Red Pill, Black Pill, White Pill, Blue Pill ... and Clown Pill??? | 8/9/25

This At the Mic: Deep Dive with Keith Malinak roundtable brings together three unapologetic voices—Kelly Smith (@kelly4freedom), Jessica (@forestmommy), and Laura (@fancythis)—for a no-holds-barred conversation about free speech, media truth, COVID memory holes, and the cultural battles shaping our daily lives.

From lighthearted debates about Costco’s wild return policy and “Reese’s Pieces” pronunciation to serious takes on cancel culture, platform censorship, and how lockdowns rewired public trust, this episode blends political insight with relatable, laugh-out-loud moments. Keith keeps it raw, curious, and completely free from media gatekeepers.

If you’re looking for long-form conversation that’s equal parts cultural commentary, political interview, and personal storytelling, you’re in the right place.

Topics Covered:

• COVID’s “memory hole” and what we learned
• Free speech vs. Big Tech platforms
• Dynamic pricing and retail manipulation
• Costco returns, Walmart tags, and shopper psychology
• Everyday humor as a pressure valve for heavy topics
