Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Death of Authentic Reality TV

• Early Reality TV (“This Is Your Life”) and Its Decline

  • Langston recalls how “This Is Your Life” went from wholesome to contrived, with producers raising the stakes for drama.
  • Langston (02:59):

    “They started to go for a more traumatic story every time... it’s now ‘we need a plumber with one leg and one eye who’s beat all the odds’... People started to feel this got... cheesy in a contrived way.”

• Producers Ruining the Innocence of Reality Shows

  • David and Kev joke about how executives wanted ever more outrageous content, leading to the genre’s downfall.
  • David (04:07):

    “Can we pinpoint the executive who set us on this trajectory?... It was one dude being like, ‘I think we should do something nasty.’”

How “Love” Reality Shows Became Toxic

• Kev on “Married at First Sight”

  • Kev shares his love for early seasons focused on authentic love, but laments how later seasons seem rigged for drama rather than real relationships.
  • Kev (04:46):

    “Married at First Sight was like... about love, man. And then at some point, it was like, I don’t think they want these people to fall in love anymore, bro.”

  • Langston (05:20):

    “They’re making some of the most toxic relationships out there.”

• Loss of Trust

  • Both Langston and Kev agree they've lost trust in supposed "experts" and the genuineness of these shows.
  • Kev (05:39):

    “Pastor Calvin, we weren’t trusting the experts anymore. You’re not trusting the show.”

The Early “Real World” vs. Modern Reality TV

• Work, Ordinary Life, and 90s Nostalgia
  • David and Kev reminisce about how early “Real World” seasons focused on mundane reality, even showing cast members going to work.
  • Group fondly remembers a viral “be my baby tonight” moment as a cultural artifact.
  • David (06:40):

    “I saw that, and I knew. I was like, this means something. I didn’t know what, but... I saw something big for sure.”

The Hall of Infamous Reality TV Shows

• “Black. White.” (2006, FX)

  • Langston introduces the jaw-dropping show where Black and white families swapped races using makeup.
  • Kev is floored, having never heard of it, while David confirms the insanity.
  • Langston (09:02):

    “Ice Cube produces a show for FX where... a real white family and a real black family... forced them for a month... to do blackface and whiteface. A full swap.”

  • The panel critiques the show's clumsy execution and problematic premise, with Langston noting the show privileged white participants’ “black” experience.
  • Langston (11:02):

    “The white people are now somehow asserting dominance over the white people... pretending my black experience is more valuable... Because I’m experiencing it so sincerely.”

• “The Swan” (2004, FOX)

  • A reality competition to turn “ugly” women into beauties via extensive plastic surgery—another wild idea from 2000s TV.
  • Langston (13:01):

    “Fox reality show... where they took women who wanted something fixed in their body... and then getting them all the plastic surgeries to turn them into baddies.”

  • The hosts reflect on the low standards and questionable messages of that era.

• “Sperm Race” (2005, Germany)

  • Langston describes a German show where men’s sperm literally raced to fertilize an egg, with the group incredulous over its concept.
  • David (17:00):

    “What do you get if you win?”

  • Kev (17:01):

    “Fatherhood.”

  • Laughter ensues at the idea of such a dubious “prize.”

• “Worst Driver” (2002)

  • Contestants compete to avoid being named the worst driver, leading the hosts to reflect on their own (lack of) driving skills.

• “The Interception” (1997, Russia)

  • Contestants are given a free car, but must evade the police for 35 minutes to keep it—true post-Soviet TV chaos.
  • Langston (19:13):

    “The show is one of the most dangerous things ever put on television... offered players a free car... so long as they could evade the police for 35 minutes.”

Listener Voicemail: Club Dress Codes as Racial Gatekeeping (24:43)

• Conspiracy Theory: Business casual at the club was invented by white people to keep Black people out.
• The hosts and Kev agree this is basically true, noting how dress codes acted as proxies for outright racial exclusion.
• Kev (25:13):

  “There’s no legal way to be like, ‘no Blacks.’”

• Langston (25:50):

  “The nasty brainwashing they did that had me in a club with a fucking bow tie on. Do you know what I mean?”

Personal Stories & Vulnerability

• Sharing stories about learning to tie bow ties for club entry, feeling manipulated by arbitrary dress codes, and the humiliation of buying a whole set of bowties.
• A group digression into Chevy Lumina nostalgia, with everyone surprised they all had (or knew people who had) the same car.

Industry Insights: The NFL and Corporate Power (32:25+)

• Kev’s Personal Integrity Test:
  • Kev shares turning down a massive brand deal from the NFL in the wake of the Colin Kaepernick controversy, choosing integrity over a life-changing paycheck.
  • Kev (34:09):

    “...they offered me an amount of money I’ve never seen before or since. And I was just like, this is the moment. I either sell out or I don’t. And I didn’t sell out... but my soul was not for sale.”

