About this listen

On this episode of Damaged Ones, Mike Garcia and Sarah Altland get into why celebrities need to stop using their platform to lecture people on politics — and why it always comes with consequences. We start by breaking down Billie Eilish’s comment, “no one is illegal on stolen land,” and why it sounds ignorant when it’s coming from someone who’s never had to live with the real-world impact of those ideas. Mike digs into how sociology actually plays a role here, and why catchy slogans don’t equal understanding. At some point, entertainers should entertain — not preach.

In the second half, Sarah reacts to what’s coming out of the Epstein files, and it’s heartbreaking. We talk about who was involved, who enabled it, and how deep the rot goes in Hollywood. The more that comes out, the clearer it is just how protected and immoral that world really is.

This episode is blunt, uncomfortable, and honest.
