It was a huge gamble for me moving across the country to work at LMG, but it has been an amazing experience so far. It’s really weird working for a company that cares about you as a human being and I really appreciate that. Big fan of everyone I work with as well! Great group!
Before I got my job at LMG, I applied for a job and got an interview with another company. Two minutes after that interview was scheduled to start, they cancelled it. Anyway, that company was WeWork, and they went bankrupt.

Reporter who interviews players in the tunnel between periods. The only line you need to know is “What are you going to focus on in the second half?”
I frequently search stupid cars to replace my completely paid for, reliable, Fusion. Today I have discovered that there are 5 Dodge Vipers for sale within 5 minutes of my house.
Firstly: if you see someone shoplifting groceries, you didn’t see shit. Secondly: if a major retailer tells you that they have to jack up the prices because of theft, they were planning to do that anyway and this is their excuse

My grandfather ripped his ring finger off when it got caught on a truck at the airfield he was stationed at during the war. Because of this, I have always assumed the correct time to wear your wedding ring is “never”.

Do you think you could go without a cell phone for a month? If it were socially acceptable, and I didn’t need it at work, I don’t think I’d have one.
I follow a lot of carpet cleaning channels on YouTube. One thing I’ll never understand is people wearing their shoes inside their house. Your shoes walk over so much gross crap, and then you track it through your house. Gross
There's a thread on the LTT Reddit asking why people "steal" things from the office. I don't have a Reddit account, but there are a lot of really wild responses and some that are perhaps closer to the mark.
Ok here's my take on why milk in bags is superior to the jug: you can space it out in your fridge. What if you don't have enough room for a gallon jug in your fridge? What do? Also you get more milk in the bag because the bags are 1L each and a gallon is only 3.78L.
Note: if many people who you follow or like also follow me, it is highly probable that the algorithm will recommend my tweets. It’s not super sophisticated.
In coming months, we will offer the ability to adjust the algorithm to closer match what is most compelling to you.
It’s wild, you can follow someone on YouTube or wherever for years, but then you find out they support the loony toons babies marching in the streets, and unsubscribing becomes so easy.
Well what you do is you apply for another job with them that you’re wildly unqualified for, get an interview for that job and then eventually get the job you originally applied for.
We had to reassemble the chiller to bring it back to the office. When we got it back together, there was one screw left over. Anyway, I found it in my washing machine today.

Yeah I got rid of it recently after they jacked the price up again.
I think it was the AV Club that ran an article years ago that argued there were simply too many shows and people were being overwhelmed by choice. That’s how I feel about TV lately.

’s Noctua fans in his TV stand from today’s video, then you will love my two Thermaltake fans on a paint stick hooked up to a 12 volt wall wart. It works.
EARLIER TODAY, I leapt from my shower only to discover the floor of my kitchen was being flooded by an unknown source. ARMED only with my nakedness and keen powers of observation, I determined that it was my washing machine that was the culprit.
I just spent the last hour designing a Vantage on the Aston Martin website, and when you get to the end they don’t even tell you how much it costs. That’s the true sign of luxury
A friend works for one of the oil companies in Calgary and recently put in his two weeks notice because he had accepted another job offer. His boss told him that he would not accept his notice. Is not letting people quit a thing now?
I’m the guy modelling the bags on the LTT store. If you were wondering if they can hold your goodies you bought from Safeway, they sure can. Pretty slick.
I am continually haunted by the time I asked a colleague at Best Buy if they had gotten an oil change recently and they replied “the car came with oil”.
I just got 4 TikToks in a row saying Twitter is running a dev build in prod. While I have no idea what that means, programming TikTok seems to be VERY concerned about this.

One time I drove a car with no functioning gauges for an entire year. People say gambling is thrilling, but have you ever not known if your car was overheating or not?
I went to Vancouver yesterday for ramen, but the real story is this Chevron station out there in the water. Does it have a convenience store in it? Is everything inside nautical themed?
I worked for Best Buy Canada for 8 years before coming to LMG. The customer service in the video is about right. Fellow BB employees will remember the acronym SWAT “sell what’s available today”.
One time at Best Buy I helped a lost American tourist whose GPS unit did not have Canadian maps on it. When presented with the prospect of having to load the maps onto it he said “it already has the greatest country in the world!”. And then he left.

Man I want to like Teslas, but literally every time someone I know gets one they’re like “it’s great but sometimes the door handles don’t work” or whatever. And I just picture them being in this crazy love/hate relationship with their car like in Christine
What caused the washing machine to go rogue? The drawstring from one of my hoodies ended up in the pump.
What can we learn from this? Absolutely nothing.
This concludes my tale of woe.
