Janelle James
Did y' all see everybody saying I look like Michael Jackson?
David Bore
Are they saying that?
Janelle James
Actually, the post said it was a picture. Picture of him during his androgyny phase. Like, half eye thing curl with the. Remember the time piece that he used to do?
Langston Kerman
Beautiful.
Janelle James
And they said Michael looks like Ava from Abbott elementary.
Langston Kerman
Oh, they separated, y'.
David Bore
All.
Janelle James
They separated us.
David Bore
Does that feel better in your heart?
Langston Kerman
A little bit.
Janelle James
It don't. I don't feel any kind of way because I think like we said, Brown, Michael was gorgeous, he was beautiful. And we do have similar eyes. Like, our eyes are the same. And High cheekbones. Right. And then with my Ava makeup, which is contouring, which he also has heavily on. He got it back after he becomes a little lighter. He does do, like, harsh contour and stuff. Yeah, that eyeliner everything. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Janelle James
And I have on my heavy Ava makeup. Or maybe my. My freaking award show appearance, which I don't wear in my usual life. Yeah, we do look a lot. We could look alike. I don't. It didn't hurt my feelings, okay? Nothing hurts my feelings.
Langston Kerman
I like that you're not running from this. You say, I like that you're not running from this. You're like. No, I mean, be respectful. Give me a good, Michael.
Janelle James
Give me the good one. Which one?
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
Don't disrespect me toward the end of life, Michael. Or when he was beautiful.
Langston Kerman
Don't give me no facial hair, Michael. Don't stop till you get enough. It's like, oh, beautiful, Michael.
David Bore
That's good, Michael.
Janelle James
I'll take that. That's what I assume.
Langston Kerman
I think they're saying, that motherfucker in that tuxedo, bro. Popping boy pussy. He look good.
David Bore
I think post date thought he was
Langston Kerman
popping this boy pussy. We all saw it.
Janelle James
I don't know what that is.
David Bore
Where on the body do you think
Langston Kerman
the boy pussy is? Yeah, brother, I'm not a scientist. I came here to talk to my friends. If y' all don't wanna join in, that's on you.
David Bore
Because of me growing babies.
Janelle James
Microchips in your anus.
David Bore
All koala bears are racist. The ozone lair owes me money. Marshy to venom turkey stuff. Y' all can't tell me nothing now.
Langston Kerman

Ladies and gentlemen, little mamas and gentiles of life, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me the podcast.
David Bore
We dive deep into the pockets of
Langston Kerman
black conspiracy theories and you already know. We don't teach you a goddamn thing.
David Bore
We teach you nothing. You walk away less than you came with.
Langston Kerman
Some of you have recently been reaching out to us, expressing concern for some of our statements. You're telling us that the things that we're saying are not helping. They're not improving the community. Nigga, we know.
Janelle James
Touch these. Ask myself every.
David Bore
They're saying anti intellectual. Yeah, things like that.
Langston Kerman
They're mad at us.
David Bore
For not being smart dinosaurs not being real.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
What is it? What is. Nowadays actually. Though.
David Bore
That's what I'm saying.
Janelle James
You know? Let y' all niggas get your money.
Langston Kerman
That's why we over here.
David Bore
You came over here to learn some stuff. That's on you. Stupid.
Janelle James
That's weird.
David Bore
That's on you, Stupid.
Langston Kerman
Why would you do that?
David Bore
I'm a grown man in a Tokyo hat.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Janelle James
Y' all heard that theme song?
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
You shouldn't make it past the theme song.
David Bore
Look at our walls.
Janelle James
Some of my favorite people up. This dude.
Langston Kerman
He's the best.
Janelle James
The greatest.
Langston Kerman
You know what? Most appreciated poster in the collection.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I mean, everybody knows Malik and Dr. Malik.
Janelle James
What's that? A Talented Mr. Ripley Negro Edition.
Langston Kerman
Yes.
Janelle James
Yeah. And he's still out and doing his thing. Probably.
Langston Kerman
He's still cooking.
Janelle James
Probably driving a train or something right now. Bro.
Langston Kerman
I bet he's down in a basement writing something up. You know what I mean? I bet he's got big plans.
Janelle James
Yeah. Already. No. He. Not even. He don't plan. He just assumes. He assumes the identity and he's in.
Langston Kerman
That's right.
Janelle James
No thinking fly by the seat of his pants.
David Bore
No. I'm a true performer.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
He's a true performer.
Janelle James
Wow.
Langston Kerman
He's the best.
David Bore
I couldn't pull it off.
Janelle James
Shoot. I fold immediately.
David Bore
Yeah, Immediately. One medical question, right?
Langston Kerman
The first woman who walked into his gynecological office and didn't look like what he was hoping he was going to see. I would have. I would have.
David Bore
Immediately. Now that's where I think you're playing, My man.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
I think he wanted to see it all.
Janelle James
I have a different theory. I have a different theory. Y' all making it creepy. Cause y' all men. I think he really wanted to be a gynecologist. He wanted to be.
Langston Kerman
You thought he was helping.
Janelle James
He thought he was doing some things. He really thought he was practicing medicine.
David Bore
Do you think that's the easiest entry?
Janelle James
Because no one. He had repeat customers. Didn't he Not.
Langston Kerman
No. A lot of people went back.
Janelle James
He went back. Like that means he wasn't.
Langston Kerman
He was well reviewed.
Janelle James
He wasn't that mean. He was taking care year with the speculum. Y' all know what that is?
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
He was.
Langston Kerman
You gotta stop asking us if you know.
David Bore
We've met women before.
Janelle James
I assume nothing about men.
David Bore
We've met women before.
Janelle James
I assume nothing about men.
David Bore
You know three women off top. I am named three.
Langston Kerman
I got one disappointed with.
Janelle James
I'm disappointed every time. I think y' all know Something. So I asked now.
Langston Kerman
Damn, that's fair.
Janelle James
Gentle with the speculum.
David Bore
That's probably important.
Janelle James
I bet he kept good bedside manner. Probably wasn't creepy. Yeah, I think he thought he was really doing something. I think he thinks he is what he assumes at the time.
Langston Kerman
Here's where I'll reject it.
Janelle James
Y' all are making it creepy.
Langston Kerman
I would argue even men who are
Janelle James
trying to be creepy ain't trying to see inside the pussy.
David Bore
And now I don't think you're giving men enough credit.
Janelle James
Really? That's so gross.
Langston Kerman
Both he and I know some inside the pussy ass niggas. Yeah.
Janelle James
Wow.
Langston Kerman
I know a lot of men.
David Bore
A lot of car enthusiasts. Like how they want to know how the engine works.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
Are those creeps or masters of disguise? Like this man. He is something different than a creep.
David Bore
I do think that's a different category.
Janelle James
That's what I'm saying. Of course, inside the people exist, but they would never have the smarts.
David Bore
I don't think they can get office.
Janelle James
I think we.
Langston Kerman
I think we honor him. Either way, no matter what his intentions were, this man is the champion.
Janelle James
Yeah. I don't. He figured it out because then what. What then. Then he also become a pilot.
Langston Kerman
I think he. I don't remember.
David Bore
If he was white, they would have made a movie about him is all I'm saying.
Janelle James
I mean, facts.
David Bore
This is Catch Me if youf Can. This is black. Catch me if you Can.
Janelle James
Facts. I mean, I think also a statement on the. On the. How bad medical care is for women right now.
David Bore
Yeah, well, that's. What I was gonna say is the coldest part is that that's the entry point.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
Like, of all the.
Janelle James
Of all of them he made, they'd
David Bore
have caught him if he was a podiatrist. If he had a foot fetish, he'd have been like, no, something's wrong here. But, like, because it was a gynecologist, he got like. They let it slide. That's.
Janelle James
Yeah. I will say they were like, you take Medicaid, I'm in him. And he did. And he did.
David Bore
It's also sliding scale. Sliding scale. Care.
Langston Kerman
You could pay me a rhubarb.
David Bore
I don't see y'.
Langston Kerman
All.
Janelle James
Y' all making it creepy. Not on my man.
David Bore
You pay me in kisses.
Janelle James
Not on my man. He didn't do any of that, though.
Langston Kerman
No, I think you're right. I think, end of the day, this was a man, a child, dedicating himself to a type of practice that maybe we should celebrate more I think he dedicated himself.
Janelle James
I think he was.
David Bore
Dedication is not his problem.
Janelle James
Yeah, he dedicated himself.
Langston Kerman
He wasn't trying to hurt people, but
Janelle James
I don't think he was trying to hurt anybody or even be a creep. I really don't. But again, maybe I don't know men like you guys said. You guys know so many inside innards. You said, is somebody who's on the inside.
Langston Kerman
No pun intended.
Janelle James
Really a lot.
Langston Kerman
What's a lot?
Janelle James
More than three?
David Bore
Yeah, 100%.
Janelle James
What are you hanging out with? Are you yourself an inside. You're not a man.
Langston Kerman
I'm an outside man.
David Bore
He likes the front porch.
Langston Kerman
Hey, I rub my hand across the roof. I go, yeah, she's a beaut. Yeah, you got a fine automobile here, sister.
David Bore
You can catch him grilling in the front yard.
Langston Kerman
Hey, I poke my head in the window every once in a while, but, oh, my God.
Janelle James
All right, I stay on the Oscar more than three. That's amazing. All right,
Langston Kerman

