  Speaker 1: pictures of our dogs quite a bit, whether it's Facebook, Instagram,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, we want to see you guys get

  Speaker 3: a fair amount, right, so they always want to see
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: and learn a little bit more about the doggos.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Well, it's hard not to talk about them when you're
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: sitting here doing a podcast and they fart mid podcast
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: because they're laying right next to her.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: They need a drink of water, let outside or pacing
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: or something. They're very much so in our space, in
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: this space.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, hashtag tiny home living.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You can't get away.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we actually had someone I believe, give us
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a bad review at one point. If you go back
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: checking out our reviews, they're like, oh, you're talking about
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: your dog farting. Just put your dog in another room.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Or yeah, I think they said that we were immature
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: because of it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were immature. Yes, go put your dog in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: another room. Just a little side note, we don't have
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: another room.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I mean they might not have known that
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: we live in a tiny home. Like literally, there is
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: there is nowhere else that we can put them unless
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: we put them outside. But then they're gonna get eaten
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: alive by mosquitos at the current moment.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they'll just wine at the door and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that'll be even worse. But yeah, anyways, moving on from
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: all that, I think we can go into the actual
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: case today.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Ooh, this is exciting. Kay. I know a teend tiny
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: little bit I have.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna preface this with telling everyone what I
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: told you. This is the story of kate Yup and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: she does muck bang videos on YouTube, which.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck is that? Yeah, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: then you showed me and I was like, actually, that's
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: like kind of gross. I don't know if I'm supposed
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: to think that's gross, but I thought it was a
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: little bit gross.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's not my sort of thing either, But well, content creators, influencers,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: social media personalities. They're all like, it's a relatively new
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: term that we have to deal with today, and terms
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: like muck bang is going to be thrown in there too.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: People might not know what that means.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I know, I'm getting to that cam you tits like
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: you keep.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Just saying that word. I'm like, some people might not
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: know what that is.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: No, I'm literally saying right now, there's a lot of
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: words that we don't know because we're in a whole
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: new world of the Internet. Yes, other words like content creator, influencer,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: social media. It's it's all new terminology. Okay, okay, yeah, okay,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: so hold off on the muckbang thing. I just gave
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: a little early access to that word. We're diving into
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the case here. I'm starting off internet before.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I define Okay, Okay, I get it, I get it.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: We're on the same page. I think, are you sure,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Hold back on that wine.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Maybe, Okay, you make it sound like I've literally had
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: like a couple of SIPs, so.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Well you act and like you had a couple bottles.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Anyways, so it's all too common for individuals to be
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: posting on social media, all these apps and everything to
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: try and better their business, you know, and hopes to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: get more likes, more followers, subscribers, all for the long
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: term goal of becoming you know, well established, whether it's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: themselves or their business.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: I should preface I have to also say that it's
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: exhausting to be a content creator, like exhausting, it really is.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And honestly, like us as a podcasters, we are content
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: creators and yeah, it's a lot of work. Yeah, And honestly,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: we do live in a time where you can make
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: a very good income from posting, Like if you post
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: some good content, you garner you know, hundreds of thousands
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: or perhaps even millions of yous you know, boom money
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and sponsorships tend to roll in.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: No, there's like quite a few people that I have
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: aroun that have I mean, I can consist they've stayed
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: consistent and they're putting like unique content out there and
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: now it's like literally their job and stuff, which is
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: really cool.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Well, like someone I turned to quite a bit
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: for this topic, call Me Chris, where she started on TikTok.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Actually a little bit of name dropping here. I was
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: actually kind of friends with call me Chris on TikTok,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: and I was like, you're going to blow up, I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: can tell. And then yeah, of course she blew up.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: And now I'm pretty sure she's going to be like
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: fucking Hollywood the next two three years. But yeah, and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: it happened so fast. So anyways, studies showed that approximately
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: thirty percent of kids in the US want to be
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: a YouTube star when they grow up. Yeah, they want
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to forget about the nine to five you know what,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's a little more alluring to make, you know, big income,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: doing what you want from the comfort of your own home.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Just really quickly. Like that is so true because I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: used to work for a summer camp, right, and I
