Motherfucking mini episode. Mini episode. Motherfucking mini episode. I said I was the cops. Your husband's in jail. The state looks down on sodomy. And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me. Welcome, little mamas and gentiles alike, to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told.
Langston Kerman
Me the podcast, where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of black conspiracy.
Unknown
Theories, and we finally work to prove the conspiracies of you or us. Whatever. It's a mini episode.
Langston Kerman
It's a motherfucking mini episode. And that was a beautiful poem you read. I. I would say.
Unknown
I'll tell you what happened. I got in my head. I recently. I listened to, like, a bunch of Blink 182 songs. Because I got it in my head. There's one song where the guy's like, where are you? And it's so funny the way that they sing it. And then I went down, like, a list.
Langston Kerman
You're talking about the one about Jack and Sally. About Nightmare Before Christmas? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown
It's a good song. Where are you? And then I. But then I got to.
Langston Kerman
And I'm so sorry. I cannot breathe I cannot sleep tonight.
Unknown
Yo, that's so funny. I don't know how I missed it.
Langston Kerman
The whole shit is so funn. And always this big, strange darkness.
Unknown
So Vince Bennell happens every time, that shit. That's funny. That's funny shit to me, man. I like that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. It's cool that those were like, adult men, you know what I mean? Like, being like, I'm gonna talk. I'm gonna say something in a baby voice and sing about the Nightmare Before Christmas.
Unknown
My question is, did. They were just making it for kids, right? Like, that was music for children at the. Like.
Langston Kerman
I think they would have called it Music for the youth. I don't think that they would have framed it as, like, hey, we're making baby music the way I think you're implying. I think they. I think they imagined themselves to have, like, a similar imprint to like, what Nirvana was doing in the. I think in the counterculture. Ness of it. I think they probably think they were as rogue as some of their peers. All right, that's my suspicion. But maybe I don't understand what Blink182 was. You know what I mean, in the grand scheme of things.
Unknown
Yeah. I don't really know. I just know the rhythms are okay. And it's funny. Cause even that one idea is so.
Langston Kerman
It's, like, fun to sing, but, like, even. What's his name? Travis Barker.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Ain't that the Drummer from Blink180?
Unknown
He's got the tattoos. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And he really thinks he's, like, a bad motherfucker, like, you know what I mean? Like, he really thinks he's, like, rock and roll fucking personified. And he was in Blink 182.
Unknown
Maybe he is, man. I don't know what that shit is. You know what I mean? I don't know. I think punk seems a pretty large genre.
Langston Kerman
I wonder if they look at our shit like that, though. Do you know what I Mean, like where like, we. We have silly billies who are also killers.
Unknown
Yeah. Like Petey Pablo.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Or Young Thug, where it's like, you, you're you. You have a lot of snake emblems.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
You wear dresses.
Unknown
And he's from Atlanta.
Langston Kerman
And you sing beautifully. Like, not even like on some. Like, 50 was singing, but 50 was like being a nigga about it. Young Thug really being there harmonizing this shit. And that's the meanest man there ever was.
Unknown
I hope so. I hope there are white people who are just casually like, nah, I just love that Danny Glover song by Young Thug. Like the way that we can do with Blink 182.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think a part of them's like, I think he's silly. And then we're like, no, no, no, he's very serious. So maybe it's the same way. 182 where we go, that's silly. Right? And they go, no, no, no, that's. That's our. That's our innovators. That's our.
Unknown
If we have any black punk rock fans, let us know. I know there are because, like, I remember when you read about, like the inception of hip hop and stuff like that in New York City, it seems like that the rap artists and the punk artists played a lot of the same venues early on. So I think there's definitely some crossover.
Langston Kerman
And I want people. If. If people do decide to wr scales of legitimacy to Blink 182. I want to be clear. I am not asking you what you think of them now in today's hour. I don't. I get it there. You know, in. In history, we will always rewrite it to feel different, with new perspective, new sense of the world. I'm talking about in. In whatever the 1998, when that was hitting.
Unknown
Yep.
Langston Kerman
When. When it was as hot as it could have been. Were they in any way seen as like, legitimate representations of counterculture punk ass shit?
