Announcer
I turned off news altogether.
J. Jordan
I hate to say it, but I.
Langston Kerman
Don'T trust much of anything.
David Bore
It's the rage bait.
Announcer
It feels like it's trying to divide people.
J. Jordan
We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting.
Langston Kerman
Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there.
J. Jordan
NBC News, reporting for America.
David Bore
You're a black man who came into some money. I know you have some hats.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Bore
I know you have some hats.
Langston Kerman
I'm not even a hat guy. I got some hats.
David Bore
Yeah, of course. That's funny.
J. Jordan
You understand how hard it was for me not to wear a bomber and some sneakers during my special? I'm a black man who came into some money, so I got a bunch of hats. My husband, he bought me.
David Bore
Take so many Timbs in and out of the cart.
J. Jordan
They're in the cart all the time. You wake up, they in the cart. I remember doing this. David, we talked about this.
Langston Kerman
David, David, David. You're a sick man.
David Bore
The government growing babies. Microchips in your anus. All koala bears are racist. The ozone layer owes me money. Washington, Ben and turkey stuff. Y' all can't tell me nothing. Last night. I was inside of you. Last night while Making love to you I saw the sun, the moon, the mountains and the rivers. I saw heaven when I made sweet love to you. Welcome, little mamas and gentiles alike, to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me.
J. Jordan
God damn.
Langston Kerman
The podcast where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories.
David Bore
And we finally. We don't actually. We're not proving anything.
Langston Kerman
We're not proving shit.
David Bore
This isn't that kind of podcast.
Langston Kerman
If you came here for proof.
J. Jordan
Oh, boy, do I got bad news to you.
David Bore
It's the one thing I'm fresh out of.
Langston Kerman
Y' all keep. You know what? They keep asking for proof of the things that we're saying, as if every time we don't tell them ahead of time. Hey, we don't have proof of the things we're saying.
David Bore
I mean, I think that nerds have been coming at our head for the last couple weeks.
Langston Kerman
They're really mad at us, and we're feeling that.
David Bore
And what I have to say, you nerds, is sorry.
Langston Kerman
My bad, bro.
David Bore
Sorry.
J. Jordan
I didn't.
David Bore
I only seen the Matrix once.
Langston Kerman
I'll be honest, my only memory of Transformers is that is him running with Shia LaBeouf back when he was a white child. I have no other framing for it. I was just saying stuff.
David Bore
Yep. I like the ones where they're animals. So I didn't even. I wasn't even in on that.
Langston Kerman
Absolutely.
David Bore
That's what I like.
Langston Kerman
I remember a raptor in there, and I thought the raptor was cool, but I couldn't tell you his name.
David Bore
I like it. Yeah, I like. They used to have it before school.
Langston Kerman
Jay, you can jump in. By the way, I know you are a nerd.
J. Jordan
The Beast wars aficionado. You talking about Air Razor? Yeah, that was a girl. She fell in love with the white tiger. They died together, had a baby, which was this, like. No, with Timberwolf. It's actually. She fell in love with the wolf and then they had like a combined form robot, where it was like a wolf with wings. Yeah, robot baby.
David Bore
I hate that robot.
Langston Kerman
I was talking and than for pointing that out. The powers that be.
J. Jordan
You know what I mean?
Langston Kerman
I was talking about the one that was a traitor to the Decepticons.
J. Jordan
Ooh, Dinobot.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, Dinobot was the one. He, like, joined the.
J. Jordan
The Maximals.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, the Predacons and the Maximals and the Danimals.
J. Jordan
The Danimal.
David Bore
You guys remember Danim? You gotta get some flavor. Come on, man. That's it. That's it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You know, a previous episode Langston did diagnose me with a little bit of the tears. I'm teased up. Just.
Langston Kerman
That's ok. That's ok. And I stand on it.
J. Jordan
And he's not wrong. Me correcting him on Maximals and predacons. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You have a rich nerd memory.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That has to be diagnosed.
J. Jordan
That came to me early. My husband, he's like, anniversary. I was like, it's coming July 10th.
Langston Kerman
You want me to remember I just met you.
J. Jordan
I go way back with Megatron as a T. Rex. As a purple T. Rex. He was Barney. Megatron was a purple T. Rex. And no one made a Barney joke.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Barney was a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Voicemail Caller
Yes.
David Bore
That feels like a terrible move in hindsight.
J. Jordan
He got the veneers. That's why he didn't know.
David Bore
He does got tears out.
J. Jordan
He took his original teeth out. Barney got the nene leaks.
Langston Kerman
It's like.
J. Jordan
Barney got the nene leak. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He got the consequences.
J. Jordan
Barney in the back like Michael Chase. Stop yelling at Kanye. Hey, brother, this ain't the time or the place. Hey, man. Hey.
Langston Kerman
I love you. You love me.
David Bore
Was Barney the only one who had good teeth on that show? Baby Bop had. Those were bad.
J. Jordan
Baby Bop. I didn't think Baby Bop had.
Langston Kerman
I think Baby Bop had no tea.
David Bore
Cause they were.
J. Jordan
Well, they're.
David Bore
They were disadvantaged. Well, Baby Bop was a baby.
J. Jordan
Yeah, but also, I think they were herbivores.
David Bore
They were bebe babies.
J. Jordan
Baby babies.
David Bore
Bebe babies.
J. Jordan
Bebe babies.
David Bore
Bebe Baby Bop. Nah, you were babies.
J. Jordan
Right, right.
David Bore
You didn't feel.
Langston Kerman
I like the idea.
David Bore
You don't feel like they were a poorer dinosaur than Barney was.
J. Jordan
Wait, I thought you meant younger. You thought Baby Bop. You thought Baby Bop would be affected by the SNAP benefits being cut?
David Bore
Yes.
J. Jordan
Oh, okay.
David Bore
Did you guys not feel that way?
J. Jordan
No, but now I get why you say that.
Langston Kerman
It makes a lot of sense.
J. Jordan
She didn't have no clothes on.
David Bore
No, she didn't have clothes on.
Langston Kerman
She was unwatched.
David Bore
She was too old to be talking like that.
Langston Kerman
That's true.
David Bore
She was, like, older than a baby. But she was talking like a baby, which makes me feel like.
J. Jordan
And we called bj. Bj, her brother. And they had different daddies because they were different colors.
Langston Kerman
They weren't even the same species.
David Bore
High yellow.
J. Jordan
High yellow.
Langston Kerman
Didn't like how you pointed at me.
David Bore
You're wearing a yellow shirt. Really don't still.
Langston Kerman
Really don't love the associations with bj. A third tier dinosaur in a.
J. Jordan
It was showing three dinosaurs.
Langston Kerman
I'm not particularly cool on what's happening here, but I do respect the joke.
J. Jordan
Yeah. I think Baby Bop was probably going through some stuff at home.
Langston Kerman
She was never invited there.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
She always just showed up and they'd.
J. Jordan
Be like, oh, shit. Baby Bop. You know what it is? You know the house that always has kids in it? That was that house. Yeah, yeah. Cause all the kids that were with Barney, he was telling them to clean up. So Barney was running a daycare center. Baby Bop, she just had to be there. Cause you know, her mama wasn't picking her up all the time.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
BJ would sometimes come. Cause he's an older brother. He said, hey, we gotta walk home. Here's a honey bun. Is that dinner? That's dinner.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Yeah. Cause home is hard.
J. Jordan
Home is hard.
David Bore
A bunch of other dads you wanna hang out with.
J. Jordan
Marnie. Yeah.
David Bore
He's got a bunch of like. He's got a bunch of velociraptors trying to make him go bodies in the back in his house. They try to teach him how to gang hunt.
Langston Kerman
Ye.
David Bore
He goes over there testing the walls.
J. Jordan
Clever girl. Clever girl. Clever girl.
David Bore
Oh, man, that's really sad.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. It's a tragic story. When you unpack most of these programs.
David Bore
I would say, Yeah, I always. Cause like any kids program, I always am like that. Dirty kids going through it.
J. Jordan
Oh, okay.
David Bore
Pig Pen too, right? That's not good.
Langston Kerman
No, that's a sad one for.
J. Jordan
That's a problem with the peanuts. It was injur that even though they had a dirty child, you still were like, well, I'm checking on Franklin. Everything okay with Franklin? Franklin, he's at the table by him. He's on the side of the table by himself. They chose to sit next to Pigpen rather than sit next to Franklin on the other side of the table.
David Bore
Well, you know, nobody talks about. They bust Franklin in.
J. Jordan
Whoa. Is this real?
Langston Kerman
No.
J. Jordan
Okay. I thought the Schultz camp told me.
David Bore
Oh, no. They called it its integration. Charlie Brown.
Langston Kerman
Charlie mad about that one.
David Bore
Don't even get Lucy started. She was pulling more than a football.
Langston Kerman
She changing the sound on that therapy stand.
David Bore
No.
Langston Kerman
If you need help about some of the changes that are happening around here.
David Bore
Five cents.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah. No, Lucy does just become a Tim Dillon esque podcaster.
David Bore
Yeah, Lucy. Lucy makes you feel like it's the end of the world.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
The way she likes. The same way that he makes me feel that way. Like, Lucy is just like. She flies. No fly. There's nothing.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
You know what I mean? I see that she just keeps taking that football.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Like, that's nuts.
Langston Kerman
She takes the football, and I think what really is the most.
David Bore
He's not even a football kicker. Like that.
J. Jordan
No. And she also calls him blockhead.
Langston Kerman
She calls him Blockhead. But then she spends the entire show pretending as if she is the moral compass for the group.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Like her whole shit is being like, I'm clearly the best leader here and yet.
J. Jordan
Why.
David Bore
Which is where we're at right now. We've been talking about. She just saying shit. That's Trumpism.
J. Jordan
Lucy is a demigod.
Langston Kerman
Lucy Trump.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God. She also is the therapist. So imagine if your therapist behaved that way.
Langston Kerman
Why are you being bullied by your therapist?
David Bore
Why are you playing football with your therapist?
J. Jordan
Your co pay ain't but five cents, though. Yeah.
David Bore
But you gotta scale that. It was the 70s. He was a child.
Langston Kerman
He couldn't even understand his parents, much less know how to make money.
J. Jordan
Yeah, he had parents.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
That was.
Langston Kerman
He was mumbling all the time.
David Bore
Am I crazy for thinking this was his dad a barber? Why do I think that if Charlie.
J. Jordan
Brown's dad was a barber. That's fucked up.
David Bore
I think it was the most depressing because he was so.
J. Jordan
That's fucked up.
David Bore
Maybe I'm putting shit on there.
Langston Kerman
Charlie Brown's barber just spreading nasty conspiracies.
J. Jordan
Charlie Brown's barber just would be like.
David Bore
I'm gonna move these three. I mean, Charlie would have really. It would have been good if he had had Beijing or enhancements.
J. Jordan
That's a new Charlie Brown enhancements.
Langston Kerman
He definitely needed something.
J. Jordan
Okay. When I was in Tuscaloosa, that's when the enhancements, like, dropped around, like, 2013, 12 enhancements. Cause that's when they were doing it without asking you, they'd be like, I'mma just. And you go, whoa, what's that?
Langston Kerman
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
They go, I'mma just.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I'm gonna give you that. They start pulling that card out and you like, hold on, playboy. Wait a minute.
David Bore
You ever seen when they have the visor and the gun, it's like the whole visor, and then they airbrush it.
Langston Kerman
That's the one that hurts my feelings the most.
David Bore
Yeah, that one is bad.
Langston Kerman
And they're like, bro, I'm gonna need a whole system to fix what this.
J. Jordan
Is at that point. Get the roller. Yeah, well.
David Bore
And it's like, something I'd like to do at home away from other people.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I don't want you to show everybody eyes.
J. Jordan
No. But, I mean, everyone is like, I mean, everyone is doing.
David Bore
I'm still all natural.
J. Jordan
I'm not doing it. But I see so many people that have kind of like. They do the enhancements. They do the chalk, they do the outline.
Langston Kerman
I will say that on sets, they do it, and you don't really get.
J. Jordan
A say in it.
