 Good morning, it's really early. Hello and welcome to a little vlog, baby. I today am going to Chicago because I need to sign it upwards of 10,000 posters, possibly even 10,000 posters. It was the channel's anniversary as so many of you guys know. And so we did 10 year anniversary posters. And so instead of having a SEP, the Merge Company, ship pallets upon pallets of posters to my house, I was like, why don't I just come to Chicago for like two days and sign the posters. And then, you know, you don't have to ship them here. I don't have to ship them back. So I thought I'd do a little Chicago vlog just because, you know, why not? And then depending on how much time there is and I want to make sure I'm not like disrupting people's work or anything, maybe I can show you around where all the merch is made. Maybe I can make some merch myself. I have no idea. I'm just saying that now. I don't know if I'm allowed to do that, but let's call it a plane, I guess. I forgot that I had my camera. Good morning. I'm in Chicago now. Well, not Chicago. Hey, this little guy, this is to move the thing. I mean, not Chicago. I wouldn't really call this Chicago. But it's time to go to SCP and sign some MF posters, my guy. But, you know, you didn't really miss anything yesterday. All I did was get on a plane and come here and now I'm at a comfort end. So whoever's editing this can just put a travel montage from any other vlog that I've ever done and it'll be the exact same thing as what I would have filmed yesterday. So, you know, it's fine. So here, whoever's editing, cut to the travel vlog from yesterday, okay? Nice. I'll see you after in Chicago. Baby, mommy. I got a rental car and for the first time in my life, because now I'm 25, I could rent it without other fees. And they had a special going on because the other cars were $95 a day. It's really expensive to rent a fucking car. I'm here for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It was $500 to rent a car. Granted, I didn't get the upgrade, but hold on, the upgrade! It was, I think it was $92 a day to rent basically any other car. But then I said for $102, you could get a mystery luxury vehicle. And so this is the mystery luxury vehicle that I got. It's a BMW i4 or something. It's nice. It's got the beige interior because I'm going into retirement. If I'm honest, I don't really, like I wouldn't buy this car unless BMW paid me money to tell you that. The stuff down here is what really gets me. So you have to push in this thing on the side and bring it down. It's just, they tried to make it too fancy where it feels not intuitive. And I mean, I've only been driving this car for a day, but every time I'd go to change into a driver, like I have to look down and like it, I don't know, okay? I just don't, I just don't know. Anyway though, we are going to go to McDonald's and get some breakfast because I'm hungry. I had a very funny moment while I was showering where I was using the bar soap, which can I tell you something really quick? I hate bar soap. Bar soap sucks, dude. I've gotten anxious because there's people working on the roof and they started looking at me and smiling while I'm recording and I don't, I don't like that. Anyhow, I don't remember what I was talking about. Oh, the soap. I was showering and I had the soap as you do when you're showering and I dropped it in my immediate, no one was watching. I wasn't filming, but I just went, no! It made me laugh. And you know, that's what's important here is that I'm making myself laugh. Thank you Comfort Inn & Suites for the lovely stay. I'm staying here again tonight, but it's important to thank them. Thank the, oh, fuck! I should have brought a little suction cup guy. I also didn't listen to the audio of any of these clips. So hopefully it's fine, but it might not be. And if that's the case, then Justin or Nervly will just have to ADR the entire thing. So it's not on me anymore. It's on them. All right, I'll see you at McDonald's. Ooh, baby, don't you know what that's worth? It's worth, oh, heaven is a place on earth. Hi, could I please get a sausage, egg, and cheese, microdough, please? Yes, I do. And then could I get, could I get hash browns with that? And then a large iced coffee with cream and sugar, please? Awesome, thank you. I didn't, I forgot like how to order food. I couldn't remember what a hash brown was, if I'm honest. I was like, yeah, I want the things that are like fries, but in the morning, the things that are fries, but in the morning. Why does it look so orange? Doesn't it look orange? Does it look orange? Is it orange? Make it orange. Thank you. Yeah, thank you so much. What's going on here? You have to loop around and then go back around. Oh my boy. This is a little scary. I'm gonna loop around here real quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'm gonna shift it and reverse