Seriously Sus Wed, 10 Jun 2026 01:05:15 -0400 http://www.seriouslysus.com en-us © 2026 Seriously Sus yes Support this Podcast 3bec106f-f1d7-54c1-912f-a8a286e50a4a seriouslysuspodcast@gmail.com Seriously Sus episodic false Seriously Sus is a weekly podcast and video series hosted by Nanette and Miranda, two besties doing what we do best: exposing shadiness with a side-eye. The show digs into the stories, claims, and chao sand cultural moments that make people pause and ask, “Wait… is that actually true?”


From true crime cases and questionable media narratives to viral controversies and full‑blown internet chaos, (and maybe even the occasional ghost story because, honestly, we just like spooky stuff), each episode blends humor, skepticism, and the tea. This is real talk, honest opinions, humor with teeth but handled with care. We ask the uncomfortable questions, call out suspicious behavior and laugh so we don’t scream. If it feels suspicious, shady or just straight up wrong, we are going to side-eye it!


New episodes drop weekly and are available on YouTube, Spotify, and major podcast platforms.

Think again.

In this episode of Seriously Sus, Nanette and Miranda tackle one of the most misunderstood concepts on the internet: freedom of speech. From social media bans and workplace firings to international arrests and public backlash, we break down what the First Amendment actually protects—and what it doesn't.

Along the way, we examine real-world cases involving influencers, celebrities, journalists, teachers, and everyday people who learned the hard way that "free speech" is not a magic shield against consequences.

In this episode, we discuss:

🇺🇸 What the First Amendment actually says

⚖️ The five freedoms it protects

🚫 Categories of speech that aren't protected

🌎 Why your constitutional rights don't follow you overseas

📱 Why social media platforms can ban you

💼 Why employers can fire you for things you post online

🎬 Rachel Zegler, Jimmy Kimmel, Chrissy Teigen, and other high-profile examples

✈️ Johnny Somali's legal troubles in South Korea

📰 Cases where the First Amendment actually worked as intended

🏛️ The difference between government censorship and private consequences

The internet loves to treat the First Amendment like a universal get-out-of-jail-free card. But the Constitution was never designed to protect you from your boss, your sponsors, your followers, or public opinion.

It was designed to protect you from the government.

And once you understand that distinction, a lot of today's free speech debates suddenly make a lot more sense.

So grab your side-eye and join us as we separate constitutional reality from internet mythology.

Because free speech protects you from the government—not everyone else.

👀 Stay skeptical. Stay informed. Stay sus.

In this episode of Seriously Sus, Nanette and Miranda take a deep dive into the increasingly bizarre world of gender reveal parties and the social media culture that transformed a private family milestone into a global spectacle.

From Arizona's infamous Sawmill Fire to a deadly homemade reveal device in Iowa, from dyed waterfalls in Brazil to crop-duster crashes in Texas, we examine some of the most shocking gender reveal disasters ever documented—and the very real consequences they left behind.

But this isn't just a story about bad decisions.

It's a story about algorithms, influencer culture, performative parenting, and a world where attention has become so valuable that people are willing to risk lives, property, and entire ecosystems for a viral moment.

In this episode, we explore:

• How gender reveals became a social media phenomenon

• The creator who now regrets starting the trend

• The psychology behind escalating stunts

• Environmental damage caused by reveal culture

• Fires, explosions, injuries, deaths, and criminal charges

• The role social media plays in rewarding risky behavior

• Why "cute family celebration" and "public safety hazard" are increasingly becoming the same thing

Because at some point, the question stopped being:

"It's a boy or a girl?"

And became:

"At what cost?"

Grab your side-eye and join us for one of the wildest stories of internet-fueled cultural chaos we've ever covered.

]]> Seriously Sus Buzzsprout-19281982 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 00:00:00 -0500 2810 1 9 full false Nature’s Most Wanted: Sus Animas on Trial Nature’s Most Wanted: Sus Animas on Trial After a run of heavy episodes, Miranda and Nanette needed a palate cleanser.
 So naturally… they chose crime. In this episode of Seriously Sus, we put the animal kingdom on trial and ask the only question that matters:Which animals are the most suspicious—and why are they getting away with it?

From honey badgers that refuse to disengage (emotionally or physically), to dolphins who may have curated the greatest PR scam in nature, we open the case files on animals that are charming, intelligent, and deeply untrustworthy. We rate each suspect on the official (very scientific) Sus Scale, attempt a doomed Dolphin PR crisis response, defend animals in court during Animal Alibis, and ultimately ask you to decide:Who  was the most sus of them all?

This episode is light, sassy, research‑backed, and unhinged in the best way. If you’ve ever trusted a dolphin, underestimated a raccoon, or made eye contact with a crow and felt judged — this one’s for you.

Episode webpage: https://seriouslysus.com/podcast/sus-animals-on-trial/

Resources and support

If this episode made you feel personally betrayed by dolphins, judged by crows, or suspicious of your trash can — you’re not alone.

●      Take a deep breath. The animals are not listening. Probably.

●      Touch grass. Preferably without making eye contact with birds.

●      Avoid marine mammals for 24–48 hours

●      Apologize  out loud to the nearest crow, just in case

●      Check your trash can lid for emotional closure

●      Remember: curiosity is healthy, judgment is optional, and raccoons cannot open every container. Yet.

If this episode stirred up bigger feelings — stress, anxiety, or existential dread — we encourage you to step away, reset, and seek real support from trusted people or mental health professionals. The honey badger would want you to advocate for yourself.

Twenty million people took to the streets in 1970—and it worked. The EPA was created. The Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act followed. Environmental destruction became politically expensive. So… how did we get from that to leaf emojis, green branding, and oil companies telling us they “love the planet”? In this episode, Nanette and Miranda dig into the surprisingly radical origins of Earth Day, how corporate greenwashing shifted environmental responsibility onto individuals, and why Earth Day feels increasingly hollow while environmental protections are actively being rolled back. They also speak with Misti Allison, an advocate from East Palestine, Ohio, whose community was devastated by the 2023 train derailment. Her story is a powerful reminder that one voice—when it refuses to stay quiet—can force accountability, expose systemic failures, and protect people and the planet. This isn’t an episode about guilt. It’s about power. And how Earth Day only matters when it becomes a demand again.

Okay, maybe not supposed to be emotional damage—but here we are. In this episode of Seriously Sus, Nanette and Miranda side‑eye April Fools’ Day and unpack why it no longer feels playful. If April 1st makes you tense instead of laugh, you’re not broken. You’re living in 2026. We dig into how a holiday built on deception ran straight into misinformation culture, scam psychology, and a massive trust problem. And yes—we also unpack what it says about us that we launched this podcast on April Fools’ Day. (Was it irony? Chaos? Or did we know exactly what we were doing?)
