I agree! Together, they're a very entertaining team. I'd like to clarify though, what I mean by "Linus can take responsibility for his own mouth" is not that he has to abandon the spicy takes, but that he needs to listen more closely to what he says and correct himself if he's being unreasonable. I don't think it's fair to rely on other people to do it for him.
That said, this does seem like one of the things they are addressing; per the video, Linus said that future crisis communication will be handled through the other executives, which strikes me as a simple and effective solution. The main problem for most people I think is letting their emotions cloud their thinking in situations like this; I'm the same way! And, lucky enough to have a few people who talk me through and keep me level. Maybe for the WAN show he and Luke can have a safe word, and Linus can simmer down if he hears it ๐
