But when it 346 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: comes down to it, the main character of twenty twenty 347 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: four is not the most historically significant. It is the 348 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: person who represents the year, a year on the Internet 349 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 1: that has been defined by grift, by lies, and by desperation. No, 350 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: I am not talking about the wrestler he's a kid, 351 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: and that would be bullying. 352 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:34,159 Speaker 2: The winner can only be Hawk to a girl. 353 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: Yes, Indeed, Hailey Welch absolutely speed ran through the main 354 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: character experience in twenty twenty four, and while I will 355 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: wager a guess that her fifteen minutes will continue, going 356 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: from Summer TikTok talking headstar to Cryptogrifter in six months 357 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: or less is truly astounding. But of course the story 358 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: is far more complicated than that. Right, So even though 359 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: Hawk Tua and Haley Welder's story will continue, I have 360 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: a feeling I won't be talking to her anytime soon. 361 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: So we're gonna take a look at her fame and 362 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: what it means about us next week, and that will 363 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,959 Speaker 1: conclude the first and final annual Mini Awards.
