The Level1 Show August 20 2024: Social Insecurity

[@AtomicGoober]

I think Ryan's perspective is a key part of the show, especially his skills in transitioning between stories. It keeps things rolling.

[@Jaggith]

Longer is good, commentary is good. Love this trio.

[@drewy2222]

I personally like Ryan's darker sense of humour and how you 3 mix together

[@paxdriver]

Noooo more stories! Longer. I live listening to this unwinding at the end of a noisy day.

[@warthunder1969]

Same! But I usually am drinking coffee of a morning listening to what they have to say ☕

[@thefrothingotter]

This show is part of my morning routines on Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays, please dont shorten the show!

[@guestimator121]

@@warthunder1969 I always listen to this while I'm typing some code, though I have to pause them from time to time to focus on something ;-)

[@ed.puckett]

I like the long shows. I like when all three of you are here!

[@benjamincarr9233]

Personally, I find Ryan's brand of sarcastic/cynical humour adds to the show. I personally also prefer the longer format shows, though I understand that you guys have to follow the viewership. Great work as always though!

[@shivamsharma-ey7hg]

I love when all 3 of you are here and discuss about the news. I am here for the commentary

[@GainingDespair]

Its OK Ryan, they love you, they just tsundere

[@Niyez]

Ryan, your commentaries are the main reason I'm here

[@esnevip]

I much prefer longer, I could listen to you guys rant and banter for hours.

[@herrpez]

Ryan #1. Love the wry humor.

[@josephkelly4893]

One of my favourite endings to an episode so far!!! Wendel just gets up and bails, (pretending to answer the door…..😅) Krista says, I’m done too!!! Byeeeeeeee!!! Ryan left looking perplexed… 😂

[@sre4life]

I love the longer videos, helps on my drive to work Tues, Wed, and Fri. Wish there was more. I’ll take what I can get. Thank you for all the entertainment and knowledge.

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

I like ‘em longer :-( (Suggestion: Add another category/segment that enables you to break out a fourth episode per week. That way the ADHD algorithm and the viewers enjoying the longer thing would be happy…)

[@Xplicit_420]

agreed!!!!

[@Cloveskis]

Anything but more AI news.

[@crimeforadime]

They have to read these articles lmao I'm sure they'd rather do something else besides read news 24/7

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

Maybe they could introduce something like viewer questions that get answered weekly on the “Links + Friends Show”, could eat up quite a bit of time.

[@vaughn1804]

That's what she said :-(

[@zx14jeff]

I would like to hear more of what you guys say about the Disney lawsuit. I worked for Disney for 14 years as a lifeguard nobody dies on Disney property as soon as they get outside the property that’s when they’re pronounced dead sometimes I had to perform CPR on the guest at the resort because I was the first on site until the EMS showed up, and even if guest was passed away, they wouldn’t declare them deceased until they got off Disney property!

[@opshlds]

I am here for all three of you!

[@Nicker000]

dont forget the milking robot

[@EdDale44135]

The geofence thing has to go to the Supreme Court because two different districts have made two different decisions.

[@SteveNeighbor]

Yes, this! Unfortunately.

[@MaconMedia]

YAAY! The band is back together!!! I like the longer shows, but I'll take what I can get.

[@svenstubes]

Pumped to have Ryan back

[@cheetah2003-z5w]

Glad to see you back Ryan.

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

Ignore the haters Ryan, You're cool.

[@kuil]

SSN numbers need to be replaced. They have always been insecure

[@phlogistanjones2722]

Very Interesting. I look FORWARD to more of your VIDJAS! Is that what I'm supposed to say Mr. Robot? Also welcome back Ryan. Peaceful Skies

[@Kaim.Argonar]

No Ryan, i like when you start to rant. 😢

[@stolenlaptop]

Same. He is the best part of the show.. at least to my cynical arse.

[@sw1ft3]

Personally being from new zealand I'm fucking disgusted by allowing FBI to operate in New Zealand. As for Kim being charged isnt it the same as charging McDonald's because drug deals were performed on their premise, or a high school or college? None of those can argue it doesn't happen.

[@Vincentl2189]

If Ryan isn’t here, who am I supposed to complain about?

[@felixman9691]

Longer is better, love you guys :)

[@johnblakely6568]

They might have used "pc" for percent (%) because they didn't know how to escape characters for the platform it was published on.

[@kahgyt9491]

Watching for nearly a decade. Longer is better.

[@GeoffSeeley]

You needed a McD's aluminum ash tray on the table to complete the 70/80's background image.

