Speaker 1: Motherfucking mini episode. Mini episode, motherfucking mini episode.
Speaker 2: What would you do if your son was at home
Speaker 2: crying all alone on the bedroom floor because he's hungry?
Speaker 2: There it is, there, it is. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome
Speaker 2: to another phenomenal episode, a mini episode of My Mama
Speaker 2: Told Me.
Speaker 3: The podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of
Speaker 3: black conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2: And we finally worked to prove the conspiracy theories that you,
Speaker 2: the listener, the little mamas and gentiles alike have at home.
Speaker 2: This is a motherfucking mini episode.
Speaker 4: Would have been swallowed up? Have you ever been swallowed up?
Speaker 4: Have you gone through a time of swallowing where everything
Speaker 4: was overwhelmed?
Speaker 2: You know what's upsetting about that one is the visuals.
Speaker 2: It's so long. Yeah, it's so long. It won't stop,
Speaker 2: and it's like, bro, you gotta stop.
Speaker 3: But as someone who's been in flow state before, like
Speaker 3: you see it when you're like yep, that's how if
Speaker 3: you're like that, like when you just can't miss so
Speaker 3: you're just going crazy.
Speaker 2: It was cooking too hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done it, cause you probably had sets like
Speaker 3: that where you're like, oh, I could say anything and
Speaker 3: it's gonna work. Yeah, I'm going nuts, you know.
Speaker 2: No, there are times, and it's the reason I despise
Speaker 2: the crowd work clips that that our art form has
Speaker 2: sort of devolved into. But there are times when you're
Speaker 2: like engaging with an audience in such a funny, sincere
Speaker 2: way that it it goes on for like minutes, like
Speaker 2: I kind.
Speaker 3: Of where you're like, oh shit, that riff was fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a long ass time. And that's not cutable,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like, that's not a thing
Speaker 2: that you can chop up and make into like a
Speaker 2: thing you offer up to an audience.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's why you don't ever trust a five
Speaker 3: second crowd work clip. It's not real. Yeah it wasn't
Speaker 3: that funny.
Speaker 2: They had a big laugh and then it stopped really fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I didn't know how to keep going. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 2: it was like somebody said, one interesting thing. Anyways, we're
Speaker 2: not here to talk about Stu' it's thinks and the
Speaker 2: art that I love has uh has become something that
Speaker 2: I barely recognize. But that's not the point of this podcast.
Speaker 2: This podcast, especially today, we are we're talking to you
Speaker 2: the listener. We're reading your emails. We're engaging with your thoughts,
Speaker 2: your suggestions. And we got an email from a person
Speaker 2: named Aliyah l I y a h just like the
Speaker 2: singer got you personality, mentality a man. Anyways, I miss
Speaker 2: her too, she was great. We all miss her.
Speaker 3: Nothing nothing I wish they had anyways. I just sometimes
Speaker 3: I feel like somebody needed to take care of that
Speaker 3: little girl, like you know, yeah, she was like bounched
Speaker 3: around to a lot of men. It feels like dark. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I think that's one hundred percent true of a
Speaker 2: person who who maybe needed somebody just to look out
Speaker 2: for in a way that that she never really got
Speaker 2: by the end of it.
Speaker 3: So you want to read an email, No.
Speaker 2: Let's just have them the silence. Let's just stood in
Speaker 2: that feeling for a second.
Speaker 3: Two seconds too later, Sorry, that's okay.
Speaker 2: We got an email from a person named Aliah who
Speaker 2: sent us as subject line Satan's Yoga. Satan's Yoga, She says, Hi,
Speaker 2: David and length and longtime listener back again with another conspiracy.
Speaker 2: This one actually comes from my grandmother, a Southern black
Speaker 2: woman who later in life became a Jehovah's witness. One
Speaker 2: day later, in life. She started that shit later in life,
Speaker 2: that makes more sense.
Speaker 3: In starting it earlier in life, Like, you can't convert
Speaker 3: to Jehovah's witness in like your mid twenties.
Speaker 2: I don't picture early in life being your mid twenty conversions.
Speaker 2: I picture early in your life, meaning you grew up
Speaker 2: in the Jehovah. Oh but she converted, she said, right,
Speaker 2: And I'm saying that converting to Jehovah's witness is a
Speaker 2: silly thing.
