This week on the Right Side of Hollywood, the conversation gets real about the intersection of pop culture, entertainment, and politics in America. Deborah, Christian, and Ryan start with Hollywood's Walk of Fame, where they discuss the recent honor bestowed upon Adam Carolla, a conservative comedian who's been a thorn in the side of the liberal establishment. But what's really interesting is the contrast between Adam's old-school humor and the current state of late-night TV, where hosts like Jimmy Kimmel are more focused on pushing a partisan agenda than entertaining the masses.

Ryan focuses on the genuine warmth and sincerity Kimmel displays while introducing Carolla for the honor, and wonders aloud why the late-night host can't bring that same spirit and sentiment to his show for the masses. Deborah gives a keen insight as to why he won't - or can't - do that, and Christian details the de-evolution of Kimmel as a simple political hack rather than a comedian.

The trio also tackles the topic of gratitude, using the example of actress Milly Alcock, who's been making headlines for her comments about being a woman in a superhero movie. Her attitude has sparked a lot of debate, with some calling her ungrateful and others defending her right to speak her mind. Deborah and Christian discuss the importance of being mindful of one's words and actions, especially when it comes to representing oneself as a public figure.

Our Fool of the Week segment focuses on the recent behavior of 'Dr.' Jill Biden, who's been accused of elder abuse after her husband, President Joe Biden, had a noticeable pause during the infamous June 2024 debate with then-former President Trump. The RSOH crew questions her motives and wonder why she didn't take him to a hospital instead of a Waffle House. They also discuss the importance of accountability and holding people in power accountable for their actions.

This week on Thursdays with Trisha, we're diving into the world of Colorado politics with a lively discussion about the recent gubernatorial debate. The conversation starts with a recap of the debate, where Representative Scott Bottoms faced tough questions from Michael Brown and Senator Barb Kirkmeyer stopped short of saying there was 'corruption' at the state capitol. Trisha shares her observations on the debate, highlighting the combative nature of the moderators and the candidates' responses.

The discussion delves into the topic of water rights, with Trisha asking Representative Bottoms about his stance on the issue. He explains that owning water rights is a property rights issue, and that people can own water rights, but when they sell it, it goes back to the state or a municipality. Trisha also touches on the topic of data centers, which are becoming a significant issue in Colorado. She asks Representative Bottoms about his thoughts on property rights, water rights, deregulation, and data centers, and he responds by highlighting the benefits of data centers and the need to guide them in a way that benefits the people of Colorado.

The conversation also covers the topic of corruption in the state government, with Senator Kirkmeyer sharing her thoughts on the issue with Ryan. She defines corruption as intentionally and knowingly doing something wrong and breaking the law, and agrees with Representative Bottoms that giving a person a grant or contract in exchange for silence is corruption. However, she stops short of calling the state government corrupt, citing mismanagement as a more accurate term.

Trisha also calls the calamitous interview Victor Marx gave to Kyle Clark 'a missed opportunity' to shift and shape the narrative on policy, and instead allowing the focus to be on the GOP gubernatorial candidate's shady and checkered past.
