I speak Hypocrite

What does it really mean to call someone a hypocrite — and are we all guilty of it?

This week on The Side Bar Podcast, Leise and Royce get into the contradictions people love to ignore… especially when it benefits them. From personal accountability to politics, propaganda, and perception — nothing is off limits.

We talk about whether people can actually change, why we keep comparing different eras like they’re equal, and how narratives get shaped depending on who’s telling the story. From boycott debates to the SAVE Act, to the way “safety” gets used as a gatekeeping tool — this episode really asks: are you thinking for yourself, or just picking sides?

And of course… we had to get into that perceived innocence conversation.

Yeah. That one.
