Speaker 2: for mentioning. I too have a special August twentieth, it'll
Speaker 2: be available on Netflix. It's called Bad Poetry, and it's
Speaker 2: the best I could do. It's I don't know where
Speaker 2: it ranks in the scale of other specials, but it
Speaker 2: certainly is the best I could come up with and
Speaker 2: commit to. So I'd appreciate your viewership and watch David
Speaker 2: watch mine, and write us immediately afterwards and tell us
Speaker 2: how funny we are. And if you didn't feel that way,

Speaker 4: Maybe will you be my corona in line and I'll
Speaker 4: be your main squeeze there it is the Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 4: welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me.
Speaker 1: The podcast was trying to steep it in the bucket
Speaker 1: of black.
Speaker 3: And s.
Speaker 2: And we finally worked to prove the theories that you
Speaker 2: use the listener have at home.
Speaker 4: It's a mother fucking mini episode. You didn't like that one,
Speaker 4: you're not you're not a fan fucking Schwazy dag. Come on,
Speaker 4: that's kind damn it, that suck. That's awesome. Come on,
Speaker 4: that's a That song was the worst? You didn't like
Speaker 4: that song?
Speaker 1: You like?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's more ironic.
Speaker 1: That Yeah, it was like the line of the choke song. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it's not safe on my phone exactly, exactly, for sure,
Speaker 2: for sure. Yep, it's not on air.
Speaker 1: Nope, it's not a ring.
Speaker 2: That's not my wedding song at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you brought back say you brought back Ringtones for
Speaker 1: the ring back zones for the point of Shwez.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm big on Ringtones right now, and Shwayze's my
Speaker 2: my best one.
Speaker 1: Was there another song? Was there another Shwayzy song?
Speaker 2: I can't imagine there was another Schweaze song, But maybe
Speaker 2: I'm Triman. Maybe Schwazy had hits.
Speaker 1: I don't really even know why I remember that his
Speaker 1: name was Shwayzy.
Speaker 2: I don't know why either I didn't remember.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm the secret fan.
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe this whole time.
Speaker 1: WHOA wouldn't that be crazy? Yo? What if like this
Speaker 1: podcast and like years later from now people are like,
Speaker 1: did you know the fat dude? My mama told me?
Speaker 1: Also say the dunkskin one? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Crazy?
Speaker 1: But also Shwayze, if you're out there, we'd love to
Speaker 1: have you on.
Speaker 2: We'd love to have Shwayze on. That would be that'd
Speaker 2: be a dream to have on. And and ask him
Speaker 2: what else he did besides like Corona Lime song.
Speaker 1: I bet you he got enough money that now he
Speaker 1: makes the music he really wants to make. And that
Speaker 1: did make it sound like I'm Shwayzy.
Speaker 2: How I bet just moved into a nice apartment with
Speaker 2: his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it got dog.
Speaker 2: I bet sway has built a pretty good life for
Speaker 2: himself in Denver, Colorado. I think, all right, all right,
Speaker 2: we can't talk shway Ze.
Speaker 1: I mean, we could talk Shazy all day because he
Speaker 1: is us when we are him. But we have an email.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. I'm going to read it. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is from Berner. I don't know if that means
Speaker 1: it's it's from their burner email.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think it's from Uh they say their
Speaker 2: name at the bottom, so I think it's from Dred. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but yeah, I think he has a burner email because
Speaker 2: I guess we're pretty dangerous to communicate with.
Speaker 1: That's it. I would not want the people I work with.
Speaker 1: No I was sending emails to us.
Speaker 2: That's fair. Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Like every now and again we'll get an e edu
Speaker 1: email and you're like, damn you really.
Speaker 2: All Yeah, that's how I would live. But to each.
Speaker 1: One, all right, Dre says, what's up? Langston and Bory
Speaker 1: want to start by saying I bought Borys special and
Speaker 1: that shit was hilarious. Is the first time I'm seeing
Speaker 1: a grid arranged special? Well, say, it's so funny, like
Speaker 1: specializing in. I'm excited whatever lights cananticks away. As for
Speaker 1: my conspiracy, the white elite used luxury brands and high
Speaker 1: fashion to demolish black people's self image by incepting in
Speaker 1: us their beliefs of white supremacy. I believe that pretty good.
