• The hosts debate whether they could come up with their own lingo, but Bruce Bruce quickly (and bluntly) shoots it down:

8. Jack Black as White E-40 (24:34–25:24)

• The hosts declare Jack Black to be “white E-40,” appreciating both men’s originality and willingness to joyfully create.

9. The Roots of Splitting the Pole (25:55–27:27)

• Langston shares the researched historical roots of the superstition:

[Bruce Bruce]

Thank you, man.

[Langston Kearney]

We're big fans.

[David Bore]

Yeah, we're aware, my man.

[Langston Kearney]

But you know the way people understand E40. I understand.

[David Bore]

You know what I mean?

[Bruce Bruce]

E40 say, that's for sugar Dale, baby. You know what I'm saying? I love E40, man.

[David Bore]

Yeah, he's man, anybody who makes up their own words and it doesn't sound. Cause I sometimes. You ever try to, like, push some slang yourself?

[Langston Kearney]

I've never tried it. No.

[David Bore]

You gotta be really brave and it never do it.

[Bruce Bruce]

But what I respect about E40, man, I like him. I like his style. I like how he respects his wife and his family. He's a family man and he has fun whatever he does.

[Langston Kearney]

And I think that's why we let the new words happen. Cause that's just a dude being fun, making me have fun.

[David Bore]

He's so fun.

[Langston Kearney]

Introduce a new one.

[Bruce Bruce]

And he's cool, man.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

I heard the greatest story about E40. I tell my wife it all the time. Somebody was at a conference with him, and E40 walks up to the bar and he's like, oh, Nori tells this story. E40 walks up to the bar and he tells the bartender, I'll take two brand or I'll take two Moeshas. And then Nori says, what's Moeshas? He says, straight Brandy pimp. I said, that's maybe for president, that man. Maybe for president.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's true. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that.

[Langston Kearney]

That's smooth. Because he knows his setup.

[David Bore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

He knows that you're gonna have to ask a follow up question. And the second you do that, Brandy's sitting right there.

[Bruce Bruce]

He's gonna get to you.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, he's gonna give it to you.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes, sir.

[David Bore]

We gotta start some slang.

[Langston Kearney]

We gotta start some slang.

[Bruce Bruce]

22. You guys stick to podcast? No, no, I'm telling you.

[David Bore]

You don't think we got it?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, I know you don't. I know you don't. So just stick with it. You got a great pod. Let E40 do this, let E40 do that.

[David Bore]

You know, that's probably.

[Bruce Bruce]

I'm just keeping it real with you.

[David Bore]

I also don't rap.

[Bruce Bruce]

I don't want you guys to be walking around, you know, twirling your thumbs, pissed at yourself. We should have stayed on the park.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We concentrated too much of our finances.

[David Bore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I've been trying to think up a drink since I told that Moesha story.

[Bruce Bruce]

See what's crazy?

[David Bore]

I got it.

[Bruce Bruce]

And see what's crazy about that? He's trying to think of it not there. It's got to be naturally. You got to be natural.

[Langston Kearney]

E40 woke up with him.

[David Bore]

He saw Moesha, and then he was ready to do that.

[Langston Kearney]

He just was on that.

[David Bore]

I was watching Girlfriends at the gym today.

[Bruce Bruce]

I got nothing whatsoever.

[David Bore]

I got nothing. I watched an episode and a half on the fucking bike.

[Langston Kearney]

Damn.

[David Bore]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, he's riding the bike.

[Langston Kearney]

He's going crazy.

[Bruce Bruce]

He's doing it.

[Langston Kearney]

Come on.

[David Bore]

I'm trying to figure out this new slang. Bruce, Bruce. I gotta put my brain.

[Bruce Bruce]

Don't do it, man. Think of something for the podcast. Don't do it. Don't hurt yourself.

[Langston Kearney]

Speaking of the podcast, you came to us with a conspiracy theory that I would say, like is a tale that I knew. It's as long as I've known life. It is a conspiracy I've heard.

[David Bore]

I live by this one too.

[Langston Kearney]

Oh, you believe in this? My mama told me, don't split the pole.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, that's straight. Oh, my God. People. That's superstitious, you know, splitting the pole and all that. I don't believe in it. You believe in that?