Langston Kerman
You know what I mean?
David Bore
That's the one time I've done it.
J. Jordan
They be filling in my eyebrows. I go, what? Are you okay? Yeah. All right. I don't like that.
David Bore
Cause they're showing you problems. You didn't feel like you had.
J. Jordan
I didn't come in thinking about this. I didn't roll up the set and go to crafty think my eyebrows.
David Bore
Yeah.
J. Jordan
But now I'm in the makeup chair, and she goes, you want me to do this? I went, you started already?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You did one?
David Bore
Yeah.
J. Jordan
I can't just. I can't look inquisitive, though.
Langston Kerman
You've already snatched half my soul.
David Bore
Go ahead, finish off now. You're out here looking like a Latina.
J. Jordan
Teen just making out on public transportation. Is that what you're talking about?
David Bore
I went through penciled in eyebrows.
J. Jordan
They are loving people.
David Bore
Yeah. So musical.
J. Jordan
So musical. Imagine it.
Langston Kerman
Our guest today. I don't know. We have to intro.
David Bore
Yeah, we have to do an intro.
Langston Kerman
Our guest today, we couldn't be more excited. He's here. It was a tight squeeze.
J. Jordan
Yes.
Langston Kerman
This motherfucker's busy. Pretty much. He got shit going on today.
J. Jordan
I did podcasts before this. I'm probably gonna do one afterwards.
Langston Kerman
Hell, yeah.
J. Jordan
I had to come through.
David Bore
Well, brother, tell Theo Vaughn about us.
J. Jordan
Listen, brother, me and him are gonna get to the bottom of all of this. He keeps saying y', all, I don't know, but I think the government's bad. And it breaks my heart.
David Bore
Brother, those are just your friends. Yeah, I know, man.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Sometimes that happens. People hurt you.
J. Jordan
That man said, who's. Listen, I'm gonna find out who's killing all these Palestinian children. After my dinner with Ivanka, after I get done eating with Jared and Ivanka, I'm gonna find out who's been killing these precious brown babies.
Langston Kerman
I'm gonna have a fine meal.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And then I'm gonna start doing some independent Googling.
J. Jordan
That man said, I think there's someone behind all this. And then posted up. That's crazy.
David Bore
Yeah, man.
Langston Kerman
Our guest today is not crazy.
David Bore
He's not crazy.
J. Jordan
I'm a little bit.
Langston Kerman
He might be a little crazy.
David Bore
A dash of tears.
Langston Kerman
We're excited that he's here. He has a Brand new Hulu Special available for you now. We could not be more excited. Go watch this. Yes, ma'. Am. On Hulu. Give it up, Jerdan.
J. Jordan
Y', all. Would you say that you're racist?
David Bore
Not at all. No. Look at my dog. He's as black as can be.
Langston Kerman
That's what you asked us to play, right?
David Bore
That came with that.
J. Jordan
That's exactly what.
Langston Kerman
We never played that.
J. Jordan
My dog is as black as can be. Yeah. Yes, ma'. Am. I think it ties into My mama Told Me. Cause whenever my mama told me something, I said, yes, ma'. Am. Happy to do the pod. I love it.
David Bore
Thanks for having us.
J. Jordan
We act up every time we're together.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
I said, thank you for having us. I'm nervous. He don't work here. Yeah. You know what it is, is all I had was that intro.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
And then I had no other plans for today.
Langston Kerman
Well, the intro was great.
J. Jordan
The intro. I love dogs.
David Bore
Oh, okay, good.
J. Jordan
Yeah, I love dogs.
David Bore
Me, too.
J. Jordan
I love dogs. You want to offer some pushback? A lot of people, they think black folks don't love their dogs.
David Bore
Brother, my DMs are filled.
J. Jordan
It's insane.
David Bore
I think it's because. And this is. And you. Okay. You can attest to this. You talk to me on the telephone. We're willing to talk to them like they're not. I talk to a dog like. I talk like a person. Maybe even a little worse sometimes.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Right? There it is. Yeah. It's that second.
David Bore
Oh, he got me.
Langston Kerman
He got me.
David Bore
Okay.
J. Jordan
He got me. It's that second sentence that's really the key to this.
Langston Kerman
It's not that you talk to your dog. You do talk to her like a person.
David Bore
Yes.
Langston Kerman
You just talk to her like a person you don't respect very much at all.
J. Jordan
A child.
David Bore
Do you respect people who don't pay bills? I do not. Do you respect people who poop in the house? I do not can do that.
J. Jordan
I'm blaming her. I'm going to be honest. This is also the unification of David Bore. Because you went straight to. Do you pay bills?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You got there fast.
David Bore
She's in there. I'm just saying she's in there.
J. Jordan
I think the same thoughts, but when they come out, I do go. Wait a second. Does that thought come with a pair of linen pants? Okay, here's you paying some bills.
David Bore
Here's my issue. I think, too now that I'm really. If I'm really, like, putting my brain to it, it is because in being an unk.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
My love language is acts of service.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
So, bitch, you ever missed a meal?
J. Jordan
Yeah, well, maybe.
David Bore
Maybe I talk to you how I want in here. Maybe I talk to you how you get sick. You go to the doctor. Right, right, right. Okay. Yeah, so maybe I talk a little crazy. I'm there every day.
J. Jordan
A lot of dogs don't go to the vet.
David Bore
My dogs don't go to the vet.
J. Jordan
You know, where they go outside, they.
David Bore
Get worms and then they die.
Langston Kerman
This whole thing feels like the speech from fences.
J. Jordan
Like you.
David Bore
Like you.
Langston Kerman
Why I gotta like you?
J. Jordan
Where you say I gotta like you? Roof over your head, food in your belly. Like you.
David Bore
I'm just saying I like the dog.
J. Jordan
You're Troy Max.
David Bore
I'm doing this stuff.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Take her out. All this well walked dog.
Langston Kerman
Well walked dog.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody sees the neighborhood.
David Bore
She's freaking out. Cause they're doing the. The bitch is sitting on my lap.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
I'm trying to send emails. Whatever. She's on my lap. Big ass, full grown.
Langston Kerman
She's a big dog.
David Bore
Big dog. I think people just, like, want to be like, ooh, I hate that dog. And it's like, I'm with the dog all the time.
Langston Kerman
And I will say to your credit, I've done some nasty propaganda on the podcast.
David Bore
Thank you. Thank you.
Langston Kerman
I think I have only seen you treat your dog kindly.
David Bore
Come on.
Langston Kerman
You have done nothing in my presence that would suggest you are unkind to your dog.
David Bore
Come on.
Langston Kerman
But the way you speak to her.
David Bore
She can't speak English.
Langston Kerman
Does give me pause sometimes.
David Bore
She doesn't speak.
J. Jordan
It gives him pause.
David Bore
Okay.
J. Jordan
It gives him pause.
Langston Kerman
And now y' all see why I accused the man of autism.
David Bore
That was good.
J. Jordan
I liked it.
David Bore
Cause it got it off of me.
J. Jordan
Right?
David Bore
And I will say I could say I could speak softer to. Sometimes I do. It is crazy sometimes.
J. Jordan
Well, do you. I mean, and this is a bigger question. You want him yelling at that dog or yelling at a baby?
Langston Kerman
I would prefer the dog for sure. See, I just don't think we have to be one or the other.
J. Jordan
Okay, all right.
Langston Kerman
I'm here to inspire as much as you can.
J. Jordan
Gentle new parenting.
David Bore
I can't talk to the dog the way that white people talk to their dogs.
Langston Kerman
That's fair.
David Bore
I can't do that.
Langston Kerman
That's fair.
David Bore
I can't be in my house and be like, it's just not. It's just not gonna happen. But we're cool. And sometimes I do. Sometimes I talk nice to her, too. I'll be like, hey, you trying to. Oh, I'm about to go walk. I'm about to go walk. Put your vest on.
J. Jordan
Yeah, Vest, yeah. Oh, clothes.
David Bore
Look at.
J. Jordan
Yes.
David Bore
The bitch had sneakers for a minute.
J. Jordan
Yes, she lives.
David Bore
Great. Whoa.
J. Jordan
Yeah, you're.
Langston Kerman
No. You're doing more than I've ever done.
David Bore
We're walking out. I'm worried about the concrete being too hot on her paws. Like, I'm taking care of this dog, bro.
Langston Kerman
I had a pet pug in Michigan. Like, Ann Arbor, Michigan. I ain't put a coat on her once.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God.
David Bore
I mean, she doesn't wear the coat, but she got one.
Langston Kerman
And that was what I realized is, like, this is. This is so much.
J. Jordan
I mean, that's gonna get you in trouble. The pug community. I used to. I have a couple of jokes about pugs, and they go, hey, the jokes. Funny, but like, Jay, I've said wild shit. The pug people went, hey, Jay, we really like pugs.
David Bore
I do like that. Because if you didn't, they would have died off a long time ago. It's an abomination.
J. Jordan
Bioengineered and didn't do a great job.
Langston Kerman
No, actually, they did. Do you know what they were trying to do?
David Bore
Kill the pugs.
Langston Kerman
I don't know if that was the original plan, but in ancient China, they were engineered because the emperor wanted a dog that looked like a monkey.
David Bore
Oh, man. That's a level of power that I.
J. Jordan
Could not for the sake of balance. Are we gonna give him a little bit of the tears now?
David Bore
Because this. These is mentally easy.
J. Jordan
Anytime a black man starts off a sentence, well, we know what it is, right? Because in ancient China, the emperor wanted the dog that looked like a monkey.
Langston Kerman
We've all read our pug history, right? I don't want none of you brothers.
J. Jordan
Not caught up on your pug history.
David Bore
Also, Damn. I didn't ever realize that emperors carried that kind of power. That would corrupt me.
Langston Kerman
Oh, yeah.
David Bore
If I was powerful enough to, say, make this animal look like this animal.
J. Jordan
They do that with multiple breeds of Chinese originated dogs.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
J. Jordan
They had breed standards. Well, the. I mean, it's hard to have.
Langston Kerman
There's some other ones.
J. Jordan
There's some other ones. But there are a bunch of dogs that come from China that were like, breed standards based on what the emperor wanted.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I don't want you to think this is like, all dogs go to China.
David Bore
This is. Here's the ending of that movie.
J. Jordan
The restraint that you're showing. The restraint.
David Bore
I know. That's the strongest I've ever been on this podcast. And I'd like to think that that's growth.
J. Jordan
That is.
David Bore
He did that. And I sat here and I took it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, you chill.
David Bore
You saw it. I'm an ally. It's. Cause I'm going to Asia.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Okay. Yeah.
J. Jordan
What part?
David Bore
Japan. Me and my little brother's going to Japan. Okay.
J. Jordan
Have you seen that? People now are doing this. They're kind of telling Americans on TikTok, they're saying, I know. Everyone loves Japan. Everyone loves Tokyo. Everyone loves the future. Everyone love anime. And every. Every, like, person on TikTok is like, yeah. And then people go, you know, Japan used to do bad stuff. And everyone's like, yeah, we know. Yeah, I'm going, though.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Japan's really getting the. The Tyler, the creator treatment.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Well said. That's exactly right.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it's getting that Tyler treatment.
David Bore
And you're like, I don't give a. I'm listening to Chroma Cop.
J. Jordan
The Tyler situation, whenever it kind of was reaching critical mass, there was this weird. I don't know. I'm a millennial. So I was like, yeah, I remember the cockroaches. Did y' all not remember the cockroaches? There were so many babies on the Internet. They were like. And then he used to do. I was like, yeah, yeah. Wait a second. I was laughing and enjoying the music then and now. Is this a deal breaker for everyone?
Langston Kerman
For me, it took me a minute to come around because I remembered that.
David Bore
Yeah, same.
Langston Kerman
I was like, oh, man, he's dope. He's clearly, like, a good rapper. But I'm not on board with the human yet.
David Bore
Because I could. Yeah, because I could drink when On Future came out. So it was too young for me.
