I don't disagree with that.
Langston Kerman
That's like kind of whack, right? We don't have any. I not once. I didn't see no Kamala Bear mace. I didn't see those knuckle knives.
Zack Fox
I mean the money is so there to be made. Especially with the Kamala. That girl Is an aka. You can have pink and green pepper spray everything.
David Borey
Let's go.
Zack Fox
Because the akas, let's be real. Y' all like that. They was gonna be the proud boys.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
For Kamala.
Langston Kerman
AKA Stand back, stand down.
Zack Fox
Exactly.
Unknown
If.
Zack Fox
The war cry was going be.
Langston Kerman
Ski we out here, man, we would have seen a bunch in press conferences.
Zack Fox
Ski we.
Langston Kerman
Man, that's AKA Ski.
Zack Fox
That's a se. Depending on what you look like now.
Unknown
Like, we would have seen a bunch of light skinned women hopping out of a U haul truck talking about, pull up Y. Yeah.
Zack Fox
We would have got nasty with pearl nunchucks.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
The government growing babies.
Unknown
Microchips in your anus.
Zack Fox
All koala bears are racist. The ozone layer owes me money. Marshy's invented turkey stuff.
Langston Kerman
Y' all can't tell me nothing.

Thank you. Here on the Magic school bus. There it is.
Langston Kerman
Seat belts.
Unknown
I hope this is a normal field trip with the frizz. No way.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, right?
Zack Fox
Absolutely not.
Unknown
You know Lil Richard did that song.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. There was the Magic School Bus.
Unknown
Magic School Bus.
Langston Kerman
We've talked about it. There was a time he was very available.
Unknown
Lil Richard was. You really could get him every sitcom.
Langston Kerman
And he would just be Little Richard. Like. Like, what's the episode of Martin where he was like. He started out as like the exterminator and then he just ends up playing the piano.
Unknown
That's right. He was always. He would always show up like a menial laborer, but going, shut up. Yeah. To whoever was like saying something and that was.
Zack Fox
Little big punchline.
Langston Kerman
And then somehow he'd be like, he stole my sound.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
His sister. Sister. Like at a basketball game.
Zack Fox
I feel like we never really talk about that. That like they stole it and he was right there.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
The whole time.
Langston Kerman
That's craziest part about that shit.
Unknown
That's crazy.
Zack Fox
The whole time.
Langston Kerman
That's so gross.
Zack Fox
They're stealing and he's like, hel.
Langston Kerman
He's screaming.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He's literally on the. He's literally on the piano going, I.
Zack Fox
Want baba loo, I want bamboo.
Langston Kerman
And they.
Unknown
Man, it's so crazy.
Langston Kerman
That would have drove me nuts too.
Unknown
Because what they're doing is being, like, paying him back, sort of. Like, he's kind of the only person who ever got reparations where they were just like, look, we stole so violently from you that we have to put you on full house.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
We just got to give you, like, is that reparations?
Langston Kerman
You got to be on there saying, you got it, dude.
Unknown
Bro, I don't know that they have the ability to think outside anything else. Yeah, I think they're just like, hey, man, you'll get to meet them little twins. Ain't that nice for you?
Zack Fox
And you can have all the white women you want.
Unknown
Oh, you don't want?
Langston Kerman
Oh, you don't want.
Unknown
We can't give you men.
Zack Fox
Yeah, yeah. That's weird.
Unknown
We don't like that.
Langston Kerman
Does he. Do we know if he liked. Do you think he liked Black Man?
Unknown
No, no, no.
Langston Kerman
Man. That hurt my feelings.
Unknown
For real.
Langston Kerman
You said that.
Zack Fox
I'm sorry.
Langston Kerman
It really. It really affected me.
Zack Fox
Think of all of them, bro.
Langston Kerman
No, I know, man.
Zack Fox
Of all of them. I don't have to name them. No, they be in that White Boy Butt, man. And that's.
Langston Kerman
Maybe that's Good Butt.
Unknown
That's where you find the inspiration.
Zack Fox
That's the founder.
Langston Kerman
You. Maybe it's. Maybe it's Good Butt.
Unknown
I don't know.
Zack Fox
I don't know.
Unknown
I can't speak to that.
Zack Fox
I don't know. But if I.
Langston Kerman
Of all the butts that seem like.
Zack Fox
The most off limits, the Spotify playlist that White Boy Butt has curated from black music.
Unknown
Oh, boy.
Langston Kerman
We sort of gotta give it up to White Butt.
Unknown
White Butt.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
We sort of gotta give White Butt its due.
Zack Fox
Yeah. That's like Vibranium for black male musicians that are gay.
Langston Kerman
That's the secret black creative Vibranium.
Unknown
Yeah. Damn.
Zack Fox
That's the Krabby Patty recipe right there, man.
Langston Kerman
Damn.
Zack Fox
That's what Plankton was looking for that whole day.
Unknown
Plankton trying to get that white Butt recipe. That white butt.
Zack Fox
Like, how can I get the chum bucket?
Langston Kerman
That's the chum pocket. It's the white butt.
Zack Fox
That's it.
Unknown
Fuck, man. This is a heavy episode, and we haven't even covered anything yet, man. This is really good.
Zack Fox
Y' all started it.
Unknown
Talking about Lil Richard, our guest today, a dear friend, a phenomenal, a phenomenal comedian, a phenomenal writer, a phenomenal rapper, a phenomenal all, man, of every trade that I can think of, dj, he's just. He's the shit, man. You know him from goddamn everything. Give it up for Zack Fox. Ladies and gentleme. And she said in my ear, go deeper. Stay with me now.
