Cancel Me, Daddy

Katelyn Burns, Christine Grimaldi, Flytrap Media

The pearl clutching about “cancel culture” and “censorship” has become louder and more absurd while also getting more and more play in the media. Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actually being suppressed and left out of the conversation.

    The Cancel Culture Grift Economy™ has once again rewarded Bari Weiss. Support CMD on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cancelmedaddy CBS News anointed Weiss—the former New York Times op-ed columnist turned so-called Free Press founder—as the broadcast network’s editor-in-chief. What was once a mainstream media mainstay is poised to transform into a reactionary mouthpiece. Weiss will report directly to parent company Paramount CEO David Ellison, a billionaire aligned with Donald Trump. Join Katelyn, Christine, and “Cancellation Guncle” Michael Hobbes, journalist and co-host of the popular podcasts Maintenance Phase and If Books Could Kill, to discuss how the imminent media transformation threatens free speech and rigorous journalism.

    Democrats Were Banned From Saying These Progressive Words??

    According to the centrist group Third Way, Democrats should scrub their vocabulary of 45 words and phrases spanning six pejoratively titled categories: therapy-speak, seminar-room language, organizer jargon, gender/orientation correctness, the shifting language of racial constructs, and explaining away crime. “Was it something I said?” Third Way asks of Democrats’ losing streak. No—winning is something you do. This week, Katelyn and Christine cancel "Centrist Language Nannies,” debunking Third Way and the rest of the pundit class’s overhyped language policing.

    Inside the Secret Conservative Plan to Censor the Internet (ft Siri Dahl)

    Age verification laws are the latest front in the religious right's movement to censor your speech and limit your Internet access, including what information you can access. Whitewashed as interventions to "protect children," these conservative laws and their so-called content moderation actually make it more dangerous for kids, especially trans and queer kids cut off from digital lifelines. No one in Mississippi can access Bluesky, including critical local news alerts, thanks to the state's ban. You know who warned us this would happen, back when Visa and Mastercard first started refusing to process payments for what conservatives—not you—have deemed NSFW video games, the games you can no longer play? Sex workers. This week, Katelyn and Christine interview adult performer and content creator Siri Dahl, one of the first people to call out the Trump administration’s anti-pornography crackdown for what it is—an effort to suppress free speech for all. The Supreme Court’s June decision upholding age verification laws for porn—“corn”—websites arms Trump’s federal lackeys with your data and allows them to more broadly encroach on internet privacy. What is obscene? This government wants to decide and limit what information you can access, from gender-affirming info about trans identities and hormone therapy for trans and menopausal people to reproductive health issues about menstruation, contraception, and abortion. It is a fascinating conversation between intersectional feminists who recognize that sex work is another facet of bodily autonomy. Stream on our YouTube channel—remember to ring the bell!

    Excommunicated, Executed, Deposed: Medieval Cancel Culture Was Ruthless (ft Eleanor Janega)

    Excommunicated! Executed! Deposed! What did today’s equivalent of cancellation look like in Medieval Times? For Edward II, it was losing the throne. For Anne Boleyn, it was losing her head. Get your Justice for Anne Boleyn merch: https://www.cancelmedaddy.store This week, Katelyn and Christine time travel through cancel culture history with Dr. Eleanor Janega, co-host of the hit history podcast “Gone Medieval.” Need a good laugh? Despite the ruthless punishments, it’s a convo on the lighter side that skewers Braveheart propaganda to tell the real story of how “She-Wolf” Isabella of France and her latest lover, Roger Mortimer, deposed her husband, Edward II. Join Cancel Me, Daddy’s alliance with Eleanor of Aquitaine, whose beauty and brains led her two lesser husbands—King Louis VII of France and King Henry II of England—to contribute to her reputation as a “femme fatale.” Then there’s Frederick II, the Holy Roman Emperor who would rather “excommunicate and chill” than crusade and conquer. Make sure to check out Cancel Me, Daddy’s merch store for medieval swag—“Justice for Anne Boleyn!” Watch the full episode on Cancel Me, Daddy’s YouTube channel. Ring the bell to be notified for our next episode! We’re offering channel memberships and doing a monthly livestream for channel members—join today! We’re connecting the dots from papal bulls to modern media pile-ons, asking: How did medieval rulers weaponize public opinion? What role did gender, gossip, and propaganda play? And why do these centuries-old scandals feel so familiar in today’s political circus? Dr. Janega brings the receipts, the context, and the dark humor.

    The Scandal That Could Actually Break Trump's Base (ft. Ken Klippenstein)

    Donald Trump is bungling the Jeffrey Epstein scandal in real time. The Trump-Epstein connection is the politics news of the month, with no end in sight to further developments about the extent of the so-called “Epstein files” that may or may not be in the administration’s possession. Trump’s MAGA base is openly angry at him for seemingly the first time over the course of two administrations. Some Republicans have demanded answers, even as GOP leaders have shut down the House to stop Democrats from pursuing the release of further information. Both parties are using the scandal to their advantage, to the detriment of Epstein’s real-life victims and survivors.  This week, Katelyn and Christine interview independent journalist Ken Klippenstein about the Epstein discourse that split MAGA and might finally, finally stick to Teflon Don. Watch the full episode on Cancel Me, Daddy’s YouTube channel.

Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.” In this episode, we cover: • The documented Trump-Epstein connection timeline • Political psychology of scandal immunity • How conservative media frames controversial stories • Progressive analysis of MAGA loyalty dynamics This isn't just another Trump scandal breakdown - it's a deep dive into American political tribalism and the media narratives that shape public opinion. 💬 What do YOU think?