  • The panel praises Kev’s decision and explores the lesson: if you can’t stand up once, “there’s no telling what I’ll do.”
  • Kev (35:09):

    “Once you accept this. My thing was, if I do this, then what won’t I do?”

• On “Black. White.” (09:02, Langston Kerman):

The government growing babies microchips in your anus.

[David Bore]

All koala bears are racist. The ozone layer owes me money. Marshy to vet and turkey stuff.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Y' all can't tell me nothing.

[Langston Kerman]

I discovered that one of the things that sort of turned this is your Life from sort of like this beloved program into sort of a much more. Like, people started to doubt it and not like it as much was because they started changing the programming a little bit, right? So they started to go for a more like. Like, traumatic story every time.

[David Bore]

Oh, they were raising the stakes.

[Langston Kerman]

They raised the stakes.

[David Bore]

So that's what television people can't help but do.

[Langston Kerman]

It wasn't just a plumber. It's now we need a plumber with one leg and one eye who's beat all the odds kind of thing. And so people started to feel like this got overly sort of, like, sympathetic and sort of, like, cheesy in a contrived way that made them not like the show anymore. And that is where the shift from true reality television and our version of reality television starts to take shape.

[David Bore]

Can we. I don't know if you have. I don't know how research works. Can we pinpoint the executive.

[Kevon J Stain]

Who set.

[David Bore]

Us on this trajectory? Because it was one guy.

[Kevon J Stain]

They jumped the shark.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. It was one dude being like, I think we should do something nasty because.

[David Bore]

We'Ve all gotten network notes. And it was like, hey, take his leg off.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

And then that's how. And then he kept pushing. Yeah, Dominic, I don't want to do. We found a good guy.

[Langston Kerman]

And they're like, nah, nah, I don't like that guy. But his friend. I noticed his friend in the wheelchair. Bring him to the front.

[David Bore]

That's the. That's like, bro, that's patient zero for all the problems, for sure.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

That's like.

[Kevon J Stain]

Cause it's like, even reality shows that start off wholesome, they always devolve.

[David Bore]

They turn, man.

[Kevon J Stain]

Like, married at first sight was like, they really were about love, man.

[Langston Kerman]

Are you a true watcher?

[Kevon J Stain]

I watched many seasons in the Pandemic, and then at some point, it was like, I don't think they want these people to fall in love anymore, bro.

[Langston Kerman]

Around season, like, 15, 16, they were like, yeah.

[David Bore]

I never fuck with it.

[Kevon J Stain]

We started a podcast because it was so popular during the Pandemic.

[Langston Kerman]

It's like, it's my. I love it. Well, I loved it when it felt.

[Kevon J Stain]

Since it felt like these people really wanted to. Now it feels like they just want to be reality stars.

[Langston Kerman]

They're making some of the most toxic relationships out there.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, my God.

[Langston Kerman]

And, like, truly being like, we don't know why y' all didn't work it's like, Pastor Calvin, I want to believe in you.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Brother, Brother, the respect I hold for you is vast and strong. But you. You making it hard for me.

[Kevon J Stain]

Pastor Calvin, we weren't trusting the experts anymore. You're not trusting the show. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

No. I couldn't agree with you more. It made a nasty turn.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yes. It's produced, it's over.

[Langston Kerman]

It's.

[Kevon J Stain]

This is your life. It's the same thing. A producer was like. But, like, I know this is about love, but this would be better for tv.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

And once that happens, then you're out of it.

[David Bore]

Right.

[Kevon J Stain]

And once you're out of it, then the whole thing falls apart and TV becomes like.

[David Bore]

To me, the idea of this will be better for tv. It becomes like this amorphous thing where it's just like. And TV has no morals.

[Langston Kerman]

Right.

[David Bore]

We don't have any rules. If it's just for tv, we don't have to. We're not dealing with people anymore.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah. Remember the beginning of Real World?

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

They went to work.

[David Bore]

Yes.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

They had, like, a lot of that.

[Kevon J Stain]

Show was them going to and coming from work.

[David Bore]

I remember New Orleans. Remember Skibidi bow, bow, bow yeah.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Come.

[Kevon J Stain]

On, be my baby tonight yeah I haven't seen the way you treated other thugs you've been with.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Come on, baby, baby, tonight Yo, I.

[David Bore]

Saw that, and I knew. I was like, this means something. I didn't know what, but I was like, this isn't. This doesn't. I saw something big for sure.

[Kevon J Stain]

That was huge.

[Langston Kerman]

We never seen a man like that again.

[Kevon J Stain]

No.

[Langston Kerman]

We really made him extinct, man. Do you know what I mean? We saw that and we were like, we don't care for this.

[David Bore]

No.