Zack Fox
And what hurt me is I was.
Unknown
Already all the way in. Stay with me now.
Zack Fox
Tacking that on there. So nasty.
Unknown
I will say, for a while, we were treating Shannon Sharpe like he was the star of that duo. I think Ocho really is the stronger.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
Person in the. Shannon Sharpe.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, definitely. Yeah, definitely. I think Ocho's the idea man. Always. Yeah, definitely.
Unknown
Shannon just has funny reactions.
Langston Kerman
His voice is very funny.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
Ocho.
Unknown
Oh, no.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And he has good catchphrases.
Unknown
Great catchphrase.
Langston Kerman
A 280 ain't a lady. That's a favorite.
Zack Fox
He named himself Ocho. He is the comedy engine.
Unknown
That's right.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And he named himself Ocho when it wasn't funny to do.
Unknown
No.
Zack Fox
Nobody thought that was cute.
Langston Kerman
No.
Zack Fox
My mom hated that.
Langston Kerman
It was crazy.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He was in Cincinnati.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
That's a tough one to take.
Unknown
Nobody was even gonna be like, yo, you're going crazy right now.
Langston Kerman
This isn't even. We don't even speak Spanish over here. He wasn't in LA or New York on spaghetti. That's what we do. You over here speaking Spanish to me.
Unknown
Ocho, Cinco.
Langston Kerman
The fuck are you talking about? Better go over the rind with that shit.
Unknown
Here's what I'll ask you. How long. When he did name himself Ochocinko, how long did you actually believe that he was going to carry that name?
Zack Fox
Because what year was that?
Langston Kerman
Oh, like, oh, 304. Ish. Yeah.
Unknown
I was still in high school for sure, so it had to be before O5.
Zack Fox
How long did I think he was going to keep it originally? I thought he was doing it as, like, a. Oh, he's just a quick year.
Unknown
Yeah. You know, I thought it'd be a.
Langston Kerman
Fun bit, a season situation.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
And then I think that, like, Crank, that Soulja Boy comes out and you're like, oh, we getting weird.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zack Fox
We getting freaky. As a people, I could stick with this.
Unknown
There's Laffy Taffy comes out.
Langston Kerman
The extension of Crank that. It's like. It really can't be. Like, we give him his flowers, but I don't think he's ever. It's ever gonna. We're gonna know what that did fully.
Unknown
No. He reached such a level of fame that we started to create lore about the Superman. You know what I mean? Like, people genuinely were arguing that this song had a bigger meaning of, like, coming on a lady's back and then slapping a sheet. And it was like, this weird sort like mind trick that he was playing on us.
Zack Fox
And here's the thing. All those were correct.
Unknown
Oh, you believe that?
Zack Fox
Yeah, 1,000%. Because all those Crank Dash songs, some of them had like sexual, like, origins.
Langston Kerman
Whoa, wait, did you do this conspiracy as well?
Zack Fox
Well, like, yeah. Like, it's like how, like you do like the. What's the old 2000s? Like Super Edgelore. Like the Red Dragon.
Langston Kerman
The Dirty Sanchez.
Zack Fox
Dirty Sanchez.
Unknown
Sure, sure, sure.
Zack Fox
Everybody was trying to do their. Exactly. Mind you, the Crank. That era was started by like middle school, high school kids in Atlanta.
Langston Kerman
Boys who hadn't had sex yet in Atlanta.
Zack Fox
Boys who have not had any vagina on their body yet, but are imagining what it would be like. And so you got cranked at Roosevelt, which was an act of bucking the knees out that turned into a dance when somebody not sucking.
Langston Kerman
I don't understand what you do it with your hands.
Zack Fox
The Roosevelt.
Langston Kerman
I don't understand what you're saying.
Zack Fox
Okay, so they. All right, I gotta get up.
Unknown
Oh, this is great.
Zack Fox
So the Roosevelt. The Roosevelt. The whole move is just this right here.
Unknown
Oh, I know this one.
Langston Kerman
Oh, okay. Yeah.
Zack Fox
Cause she not sucking. Correct.
Unknown
Whoa. So you. Oh, so it's just a little tap to be like, hey, bitch. Yeah, it's like a cricket.
Zack Fox
Like, get a. It's a hydraulic move. It's a.
Langston Kerman
She's sucking your dick.
Zack Fox
Yeah, it's a. You're oppressing me with that.
Langston Kerman
Now. That is a 13 year old boy.
Unknown
I'm an expert on this. Now. Why Roosevelt? Why is it called the Crank that Roosevelt?
Zack Fox
It was the high school, I believe that it came from.
Unknown
Okay. Ooh.
Langston Kerman
Cause they're sucking dick, like bad over there.
Zack Fox
They're doing it really terrible.
Unknown
But this is just a group who. Who was like, well, we're never gonna make it beyond our community, so we'll just name the song for everybody at our school. And then it becomes sensational, which is.
Zack Fox
The beauty of hip hop, which is.
Langston Kerman
The beauty of regional music.
Zack Fox
Yeah, bro. All of that stuff was just sex and violence that middle schoolers was doing to each other. Crank that, Spider man. Crank that Heisman.
Unknown
I do remember Heisman.
Langston Kerman
What was the Heisman, shawty?
Zack Fox
Fine breath stank. Do the Heisman.
Langston Kerman
Oh, okay.
Unknown
Yeah, it was.
Zack Fox
Get her up out of here.
Unknown
It was teaching us to commit, to be misogynist.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Amush is the line, right?
Zack Fox
Whooprico. Ok. Yeah. Whooprico. We don't even know where that boy is at, but he got jumped so bad.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
That they had to make an entire dance.