J. Jordan
I went to Kids doing crazy shit. My little brother loved Odd Future in Lord Squad. And I had to be like, let me check on Mark.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah. Cause it was like, bro. I went to. I got free tickets to an Odd Future show in San Francisco. And I remember I went and there was no line at the bar.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
And I was like, oh, this is not for me. Yeah, these are for kids. And then he grew up. And I was like, oh, that's a cool.
Langston Kerman
No, this motherfucker cool as shit.
David Bore
And also allow some space for growth. It happens. Everybody grows, man. I used to have credit at the liquor store. Look at me now. Nice to dogs going to Asia.
J. Jordan
Well, what happened is we got. You know who we got to do that shit for us. And then we never had to worry about. And tell me if y' all disagree. We had Eminem and more specifically, we had all of D12. So we got bizarre. We got OB trice. We had like, fucked up, crazy, weird black dudes doing fucked up, crazy, weird shit with Eminem. And then we just never had to deal with it. Like, we got them and we like, listen to them do that shit. And then we were like, oh, well, actually, I'm cool now.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Can I say also, if we're talking about this, we're bringing it out now.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
What's in the water in Detroit? Cause they started that whole horrorcore rap movement. That was Detroit, right?
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Isham and all that crazy. That rap music that is hard, scary to listen to.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
You're from there. What's going on?
Langston Kerman
I'm not from there.
J. Jordan
He was just walking a plug outside at the University of Michigan. He ain't from there.
David Bore
Yeah, be careful. But your people are from there.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, my mom. But like, it would be like asking a person who never returned to the.
David Bore
Island, what's up with the island?
J. Jordan
I'm sorry, why are you dipping the mango and the water? Water, yeah.
Langston Kerman
And you're like. I don't know.
J. Jordan
You, like, it's a fo. I don't know what you want me to say.
David Bore
See, some of us believe in petagenetics. I think he was just like. It was just in him to watch the makeup.
J. Jordan
It's in. It's something in you.
Langston Kerman
You think there's something in the. In my core that just understands Detroit movement.
David Bore
Yeah. More than I do.
Langston Kerman
I will say that Detroit is very weirdly a arts city. And it doesn't get a lot of credit as an art city because it's a bummer to like, it is legitimately a city with like a strong ass grassroots arts community. And I think that blossoms out into trying a lot of weird shit in their music and in their, like, culture. Like they have there. There's this. This project that's on the. I'm going to fuck Butcher the name. But there's this arts project on, like, the west side of Detroit that like, this dude just basically turned his entire block into like a found art exhibit. Right. Because all the houses are abandoned, he could just like, decorate the whole fucking block with whatever he wanted. And so it's like, weird shit. It's like skull, baby, skull with a stick in it. And then it's like wrapped with barbed wire. It really is him just being like, I'm not. I'm just gonna do what I want with this.
David Bore
I think that's cool. I Mean, it's also like, there are a lot of different types of black. Like, am I wrong about. There was a lot of black techno that came out of Detroit as well.
Langston Kerman
That's where house music was technically born.
J. Jordan
Right.
David Bore
So it's like, I get that. That it's just a city trying a lot of stuff.
Langston Kerman
The Heidelberg Project.
David Bore
Okay. And when you get that, you also get dudes rapping about eating stuff.
Langston Kerman
I think so. I think if you go visit the Heidelberg Project as a young person and you see a baby with a fucking stick stabbed through its skull, you go, I think I could rap about whatever I want.
David Bore
I like that. I like that.
J. Jordan
And now the Detroit and the Milwaukee sound is just kind of a. A rhythmic, offbeat, syncopated, sort of very specific cadence. When growing up, there were rappers where you like. This shit's scary as fuck.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
And I don't. I'm not mad that Tyler was kind of that early on. I mean, you know, pictures in, like, whiteface also at the time.
David Bore
I think it's coming back.
J. Jordan
It was. I think it's coming back. Okay.
David Bore
I've been talking to people.
J. Jordan
That's what I'm saying.
David Bore
I dropped a dream. I'm sorry. I dropped a joke about. I was talking to Rob on the Internet the other day. I dropped a joke about being Langston for Halloween. And he laughed. And I was like, I think this might. I think this shit might be. I think whiteface. I think we could get in early.
Langston Kerman
First I'm hearing of it.
David Bore
I soft played it. Well, I was thinking it would be funny if we were each other for Halloween.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Nah, that's not funny for me.
J. Jordan
Yeah, that's the problem. That's actually.
David Bore
That's the problem.
Langston Kerman
It's actually not funny for me.
David Bore
You in a bad place.
J. Jordan
Cause then. Cause you go into the shades and you got.
Langston Kerman
Brother, no thing I can put on is a compliment to you.
J. Jordan
Yeah, it would be fun. You know what you could do?
David Bore
It would be funny if I showed up as you and you were.
Langston Kerman
You. Okay.
David Bore
That's okay, right?
Langston Kerman
That might.
David Bore
We can get away with.
J. Jordan
That's what I'm saying. Or you say, oh, let's be. Let's be each other for Halloween. And, Langston, you just come in a bunch of Denver stuff, you go, look at me. I'm David. And he shows up in whiteface, right?
Langston Kerman
And you go.
J. Jordan
You go, wait, you didn't have no Chicago stuff you wanted to put on, man.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
J. Jordan
No, I thought this was how. This is what I thought we were. I thought we Were having fun.
Langston Kerman
You know, Ernest Hemingway went to my high school. You could have worn something about that.
J. Jordan
You in a Nuggets jersey.
David Bore
That's true. I think you can.
J. Jordan
That's funny. That's comedy of error.
David Bore
Yeah, I think that would probably be better. But I've just been thinking. Not for me, but. Yeah. No, no, no, not for you. There would be.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
There's just no world. I get that.
J. Jordan
Do you ever want.
David Bore
I also do think, though, this guy's diabolical. I think if we let it go and we were just like, you be Langston, you be David. I think he might show up in a gorilla costume.
Langston Kerman
Oh, my costume.
David Bore
It would be fun.
Langston Kerman
If ever you thought for a moment I would lose the competition.
David Bore
That's ex. Okay, you see what I'm saying? And this is why we have rules.
J. Jordan
Why do you have a bone through your nose? You came with a spear. What?
David Bore
Yeah, I just got, like, a little bit of white face on and, like, a brighter shirt than I usually would. He's dragging his knuckles.
J. Jordan
I walk in the room like, you, Wayne. Buffalo Bills Super Bowls champ shirt that you think they shipped over there? Yeah. That's an oddly specific, mean thing about African kids.
Langston Kerman
Man, you really dug deep.
David Bore
Oh, man.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. No, I'm gonna win the competition.
David Bore
Well, some Halloween. Some Halloween, we'll be able to join each other.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God.
Langston Kerman
I think when this country has righted the ship, when we're finally back to what we used to be.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
Isn't it wild now? America doesn't say, don't make it perfect. Can we get back to old age?
David Bore
Oh, yes. We're pining for blackface.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
If that was our biggest problem was white people wearing blackface, I'd be so happy.
David Bore
That was much better. Oh, man.
Langston Kerman
That was so simple.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Megyn Kelly, Put it back on.
Langston Kerman
Put it back on.
J. Jordan
Put it back on.
Langston Kerman
You deserve it.
David Bore
Yeah. That's so funny. Cause Today, my homie DMed me, and it was like, there's a video of some white girls doing blackface for Halloween. And he was like.
J. Jordan
He was like, this ain't even important.
David Bore
No, he said the funny thing. He said the funniest thing. He was like. Like, not gonna lie. I kind of look forward to these every year.
Langston Kerman
They are legitimately funny. And I know you guys are gonna be mad at us for saying it, but they're legitimately funny.
J. Jordan
Well, because.
David Bore
They're funny because of context, though.
Langston Kerman
That's it.
David Bore
It's not like, I don't. If I saw that. If that walks into my Halloween party. I'm not laughing.
Langston Kerman
I would not think that's funny.
David Bore
Like, fuck this, bitch. It's just like. But like, when you take everything. That's why it's funny.
J. Jordan
If it's on a phone and I have the aesthetic distance to be like, ha, ha, you stepped in. Yeah, I liked it out of awareness and humor, not out of liking it. I. I also.
David Bore
And that's. People need to realize humor isn't morality, I think is what needs to happen. David, that shit is not. The funny thing. Is not. That's why these fucking comics are fucking idiots. Where all I care about is what's funny. Well, you idiot, then go kill yourself. What are you talking about? All you care about is what's funny. It's not a religion, you fucking ding dong. Yeah, bad stuff is funny. It's funny when bad stuff happens to people, but you can't live by that.
Langston Kerman
It isn't just the distance for me. Also, there's this small piece of it where it's like, bro, you did something everybody else is afraid of. And you had no idea that.
David Bore
That Langston likes the bravery of blackface.
Langston Kerman
I genuinely am like, bro, I wouldn't.
David Bore
I couldn't do it.
J. Jordan
Or maybe Langston enjoys the incongruity of. Of those people doing that. And you're going, wait a second, wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Everyone else's software has been updated.
Langston Kerman
Everybody else.
J. Jordan
You still do it. This is crazy.
Langston Kerman
It's crazy.
David Bore
And that's funny. It's funny that it's crazy.
J. Jordan
It's so funny. We passed the memo around the office.
David Bore
Did you not everybody knew you live in the same place I do.
Langston Kerman
It's so frowned upon. Y' all stop doing it in your entertainment. It's not even like we got it out of ours. You stopped entertaining each other with the shit. And you're still. That's good for you. That's very funny.
David Bore
It is funny.
Langston Kerman
That's not a good person. That is a soulless devil. That is a funny motherfucker.
J. Jordan
They always do choose. I mean, they always choose Doo doo brown, too.
David Bore
No, this one I saw black.
J. Jordan
Oh, straight up black.
David Bore
This microphone aspect.
J. Jordan
Okay.
David Bore
It was. Cause it was these white girls, I guess, being WNBA players. What? And you're like, wait, you seen it? It was like, they're wearing, like, pink jerseys and it was crazy.
Langston Kerman
No, that's true.
J. Jordan
Okay, because here's something. You are being a feminist because you are celebrating women's sports.
David Bore
Are you celebrating? No.
Langston Kerman
No.
David Bore
Give him.
Langston Kerman
Give him some space.
David Bore
Keep going, keep going, keep going.
J. Jordan
You know, you play ball. You could just be. There are wide. Ywnba. Famously, recently there are a lot of white Paige Beckers, Cameron Bring and Caitlin Clark. There are three easy names that are white NBA players that if you want to be a WNBA player, you can be. Caitlin Clark is controversial for so many other. If you. I mean, my hot take is that Timothee Chalamet should go as Caitlin Clark because it's very close. It's close enough. It's close enough. They coming. They coming.
David Bore
No, that was a good one. That was.
J. Jordan
Cause I liked it. Okay.
David Bore
I've never seen them in the same room together. That's my hot take.
Langston Kerman
You going to good jail. There's fun jail and then there's sad jail. You going to fun jail.
J. Jordan
Fun jail. Yeah, baby.
David Bore
White facing that.
J. Jordan
One time I did a white person. One time I did post a story on Instagram where I was wearing like some sort of mask and it was white. And I did post it on one of my Instagram and one of my friends who is white, she said, jay, this isn't funny.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
And I did have to be like, oh, I thought you were cool.
David Bore
Yeah. Cause it is funny.
J. Jordan
I didn't post it on the. I didn't post it on the grid. It's on the story. Come on.
Langston Kerman
I'm just acknowledging a thing.
J. Jordan
I'm just doing my skincare routine and I look, I was like, this is kind of fun. Let me just.
David Bore
Yeah, that is funny.
J. Jordan
It's gonna be gone tomorrow.
David Bore
The story and repost. That don't even count to right.
Langston Kerman
No. That's where I'm at my most reckless.
David Bore
You just taught me about reposting. And then I was. The other day, I was going through reposting shit and then I was like, oh, maybe the order of what I'm doing, I need to put like some social.
Langston Kerman
You gotta curate it.
David Bore
Yeah. Otherwise you think I'm just like.
J. Jordan
But Instagram is also just back to telling on people now. Because every time I see a big booty across the gender expanse, my friends faces are very small now in the left hand corner and they're floating and kind of smiling.
