Then this podcast will never air.
Starting point is 00:02:07 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.
Starting point is 00:02:27 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.
Starting point is 00:02:51 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?
Starting point is 00:03:09 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?
Starting point is 00:03:28 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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,
Starting point is 00:03:56 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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?
Starting point is 00:04:39 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?
Starting point is 00:04:57 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.
Starting point is 00:05:14 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.
Starting point is 00:05:28 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?
Starting point is 00:05:42 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.
Starting point is 00:05:53 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.
Starting point is 00:06:14 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.
Starting point is 00:06:30 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.
Starting point is 00:06:55 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.
Starting point is 00:07:10 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.
Starting point is 00:07:24 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?
Starting point is 00:07:36 So I... Get closer to the microphone. Well, I've been. Let me talk. So I design... Uh-huh. social media stuff. Like what?
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:22 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.
Starting point is 00:08:42 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.
Starting point is 00:09:03 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.
Starting point is 00:09:25 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.

Starting point is 00:21:03 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.
Starting point is 00:21:26 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?
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:28 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.
Starting point is 00:22:42 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.
Starting point is 00:22:57 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.
Starting point is 00:23:22 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.
Starting point is 00:23:34 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
Starting point is 00:23:54 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.
Starting point is 00:24:12 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?
Starting point is 00:24:28 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?
Starting point is 00:24:38 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
Starting point is 00:25:07 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
Starting point is 00:25:54 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.
Starting point is 00:26:29 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,
Starting point is 00:26:47 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.
Starting point is 00:27:07 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.
Starting point is 00:27:28 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,
Starting point is 00:27:35 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,
Starting point is 00:27:43 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
Starting point is 00:27:54 To the office What part of the office? Her office Okay The creative office The creative hole Yes Cave
Starting point is 00:28:03 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
Starting point is 00:28:17 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.
Starting point is 00:28:29 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.
Starting point is 00:28:46 Thank you. We appreciate you. Thank you. We're just saying that. I know. I've been like, where are my batters? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:59 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,
Starting point is 00:29:13 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.
Starting point is 00:29:26 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
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Because we had five banners for each meeting greet, and we had like 20 meet and greet. So that right there is 100 banners.