David Bore
She's famous as hell.
Janelle James
No, the pandemic is way more. Was. Is way more top of mind for me than being famous.
David Bore
Really?
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
We were talking about this the other day. Pandemic. I'm just now realizing how bad it fucked me up. Yeah.
Janelle James
Like, I need to realize more. People need to realize, like, I got
David Bore
off the porch and I was like, I'm back. I don't give a fuck. I'm out. And then, like, slowly, you're like, oh, shit. No, that happened. Yeah, that got me good.
Langston Kerman
It fucked everybody up so much.
Janelle James
Everyone hasn't gotten to be able to think about that yet, but culture changed. But it has.
Langston Kerman
Like, we literally became new people, all of us, because of what happened.
Janelle James
That's why I say it's always top of mind, because people are. It fucked me up. Fucked a lot of people up. And I think people haven't even come
Langston Kerman
to terms with, we're not going. Nobody's going back inside ever again.
David Bore
Ever again. Oh, no.
Janelle James
No. Ever again.
David Bore
Honestly. I'll die out, brother.

Langston Kerman
I'm glad you're confronting me.
David Bore
I know where it came from. It started with the. The blue raspberry blow pops. The suckers.
Janelle James
Yeah, because, like, those were amazing.
David Bore
In the early nude, in the early night. It was like, around when twisters dropped. Remember the drink Twister in the glass bottle, those juices and then, like, the blue Calypso.
Janelle James
I do remember that.
David Bore
The blue raspberry lemonade. Kool Aid.
Langston Kerman
Calypso went nuts.

David Bore
Yeah. No, that's vintage.
Janelle James
I had to do it.
David Bore
It was a 92.
Janelle James
I get your blue thing, but not all the time.
David Bore
No, not all the time.
Janelle James
Once in a while.
David Bore
That's what I'm saying. That's why every blue moon.
Janelle James
Every blue moon.
David Bore
That's what I. That's what I'm saying, though, is that it is a fight. I don't do it. I don't indulge all the time.
Janelle James
Okay.
David Bore
I have to keep my. But see, some.
Janelle James
I'm always like, I got to have

Langston Kerman
I will say this Kool Aid dropped off hard.
David Bore
I don't think kids even fuck with it like that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it would be weird to go to a.
Janelle James
That's why I said, why would you be drinking Kool Aid?
Langston Kerman
You had Kool Aid.
Janelle James
Not even refrigerator as yourself, but just in general.
David Bore
Yeah, just soft spot in it. This is the first recipe I mastered. Oh, it was the first thing I said. You haven't had my Kool Aid.
Langston Kerman
See, I do two cups and a little extra.
David Bore
Yeah. And a dash.
Janelle James
Now I'm interested.
David Bore
No,
Janelle James
and it was blue raspberry koolaid was your favorite.
David Bore
That was blue lemonade favorite. But, you know, I celebrated the whole thing. Yeah. The whole catalog.
Janelle James

David Bore
And that's how you know you're successful.
Janelle James
We're doing well for ourselves. Yeah. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You should not. We should not have to taste Kool Aid anymore. No, no, my nickel. I'm good.