Speaker 3: You've already had some birthdays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what Christmas feels like?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go.
Speaker 2: Are you shifting back for.
Speaker 3: Taking that away from your children? You monster? Yeah?
Speaker 2: No, that's that's an odd fucking choice. So you want
Speaker 2: to go door to door? Okay?
Speaker 3: Anyways, those shit. Your grandma's a sweet woman, earliah or Ns.
Speaker 2: I don't know hard to say the but I'm leaning
Speaker 2: towards the latter.
Speaker 3: One man's cuckoo is another man's cocoa puffs.
Speaker 2: One day, after watching a commercial about yoga clothes, she
Speaker 2: went on a rant about how doing yoga is evil
Speaker 2: and if you meditate, you will mess around and open
Speaker 2: up your mind so much you will let satan in.
Speaker 2: I understood her to mean meditating can be a pathway
Speaker 2: to connect with Satan. Similarly, how praying is a way
Speaker 2: to connect with God. I grew up going to church
Speaker 2: as well as the Kingdom Hall. So I am conflicted.
Speaker 2: I believe in spirits and have an ancestor alter myself.
Speaker 2: So just as there is a way to channel the
Speaker 2: good spirits, there has to be a way to channel
Speaker 2: the bad ones. I'm interested in hearing what you guys
Speaker 2: think best.
Speaker 3: Aliah, Well, Aliah, I think you're a witch, and I
Speaker 3: rebuke thee in the name of the One True Lord. No,
Speaker 3: I think that. So here's what I don't like about this, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: the idea of like, if you meditate or you do yoga,
Speaker 3: you're gonna open your mind so much. So that's what
Speaker 3: like I don't like. It's like, I don't like the
Speaker 3: idea that an open mind is what leads to the devil.
Speaker 3: That means God wants you to have a closed mind.
Speaker 3: That means he's like reductive as fuck and does not
Speaker 3: want you to open you up to whatever your true
Speaker 3: potential is. He doesn't want you to be free. And
Speaker 3: that's not like the God. If that that's not like
Speaker 3: a God. I'm trying to.
Speaker 2: Say, right, a god that encourages you to sort of
Speaker 2: live in a bubble is not a god that you
Speaker 2: you recognize.
Speaker 3: Well, just like, yeah, any type of like don't open
Speaker 3: your mind is a great Like really think about what
Speaker 3: you're saying within that. That's like, that's terrible. Nobody okay,
Speaker 3: nobody ever leave your small town. Don't never try to
Speaker 3: do something that no one in your family did, Like,
Speaker 3: don't ever push for anything. Then you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: don't open your mind. That's fucking that's like, that's that's trash.
Speaker 3: I don't think that God is like that. I don't
Speaker 3: think the God of Abraham, I don't. I don't know
Speaker 3: if that is what he's pushing.
Speaker 2: I will say that that I myself read this to
Speaker 2: mean something slightly different, although I do agree with your
Speaker 2: sentiment that that if this is about just sort of
Speaker 2: keeping people closed minded, then that feels reductive and not
Speaker 2: at all like a progress or even a love that
Speaker 2: is suggested to be shared by the God above us.
Speaker 2: Whatever that said, I thought about my relationship with like spirits,
Speaker 2: and in a lot of ways this tracts for me
Speaker 2: of like I don't fuck around with Ouiji boards. I
Speaker 2: don't fuck around with like haunted houses, like genuine haunted houses.
Speaker 2: I'll go to a place one whatever.
Speaker 3: But what what do you mean by that? What do
Speaker 3: you mean by jet you at haunted houses?
Speaker 2: Like you know how like some people will be like, oh,
Speaker 2: this hotel is haunted, we should stay there. I wha
Speaker 2: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're very serious right now?
Speaker 2: Like no, no, no, I will not, and I will choose.
Speaker 2: I have the resources to choose differently, and I will
Speaker 2: like I don't need that feeling, and I'm not interested
Speaker 2: in exploring it just because it's like novel or cute, right.
Speaker 3: But you'll go to like a haunted house, like.
Speaker 2: Like a silly one where I know adults are being
Speaker 2: paid minimum wage to hide around a corner with chainsaws
Speaker 2: that don't work properly.