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: would ask lots of times the kids, like, what do
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: you want to be when you grow up? And so
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: often they said a YouTuber. So often.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a big thing, and.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: It just it blew my mind. It blew my mind.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Well, on February fourteenth of two thousand and five, the
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: world would further be changed because of YouTube. That whole, big,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: hard hitting website launched and gave the opportunity for those
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: stars to be, you know, the star of their own show.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: So Ever since then, we've seen the rise and followed
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: many successful people on the website known as you just
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: said the word YouTubers. And over the years we've seen
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: an evolution of the type of content getting posted to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: the platform as well. We've seen things like sketches and vlogs,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: which were primarily popular in the twenty tens, and as
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: recently it has become more grounded in educational content. Now, how
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the videos, sorry, how to videos and reviews showing exactly
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the type of information you're after. You know, you google
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: how to do this or review for this thing, you
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: do that on YouTube you will find an answer. So
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it's a lot more educational that grounded type content. But
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean YouTube is strictly a search engine now
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: searching for these things. It's not just a teaching tool.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's still an incredible amount of genres available
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: on the platform one of which has become very popular
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in the past few years called muck bang.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, here we go, I need.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, here is where I define muckbang. So, muckbang comes
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: from the Korean word miokbang, which I really hope I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: said that correctly, which combines the Korean word for eating
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: and broadcast. Now, in simple terms, you can define muckbang
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: as an eat cast. This is a podcast, right, muckbang
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: is basically an eat cast. So basically it's a video
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: where the host consumes various quantities of food on camera.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Usually the focus of the camera is on their mouth
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and they tend to have the microphone very close while
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: they pick up the sounds.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Oh that's just not okay.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I knew you would have a problem with this topic.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, well, honestly, the one you did show me,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: can I say? Or no?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: I'll wait, Well, I showed you the first video. I
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: showed you ten seconds of Kate Young's first video. We'll
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: get into her first.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: I'll talk about that again in sc but I was
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: just like kind of a pulse and I don't know
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: if I'm ever in amu to eat that again.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Fair enough, Well, muckbang, Honestly, to me, it seems like
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a form of ASMR, which means autonomous sensory meridian response,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: And these are a type of video that show very
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: satisfying visuals and sounds there akin to that, like you know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: peeling that plastic off a brand new phone screen. Yeah,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: that's popping bubble wrap. But who But some people have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: different things that satisfy them like that, And I think
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I can't say this, I can't speak for other people,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: but I think that muck bangs are a form of ASMR,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is what I can draw the conclusion of.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeah, you're very right. I might have trouble
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: with this with the topic of this podcast.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I do also want to throw this out there as
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a side note too, or it could very well be
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: some sort of kink. Some people very well might have
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: some sort of fetish revolving around food and consuming it,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: So throwing that out there too.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: This is just a whole new world here. Yes, I
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: feel like it's gonna be a whole new world for
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: a lot of people probably now.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Regardless of all this information, though, on April twenty third
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, a new YouTube channel would emerge with
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: its very first video. It was a Muckbang channel with
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: the YouTube name of Kate Yup. I just realized I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: think I might have said young earlier when I was talked.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: About about it. Kate, I feel like you said yep, But.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Okay, Kate yep. Anyways, Kate's first video will be titled
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: quote eleven pounds salmon and then brackets five kilograms of
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: salmon in French World record ASMR. So this would feature
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: a thumbnail image of a woman sitting in front of
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: a pile of raw salmon philets, appearing to eat the filets.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Then she was dipping it in her soya sauce.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And yes, she usually has like a bunch of like
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: dips of sorts like taraiaki sauce, soy sauce and stuff
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: she's dipping it in. But yeah, of course this thumbnail
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: did not disappoint the channel's host. Kate Yupp, who was
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a very small, petite woman, began to devour the entire
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: eleven pounds of raw salmon on camera and while she eats,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: though I do want to point out it is not
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a slow pace. She's not just casually biting. She is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: howing how.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Long is that video? Because yeah, like we said, I
