*Throughout April 2022, GimR heavily advertised a new tech that he was to debut on his Twitch channel on May 4th. However despite starting the stream, he faced a technical issue that prevented him from presenting the tech,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VcXavvSvO0ibHZ50DAKrCGFIAjf13r_ZBnjQs7hjOGU/edit|title=Technical issue}}</ref> leading his Twitch channel to play "Back to the Lab" for over an hour. This has since spawned several jokes regarding the song, with Twitter Gaming also picking up on it,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/TwitterGaming/status/1521981315838627846|title=Twitter Gaming on "Back to the Lab"}}</ref> leading GimR to trend on Twitter.
