Next Episode: Bonus: Trend Lightly 3/23 After Show

Ooooh, this is another long one. Sorry, things just keep happening.
Accusations of sexual assault against Vlog Squad member Dom Zeglaitis broke this week, and there's a lot to it. Who is David Dobrik? What's the Vlog Squad? How did one of the most popular YouTube creators in history wind up at the center of a sexual assault scandal and what's going to happen to him, his friends, his new app Dispo, and variety of other business ventures.
[Edited at 11:29PST: We wrapped recording at 7:58 PM on 3/22 and this episode was accidentally published early. Since we recorded, there have been several updates, including a more in-depth updated apology from David, and prior to that, while we were recording, updates from members of his crew. We will include those links after the regular show links below and talking about the updates live on the Stereo App (not spon) at 12pm PST. Please check below for info on how to find us there.