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: only watched like a very short glimpse.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: I think it's about twenty minutes. Holy shit, I think,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: but I'm not. Don't quote me on that.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: So I'm like super obsessed with sushi. I think most
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: people know that. And I occasionally like raw salmon or
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: raw tuna. Yeah, I just like have absolutely no interest
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: in eating any sort of raw salmon anytime soon, anytime soon.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And I only showed you like a ten second clip.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was just like, this is not my
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: cup of tea.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: And that's what it is for the entirety of her video.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And she's not just sitting here like with a knife
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and fork or chopstick, so you guys know she is
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: with her hands just digging in chunk after chunk, stuffing
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: her face.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, I should say, teach their own everyone can
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: have your own interests.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly exactly. I don't judge. Now, Kate is wearing some
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: sort of makeshift mask in these videos. It's kind of
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: like a piece of cloth or a bandana that hides
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: what looks like where above her mouth would be. Okay, okay,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: So the camera is framed such so the majority of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: everything past her upper lip I can't see, but this
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: mask has a cutout for her nose to stick through
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: and a cutout for her eyes. There are clips in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: some of her later videos where you can see like
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the bottom of her eye peek out as she dips
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: down in cameras view sort of thing.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, because that was actually a question I had if
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: in any of the videos you get to see her.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Face, you don't, which added a very large sense of
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: mystery to her videos.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: No kidding, And some people probably do show their face
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: and stuff, right, assuming very much so.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: So Kate seemed to be from somewhere in possibly France
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: regarding the French, right, And she didn't talk in her
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: videos either. Only occasionally she would whisper a couple words,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: speaking just a little bit like this, very very quietly,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: which is again akin to ASMR videos. And you could
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: hear that French accent when she did talk. Okay, Yeah,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: now her video descriptions written in English and French, I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: should say that as well. Either way, it's a mystery
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to anyone who Kate Yup was. She was clearly hiding
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: her identity for one reason or another. And it's not
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: uncommon for people to hide their identity online year right,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not at all yeah, user names and stuff, and it's
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: not weird for that to happen.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: No, no, that doesn't alarm me at all.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so her video did get to see a lot
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of attention. Thousands of views began actually pouring in. Her
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: channel began to grow as she continued to post these
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: muck bang videos where she eats an absurd amount of food.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Her first few videos contained a continued to be raw
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: salmon phillots, then they began to shift into other seafoods
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: like lobsters, crabs, prawns, shrimp, squid, octopus, and the whole time,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: she never showed her face or revealed her identity. She
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: kept herself very private, very concealed. Now, people of course
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: speculated who she was, and the mystery around her identity
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: had people asking a lot of questions, Right, it's like,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: reveal yourself, who are you? You want to see? Right?
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I feel like just that sense of curiosity, right,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: you just need to know almost, especially like you're a
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: big fan of this right.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Now. A lot of this speculation especially began to grow
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: when some pretty significant bruising on her left arm appeared
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: in one way, Oh no, yes, right along her bicet
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: huh now. Viewers also noted that it looked like she
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: may have a cut or abrasion on her lip on
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the left side to go along with it, which begins
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to make Kate's story take a little bit of a
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: dark turn.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: H Oh yeah, Okay, I don't like where this is going.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Where do you think it's going?
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I felt like, maybe is she getting
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: abused or something? Potentially is that what people are thinking?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Potentially, so everyone, of course potentially begins to think the worst,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: is Kate being abused? What's a big question on everyone's mind,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: just like you said, And if that is the case,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: who is it that's leaving those marks? And how did
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: they happen? Was she really eating of her own free will?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Also became a popular question shoot to my mind and
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: not go there at all.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: It did for some people.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: But that could make a lot of sense. Yes, I mean,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: because even when I said that, I was like, how
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: is this person consuming that amount of food? Like are
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: they throwing up afterwards? Or like how is this even happening?
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: It's possible a lot of that sort of stuff. Is
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: it plays into the conspiracy questioning because we have this
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: giant puzzle and we're just trying to fit it all
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: together and make sense of it. So we have this
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: very thin woman eating a crap ton of food. Why
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: how like everything, who is she? We know none of it?
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest problem.
