1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,640 Hi everyone, welcome to Mini Scroll, the daily Internet 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,760 culture podcast bringing you the biggest stories from social 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,400 media, the creator economy and the digital space every Monday 4 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,560 through Thursday. I'm your host, Lauren Meisner, 5 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,760 the founder of the youth digital media brand Centennial World. 6 00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,160 Welcome back to Mini Scroll, everyone. 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,840 OK, so today was a bit of a light Newsday because obviously 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,360 the TikTok ban, Trump's inauguration, like those two 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,880 things are just absolutely consuming the news right now. 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,440 So I thought I would give a bit of a content recap. 11 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,480 I haven't done this. I don't even know if I did it at 12 00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,800 all last year, but Jordy and I used to do a content recap 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,960 sometimes every single week of like the things we were watching 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,840 and loving. And I am so in the weeds of good 15 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,840 content right now. So I wanted to talk about two 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,440 things that I watched over the weekend. 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,000 I do have two other stories at the end. 18 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,960 So if you guys don't care about what I'm watching in my opinions 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,960 on it, then that's fine. Skip ahead. 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,200 There are always time stamps in the description. 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,960 But yes, so Severance is the first thing I want to talk about 22 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,240 and Molly May's documentary as well. 23 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,080 This is your disclaimer. Spoilers ahead for Severance 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,880 episode one season 2. This is literally my favorite 25 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,960 show of all time. I have been waiting for it to 26 00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:25,640 come back. This and Yellow Jackets waiting 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720 for these shows to come back. Episode 1 of season 2. 28 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,920 Severance did not disappoint. So I wanted to share some of my 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,120 theories. OK right. 30 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,480 So the episode stars Mark basically comes to after 31 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,320 swapping places with his Audi. He was screaming she's alive, 32 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,320 referring to Gemma who's his wife in the outside world. 33 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:49,200 Slash like Miss Casey, he is told that it's been 5 months 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,200 since the innies basically got out and like infiltrated the 35 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,360 Audi world. And he also was told that the 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,160 innies are now heroes. So I don't think either of these 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,480 things are true. I think it's very obvious that 38 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,440 the innies are probably not heroes on the outside world 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,080 because the photo that Mark is shown as evidence of that is so 40 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,520 clearly Photoshopped. And it also seems to be 41 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,600 photoshopped from like an iconic photo. 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,000 Like the the photo itself looks photoshopped, first of all, but 43 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,200 then it's photoshopped onto what seems to be this iconic photo of 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,880 U.S. President Eisenhower in Brazil 45 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,360 from 1960. So I'm going to say that that 46 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,360 photo in general that like, newspaper is completely fake. 47 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,680 I also don't think it's five months after because first of 48 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680 all, Miss Wong, who I'm going to talk about in a minute, says 49 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840 it's her first day on the job. And Milchuk has so clearly just 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,520 taken over from Miss Kobell. There's kind of evidence all 51 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,120 over the office office that she is not fully like gone yet and 52 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560 he has not fully had the like changing of the guards. 53 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,720 The biggest one being that he looks at his computer and it 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,200 just says Miss Kobell on it. Still, I did see some people 55 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,960 think that they possibly were transferred to Lumen somewhere 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,120 else, like the innies were taken to a different Lumen in like a 57 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,040 different country or something to kind of punish them for what 58 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,480 they did. By now. 59 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,640 I, I would love to hear what you guys think Lumen is doing. 60 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,640 So I think it's very clear that they are doing something related 61 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,000 to water. The theme of water is all over 62 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,680 the show and Lumens like logo or whatever is basically a big 63 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,520 water drop. I'm going to say water is 64 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,400 involved and it seems like consciousness is probably 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,000 involved. I'm assuming this all has 66 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000 something to do with bringing Kier Egan back or like doing 67 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,480 something so that the Egan's can basically like live forever. 68 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,920 I know one of the main theories is that MDR could be 69 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,400 categorizing, like the work that they do at MDR is like 70 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,320 categorizing information from consciousness into the four 71 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,840 tempers that Kyra Egan discovered, which is whoa, 72 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,960 frolic, dread, and malice. And if you look at the buckets 73 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,240 that MDR filters, its data, like you know the numbers and they 74 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,280 dance and they're like, you just have to look at the scary ones. 75 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,520 When you see the scary ones, you filter them into a bucket. 