Episode Overview

This mini episode dives into a conspiracy theory from listener Alex, questioning if the US Army is using video games and the digital avatars of Black rappers to recruit Black youth and glamorize the military. Langston and Bora riff on military indoctrination, video game culture, and the complicated relationship between entertainment, celebrity endorsements, and systemic propaganda—mixing insightful skepticism with signature comedy.

---

1. Listener Email: Black Rappers, Video Games & Army Recruitment

Timestamp: 02:29–04:10

• Alex’s Email:
  • Subject: "USA army using video games to recruit black youth?!"
  • Alex highlights seeing famous rappers (Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage) as playable characters in Call of Duty, with full voice acting and likeness.
  • Claims video game companies and the US Army are “in cahoots,” using these rappers to make joining the Army seem fun/cool for Black kids.
  • Describes a broader entertainment trend of glamorizing the military and "Yassifying Western imperialism."
• Langston’s Reaction:
  • “That's a very damning, if true subject line right from the start.” (03:00)

---

2. The Power of Propaganda

Timestamp: 04:10–09:29

• Langston’s Take:

  • Strongly agrees with the idea that military recruitment efforts are built into all aspects of US culture.
    • “...there's a fair amount of evidence in every facet of our society that military, and certainly like the US Government, supports military propaganda. That they're constantly trying to get poor people and young people... to sign up for this shit.” (05:02)
  • Calls out normalized rituals, like the national anthem at basketball games, as evidence.
    • “The fact that we stand for the national anthem during fucking basketball games and shit is crazy.” (05:34)

• Personal Anecdotes:

  • Langston grew up “not standing” for the national anthem—his dad was very principled.
  • Bora reflects on peer pressure and high school, specifically post-9/11 patriotism backlash.
    • “I thought everybody felt...like, yeah, I don’t know.” (08:14)
    • “9/11 was sad because people died, not because I, like, the besmirching of our honorable—you know what I mean?” (08:49)

• On Indoctrination:

  • Teachers tried to pull Langston aside, telling him he was “better than this” for not standing—highlighting the pressure and “indoctrination” in schools. (07:04)

---

3. Generational & Cultural Distance from the Military

Timestamp: 09:29–11:14

• Family Background:

  • Bora notes both hosts’ upbringings made them less likely to buy into patriotic narratives.
    • “Maybe we were never gonna be those people... we already were gonna be disillusioned by it.” (09:38)
  • Langston:
    • Mixed influence—mother interested in “socialist ideas,” father steadfast in not participating in patriotic displays.
    • Jokes: “What am I gonna do, become a fucking sergeant?” (10:12)

• No Chance at Enlistment:

  • Langston says joining the military would have been his dad’s “greatest disappointment.”
  • Bora: “Letting your father down to serve your country. Yeah, that's backwards.” (10:56)

---

4. US Army, Gaming, and Drone Warfare

Timestamp: 14:06–15:45 & 22:37–23:36

• Recruitment Evolution:

  • Alex’s further argument: The Army targets gamers for drone operation, leveraging their gaming skills for real-world military action.

  • “There seems to be a pretty concentrated effort for U.S. army recruiters to target gamers to become drone operators who will use their gaming skills to bomb poor black and brown people...” (14:20)

  • Langston:

    • “At the very least it is meant to soften your discomfort with the idea of militarized violence.” (15:18)

  • Bora agrees, emphasizing the intentionality—“obvious that this is like a very intentional sort of like recruitment strategy.”

  • Later, Langston concludes:

    • “Drone technology is becoming more and more rooted in what the military's focus is. And a person that is good with video games and also comfortable with blood splatter... is probably a perfect recruit for the military...” (22:37–23:05)

  • Bora quips that “nerds aren’t going to make it through basic training,” but Langston thinks that’s beside the point as military roles evolve. (23:05–23:20)

---

5. The Rapper Branding Machine—And Selling Out

Timestamp: 15:45–18:43

• Bora’s Frustration:

  • Points out how easily rappers “give it up,” often legitimizing scams and dubious endorsements simply by appearing.
    • “It's always Rick Ross... so we thought it was legit.” (15:37)
  • Notes a pattern: Rappers have built their brands on being “street” and overcoming adversity, but now, are wealthy and disconnected from those roots.

