We Need to Talk About Cathy... and New Guy

We wanted to start off 2020 with a bang, so... Matt somehow got reported to the British police because of something that happened on Twitter. And THAT is why we need to talk about the state of the Boomer on social media. In this special 90-minute kickoff, Twitter saga starts with a lighthearted quip, weaves in some other YouTubers like Whang!, JohnSwan and our very own Zalgaloo, and ends with Kevin having to fly to London to post bail. (Ok, that part didn't happen.) Then Kevin talks about the 'New Guy' comic that started as a tweet from animator Oney and turned into 2020's first real meme. Kevin explores what's *really* happening in those four frames and what it shows us about a host of different worldviews. And thanks again for supporting The Create Unknown. You really, really do make it happen. Without you all, we'd be rotting in the Tower of London right now. ------------------ THE CREATE UNKNOWN ------------------ ⭐️ Join us on Patreon ( https://patreon.com/thecreateunknown ) 📺 Watch this episode on YouTube ( https://youtube.com/thecreateunknown ) ❤️ Rate & Review this episode on Podchaser ( https://www.podchaser.com/thecreateunknown ) 🎥 CREDITS: ---------- * Hosts: Kevin Lieber ( https://www.podchaser.com/creators/kevin-lieber-107ZzlONjU ) and Matt Tabor ( https://www.podchaser.com/creators/matthew-tabor-107ZzmWVL1 ) * Edited by Zalgaloo ( https://www.podchaser.com/creators/zalgaloo-107a4Yqcfl ) * Theme by Mega Drive ( http://megadrivemusic.com/ ) * Special Thanks: Mo Lewit ( https://www.instagram.com/mo_the_makeup_madame/ ) and Paula Lieber ( https://www.etsy.com/shop/Craftality ) * "The Create Unknown" is produced by Unknown Media 💬 CONNECT WITH US: ------------------ * Chat with us on Discord ( https://discord.gg/uzKW6RD ) * Follow us on Twitter ( https://twitter.com/createunknown ) * Follow us on Instagram ( http://instagram.com/thecreateunknown ) * Follow us on Facebook ( http://facebook.com/thecreateunknown ) * Follow us on Podchaser ( https://www.podchaser.com/thecreateunknown ) * View our website ( https://thecreateunknown.com/ ) Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