[@dismafuggerhere2753]

nice to see you back Ryan... there, someone said it !

[@FranSaVePR]

Silent minority that likes Ryan.

[@krandeloy]

I like Ryan too. Disagree with him a lot, but that doesn't mean I dislike him.

[@ManiacWizard]

Same.

[@BDChupacabra]

Watch out for the milking robot and have a good Tuesday 😛😭 lmaooo

[@HarryVoyager]

I mean, it's not even legal to use your Social Security number as a universal ID number, but everyone keeps doing it anyway.

[@thegreatrestart7356]

I like them longer and I like when Ryan is present

[@Alexrocksdude_]

While the news is obviously part of it, I love the dynamic discussion you guys provide! Thanks for another great episode :)

[@MrTubeuser12]

15:01 New Zealand's equivalent to the FBI is the GCSB (Government Communications Security Bureau) and yes they caved in to the FBI.

[@GloriHole]

Gotdamnit.. i waived back at Krista and said "byeeeeee" as well.

[@aure555]

On the viewership thing, FYI I hadn't seen any recommendations for the Level1 Show for AGES from youtube but last few episodes have all popped up in my recommended so yall have been added to my hyper-fixation collection for the next few months. In all seriousness I'm wondering if a significant portion of additional viewership falls under this category of returning viewers that dropped off.

[@chad2304]

I like Ryan but he seems to put everything through a certain lens that paints everything as evil. It can be exhausting though it is often justified. I think the duo energy was a lot of fun. You guys could always mix it up from time to time. Also, it’s ok to have disagreements and discussion! That’s what makes it interesting.

[@godwhomismike]

That background took me back to when I was a kid. Today, McDonalds restaurants look like a prison cafeteria.

[@billpancake]

Showing love for my boi Rye Bread ✊ lookin phat today my lad.

[@HumblyNeil]

Am i the only one who realized that the lighting for the foreground/background were matched is the truest sense that it feels like they genuinely look like they're in McDonald's?

[@SteveNeighbor]

...from 1984, with the creepy apple pie tree!

[@polyesterbebe]

I love the longer videos

[@brianmccullough4578]

Wooooooooooo! Ryan’s back!

[@LiquidExodious]

Thank you all for being back stop taking vacations please.

[@solidstate90]

NOO!! don't give in to the almighty algorithm 👁..... keep them long

[@Serene_Hour_Music]

Great video, as always!

[@StarDollar]

Some people (I) like variety as long as it's true to the original format. And when one of you are away, it creates a different interpersonal dynamic that fells refreshing and helps the show from ever feeling stale.

[@DocFr4nk]

I prefer longer videos too, just start it in the background and listen to it. It's much better then picking multiple videos to cover the same amount of time

[@zeshwonsos]

Long long longggggger. Please.

[@10100rsn]

If they split up Google then Apple, Microsoft and Meta would start buying the pieces.

[@TheSlowDude]

Thanks again

[@HumblyNeil]

@11:50 PC for Percent is not a British term... I'm guessing it could be a keyboard/characterset issue from the publisher

[@sirmonkey1985]

or it's the lazy way of getting around the fact that in the US we use percent and outside of the US you typically see per cent used. instead of asking their editor which one to use they probably just used pc which is still wrong, lol.

[@pesutoaka]

You 3 are a complete package. Do your worst!

[@knghtbrd]

Y'know those signs that say "Danger, not only will this kill you, but it will hurt the whole time you are dying"? It turns out in Ye Olde Dayse Of Yore(e), people in positions of power were shockingly good at coming up with things like that to do to people who had really irritated them. Except that first part-sometimes the person who did the irritating didn't, but wished they had. Why am I bringing this up? No particular reason. On an unrelated note, I'm of the opinion cybercriminals who target hospitals the elderly, and the disabled kind of need some good old fashioned consequences to their actions.

[@musicbro8225]

If it wasn't standard practice of many government departments and corporations to take advantage or just not care about the weak and vulnerable then that would be fair, but since it is, they would have to stand in line - a very long one - for the old school torture repercussions. I agree with you but it's just part of our 'humanity' that they are fair game, disgusting that that maybe and it's their fault for being a victim. :( The machine is unwieldy and dangerous and it is always looking at profit rather than the ugly and tragic consequences of the process, SHAME on us!

[@superjuddy]

God bless

[@chrispressley4644]

[@HylianOverlord]

I like all of you but it is nice when someone is out because it shakes things up.
