Linus Eating Pet Peeve

Natanael

Hi guys,

 

Am I the only one that has to skip parts of the Wan Show when Linus decides to eat something? I love you Linus, you're my idol but please, I beg you, take a 10 minute break before the stream to eat something.

 

Be gentle with me.

 

I hate Misophonia.

Linus has been made aware of this and has responded too:

Linus' response: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1100506-this-is-done-out-of-love-but-i-think-there-it-a-bit-of-a-problem-with-the-wan-show/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-12868652

 

Personally I find it quite annoying too and often skip the next news spot/any sponsor spots after that jerky company (forgot the name). The ad isn't even relevant to me, since we're not allowed to import it here anyways..

But anyways, people made fun of me and others who find this annoying, so some don't see this as an issue..

 

Linus often being late for WAN show and being incredibly busy typically just doesn't have the time to eat before the show,  judging by his response. So there is not much that can be done about it :/

Being 100% honest I still think it's just the way the jerky company wants their product to be advertised :x'

Well... This does draw a lot of attention to it!

You can't blame someone for being hungry, at the end of the day we're all humans and we have to eat to stay healthy.

Yeah this is unlikely to change, nor would I ask them to do so.

 

Some people have weird phobias. Yours is being triggered by certain sounds. That sucks, but you can either turn down the volume, or mute and turn on CC when he's eating.

 

What do you do when you eat meals with other people? Expect everyone to eat in silence?

Never understood why people get so bothered by this.

 

I mean do you not have convos with people while you are having dinner?

For some people? No. They will get upset/annoyed/offended if you speak while you’re eating a meal. 
 

I mean there’s a balance between being rude while eating and talking, but it’s not black and white.

If someone gets offended by me talking at the dinner table while chewing I would never bother to have dinner with them again. In the sense that it was as mild as what linus is doing on the wan show. its not like hes got an overfull mouth and shits falling out of it when he speaks.

 

Yes theres a balance. but i was referring to the manner in which linus does it on wan show.

I'm not particularly bothered by it, but I still think it's really unprofessional to be eating on the show. I haven't watched the WAN show in a while anyway, the news topics they spend an hour on I can go read in a few minutes.

I mean thats kinda the point isnt it?

 

For them to read the news and give their opinion on it. The podcast would be pointless if they just read off the news and nothing more.

Y'all would hate the Rooster Teeth podcast where they have a steak-off. Or the AH podcast where they just eat because why the fuck not (there is also now a podcast based around new and limited time foods. however they don't film the eating, just the reactions). Honestly, with as big of an audience as those two podcasts have, I've never heard of someone having an issue with eating during their shows. Now during a Lets Play where AH are talking directly into the mic, yes people do get bothered by that.

 

I don't hear any inherent slapping, smacking, mushing, or crunching sounds per-say. Usually because Luke, or the other co-host, is simply talking about the next topic. Especially since neither of them are talking directly into the mic, it's centered between them so it will pick up less of the eating noises. Either y'all are really damn sensitive, or I just don't notice it because I usually play games while listing to the podcasts.

 

But we need to give Linus and his co-host a break. They're busy filming all day and sometimes right up to the WAN Show, usually being late as a result. You'll often hear Linus complain about not having eaten all day because of being so busy. We really need to cut the man some slack. Next, y'all are gonna complain you hear his stomach growling and tell him to eat something. When you have a very tight production schedule, you don't get the luxury of "brb, gotta take a shit" or "let's take five for lunch". Think of it like shipping and logistics. If the package is not moving, it's not in transit. If it's not in transit, it will not get to the destination in time. If it does not get to the destination in time, the customer will be upset, and possibly put them behind their own schedule because the package contained something they needed to keep going; like replacement parts for a machine as an example.

 

Let's just understand that LMG serves us free videos everyday, and they're actually good at that (despite some click-bateyness).

That sucks. Its only some of the best Jerky money can buy. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