David Bore
That's the worst.
J. Jordan
My friends are like, join us.
David Bore
Really? Like this?
J. Jordan
Join us. Yeah.
David Bore
And it's always the people. It's always the people you don't want it to be, man. And old guys, I find that old guys who still think that she sees the heart that he says, okay.
J. Jordan
I'm gonna say, okay, guess what, guess what, guess what. I'm gonna tell y' all something, and it does not leave this room, even though this is being recorded. I'm kidding. I don't give a fuck. Okay, this. Okay, so there is an older comic in New York, and every time I get on threads, there'll be, like, a woman in an orange bikini, and underneath, he'll put, like, orange hearts, and I'll be like, whoa, that's it. Oh, he coordinated that, brother.
Langston Kerman
Putting hearts that match the bikini. That's beautiful.
David Bore
That sucks.
Langston Kerman
He's like, baby, I'm paying attention.
J. Jordan
Yeah, let him.
David Bore
Is that his computer with an orange fitted on?
J. Jordan
He's in bed with the fitted, like, Aries Spears.
Langston Kerman
If I never take it off, I'm not bought. That's just how that works.
J. Jordan
Imagine how that thing smells. My goodness.
David Bore
Nah, you gotta.
J. Jordan
You shirtless in bed with the Yankee fitted on.
Langston Kerman
I don't even think he has that many hats. Do you know what I mean? Like, I think he's. I think he's. It's like the same.
J. Jordan
He did a podcast with Bobby Lee where he said Matt TV paid him in hats a little bit.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, man.
David Bore
That is a old timey, devilish version of show business. They came in there.
Langston Kerman
Okay? You could have a salary or you could have what we know you gonna spend it on.
J. Jordan
What we know you gonna spend.
David Bore
Spin.
J. Jordan
Look, man, you. You see? You see Aries spear on the street with a sign and you go, hey, I'm gonna give you some money. You ain't gonna spend on hats, are you? You a spend on. Man, I swear to God, this my last hat.
Langston Kerman
This my last one.
J. Jordan
I can take you to McDonald's. I can buy you something. I ain't get the money, cuz. I know you just gonna buy a hat.
David Bore
You can't go to the L. You can't take it.
Langston Kerman
You said, brother, I'll take you to the L. Just don't buy no hats.
David Bore
I laugh, but I also worry that's how I am gonna end up.
Langston Kerman
That's all right.
David Bore
My biggest fear. My biggest fear is I think you.
Langston Kerman
Can wear hats all the time. You just can't have bad opinions.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Me and my husband.
David Bore
What if you do both?
J. Jordan
My husband bought me, like, a hat. This is actually connected. Oh, my goodness. Y' all putting stuff together for me. So my husband, he bought me, like, a container for, like, I got a bunch of hats. I said, what? I don't got that many hats. I don't need a container for these hats. I needed it.
Langston Kerman
Oh, yeah.
J. Jordan
And this connected to my mom My mom, she had a lot of hats, church hats. When she went to my granddad's funeral.
David Bore
It's the same thing, though.
J. Jordan
Yeah. When she went. Thank you.
David Bore
It's the same time as.
J. Jordan
They are our fascinators.
David Bore
Yeah, it's the same thing.
J. Jordan
She got a bunch of church hats. My mom, she was going to my granddad's, her dad's funeral in Atlanta. She got on a plane with a hat box. James Brown is on the plane.
David Bore
James Crown flew commercial.
J. Jordan
Yeah, well, this was. He was in the front, but this was. This was like.
David Bore
He has to be in the front, otherwise my world crumble.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, he's in the front. They're going to Atlanta.
Langston Kerman
They let him fly it.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Okay.
J. Jordan
Yeah, man.
David Bore
He is like our Charlie Sheen, I would say, you know, they let Charlie Sheen fly the plane, and then I'm like, james Brown is kind of like our Charlie Sheen.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I would say so.
J. Jordan
And this is that. We've seen multiple interviews where you high. Yeah. Don't lie to me. But he's in the. He sees my mom with the hat box. This is a story my mom told me, and I literally tell it every time someone brings up hats or James Brown. My mom was grieving her father, and the thing she sees when she gets on this plane is a bunch of smiling, happy people about James Brown. She don't wanna see James Brown. She gets James Brown. James Brown sees my mom, she's kind of sad, but she has a box with her. And J. Brown goes, hey, gotta have. He sees this wonderful Southern woman getting on a plane. Kind of sad. And he thinks he's gonna cheer up. He don't know my granddaddy died. She's sad. He go, gotta have back. Yeah, that's amazing.
Langston Kerman
He just was giving her a little something.
J. Jordan
I'm here for you, baby. Yeah. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's really sweet.
David Bore
That's really crazy.
Langston Kerman
That's a really.
J. Jordan
No, James Brown. Stop trying to fuck my mama. She grieving.
David Bore
You don't know. Listen, don't put that. It could have been altruistic.
Langston Kerman
That's true.
David Bore
I like. I think it was altruistic.
Langston Kerman
I think James Brown was giving a little bit of his soul to your mom in that moment.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Okay. But it's like. And that was like, when the first time I was like, mom, that's funny. That's funny.
David Bore
Do you think you have more hats than your mom? Sorry, we can.
Langston Kerman
No.
J. Jordan
Well, now, you know. Now I think she has different types of hats. Cause she be switching it up. My mom, she switches up now. Cause my sister in law, she do hair. So my. My mom, she. My mom can jump the line. We talking about barber etiquette before the pod started. But my mom, I'm not always talking about. She be jumping the line when it comes to crystal. My sister in law, she do hair. My mama will take your spot. Yeah, my mama, you know, there's grandbabies now.
Langston Kerman
She gets to say, yeah, wow.
David Bore
And she earned it.
J. Jordan
She be switching her hair up a lot now. My mama will send me a selfie.
Langston Kerman
I'll be like, okay, you're really being loose out in society.
J. Jordan
Braids on my mama.
David Bore
Cause.
J. Jordan
Because.
David Bore
Did you not have braids young?
J. Jordan
No, not so for your mom. For my mom to get braids and black and blonde braids in her 60s. My first thought was, I love it. I said, who is my mama dating? Who is my mama sneaking out to sea?
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Are your parents together?
J. Jordan
No, my dad, he passed away. He passed away when I was 15, so. And they got divorced, so he never.
Langston Kerman
Got seen black anymore.
J. Jordan
He never got to see.
David Bore
Talk about out to sea. Your mama's going on a carnival.
J. Jordan
Tom Joyner.
Langston Kerman
Oh, that's a classic.
J. Jordan
Yeah, my mama is going on a voyage to Atlantis.
David Bore
Okay, okay.
J. Jordan
The island brothers.
Langston Kerman
Brothers got a tour.
J. Jordan
Yeah, the Isaac brothers. They taking turns hitting on my mama. I know what's. I used to. I couldn't really sexualize my mother until I got into my 30s. My mom went to the super bowl one time in. I want to say in Jacksonville.
David Bore
She went to the Super Bowl.
J. Jordan
She went to the super bowl with this man. His name is Dr. Trulli at one point.
David Bore
Not Mr. Trulley?
J. Jordan
No, no, no. He was a doctor.
David Bore
Did you call him Dr. Trulli?
J. Jordan
Yeah, I called him doct. I was gonna call him William.
David Bore
You didn't call him Mr. William?
J. Jordan
No, I called him Dr. Trulley.
David Bore
Okay.
J. Jordan
That's right. And then my mama only called him William when she was mad. And so I was like, oh, y' all date.
Langston Kerman
Oh, she called him Dr. Truly.
J. Jordan
And she called him Dr. Trulli in front of us. But then on the phone, she'd be saying stuff like, well, William. I'd be like, okay.
Langston Kerman
Well, they mad.
J. Jordan
So he took her to the Super Bowl. It was Eagles versus Patriots. Cause I remember being like, my mom was going to the Super Bowl. And at the time, I was like, she's going to the Super Bowl. That's crazy. Now, looking back on it, my mama got flew out.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah. No, she got flew out.
J. Jordan
My mama got flew out on the.
David Bore
Highest stage, My mama got flew out.
J. Jordan
On the highest stage, he said, to the Super Bowl.
David Bore
Flew out to the Super Bowl. That's way different than, like, a carnival event.
Langston Kerman
He said, on the most important day of the year, I choose your mama.
David Bore
The biggest media event in America.
J. Jordan
Yeah. And he's a good man for doing that. It didn't work out, but looking back on it, I ain't flying nobody else's Super Bowl.
David Bore
No, you have a husband.
J. Jordan
Yeah. I mean, I still could if I want to, but that's.
David Bore
No, but, I mean, you don't fly him out.
J. Jordan
Yeah, I don't fly him out. He ain't here. Come on.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, we asked about him. You were like, yeah.
David Bore
You said I couldn't fly him.
J. Jordan
I said, no, no, no. He ain't coming to this.
Langston Kerman
I wouldn't fly him.
J. Jordan
He'll listen at home.
Langston Kerman
Jay, we need to take a break.
David Bore
Oh, yes.
Langston Kerman
We have not even begun to address the conspiracy you showed up with today. Yes. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna take a break, we're gonna come back, we're gonna chat about your conspiracy, then we'll do a voicemail if we have time.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
Well, y' all are cooking. We have fun.
Langston Kerman
No, it's great. This is an awesome episode.
J. Jordan
We talked about my. My mama. Hoenn, I'm not. Oh, this is why I say this.
David Bore
Dating.
J. Jordan
No, I'll say this. So dating. Yes. But because my mom was on this plane to the Super Bowl. She was on it with some sex workers, and we love sex work. Oh.
David Bore
Cause it was a Super Bowl.
Langston Kerman
Super Bowl.
J. Jordan
My mom. I cannot make this up. She got on the plane, it was a bunch of girls in dresses with, like, tiny suitcases, and they all on the plane. They all going down Jacksonville. My mom says, I'm so excited.
David Bore
Excited.
J. Jordan

David Bore
What?
Langston Kerman
Oh, no, brother.
David Bore
That is an episode of Living Single.
J. Jordan
You a working girl?
Langston Kerman
Suddenly you had a Robert Ory party.

More.
Langston Kerman
My mama told me.

But we're gonna do this respectfully. Otherwise we'll end in a duel. And I mean a duel. Real life duel where only one person walks away.
J. Jordan
We can meet with guns, bottles, knives.
Voicemail Caller
Or books and equations, but we're gonna.
Langston Kerman
Do this like men.
Voicemail Caller
So get ready.
David Bore
Get ready.
J. Jordan
We're back.
Langston Kerman
Get ready.
J. Jordan
Are you auditioning? Did you get the side for the Terrence Howard biopic Brother?
Langston Kerman
When it is available. When he's finally ready to do some.
J. Jordan
Work, you better believe I think his accomplishments are recognized.
Langston Kerman
Recognized is what you're saying and what I'll say. And this isn't me, like, in any. I have no idea what my future is. Right. Like, I'm not one of these who pretends that, like, I'm gonna become some big celebrity. Maybe that happens, maybe that doesn't.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
But what I will commit to is that no matter what scale of celebrity I become, I am committed to the Terrence Howard film the second it is available.
David Bore
You heard it here first. I would.
J. Jordan
I man Deadline exclusive reporters.
Langston Kerman
I become the biggest star in the world, which I don't anticip. If by chance I should fall upon a magic that allows me to become a true champion of all men, I will still serve at the Terrence Howard throne.
David Bore
Okay, man. Cause I would love to see middle terrance.
J. Jordan
Ooh.
David Bore
Like Mr. Holland's opus terrance. Where it's like, it's working, but you don't know how big it's gonna get. Like, pre Empire. You know what I'm saying? Cause he was around. Wasn't he, in Sunset park, bro?
Langston Kerman
He's been around for many.
J. Jordan
Well, he was in every black movie, and then also someh in every white TV show. And then, like, Empire was like a career renaissance. It was like he had already. Hustle and flow had already happened.
Langston Kerman
We thought we were done with Terrence Howard.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Little did we know, one times one.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's two.
J. Jordan
That's two.