[Kevon J Stain]

We get him out of here, and.

[David Bore]

It'S the one thing every. What else happened that season?

[Kevon J Stain]

3Apple 3Apple 3, is it? That's gonna be my baby tonight he.

[Langston Kerman]

Should be so permanent in our lives. And we were like, we can't allow this.

[David Bore]

That should have started a career.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

The.

[David Bore]

The reach that. You don't get to reach that many people and not get rich, man. Sure. Like, I think they took him out. I think they took out Diabodui.

[Langston Kerman]

You think this was bigger than him?

[David Bore]

It was bigger than Diabodu.

[Kevon J Stain]

National security.

[David Bore]

Come on, man.

[Kevon J Stain]

Get President Bud on the line. What are we gonna do with this guy? And Bud, just like you mean it. President Bud. Hey, man, he doesn't have a possible thumb, but you got the point.

[Langston Kerman]

He's like, I'm hearing sounds in this.

[David Bore]

Y' all can't hear. You don't need thumbs to push the button, you know what I mean?

[Langston Kerman]

You ain't picking up what I'm picking up right now. Kill this nigga. Hey, fire nigga. This nigga.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Oh, my God.

[Langston Kerman]

With that, I collected a list of other reality shows that I'd love for us to remember together. Some of which I don't know that we'll remember. In fact, I'm almost certain many of them we won't remember. And I'm excited to share with you the news of what those shows are. Okay, do we remember from 2006? Black, white. Do you guys remember the reality show Black?

[David Bore]

It was on fx.

[Langston Kerman]

It was whiteface, blackface, white face, blackface.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

Cause I remember being like this around breaking.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

What? It was what? 2006?

[Langston Kerman]

Brother, wake up.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

It's crazy.

[Langston Kerman]

Brother, you gonna want to wake up on this one. The year is 2006. Ice Cube can do whatever he wants.

[David Bore]

I work at Conoco.

[Langston Kerman]

Ice Cube can do no wrong. He is the most powerful man in television. And Ice Cube produces a show for FX where they take a real white family and a real black family and then forced them for a month, I believe, to do blackface and whiteface. A full swap.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, my head's gonna explode. Yeah. Literally don't know. Know this at all.

[Langston Kerman]

It was a very real show that.

[Kevon J Stain]

So the Drewski sketch is a TV show, but it was not the quality.

[David Bore]

Of the Drewski sketch.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, the makeup wasn't?

[Langston Kerman]

No.

[David Bore]

Do you got pictures?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, I'm about to pull it up for you.

[David Bore]

Yeah, it was a crazy time.

[Kevon J Stain]

It was like, this is going to be the Hannibal Burris moment for Ice Cube. People knocking it out.

[David Bore]

I feel like they dropped Nip tuck so we would forget about that. They were like, whoa.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, okay. This is the quality. I'm sorry. Our technology is fine.

[Kevon J Stain]

No, this is fine.

[Langston Kerman]

We'll play the picture over it so that it's not ridiculous looking on camera, man.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

What?

[David Bore]

Yeah. This is unbelievable.

[Kevon J Stain]

Like this. You saw this with your eyes. You watched it on tv.

[David Bore]

I didn't want to watch the whole thing, but I remember because I remember seeing the rollout and being like, no way.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

Yeah, man.

[Langston Kerman]

Full black face, full white face.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

What?

[Langston Kerman]

Truly in every day, they look crazy. This is a terrible job unpacking how they feel about, like, their racial experience that day. And what is most fascinating about it for me is that the blackface technology was stronger than the white face technology.

[David Bore]

Well, I think that's why Jerusky, what he did is so huge. I Think it always has been.

[Langston Kerman]

And that. And that's what makes it so. Well, no, that's what. Yeah. Blackface has always existed.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

And so it becomes this weird thing where the black. The white people are somehow now asserting dominance over the white people. Black. White people in the show.

[Kevon J Stain]

Right.

[Langston Kerman]

Does that make sense? They're, like, somehow pretending like my black experience is more valuable in the.

[Kevon J Stain]

In the blackface makeup.

[Langston Kerman]

In the blackface makeup. Because I'm experiencing it so sincerely.

[David Bore]

Come on, dawg. That's what they do, baby.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

As I'm like, part for the course.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

They said, I've been over here a week.

[David Bore]

I tell you what's going on.

[Langston Kerman]

They're like, nah, I get it now.

[Kevon J Stain]

Listen here, Jamal.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

Hey, guess what? I still want you to pull up your pants.

[Langston Kerman]

Hey, bud.

[Kevon J Stain]

Been you.

[Langston Kerman]

And let me tell you, it's nothing special.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Oh, my God.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

That shit was crazy. That was a crazy movie.

[Langston Kerman]

Wild show. Okay.

