Deposition testimony of Steven Crowder
It’s a bit of a slow burn, but this is incredible to watch.
The number of times he immediately contradicts what he just said is amazing. Steven confirms that he’s a real journalist with standards, but also reports as fact what some dude on social media says.

Sound guy of the year
I used to be an assistant to a discount DJ that did weddings and parties and this same shit happened at a wedding when the couple was walking down the aisle, the music just stopped and bride got confused and upset at us. Holy shit, it's embarrassing.
