have a guess where the other one is?
Me thinking it was owned by Federal bereau of control... ;(
KEEP TALKING ABOUT BRICKS IT WAS INTERESTING
i was actually gonna keep watching even if you kept talking about bricks
is this the reason why the guy did that to the at and t building in nashville it makes sense now
My grandmother was a phoner for 10 years
It’s kind of funny how all operation named sound like a Disney movie. “Operation titanpointe is moving nicely sir” “yeeeessss, this shall be a grand spectacle boy 😈, now commence protocol Lithium!”
That building looks so creepy. It looks like a fictional government building from a authoritarian dystopia
That building is known as The Oldest House.
what is it with all these codewords being leaked doesn't NSA know that they are supposed to procure intel not hand it out like a Costco catalogue?
Petition for him to make an actual brick in ALthe so say “claimed”
I was not surprised when those Snowden documents leaked and we found out the government was spying on us. I don’t think anyone was actually surprised.
I love how he uses the sane brick thing in all the vids
You guys ever watched the shaft?
Joe Biden's going to renew the mass surveillance laws, isn't he? He helped author them after all.
Well that gave us no new information...

Why are a lot of your stock gifs contain russian stuff (Keyboads with the russian alphabet, etc.)?
Most, if not all, AT&T switching centers don't have windows.
Pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who genuinely enjoys Newark Airport. But to be fair I grew up and became an av-nerd near by and have alot of fond memories.
There really is so much going on in the world that we don’t know about. They probably have an underground tunnel from the FBI headquarters to Titanpointe.
I love the way his go-to way to get the FEDS off his back is to talk about bricks for 2 mins straight
What a brutal structure !!
They're too tight to pay for window cleaning
Conspiracy theorist: the NSA spies on us! People: get out of here, you paranoid weirdo! Former NSA agent: *reveals that the NSA is spying everyone* People: *surprised pikachu face*
The bricks please we need it a 10 min video of it plz I'm begging !
Isn't it pronounced like war-neck-ee and not wonky
a windowsless skyscraper? so everyone uses Linux inside?
It’s labeled AT&T on the front of the building.
Dude, you missed the MOST IMPORTANT FACT... It's the head quarters for the Men In Black.
I felt this was nothing but a commercial for Brilliant. Weird flex bro
The AT&T Long Lines building was the direct inspiration for The Oldest House in the game Control. Pretty cool to see a video about it. Cool piece of brutalist architecture.
i’m getting Control vibes from this building
The Oldest House moment
I prefer the part where he talks about bricks.
I tripped the fuck out watching this after the Christmas explosion before realizing this is where it was... fuck me life is a simulation 100%
AT&T Long Lines Building 33 Thomas St, New York, NY 10007 maps.app.goo.gl/vgVUPQ6XrFtdGkC98
"I'm not gonna reveal the address. Anyway some people call it 33 Thomas street, here's what that looks like from a satellite view, also its just around the corner from the FBI building"
It's also called the he Dark tower. This is the building that has all the killery emails.
Many Telephone Exchange Buildings are Window Free. Wellington St Perth Australia as an example. It is more to do with Temperature Control.
It's just a server center
Based off who is trying to call whom
This man loves bricks
We have a building like that in kansas city at&t owned it and it looks just like this building

There's also one in Nashville. Well, most of one.
Actually, there’s just a giant gun inside that the Evangelions use
There is a nearly windowless building in st paul. Its tied to the century link building. As far as im aware its a server building
Is everyone of your videos sponsored? Dang
Crazy man after watching this: ah I have one of these near me in Nashville!

bingo, that building was the scene of a suicide bomb and i bet 4chan knew of titanpointe also, stupid NSA routes the connections in these parts for "national security" and fun fact underneath the WTC was a tank of deadly phosgene, NY decided no map of the NYC underground could be made until the hurricane flooded a substation.
2:16 very clever 👏👏
We know that the only way to enter the windowsless palace is to have a level 4 teleporter to teleport you inside
This video was made possible by the FSB
you would figure that the smell outside newark airport would help deter the lines
So that's what the Nashville bomber has blown up!?
Yeah only thing I really know about this building is that Tom Hanks saying “ this literally the scariest building I ever seen”
2:37 I can't believe you said sharkicane instead of sharknado, there's nothing worse than the movie sharknado. What a missed opportunity
Make a full episode about bricks
The Thomas st. Building is still obviously occupied by AT&T obviously, but the rest of the info is neat. I personally have that building as a customer of mine and I’m totally going to question my contact as to what goes on in the building next time I go there for service haha
I love how we found out that the government spies on us and collectively we all just...were really cool about it.
Snowden is a hero.
Sooo...not going to reveal the exact address but “some people” call it 33 Thomas Street. Hmm...
Its a nuke
It’s the tower of Nero
Total BS. It's the MiB HQ.
i'd live there... no sun, games and youtube all night PARTAY AT MA HOUSE!!
Question: Is the building PRECISELY 550', or is it 555'? Because: 555' x 12" = ........wait for it...................6,660 Inches! I know this because the documentary, Secrets In Plain Sight, tells us that the Washington Monument is 555' tall which equals 6,660", and stands as a phallic symbol in the center of the vesica piscis.....yes, it's a penis & vagina thing going back to ancient Egypt----New World Order / Illuminati / Federal Reserve Banker stuff.
To those who know , 33 is a Freemason/Satanic number . The Freemasons control the whole world ; the NSA is part of the shadow world government !
Oh that’s the Federal Bureau of Control. Duh.
Apples headquarters does have windows. Whats this dude talking about?!
I could have told you that!
Me thinks most interesting building in NYC. Is windowless skyscraper Until 2:50 When I see taller JENGA building
No Windows?...IOS then?
Glad to see you used a friends picture I took mid 70's of guy at the trunk test position.
No windows.... Address is 33......Sounds very Freemason like!
Nah... that's the Oldest House

Did you think 33 Thomas Street was a nickname? It's literally the address.... 33 Thomas St, New York, NY 10007 takes 3 seconds to find on Google maps.
So many commercials. Im blocking the channel because of that. So instead of getting a lil bit of money a lot of times you will get ZERO. SCUMBAG
"im not gonna reveal the address" google earth is enough for me
It’s the Men in Black headquarters.
I just wanted more brick talk :(
Imagine the guy behind the curtain saying that in 50 years we all will be replaced by robots is actually a robot🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I didn’t get the Apple and Windows joke until I heard it the second time.
I think I know where Watch Dogs 4 is going to take place in.
3,000 comments yet most are reiteration of about 4 comments.
Who’s here after the events in Nashville? Pretty suspicious to me.

It’s sharknado you fucking psychopath Sharkicane, this fucking guy.....
Now i get it why there is no windows and it is a top secret 😂🤣😂🤣
There is one in Brisbane, Australia as well.
I thought it was the Oldest House.
The Oldest House eh?
Maybe This is where the tall grey aliens meet with our top military brass .... oh no there's a knock at my door , a black car , weird noise on my ...
It's an influence on The Oldest House from the game Control, I know that much.
Anytime there is a building with no windows and or tunnels always a high security clearance
"I won't mention the adress" and proceeds to show multiple satellite photos
Anytime he has to talk about the government his go to is bricks
No ones gonna talk bout how smooth he transitioned into that ad ?
We have a similar (part) windowless 16 story At&t building at 14th and Locust in Kansas City, Mo.
I've always called it the windowless AT&T building.
The Airco pumps on the roof are barely enough to cool an office.
Hearing his voice, my brain autofills "is sponsored by squarespace" "is sponsored by Brilliant" after any half finished sentence
