Timcast IRL #638 Kanye BUYS Parler, Parler Then DOXXES Entire PR List w/Chadwick Moore & Blaire White
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL Episode 638 aired on October 18, 2022, with Tim Pool hosting alongside co-host Ian Crossland and guests Chadwick Moore and Blaire White. The episode opened with Tim reacting to the breaking news that Kanye West was purchasing the social media platform Parler after being banned from Twitter and Instagram. The discussion then pivoted to a major PR disaster for Parler, which had accidentally doxxed its entire VIP contact list by CC'ing instead of BCC'ing hundreds of email addresses of high-profile conservatives including Charlie Kirk, Diamond and Silk, and Trump-adjacent figures. The show covered multiple news stories including reports from Boston Lab about a potentially engineered COVID-19 strain with 80% mortality rate, shifting polls showing Republicans gaining ground amid inflation concerns, and Ulta Beauty facing a boycott over hosting a controversial podcast about girlhood. Chadwick Moore discussed his new book on DEI workplace training, while the panel also addressed John Fetterman's past controversy involving chasing a Black man with a gun, and Biden's new DEI-A executive order on accessibility.