Unknown
Yeah, that one bummed me out.
Langston Kerman
Damn. That's like.
Unknown
Yeah, that one really bummed me out when I found. Because this is how crazy music used to be. You didn't always have access to that information when the dance showed up to your community. Like in Chicago, we didn't know that that had an origin story, but there was trauma. We were just like, nah, that's a funny way to name a dance. A song.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
You know what I mean? Like, yeah, great. All right. Whoop, Rico. And then you find out, no, that's one boy who really got literally a boy.
Zack Fox
And that's why, you know, I don't. Like I was saying earlier, black people being seated in power can go some nasty ways. Because, man, if Kamala the president right.
Unknown
Now.
Zack Fox
Nigga Ice would be a dance, you know, Damn. That's Drone Strikes is a dance. Because anything bad we do to each other, we make it into a dance.
Unknown
Yeah, I do like that better.
Zack Fox
They was doing a stabbing dance in New York.
Langston Kerman
I do like that better. At least there's some levity around these very heavy things.
Unknown
I. I think if nothing else, black people have always found the quickest path to levity.
Langston Kerman
Right.
Unknown
I think every community finds it for themselves and like, a hundred percent will eventually learn to laugh at what they do. But black people, we be at it quick.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it's real time. Yeah, it's real time.
Unknown
And I think that's what upsets white people the most in terms of, like, the way that we interact with each other, is that we find the levity so fast for ourselves. And they want to be able to have that levity for themselves, but can't find it as quickly. But they do see what they think.
Langston Kerman
About us, which is why the Office 2 cranked that Pam pilot episode.
Zack Fox
That's the first one.
Langston Kerman
Pilot episode.
Zack Fox
Out the gate.
Unknown
Pilot episode, I'm assuming. Crank that Pam. Something sexual is happening.
Zack Fox
No, she got beat up.
Langston Kerman
Yo, who got that ass.
Zack Fox
This jumpsuit? Episode one.
Langston Kerman
Cause she was kind of a bitch.
Unknown
I will say that in a rewatch, Pam is not the hero of the story. They wanted her to be.
Langston Kerman
Pam's whack. Jim's whack.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Why are you so mean to Dwight? You got the same job, bro. You're not bad.
Unknown
You're just tall and you know he has an I.E.P. don't do that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
You know what I mean? Like, that's already a person that needed you to relax.
Langston Kerman
And Dwight is interesting.
Unknown
Uh huh.
Langston Kerman
Jim is not an interesting person. There's nothing Interesting about that.
Unknown
No, he's just connecting with us the whole time. You know what I mean?
Langston Kerman
He's like. But he didn't feel like my audience Proxy. That's the issue I have watching television.
Unknown
Who's your Proxy?
Langston Kerman
I think it's probably Dwight or Creed are the people that I feel like the most when I watch that show. But I always. It's been a constant issue with television for me is that I never. The person who's supposed to be the audience Proxy.
Zack Fox
You don't connect with that ever, ever, ever, ever. So you watch a spongebob. Like, man, where the fuck is Pearl at?
Langston Kerman
Spongebob is weirder. So it's okay.
Unknown
Okay.
Langston Kerman
But I mean, I think a lot of like, traditional. Like, I didn't. I wasn't watching Fresh Prince. Like, Will is me.
Unknown
But I will say I'm much more of a Patrick than I am a spongebob.
Zack Fox
Okay.
Langston Kerman
Okay.
Unknown
You know what I mean? Like, I would much rather connect with a Patrick episode than a spongebob episode.
Zack Fox
I was rocking with sand.
Unknown
Sandy.
Langston Kerman
Sandy's pretty cool.
Zack Fox
Everything she got going on is what the fuck is going on? Why the fuck are you down here?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, you.
Unknown
It doesn't.
Langston Kerman
You're not built for it. Clearly.
Zack Fox
Yeah. You're hyper intelligent, like something.
Unknown
You do karate.
Langston Kerman
And you're in the service. Right. Or some kind of astronaut. Some service.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
So something crazy happened. Like Sandy's existence in SpongeBob is evidence of like the show being post apocalyptic.
Langston Kerman
Oh, interesting.
Unknown
Right.
Langston Kerman
Like she's a refugee from the surface.
Zack Fox
Yeah. That she was probably genetically engineered, you know, to be like, able to do space travel. And she might be.
Langston Kerman
She was supposed to be our way out.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
She might be an early experiment that just never made it back to the surface. And now is like.
Zack Fox
I think something happened on the surface that eradicated humans, but left Sandy and other genetic experiments untouched.
Unknown
Interesting.
Zack Fox
But they had already bioengineered her to live under water or build shit or.
Langston Kerman
Just be like, you know, or have even just interact.
Unknown
A self awareness that then makes her. Allows her the choice to go do something that she wants to look in.
Zack Fox
The mirror and be like, I got titties. I need a bikini.
Unknown
Yeah. And I want to hang out with a sponge. And.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
The rest.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
Fuck.
Langston Kerman
That being said. Yeah. And I don't think it's a comedian thing. I think it's just truly, they weren't really making it for anything.
Unknown
Didn't cut it for you.
Zack Fox
Damn.
Unknown
It feels insane to introduce this now, but you came to us with A conspiracy that I've never heard before.
Zack Fox
Okay.
Unknown
Frankly, I don't think anybody's mother has ever said this to them. Once.
Langston Kerman
Dang. As soon as I read it, though, I was very excited.
Zack Fox
Okay.