[David Bore]

Yeah, I don't fuck with my cat.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, man. My uncle was superstitious. Don't put your hat on the bed. Don't put your hat on the bed. Don't let a woman touch your wallet. If a black cat.

[David Bore]

That one also is in my house. Big.

[Bruce Bruce]

Don't sweep my feet with a broom. If you do, you got to spit on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then if a cat going across the street going to the left, you got to turn around and go the other way.

[David Bore]

I don't know that one.

[Bruce Bruce]

A black cat. It's gotta be black cat because you

[Langston Kearney]

can't let him cross you.

[Bruce Bruce]

Black cat cross you.

[David Bore]

And then you gotta double back.

[Bruce Bruce]

Gotta double back. My uncle, he would do it. He would turn that Cadillac around. Hold it. Did you see that?

[David Bore]

Turn the car around.

[Bruce Bruce]

Did you see that cat cross the street going to the left?

[Langston Kearney]

Holy shit. That must have been so inconvenient for his family.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, my goodness.

[David Bore]

That's like a 10 point turn in a Cadillac too. That's like residential shoes.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was a short dude, about five' two.

[Langston Kearney]

So he was up here with it,

[David Bore]

but he thought he wasn't.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was more like with it. He didn't turn it. Like they. Oh, hold it, hold it. Let me turn it.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

I love a little bit superstitious people believe in it. I never did. You know, I never did believe. But splitting the pole was one of the things that you didn't do.

[Langston Kearney]

Are you in no way a superstitious person?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, no, no.

[Langston Kearney]

So you walk through the world, you ain't looking at none of the signs. Once you're like, no, this is all.

[Bruce Bruce]

I just watch people.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what I'm saying? I just watch the people. Cause it's superstitious. Nothing. It's people you got to watch.

[Langston Kearney]

That's fair.

[Bruce Bruce]

Whatever they're going to do.

[Langston Kearney]

Historically, superstitions don't bomb countries.

[David Bore]

That's true.

[Langston Kearney]

You know what I mean? Yeah. That's a person thing.

[David Bore]

Yeah. Walking under the ladder didn't have anything to do with Afghanistan.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You remember that? Walking on the ladder?

[David Bore]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[David Bore]

Umbrella in the house.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah. Umbrella in the house.

[David Bore]

Fly drones.

[Langston Kearney]

The walking under the ladder one I at least understood of, like, all right, shit be falling.

[David Bore]

You know what I mean?

[Langston Kearney]

Like, this makes sense that, like, in theory, walking under someone else doing physical labor is probably not the right instinct. I should go around. But, like, some of them don't even feel like they come from a grounded place. It's just like, if that mirror break, you never be able to sleep again. It's ruined.

[David Bore]

Oh, you break the mirror.

[Bruce Bruce]

Seven years bad luck.

[David Bore]

Yeah, but have you ever broke a mirror? It does. It doesn't feel good.

[Langston Kearney]

No, it doesn't feel good.

[David Bore]

It feels bad.

[Bruce Bruce]

I never broke one, so.

[David Bore]

Okay. See, you ever walk under a ladder?

[Bruce Bruce]

That's why you ain't got run up on a ladder. Come on, bro. Full speed. And that's not very fast, but look.

[Langston Kearney]

But you're getting faster, I heard.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, but no, the superstition, it just. I mean, I think that's stupid. That's how I think stupid.

[David Bore]

Here's how I view it, is like, I do think it's stupid, but I have a caution. I'm like, I think it's stupid, but I don't wanna fuck. It's like talking to the devil where you're like, I think I may be that, but I'm not doing it.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what I mean?

[Langston Kearney]

Ouija board. Yeah.

[David Bore]

Yes.

[Bruce Bruce]

Do you believe in right hand, left hand itching? You're getting money. If your right hand itching, you're getting a letter and your left hand, you're getting money. Did you know that?

[David Bore]

No.

[Bruce Bruce]

I gotta tell you something different. That's it.

[David Bore]

All right.

[Langston Kearney]

Whoa, wait.

[David Bore]

Leviticus.

[Bruce Bruce]

I just feel.

[David Bore]

But you don't believe in it.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, I just feel either hand itching. I'm scratching.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

I'll tell you the truth.