Unknown
Yes, exactly, bitch.
Langston Kerman
All right, bitch.
Unknown
Anyways, we got it. We got a voicemail. It's time.
Langston Kerman
It is time.
Unknown
I'm very excited. I'm very excited. It is time. Bring that back.
Langston Kerman
I love it when you do that too.
Unknown
Yeah, man. What's going on with y'all, man? Y'all. Y'all not doing the show like y'all used to do, man. I use. I. I drive home, man. I listen to show on Tuesday, man. I got this repeat on there. Too much stuff going on.
Langston Kerman
Oh, pause for one second, please. Let's. Let's pause right there. What the Is happening. What the Is happening?
Unknown
I think this is a man coming apart. I think he is.
Langston Kerman
He. He sounds. He sounds desperate. He sounds desperate in a way where he's counting on us to make things better for him. And if that's the case, sir, I'm so sorry. I don't have that. I don't have that power.
Unknown
I dare say. Frantic, bro.
Langston Kerman
He's a. Hey, man. Hey, Jack. What the fuck is going on? Same sucker.
Unknown
I'm just trying to get a taste.
Langston Kerman
I come to you two niggas to fix this. Fix this, niggas.
Unknown
I am happy we have a fan as devoted as this. But my man is going through, dog.
Langston Kerman
He is in a bad way. His wife is gone. His children are gone. Don't nobody in his life want to help. And he listens to my mama told me, and he wants it to be right. And we ain't doing it right. And for that, I'm sorry.
Unknown
Eggs is $80. You don't know what to make of the world. I don't know where Greenland is. We have to. We have to start this back at the top. We have to hear the complete. We have to use complete.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Go ahead.
Unknown
Yeah, man. What's going on with y'all, man? Y'all. Y'all not doing the show like y'all used to do, man. I use. I. I drive home, man. I listen to show on Tuesday, man. I got this repeat on there. There's too much stuff going on, you know, just talk about anything, man.
Langston Kerman
Come on.
Ryan Seacrest
Yo.
Langston Kerman
He didn't even have a pitch for us. It was. He didn't even have a pitch. He didn't even. He didn't have nothing. He's like.
Unknown
Nah, man. Just broke down.
Langston Kerman
He was like, fuck, man. Just. Just talk about anything, man. Come on.
Unknown
Come on, man.
Langston Kerman
I just need to hear David's voice. Okay? It's the only way I can go to sleep at night, is if I hear David's voice. And if you don't say something to him, then what are we doing?
Unknown
Oh, man. Oh. They say there's a part two. Part two.
Langston Kerman
Let's listen to part two. Here we go. Yeah.
Unknown
I just thought about another thing, man. You know this. What's this name? Zoe Saldana. Y'all can talk about her. She the female version of a. Yo, Poppy. I know black. Y'all talk about that. Or this Trump, you know, eggs is like, $5. Yeah, man. I'm sorry, man. I don't mean to come at y'all. All right, all right.
He said, I'm Sorry, man. I'm sorry, man.
Langston Kerman
I'm not gonna lie. I feel bad. I really feel like I let my down and I don't like how that feels.
Unknown
No, that shit hurt, bro.
Langston Kerman
He's in a bad man, bro. I'm sorry. I ain't mean to do you like that, man. I'll make sure I talk to him about Zoe Sedonia. How did he say this? Bitch, you could tell he was just.
Unknown
It felt like he was like looking at a newspaper. Like, you can talk.
Langston Kerman
He's the usual suspecting around the room.
David Borey
Is this.
Langston Kerman
Zoe Trump cheesecake talk about anything, please. And then he was mad that he got mad at us. That was crazy.
Unknown
That was. Oh, man.
Langston Kerman
Look, bro, if I'm understanding what he's saying, and I don't know that I do, I understand that he's upset with us. Maybe it's because we. We haven't been as politically charged as he would like us to be. Maybe that we're not taking edgier conversations into account in modern day times.
Unknown
I think he's mad cause we put a rerelease out on Tuesday.
Langston Kerman
Oh. Oh, okay. He's mad that. He's mad that this isn't our only existence.