Langston Kerman
Cause check the math.
J. Jordan
Where we at?
Langston Kerman
Right there.
J. Jordan
You got two of them. If I got a one and I got a one, how does that. Where this going?
David Bore
He's literally doing that magic trick where you go like this.
Langston Kerman
I like that. You can do it better with one hand.
David Bore
I'm left handed. He took this to Harvard and he.
J. Jordan
Said, wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Time out. Hey, hey, devil, devil. They said, matt Damon, come here. Look at this. How about these apples?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Do you think the Terrence Howard movie. Do you think he. Do you think it gets to real theaters, or do you think it's like a Tubi exclusive?
Langston Kerman
Brother, that's not for us to decide.
David Bore
That's fair.
J. Jordan
No, it's gonna be on the app he owns and creates.
David Bore
That's the problem is now I have to give my information to watch the movie.
Langston Kerman
And that's what I meant. I didn't mean to be dismissive. I just mean that this is for Terrence Howard to choose what he wants, his future.
J. Jordan
Y' all know how, like, listen, everything in the entertainment industry is kind of like, moving towards people being more and more siloed. But there are gonna be celebrities that go, well, I haven't seen. If you download this app, you can have access to me 24 7. Yep. And you go. You mean a phone? You just. You. That's. You giving us your phone number? That's it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You can reach out to me. I'll reach back.
Langston Kerman
Everything I post will be available to you.
J. Jordan
I'll text you as a phone.
David Bore
Can I say that the saddest thing that ever has happened to me in Hollywood is seeing people I used to watch on tv Tell me about an app.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah.
David Bore
Like, just, like, in different. It happened to us outside.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah.
David Bore
When he was like, no, no, no.
Langston Kerman
And we're like, yeah. Really breaking down that.
J. Jordan
Listen, before y' doye told this story, I'll tell this story as a Hollywood improv. That particular person looked at me and Yadoye Travis Skulls and said, by the shape of y' all's head, Fredonji, I can tell what part of West Africa you from. I might even can figure out what tribe he guessed twice.
Langston Kerman
What?
J. Jordan
Eudoye got it wrong both ways, of course.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, absolutely.
David Bore
What did he guess? What was the guess?
J. Jordan
Well, you know, he guessed the two big Nigerian tribes, and Yadoy was like, Igbo and Yoruba.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
And then he was like, no. And he was like, well, that's really all I came here with.
Langston Kerman
That's interesting.
J. Jordan
All right. He said, well, maybe you don't know.
David Bore
I like that, though. I do like that. Maybe you don't know.
Langston Kerman
Maybe you just haven't done your research.
J. Jordan
Yeah, maybe you. You're not familiar with that. And then he got to me. He's like, well, gay people is different. You've been corrupted.
Langston Kerman
See, brother, you had your skull pounded in.
J. Jordan
Yeah, that's when I had to be like, nigga, you wore the dress. You was. You was. Oh, man.
David Bore
But anyways, get the My Mama Told Me app.
Langston Kerman
It's gonna be a good app.
David Bore
We're selling all kinds of stuff. You thought Erykah Badu could sell incense that smells like a pussy? Wait till you see the incense we're selling, bro.
Langston Kerman
If you want to.
J. Jordan
What?
Langston Kerman
I'm googly mapping without actually going to.
J. Jordan
Places.
Langston Kerman
Available on the app.
David Bore
If you want to see the last 30 days of my search history. Whoa.
Langston Kerman
Okay, that's dangerous.
David Bore
It's way weirder. It's like, weird shit.
J. Jordan
But that is true bravery.
David Bore
No, I wouldn't actually do it. This is a bit. I can't allow anyone to. I wouldn't let my spouse see that.
Langston Kerman
It's too vulnerable.
J. Jordan
When the likes went away on Twitter. I. I was happy.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
No, I don't need.
J. Jordan
I got to it.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
It's too vulnerable. I can't be out there like that.
David Bore
No, no. And it's like, you're not. I'm never as stupid as I am in my searches.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
No, that's not.
J. Jordan
Cause you're asking. That's privacy. You go, hey, I don't know. Don't tell anyone. I don't know this.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
But I am. I'm looking up this again.
David Bore
Or sometimes I'm like, the people I'm trying to prove it to are right next to me.
Langston Kerman
And I bet our grandpas wouldn't, like, if we knew every page in the dictionary. You know what I mean?
Voicemail Caller
Every.
David Bore
Like, every.
Langston Kerman
Encyclopedia Britannica. Stop that. They went on, like, a few of those you were a little embarrassed about. Yeah.
David Bore
You know what I mean?
J. Jordan
Yeah. You do understand that now we have infinitely more access than they did, so we are asking even more because they probably were just like, I need to spell this I before E. What's going on? We're able to be. Be like, rapist. Yeah, I'm on a show with him. Okay.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
All right. It says not guilty. Okay, we can take the picture. That's what comedy is now. Comedy is like, okay, well, like, bad rapists or like, we don't know yet. Rapists, duh.
David Bore
Comedy is not fun is what it is. It's fun for us to do.
Langston Kerman
But, like, as a whole, yeah, this is a bummer.
David Bore
It's as fun as I had working at the gas station.
J. Jordan
Okay.
David Bore
Yeah.
J. Jordan
In the sense you be like, hey, man, don't say that about women. They can hear.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, you're on coke.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they go, I know, David. We're on coke.
David Bore
I don't work here.
Langston Kerman
Jay, you came to us with a conspiracy today that we're very excited about. You said, my mama told me.
David Bore
All.
J. Jordan
Black celebrities know each other. Every black celebrity.
Langston Kerman
Every black celebrity knows each other.
J. Jordan
And she believes this because she'll see things like, Chris Rock will get slapped. And then, like, Denzel and Tyler Perry will go over to Will and pray for him. Samuel Jackson will pray for him, too. Like, she thinks that there is a level of fame where you just lock in with all the famous black people. Whoa. Yeah. She thinks that I'm close to that. And I go, it's not happening. It's never gonna happen. And I've made fun of Tyler Perry too much, if that exists. I excommunicated.
David Bore
You're in good company, man.
J. Jordan
I have made fun of that, man. But she thinks they be calling each other. She thinks being a black celebrity is like going to the big church in town. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I see.
David Bore
Do you think that now it's so disjointed? I think there was a time where it was more like that than we would think, probably. Yeah, I do think that I do, because I think there was like. It's like, have you ever been, I don't know, on like a show or a festival or some shit, and there's two people who are in the same whatever, and they gravitate to each other just cause there's no more of them here or whatever.
J. Jordan
Or when all the black comics at a comedy festival take a picture together, you can get the black comics in. And there's one person who comes in, you go, you black. Okay.
David Bore
All right.
J. Jordan
I was okay.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Glad you're here.
David Bore
I thought it was a little more bimbop than hip hop, but, yeah, you know what? That was maybe the point.
J. Jordan
Wait, that's funniest. That was maybe the one of the guess what? Fried wings. Either way. Yeah.
David Bore
Come on. We all like chicken.
J. Jordan
We all like. Yeah, my granddaddy taught you how to do that.
Langston Kerman
There's a part of me that I think feels almost closer to your mother in this story than away from her. Like, I do think that it is not as every black celebrity knows each other, but I think after a certain level, they all do kind of know each other.
J. Jordan
My mama thinks that I'm close to getting the black celebrity, and I just want her to know that's not happening.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, there's a few ascensions and you are famous and doing well. And we're all very proud of you young people.
J. Jordan
Thank you. It means a lot. I spent so many days at this community center, really just not getting picked for basketball. And I'm so happy that I get to come here and do the ribbon cutting now.
David Bore
Your name's on the gym.
J. Jordan
Yeah, Yeah. I didn't play a lick. I was bad.
David Bore
We don't remember.
J. Jordan
I had asthma.
Langston Kerman
Nobody knows how you shoot, man.
David Bore
I saw him drop 2:28.
J. Jordan
No, my mama, she just thinks that, like, there is, like, this level of black fame that feels like a family reunion. And I just want to be like, no. I don't know if that's because we're fractured now.
David Bore
We are fractured now. I also think there's a level. And your mom may not know about this, but this is real. There's also a Level when people get successful to a point where it's like they pretend to know each other anyways. Like, think about, think about. I've had people within my career, which is not huge, where it was. It was like before I was in open mode, and then they saw something or saw. And now it's like, what's up? You know what I mean? So I think there's, like, a ton of that. I think there's a ton of that. Cause that's happened to all of us, right? That's happened to you before.
J. Jordan
Like, when an older black comic says your name and you go, how the fuck you know my name?
David Bore
Or it's like, I remember when we were in audition together and you wouldn't look me in my eyes.
Langston Kerman
And all.
David Bore
All of a sudden, now I say something and you're like, that's the most Dave and boring thing to say. And you're like, you don't like me.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You didn't treat me like a man up to this point.
David Bore
I'll tell you who it is after this is over.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God. Well, now maybe my mom was closer to right than wrong.
Langston Kerman
That's how I feel.
J. Jordan
It's not exact.
David Bore
I think so. And I think because of that, it often comes up. Cause, like, you ever notice celebrities don't. At least from what I've seen in my experience, and entertainment celebrities don't like to admit that they don't know other celebrities. Like, if somebody's hot, they'll always attest.
J. Jordan
To it because there's an amount of, like, social currency where it's like, you're not behind the times. I know everybody.
David Bore
Yeah. No, that's my best friend.
J. Jordan
This is my best friend. We go to. My God. Yeah.
David Bore
I love.
J. Jordan
Is it Rod Wave? I love Rod Wave.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
That's not Rod Wave. Yeah, Rod Wave.
David Bore
He loves to surf. Me and him surf together.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think there is a need for community at all times and that. And I think once you reach a certain level of selection, there's only, like, eight people you can even vibe with. And so it's why Michelle Obama gives fucking George Bush the mints at the funeral. It's like, oh, bro, we're the only ones that can talk about what we've done.
David Bore
You know what it's like? It's like being old people.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
It's like when you hear old people talk about being so old that they're like, I don't even have. I was in all these rooms. There's nobody else around who was even in those rooms, who I can talk to. I think it becomes a similar thing.
Langston Kerman
That I. I think the reason birds chirp is because when they wake up in the morning, they just want to scream to everybody. They survive the night.
David Bore
Is that what that is?
Langston Kerman
That's all it is. That, like, when they wake up and everybody's going crazy, it's just them going, I survived. I survived.
J. Jordan
Okay. I'm okay.
Langston Kerman
I'm okay. I'm okay.
J. Jordan
Langston, While I believe that is true from a biological standpoint, it is very close to Taraji saying, do you know why we run away when we laugh? Because we couldn't laugh. I am. It was very close to that.
Langston Kerman
First of all, you leave her out of this.
David Bore
I thought it was funnier that I ran away. It was funnier. I'm sorry.
J. Jordan
It was funny.
David Bore
It was. I was trying to commit to. I was trying to help you out.
Langston Kerman
No, it was great.
J. Jordan
Thank you. It was. It was just. You said they survived the night and stuff is out to kill birds all the time. Cats mostly.
Langston Kerman
I think they've got mostly predators.
J. Jordan
Which, in a way, as a comic, that's kind of. We're dealing with that, too.
Langston Kerman
Birds are female comics.
J. Jordan
Birds are female comics in the sense that people go kind of shrill, and.
David Bore
They keep being like, I survived. I survived.
Langston Kerman
And we go, shut the fuck up.
J. Jordan
They go, oh, my God. Can you. Can you say that differently?
Langston Kerman
I'm trying to sleep, lady.
J. Jordan
Hey, stop talking. Let me focus on your breasts.
David Bore
I don't.
J. Jordan
That's a Jake. I be putting my titties out, too, in solidarity.
David Bore
You do get naked on TV or on the Internet.
J. Jordan
I got naked on tv.
David Bore
Did you really?
J. Jordan
Yeah. Hbo. One of the first things I ever got. It was I was basically a sex worker on high maintenance, and my agent was like, they're asking for full frontal. We're gonna settle for rear. I said, why can't we do full frontal? They said, jake. Okay. Your first time on tv, don't show. Cause then you have no place to go.