• Langston’s Critique:

  • Criticizes Snoop Dogg—“You know you not supposed to sell your sh*t to the fucking military... You just wanted to do that.” (16:25–16:42)
  • General jab: “Y’all will pop that pussy for any motherfucker that got a dollar.” (16:53)

---

6. Side Tangent: DJ Envy, Real Estate Scams, and Scammer Culture

Timestamp: 16:58–22:29

• Context:

  • Riff on DJ Envy’s real estate scandal, drawing a parallel to trust placed in celebrity endorsements, which can enable both scams and military recruitment motives.

• Key Moments:

  • Langston describes watching a “supercut” of guests on The Breakfast Club calling DJ Envy a scam artist. (17:18)
  • Both agree they distrust famous people when they start pitching real estate hustles. (17:49–17:55)
  • Favorite anecdote: Joe Budden’s response to Envy, “You’re going to jail.” (18:00)
  • Duo doubts DJ Envy’s claim of ignorance—his financial cut was too grand to not understand. (19:16–19:53)

---

7. The Breakfast Club & the Cult of Celebrity

Timestamp: 21:00–22:29

• Langston:
  • Wonders how DJ Envy landed his role on The Breakfast Club.
  • “I think the other two are real useless dum dums that offer very little to anything. And I think that had he not been [Charlamagne] this provocateur and f*cking antagonist, the Breakfast Club would have just died off and that's that.” (21:49–22:04)
  • Only notable moments for Envy or Angela Yee are when “they’re getting cussed out by somebody else.” (22:13)

---

8. Conclusions: Yes, It’s Recruitment

Timestamp: 22:37–23:36

• Langston:
  • Asserts the Army’s use of video games, especially with rappers’ avatars, is an “obvious” and “intentional” recruitment and normalization technique.
  • Notes a fundamental shift in military culture as drone/push-button warfare replaces traditional physical requirements.
• Bora:
  • Sarcastically doubts “nerds” could pass basic training, but the point is moot given changing military strategy.

---

Notable Quotes

• Langston:

  • "At the very least it is meant to soften your discomfort with the idea of militarized violence." (15:18)
  • "What am I gonna do, become a fucking sergeant?" (10:12)

• Bora:

  • “Letting your father down to serve your country. Yeah, that's backwards.” (10:56)
  • “It's every time they make a scam and rappers... that's why you can't listen to DJ Envy.” (16:48)
  • "Y’all will pop that pussy for any motherfucker that got a dollar." (16:53)

---

Tone & Style

• The tone is irreverent, sharp, and humorous, with Langston and Bora punctuating criticism with jokes and personal stories.
• Their skepticism is clear, but there’s camaraderie and empathy for listeners’ concerns.

---

Final Thoughts

Langston and Bora agree that the digital inclusion of Black rappers in military shooters is not just commerce—it’s an intentional softening of anti-military skepticism, targeted at Black youth. They view this as part of a long history of propaganda and celebrity sell-out, cautioning listeners not to be seduced by hip-hop glamour or celebrity endorsements—military, financial, or otherwise.

Motherfucking mini episode. Mini episode. Motherfucking mini episode.

[Langston Kerman]

There it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me, the.

[Bora]

Podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of blackness. Beers.

[Langston Kerman]

And we finally work to prove the theories that you motherfuckers have at home. It's a motherfucking mini episode. We have an email. We got an email from a person named Alex. Alex sent us a very long, very hefty email.

[Bora]

I skimmed it.

[Langston Kerman]

You skimmed it. But the subject line reads, USA army using video games to recruit black youth Question mark, exclamation point. So a very. A very damning, if true subject line right from the start.

[Bora]

Right.

[Langston Kerman]

And Alex says, greeting the most to the most handsome and talented guys to ever host a podcast. Oh, that's very nice.