Speaker 1: I believe that America's obsession with name brands is rooted
Speaker 1: in its history of branding enslaved people. Damn, that's crazy.
Speaker 1: Slavers were burning their names into the flesh of our ancestors,
Speaker 1: and that cruder version of capitalism refined itself so that
Speaker 1: we now look for validation in the brand of the
Speaker 1: white man. Why do we brag about putting a pasts
Speaker 1: name on our bodies? Consider how many times you've been
Speaker 1: roasted or seen someone get roasted for wearing some friend shit. Brother,
Speaker 1: we have both brought up painful stories on that very thing.
Speaker 1: We uphold names like Chanel not a white man but
Speaker 1: a Nazi collaborator, Birdberry and some other ship. I'm too
Speaker 1: broke to know about it. I like this guy, I
Speaker 1: like this guy.
Speaker 2: Dre's like Chanelle, Birberry, the Rest.
Speaker 5: And Company, and the Rest eleven, all of them.
Speaker 1: Uh, he says, yeah, So Birdberry is some other shit
Speaker 1: I'm too broke to know about. Over ourselves and don't
Speaker 1: acknowledge that we're defaulting to whiteness is the benchmark for
Speaker 1: success and prestige. The white devil has many tricks, but
Speaker 1: none of them are new. What are y'all's thoughts on
Speaker 1: the matter. Love the Podcast by bitch, Dre. Wow, this
Speaker 1: was that was awesome. I really like what you're what
Speaker 1: you're putting down here, Dre. I think I think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of real logic to it. It feels true
Speaker 1: in some sense to me that that we are seeking
Speaker 1: this strange validation from sort of like or validation from
Speaker 1: having the white man's name on our chests and backs
Speaker 1: and butts and shit, and that's odd and willing to
Speaker 1: pay egregious prices for it, go broke for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when the quality is not higher. That's been proven time
Speaker 1: and time again. It's not better quality. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think when you get into the higher end shit, but
Speaker 1: like the ship rappers.
Speaker 2: Be wear in like no but even and I can't
Speaker 2: remember what brand it was so part of me for
Speaker 2: butchering this a little bit, but a very famous brand
Speaker 2: just got outed for having some thousand dollars item that
Speaker 2: they basically it showed that like the price of making
Speaker 2: it was like pennies on the dollar that they were
Speaker 2: charging it for that there was no logical explanation for
Speaker 2: the price beyond it just being the brand.
Speaker 1: I mean, if Ali Baba is to be believed, they
Speaker 1: all get their shit from the same four or five
Speaker 1: basic manufact like if you're getting a T shirt, it's
Speaker 1: from the same few, it's all the same shit. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that you hear this so many
Speaker 1: times where it's like, and that's the weird thing about
Speaker 1: fashion right where it's like, even even like Tommy Hillfliger
Speaker 1: has worked its way back into the culture and things
Speaker 1: like that, they weren't necessarily true, but the idea of that,
Speaker 1: like some of these these houses are just the age
Speaker 1: of them is what makes them timeless. And it feels
Speaker 1: like we are maybe not willing to adapt to something
Speaker 1: newer that could maybe reflect the culture more.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think a lot, and this is not to
Speaker 2: paint myself with some sort of hero I think a
Speaker 2: lot about where I jumped off of the Kanye train
Speaker 2: right specifically, it was during that era where he was
Speaker 2: yelling at Sway about the leather fucking pants and shit,
Speaker 2: the leather joggers and how nobody was appreciating sort of
Speaker 2: his innovation in the fashion space. And what made me
Speaker 2: so angry inside of it was and I know people
Speaker 2: love Yesus that album and talk about how great it was,
Speaker 2: but it felt so icky to me because it was
Speaker 2: just this black man being angry that he couldn't have
Speaker 2: access to whiteness, that like he wasn't being treated as
Speaker 2: a white emperor in these white spaces. And I think
Speaker 2: it what Dre is saying connects very or rings very
Speaker 2: true to what I felt then and continue to feel now,
Speaker 2: where it's like as much as I respect that, like
Speaker 2: some things just do look fly and like, spend whatever
Speaker 2: money you want to spend to look the way you
Speaker 2: want to look like. I don't think that we need
Speaker 2: to spend our lives like you only by bye black
Speaker 2: and if you got the white man clothes on you
Speaker 2: a prisoner, blah blah blah. But like we do have
Speaker 2: to reassess our logic a little bit. We're calling upon
Speaker 2: you because we have new merch. We have very exciting
Speaker 2: merch that we are now selling and it's it's fucking great.
