All right. I'm Marquez. And I'm Rich. And these are the studios at home desk setups. All right. So, we made some bingo cards for what we think will show up on people's desks in their setups. >> What do you got? >> And I want to see what you have. >> I have a cat. That's uh probably my favorite thing cuz I'm excited to see. >> You're expecting a cat? >> Yes, absolutely. >> Okay. Something anime. Who's going to have anime stuff? Do we have an anime person in our office? We will find you. I don't know. >> Desk against window. >> Who is this? >> This is an Adam setup, but it is Adam audio powered. >> This is Marquez >> studio monitors. >> This is not his normal desk, is it? >> So, it's not lit up right now because I used to have a computer like right here. It was actually a Mac Studio right under that Pro Display XDR. But then I got rid of it and I'm powering everything from my laptop instead. I didn't need two computers. It was just better to have everything powered by this one. >> So I have a Keyron. >> That makes sense. That makes sense. He's got the IM >> cuz I was like, who else would have that >> DAC which will power the Atom Audio speakers and then this M4 MacBook Pro and the Proisplay XDR with a little webcam up top. And I have this fun fancy little light here which has >> Oh, that thing >> which is cool. But then also outward facing light for when I'm on a video call and then I look better cuz good lighting. >> I'm curious about the game board on your desk. >> I think it looks pretty good. >> It's just also so dark. >> Okay, the pegboard with like literally nothing on the pegboard is tough. Uh I kind of thought Marquez would have a couple extra things up there, but he is all business. So, I guess it makes sense. How often do you use your at home desk setup? >> Uh, every day, but it's in my basement, so there's no windows, so I don't love being down there during the daytime. Usually, I'm down there at night. We get two marks per video. I definitely have more than two to choose from, but I want to choose two that are next to each other. Okay, I have to be very strategic here. >> Do you think I can do this one? >> Desk is barren. I think you can have that one. I think the pegboard especially gives you desk is barren. I was like Marquez's desk here is like fully utilitarian and this is also there's a whole pegboard for decor and nothing. >> Um desk is barren. >> I'm going to go with MX master and hub or dock. >> I'm going with hub or dock and something made of wood. >> Oh, >> carts. >> Miles. >> Miles. >> You said >> cars and miles. I was supposed to say cars. I was like no. >> That's Miles and >> he's such a mean. Okay. Oh, okay. >> This is the M4 he just reviewed. >> Yeah. Yeah. Oh my >> emotional baggage and the best death setup. What do these two things have in common? >> Yes. >> They're supposed to be with you everywhere you go. Now, unlike my monitor mounted chair chain, >> is this Miles's car? >> Is this his actual car? >> I don't know anymore. with me no matter where I am. Now, the base station itself is the M4 CS, which is a bunch of carbon fiber, runs tens and a/4 miles, really fun to drive, blah blah blah. So, when stepping into the carbon, >> Miles are going to hit one pothole and everything is going everywhere. This is incredible. >> Vision Pro is falling down. Your laptop's falling down >> from Dbrand and it's sitting on this laptop tray that was actually gifted to me by Alex. So, thanks, Alex. You're all right, kid. But then directly connected to my MacBook Pros. This Atmos Ninja that I'm using as a second >> as a second. >> Oh my god. >> No, you're not. Oh my god. >> Cuz you got to have a separate screen for those conversations. I got to stay productive in here. I can't be distracted. And then I can triple my productivity by using Apple Vision Pro. >> This car cannot leave the parking spot it's in. >> I like using it. >> And then down here is my carbon fiber water bottle with >> He also has the carbon fiber Dbrand skin to match everything which is pretty awesome. Oh my goodness. He's got like the F1 drink system. It's actually against the law to work on YouTuber and not have a salt lamp on your desk setup. So, I will remain a law-abiding citizen. >> You should be careful. >> Aren't salt lamps have like a chance of exploding if you leave them on for so too long? >> Exploding? >> I think so. >> We have to find out. >> Yeah. Careful if you have a salt lamp. So, >> can I count this as a dual monitor setup? Cuz he's got his computer and he's got the dash. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. He had the he had the Atmos thing to the side. I put my eggs all in the Dyson headphone basket and that was probably >> Yeah. >> Where's the next? >> They're probably in the glove box. >> You're right. It's probably there. >> What would you want to steal from this desk? >> The only thing I would steal from this desk is the mirrorless camera as a webcam. >> I would want to steal the car as the desk setup. Um, I would steal the M4. >> There we go. >> Totally fair. >> Okay, >> I'm I'm going to go ahead and say that that is overkill. >> Fair. And then that green BMW is extremely brightly colored. >> I marked off water bottle for miles carbon fiber water bottle and the dual monitor setup. Oh, Marquez is about to get bingo. Damn it. >> But to get bingo, I need something in someone's throat to be clearly broken. >> Clearly broken. Okay, I checked bad cable management and camera. You have mood lighting. >> Mood lighting. >> That's definitely mood lighting. >> Mood lighting. Uh, for this one I did mood lighting and I did dual screen. >> Jonno. >> Jonno. >> Damn it. I mean, >> yeah. I was like I was just like this is >> set up tour. I decided since >> we How many discs does Andrew have? >> Oh my god. Yeah. I would have done like 70. >> That is Yeah, this would have been that is so many discs. >> Wait, are you guys serious? It's got a picture of Mac there. How are all of you missing them? >> I looked it all >> three of the picked Jonno. You You guys have all >> been to my house, >> but I didn't go to your office. >> I was in your backyard. Also, he >> also you can see me in the reflection. >> This is my at home setup tour. I decided since I do a lot of gaming building a little bit of live, I would bring it to you in the setup of my old live streams. So to start it all off, I have the IKEA Alex drawer countertop desk >> dual monitor setup. >> Definitely dual monitors >> that has ever done. It's super great on a budget and takes up a lot of space and gives you a whole lot of room up here. And then along with that, the IKEA Marcus chair. I've had this for probably a decade and it's still holding up great. I think it's the best budget computer chair you can buy. >> Might be the longest lasting IKEA product of all time. >> CH1 case and then some. We got a PC user over here. >> You really didn't think I was going to use a Windows computer. >> I don't know who's going to be in this. >> Ran Valerant. Fine. And it runs the streams fine. Monitors are pretty standard. They're both from ASUS. I got both of them on sale. They're nothing special, but they're high refresh. >> Little Lego F1 car. >> Nice. Like that. >> The most is my keyboard. Um because >> there's nothing broken in this setup. >> Effect keyboard rather than a lot of my other ones. It is the Zenblade 65. >> Non-standard connector for sure. >> Brand MKBHD cap that with the silver case of the keyboard. Um, and then the random Frank Pulsar XT. >> Oh, that's a nice match. >> I should have said a YouTuber product. >> Oh, that would have been good. >> Um, and then other than that, you >> got a full setup over here. >> This is my McLaren Lego. I'm doing great this year. I hope Oscar wins WDC. I've got a little tool chest right here that is adorable and it holds all of the tools to build keyboards in it. I've got key caps I've collected along the way. >> I fix it magnetic mount or mat so if I'm like small screws it'll stay >> all over the place. >> That's a tough one. He might have bought that >> light over here to give me a bit of a key along with a huge rack of disc golf discs. Kind of everything I like in one little spot. >> This is a lot of discs, man. pretty proud of it. >> Thanks. >> Okay, >> can we rewind it? I feel like we got to go see the wide again. >> Yeah, let's get to a wide. >> It This is a desk. If I saw it, I would sit down and I would use this desk cuz it feels peaceful. It feels homey. It feels like an actual human is using this desk. Not to say other desks didn't feel like humans were using them, but some are cuter than others. I'll save. >> Should I do piles of papers? You do have magazines. >> No, you mean like garbage. That is a very neatly. Do you know how expensive those stupid library like catalog things are? >> Too much. >> Those like $100. >> Oh my god, that's way too expensive. >> Physical media scam. Okay, maybe I'll do desk lamp for now. I did desk lamp and desk against window. >> I did hall effect keyboard and Windows PC. I'm surprised there's not more mechanical keyboards in this room. Like >> he's got one on the wall, but yeah, the same. >> I would love to see like 10 more. >> You know what I'm shocked by? Mhm. >> A lack of cable management. You just got some stray cables. I would never have expected that from manager. >> That's true. I don't know if I can check anything off of mine. >> Really? No way. >> Yeah. I'm not sure cuz there's no wireless function. >> You got model car though. >> Oh, I got model car. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, Mark. >> Yeah, you got that. >> That car on the the table is borrowed from the office. >> Oh, wow. >> Thank you. >> It's not straight from top. >> So, I've got my weird non-standard connector thanks to his keyboard and dual monitors. Thanks. Andrew, >> I crossed off something borrowed from the office and model car >> also has an audio. >> Rich. >> No, Rich didn't do it then. >> Most people like to separate their work and home life, but >> Oh, >> what have I just did? >> Now we got MKBHD. >> Wa V, this is incredible. >> Yamaha HS5 in white, of course. >> Bro, >> and I still got Apple logo to it, just so you know. with the 4x3 aspect ratio. >> Apollo solo instead for the audio interface >> a little bit more. >> I love the music track here, man. >> Display is glossy instead of matte >> monitor riser from Groveade, >> giving the illusion that it's floating. I also keep all my card readers and a lighter and say >> every single thing on this desk has like we have a version of it at work except for this. We don't have a lacrosse net at work. >> This isn't a desk. What are we doing here? and one Thunderbolt 4K power the entire setup. >> I also prefer using the keyboard from the MacBook >> completed by a gray Herman Miller Aeron, the unsung hero. >> Vin would have a seaand at his in his room. >> Oh my god, he does. >> That's because I have a mini studio >> backdrop and lighting equipment. >> That's crazy. >> And these fun chairs. >> Nice. Love orange chairs. I should have had brightly colored stuff, but I already crossed that out. >> Vin, this is the >> Wow. >> This is the coolest setup I've seen. I think you have the This is got to be the coolest one, right? >> This is Yeah, this is fire. >> I don't know if anyone's going to top this. >> There's a a very good chance I don't have anything. >> You don't think so? >> Uh I think I went with some weirder things like he doesn't have a wired mouse. He doesn't have a desktop tower. No plants. There's definitely no dust on that. The blue light. Can I count RGB for the ambiance light in there? Okay, I'm taking RGB then. >> No cat. >> No cat. I know. I know. We're just waiting for the the cats to come. >> Vin had uh something made of aluminum in the the Solo and the I borrowed this in the studio just for those uh Kenoflows cuz I got some good use out of this. >> I marked off adjustable desk. >> Definitely no Funko Pops here. >> So, I picked RGB. I'm realizing I was so excited. I have three in a row, but my next door picture frame and coffee mug on desk. So, I don't know how much uh >> hope I have for that. >> And then for mine, I did uh egregiously large speaker and sitst stand desk. Vin, why aren't we using your studio space? Can I come to your house? >> This is so cool though. Like, oh man, >> I'm moving in >> now. As fun as my car setup is, you have to remember I like speed. not speeding, but I like speed, which is why my entire setup is powered by the sponsor of today's video, the Cal Digit TS5 Plus. This is a 20 port Thunderbolt dock that is wicked fast that we use at the studio all the time. Wire into this bad boy for up to 120 Gbits per second in bandwidth or get 10 GB Ethernet if you're trying to speed download. This is also the only doc to ever feature dual 10 Gbit per second USB controllers, which is double the USB bandwidth of most docs. And if you really need speed, you can charge a laptop like this 16inch M4 MacBook Pro at 140 watts or an iPhone 16 Pro Max at a full 36 watt with one of these downstream Thunderbolt ports or the front 36 watt USBC port. All this speed, plus supporting dual 8K displays with one simple cable plugged into your computer. Check the video description for more info about the TS5 Plus and other cow digit tools. >> Wow. I wonder who it is. Should we say it at the same time? >> Mark. Um, Harper. So, the nail. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, what is that? Okay. >> This is my desk. This is my chair. It's a Herman Miller. >> Yep. >> I got it from an outlet warehouse computer for subscribing to the studio channel. >> Hey, nice. >> Also computer stand. It's my wireless charger. >> Nail polish. >> Nail polish. >> Nail polish. >> Yes, that's huge. >> I do nail art. >> Oh my god. >> Nail polish. Nail polish. Tablet for looking at nail art things. >> I love this video. also for shop.mg.com. >> More nail polish. >> More nail polish. Nail polish and Lego. >> Legos. >> I should have put Legos. >> This is where I usually actually work. >> The lamp is crazy. Hold up. >> Very cool. >> Take a moment to appreciate the lamp. >> Probably my computer. >> I love the the lamp you got there, too. I also like the um laptop riser is like two board games, I think. >> Yeah, that is a lot of nail polish. I got to say >> that's a lot of bottles. >> I have no context for how much those cost. I would be pure. I'd be like Bill Gates on Ellen. I'd be like, "How much could that cost?" $5. I I don't know. But that's that's at least 64 