[Bora]

I know what I like.

[Langston Kerman]

Thank you. And they go on to say, I needed to draw your attention to something that piqued my interest when I encountered video game ads that included digital avatars of very famous rappers holding some big ass guns. Turns out that right now you can fire up Call of Duty and become the 3D embodiment of Snoop Doggy Dog, Nicki Minaj, or 21 Savage. Down to their voices and everything. I think these goddamn video game makers are in cahoots with the US Army. They're using the likeness of popular black rappers to convince kids that it is cool and fun to be a part of the armed forces. The entertainment industry has definitely been glamorizing the military industrial complex for a long time, but these recent developments have shown. But the man is really giving his all to Yassify Western imperialism.

[Bora]

First of all, Yasser Lester has nothing to do with this. He's a good. He's a good man. So I don't understand. Have you seen these commercial? I never see. Is it just like. It's like two chains playing Call of Duty?

[Langston Kerman]

I guess what he's saying is that it's not about just the commercial. He's saying that in the game itself, you have the option to play as Snoop Dogg with all the weaponry that a military person would have.

[Bora]

Oh, but they don't give you the option to be Garth Brooks. There we go. Yeah, I was gonna say Taylor Swift.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, no, that's. That's not an option. It's. It's.

[Bora]

I like where your head's. I mean, what do you think? What do you go first? What do you think?

[Langston Kerman]

So to the question of whether or not I believe that this is meant to be recruitment. I do. I do think that, like, there's a. There's a fair amount of evidence in every facet of our society that military, and certainly like the US Government supports military propaganda. That they're trying to constantly get poor people and young people and whoever they can aim for to sign up for this shit. And that's underwritten in everything we do. The fact that we stand for the national anthem during fucking basketball games and shit is crazy.

[Bora]

Did you ever not stand, though?

[Langston Kerman]

So I grew up in a house where we didn't stand.

[Bora]

Damn militant. For real, bro.

[Langston Kerman]

And it gets real wild.

[Bora]

I bet it goes fucked up. I bet it goes crazy.

[Langston Kerman]

Cause my dad, he meant that shit. And we would go to basketball games, and it'd just be me and that white man sitting next to me.

[Bora]

And everybody even wonders what you guys are doing there together.

[Langston Kerman]

They're already confused about what's happening here. They're like, that white man and his foster child are not standing for the flag.

[Bora]

That's good on your dad, though. I like that. That he stuck to his guns like that.

[Langston Kerman]

Nah. And he never will. He's not gonna stand for this shit. He's not gonna play around in it. None of that.

[Bora]

I love that I met your dad. Nice guy.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I love him. But. Yeah, it gets fucking embarrassing.

[Bora]

That's hard, though. That's a hard stance in public. That's like. That's how, you know he was with the shit.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, it was really. Nah, he's like, I'm not playing y' all game. I'm not gonna stand for this shit. We had a. And then I would. You know, it was like, how I sort of grew to understand the thing. And so I would do it at school, and I had multiple teachers, like, pull me aside and be like, you know, try to tell me how I'm better than this. I'm smarter than this. You know, like.

[Bora]

Which. That's where it gets scary, though, because that is indoctrination.

[Langston Kerman]

But that's what I'm saying. I think they. They all. We all get raised to believe that shit. That somehow we are besmirching the honor of this country by not, like. You know what I mean, serving at its fucking flapping, flappity flaps.

[Bora]

I don't call the flag pussies.

[Langston Kerman]

See, look how you caught up there.

[Bora]

Yeah, I didn't love it. I mean, I never. I always stood, but I remember. Cause, you know. Yeah. We were both in high school during 9 11. I remember, like, right after, when all the bush shit was popping. A bunch of the. Like. I don't know if they were goth or punks. I couldn't tell. I was too busy playing football. Bunch of kids wearing black didn't stand up. And I remember. Cause I didn't give a shit. But I remember being surprised how mad some other kids at school got at them.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Bora]

Like, there was this girl who was, like, damn near crying, like, screaming at them, like, during the national anthem. I remember.

