Hey guys, this is Austin. It's finally time for another Q and A. Before we get into it, this video is sponsored by Honor and their new View 10. I did an entire series talking about it over on the Honor channel with Jonathan Morrison and Sarah Detchee, and here's a sneak peek.
Here guys, Jonathan is back again with Austin Evans and Sarah Detchee. We just talked about AI, and I got a surprise. A surprise? Oh boy, tell me what. Close your eyes. Okay. Don't close your eyes. Okay. (laughing). Ohh, I think I know what this is.
What is it? It is the Honor View 10. Now, word on the street is that this is packing some power inside. So, what I think is cool is if you measure it in the work environment. Say your team all had these in their pocket. The idea that everyone has an actually smart assistant to help them kind of not be late to work or remember to text me when you're coming in late to work.
Not like anything specific I'm talking about. Or maybe a situation where you're out on production in a different country, maybe? And you'd have the actual translation. Yeah, so I've been in situations where you have to do interviews or meetings and it's sometimes a little hard to communicate when you don't know that language.
I think AI has a lot to do with taking data and taking so much information and really packing it into something that people can understand. Especially we make videos, we collaborate with people, I think bringing that into the workplace with collaborations saying oh this person can't make it. Maybe your calendar updates, and depending on other information, it makes new plans.
I think that's exciting to me. The idea that having something smart that opens up so many possibilities, right? Where it's like you might not necessarily think, oh let me connect this dot with that dot, but the phone is like, I know this is what you're doing and this is who you're talking to.
The more information it knows and when it actually has some intelligence behind it, it can sort of connect a lot of dots and make your life easier in a lot of ways. Generally speaking, gaming laptops are pretty good for video editing, and I really like the Acer Predator Helios 300. So, not only does it have a GTX 1060 but it also has a core i7, plenty of memory, an SSD.
That's great. And if you're on the final cut side of things, the MacBook Pro 15-inch has been honestly what I've been using to do any kind of video editing for like a year and a half now. What piece of tech are you most excited to see at CES? I feel like what I'm really, really pumped to see is more on the AI side of things.
The self-driving side of things. I know that this CES actually got to ride in a BMW that was fully self-driving or essentially fully self-driving. I was able to drive on the freeway, take my hands off the wheel, talk to Ken in the backseat, and it totally just handled everything.
So, being able to see more stuff like that this year would be awesome. Do you think Bitcoin is going to fall down sometime, and have you invested in it? I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon, to be totally honest. I think that it's going up. It's a little wild and volatile right now.
But generally speaking, I think it is sort of trending upward, and I haven't invested my life savings in it, but I do think there's potential, and I've put a little bit of money into it. Ken does get frustrated or annoyed between takes? He just seems so chill all the time. You guys have no idea.
I live a personal hell every day. I think I'm on camera and everything's happy and great, and I'm having a great time. Then Ken's just yelling orders at me,

mightnot necessarily think, oh,let me connect this dot with that dot,but the phone's like, oh, Iknow this is what you're doingand this is who you're talking to.The more information itknows and when it actuallyhas some intelligence behind it,it can sort of connect a lot of dotsand make your life easier in a lot of waysthat you might not necessarily think of.What's the dumbest thing that'scompletely ruined a video?We didn't quite lose the video,but there was a project that we shot,actually a few monthsago, where I deleted allthe raw footage before it was finished.So, what I ended up doingwas I took the exportthat we had done, sortof the temporary version,and then I just recut thatand put it back together as a video.Since the house firehappened and you moved,do you think it helpedor hindered your futurecompared to if it had never happened?Oh man, I think it helped.Things were going well for me before it.But, the fire was really kindof like a wake up call to meand it was sort of a forced fresh start,which I like to think was a good thing.What is the differencebetween your video editingand Ken's video editing?So, there's been some rumors going aroundthat Ken edits all of our videos.However, that is completely false.Jimmy, care to comment?- Everyone's gonna find outwhat I finally do.