0:00.0	everyone and welcome to the WAN show. We've got a great show lined up for you this week.
0:04.1	At least we hope we do. You might have noticed that we are also live on the channel with our 24
0:10.1	seven LTT TV stream. I have no idea how those two streams are going to interact with each other.
0:17.6	YouTube assures us that it's fine to have two live streams going from the same channel at the same
0:21.7	time. We currently do. I just loaded it up. What I suspect is that basically nobody is going to
0:28.7	watch WAN show and they're going to be like WTF what the heck happened to WAN show and we're
0:32.3	going to be like this happened to WAN show. Got a lot of great topics for you guys today.
0:37.2	The big ones are of course threads launching. This is a new Twitter alike from meta parent company
0:45.1	of Facebook and Instagram and Elon Musk was salty. He was a salty baby. Oh, but that's not really

1:28.2	Oh, okay. Yeah. Sure. Why not? The CEO of a alleged rug pull game is suing goat moth.
1:35.5	The creator that we've mentioned a couple times on WAN show in the past for his exposés of
1:40.4	cheating and tar cough. So that'll be a little spicy. We'll talk about that in the moment.
1:44.8	And the next one I can't decide between the end of Giffycat and the fact that apparently
1:49.2	emojis can quite literally be legally binding. You picked those over EEGA potentially going
1:55.6	out of business. It's a potential allegedly maybe, maybe, maybe. That's true. Yeah.
2:19.7	Okay. Right into threads or right into Google. I think you can actually just choose this time.
2:25.4	Yeah. Because the title was kind of both. Yeah. Which one do you want to do?