Unknown
Yeah. Yeah. Which I. I appreciate the fandom.
Langston Kerman
That's dope, man.
Unknown
Yeah. Sometimes niggas gonna miss a week, man.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I'm sorry. I. I really, I. It's not us trying to let you down, but truly, we cannot do this 52 weeks a year. It is not possible.
Unknown
Yeah. Lanks has got children. I have various endeavors I'm wrapped up in.
Langston Kerman
That said, we're back right now, and we're happy to tell you that we've addressed Zoe Saldana quite a few times. My favorite thing that I wish. Maybe we should do this together. I have not yet seen her Nina Simone film.
Unknown
Oh, you want to watch it?
Langston Kerman
I think that'd be nice if you and I sat down and watched Nina Simone together.
Unknown
I'm going to be there this weekend. I'm down for it.
Langston Kerman
I think it would be not only one of the more hilarious experiences we could share together, but also informative on my position on Saldanya.
Ryan Seacrest
Let's do it.
Unknown
Didn't she blackface?
Langston Kerman
That's the whole film. It's her. She's painted your color. She starts my color and then she's your color pretending to be Nina Simone.
Unknown
God damn. Maybe we do just gotta let people be dead, bro.
Langston Kerman
There's no reason to bring that lady up. You know why? Especially because she would hate it. Because it's her whole shit was like, I don't even want y'all listening to my music. I don't want you selling it. I don't want you borrowing me and my identity. I just want to sing a song because it heals me at my essence. And then we were like, bitch, you are too good at this for us to not steal it in every way possible. You will die broke and crazy because of the way that we take things from you.
Unknown
We got to dip our finger back in it because it's like, at some point, she must have watched one of the many interviews, right? Like, how was she? Like, yeah, this is. This is how, you know, I. Okay, I've been thinking about this a lot. I do believe that acting is a skill. I don't think that you have to be intelligent to do. It's just like mimicry or. It's not always that, but I don't think you have to be super smart to be a great actor.
Langston Kerman
I think I 100% agree with that. I don't think that you need to be a smart person to be a great actor. I also think that while we are often, when you see actors, they're depicting social intelligence, you don't actually have to have to have social intelligence to depict it. Like, I think that is the psychosis of acting is that a lot. A lot of very talented actors have zero social intelligence, but are able to demonstrate it in, like, a perfectly accurate way. And that's why we're always disappointed where you're like, yo, I thought you were, like, the guy that you're able to portray. And they're like, no, no, no, I'm a dumb. Dumb. Yeah, I'm a fucking idiot. I just was just good at pretending.
Unknown
Yeah, I'm crazy. That's like the, you know, current company excluded. I feel like oftentimes when I've met actors in life is always very disappointing.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
When I had some idea of, like, what I thought they were going to be.
Langston Kerman
And I think stand up just helps to balance that shit out. Because I could 100% see if I fully leaned into being an actor, how I could detach myself from. You know what I mean? It's just so objectifying and also so, like, competitive in this unexplained, almost ethereal way that, like, if you don't fully commit yourself to a new type of thinking, you really can't survive. Do you know what I mean? Like, you really got to give in to this is important. Important. And I must focus my everything inside.
Unknown
Of it and I, and I get that you have to care about what you do if you're gonna be successful. I mean we get it like on our end of things. But.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I mean I think about like the, the long ass arguments and conversations you and I have had about like different comedians and like what, what's happening in the state of comedy. Like very specific names that bother the fuck out of us. And we'll talk about it for a long time.
Unknown
We'll send each other pictures.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And truly it doesn't, it does not change anything. It doesn't mean anything to anyone else. You know what I mean? Like if I tell my wife about it, she's not going to be interested.
Unknown
I tried to tell my girl about some shit last night. She fell asleep. But then I heard myself, I heard myself being like, why did you wanna align with the Austin comedian? Yeah, bitch, go to bed. You gotta work tomorrow. What am I babbling about?
Langston Kerman
This doesn't mean anything.
Unknown
Not. She doesn't even know who I'm talking about. Cause she doesn't even like comedy like that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Which is the reason you like her, I assume.
