This episode of The Sidebar Podcast is unapologetically remedial — in the best way.

From admitting baddie tendencies and questioning how “straight” straight really is, to awkward neighbor interactions and conversations that spiral fast, this episode leans fully into chaos, honesty, and uncomfortable truths.

The conversation moves through culture, politics, and identity — touching on Black conservatism, luxury and Black culture, ICE being out of control, and what it means to be “high functioning” in a society that keeps moving the goalposts. There’s commentary on sports, politics, internet moments, and unexpected takes that only make sense once you hear them out loud.

If you’ve ever felt like everyone else got the syllabus and you didn’t — welcome.
This one’s remedial.