bottles. So, I'm going with $350 of nail polish. >> I'm going to guess $3,000. >> Prices, right? Rules. >> Who's closer? >> Probably Probably Bridge. >> Kudos to matching wood on everything because matching wood is >> very hard. >> Yeah. I don't think I have any furniture in my house that goes with any other furniture in my house. >> Can I do liquids? There's nail polish on the desk here. I think I'm gonna >> I can't say no to it, but I'm very upset that that's not what you meant. And you meant we both meant >> Well, >> I think people leaving like cans on their desk. >> It could be anything. It could be a water cooled PC. It could be nail polish. I'm going to take that one. >> You got it. >> Is there a Funko Pop in here? >> Pop Funko. Oh, it's hidden. There it is. Should I save it or should I like Do you think I should do Fidget or should I do Pop Funko? Funko Pop. >> Fidget's your better. >> There's only one There's only one other person that could have a Funko Pop. And I >> I promise you there's a Funko Pop in here later. >> That's what I need to hear. Okay. Fidget items. It is. >> Is the uh is the vertical screen a tablet? >> Yes, that's the Gotcha. >> Oh. Oh, cool. But it's not a picture frame necessarily. Can I go unnecessary duplicate? >> Oh, okay. >> And incredible cable management. >> I marked off magic mouse and nail polish. There is anime. >> Pokemon. Where is it? >> Pokemon is anime. >> Chat, are we counting Pokemon? Anime. >> Oh, actually, I'm going to take it. Except nobody is going to have a wired mouse. >> For Harper, I did fidget items and I did liquids. anime and mug on death. >> Mariah. >> Yeah. To my office. >> I saw the plant. It was the good tell. >> Oh, that's cute. >> A picture of a cat, but not a cat. >> You're actually the first person with plants on desk. I think >> the built everything here you need to make a Marquez video. We got our headphones, our Audio Technas. We got our Logitech mouse. >> You need one. >> Um, we have the monitor. This is the computer I've edited on for the past like 3 years. It's really >> I don't know how the color is on that monitor, but >> serves pretty well. >> The best Tom Scott part. >> Don't worry about that. That's great. Uh, what else do we have? We have uh >> I don't see a cat. >> Not yet. Come on. >> It's a mechanical keyboard. I use it a lot. So, thank you, Andrew. My grimace a good night. You never know when you're going to want to keep it nearby. This is where I keep all my garbage. I have IKEA right there that you could ever need. You know >> why throw them away? And then uh some old tech that I'm not willing to part with forever. Something she's had forever. >> Handheld gaming device. Very cool. Very cool. I don't know why the waveform boys are scared of the foot hammock. Do not hammock. >> I know you were all down the closet. I mean, sorry, office that I work out of at home. And uh so next time you see a main channel video, there's a 50/50 chance it was made here. So that's kind of cool. >> The waffle first. >> That was great. You're blocking a door completely. >> Yeah. So that door doesn't work. That's why there's two doorork knobs on the other door. >> I mean, the math checks pretty >> uh Yeah, it's like 80° in there most of the time. It's not great. >> It's like 80° in here right now. >> It's pretty warm. Multiple living things is crazy. >> Yeah. On a desk. >> Also AirPods with an Android phone. Very. >> Yeah. And that's a picture frame now. >> Like 3 years. It's really great, man. I think it serves as >> There's also two more computers in there, which is three of one thing. >> Three. You have three in one. That's a >> That's pretty good. >> That is really good. >> I'm going to do that cuz there's three computers, right? Yep. That's three. >> Picture frame and plant on or near desk. >> Plants and junk junk drawer. >> So, we died. But I said bingo first, so I think that >> that's true. >> I was just going to shake your hand for dying. But >> uh three of one thing for a surprise. Three laptops from Mariah. And also I've had this forever. Drawer of old tech. Classic. >> I marked off wireless phone charger and notebook. >> I can win right now if I snipe wireless charger and food. Or this totally doesn't work. Or this is clearly broken. Oh, that's the same thing. >> I need VCR and Stream Deck >> and an adapter >> or desk plant. >> Desk Plant is bingo for you. Oh I didn't see that. Well, I should have marked off desk plan. Damn it. You would have been there. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Okay. Hopefully the next person has no plans. >> Ellis. >> Oh, VCR. >> Oh, >> what is happening right now? Okay, this is a weird weird setup. >> Oh my gosh. Oh, what is this? >> This how he gets here every day. >> Is this all >> Welcome to my studio. This is it. Brooklyn, New York. My apartment. >> I've wanted to show you guys this for a long time. I talk about it in the podcast. This is it. This is my money pit. Um, >> what? >> Let's say you have a clip of a roast beef sandwich in your computer that you think is really cool. >> What you're going to do is go into your computer, >> trigger that clip, and then when you go back into the real world, you'll see >> what >> it's on that TV. And it's not just clips from the computer. I can also bring in camera feeds like this High8 camera that's sitting right above my setup. If I just flip this paddle, bring it in. Oh, look at that. You got Check this out. I can also bring in the actual Sony A7. >> This is like the 1970s version of Andrew's setup. >> Bam. See, we have digital to analog converters. We have analog to digital converters that get the signal back into the computer. The whole idea is that all of this gear can speak with each other and you can send it to the computer, redigitize it. >> And the the really cool thing about this setup is that it lets me be like a crazy person. Like it lets me find old stuff on the street and bring it in and I can know it'll work in my system. Um, it lets me have a VHS collection that takes up way too much space in my apartment. And with my editing grade VCR that you have a jog wheel that lets you scroll through frames, >> we can go. >> There's a nonzero chance that one day >> this whole room might fall through the floor into his the downstairs neighbor's house. >> Some colory stuff. Some some some '9s music video stuff. Look at that. Come on, man. Come on. Tell me this isn't fun as hell. You can even build your own stuff. I built this box in college with just like a circuit board. >> We can tell resistors. Oh, it's not plugged in right now, so you guys won't see that. >> It totally doesn't work. >> Oh, no. >> That's funny. [Music] >> I love it. Allegedly. >> So, like I said, I'm sorry I don't have time to go through like every piece of gear in this studio, but When I want to make some really fun, interesting looking stuff, it's not about the individual gear. It's about all the time and effort it took to get all of the gear to >> I love the music track, too. >> Proud of I didn't even go over the patch bay, which is >> this is going to be really bad when they don't let him renew his lease and he has to move this to somewhere else. >> Thanks for watching my desk tour. I don't know who's next, but um I'm pretty sure they're not going to have all of this. That's true. Do you know what the most Ellis thing in this entire setup is? >> Uh, the pillow. >> The extremely niche LCroy flavor right there. I Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a notebook or >> one of our co-workers the other day said, "I'm all for having hobbies, but if your hobby is collecting Funko Pops, you need a new hobby." So, Ellis, do you think I should do um something that should be thrown out? Outdated technology. Every surface is covered. >> All of those >> or cable disaster zone. >> Yeah, look at that. Look at under the wooden desk. >> Okay, so I have I have your blessing. >> I think all three of those work. >> What flavor Lacroy is that? >> That is beach plum lacroy. The best. >> I was so right. I did tech older than 20 and notebooks for my second bingo. So, I got something that should be thrown out and I got cable disaster zone. >> Ellis's fantastic setup has gained me uh terrible cable management. Sorry, Ellis. But also lots of adapters. So, >> and of course, Ellis has a VCR and a CRT monitor. >> I'm so close to so many bingos. Wait, I need folding screen for diagonal bingo. That counts, right? >> Yep. >> I need something clearly broken for this bingo. Or I need something that doesn't work for this bingo. Oh, I need a desk plant or a stream deck or Logitech speakers. >> I like how Rich is like optimistic. He like seems to see like people have like and like likes to play video games and this is like I need to see that you guys suck. >> This is broken. Well, I cross out all the good ones. All the good ones are taken. Good cable management, dual monitors, total overkill aluminum things. >> Ooh, Adam. Adam, I think >> Michael is a cat. >> Fern. I love Fern. >> Some of you may know I live in San Francisco. So, not only is this a tour of my home office, it's also just where I do 100% of my work. Two trinkets that I'm excited to highlight on my desk are both Mario Kart themed. The first is the Mario Kart Double Dash Gamecube disc encased in resin as a coaster. >> Okay, that's pretty awesome. this curious question mark of the Mario Kart games and it also doubles as a wireless charger. >> I'm sad to inform you that neither of these products are purchasable because my friend made them for me, but they're cool and I had to show you. Okay. Pro Display XDR in case you didn't already see that. MacBook Pro 2021. I don't really like the double monitor