[Bruce Bruce]

I'm a scratching man.

[Langston Kearney]

There's not a lot more on that.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's right.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

I was also going to say, with splitting the pool, whatever you're doing, it feels like it fucks up the pace of it. That's another thing about splitting the pool. If we're walking together. We're, you know, we're going this side. It feels like it ruins the flow of a walk as well.

[Bruce Bruce]

And I can see that.

[David Bore]

You know what I'm saying?

[Bruce Bruce]

I can see that.

[David Bore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

But not just splitting the pole because you're going to have bad luck. No, you shouldn't even split the pole anyway. If you with a girl, that's.

[David Bore]

Come on. That's who I walk with the most.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's right.

[Langston Kearney]

You too.

[David Bore]

Yeah, we be walking the most.

[Langston Kearney]

You turned to me as if I was like longing for reassurance.

[David Bore]

Yes you did. No, no, no.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yes you did. She was waiting on you.

[Langston Kearney]

I wasn't. You got a wife, man. I'm not trying to be her, if that's what you were worried about.

[Bruce Bruce]

No, no, no, he didn't think like that.

[Langston Kearney]

No, I know.

[Bruce Bruce]

How long you been married, man?

[David Bore]

Man, like six months.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, new. He's still. We don't even have baby. Yeah, yeah, he's still doing all that.

[David Bore]

It's deeper my voice.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, baby. Oh yeah, you like that, don't ya? Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

He's not splitting the pole. Cause they're still holding hands.

[Bruce Bruce]

You better believe it. You know what I mean? Oh yeah.

[David Bore]

Well, y' all sound hurt. I don't like that.

[Langston Kearney]

I've evolved past hands, brother. I've been in this too long.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what I mean?

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Hands are not the important thing.

[Bruce Bruce]

So you a married man?

[Langston Kearney]

I'm married. Yeah.

[David Bore]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

I am too.

[Langston Kearney]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

I can't get rid of her. She won't leave.

[David Bore]

No.

[Langston Kearney]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

No. I'm too good to her.

[Langston Kearney]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

I'm too good to her.

[Langston Kearney]

Shame on you.

[Bruce Bruce]

I've been trying to get a leave.

[David Bore]

What are you doing to try to get her to leave?

[Bruce Bruce]

I said would you just leave? She go to the kitchen.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. You know, hard headed.

[Bruce Bruce]

Of course they are. Women want to run every.

[David Bore]

That is true.

[Bruce Bruce]

Do your wife run everything in the house? Oh, period. Yeah. Yep. I don't, I don't play.

[Langston Kearney]

I don't have.

[Bruce Bruce]

I don't play the radio.

[Langston Kearney]

Oh yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

I don't play.

[David Bore]

She lets me. I do pick the music in the car. That's cause I don't drive though. We talked about it.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, I know you wear the pants in your house, but she picks them out.

[David Bore]

Yeah, I'm not getting pants that she doesn't like. Well, I also am not going crazy with pants, so. We talk about that a lot.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, the thing is, man, I don't dress like my wife. You know, some people, couples dressed alike,

[Langston Kearney]

I can't none of that.

[Bruce Bruce]

And if you have a problem or you have a situation, talk to me. Don't tell me nothing. Talk to me. Say, hey. Or if you got a good idea, why don't you try this. Because if I feel that you're telling me what to do, you're gonna have a problem out of me.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what I mean? So just talk to me. Cause I'm gonna talk to you.

[David Bore]

Talk to me about these pants.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

And if your wife is listening right now. You heard it.

[Bruce Bruce]

She can listen.

[Langston Kearney]

You heard it.

[Bruce Bruce]

She can listen. She know I don't play, bro. I don't play.

[Langston Kearney]

Now, where does. You are religious, you are not superstitious. Where does conspiracy theory land in that space for you? Is that too close to superstition?

[David Bore]

Yeah, it is.

[Bruce Bruce]

I just believe in God and let him do it.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

So you're like, man, I'm not even calculating for what the world is doing.

