loved their smiles as they left with their loot. This was a fun little vlog for the holiday season and I'm glad they had a good little shopping spree 😁
I'm concerned. These guys seem like they can't afford any of this with their salary, Do they know that Jay makes hundreds of thousands of the videos they encode? Jay is making bank
@@KroryykDBI think the case is that nick seems to be introverted with how quiet he is and Phil definitely seems more extroverted. Nick just isn’t as loud as Phil is 😂
Yo, seriously, that was REALLY nice of you, both Jay and MicroCenter!! Awesome gifts, super great guys who work for you Jay.. seriously they totally deserve it, and man what a come up with that o/b 3080!!!
I live in the UK, and there is absolutely NOTHING like a Micro Centre here. I can't imagine the awesomeness it would feel like to walk down the isles, just..looking at stuff (I probably can't afford). I'd rather visit here than any tourist attraction in the world!
yeh it sucks, Overclockers and Scan have a single store but there's no franchise anywhere in the country it's annoying! Id live in something like Microcentre probably would be competative with Amazon too.
Well I dunno where in the UK you live but here in York we got a Currys/PC world about twice the size of that Micro Centre, that does a LOT of everything from Freezers and cookers too 3D printer, to MB's, to VR, TV's and Gaming chairs etc etc
Phil is just like me when I walk into a hardware store, his eyes sparkle like a kid. I'm 60 years old and I love being surrounded by pieces of hardware. Happy New Year from Portugal
One of the most heartwarming videos of yours to watch since you surprised Nic with the Cosmos II tower for his birthday years ago. The funny thing Jay teasing Phil about being a GSkill fanboy is that with AM5 and DDR5 Corsair Vengeance has the tightest timings available and gives you the best bang for your buck.
@@-opus I took it as “a wonderful place to bring out the inner child in anyone” so a compliment. And I called it the Raid Shadow Legends of Sponsors because they sponsor everyone. Not as big as this but I’ve seen a ton of small channels in like the 20k sub range get sponsored by Micro Center and get sent like a tablet or something
Frys was really the Disneyland of tech until it all went to hell. I mean come on, who doesn't want to pick out their 1990's car stereo from inside a spaceship? Or have a giant ant hanging above you as you look at laptops? Microcenter is what Frys should have been became if they had competent management.
I laughed so hard i ended up in the hospital with a stroke and was in a induced coma. I came out of it and laughed so hard i went back into the coma, I’ve never seen or heard of something this funny ever. This is the funniest thing in the world and it will be inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame. I am laughing again and will enter my coma soon, k bye
This is such a heart warming vid 👍 Cheers guys for all your hard work all these years 👌 And Micro center for everything they do. Shame we don't have them in the UK
I never comment on videos, just had to take a moment to say that this is one of my absolute favorite videos from you guys. I could tell that they both had that "special feeling" of a Christmas surprise, that makes you feel like a kid again. Well done Jay. 👏
This might be the nearest shopping 'experience' at Microcentre for me lol. I wish we had a store like Microcentre in my country. Happy holidays everyone.
That was a nice present for such good friends, employees, and colleagues. Their smiles alone should have been installed into one of those Kodak frame sample pictures. When you get a present like this unexpectedly, its hard to make decisions in the moment. But, they did get what they wanted the most. The 3080 founders card was an extremely good deal. Lucky for you, I wasn't in the store before you or I would have bought it myself. Keep up the great videos and looking forward to seeing new content in 2023.
Love Philes personality he brings the life to the group lol. And Nic, I can relate to his because it's about how I am, chill laid back and calm nature lol. Jay has a great team I can see they are just comfortable people to be around the perfect balanced team there including Jay =D
This was pretty wholesome. Actually slightly emotional watching these two in wonderment. I thought with working with you these guys would be kitted out already with decent setups at home but better late than never! Take care of these two Jay
I’m not sure why but this makes me happy to see! Jay I love that all these years being subscribed to your channel, I’ve seen you grow and provide for your loved ones. I’ve seen you become successful and a kind human being. I aspire to be like you man! A family man and a business man!
I started shopping at MicroCenter purely because of this channel, and I couldn't be happier. Got my 7900 XTX on launch day and also got an Asus PG42UQ, returned it because HDR in Windows is broken, and got an LG C2 42. The return process was so freaking simple. The guys there are so nice and super friendly, and so knowledgeable. I really felt among my kind there. This is not even sponsored or anything, but I do like that Jay got sponsored by such a good store.
Amazing to see them get an awesome shopping day out at Micro Center for all the hard work they put into the channel. Hope everyone has a great new year.
Just save up for year & go ! It's fun walk in have $3,000 spend me this past year & my 15 yr old. Day trip 4hr one way. But having my 5900x and 570-i strix mobo & 32" rog monitor in hand is awesome plus pick use. Keywords mice feel them.
