Noble Citizens Podcast

After watching "Framing Britney Spears," Che and Jaede break down the evolution of Britney, Justin Timberlake's influence, paparazzi, the conservatorship, and much more.  It's love day, y'all. Noble Citizens, much love to you and yours.

It's our first episode of 2021! We gather together in anticipation of the biggest sports day of the year. We are literally talking everything from the road to January 20th, the hunt for a PlayStation 5, Dogecoin, Che's love for the NY Giants, Jaede's feelings about Tom Brady, SuperBowl LV predictions, and so much more! Noble Citizens... assemble! We've missed you.

Ahh... A November to remember. We take a look back at what became election week. A storm of emotions and a literal storm outside. Hurricane season isn't over yet folks. Let's get through it together. We're talking about all the elements: Biden, Harris, Trump, Pence, Eta, Chappelle, and much more. Recorded on November 9, 2020 - Happy Birthday, Gerry! RIP, cuzzie.

So we didn't win the NBA Finals... We were wrong, (see our mixed reactions above.) Yep, we went through it - ALL the stages of grief.  In this episode, we'll discuss the NBA Finals and take a look back at the season overall. We get into the emotions, our predictions on what's next for our squad, and even the future of Lebron James. THE FIRE NEVER DIES.

THAT'S RIGHT. WE SAID IT. In fact, we made this prediction in December 2019. If 2020 is going to bring us ANYTHING good, it's going to be this! Join us in Finals anticipation as we broadcast from our very own bubble with Austin aka Captain Redbeard (@capt_redbeardgaming).  It's been a minute, but we in this. Welcome back, Noble Citizens!

How has your 2020 begun? Mercury retrograde is in FULL effect. Mercury has been working overtime and started in January for us. psshh... overachiever! We're focusing in on four weekends in a row of bad news and out of the ordinary circumstances - the heartbreaking deaths of Kobe Bryant, Caroline Flack & Pop Smoke (Rest in Paradise, sweet souls), our Harry Styles concert experience, & the Cindy couch debacle. But Noble Citizens, sometimes difficulties can be our best teachers. We are going through the last weeks and the lessons learned throughout. We trust that it's a build-up for a big breakthrough. We are also talking about the Netflix series Rhythm & Flow, the Fury vs. Wilder fight, and why some of our favorite artists just don't get the credit they deserve.

Noble Citizens, we are SO thankful for you! Join us at the table for our Thanksgiving recap. From our NBA VIP experience to our untraditional Thanksgiving feast, courtesy of Master Chef Ronnie himself, we are giving you all the details of our eventful week. We're also taking some time to share what we're thankful for and jumping into Christmas with an eggnog taste test. (*ASMR*) Let's get weird!

Annnnd, we're back - with a fresh one! Let's discuss Colin Kaepernick. Is he rightfully standing up for the cause or sabotaging himself out of a job? Che' speaks on his love for Disney+ (Hey Disney, @pro.bound) and his fantasy football woes. (We're sorry, Philip Rivers!) We're also talking Disney+"inappropriate cultural depiction" disclaimers. And, is it crossing the line to portray gay couples in children's movies? Let's meet at the table and let's get weird!

IT IS TIME! Football season is here and Che' is ecstatic! While the season kicked off to a triumphant start for some, some of our favorites are going to need some help. We've compiled a list of those who need a prayer or two. We're going to review what's really going on with Antonio Brown, the UCF Knights, New York Giants, Miami Dolphins, and even Super Bowl LIV being hosted right here in our neighborhood. What do you think about the halftime show announcement -- Jennifer Lopez & Shakira? And, do college athletes deserve to get paid for play? Huddle up, Noble Citizens! As always, we're getting real... and weird. 

Three weeks -- the Amazon is still burning. We express our concern for the Earth's lungs and throw around ideas to save the world. We also explore the VMA nominations and reveal our predictions. How did we land? Who did you vote for? "The Power is Yours!" - Captain Planet

It's been a particularly eventful summer. Between Mercury Retrograde and moves made, we fill you in on exactly what we have been up to. Now that everyone's heading back to school, we have a message to share with our student citizens. Needing a little inspiration? We've got your back. Don't miss it. 

From Taylor Swift vs. Scooter Braun & Scott Borchetta to The Little Mermaid's Halle Bailey, we are weighing in on legendary moves made and the social media backlash. Taylor Swift took to social media to express her absolute discontent with Scooter Braun's purchase of Big Machine Records. With multiple celebrities and artists taking sides, are we Team Taylor or Team Scooter/Scott? Halle Bailey is the new Ariel, but not everyone's happy about it. What gives? And, we're shouting out our boy Ed Sheeran for sharing "Yesterday."

The 2019 BET Awards took us to church! Both entertained and inspired - we review the best moments of the night. We discuss the careers and criticisms of some of our favorite artists and well-known faces. Cardi B and her Album of the Year win. The Exonerated 5's journey from injustice to victory. Moving tributes to Nipsey Hussle (Humanitarian of the Year), Tyler Perry (Ultimate Icon Award) & Mary J. Blige (Lifetime Achievement Award). Big moves like BET's new streaming service, BET+ and the highly anticipated film by Lena Waithe and Melina Matsoukas, Queen & Slim. To top it off, we break down the performances that lit up the stage: Lizzo, H.E.R., Lil Nas X with Billy Ray Cyrus and more!

Sports fans are feasting this week with celebration and controversy. The Raptors and the Blues celebrate their 1st championship titles. Drake drops a couple new tracks in honor of his hometown team. The Lakers waste no time in making moves. Trades were made. Anthony Davis is now a Laker and LaVar Ball is not happy about Lonzo's LA departure. Are the US Women's Soccer Team 'too good' to celebrate in the World Cup? We also check-in on our Caribbean people. What is happening in the Dominican Republic? And, in Trinidad & Tobago? Sending love to DR hero, David "Big Papi" Ortiz.

Noble Citizens, we've missed you! We return to you in the midst of the NBA Finals. Raptors are up 3-1 and the series has taken some theatrical turns both on and off the court - Kyle Lowry & the Warriors part-owner, Beyonce' & the Warriors owner's wife, and of course, Drizzy Drake. We also dive in to why GTA is so addicting. And, we take some time to recognize Pride month & spread love for our LGBTQIA+ fam.

We're getting controversial and opinionated this week. The internet has no chill. From a viral attack on Ayesha Curry, criticism of Meghan & Harry's new baby, to Nick Bosa's digital delinquency, we're talking about it. We're even dipping into some tough talk on (wait for it)... racism and politics? Yep. Join us, Noble Citizens. We're just getting started.

Our special guest & GOT Specialist, Andrew, joins us at the table to discuss the final season of Game of Thrones in anticipation of episode 3. 

Che' hosts an epic battle between Jaede & Ronnie to crown the greatest television show of ALL TIME! 

The Noble Citizens kick their debut episode off with some flicks. *Spoiler Alert* We're discussing the "The Dirt", "Us", and that new "Ma" trailer. Our Jaede was also heartbroken during this year's March Madness. We unload her pain and talk college basketball. (whispers) She's a UCF fan.

As music festival season begins, we talk mishaps at Ultra. Fyre Festival 2?? We take a look back at the catastrophes that are Fyre Festival and "The Boy Band Con" to compare and contrast the dark side of the music industry. On the flip side, festivals like Global Citizens and Made in America use their success to give back to the community. Of course, we can't talk about giving back without taking the opportunity to recognize the legacy of the late, great Nipsey Hussle.