it. Okay, I was, all right. I was very clearly looping around the back end and that person just went, but that's okay. Maybe I'm the asshole. I am driving a BMW, so I wouldn't blame them. We're eating breakfast. What are we eating? Let me show you. Here, let me, let me give you one of these. That sure is a nice coffee. This is pretty good. McDonald's coffee, I feel like it's slept on. It's like, it's always, you know what you're getting every time. It's always gonna be the same. It's consistent and it's consistently decent, all right? Do you like this Dutch? It was a Dutch oven. You guys like this Dutch oven? Dutch angle? This is a hashed brown. Kind of like how it's keeping me out of focus, but the steering wheel in focus. What else do we have in here? Oh yeah, we got the sausage, I can make, sausage, McRiddle. Also couldn't remember what this was called. I was like, did I start baking? I started with baking. Here's a rule, guys. My friend Sam told me when I was in high school. And I was like, that makes so much sense. We were going to the cafeteria in the morning. This was before school started. And they always had breakfast sandwiches there. So we would go, Sam and I went to get a breakfast sandwich. And I was like, yeah, can I have a bacon egg and cheese? And they said yes. They gave it to Sam, got a sausage egg and cheese. And he sort of gave me this look when I got the bacon egg and cheese. And I was like, what's up with the bacon egg and cheese? And he was like, well, here's the thing. Here's why you always go with the sausage egg and cheese. At the school lunch or at McDonald's, I had a place where it may not be as good. And this was some of the best advice I've ever gotten in my life. He was like sausage, they give you the little sausage patties, right? You can't really fuck up the sausage patty. It's pretty much the same everywhere, you know? Unless you're going to some like fancy-ass place, like it's always gonna be like decent. Like this sausage I can make, like the sausage, it's gonna be fine. But bacon, bacon you can really fuck up. Bacon, you can burn it, you know, like it can be like just really shitty bacon and you can not get a lot of it. And so he was like, when in doubt, the sausage egg and cheese over the bacon egg and cheese, always. And I've lived by those rules to this day. If I'm getting a breakfast sandwich and I'm not at like a nicer place, I'm like, all right, I'm gonna get a sausage egg and cheese because I know that the quality is gonna be there. But with the bacon, sometimes it's hit or miss. Just a little wisdom I'm trying to continue spreading. I'm gonna eat this breakfast now. It's got a little M on it. It's okay. Just like Sam said it would be. That's enough of you watching me eat. There it is, baby. SCP. It's a building. We are here. We are at SCP. To do the signing of the posters, I've arrived. I am just waiting for Becca, who is one of the lovely people that works here to arrive in just a minute and open the doors. And then we're gonna go inside. I'm not gonna film things like when I go in because I don't know if people know one that I'm coming. And so I don't wanna disrupt people's work by being like, whoa, this is great. Because if they don't know that somebody's coming that doesn't normally work there, I might be disruptive, I don't know. But I also don't wanna shove a camera in people's faces ever. So I'm gonna go in and just like get the toe on my own. And then I'll show you guys later when I deem it's appropriate to do so. Vlogging is fun and it's something that I wanna do more of. But it's something that I also have to get used to because I don't necessarily like doing stuff so publicly because I feel intrusive to other people. And especially when it's like someplace like this where I'm going to places where people work, I don't wanna just have my camera out because that feels extra intrusive and people did not sign up to be on camera at their workplace. So I wanna also make sure that if I'm filming stuff that I talk to people and I'm like, hey, is it cool if I film something real quick? I'll make sure that you're not in frame if you don't wanna be. But yeah, I do wanna do more vlogging stuff and like show you shit that I do. But at the same time, I think it's important that I experience things for myself too and not make my entire life content. But two, when I do show you stuff, I wanna make sure that I'm respectful of everybody else that may or may not be on camera. And that even goes for like other stuff too because a lot of people are like, film a day in the life. But I know that like there's obviously moments where like Mika doesn't wanna be on camera. And like when I first wake up, sometimes I'm like, I don't really wanna be on camera right now. So you just gotta make sure that everybody who may or may not be on camera is chill with it. Cause you