Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
David Bore
That would have helped, huh?
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
I'm trying to expand the songs I sing before we sing.
Langston Kerman
We do need a new palette.
David Bore
I think so.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
Anyways, did you ever put bologna on a police car?
Gary Anthony Williams
No. No.
David Bore
Okay.
Gary Anthony Williams
No. I grew up in the south, man, and we were poor. We couldn't waste our bologna.
David Bore
That's fair.
Gary Anthony Williams
How you spend all that money on loney meat just to pull on a police car?
David Bore
I don't think it's all that money.
Gary Anthony Williams
Expensive bologna meat. You laughing now? You sound like a man who could eat bologna whenever he wanted to.
David Bore
I'm independently wealthy.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, you are. I got bolog, then slaughtered our own hogs to make our meat. Y' all out here buying baloney? Whoa.
David Bore
Are you from, like, a farm fart?
Gary Anthony Williams
Y' all buying baloney?
Langston Kerman
God damn.
Gary Anthony Williams
Y' all like skins out there. Oh, yeah. Throwing money away on baloney, mate. Oh, just like the white man.
David Bore
I had a dream this happened. We were all dressed different.
Gary Anthony Williams
I think.
Langston Kerman
We haven't done any of our formalities. We haven't done a Proper introduction.
David Bore
No, we have to start it.
Langston Kerman
But I will say, I cannot think of a better way to start than that. Impre that, that, that voice.
David Bore
Come on.
Gary Anthony Williams
I can't think of a worse way to start. First of all, y' all got like the United Colors of Negroton over here. Oh, we got the light skin one over here. Oh, I'm partially all right. Cause clearly there's some white lineage in my family. And then we got straight out of the jungle smelling like coconut juice. As he said, Marcus is a horrible person.
Langston Kerman
But I want that your work, your history in comedy. I struggle to think of somebody who has informed my pleasures. My want to be a part of this community more. A brilliant actor, writer, comedian, everything you can imagine. Gary Anthony Williams, everybody.
David Bore
And I ain't playing, nigga.
Gary Anthony Williams
Who said it? Just a great guy, you know, just someone you are.
Langston Kerman
I think so.
Gary Anthony Williams
Someone you just want to have a non alcoholic beer with. Come on.
David Bore
There's gin in this.
Gary Anthony Williams
But, oh, no, I drink the booze. Covid taught me how to drink booze today.
Langston Kerman
We thought it would be a good start. To ask you a little bit about your relationship to conspiracy theory.
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm not almost in the stuff we were talking about earlier.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I'm not that much in the.
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm more of a science based dude. So when stuff happens, like the stuff we were just talking about that I can't explain, I know that they're just stuff that I don't know and can't explain. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist, dude.
David Bore
Okay. You don't think people are conspiring as much as you think. There's just different levels of science.
Gary Anthony Williams
Give me some examples and I'll tell you what I think of each one of them.
David Bore
Okay.
Gary Anthony Williams
But in general, I don't believe that much in conspiracy theories.
Langston Kerman
You've been a part of Hollywood for a long time.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You said you moved here in 98.
Gary Anthony Williams
I moved here in 98 and I was already working back in Atlanta before I moved out here.
Langston Kerman
So you've been a dude in the industry for a long time. There were constantly conspiracy theories specifically relating to, I would say black people, black men. As it relates to, like, becoming successful in Hollywood and like, what was it, the pink mafia? And the suggestion that you somehow have to associate yourself with queerness or put on a dress in order to achieve greatness?
Gary Anthony Williams
I mean, I didn't have to. There are choices you can make. Let me just say that. And this is not conspiracy, but this is a rapper thing about gayness. Years ago, I got a phone call from my buddy. He was like, hey, man, Erykah Badu wants to have dinner with you. And I was like, what? Or that was me, twins skin tone. Safe.
Langston Kerman
Come on.
Gary Anthony Williams
And I was like, what are you talking about? She's like, no, she saw this thing you and Cedric Yarbrough did, and she wants to have dinner with you. Come to her house and blah, blah. So I go to this house, and.
David Bore
You'Ve already been hanging out with witches.
Gary Anthony Williams
And. Yeah, look, I'm very comfortable with witches. Yeah, I really am. I go to her house, witches love me. Hey, I got nothing against witches. And most robots. Most of them, we'll tow them out. We'll tow them out. So I go to her. Why were we talking about. Oh, yes. I go to her house and we have dinner and everybody has fun. And then, like, the next day, she's like, hey, I'm gonna be hosting the soul train music awards. I think it was r. Naacp. One of them. One of the colored awards. And I want you and Cedric, I want you to write for me. Write all my comedy bits.