[Langston Kerman]

Wow. Yeah.

[Bora]

Yeah. She still DMs me sometimes.

[Langston Kerman]

She's like, do you remember when those devils didn't stand for our flag?

[Bora]

Yeah, it was like. But it was like Cause I remember being in high school, like, thinking, like, I didn't know everybody believed in stuff. I thought everybody felt, like, the same way I did, that I was like, yeah, I don't know. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

That'S. I think, in part why I felt comfortable not standing. It originally was like, I just presumed none of us really gave a shit, but we were just sort of acting in tradition and then come to find out a bunch of people I knew really gave a shit, and it felt so crazy.

[Bora]

Yeah. Yeah, that's how I felt. I was like, wait, what?

[Langston Kerman]

Like, 911 was sad because people died, not because I, like, the besmirching of our honorable. You know what I mean?

[Bora]

I never even thought about it from that angle.

[Langston Kerman]

No. And instead, there's a lot of people who I thought were just saying this for political manipulation, not. You know what I mean? Like, I always presumed that the Republicans were just manipulating us with those stances. But then it became, like, people who fervently, like, yelled at me and wanted to, like, have real important conversations with me. It's like, oh, this is. Oh, y' all are nuts. All right.

[Bora]

Right, right, right. Oh, okay. I think it's also, though. But to be fair, my mom's not from here, and your dad is gangster about his.

[Langston Kerman]

Maybe we were.

[Bora]

Maybe we were not even raised to, like, we were never gonna be those people. You know what I mean? Like, we already were gonna be disillusioned by it. You know what I mean? Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

No, I never had a chance to believe in this country in a way that maybe would, you know what I mean? My mom was black and also, like, fucking around with, like, socialist ideas, although not like, nearly as practicing as my father was. And it's like, my dad's. You know, he believes in this more than anybody I've ever met. What am I gonna do, become a fucking sergeant?

[Bora]

That would be. Do you think there was any situation where you ever would have turned and done that? Like, where you could have gone to the army or been, like, a police officer or something like that?

[Langston Kerman]

I think that would have been my father's greatest disappointment. I don't. And I don't think that he's that type of dude who like, actively, like, you know, even in the way that he frames his thinking about us is not like, my son shamed me. My kid's embarrassed. You know what I mean? Like, I think he just sort of is like, nah, this is what my kids are. It is what it is. I'm. I'm at peace type approach, at least. But I do think if I joined the military, he would have actively felt shame and probably expressed it every chance he got.

[Bora]

Damn. Letting your father down to serve your country. Yeah, that's backwards.

[Langston Kerman]

And that. You know What? Not enough 20. 20 specials about that.

[Bora]

Nobody ever talks about it. For real?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Bora]

Never comes up. Never comes up.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. He joined the military and we fucking hate it.

[Bora]

Yeah. I don't think my parents would have been. They would have got it less than they got stand up comedy, which was not much. You know what I mean? Like, you might have been like. What the fuck are you talking about?

[Langston Kerman]

Okay. Hey, big man with the gun. All right.

[Bora]

Yeah. Don't tell them about our taxes. I'm just kidding. My whole family pays taxes. Uncle Sam.

[Langston Kerman]

You know how Uncle Sam's always listening?

[Bora]

He's not not listening.

[Langston Kerman]

That's fair.

[Bora]

Come on. You're a communist.

[Langston Kerman]

You know it.

[Langston Kerman]

I guess I do believe in it. Alex goes on to say, I've done a bit of light research. I'll leave the heavy lifting to the experts. Well, that's a bad idea because we ain't research. This.

[Bora]

This is our research.

[Langston Kerman]

You're doing it. And there seems to be a pretty concentrated effort for U.S. army recruiters to target gamers to become drone operators who will use their gaming skills to bomb poor black and brown people on the other side of the world. Now granted that the image of pink haired Nicki Minaj wielding AK47 implanting explosives on a helicopter is hilarious, I can't help feeling that having these black icons portrayed in this way is great for the army but ultimately detrimental for the black community. Also, their selection of rappers feels like some old white guys had an executive meeting and they said we need a rapper for the older crowd. Snoop Dogg one for the ladies and LGBT. Nicki Minaj won for the Gen Z kids 21 savage. And now they have assembled the perfect digitized hip hop posse to get the kids on their way to becoming real life soldiers.