What an awesome experience!! That was a lot of fun! The monitor Nic got is amazing! And he got a 3080! This is a great feel goid video!! Thanks guys, happy new year to you all!
Phil made a damn good choice with that eSwap X. I've got one, and it's response is amazing. The bonus about it though, is if it ever develops stick drift, you don't have to replace the entire controller. It's an eSwap. A module costs about $25 on amazon. If he wanted to change the entire look of the controller, those kits run from about $40 to about $170. The controller comes with two stick tips each. One convex, and one concave. Bump, or divot. Thrustmaster may have been a meme company in the past, but with this one, they struck gold.
I've gone through 3 Elite 2 controllers. Each one, my RB button failed. The first one had left stick drift. I'm not getting them anymore. I also just got a new speaker bar on the 30th, because my old one is 8 years old. I got the Bose Smart Bar 900 with the 700 watt woofer. It do be boomin' though. Isn't it nice to be able to reward your friends with how far you've all come? You guys deserve it!
You could have done a LOT better on the sound bar if you went with literally ANY other company than Bose. Bose was, is, and always will be overpriced low end hot garbage. No highs, no lows, that's Bose.
i went through one xbox one controller cause of the RB button broke, i took it apart to fix it and its so cheaply made. my 360 controllers are still kicking. way better quality lol i just bought another newer version of the xbox one controller, a little better made. had it for a while and now im thinking of getting a ps5 controller for the feedback tech.
@@danielvogel5252 I've tried a lot of things on the market. This system slaps harder than most that I've listened to. You sound like someone that just hates Bose, given you just tried to downplay what I bought and had nothing to say about any other product. I haven't had a new system in 8 years, and I'm quite happy with my setup.
I have one about 15 minutes away from my house. It's dangerous. My micro center credit card bill shows up in my wells Fargo app every time I check my account balance 😑
:) Just WOW! The smiles say it ALL! Miss Microcenter when I left DFW area in 2012 :( Nothing like it around PNWest now that Fry;s etc are gone :( All the BEST and THANKS MUCH for sharing! Cheers ! :)
I feel that all the items they got were amazing. Congratz Phil and Nic for the shopping spree. It was great of Jay to treat his crew to a Micro Center run and suprise them. Happy New Year's to all of you guys!
This is the best bonus any boss could do for their employees, & the best part is it's sponsored so the boss doesn't have to pay a cent & Micro Center gets free advertising. So that's a WIN, WIN, WIN & WIN right there.
It is always nice to give back to your people that work hard behind the scenes... It doesn't take much to feel appreciated and this way above bare minimum.
You're such a quality boss Jay. It goes a long way to keeping your good team with you. And well deserved boys, I'm looking forward to seeing what puts those smiles on your faces
Love this video, these guys are really thinking hard about how to spend all that money. The fact that Nick got discounted deals stretched that 1500 even further. Brilliant gift and great to see people treat there employees well.
that's a wholesome episode. santa jay cares about his elves' entertainment. :) also props to the micro center dude. that 3080 was a good tech deal, knowing their return policy makes sure it's still a good product. and he's gonna need it to feed this huge panel. yo. also... the m10 tablet is solid. i have the first gen. pretty sure it's gonna survive nick's garage. and... a happy new year to whoever's reading this.
I got the Yeston RTX 3080 new for $769 with a $200 gift card and free extra large Yeston keyboard mat. I got the next level Up G9 Odyssey Monitor for $750 direct from Samsung. And I got a Samsung Tablet. I received mail order so didn't get the fun of rolling it out in a cart. All I can say is great choices on your sprees! Hope the smiles are still big as you setup and start using your equipment. Jay! Love your videos. This one was a spirit lifter. Thank you!
@@TheBeretGamer trying to get a 3060 ti currently myself. My pre built with a 2070 super is in the shop right now... because of the GPU lol. But yea, gonna need a new card most likely and I've been told 3060 ti would be a great upgrade. But I've also heard some 3070s have been unstable and shit like that. What do you think about the 3070? And is 2070 super to 3060 ti a good upgrade?
15:06, thats an amazing price for a 3080! I got an open box EVGA FTW3 ULTRA Gaming RTX 3080 12gb for $300 more, thing looks GOERGEOUS!!! And it consitently gets me 144 fps on halo infinite 1440p, maxed graphics settings, 95% load, fans spinning at 70%. 3080 is a no brainer if you get it for anything less than a grand!! Great buy Nic!!
Gave my wife my CRG49 and bought a Neo for myself as an upgrade for my new system with a 3090. The old system for the wifes setup only has a 1070, but it can handle it no problem. She also doesn't game or anything, uses it for work/school. I use mine for editing, design work, trading, AND gaming. Works well as a multi-functional imo.