76 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,000 So those buckets have letters on them and they align with Whoa, 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,360 frolic, dread, and malice. So it's almost like being 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,480 severed is maybe the only way that someone can identify the 79 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,920 correct information because when you're severed, you're 80 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,480 essentially a blank slate, right? 81 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,279 It's maybe that having too much consciousness impacts your 82 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,360 ability to filter out the data that like, quote, UN quote, like 83 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,640 looks scary. And I know there's lots of 84 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,560 theories about like cloning and stuff. 85 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,600 I actually don't think cloning is involved. 86 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,920 Maybe it's involved in the greater picture, but I don't 87 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,680 think that they are like solely trying to clone people. 88 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080 OK, so back to this episode, the other points. 89 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,840 I definitely think that Dylan is being manipulated by Melchek. 90 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,840 I think either they're not actually building this family 91 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:47,440 and friends room and he's being told they are for obviously 92 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,480 manipulation tactics, or they actually are and they will bring 93 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,560 in his quote UN quote wife and it, you know, will not actually 94 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,600 be his wife. I think Miss Huang is maybe the 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,080 same vibe as Miss Casey, which is like both of them are 96 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,440 possibly deceased in the Audi world, but Lumen has created 97 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080 them on the inside. I again, I don't think that this 98 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,240 necessarily has to do with cloning, but maybe it, I don't 99 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,000 know. I mean, it's also possible that 100 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Miss Casey's body and Miss Huang's body are actually their 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,720 body. It's like Gemma's body, but Miss 102 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,840 Casey is not Gemma because it's not her consciousness. 103 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:25,240 I saw people say that Miss Huang is a clone of Gemma's young self 104 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,600 or that she is an older person that has been uploaded into a 105 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,000 younger body. OK. 106 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,160 And of course, the final one is that Heli is actually Helena. 107 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,400 Helena. Is it Helena in the. 108 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,920 I don't know. I can't remember how they say 109 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,920 her name. Helena. 110 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,520 No, it's Helena. Helena Egan. 111 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,880 Yeah, I know this theory has been around since the trailer, 112 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,560 but I actually did not know that theory. 113 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,520 And my brother and I were watching it. 114 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,840 He didn't know it either. And we both were like, I don't 115 00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:54,920 think that's Heli. And then we were looking it up 116 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,760 and everyone's like, yeah, we've been thinking this sense of 117 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:57,920 trailer. And I was like, Oh my God. 118 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,960 OK, so I think that they I don't think they made it like super 119 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,520 obvious, but I think there are some indicators. 120 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,800 Obviously she lied about her outside experience. 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200 And I just think like, Heli wouldn't lie about that. 122 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,280 I think she would just be so honest, regardless of the fact 123 00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,080 finding out she's an Egan, you know, like she would be like, 124 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,000 holy shit, this is crazy. This is what I found out. 125 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000 And like, how can we use this now? 126 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,720 She notes seeing a gardener at night, which Irving clocks, is 127 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,440 weird. First of all, a gardener that 128 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,240 gives rich vibes, you know, that gives somebody who thinks that 129 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,000 there is just gardeners around all the time at night is even 130 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,880 weirder. So, yeah, Irving's like, that's 131 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,320 weird. She seems to fish for 132 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,720 information from her colleagues a lot and there are several 133 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,440 moments where it seems like she just like, isn't quite herself. 134 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,320 I know the one that people are saying is the most telling is 135 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,280 when she has to like look for the computer switch. 136 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,400 It's like all the Indies do is sit at their computers all day. 137 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,400 They don't even leave that room. That's literally their whole 138 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,040 existence. They are on that computer all 139 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,640 day. They turn that computer on every 140 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,840 single day. It is literally all they do is 141 00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:06,160 sit in that room on that computer. 142 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,640 So like, yeah, you would know where that button was to turn on 143 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,480 your computer. I also just think, like Helena, 144 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,480 like, why would she ever let Helly go back inside after what 145 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,760 she did? She would never trust her again. 146 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,080 And then I saw this on a thread online and I didn't 147 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,640 independently verify this, but apparently in season 1 episode 148 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,560 9, Cobell told Heli at the gala when she finds out what's 149 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,160 happening that if she went through with the plan to expose 150 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,920 Lumen on stage, she'd be long gone but her friends would 151 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,200 suffer. And so people are like, that was 152 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,160 foreshadowing. Heli is long gone and Helena is 153 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,520 there to make the friends suffer. 