[Bora]

I mean, I wish I had like a good counterpoint, but I'm with you.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, yeah. I think it feels fairly pretty obvious, obvious that this is like a very intentional sort of like recruitment strategy. At the very least it is meant to soften your discomfort with the idea of militarized violence.

[Bora]

What I get annoyed with within this whole thing is like, nigga, how easy rappers give it up, bro. You ever notice, you ever watch, I watch a lot of documentaries about scams and shit like that. It's always, it's always Rick Ross. And so it's like we knew it was a scam, then so and so threw a party and Rick Ross was there. So we thought it was legit.

[Langston Kerman]

Here's my other issue. And I think that for years rappers sort of got away with like these weird fucked up endorsements under the premise of like they are of the streets, they are surviving, they are making it out of the the sort of like bad shit that they grew up in. Snoop Dogg has been famous for 79.

[Bora]

Years now, longer than he hasn't he? He got on when he was 19.

[Langston Kerman]

He's been rich, he has been famous. He has been educated in every facet of this industry. Nigga, you know you not supposed to sell your to the fucking military.

[Bora]

Come on.

[Langston Kerman]

That's what.

[Bora]

Come on.

[Langston Kerman]

That. Bro, you just do it. You just wanted to do that. So come on, man.

[Bora]

Yeah, rappers are shills. They're like the Ronald Reagan of musicians.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. No, y' all will y' all pop that pussy for any motherfucker that got a dollar.

[Bora]

And that's crazy. It's every time they make a scam and rappers. That's why you can't listen to, like, DJ Envy. Of course I wouldn't listen to DJ Envy. What the fuck are you talking about? Why would I listen to DJ Envy about investing in real estate? What are you talking about?

[Langston Kerman]

You know what's so funny is that I just this morning was watching a super cut of people going onto the Breakfast Club and calling him a scam artist.

[Bora]

And, oh, there's a bunch of.

[Langston Kerman]

There's a bunch of people being like, nigga, you selling houses, but you don't know nothing about houses. He's like, nah, but I'm trying to educate my community. They're like, yeah, but you're taking the money, right? Like, these are your houses. They your rent. It's like every. There's just a massive, massive list of people being like, nigga, what are you doing?

[Bora]

I'm gonna be honest. I don't believe famous people when they say the words real estate.

[Langston Kerman]

That's fair.

[Bora]

I tune out immediately.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Bora]

I'm like, nope, that's not true.

[Langston Kerman]

In that supercut, there was a video where Envy says that when he first got in touch with this Caesar dude to potentially sell these houses and shit, the first three people he called were dj, Clue, Fabulous. Oh, Joe Budden, and Joe Budden. And he said. Joe Budden said, you're going to jail. And he said, fabulous said, huh? What? I'll call you back. And then DJ Clues said, it's not for me. And the fact that he didn't hear that and go, damn, Maybe I gotta chill.

[Bora]

Have you seen the clip where he's like, yeah, Cesar went to prison. That's where he learned about real estate.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. You're like, okay.

[Bora]

Like, you heard. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

No, that's not where you learn about real estate. You don't own anything.

[Bora]

No, you. What are you talking about?

[Langston Kerman]

This is the one time where you literally don't own anything.

[Bora]

Yeah, I don't. Yeah, that shit was like, I Don't think I would have fallen for that. I like, I get scammed on low levels. Cause I like it. But like, I'm not just giving my millions to some dude now, do you?

[Langston Kerman]

Maybe this isn't a fair line of questioning. It probably doesn't matter. Do you believe DJ Envy when he says he didn't know that this was happening?

[Bora]

No.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, me neither.

[Bora]

No, I think he was. You were making too much of it off of it to not understand the inner workings. If he was getting paid little 2,000, $5,000 here or there. If you're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars, you know where and how that money comes in.

