I guess the
the build team also people ups has their own room to so yeah there's five yes they're not really the
only okay so five but everyone else pretty much you know in what we call the pit area so what's it
like just working here every day being in that little room it's super awesome yeah yeah it's cool um
what's your day to day day day you get in the first thing what happens i get my coffee uh-huh wait from
the machine over here yeah that thing's gross someone needs to clean that thanks should probably be you
no thank you you you should add it to your creative list of endeavors how can you create it i think we're
changing coffee. Yeah, we are. Yeah, I saw, I saw this guy walk in. Yeah, no. So we were in a,
was it a meeting? Yeah. We were walking in a meeting some guy was saying up out there. Yeah,
they're like five like coffee things. And I saw Edmund, who's our HR, right,
facility, facilities manager, yeah. And he's talking to this bald dude who looks super unenthused
to be here. He looks super, like, he was just there. He gave me free tea. He's like,
You should try these tuzzle passion tea.
I actually have a picture of the ball dude.
I'm going to post it in the podcast chat right now.
He was really nice.
We should really have a sign in front of the door that's like if you enter this building,
you will get a picture taken of you at one point.
Yeah, I think that's.
Yeah, but no, the coffee was really good.
He brought donuts.
He just like, I think he was like making a sale.
Like I think he's like part of a company that like goes around and like deliver coffee to offices,
which is like super smart because I don't want to make my own coffee.
I think so.
as it looked like because he says something about a delivery guy coming in.
Oh, I think delivering the coffee beans.
I don't know.
Someone's going to make that coffee.
It ain't going to be me.
But he was making a sale and he didn't look excited at all to be here in the office.
He was just chilling.
I actually thought he did a good job because we've had other coffee salesmen here who they'll just knock and they'll be like, hey,
you want some coffee?
I deliver coffee in this area and here are some samples and then just give us like boxes and leave.
And this guy had a whole setup and he brought donuts and cookies.
No, I mean, they're wrong.
His setup was really good.
His presentation was great.
Just every time I saw him,
he looked like he was smiling or like,
I'm here to,
you know,
happy salesman,
hear him,
you know.
He's probably as happy as you could be selling coffee,
door-to-door and city of industry.
I don't mean.
I don't think he was door-to-door.
But anyway,
I'm pretty sure he's door-to-door.
The coffee was really good.
No,
coffee was very,
very good.
I just don't remember the name of it.
Starbucks.
Okay,
so you get your coffee.
Then what?
Then I go back
Go back where
To the office
What part of the office?
Her office
Okay
The creative office
The creative hole
Yes
Cave
Sure yeah
If you want to call the cave
Yeah cave
And then I just start my day
Doing what
Checking email
And then looking at the list of
So your social request
Uh huh
Am I in again?
I feel like we do annoy you sometimes.
Aw, no, you don't.
Yeah, I'm also afraid to ask you for stuff
because I know you're really busy.
And I assume things take so long
because you're really busy.
So, like, I don't want to ask for anything else.
And Irene always bless her heart.
She'll message us back like at 6 p.m.
or 7 p.m. on like on a Friday night or something.
Do you guys still need these banners?
You're like, uh, yeah.
Yeah, but, yeah.
You do work really hard.
Thank you.
We appreciate you.
Thank you.
We're just saying that.
I know.
I've been like,
where are my batters?
Yeah,
so what's what I do?
You guys have to do a lot of,
a lot of work.
This is nonstop because it's not just social media.
You guys do, you know, basically every...
A lot of departments.
Like all the art that's on our boxes,
our packaging,
our instructional material,
or whatever,
everything that people see you guys,
are working on.
So it's basically everything, right?
With the exception, like,
the only thing you guys aren't doing
is designing the actual product.
Right.
But everything else is like,
you guys are definitely busy, busy with.
How was it,
how I'm going to do the work for the pop-up?
Because you guys did a lot of creative work with pop-up
and that was,
I mean, we had like completely unique art
and everything for the pop-ups.
Like, what, what,
how was that?
That was chaos.
You must have made at least,
at least 100 banners for social.
I think it was
insane, yeah.
Because we had five banners
for each meeting greet, and we had like 20 meet and greet.
So that right there is 100 banners.
And then all the drops and
all the other stuff that was going on,
like the cyber caffeine and whatnot.
So that was pretty intense, I must say,

So what was your favorite part of doing the pop-up prep?
What did you like the most?
I think.

