Motherfucking mini episode Mini Episode Motherfuckin mini episode.
Langston Kerman
There it is. There it is Is Ladies and gentlemen, Gentiles and little mamas alike, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told.
David Borey
Me, the podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories.
Langston Kerman
And we finally work to Prove the theories that you, the lil mamas, and others have at home. Come on. It's a motherfucking mini episode.
David Borey
Come on, baby.
Langston Kerman
I gotta tell you, I'm a little upset. I'm a little scared of something that's been happening lately.
David Borey
Oh, I won't do it again on this episode.
Langston Kerman
No, no, no. Not, Not. Oh, Jesus Christ.
David Borey
No, Never mind.
Langston Kerman
You know what's been scaring me is I'm really scared of this Popeyes Don Julio collab.
David Borey
Oh, I'm not even familiar.
Langston Kerman
Popeyes and Don Julio have linked up officially. Officially. And they're making a chicken.
David Borey
I don't like that. I don't like it when shit you do in the house becomes official.
Langston Kerman
It for sale at Popeyes restaurants. A Don Julio chicken collaboration.
David Borey
Wait, like, fried?
Langston Kerman
I believe it's fried in Don Julio.
David Borey
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, buddy.
Langston Kerman
I wish I was making this.
David Borey
Not good, David.
Langston Kerman
I wish I was lying to you, but Popeyes and Don Julio.
David Borey
One who contacted. Who do you think Popeye's called? Don Julio? I don't. You think John Julio contacted Popeyes?
Langston Kerman
It's the first of all. I do not. I think. I think Popeyes didn't need this. Popeye's has killed us effectively for years.
David Borey
That's true.
Langston Kerman
Without any assistance. And that's what scares me the most, is they've been beating the fuck out of our community individually. Tequila and fried chicken had been whooping our ass.
David Borey
I feel like tequila's new, though.
Langston Kerman
It's not. It wasn't our favorite for a while, but then that Casamigos hit. But that's what I think.
David Borey
That's even what happened with cognac, though, because, like, I remember listening to this Patrice O'Neill joke where he was like, you remember when black people started drinking Hennessy? And I was like, oh, I didn't even. Because it's before our time. I didn't even know.
Langston Kerman
It has always been for me, Hennessy as a black drink.
David Borey
Yeah. Yeah. But, like, I don't think it was like that in the 70s.
Langston Kerman
That's crazy.
David Borey
You know what I'm saying? So it's like, maybe it was just time for a new one.
Langston Kerman
I mean, I. I bet it's the same way that, like, ENJ used to be a thing. You know what I mean?
David Borey
Like, I think the Irkin Jerk is still a thing.
Langston Kerman
But that's what I mean is that for some people, it's still a thing. But then there's other classes of people that Go like, well, that's some old nigga shit. We ain't still on that. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, nobody's. Nobody's singing about ENJ anymore.
David Borey
No, no, no, no.
Langston Kerman
It was in our songs.
David Borey
That's true.
Langston Kerman
It was like our shit for a while. And I was like, yeah, no, we don't do that.
David Borey
I think tequila is a dangerous thing. Anyways.
Langston Kerman
Well, buddy, I got bad news. Don Julio and Popeyes linked up for the.
David Borey
God, I knew it was a glaze. I knew. You know what the worst part is? Sorry, we're sold out.
Langston Kerman
I swear.
David Borey
It sucks. Is it? No, sorry. It says, sorry, y'all, we sold out.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
Damn, this is fucked up. They got a commemorative glass, though.
Langston Kerman
That's what makes us. I. It's. This really scares me. Oh. Because you know what this feels like. They. They were beating our ass so effectively before this. It feels like they were like, fuck it. We're gonna get your. Your fattest uncle and your drunkest tio to do, like, a fusion technique and a finishing move. Do you know what I mean? Like, this feels like the beginning of the end.
David Borey
This is off the top ropes.
Langston Kerman
This is like, we only got a little bit left in this fight. And if we can get them to eat this. Don Julio flavored chicken.
David Borey
The menu blends the rich heritage of Popeye's Louisiana style cooking with the bold flavors of tequila. Don Julio reposado, a tribute to craftsmanship, culture, and iconic celebrations. I argue this is none of those things.
Langston Kerman
No. Whose culture inspired this?
David Borey
Ho.
Langston Kerman
This is whole culture.
David Borey
Popeye's spicy strawberry hibiscus flavored lemonade mocked.
Langston Kerman
Fuck. Come on, man. This is bad.
David Borey
I would drink that. Yeah, I would drink that.
Langston Kerman
But that's what's scary is that there's no healthy person who doesn't want a bite of this chicken.
