| 0:00.0 | What is up, everyone? Welcome to the WAN show. It is really good to see you. Yeah. Yeah. |
| 0:07.0 | It's been a while. This is the latest WAN show of all time. The streak, fortunately, is still alive. |
| 0:14.0 | But we are officially 173 hours late. Is it down? Yeah, that's about right. And for that, I am truly sorry. |
| 0:22.0 | We've got a lot of great topics for you guys today. Disney is not going to be selling DVDs in Australia anymore. |
| 0:29.0 | Physical media is actually dying ironically in one of the places that needs it more than anywhere else with the standard internet. |
| 0:38.0 | Also, I freaking called it for years to for years. I have been saying child influencers are going to sue their parents. It's happening. What else we got today? |
| 0:49.0 | I don't know. GTA 6 leak conducted by a teenager with an Amazon fire stick. That makes no sense to me. That'll be an interesting topic. What are you even saying? |
| 1:00.0 | I don't know. Meta blocks Canadian news. Yeah. And satire. Really? Yeah. Okay. That I didn't know. I heard about this. Like the beaver tin or something. |
| 1:13.0 | Got blocked, I think. Bizarre. Yeah. Anyways. |
| 1:16.0 | Oh, right. There's no logo. The show is brought to you today by Dbrand. Sorry about that. We'll be talking a little bit more about that later. |
| 1:45.0 | Okay. Like I thought there was one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dbrand sponsored the show today. All right. Let's go ahead and jump right into our. What is our headline topic? Disney. Oh, no. Right. The headline topic is one of the shows of all time. So how weird was it? |
| 2:05.0 | Not doing Wancho. Very weird. Very weird. Yeah. Like actually threw me off in like a lot of weird ways. Like I woke up on Saturday freaking out thinking that I was like late for work. Literally. Right. Because my brain was like I didn't do Wancho last night. |
| 2:23.0 | Therefore, it is not Saturday. Not over. Yeah. I just wasn't really sure what to do with myself. Yeah. I mean, I'll tell you guys one thing wasn't weird about it. And that was that Luke and I hung out. So we did private Wancho. We didn't talk about tech really much. I don't think. Yeah. We had the we had the SOS and they don't care. They're not going to be very interested. Yeah. They were that they're super not interested in that. So. |
| 2:52.0 | I haven't talked tech with you in two weeks. Yeah. Yeah. And all the work conversations have been like process and protocol. And how are we going to do this other thing and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. |
| 3:04.0 | It's funny. How a week of introspection has ended up being one of the most intense work weeks in my memory. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. How exactly did that happen that we're supposed to slow down and figure it out? |
| 3:19.0 | But it turns out figuring things out as a freaking ton of work. Oh, yeah. There's there's a lot of like conversations you've been delaying for a while because they're difficult. But like now's the time or their time consuming that to or there's a lot of people that you need to try and get in the same room. And everyone's everyone's got a busy schedule. Yeah. Yeah, it was it was it felt really good. |
| 3:42.0 | Missing Wancho, not that's that's actually not what I'm talking about anymore. But it was the right move. Yeah, it was the right thing to do. I mean, I think that I want to give a shout out to our community manager, Steven. |
| 3:54.0 | Absolutely. He had the sage idea of asking the float plane community, hey, do you guys want to see the exclusive content that realistically we already edited and already uploaded all we were waiting. We're just waiting to hit go. Do you want to see Wancho? Do you how do you guys want this work? Yeah, what do you want to happen here because realistically, I mean, I think I already made it pretty clear. |
| 4:23.0 | I was going to hang out with Luke on Friday night anyway. So yeah, it really doesn't make a difference to me. I don't I really don't think it makes a difference to Luke if we do Wancho with a camera pointed at us or if we do it without a camera pointed at us. But then was down. Yeah, so so I want to shout out to Steven because I think the biggest takeaway from all of this is that at the end of the day, the community is the boss. |
| 4:50.5 | And whatever they say goes and he kind of went, okay, look, you guys decide, do you want it? Do you want it? Do not want it? And I think the majority actually said, go ahead. |
| 5:04.0 | I, I, I, I'm not looking at the poll results right now. |
| 5:06.5 | If I remember correctly, that's true, but it wasn't by a huge amount. |