154 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,240 Oh also I wanted to read this comment on YouTube that I saw 155 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,800 somebody was trying to explain like what MDR is doing so they 156 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,840 said they're actually sorting fragments of consciousness. 157 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,480 The emotional trauma makes them better at recognizing slash 158 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,680 sorting pieces of consciousness from people they deeply loved 159 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120 and lost. This explains why they need 160 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,720 humans to do this seemingly arbitrary task. 161 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,160 Machines can't replicate the emotional recognition. 162 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,040 OK, and for Molly May's documentary, I also watched the 163 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,560 first 3 episodes. It's not done yet. 164 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,120 There's only three episodes out, but I really enjoyed it. 165 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080 I don't know, I really like Molly May. 166 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,840 Everybody likes Molly May. I was going to say, I know 167 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,880 that's not unique. That's why she is like so 168 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,320 beloved. Like she is like Britain's 169 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,960 sweetheart, it seems. I don't know what it is about 170 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,080 her, but I do just really like her. 171 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640 I like that they're addressing things really quickly. 172 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,679 Like I think next episode they address the fact that there was 173 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:40,280 rumors that she and Tommy kissed on New Year's Eve and New Year's 174 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,640 Eve was like 3 weeks ago. So I think like truly in the 175 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,680 scheme of like reality TV, how instant this is, is really 176 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,840 awesome. And I think it's really unique. 177 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,160 I think in general, it's funny whenever we see these 178 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,640 documentaries about famous people because I find they're 179 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,040 all kind of the same. Like whether it's a a mainstream 180 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,880 celebrity and influencer, like whatever it is, the documentary, 181 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,880 like the through line or like the theme is always the same. 182 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,520 Like be careful what you wish for Being famous is not all that 183 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,880 it's chalked up to be. It really is the same story over 184 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760 and over again. It's like all of these famous 185 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,240 people in these, like, ginormous houses or like are surrounded by 186 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,800 teams of people and the famous person, the talent, the 187 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,680 influencer has anxiety, depression, social phobia. 188 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,000 They hate being famous. And I think it's like twofold. 189 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,360 I think partly we see that because that is probably what 190 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800 being massively famous actually turns you into. 191 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,760 Like I imagine the emotional and mental health toll of being 192 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,360 famous would be almost unbearable sometimes. 193 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,440 So I think it's partly the product of that. 194 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:55,240 And then I also think that it is partly kind of the style of 195 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,520 documentary where it's like the purpose of these documentaries 196 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,840 is to humanize them and to make us empathize with them and to 197 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,960 like, hear their quote UN quote side of the story. 198 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,480 OK, let's get into the stories for today. 199 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,280 I mean, those were kind of stories, but, you know, there 200 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:11,800 were slim pickings for like news. 201 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,280 So the first story that I have for you guys is that Kendrick 202 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,920 Lamar has saved TikTok. This is like a new kind of like 203 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,400 low key trend online. My brother actually came to me 204 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,000 last night and he was asking why everyone online, like on his 205 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,960 side of the Internet, on Reddit, whatever he frequents, was 206 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,080 saying that Kendrick Lamar saved TikTok. 207 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,440 He was like, what did he do? Why is everyone saying that? 208 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,240 And I was like, what? So anyways, obviously I looked 209 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,520 into it. It is a joke, of course. 210 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,680 And as many trends that we see online, it is kind of hard to 211 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:48,840 trace like where this started or where it came from. 212 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,720 But essentially after TikTok was reinstated in the US, user 213 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,400 started thanking Kendrick Lamar for saving the app. 214 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160 There's a bunch of posts replacing Donald Trump's name 215 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,640 with Kendrick Lamar on Reddit. People are like, we can't let 216 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,960 Trump get credit for this. Obviously it's kind of like an 217 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:09,800 in joke online, but I think the way that users are responding to 218 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,240 this is even funnier. So someone will post like, oh, 219 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,320 thank you, Kendrick, you saved TikTok, whatever. 220 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,480 They're like how? Because he saved it, it's so 221 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,480 good. It's so funny. 222 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 That's one of my favorite things about TikTok is it takes these 223 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,480 chronically online in jokes that previously were just kind of 224 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,480 like secluded to smaller communities or like closed 225 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,200 communities, like niches, You know, whether it be like Stan 226 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:41,160 Twitter or like a discord channel or a Youtubers, I don't 227 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:45,120 know, fanbase, whatever it is. And it kind of brings it more to 228 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,680 the mainstream and it allows more people to participate in 229 00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:52,680 something like this. And yeah, it's just like, funny. 