Speaker 3: Because I went to one of those. Me and my
Speaker 3: girl went to one of those over at Halloween and
Speaker 3: that was fun.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a good time.
Speaker 3: I was like, they try to play me. They try
Speaker 3: to play me a little bit. What happened? Man? So
Speaker 3: we went to the haunted house and then there was
Speaker 3: like if you pay like an extra, they like take
Speaker 3: you to a secret bar in there and give you
Speaker 3: a shot during the Haunted House. Oh so we went.
Speaker 3: We went, and we went to the secret bar and
Speaker 3: this nigga bro he was pouring drinks and he poured
Speaker 3: my girl on. He poured me when he was like,
Speaker 3: he looks scared of how I'm not scared though.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he thought he could cook you a little bit.
Speaker 3: He was trying to cook me. Yeah. Oh, she looks
Speaker 3: like you was scared of us. It's the children's playhouse.
Speaker 2: I look like I'm not about to tipyo ass. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I look like I.
Speaker 3: Don't work at the fucking fucking hearted House because I
Speaker 3: can't make child support. That's what I look like. I
Speaker 3: looked like I fucking took an Uber black. Here you broke, boys,
Speaker 3: I didn't drove.
Speaker 2: I say, why why are you taking uber blacks.
Speaker 3: I've actually never taken an uber black. I was trying
Speaker 3: to impress you guys.
Speaker 2: No it worked, I thought, but no, I I try
Speaker 2: not to mess around with sort of like dark spirits
Speaker 2: and ghosts and all kinds of things out of fear
Speaker 2: that I do think it welcomes some of that into
Speaker 2: your world. That like, if you go seeking that shit,
Speaker 2: you will find something. Even if that's something you find,
Speaker 2: it's just made up in your own head. And so
Speaker 2: in that way, I recognize what she's saying to simply
Speaker 2: mean like seek it and you shall find it in
Speaker 2: both good and bad ways. Now, why the fuck yoga
Speaker 2: is her her passion for where Satan is lurking?
Speaker 3: I have no idea. Here's what I'm gonna say. Yep,
Speaker 3: this is I've lived among the woos, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. I live in San Francisco, Big Witch Country,
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, also big Witch Country. If you're far away
Speaker 3: and you don't quite know, I understand how these yoga
Speaker 3: ladies and men could seem like they were into some
Speaker 3: evil shit, you know what I mean, just like glancing
Speaker 3: and being like, what are they doing over here? They're
Speaker 3: dressed all wacky, they're burning sage and shit like it
Speaker 3: could feel like some witchcraft for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say that that to that point with
Speaker 2: dog that that ain't doggy style.
Speaker 3: I know you that when I come from dogs stand
Speaker 3: up right.
Speaker 2: They shake your hand like like a man.
Speaker 3: If you and I.
Speaker 2: Will say that to that point, A lot of what
Speaker 2: yoga is in America is just a sort of like
Speaker 2: cherry picking of other people's cultural identities and like their
Speaker 2: actual spirituality. And so in that way, it does feel
Speaker 2: like sort of a false manipulation of spirituality, right that,
Speaker 2: like the ship that we recognize as yoga is not
Speaker 2: what they were doing when Indians invented the ship, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean. It's just some some ship that
Speaker 2: like some white women took and then like decided to
Speaker 2: take some words and leave some words behind in certain poses. Yes,
Speaker 2: certain ones know and that that is not not sort
Speaker 2: of like fucking around with spirituality in a in a
Speaker 2: messed up way.
Speaker 3: I think it does lead to this whole idea of like,
Speaker 3: that's why I don't like people when they say they're
Speaker 3: just I'm spiritual, because it's like pick a discipline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, you gotta commit.
Speaker 3: Commit to something you're loosey goosey, then you might as
Speaker 3: well just be agnostic. Like what does that mean? I
Speaker 3: think this could be true and that you need rules.
Speaker 3: There needs to be some sort of rules. It is.
Speaker 2: It is the one part of the Bible more than
Speaker 2: any other part that I think I most connect with
Speaker 2: where it talks about God not wanting you to be lukewarm.
Speaker 2: That like a lukewarm person is maybe the worst person
Speaker 2: you could be. That you got to be hot or cold.