[Langston Kerman]

It's just.

[Bora]

It's too much money to not. You know what I'm saying?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. His cut was too big for his knowledge to be that. That small.

[Bora]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. Yeah. It just is not.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't think maybe he did a lot of the dirty work. Right. Like, I think that he probably was just a consenting party to whatever, like the. However the money was made. But I don't buy that he truly was like the. He's arrested.

[Bora]

What? No, we were enlightening our community, but.

[Langston Kerman]

We were business partners. Yeah.

[Bora]

But hey, you know, good on him. You work for a while. Enjoy.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I worked for a while and, you know, the Breakfast Club had its run. Maybe Charlamagne will call you collect every once in a while and. Or you'll call him collect.

[Bora]

I think that's what's going to happen.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I know.

[Bora]

You have a collect call from Blank County Correctional Facility. DJ Envy.

[Langston Kerman]

And Angela Yee, Charlamagne. God, we are the Breakfast Club.

[Bora]

I always, never understood how you got that job. Angela Yee made sense and Charlamagne made sense. I never understood how DJ Envy is.

[Langston Kerman]

You think Yee made sense?

[Bora]

Yeah. Cause she was on. I had known of her before the Breakfast Club and I knew about Charlamagne th. God, because of Wendy Williams. And then he was just like, always online saying wild shit. I had never heard of Envy before that, though.

[Langston Kerman]

I think for me, both Angela Yee and DJ Envy felt like the choice the radio station planned for. And then Charlamagne just ended up being what made them.

[Bora]

He was like the Breakfast Club. Okay, that's fair.

[Langston Kerman]

I think the other two are real useless dum dums that offer very little to anything. And I think that had he not been this provocateur and fucking antagonist, the Breakfast Club would have just died off and that's that.

[Bora]

Yeah, I think so. It wouldn't have been and it wouldn't have had anything.

[Langston Kerman]

There's never been a single clip featuring just DJ Envy or just Ye.

[Bora]

Ah, there was.

[Langston Kerman]

That isn't them getting cussed out by another person. You're right.

[Bora]

You're all right.

[Langston Kerman]

That's the only time that it ever goes popping is if they're either trying to cuss somebody out or getting cussed out by somebody else that people give a fuck about that.

[Bora]

That's true. That's true. Well, what do you think, Langston? I think we've done it. I just. I don't know.

[Langston Kerman]

No, I think. I think, Alex. It feels fairly obvious. Obviously, drone technology is becoming more and more rooted in what the military's sort of like, focus is. And a person that is good with the video games and also comfortable with blood splatter from, you know, some. Some fucking foreign civilian is probably a perfect recruit for the military. So, yes, that makes perfect sense to me.

[Bora]

Yeah. The only issue is these nerds aren't going to make it through basic training. I don't think.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't even know that they're going to give a fuck about basic training at that point. Yeah. I think we're moving into a way, a world where like, basic training doesn't matter the same way it used to. You know what I mean?

[Bora]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Like, they're probably gonna, like, have sections of the shit where it's just like, all right, yeah, he didn't run. He didn't run his mile in under six minutes or whatever the fuck it is. But we're good. He can. He can come.

[Bora]

All right, yeah, I'm with that.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, they're gonna figure it out. Well, shit, that's that. Alex, I hope this was satiating for you. I hope all of it felt good. Bora, you want to tell the people where they can find you and what cool shit you have going on.

[Bora]

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, it's nice. And occasionally they're mean spirited and that's also funny. I laugh at those maybe much more than the other way around.

[Bora]

Yeah, it is. Cause sometimes hurting it, you know, you're alive.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. Oh, I still matter. Okay.

[Bora]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

All right.

[Bora]

I just like to feel.

[Langston Kerman]

But yeah, that's. That's the whole thing. Bye.

[Bora]

Look at your neighbor and say, he's a meat stretcher. He'll stretch your meat. Hallelujah.

[Langston Kerman]

Hallelujah, church man.
