Speaker 1: to another phenomenal Many episode. That's right, bitch, We're back

4
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: with the many episodes of My Mama Told Me, the

5
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of

6
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: black conspiracy theories and we finally worked to prove the

7
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: theories that you, the listeners have at home. Let me

8
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: tell you something, people, it has been a long time

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: since I sucked around with your your opinions and your thoughts,

10
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: you you dirty scoundrels at home. But guess what, My

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: time is finally unloosed itself from so many other obligations,

12
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: including raising a child and and putting how Cool television programs?

13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: And I'm finally able to to dig back into your bullshit.

14
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: And I'm so excited because you guys, you guys are

15
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: filled with bullshit, Oh so much bullshit you've sent me

16
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: in the time since I've had a chance to to

17
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: read and unpack your bullshit and and boil boys, it's

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: shittier than ever, you know, so much so that I thought,

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I thought that this episode. This is

20
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit of an extended many episode,

21
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: a novella, if you will, of many episodes. It's that

22
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: in between stage between a novel and in a short story.

23
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: I think that's what a novella is. It's either that

24
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: are just a novel in Spanish, and if that's the case,

25
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: I apologize to my Latino listeners. That was not my

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 1: intention to uh, to short change your contributions to novels

27
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: as a whole. Either way, this is gonna be a

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: little bit of an extended mini episode because I have

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: taken the time to read through some of the listener emails,

30
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: and we have quite a few exciting ones. But some

31
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: of them often, and this happens more often than you

32
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: would think, some of them come to me and they

33
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: are how how do we say politely, uh nonsense. They're

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: absolutely uh. They're mostly unintelligible pieces of information. And sometimes

35
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: they are very intelligible, and you guys are very thoughtful

36
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: in your and your explanations of things, but they they

37
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: are truly unresearchable pieces of I guess, uh conspiracy right

38
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 1: like like it is truly just an opinion you have

39
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: or a thing that you're putting out in the world

40
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: and I I got a brestle with it all the same,

41
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: and I figured, what what better way to enjoy this episode? This?

42
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: This extended many episode than to to talk through with

43
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: some of the listener emails that that have confounded me

44
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: or given me pause or at least made me think, Hey,

45
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk to do with this,

46
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: and and there are so many cool ones, and I'm

47
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: not gonna hold us up anymore. I've I'd love to start.

48
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Here's a fun one to just start with. This is

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: This is one of my favorite emails that I've gotten recently.

50
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: This this email comes from a person named Matt. Matt

51
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: sent me an email Matt k uh. If that boils

52
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: it down, I know there are a lot of maps

53
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: out there and mostly white. But the the Matt k

54
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: who sent me this email starts off and I'll never

55
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: forget it. He starts off and he says, Lamar, you're

56
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: He says Lamar. He calls me Lamar. I believe he's

57
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: speaking to me, and he says, your episode De Signy

58
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: is caucasun for Slavery was so much fun. Thank you.

59
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: I love the way you reveal the failures of the

60
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory mindset and acknowledge. Hey, racism is real, it's everywhere,

61
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: and it's bullshit, so cut it out, thirsty whites. I

62
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: hope that your podcast is signaling a new era in

63
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: in USA where people they're not the USA, in USA,

64
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: where people just take a breath, recognize racism, classism, classism

65
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: spelled incorrectly, I think, and all forms of GPS general

66
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: prejudice shit. Please give me credit for that joke. You

67
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: got it, Matt, I assure you I don't want credit

68
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 1: for it, and start acting right. He says, uh, well

69
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: as as a newly dubbed Lamar Matt, I, I I

70
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: mean this genuinely. Please stop listening to my podcast. I

71
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: hate you with all my heart. Matt. How dare you

72
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: after I guess pretty eloquently breaking down what I I

73
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: guess I'm doing on the podcast, although I don't know

74
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 1: that that's my intention, I'm mostly just saying silly billy ship.

