EVERYBODY’S GOT A LITTLE SOMETHING GOING ON… AND THE PODCASTERS MIGHT BE THE WORST ONES! Welcome to the sidebar where the conversation never stays on topic.

SIDEBAR 37 | ‘TISM BABIES brings FAT LIVER JONES and BURBAN BOY REED back together for another unpredictable conversation about politics, authority, relationships, celebrity behavior, and the strange things people do when they think nobody’s watching.

And somewhere in the middle of all that, ANT and REED revisit their running joke about podcasters all operating on different parts of the spectrum. SO NATURALLY, THE CONVERSATION GOES COMPLETELY OFF THE RAILS!

THE 2026 MIDTERM ELECTIONS ARE OVER! Democrats have won control of the House and Senate, and ANT and REED get into the election results and what they mean for the political landscape. But before the political conversation gets too serious…REED HAS A PROBLEM WITH AUTHORITY!And apparently, that problem isn’t going anywhere!

The fellas get into authority, everyday confrontations, and the personalities of people who can’t stand being told what to do. Then it’s time for some PEOPLE WATCHING! Because sometimes the funniest things you’ll ever see happen when you’re just sitting around observing people minding their own business. BUT ARE WE REALLY MINDING OUR BUSINESS IF WE’RE WATCHING EVERYBODY ELSE?!

Next up, AMANDA SEALES! IS AMANDA SEALES A PASSPORT SIS?! ANT and REED react to a viral clip involving Amanda Seales and get into the whole conversation about women dating internationally, relationship expectations, and what qualifies somebody as a Passport Sis in the first place.

AND SPEAKING OF UNCONVENTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS…

WEST HOLLYWOOD IS RECOGNIZING THROUPLES AND FOURSOMES?! The California city approved a domestic partnership registry that allows relationships involving three or more adults to receive certain local legal protections. The fellas get into changing relationship dynamics, polyamory, and how people are redefining what a partnership can look like.

THEN MARTHA STEWART DECIDES TO DRESS AS A HOMELESS PERSON FOR HALLOWEEN!

YES. THAT MARTHA STEWART! The lifestyle mogul faced backlash after posting a Halloween costume depicting a person experiencing homelessness. She deleted the photograph and later apologized. BUT WAS THE COSTUME OFFENSIVE, OR DID THE INTERNET TAKE THE JOKE TOO FAR?!

From there, the conversation takes another unexpected detour into a segment that can only be described as…WHITE PEOPLE SHIT! AND WE’RE JUST GONNA LEAVE THAT RIGHT THERE!

Then the mood gets more serious when former YouTuber EDP445, whose real name is Bryant Moreland, is arrested on felony charges connected to allegations involving a minor. Authorities say the case stems from an investigation dating back to 2021. ANT and REED discuss the arrest, the history surrounding the online personality, and the questions raised by his latest legal troubles.

AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK WE’VE COVERED EVERYTHING…WHAT’S YOUR STATE’S MOST UNUSUAL KINK?! A viral map claiming to show the most disproportionately popular interests among FetLife users in each state sends the conversation into another completely unexpected direction. Because apparently, WHERE YOU LIVE might say something about what people are searching for behind closed doors! Or maybe it just tells us that the internet has a little too much information about everybody!

Politics. Authority problems. People watching. Passport Sisters. Polyamory. Martha Stewart. Internet controversies. And a map of America’s unusual adult interests. HOW DID WE GET FROM THE MIDTERMS TO ALL OF THIS?! IT’S SIDEBAR. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?!

Join FAT LIVER JONES and BURBAN BOY REED for another episode of unscripted conversations, unexpected arguments, and the kind of observations that make you wonder how the discussion got there in the first place.