Speaker 2: We love it so much.
Speaker 1: Just sleek, it's sexy.
Speaker 2: Come on, you want to tell them what we have?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have three different types of hats, which is
Speaker 1: really fun. We have a two tone hat, an alien
Speaker 1: dad hat, the traditional logo in black and khaki. Then
Speaker 1: we have the enamel pin with an alien who has
Speaker 1: a coofie on it. Since my mama told me, and
Speaker 1: then we have t shirts that say proud little Mama,
Speaker 1: which is who you are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can buy the merch now, go to my
Speaker 2: mama told me dot merch table dot com. It's a
Speaker 2: brand new name, but it's the same old merch and
Speaker 2: we would love for you to get if you haven't
Speaker 2: got it already, and we want you to have all
Speaker 2: the sweet stuff, so get it. I think we we
Speaker 2: as an a as consumers, owe it to ourselves more
Speaker 2: than anything to reassess why these brands are valuable to
Speaker 2: us and what the ownership of these items actually holds
Speaker 2: in our real lives.
Speaker 1: And also it's also I think one thing we have
Speaker 1: to be aware of is like it feels like with
Speaker 1: a lot of those aspirational brands, we're trying to buy
Speaker 1: our way withinto that lifestyle, right, And I think that
Speaker 1: like to speak to like like that Kanye West point
Speaker 1: where it's like he wasn't mad. He wasn't mad because
Speaker 1: he wasn't trying to sell us leather joggers. No, he
Speaker 1: wanted to be accepted by whatever that establishment was and
Speaker 1: service to them. And I understand that, but I do
Speaker 1: also get the idea of like, well, fuck you, that
Speaker 1: maybe we should, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's worth noting so much of
Speaker 2: Kanye's behavior is a reflection of mental illness more than
Speaker 2: it is like you know, the the I'm sure there's deep,
Speaker 2: deep self hatred inside of a lot of his choices too,
Speaker 2: but he's just a sick, sick man. So I don't
Speaker 2: know that it's it's as fair to be like fuck
Speaker 2: you Kanye on my behalf, not your behalf, but but
Speaker 2: it is. I do think his logic then periferated out
Speaker 2: to peripherate it is that that's I think we're going
Speaker 2: to do it.
Speaker 1: This is in a scholarly podcast, want Hey.
Speaker 2: His logic spread like a bitch out to a lot
Speaker 2: of other poorer people who then wanted to be able
Speaker 2: to feel validated by entering these white spaces and doing
Speaker 2: white shit. And it truly does feel icky when it
Speaker 2: is just for that purpose.
Speaker 1: Especially because like a lot of times, there are still tiers,
Speaker 1: even to those things like the luxury brands and things
Speaker 1: like that, there's still tears in the way that like
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos isn't wearing a shirt that says product on it, right, right,
Speaker 1: he's not wearing he's not wearing the Louis Vauton sports
Speaker 1: shirt that isn't blazz and huge on the chest.
Speaker 2: Bezos is. But that's a dude that got bullied into
Speaker 2: getting buff in his sixties, so which he's got his
Speaker 2: own shit going on. I take your point that, like
Speaker 2: a the elitist of elite are not focused on the
Speaker 2: brands the way that we are are branding ourselves, and
Speaker 2: it is sort of a trapping of poverty in a
Speaker 2: lot of ways. It is just four people in the
Speaker 2: same core.
Speaker 1: There's a whole thing about dressing called stealth will It's
Speaker 1: like a whole thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the Bill Gates wearing the same outfit every.
Speaker 1: Day, right right, right, and you don't realize because you're
Speaker 1: not up on it. But that hat is three hundred
Speaker 1: dollars even.
Speaker 6: Though it looks right. I watched a video of that's
Speaker 6: what I'm doing. I watched the video of one of
Speaker 6: those you know, those people on the street that be like,
Speaker 6: what you wearing? What you wearing?