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: I kind of like that it's like kept a secret
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: in a sense, like I don't know that just it
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: adds a lot.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: It adds a whole new world to it.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, new world.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Sorry, I won't do that now. Kate actually explained that
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: these bruises were caused by the sun and the split
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: lip as a cold sort. Now, what's in her defense
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: is actually kind of plausible, and I'll touch on why
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: those are plausible a little bit later on when we
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: get into some of the theories. Okay, this would actually ignite
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: though a long chain of Internet sluice digging into Kate's videos,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: these bruisings, the cut lip, that sort of thing. People
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: were watching her videos with a very very close eye.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: They were going back, they were rewatching, they were studying
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: every frame for clues to see if Kate was okay,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: or if there were any hints on who she was
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: or who potentially could be causing harm to her.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: And a lot of these sheep are so good ye
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: at what they find. It's mind blowing.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: The internet is ruthless, so the more people look through,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the worst it seemed to get. Honestly, the same video
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you can find the bruises in was titled quote this
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: is a long title, so bear with me. Two whole fish,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: whole giant squid, lobster, king crab, salmon and tuna, raw, octopus, scallops, shrimp.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Now the other strange things that were found in that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: video that that was titled mm hmm were these? At
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: four minutes and fifty two seconds into the video, the
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: table seems to unexplicitly move, as if as Kate's hands
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: are up, leading people to believe that Kate is not alone.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: The table was bumped by potentially someone else.
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Oh like the person who's recording her and forcing her
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: to do this or something.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Correct Now further findings and other videos. As people look closer,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: they would find this to be very true. In fact,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it's faint, but through her videos there are some points
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: where a man's voice can be heard whispering to Kate,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: instructing her, instructing her things like come on, swallow it,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: hurry up faster.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, yes, oh my gosh, I really don't
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: It seems like whoever this is there for one reason
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: or another coercing cape to keep eating, and, according to
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: internet sleuths, perhaps against your will.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, because those kind of commands don't necessarily seem
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: like they're in this together.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Right, It also doesn't necessarily mean that it's bad either.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I guess. But I mean, if we were in on
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: something like this, and like I was eating all this
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: nasty food and like you were commanding things like that,
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I don't feel like i'd be like so into that.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: That's true, But also think of it this way. If
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it's say a coach is on the side of a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: swimming pool and someone's swimming laps and trying to get faster,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and the coach is shouting these things at them, is
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that a bad thing? The coach is trying to get
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: them to go right, I guess is it bad?
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: What are the commands again?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Um, come on, swallow it, hurry up faster or I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: believe it was fast. Actually I think I wrote that
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: in correctly.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Fast Okay, I mean the hurry up one, I guess
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: is the worst one. I feel.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some other ones as well. That's just
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: some of the more prominent ones.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Now another thing that was found at eight fifty or sorry,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: five thirty seven. I don't know why I said eight.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Kate begins to tap on the side of the bowl
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: very quickly as the bowl that she's eating from, which
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: some claim is Morse code for things like SOS or
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I need help. There's multiple claims of what it is
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: translated from. Okay, but this one is easily debunked by
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: people who actually know Morse code, though we will touch
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: on that in a moment as well. Also in that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: same video, at seventeen minutes and thirty five seconds, there
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: is texts that pops up on the screen that reads
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this and I quote the meat is so delicious, soft
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and tender. Now, the problem with that is there are
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: certain letters capitalized in the spelling of that sentence. All
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: of them are lowercase except three letters, three letters that
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: say s.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: S really correct really really holy shit. Yes, that seems
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: very alarming.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: It does seem very alarming, and this got people even
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: more riled up.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Holy It's like she's trying to put a hint out
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: there that she needs some help or something.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: If that is a legitimate thing, that she did on purpose.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: That is literally calling for help. SOS is save our souls.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: That's what it stands for. It's an international symbol for help.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, unless it's just like random, but that seems
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: it seems.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: A little particular to be random.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Now, almost a month after that particular video where these
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: things were found, another post by Kate was on August
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: fifteenth of twenty nineteen, titled quote I Am Alive. She
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: addressed the concerns that everyone was having of her and
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: talking about this whole situation they're leaving it. In her comments,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: she addressed it regarding her safety, telling people she's fine.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: In this video, however, she doesn't talk just like the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: rest of them. It's all texts that pops up on
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: the screen. So she does another muckbang in this video,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: as she always does, chowing down on some insane amount
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: of seafood, especially for her frail stature. I might add,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: but in this video the text pop ups on the screen.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: You know, you can see her smile begin to eat
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and the textbox pop up, and what these textboxes read
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: really caught people's eye, especially concerning the last one that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: may have said you know SOS right, So with these
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: certain textboxes, certain capital letters again appeared. Now these textboxes
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: were not in this specific order, but the only capital
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: letters were on these sentences, and they go a little
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: something like this. First one, Hey, I'm alive, my friends,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: you can see to my smile. The next one, everything
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: is okay for me? Next look at me? Are you
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: really thinking I'm forced to eat? The next one prawn?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Just smaller than giant shrimps and easier to eat because
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I can remove the skin. Now, the capital letters in
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: each one of those was the very first letter of
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: each sentence, okay, and the very first words. I'll read
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the first words of each one and just pay attention
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to the first letter. Hey, everything look prompt. The capital
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: letters were H, E, L P, hmmm.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. This is just getting worse and worse.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's extremely suspicious and those like that. People are
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: freaking out and panicking. Yes, they're asking Kate, like are
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: you okay? How can we help you? Like say something?