Langston Kerman
Amazing.
Gary Anthony Williams
Great. We get there, and then I start meeting all these people I never could have met in my life and all these rappers and what I learned about every rapper that I met. Everybody in the music industry, they all have a gay team. Every one of them have gay hair or gay wardrobe, whatever it is. They all have a gay team. And then I hear them rapping like, the opposite of that. It's like, shut.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't hate this.
David Bore
I see who just made.
Gary Anthony Williams
Who's making your money for you right now.
David Bore
Treece bought you that hoodie.
Gary Anthony Williams
Come on. That was. That was, like, literally eye opening to me. Okay, okay.
David Bore
It is your level of, like, show in that shit. And. And if I also though, Erica, if you do want to come on, we would love it.
Langston Kerman
And if you need somebody to write for whatever you got going on, we'll. We'll.
Gary Anthony Williams
Erica by New Israel.
David Bore
Amazing.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, dog.
David Bore
Come on. Like, she would be a single mom when baduism dropped. You ain't gotta tell me.
Gary Anthony Williams
We would be working all day, writing, like, all day, seriously. And, like, it's nighttime. It's like midnight one. Whatever. Good night. And then we woke up the next morning, she's like, oh, I have a new idea for the show. I wrote this song. I was like, when did you write a song?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Cause we just all went to bed and we just all woke up and were writing again. When did you do that? She's Like, I found time. Like, she would do crazy magic things. She was riding with my buddy in a helicopter. In a helicopter. And she asked.
Langston Kerman
Flying alongside.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yes. The guy, hey, can I fly? Can I fly the helicopter? And he goes, oh, you have a license? She goes, yeah. She took over the fucking controls of the helicopter and flew the helicopter. That's Erykah Badu. A helicopter's not even like a plane. The helicopter is. You're using both hands and both feet to fly this.
Langston Kerman
No, you have to know what the fuck you're doing.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
She ain't never flown a helicopter in her life, man. That's Badu, man.
David Bore
We've been.
Gary Anthony Williams
She's amazing.
David Bore
That is amazing.
Langston Kerman
That is amazing. It really upsets me that she. It is both beautiful and upsetting that those stories are going to die with her much in the way that Prince did, where, like, I think she's intentionally sort of, like, protective of, like, of her shit. And I think it's beautiful. She deserves that. But damn, I want to know everything about this lady.
Gary Anthony Williams
You will never know all about this. She started in comedy. That's what you don't know about it. She said she did music because the music thing hit before comedy hit, or else she would have been doing comedy.
Langston Kerman
Whoa.
David Bore
She's from Dallas, right?
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, she's Texas. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I'm glad she didn't do comedy.
Gary Anthony Williams
She's amazing. But I'm glad she. I. Yeah, she's great.
Langston Kerman
She's music.
Gary Anthony Williams
She.
Langston Kerman
She should be a funny musician way more than she should be.
David Bore
She had funny songs, though.
Langston Kerman
She had definitely.
Gary Anthony Williams
Even go call Tyrone. Look, Tyrone is hilarious, but you talking about the Pink Mafia, the conspiracy theories, that's how I got off track.
Langston Kerman
No, but I hear you that it sounds like what you're saying is a lot of this is performative, that it isn't actually a belief that people hold. It's more just a theory that is like a way to engage an audience kind of thing.
Gary Anthony Williams
I think so. I never had to sleep with anybody there to somebody gay to get a job. But I do remember one time I might cancel. What's his name? What's his name?
David Bore
I gotta rethink a strategy.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, no, no, you can't. Oh, God. What's his will? Dang, dang, dang, dang. Handsome actor. Mahogany Morris Chestnut. No, no. Oh, oh. Lando Calrissian.
David Bore
Oh, Billy Dee Williams.
Gary Anthony Williams
Billy Dee Williams.
Langston Kerman
Billy Dee, our hero.
Gary Anthony Williams
I was doing a movie with Billy Dee one time and I was fucking around. I was like, man, I'm sick of Casting couch. He was like, I can't tell you how many times I had to sleep with someone for a job. I was like, are you serious, Billy D. Yeah. All of these women, like, all these female casting directors were in his younger days.
David Bore
He's the guy from the commercial.
