- Welcome to Awesome Time!
This is the show where I tell you about
all the new stuff happening at Vat19.
And we've got one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven new products.
Look, Eric, I counted to seven again.
- I did it!
We got a Golden Gummy Challenge.
Let's get started.
(upbeat music)
Welcome to Episode 155, we're just gonna get going.
Guys, I got good news, but I'm terrified about it.
We have a sponsor for this episode.
- [Man] Woo! I know, I know.
This is Sponsorships and Outstanding Reviews
and Recommendations, yeah.
The sponsor is Wix, and Wix is fantastic.
That's not why I'm terrified.
With Wix, you can create a professional website by yourself.
I know this is true
because I'm a professional website builder.
I built Vat19.com from scratch
and I got a Bachelor's of Science in Computer Science.
I know how to program the computers
and do the coding, and all that stuff.
I also know this is true because I've used it.
I've been using Wix to build a website
for the World's Hottest Chocolate Bar.
This is a product from Vat19
and it's the spiciest bar of chocolate in the world.
And I wanna build a website to showcase it,
collect all the videos that people out there have made
trying to do this challenge.
And I wanna tell you a bit more about my experience
and Wix while eating some of this chocolate bar.
It's crazy, and that's why I'm terrified.
Oh, this is a bad idea.
Oh, man.
It's so spicy, okay.
Right off the bat, Wix is free.
No coding necessary, whatsoever.
Everything's drag or drop.
There's all these templates,
so no matter what kind of business, personal blog,
whatever you're trying to build you can do it with Wix.
Those are spice hiccups.
Photos, you don't need to know Photoshop to put photos
(hiccups) onto your website.
Not at all.
Video gallery, easy, just bring videos in.
You can customize everything, if you want.
(exhales loudly) I'm a little scared
because if this whole Vat19 thing doesn't work out
website design was gonna be my fallback career.
You don't need people like me anymore,
you can do it with Wix.
It's really easy to use.
It really is.
If you've ever wanted to build a website
you can do it on your own.
Visit wix.com/go/vat19.
Go check it out.
All right.
I'm gonna go calm down and we can get
this episode started again.
(beeping)
I got a shoutout for you guys.
We don't do this very often but this video
is extremely cool and I wanna share it with you guys.
It's from Hevesh5.
She does Domino stuff and she did this amazing thing
with all these Vat19 products
and so check it out if you get a chance.
So this episode's topic is all about
cool, interesting, unique desktop gifts.
I got seven cool ones
and we're gonna find out which one is Eric's favorite.
Come on in here, Eric, let's do this.
- Hey, oh!
Hey, oh!
♪ Daylight come on. ♪
And here come's Eric.
- You ready? - I'm ready.
- This first one is pretty awesome.
This one could ride through the whole thing.
- Woohoo, the next dirt soda?
- It's that fidgety.
- Okay, I'm ready.
- This is the Crunchy Snowball.
- Okay. - It's a stress ball, right?
But it's got, like, snow inside of it and you can,
(crunching) crunch it.
- Oh, that looks fun to my eyes.
I like it, it's a rubbery, crunchy noise.
I wanna do it just watching you.
Ooh, yeah, that is nice.
- It's like the sound of your boots
like crunching down the snow.
I'm getting kind of jealous
that you're like hogging it.
(laughing) - You're just like,
all right when's my turn, Eric?
(grunting) (laughing)
- Your hands are hot and kinda, kinda sweaty.
- Oh yeah, oh that's me, yeah.
That's just, I'm always on.
I run hot!
I mean, right now it's in the lead.
- Yeah, that one's definitely winning.
All right, I'm bringing the next thing and we'll see.
I don't know if it's, like, crunch ball worthy.
- All right, wait hey!
Don't poo it. - Here we go.
This is Spicy Cinnamon Taffy.
And it's not like challenge food spice,
I know you can't handle intense amounts of spice.
- I don't like spice.
- You might be thinking to yourself, like,
candy, is that really desktop?
- Make it desktop.
- This, right, is the plastic bag glass bowl.
Right, it looks like a Ziploc bag.
This is available at Vat19.
(glass clinking) It's made out of glass.
- That's nice.
- Smell it, waft it.
- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Yeah. - It's nice.
- I'm gonna have one too
'cause why not? - That's fair.
I guess it's a desk I can share with my coworkers.
- This one takes, like, a minute to fully ramp up.
- The more you chew.
- I love that cinnamon flavor so much.
It's a good amount of it.
- I say it's got a little bit more of a kick than Big Red.
- Yeah.
- Not too much more, but a little bit.
- Big important question here,
which one are you keeping on your desk?
- I feel like you know the answer, Jamie.
- Are you keeping this?
I mean this is good.
