The WAN show ended a while ago though?

As for them being late. They have other stuff to do first and shit happens with the streaming setup even though they claim to not be touching it.

He got a vasectomy...so I guess he's just 'busier' than normal now.

The fabled curse of the Socks and Sandals. It was said that the Moose Gods cursed Linus to be forever late.

 

In all seriousness, I don't think LMG takes the job too seriously. It's part of their charm

In his Wikipedia entry:

 

The WAN Show is a regular Twitch live stream hosted by Sebastian and Lafreniere. The pair discusses topical news stories from the technology world, offering their opinion and fielding questions. Each show is uploaded to YouTube following first broadcast. There have been 176 episodes as of March 2, 2017. Since the first incarnation of the show, other Linus Media Group staff have intermittently hosted in place of either Sebastian or Lafreniere. Features of the WAN show include the live audience chat stream, the intro video failing & the show never starting on time.

 

I think the WAN Show starting late is probably part of their street cred unless they're interviewing someone extremely high profile like Elon Musk that they're probably crapping their pants into starting the show earlier. How I wish they'll have an interview with Elon Musk.

There is more that meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside

Some people are just like that. Linus seems like a pretty busy dude, he's got a rapidly growing business to manage, he's got three youtube channels to produce content for, and frankly he seems just a little disorganized. At the end of the day it's free content so there's no sense getting too upset when he's running a little late.

That would probably be a really weird interview. Linus would want to talk Tesla but Elon Musk would just keep muttering some mad gibberish under his breath about nuking Mars.

Plenty of good streams around that time.  Houston (Pugetsys) is usually building some fancy PC, Wendell is streaming with TeamPGP, etc etc. 

I often start watching one of those, end up closing the Linustech tab and watching the WAN show a day or two later.

Its pretty simple to be on time.

 

The only conclusion is Linus and the team at Linus Tech Tips doesn't care about their viewers.

I don't think that is really the case, though. You could always just wait and watch it on Youtube like a lot of other people do..

Any adult who has appointments should be on time, common courtesy is all I am saying. Besides I dont see the WAN show even on the youtube channel for ltt. Very disappointing I must say.

They are never late, you're clock isn't set to use Canadian seconds so it appears late for you.

 

That being said, who cares? Your life would be much better if you weren't impacted so much by other people's choices and actions that don't directly involve you. The bigger question here isn't "why is the WAN Show late?" but instead "what changes can I make in my life so I am not bothered so much by free entertainment?"

Must be the Pacific time zone and the weed odours perforating from Wastings and Pain down on west end.