Unknown
Yeah. Do not take my response as me not being a fan of it. I just wanna lay the groundwork for everybody at home.
Zack Fox
Nobody's mom has said this.
Unknown
This is new to mamas.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
Certainly.
Zack Fox
We're hoping they'll pick it up.
Langston Kerman
My mom would be open to it, though. I will say that. Like, if I call her after, I think she would definitely.
Unknown
You think she would hear this out?
Zack Fox
Yeah, I like that.
Langston Kerman
My mom, she's. She's. She's pretty okay with conspiracy theories.
Unknown
Okay. Well, David's mama, in the future, is going to tell us there are no autonomous vehicles. They are actually operated by the enslaved African children.
Zack Fox
Yup.
Langston Kerman
Ender's game, South Africa. That's the first thing that I thought.
Zack Fox
Boom.
Unknown
Holy shit.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Zack Fox
Boom.
Langston Kerman
Enders game, South Africa. Or like, DRC or some shit.
Zack Fox
Yeah, yeah, of course. Yep.
Langston Kerman
They think they're playing a video game. They're really delivering.
Zack Fox
Yep.
Langston Kerman
Popeyes.
Zack Fox
Exactly.
Unknown
Holy.
Zack Fox
Exactly. My theory. 100%.
Langston Kerman
It's not even difficult. That's, like, right there.
Zack Fox
Yeah. It's two plus holy. It's two plus two equals. It's Terrence math.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
It's theoryology.
Langston Kerman
We got 98 patents.
Zack Fox
Come on. Go ahead.
Unknown
Go ahead. Add a number up there.
Langston Kerman
We should have a ticket tally every time.
Zack Fox
And you know how I 100% know?
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
That them is Africans driving them way. Mos driving them.
Langston Kerman
Watch out. It feels like you're gonna get nasty.
Zack Fox
I'm not about to get nasty. This is actually a crazy compliment. You ever looked at a. You ever just watched a video of African traffic?
Unknown
It's crazy.
Zack Fox
It's crazy. But what is not happening?
Unknown
Crashes, crashes. They're really avoiding each other.
Zack Fox
The only person you could get globally to drive a car autonomously through LA traffic and not touch nothing ever, is an African.
Unknown
Whoa. You're saying we got an extra muscle in our eye?
Zack Fox
Absolutely.
Unknown
It wasn't in our leg this whole time. It's been in our eye.
Zack Fox
It's been in the eye.
Unknown
And we have the ability to drive better than any human being on Earth.
Langston Kerman
It's like a seventh sense.
Unknown
Holy shit.
Zack Fox
Especially folks in Central Africa. You know what I'm saying? Sudan, even. Like, I watch videos of traffic in Addis Ababa and Ethiopia.
Langston Kerman
That's what you watch?
Zack Fox
Yeah, all the time.
Langston Kerman
I like that. I'll be watching weird shit too.
Zack Fox
That's.
Unknown
I will say that this is nice for me because you are amongst two of the most fucked up algorithms that.
Langston Kerman
I. Yeah, I'm really happy to hear that. I'm really happy to hear that.
Unknown
Yours, I would say, is. Is one of the most violent I've ever experienced.
Zack Fox
I'm getting dead people. It's bad.
Unknown
Yours is insane.
Langston Kerman
Lines are getting crossed.
Unknown
Yours. Yours jarred me in a way that I've. I repeat often to people.
Langston Kerman
Oh, because of the guys? The handicapped guys fighting each other?
Unknown
No, that wasn't the one that bummed me out the most. There, there. And I. I've told you this before. I once went to his house and pulled up. He pulled up YouTube and then we watched a video of a white man hand feeding Africans Sour Patch Kids.
Langston Kerman
That is dark, that shit.
Unknown
Like, for the first, like, going over there, going to a community that has not experienced candy like a neolithic, like, stone tool, and then walking up to them and offering them Sour Patch Kids and taping their reactions, and they're just like, crack addicted. It felt like that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. It's like, whoa.
Unknown
It felt so much worse than crack.
Langston Kerman
My relationship with computers, I found that they're only there to excite me sexually or enrage me physically, for sure. And that's sort of what my algorithm feeds me.
Zack Fox
And you know what's crazy about your algorithm feeding you that stuff and me this crazy stuff and Langston, whatever stuff he's getting is that my theory isn't even a jump from what the reality is.
Unknown
Yeah, right.
Zack Fox
It's not even actually a jump. Like, all you would have to do in these warehouses is add the ender's game element that you're talking about of. Just make them think that they're.
Langston Kerman
Gamify it.
Zack Fox
Gamify it, but also make it very punishable, the mistakes. And boom, you have, like, instant control. But this already exists. Yeah, so like, AI is already mostly powered by African child slave wage labor.
Unknown
Right?
Zack Fox
Because the AI is like, if we just took out David's brain and just gave him the Internet as a brain, the things he'd start to say upon request of answers from us would almost instantly be pornographic. Racist.
Langston Kerman
Right, because those are the data points.
Zack Fox
Because that's what's on the Internet. So you have to build an entirely new, like, Brita filter AI system to attach to David's brain. But that Brita filter has to be taught by human eyes the difference between an apple and a prolapse anus. The difference between, you know, the Wikipedia about Batman. That's Just the canon events or this sexual fan fiction where Robin fucks him in the butt.
Unknown
You're saying that ultimately there's just too much information. That just offering the machines information is not a solution. That it has to be curated in a way that makes that information strategic.
Langston Kerman
That's why they have to make programs. Right.