Speaker 2: Either believe in something or don't believe in something. But
Speaker 2: like kind of fucking around in the middle is like
Speaker 2: danger rus and frankly just condescending to the fundamentals of
Speaker 2: the actual belief.
Speaker 3: Don't stand for anything for something, Yeah, don't stand for something.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't get it right for me twice. You
Speaker 2: can't fool me again.
Speaker 3: I'd rather live on my feet than stand on my knees.
Speaker 2: I was getting some head, some head, not if.
Speaker 3: You buck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you gotta believe in something. And so
Speaker 2: for a Leah's grandmother, I think in some ways she's like, well,
Speaker 2: these people are being lukewarm spiritual, sort of like cherry pickers,
Speaker 2: and I don't like that, and that seems like that's
Speaker 2: of the devil, that is of Satan, and so I rejected,
Speaker 2: all yeah, I think that's yeah. So so I don't
Speaker 2: agree per se that like Aliah, if it makes you
Speaker 2: feel better, I think you can do as much yoga
Speaker 2: as you want. I don't think the devil sitting on
Speaker 2: a mat being like yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: I think that that's exactly what I think. He's doing.
Speaker 2: I think he's hanging out in yoga studio.
Speaker 3: I think he's just watching ladies bendover.
Speaker 2: That's the case. You're only selling me on the devil.
Speaker 3: I think he's got a toothpick.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, oh somebody's limba.
Speaker 3: Look at child's probably should.
Speaker 5: Don't look like no child to me, Like they're like
Speaker 5: grown woman posed like how women supposed to be.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what the devil is doing. And if that's
Speaker 2: the case, I think more of us should be worshiping
Speaker 2: the devil because he sounds like a cool guy. And
Speaker 2: then I'm into him.
Speaker 3: Is gone sixty. I'm sucking it up now. I did
Speaker 3: a spin move? Have you ever done a spin on
Speaker 3: the dance floor?
Speaker 2: When I was a when I was in high school,
Speaker 2: I was a dancing ass kid, and so yeah.
Speaker 3: I used to do.
Speaker 2: I used to do, and now as an adult, I
Speaker 2: couldn't possibly. I can't even imagine attempting.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't imagine. That would be crazy. It would
Speaker 3: be cool, it would.
Speaker 2: It would be cool, But you know, I live with
Speaker 2: a constant fear that it won't work.
Speaker 3: Now it doesn't Like if you try to commit to
Speaker 3: a spin and it doesn't work. I Yeah, that'd be bad.
Speaker 3: It's like you're dancing with your wife or something.
Speaker 2: It can only ruin my family. Yeah, is it like,
Speaker 2: is it that you worry that you would fall down?
Speaker 2: I worry about it all. I worry that that I
Speaker 2: would fall down. I worry that I don't even make
Speaker 2: it the full three sixty and and now I'm just
Speaker 2: a dude who tried something and it failed, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like there's just so much vulnerability and
Speaker 2: when people are counting on you, that.
Speaker 3: You how you feel about the dance? Yeah, like.
Speaker 2: There's mother fuckers counting on me.
Speaker 3: Man, my baby needs me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my baby just needs me to keep being consistent.
Speaker 2: I can't. And now and now I could go viral.
Speaker 2: Imagine imagine your father going viral because he tried to
Speaker 2: do a spin move and it didn't work at.
Speaker 3: The JFL after party.
Speaker 2: Come on, and now everybody's like, bro, and my daughter's
Speaker 2: going to school and they're making fun of her because
Speaker 2: because father failed.
Speaker 3: That's that's fair.
Speaker 2: People are counting on me. I can't risk it.
Speaker 3: No, I listen. I also am conservative on the dance floor,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I'm a Biden in the streets.
Speaker 3: But I'm a trump in the.
Speaker 2: Ship there there that there was that run where where
Speaker 2: that those kids were doing that sideways moonwalk that like
Speaker 2: airwalk ship.
Speaker 3: Oh the usher usher is the first.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well no, not that sideways moonwalk. That one I
Speaker 2: learned to do when I was in high school. I
Speaker 2: could still do that ship sidewalk moon walk walk. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm talking about that ship where where you're like they're
Speaker 2: like skipping sideways.
Speaker 3: Oh, that one's fun. Yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 2: The amount of times I practiced that alone in my
Speaker 2: home and realize, like, I don't think I'm in a
Speaker 2: position to take this into a public space and be successful. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because that.
