Happy New Year (even Ellie, even Ellie's family of narcissistic abusers, whether of the grandiose subtype like Donald Trump or no)! Sorry, been catching up on the thread -- I got distracted by other large, mentally ill... women.
Firstly,
@Real Ariana Grande showed Dave's Nov. 10, 2022 Facebook post where he allegedly apologized to two exes for his "toxic borderline bullshit" (still not sure whether to parse it as "toxic bullshit resulting from BPD" or as "toxic behavior characterized as near-bullshit, which need not result from BPD") (

KF Post).
I think one of the exes referenced may be Sarah Myers (
KF post with relevant links). Sarah made a Facebook post on Nov. 3, 2022 outing Dave's alleged grooming of young women at Mizzou (see pic below of Sarah,
KF Post). Interestingly, on Nov. 3 Dave made an Instagram post (below) showing a woman from behind who resembles Sarah and featuring lyrics from Ani Difranco's breakup classic "Untouchable Face" (

Archive). Around a week later, he's making the mature decision to make amends for his vague misbheavior, which resulted from a personality disorder directly attributable to a lifetime of abuse.
As to the other ex, I wonder if it was the ex who was supposed to have a shower with Dave (or Chump), went and banged his married (fraternal, for sure) twin brother instead, then became the coked-out girlfriend of the guy who allegedly threatened Dave at McNally's Irish Pub on October 28, 2022. Or perhaps it was the non-binary person who left him for a farmer during lockdown. Of course, it's also possible the poor woman was just baffled by the email, as she hadn't known they'd been dating.
Also, I found this video (below) where Dave discusses how he became involved in atheist activism. (I think the video may have been a school project by uploader Erin Kilfoy, who was a journalism student at Mizzou at the time). The story is consistent with what he's told elsewhere: while playing music for a church he is "saved," intends to enter the ministry, begins reading the Bible and finds problematic passages, confronts his pastor about them, isn't satisfied by the response, becomes crusading atheist.

One thing worth noting -- I believe the opening shot is of a vanity license plate. If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Joe has (or at least has had) a vanity license plate. And I believe a vanity license plate is a sign of a... narcissist?
Anyway, Happy (almost) New Year, and thanks for making this thread a worthwhile obsession!
ETA:
@monstrous bubo, agreed RE: the creepy children. Apparently, they're surrounding a tumped-over, burning police cruiser (
Link). Still creepy, but now cringy too. (Also, is it me or does Dave look a little... Chris Chan-ish in this photo?)