(Austin laughing)- So, the way we doour edits is actually--Jimmy does, I would say, 95% ofour edits these days.- Yep.- I'll do it a little bit here and there,but he's editing this video right now.- I am.- Make a thumbnail forthis video yourself.Don't let Ken do it.All right, so this is me.I'm very blurry.Then, this is Ken.Little known fact, I actually taught Kenhow to make his thumbnails,and this is how every one of them starts.It's like this, and then,here's a giant smile.'Cause Ken's just a happy kind of guy.There you go.That is how to create a thumbnail.What was the transition like from beinga single person rodeo to ateam, specifically with Ken?(laughs) Well, now it's great.But, I distinctly remember Ken's first dayin which he forgot the lensadapter and a microphone cable.Then, at one point, I'mpretty sure I took the cameraaway from you and just shot myself.It was, uh, (laughs).How much of your Twittertimeline is filledwith Ken's anime retweets?Over 90%?All right, so for all of youguys who are smart enoughto follow Ken on Twitter,the best way of doing itis to mute his retweets.Because Ken, he tweets some great stuff.His retweets, a little questionable.Hey Austin, when are you getting married?Just kidding, suggest somebest laptops for video editing.Generally speaking, gaminglaptops are pretty goodfor video editing, and I really likethe Acer Predator Helios 300.So, not only does it have a GTX 1060,but it also has a core i7,plenty of memory, an SSD.That's great.And if you're on thefinal cut side of things,the MacBook Pro 15-inch hasbeen honestly what I've beenusing to do any kind of video editingfor like, a year and a half now?When did you move toLA and get the office?I actually moved to LA in August of 2015.I was literally driving fromMissouri to LA on my birthday.I originally actuallyworked out of John's office.So, you guys probably know John from TLD.I worked out of his officefor almost a year actuallyuntil we got this officethat we've been infor the last year and a half or so.That's when Ken came on.That's where we just kinda really startedbuilding things up.But, yeah it's been a littleover two years at this point.What piece of tech are youmost excited to see at CES?I feel like what I'mreally, really pumped to seeis more on the AI side of things.The self-driving side of things.I know that this CESactually got to ride in a BMWthat was fully self-driving.Or essentially fully self-driving.I was able to drive on the freeway,take my hands off the wheel,talk to Ken in the backseat,and it totally just handled everything.So, being able to see morestuff like that this yearwould be awesome.Do you think Bitcoin isgoing to fall down sometime,and have you invested in it?I don't think it's goinganywhere any time soon,to be totally honest.I think that it's going up.It's a little wild and volatile right now.But, generally speaking,I think it is sort oftrending upward, and I haven'tinvested my life savingsin it, but I do thinkthat there's potential,and I've put a littlebit of money into it.Does Ken ever get frustratedor annoyed between takes?He just seems so chill all the time.You guys have no idea.I live a personal hell every day.I think I'm on camera andeverything's happy and great,and I'm having a great time.Then, Ken's just yelling orders at me,"Do it again!"You can do better than that."I'm not feeding my family with this."It's honestly kind of sad.He pretends to be chill,but honestly it's not safe.I...I need help.To Ken: how annoying is it towork with the "Hey guys" guy?- Not as annoying to meas it probably is to Jimmysince he has to edit every video.At least I can listen tomusic while Austin's talking,so I can block it all out.- Hey Austin, what's yourfavorite fast food restaurant?I used to say Taco Bell, butsince I moved to California,it's gotta be In-N-Out.How much has life changedsince the start of yourYouTube channel?So, I was actually remindedof this the other day.Someone tweeted me a screenshotfrom a comment I lefton a Marquez video seven years ago,talking about my 2009 wasgreat and I was basicallytotally committed tomaking videos in 2010.So, a lot.When I started the channel, I was 16,living at home.Didn't have a job.Didn't have any money.Didn't have anything.I think compared to then,I feel like I'm a different person.Like, if we're being totally honest,I had not really fully grownup when I started the channel.I didn't really understanda lot of things in life.I feel like my life couldnot have possibly turned outto be any more different if Ihad not created the channel,and not made that first video.I honestly can't evenpicture where I would beif I would have gottenthat job at Best Buyand sort of lived in Missouri forever.It's kind of scary to thinkabout it to be totally honest.Anyway, that is going tobe it for this Q and A.Of course, if you guyshave any more questions,feel free to hit me up on Twitter,and as always, Ken willcatch you on the next one.
