Chaos Erupts at VidCon: Talk Tuah Podcast Recording Descends into Mayhem
A live recording of the popular Talk Tuah podcast at VidCon took an unexpected turn, descending into chaos and controversy. The session, held at Spotify’s Podcast Theater, featured hosts Haliey Welch and Chelsea Bradford, along with guest Whitney Cummings, who surprisingly took on a hosting role. The packed crowd, initially enthusiastic and chanting “Hawk Tuah,” quickly turned sour as Cummings repeatedly used expletives to quiet them down.
The mood in the room continued to deteriorate, with dozens of attendees leaving the recording less than 20 minutes into the session. In a bizarre moment, Cummings encouraged a group of departing attendees, mostly young men, to “not become school shooters.” The comment left many in the audience stunned and further added to the tense atmosphere.
When questioned about her involvement in a cryptocurrency launch that cost investors millions and sparked a lawsuit, Welch deflected the inquiry, saying, “Does this look like the face of a girl who could talk to you about crypto?” She went on to suggest that if a man had been involved in a similar scandal, the outcome would have been different, and he “probably would have been promoted.” Welch’s remarks highlight the ongoing issues of gender bias and uneven accountability in the tech and finance industries.
The dramatic events at the Talk Tuah podcast recording serve as a reminder that even in a controlled environment, things can quickly go awry. The incident has sparked a wider conversation about the intersection of technology, finance, and social responsibility, leaving many to ponder the implications of Welch’s comments and the chaotic events that unfolded at VidCon. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is essential to examine the cultural and social dynamics that shape our understanding of these complex issues.
