    This week on The Sidebar Podcast, Leise Winny and Mr. Royce sit down with William Honablew Jr., Business Consultant, for a sharp, layered conversation about capitalism, leadership, culture, and power. From understanding business ownership in Black communities to navigating influence, distraction, and the consequences of “winning,” this episode connects entrepreneurship with identity, accountability, and cultural politics. Is capitalism the path to leadership — or just another hierarchy?Should cultural figures be called out for their behavior?Who controls access to power?And what does it really cost to win? It’s business… but it’s also bigger than business. 4:20 — William Honablew Jr. introduction5:12 — Why is it important for Black people to understand how to run a business?10:30 — Should we call out 50 Cent for his behavior?14:30 — Looking for leadership through capitalism19:13 — Who can say the N-word?26:02 — What is a martyr?32:35 — Keeping people out & using power strategically34:15 — Entertainment or distraction?39:08 — How marketing changed the game49:48 — Platonic friendships — real or not?1:00:55 — Being honest: hero vs. villain1:13:18 — The consequences of winning1:20:30 — William’s business info & closing

    You Only Like the Froot People

    This week on The Sidebar Podcast, Leise Winny and Mr. Royce spiral from vacation energy to death, religion, cereal psychology, and modern relationships — because of course they do. After thanking recent guests, Royce recaps his vacation and explains why he might be too royal for Carnival. The conversation shifts into a Black History Month reflection — including the loss of Rev. Jesse Jackson — and whether the reaper has been working overtime. From there, the episode gets loud. Uncle Luke for Congress? Country halftime shows? Brandy’s national anthem performance? Is All-Star Weekend officially dead? Nothing is safe. The second half goes deeper: who’s actually more emotional — men or women? Are we all just performing our lives for the internet? Is homeownership still the American dream? Why do modern relationships feel broken? And what does it mean when you keep picking “Froot Loops” instead of substance? It ends with an unexpected dive into Kellogg’s history, religion, death, and why maybe — just maybe — we’re all a little remedial when it comes to what we choose. Funny. Honest. Slightly unhinged.

  4. Kiss My Grits Episode

    Kiss My Grits Episode

    The conversation kicks off with personal check-ins and Black History Month reflections before welcoming Kiss My Grits, who breaks down how she got into true crime and why internet obsession culture is… a lot. From there, nothing is safe. We get into messy celebrity takes, cultural contradictions, wigs under pressure, the Black struggle (past and present), and why some conversations make people deeply uncomfortable. The episode swerves between pop culture, history, identity, and taboo topics — touching on colorism, selling out in reverse, kink discourse, and the release of the Epstein files. It’s chaotic, sharp, funny, and honest — the kind of episode that makes you laugh first and think later. 0:52 — Intro1:06 — Is Leise delicate?2:00 — Black History Month showcase3:10 — Intro: Kiss My Grits & how she got into true crime6:47 — Kevin Gates is a menace9:24 — Kristy and Desmond16:05 — Nicki is a loser18:38 — Getting boxed out your wig24:39 — The Black struggle33:36 — Epstein files released43:57 — Was the Middle Passage real?50:00 — Kinks are for clean people50:26 — Selling out in reverse59:13 — Colorism1:10:00 — How to follow Grits1:12:00 — Outro

    Did It on ’Em

    This episode of The Sidebar Podcast moves fluidly between humor, reflection, and sharp cultural critique. The conversation starts light before expanding into what adulthood really looks like — from making friends after 30 to navigating social spaces that feel increasingly hollow. The episode interrogates pretty privilege, empty packaging, and the ways society keeps people distracted from what’s actually connected beneath the surface. As the tone deepens, the discussion turns to state power, violence, and collective blind spots — asking why certain realities are harder for some people to recognize. From creative exploitation to disagreement being mislabeled as hate, the episode challenges listeners to sit with discomfort rather than scroll past it. It’s layered, unfiltered, and very Sidebar. 0:00 — Intro (speaking Spanish)2:00 — Making friends over 305:20 — Optionally chopped10:52 — Pretty privilege, no personality, empty package12:40 — Society is a distraction18:54 — Pretti killed by ICE24:36 — It’s all connected — why don’t white people get that?33:30 — Close run-ins with the toilet47:54 — Why can’t we disagree without it being called hating?51:00 — Creativity gets exploited1:04:03 — Why didn’t we call them out?

    Black Male Podcast Syndrome

    This episode of The Sidebar Podcast moves fast and hits hard. From questioning the competence of the Trump administration to unpacking sports heartbreak, political contradictions, and cultural absurdities, the conversation bounces between humor and sharp critique. The episode touches on coaching shake-ups, systemic hypocrisy, viral language mishaps, and the rise of “Black Male Podcast Syndrome,” and examines how performance often replaces substance. As the conversation deepens, themes of meritocracy, celebrity collapse, and resistance come into focus — asking when it’s time to stop tapping along and start bucking the system. The episode closes with rapid-fire hot topics, internet moments, and a final reminder that nothing exists in a vacuum. Unfiltered, fast-moving, and very Sidebar. 0:00 — Intro1:48 — Royce2:54 — The Trump administration is really not the brightest7:46 — Harbaugh to the Giants15:20 — My heart goes out to the Bills15:42 — The SIN Act22:10 — “F**k-up” phrases30:27 — Black Male Podcast Syndrome (tap dancing, Steven & Sir Nclecta Newton)52:00 — Meritocracy is out of control59:09 — Death of the megastar1:06:30 — QOTD: When is it time to buck the system?1:12:31 — Hot Topics1:16:31 — Lightskin machine1:20:00 — Outro

    “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 — Intro1:48 — Royce admits he is a baddie2:58 — 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 fired21:24 — Lamar doesn’t like Baltimore (Leise reacts)24:26 — Black people are really conservatives35:00 — Luxury and Black culture53:00 — ICE is out of control1:08:00 — Remedial, high functioning, Donald Trump & Cuban MAGA1:22:17 — Huntrix is dope1:23:22 — Outro / Wrap-up

    Protect Your Piece | End-of-Year Chaos, Venezuela Crisis, Internet Outrage & Media Truth

    End-of-year energy has everyone saying they’re “protecting their peace,” but this episode asks the sharper question: what piece are people actually protecting? Peace of mind, a piece of clout, a baddie era, or something more? This episode breaks down the contradiction of claiming peace while starting beef, soft-launching new personalities, and redefining confidence online — including the internet debate over whether men can be baddies. The conversation zooms out to global politics with a clear, accessible breakdown of the Venezuela crisis: how the country got here, what’s happening now, and why it feels like political Groundhog Day, with a brief Iraq-era parallel. We also unpack internet culture’s cycle of selective outrage, where new villains and victims are crowned weekly depending on gender, looks, popularity, and bias. The episode closes with the Anthony Joshua situation and what it reveals about modern journalism, media framing, and why protecting your piece of the truth matters. Protect your peace if you must —but don’t forget to protect your piece.