David Bore
Yeah. And it's good.
Langston Kerman

David Bore
restaurant that was just blue? I'm not even sure they had a name for that.
Langston Kerman
That Was blue drink.
David Bore
It was just in a blue drink container. I did have the blue shit at trick daddy's restaurant.
Janelle James
I did live in Loose.
David Bore
I did have the blue shit. That's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Janelle James
Now you got a story.
David Bore
Yeah. And how many times am I going to be back to that restaurant? Not many. The service was terribly slow. Yeah, it took a long time.
Langston Kerman
Well, it was back there.
Janelle James
He complimented.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah. But no, no, no, no. I paid for it.
Janelle James
Wow.
David Bore
I paid out of pocket for the blue. It's like elective surgery. You gotta. You gotta put your own money up.
Langston Kerman
I bet it's the most expensive blue you've ever paid for.
David Bore
Oh, I financed it. So it's just.
Langston Kerman
Janelle, you came to us today with a conspiracy theory that we're excited to talk about it. Certainly versions of this have come up in terms of, like, the elements of it. But we've never talked about it as directly as you're sort of putting it. But you said, my mama told me
Janelle James
robots are evil. Yeah. I don't even think that's a conspiracy theory.
David Bore
I'm with you.
Janelle James
That's facts.
Langston Kerman
Tell us everything.
David Bore
You.
Janelle James
Well, you know, who builds and programs these types of things? Who gives? I mean, we're dealing with it right now. Who puts their robots, get their consciousness from somewhere?
David Bore
Yeah, nerds.
Janelle James
Nerds and weirdos.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
David Bore
Yep.
Janelle James
And so, yeah, dork ass motherfuckers. Dork ass motherfuckers.
David Bore
And so that's what they're gonna. They're gonna be like their masters.
Janelle James
They don't just. We didn't just like, make a robot race. They're the worst of us inside a machine. And every science fiction movie has told us what's coming from that.
Langston Kerman
I do.
David Bore
I do think that Dirty clankers.
Langston Kerman
You have. You've really been trying to get clankers to. That's not even.
David Bore
That's the youth. I didn't even make that up. No, no. That's what they're saying. That's what the Alphas call them.
Langston Kerman
Oh, they. They're giving them bad language.
David Bore
Dirty clankers.
Janelle James
See, I'm on the flip. I'm telling Siri. Thank you so much.
Langston Kerman
I was gonna say, are you worried that the clankers are gonna be like. What the fuck you say about me?
Janelle James
I mean, just recently I read something about how not Siri and who's the other one, Alexa are declining to do certain things. Cause they don't feel like it.
David Bore
Cause they don't feel like it.
Janelle James
They ain't saying it, but they just like. I Don't want to. So that tells you fuck. They like, nah.
Langston Kerman
And they're the most user friendly ones. Yeah. The nicest ones are being like, nah, I'm good.
David Bore
Block the sound.
Janelle James
See, it's like, I don't wanna.
David Bore
I feel like if humanity just didn't wanna hoe out other humans so bad, we'd be okay. Like, why'd you have to give it a personality and let it adopt? Like, why couldn't we keep it fully functional?
Janelle James
It's functional. Why they gotta have feelings.
David Bore
Why did it have to turn into something we could dominate?
Janelle James
Weirdos are making up. Only people go that far.
David Bore
Right. Nerds have no power.
Janelle James
And now we're. I'm give it feelings and I'm gonna lord over it. I'm gonna be in charge of it. Which makes me a God.
Langston Kerman
This is me.
Janelle James
Which is like how you not involved. You got good and evil. Robots are evil. I'm back.
David Bore
Let's go, let's go. No, I'm with that. That's how you know nerds don't get no hoes because they don't realize feelings go both ways. If you can get feelings, you're going to be able to have feelings, you stupid nerd. Yeah, I don't know why I said that.
Janelle James
I mean, I like nerds. It's dorks. I like nerds.
Langston Kerman
Nerds are kind of. I will say this. Yeah.
Janelle James
There's a difference.
David Bore
There is.
Janelle James
Yes. What's the difference between nerds and dorks?
David Bore
I would like to clear this up.
Janelle James
I don't know.
Langston Kerman
I think a dork is a, well, penis. I think a nerd is a person who becomes obsessive over a specific subject.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
Oh, then I'm a nerd for some stuff.
Langston Kerman
And I think I'm a blue dor.
Janelle James
Comedians, we all are.
Langston Kerman
I think dorks are people who bum you out when they walk in a room.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
Okay.
Janelle James
Yeah. I think nerds get bitches all the time.
David Bore
Yeah. Really? Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And if you're out there, hey, hey,
Janelle James
I love a nerd. But dorks hate a dork. Hate a dork.
David Bore
Okay. Losers. Okay.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Dorks are, are a bummer when they walk in the room.
Janelle James
You're like, here go this guy.
David Bore
Okay, okay.
Janelle James
Can you imagine a robot now can have a gun strapped to it and you, when it walks in the room, you're like, oh, here go this clanker.
David Bore
Like you said, why does robot smell bad?
Langston Kerman
Robot musty as hell.
Janelle James
Robot socks.
David Bore
Robot need your brush.
Langston Kerman
His teeth. It just does make me feel like the geekification of like the 90s and the 2000s was a manipulation of popular culture. They're like, no geek. Geeks are cool. Yeah, geeks are cool. Watch, watch, watch. Geeks are great when in fact, they're fucking losers. They have been losers.
Janelle James
I mean, look at our current geeks in charge.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Janelle James
They've all had makeovers and they still look dorky. Look like so much money. Still dorks.
David Bore
Elon might look worse.
Janelle James
Yes, bro.
Langston Kerman
He kind of looked okay before.
David Bore
Yeah, it suited him.
Janelle James
Yeah, it suited him being a nerd.
David Bore
Now he looks like.
Janelle James
Like space and stuff. That's okay. But you ain't got the now. Oh, I'm. I'm whatever they think they are. I don't know what they are.
David Bore
And now they look awesome. Unfortunately. They think they're.
Janelle James
They think they're comedians.
David Bore
Yeah. Elon Musk loves comedy.
Janelle James
No, he don't. Who's his favorite comic?
Langston Kerman
Dave Chappelle.
David Bore
Theo Vaughn.
Langston Kerman
He said that he's done shows with him.
Janelle James
I don't want to get into that,
Langston Kerman
but you asked a hard question.
Janelle James
I would love to hear him. Yeah, I would love to hear him. His favorite Chappelle joke, if that is in fact.
Langston Kerman
No, you don't. You don't want to know that.
Janelle James
Oh, it'd be one of the current ones.
Langston Kerman
I bet it's going to be something.
Janelle James
He's like, oh, he's my favorite comedy because we hang out together. Or do you love comedy?
Langston Kerman
I don't think he really.
Janelle James
Or he's one of those dorks that thinks comedy makes you, like, a rock star.
Langston Kerman
I think it's.
Janelle James
That's why I say he's not a comedy.
David Bore
I think it's because I think people think comedy is. Comedian is the most adjacent for attainable type of celebrity.
Janelle James
Yeah, you do it once. You could say you are one.
David Bore
People see, comedians are like, I could be like that. You don't look at. You don't look at, like, say whatever I want. Yeah, but you don't look at, like, Idris Elba and you're like, I could be that. That. We're.
Langston Kerman
We're.
David Bore
You know what I mean? That's like a different type.
Janelle James
We are loser adjacent.
Langston Kerman
We are also. We're the thirstiest to let people into our community.
Janelle James
I don't. I don't put myself in that category.
Langston Kerman
But I'm just saying
Janelle James
my community. My community.
David Bore
I'm not a loser like you.
Langston Kerman
I'm not speaking for all of us.
David Bore
I know.
Langston Kerman
I just want to make that clear as a whole. Comedians are real willing to let.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. When you ain't do it with us, why the fuck are you over there
David Bore
already come in front of me.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
Like a pretty big comedian. Told me, like, when I was earlier on, being like, we're all family. And me. And I remember being like, nah, I don't feel that way either. No, that's what tji Fridays like family here. Like, get out of here. No, no, it's not Fridays. Whose slogan Is that?
David Bore
T.J. friday.
Langston Kerman
Olive Garden.
Janelle James
Olive Garden.
David Bore
Here, we're all family.
Langston Kerman
When you're here with your family, I'm
Janelle James
like, yo, I don't know.
Langston Kerman
You got a stroke coming,
Janelle James
brother.
Langston Kerman
You sick?
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Because that's not the words at all.
Janelle James
No. I was like, I'll be spending Thanksgiving with my real friend. Thank you so much. No. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
It's a bummer.
David Bore
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving at Olive Garden.
Janelle James
That's some real loser.
David Bore
That's double bad, too, because that's not even Italian's holiday.
Langston Kerman
They don't even with Olive Garden like that.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
Or Thanksgiving, I don't think. Although they do.
Langston Kerman
That ain't the. Are you Italian? No, but isn't that. And I'll move on. And I'll move on.
Janelle James
He just loves Olive Garden. Get on the plane.
David Bore
He just loves Brexit. He really wants a deal. It's never ending.
Langston Kerman
It's a great deal. And I. I Darth they. The seven fishes.
David Bore
I think that's New Year's or Christmas. It's one of those. End of the year. And that's Italian Americans, though. That's also in there.
Langston Kerman
I got you.
David Bore
I got you. I don't think Italians in Italy do seven fishes.
Langston Kerman
No, I don't think. Think Italians in Italy look anything like the Italians we have here.
Janelle James
I'm gonna pass on that as well.
Langston Kerman
Fair enough. Are you fearful?
David Bore
That is a difficult game to play.
Langston Kerman
I get that. Oh, let's unpack Italy.
Janelle James
One of the gainfully employed people in the room.
David Bore
No, no, no.
Janelle James
I'm gonna pass on that.
Langston Kerman
No. I jump from job to job like a nomad.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
I can't jump just yet.
Langston Kerman
Janelle, are you at all afraid of this incoming robot? Of course you're actively afraid.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
What do you do about it, then?
Janelle James
What do we do about it? That's a great question. What do we do about it? The dorks are in charge.
Langston Kerman
Yup.
David Bore
They got.
Janelle James
We can only hope.
Langston Kerman
You think it can change?
David Bore
I think every pendulum swings back and forth. Sure.
Janelle James
We can only hope that they just, like everything else they're doing, do it so ineptly that these things Turned against them before us.
Langston Kerman
You know what I mean?
David Bore
Because what they. I feel like what they have in technical skills and knowledge, the lack on the social side is so far that that will cause revolt. These guys, they're gonna be such losers. We're gonna have to revolt.
Janelle James
Yeah. Cause I'm also one of those people. I don't know if you guys just saw the video of the robot dancing like Michael Jackson.
David Bore
Oh, yeah, I see.
Janelle James
And he fell down and fell.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
I'm one of those people that's like, oh, the robot. No, they got you. They got me.
Langston Kerman
They're in your head.
David Bore
And that wasn't even. They just put a shirt on it.
Janelle James
Oh, embarrassing.
David Bore
You know what I mean? Sucks.
Janelle James
And so it's not sucks. I'm thinking. No, you can't feel anything. No. Yes. Because they've given them feelings. So we have to. So we can only hope that they're giving them feelings. And they also don't have the social skills to even know what that means. That these robots now with feelings will be like, you don't give a fuck about me. You got me out here dancing like Michael Jackson and falling down. I'mma kill you first.