Zack Fox
And this is a huge issue. This is a huge issue amongst the AI giants. Like, they're constantly trying to figure out how to do this, because the text based models, you literally have to get an African, put crazy text in front of their face.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
And make them identify the negative parts. And if they take too long identifying that stuff, they can lose their job. That was giving them like a dollar a day.
Langston Kerman
It's crazy because without the lose they absolutely real. Without to lose their job thing. I'm doing that for free anyways, because David described me in an airport. Right, right.
Zack Fox
There's a lot of. There's some Americans who do it.
Langston Kerman
Oh, that's kind of cool.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Always rapping about eating raccoons or whatever I'm looking at.
Unknown
Which is probably why the reports, like, reporting things is encouraged in the first place. It's like another layer of curation.
Langston Kerman
Oh, yeah. That's all that shit is like. That's why it's like, show a picture of you in the eighth grade. Like, they just need to see.
Unknown
But even like, if I'm offended by a video me going in, like, telling the program, like, hey, this offensive.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
Is them just deciding, okay, this is what humans can handle and this is what they can't.
Zack Fox
Yeah. Yeah.
Unknown
Fuck.
Zack Fox
So it's like literally like content moderators in, like, third world countries are leaving work every day and having to go, like, eat spaghetti with their family after watching David's algorithm, but involuntarily in order to, like, identify it and make sure that it doesn't pop up on Langston's daughter's YouTube algorithm while she's watching, you know, cocomelon or, you know.
Langston Kerman
And that ruins the family dynamic. What'd you see today? Another big ass titty right before it breastfed or whatever.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. It's, it's, it's. It's unfortunate when you really gotta face down what you've looked at and then look your children in the eye.
Langston Kerman
Damn.
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That. That felt real.
Unknown
Yeah, no, there, there's sometimes.
Zack Fox
God damn.
Unknown
There's a couple times where I've, like, looked at some kind of video and I was like, ah, man, fuck, I.
Zack Fox
Gotta look him in the eye now.
Unknown
Yeah, I gotta, bro. Because it's not even like I'm, like, gaining pleasure from it. It's. It's like you get uncomfortable with how comfortable you are in receiving certain things.
Langston Kerman
Right.
Unknown
You know what I mean? Where you're just like, oh, this didn't bump me at all. And then you look at a person who you hope won't reflect any of that.
Zack Fox
Feel like that should have tickled me.
Langston Kerman
You don't want any of that to touch them. Yeah. But you're inundated.
Unknown
But I'm letting it touch me.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. You worry that there is some. Some sort of seepage.
Unknown
Yeah. It's gotta be, right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
You know what I mean? Like, there's. How many of these videos can I watch before my daughter talks? Like Orlando Brown Figured.
Zack Fox
That actually sounds kind of fun. I'm not gonna lie. I don't have kids, but if I do, please, please let the sperm. The Orlando Brown sperm cell win the race. Fuck. I don't give a fuck who say what.
Unknown
Blood on crib.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
She say some shit like that to me. I can't. There's a part of me that would be worried that I did that.
Langston Kerman
You.
Unknown
And that's what the. I'm. The transference of this sickness.
Langston Kerman
I worry about it. Not. I don't have a doctor, just interpersonally. I worry that whatever this smut that I'm looking at is gonna come out. I do worry about that.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And I think we're all worried about that. And that's like a big fear.
Zack Fox
Like, people knowing. Or like, just, like, come out in your behavior.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Just like. Or that it will affect me in a way, because I watch it and I pretend as if I'm detached. I don't, like, watch it. And I'm like, man, this is really what's going on in the world. But I worry that it'll affect my opinions or my conversations or. Mostly, what I really, truly worry about is that what it will reflect within my art. Like, I don't want to start putting out that type of art that lets you know that I am looking at African women with impossibly sized breasts.
Zack Fox
Right, right, right.
Langston Kerman
You know what I'm saying? That is what begins to be the word.
Zack Fox
I feel like that's a little bit of. And I don't think that images and media don't transfer things. Like, I'm not, like, naive to that. Like, propaganda and encoding images with things. Like, it is very real, I think. But I do think we have a bit of Christian guilt in us from our parents telling us that watching Harry Potter or watching something that depicted something demonic was gonna transfer spirits. My mom literally won't watch Sinners because it's like a documentary to her. She thinks it's like planet Earth. It's Sinners.
Unknown
She's like, no, I understand they're recreat, but this is based on a very real thing.
Zack Fox
I know the source material. I don't like it.
Unknown
I'm aware of Michael B. Jordan, but I'm also aware that he's making something really bad. Right.
Langston Kerman
I do think, though, that there is also a level of, like, there is that remnant of guilt, but there's also. The things we're watching are far more extreme.
Zack Fox
Sure.
Langston Kerman
Like, it's actually things that are. You just said dead bodies.
Zack Fox
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
Like, that's like an actual. You know what I mean? Harry Potter is for fun, and it's hufflepuffs and whatever, but, like, you know, we used to see people get killed on there.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Or just like that, AI, where like something comes out of a butthole and then it turns into a bowling ball. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown
Those things are fucked up.
Langston Kerman
Those things are fucked up.
Zack Fox
And those ones. I do. I do agree what you're saying. Cause, like, when you keep a straight face through one of those and you're like, all right, next.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, bro.
Zack Fox
I don't even stopped. And I don't even.
Unknown
Something in me.
Langston Kerman
It doesn't even stop my shit.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I'm just shitting.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's just what I'm doing when I'm shitting.
Unknown
There's. I'm like, not even triggered by stuff anymore. And in that way, that's terrifying.
Zack Fox
Yeah, that's bad.
