Part 2/14:
The show begins with an examination of Dr. Disrespect’s return to YouTube after admitting to inappropriate messaging with minors.

Dr. Disrespect ranks as the second-most-watched U.S. streamer, right behind Show Speed. The hosts debate whether such resilience is a reflection of dumbed-down content consumption, the massive size of the internet audience, or systemic desensitization.