75
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: But the fact that you're so eloquently able to break

76
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: this down but also still unable to learn my name,

77
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: which is in the title of the podcast, means that

78
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: there's nothing we could bond over. Matt. Truly, even if

79
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: we heal racism, You and I will be at odds

80
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 1: and I'll start a war to make sure that you

81
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: are ended in the race. War. Even if you and

82
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: even if the rest of us were able to survive,

83
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: I'll never forgive you for what you've done. Met you're

84
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: dead to me, and thank you for subscribing. Well, See,

85
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: this is the fun. This is why we this is

86
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: why we we do this. Here's another fun one. Let

87
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: me make sure I'm pulling this one up correctly. Oh,

88
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: here's one. Here's a fun one. This is a this

89
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: is actually a really fun one that that I I

90
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: don't know how to handle, but I'm excited to talk

91
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: about this. This message comes from me, or comes to me,

92
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: rather from a person named Jordan's. Jordan's sent me a

93
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: message and he said, Hey, Lankston, he knows my name.

94
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: That's why I funk with Jordan's. That's that's immediately where

95
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: I go. I'm a Jordan's fan. When he starts off

96
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: by saying hey Lankston and not calling me Lamar, I

97
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: immediately say my kind of fucking guy. Now, whether Jordan's

98
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: stays that way is are to know. I haven't finished

99
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: the email yet, but right from the beginning. I'm like,

100
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: I funk with this, dude. Let's find out more about Jordan.

101
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: Jordan's said, Hey, Lenks, than, first of all, your show

102
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: was one of the things that's been getting me through

103
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: the pandemic. I'm sorry to hear that you should wear

104
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: a mask. That's what got me through the pandemic. But anyway,

105
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 1: he says, so thank you for that. I'm always looking

106
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: forward to each week's episode to hear your hot take

107
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: and the hilarious and often insightful conversations you have with

108
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: your guests. You even inspired my friend and I to

109
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: start our own podcast, White People Won't Save You Drops

110
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: and all. That's the part I don't like Jordan's. I

111
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: don't like inspiring other people's art. I'll be honest with you.

112
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: When I hear that somebody sees me do a thing

113
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: and then they go I could do that thing, I'd

114
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: be like, I should fucking die. I need to kill

115
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: me in them this is not okay. If you listen

116
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: to me and you go, fig I could handle what

117
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: he's putting down, then then I have failed as an artist.

118
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: And frankly, it makes me, it makes me hate everything

119
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,280
Speaker 1: about myself. But I'm glad your podcast seems to be

120
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: doing well, Jordan, and I am glad you've you've incorporated

121
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: qualities of what we got going here. Anyways, he says,

122
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to see if you had any pull with

123
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: a black illuminati because I discovered something recently that I

124
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: still can't believe. I was reading an article about one

125
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Broadrick Stephen Harvey Senior, and I got sucked into this

126
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: conversation about him being balked since before the Steve Harvey

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Show days, basically that the hairline was never real, but

128
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: it was also the standard black hairline for like all

129
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: of the nineties. This man was gaslighting us with a

130
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: fake lineup for decades, allegedly going as far as never

131
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: being filmed from behind on the Steve Harvey Show. Now,

132
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: trying to look into this, I've only been able to

133
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: find some sketchy websites. In a photo on a message

134
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: board showing him with the bald spot at the Apollo,

135
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: my girlfriend's dad claims never believed his hair was real,

136
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: and my dad says he thought something was off. Steve

137
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: claims he went bald because he got tired of getting

138
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: his hair cut every week. But I'm not buying that.

139
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: Please get to the bottom of this. Black men need

140
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: to be free from his lives. Thank you, thanks, he says. Jordan's. Now,

141
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: first of all, the if we're gonna unpack this email

142
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: and it's it's a lovely email, Jordan's, there's not a

143
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: lot of research I can offer you. I think you

144
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: already mentioned that the the the bulk of the things

145
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: that you wint up finding come from sketchy websites, and

146
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, that's mostly where I find

147
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: my information. So I'm surprised that that wasn't satisfactory to you.

148
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: I often go on the the most dot Nettie place

149
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: that I can find, and I pushed that out into

150
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: the world as truth. So if that's not good enough

151
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: for you, then you obviously have learned nothing from my podcast.