[David Bore]

I'd watch it again.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, my. I'm going home to see if there's.

[David Bore]

Is it available online?

[Langston Kerman]

I bet they've wiped it clean off.

[Kevon J Stain]

There's no way there's video.

[Langston Kerman]

I bet they burned that to the ground.

[Kevon J Stain]

I'd buy it.

[David Bore]

I'd buy the full series.

[Kevon J Stain]

Black face, Black White.

[Langston Kerman]

Kevin, be reasonable.

[Kevon J Stain]

Sorry.

[Langston Kerman]

You think it was called Blackface Wax Tube? Oh, is it?

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Yes.

[Langston Kerman]

Oh, that's beautiful.

[David Bore]

Well, I was supposed to make pork chops.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

This is the guy.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, that's him. That's him. 100%.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

This is crazy.

[Kevon J Stain]

This is gonna consume me. I want you guys to know it's gonna have to. My week is over.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm really.

[Kevon J Stain]

My children won't be getting picked up on time. Dad, I'm at school.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I'm watching Black White, Black White is on. This is crazy enough.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't ask for much from my family. Just hush.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Put my Black White is on episodes.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

Langston.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, it was.

[Kevon J Stain]

Do you know what you've done?

[Langston Kerman]

It was really important to me, man. That was huge for me.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, my God.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay, the next one that I'm gonna run past you guys. The Swan. Do we remember the swan?

[David Bore]

Oh, busted. Fine. But surgery.

[Langston Kerman]

Yes.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

No. So the Swan. Fox reality show of 2004, where they took women who wanted something fixed in their body and face. But more importantly, were targeting busted ass ladies, specifically, like, truly ugly women. And then getting them all the plastic surgeries to turn them into baddies.

[David Bore]

06 plastic or 04 plastic surgery? 04, which was not the BBL technology we have today.

[Langston Kerman]

Nah, that looked like Michael. Every time.

[David Bore]

Is your life better?

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, my God. Never heard of this one either.

[Langston Kerman]

This one is.

[Kevon J Stain]

What was I doing?

[Langston Kerman]

I don't know, man. You're missing out.

[David Bore]

Probably something reasonable.

[Kevon J Stain]

Cause you guys were not missing a thing.

[David Bore]

I was in high school, though.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[David Bore]

I didn't have any other responsibilities.

[Langston Kerman]

I had keys to the house before other people got home, man. You know what I mean?

[David Bore]

My mom knew the shit that was on that tv.

[Kevon J Stain]

That's how we raised. They raised us. They were like, man, I don't know what you want me to do.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

Literally was like most of our.

[Langston Kerman]

Parents, I get off at 6.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah, literally, like, no after school care.

[David Bore]

It was like. It was like, don't cook.

[Kevon J Stain]

Don't cook. Don't turn on the microwave. Don't answer the door.

[David Bore]

Yeah, don't answer. Which is. Feels kind of dangerous because I feel like if you're knocking on the door, there was more of a chance it was someone to help the someone to hurt. Like, criminals don't go like, little boy, little boy.

[Kevon J Stain]

I mean, they do it. They don't do it in a sing song before.

[David Bore]

Right, right, right, right.

[Langston Kerman]

[Kevon J Stain]

Little boy, little boy, little boy.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Hey, hey, little boy. I know you hear me. Little boy.

[Kevon J Stain]

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Craziest thing I've ever been a part of.

[David Bore]

You gotta be honest, Got away from me.

[Kevon J Stain]

It's okay. It was you making sure he knew it was okay.

[David Bore]

No, that's my man. That's my guy.

[Langston Kerman]

I think he does great. Okay. I got some ones that I know neither one of you will know. Okay. Sperm race 2005.

[Kevon J Stain]

You made this up. This is fake.

[Langston Kerman]

I swear to God. This is a real show in 2005, there's like some weird fucking show reality show where they are racing sperm, like.

[David Bore]

The like actual nut.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. Nut. Into an egg, man.

[David Bore]

Nut.

[Langston Kerman]

To see. Yeah, to see.

[David Bore]

Into a woman egg.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, that's right. But it wasn't you racing against another man.

[Kevon J Stain]

It was which sperm is gonna win?

[Langston Kerman]

I think it was them betting on sperm.

[Kevon J Stain]

How do you even bet?

[Langston Kerman]

I don.

[David Bore]

How can you. I would rather.

[Langston Kerman]

Or maybe it had to have been different dudes. Maybe it was just seeing who was the most vulnerable man.

[David Bore]

I would rather race another man's nut.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay.

[David Bore]

My nut Versus your nut.

[Langston Kerman]

Nut. Nut. No.

[Kevon J Stain]

You think you're faster than me?

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Okay.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

You're faster than me in feet.

[Langston Kerman]

Sure.