The whole vibe and banter through and through was very cozy and enjoyable to watch. Listening to Jayz just narrate these two is just lo-fi vibes for the new years and january. Happy new year to everyone who are reading this
I watch LTT, GN and you’re channel but mostly this one simply because of who you are and how you treat people. Not saying the other guys aren’t that but the way it comes into your content is natural and real. You’re the man J2C.
the c49g9 is a step down from the full spec G9 being only 120hz instead of 240, but they regularly go on sale as its now a 2 year old model, keep an eye out as prices like the one he got that for are becoming very common as the monitor goes eol.
You guys are great. Good for Phil and Nic, and I'm glad that you've got a good thing going for y'all, Jay. Keep up the good videos and have a Happy New Year!
We all just happily watched a shopping spree :D This was so wholesome and it's great to see how happy Nic & Phil are with their loot! It would feel odd to me now having to drive an hour to get to a Micro Center, since there's one about 2 miles away! Happy New Year Jay, Nic, Phil and everyone here! 🐧
I wish my local Microcenter store looked like the one in the vid... Ours is in an old strip mall and looks more like an episode of "Hoarders" inside versus the neat, clean, and orderly shelves in this location. I even noticed an employee in the background taking product from the shelves and dusting both the product and the shelf before putting it back in place. That was either a gratuity for the camera or they actually keep that location spotless. Probably the latter seeing how neat & clean the store was in the video. Cheers to Microcenter! That's the best kind of advertising dollars spent.
Jay is way too nice to his employees. I am self employed and I never treat myself that good... 🤣 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year JTC team, see you next year! 🍻
I loved when Phil saw the soldering stuff and walked away while the cart was still rolling. Watching Nic and Phil's planned shopping go right out the window once they were told about the spree was great to see.
@@PH13PH 3rd gen is fkin legendary. My brother is still on his 3770k as well, he's a casual and just never had a reason to upgrade. I got lucky that I purchased a 3820 10 years ago and had HEDT upgrade path. Both my original locked CPU and this cheap 3930k have handled 4.75 and 4.8ghz for years! I'm actually really bummed to move on, as my x79 mobo was practically half price compared to current gen :(
@@LeviGC93 yeah pricing is insane these days. The third gen has always been good enough for me for most of the games I play for the little bit of time I have to play them. and it is even still a reasonable experience in MOST games. Looking to upgrade my system but having trouble finding motherboards at the moment. I guess there is still a shortage in that area. And don't even get me started on motherboard pricing! When did they get so expensive?! I will keep holding out and looking until I can find something that is reasonable
loved their smiles as they left with their loot. This was a fun little vlog for the holiday season and I'm glad they had a good little shopping spree 😁
The one thing I like about U Is you treat your employees like familyYou're like a Big Brother to all of them
Smiles were the best!
he should do a video of before and after with all their new parts so we can see what difference did did for them

The chemistry between Jay Nic and Phil is just squad goals
Nic doesn't seem to really like Phil lol look at his facial expressions.
Looks like they do karate in the studio, when there’s room for activities.

Your comment made me think about Phil not laughing and that's a scary thought
Damn, Phil embodies positivity. It’s electric. Every time I see Phil, my mood always improves. I’m so glad you did this Jay!
This is why I watch you Jay.

Been following you for two years now and I've never left a comment until now. What a great thing you did for your employees.
Micro Center is the only store I'm willing to drive an hour and 20 minutes to get to, purely for the deals.
2 hours but it's also they have things nobody near me has.
Closest one to me is 7 and a half hours 😢
3.5 hours. Sadly not worth it for me.
I’m contemplating driving 8 hours lol. We need a Micro Center in Canada!
good thing I live 30 mins away from one
What an awesome experience!! That was a lot of fun! The monitor Nic got is amazing! And he got a 3080! This is a great feel goid video!! Thanks guys, happy new year to you all!
Phil & Nick seem like legitimately awesome people :) - Much respect to you for looking out for the team!
Superb watching these lads. Phil and Nic are so humble it's great to watch. Both got some great and well deserved goodies too. Great work.

But yea, gonna need a new card most likely and I've been told 3060 ti would be a great upgrade. But I've also heard some 3070s have been unstable and shit like that. What do you think about the 3070? And is 2070 super to 3060 ti a good upgrade?
15:06, thats an amazing price for a 3080! I got an open box EVGA FTW3 ULTRA Gaming RTX 3080 12gb for $300 more, thing looks GOERGEOUS!!! And it consitently gets me 144 fps on halo infinite 1440p, maxed graphics settings, 95% load, fans spinning at 70%. 3080 is a no brainer if you get it for anything less than a grand!! Great buy Nic!!
It'd be cool to see Phil and Nic's personal setups at home
Yes 👏🏽
he could maybe have Linus get intel to do the tech upgrade as well for them
same...would love to race with them sometime.