152
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: And I imagine that your podcast is gonna fail a

153
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: miserable death because you are not retaining the best qualities

154
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: of what makes on since good nonsense. Now to your

155
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: larger question. To me, the most devastating part of all

156
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: of Steve Harvey's history is that this nigga's first name

157
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: is Broderick. Do you know what I mean? Like, what

158
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: the funck happened there that they were like, they looked

159
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: at that, at that man, and they were like, this

160
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: is a this is a Broderick, and we he's and

161
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: he's been lying to us about that ship this whole time.

162
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: If Broderick would have fucked up reading the cards for

163
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Miss America, I get it. I go, yup, Broderick, that's

164
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: a Broderick asked move to to get the wrong winner

165
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 1: for this competition. But Steve does it. I'm disappointed in Steve.

166
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: It lets me down. Steve is a is a decent man,

167
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: a hard working man. Broderick that's a fun nigga, and

168
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: that he's been a fun nigga this whole time, and

169
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: he doesn't want us to know it. I guess that's

170
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Broderick Stephen Harvey, and you guessed it.

171
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: It's spelled. It's spelled with that pa. It's not even

172
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: the coolest Stephen that that we all agree on as

173
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: a as a culture. It's it's a real Brodrick Steph Harvey.

174
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. That's that's what he's kicking

175
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: around up there, and we're just pretending like it's okay.

176
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: Now to the question of him being bald. I have

177
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: heard that for decades. Actually I did hear that the

178
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: entire time that we were sitting there. And if you're

179
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: a black man in America, you know this feeling. We

180
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: all used to look at Steve Harvey's hairline as our

181
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: as our barbershop North Star as it were, do you

182
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: know what I mean? We would all go and we'd

183
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: look at Steve Harvey like if we could, if my

184
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: barber could just be as precise and whatever as whatever

185
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey is offering up, then then maybe there there

186
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: could be some good for me and for all black

187
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: people in the world. Because truly, Steve Harvey through the

188
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: the nineties and two thousands had in early two thousands,

189
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: he quit pretty early in the two thousand's, but nineties

190
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: through the two thousands, perfect fucking hairline, flawless, chef kiss

191
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 1: and the chef making grits. It was a perfect goddamn hairline.

192
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: And then out of nowhere, Steve Harvey showed up in

193
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: a in a special not cussing. He decided he had

194
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: found God, he wasn't gonna cust no more, and he

195
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: was completely bald, and I, for one was devastated. I said, oh,

196
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: my god, if this could happen to Steve Harvey, a

197
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: man who showed no signs of of balding in any way,

198
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: shape or form, could suddenly lose everything, then it could

199
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: happen to me. It could happen to you, you know, you,

200
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: the listener at home, you, Jordan's, any any of us

201
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: could suffer what's happening to Steve Harvey. And so I

202
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: was devastated. And then I spoke to some professionals, some

203
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: some therapists, some barbershop therapists specifically, but I probably should

204
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: have kicked it around with an actual therapist, and given

205
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: how a devast aided I was, but I spoke to

206
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: these barbershop therapists and they began telling me this exact conspiracy,

207
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: that it was in fact a wig the entire time

208
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: on the Steve Harvey Show, which would make sense because

209
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: we never want saw any signs of new growth. It's

210
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: not the getting seeing it from the back that concerns me.

211
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know that we can prove that. In fact,

212
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: I think based on TV rules, it's almost impossible for

213
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: them to have shot an entire television show a three

214
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: cameras that come without ever seeing Steve Harvey from the back.

215
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert, but I don't think that that's possible.

216
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: But what I can tell you is that we never

217
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: saw any signs. There was never even an episode where

218
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey's hair was growing back in a little bit.

219
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's because this man had been bald

220
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: the entire time. Now where it becomes concerning is we

221
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: are reaching a generation, a new wave societally where we

222
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: don't get to make fun of him for that anymore.

