- (Katie) Today, you're gonna be
playing a video game...
-
- Okay.
-
- (Katie) But it's gonna be
a little different.
-
- I can tell so far 'cause
I'm standing instead of sitting.
-
- I don't know what video game
I will be playing
-
with nothing in front of me.
-
- (Katie) This is an HTC Vive,
a virtual reality gaming headset.
-
- Oh man, here we go.
-
Oh, these headsets are so cool.
-
- I've never, ever done it.
-
I've been watching every Markiplier video
that involved this though.
-
They make me laugh so hard. (laughing)
-
- I think it's just the Oculus Rift
that I've heard about.
-
Not this one, though.
-
- I've gone to Best Buy and they have it.
-
You can try it out, so I've done that.
-
It actually seems like
you're in another world.
-
- (Katie) Today, we're gonna
have you try it out
-
and play a game called Job Simulator.
-
For this episode, we're gonna
have you working as a chef.
-
- "Job Simulator?"
-
I've never even had
a real job in my life yet.
-
- I haven't stepped into
a virtual reality world yet,
-
and this is gonna be my first day,
so I'm hella excited.
-
- (robot) Hello, human.
-
This is an accurate simulation of
(deep voice) Gourmet Chef.
-
- My god! This is an actual kitchen!
-
- Oh my god.
-
Oh, I'm in a teeny, little kitchen.
This is so cute! I love it.
-
- "Pull paper when ready."
Oh! Order up.
-
Here I go.
-
- (robot) We'll start
by making some breakfast.
-
Turn on the grill and let's get fryin'.
-
- Breakfast grill.
-
- Can I step forward?
- (Katie) Yeah.
-
- Oh, this is so weird!
-
- And then click?
- (Katie) Yeah.
-
- Oh, grab it.
-
- Oh wait.
(grill beeps)
-
- Okay.
-
So I need to get bacon and eggs.
-
- I see bacon and eggs,
so is it in here, maybe?
-
- Ooh, eggs. All right.
-
Come here, eggs.
-
(egg sizzles)
- (anxiously) Ooh! Ooh! Ooh. Ooh.
-
- Aah! It's on the floor. (laughing)
-
- It's pretty done,
so I'm gonna take it off now.
-
Put it on the plate.
-
- Let's see.
-
Bacon!
-
(squealing) This is weird!
-
It feels like I'm actually
reaching in and grabbing it.
-
(bacon sizzles)
-
- Oh my gosh!
(soft beeping)
-
Okay, get it off.
-
- (robot) Now put
your creations on the plate
-
and you can ring the bell
to send it out to the restaurant.
-
- Okay.
(rings bell)
-
(rings bell)
- How cute!
-
(ringing bell)
- Wooooo!
-
I feel excited, but I'm kind of scared
-
'cause I don't want
to give anyone food poisoning
-
and have my restaurant get shut down.
-
- All right. Let's see, what do we got?
-
- (robot) The smoothie is one
of the most efficient forms of human food.
-
Simply take some
of your inefficient solid food
-
and put it through the blender.
-
- Okay.
-
- Next, turn it to blender.
-
Ooh! How futuristic.
-
- Blend.
(whirring noise)
-
Whaaaaat the-- that's so trippy!
-
And we can just throw
whatever we want in there?
-
- Here's some fruits behind me.
Fresh fruit is best.
-
Which fruits do I want?
-
Lemon... and then...
I'm gonna put in a lime
-
for a tropical feel.
(glass clinks)
-
- You're getting a carrot smoothie
whether you like it or not, mister.
-
You'd better enjoy it too
'cause I don't work for free.
-
- I don't think anyone
would wanna eat this.
-
Okay.
-
(blades whir)
-
(gasps) Okay, so just throw
random things in it.
-
All right, let's throw this flower pot.
-
(glass clinks)
-
No, I want the whole thing too.
-
(glass clinks)
-
I feel so bad for the person drinking this.
-
- I'm just gonna pick the cheese
that's on the ground.
-
(amused laughter)
(glass clinks)
-
- Uh, tomatoes, mushrooms.
It's gonna be a good smoothie.
-
(blades whir)
-
- (robot) Looks good.
-
Pour it out into a cup
and then we can serve it.
-
- All right, one more.
(blades whir)
-
(laughing)
-
- That looks like the most
disgusting thing a human will ever eat.
-
(gentle beeping)
-
- Ah!
(bell rings)
-
Ding. Oh my god!
-
- Oh, I did it.
-
(bell rings)
This is so cool.
-
Okay.
-
(robotic voice) What next?
I'm ready. (giggling)
-
(gentle beeping)
Okay.
-
- (robot) Let's try making some soup.