Gary Anthony Williams
And he was like, that's actually fucking crazy. I can't tell you how many times I had to sleep with someone for a job. Like, what? That's real.
Langston Kerman
That's so cool.
Gary Anthony Williams
I would have had back in the day before I was, you know, hooked up with a dog.
David Bore
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Like, yes, let's sleep with me for this job. Every man wants to get slept with.
Langston Kerman
But we talk about this all the time, that there is something. There's something in his character that made it so that he had the strength to know, to do that. And unfortunately, you, me, all three of us, we ain't got that energy.
Gary Anthony Williams
No. We ain't have that. Look, ain't nobody.
Langston Kerman
You do. You do. But it's more than trying to sleep.
Gary Anthony Williams
With me for a job. They will say, sir, if you stop trying to sleep with us, we will.
David Bore
Give you the job, which is its own power.
Gary Anthony Williams
You couldn't be more talented. Unlike when the government pays farmers not to grow corn, they're like, we will pay you to not come on to us for this trip.
David Bore
You like the sugar industry?
Langston Kerman
We gotta put these frogs down. Let's introduce an invasive species to make this go away.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, man.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I do think some people just have that mindset where they're like, no, I can flip this into.
David Bore
And that's the problem. I don't have an abundance mindset when it comes to sex. I have a scarcity mindset.
Langston Kerman
I think we're almost running out all the time. Yeah.
David Bore
Yeah. I think it's. I'm worried more about.
Langston Kerman
Wait a minute.
Gary Anthony Williams
What's going on, guys? What's that?
Langston Kerman
We're both married men, so we're not.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, same here.
Langston Kerman
We're not doing anything. But.
Gary Anthony Williams
No. Yeah. Let's say the old. Yeah.
David Bore
When I was in it. When I was in it. Yeah. I don't know. I just always treated it like I was never one of those guys that, like, put it everywhere.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, me either. Yeah.
David Bore
I was always like, thank you so much.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh. I was always a nerd and a shy nerd. Like, I was shy my whole life, so I didn't know what I was doing.
David Bore
I was boisterous but not dick confident. I was like. I just was really good at talking.
Langston Kerman
Big in a room, in a gym. Generic Sense.
David Bore
And then you get it there and then you're like, oh, oh, you're still trying to make jokes.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
You know how many times like, it's not that funny when they're naked. Any. You know what I mean?
Langston Kerman
You can't be like, oh, no more bits.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's a good joke. Women love that.
David Bore
You know what it doesn't make you do is orgasm.
Gary Anthony Williams
It does not. No, no, no.
David Bore
You have to actually put in some work for that.
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm going to have to ask. I'm going to go down my list. List of the few women that I've ever slept with in my life and just knock, knock that time. Remember that knock knock joke when we was making love?
Langston Kerman
I knocked on your. You said who said?
Gary Anthony Williams
You said who.
David Bore
That sometimes you put it in the ocean. You say, I hear Newport Beach.
Gary Anthony Williams
See there now. Every woman would love that.
David Bore
That's not true.
Gary Anthony Williams
Every woman would love that. I really appreciate the vagina echoes. Every woman would love to hear.
David Bore
Yeah, no, hello.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, that might not be good.
David Bore
No, no, no, that's the. It's there. Is it too funny for getting laid? I think people. People. Yeah, Yeah, I do think so. I think there are some people who are like. And it's not always comedians, but I think there are some people who are so committed to what is funny and what is not.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, that's the thing that they get themselves out. You gotta know how to read the room.
Langston Kerman
I think it's an on off switch more than it is like too funny. I think you can be as funny as you want to be.
Gary Anthony Williams
You just got to know when to stop.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. Now we're kissing.
Gary Anthony Williams
You got to know when to stop. Yeah, now we're kissing.
David Bore
Now we're kissing.
Gary Anthony Williams
But you can still talk and kiss. You can tell a joke while you kissing.
David Bore
That's true.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. It's knowing when to stop. Like that's just timing. That's reading the room, that's reading the situation. That's any comedian.
Langston Kerman
And I do think that there. We don't often give credit enough to how important shutting the faucet off is to comedy. That comedy is not just go, go, go, go, go, 100 jokes every second. It's like, nah, be a human being so that you can lure me into a security that then makes the next thing you say so fucking funny.
David Bore
100%. Because if people are just punching, it's so tedious. That's why it's hard to hang out with stand up sometimes where it's like.
