Your interpretation is not in contradiction to mine, and I had watched the video.
I'm saying that the casters didn't know before the interview started that Blitzchung would wear a gas mask to it.
You're saying that during the interview they encouraged him. That's true. But a caster doesn't have many other options at that point, their main job is to keep things genial and entertaining. They are not the production team, who could have cut away from the interview at any time -- even before the casters started responding. The blame goes to production.

Nah that's wrong. Have you watched the live feed video?
Here's a translation of what was said by the casters.

So many mistruths being spread and believed as facts, it's sad really.