223
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: Right that, like hair restoration for black men, has become

224
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: now a relatively popular thing. It's the thing that circulates

225
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: all throughout the community. In fact, I know a gentleman,

226
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: a very funny comedian, very talented man named Brian Babylon,

227
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: who I've had very vocal, enraged arguments with because he's

228
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: a wig wear He's a man who travels around the

229
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: city and country, mind you, wearing going from bald to

230
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: to high top fade at at a moment's notice. And

231
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: it makes me furious because I know if you lose

232
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: your hair. And this is something I believe quite passionately,

233
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: and this has nothing to do with conspiracy theory. It

234
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: truly is just something I'm willing to uh to take

235
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: to Congress. Let's get these gun problems solved, and then

236
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: let's take this This is number two on the slots.

237
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I want no more dead children.

238
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: And then right after this, this is this is number

239
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: two my for me. If you lose your hair, you

240
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: lost your fucking hair, it's over. Let the ship go,

241
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 1: it's done. Get to know you in a different form,

242
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: except that life takes its turns and and fate has

243
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: chosen you to be a member of the bald community.

244
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: Learned to to get your scalp greased, learned to get

245
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: your your head shaved. And let's move on with our lives.

246
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: Let's stop this fucking lie that that so many people

247
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: have have offered us of of salvation through hair restoration.

248
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: And Steve Harvey is a part of the problem. And

249
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: then he's been a part of the problem in a

250
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: few ways so over the years. But this one, this

251
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: one specifically, it rubs me wrong. I don't like it.

252
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: I like how Steve Harvey dresses. And I hope someday

253
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: to uh to dress like a night nurse. Uh, like

254
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: an old sexy night nurse, the way that Steve Harvey

255
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: does But but as it is right now, think Steve

256
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Harvey is making a very terrible mistake and he's short

257
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: changing the the the bald community by pretending that this

258
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: was just a voluntary choice for him, that he just

259
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: decided to shave it off because it was hot. No, motherfucker,

260
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: we know, we know what happened you. You lost it.

261
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: You lost it years and years ago when you maintained

262
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: it and you worked a great career. So let's let's

263
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: enjoy ourselves, Steve Harvey, you know what I mean. Let's

264
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: be honest with each other and be honest to these

265
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: young men who are losing their hair. And I pray

266
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: to God, I'm never a part of your community. You

267
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: look disgusting to me. But can we still be biggot

268
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: into bald people? Or is that gonna get me canceled now?

269
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: Because I'm because I'm coming in with hate speech towards

270
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: the ball. You cross me out. You make me fucking sick,

271
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: And if you ever if you ever come around my

272
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: bald daughter, I'll kill you. All Right, we're having fun,

273
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a break. We'll be back when more

274
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: many episode of my Mama Told Me and more of

275
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: My nonsense. Okay, bye, and we are back men slapping me. Yeah,

276
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: we're back here with more of my Mama told me more, more,

277
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: many episode conversation. It's not a conversation. I'm terribly alone.

278
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: Olivia the producer is here, but she mostly just stares

279
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: disappointed from the safety of her home, and that makes sense.

280
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: There's no reason for her to come near the toxicity

281
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: that I'm spelling. That drop that you just heard was

282
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: actually a gift from Jordan himself, the man who theorized

283
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: about Steve Harvey and stole my goddamn idea so that

284
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: he and his friends can make a mediocre podcast similar

285
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: to the one that I'm doing. Funk Off, Jordan, But

286
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: thank you for the Thank you for the drop. It's

287
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: very sweet of you. This next message, I'm excited about

288
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: this one, but because this actually comes to me from

289
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: a person named Corey, who was a friend a person

290
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: I've known for years. We went to we went to

291
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: high school together. I can't remember if we went to

292
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: middle school together. I think we did, but I can't remember.

293
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: It's been a long time. But but Corey, who I

294
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: saw recently when I was doing shows in Chicago, sent

295
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: me this message. He said, Hello Lengthston, very formal, as

296
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: if we don't know each other. Hello, Lenggston, Comma, long

297
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: time listener, first time caller. My name is Corey. I

298
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: won't say your last name. And my ma told me

299
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: that dinosaurs aren't real and are built up to test

300
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: our faith. At the time, I seriously went to Hatch Elementary,

301
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: repeating that nonsense. Over time, a couple of field trips

302
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: to the museums in Chicago in Manhattan proved to my

303
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: satisfaction that a large percentage of dinosaur owns are fabricated. Moreover,

304
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: human existence is not established by science. Discoveries of dinosaurs

305
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: with feathers trapped in amber and human bones dating back

306
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: further than our grade school books informed us aren't that impressive.