David Borey
And then Popeyes Don or Tequila Don Julio repo flavored Louisiana garlic three piece wings.
Langston Kerman
Come on, man.
David Borey
And then concha roll chicken sandwich.
Langston Kerman
You get blackout and eat. Eat fucking new new chicken. New chicken is.
David Borey
You wake up with that in your bed. They did a new. They did a new logo for it, bro.
Langston Kerman
They did a new and it's sexy.
David Borey
Guess where they only sold it? Miami, New York, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Kansas City.
Langston Kerman
That doesn't feel sinister to you?
David Borey
Yeah. You couldn't thrown in Omaha for no. For dei. You couldn't have dei. The Popeyes Don Julio collab.
Langston Kerman
The nice people in Montana deserve to collab. They're like, we ain't gonna waste our money over there.
David Borey
Yo. This is also crazy because they also have an exclusive offer on uber eats. Score. $5. You get a chicken sandwich and $5 off a bottle of Don Julio, bro.
Langston Kerman
That's crazy, man. If you are a fast food eater, and I do not shame anybody. That does it. I myself love fast food. But you are a. You are consenting. By eating fast food, you are consenting into a slightly earlier demise than you would have had if you had eaten anything else.
David Borey
No, really? Seriously, send me that link.
Langston Kerman
Truly. Truly is going to. It's killing us, right? So the idea that they then are like, yo, you're not killing yourself fast enough is so crazy.
David Borey
Liquor with chicken is crazy. That was already. That's some shit you do and feel bad about when you say that's my shit. You know what I mean? That's what I do. I eat Popeyes and Don Julio.
Langston Kerman
I put a little Henny in the. In the spaghetti. Yeah. That's my. That's what make it taste good to me.
David Borey
That's my orange juice.
Langston Kerman
You know, Hennessy. Just grapes, bro.
David Borey
That is. Bro. I hate to talk about even political, but that feels like in the same way that politics is jumping out the window.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
Just capitalism and marketing is jumping out the window.
Langston Kerman
They don't give a fuck no more.
David Borey
Nobody gives a fuck about. They're trying to kill us.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
They're trying.
Langston Kerman
Like, they used to have to hide it.
David Borey
Mm. Companies used to have to pretend like they had your best interests in mind.
Langston Kerman
They had to be like, look, we don't want you dead.
David Borey
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. You're a fine young man. Yeah. We believe in you.
David Borey
We use the finest ingredients for the Arch deluxe dog.
Langston Kerman
The McDonald's commercials used to be more about, like, getting a job than they were about fucking.
David Borey
Fucking Calvin or about community.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
Oh, man. You and your friends, you're all at McDonald's now. It's like, nope. You're up late. You're drunk.
Langston Kerman
I watched a McDonald's, an old McDonald's commercial the other day of a little boy who his mom is going on a date with a new man. This is like.
David Borey
I said that to you?
Langston Kerman
Oh, yeah, we watched it. Did we watch this together? Yeah.
David Borey
Yeah. It was like, how to impress your single mother's son. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He's like, we're going to McDonald's. He's like, fine. And then they're at McDonald's, they see some fine little thing over on the other side. He's like, fine. You could date my mom, but keep it clean or whatever. It's like, crazy.
David Borey
It was crazy because he also had a son, right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah. His son was in the play place.
David Borey
No. Yeah. Companies used to have to pretend to care about us. This does feel like it's, like, diabolic. It's like an underground. It's like. It's like a. It's like a spoof. We've jumped the shark. That's like. That feels like. That feels like the plot of Undercover Brother 3 is they're trying to make that, and Undercover Brothers got to stop it.
Langston Kerman
It's. It doesn't even feel like we're playing a game anymore if we're not in the streets protesting this. You know what I mean? Like, we're not honestly looking for survival or progress. If we don't pick up pitchforks and flaming torches and burn down some financial institution, what are we going to do?
David Borey
We're going to. We're going to burn down 1942. What are you talking about?
Langston Kerman
I'm just.
David Borey
Those bottles look cool to me.
Langston Kerman
I'm just saying. A violence objectively happening to us, and we are all consenting to drink 1942. I do not know Me either.
David Borey
I was, though. I was at a bachelor party.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
And my. The guy who's getting married, his brother bought us all shots in 1942 and paid so much money, and he was like, this is all I drink. And I was, like, thinking about. He's like, my age, and I'm like, that's because of rap, though.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
There's like. You didn't start. You know what I mean?
Langston Kerman
It don't taste that different.
David Borey
No, I think it's kind of a scary. Casamigos is, like, actually not good or whatever. It's full of sugar or some shit. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I have no idea what a good and a bad tequila are. I just drink the one that. That I picked. You know what I mean?
