My Momma Told Me – "Cobra Clog" (Dec 30, 2025)
Hosts: Langston Kerman & David Gborie
Network: Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts
Episode Overview
In this lively episode, comedians Langston Kerman and David Gborie explore the origins and anxieties surrounding the (not totally irrational) Black folk fear that a snake might rise from the toilet and bite you where the sun don't shine — your "Kit Kat Bar." The pair read a fan's email about this ubiquitous dread and riff on whether there’s any real basis for it, weaving in their own comedic trauma, vulnerable moments, and Black community in-jokes along the way. They also discuss dressing for coolness, receive some flirtatious fan mail, digress about aging, and debate what truly makes a person vulnerable.