- Here's a fun fact.
(laughs)
Jamie, at one time, coined my nickname to be Trashcan
because I would eat everything.
- Yeah.
- Around the studio. - Yeah.
- So I think you know-- - You have an appetite.
- Which way I'm gonna lean.
- Oh, I'm a little surprised but not.
- I love my sweets!
- Yeah, you are just all about your stomach.
Gonna get you something else to try out.
I got something pretty unique for your desk here.
- Okay.
- The Screaming Goat.
- Okay.
- Okay, I feel like this is already off to a bad start
but this thing's pretty cool, okay?
You've got this goat figurine in here.
Let me just bust that out.
Look at that folks, right?
He's on, like, a tree stump there.
You get a 32-page leaflet filled with goat facts.
- I need to know my goat facts.
- To also have on your desk there.
Let's give an example of one.
Well, this is actually a quiz question. (dings)
Why do goats scream?
Is it A they're hungry, B they miss their mom,
C they're in distress,
or D all of the above.
- I assume distress but maybe all of the above.
- It's actually all of the above. (dings)
- They're just hungry and they scream?
- I guess so.
If you press him, here we go.
(goat screaming)
- Is that real?
- That's what goats actually sound like.
- That's nuts.
I mean it's fun, it's unique,
it's quirky, it's quirky.
I like it.
- But do you like it more than the spicy taffy?
- No.
The taffy's gonna be tough to dethrone.
- Okay, this one is going to tickle your brain bone, okay?
- Ugh.
- This is the Bioluminescent
- Pass! - Mug.
- Hard pass.
It's just a black mug!
- I gotta show you what it does, Eric.
- Okay.
- It's a heat change mug and it's filled with fish
and other sea creatures that live way down deep
in the ocean that light up.
- I dig it.
- You gotta put some pretty hot water in it.
- The suspense is killing me.
Oh, wait.
There's something happening over here.
- Can you see it changing?
I love heat change mugs.
I think they're so much fun, so cool.
And it's got a whole bunch of different, like,
deep sea creatures.
Jelly fish. - All the creatures
have emerged.
- Right, the angler fish.
You drink coffee and whatnot?
- I do, I do.
If we pretend like there's coffee in here,
I'm taking the mug.
- But this isn't a make believe show,
it's actually happening.
Kara's right there, we're recording.
So you have to make a decision
if it's this one or this one.
- If I'm being totally honest,
I don't wanna mug full of water.
- Oh, for the rest of the show that's your problem?
So you're sticking with the spicy taffy?
- I guess so since you're playing it real, we can't pretend.
- I'm gonna get another product.
- Okay.
- I don't think the taffy stands a chance against this.
- Okay.
- This is Desktop Curling.
- Oh, playing on my love of the Olympics.
- Yeah.
Playing up your love of not working.
- That's true.
I love me some not working.
- And you can just put this on your desk and play.
- Give it a test curl.
(object rolling)
Decent, decent. - Yeah you're right,
I love not working.
I love desk games.
I'm going with the Desktop Curling.
- Well, I'm glad you chose this one
because it's also this episode's Golden Gummy Challenge.
- [Announcer] Competitor's ready for the
Golden Gummy Challenge.
(upbeat music)
- It's been a while.
We're gonna stop with the gifts for a minute.
- Alright. - And get our game on.
(object rolling)
- Ah. - Oh.
(object rolling)
- [Both] Oh.
(object rolling)
- Oh. - Ah.
Do we know how to score this?
- No, we have a guide here, we'll figure it out.
(object rolling)
- Wait, we're just doing one round?
- Yeah, I think so since I'm doing pretty good on this one.
(laughing)
(object rolling)
Oh shoot.
- So this is it?
I gotta bump that out and maybe,
depending on what the rules are.
- I don't know what the rules are
so I don't know if anybody's winning.
- Dang it.
(object rolling)
- [Both] Oh!
- I think he won because of that or something.
- I don't even think we need to go to the score thing.
I got one in the red there so
Gimme that Golden Gummy! (crowd cheering)
- [Crowd] Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie.
- Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh.
- This is, I guess we're still doing punishments.
- Yep, new format, same game.
- Pucker up, loser eats a super sour treat.
I have a feeling I know what this is about.
- Oh, what did she make for you?
So you got the Pucker Packs, Smog Balls,
and Xtreme Sour Pop Rocks.
You gonna take that all at once?
- I can already, like, feel my mouth
starting to, like, ugh.
- I'm gonna film you from right here.
- Why?
There's a camera right there.
- Yeah, but see this is from my point of view.
So I can remember your last Golden Gummy loss.
(fizzing)
- Oh, it's loud. - Crunchy.
- Let me see in there.