Unknown
We're like, oh, I'm so desensitized. There's no way I'm not going to say some wild shit to the people around me because of this. And then that will carry over. And now all of a sudden, my daughter's. And I gotta be like, I did. I. I did that.
Zack Fox
I Orlando'd my daughter.
Unknown
I Orlando'd my daughter.
Langston Kerman
That's also the art thing of it all, though, because being an artist truly does come from a place of being sensitive. And like, in experiencing the world in the sensitive lens, and if you cut that down, then you are diminishing your light or whatever. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, I don't know, man. I think I would probably have been able to create a lot better shit if I hadn't seen so many teens fight each other or whatever.
Unknown
But then I would say like on the flip side, that is what makes so much of like the, this, this white boy renaissance shit in comedy at least so unbearable for me is that detachment from the morality.
Zack Fox
Right.
Langston Kerman
That's what that. But that's what I'm saying is like, I don't want to get anywhere near that.
Unknown
Yeah, that really, it really makes you feel like that's not even. We're not even doing an art anymore.
Zack Fox
I mean, it's a pretty like natural pipeline too from like, from like. I mean it goes way back, further than anything. Like, it's like way pre media of the idea of like human plus technology and civilization equals negativity. Total cross bones. Like that idea permeates everything around us, you know what I mean? Because it's like, it's a flawed and very incomplete way to look at the world. But like, I think about that old clip of Joe Rogan back in like 2009 or something, maybe, maybe a little bit later where he was just starting the podcast and he's like, dude, you ever look at a video of LA from a helicopter and it just looks like a virus. It just looks like a scab. It looks like a scourge. And like describing humanity as like a virus.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
And it's like once you believe that about humanity, then everything else after that is really easy to the progress.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah.
Zack Fox
You can pathologize.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Zack Fox
So that whole right wing movement is like super like. I don't even look at it as like racist. I just look at as anti human. They're like, yeah, we're bad. So definitely.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
I don't.
Langston Kerman
It's like individual. It's rugged individuals.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
I don't think they even can begin to see themselves as racist because they, they don't value any person enough and they don't.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And they don't feel a connection to what the whole of this is.
Unknown
No.
Langston Kerman
Like whether it be white people or men or whatever, they, they're like truly on an island.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
It's like whatever. It's all, it's fuck you, I'm gonna get mine.
Zack Fox
We're on a fucking rock going fucking a million miles an hour in space, dude.
Langston Kerman
So who cares if I say a slur, bro?
Zack Fox
Nothing's real, dude. Say the R word, dude. Kill yourself, dude. Nothing' real. Beat your wife, dude. Like what? Watch open butthole porn, dude. Eat cereal out of someone's. Dude, nothing's real.
Langston Kerman
You say open butthole porn.
Unknown
David.
Zack Fox
Like David's ears.
Langston Kerman
It's rare I come across a new.
Unknown
Genre One out of five that doctors don't disagree.
Langston Kerman
Nah, I like regular stuff.
Zack Fox
Regular butthole porn.
Langston Kerman
It looks like found footage.
Unknown
All right, we're gonna take a break. When we come back, we'll talk more about the conspiracy. More Zack Fox. More. My mama told me.

Zack Fox
A shows up with a Kindle. You're like, whoa, whoa, no switches. It's a Gen 5 Glock with a switch on it. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What the.
Unknown
That laser. Zach, we're still talking about the possibility that the. The autonomous robots we see on the streets are, in fact, being manned by African children who are enslaved.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
My question. Why, or rather how are they incentivizing the kids? Not fucking up at the cost of their. Their lives, of white lives, I guess, is my point.
Zack Fox
Okay, okay. Two things. Two things.
Unknown
Yep.
Zack Fox
Two things. Getting beat up.
Unknown
Okay, okay.
Zack Fox
Getting beat up.
Langston Kerman
They're already doing that in school over there, right?
Zack Fox
Getting beat up. Having your family beat up.
Unknown
Yep.
Langston Kerman
2.
Zack Fox
I know you wonder. Well, one of these kids would just come out and say that they do this. Who's gonna believe you?
Unknown
Mm.
Zack Fox
My brother, who in Sudan.
Unknown
Yep.
Zack Fox
Is going to believe that you pilot vehicles in Los Angeles that are holding hamburgers.
Unknown
Right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah. It sounds.
Zack Fox
You just said four things I don't know about.
Langston Kerman
And now it sounds made up to me, and I'm in Los Angeles.
Zack Fox
Right. And now you a witch.
Unknown
Right.
Langston Kerman
So then your family's gonna get beat up.
Zack Fox
Exactly. So I think. Right. I think the social consequences of it are, like, different over there. Because even if you did lay it out, truly what it is, that's witchcraft.
Unknown
It's the devil's work. For sure.
Zack Fox
Witchcraft. Either way, robots with hamburgers in them.
Langston Kerman
Is evil, because in my heart, I feel that way.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Like, it does make me feel. I have an aversion to technology, like, naturally, in a way that makes me. I react to technology the way Africans react to witches. I do. Like. I'm very, like, anti.
Unknown
I'm at that stage.
Langston Kerman
Me, too. No, none of this is good. None of this is good.
Zack Fox
The technology is evil. But I know both of y' all. Y' all sweethearts, so I know both of y' all have experienced seeing one of them chicken nugget robots pass by you, and you feel that little thing in your heart. From Wally.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
Where you empathize with it a little bit.
Unknown
100%.
Zack Fox
You get out of the way, and, man, you don't want to kick it.
Langston Kerman
Zack Fox, you've cut me to my core. You cut me open, I stand here bleeding. That's my worry, is that I will love the robots too much.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And that's why I'm so against.
