SIDEBAR 34 | GASLIGHTING 101 brings FAT LIVER JONES and BURBAN BOY REED back together for another episode of THE SUPER CRASH BROS audio-only podcast, where even the simplest conversation can turn into a full-blown argument.

ANT starts by showing off the latest content creator products he’s been working on through Numb Face Media before REED gives himself a performance review following THE SUPER CRASH BROS episode ON THE JOB TRAINING. That conversation takes a turn into Netflix’s true crime documentary The Pharmacist and how far people will go when the system refuses to listen.

Then ANT has a first-world problem that every aging Black man can understand: having to find a NEW BARBER. Because after you’ve trusted somebody with your hairline for years, starting over feels like ending a long-term relationship.

REED introduces THE INNOCENCE TEST and wants to compare scores, which should tell you everything you need to know about where this conversation is headed.

The fellas also get into a professor accused of urinating on somebody’s backpack, the conflicting reports about Diddy allegedly getting attacked in prison, and 3D-printed salmon that opens up an entirely different conversation about America’s eating habits.

And apparently that STILL isn’t enough.

ANT and REED debate legalizing happy endings, dealing with animals suffering from anxiety, and a new form of segregation before Netflix enters the conversation again.

This time it’s Daejon Love, the man accused of posing as an NFL player to scam women out of money. Netflix is turning the story into an upcoming Untold documentary called Wide Deceiver, and the fellas have plenty to say about that one.

Between questionable decisions, relationship debates, ridiculous news stories, and two people who can turn literally anything into an argument, ANT and REED might be the last people qualified to teach GASLIGHTING 101.

Everybody’s an expert until somebody starts asking questions.

THE SUPER CRASH BROS | ON THE JOB TRAINING brings FAT LIVER JONES and BURBAN BOY REED back together for another round of unpopular opinions, ridiculous arguments, political commentary, and conspiracies that probably sounded reasonable before ANT and REED started talking.

ANT kicks off UNPOPULAR OPINION with an issue he’s been sitting on for a while: life coaches, credit repair gurus, relationship experts, and the baddies doing everybody’s taxes. Apparently, everybody’s qualified to teach somebody something these days, and ANT wants to know who the hell trained these people in the first place.

Then CONTRARIAN OR NOT takes aim at Kid Rock and his controversial comments warning about a possible religious civil war in America. That leads straight into CONTRARIAN VIEWS, where ANT and REED debate gun control and why the conversation changes depending on whether you live in an urban neighborhood, the suburbs, or rural America.

By the time CRASH CONSPIRACIES comes around, the fellas are questioning the backlash surrounding the Chicago gang-themed video game Hood Warfare 2. Why are people upset about this game when millions of gamers are waiting for Grand Theft Auto VI? Is the controversy really about stereotypes, or are people picking and choosing when they want to be offended?

Somewhere between unqualified experts, Kid Rock predicting the next civil war, gun control, and video games, ANT and REED manage to turn ON THE JOB TRAINING into a conversation neither one of them could’ve planned.

ChatBBC brings guest HD back to THE SIDEBAR podcast with hosts FAT LIVER JONES and BURBAN BOY REED for another conversation that goes completely off the rails.

ANT starts with his latest dentist appointment, which somehow turns into the fellas debating why having a normal conversation with another human being has become so damn complicated.

From there, ANT, REED, and HD get into Summer Walker’s comments about ChatGPT, convicted murderer Christa Pike, and whether capital punishment has become a lost art. Then there’s the substitute teacher impersonator who reportedly spent three class periods insulting students instead of teaching them.

The conversation gets even stranger with prison hibachi, a woman accused of masturbating on an airplane, and a completely unhinged conspiracy debate about whether Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were CIA plants. The fellas also react to somebody claiming the women of Living Single weren’t attractive before somehow ending up in a discussion about presidential assassinations.

SIDEBAR 32 starts with REED pressing ANT over something he said on another show, which somehow turns into ANT coming fresh off #RLTLK REACTIONS: THE COLOR PURPLE and falling so deep into the rabbit hole that he starts listening to the audiobook.

From there, ANT and REED get into women’s friendships, creator pet peeves, Black rage-baiting, Dr. Umar Johnson’s “Black Alphabet,” and REED’s think-piece about an alleged upcoming trucker strike.

Then a chance of racism turns into a full storm as the conversation somehow lands on what they’re calling “post-term abortions.”

VICTIM PTSD throws ANT and REED into four completely different crashes. The Crash Bros get into the Converse/Karina controversy, Donald Trump’s proposed $5,000 dividend, the psychology behind OnlyFans and future warfare, and Shaq receiving an honorary FBI Special Agent designation. Trump has publicly proposed the $5,000 payment contingent on Republicans retaining Congress. Shaq’s honorary FBI designation was announced in September.

SIDEBAR | FAIR ENOUGH starts with FAT LIVER JONES explaining the point of a Sweet 16 to BURBAN BOY REED before the conversation immediately goes somewhere else.

ANT and REED get into addiction, X Money and virtual currency, unsupervised kids, fast-food horror stories and why bad food can ruin your entire mood.

Then SIDEBAR takes the usual hard left.

The conversation moves through Ozempic lawsuits and drug recalls, a Detroit funeral-home nightmare involving a family being presented with the wrong body, and the question nobody expected to ask: what exactly is a naked dinner with the family?

From there, ANT and REED get into Converse pulling a controversial sneaker ad after backlash over imagery critics compared to the KKK and lynching, internet identity politics, Black family urban legends, whether America feels increasingly for sale, and somehow the importance of never skipping leg day. How did we get here?

REED opens the episode irritated by something completely unreasonable: PEOPLE ENJOYING THEMSELVES. Somehow that sends ANT into his appreciation for method acting—which turns into a serious conversation about studying your own performances, watching game tape, and treating podcasting like something you actually have to practice instead of just showing up and talking. Unexpectedly responsible. Don’t worry. It doesn’t last. Because now we’re talking about collaborating with other creators. Then the conversation swerves into the kind of content ANT somehow always finds himself watching. Then people who casually watch porn. Then a Reddit “AM I THE ASSHOLE?” thread. And somehow Boosie on 60 Minutes enters the room. Still following? Because eventually we get to a corrections officer who allegedly managed to lose her job, her dignity, AND end up labeled a sex offender. At this point, a respectable show would probably wrap things up. The Crash Out Bros asks: IS APPLE MAKING IT EASIER TO CHEAT?

THE SUPER CRASH BROS | A REDNECK SUMMER opens with CRASH CONSPIRACIES, where ANT and REED look at Australia’s expanding digital-safety rules and start asking the kind of question that immediately gets them in trouble: HOW FAR AWAY ARE WE FROM SOCIAL-CREDIT-STYLE CONTROL? Then CONTRARIAN VIEWS crashes into American politics. President Trump has proposed a $5,000 “Trump Dividend” for American adults if Republicans retain control of Congress—and ANT and REED immediately start arguing over what you call a campaign-season promise involving five grand. No agreement required. Next up, CONTRARIAN OR NOT brings in Keith Lee praising God—and suddenly the argument becomes less about faith and more about one simple question: CAN YOU PRAISE GOD WITHOUT READING THE ROOM? And because apparently we haven’t crashed hard enough yet…UNPOPULAR OPINION closes the show with Fat Joe defending his use of the N-word.