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, but that's almost like potentially like making it worse
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: or something. Yeah, I think it sounds like though, there's
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: so many people looking into this and like trying to
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: do what they could, but what could they do?
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Well, and the problem is, like you say, it could
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: be making it worse because people are trying to contact her,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: say like, you know, let us know. So there are
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: actual comments if you scroll through her videos, like stop
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: asking about this because you very well could be putting
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: her in a more dangerous situation.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But then also it's very hard to just do
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: nothing too when this person is like it's very seemingly
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: asking for help. It seems like yep.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And now Kate also posts a quote comment on the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: top of one of her videos regarding the apparent Morse
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: code around this time. Now on this this comment, it
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: reads this. Now it reminds you this is not Kate's commenting.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: This is someone else who wrote this. Kate just took
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: this and pinned it to the top okay.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: Of the comment section.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay, so that comment went like this, it's not
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: morse code. That isn't even how morse code works. It
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: is a series of short and long pulses. Even thinking
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: outside of the box, by assuming she is using one
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: finger for long pulses and one finger for short pulses,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: she taps three fingers on the bowl. It is just
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: random tapping. There is no correlation between her tapping and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: Morse code. I couldn't identify a single letter, so that
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Morse code is effectively ruled out, and Kate this to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: the top, trying to rule it out herself as well.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: But unless it's a code, that's it is a code,
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: but it's just something between her and the person that's
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: in the room with her.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Potentially potentially potentially like.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: They have some sort of some code system that they
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: use or something that's true.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: But what would they be trying to communicate then.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah, maybe she did need help or
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: to stop or I don't know.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Who knows. Now much of this could be tied up
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to misinformation, or it could be something like you said,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: an inside piece. It's hard to say. But then after
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: this three videos later, on November tenth of twenty nineteen,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: Kate Yup would upload her final video titled I Lose
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: my tooth during this.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Meal, oh my gosh.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: And having a textbox within this video saying this I quote,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: oh my god, I can die in peace. After this
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: bite before she disappeared, she would say that no face reveal,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: no assurance that she is okay, nothing, just stopped uploading.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: And how consistently were these videos being uploaded and such
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: a four about once a month.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, and that was her last one was in
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: Hmm, so not even that long ago, really not really?
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, in that video that she posted where she
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: claims to have lose a tooth, Kate does in fact
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: lose two teeth while eating. In that video.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: What is she eating?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: She's eating seafood, is normal, but she pulls out a
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: tooth and she shows it to the camera and continues
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: to eat, and then later it pulls out another.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: Oh oh my gosh. Yeah, oh that's too much.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: And this whole tooth loss thing caused a lot of
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: affirmation that something was in fact wrong. But the question
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: is what is wrong?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because like any seafood, is that going to make
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: you lose a tooth?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: It's hard. Who knows? Would getting punched in the face
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: make you lose a tooth? Yes, who knows? The problem
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: is we don't know. Kate has never been identified, she
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: has never been heard from since. It's ridiculous. However, there
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: are some theories, sorry, surrounding the whole mystery with Kate.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: I should say this, who she was, what happened?
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: There are theories good, well, gosh, because this is like,
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: I want to know what the heck's going on here?