[David Bore]

Okay, that's great. That's great. Outside.

[Langston Kerman]

Yep.

[David Bore]

Let's see what you got when it counts.

[Langston Kerman]

Guess what? I run barefoot.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

That'S really. When I pick up speed, I take them shoes off. Now. Now you know what I do?

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, snap.

[Langston Kerman]

Sperm race.

[Kevon J Stain]

That's crazy.

[David Bore]

What country?

[Langston Kerman]

Germany is where the pilot centers around a SM donation clinic. Several men donate to this clinic, and then their sperm compete in a challenge to see which one can fertilize an egg the fastest.

[David Bore]

What do you get if you win?

[Kevon J Stain]

Fatherhood.

[David Bore]

Gift is a loose term. Prize.

[Langston Kerman]

I got kids, so I wasn't gonna, like, jump down his neck about it, but I did think, well, that's not a prize. I'm proud of it. I'm very happy.

[David Bore]

I'd rather have ten pounds of bratwurst.

[Langston Kerman]

Whatever goofy German shit I like. Okay, here's another one that I know for a fact you all will not know. There was something in 2002 called worst driver. Worst Driver was a show that was a competition about who was the worst driver, where, like, it was a bunch of bad drivers competing to not be the worst driver or some shit.

[Kevon J Stain]

That's interesting.

[David Bore]

I would watch that.

[Kevon J Stain]

I would watch that, too. I'm a terrible driver, so I would. I would actually want to be on this.

[David Bore]

Man, I haven't driven for a long time, and I got to get back, and I'm nervous because I drive like old lady. I drive really slow. It was always a problem when I was driving.

[Langston Kerman]

Why?

[David Bore]

It's dangerous, man.

[Kevon J Stain]

All right.

[David Bore]

That's a big, huge car. I had a big old metal car. Anything could happen.

[Langston Kerman]

That's very fair.

[David Bore]

They say if they lowered the speed limit by, like, 20 miles an hour, there would be not nearly as many fatalities on the road.

[Kevon J Stain]

Really? Or we don't want to go for.

[David Bore]

It, or we won't do it.

[Kevon J Stain]

We got to get somewhere.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't think you can make the speed limit go backwards.

[David Bore]

No, no.

[Kevon J Stain]

You can go faster, but you can't go slower.

[Langston Kerman]

I think once you introduce the premise that these cars can go faster, you have to at least kind of appease.

[Kevon J Stain]

The buyer because it was, like, 45 on the freeway. That's just infuriating.

[Langston Kerman]

Why would I buy a Porsche?

[Kevon J Stain]

There's no reason.

[Langston Kerman]

So I'm cutting off an entire industry of luxury vehicles.

[Kevon J Stain]

Absolutely.

[David Bore]

I'm not saying they're going to do it. I'm just saying the speeds is what kills?

[Kevon J Stain]

No, no, we're just arguing with you on a point you didn't make.

[Langston Kerman]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I'm a man.

[Langston Kerman]

You're dead wrong.

[Kevon J Stain]

I pay my taxes.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I support my family, foreign and domestic.

[David Bore]

What's the next show?

[Langston Kerman]

This is my favorite. And this will be the last one before we take this last break. The interception of 1997. The interception. I'm not even going to bother making y' all guess what this is, but this show is one of the most dangerous things ever put on television. It was a Russian reality show from the 90s that offered players a free car right in the beginning of the game, so long as they could evade the police for 35 straight minutes on.

[David Bore]

The autobahn or like through a town.

[Langston Kerman]

In just wherever the car is.

[Kevon J Stain]

So they just drop you and then.

[Langston Kerman]

Man, you just walk in, they go, you got a car? And then you gotta go.

[David Bore]

It's really lawless over there.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

What's going on?

[David Bore]

I mean, you know, it was a mid-90s Russia how long after the wall fell asleep? It was like the wild, wild west for reality tv, man.

[Langston Kerman]

They're like, chase them, see what happens.

[Kevon J Stain]

It's crazy.

[Langston Kerman]

It's really cool.

[Kevon J Stain]

It was a football show.

[David Bore]

That's what I was thinking. I was trying to think like, how could that be nuts?

[Kevon J Stain]

That was way off.

[Langston Kerman]

A police interception.

[David Bore]

Wow, man.

[Kevon J Stain]

I misread that terribly.

[Langston Kerman]

You never stood a chance.

[David Bore]

No, that was never gonna happen.

[Langston Kerman]

All right, we should take one more break.

[David Bore]

Yeah, let's take one more.

[Langston Kerman]

We'll take. Take one more break. We'll be back. What my mama told me.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

It builds upon itself.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

That's really the problem.

[David Bore]

You should be here when there's no not you. And it's just echoing. Oh, man, it's fucked up.

[Langston Kerman]

It's honestly a toxic work environment.

