Speaker 4: this and the world was talking about it. Asteroid twenty
Speaker 4: twenty four why Are four is the name of it.

Speaker 4: and the initial assessment from NASA's there's a three percent
Speaker 4: chance that it impacts Earth.
Speaker 2: In twenty thirty two, they had more.
Speaker 4: Analysis from the James Webb Telescope and all that, and
Speaker 4: they dip down. Well, here's yesterday's update. There's still a
Speaker 4: two percent chance that why Are four the asteroid could
Speaker 4: collide with the Moon in twenty thirty two.
Speaker 2: That'd be bad, but the Moon is not the Earth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but the Moon controls high and everything.
Speaker 6: There would be massive waves smashing all. I mean that
Speaker 6: whole thing about California going underwater.

Speaker 4: months here, eight times twelve, like there's less than one
Speaker 4: hundred months to get on this. And they said they're

Speaker 2: Hell, yes, I'm in well, Matt damon, just hell, I'll

Speaker 2: hear that? Yeah? I don't know what did that one?

Speaker 4: it feels like it.
Speaker 2: The premise for every movie sounds so stupid. Yeah. That
Speaker 2: one seems good though, because it's got run gospl again. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Okay, So there's a story we need to get to.
Speaker 4: There's a girl who is a college freshman at Old Miss.
Speaker 4: Her name is Mary Kay Cornett. Sounds like she a
Speaker 4: deal jewelry. She is been the victim of an online
Speaker 4: rumor that she hooked up with her boyfriend's dad. This
Speaker 4: spread on a I have I had not heard of
Speaker 4: until I read this story called yik yak.
Speaker 2: This is the worst sounding thing in existence.
Speaker 5: Song, isn't it? Yakity yac okay yakady yak yaka yik yak.
Speaker 2: What's it like? Is it like TikTok or what? Anonymous
Speaker 2: message based app?
Speaker 9: Oh?
Speaker 2: That's popular among college students.
Speaker 6: So you can just go online and make up stuff
Speaker 6: about people, and people read it cool and it's not
Speaker 6: attributed to anything, so it.
Speaker 4: Spreads, It gets to Twitter, starts going around. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: play you two clips. You're gonna hear the clip in
Speaker 4: question in the second clip, because I want you to
Speaker 4: hear her first. She's doing an interview with NBC. This
Speaker 4: is what has happened to her.
Speaker 8: In her first TV interview, Old Miss freshman Mary Kate
Speaker 8: Cornett told me how she became famous on the internet
Speaker 8: in February, and online rumor went viral claiming an Old
Speaker 8: Miss sorority sister slept with her boyfriend's father, then somewhat
Speaker 8: attached Cornett's name and photo to it.
Speaker 2: Do you know why the room were started?
Speaker 7: No clue. Later that night, around seven pm, I was
Speaker 7: number one trending in the United States. I felt so
Speaker 7: helpless because so many people were hating on me for
Speaker 7: something that I had no idea anything about.
Speaker 2: Okay, so she does know.
Speaker 5: Also, why are they hating on her so much? It's
Speaker 5: her life. How are they hurting her in any way?
Speaker 5: And how hot was the dad?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 2: My god, we've changed her and we've changed her.
Speaker 6: We turned you out, we flipped her the Uh let
Speaker 6: me weigh in on how hot the dad was. When
Speaker 6: I saw it, and we, in fact, my whole family
Speaker 6: had a discussion about this, we were like, what, Yeah,
Speaker 6: because the dad, I think he's some sort of like
Speaker 6: investment banker guy or something.
Speaker 2: I never saw a picture of him.
Speaker 6: Uh, and so, and he's I believe he lives in Houston, right,
Speaker 6: I think I think the boyfriend's family is from Houston.
Speaker 6: And so when we saw the dad, we were like, uh,
Speaker 6: all right, I mean he just looks like some you know,
Speaker 6: kind of guy in his fifties that hadn't really taken that.
Speaker 6: I mean, he's a big guy, but he hadn't really
Speaker 6: taken that great care of himself.
Speaker 2: He's just a dude.
Speaker 6: And it was like they had and the things that
Speaker 6: we were reading at the time, they had all these
Speaker 6: details about the encounter, and I mean it was it
Speaker 6: was very, very sordid, and there was stuff about his wife,
Speaker 6: and I mean it was just it was just this big, joke,
Speaker 6: detailed mess of lurid gossip.
Speaker 2: It has not been taken down either.
Speaker 6: Do you see a picture of the dad there, Yeah,
Speaker 6: And I think I can't remember. I thought he was
Speaker 6: like an investment banker, so I can't remember what it
Speaker 6: said he was, but I believe that said that family
Speaker 6: was from Houston.
Speaker 4: He's just a character getting thrown into this because he's
Speaker 4: the boyfriend's dad.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Okay, so here's the second part of this coup.
Speaker 4: You're gonna hear in the middle of this the Paton
Speaker 4: McAfee show on ESPN discussing this on February twenty sixth.
Speaker 2: But that's phone number was also shared online.
Speaker 8: She was overwhelmed with harassing texts and voicemails.
Speaker 7: I was having thousands of calls come through, thousands of
Speaker 7: texts coming through, calling me a whore, calling me a slut,
Speaker 7: telling me I deserve to die.
Speaker 8: Cornett says she could barely leave her dorm room, had
Speaker 8: to switch to online classes.
Speaker 9: Some home miss frabro yep, sir kay hey, k d girlfriend.
Speaker 9: This is what is being reported by everybody on the
