What's up everyone? Welcome to the win show. We've got a great show lined up for you guys today. Of course one of the big topics is it's the end of an era. This is officially my last day as the CEO of Linus Media Group, which is both a little hard to process and a and and really exciting.

So I can talk a little bit about that. Maybe we'll do some Q&A since I still haven't done that full plenty of use of Q&A. Sorry, sorry. I will do it in other news. Maybe you shouldn't do Q&A because of that.

YouTube is now offering you a stellar deal. Three free videos. If you've got ad blocker enabled and after that, you're blocked. You're done. We're going to be talking about this as well. What else we got Luke?

I should have been more prepared for this as per usual. We launched a new channel. You're sitting there for an hour and a half leading for me. I have. Thanks for which two topics you wanted to talk about. No, I did. Even if I do, though, you take them. So game linked, new channel launched. Actually, great already exploded going to get a silver play button already going well. The first video is number six on trending. It's awesome. I'm excited. You should be to moving on. We have other things. I'm going to pick this one. I have no idea what it's about. Hashtag milk.

Hashtag milk gate. Wow, that's a really small topic. But sure, I guess we'll make sure to address it. Oh, OK, I see what it is now. I'm actually extremely not interested in that. So I'm going to move forward.

Oh, here we go. I love it. And then an AI topic game publisher fire staff hires AI editor. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go, Dan. Yeah.

I was also not prepared.

So this is it tomorrow. Well, not tomorrow because tomorrow is Canada day statutory holiday. Do you have a hat to Luke? Yeah, Jessica, our WAN show writer provided us with like Canada trucker hats to wear during the show.

I'm not sure if mine is going to last the whole show, but it's very style. And I am liking the sparkle. So tomorrow is a statutory holiday. But the day after that, our new CEO, Mr. Tarantong will be starting. It's not really, you know, a jarring. OK, this day is the last day and everything's going to change. It's not really going to be like that. I mean, there's going to be a transition period. He's not even going to be in office full time.

Like five days a week until probably sometime next year, just because of some integration challenges and that sort of thing. But this is, this is it. And I've, I've had a lot of time to think about, you know, what's going to change. But, you know, realistically, what I would like to do is kind of open it up to you guys for a little bit of Q&A, not merge message Q&A. We'll get to merge messages later.

Of course, if you want to ask questions, you can do it with a merch message LTT store.com in the checkout. You just fill out the little merch message box. And then when you complete your order, it'll go to our producer Dan, who I can't show you because I don't have a stream deck in front of me. But hey, there he is. What's up producer Dan. And he will go through and curate some for me and Luke to talk about later.

Man, the number of people that have asked me about it today, I have to confess that this week has been so busy and I have been feeling so crummy. I think I'm just kind of jet lagged and wasn't sleeping enough for my trip to New York that I actually didn't realize until multiple people asked me how I was feeling today.

And I was like, pretty good, like I'm tired. You know, people don't ask me how I'm feeling today, generally speaking. I think they care. You know, I pay them to care, whatever, right?

Uh-huh. Slash ass guys, I'm kidding. But more than one person sort of went out of their way. And then finally, it was Mark, our editor, Mark, who actually said, how are you feeling? It's your last day as CEO to them.

Right.

Um, there's definitely a few things that have changed already. And I'd say the biggest one is that when I don't want to deal with something, I'm just CC and Terran and going when he starts, he can deal with this.

Have you encountered any of that, Luke?

Uh, no, but I have encountered running into problems and just not even contacting you in the first place and just talking to him directly because that's what you told me to do.

Okay. Then the system works. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

Honestly, honestly, I want like, you know, we're doing this live, Luke. We're doing this live. I have appreciated a chance to defend himself.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I have appreciated the conversations. I think we're actually quite aligned on a lot of stuff. I've brought up some, some concerns and some ideas and he's listening to the ideas.

I don't know that he's taking them. It doesn't have to take them, whatever. Um, but he, he seems, you know, invested in making things better, which is cool. He seems to care. And he's listening to stuff.