setup. Audio Technica ATHM. >> Wow, we should have had audio. You know, Marquez, a lot of people have had this >> number pad. Got to have the number pad. >> Of course, setup would not be complete without, you guessed it, >> which is great because, you know, he also has a glass of water and a wireless charger. >> So, we got we both get bingo at the same time. I'm bored. Let's look at something more interesting. Come with me. >> Oh, okay. >> I don't know about you, but when 5:00 hits, I am so done looking at a computer screen. >> So, in the evenings, I gravitated towards doing something creative that's a bit more hands-on. >> I was the sickest little studio. >> And that's where this desk comes in. He's got a second desk. >> Over the past couple of years, I started learning a print making process called block printing, which is basically carving a giant rubber stamp and printing it. This is so >> I've never done it. I've only pretty much watched him do it. >> It's hard. I've done it. It's really hard. >> This is a Frankenstein of two things. IKEA standing desk legs and my old kitchen tabletop. The intent here was to have a studio table that I could use messy ones and not worry about keeping it pristine. Every single one of my prints starts digitally as a drawing on my iPad. In this case, the 11in iPad Pro. I really love this puffy iPad sleeve from Bagu. It comes in a ton of really interesting patterns and colors. >> It's kind of annoying how >> easy he made it look like drawing that picture and it's super good. >> Lanterns with LifeEx smart bulbs inside. Reason I went with this brand specifically is because they don't flicker on video. Thank you, LifeEx. These bulbs are great cuz they double as colorful mood lights, but they also get bright enough to become my utility work lights when I'm printing. Most of my printmaking materials are made by Speedball, but this printing press is made by a company called LO Press Machine. Other than that, I've got an IKEA Alex drawer set for organizing and had that >> and that's it. >> That was great. >> Okay, so no Funko Pops, I don't think, in this space either. >> I'm thinking of all the things that I could have had now that a lot of people have had something from IKEA, especially the Alex drawer set. >> Oh, the Audio Tech. A lot of people have had those, too. >> But as you mentioned, it is bingo time. Woo. >> Um, the glass of water on his desk. I'm counting >> as food. >> Food. >> Uh, it's a ghost. >> He had a wireless charger on that first desk as well. >> Uh, for Michael, I did lots of external storage and outdated technology. >> Uh, we got I just don't have anymore. I didn't get any from that, >> which gives me one bingo. >> Yep. I also have one bingo with uh death mark. >> Maybe we should marked >> mark two things in case we get more than one bingo. I marked off cat. >> Nice. >> So excited to see a cat. >> All right. >> Okay. Let's see if we can do double bing. >> Next desk. >> This has got to be Adams. >> Yeah, I would have guessed that. I know everything about him. I know everything about him so much that I think he's probably right over there. >> Wow, this setup sucks. Oh, I love the style of this. This is very Adam. >> Another Logitech mouse. The same one from work. Classic IKEA product. >> Oh, he's not talking. It's just all the >> Is this a rock? >> Yo, that's crazy. Something human- shaped on the desk. >> Oh, I thought I would see like a statue or something. >> He's lying about his posture. He also has a gaming chair. >> That's Is that the first gamer chair I think we've seen? >> That I think is the first gamer chair. >> I'm surprised it took that long cuz he didn't buy it. sister got it for him. It's beautiful. It's great. >> Notepad for to-do lists. Adam, we all know you use a to-do list app. >> Oh. Oh, I didn't even see the 3D printer there. That's cool. Printing something. >> Yeah. >> Switch, too. Nice. [Music] >> Food on the desk as well. Marquez is old. S's for our monitor. Oh, that's funny. >> Yeah. He also has a keyboard in the background. I'm going to take that from any keyboard. >> Is it a MIDI? >> That was good. >> I'm not sure what I can mark off. What you >> That was a nice chill. >> His notebook technically is just the pile of papers cuz it doesn't have a top on it. >> I don't know about that. >> That's a close one. >> Okay. Well, I think MIDI keyboard. I saw a keyboard in the background. I feel like that's a safe bet that that's something he has. So, that's second bingo for me. Um, and then game controllers. >> I need chair under $200. That's a gaming chair. Probably not. Visible dust. Adam's never seen dust in his entire life, and I got nothing again. Thanks, Adam. I thought we were friends. >> Well, I was waiting to see like a human shaped thing on a desk, so I finally got that. Yeah, I wrote something human shaped.