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Well, as far as we know, that is the end
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: of Kate's story, but these theories might fill in some
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: of the blanks. The most popular theory online is that
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Kate had been kidnapped and was used in some sort
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of human trafficking situation. Okay, whoever the person is who
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: is whispering to her behind the camera is perhaps holding
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: her captive, perhaps starving her and abusing her, then letting
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: her feast and forcing her to binge eat all this
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: food to make these sick videos to post online.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: That sounds awful.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: The motive for this, however, is a little unclear. This
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: theory would suggest that if Kate is in fact kidnapped,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: she would be issued the ability to edit her own videos,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: her own kidnapped videos. Otherwise, how would the subliminal message
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: of SOS and help be integrated into the videos?
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Oh? Okay, like you're meaning, she wouldn't have been able
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: to edit those her own videos.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: Well, the theory says she is, Oh she is, because
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: the captors sure aren't going to put those messages in
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: the videos, right, So if she is kidnapped and being
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: forced to do this on camera. She would have to
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: have the ability to edit her.
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Own videos, right, which doesn't really.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Does logical at all.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: It's not logical what the kidnappers would be the ones
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: most likely putting the video out there exactly.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: And if that were the case, wouldn't it make a
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: lot more sense to like one frame, do like a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: big write up on help me. My name is so one,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: so I'm being held by this guy whatever. The captors
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: watching it won't see a single frame, but Internet sleuths
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: who are watching it frame by frame certainly would. It
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: would make a lot more sense to do something like
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: that than a random SOS and say, no, I'm fine,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: disregard that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: But maybe they didn't. They wouldn't know to think to
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: just do a little message like that on a frame.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, I would know.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: That's true, but regardless, it certainly doesn't make sense to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: let the kidnap e edit the videos.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: No, it does not at all. Actually, dang, because that
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: one makes a lot of sense.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sorry, I don't know where I'm at on
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: my notes now. I just went off on a ramble. Okay, yeah, sorry,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: got it. There is a name actually that some people
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: think they may have that is linked up to Kate yep.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, linked up to Kate yep Oh.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: That name is Carly Goose. Now. Carly is a Californian
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: teen who went missing in two thousand and eight. She
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: was sixteen years old when she went missing, and she
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: hasn't been seen or heard from since. The case has
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: unfortunately gone cold since many people think that Carly Goose
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: could be Kate yup.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Really and they're just thinking this from like the nose
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: down that they look similar pretty much.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: It's a similar smile, similar stature, potential age. But since
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: they know since Kate's never shown her face, they don't
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: have much to go on. But they're thinking, Okay, if
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Kate is a missing person, a kidnapped individual, we should
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: look at missing persons reports, right, this person is missing
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: looks fairly similar, could it be?
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: And sorry, where did you say they were missing from California?
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Which doesn't really line up so much with the idea
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: of Kate being from France exactly. Yeah, this is actually
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a good I point for me to say this. I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: didn't know where I'm going to put this information, so
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: here it is. There are some small pieces of information
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: that actually tie Kate to France a little more so,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: being there is a grill in one shot of her videos,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: and that grill has been identified to be a French
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: grill from France, as well as a Coca Cola bottle
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: that was written in French. So there's there's a few
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: little pieces that have been brought forward to identify that
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: her videos are in.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Fact from France and not Quebec.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Correct, So, a missing team from California being the person
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: in France is a bit of a stretch.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: It does seem like a bit of a stretch. That
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: so is it Quebec That would seem like quite as
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: much of a stretch.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Correct. Now, Unfortunately, it's pretty much proven that these two
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: aren't going to be the same individual. If you look
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: at some of the distinguished, distinguished distinguishing features there we
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: go on Kate versus is Carly, they don't quite line up,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: things like freckles and moles. There's two particular freckles on
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Kate's neck that Carly does not have.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, because I mean, oh, that is a it
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: is a good theory. But it's also if this person
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: was from France, I would very much think so but
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: the fact that they're like way all across the world
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: kind of in California right now.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: There is another theory that popped up on Reddit from
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the username of Ashmel fifteen regarding another individual that could
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: be Kate, and this one's a little more believable. Now.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: They say that Kate is a European female UFC fighter
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: by the name of I'm going to butcher her name
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: because it's a really hard name to say, but Joanna Zidyechek,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: I believe is how you say her last name. Again,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: this theory points to similar appearances between the two, except
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: this time Johanna is not a kidnapping victim. She is
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: a fighter, which would explain you know why she has
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: bruises and cuts on her body? Okay, yeah, professional fighter,
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: you know you're going to take punches. That's part of
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: the game exactly. So cut and lip in fact also
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: matched with one that Johanna had on her lip, so
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the Kate and Johanna cut line up. This would also
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: explain why Kate had managed to stay so thin after
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: eating so much eleven pounds of salmon in her first video,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: not gaming gaining an ounce that would explain it because
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: to be a UFC fighter, you would have an extreme
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: workout routine to burn all these calories or a reason
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: to actually eat that much to specifically bulk up in
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: your diet.