@@deminybs yeah maybe get doucheboy linus to spend $5000 of intels money on non-intel irrelevant shit
@@-opus lol I can tell you don't like him but who cares?? it's giving his crew more money to upgrade stuff with 🙂
Giving back to the team that back him. Great stuff you three 👏
Gave my wife my CRG49 and bought a Neo for myself as an upgrade for my new system with a 3090. The old system for the wifes setup only has a 1070, but it can handle it no problem. She also doesn't game or anything, uses it for work/school. I use mine for editing, design work, trading, AND gaming. Works well as a multi-functional imo.
The whole vibe and banter through and through was very cozy and enjoyable to watch. Listening to Jayz just narrate these two is just lo-fi vibes for the new years and january. Happy new year to everyone who are reading this
Definitely deserve it, you guys work hard. Happy holidays!!
Let's dial it back now. What "hard work" are they actually doing?
Cool of Micro center and you Jay to do this, the looks on their faces priceless. You guys are a awesome crew together.
This was great. Loved seeing their faces throughout the video.
Nothing better you can do as a business owner than to make your employees happy. Great Video.
I watch LTT, GN and you’re channel but mostly this one simply because of who you are and how you treat people. Not saying the other guys aren’t that but the way it comes into your content is natural and real. You’re the man J2C.
So glad to see Nic again, seeing him well ❤️
What happened to him?
Nothing really, i just missed him being on camera. Happy New Year!!!
😍 32:9! 🎮🖥
Love commander Shepard boogying on the floor. Such a great gift for the employees, way to go. Kids in the candy store!!
I have the Odyssey G9 monitor for sim racing and its great, its refreshing to see microcenter getting more and more sim racing stuff
Same! Amazing for sim racing and general productivity
Damn man I am so jealous of Nick; that G9 is my dream sim rig monitor! And I'm sure by now he's really glad he upgraded to the 3080.
the c49g9 is a step down from the full spec G9 being only 120hz instead of 240, but they regularly go on sale as its now a 2 year old model, keep an eye out as prices like the one he got that for are becoming very common as the monitor goes eol.
loved the genuine excitement ..... and honesty
You guys are great. Good for Phil and Nic, and I'm glad that you've got a good thing going for y'all, Jay. Keep up the good videos and have a Happy New Year!
We all just happily watched a shopping spree :D This was so wholesome and it's great to see how happy Nic & Phil are with their loot! It would feel odd to me now having to drive an hour to get to a Micro Center, since there's one about 2 miles away! Happy New Year Jay, Nic, Phil and everyone here! 🐧
I wish my local Microcenter store looked like the one in the vid... Ours is in an old strip mall and looks more like an episode of "Hoarders" inside versus the neat, clean, and orderly shelves in this location. I even noticed an employee in the background taking product from the shelves and dusting both the product and the shelf before putting it back in place. That was either a gratuity for the camera or they actually keep that location spotless. Probably the latter seeing how neat & clean the store was in the video. Cheers to Microcenter! That's the best kind of advertising dollars spent.
Happy New Year!!!! That was truly awesome of you and Micro Center. I hope one day that'll happen to me...
Jay is way too nice to his employees. I am self employed and I never treat myself that good... 🤣
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year JTC team, see you next year! 🍻
You guys look like you have so much fun together. It's awesome to see.
I loved when Phil saw the soldering stuff and walked away while the cart was still rolling. Watching Nic and Phil's planned shopping go right out the window once they were told about the spree was great to see.
Phil is in heaven & Nic is in spending hell with too many options!🤣🤣🤣
This was really cool of you Micro Center!
Shout out to Micro Center in Madison Heights MI.
How does one “give Phil and Nic with a shopping spree?”
😂
This is awesome, they got some cool stuff!! This was so very kind of you Jay. I'm thinking how fast I could eat 1500$ though. lol
I have the exact same red shirt.
So happy for them! Very well deserved for the work they put into daily
“His 9900k is starting to show its age”
* cries in 6700k *
....still on my 3770k....would love like anything newer at this point
@@PH13PH 3rd gen is fkin legendary. My brother is still on his 3770k as well, he's a casual and just never had a reason to upgrade. I got lucky that I purchased a 3820 10 years ago and had HEDT upgrade path. Both my original locked CPU and this cheap 3930k have handled 4.75 and 4.8ghz for years! I'm actually really bummed to move on, as my x79 mobo was practically half price compared to current gen :(
@@LeviGC93 yeah pricing is insane these days. The third gen has always been good enough for me for most of the games I play for the little bit of time I have to play them. and it is even still a reasonable experience in MOST games. Looking to upgrade my system but having trouble finding motherboards at the moment. I guess there is still a shortage in that area. And don't even get me started on motherboard pricing! When did they get so expensive?! I will keep holding out and looking until I can find something that is reasonable
cries in 4790K XD
He has downgraded from i9 to i7 😆
