Baby oil. No Diddy. Ok now that we've got that out of the way... Everything's Canceled podcast is back! Your hosts Herman and Lorena are back to discuss the first 2 weeks of P Diddy's criminal trial. Diddy has been in jail in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn awaiting trial since September of 2024, the same jail in which Jeffrey Epstein "committed suicide" in 2019. No cameras are allowed in the Manhattan courtroom but we have been sifting through a constant slew of trial related information flowing from countless media outlets, courtroom reporters, and courtroom sketches. We attempt to make sense of the prosecution strategy and potential for sentencing. We discuss the relationship with Diddy's family, his sons Justin and King Combs, and twin daughters "The Combs Twins", who have been seen attending the trial in support, and speculate regarding their involvement in Diddy's personal life, criminal activity, the raid on his Miami mansion and more. We discuss some of the lawyers involved in Diddy's defense and their relationship to other famous cases/defendants and Herman makes an attempt to connect theirs and Diddy's relationship to power in the entertainment industry as star-makers and/or star-breakers. A very pregnant Cassie Ventura testified for most of the first week of the trial. We discuss some of the contents of her testimony and defense strategies used in her cross-examination. We also cover the testimony of Dawn Richard, formerly of singing group Danity Kane, and Kerry Morgan, Cassie's friend, who both corroborate Cassie's claims of violent encounters with Diddy, Daniel Philip and Sharay Hayes, known as "The Punisher", both former male sex-workers who testified to taking place in "freak offs", and the testimony of Israel Flores, a former security guard at the InterContinental Hotel who testified as a witness to the events of March 5, 2016, the day of the leaked security video showing Diddy being violent with Cassie. We finish with a discussion about the discourse regarding the leaked video and how that reflects on who carries the burden of proof in sexual assault and violence scenarios. Herman makes the case that Puff Daddy is a prime example of Herman's Rule #3 of Cancel Culture: his music was never any good in the first place, so we don't lose much by "canceling" him. We also discuss the New York Times Magazine article "I knew Diddy for years. What I now remember haunts me." by former Vibe magazine editor Danyel Smith. We have more coming soon! Stay tuned to Everything's Canceled podcast!

1984: Nev Schulman is born. Age 18: Nev gets a tramp stamp. 2025: Everything's Canceled podcast returns with a new episode "Nev Schulman and Catfish: The TV Show"! Your hosts Lorena and Herman are back to discuss the life and times of television host and filmmaker Yaniv "Nev" Schulman and answer the question: "Is Catfish canceled?" "Catfish" entered the cultural lexicon following the release of the hit documentary in 2010. Made by brother Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, the film follows the story of Nev's online relationship with a fictional "catfish" whom he discovers is a deception created by an older woman posing online as her own daughter. Nev went on to host 8 seasons of a television series based on the film "Catfish: The TV Show" (2012) on MTV. In 2004 Nev attended Sarah Lawrence college, where he studied dance and photography and was expelled in 2006 following a violent incident at the school's "Sleaze Ball" dance, at which Schulman was accused of taking photos of LGBTQ couples without permission. In his 2014 book In Real Life: Love, Lies & Identity in the Digital Age Nev describes the incident as, "No big deal" saying, "I punched the person and ran off". The victim described the incident differently saying, "I confronted him, and asked him to stop taking pictures... I tapped his shoulder and he turned and hit me out of nowhere, I went down and he held me in a head lock and repeatedly punched me while I tried to get free." After a student letter-writing campaign the university chose to expel Schulman despite his alumnus mother's influence at the college. A former administrator commented on Nev's legacy at the school saying, “All I can say on the record, as the former Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, is that he was a condescending, entitled, reprehensible tool.” After being expelled from college for a violent incident, Nev went to work at an anti domestic violence non-profit in New York run by his mother. Lorena covers Nev's own online presence, including occasions on which he has drawn criticism on Twitter for his reaction to the Ray Rice domestic violence incident and comments regarding the hashtag #blackgirlsrock. We discuss the circumstances of the romance between Nev and future wife/baby-mama Laura, universally reviled as the worst temporary co-host in a revolving series of temporary co-hosts on Catfish: The TV show. Sometime after Nev is canceled by black twitter, Miss Teen USA 2010 and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kameran "Kamie" Crawford joined Catfish as permanent co-host. However, recent events on social media have revealed that Kamie has since left the show. We discuss some ideological differences that may have created a rift between Nev and Kamie and attempt to answer the question: "Is Catfish canceled?". All this and more on this latest installment of Everything's Canceled podcast!

We've got more to say about the Garth Brooks sexual assault allegations and resulting retaliatory lawsuit saga, so your hosts Lorena and Herman are back with another Garth-pisode of Everything's Canceled Podcast. We start with a few minor corrections and updates regarding Garth background info from our previous episode: Can you stream Garth Brooks' music and where? Garth's state of residence and details regarding Garth: the college years. Then we dig in to all of the most commonly repeated arguments from Garth fans defending Garth... Do they stand up to scrutiny? Why are Garth fans adamant the name of the accuser should be made public? Is Garth Brooks' cheating a known secret to fans? We revisit Lorena's theory Garth and Trisha Yearwood may be in a swinging marriage and consider the 2023 country music award show appearance at which Dolly Parton jokes "G.O.A.T." may stand for "Garth Organizing A Threesome" for them and her. Fans familiar with Garth's schedule have raised doubts, claiming he could not have spent 5 full days with the victim, as described in the lawsuit, because he was scheduled to play concerts and make appearances in other places within that time. Are these discrepancies significant enough to cast doubt on the accusers account of events? We also return to the discussion regarding the highly controversial "upside-down, dangling from the ankles" sex position described in the lawsuit and prove unequivocally that it is indeed possible, complete with receipts and pornographic evidence. And finally... Where are the bodies Garth?! We address the popular online rumor: Is Garth Brooks a serial killer? All this and more on this exciting episode of Everything's Canceled Podcast!