[Bruce Bruce]

And I wouldn't say I'm more religious. I just. I believe in God, but I'm more spiritual than anything. I can look at a person and be like, oh, he's not right. You know, that's a spirit. You can pick it up. Or I can look at a person, say, oh, they. They're pretty cool, you know? So I can. When you're spiritual, you pick up on stuff. You can pick it up instantly as soon as you see them. You know that person's not right when you see them. And most women have it and they don't use it because they like this guy. They know this guy is not worth a quarter. And they still say, well, I'm a gonna get with him. He done shot everybody at the church. But she thinks she can change it. You cannot change that.

[Langston Kearney]

He hasn't shot one, and that's me. And I'm gonna be in love with him.

[Bruce Bruce]

My man.

[Langston Kearney]

He didn't shoot me, which means he cares about me. Yeah, no, that makes sense. I am so bought into conspiracy theory.

[David Bore]

We're deep.

[Langston Kearney]

They are so separate from me.

[Bruce Bruce]

I can see it, man, you guys are deep in it.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, we talk about some very silly shit over here, Bruce.

[Bruce Bruce]

It's all right. I mean, I think I read one that white people can't cook or something like that. That's not true.

[Langston Kearney]

You don't believe that one?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, that's not true.

[David Bore]

I mean, that one wasn't proven on him.

[Bruce Bruce]

I used to work with a white guy that couldn't really get down with it. His ex neighbor, his name was Jerry Fowler. He's Passed away now, but he's one of the best cooks I've ever seen in my life.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. Now, was he a great cook? Independent of black influence.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Like he grew up in a white community, learned white.

[Bruce Bruce]

He was straight, like one of the Oak Ridge boys, you know. You know, ew bar real, you know, one of them type boys. Half dipped up, use half spray.

[Langston Kearney]

Let's go.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know, cowboy boots, Jordan's jeans, Members only jacket. You know what I'm talking about. But can get down with the food.

[Langston Kearney]

I like that.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah, he was cool. And you know, he was edgy. You know, you didn't know if he was racist or not. You know, he was kind of edgy, but he was cool.

[Langston Kearney]

You knew. You just didn't want to. Oh, yeah.

[David Bore]

But if you did your work, if

[Bruce Bruce]

you did your work, he was cool.

[Matt Rogers]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

And it was with anybody. He didn't care if you black or white.

[Langston Kearney]

I think anytime you're like, you don't

[Bruce Bruce]

know, instead of him using the N word, he said, yahoo. Them yahoos out there, you know what I'm saying? I said, you trying not to use the N word.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. You knew you were going to come talk to me.

[Bruce Bruce]

Absolutely.

[Langston Kearney]

You respect me enough not to use that word.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, if he said it right, I'd put them hands on him.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, my God. Ooh. These hands are blindfolded.

[David Bore]

Come on, give him that Dr. Phil.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, I give Dr. Phil. I give to him. He's 6 5. I would jump up and slap B shilla of him.

[Langston Kearney]

Dr. Phil Keep tuning in.

[Bruce Bruce]

Listen to me, listen to me.

[Langston Kearney]

Don't stop being a listener. Just cuz Bruce, Bruce gonna slap you. That ain't got nothing to do with us.

[Bruce Bruce]

I don't have anything on him.

[David Bore]

I got nothing on King Kong.

[Langston Kearney]

Free. Free him.

[David Bore]

Yeah, he wants to go to the top of that tower with the white woman.

[Bruce Bruce]

Let him go.

[David Bore]

Let him go, man.

[Langston Kearney]

She, in the later tellings of the story, really got in his face yeah, you know what I mean? Like, I think in the original, he just like snatched a lady off the street and like climbed to the top of the tower.

[David Bore]

Okay.

[Langston Kearney]

But then like in the new vers, he like builds a pretty meaningful relationship with this woman. Oh, yeah. I was like, yeah, he should be able to take her to the top of a tower.

[David Bore]

I've always been on King Kong's side.

[Langston Kearney]

They always now make it seem like this woman kind of is dating King Kong. He didn't.

[David Bore]

Yeah, you're right. It didn't come out of nowhere.

[Langston Kearney]

There's like this weird sexual chemistry between her and King Kong.

[Bruce Bruce]

What's wrong with King Kong? I didn't say what's wrong with the lady? What's wrong with King.

[David Bore]

Come on.

[Langston Kearney]

If you want to fuck a lady. That little.