Speaker 3: One seems easier than the sideways movement. It is not.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's just so unnatural to the way that
Speaker 2: I move that I don't think I've ever figured out
Speaker 2: a way to make it not look like it's Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just you look gumpy and fucking weird or you
Speaker 2: look awesome, And I don't know that I ever looked awesome,
Speaker 2: So I chose never.
Speaker 3: To bring it out. Yeah, I tried to learn the
Speaker 3: sneeze or m the same thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just gotta you gotta realize, like these l's
Speaker 2: are not worth taking after a while. When I was
Speaker 2: when I was fifteen, if I didn't do a move good,
Speaker 2: So you know what I mean? Like, what are the
Speaker 2: repercussions here?
Speaker 3: Wait? Can I ask you a series question? Yeah? Have
Speaker 3: you ever been in a dance battle?
Speaker 2: I'm in many a dance battle. Yeah, this might be
Speaker 2: its own episode. Okay, do you have footage? I hope not.
Speaker 2: I hope there's no lingering footage of any dance battles
Speaker 2: I was in. I pre you know, Thank god, I
Speaker 2: think we predated camera phones.
Speaker 3: What was the group called?
Speaker 2: No, I wasn't in like group dance battles. I was
Speaker 2: like dance battles at like parties and ship Oh excuse me,
Speaker 2: that would be way Lane. Yeah, excuse me. I wasn't assembling.
Speaker 3: I wasn't in a group.
Speaker 2: I was rogue.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I was a fucking highlander. Baby.
Speaker 3: Did you have a dance name?
Speaker 2: No? I didn't have a fucking dance name. I was
Speaker 2: just a cool dude who at a party. If it
Speaker 2: will happen, I will pop in the middle. And then
Speaker 2: another dude. There was this kid that in my high
Speaker 2: school named dom Pary young. I wish I was making.
Speaker 3: This up specific to be a lot.
Speaker 2: Don Barry he would constantly, you know, the circle would
Speaker 2: happen and he would get in and he'd be popping
Speaker 2: and ship, and then I would get in and I
Speaker 2: would popping me and Don would go back and forth. Damn,
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think I ever had
Speaker 2: the flexibility for doing back bends and ship. But I
Speaker 2: ate his heart sometimes. Yeah, I'd eat his heart. I
Speaker 2: pop from the bottom and pass it up and go
Speaker 2: back down and snatch his heart and then put it
Speaker 2: in my own chest.
Speaker 3: And wow, you're a wild guy.
Speaker 2: Na I lived a life man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's very interesting. We'll get more into that.
Speaker 2: We'll get more into that.
Speaker 3: Do you have pictures?
Speaker 2: I hope, David, I hope there's no documentation of this
Speaker 2: period in my life.
Speaker 3: Lil Mama's. If you guys could, let's see if I'm
Speaker 3: hoping we could find someone who battled you. If you
Speaker 3: guys know Dom y'all and he's in the Chicago Land area.
Speaker 2: I don't think he left anyway.
Speaker 3: Please, we gotta get him on. We gotta get him on.
Speaker 3: I would love to hear an oral history of these things.
Speaker 3: Don was a great answer.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I want any of the you know,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't call myself the champion of those battles, but
Speaker 2: he I was. I was honored to be a partisan.
Speaker 2: But you got in a ring, you know, I got
Speaker 2: in the ring. But yeah, I think to the larger
Speaker 2: question at hand, I fear the evil spirits enough that
Speaker 2: I am willing to cut myself off from certain activities.
Speaker 2: And I recognize that if you are a a stringent
Speaker 2: God fearing woman so much so that you're willing to
Speaker 2: join the Jehovah's witnesses later in life, then you probably
Speaker 2: are afraid of a lot of things that seem vaguely spiritual,
Speaker 2: I e. Yoga and poses and whatnot. Beads, beads, sure, yeah,
Speaker 2: white women with sage. That's not a good combination.
Speaker 3: Jade, come on, get it.
Speaker 2: Get that jade out of your goddamn vaginas and put
Speaker 2: it back in the earth where it belongs.
Speaker 3: Take that jade out of your pusses.
Speaker 2: That's the name of the episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we did it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I think we covered it all.