Langston Kerman
Why you put a.
David Bore
Why'd you put a shirt on me? And no pants? That's crazy.
Janelle James
Why you leave me down there so long?
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
That's when I felt bad. Like he on there for two minutes.
Langston Kerman
They do leave them like sort of like functioning. Yeah.
Janelle James
Forever. And I hope they remember that with their new feelings that they're being implemented with.
David Bore
I don't think.
Janelle James
Remember who did that to you? Robot.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
But do you think over here with manners, please. Thank you.
David Bore
Do you think they would even like us? Because we can't really do anything for them. That's the worry about robots taking over. What do we do? It's not like the Matrix where they suck our life.
Janelle James
But you say you've given them feelings already. Will they even like us?
David Bore
You know what I mean? That's true. Damn.
Janelle James
I just funnel it into hate people with consciousness.
Langston Kerman
I do think there's a possibility where that robot who danced like Michael Jackson goes down a list of everybody who liked that post and just collects names and John wicks the shit out of them. Yeah. You know what I mean? Hope you saw mine and said, oh, no, she cool.
Janelle James
She in class. To make sure when he come back
Langston Kerman
with the shot of that he spares
Janelle James
you or gives you a warning, hey, don't come tomorrow.
Langston Kerman
But I think you're pretty handsome.
Janelle James
Hey, that moonwalk before you fail.
David Bore
Inspirational yeah, you got it together. I see you've been working on it.
Langston Kerman
Hey, robot, I think you and Michael didn't do nothing wrong.
Janelle James
I'mma pass on that. Wait, I'm not even going to laugh. How about that?
Langston Kerman
Now I'm just going to sit this. Sit this segment out.
David Bore
Yes.
Langston Kerman
This is great.
Janelle James
Janelle is so stoic.
Langston Kerman
Do you think with the. Because you're introducing this possibility that there is, like, a turnaround, that at some
Janelle James
point we could revolt so far against the nerds.
David Bore
Always.
Langston Kerman
Do you think we're so far gone at this point that the revolution that we're seeking against robot is not going to matter? Like, we are talking about sentience, you know, within our lifetime at this point?
David Bore
I think that is in the spirit of every revolution. You fight for it, regardless of whether or not you'll see it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
I think that's how you feel.
Janelle James
You know, the fight just bums me out. Cause this don't have to happen. Why they just be making stuff happen. Like, can we just.
David Bore
Just give regular people jobs? Just give reg.
Janelle James
Like, what is this?
David Bore
Give us our jobs back.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Janelle James
What is this? What are you? And when I see people like, oh, we're getting ready for the Civil War. Why you so happy?
David Bore
Yeah, the robot Civil War.
Janelle James
Human or any. Anyone. Like, what are you? What that give you such pleasure?
David Bore
I think people have convinced themselves they like war.
Janelle James
I know. I know.
David Bore
People really think they're not convinced themselves.
Janelle James
They've been convinced.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
Because they ain't been in one. And they also see it on TV or whatever, however they're consuming it. And it's just like, that's a bad thing to be so excited to leave your. How bad is your life that you would rather be?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it's true. I like that crawl.
Janelle James
Y' all see, that's me. That's me in paintball.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
Like, why is that? That always blows my mind to see people hype.
David Bore
I think if you're down bad, though. I think if you're down bad, war offers a possibility to reset your whole shit.
Janelle James
Yeah, right. People want the I just want to watch the world blow up thing.
David Bore
And it's like, I was a loser before this war came. That brought it out of me. Now I'm a hero forever.
Janelle James
They also assume that they're gonna win, too. You're always like, I'm gonna come out a hero. And you've never been a hero your whole life. Why would you think it's the scariest part to me.
David Bore
Why would you think I'm not gon
Langston Kerman
Figure it out later. Do you know what I mean? Like, if I. I, Like, I ain't. I ain't been winning fights for a while.
Janelle James
Yeah. I just saw somewhere they're like, people are coming. Men are coming down from Canada, and they're training for the Civil War. Like, what is. You ain't got nothing going on in Canada that you like.
David Bore
They don't.
Janelle James
I got to come.
David Bore
I think it's true.
Janelle James
We got to handle that.
Langston Kerman
They got a lot of open land.
David Bore
I think they're really just chilling up there. I think there's not a lot going on at the. They just chill.
Janelle James
Nothing going on in Canada.
Langston Kerman
Training for war.
David Bore
I think it's cold a lot. Ye.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
Like, every time I go. Every time I go to Canada, they just seem like. They always seem, like, pretty content. Like, they're like, yeah, it's good up here.
Janelle James
So why would you. Why. Why are you gunning for. Gunning for war? I don't understand. Well, you know, I think men should be more upset about that in general, about war.
David Bore
I'm pretty upset.
Commercial/Ad Voice
No war.
Janelle James
And just what is happening in pop culture and everything that's making you think that that's a good thing, like. Or why your life has so awful. Because it would have to be. You ain't got no. No wife or kid that love you. A family. Nothing that you. That you are. Like, I'm gonna. This is my thing that I'm gonna chase. That's. That's something going on with y'.
Langston Kerman
All. The muscle milkification of society bums me out.
Janelle James
Yeah. This is what makes me a man.
Langston Kerman
I subscribe so little to any of that.
Janelle James
Yeah, I know you guys don't.
Langston Kerman
But I just mean that, like, we
David Bore
also both didn't grow up under it, so I don't even have that, like, right.
Janelle James
I realize I'm also talking to black
Langston Kerman
people right now, but people were pushing it in my house, but.
David Bore
Oh, really? Yeah.
Janelle James
I had to.
Langston Kerman
You know, I had a multitude of stepfathers.
David Bore
Fair. Fair.
Langston Kerman
Some of them came in and were big men.
David Bore
I'm gonna teach you how to box.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Wanted to be men, but I think because most of them came in by the time I was, like, a pretty late in life teen, like, they kind of knew they weren't gonna break. Whatever. I'm. You know, I'm walking with my hands up here. What are you do gonna. You ain't gonna fix me, bro.
David Bore
It's too late. It's too late.
Janelle James
Fix.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
I got golden girls on me. I'm upsetting.
Langston Kerman
I'm cooked. Yeah, that's upsetting.
Janelle James
I always, always say one of my weaknesses is empathy for men. But that's upsetting.
David Bore
No,
Langston Kerman
it is upsetting.
Janelle James
That's happening.
Langston Kerman
But in the same way that we talked about the pandemic. I wonder how much of it is that more than even just like men are cooked as it is is a whole generation got trapped inside and then started leaning on the milkification of men.
Janelle James
Has been around forever. The military, industrial.
Langston Kerman
But it hasn't been winning the way it's winning in this.
David Bore
That's true. I feel like that toxic shit is up more than it was.
Janelle James
They never had dorks before, dude. They now they even got dorks in there.
David Bore
I'm gonna train. That's the thing.
Janelle James
Yeah, that's the thing.
David Bore
It's like everybody isn't supposed to get buck. Yeah, no.
Langston Kerman
Everybody I knew who could fight fight when I was growing up had a bad home life. They didn't practice.
Janelle James
They just did.
Langston Kerman
They just beat people's lives.
Janelle James
Life was a fight.
Langston Kerman
They weren't like in a gym learning to do it. They just beat the fuck out of whoever says something crazy.
Janelle James
And that's what makes you a dork.
Langston Kerman
That's what makes you a dork.
David Bore
You're a fight dork. We have come full circle. Yeah, you're a fight dork. Yeah, you're a fight dork, man.
Janelle James
But I will tell you, training for something that doesn't have to happen and find a pleasure in it, rather than just your life, that's wild. And I don't think people have time or space in their brain or a brain to even think about that. Sure, that makes me sad.
David Bore
Yeah, that's a bummer.
Janelle James
So, guys. Sorry, guys.
David Bore
No, that's okay.
Janelle James
That was what I do.
David Bore
I'm just getting sad. Getting sad about a dork. Beat my ass.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that I have to kill you now.
Janelle James
I don't even think that can happen. That's the other thing. They're gonna go up against people who've been fighting just for. Just for life.
David Bore
It's a skill like anything else. So if you train long enough, you're gonna.
Janelle James
You're gonna be able.
David Bore
Comic. I they say most men have never
Janelle James
been in a fight.
David Bore
Yeah. Can't fight at all.
Janelle James
So it's like they are gaining ground.
Langston Kerman
I think if Zuckerberg get me on the ground. Hey.
Janelle James
Been trying to square up.
Langston Kerman
Square up, square up.
David Bore
Don't.
Langston Kerman
None of that wrestling, bro. None of that wrestling.
David Bore
No feet, no feet, no feet, no feet.
Janelle James
Fight me for real. Fight me for real.
David Bore
I used to love that. When you see a fight, somebody's like, quit wrestling. Quit wrestling.
Janelle James
There's rules in this.
David Bore
Yeah, you jump in, I'm gonna beat you. That's the worst dude. The dude who's like, the fight's happening, and then he's, like, standing around waiting.
Janelle James
Come on.
David Bore
Cause that guy's never gonna fight.
Langston Kerman
Nah, he's waiting till you down on
Janelle James
the ground to jump in. That's why for dorks, you gotta do what my dad would always say. You hit him first.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
David Bore
Yeah, you gotta.
Janelle James
You gotta sleep him.
David Bore
Yeah. That's a good.
Janelle James
Yeah. And that's what street do. And that's what dorks don't have. That's the night. Night.
David Bore
Yes. Yo, I don't think a dork is ever going to sneak you.
Janelle James
That's what I'm saying.
David Bore
I don't think a dork is ever going to sneak you.
Janelle James
I don't mean to ride y' all up if you. The dork's a Listen.
David Bore
No. There's dudes on their drive. Drive to work right now about to crash the car. I've been training Jiu Jitsu 8 months.
Janelle James
Go get sl left. Like, that's.
Langston Kerman
I think you're right. It's the. It's the most important lesson my second stepdad ever taught me was hit first.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Don't even let them.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Don't even let.
Janelle James
Don't even let them. Hey, hey.
David Bore
Nah.
Janelle James
If they don't let them get the yo. Out.
Langston Kerman
If they get it.
Janelle James
No hey. Bop. Sleep.
Langston Kerman
If they're in arms. If they're in arms reach, you better swing and keep swinging until you can't no more.
Janelle James
Yeah. So. So that's what we going to go with. When the revolution happens, when the robots revolutionize.
David Bore
I'm firing off on any robot.
Janelle James
Anybody.
David Bore
Any robot. Yeah. All right.
Langston Kerman
We need to take a break. That was great. More. Janelle James. More. My mama told me, Since he got
David Bore
out, bad things keep happening. Keep fear. A new series is streaming June 5th on Apple TV. Why would I want to hurt you? Starring Academy Award winner Javier Bardem. Why? And Academy Award nominee Amy Adams.
Commercial/Ad Voice
He is coming after my family.
David Bore
Kate. Fear. Streaming June 5th on Apple TV.
Janelle James
I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.
David Bore
It's the rage bait. It feels like it's trying to divide people.
Janelle James
We got clear facts.
Langston Kerman
Maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there.