230 00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,000 Like, this is literally like one of the best parts about the 231 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,640 Internet. So if you see people thinking 232 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,400 Kendrick Lamar, at least today, that's why, because he saved 233 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,160 TikTok. OK, The last story that I wanted 234 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,640 to talk about again, like I said, I'm sorry, it was Slim 235 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,200 Pickens. I forgot to talk about how David 236 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,040 David Dobrik returned back to YouTube after a three-year 237 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,400 hiatus following his cancellation and Jeff Wittex 238 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760 accident. So this happened over the break 239 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,400 while I was off, but David returned with a video 240 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,080 documenting his physical transformation from what he says 241 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480 is his body after he like quote, UN quote, let himself go to 242 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,960 being now really fit. The video also features him 243 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,680 taking a trip around the world with friends, a cameo for Mr. 244 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:44,960 Beast and David's surprising his employees at Dobrik's Pizza with 245 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,520 new Teslas, a very David Dobrik vlog. 246 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,680 The video was really well received. 247 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,400 This is like why I wanted to talk about it. 248 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,800 Like he came back, which I think was kind of surprising to 249 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,560 people. He's obviously not been offline, 250 00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:58,320 right? We've talked about how he has 251 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,320 primarily been posting on Snapchat. 252 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,120 He did his podcast and then he kind of stopped that and then 253 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,400 Snapchat was like his main platform. 254 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,920 But what's interesting is he returned and he returned at a 255 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,560 time when like there was just chaos, chaos, culturally chaos 256 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,640 in the US. So much stuff going on online 257 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,600 that him returning almost got like swept under the rug. 258 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,040 I don't need to go into like why David was run off YouTube. 259 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,480 You know, I've talked about this a million times and I'm sure all 260 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,720 of you guys listening know the whole story, but I would say 261 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,160 that this was a pretty strong return, all things considered. 262 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,640 So Tricia Paytas and Tana Mojo discussed his return on a new 263 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,160 episode of their podcast, Not Loveline, and they called him 264 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,520 out for gallivanting across the world and releasing his vlog 265 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,520 before paying Jeff back for his surgeries and obviously all the 266 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,640 damage that was caused in the excavator accident. 267 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,760 But yeah, like I would say the most kind of negative quote UN 268 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:59,280 quote feedback that I have seen overwhelmingly was just people 269 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,360 joking that like he doesn't have the face that matches a body 270 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,040 that hot basically. And that's like a nice 271 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,360 compliment. And Tana said in this clip too 272 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,960 on Loveline, but she was like, this just proves that like no 273 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,960 one is truly canceled. I mean, rich for Tana to say, I 274 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,000 think David is incredibly nostalgic for so many people. 275 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,960 And I also think his cancellation, there was so much 276 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,040 that happened around it and like we were reporting on it when it 277 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,560 happened. And even for me, like there were 278 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,720 so many, I mean, and this just happens with online 279 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,920 cancellations, but like there's one big allegation that kind of 280 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,400 opens a can of worms, right? And that can of worms, so many 281 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,680 worms pop out and it's like overwhelming that you almost 282 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,400 like forget what happened and like why? 283 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,720 Because there are so many allegations swirling around. 284 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,680 And so the two main things obviously are the insider 285 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,160 article and then Jeff's excavator accident. 286 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,080 And so I think because David faced backlash for so long, 287 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,600 because it started with the article and then obviously 288 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,920 Jeff's excavator accident. And now there's been so much 289 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,600 around that accident, so many allegations that Jeff has made, 290 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,040 There's this lawsuit, like all these things, it's almost too 291 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,640 much that it feels overwhelming for people to like pinpoint like 292 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,000 why he was quote UN quote cancelled. 293 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,840 And therefore, I feel like sometimes that's what makes it 294 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,600 easier for people to just, like, for these creators or 295 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,240 celebrities or whatever to come out unscathed. 296 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,600 I'm sure there's a psychological term for this. 297 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,320 I'm sure that this is like a real thing in psychology. 298 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,400 But like, yeah, when there's too much information, it becomes 299 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,360 overwhelming. There's too much information, 300 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,720 and it like, drowns itself out almost. 301 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,640 So anyways, I guess Dave is back to vlogging. 302 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,960 So it kind of feels like we've been transported back in time. 303 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,040 Anyways, guys, that's it for me to scroll today. 304 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,760 I'm sorry that today was kind of random. 305 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,080 Please rate, review and subscribe if you like this 306 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,080 episode.