Unknown
It's really one of the huge points. Yeah, the kindness and all that other stuff, but it's really a big stupid thing.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, no, I, I think, I think at the end of the day, all of these art forms, you have to create a type of meaning, purpose to them. So I do understand how you can find yourself sort of fully detached. But no, that's not, that's never been my goal.

Unknown
Would you? I would. Okay. And this is maybe very racist of me.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Unknown
I do think it's hilarious when black people do whiteface.
Langston Kerman
I'll be, I'll be completely honest with you at this point. I think blackface is really funny. They do it and I be cracking up.
Unknown
I mean it is like it's so stupid that it's not. I do wonder sometimes if I see blackface. I feel like I'm triggered as a black person before I am as a comic. So I immediately have my guard up for it. But like, I mean it is like it is cause it's crazy. It's like outlandish.
Langston Kerman
And let me be Clear. I'm not saying I'm cracking up, because I genuinely think the. The way they imagined a joke is funny. It is not a funny joke. Nothing about it is comical to me, their perspective on it. But the literal insanity in 2025, to paint yourself in blackface, it's fundamentally so funny. And so the fact that you did that means that every other part of your life is also crazy. And that's really funny. And I like those kinds of characters, no matter how you spin it. That's a funny motherfucker.
Unknown
It's why Trump is funny.
Langston Kerman
Yes. Even not what he's doing to people.
Unknown
Yeah. It's not at all. Not at all. But I watched that speech. Pretty funny, man.
Langston Kerman
It was very funny. The motherfucker stopped in the middle of the speech to be like, y'all ain't gonna clap for that. Y'all. You want another five years?
Unknown
He. He had them Republic. I thought one of them Republican congressmen was going to pass out. That must have been. That's, like, for real, like, 25 standing ovations, bro.
Langston Kerman
Cooking, but cooking for half the room. And, like, truly being like, I don't give a fuck, dawg. It don't make a difference to me if y'all don't stand.
Unknown
Nope. Shout out to my mom, Al Green, for doing something.
Langston Kerman
But Al Green tried something. That lady holding the little sign, this is not normal. That was. She tried something, but I don't. They don't affect them, man. And that's what. I don't know.
Unknown
That's what I was yelling about in the house last night. I was like, yo, that shit. He knows how to play to his fan base better than they do to theirs. Cause his fan base, even. I watched the shit and I was like, damn, Damn, lost. I just think they had paddles with signs on them or paddles with little words on them that no cameraman was looking at.
Langston Kerman
They didn't show it. And then also, you're just setting that up for a meme now. It's going to be a bunch of paddles with little pee pees on them. Because y'all did. Because y'all did that. You know what I mean? Like, all of it. They don't even understand what the game is anymore. Like, they're.
Unknown
They're still spun out.
Langston Kerman
They're still trying to function under some, like, false propriety that they never even really believed in, but they maintain to keep us in order to make it feel like they were elevated above us and there was, like, a level of dignity to these jobs. These are fucking regular schmegler ass jobs filled with regular schmegler ass people. In the same way that people behave in the Amazon warehouses where they are sometimes very reasonable, intelligent, capable individuals and sometimes ragamuffins who want to beat off in their office. It's the same energy and they're pretending like they're not.
Unknown
I'd argue it's worse. I think the will to want to be a polit, like whatever drives you to want to be a politician and actually enact that is like kind of. It's worse people.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, probably. I agree with you.
Unknown
I think it's worse people. So it's like, yeah, they wanted to be above us, but it's like, oh, you guys are. I've been watching so much politics lately. It's not good, but like, it does feel good to be like, no, my instincts were right about this. This is stupid. You were all compromised bad people.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Unknown
And a few of you were good. Probably are. Okay.
Langston Kerman
I, I don't even know if good is right. I, I think that they're probably also compromised individuals. They're just compromised individuals who like have a little bit more of like a line, you know what I mean?
Unknown
Right.