-
As you can see, there
are several different kinds we can make,
-
but they all start with putting
some water in the pot.
-
- This is gonna be fun.
I like making stew and stuff.
-
- Soup coming right up.
-
- Oh, I have to get water in here somehow.
-
- How am I supposed to-- oh.
Oh, use a cup.
-
Can I use this water?
-
(gentle beeping)
Ha!
-
- (robot) Great!
-
Now throw in whatever kind
of ingredients you want.
-
- Whatever kind of ingredients I want?
-
- "Put anything in the pot."
-
This is what I like about this game.
-
You can literally put anything
in the pot and it'll work,
-
like my broken pieces
of wine glass over here.
-
'Cause, you know,
anyone uses all that stuff.
-
- "Not cold."
-
Oh, we have a warm thing.
-
Oh, it's just a pantry.
-
- Get avocado.
-
All right, those are wine.
-
Uh...
-
Let's get some spicy stuff
in here. (laughing)
-
- Potato.
-
That's soup-like.
And probably some corn.
-
- I don't know what
this is, so it's going in.
-
It's like a brown blob.
-
- Pretzels, and that looks like bacon,
-
so I think that's probably good.
-
Maybe a flower too.
-
- That's how you make good soup.
-
You just beat the crap out of it.
-
(gentle beeping)
-
Avocado, avocado, and potato soup.
-
- No way!
-
It made the soup in the pot.
-
- It says "potato, corn, and flower soup."
-
- "Lava pocket, lime and cheese soup."
-
My specialty.
-
- How do you pull out a can out of a pot?
-
There was hot water in there.
-
That makes no sense, but okay.
-
(bell rings)
-
- (robot) Just like mom-bot used to make.
-
- "Mom-bot?" (giggling)
-
Okay, next order.
-
- (robot) Next, create
a vertical arrangement of organic elements.
-
Humans refer to this as "a sandwich."
-
- That's the easy go-to right there.
-
Wake up at three in the morning,
you don't want to make anything.
-
You just go make a sandwich.
-
- A sandwich.
-
I'm gonna use the sandwich setting.
-
Oh! And I have a sandwich stacker
right here, ready to go.
-
- "Sandwich stacking times four."
-
Okay, well, first we need
the bread on the bottom.
-
- Cookies on the sandwich
would be a good move.
-
Excellent.
-
- Hot Pocket?
-
I want a Hot Pocket sandwich.
-
- Mooshroom. Mooshroom!
-
- I'm just gonna make a BLT.
-
If we, like, have any lettuce.
-
Which we don't!
-
Oh, a lime! Okay.
-
It's a BLT technically. Okay.
-
- Okay, and then the olive.
(bell rings)
-
(bell rings)
-
- What is this abomination?
-
- (robot) I'm trying
to cut down on gluten,
-
but that looks pretty sandwich.
-
- That looks disgusting.
-
I don't know what
you're talking about, dude.
-
Four pieces of bread.
I would never serve this.
-
- Here's my cute little sandwich.
-
Why is a robot cutting down on gluten?
Is that even a thing?
-
(bell rings)
-
My sandwich is, like, a million feet tall.
-
- Five star meal coming right up.
-
- Next one!
-
Yo, I think after this game,
I think I might make a career change
-
'cause I'm such an impressive chef.
-
- Oh, this French guy.
- (critic bot) Bonjour!
-
Today, I've brought you
a very rare steak.
-
It is a 1984 vintage, eh?
-
- Ooh, a vintage steak.
-
Thanks, man.
-
- He's a food-- oh, he's a food critic.
-
(sucks air through teeth)
-
So I have to do this good.
-
- That's disgusting!
There's mold on this meat.
-
You shake off the-- ugh!
That's disgusting.
-
- So my steak is on my grill.
-
(steak sizzles)
Turn it up.
-
Ew, that looks really gross.
It's covered in mold.
-
- (critic bot) Do continue.
-
I do wish for it to be well-done.
-
- Well-done? Got it.
(steak sizzles)
-
(gentle beeping)
Oh! I burnt it.
-
- Whoa, this is like--
(munching noise)
-
Oh! (laughing)
I just ate a steak. My bad.
-
- (critic bot) ... well-done.
-
Now, if you would be so kind as to pair it
-
with your finest vintage grape juice.
-
- (with accent) "Grape juice."
I like how he said that.
-
Um, this is fine.
-
(cork squeaks)
-
I can't just pour it.
I have to take it off somehow.
-
(grunting)
-
(cork pops)
Yeah! Ah-ha-ha.
-
(cork pops)
- Whoa! Ha, oh my god.