don't wanna be that person. I need to get it haircut. And well, not necessarily, I need to get it redied. I was supposed to the other day and then I didn't, I canceled last minute. Whoops. Oh yeah, look at this, look at this guy. Nice. Hello. How you doing? It's me and Stevie. Stevie is the mastermind behind SCP and we're here in the main warehouse. So we're gonna go on, we just had a little tour but we're gonna go on the reverse tour. This is where are we? We're in the fulfillment division. This is where all the older ship out. Something that I forgot about. It's Saturday, so nobody's here. You wanna jump on? I do wanna jump on, really bad. I'm ready. Are you stand straight up? Yep. This is scary. This is so scary. This is better than Uber. This is great. Whoa. Wait, am I going? Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is a wonderful time. Come on, come on. I'm pretty close. This thing's speedy. It goes fast. You just take off, you should take off full power through this hole. The game's question mark, automatic stringing parts and machines. Nice. And dryers. This is where all the crank game post is printed, right? Wow. And this is where it was on, it was for, because there was a different warehouse, right? Or am I pink right? Well, we printed in this harness in the other warehouse for 11 months and then here for like five months since we've helped with all your orders. Getting off. This is the ink. Do you wanna eat some? No. I feel like this would solidify in my esophagus. And I would suffocate. It is kind of satisfying. But who I do? It's like ice cream. It's like frosting. It's like, what's it called? Slough. So this is where, what happens? Oh, photography. Photography. All the screens are made select. All the individual colors. Every shirt. Should we go into the closet? Let's go into, what did you call it? Arizona? Arizona. This is Arizona, because it has to be out hot. Oh, maybe 100 degrees, no humidity. It's toasty. Yeah, it's toasty. This is where you're sleeping tonight. Oh, sleeping. You mean I get to sleep? Maybe. This is embroidery. This is where the embroidery happens. I'll leave it here. You got it. Just been going for a ride. Do you need my mushroom spray? Mushroom spray? Yeah. Yeah. Right there. How many spritzes? Four. Four? Ready? Oh, my face. I don't know how to apply mushroom spray. Okay, ready? Am I doing it correctly? I don't know how to do it. Ready? It's really far away. Really far away? Or closer? Okay, ready? One, two, three. Mushroom spray. We did that, yes. I don't know where napkins are. Everyone today. Mushrooms are going to grow out of my beard. Here, let's get a close-up. What the fuck? I did not sign up for this. I did a really good job. You did a really good job. But hey, there's an asanas. And Billy Eilish. Tyler, I need to help you here. I'm sorry. I ruined everything. What the fuck? It's okay. It's okay. I really like your defined urgent. Fuck. Well, is there anything else you want to show me? Or should I get to signing these posters? I'll show you the showroom. The showroom? See, that's the posters. This is the showroom. Show you the favorite version that we made. The showroom. The guys don't have a freaking face layer. Because the shoes are one of my favorites. These are sweet. But no one is honest stuff. Just a copy of the one that's honest. Yeah. You did Swiffer? That's crazy. Oh, these are actually, these are probably my favorite. Pretty good. You think that JoJo Shake Hat hat. Ooh, do I get a cowboy hat? JoJo Shake Hat? This is free advertising. Addy, I don't know what this place is. We should have done prayer candles with unison. I feel like I mentioned they make that rejected. Oh, that's a good idea. We'll make them for 10 years. Maybe the other person rejected it. That other guy. Good times. It was fun. Let's do it again. No. Do you guys have any of Mika's new merch? Is any of that printed? Can I steal it? Even though I bought one? I just want the new Shark one. Oh, Benji and Hanipi. I think you got bang for that one when you showed me last week. I mean, she's always been around the same size as Spencer. What are you doing there today? Signing posters. But you know what? Today is a good day. So the signing has begun. Been signing for a couple hours now. I've got all these boxes. It's just one pallet, so it's not too bad. It's 410 posters per box. Here's my little station. Wow, look at that. And stream is right here. Chat, say hi to the vlog. Say hi, YouTube. Say hi, YouTube. You can see how dusty my laptop screen is. Hi, wow. Hi, YouTube. Wow. Chat, hold on one minute, OK? Because I have to give the vlog a scooter update. I love vlog. When I went to Walmart to get markers, I also got the scooter so I can ride around in between and just get away for a moment. Because it's important to have these moments where you just get away. And here's where my merch is stored. Wow. Isn't that cool? Try it along here. Isn't that crazy? Isn't that crazy, Chat? That is crazy. You're not Chat, you are YouTube. But we're going back now. It's only like 2.30 PM. I can't wait for like 3 o'clock in the morning, Ethan. What will he be up to? Anyway, I'm going to go back to signing posters, so see you later. After about almost 13 hours of signing, I am all done. I didn't do 10,000. I severely, severely underestimated how long that would take. Thankfully, though, only about 3,100 posters were sold, which at first glance, you might think like, oh, only 3,100 out of 10,000. 