David Borey
Yeah, I drink the clear one.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I drink fucking Casamigos because people around me liked Casamigos. So I'm like, yeah, okay.
David Borey
I do with Don Julio, though, because a Puerto Rican guy that I worked with at the casino put me onto it.
Langston Kerman
But that's what I mean. Like, you go around a community, and then the community goes, this what we like. And you go, well, I like y'all. So, yeah, I'll drink that, too.
David Borey
Yeah, I didn't.
Langston Kerman
I didn't drink Epsilon. My wife drank Epsilon. And then it was like, okay, well, I guess we drink Epsilon.
David Borey
Yeah. You're not even saying it right.
Langston Kerman
No Espalog. That one, too. I don't drink either one of those.
David Borey
No, it's all. Because, man, it's all.
Langston Kerman
A lady that I like liked it, so now I like it.
David Borey
No, I've drank a bunch of dumb shit for women. But this is like, it's crossing over because it's also. And this is. Tell me if I'm jumping out the window. It's also like, now kids can have their own version of Don Julio, is what you're saying, right?
Langston Kerman
Brother, I'm telling you, can't drink Don Julio. You tried to walk me back, but I'm saying that this is an actual violence against our community. You are making it so that a child can go to that restaurant and say, I would like the Don Julio chicken, please. And they give them Don Julio chicken. And that doesn't. You're talking about a gateway drug into, like, a relationship with alcohol.
David Borey
And then that kid goes and he tells all the other kids, I love Don Julio chicken.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, but now we all got a relationship with Don Julio. Don Julio's a nice guy all of a sudden. Don Julio's always been good to me.
David Borey
That shit might be worse than rappers, bro.
Langston Kerman
Dog, It's.
David Borey
That's pure commerce.
Langston Kerman
This is a bad thing.
David Borey
And, like, nobody's ever. Cause no liquor has ever collaborated with. I mean, I guess with Chicken. I was just laughing because it sounds like a joke. Like, it doesn't even feel real.
Langston Kerman
I didn't even know it was possible. I didn't even know they could do that at Popeyes.
Ryan Seacrest
To be like, we're gonna link up.
Langston Kerman
With a liquor company. I thought there were, like, rules against this shit.
David Borey
There has to be rules against it. For years there, the direct marketing. They put it in Philadelphia, bro. This is crazy.
Langston Kerman
That's nuts.
David Borey
It's so bad, yo.
Langston Kerman
They didn't even do la. Cause LA doesn't have that big of a black population. They were like, nah, we ain't gotta waste our time over there. All that crunchy shit. We're going. Where they at. It's bad, man.
David Borey
Man, I don't even know. That shit is.
Langston Kerman
We're praying for the city of Atlanta.
David Borey
That shit is disheartening, yo. You know, that's where it drops for real.
Langston Kerman
We're praying for the city of Atlanta right now.
David Borey
Pray for me, man. I still want it. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
No, you're in a bad way, too.
David Borey
I want to try it. You don't want to try it.
Langston Kerman
I really want to try it.
David Borey
I really want to try it.
Langston Kerman
I really want to try it. And I don't know how I would have the strength to stand in line for it right now.
David Borey
Drive through baby.
Langston Kerman
Put some sunglasses. Nobody knows that. Is that Jareth? No. You are what no bitch World star. I pull off like that man who.
David Borey
Who was naked from the bottom down because you would have to be alone.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I can't bring my kids with me to do that. That's horrible.
David Borey
You truly can't even anybody who loves you.
Langston Kerman
No.
David Borey
That's hard for single people. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's not how you treat a family.

I think this is bad. I'm worried about my people. I'm worried about. About the city of Atlanta, the city of Miami, all of these places. Philly. God, Philly.
David Borey
Is this unprecedented?
Langston Kerman
It must be at this, this.
David Borey
I was going to say, though, I have seen like a, like a Jack.
Langston Kerman
Daniels steak, like a TGI Friday Jack Daniel sauce exists.
David Borey
Right.
Langston Kerman
But. But I think cooking with whiskey has been a little bit more of like a standardized premise.
David Borey
That's true. Tequila is not a food flavor. No.
Langston Kerman
Nobody's like, yeah, gimme that. I guess now. But like, tequila doesn't have the same vibes as whiskey.
David Borey
No. I've never heard of even tequila being used in cooking. Now that I like. Nobody's like, oh, this is my famous tequila chicken. Or like tequila pastries.
Langston Kerman
I've heard of it, but it felt like more of like end times decision than like, yeah, pastries. I don't.
David Borey
Right, right. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
No tequila ca. Coming back.
