What happens when your favorite celebrity supports a politician you don't?

In this episode, 12Kyle discusses the growing debate surrounding celebrities, politics, fandom, and accountability. From TLC's Chilli and Snoop Dogg to the broader conversation about cancel culture, social media footprints, and consumer choices, 12Kyle examines why people care so much about the political beliefs of public figures—and whether those beliefs should impact our support.

Do we really know the celebrities we follow? Should political views affect ticket sales, streams, and endorsements? And where do we draw the line between personal beliefs and public consequences?

A thought-provoking conversation about celebrity culture, politics, loyalty, and responsibility.

After hearing Mike Vick explain why changing jersey numbers changed everything for him, 12Kyle reflects on his own football journey—from Pop Warner to Wilson High School to South Carolina State University—and explains how one simple jersey number eventually became the name of his podcast and personal brand.

This episode is about much more than football. It's about confidence, identity, commitment, memories, and how seemingly small moments can have lifelong impact.

In this episode, 12Kyle interviews filmmaker Jason Keith Taylor, a Los Angeles native and independent filmmaker. Jason shares his journey from interning at BET Networks, learning production, casting, post-production, and development, to creating his own projects through photography and film.

The heart of the episode centers on Jason’s new film That’s Life, which is inspired by the loss of his grandfather and the emotional question: “Would he be proud of me?”

The film explores grief, family distance, emotional closure, and the conversations we wish we could have one more time.

This week, comedian and podcaster Uncle Dolemite joins me to talk about comedy, fear, failure, confidence, hecklers, New York comedy clubs, and chasing dreams later in life.