Unknown
We have a autonomous robot on the show named Samo. On everybody's lives.
Langston Kerman
He's got a name already.
Unknown
He has a name. And I will say that when this was originally pitched, this was not my pitch. This was. This pitch belongs to a dude named Alex Gordelis, who's very funny guy, but he pitched that that John should have, like, a pet robot that just hangs out at the show and delivers fucking cans and shit.
Zack Fox
Okay.
Unknown
And I was like, we're connecting the dots here. I was like, that shit makes me uncomfortable.
Zack Fox
We're connecting the dots.
Unknown
I don't like this as a bit.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Unknown
And. And I. I'm not into that. And then now, Damn near we're 16 episodes into this show. I really like that fucking robot.
Langston Kerman
He's your friend.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He's in your family.
Zack Fox
Are you writing jokes for the robot? Yeah.
Unknown
I'll like that.
Zack Fox
So you would conclude that this robot is autonomously piloted by an African.
Unknown
Well, see, here's the thing.
Langston Kerman
Fuck.
Unknown
Fuck. Here's the thing. He is not, in fact, piloted by an African. Okay, but he isn't. He is piloted by two people who we employ to be on. On staff when he's there.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
You understand? Which means that, like, somebody's roboting him at all times, leading me to start to go, well, somebody's probably roboting all of them at some time.
Zack Fox
Sure.
Unknown
And who are the people that are doing that? Yeah, that's the big question. And this is where. I'm sorry, but this is where it gets even scarier, is that last year, before we got Samo, we went out to other companies that were potential, like, robot options. And the other company that we talked to had to pilot their robot via a person in Colombia.
Langston Kerman
Come on.
Unknown
Just to demonstrate this shit to us, we had to call a Colombian man and be like, hey, we're ready. And then they had to, like, hit switches all the way in fucking Colombia to robot a little fella in Los Angeles.
Langston Kerman
When is calling a Colombian man on the phone for a favor ever a good sign?
Unknown
It don't sound good, bro.
Zack Fox
Listen, man.
Langston Kerman
That's it.
Zack Fox
Listen, man. This is what I'm gonna say if all three people in this room for the next 500 years.
Unknown
No, wait a minute. It's triggering some shit in me, but I'm listening. I'm listening.
Zack Fox
For 500 years. I don't care. Who it is. Fill in the blank. Little people, right? For the next 500 years, we made free, uninterrupted trillions off of little people.
Unknown
Whoa.
Zack Fox
Uninterrupted golden age of our friendship.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
We're building castles, we're making states, we're building bridges, we're building. Doing all the things but the actual engine, the actual farm tool, the resource is little people. Little people for 500 years.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
Like, we build a whole new economic system off of it.
Unknown
We're thriving.
Zack Fox
Thriving.
Langston Kerman
World's life's easier for everyone else than it ever has been.
Zack Fox
Oh, my God. David's got. David's on the moon. Langston's under the ocean like sandy cheeks. You know what I'm saying? I'm riding a Komodo dragon down Moreland Avenue in Atlanta. Whatever your heart desires.
Langston Kerman
Beautiful future.
Zack Fox
And then one day, the little people uprise and say, enough. We go to war with each other over there.
Unknown
I was about to say, what's even more fucked up is somebody who I helped ride a Komodo dragon decides they don't agree with the little.
Zack Fox
And then we gotta stop Langston.
Unknown
And we got. Then we start beefing. Even though I helped get you that Komodo dragon in the first place.
Zack Fox
So me, you, David, get in a fight, maul each other to death, right? Almost all of us die over it. And now little people are a part of the podcast. They're part of. My mama told me they get to be at the table now.
Langston Kerman
They got their own little drops.
Zack Fox
They're just dropping it and dropping it and spamming the drops.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, brother, I'm trying to.
Unknown
But he was like a little one.
Zack Fox
Our children, your two children, our theoretical children and our children's children and our children's children's children. We would look at them every single day, generations of generations, and say, no matter what you do in this life, I don't care what it is, figure out how to get us back to uninterrupted trillions off of these little people. And I don't care who you gotta add into the equation. Big people, wide people, littler people. Get it going.
Unknown
No, the way you're talking, there's no way. I wouldn't say the N word. You know what I mean? I would call them that to their faces, and I would be like, I don't give a fuck, right? Because I know what you used to be.
Zack Fox
So this whole talk of all the AI is gonna. The robots are gonna rise up and da, da, da. It's all. I always fill it in with black people.
Langston Kerman
Yes.
Zack Fox
Every single time. I'm like, you're projecting your fear of us doing that to you because you know what you did. So you're projecting it on the robots, but at the same time, you're not even doing anything different from regular slavery. You're just leaving the Africans where they're at. We don't gotta enslave em over here.
Unknown
We already got.
Zack Fox
We already did that. Keep em over there and then let them be the. Give them facades.
Unknown
You're saying this is. This makes it full present tense. We don't have to trick the black people around us into slavery again. We just need to go somewhere where we ain't get to really get our big scoop of ice cream yet.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. They need to go to the source.
Unknown
Damn.
Zack Fox
Get the big scoop.
Langston Kerman
They outsourced it. The beer. Right.
Zack Fox
Keep them in Africa.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Like, it's like, okay, we needed rice farmers or whatever over here, but now that you just got a whole continent of people to drive robots.
Unknown
Damn.
Zack Fox
Make them slave avatars. Right? Because you can keep a smiley face on a robot in perpetuity, even if there's a child in Sudan dying because.
Langston Kerman
It didn't hit that left turn.