David Borey
It's also like. It's also so directly at us, which is crazy. Did we take Tequila then?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I don't know that we took it. I think Spanish reign supreme over tequila.
David Borey
But they're not doing this shit at fucking Pollo Loco.
Langston Kerman
No, because I don't think we at El Pollo Loco.
David Borey
But that's what I'm saying. If it's still a bigger market for the Hispanic people, why is it. Does it speak to our buying habits? Maybe that's what it is more it speaks to like the things that. And that. We already went nuts when they dropped the sandwich.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
Because like, if it's presumably a bigger market. Right. It would make sense that they would, that they. That they would do the same thing for Pollo Loco or some other shit. And the fact that they don't means, like, they're really targeting us.
Langston Kerman
I think Popeye's is just bigger and better. Do you know what I mean? Like, I think Don Julio probably put out their feelers everywhere. But when Popeyes was like, yeah, we'll talk.
David Borey
Damn.
Langston Kerman
You know what I mean? Like, if you put. If you want.
David Borey
They didn't even make it one item. They made it a whole menu, bro.
Langston Kerman
If you're hooping and Nike calls, you pick up the phone. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what Popeyes is. It's probably a whole section on the menu now.
David Borey
Oh, you're gonna talk about plane crashes.
Langston Kerman
Somehow more uplifting, no?
David Borey
Yeah. This shit is like just the branding of it, the direct of it. It's like, ah, man, it's tough, man. Yeah, it's. It is tough. It is like, that is. That's. You're right. That is a violence.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Borey
That's not even a conspiracy that. They did it.
Langston Kerman
They did it.
David Borey
I bet it's coming back.
Langston Kerman
The sandwich or the chicken?
David Borey
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Fuck yeah. They're not done.
David Borey
They just. They put it in the test market.
Langston Kerman
I think they literally ran out. I think they were like, well, we only made so much because we didn't know how quickly this would catch on. We knew. We knew we'd get some people, but we didn't know how effective it would be. And then y'all showed up in droves. And now we gotta stir some more fucking poison. We ran out of arsenic is what they're saying.
David Borey
God damn.
Langston Kerman
We think the worst of you. And we still didn't have enough to kill all of y'all yet.
David Borey
Yeah, that shit's no fun, man.

Yeah. No, I'm sorry.

Podcast Summary: My Momma Told Me – "Fried Chicken 'n Tequila Nightmare: Motherf*ckin Mini Episode"
Episode Information
Introduction to the Mini Episode [02:21 - 02:55]
The episode kicks off with a high-energy introduction as hosts Langston Kerman and David Borey set the stage for a thought-provoking discussion on contemporary Black conspiracy theories. Langston announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, Gentiles and little mamas alike, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told" ([02:31]).
Main Discussion: The Popeyes and Don Julio Collaboration [02:55 - 21:40]
Unveiling the Collaboration [03:02 - 04:00] Langston expresses his apprehension about the recent collaboration between Popeyes and Don Julio, proclaiming, "I know what's been scaring me is I'm really scared of this Popeyes Don Julio collab" ([03:11]). David echoes his sentiment, highlighting the unusual nature of the partnership: "Popeye's and Don Julio have linked up officially... making a chicken" ([03:19]).
Cultural Implications and Concerns [04:10 - 07:00] The hosts delve into the deeper implications of this collaboration on the Black community. Langston laments, "Popeye's has killed us effectively for years" ([04:10]), suggesting that such corporate moves may further marginalize Black communities. They discuss the historical context of Black affinity for certain brands, with Langston noting, "Hennessy has always been, for me, a black drink" ([04:38]).
Marketing and Capitalism Critique [07:00 - 12:00] A significant portion of the conversation critiques the intersection of marketing strategies and capitalism, accusing corporations of exploiting Black culture for profit. David states, "Politically, this feels like capitalism and marketing are jumping out the window" ([09:12]), emphasizing the perceived disregard for community well-being in favor of commercial gains.
Impact on Society and Youth [12:00 - 15:01] The discussion transitions to the potential societal impact, particularly on the youth. Langston warns, "This is actual violence against our community" ([13:15]), arguing that introducing alcohol-themed products to Black-owned establishments could normalize alcohol consumption among young people, creating a "gateway" effect.
Conspiracy Theory Exploration [15:28 - 21:40] Langston and David explore the notion that this collaboration is part of a broader conspiracy aimed at undermining the Black community. Langston metaphorically describes the situation as, "They ran out of arsenic" ([20:58]), insinuating a deliberate attempt to "poison" the community through such partnerships. They debate whether this represents an escalation in corporate tactics against Black businesses and culture.
Notable Quotes
Conclusion and Final Thoughts [21:40 - 22:58]
