[01:58:17] <mrpg> Do you remember the story about the youtuber couple where the girl (19) killed the boy(21)? There's a video of them talking just before doing it. He's showing the desert eagle and the bullets.
[01:58:50] <mrpg> The bullets are the size of a pinky.
[01:59:30] <mrpg> The yt comments say he looks under the influence.
[02:02:32] <Bytram> I remember when that story came up, yes.
[02:03:40] <Bytram> IIRC, he put her up to it, to some extent (IIRC) with wanting to boost viewership of their channel, needing to take things to the next level, and so prodded her into to agreeing to do it.
[02:08:03] <mrpg> Yes you recall correctly.
[02:08:45] <mrpg> She got like 3 years, but she's going to serve 1 month, then 2 months, then 3 months, something like that.