3,100 is a lot of posters. I'm extremely, extremely happy with that. So thank you guys so much seriously for getting so many of them. Because I basically was like, I want to do 10,000 for 10 years. Like, even if we don't sell out, I just like the correlation of that number. So I think what we're going to do, actually, is I signed about 3,500 of them. And I might have them ship me another box or two, depending on the sales in the next few days. And then we're going to put just the posters not signed up on the store, I think for like 15 bucks. It was a really, really fun time. I wish that I had more time to film stuff. And I'll probably film a little bit of stuff tomorrow. I'm going to go to their place and maybe print a few things of my own or maybe mess around with the machines on there. But it was a super fun stream. It was super fun having Andre out because he came out for the last bit of the stream, honestly. And it was very fun hanging out with you guys. So anybody who was there, I think you could just chill in and hang out. It was so much fun. Had a great time. But now I'm going to go back to the hotel. Let's go. How should we go? I don't think I ever showed you guys the weirdest thing about my room. It seems normal, right? First glance, bathroom, bedroom. But then creep around the corner. I'm not super sure what this is about. But whatever it is, about 1 a.m. So I am going to get ready for bed and go to bed and wake up tomorrow and we will go to Second City. We'll do some fun stuff in the actual factory, if you will, the actual warehouse. It was really fun, really good. I'm sorry that I didn't film more while I was actually there. Just kind of wanted you to get the stuff signed and everything. I planned on filming a little bit more. But once I was done with the stream, I was like, oh, I got to go. Anyway, I'm going to sleep. So night, night. Really where I am. I just kind of woke up here. I've just been going in and out of these rooms for what it feels like hours now. They're all the same, leading to the same place. I think something's watching me. Maybe waiting for me to slip up and make a mistake. I'm in the back rooms. I'm just in the back rooms. I am back at the warehouse this morning. On the upper levels of up here, they just have different offices and stuff. But they're currently moving a bunch of stuff from their old warehouse, well, not their old warehouse, their other warehouse into here. So they're still in the moving process. So nothing's really done over here at all. See, look at all these boxes and things. Wow. Those are my body pillows. But I am back here this morning. I leave tonight, later this afternoon, to go back to LA. But I am here this morning, one, to sign more posters. I'm going to sign only a couple more boxes, I think. And then I'm going to head over to the main warehouse and say bye to Stevie. And maybe see, I don't know, because it's Sunday. And I don't think anybody's going to be there. But I'm going to see maybe. I wonder if I can print a shirt. Because that would be kind of fun to see how the machines actually work. Well, I'm going to sign another box or two just while I'm here. The stream last night was really, really fun. But I just got to a point where I was like, I feel physically ill. Can't remember if I showed you. But this is where my merch is. And it's all in here, on these shelves over here. So any merch that you've gotten. Right on these shelves. Wow. Isn't that crazy? But yeah, this is just, this warehouse is 150,000 square feet. Absolutely massive. But it's so weird. I mean, it makes sense because it's Sunday and people don't come in on the weekends. But it's crazy just like being completely alone in this massive warehouse, with just like surrounded by this maze of boxes. But yeah, this place is edge. Absolutely, edge. So yeah, I'm just going to sign another box or two and then go over to the other warehouse, see about a Stevie, maybe see if I can print a shirt or something. Then I'm going to drive back to the airport and go home, see the doggies, see Mica, see the rats. And then I'm leaving again. A day after that for a 16 hour flight, 18 hour flight. It'll be fun. It'll be very fun. So it's time to scoot a little more though. I'm just going to do a lap.
