Gas prices are up, the press pool is out, and the Internet isn’t real! This week on The Thick we dive into our news and pop culture catch up, including Hasan Piker’s Clock It interview, KWN’s “joke” of a crush on KeKe Palmer, #EmmysSoWhite, and the untimely passing of Presley Gerber. Then we detour into the Patrick Clancy and Rachel Danis interview on 60 Minutes and how one viral post became a textbook example of Dead Internet Theory. What happens when we can no longer tell who, or what, we’re conversing with online? Bots and AI agents can create content, write comments, drive engagement…sooo what’s the point anymore?

Is gatekeeping always a bad thing? This is what we’re delving into this week on The Thick. The “mid-tier” events have disappeared which has led to influencers occupying spaces once reserved for established entertainers, insiders and celebrities. The VMAs, AMAs, Billboard Awards, Hip-Hop Awards, etc were stages that bridged the gap between the obscure and the A-list. Now it seems like if you have a phone and a following, you can be at the Met Gala. We’re not arguing that this new found access is bad—its a good thing! But what happens when the barrier to entry is so low that talent and originality become more diluted—does exclusivity actually serve a purpose? We unpack and delve into the news cycle with Mitch McConnell coming back from the dead, Trump bribing Americans with imaginary checks again, and Jasmine Crockett’s poor decision making, plus so much more!  There’s no gatekeeping here, so grab a seat and let’s unpack.

Are you a cutie patootie or a baddie? This week on The Thick, we ask the important questions before diving into everything else going on the world. In the news, we break down the House condemning socialism and the Lindsay Clancy trial ending in a mistrial. Then it’s pop-culture catch-up: Beyoncé’s box, P!nk calling out Macklemore over his advocacy, + more! For our main topic, we talk through Keith Lee thanking God for protecting his family after a crash caused by a drunk driver, while another person tragically lost their life. What does it mean to publicly call yourself blessed in the wake of someone else’s tragedy? We unpack the way people talk about divine protection and favor. If God intervenes to save one person, what does that say about the person who wasn’t saved?  And somewhere between politics, theology and pop culture, we also determine whether we are  cutie patooties or baddies. What do yall think?

Welcome back Thickums! This week is all about people overly committed to the lie. We discuss Angel Murdock who posed as a Duke University PA student and Daejon Love, who took the internet by storm with his NFL-player persona.  We skipped our usual news segment this week and kept the convo light with pop culture including Doja Cat’s opening up, the D4vid trial, and our random catch ups and Tabria’s catfish story, lol.

This week is all about survival tactics—how to prepare for inclement weather and extended power outages. We go over basic survival essentials everyone should have on hand to make it through tough times. Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready!  We also catch up on the week’s news and pop-culture chaos: the beef shortage, the trade-war with Canada, Callaway’s distasteful G\golf ad, and Enes Kanter’s latest WNBA debacle.  Tune in for a mix of useful prep advice and everything else you expect here on The Thick!

It’s a Thick Chat week, which means no main topic—we’re letting the conversation go wherever it wants to. We’re catching up on everything that’s been happening from Luigi Mangione pleading guilty to Orlando Brown vs. Ray J in the ring. We go off on a few tangents and also talk OxyShred, college freshmen spending $20K decorating their dorm rooms, our Halloween plans, and whatever else crosses our minds along the way. No theme, just thoughts, with Tabrindy!

This week, we’re unpacking the TikTok discourse that somehow got even messier than last week! We unpack the conversation around Drew Afualo and ER Fightmaster’s comments on cis and trans experiences of womanhood, and ask who gets to define what a “beautiful” experience of being a woman actually looks like. Then, Jools Lebron’s GoFundMe sparks another debate: when you have millions of followers, is it fair to ask them for money, or is that exactly what community is for? We also touch on biphobia and dating preferences.  Plus, the biggest stories of the week: the latest in the Lindsey Clancy trial, Royce White’s WNBA aspirations, Perez Hilton, and plenty more chaos.