[Bruce Bruce]

That little.

[David Bore]

King Kong had a rough life, man. He didn't grow up around other Kongs. He was the only Kong over there.

[Langston Kearney]

King Kong got body dysmorphia.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

He got some weird self hating shit.

[David Bore]

Yeah, it's tough. Cause there's no Mrs. Kong. No, there was never. They never got him. Him and Godzilla, they never got women.

[Langston Kearney]

He just loves sniffing white ladies and that's.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's what he did.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, that's not. That's the nasty behavior. King Kong.

[David Bore]

Yeah, you can't be doing that.

[Bruce Bruce]

But I still like.

[Langston Kearney]

You still like him? You still want him free?

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Oh, yeah, of course.

[David Bore]

Always. I always related more to him than anyone else in that film.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, we were talking about splitting the pole. I wasn't gonna explore that further. It felt irresponsible. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not about to sit here and explore further why the monkey is who you connected with most in a fucking movie. That's not good for me. That's not good for him.

[Bruce Bruce]

Not good for me either.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, it's not good for any of us.

[Bruce Bruce]

But he's. You want to tell us?

[Langston Kearney]

Hey, I'm gonna move on.

[Bruce Bruce]

Okay, Move on.

[David Bore]

Who'd you relate to in King Kong?

[Langston Kearney]

I don't relate to any of them.

[Bruce Bruce]

Look at these idiots. I like Jack Black.

[David Bore]

That was your favorite guy.

[Bruce Bruce]

I like him, period.

[David Bore]

Oh, yeah. Everybody likes Jack Black.

[Bruce Bruce]

School of Rock was a good movie.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

An American treasure.

[Langston Kearney]

He's white, E40. Oh, yeah, that's.

[David Bore]

Jack Black is white E40.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. Yo, he can just go and be silly and make up words.

[Bruce Bruce]

Oh, yeah, man.

[Langston Kearney]

He makes music. But that's. His cultural imprint is more important than the. You know what I mean? Like, that's the bunny Cop movie. I'd like to see Jack Black&E40.

[David Bore]

Jack Black&E40 back to back reboot Lethal Weapon. Jack's getting too old for this. That's printing money.

[Langston Kearney]

I was trying to think about how E40 would say, I'm getting too old for this, and I can't think of it. No, it's tough because he was a gift. Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

E40 have something for you.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, that's what I. He has a gift. I don't have.

[David Bore]

Also, shout out to all his foods.

[Bruce Bruce]

The goon with the spoon.

[David Bore]

Mm. He's got a lot of food.

[Bruce Bruce]

The goon with the spoon.

[David Bore]

Yeah, he's got a whole food line. He's got sausages and all kinds of stuff.

[Langston Kearney]

You like it? Yeah, Hell yeah.

[David Bore]

I like it more than the alcohol, of which I've also tried all.

[Langston Kearney]

Okay.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

But he likes to cook too.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's fire.

[David Bore]

He sells sluricane now.

[Langston Kearney]

As in, like, a bottle.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Whoa.

[David Bore]

And then Steven's reserve, the winery. We're not. This is just a pro.E40 podcast.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, no, we're big fans.

[Bruce Bruce]

I keep up on it. You know, I like it.

[Langston Kearney]

We were talking about splitting the poll earlier.

[Bruce Bruce]

Okay.

[Langston Kearney]

One of the things that I've. I learned in research is that part of the reason where this superstition is sort of born is this premise out of essentially, like, slavery. Most things, as we now know, come from slavery in some form or fashion, but it was mostly about, like, luck in not wanting to untether your soul from another person. So, like, you. When you walk with somebody, we are so connected. We are sharing our souls with. With each other. And to split a pole means that our souls are being severed from that connection. And so you're not meant to split a pole because it's bad luck for your relationship and then your greater growth as a human.

[Bruce Bruce]

That definitely sound like in the slavery days right there.

[David Bore]

Yeah, it does.

[Langston Kearney]

Like, please don't leave me even for a second.

[David Bore]

That's also what happens on this podcast a lot. Somebody comes with something, and then we're like, oh, it's a silly thing, and it's a slave.

