How's it going, Hannah? It's okay. I just got off work as a brista.

As a brista. Now I'm ready to jump into the swing of this thing.

Hannah did literally streetcar here, get in the door, take off her jacket, and sat down, and now we are recording.

Oh, but that's just a podcaster's life for you. That's just

the podcast life. Maya, how are you? Me? Oh, I'm good. I just did a driving lesson because I'm a baby and

I've taken 10 years to start actually learning how to drive. And it was pretty fun. You and I both know

that I haven't even taken that first step yet. So you're crushing it as far as I'm concerned. Wow, thank you so much. How did your driving lesson go? It was good. My teacher is like constantly baffled at how spacey I can be. So, I might be a threat to the road. Is my teacher hot? Is your driving? No, I think I would be worse at driving if my teacher was hot.

No, it's like, oh, you want to hear the most embarrassing things about me? Yeah. Great. All right. Well, jumping right on in, I'm Maya. I run a YouTube

channel called Broi de Chanel. I'm Hannah. I do research for Maya's YouTube channel. Hannah also helps

to run a film festival in Toronto called Insomniac Film Festival. That's true. Check us out, InsomniaFestival.com. Awesome.

We'll make your dreams come true. And this is Rehash, a podcast about the social media

for revisiting. This season is on the public theater, which is all about our collective fascination with a good public villain. Today, we're going to discuss the horror story that is

Wesalm Caleb. Yes. I'm naming here because she's very happily taken credit for this entire situation, posted a video on TikTok about the struggles of dating in New York City and a negative experience

she had had with a tall guy named Caleb who had recently ghosted her.

She then started getting a bunch of people in her comments being like, wait, is this the West Elm

Caleb?

It wasn't.

But looking into it further, she uncovered that this so-called West Elm Caleb

was a bit notorious in the New York dating scene, with a whole bunch of girlies sharing their stories with her, as well as on their own TikTok videos,

about how they had all dated this guy named Caleb, a six-four hinge haughty who worked as a designer for West Elm, which, can I say, is a pretty cool job.

The experiences these girlies had with Caleb followed a very similar pattern.