David Bore
That's.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
David Bore
I mean, you could just turn around.
J. Jordan
Well, what do you mean?
Langston Kerman
Interesting.
David Bore
They seen your dick? They haven't seen your butt.
J. Jordan
No, but you gotta show the butt first.
Langston Kerman
You usually show both.
J. Jordan
You show butt first.
David Bore
If you're showing dick, you're showing butt, too?
Langston Kerman
Usually, yeah, if you're showing butt.
David Bore
What if I'd rather show my dick than my butt?
J. Jordan
You are a very specific.
David Bore
Well, I'm an oddly proportioned man.
Langston Kerman
But congrats on that dick.
J. Jordan
Congrats on that. That's what I'm saying.
David Bore
What are you talking about? There's two options. You go.
J. Jordan
You gotta tell me to put my dick away.
David Bore
Actually.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Bore
I'm gonna try to sneak it into the butt shot.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I'm gonna go butt every time.
J. Jordan
I'm going profile.
David Bore
If you go butt every time.
Langston Kerman
I go butt every time. Well, here's what I got is private. That's for me.
J. Jordan
And you don't wanna see your wife.
David Bore
Nope.
Langston Kerman
She don't gotta look down there.
J. Jordan
This man is mine.
David Bore
This is my dick.
Langston Kerman
It's up here.
J. Jordan
Stop looking at it.
David Bore
Working.
J. Jordan
Connecting.
David Bore
Oh, that's. So wait, so you did do full frontal or.
J. Jordan
No, I've shown my butt. I haven't shown. I haven't shown my. My dick on camera. I've done, like, scenes in my underwear. So, like, if you get. And then, like, there are enough speedo pictures that if people know trigonometry, they can, like, do the calculation. Well, if we look at this back.
David Bore
The sign, the cosine, and the tangent.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
Good for you for pulling that back.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah. Someone paid attention.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
No, I just have little things that I remember that I can pull out to trick people who don't know math.
J. Jordan
Okay. Cause. Okay. And tell me if y'.
Langston Kerman
All.
J. Jordan
Did this happen to y'? All? 11th and 12th grade math to me was the performance of math. 10th grade, I was in it. College algebra, a little bit of geometry. I still got you. I understand why radius is important. Area is important. When we got to trig and, like, really were messing around on the Texas industry instrument calculators.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Oh, yeah. It was all just learning how to.
J. Jordan
And honestly learning how to pass the test.
David Bore
Yeah. Learning how to put stuff into that calculator.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
And then also playing Mario Brothers. Did you guys have computers?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Mario. You get games on your calculator?
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
But then I don't understand what that math was.
J. Jordan
I haven't. I know you're supposed to be able to use it to, like, see the sun or something or, like, know that's.
Langston Kerman
How you can look at it.
J. Jordan
Yeah, but I don't.
Langston Kerman
If you learn the math, you could stare directly at it. Even during that work. Even during an eclipse, you could just keep staring. Cause, you know, Matt, what happens, though.
David Bore
If you stare at a clip? Like you're trying to do a pillar.
Langston Kerman
Or something, you're gonna fry your eyeballs.
J. Jordan
Wait, you went biblical?
David Bore
Who did that happen to?
J. Jordan
Lot's wife.
Langston Kerman
It's not a literal Lot's wife.
J. Jordan
She turned back which one are you asking? Who are you asking?
David Bore
Who got their eyeballs pried? Not the pillar of salt. You told the pillar of salt.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, the pillar of salt was Lot's wife.
J. Jordan
I went straight to the. Yeah.
David Bore
Cause she was. He was like, we don't live there anymore. Yeah.
J. Jordan
God firebombed that city. Not for being gay, for trying to rape angels. Everyone who doesn't know about Sodom and Gomorrah.
David Bore
You're mispronouncing. It's rape anal.
J. Jordan
No, they were trying. No, they were trying to rape angels. Yeah.
David Bore
So we're gonna get taken off of YouTube. Well.
J. Jordan
Well, okay. Wake it up.
David Bore
I'm kidding.
J. Jordan
I'm kidding. So Lot welcomed these angels into his home, and then the men of the village were like, them things was cute.
David Bore
Hey, she had ass.
J. Jordan
Hey, hey, hey, listen. So it was gang rape, but gay.
Langston Kerman
I think the gang rape was the priority.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Yeah. Was it?
David Bore
They were boy angels.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Are there a lot of girl angels?
J. Jordan
Well, angels, I mean, but I think there was mostly just wings and flames and eyeballs.
Langston Kerman
Angel Reese.
J. Jordan
Angel Reese. I saw someone do an Angel Reese Halloween costume recently. Can I show y'? All?
David Bore
No, no, no, no. It was the white girl. Oh, that's so funny. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I don't even remember where we were.
David Bore
We were talking about girl angels.
Langston Kerman
Oh, girl angels.
David Bore
I don't know any.
Langston Kerman
I don't know that the Bible is writing about them. We sort of. They are the Harley Quinn of our world.
David Bore
Oh.
Langston Kerman
We created those afterwards. And everybody was like, yeah.
J. Jordan
That's been in here the whole time.
David Bore
Yeah. Cause there's none by name, right? No.
J. Jordan
All the archangels are boys.
David Bore
Yeah. Michael and Gabriel and stuff.
Langston Kerman
But I do think the rape was more the prank.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
I didn't. I didn't know that they were coming for that. For that, I guess. Angel butt.
J. Jordan
Angel booty.
David Bore
And I. I, I didn't know.
J. Jordan
Does that mean part of that angel food cake.
Langston Kerman
That works on two levels?
J. Jordan
Yeah, no, that was.
David Bore
That was. That was trigonometry. Yeah. Yeah. That was a Texas instrument show.
Langston Kerman
That was a Pharaoh mont. Yeah, I think. What the fuck are we talking about?
David Bore
I don't know. I don't really know. I got dizzy.
Langston Kerman
I've lost track of my.
J. Jordan
You said if you know the trigonometry, you can look at the sun. You said burned retinas. Burned retinas.
Langston Kerman
We're talking about the community of celebrities, and one of the things that it reminds me of is how often I. I don't think average people necessarily know this, but how often celebrities are constantly being invited into the same room with each other?
J. Jordan
Oh, yeah.
Langston Kerman
Where like event after event after event, you are being asked to, like, share space. Be it like premieres, be it like weird sales events. Your PR works with this other group that also is throwing a party that it'd be cool for y' all to show up to. And so in that way, I think a bunch of celebrities meet each other and then that performative element kicks in and know you, you go, well, I met you already. People are looking all the time.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Smile for the picture. This one's gonna make it to ebony.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, exactly. This is an opportunity to advance my skills.
J. Jordan
I've had that moment.
David Bore
I just can't wait. I'll quit. If I get to take a picture with somebody and I know it's going into empathy, that's good enough for me. I'm going to buy a franchise somewhere. That's what I'm trying to do.
J. Jordan
It is, I think there, I think they're just. The communities are smaller and more specific. Like, if my mom said that about black out queer male comedians, I'd be like, yeah, I can text Dwayne. I can text Solomon.
David Bore
Right, right, right.
J. Jordan
I can text Alex.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Bore
That would be a.
Langston Kerman
The fact that y' all don't have a group chat.
David Bore
I was gonna say that would be a toxic group chat. From what I know of all of.
J. Jordan
You individually, me, Alex and Duane took a picture, I think in Austin together randomly at a club and I posted it and someone was like, yeah, I think that's all of them.
David Bore
Yeah. Got em.
J. Jordan
Yeah. If there would have been a fire that night, we would have lost it.
Langston Kerman
It'd be a really fun group.
David Bore
It's like if me, Reggie Conquest and Mandel take a picture together. Angel, Mellow brother. I'm telling you, as a fat comic, though, we knew Mandel was coming. Me and Jamel were like, he's going to la.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Bore
How many funny shirts are there? Yeah, there's not enough funny shirts in this city.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Well, I as, I'll always sing the praises of Mando. And I remember one time, he's the funniest guy. He's also truly. He is the funniest person who at least up until the always would say, man, I'm about to wrap it up. I don't want to do comedy no more. I'm about to get to cdl. Headlining's for y'.
Langston Kerman
All.
David Bore
He said he wanted to be the greatest feature of all time. I do get that, though. Because I feel that in my heart all the time.
Langston Kerman
I'm calling it out now. And Mandel's a dear friend. I love him with all of my heart. I think he's a goddamn liar. I think he knows that he's the funniest.
J. Jordan
Wait, wait. You don't think he could do a backflip?
Langston Kerman
I think he knows he's the funniest human being on the planet. And I think this is all a ruse to get us to just let him slide on a bunch of goofy shit till he ascends past everyone.
David Bore
Yo, Mandel, not knowing anybody is gonna be. That's gonna be Peak Mandela.
Langston Kerman
I think he's gonna put them hats on and mean it.
David Bore
Oh, yeah.
J. Jordan
You think when he goes, hey, y' all be easy. Yeah. He gets in a truck, he should.
Langston Kerman
Be like, we'll see.
David Bore
He's gonna be like, make me a dog that looks like a monkey.
J. Jordan
With sleeves down the hair walking around. Mandel is funny because Mandel also utilizes the fact that he can say any word funnier than you. So him saying that's like a tough thing.
David Bore
Those people are always. You can't even fight it.
J. Jordan
Him saying Japan and it not being racist, but Japan. A lot of people would go racial. He just went silly. Pure silly. Silly. Silly is like ethanol. You gotta cut it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
You go pure silly.
Langston Kerman
I'm what that man lives in a silly that I have not yet found.
David Bore
There's a freedom in that, and I.
Langston Kerman
Don'T know that I ever will find. And in that way, I'm deeply envious of him.
J. Jordan
He's busy trying to be cute.
Langston Kerman
And I'll say, I'm not gonna give up on being cute. And I'm also not gonna give up on him so he can cut the ruse. I know you're lying.
David Bore
That's. I'm trying to get. Get sillier.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
I'm too grounded.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
I hate whimsy.
Langston Kerman
You are anti silly.
David Bore
At times, it kind of pisses me off.
J. Jordan
And I don't cut that silly shit out. I just listen to. You're silly.
David Bore
Yeah, sometimes very silly sometimes. But, like, most of the time, it makes me angry. I get so mad.
Langston Kerman
You are silly, but you like to return to straight man.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Like, you like to get silly than a motherfucker, but then be like, hey, but stop.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
Since we are speaking of, like, being silly and irreverent, are y' all noticing so many comics kind of. They skip silly and go to transgressive when they could be silly about a Thing instead of being, like, angry about it.
David Bore
I think it's. Cause they don't have that gear, though. Cause silly, I do think, coincides with actual humor. I think silly is funny. And I think a lot of people. You know what it is? It's all these new cool guys. Cause we talk about. It's all for losers.
J. Jordan
This horseshit's for losers.
David Bore
All these new cool guys. Cool guys are the least silly.
J. Jordan
And guess what? And guess what. It's even more than just guys who think they're cool. It's men who think they're the manliest men. Okay?
David Bore
I'm scared of men.
J. Jordan
If you.
David Bore
That's why I'm over here.
J. Jordan
If you think that you're a manly comedian. A manly comedian? Nigga, we both wearing makeup. Yeah.
David Bore
What are you talking about?
J. Jordan
We're both on stage doing poems, basically.
Langston Kerman
I am as desperate as you are. Stop pretending like.
David Bore
Yeah, it's like, not. Cause. But you know why they get to do that? Because they get to do that because there's no men over here.
J. Jordan
Okay?
David Bore
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You know what I'm saying?
David Bore
I think they saw it. I think a few kind of tough guys seen it, and they were like, oh, it's sweet over here.
Langston Kerman
The toughest comic I know is Sam J.
David Bore
That's the.
Langston Kerman
That's the. I know that.
J. Jordan
Sam J. Comes to the cellar. You go, hey, tuck your chain.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You go, hey, I don't know how.
J. Jordan
She gonna feel about Sam J.
Voicemail Caller
Coming.
Langston Kerman
Hey, hey, hey.
J. Jordan
Somebody laughing.