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, she's a professional athlete. Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: And it would also give a reason for her to
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: hide her identity online because she doesn't want to be
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: tied up with her personality in the UFC ring.
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: Huh? And where is this person living and stuff?
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not too sure where exactly she's from, but she
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: is from over in Europe somewhere. Oh, I didn't look
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: up her exactly where she lives.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Wow. Hmmm, So that one really seems good.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: It is pretty pretty tight, except again the marks on
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: her body.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Oh shit.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Also, more specifically, we're not so sure with the previous one,
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: but with Johanna, we do know for sure. She does
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: not have a small tattoo on her wrist that kate
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yup actually does have. Kate Yup in her early videos
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: shows a tattoo about the side of a quarter on
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: her left wrist, which she later covers up with a wristband.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: But yeah, okay, in this UFC fighter sorry what was
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: her name, Johanna does not have this.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: She does not have that tattoo nor the same freckles
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: or marks that Kate Yup has.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, well that's out then.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and unfortunately, no one has ever been able to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: find a suspected individual with the same tattoo as Kate.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: But there is another person out there, a YouTuber who
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: did find a very convincing lead. The YouTuber is by
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: the name of Tory Kinlove did some reverse Google search
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: sor reverse Google image searching theory and found a Facebook
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: photo tagging a woman by the name of Kate Yup
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: located in France. She compared the photo of the girl
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: to Kate Yup from her YouTube videos resemblance and all
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: that was extremely convincing. In fact, the two were very
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: wearing very similar rings on the same fingers as well.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, the photo that she found on Facebook was taken
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: at a distance which made it very hard to see
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: things like freckles and moles, so they could not be
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: identified to be confirming, and even more so unfortunate, the
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: photo has since been removed by the individual who posted
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: it and tagged Kate.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, that seems kind of fishy.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: That is extremely fishy. So whether this is her or not,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the main question is was Kate kidnapped? Was she a
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: victim of some sort of violence or some sort of scenario,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: or is there something else at play?
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: Huh and literally in twenty nineteen, just cold turkey, like
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: nothing else from this person norrecked. Okay?
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Correct? Now, here are some theories that may explain something
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: in a little bit of a different light rather than
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: she's kidnapped or something like that. Right, So, primarily Kate
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Yup has an eating disorder, an eating disorder that we
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: all are all very familiar with. Actually bolimia. Now, as
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: described by a website Maoclinic dot organ that I found,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: they put it together very well in a description here,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: people with bolimia may secretly binge, eating large amounts of
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: food with a loss of control over their eating, and
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: in an unhealthy the way.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: That sounds a lot like what Kate Yup could have
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: very potentially have been doing.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I haven't said that. I was like, what
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: are they doing with all this food?
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Was she throwing it up? Now? Furthermore, bolina is of
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: course very hard on the body and can cause things
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: like very easily bruising, oh okay, and can cause damage
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: to an individual's teeth and gums, potentially explaining why she
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: so easily lost her tooth while eating.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Huh okay, I didn't know that part.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: So this YouTube channel could have very well have been
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: Kate's outlet to binge eat, and of course she would
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: have covered up her face. Many people who suffer from
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: an eating disorder like this often view themselves in a
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: very negative way. Yeah, it's really sad, and they wouldn't
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: want to associate themselves with this binge eating act. It
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. But what about the SOS message?
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: What about the help message? What about the man whispering
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: in the background?
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Because I also feel like if she was hiding this,
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: would she have had someone present? Right? Like, would someone
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: have been helping or doing this with her?