307
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: What is impressive is my mo called it. Dinosaurs aren't

308
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 1: really a thing. Dinosaurs are like reptiles or possibly other

309
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: species that died out, or a previous and more super

310
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: civilization African or Asian hunted them to extinction. I'm sure

311
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: the capitalism and pageantry of dinosaur bones is rooted in

312
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: the European desire to capitalize and present itself as Egyptian, Macedonians, Greeks,

313
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: and romans anyway, You're an awesome talent in truly oak

314
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: Park's finest, I mean, Shytown's finest. Thanks, Corey. Now, I

315
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: struggled to make sense of quite a bit of this, Corey.

316
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: Some of this makes sense to me, right, like, okay,

317
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: and I like you, Corey, A big fan of you

318
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: to Hey, you're oak Park's finest too. Let's just agree too,

319
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: of oak Park's finest me a man who does comedy

320
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: for a living. In you a nigga who doesn't believe

321
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: in dinosaurs. We're We're both great. You know. We went

322
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: to the same school, we studied the same ship, but

323
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: somehow you ended up being like, dinosaurs ain't real. And

324
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: that's that's fucking cool, man. That's cool that that school

325
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: can be up for interpretation that way. But Okay, here's

326
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: where I'm struggling a little bit. Or rather, let's let's

327
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,399
Speaker 1: start with where I I know for sure you're saying

328
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: something correct. Where Corey is absolutely correct is that a

329
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: lot of the dinosaur womes that we do see in

330
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: museums are fabricated. The ways that they're sort of like

331
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: building these dinosaurs up, the pieces that they're sort of

332
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: like filling in to make sure that we can see

333
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: the dinosaur the way that we want to see the

334
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: dinosaur is in fact not real. They are they are

335
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: a presentation. They are pageantry, as Corey put it so eloquently.

336
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: In fact, I was devastated as a young person to

337
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 1: discover that the Bronosaurus isn't even a real fucking like dinosaur.

338
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: I think it's like some weird like amalgamation of other

339
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: dinosaurs that that we sort of like piece together and

340
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: then put in Jurassic Park and it became this insanely

341
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: popular dinosaur. But it's kind of bullshit. It's not what

342
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: we think it is at the very least. That said,

343
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: where I start to to struggle a little bit with

344
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: what you're saying is I'm not sure how that then

345
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: definitively proves that dinosaurs are not real. Right Like, I

346
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: think they were real, and I think there is a

347
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: very high possibility that they existed in in different forms

348
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: than what we're seeing. In fact, we now know that

349
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: dinosaurs were less likely these these sort of like hairless

350
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: lizards that were walking around just like tearing each other

351
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: to shreds. But in in fact they were more like

352
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: big sexy birds. You know what I mean, just big

353
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: don't know why sexy is the word that I chose there.

354
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm not horny for dinosaurs, and I want to be

355
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: clear about that before we move forward at all. I

356
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: want to be absolutely clear, dinosaurs do not make me horny.

357
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: A lot of things do a lot of things do

358
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: some things you'd be surprised by, but I assure you

359
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,919
Speaker 1: dinosaurs are not one of them. That said, I think

360
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: dinosaurs did exist, and there is a very real possibility

361
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: that they existed in a lot of different forms than

362
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: we are willing to acknowledge. In fact, there are many

363
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: things now existing on the planet that are very clear

364
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: descendants of dinosaurs. But they were real. I think they

365
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: were pretty real. And I don't think we just get

366
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: to be like not any real because because your mama said,

367
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: now as that test the faith from from a god

368
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: up above us. Now to your larger point, and I

369
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: do think this is an important one, the real question

370
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: is what is the intention of sort of this, this reappropriation,

371
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: this representation of what dinosaurs are. And I do think

372
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: your point about capitalism is an extremely valid one, right that, like,

373
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: there is money in telling us these stories about what

374
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: these large monsters are and what they could be in

375
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: creating fucking you know, literally movie after movie, uh, entire

376
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: worlds of films about these large creatures that in fact

377
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: did not look the way that they looked because big

378
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: old bird ostriches is not it's not as exciting as

379
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: like a fucking a t rex, you know what I mean.

