this kid and then when you got big on my show I think I need him wait so you watch a star up series mm-hmm back then also yeah I watched it when you were how did you discover on their eyes I don't know I think I'm not entirely sure cuz cuz you're all wait oh no I didn't watch it as you were posting I don't think oh yeah yeah I think it was right after you finished startup series and then I was I went back and watched all see you so like why cuz they're trying to text so I don't get why you watch oh the startup series or just in general well sorry series is just ah yeah yeah yeah Susan you know there are so many people that still think it's real yeah they're like it's like why don't like nog lime yeah you just continue you're not vine startup like why do you have to get another job I'm like interested in tech a little bit yeah nas is fresher in college with explorers have you ever taken a CS class in high school yeah in high school and how was that it was okay when I didn't really have like what did they teach you they taught us Java I've tried to I try doesn't like spent one month more like a few weeks name like Swift or like icon but is that after studied in four years he had a really really easy job oh my god shitty filmmaker so as I was saying yeah yeah yes I did your microphone as a CS major you know you can come out a software engineering degree making like 150 to 200 K right off college and then you can afford this place so think twice before you start your business major okay and you to argue this video is experimental yeah what's looks the most time when you make videos or something love for me used to be planning because I used to script my videos oh really yes honey but not anymore not anymore at all it's it's completely editing yeah I'm something out so I just add every single video so what's the best-case scenario with your YouTube channel would you like to change content direction this is I love to do like I'd love to do more creator self with videography one day just like very much just like you know like travel videos except for my daily life oh yes with the cinematography with the narrative I think a lot of travel videos are all effects and not enough narrative oh okay straight oh lucky again those are both unintentional job [Music] might be here might be here while nice she actually really good I could tell that's very cool yes jump shot jump shot it this yeah try not to hit the camera anyways oh-ho this is this is Rp now and I'm gonna show him a tour oh I didn't know you guys would dress up i'm literally my pajamas but it's fine yeah actually thumbs up for this well he's not dressed up he always wears this well that it looks good though like it yeah okay it's it's her brand I guess so her outfits are my branding anyways so this is the living room you know I bought a new projector it's probably gonna take a while to turn on so I'm not gonna turn on but anyways you could come here and film this where do you know what this is is it a wireless phone charger it's a very expensive coaster but yeah hmm Wow you know I always wondered what would happen if I uh if I charge my phone it's gonna blow up or maybe it it goes to 100 percent faster hey I need a project you're so big well I didn't know it was gonna be that big I thought it was gonna be this size but yeah so I bought like the most expensive one as an inch and I work intact okay okay and because I work in tag I'm able to afford this oh [ __ ] yes some SNES that's cute so but yeah if you didn't enjoy CS for your first class it doesn't matter because if you grind for a little bit not your separate life okay I don't know if money is important to you but for me it's important to feel you know free so you can buy a big s forget today I'm just like financial freedom you're like oh man Palo Alto restaurants are so expensive yeah I don't even think about the bill and I just I just eat whatever I want y'all look at this sick ass video Oh who's this a youtuber y'all know he looks trash wait how my good friend she crazy I hate watching myself me too oh man I can't wait let's watch your channel wait no no and an RP okay your channels kind of hard to find Eliot Choi okay there we go Eliot 25 Eliot Troy Eliot Harvard oh man look at these thumbnails man they're so high quality so did you know that if you if you made a Harvard video it would blow up even though that you don't go to Harvard yeah makes sense are there any youtubers you guys don't like you mean just like in general yeah um I might make a [ __ ] just one guy who lives in like Mountain View mm-hmm yeah she's kind of a arrogant rich prick after oh that's the guy I see guys crazy this is not about to do it no it's City Oh same difference yeah yeah [ __ ] did why do you always wear adidas I'm so comfortable do you have any other campus no I just have but they're pretty though I you should have some oh yeah let me show you might be this mess okay so I bought these first for myself and then when I watched a 1 million studio they all had it wow they [ __ ] copied me man yeah clearly oh yeah yes all right let's go back and pretend you didn't see my room all right let me show you my dope ass room and what you can get if you have a sick mass salary okay all right first you got my sick huh oh why do you even need it that's just like excessive at that point yeah I think