[David Bore]

Yeah. We're gonna get rich and then we're gonna kill each other for sure.

[Kevon J Stain]

You guys are gonna be hauling oats. No.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. We're not gonna speak.

[Kevon J Stain]

That's pretty good, though.

[David Bore]

That's pretty good.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah, but I mean, the music will be there.

[David Bore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

We always got the music.

[Kevon J Stain]

We always got the music.

[Langston Kerman]

And that's why we ain't never got a tour together again.

[Kevon J Stain]

For sure. You can go listen to what we created.

[David Bore]

Exactly.

[Kevon J Stain]

Bro.

[Langston Kerman]

You think I'm. You think I'm gonna do it better, right? Yeah, no, you got it.

[David Bore]

No, no, no. We reached high heights and. All right.

[Langston Kerman]

We're gonna do a voicemail. We're gonna listen to one of these.

[David Bore]

They're usually drunk. Okay. Our fans.

[Langston Kerman]

Oh, this is an exciting one. I'm excited to hear this. Okay, here we go.

[Caller or Listener]

Okay. So I'm a new lil moms, and I have a conspiracy for y' all today.

[Langston Kerman]

Okay. Here we go.

[Caller or Listener]

I truly believe that business casual at the club was invented by white people.

[David Bore]

Yeah. I think. Yes.

[Kevon J Stain]

This is 100% true.

[David Bore]

Yeah. I don't think this is a crazy.

[Caller or Listener]

To keep us out the club. So we have to dress professional to get in the club.

[Kevon J Stain]

This is almost verifiable. This is almost verifiable.

[David Bore]

Yeah, That's.

[Kevon J Stain]

There's no legal way to be. Like, no blacks.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[David Bore]

You know, just like.

[Kevon J Stain]

Bet you don't have a tie.

[David Bore]

No jerseys. No jerseys. Big ass jerseys.

[Kevon J Stain]

We had to choose between, like, fashion or.

[David Bore]

And you're like, sir, my hat is a pinwheel, bro. Clearly, I deserve that.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

They're not gonna know what to do.

[Kevon J Stain]

We've been forced to wear a shirt and tie and throwback jerseys are in.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

They're gonna just. Their head's gonna explode, and they're not gonna come inside.

[David Bore]

I was outside like. But I put this G unit tank top on layaway.

[Langston Kerman]

The nasty brainwashing they did that had me in a club with a fucking bow tie on. Do you know what I mean? Like, I used to. I was. I became a bow tie dude for a second.

[David Bore]

Yeah, man. How many did you have?

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Multiple bow ties, bro.

[Langston Kerman]

I had a few.

[David Bore]

You had more bow ties than you had jerseys.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, yeah.

[David Bore]

At that point.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

Damn.

[Langston Kerman]

By that era. Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

Cause a jersey's not gonna. There's no function.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

It's not gonna exclude you from anything.

[Langston Kerman]

It wasn't helping me do what I needed to do. I needed to be around where them women's was at, and I needed to have whatever was getting to get me in there. So I. The sharpest one I can find. And that's so stupid.

[Kevon J Stain]

Were you. Were you hand tying the bow ties at one point? You were serious about it?

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I was sick.

[David Bore]

N Light skin king. For real.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I was sick.

[David Bore]

Respected.

[Kevon J Stain]

You're like, you didn't even have to do that.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

No.

[Kevon J Stain]

Nobody's checking the tie.

[David Bore]

You could Clip it on.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I was so afraid they would.

[Kevon J Stain]

You learned them tie both. No. YouTube, man.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Yeah, you were.

[Langston Kerman]

I was joking.

[Kevon J Stain]

You did right on YouTube.

[Langston Kerman]

I think I learned early YouTube.

[Kevon J Stain]

Okay, good.

[Langston Kerman]

Like, I think it was, like, one of those early tutorials that were, like, innocuous enough that they could just be attractive to anybody, because now there's tutorials on, like, how to cut open this specific flavor of Laura Can.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

And it's like. That is so specific. It was when it was just everywhere.

[David Bore]

What? You're going out? Mm. It's 2008. Nine.

[Langston Kerman]

2009 sounds.

[David Bore]

You're going out. It's 2009. You're tying your bow tie.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't like the way you said it. It felt nasty.

[David Bore]

I'm not. I didn't even get to my question.

[Langston Kerman]

Look how he laughed.

[David Bore]

Listen, I didn't even look how he laughed. I can't answer.

[Langston Kerman]

You make me feel small in front of my friend.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I didn't make you smile. I want to know.

[David Bore]

I just kept asking, you did this.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

While you did it.

[David Bore]

That was me not knowing how. Both times were you.

[Kevon J Stain]

You did something.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I don't understand the technology. I don't understand the technology.