380
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: So so it's I guess complicated. Yes, absolutely, Capitalism and

381
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: the White devil are responsible for our misunderstanding and relating

382
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,239
Speaker 1: in relation to dinosaurs. And I do imagine to some

383
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: point that that you're making there's a weird connection in

384
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: wanting to usurtain people's stories and people's knowledge of these

385
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: various creatures by making them standardized based on white language

386
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: instead of allowing the history that I imagine a lot

387
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 1: of Asian and African scientists and and those that studied

388
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: this ship or experienced this ship to some extent may

389
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: have interacted with although I'm not sure that human beings

390
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: than dinosaurs wherever anywhere near each other on this planet.

391
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: That I don't know that there's a ton of evidence

392
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: of that. But Corey, you know what, you're a lawyer, now, dog, Yeah,

393
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: you're a whole as lawyer you're better at arguing than

394
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 1: I am. I don't know. Maybe maybe you got some

395
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: ship I don't know, and maybe I should have taken

396
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: the time to do more thorough research because you probably

397
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: found some articles. There's some real dot net dot dot

398
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: biz type ship that that might explain some of the

399
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: things that I'm struggling with here. But I will say

400
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 1: you're onto something. There's pieces of this that make perfect sense,

401
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: and and the rest of it is completely deranged. But

402
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: the pieces that make sense, I'm with you, dog, and

403
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: I'll never turn my back on those pieces. Yeah, all right, Oh,

404
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: we're having fun. I'm gonna do one more email and

405
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: then I think, and then i'd like to I'm gonna

406
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: tease you guys a little bit. I'm gonna tease you

407
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: right now because I have a bit of an announcement

408
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: following this next email. And I don't know why. I'm

409
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: getting real quiet and whispery with this, but yeah, get

410
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: close to the get close to your radio while you're driving,

411
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: and how y'all listen to podcasts on the radio while

412
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: you're driving. Put your ear real close to the speaker.

413
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: Don't pay attention to the road. Nothing's happening in the road.

414
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 1: You won't hit anybody. You're fine. Put your ear real close,

415
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: close your eyes, because yeah, there's gonna be a big

416
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: announcement on the other side of this email. Okay, we're back,

417
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: We're back to normal voices. Okay, here's the last email

418
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: that I received, and this one comes from a gentleman

419
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: named Robert. Robert sent me an email and it's simply

420
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: entitled I love this. It got my attention immediately. Robert said, Caucasions.

421
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: That was the that was the subject of the emails,

422
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: Caucasians an exclamation point. He said, Hello Langston. First off,

423
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: I want to say that I am a relatively recent

424
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 1: fan and your podcast has quickly become one of my

425
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 1: absolute favorites. And truth I was guided here through through

426
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: my other favorite podcasts, Behind the Bastards, Dope Bass Podcast

427
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: and the episode You Guessed It on. Who knew that

428
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: talking about anti submitted conspiracy theories could have positive outcomes.

429
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: Since I've been listening to your show, keeping up on

430
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: new episodes while exploring the back catalog, I've on several

431
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: occasions heard you refer to white folks as Caucasians. Now,

432
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm not here to give you shipped for it because

433
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: I understand it's a common usage, but there are many

434
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: things we all still learn can learn rather about the

435
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: about and growth from a little background about why I'm

436
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: coming at you on this. I am white by way

437
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: of my father in Japanese and our medium by way

438
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: of my mother. The mix is a freakishly odd one,

439
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: and my sister and I are possibly the only humans

440
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: in existence to be able to say we have that lineage.