-
(wine pours)
(gentle beeping)
-
- (critic bot) Très bien! Très bien!
-
Please have it delivered
out to the restaurant at once.
-
- (robot) Whoa, whoa, wait a second.
-
Before you plate that...
- "Before I plate it" what?
-
- (robot) ... most famed
meat aficionado meat bot?
-
- That was meat bot?
-
- (robot) We'd better make sure
our service is exceptional.
-
- What?
-
- (robot) Better slip this
on the plate too.
-
- What? It asked me to bribe someone?
-
Are you kidding me?
That is unacceptable.
-
- We're bribing a food critic right now?
-
Oh my goodness.
-
- Here's the fine grape juice.
-
Chef!
-
Ding, go get me some good reviews.
-
A little steak.
-
(gentle beeping)
-
What am I making?
(scoffs) Who's this lady?
-
- (nerdy robot) Psst! Hey, human!
-
Can you help me out here?
-
I am trying to propose
to my romantic partner.
-
- Aww!
-
- (nerdy robot) I want it to be a surprise.
-
Can you hide this ring
inside a sandwich or something?
-
- Um, yeah, I can do that,
but that's a really bad idea.
-
Like, if anyone ever tries
to propose to me that way, don't!
-
Don't do it 'cause I will just eat
the food and I'll eat the ring.
-
- She's gonna eat it, but okay.
-
Let's go to my sandwich maker.
-
- What else does he want on there?
-
Why does he want an egg?
-
All right, whatever man.
-
It's his choice.
-
Let's get this egg
that I've already cracked.
-
Turn this up.
-
(egg sizzles)
Put that there.
-
It sucks to be you.
You get a nasty raw egg.
-
- And ring.
-
Then uncooked meat.
-
Olive... go.
(bell rings)
-
(bell rings)
- Bon appetit! That looks bomb.
-
- Voilà!
-
- (nerdy robot) Oh, that's great!
- Yeah, you're welcome.
-
- (nerdy robot) One more thing, though.
-
I wanted to have some romantic music
playing while I do it,
-
but I forgot to burn this disc.
Could you burn it for me?
-
- (robot) To show affection
for one another,
-
humans of the past would burn music
-
onto primitive storage devices call discs.
-
The details of...
- Is this, like, 1990?
-
- (robot) The details
of the burning procedure
-
have largely been lost to history,
-
but must have had
something to do with heat.
-
- Okay, I guess I'm burning your CD.
-
- Just a minute.
-
We're putting a CD in a toaster.
-
- So now I gotta put a CD in a toaster
-
'cause, you know, that's
what humans used to do.
-
We used to just put CDs
in toasters 'cause, you know,
-
we're just like that.
-
'Merica!
-
Burning a CD.
-
(toaster malfunctions)
- Oh, and now it's on fire!
-
Ah-hah. Fire mix tape.
- (nerdy robot) Thank you so much!
-
Make sure you load the disc
into the boom box
-
and hit play before you send out...
- "Romantic Tunez."
-
Okay.
-
(gentle beeping)
-
- Cute, cute.
-
Did I just press play?
-
♪ (cheesy music plays) ♪
There we go.
-
- All right.
(bell ringing)
-
- These tunes are not romantic.
-
Okay.
-
Let's hope they say yes!
-
- (lady robot) My sandwich
feels much heavier than usual!
-
- (nerdy robot) Well, that's interesting.
-
I wonder if there's
something different inside.
-
- (lady robot) What do you mean?
- Woo!
-
(lady robot gasps)
- Do it!
-
- (lady robot) What's this?
- That's cute.
-
- (nerdy robot) I emotion you.
- "Emotion."
-
- (nerdy robot) ... enter
a legally binding partnership with me?
-
- (lady robot) Oh, of course!
-
I'm the happiest bot in the world.
- Aww.
-
- (nerdy robot) Oh, wow!
The answer was affirmative!
-
The answer was affirmative!
- "Affirmative." Ha!
-
- The answer was affirmative! (laughing)
-
That's great.
-
- Woo! I just got two people married.
-
Let's stop that disgusting music.
That music was horrible.
-
- (Katie) That's it for today.
- Aww.
-
- I am buying that immediately,
as soon as possible.
-
That was the best thing
I've done in so long.
-
- I felt like I was there.
-
I forgot I was in this room.
-
- That was one of the most fun
and creative games
-
I've ever played in my life
-
'cause it's like literally
the guys gave you the menu,
-
but you were allowed to put
whatever you wanted into that thing,
-
so it kind of gave you
that freedom to work with.
-
- Virtual reality gaming
is just a whole new step
-
into what technology is gonna become
-
and I think that that's the coolest thing
to be a part of right now.