[David Bore]

It's 2008.

[Langston Kerman]

Hands to yourself. Hands to yourself.

[David Bore]

It's 2008.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

You're dying.

[David Bore]

You're bow tie. I just want to know what song it's playing.

[Langston Kerman]

All right, man. That's. I think that's all we needed to do.

[David Bore]

Cole, come on, man.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Come on.

[Langston Kerman]

I think that's all we needed.

[David Bore]

Don't be like that. Just tell me what song was playing.

[Langston Kerman]

I just thought we was brothers, bro.

[David Bore]

Come on. All right.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I would tell you what song. I wouldn't even go to the car. I ain't no hoes in the way, bro. You want to know what I was doing? I was smoking mid.

[David Bore]

In my Chevy Lumina.

[Kevon J Stain]

With a Chevy Lumina.

[David Bore]

All right. Boy, It's a good car.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I never met anybody else who had that one.

[David Bore]

What color?

[Langston Kerman]

My stepdad had a Chevy Luma.

[Kevon J Stain]

It was, like, light blue like yours.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

No way.

[Kevon J Stain]

Absolutely.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Mine was light blue. I swear to God. I swear to God. You would have never heard anybody else. They had that car.

[Langston Kerman]

We had a white Chevy Lumina.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

You too.

[David Bore]

That's a good car.

[Kevon J Stain]

Chevy was. Chevy had an impact on us.

[David Bore]

It was so good. It was so good.

[Kevon J Stain]

Wow.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah. I have bad memories from it, but, yeah, it was.

[David Bore]

I was smoking. Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

I don't have warm memories of a Chevy Lumina at all.

[Kevon J Stain]

Okay.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm sorry, but it was a Big car.

[David Bore]

Well, now this feels like I don't want to even finish the bid anymore.

[Kevon J Stain]

I feel like a cigarette with cigarette was burning.

[David Bore]

Yeah. This shit sucks. I'm sorry.

[Kevon J Stain]

Washed aluminum. When you're done.

[David Bore]

Go get.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Go get my cigarettes out of the Lumina.

[Kevon J Stain]

Take him to a bad place.

[Langston Kerman]

The Lumina stopped up the block. Push it. Go outside and push it.

[Kevon J Stain]

Chevy's bringing back the Illumina and Lexus just like.

[David Bore]

No.

[Langston Kerman]

I'm just watching a Super bowl commercial.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Like, no. Dad, are you okay?

[Langston Kerman]

No, I'm not okay.

[David Bore]

I'm sorry for what happened to you. It was a good ass car. You don't need to tell me that.

[Kevon J Stain]

The bench seat one, I think I had a newer model.

[David Bore]

Mine had a. Mine was like. I think it was a 92, I believe. Flat bench seat in the front though. Big old back seat. It's such a good car.

[Kevon J Stain]

Got me a lot of places.

[David Bore]

Yeah, me too.

[Langston Kerman]

This is the car I learned to drive on.

[David Bore]

Really?

[Langston Kerman]

Yes.

[David Bore]

I bet there's a terrible story back there.

[Kevon J Stain]

My own money.

[David Bore]

That's me.

[Langston Kerman]

You bought a Chevy?

[Kevon J Stain]

I bought it for $1,500. Oh, yeah.

[David Bore]

I bought it like.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah. From my car parking lot.

[Langston Kerman]

That makes sense. The price makes absolute sense.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yes.

[Langston Kerman]

By the time you get to your age to buy a Chevy loom.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

It's 1500 bucks.

[Langston Kerman]

It should not exceed $2,000.

[David Bore]

I bought mine from my best friend's mom's boyfriend. Oh. Shout out to Marty. Man, you know I did was not good for it.

[Kevon J Stain]

Yeah. You know that.

[David Bore]

To be honest, I just got that job at Sam's Club and I was living at David's.

[Langston Kerman]

Wait.

[Kevon J Stain]

Let you make payments? Payments?

[David Bore]

Oh, payment. Listen, man, I didn't pay for that car, Kev. Is that what you wanted to know?

[Kevon J Stain]

I don't know what happened.

[David Bore]

I didn't end up paying for all of it.

[Kevon J Stain]

Okay.

[David Bore]

And then it died. And then I. Man. And then I left it in the Papa Murphy's taking bake parking lot.

[Langston Kerman]

Wow.

[Kevon J Stain]

You just abandoned aluminum.

[David Bore]

I was.

[Kevon J Stain]

You didn't take it to a fireman.

[David Bore]

I didn't know how to.

[Kevon J Stain]

Come on, guys. That was good.

[David Bore]

That was pretty good. I think that was a nice way to end.

[Kevon J Stain]

Come on, man. We gotta go out on that.

[Langston Kerman]

That was pretty nice.

[Kevon J Stain]

If you watch the whole episode. Yeah, that is worth it.