441
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,439
Speaker 1: My mother's parents are both from their respective countries, and

442
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: she was born in Japan during World War Two. No less,

443
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: my grandmother was born in what is today the northwestern

444
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: corner of Iran. Uh. Iran, Iran. I think that's how

445
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: you say it, uh, And yeah, you know, I grew

446
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: up in the nineties and two thousands. I don't know.

447
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: We said a lot of problematic I guess phrasings of

448
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 1: various countries. So my apologies, Iran, I think is the

449
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: right way that you approached this word. Iran is the

450
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: George W. Bush way, And I apologize for having uh

451
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: served his lordship for as long as I did. Anyway,

452
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: as a girl, Uh, she survived the Turkish genocide. Our meanings,

453
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: if you don't know, make up one of the many

454
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: ethnic groups in the region, along the Georgians, Chechens, Kurds,

455
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: are Zeries and others. This is the caucas the Caucusus

456
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: region and the reason I'm writing you it is high

457
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: time to retire the term Caucasian when referring to white

458
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: people of European descent. The people of the caucus Mountains

459
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: are definitely not white, maybe lighter brown if you're if

460
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: we're being generous. The term Caucasian was first used in

461
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: reference to white people in the seventy hundreds by a

462
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: German scientist who was seeking to categorize the different races

463
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: of humans into major orders caucus Roids for Europeans, North

464
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: Africans and Arabs generally, negroids for guests who and mongoloids

465
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: for Asians. Needless to say, this was one of the

466
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: cornerstones of scientific racism that only got more intricate as

467
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: time went on. Apparently, the reason this dude came to

468
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 1: his conclusion was because he examined the skull of a

469
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: woman from the Caucusus region and thought it was the

470
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: most beautiful skull he had seen, and thought that white

471
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: people must have originated there. I mean, who wouldn't think

472
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: that l O L. These terms were common in scientific

473
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: usage until the mid to late twentieth century, but are

474
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 1: currently rejected in academia academia, although some census and other

475
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: documents still have Caucasian as an option when reporting race

476
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 1: slash ethnicity. Of course, the irony and all of this

477
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: is that I am white, but I am also an

478
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: actual Caucasian. To be clear, I don't take offense to

479
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: you or anyone else use them the term to describe

480
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: white people. I understand that most of us just don't

481
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: know any better, so I always try to take the

482
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: time to explain that to anyone who will listen. I

483
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: find it's mostly white people who use it to describe

484
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: themselves because the two people too possible. Reasons One is

485
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 1: that they often seem pretty uncomfortable even saying white people

486
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: in second is that Caucasians sounds more exotic than just

487
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: playing old, guilt ridden term white people. I mean, I

488
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: get it. Why not claim to outdated scientific terms that

489
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: do a disservice to a group of people nobody really

490
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: cares about or even knows where in the world are they? Uh,

491
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: White folks are good at stashing their guilt in places

492
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: that even they don't, they won't be able to find,

493
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: so it's no wonder they would subconsciously seek an identity

494
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: and culture not their own. After all, the food is

495
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: fucking excellent. Anyway, Sorry for the long winded lecture. I'm

496
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: not telling you what to say or what not to say.

497
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm just passing the information along for you to do

498
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: with as you will. I believe knowledge is power, and

499
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm all about giving and receiving that ship either way,

500
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm still listening. I'll still listen to your show and

501
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: laugh my ass off as I usually do. Uh. And

502
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: then he says snore hand gallum, snore and jalm, which

503
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: is thank you and armenian. Uh, sincerely, Robert, and I

504
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: read that whole thing, and Robert, I want you to know, uh,

505
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: from the bottom of my heart. Shut the funk up, man,

506
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: Just my god, Robert, shut the funk up. Oh my god,

507
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: why would you send me this? Robert? What the funk

508
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: do you want me to do with all this goofy

509
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: ass information? I call them white devil most of the time.

510
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like if you're acting

511
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: as if I've been paying them a homage this entire time,

512
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,719
Speaker 1: just tipping my cat to the to the sweet works

513
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: of the white man. I they are they are crackers,

514
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: they are honkys, they are white devils, and occasionally, when

515
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm out of synonyms, I'm going to call them Caucasians

516
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: because it's a term that we've all agreed upon together.