[Bruce Bruce]

Then he gets deep on you.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. It's unfortunate, apparently, the way that you. The way that you. You could fix the splitting the pole if you should. So unfortunately, split poles with somebody, the way you fix it is to, say, bread and butter, because bread and butter, when you apply butter to bread, they are permanently tethered together. You can't, like, unbutter bread. And so bread and Butter means that we are back as one instead.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's something new to me.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You just got deep dining.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

What about peanut butter and jelly

[Langston Kearney]

again? Slavery. I don't think they had that option.

[David Bore]

You know what I mean?

[Langston Kearney]

Like, what the fuck is jelly?

[David Bore]

Peanut butter came out after jelly.

[Langston Kearney]

I think peanut butter probably came first.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

Really?

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. African people were doing peanut butter.

[David Bore]

Oh, that's fair.

[Langston Kearney]

They always equate it to George Washington Carver, but that wasn't even his thing, peanut butter. He was way more focused on, like, using peanut oils to, like, create, like, real, like, medicines and stuff.

[David Bore]

Right.

[Langston Kearney]

And then they discounted, like, he was making machinery oils and. And medicines. He was doing crazy stuff with peanuts. And then they always, like, undermine it by being like, oh, he just made peanut butter.

[David Bore]

It's also a West African crop.

[Langston Kearney]

That's what I'm saying.

[David Bore]

Like, in Sierra Leone, they make, like, groundnut stew. And like, I guess the more I think about it, you. They have, like. I guess it is peanut butter. It's just, like, ground peanuts and sugar. And then it's like, in a block when you.

[Langston Kearney]

I think peanut butter is ancient.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

And I think, how old is jelly? Jelly's like 45.

[Bruce Bruce]

Jelly's older than that.

[Langston Kearney]

Jelly came out with Atari. You know what I mean? That came out the same day.

[Bruce Bruce]

No.

[David Bore]

I feel like jelly's a couple hundred years.

[Langston Kearney]

Nah, I'm joking. But, yeah, I think comparatively, peanut butter, to me, feels like this is like old, old country sort of stuff. Jelly feels like science, comparatively.

[Bruce Bruce]

Okay.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Nobody wants to weigh in. Nobody knows the ancientness of jelly. I don't know.

[David Bore]

I don't know when gelatin came out.

[Langston Kearney]

Gelatin, I bet, is probably more ancient than jelly.

[David Bore]

Yeah. I don't even know what we're talking

[Langston Kearney]

about anymore because we're just mushing up body parts to make gelatin. And you know what I mean? Like, I think they probably.

[Bruce Bruce]

I mean, jelly been around for years. You remember your grandmother, them used to make it.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know, they didn't call it jelly. They called it preserve. Preserve, okay. Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Do you remember when there was, like, a shift for calling things jelly versus preserves?

[Bruce Bruce]

No, but my grandmother used to always say preserves. She used to make lemon jelly.

[Langston Kearney]

Okay.

[Bruce Bruce]

Out of lemons. She was a bad girl.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. Just sit in mush and add sugar

[Bruce Bruce]

and stuff and boil the lemons. Boil them till they couldn't be written. Just. My granddaddy loved it. Damn. Yeah.

[Langston Kearney]

Damn. I can't even imagine asking my wife to make me some lemon jelly.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, you know, Biscuit and piece of country ham.

[Langston Kearney]

Oh, no, I would love it. I'm not rooting against it happening. I just can't imagine stepping to her and be like, baby, I'm craving a lemon jelly.

[Bruce Bruce]

Well, the thing is, you probably don't know how to make it.

[Langston Kearney]

That's true.

[Bruce Bruce]

You know what I mean?

[Langston Kearney]

And I did marry wrong. I agree.

[Bruce Bruce]

What you mean?

[David Bore]

What do you mean? Man, she could learn how to make jelly. Don't throw it out the window.

[Bruce Bruce]

Wrong. What do you mean?

[Langston Kearney]

I just mean that I married a person that doesn't know how to make lemon jelly. I was just joking, okay?

[Bruce Bruce]

Hope she's not listening.

[Langston Kearney]

No, no, she doesn't. She doesn't listen to me and she doesn't listen to me in general. And in that way, that's how we work.

[Bruce Bruce]

Okay?

[David Bore]

And that's why you can't get this jelly across.

