NFT: New Yorker reporter, Jeffrey Toobin, zoom call

KDavies : 10/19/2020 3:03 pm
Just hilarious. Pulls his junk out. WTF: “I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.

Is it acceptable to pull your junk out on a zoom call even if you mute the video?

I'm going to have to plead ignorance on this one. If I had known this sort of thing was frowned upon....

It's easy to get the tech wrong, Zoom is easy but not completely instinctive to use. And honestly, I think there's a certain amount of Zoom fatigue and pandemic fatigue. People are less motivated to dress, less groomed. Social skills are eroding.

You can’t believe people having the sudden urge to pull their dicks out while in a Zoom meeting doesn’t happen more often? Haha, classic.

Okay, have now had a few people in the DMs saying the story is that Toobin was jerking it, pulling it, cranking it, etc. Was not just mere "exposure."

Pretty sure it's not getting the tech wrong or zoom fatigue that leads you to have your dick out during a work related zoom call.

How many people walk around their homes nude? Granted I have kids now, but I've been WFH for 10+ years now and have never once had a video conference nude. In a bathrobe/sweats/unkempt? Sure, but I've always been covered.

Ah, so he's not master of his domain either.

Years ago there was an email titled

“Camera in the private bathroom”

I turned to my coworker before opening it up and said “I’m just gonna resign now”

It ended up that someone left a camera in the bathroom, which is sorta weird in its own way.
is there a copy or link to the video?

Isn't NY an at-will state? Can't imagine him pulling his junk in a meeting would be any more excusable simply because he did it while working at home. Company would be fully justified in canning him, as would likely CNN, who he also works for.

Been on hundreds of zoom calls during this and I don't think I've seen anybody below the belt, they're all framed pretty tightly. So how clubs could we see his dick exactly?

Mad Mike : 10/19/2020 5:04 pm : link
how could he not have thought to physically cover the camera? Just from a general privacy sense I always have my laptop camera covered unless I'm on a video meeting, having nothing to do with exposing myself, just to be on the safe side that no one could be watching me. If I was whipping it out in front of my laptop, whether simply to change or for more, ahem, pleasurable activities, I damm well would make sure it was covered. Maybe that's paranoia, but in the age we live in you have to take active steps to secure your privacy.

"Toobing it" is now part of the 2020 lexicon!

The Chief Judge down in Broward County had to put forth an order on Zoom etiquette for courtroom proceedings. Among the problems were pornography, PDA, people with no shirts on, attorneys lying in bed doing the hearings.

Toobin is a good reporter.

He did great coverage during OJ. That said, his personal life is a mess. He's married, but had an affair that resulted in a child so...not exactly a great guy.

Just for the full picture: the woman was the daughter of his colleague, Jeff Greenfield. When she told him she was pregnant, he urged her to get an abortion. When she didn't, he refused to acknowledge paternity until she got a court order for a DNA test.

Dude's an asshole.

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 10/19/2020 8:22 pm : link
Damn. Greenfield's wife? JFC. I didn't know that.

Uh, yeah. Not someone I'd want near my wife.

So not quite the same, but still pretty bad when you're banging a colleague's daughter and then lie about getting her pregnant.

didn't get fired (and I'm not sure he can show his face on CNN again), he's going to be an Anthony Wiener like punch line for the foreseeable future.

His wife and kids will bear so much embarrassment from this incident their lives will forever be changed.

If widmerseyebrow get caught doing the same thing on a work zoom, it's not likely anyone, other than the unfortunate souls who saw it, would even know about it.

Fortunately for Toobin, the best thing to happen when you are involved in an incident like this is to have something worse come along and the cycle we're in right now, I'd expect that to happen any minute.

I mean, sure. But this guy's career is being a middling public figure. If he's a punchline every time people see his face, what's his value to the company? We're not talking about looking the other way for someone like Tom Brady so you can keep winning football games.

Probably a colleague. Porn you just wait. He seems like he was turned on by someone he was zooming with and decided to jackoff
