Obsessively Outspoken

Welcome to another amazing episode of Obsessively Outspoken. In this episode, we do a deep dive into what should be censored and what shouldn't be.

We also examine an encounter between Officer Michael Moore and the citizens of England, a small town 30 miles Southeast of Little Rock, Arkansas. The men were filming a video when things took a sudden turn when they decided to formally introduce themselves to the patrolling officer. Thank you so much for joining us today. Enjoy!

In this episode we talk about the backlash Scarlett Johansson received when she accepted the role to play a transgender man. We also discuss the fallout after James Gunn, Director of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' sent out controversial tweets about rape and pedophilia a few years back.

Once again, we revisit social media and the consequences that potentially occur when not following proper online etiquette. Lastly, Yellow talks about his experience as a caregiver and the heavy responsibility that comes along with it and how it's too often overlooked by many.

In today's episode of Obsessively Outspoken, Yellow and I take a look at the case of Michelle Carter and the suicide death of her boyfriend Conrad Roy III.

This led us to thoroughly examine the topic of children and ask the question...Is the earth really in jeopardy of subsequently running out of resources due to overpopulation? Enjoy!