(fizzing)
- It's hard to swallow. (laughing)
- You are greasy from this angle.
Does he look greasy from that angle?
You're greasy.
- Oh, ah, whoa, okay.
Alright, is this the last one?
- Close, I think nostalgia is gonna
take down Desktop Curling, okay?
This is The World's Smallest Lite Brite.
There it is, lit up.
Showing it to the camera.
- Beautiful. - Yeah.
All of these pins here are stored in the back.
Pretty cute and compact.
All sorts of designs.
Butterflies, hearts, cars, whatever.
So that's the World's Smallest Lite Brite.
- I dig it, hmm.
I'm not a super artsy or crafty person.
- Okay.
- I'm going with Desktop Curling.
- This is the last one.
Like, this is, like, as desk as you can get.
Hundred percent desk.
- I feel like the sarcasm is being laid on.
- This is not shameless merch plug.
Okay, this is the new Vat19 hat.
- Oh.
- That's mine, you can't have it.
- But I can wear it, get my grease on it.
Does this have to be on the desk for it to be a desk thing?
- I don't know, this was just a shameless merch plug.
They're available now on the website.
- Yeah, so I'm thinking
because it's yours and you're wearing it
and it doesn't belong on a desk really
I'm gonna keep my Desktop Curling.
I think that's a big winner here.
- So, you need to explain the title to this video.
(sighs)
- This is my last Awesome Time.
(laughing)
I really wanted to do like a joke for this, like,
I wanted to make this, like, a funny joke.
- Yeah but no one would believe us.
They'd think it was like Crying Wolf.
- Right, yeah.
We kind of already did that, where I pretended
like I was leaving and started my own channel.
Yeah, I seriously got a new gig so I'm leaving.
But I really appreciate my time here
and I've loved every single second of this
and it's been an amazing experience.
And I'm gonna miss it, I'm gonna miss everything about it.
Who knows?
Maybe I'll pop in in like five years
and see what's going on. (laughing)
- We'll see, call first.
Eric really is leaving.
It's true.
I'm gonna miss Eric a lot.
He made a lot of awesome contributions to our videos.
(beeping standby tone) (upbeat music)
- Just like hand shots.
- Yeah.
- Oh no.
Is it plugged in?
- I did.
I know, there's no way.
Are you sure?
We got, like, the screaming goat part.
- You are fired.
Get out.
(laughing)
On your last Awesome Time you forget
to plug in the audio?
It's unbelievable.
- I gotcha! (claps)
- Wait, you did that on purpose?
(laughing loudly)
- That's how I'm going out, baby.
One of my very first Awesome Time's I forgot the audio.
And I knew I would get you again.
I knew you'd buy it.
- Oh.
- Gonna miss that?
- Yeah.
Gonna miss that.
I don't want this to get all sad but I'll miss you.
- I'm gonna miss this.
I'm gonna miss you, Jamie. - I'm gonna miss it.
- I love everything about this place
and it's been, probably, the most fun six years working
at a job I've ever had, so--
- The other places were kinda weak, weren't they
before here? (laughing)
- Okay, well don't soften it.
- No, I'm just saying, like, you used to wear the shirt of--
- I mean, it's a cool job since I was a server.
I installed home theater systems for a while
and was up in people's attics.
That was fun.
- This bit's getting long.
- No, but seriously it's been a ton of fun.
Cut this down Kelsey,
make it seem like it's more concise.
Maybe zoom in right now to my face.
(blows kiss)
(chair rolling away)
- Love you, Eric.
We all love Eric.
I just have one question.
Are you gonna go do one of those, like,
Why I Left Vat19 videos on your new channel?
- Ugh.
Folks, I tried my best to keep him.
I offered him twelve more dollars a week
and free Subway sandwiches for life.
He didn't want it.
I'll miss Eric.
I love him like a coworker. (laughing)
Sorry, let me say that.
I love him like an employee.
Alright. (claps)
It's time for fan art.
(beeping tone)
- [Maggie] Hi, my name is Maggie, I'm your biggest fan.
And my favorite thing about your channel
is you're a really hilarious and I love your comedy.
Bye!
- Alright.
That was some amazing fan art.
Thanks for sending it in.
Here is our address if you'd like
to send in your own fan art
and see it shown on a future episode of Awesome Time.
And leave us a voicemail.
That's what we played while we showed the fan art.
So, yeah, give us a call.
One last time, I'd like to say thank you to Wix
for sponsoring this video.
Remember, wix.com/go/vat19.
It's time to wrap this video up.
Eric, why don't you come on in here and join me.
- [Eric] What? - Yeah.
- I've never done this before.
How do you do it?
- Counter clockwise.
- Wee!

Ow, our knees keep hitting.

He won't, though.