517
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: It's it may not be correct in the same way

518
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: that nigga is not correct. It doesn't it's not rooted

519
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: from anything. And I'm sure there's some historical thing where

520
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: we can point to other real negrosses were actually the

521
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: the Antarctic, were the penguins and Antarctica that started as

522
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: the negroids, And then a white scientist said, hey, it's

523
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: back is black. He's a nigger back, and we'll call

524
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: them niggerbacks from now. I don't give a ship, Robert fuck.

525
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 1: I come here to be silly. I don't want to learn. Here.

526
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: You are giving me lectures and ship about about the history,

527
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: and and good for you for knowing all of these things.

528
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: I think it's very valid information and I will carry it.

529
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I will carry this and I'll say

530
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: it at parties and shipped to impress people that I

531
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: otherwise wouldn't know how to talk. To you know what

532
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: I mean. I'll be at some party. I'll be like, hey,

533
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, the Caucasians ain't really Caucasians. They they just

534
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: said that because there was measuring skulls and ship and

535
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: they'll be like, holy funck. Langston learns a lot, but

536
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: I don't learn a lot, Robert, and I fucking hate

537
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: that you're making me learn today. I hate that you

538
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: put me through this, Robert. My listeners hated hearing your

539
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: email out loud, and so can you imagine and you

540
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: listen to it. Did you enjoy hearing your words back

541
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: at you, Robert? Was that something that you felt good about?

542
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: It was so long, so fucking long, Robert, Jesus Christ,

543
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: be consider it, my friend. I love that you listen

544
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: to the show, but god damn it, take the time

545
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: to consider what you put me through, just so you

546
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: could teach me that that calling them the white devil

547
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: is not enough. That I have to also then be

548
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: careful in my words because I might be hurting the

549
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: six Armenian people who also know what you know about

550
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: the fucking caucus this reason, I'll I'll push you down

551
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: in public, Robert, if I ever see you. Okay, that's

552
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: that's it. That's that's all I got on that fuck

553
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: fuck anyway, I teased it earlier. I have a big

554
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: announcement to make, and we're doing a little bit of

555
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: reformatting to my Mama told me it's it's been. We're

556
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: coming up on our second year, the end of our

557
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: second year. I believe Olivia is that true? Yeah, okay,

558
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: Olivia is nodding. She agrees that I'm not just making

559
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: up time. We we started this bad Boy in the pandemic,

560
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: back when we were all still washing our food with

561
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: fucking baby wipes and ship you know what I mean,

562
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: When we were sucking chloroxing our our our chicken and

563
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: then yelling at Trump because he told us to eat

564
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: bleach and we were kind of already eating bleach. And

565
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: I think that's why we were getting so angry, because

566
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: we're like, niok, I already eat bleach. Why am I

567
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: still sick? It's it got weird for a while, and

568
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: that's when we started this Bad Boy. But since then,

569
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: you guys have been You've been lovely, you've been loyal.

570
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 1: And I don't mean for this to sound as if

571
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: we're ending the podcast. We are not, But in fact,

572
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: we're we're bringing a little new formatting. We're gonna try

573
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: some new ship. A dear friend, a very talented comedian,

574
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: a former guest on the show, a person named David

575
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: bore who was on one of our first episodes of

576
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: the podcast, is actually gonna be joining on for a

577
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: while as a co host. He's gonna co host with

578
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: me on This Bad Boy. And sometimes we'll just do

579
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: episodes together riffing and talking ship, and then sometimes will

580
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: do more of the listener emails, and then sometimes we'll

581
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: have other guests to to join in and and these

582
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: are not episodes that uh we we hope it brings

583
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: the exact same humor and fun and silliness while also

584
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: uh connecting a little more of the p's and ques,

585
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: just adding a little more energy and shift around to

586
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: This bad Boy. It's it's always fun when you can

587
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: break up some of the the monotony of a thing

588
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: that you've been doing for a while. So we're excited

589
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 1: to bring David Bory on. And if you're you're wondering, Hey,