[Langston Kerman]

That was pretty good.

[Kevon J Stain]

If you watch the whole episode, we.

[David Bore]

Gotta do like the Looney Tunes circle like. That was good. That's.

[Kevon J Stain]

Dude, if you're on stage right now, if you had seven minutes left, you're like, nothing's gonna beat that. I gotta go.

[Langston Kerman]

Give credit where credit is due, brother. You wrapped it up.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

This ain't our show no more.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

That's yours.

[Kevon J Stain]

Damn. Hey, like, that's the Perfect.

[Langston Kerman]

I didn't know you worked here. My bad, man. Just let us take our stuff off the walls. It's all yours.

[David Bore]

You want to hear from me and Langston? We're doing a black and white Re Rock podcast. Probably on a different network, to be honest.

[Kevon J Stain]

We just gotta have to let me know when this comes out, because I don't want to, like, steal the thunder of this. Yeah, but the world has to. I have literally been on the Internet for. I've never heard this ever, bro. This is going to change things.

[David Bore]

FX used to really be for freaks back then.

[Kevon J Stain]

No, they had to then differentiate themselves.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

FX didn't have any hold on, like, cool show.

[David Bore]

It was like playmakers, and black and.

[Kevon J Stain]

White Playmakers come on the NFL. That's my other conspiracy. I mean, that probably is just. Everybody knows that the NFL is just like, hey, man, turn that off, or you never play. You never watch a game again.

[David Bore]

No, Playmakers couldn't happen.

[Kevon J Stain]

Playmakers was like. I was watching. They're like, this is the best show ever. And the NFL, 100% is like, this. Probably worse.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

And the NFL was like, this is terrible for the Shield.

[Langston Kerman]

We don't like how this makes us look.

[Kevon J Stain]

And, like, not only did ESPN not pick, no one touched it. Like, I get why ESPN was like, okay, that's bad business for us.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

But no network was like, yo, it really does.

[David Bore]

It's the same reason that blitz game where you could give people shots didn't catch on. You remember that?

[Langston Kerman]

I do.

[Kevon J Stain]

You remember that?

[David Bore]

When NFL blitzed, when you could give them cortisone shots and shit like that, that shit came out one year and they never did it again.

[Langston Kerman]

Now it was meant to be like, the real football.

[David Bore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

That's too much.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

No, we really, at one point had to bend the knee to corporations in a way that, like, they even now, probably. I bet there's a fear to fuck with the NFL 1000%.

[David Bore]

Yeah. Cause you don't. Nobody does.

[Kevon J Stain]

No.

[David Bore]

You really can't go at the NFL like that.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

They survived. Kaepernick. Even ballers with so many black players.

[David Bore]

Yeah.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

Like that, bro. That would have brought other companies to their knees.

[Langston Kerman]

Right.

[Kevon J Stain]

They played just enough cards. Right. That black people came. I stopped. I turned down the most lucrative brand deal ever. The NFL was, like, trying to get back in the good graces of the blacks. Whoa, whoa. And they offered me an amount of money I've never seen before or since.

[Langston Kerman]

Holy shit.

[Kevon J Stain]

And I was just like, this is the moment. I either sell out or don't. And I didn't sell out. And a comedian, no disrespect to him. He took the bag.

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

And then black people were back in, like, three months. And I was like, you thought. You thought this was my civil rights moment. And, like, I had to stand for something.

[Langston Kerman]

You were John Lee Lewis.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

Oh, no, Kev. You were John Lewis.

[Kevon J Stain]

And then it was wasted in, like, three months.

[David Bore]

Kev, I can't tell you how bad that story hurts my feelings.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, man. But I. You did it, though.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

No, you. You.

[Kevon J Stain]

And nobody would have known. Like, some people didn't even boycott. I would have been good. But my soul was not for sale.

[Langston Kerman]

Fuck, man.

[Kevon J Stain]

But, brother, it was life changing.

[David Bore]

Can we say. Can I ask you a question? Six or seven?

[Kevon J Stain]

It was closer to seven, but it was six.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

God damn.

[Kevon J Stain]

And I was like.

[Guest or Supporting Speaker]

I thought we were talking four or five. No, no, no.

[Kevon J Stain]

I really, like, had to, like. I felt like the Illuminati door was gonna open after, like, once you accept this. My thing was, if I do this, then what won't I do?

[Langston Kerman]

Yeah.

[Kevon J Stain]

And if I can't stand up for what I believe in, then there's no telling what I'll do.

[Langston Kerman]

And I will say that that's not a number that anybody can offer you without. Without putting so many strings.

[Kevon J Stain]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[David Bore]

That's the thing about it. You don't get the money and walk.

[Langston Kerman]

No kidding, silly.

[Kevon J Stain]
