Why was I invited to Beast Studios?

Clickbait Title: A Video Essay of Spectacular Inefficiency Companion video: Beast Games 2 Strong/Smart: an Exhaustive Review - https://www.patreon.com/posts/beast-games-2-155824194 We made the decision to relentlessly A/B test the title and thumbnail as a kind of meta-performance of Beast-ness, so if you keep getting tricked into thinking this is a new video, we're sorry. The number one thing that a lot of people are going to want me to talk about is the Doug situation, to which I will say: it's fine. Doug and I are adults, we chatted amicably on the trip, there was no Epic Standoff, and he gave me permission to use his footage wherever he caught details that I didn't. It's weird putting something like this out knowing not only that Team Beast has already seen it in one capacity or another, but also that Jimmy is very likely to watch it personally because he's so terminally online that he can't help but relentlessly name search. Anyway: hi, Jimmy.