Speaker 9: internet that had sex with son and his girlfriend.
Speaker 2: Anyone apologized to you.
Speaker 7: No, I want these famous people to know that I
Speaker 7: was not famous before this. I'm not a public figure
Speaker 7: that you can go talk about on your show to
Speaker 7: get more views. Nobody knows who I am, or nobody
Speaker 7: didn't know who I was. But them pressing this and
Speaker 7: pushing it farther made my situation so much worse.
Speaker 2: And also even do that, why would they mention something
Speaker 2: that is not Because.
Speaker 4: McAfee wills off and he sees something on the internet
Speaker 4: and he says it talking about.
Speaker 6: And that's that's his you know, a big part of
Speaker 6: his audience too, is they want that sort of thing,
Speaker 6: and it's kind of like meathead stuff. Think about what
Speaker 6: he said, everyone on the internet's reporting it. What so
Speaker 6: everyone's a reporter, pat like he works for an actual
Speaker 6: reputable media entity, ESPN, ABC, Disney is a massive entity
Speaker 6: that has to account for the things that they put
Speaker 6: on their airwaves. And he went on the air and
Speaker 6: he said everyone's on the internet at reporting it.
Speaker 4: What they talked about it on his show for under
Speaker 4: two minutes. It's very strange because NFL insider Adam Schefter
Speaker 4: was the guest and he's sitting right beside him, and
Speaker 4: Schefter's got the look of why are you wasting time
Speaker 4: with this? But he's just doing a show.
Speaker 2: It isn't a j Hawk sitting there. Can I hear
Speaker 2: that again? Hawk might be over zoom. I had to
Speaker 2: switch to online classes. Some ole miss frappro Ye say hey, KD.
Speaker 4: Girlfriend, KD kdie Kappa Delta.
Speaker 9: This is what is being reported by everybody on the
Speaker 9: internet that had sex with Son's girlfriend come.
Speaker 6: Up and then right after he goes, Now, where do
Speaker 6: you think Russ Wilson's going to end up?
Speaker 2: Adam? I don't understand what the point of even mentioning
Speaker 2: it is.
Speaker 5: That's what's frustrating to me. Why bully someone that is
Speaker 5: doing something that has no effect on you in your
Speaker 5: life whatsoever? What are you doing?
Speaker 2: Leave her alone?
Speaker 6: So here here's what I would say about and please understand,
Speaker 6: I'm not defending at McFee. I'm not a fan, But
Speaker 6: what I would say is that when that thing dropped,
Speaker 6: I was reading it like it was news because of
Speaker 6: everywhere that I saw it like the idea of everyone
Speaker 6: on the internet is reporting it. What happened was my
Speaker 6: daughter walked in and said, did you see this story?
Speaker 6: And I was like, I haven't heard of this, So
Speaker 6: I googled it. It was the number one thing that
Speaker 6: was trending. Like if you just started to punch in
Speaker 6: her name, it it populated.
Speaker 2: I guess I missed it.
Speaker 6: There was stories that there were stories like everywhere about it.
Speaker 6: But unless like and I talked about this all the
Speaker 6: time with my parents, for example, unless you take the
Speaker 6: time to go look at like all that is gone,
Speaker 6: you know what the original source is. Everything is just
Speaker 6: repurposing everything and you don't know what's real or not anymore.
Speaker 2: And he didn't say, he didn't say names, I don't use,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Basically, he's basically saying, this is something I'm reading on
Speaker 1: the internet, which is true. Yeah, so, but I don't
Speaker 1: understand the point of why he would even do that.
Speaker 1: I mean it because it's a salacious story.
Speaker 2: His show is like, you.
Speaker 4: Know, yeah, we're sports sports, sports, and then we're killing
Speaker 4: time here and there, and when they're killing time.
Speaker 1: Here's a crazy story going viral. But he didn't even
Speaker 1: dig into it. It's almost like he once he started
Speaker 1: talking about he realized you shouldn't have said that or something.
Speaker 4: So, you know, they this NBC interview that I'm that,
Speaker 4: I'm that I played audio up for you guys. I
Speaker 4: think is her striking back a little bit, And that's
Speaker 4: definitely coached up by the lawyer because they can. I
Speaker 4: don't think they can win this because because he did
Speaker 4: not mention her name. You know, you go to a
Speaker 4: court is it's some college frat bro hooking up with
Speaker 4: the katie. I think that's tough a little awful for
Speaker 4: her though, messed up, and I think this happens a
Speaker 4: lot more than just this.
Speaker 2: But it's good.
Speaker 1: Good for her for standing up herself because even if
Speaker 1: she doesn't win, she changes the narrative and everyone's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that is right that everyone just ran
Speaker 1: with that it's not true.
Speaker 2: Very crazy story. She should sue yikiak.
Speaker 4: You know, it happens on his show, but then you know,
Speaker 4: his show gets posted and spread and people see it
Speaker 4: after the fact and it just kind of lives. Barstool
Speaker 4: picks it up and then here we go, you know,
Speaker 4: so you know, it's a it's a very uh. I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 2: The story is not going away, I would imagine. I'll
Speaker 2: say that, And.
Speaker 4: There is the weekday update here thirty three, five Thursday.
Speaker 2: Yep, thank you, Kevin.
Speaker 1: Coming up next in the Big Finish, KT has a
Speaker 1: Texas Rangers Walk up music game.
Speaker 2: We're gonna play it and we'll prove it next
