[sifoo]

Can we get Dan a small plushie maybe a banana to throw at linus and luke when they say Alright Dan hit us. I feel the surprise and shock factor would be hilarious

[maximal]

Linus: Are you going to let me finish?
Luke: No
I bust out laughing there I don't know why.

[anzonix]

Really liking the long WAN shows. And I do watch them all in their entirity. The LMGs main product for me is the wan show, and all other content is extra. It kinda flipped that way slowly when my interest in the latest hardware started dwindling.

[Gods_God]

The WAN show has quickly become one of those podcasts I look forward to listening to during my work week. Last week's show was a real gem, and quite honestly I just need more quality podcasts to have to get through the week.

[miodrag.aleksic]

Linus telling Luke "Don't worry about it" when Luke says he has no idea what the Wheel of Pain is, has such big "Be not afraid" biblically accurate angel energy.

[connormcawesomeface]

This show was so long that, I started it shortly after it went live and I removed and replaced my medicine cabinet, cleaned the bathroom and then finished the show on the couch. 10/10. I want 5 hours next Friday!

[wayneadams]

For "Defend the undefendable" segments, you should use a chess timer with each side getting 3 minutes overall and you click the timer when you've finished a point for the other to counter.

[HonoredMule]

One new segment you guys may want to consider is the bathroom break. I bet it would be almost as popular with viewers as it would with the hosts.

[bowenbax]

Petition to add a type of segment that allows Linus and Luke a bathroom break around halfway through the show

[evildude]

Hey Luke, last show being the best was in no way related to you being silent, other than your amazing commitment to the bit. It was entirely Linus being unhinged and cussing constantly that made it hilarious.

[bucket]

I honestly love the "Linus corrects misconceptions" video pitch idea. You stated that you might be worried about insulting the audience, but there's no reason it has to be structured that way. If users pose a question or state wrong information, you can recording yourself correcting them in a calm, informative manner. If the attitude is right, there's no room for insults. And for me personally, I would love to see videos like it because they sound very informative as I'm sure I have a thousand misconceptions about tech without even realizing it.

[MaximillianRadniecki]

I absolutely love long form content. I hate shorts and will rarely watch a video less than 10 minutes. More than half of videos I watch are over an hour.
Thank you WAN Show for being this for me

[zackbob]

I like the longer WAN shows and the responding to merch messages. I just bought my first house in September and it is very quiet and lonely a lot of the time so thanks for keeping me company guys! :)

[cody]

"It is like half a work day"

Thank you! I watch this while working and love spending half of my day with Linus and Luke!

[urband]

Timestamp guy gonna have a lot of work this weeks, bless his heart.

[RedHeadForester]

I appreciate the longer shows. It gives me something to put on in the background while I do stuff without the need to constantly pick up the phone to scroll for the next thing to listen to or to skip ads, and it's not just pointless background noise, I can actually learn about current tech events and occasionally learn life improvement tips as well!

[guitaripod]

3.5 hour WAN show. I remember complaining about 50 minute WAN shows a few years ago.

Thanks boys

[arya_amg]

Wow it's been 4 wan shows in row that it's getting better and better
Amazing work guys it was hard to watch because I'm short In time but it was worth it as always

[Grandwigg]

When Linus first brought out the wheel, I was apprehensive at best, expecting 'challenges' that have been so prolific lately.

That said, I love the random devil's advocate concept, and very much enjoyed the segment. Luke and Linus did amazing with this.