Unknown
You know where this gets nasty for me, James Cameron is the type of rich where he would know that this is happening. And especially if he's creating new AI technology for, like, replacing faces and shit, he's tapped into that shit. And that then makes me feel like Avatar is just like an artist being, like, silly about some dark shit. He knows this happened down the pipeline. He's like, no, I'm watching it happen. So. Yeah, the Na' Vi. Yeah. Big old. Yeah. They got long tails.
Langston Kerman
They're such a musical people.
Unknown
Yeah. They fuck with their hair. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Whoa. Remember when he came out, first thing he did was play basketball. No, that's not.
Unknown
Bro, that's crazy.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
Fuck. Yo.
Zack Fox
Dang. Dang, that shit hurts.
Unknown
Fuck.
Langston Kerman
That shit hurts my feelings.
Zack Fox
Whoa, man.
Unknown
God damn it.
Zack Fox
Listen, bruh, I'm telling you.
Langston Kerman
So we gotta get more guns. I don't know what to do. Tell me what to do today, man.
Zack Fox
I'm.
Langston Kerman
I'll get some more guns.
Zack Fox
500 years, bruh. 500 years.
Langston Kerman
Give me one of those AKA grenades.
Zack Fox
500 years. You had the red. You had the staples. Easy button.
Langston Kerman
You know what I'm saying?
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
This is it now.
Unknown
Yeah.
Zack Fox
Get back to uninterrupted free wealth, free money.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. They need the. Because they hit the greatest lick of all time.
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's the high they're searching, right?
Zack Fox
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
They hit the greatest lick of all time. Like, they just got Iowa. They just came here and got that shit.
Unknown
Like, even the other.
Langston Kerman
Nothing else has ever compared to that.
Unknown
Even the other times in history where people have been slavers and held over other people, they've never gotten paid the way that these motherfuckers.
Zack Fox
That was ball in the peach basket.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Zack Fox
Early Arab slave trade. Yes. There was a lot of Africans in that. African. Enslaving Europeans. Enslaving other Europeans. Yeah. That was ball in the peach basket.
Unknown
Yep.
Zack Fox
What white folks did was the Harlem Globetrotter.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
They were slaves.
Langston Kerman
But you slept in a tent, right?
Zack Fox
You know what I mean?
Unknown
Like, you were still sleeping on the. On the ground.
Zack Fox
You got to do, like, you got to graduate from being a slave in, like, Arab slave trade and shit like that. Like, they'd be like, do you fuck with, like, ironworks?
Langston Kerman
Yeah. You're like a trade worker now.
Zack Fox
Yeah. I feel I see something in you.
Unknown
Hey, you like, yu. Yu Hakusho, come hang out with us, man.
Zack Fox
You can draw. You fuck with hieroglyphics. Get your ass in here. The pharaoh about to die, man. Come draw that shit.
Unknown
Come on, man.
Zack Fox
Yo, but white folks hard. They always try to do that. Like, oh, it was all slavery. No, no, no, no.
Unknown
Not the way y' all did.
Zack Fox
Y' all did and one.
Langston Kerman
They did.
Unknown
They did.
Langston Kerman
Y' all did and one slavery forward in the game.
Zack Fox
Y' all was bouncing niggas off each other.
Unknown
You was all the professor. Yeah.
Zack Fox
And you were bouncing the ball up our head. That's why the N1 logo ain't got no face on it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Cause he wasn't white. Man, that's cray.
Zack Fox
Man, they try to hide her.
Unknown
It is like a strong jawed white man. And they keep trying to pretend like niggas supposed to connect to it, but it's not.
Zack Fox
It's a chad. It's a gigachad.
Langston Kerman
That's crazy, because he's saying shit like, oh, I'm the bus driver.
Unknown
This is the last stop.
Langston Kerman
Is your game as ugly as your girl? My more pizza rules.
Zack Fox
Dude, you know that N1 man wasn't black, bro.
Langston Kerman
He was not.
Zack Fox
Where was your fitted at?
Langston Kerman
He was not. That's nuts.
Zack Fox
No lineup.
Unknown
That's really nuts. You know, that is really crazy. And you know. You know how I know he wasn't black? No facial hair.
Zack Fox
Boom.
Langston Kerman
The ball, man.
Unknown
No facial hair.
Langston Kerman
You play basketball every day.
Unknown
You ain't grow a little goatee?
Langston Kerman
Nothing. Nothing.
Unknown
Just a weird Mustache, black man gonna keep that. Keep something on it. Something to let you know, bro, my.
Langston Kerman
Chin ain't seen the sun since before the towers fell. Yeah, my shit been covered up.
Zack Fox
The first plane hit. You just became a man.
Langston Kerman
I'm ready to vote.
Zack Fox
It was loud like Wolverine claws.
Unknown
I heard. Hurts every time, but I have to do it.
Langston Kerman
Also, if you cut that shit off, it comes right back.
Unknown
Oh, man.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
Damn. Well, this is a great episode.
Zack Fox
I think we figured it out.
Unknown
I don't think anybody's in disagreement about this.
Zack Fox
Listen, I dare someone to present a rebuttal to this theory. Cause I'm sticking by it like it's fact.
Unknown
If you work at it, it's tough.
Langston Kerman
Because when I saw it, I was like, this is hilarious. It would be so fun to talk to Zach about this, and we'll have such a good time. And then now I'm walking away like, I need some.
Unknown
You need some thinking time. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I need some stuff to prepare my. I need more weapons is what I feel like.
Unknown
Oh, I. Yeah. I don't know.
Zack Fox
What's a darker future? Yeah, I'm gonna do this.