for pornography is really good because what they don't even make that aspect ratio in porn I mean yeah I know but but it's not about watching one video for me at least I think I'm a lot different oh I got it one two tasks right right so what I do is I have like yeah and then another cool thing that you can do is it can act as two different liners and this is actually impressive for example now this monitor is attached to my computer while this one is attached to so crazy thought what if you had two monitors hmm with yet two monitors and double the price why would I pay twice for honor yeah but then again it's like this is like 16 double the price yeah wipe the question I had to modulate oh yeah what if I do want something in between whatever I'm just rich bro okay that's that's something here here you know where I could wirelessly charge my phone Shepard's my form okay let's pretend this is my phone so it's slightly better because back then I would have to plug my phone in right uh-huh and when I wake up I'd have to detach it uh-huh which requires an extra step but now when I wake up I'm just like this that's that's crazy deep boom yeah and also I want to try I was really hoping for this one thing I'll tell you what it is I was hoping that this would work because this is like a wireless charging all it's doing it's doing something yeah it's freaking out look Oh what you're supposed to do this is actually an annoying you're supposed to charge Oh like this and then there's wireless charging uh-huh yeah so I thought it would be the same kind of Larnaca it's not okay so I should DC us to get to get wired Shah Mardan everywhere more efficient toothbrush and marginally oh I didn't even see that now you got me into like like it spits out elastic you're closer to the to the head look see see oh my god like it was like just another e alright also Sensodyne it's the most expensive kitchen yeah so pretty quick and then sarathi you use that too right I do yeah good [ __ ] what also have this impressive here I used to have an iPad here and I would watch kpop while I brush my teeth as well but I've outgrown that now you have like a TV inside of your mirrors anything ya know be sick but not on oh my god Elliott oh it's still sick I like this youtuber yeah I don't know about that you see modest and nice cuz like I know Elliott likes gear and yeah here I got a microphone it's why I do my blog I pull it here and I talk and then I put my camera here and then I connect this to the camera so that I could see what I look like pretty cool right what's your setup like probably not as cool as my iPhone on the tripod listen the time all I did you have an iPhone that's not bad what are you a phone Elliot let's say okay and then oh yeah our paws you guys I'm a possum no I don't did apparently it's purge NZ like this is like a rich show I guess I can't be in the upper class you know I don't know if I can be hit bad yeah but yeah I mean I bought it when it first came out so are the second ones coming soon no they already are you don't have them I thought you would yeah I know I thought I thought you were in tech yeah I know but okay I know I'm gonna hit up I'm gonna buy them oh yeah the second ones are pretty good because they're Wireless sure but mine or not yeah Apple watch see this is one thing I've never understood what what is it for yeah absolutely nothing it's actually just to tell people you're rich and right but mine is trash because the red thought is not there okay but people still know you're rich no okay well we'll only if I hide if I hide it well because this is actually generation 3 not generation 4 generation 4 is the latest version this is all going right over my head I don't know anyways how do you think these notes cost 12 bucks each I think it's like 30 bucks each let me use my extremely comb on or to check it out but like why why though cuz I'm rich man 50 bucks 35 bucks and I'm not sure this one I think this was a Kiwi if you just didn't buy all of these uh-huh how much richer would have been you'd be $150 with you you you could probably save us for the next ear plugs the single forever okay okay right right you're rich I'm sorry I just you don't take into my savings account okay okay what else what else well how much you think these costs that looks like to [ __ ] you buy a Walmart yeah that's a cue for you it's actually pretty cheap trash but then this is actually legit it's a real painter like if you look closely it's paint you know I like this try isn't it why don't you put this next to

it and then send it as a snap pretty cool right yeah yeah look at look at this I have a mouse and a trackpad but why redundancy if you if you learned about CS you would know we're we're done and C is all about imagine you have a hard drive and you have all your files there what happens if your hard drives die you lose our files right so redundancy is about copying those files into different you know different hard drives right so that if you lose one you're not gonna lose all of it right so uh but but why to for redundant and like imagine if like I'm like oh man my mouse doesn't work anymore [ __ ] and then if you bought an expensive Mouse shouldn't it work but it's not it's not that expensive I have a cheap Mouse not because I'm poor it's because I actually like cheap Mouse's see that's
