Spill the Tea with D & E Episode: Free Speech, Media, and Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension — Who Gets to Decide What You Say?
When late-night comedy collides with the Constitution, the tea is guaranteed to spill. In this 40-minute episode, Erica and Dominique steep a hot brew of facts, funny stories, and First Amendment fire as they unpack Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension after his remarks about Charlie Kirk. Was it network choice, advertiser panic, or government pressure? And what does it mean for everyday voices online?
From Erica’s personal “Facebook jail” flashbacks to Dominique’s breakdown of what the First Amendment really covers (and doesn’t), this conversation blends humor and history with a clear-eyed look at censorship, satire, and the dangers of setting precedent. Expect laughs, lessons, and two heartfelt toasts to free speech and fearless conversation.
Dominique: This podcast is done by us as volunteers, and all monies earned go to Santa Barbara Wellness Center, Inc. Our mission is to support kids and teens and our community in wellness.
Erica: If you’d like to support, donations can be made at SBWellness.org. Truly — every bit helps us lift local youth and families.
Both: Thank you, we love you, and we’ll see you next tea time. 🌴☕️