Langston Kerman
Sam J Is our Omar, so stop all that laughing.
J. Jordan
Sam J. Shows up and everyone goes, hey, hey, hey. How about that giggling.
David Bore
I've seen it. I've seen. I. I've seen. Talk about. I've seen people be nice to me. Cause I'm with Sam.
Langston Kerman
That's why I like being with her. She makes me feel safe.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God.
Langston Kerman
I like it. I like feeling safe.
J. Jordan
Sam J. Can come.
David Bore
Sam J. Makes you feel strong. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Little spoon. She Big spoon.
J. Jordan
She can come over to a group of people talking and be like, what's so funny? We'll be like, nothing. Nah, you wouldn't like it. Nothing. Nothing.
David Bore
Nah.
J. Jordan
What so funny? Nothing. Nothing. Yeah, we. We were talking about basketball. No, y' all weren't.
Langston Kerman
I think as far as man strength and manliness. Shut the up. That's not the point of the game that we play.
David Bore
It's not even. It's. It's such a. It's such a crazy ruse, and I get it, because there's a lot of men looking for whatever on the Internet.
J. Jordan
A daddy. Say it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Bore
All that. But, like. But, like, that's not. We're dumb over here, man. Like, we gotta, like, chew on.
J. Jordan
But they also think. They think. And I can speak on. They think that the end of all of this manly shit is success in a very. I get a convertible and a bunch of money and a bunch of big titty women sort of way, and you go, nigga, this is comedy. You getting drink tickets for most of it. And at the end of it, maybe you get a girl with cool boobs and tattoos. Maybe you are not getting action star shit because you chose comedy.
David Bore
Action star. That's what you're doing over here.
J. Jordan
You wanted to hoop.
Announcer
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And you just weren't good enough at sports to do that.
J. Jordan
So what do you want?
David Bore
Well.
Langston Kerman
Cause I knew I wasn't gonna make it. I knew the whole time. That's why I was like, I'll be the funny one on the team.
David Bore
Yeah. I was just not gonna get taller. And that's okay.
Langston Kerman
That was it. I was scared to go to the basket.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I feel it every time.
David Bore
This hurts.
J. Jordan
This hurts.
David Bore
No.
Langston Kerman
And I learned a decent mid range. That got me through a lot of sh.
J. Jordan
Yeah, let that out.
Langston Kerman
But, like, there was a part of my brain that just wasn't strong enough to be able to be, like, a nigga at the rim. And so I was. I knew it wasn't happening.
David Bore
Yeah.
J. Jordan
It just is.
Langston Kerman
Y' all can accept.
J. Jordan
You wanna have tough. You have to be. To be, like, less than, like, six' three to be good at basketball. You have to be Derrick Rose. You have to be a gang member.
Langston Kerman
Yes.
David Bore
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You have to be a gang member.
Langston Kerman
Or at least affiliate.
J. Jordan
Affiliate. So be careful. He gotta go back.
Langston Kerman
Hey, we're not here to decide who in it who isn't. We just know that his brother kept him safe.
David Bore
Also, Derrick Rose, you have to be tough enough to achieve your childhood dream and have it not show on your face. Bro, just drop it. And then I couldn't. I would. There are things Derrick Rose has done in his career that would make me cry. I would cry. I would cry.
J. Jordan
Much like. Okay. Much like basketball right now, I think also people discuss comedy through an ahistorical lens. So right now, everyone says, oh, basketball's not great. I go, basketball's amazing. I don't know why y' all lying the same way. People go, oh, well, you know, especially. I'm gonna say especially black people when they discuss comedy now. I go, wait a second, nigga, are you watching or are you just remembering what you used to love? Cause I watch comedy, too. But what are you watching currently?
David Bore
Yeah, I don't think there. I don't think anybody watches comedy. I think people watch clips. I think they like personalities. I think people listen to.
J. Jordan
I don't even know if they watch clips. If there's.
David Bore
When they stand up, I think they watch personality.
J. Jordan
True, true.
David Bore
I think they watch clips that give insight into your personality or give your politics, and they align themselves out.
Langston Kerman
I think the. I think the true fan base of comedy are people who do comedy.
David Bore
Oh, we've been talking about that a lot.
J. Jordan
Like, a handful comments are watching the majority of the comedy, and I think.
David Bore
It'S how many your fans want to do it. Wow. They always want to do it.
J. Jordan
Some of my fans, they know they can't because they can't because they have trouble making eye contact in the meet and greet. I say, well, baby, you ain't going.
David Bore
No, we all do meet and greets. All of us do mean greets after our shows.
J. Jordan
It's different for different people.
David Bore
Do you guys do mean greets more gays?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
Well, because, like, they trying to see some meat. Yeah. How we spelling meat? How we spelling me?
Langston Kerman
They trying to greet some meat. You know what I mean?
J. Jordan
You know, there's a whole app for meat and greets. I can send snippies. But whenever, you know, like, whenever you plan a place and like, the queer people and the black people show up and they're happy to be there, they do want a picture with a comedian because they did kind of go out of their way to go. That's not necessarily cool. Young, queer, and black. Like, that does happen.
David Bore
That doesn't happen in that way for me. It happens like when I'm in Springfield, Missouri, and this guy comes up, he's like, I love the podcast. He was like, I just married a white girl, and I live out here exclusively now. And then the same man says to me, I only eat black foods.
J. Jordan
Okay. And then you do have to go, what does that mean?
David Bore
Yeah, yeah. And then he tells me macaroni and cheese ri.
Langston Kerman
Like, he breaks it down for you.
David Bore
Yeah, I got a picture of. I'll show you guys after. I got a picture of him in my phone.
J. Jordan
Okay. But those are the people who's cooking these foods for him, though.
David Bore
I think he does. I don't think he lets a white lady cook. She didn't even come to the show. She wasn't even at the show.
Langston Kerman
We really wanted you to know. He honors the. He recognizes that he made a mistake and he honors.
David Bore
Yeah. It was at Springfield, Missouri. It's when I did that Bring David a plate show where people were bringing me plates.
J. Jordan
What? He brought a plate?
David Bore
Yeah, he brought a plate.
Langston Kerman
He's like, look, I do want you to know that. That white hands did touch this plate, but not the food on top of it.
David Bore
Exactly.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Yeah.
David Bore
She put the foil on it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
And that's because I give her little shorts.
J. Jordan
Showed up like, Dirk, Dirk. Now, Dirk Nowitzki used to have the 104 play in the tunnel. That black woman said, baby, put something on your rib. Dirk. Dirk, you gotta put something on your belly. Dirk.
Langston Kerman
I baked that chicken. Go ahead, man.
J. Jordan
But that. That. Such a German white man thing to do is to have a black woman and be like, don't eat that food. He's like, I'm gonna eat my wife's food. Don't make fun of me, you guys.
Langston Kerman
I really want her to be here.
J. Jordan
I'm a multimillionaire, but I'm respecting my queen, man.
David Bore
I wanna take leftovers places when I'm a multimillionaire.
Langston Kerman
That seems cool.
J. Jordan
Have you done anything like that? Have you done anything?
David Bore
I had a tourist brought me a plate.
J. Jordan
No, but I mean, what's the blackest thing you've done in recent years? History that is blacker than where you are. You know what I mean? Or, like, you do something and you look around, you go, oh, that was pretty black of me. A la Dirk bringing a plate.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Damn. We regularly do, like, big. We'll have, like, backyard parties and shit. And I don't always realize how black the party is constructed until some white people show up. And then it becomes they are the only ones there. And everybody's, like, talking very loud, playing Taboo. Like, we. We ordered from Stevie's, which is, like, Creole food. Unbelievable shit. And, like, we. We've just, like. We've put out a whole fucking, you know, a cookout. Yeah. Of sorts. And then here comes my white friend. Yeah. And they don't. We don't have anything for them.
J. Jordan
Yeah, yeah, that.
Langston Kerman
That's. It's more that energy, but that's a.
David Bore
Better story for them. Them, anyways.
Langston Kerman
I think so.
David Bore
Yeah. They. They're happier that they got there. They're like, I truly feel like Langston called me. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I was. I go like, nah, it's my friend.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And then they show up. I'm like, fuck, I don't know how to. I guess you can meet my neighbor.
J. Jordan
I only ask that because the last thing that I did. Where I was like, oh, okay. There. Like, I was treating. I was interviewing people at Sundance for Vulture and I was treating the black. Black cast so different. I was. Their publicist would be like, we have to be like, do y' all want to go? They say y' all gotta go. They'd be like, no.
David Bore
But is that not every entertainment space where you try to like. I feel like every entertainment space, though, you. You gravitate towards the black people.
J. Jordan
I feel like I'm just proving my mama right when I say stuff like this.
David Bore
No, I think you. I don't. No disrespect to you. I think your mom was closer than you wanted to. And I get it. Cause it comes from your mom and you're like, yeah, you don't know nothing about show business.
J. Jordan
There's a.
David Bore
What I do. And you don't want her to have insight.
Langston Kerman
I owe that lady an apology, man. I think.
David Bore
I think she kind. I think she's kind of right.
J. Jordan
Okay, I'll send it back to Jacksonville.
Langston Kerman
She's a good mama. And she told you, right?
David Bore
It's cool, man. Send it back to Duval County.
Langston Kerman
All right. We need to take one more break. We're going to wrap this thing up. More J. Jordan.

Voicemail Caller
Yo, what up, DG and Langston? I go bus down RIP Jack. I watch that all the time. This beach out the mountain meal. And I wanted to comment. Bro talk on the subject. I just heard y' all talking about, about barbers. Because I've been thinking about this for like 9 days since I went to this new barber, okay? And I used with my old barber for like 20 years. But this new barber I got in this chair. And like y' all say sometimes you zone out, close your eyes. And I felt this like saving my ear hair. And so I've been thinking, like, nobody ever saved my ear. Like, I said my barber would cut my hair for 20 years. He ain't never did no like that.
David Bore
Wow.
Voicemail Caller
And I always noticed the ear hair, but.
Langston Kerman
Can we bother?
Voicemail Caller
Like, you got to be a little gay.
J. Jordan
Let him finish. Let him finish. Let him finish. Let him finish.
David Bore
You.
J. Jordan
You literally not a figurative pause. You said, can we pause that? You could just say pause. He digging. He digging in your ear hole.
David Bore
He said, I noticed the ear.
Langston Kerman
He said I knew the whole time.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He said I was never gonna address it, man. And now he's saying, shame on this.
J. Jordan
Man for addressing the ear intimacy among young black men. Cause did we hear the top of this? He said, you know, I was fucking with my old barber. It sound like he was gonna say old lady. Nah, I was talking to my old barber for 20. I went to this new barber. I sit in the chair, I close my eyes. He digging in my ear holes.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
He flicking my ear wrists.
Langston Kerman
He didn't like, he kissed my forehead. Yeah, I'm having a wrist.
J. Jordan
Yeah. I'm having an eargasm.
David Bore
Drip, drip, drop, drip, drip. And he dropped. Oh, wait, let's hear the rest. Though. I do want to hear, and I.
J. Jordan
Believe we paused at kind of gay.
David Bore
I think he was saying kind of gay, Joel.
J. Jordan
I think we can find the kind of gay.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Voicemail Caller
He ain't never did no shit like that. And I always noticed the earrings hair. But Barbara's gay. Like these, like you got to be a little gay to be especially a good one, like a hairdresser or something. Because, like, it makes sense. I, I've seen that movie, Good hair with the who smack Will Smith.
J. Jordan
He didn't smack Will Smith. That's a who smack Will Smith. That's what, that's what we gonna start saying. You know, this smack Will Smith.
Langston Kerman
This motherfucker's coming from a nigger ass dimension.
J. Jordan
He said. Cause I thought he was gonna say it felt gay to get the ear hair clip. He said, now I'm thinking about it. To be a barber, you gotta be a little gay to be a good one. Yeah. Like hairdresser.
David Bore
I like that the levels are barber and then hairdresser.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. You're saying there's an optimism here.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You're not hearing this as hate speech anymore.