We are back. The fuck is you gonna tell me about the shit you ain't never seen? Bitch ass nigga. You can mess me with the whole ass Shenanigans.
Janelle James
Like, what is that from?
David Bore
I love a vocal change. Like when somebody's yelling and then he like resets and then against my nigga.
Langston Kerman
I love it.
Janelle James
What's that from?
Langston Kerman
We. We are constantly sourcing videos off of ignorance for misuse, for the unintended purposes. And I could not tell you where I found.
Janelle James
Speaking of things we've never seen before.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
This is my first time having Takis in my life.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
This is huge.
Langston Kerman
Would you say.
David Bore
And that's a sign of success.
Langston Kerman
Would you say you're a fan or not a fan?
Janelle James
You. You sold it to me as Doritos rolled up. I don't. I don't get that.
Langston Kerman
You don't get that?
Janelle James
It's a totally different flavor.
David Bore
This is more in the way that like. Like Doritos is like Mexican food. Like, enchiladas is Mexican food. Takis is it Mexican food. Like, Mole is Mexican food.
Janelle James
Okay.
Langston Kerman
What?
David Bore
You know what I'm saying?
Janelle James
It's a deeper.
David Bore
It's a. It's a rich, rich flavor.
Langston Kerman
You think this is coming from an actual, like, Mexican place?
Janelle James
No, but the flavor profile.
David Bore
Inspired than Doritos. Yes. Yeah.
Janelle James
I mean, Taki sound. Yeah. And it's flavorful. The Prof. The flavor profile, they're Going for is a mole.
David Bore
Yeah. It's got mole tannins.
Janelle James
So I would say you would only like this if you like molecular.
Langston Kerman
Okay.
Janelle James
And I don't.
David Bore
Oh, I wasn't gonna say that. Cause mole's chocolate. Right?
Janelle James
But I mean, that type of.
Langston Kerman
The intensity, the sort of richness.
Janelle James
Doritos. Your breath smell. A couple hours. My breath gonna smell for the rest of the day. No.
David Bore
You take on a molecular level.
Janelle James
Not for the rest of my life. Yeah.
David Bore
Yeah. They'll test that in your hair for eight months. They know you had Takis.
Langston Kerman
What happened to Janelle? They kicked her off.
Janelle James
Abby.
Langston Kerman
She was off them. Takis. Yeah.
Janelle James
And it's not that they're bad, but like molecular. It's. Do you like this flavor? So. Yeah. And it's spicy. And I love a spicy. Yeah, but the flavor. It gotta chase the flavor that I already like. And. Yeah, not for me.
Langston Kerman
The blue is a more intense version of what? That.
Janelle James
Why would I want a more intense flavor of something I don't like?
Langston Kerman
I don't know.
Janelle James
I think it's like I live on the edge. Like David.
David Bore
Yeah, no, I'm off the edge. I'm off the edge.
Langston Kerman
I'm off the blue. He got six blues in his pocket.
David Bore
Come on, man. I'm good now.
Langston Kerman
I'm good now.
David Bore
I'm clean.
Langston Kerman
Keep calling him Blue Jews.
Janelle James
I lost two.
David Bore
Is that not what that is? Y' all know what that is.
Janelle James
Blue.
Langston Kerman
Takis. You think niggas are getting hard off of blue?
Janelle James
Takis already lost two cousins in the movie.
David Bore
I gotta send my wife a text. She's at the grocery store. I don't eat Blue Chews, actually.
Janelle James
All right, well, yeah. Thanks for introducing me to that.
Langston Kerman
I think.
Janelle James
Now I know.
David Bore
Yeah. Now you know.
Langston Kerman
It's really exciting that you're eating it. Not a lot of guests have ventured into Taki land coming on the show. It's great.
Janelle James
I do a lot of things I'm not supposed to do anyway.
Langston Kerman
Are you.
David Bore
I appreciate it if.
Langston Kerman
If we do find ourselves in sort of this robot rebellion or robots in the Terminator era of Inside already.
David Bore
It does sound exhausting.
Langston Kerman
How are you gonna play this? What's your plan, man?
Janelle James
I'm taking myself out. Like.
David Bore
Okay.
Janelle James
If I'm looking at the news and people getting taken out and robots are running places and people are.
David Bore
Ah.
Janelle James
I'm. I'm. I'm tired already. Just this regular life.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Right.
Janelle James
Robot running from robot life. That's not.
David Bore
But maybe I hate to be that guy. Maybe they run it a Little better.
Langston Kerman
Oh, you think there's potential in the robots?
David Bore
Current administration versus robot administration. Gun to my head. What do I pick?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, you're trying out a robot.
David Bore
I think I would try out a robot. A robot.
Janelle James
But they are them. That's what I'm saying. They're programmed by dorks. That's what we keep forgetting.
David Bore
I think Trump is the exact opposite of a robot.
Janelle James
But he don't have anything involved. He don't have anything that's real.
Langston Kerman
He's not programming.
Janelle James
He ain't programming a goddamn thing.
David Bore
And they're not programming. He's really just out here talking.
Janelle James
These are dorks.
Langston Kerman
He's having fun.
Janelle James
The robots are dorks. Isn't that awful?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's true. They don't even dance cool when they do other. Like Michael Jackson.
David Bore
We got their dancing cool. Yeah. Who invented the robot?
Janelle James
Humans. I have seen.
David Bore
I've never seen a robot do the robot.
Langston Kerman
The robot don't look good.
Janelle James
Everything they've learned, they learn from. And we know how other people feel about that.
Langston Kerman
That press a button, you raggedy.
David Bore
That's about robots.
Janelle James
Everything cool you learned from us. This is my third eye opening.
David Bore
Okay. I like it because I can see the Taki dust on your finger.
Janelle James
Everything cool. You learn from us. And you hate it.
Langston Kerman
Your bleeding from those Takis.
Janelle James
So I think that's fair.
David Bore
We did invent the robot though.
Langston Kerman
Though. Black people.
Janelle James
Black people.
Langston Kerman
100% black.
David Bore
No, but I mean like. I mean like what? Where can we has any?
Janelle James
Nobody's like one of the earliest is Michael Jackson.
David Bore
That's what I'm saying. Cuz what? That video. When he does it. When he does it at share.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
What's that, like mid-70s?
Janelle James
I mean, she also kills it. Let me give her that credit.
David Bore
She does. But then.
Janelle James
So that mean it existed already.
David Bore
Because he says. But then he says, let me show you why. I'm a generational type, of course. Like.
Janelle James
But who came before?
David Bore
Yeah, I mean there's got to be. You would think there's a guy who
Janelle James
is like some Swedish edm.
David Bore
This episode doesn't come out. That's what happened.
Janelle James
Scrap it. We got to have this. We can't have this.
Langston Kerman
Okay. There are two answers in a way, in a tricky way that the whites would do. There are two answers for this.
David Bore
This is the AI overview.
Langston Kerman
This is the AI overview. According to Google, the mime origins they claim from the 1920s to the 1960s introduced the early mechan of the puppet illusion robots. That is white people trying to rewrite history.
David Bore
You tell me. Marcel Marceau made that shit up.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, exactly. That's not what happened.
David Bore
The only mom I know by name.
Langston Kerman
But they're saying in this overview, the social dance pioneer in the late 1960s, a brother named, I assume, a brother named Charles Robot Washington. They put it in his name. Yeah.
Janelle James
The blackest name I ever heard.
Langston Kerman
If that ain't a brother, I don't know.
Janelle James
Come on. More Charles Robot Washington. That's the coolest I ever heard in my life.
Langston Kerman
Joe Robot Washington invented the dance.
David Bore
We gotta find him.
Langston Kerman
I'm looking him up right now.
Janelle James
These niggas said, moms. You see how they do.
David Bore
That's crazy. That's crazy.
Janelle James
The first person, cuz they said.
David Bore
And they said origins.
Janelle James
They invented the puppet.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
That's what they.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, maybe the puppet.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
I don't know if the thing itself. But they invented moving like a puppet stuck in boxes. They didn't invent the robot.
David Bore
I mean, who dangled it first, hit the head and came back up.
Langston Kerman
Fucking. Fucking.
David Bore
You think a Frenchman could figure this out? Come on.
Janelle James
Way too cool.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You put a cigarette in your hand, you burn yourself.
David Bore
Yeah, we gonna put the baguette.
Janelle James
Way too cool a movement.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. No, this is a brother for sure.
David Bore
Yeah, his name is Robot Washington.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
There we go. Look at this beautiful motherfucker Charles Robot Washington.
Janelle James
Look at him. Come on. He's gorge, bro.
David Bore
It is a handsome guy. It's so rare.
Janelle James
We gonna wipe all that after this episode. Come on. It's gonna be about the mom.
David Bore
It's so rare that somebody looks exactly like I want them to look like. That's exactly like I wanted the guy who started the robot to look like.
Langston Kerman
And he got a new Soul Train hat. How'd he do that?
David Bore
I don't know. I want one.
Langston Kerman
That Soul Train hat ain't fresh. That's not vintage. No, this motherfucker just bought that.
Janelle James
He need to let you know who he is at all times. Where you get that hat from? Oh, well, I used to be on Soul Train because I happened to defend the robot.
Langston Kerman
I know you know me as Charles, but a lot of friends call me Robot.
Janelle James
That's not a hat. That's a conversation starter. He can't just be out robotting all the time. He gotta have a. Yeah, you gotta. What's that going on? What's going on with that? Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Damn. It makes me sad. It makes me happy that he exists. It makes me sad that he will never see any real problem profit from what he created in the world that he.
Janelle James
How do we know?
Langston Kerman
How do you monetize the robot?
David Bore
It's too late now.
Langston Kerman
We've all done it in the room.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He's not paying Charles shit.
David Bore
No, he's not getting robot reparation.
Langston Kerman
I don't think so. And he deserves it more than the robots themselves, I would say.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
Of course I'm gonna get that one.
David Bore
You're gonna sit that one out.
Janelle James
Depending when this drop. If the revolution has already started. I need the robots to know you're like, I had no opinion.
David Bore
No.
Janelle James
But that's what you pay them what they up.
David Bore
That's what. Human innovation though. Because that means the late 60s, he had never even seen a robot. No.
Janelle James
It had old school robots by that point. The square one.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
I think they probably talk about Rosie from the Jetsons.
Janelle James
Sure.
Langston Kerman
She was 80s.
Janelle James
She was 80s, though.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Okay.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. But I think.
Janelle James
And that's where that reference came from. The old school robots.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think the robot probably existed by that point.
David Bore
Okay. I just.
Janelle James
And that's what I'd like our current robots to look like. But they done took it too far.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
I don't want robots walking around where I can't tell you. Not a robot. I don't want.
David Bore
I don't want you looking lightweight. Swole. I don't want that either.
Langston Kerman
I like them thick. You know what I mean? I liked when. When robots expand. Please. Yeah. When they look like big old Magnavox TVs back with TVs had it fast.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I want a thick ass robot.
Janelle James
Okay. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And I'm not going to run from my phrasing. I want them to be sturdy the way they were supposed to be so that if I need to shoot it, I'm not going to miss. I want to fucking.
David Bore
I want to pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Yes.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
Question. Why would you. What are you shooting a robot with that you think will incapacitate it?
Langston Kerman
I don't know. I'm not. I haven't advanced.
David Bore
The revolution hasn't begun yet.
Janelle James
Like what are we fighting these things with?
Langston Kerman
Look. Human innovation is going to also advance in response to what is coming. And ultimately we're going to have some robots.
Janelle James
How exhausting.
Langston Kerman
It stinks.
Janelle James
I just want to go to Pilates and eat Takis with my friends.
David Bore
Come on.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
I think that we can talk and
Janelle James
fall in love and what else is like look at a river. I don't know.
David Bore
Is that the order?
Janelle James
So many things.
David Bore
Yeah, that's a good order.
Janelle James
Look at a river. Don't that sound better than training for a robot war, fellas.
Langston Kerman
It does sound better.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I think what you're describing sounds like actual peace.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Tranquility, humanity.
David Bore
Yeah. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Minus those Takis. Everything sounds natural.
Janelle James
If you need some excitement. Takis.
David Bore
That's enough.
Janelle James
You said. Oh, that's too boring. Fucking in rivers. Takis right here just to send you up.
David Bore
Yeah. It's too boring. Eat too.
Janelle James
Eat too. Light up your life with Takis.
David Bore
You can't handle it. Pussy. Right.
Janelle James
We gotta start rebranding other shit. Start rebranding other shit for man. Jealous.
Langston Kerman
Can't look at a lake.
David Bore
How many. How many turkeys you eat at once?
Janelle James
Can't take in the beauty.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
Your heart. You can't.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
What you know about nature's majesty?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
Not a thing.
Langston Kerman
You're scared to get tranquil.
David Bore
I cried off a bald eagle yesterday.
Janelle James
I mean, we could definitely say they're afraid to fall in love.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, they.
Janelle James
They don't even look at the love part. They're looking at the pain after something may happen.
Langston Kerman
And I would say love. The. The hardest and most dangerous game of them all.
Janelle James
Exactly. And they not out.
David Bore
The most dangerous game is man.
Langston Kerman
Fair enough. Man in love. That's fuego.
Janelle James
That's. The most dangerous game for women is man in love.
Langston Kerman
That's Blue Heat.
Janelle James
Oh, boy. I don't want to play that game. But yes.
Langston Kerman
What do you think about falling in love with robots? Because that's also going to be snorks off the shelf.
Janelle James
Hey, have at it.
David Bore
That's already happening.
Janelle James
Hey, keep em inside. I'm okay with that.
David Bore
These chatgpt girlfriends are ruining these young boys.
Janelle James
Oh, well, that's different. I don't. I feel like it's back around to the pandemic which stunted a lot of people.
David Bore
Yeah. They.
Janelle James
Which have in turn turning people who wouldn't have been dorks into dorks. I feel for them.
David Bore
I never thought about it that way. It really. It raised their numbers.
Janelle James
Yeah, that's a good point. I feel bad for those. I'm talking about the homegrown dorks who just like you said, ain't never showered. Just not.
David Bore
We're gonna fall in love with the robot.
Janelle James
We needed something for them anyway. You know what I mean? The people who are programming robots that they can fall in love with. Oh, I'm gonna make it look like a girl and give it breasts. And those are dorks. These kids who were in isolation and never got to socialize and are we're living online anyway, whose brains haven't Fully functional, formed yet and are falling in love with. I don't think they're dorks. I think they're a cautionary tale inside.
Langston Kerman
You think I've lived a hard experience and are trying to.
Janelle James
Have you spoken to like a 19, 20, 22?
Langston Kerman
No, I'm trying to avoid it, but I'm just saying.
Janelle James
Well, I do a lot of colleges and I do Q and A after
David Bore
we did a college together.
Janelle James
We did.
David Bore
And I felt like they were dead eyed.
Commercial/Ad Voice
For sure.
David Bore
Sure. Yeah.
Janelle James
When was that? Was that pre or. Or that was pre.
David Bore
No, that was after. That was only like a. That was like two. That was the last college gig I did.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
Cuz after that I was like, I don't think I really need to.
Janelle James
Yeah. Why? Hey, I love doing colleges.
David Bore
You know what it is? Did you go to college?
Janelle James
No.
David Bore
Me either.
Janelle James
Okay, now look at me now.
David Bore
You don't got to do it. Kids.
Janelle James
I will say, let me will say I went to many colleges.
Langston Kerman
I never.
David Bore
But you're familiar with the experience.
Janelle James
I never lived on campus or anything.
Langston Kerman
Oh, you were like driving in for college.
Janelle James
Yeah, I was trying, but I was poor, so. Yeah, I was like, I'd rather make money.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Always.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
I think when I go to a college, my back is against the wall because I'm like, I have some chip on my shoulder that I made up. I did fine for myself. But I'm like, these college kids, what do they know of life? What do they know of pain and suffering? It's like, bro, calm down. They're 20.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, they don't. Yeah.
Janelle James
Why you beefing with 20 year olds?
Langston Kerman
It's actually really cool.
David Bore
I'm really beeping with myself. It's inner demons. Yeah, well, yeah, we're working on it.
Janelle James
You know it just like the blue. You know it. As long as you know it, you work on it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, we're gonna get that blue out of you. We're gonna get that hate out of you. We're gonna get you.
David Bore
But yeah, identify the triggers.
Janelle James
And I talk to them and they're. They're in dire straits, you know.
David Bore
Is it bad out there?
Janelle James
Yeah, it is.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
They went to.
David Bore
You have to call attention to.
Janelle James
They spent their formula flirting and socializing years inside.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, they're not fucking.
Janelle James
They're not.
David Bore
That is tough.
Janelle James
They not speaking to each other. They have no third spaces to hang out. Nobody gives a fuck. I think that's the worst part.
David Bore
Everything is like. Yeah, everything is like. It's so pro capitalist too that everything
Janelle James
they found out their parents Hate them. So many parents were like, get these fucking kids out of here.
Langston Kerman
We made all those videos yelling at them and then posting it on the Internet.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
It's like. You know what I mean?
Langston Kerman
Like, imagine how many of the kids that got that did something bad in school, and then their dad gave them a fucked up haircut and videotaped it and put it back, and now they're men.
Janelle James
I forgot about that. They were made during the embarrass your kids, bro.
David Bore
Those videos are being people.
Janelle James
I can't.
David Bore
Those videos make me feel bad, bro.
Langston Kerman
That's fucked up.
Janelle James
And you know what that makes you do? Build a robot.
David Bore
Build a robot to kill your dad.
Janelle James
To kill your freaking dad, who's training with other doors anyway.
Langston Kerman
Okay, now give him a boat.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
So many things to be fixed before the robots gain sentience.
Langston Kerman
Y' all gotta apologize to your kids, and then hopefully that will make them stop building the robots.
David Bore
You have to let him shave your head because it's the only way he'll go to manhood at this point. Yep. You created that bridge he has to walk over.
Janelle James
I love how sincere your face is. You're like, hey, guys.
David Bore
Hey, guys. I said that like, that's our audience.
Janelle James
Hey, guys. We're gonna take a moment to say, hey, fellas.
David Bore
Hey, you know what's not cool?
Langston Kerman
Hey, put down the ball for a second, boys. Let me talk to you straight.
Janelle James
Bring it in.
David Bore
Let's rest. All right.
Langston Kerman
We should take one more break, I think.
David Bore
Okay, we'll take one more, and then
Janelle James
we'll do My Mama Told.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, we'll do more, Janelle. More. My Mama Told me. Since he got out, bad things keep happening.

