“Remedial”

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. 0:00 — Intro 1:48 — Royce admits he is a baddie 2:58 — Straightness is a spectrum (because… porn) 7:07 — Do you speak to your neighbors? 10:09 — “A white woman molested my dog” 14:14 — John Harbaugh fired 21:24 — Lamar doesn’t like Baltimore (Leise reacts) 24:26 — Black people are really conservatives 35:00 — Luxury and Black culture 53:00 — ICE is out of control 1:08:00 — Remedial, high functioning, Donald Trump & Cuban MAGA 1:22:17 — Huntrix is dope 1:23:22 — Outro / Wrap-up
