    Hope Dan is getting reimbursed as well, though if Madison’s claim about time off is to be believed, I don’t have much confidence in that.

    A bit of a side tangent, but the way Linus talks to Dan has always kinda rubbed me the wrong way. There’s jokey “Dan wants me to do this but I’m gonna do this instead” banter that’s ok but there are times where Linus just seems to openly disregard Dan and blame him for his own fuckups on the show. Not trying to be a parasocial Andy here but it does make the podcast harder to listen to, imo.

      Linus has this attitude with everyone. The reason you see it more with Dan is because it’s Live.

      He has an attitude problem

        Yeah, I was really annoyed when, during the Billet Labs monoblock “review” video, I saw Linus berating his cohost for not guessing shit he wanted, while the cohost was very obviously trying his best to do all he could while respectfully staying out of Linus’s way.

        And that’s just one example in a single video.

        Damned if you do, damned is you don’t. You just can’t win.

      It’s really off-putting to me too, even if it was truly fake banter. And I’m no longer sure it’s even mostly fake banter.