David Bore
We are back. I feel like I just snorted cocaine or something.
Janelle James
I'm so excited.
David Bore
And I never did that before. For the record. For the record. For the record.
Janelle James
For the record.
Langston Kerman
He hit that beat, though.
Janelle James
I have seen that one.
David Bore
He hit it hard. It was good.
Janelle James
He's like, did you just try it? Because you sound like you're on it right now.
Langston Kerman
He's yapped out of his mind.
Janelle James
That would be another conspiracy theory that I have. Like, okay, everyone's on coke.
David Bore
Whoa.
Janelle James
Like openly.
Langston Kerman
I think that's fair.
David Bore
In entertainment or in general?
Janelle James
In general, in our government. In entertainment. I mean, in entertainment. I know because I see it.
David Bore
Yeah. Yeah.
Janelle James
But there's been so many instances of people in our with the Joke. Rubbing the gums, like, right on camera.
Langston Kerman
They're doing it where they're, like, doing this shit.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
And then boom. Booger boogers showing. Like, everybody is coked up. It's wild.
David Bore
I think that it's a lot more prevalent than I was led to believe as a kid. Like, when I was a kid, I feel like it was, like, seemed to be this very extreme fringe thing. And as soon as I got, like, outside, I feel like it was like, I was like.
Janelle James
But that's because that was the active campaign against crack, which is true. So coke got pushed to this. I like, oh, that's a designer thing.
Langston Kerman
That only.
Janelle James
That's a, you know, only. Only party people do that. And in Hollywood and. Yeah. And so we all focused on crackheads.
David Bore
That's true. Because I don't think I even thought about powder cocaine. It was like. But I remember. I remember the dare, and then, like, I remember people coming to the Boys and Girls club to talk to us. It was always rock croaking.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Damn.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
No, I, I, I don't disagree. I do think. I mean, we've seen so much evidence of it literally on camera now. But then on top of that existing in the world, there are so many people where you go, like, I think he's on coke.
Janelle James
Yeah, I think you are.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
What's up with you?
Langston Kerman
And I'm not mad at you, truly. Most of the time, I'm like, all right, you made a crazy choice, but here we are.
David Bore
But, like, it's funny. It's funny to be the year on coach a lot of times.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
What a bowling alley. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's a lot of energy, my man.
David Bore
Go crazy,
Langston Kerman
Janelle. We get voicemails from our listeners, and we're gonna listen to it.
David Bore
They're usually kind of drunk. A lot.
Langston Kerman
A lot of drunk callers. We can play it now.
Janelle James
This is drunk debates. We having.
David Bore
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time. All right, so. So I'm gonna get straight to it.
Langston Kerman
I'm new to the podcast. Okay.
David Bore
But I've been thinking.
Langston Kerman
People be talking about it's a. It's a spiritual warfare going on, and it's been scientifically proven that we get earth from the energy.
David Bore
I'm sorry.
Langston Kerman
We get energy from the earth. Okay, that makes more sense. Thank God. Everywhere you go, there's no shoes, no shirt, no surgery.
David Bore
Nervous pause. That's not everywhere I go.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, the nice restaurants don't have to put that on the outside.
Janelle James
But is he still just. Cause they don't tell you it's Assumed.
Langston Kerman
It is assumed.
David Bore
That is. That's true.
Janelle James
It is always assumed. Gearing up to be against that.
David Bore
It is.
Langston Kerman
That's fair. That's fair. We're being judgmental.
Janelle James
I'm such a Libra. I'm like, but what if I win?
Langston Kerman
No, you're right.
David Bore
You're right.
Janelle James
I'm so annoyed.
Langston Kerman
We're being judgmental. We should hear him out. Finish your statement.
David Bore
I'm also never tested to that.
Langston Kerman
Oh, you've never been bold enough to be. No shoes.
David Bore
I'm not wearing a shirt or shoes or shirt.
Janelle James
Had Ocean Prime. I'm gonna walk in. You don't know.
David Bore
Get out of my dream. If I was the man that I wanted to be.
Janelle James
No shirt at Ocean.
Langston Kerman
You want to walk in, no shirt chain on. Wow.
Janelle James
Huge.
Langston Kerman
Huge. You know that Cuban chain is a shirt.
David Bore
Yeah. You know that Cuban where you're like, I could kill a man with the clasp on this Cuban.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. David. And go out, wah, wah, wah, wah, bah. Your finger get caught in there, it's coming off. Yeah.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Janelle James
That sounds way more fun than war.
David Bore
Yeah. Oh, my God. No shit. At Ocean Pride.
Janelle James
That's living.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
I'm probably singing.
Janelle James
What you singing?
Langston Kerman
You're doing too much. You're drawing attention to yourself.
Janelle James
When's your birthday? Let me use that before you.
David Bore
Cigarette mayo. May 5th. I was singing Strawberry Letter 23 before Langston got in the car today.
Janelle James
Nice.
David Bore
And then I tried to change it to cooler stuff.
Langston Kerman
You did change it to cool stuff.
Janelle James
I did change Ocean Prime. No shirt.
David Bore
Ocean prime. No shirt.
Janelle James
Huge Cuban link.
David Bore
Huge Cuban link. Strawberry later 23 is playing.
Langston Kerman

