Welcome to Bisneyland.
Okay, first of all, how could you let this happen? I did not let this happen. This was actually not me for once in my life, even though everybody thinks it is.
Well, I woke up to an email chain and I got to read the play-by-play that Linus had been kind of, like,
stream of consciousness emailing to our YouTube representatives since 4 a.m.
I never thought it was an existential risk, even when they, like, deleted our channel, everything.
But we just thought, okay, this is going to make this week annoying,
but it's not like we're going to lose all of our money and our jobs are over.
I never thought that was the case. So really my first thought was, like, how does this affect today's shoot
since we have members of the public coming in for that video?
And so one of the first things I did was just, hey, that video is sponsored.
What if we need a different host? Because Linus has been up since 4 a.m.
So my initial thought really was, like, the show must go on.
How can we continue to do our jobs with minimal business disruption
and have all this crap going on at the same time?
Luke, you've mentioned that you've been up for a little while, huh?
Yeah, 32 hours at this point.
32 hours? Going good. One Red Bull Zero Coffee.
My girlfriend swung by before she went to work.
I got to the office at about 4 a.m. You're the first one here, right?
Yeah. I wanted to get some physical access to a few systems that we had here
so I could help work on stuff. And then my girlfriend swung by on her way to work
and dropped me off like a care package of, like, a new set of clothes,
deodorant, toothpaste, food for the day.
It was amazing. That's probably the only reason why I'm still kicking.
And here we are. My train of thought lasts about 30 seconds,
and I can only do one thing at a time. So if I lose what I'm doing, I apologize.
I know you've been busy the whole day, so we need to catch you up on some memes.
Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. Hold on, I got to show you guys a meme first.
That's a classic. That's a banger. Actually, I want to like that.
Let's meet a group right now. Pretty much. Pretty much.
Yeah, I woke up at 4 o'clock this morning
to a bunch of missed calls from brand partners of ours.
And I had gotten a text from somebody at the company,
and all the text was was a picture of Elon. And I guess my wife got up to go to the bathroom and she saw the phone.
She's like, why is Elon on Colton's phone?
Is somebody sending him memes at 3.30 in the morning?
And she didn't say anything, so I woke up to a bunch of phone calls
and it was chaos from there. This kind of just looks like everyday.
They should have done a two-panel meme where it's like,
this is a normal day and then today is the same image,
but with Luke sitting there. Immediately, just with the full accuracy.
I've used a few... You know, this feels very inspired by the dog sitting in the fire.
Everything is fine here. I've used that a few times today already.
LNG staff waking up this morning. Line of detectives, Techquickie.
ShortCircuit channels. Super fun. Yeah, that was good.
Yeah, it was really weird because it's like some of the channels.
Did they take down all the channels? No. At least the good channels were unharmed.
ShortCircuit, Techquickie. No, no, yeah, ShortCircuit was fine.
Yeah, that's awesome. ShortCircuit is out of the fire, I guess.
I was going to say they're still live. There's a few channels still out.
Some of them survived. If you look at Jake's video on ShortCircuit,
that was the most recent video
that was on one of the bigger main channels
that wasn't down. So it had this huge immediate spike.
So yeah, that's what we're still doing. When some of you lose them.
Why is looking at Tesla and Elon Musk?
This is too soon.
It's funny, but I'm just so done with it.
I carpooled to work and the first thing I said to Robert,
he's one of the editors, I was like, where were you at 2 a.m. this morning?
Have you ever bought a Tesla? Do you own crypto?
What I like about it is that there's no caption.
He's not saying anything.
I had seen this meme used, but not the green screen part of it.
That's pretty good. Poor Linus right now.
This one, I just really freaking love this picture.
I think that literally happened. Linus and I were talking to each other
about how both of us ran from where we were attempting
to sleep naked to our computers to start working on things.
I picked up my clothes from the day before
and just ran to my computer and then sat down and started working.
And then I heard my roommate start to take a shower. So I knew he was going to exit after the shower
directly to where I was. So I just like quickly threw clothes on
and then just kept working. So yeah, that feels pretty accurate.
Okay, next. Tesla LTT. Yo, that's actually pretty good.
That's a good logo. Tesla LTT.
Well, this is really LTT Tesla.
Oh, that's pretty good, actually. That's funny.
I haven't seen that. I saw Brett from UFD Tech did like a BTT logo,
but I haven't seen this one. Gone fishing t-shirt. Are we actually doing merch for this?
I wouldn't be surprised. I would not be surprised, right?
Trust me, bro.
This is like a legit shirt, honestly. Like, it's kind of sad, but that's what happened.
Gone fishing. That's pretty good. I feel like we might end up with a shirt.
I don't know what it's going to be. Would not surprise me.
Just like a broken PDF logo or something.
Don't click it, please. Rough month for LMG.
Are you winning, son? Well, this tech does employees having to worry
about their job security twice. Actually, this meme is really funny
because we added somebody to our HR team. And the Friday before they started was when Linus
was talking about what he called the hard R.
And then a week and a half later, we got this.
What a way to get acquainted.
I tell you. Are you winning, son? I don't know.
We have people who work from home who also live at home.
This could be plausible. That's rough.
I did worry a little bit about how people are going
to react coming in this morning. But Linus posted a pretty uplifting message
in the team's chat. So I think people are pretty OK.
The channel's got hacked Free Wancho title. I've been here so long that the first thing that I thought
of when this happened, I was like, are we going to make a video on this?
And apparently within hours Linus had already written a script.
There will be a video on this. Free Wancho title, no shit.
This is going to be a sweet Wancho. It's probably going to be one of the biggest ever.
That's another. A lot of this stuff relates quite well.
One of the first things I said to Linus once I saw him in person was at least titling Wancho is going to be
easy this week. And yeah, we already have a title for Wancho.
So no problem. Maybe the real tech tips were the first we made a lot of
money. That's good.
I was hoping they would have some other banner other
than terminated for violating community guidelines
because the second I saw that I was like, everyone's going to freak out.
It's not actually that big of a deal. Google's been working with us since pretty early on in
this whole process. It's taken quite a while and things could maybe have gone
a little faster, but I'm not complaining.
Wow, I never saw it in that state. I saw there was a video where I had like a bag on my
head back from NCX and that one was highlighted for me
for a while. But I did not expect how to hide your porn to make a
strong comeback.
Have I ever told, oh, this is Flow Plain. I can finally tell the story.
Okay. The how to hide your porn video. I was pretty new here and I was like,
I need to find a YouTube sponsor for this video. So I reached out to Pornhub and their press team returned
my email in 20 minutes and they're like, we will sponsor this video.
Of course you can't actually do that on YouTube.
So we had to abandon it, but it was pretty funny. It was a good moment.
All right. That's it. How are you feeling today though?
I am very sleepy. I feel good though. I'll feel a lot better when the channel comes back and all
the videos are back and monetized and everything's good
and sponsors are happy and we're making videos again. But I'm really happy that we have Flow Plain at times
like these. So you're back at it. Yeah.
I'm going back to work. Thanks for watching. Hopefully this Flow Plain exclusive does well.
I've been thinking all day we should try to push something because there's like tons of new users.
Thank you for joining. I hope you enjoyed here. I know there was like some, okay.
So here's some inside baseball. We launched an app update earlier in the week.
It takes quite a while for it to propagate.
It finally hit people today and it introduced a bug that caused
issues that were completely unrelated to everything else
happening and all the new people joining the platform.
So we had to fix that while all of this was going on.
That is now fixed. Apologize. And now everything's working great.
So yeah, hopefully you enjoyed it. Thank you.