J. Jordan
I'm hearing him go, I want a detail oriented man who really cares how good men look. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He is telling this as a positive. I, I, I think that she ends up experience.
David Bore
I think this ends up pro. The new Barbie.
J. Jordan
It sounds like what he's saying is only a man knows what a man needs.
David Bore
Wow.
J. Jordan
If we go bring Will Smith back into it.
Langston Kerman
Let's find out. I'm very excited if this is true.
Voicemail Caller
Here with the who smack Will Smith. And, and the competition that they had at the end was all gay dudes. Gay dudes. And then I used to get my hair cut by this named Deborah.
David Bore
Pause, pause.
Voicemail Caller
And like, pause.
David Bore
Shout out to Deborah.
J. Jordan
Shout out to Deborah.
David Bore
She's really going through. She's putting up with a lot.
J. Jordan
Shout out to Deborah.
David Bore
This guy is hilarious.
Langston Kerman
Me out the mill, baby. Okay.
J. Jordan
And he watched Buzz Down.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. No, this is my fan base for sure.
David Bore
I think this is a good.
Langston Kerman
I think so, too.
J. Jordan
Let's see where this is headed, because we've been. It's a journey to get there.
Langston Kerman
It's taking a minute.
David Bore
So good.
J. Jordan
We found out about three barbers now.
David Bore
Which is confusing to me, because 20 years, nine days, he was sneaking off. He was sneaking off with Deborah.
Langston Kerman
Okay, let's find out more about Deb.
Voicemail Caller
Talking about this named Deborah. Used to have me crispy.
J. Jordan
And like.
Voicemail Caller
Like, even if they don't. Like, they could be DL. Because why you want to be that close to another man and nuts on their hand? And why you want me to look good? Why you want another man to be looking good? Like, I mean, no, knock to the barbers and keep doing your thing. We need y'.
David Bore
All.
Voicemail Caller
But I think they gay, though. You gotta be gay a little bit, especially. Be good. Think about all the masculine, like, super hard barbers, like, the motherfucker's trash. They do the bow cuts phase. Don't be good. Your barber gay. You gonna be crispy.
Langston Kerman
You gonna be crispy.
Voicemail Caller
Fuck with y'. All.
J. Jordan
All right, man, listen. We got there.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah.
J. Jordan
He just said nothing bad about gay people. He just said, if you a barber and you are this invested in men's looks, I need you to be a little gay to care about your profession.
Langston Kerman
And I think this is a prime example of when culture, the language is not necessarily in a way where you go like, oh, this is an ally, but that's 100% ally logic. That's a person fully committed to supporting the gay community. They just don't necessarily have all the language that we consider to be lies.
J. Jordan
Cause you know where the Venn diagram is for gay men and barbers? A head is ahead.
Langston Kerman
A head is ahead.
J. Jordan
Ahead is a head. Yeah, yeah, he's there. He's.
David Bore
No, I think he's. I like this. I think he's a good guy.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
J. Jordan
You know, I don't know why Deborah.
David Bore
Had to catch his trick.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Be nice to Deborah. Even though y' all wearing the same south. Be nice. You know, be a little bit more respectful to Deborah. Or maybe not.
Langston Kerman
We don't know how Deborah's spoken.
David Bore
She could be a bitch.
J. Jordan
But Deborah had him crispy.
Langston Kerman
Deborah did have him crispy.
David Bore
That's all he's worried about. That's all.
J. Jordan
What?
David Bore
He's a masculine barber.
J. Jordan
Yeah. He don't want the hard nigga. Well. Cause think about it. Like, the real masculine barbers, like, their hands all big and Clumsy. They supposed to be on the. They're supposed to be on a kid boat somewhere.
David Bore
I hate a popular ass barber.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Yeah.
David Bore
I hate somebody replaying high school in the barber. I also don't. He's never the best guy.
J. Jordan
Yeah. I don't like climbing a lot.
David Bore
He's talking too much.
J. Jordan
He's talking about the big game in 06.
Langston Kerman
When they move my head rough.
David Bore
Ooh.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, don't be rough with me.
David Bore
Yeah. Yeah.
J. Jordan
Be nice.
David Bore
Be careful with me.
Langston Kerman
Be careful. Be careful with me. 100%.
J. Jordan
Hey, hey. A little. Hey. Hey. Who you think this is? You gonna be taking me in kind of play. Hey, hey.
Langston Kerman
I know we not friends, but we friends right now.
J. Jordan
Yeah. You being all rough. Yeah, Yeah. I got the cape on.
Langston Kerman
Come on, man.
J. Jordan
I'm Superman.
David Bore
I got the Marathon continuous cape on. That's the mosaic.
Langston Kerman
That don't got nothing to do with what happens in this barbershop.
David Bore
Nipsey. I have a theory that Nipsey Hussle is represented in every single barbershop from here to the Mississippi. That's one way or another.
J. Jordan
In a picture or a mural.
David Bore
In a picture, a mural, a cape that says marathon. There is some Nipsey memorial memorabilia of some sort in every single barbershop.
J. Jordan
Nipsey kind of touched every barbershop in a way.
David Bore
My barber in Denver had hella marathon shit. Jon Jar's from Denver.
J. Jordan
But that's not LA To Denver. That's not that crazy.
Langston Kerman
It's pretty crazy.
David Bore
It's pretty far, really.
Langston Kerman
It's pretty far.
J. Jordan
But culturally, in a lot of. I mean. Right.
Langston Kerman
I think Denver is more, like, rural than we think it is.
David Bore
We'll relax now.
J. Jordan
Yeah. This is what she was saying earlier about how it's just mostly huts.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
See what happens? This is when he gets a bone in his nose. You start here, and then it's gorilla mask.
Langston Kerman
Where white people rub sticks together. Yeah.
J. Jordan
Yeah. It's where white people talk like they're. They're Tulsa. They have a click language for white people.
David Bore
That's the funny, funniest thing, because I don't think it would be click. I don't think it would be click if you had, like, a tonal relation. If you had a tonal language for white people, it would be various size.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Like, that would. Instead of clicks, it would be size.
J. Jordan
Like.
David Bore
Like. Like white liberal.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
With getting an order wrong. You know what I mean? That would be.
Langston Kerman
I think that's 100%.
David Bore
I think it would be totally wow, that's.
Langston Kerman
That's really beautiful.
David Bore
That's their click link.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
And why people bring it up to you guys all the time, too. Do you speak psy?
Langston Kerman
Do you speak psy? White people, you gotta start speaking psy.
J. Jordan
Come on.
Langston Kerman
We know you speak psy. You can speak psy alone.
J. Jordan
They speak psy at home. They don't speak psy in.
David Bore
They don't speak psy. Cause they're embarrassed.
J. Jordan
I don't do this in front of.
David Bore
People, but I'd like to see a psy renaissance. We get some psy restaurants.
Langston Kerman
Stop losing your psy recipes.
David Bore
Come on. Take your girl to a psy club.
J. Jordan
I haven't asked y', all, and I feel like both of y'. All. What's going on with Yalls girls? Sydney Sweeney.
David Bore
That's not my. I don't know.
J. Jordan
That was Silter, the one who just.
David Bore
Had her titties up.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
That's what I know.
J. Jordan
Yeah. Yeah.
David Bore
That's all I know.
J. Jordan
In the kind of liquid she was wearing. Like Alex Mack.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
I think childhood celebrity is bad for everybody.
J. Jordan
Childhood.
David Bore
Was she a child? Is she a child?
J. Jordan
Oh, no.
Langston Kerman
I think she was young enough that that brain is mush.
J. Jordan
Cause euphoria.
Langston Kerman
Because. Because you were. You were not only a child, but you were a Babbage. Yeah. As a child. And everybody chose to ignore the fact that you're a child.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
David Bore
Or you were.
J. Jordan
At least you were. You were cast as a child, bro.
Langston Kerman
18 is a baby.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I don't. I'm too far past that to think that that's a grown person. That was a baby. And we went. I want to. That baby.
J. Jordan
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And now that baby is acting up, and I don't think we. We are going to be able to figure that out.
David Bore
She's the one with the white jeans.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's right.
J. Jordan
Blue.
David Bore
But the thing was, like, she got gray white jeans.
J. Jordan
Right. Blue.
David Bore
Like, look at these. Look at these. Look at these white jeans.
J. Jordan
Blue.
Langston Kerman
Wink. Yeah.
David Bore
She got great, great blue jeans.
Langston Kerman
And I don't even think that that was. I think she probably has a lot of malicious people in her corner that were happy for her to do that, but I don't think that's an evolved enough person to know what they were doing.
J. Jordan
Yeah. I mean, and now she's dating Scooter Braun, and I.
Langston Kerman
My gut part is that, you know what I mean, if that's not a person being preyed upon, I don't know.
J. Jordan
He's kind of famous for preying on people and taking Well, I hope she gets Sydney's Way.
David Bore
Sydney's version.
J. Jordan
Sydney's Way? Sidney's Way. That's a drug heist movie.
David Bore
Yeah, well, it's a sequel to Carlito's Way.
J. Jordan
A lot of people don't answer.
David Bore
Sydney's version. Is that what happened?
Langston Kerman
I think it's version. I don't. I don't.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God.
David Bore
That's honestly not my angle. I don't really know much over there.
J. Jordan
I was just. I was noticing that everyone was talking about her titties this week because she had them out, and I wanted to get y'. Alls. I knew it made it to y', all. I knew it made it to y'.
Langston Kerman
All, and I'm sure.
J. Jordan
Did it make it to you, Langston?
Langston Kerman
I'm sure some of my did it.
J. Jordan
Make it to you?
Langston Kerman
I'm sure some of my humanizers.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God. You could drive a truck through that part.
David Bore
That was crazy.
J. Jordan
Hey, hey, hey, hey. This ain't about me, brother.
Langston Kerman
I'm sure some of my humanizing of Sydney Sweeney perhaps comes from things I may have seen. Things that maybe I appreciated more than others can.
David Bore
Oh, man. I never seen you run like that. That was kind of what I am.
Langston Kerman
I am human just like everyone else. I scroll with one hand just like everyone else.
J. Jordan
Oh, my God. I saw as a bisexual. Journey Smollett did it for me this week. She brother, Journey's back, brother. I'm getting him in trouble.

This is an iHeart podcast.
Episode Date: Nov 18, 2025
Host(s): Langston Kerman, David Gborie
Guest: Jay Jurden
This episode dives into the hilarious and endearing Black conspiracy theory that “all famous Black people know each other.” Comedians Langston Kerman and David Gborie, joined by the witty Jay Jurden, unravel this myth—sharing personal stories, dissecting the roots of the stereotype, and spiraling into delightful tangents about Black culture, fame, and community. Along the way, they reflect on the dynamics of celebrity, community, barbershops, and the shifting nature of Black spaces in entertainment.
On “The Conspiracy”:
“She thinks being a Black celebrity is like going to the big church in town.”
— Jay Jurden, 54:35
On Finding Community at the Top:
“Once you reach a certain level of selection, there’s only, like, eight people you can even vibe with... it’s why Michelle Obama gives George Bush the mints at the funeral.”
— Langston, 58:45
On the Reality of Celebrity:
“There’s a level... people pretend to know each other... if somebody’s hot, they’ll always attest to it.”
— David, 58:15
On the Blackest Thing Done Recently:
“We put out a whole fucking... cookout of sorts. And then here comes my white friend. And we don’t have anything for them.”
— Langston, 79:55
On Black Male Grooming:
“They be filling in my eyebrows. I go, what? Are you okay?”
— Jay, 12:58
On Barbers and Intimacy:
“If you a barber and you are this invested in men’s looks, I need you to be a little gay to care about your profession.”
— Jay quoting Voicemail, 89:25
The episode is rambunctious, raucous, and filled with the familiar blend of insightful banter and irreverence the podcast is known for. The hosts and guest shift easily from hilarious personal anecdotes to sharp cultural critique—from joking about Black hats to unfiltered reflections on who belongs in Black celebrity circles—always centering love for community and Blackness, but never taking themselves too seriously.
You love smart, unvarnished, and playfully subversive takes on Black culture, identity, community, and the hilarious myths that persist within it.