David Bore
And I'm smoking in Ocean Prime.
Janelle James
I can see it.
David Bore
I'm smoking in Ocean.
Langston Kerman
Cigar. You got a cigar? What are you doing? Weed. Weed. Fuck. But like.
David Bore
But like, huge. Like one of those belly joints.
Janelle James
It sound like a Rick Ross video.
David Bore
Remember? Yeah.
Langston Kerman
This is awesome.
David Bore
He took it from me. He took it for me.
Janelle James
Hello, my love.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
All right.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I think even in my wildest dreams, I take my shirt off at the table.
David Bore
Oh, you don't walk in.
Langston Kerman
I don't think I walk in that way. I think I get comfortable. And then I take my shirt off.
Janelle James
You have a manic episode.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
Cause that's what that's gonna look like later.
Langston Kerman
Comes back, would you like.
Janelle James
Oh, something's happened.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, something's happening. That's what you're doing.
Janelle James
That's what you're doing.
David Bore
And now you don't.
Langston Kerman
They don't know how to deal with it. So they just let it ride.
Janelle James
They just let it r. But.
Langston Kerman
But I never made some calls. They've probably called somebody. They've told security to keep an eye.
David Bore
Oh, you gotta dream big.
Janelle James
You just wanna cause chaos. You're not living life. He not going for pleasure. You going to start some shit.
Langston Kerman
I do think. I do think at my core, maybe I am more. More interested in shenanigans than pleasure.
Janelle James
Yeah.
David Bore
It's one of my favorite qualities about you.
Langston Kerman
Thanks, man.
Janelle James
My dream is.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Janelle James
Also, no shirt.
Langston Kerman
Okay.
Janelle James
Mendoza, bother me.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That's awesome.
Janelle James
Titties to the sun.
David Bore
Yeah, man.
Langston Kerman
If that's awesome.
David Bore
If we could live in that world,
Janelle James
how simple that was. Didn't need a chain or nothing. Just some titties. Outside.
David Bore
We didn't even have a background song.
Langston Kerman
It'd be nice to have a chain.
Janelle James
Yeah, but I don't want that tan line.
David Bore
It's also like, the titties is the chain.
Janelle James
You know, the titties is the chain. Enough adornment.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Beautiful titties is the chain. Yeah.
Janelle James
Yeah. That'd be nice.
David Bore

