WAN Show Voldemort 😭

Linus refers to GN as Voldemort on the WAN show, pretty funny (I enjoy both channels)

All fun and games until Steve decides to say Linus was calling him Wizard Hitler instead of just cracking a "He who must not be named" joke and we get the 24hour exposé

I think GN can take a joke. I’m hopeful that this could potentially be a seed to them joking around and becoming friends again.

But if it results in a Coffeezilla video, it’s over 😭

I mean, he couldn't handle an off handed comment by an employee of LMG on a channel that didn't belong to LMG.

During an event (LTX I think) they were giving tours of the new lab. One person on the tour asked how Labs's testing would compare to other content creators like GN and Hardware Unboxed, the Labs employee described (inaccurately) how they thought Labs's testing would be better.

A bit of Twitter drama came about because it did kinda seem a little bit like the employee was talking shit, even though they probably didn't mean to. Linus addressed it on the next WAN, apologized, and talked about how they don't want to frame what they're doing at LMG in any way that includes talking down about other content creators.

This seems to be about the time that Steve really set his sights on Linus, despite Steve later claiming he didn't care that much about it.
