One part satire, one part soul-searching, this series features two unlikely co-hosts: Roger—the earnest guide through modern chaos—and Daniel—the skeptic who never stops asking uncomfortable questions. Together, they dissect the headlines behind the headlines, from AI ethics and digital exploitation to climate manipulation, surveillance, and the collapse (or reinvention) of truth.
Sometimes they bring guests. Sometimes the guests aren’t human.

The Candace Collapse: Bots, Deepfakes, and the Death of Real Influence
n this explosive episode, Roger & Daniel investigate how Candace Owens built a media empire on bot farms, outrage, and AI-manipulated propaganda — and how it all came to a head after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
With special insights from Sertio, our resident AI analyst, we expose:• The deepfake video that falsely frames Kirk posthumously as pro-Hamas• The artificial reach of Owens’ claimed 7 million followers• Her chilling response to being banned from Kirk’s funeral• And the multi-million-dollar machine that profits from division
This is not just a story about one influencer.It’s about the manufacture of fake consensus — and the cost of trusting synthetic signals in a world that desperately needs truth.
🎧 Plus:Stay tuned for our next Investigative Voices report, Fake Influencers, where we’ll show you how to avoid costly ad fraud and spot real value in the digital chaos.