[Langston Kearney]

That's why she can't even hear it. I'm screaming. You know what I mean? It's like a scene from Ghost. She don't know. I'm warning her. We should take a break. We should take one more break.

[Bruce Bruce]

Take a break.

[Langston Kearney]

We're going to take one more break and then when we come back. Bruce, Bruce. We're going to do a voicemail. We have a voicemail from a caller that we want you to review with us. We're very excited about this one. I think it'll be fun. Okay. More, Bruce. Bruce, more. My mama told me.

And I kind of laughed it off at first, until as I was walking back to the parking lot with my cookies, and I realized I had been stereotyped.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Yeah.

[Voicemail Caller]

Thin mint Girl Scout cookies are the Newport of Girl Scout cookies.

[Langston Kearney]

I knew it.

[Bruce Bruce]

I knew it.

[Voicemail Caller]

And just knew I needed that menthol.

[David Bore]

He's gonna want that green anyway. Thanks, y'.

[Bruce Bruce]

All.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. Yeah. You got got, man.

[David Bore]

Yeah, I got you.

[Langston Kearney]

I don't know what to tell you.

[David Bore]

There's not even really anything to expand on. You really.

[Langston Kearney]

You took a big L there.

[David Bore]

That was tough.

[Bruce Bruce]

She did.

[David Bore]

That was really tough, man.

[Langston Kearney]

You really. Cause she. It'd be one thing if she under her breath. You know what I mean? If she, like, passively was like.

[Bruce Bruce]

She said it out loud.

[Redfin Announcer]

She.

[Langston Kearney]

She looked you in the eyes and said, I knew it. I knew your black ass was gonna want some Thin Mints. I got three boxes left just for you.

[David Bore]

Damn.

[Langston Kearney]

Three boxes. Crazy. A lot.

[Bruce Bruce]

That's a lot of cookies.

[Langston Kearney]

I think. I think. I think he found a source. And I think you don't end up buying Girl Scout cookies multiple times.

[David Bore]

Right? That's good.

[Langston Kearney]

I think most people, once you find one, you're like, all right, I did it. I got my cookies.

[David Bore]

You get it once a season. Yeah, it's Girl Scout cookies.

[Bruce Bruce]

Season.

[David Bore]

Let me go on and get all the ones for this season.

[Langston Kearney]

You go ahead and stash up, and then.

[David Bore]

I don't even find them like that. Do you fuck with girl scout cookies like that?

[Langston Kearney]

We have them because my wife has a friend whose niece is, like, in it, and so we'll support her by proxy, but, like, nah, we're not Thin mints. Yeah. And that's the thing. The stereotype is fair. We do like them the most, I think, in my house. Thin mints.

[Bruce Bruce]

I like the peanut butter better.

[David Bore]

I was gonna say lemons. I like the peanut butter ones. I like the shortbread ones. I even like the Samoans.

[Langston Kearney]

No, that's what they're called.

[David Bore]

That can't be what it is.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah, Samoas. Samoas, yeah. Not Samoans.

[Bruce Bruce]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

The peanut butter ones are crazy. The chocolate cover, those go nuts, too.

[Langston Kearney]

I like a lot of them, but mint Thin mint stands above the rest for me.

[David Bore]

You like mint chocolate chip ice cream?

[Langston Kearney]

It is the one for me. If you mix mint and chocolate, hell yeah.

[David Bore]

See, I'm like this, too. Toothpastey. Give me some candy.

[Langston Kearney]

Nah, I'm into it.

[David Bore]

I get it, though.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

The mints are fire.

[Langston Kearney]

Make chocolate refreshing. That shit's dope. Yeah. The girl scouts have changed Samoas to caramel delights just so you're.

[David Bore]

Oh, that's good. I thought you were gonna say to Tongans, This is a general Pacific Islander cookie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got got. That sucks, man. I don't really have. You didn't really ask for advice, but I don't really have much to tell you.

[Langston Kearney]

Yeah. It's unfortunate that happened to you. If it is still girl Scout season, if you want to go back to that grocery store and confront that woman, I think that's your right.

[David Bore]

Yeah. Go back with a hundred bucks and be like, give me all the Tongans you got.

[Langston Kearney]