Langston Kerman
And it's not even a line that they won't cross. It's a line that they, they then feel like they have to be vocal about. You know what I mean? Like, it's not like any, none of the senators that are experiencing this are quitting their jobs, you know what I mean? Like, none of them are going, our system is broken. There is no saving us from this. They told us that every week. They tell us this is a constitutional threat, that this is like truly the breakdown of our entire democracy. And not one of them has like run up there to like stick them in the jaw.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, no, they just kind of. Well, I think it's ultimately too right. Like, it's like, I think the problem with wealthy liberalism a lot of times becomes like, you know, I'm still rich. Like at the end of the day I fight for this shit and whatever, but like, you know, I'll be all right.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, well, I'll be okay. I'm going to sleep just fine. Nothing's going to change in my life.
Unknown
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Nah, it's fucking nuts, man. That's why they don't want to quit. You know what I mean? Nancy Pelosi's what, 80, 89 years old or some shit?
Unknown
Come on, take them big ass titties home.
Langston Kerman
Big old titties aged. They aged all the Way to perfection. And then they saw the other side of what wine can be. You know what I mean? Like, now they've. Cause there is a point where wine. It ain't forever wine. The older it gets, the better it is. I think after a certain point, it just becomes pure, like fucking liquor.
Unknown
Yeah, Vinegar. It turns into vinegar, right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah. So them vinegar titties at this point. But no, she won't go home. Cause she don't give a fuck.
Unknown
Nah, I get it. It's just very disheartening.
Langston Kerman
No, it's hugely disheartening.
Unknown
All that to be said. Morality. Humor is not based in morality. That's why Trump is funny. I can think Trump is funny and think that he's ruining our country and that we are clearly maybe already inside an oligarchy. But, like. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And I'm grateful if we are, in fact, in the oligarchy that everyone is afraid of. I'm grateful that we have a funny king right now. I'm not happy with having a king. I wish that the king never existed. I wish that we hadn't created this system of vulture behavior that would allow for a person like him to even come to power and vulture specifically on the backs of people who are easily sort of targeted as victims, Mainly minorities, queer people. Like, I think that there's poor people, frankly, is maybe even the biggest target of them all. But y'all ain't niggas. Ain't really ready to have that conversation. It's truly just a poverty conversation. But at the end of the day, it sucks that it exists. I hate that we have a king. But God damn, is he a funny king.
Unknown
Yeah. At least he's charismatic.
Langston Kerman
In other words, it's nice.
Unknown
Anyways, can't wait for them tariffs, baby.
Langston Kerman
Tariffs sound tight. I was just in Vancouver. I asked people, I asked an audience, were y'all scared of the tariffs, thinking I'm being silly. And they were like, yes, yes. It scares us. It continues to scare us. Move on.
Unknown
Yeah. No, I mean, they're right. Y'all lumber and cars and all the other shit we get from over there. Listen, man, I don't want to talk about that.
Langston Kerman
But the man said, we got a dog, and if we don't take.
Unknown
It's hard to figure out. It's a hard, difficult time to navigate right now is all.
Langston Kerman
No, I don't think we need to talk about it. I think this. I think this covers this. I think we did.
Unknown
I think we did what he wanted.
Langston Kerman
I think we did what you asked for, sir. And we pray that you. We pray that we are not the last stop in whatever you need to find to find peace. Because if we are, there's going to be some weeks off and we gonna need you to listen to a few reruns every once in a while.
Unknown
Yeah, man, it's just gonna happen. Everybody gets sick. It's just gonna happen. And I'm sorry because I heard how. I don't know. Kerfuffled. I don't know what you were. I don't know what you were.
Langston Kerman
Nobody described that feeling as kerfuffled. That feeling was darker than kerfuffled.
Unknown
My man was vexed. Is that one.
Langston Kerman
He was hot.
Unknown
Oh, man. Oh, man. Well, hey, we got this one for you and you get to hear yourself on the podcast. So that probably feel pretty good.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's probably dope.
Unknown
You know, and if you want to buy anything that we've ever made or, you know, you could do that if we just. I mean, like, if we. If we have a rerun, just buy a T shirt, my man.
Langston Kerman
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You could put on some of our nice merch and you could pretend to be me or David in the mirror. Yeah, I'm light skinned, I suck, or whatever the fuck. I want to list out all the rules of the pod sometimes, and that's boring. Yeah, whatever you think of us.
Unknown
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