And then the menu was a cool challenge.
Menu for,
Oh, yeah.
But my favorite thing that you guys did was the Snapchat filters.
Ah.
As we were cool.
Yeah, because we've never done Snapchat filters.
And it was just cool because we were able to have a little bit more fun.
So it was just poochy kind of, you know, peeking out at people and stuff.
And people actually came in from the Snapchat filters.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
And also the anime Expo Flyers, those look really cool.
Everything guys do looks really, really cool.

Yeah, you were, you're talking a mess.
You were dropping a hot 16 bars to a fat beat about Andy.
No.
Rap battle time.
We should have you and Andy on and do a rap battle.
That'd be great.
That would be horrible.
That'd be the best thing in the world, I think.
No.
Andy doesn't have bars.
We would take over the Joe Rogan podcast if we did that.
He could do nothing to compete.
He doesn't have an Andy.
Andy has bars, but they're just Cardi B rhymes.
He steals them from Cardi.

Poochie's best friend.
You can work on that.
How about something that can fit inside of Pucci, like a little.
That'd be cool.
Like a little square guy?
A little square thing that just fits inside Pucci.
Plug up that hole.
Everyone wants to stick stuff there.
What does friends name be?
Well, it'll probably have to be like another NXT thing.
So what else do we make that square?
Like a little case?
Nah.
Case would be weird.
What if you had like a whole line of like just square things that fit into each other?
So Poochie's like one part of the puzzle.

Are you?
vegetarian. No, I just don't know why there's hot dogs inside of a pastry.
It's delicious. And like, like, I've had croissants, right? They're like, you know, like the

So we do have a little regional teams.
Like marketing and sales team over there that's sponsoring streamers and things like that, doing promotions and going to events, things like that.
But not an official office.
Yeah. It's more like a team that handles the regional sales in that area.
And marketing.
Yeah. Same way with like, you know, Latin America, stuff like that.
Depending on the country, the teams look a little bit bigger, you know.
We have three offices.

There's someone that works here now
that their license plate
is literally anime king.
Oh, wow.
Wow.
Yeah, because the other day, I walked outside.
I think it's very ambitious to car yourself.
Well, there was a car parked in the, not in a parking spot.
You know that spot right here where it's like you're not supposed to park?
Parked in the spot.
We're not supposed to in front of the building.
Everyone parks there for some reason.
I complain about that multiple times.
I'm that guy.
First time I saw that car, I was like, this car is, this must be a new employee.
And it was a really cool car.
It was like a really like cool Mazza.
It's not cool because it's parked in the wrong spot.
And I get closer and then look at the license plate and it says,
anime king
and I was like wow
I was like damn
McKay got a new car
favorite bald person

I mean October because I'm on October baby, so I'm never heard of Ovo.
You never heard of Ovo?
Never heard of Ovo.
October's very young.
Wow.

I just saw OVO.
Everyone calls it OBOO.
October is very young.
How can we stop global warming?
Stop.
I know how we can.
can stop. Stop farty. So no, I recently, just last week, I read this, no, serious. I read this
article, because you know, like, all these, like, global warming stuff, all these people are
protesting all over the world, right? And it's a serious issue because, yeah, it's freaking hot.
Like, it's freaking hot. When I was a kid, I don't remember it ever being, like, if it was
100 degrees, it was like, whoa, like, that's so weird. Now it's like, we go weeks where it's like
100 degrees every day. I remember last.
summer last year there was two weeks straight where it was over 100 degrees every single day at work
so yeah it's obviously something something's changing right yeah but um so anyway i read this article
and then um what was interesting is that for the first time ever apparently the ozone is actually
improving it's like shrinking and there's like some people that think it's aliens that are helping us
And that's why there's been like an uptick in UFO sightings lately.
I hope they're helping us.
Like apparently like maybe the aliens are just, you know, from outer space.
We're seeing, hey, these guys are really messy up the planet.
Let's just help them out a little bit.
I hope that's what's happening.
Should I start streaming?
No.
If you have to ask, then no.
This is my answer.
You should start screaming.
What else?
Would you please make some dope poochie art for Instagram?
Sure.
