    I've never listened to a full episode of the podcast. What's the story there?

      IIRC at some point a twitter account pops up out of the blue accusing Virgil of grooming them through facetime or something like that with I think some screenshots or other evidence but not 100% conclusive, it gained a bit of traction but then both Virgil and the account itself goes radio silent and now basically the only reason anyone bothers to remember it is either in a "hey, did that ever get resolved?" way or to try and get a cheap dunk on Chapo or Brie Joy the Bad Faith cohost for not having made a full statement on it.

        Huh, that is the least dramatic conclusion I could have imagined. Hope everyone involved is doing better, whether that means healing or becoming better people.

        I sincerely believe he made the allegations himself to get out of doing a pod with Brie.

          I'd be willing to believe it, if only because its so ludicrously overdramatic for an online podcasting thing that it seems like a sitcom plot.

      Virgil, during one of his breaks from podcasting, took a summer job working as a stylist at a Great Clips. Since that establishment provides services to minors, Twitter picked up on it and ran with the allegations of child grooming.