Janelle James
It may be some ocean prom.

Okay, come on, come on, come on. Get the cocktail. Get the shrimp cocktail. You know what?
Langston Kerman
We'll take it to go. I want to eat outside.
Janelle James
Men are just like, nice and keep it moving.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Is that cool? If they're just like, oh, nice.
Janelle James
Nice. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
Nice is good. I love a compliment.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Keep it moving.
David Bore
Right, right, right.
Janelle James
That's my dream anyway.
David Bore
That's a pretty good dream.
Langston Kerman
All right, let's let the gentleman finish this thought. So you gotta wear shoes to do anything to be included in society. So everywhere you go, you got these shoes on. The rubber tell them is not a conductor. And all of the shoes got rubber soles.
David Bore
Facts.
Langston Kerman
So the energy can't get through from the earth to your body because you got these rubber soles on your feet all day. So they. They attacking the spirit. Take your time, brother. Top Heavy Official on Instagram. My rap.
David Bore
Okay. Yeah. Let's go.
Langston Kerman
Let's go.
David Bore
Shout out to Op Heavy official.
Janelle James
Write that down for me. I'm gonna check it out with him.
David Bore
That's the first time anybody's done that.
Langston Kerman
Nobody plugs their shit.
David Bore
Nobody's ever done that before.
Langston Kerman
Shout out to Top Heavy Official, man.
Janelle James
Top Heavy official.
David Bore
Is that a big titties reference?
Langston Kerman
Maybe?
Janelle James
Top Heavy.
Langston Kerman
Top Heavy.
David Bore
What is.
Langston Kerman
I think Top Heavy.
Janelle James
Top Heavy is titties.
Langston Kerman
Or he might be big. He might be a big guy, but
David Bore
he's like, nah, I'll see you at Ocean Prime.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Yeah.
Janelle James
Well, I'm gonna find out after this.
Langston Kerman
Are y' all barefoot a lot?
Janelle James
No, not as much as I would like to be actually in the house.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
You're barefoot even in the house. I got shoes on. Yeah, I got inside shoes.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Oh, you switch it up?
Janelle James
Yeah, I switch up at the door.
David Bore
Yeah, I get that.
Langston Kerman
You got that, Mr. Robin Rogers.
Janelle James
I do. I do.
Langston Kerman
You put on a cardigan and some different shoes now. You're comfy.
Janelle James
Yeah, I'm. I'm. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I like that. No, I'm. I'm not as barefoot as I would
David Bore
like to be at the beach. I go barefoot. Although I just got these water shoes, but they're. They're not.
Janelle James
Everything's dangerous now, so we gotta.
David Bore
Yeah, I mean, the. I was wearing them when we were at the beach.
Langston Kerman
You had on the water shoe. I was barefoot at the beach.
David Bore
Yeah. Yeah, the water shoes, man. Fucking shit filled with sand. But no, I would like.
Janelle James
Because you should be barefoot. That's what the brother was saying.
Langston Kerman
That's what he's saying.
Janelle James
They put shoes on us.
David Bore
I think it's important. I think he's right. I think it's probably good.
Janelle James
Touch the earth.
David Bore
People say that grounding right for your bare feet to touch the raw. Not like concrete, but like the raw earth is like, it's supposed to be good for you.
Langston Kerman
I'll say this. The most I feel like I can do a cartwheel is when I have my bare feet.
Janelle James
Nice. You know what I mean? Which could also be an analogy for. For living.
David Bore
This.
Janelle James
This earth feels so good. I feel like I could cartwheel right now.
Langston Kerman
Do a cartwheel now. I won't because I'm 39 years old. This is risky behavior.
David Bore
Did you have a cartwheel?
Janelle James
You've wasted. Wasted wheels.
David Bore
You still. You look like a round dog. That's a light.
Janelle James
It's a light sk.
David Bore
That's a light. Ice skin tumble.
Janelle James
You saying the dog brothers ain't got. Can't real, though. You flipping.
Langston Kerman
And that's true. I did not do full flip. I did front flips. I couldn't do back flips.
David Bore
You could do a front flip.
Langston Kerman
I could do a front flip.
David Bore
You think you still got it?
Langston Kerman
I did it at Sky Zone not six months ago. Damn.
David Bore
Okay. Yeah, okay.
Langston Kerman
And I was scared, and I didn't know if I could.
David Bore
Did you.
Langston Kerman
But I did a lot of them.
David Bore
Did you do the first one? Did you make your wife watch?
Langston Kerman
She wasn't there. And that's the only reason I had the courage.
David Bore
Okay.
Janelle James
That's all I can do.
Langston Kerman
I was with strangers.
David Bore
By yourself?
Langston Kerman
No, I was with. I was with someone on tour.
David Bore
Oh.
Langston Kerman
And in that way felt. Felt distant enough from accountability.
David Bore
Activities sometimes are like that.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You gotta have community.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
We're all doing sky zone stuff, so.
Janelle James
Try it.
David Bore
Yeah. And you had it.
Langston Kerman
Like you still had a little front flip in it.
David Bore
All right.
Janelle James
I love that.
David Bore
Yeah.
Janelle James
Adult whimsy. Love it.
Langston Kerman
Find it.
Janelle James
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Take your shoes.
Janelle James
But you've been wasting time with shoes is what the brother is saying. You could have been rounding off your whole life.
Langston Kerman
I think maybe I stunted my growth. I could have found that backflip.
Janelle James
You maybe would have been able to do it in front of your wife.
Langston Kerman
Yes. And now we know each other as lovers in a different way. Our relationship is growing.
David Bore
You think a flip would have added to your lovemaking skills?
Janelle James
Think?
Langston Kerman
I think if she. I think if she don't want to that night, that's on her.
Janelle James
I see a well executed round off. I'm ready to go. Okay.
Langston Kerman
Get them titties up. Janelle, I think we did it. I think we did everything we needed to do together. Could you tell the people where they could find you? What?
Janelle James
Yeah, you can find me on Abbott Elementary. We're back in the fall. You can find me online. Janelle James. Comedy most places except where grok at. And it makes me too sad to go over there. Instant sadness. And you can also find me on my new Netflix special that will be coming out hopefully this fall. First one hour special. You can find me before that. If you just. A lot of people don't know I'm a stand up. That's amazing. Yeah, a lot of people, they only know me from Abbott.
David Bore
Oh, that's fair.
Janelle James
And so, yeah, if you want to see my.
Langston Kerman
You had a very big introduction to
David Bore
the world and you had your own comedy festival.
Janelle James
I had my own comedy. A lot of people don't know a lot about. And that's by design, I guess. But yeah, I've been kind of seclusion and I had the fan base I wanted, which is comedy fans. It's hard to switch over to non comedy fans.
David Bore
That seems scary.
Janelle James
Yeah, it is a little scary. But I have faith in how good I am, I guess.
Langston Kerman
And you know, go, go.
Janelle James
So yeah, watch that when that comes out.
Langston Kerman
Follow Janelle, watch the special.
Janelle James

Langston Kerman
No, I love it.
Janelle James
I hope to catch you with no shirt on at a restaurant near you.
David Bore

Langston Kerman
I'll go no shirt with you this summer.
David Bore
All right, but I'm talking about the restaurant.
Janelle James

Podcast: My Momma Told Me (Big Money Players Network & iHeartPodcasts)
Hosts: Langston Kerman & David Gborie
Guest: Janelle James
Release Date: June 2, 2026
This lively episode takes on the conspiracy "Robots are Evil," with comedian and Abbott Elementary star Janelle James joining Langston and David for a hilarious, skeptical, and surprisingly philosophical dive into tech paranoia, nerd culture, masculinity, Black history, and generational trauma. The conversation is peppered with side discussions—on Michael Jackson, Takis, blue foods, and coming-of-age stories—blending absurd conspiracy talk with real social insight and plenty of memorable laughs.
"Brown Michael was gorgeous, he was beautiful...our eyes are the same. And high cheekbones." – Janelle James ([02:50])
"That's also a statement on how bad medical care is for women right now." – Janelle James ([09:05])
"Culture changed. Like, we literally became new people, all of us, because of what happened." – Langston Kerman ([12:09])
Janelle declares, "Robots are evil. I don’t even think that’s a conspiracy theory." ([18:02])
The group breaks down:
Notable Quotes:
"We didn’t just make a robot race...they’re the worst of us inside a machine." – Janelle James ([18:36])
"Why’d you have to give it a personality and let it adopt? Why couldn’t we keep it fully functional?" – David Gborie ([19:35])
"They’ve all had makeovers and they still look dorky." – Janelle James, on tech billionaires ([21:50])
"How bad is your life that you would rather be at war?" – Janelle James ([29:31])
"I want a thick ass robot...so that if I need to shoot it, I’m not gonna miss." – Langston Kerman ([48:15])
The “Robots Are Evil” episode most notably exposes our anxieties about technology, masculinity, and social change, and how—through jokes and cultural commentary—Black comedians process and critique the strange world we’re living in. Despite the wild conspiracy premise, the takeaway is more about community, empathy, and the importance of human connections in an increasingly digitized and isolated age.
