Later in the day, however, a clip from Gillis’s podcast, Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast, was surfaced on Twitter by freelance writer and comedy reporter Seth Simons.
The clips shared on Twitter are from a podcast episode released in September 2018, so unlike other Twitter-comedian controversies involving Trevor Noah and Melissa Villaseñor, which were over old tweets, the resurfaced comments are all fairly new. Also unlike Noah and Villaseñor, Gillis seems to have anticipated that his past remarks would come back to haunt him, because all of the past episodes of Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast have been scrubbed from its YouTube channel.

Sensitive People don't watch em, or pay to see them, because if it's funny I'm laughing at the joke😃 its Not personal. To anyone who's actually offended.....