Speaker 2: What tell you? Tell us what he got? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: I was watching those two. I feel weird when I
Speaker 2: watch him, but I do. I do find myself in
Speaker 2: little like sinkholes watching it's interesting you, But I watched
Speaker 2: one with Willem Dafoe on the street and he I'm
Speaker 2: a big fan of Willem Dafoe. Yeah you're the guy
Speaker 2: you taught me that. Yeah, little tiny guy. But but
Speaker 2: that said, huge talent, huge, huge talent. But Willem Dafoe
Speaker 2: did one of those and he had on what I
Speaker 2: would describe as a very ugly outfit. But it was
Speaker 2: like Prada jacket, fucking like Gucci this. It was like
Speaker 2: a lot of very high fashion, expensive items. But you
Speaker 2: can tell he just has had them for a really
Speaker 2: long time and has warned them to their end, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like he truly is just using
Speaker 2: it as utility more than just like, oh, an item
Speaker 2: that I've spent thousands of dollars on for no reason
Speaker 2: other than to look fly kind of thing.
Speaker 1: True? True? Have you ever have you ever found yourself
Speaker 1: having too many labels on it? Oncen't feeling weird? Yeah?
Speaker 2: When we were kids, we used to call it perpetrating
Speaker 2: when you had on like mismatched labels.
Speaker 1: Did man, he would have hated me in Chicago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we used to FOBU sock and echosocked on.
Speaker 2: You used to get eating a live if you had
Speaker 2: on like a fat Farm shirt and some Rockawar jeans, but.
Speaker 1: That was you couldn't I feel like you. I think
Speaker 1: it's okay, different pants and different ship, but like I
Speaker 1: would be sometimes yeah real crazy, yes, Like the jacket
Speaker 1: is different than the hoodie, is different than the pin,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? In that MATCHI machi shit though,
Speaker 1: now it makes you look like a loser.
Speaker 2: And that's the thing. We grew up in an era
Speaker 2: where I think brands were much more like you wouldn't
Speaker 2: buy a shirt if it wasn't branded in some way.
Speaker 2: And now I think the kids are a little more interested,
Speaker 2: or at least for a while, we're more interested in
Speaker 2: like things without labels, things that just sort of were
Speaker 2: like cool and like foreign looking, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And now it's sort of like it's working its way
Speaker 2: back to the way we dressed in the nineties and
Speaker 2: two thousands, where they're like, now, give me the biggest
Speaker 2: fucking logo you can imagine.
Speaker 1: Brother, it's my time to shine. I got I got
Speaker 1: all those hats with Chinese characters waiting in the attic.
Speaker 1: Just can't wait to.
Speaker 2: Did somebody say, uh, Evsugene.
Speaker 1: I wanted some though, did you have a vis I
Speaker 1: never had any. I wanted some, I wanted those. I
Speaker 1: wanted Mioshi bad.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, man, I wanted some babes.
Speaker 1: Babes wasn't even aspirational to me. It was I couldn't
Speaker 1: even really actually think about it. I was too far
Speaker 1: out of reach. How how am I going to get
Speaker 1: my hands on some babes?
Speaker 2: That's real.
Speaker 1: I didn't even see many in real life. I think
Speaker 1: I saw some bapes at Rock Island. Shout out to
Speaker 1: the eighteen and up club.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Dre, I think you're onto something. I think one
Speaker 2: hundred percent this feels very real that that there is
Speaker 2: a type of sort of like twisted ownership being created
Speaker 2: in us placing these brands on our bodies and and
Speaker 2: faces and shit. So so yes, this feels real to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. I love Drake. This might be
Speaker 1: the best email we've ever gotten together.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair. I certainly certainly the most
Speaker 2: well well phrased and thoughtful and not backhanded. Somewhere inside
Speaker 2: of it that hurts one of our feelings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, Dre, you really see us.
Speaker 2: And yeah, you're a beautiful person, Dre, and we pray, uh,
Speaker 2: we pray for prosperity and nice Birdberry shirts for you
Speaker 2: and yours.
Speaker 1: I did. I have thought many times that I could
Speaker 1: be a Burberry guy. And I was cleaning out my
Speaker 1: old apartment because I have my girlfriend together, and I
Speaker 1: actually found an I'm what I'm pretty sure is a
Speaker 1: half a bottle of fake Burberry clown.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so I tried to make it work. It's
Speaker 2: been fermenting for a while. Let's see what that smells like. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a vintage ninety seven swap me small batch. All right,
Speaker 2: you want to tell the people where they can and
Speaker 2: what cool shit you got going on?