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that I just don't feel like that's right.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: Well, this kind of leads to a little bit of
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: another theory about it being a bit of a setup.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: As her channel grew, she began eating more, you know,
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: specifically for the views and specifically for the subscribers.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and making money potentially and such.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Right yep, So a boyfriend or someone very well could
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: have been there to help her and keep her eating
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: to maintain these views, coercing her to keep going, very
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: much so like a coach on the edge of a
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: boxing ring or a swimming pool, helping the person continue
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: to go. Now, especially even if you do include the
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: eating disorder within this, it makes a lot of it.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I don't think that someone who views this eating in
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: a negative light, who just does it once in a
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: while because they need to, is going to want to
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: do it more for the views when they want to,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: especially when there's such negative connotations attached to it. Now,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: As for the messages, it could have been something that
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: got out of hand again playing with views and subscribers.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: People watching develop theories and continue to watch more and more.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: So Kate could have simply gave them something to watch
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: for and theorize about, and then when things got a
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: little too out of control, whether it was something like
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: an eating disorder or potentially fan theories getting far beyond
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: anything she could comprehend, was done with it. Yeah, she
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: could have simply just walked away and dissociated herself from
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: this YouTube channel altogether.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: Wow huh, this is just like mind blowing though, But
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: it is. I also just feel that theory too. It
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: the but the coach or whatever, and like if this
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: person did kind of suffer from an eating disorder, like
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: I don't love that, oh no at all. Like is
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: that someone that literally is like a loved one, you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Like that just doesn't make sense.
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: In all honesty. I don't think there's a single thing
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: about this case, any scenario. I don't love a kidnapping victim.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: I don't love I guess actually, if it is the
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: UFC fighter who's just like, yeah, I'm gonna hide my
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: identity and I'll just do it, what if I want?
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: That would seem terrible? Does it?
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: No, it doesn't, but it's it's proven to not be
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: her right. But if it is an eating disorder, I
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: don't love that this individual is going through that. If
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: it is someone who's coercing them to do it, I
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: don't love that. If it is someone who's fishing for
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: views and subscribers and faking this, I don't love that. Yeah,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: of course, all this, unfortunately is just speculation though, like
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: everything surrounding this is pure speculation. Was Kate ever in danger?
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Was it from another person or herself that she was
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: in danger from? Was it all in act? Was it
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: a kink between two people to consenting adults? Yeah, just
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: got wrapped up in the Internet. I don't know. We
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: honestly probably won't ever know. The only way we'll ever
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: solve this is if another video is posted on Kate's channel.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: And I mean honestly too, like what happens if she
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: did die or something right? But it was even like
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: just a car accident or something right, and that's why
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: the video stopped too.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Yep, we most likely will never know as off right
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: now though Kate's channel has one point three nine million
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: subscribers and only twenty nine videos.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: The thirtieth video where her teeth actually fallout, has since
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: been removed by YouTube for violating guidelines.
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: Oh has it okay?
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Which I'm assuming it's the teeth falling out that they
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: were not cool with?
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because so, because I'm very intrigued to know
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: what that she was eating at that point, I was
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: almost gonna go look, even though it's like I don't
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: know if I want to.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I haven't found the exact video, like
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: the entire video myself, but I'm sure you could find
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: the whole thing out there. I've seen clips, but not
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. But you can definitely go take a
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: look and see what she was eating.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: For sure, and so and she was really only had
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: those injuries in one video, wasn't it?
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Or was there other The bruising on the arm was
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: in one particular video, but there she's wearing longer sleeve
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: shirts and.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Other videos too, you wouldn't even know.
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: Which leads to more speculation, right, she covering things up.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Exactly, huh. But I do think that if that was
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: some sort of like uh like assault or whatever, that
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: they would probably have covered that up as well. Yeah,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: in that video.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Now the people have gone down like major major internet
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: sleuthing over this case as far as trying to find
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: reflections and the bowls and the the oh my god, individuals.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: It's so amazing what they do.

  Speaker 3: Yeah, everything had it seems so much makes sense but
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: then it's like, well.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: The sum of this is there's an individual who was
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: eating a crap ton of food on YouTube, got famous
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: for it, and they stopped posting.
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: And then seemed to disappear.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: That is all we know. We know nothing else. Everything
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: else has been completely fabricated by the Internet.
• 48:44

  Speaker 3: into this.
