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. Classic Sidebar.
