How To Be Creative and Get Away With It feat. Chad Kultgen
This week on Who Dem?, Rep. Gil Cisneros (D-CA 31) and Damian Galvan sit down with Chad Kultgen, novelist, screenwriter, and host of The Necessary Conversation: a podcast where he debates politics weekly with his far-right parents.We dive into why masculinity content is dominating online spaces, how Gen Z is inheriting a broken political system, and why podcasting might be the last line of defense against American families falling apart. Chad also walks through his experience making controversial art, turning street graffiti into gallery gold, and infiltrating reality TV (and The Bachelor) with game theory.Chapters:0:00 – Intro1:10 – Who is Chad Kultgen?3:30 – Writing The Average American Male6:20 – Art vs. misogyny9:00 – Being an artist = being a hustler11:15 – Street art & “None of this is real”14:10 – Selling art, selling scripts16:00 – The magician movie18:30 – Why is Gen Z so lonely?23:00 – Social media is engineered to divide us25:00 – Manosphere, Rogan, & online masculinity27:15 – Is cancel culture even real?30:00 – How Logan Paul made a comeback32:10 – The real power of podcasting35:00 – Arguing with your MAGA parents37:30 – Podcasting as family therapy40:00 – “Chad or Dad?” Quote game44:00 – Fear, aging & conservatism46:20 – Longing for the past49:00 – AI, truth, and misinformation52:30 – Deepfakes, lawsuits & confusion55:10 – Ideology as a product57:40 – Will AI destroy democracy?1:00:00 – Can Big Tech silence creators?1:03:30 – Gen Z’s political baseline is chaos1:06:15 – From “binders full of women” to insurrections1:09:00 – Politics is just content now1:11:10 – Vidal vs. Buckley: the origin of political TV1:13:00 – Gen Z, Trump, & the new normal1:15:10 – Reality TV is realer than news1:18:00 – Final thoughtsThank you for tuning into the ‘Who Dem?’ Podcast!
