  Celebrity Political Era

  Aug 7, 202643 min

  The black squares went up. The statements dropped. The celebrities showed out. And then — what? Episode 8 of We Vote Too is asking the question everybody skipped: when celebrity activism becomes the loudest voice in the room, does it lead people to the polls — or just to the post? We're unpacking the celebrity political era in full — from BLM as a marketing moment to the Joe Rogan effect, from Beyoncé on the campaign trail to influencers with White House press credentials. And we're revisiting a 2020 conversation with Dr. Matthew Knowles about what celebrities actually risk when they speak, what movements need beyond a moment, and why the vote has always been the thing that matters most. It was true in 2020. It's still true now. We Vote Too — Episode 8. Available now.

  Episode #33

  AI is laughing at us.

  Jul 17, 20261h 52mS1

  Welcome back to another unfiltered, heavy-hitting installment of T he SIDEBAR PODCAST , steered this week by your lead host, Royce , alongside co-host Leise Winny . The crew kicks things off with an absolute whirlwind of a check-in, tracking the massive national shockwaves following the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and the ongoing, secretive health mystery fueling rumors that Mitch McConnell might be next. They weigh in on global conflicts, a bizarre public health scare involving a widespread outbreak of explosive diarrhea, and the fallout from the latest Jay-Z concert. The opening conversation strikes a sharp legal chord as the hosts dissect the shifting lines between protected opinion and actionable slander across modern media and podcast platforms before addressing the latest updates in the Big Tigger drama. From there, Royce commands the room to unpack a controversial cultural shift—asking if outrage over race-swapped Hollywood casting and the hyper-fixation on figures like Caitlin Clark proves that racism has officially become the new "sex sells" for corporate algorithms. Meanwhile, Leise takes the mic to steer a vital discussion around the viral "Voice Note Guy" controversy, forcing a real, unfiltered dialogue about the true boundaries between consent and psychological coercion. Finally, the duo explores why a woman's intuition is so widely framed as a mystical gift before debating the ultimate relationship stress test: whether taking a solo travel trip is a healthy boundary for maintaining independence or an absolute dealbreaker in a serious relationship. Here is the full breakdown of topics the crew hits this week: Opening welcome: Gathering the community and locking in the weekly energy. The DC Shakeup: Reacting to the sudden death of Lindsey Graham and the wild internet speculation surrounding Mitch McConnell's prolonged hospital absence. Global and Local Chaos: Unpacking ongoing global warfare alongside a very real, stomach-churning public health alert. Jay-Z & Big Tigger: Catching up on major music events and the continuous legal updates in the radio world. Opinion vs. Slander: Where does podcast commentary end and character defamation legally begin? Racism is the New Sex Sells: How media spectrums, sports rivalries like Caitlin Clark vs. Alyssa Thomas, and boycotts are heavily monetizing racial division. Hollywood Race Swapping: A critical look at the casting decisions behind the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series, The Little Mermaid , and Helen of Troy . The Voice Note Guy Controversy: Breaking down the viral modern dating drama to analyze the psychological differences between eager consent and subtle coercion. A Woman’s Intuition: Questioning why society treats female instinct as an extraordinary gift rather than standard human logic. The Relationship Solo Trip: Evaluating when solo travel crosses the line from personal autonomy into an active relationship problem. Outro & Wrap: Final reflections, a quick recap of the dense topics, and Leise's closing remarks.