Gary Anthony Williams
Especially when they're trying out their routine. I do improv comedy and then I.
David Bore
Used to and I feel no way about that. And that's gross.
Gary Anthony Williams
Wow. You really like literally. And I say literally now because I've been to Canada. You literally just grew in front of my eyes. It's amazing.
Langston Kerman
It's really big.
Gary Anthony Williams
I do remember though, hanging out with standups and like after their show, they are always trying to try their jokes out on you and that was very unpleasant.
Langston Kerman
It's a bummer.
David Bore
After the show, before the show. Yeah, I don't like that during the.
Gary Anthony Williams
Show, working their bits.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it really is a bummer. And especially once you've been doing it long enough that you can see the bit coming from the second it starts.
David Bore
From the way they say something.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. It's worse to me though when I'm already in the middle of like, oh crap, we're in the middle of. We're in the middle of your bit. You snuck up. You bit snuck up and got me.
Langston Kerman
I actually was engaged in a conversation.
Gary Anthony Williams
Thought we were bonding because one thing.
David Bore
About, I will say about improvs and this always used to make me kind of jealous. In the early days, improv's always had more real lives than standups. Like you remember. Like I remember cause like when I first started there was a lot of like you do, they'd have like a stand up host, the improv show or whatever. And I even did improv for a little bit. But improv shows would be like, their friends and family are here. Their community came out to support them. And then standup shows are just like, we got these guys who were smoking cigarettes out front to come in. Maybe you can convince them to.
Langston Kerman
People in improv are like in committed relationships. They're like figuring their lives out.
David Bore
They have children they talk to like improv. Like how many deadbeat dad stand ups?
Langston Kerman
You know most of them.
David Bore
Come on, baby.
Langston Kerman
Trying to get there, y'.
David Bore
All.
Langston Kerman
As soon as I can.
David Bore
He's on the aspiring deadbeat dad.
Gary Anthony Williams
How many. How many kids do you have?
Langston Kerman
Two kids.
Gary Anthony Williams
And you care for them?
Langston Kerman
I care for them.
Gary Anthony Williams
That don't sound right. That. That does not sound correct. I guarantee neither. Your nappy hair children know where the hell you is right now. What your daddy do? I don't know. I never seen him.
Langston Kerman
I never seen him.
David Bore
Wait, do your kids know what you do? Well, not the older Kenzie. Does she know?
Langston Kerman
Like she knows that sometimes I'm on tv.
David Bore
Okay.
Langston Kerman
She doesn't quite understand why and she's not Interested in any of the programs I'm involved in. Thank you.
Gary Anthony Williams
That was my kid for all his life.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
He didn't like anything you read.
Gary Anthony Williams
He just didn't want.
David Bore
He didn't.
Gary Anthony Williams
He doesn't watch TV to this day. No, that's not me. That was him, like, so he never. He never cared what I did or. He didn't watch any of the shows I was on.
Langston Kerman
He won't even, like. He might.
Gary Anthony Williams
He was like, with the Boondocks. I didn't even know that it was still popular until he was either first year of college or late in high school. He was like, hey, you know, all the kids know Uncle Ruckus, right? He's like, what are you talking about? He's like, they know it. They know the Boondocks. They all watch it. They know Uncle Ruckus. Yeah, man, I didn't know it, but he didn't. He never watched it with me.
Langston Kerman
No. It's a generational.
Gary Anthony Williams
Well, now with TikTok and Instagram, like, it's.
David Bore
It's.
Gary Anthony Williams
That character of Uncle Ruckus is hotter than it was when I was originally doing it. That's nuts.
David Bore
Really.
Gary Anthony Williams
I mean, man, I make all this money doing Uncle Ruckus on the weekend, bro. I got all this Ruckus money. For real, though. Seriously. Hey, hey, look, bruh. Hey, for real, though. Shit. Hey.
Langston Kerman
He's like, hey, this podcast on me, fellas. I get a point.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, Yeah. Y' all need somebody to pay this dude over here.
David Bore
Hey, can I tell a weird story? I don't think you even remember. I knew you were rich. Me and you did a TV show together, and we were on a table read together, and you were like, what show was it? Exploding Kittens. Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
And you were like, oh, yeah, that's why you gotta get a recording booth in your house. And I was like, that gonna make you.
Gary Anthony Williams
You can do that for cheap.
David Bore
That's how you made it sound. I was in a townhome in the Valley when it happened.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. I ain't got nothing to get one in your house.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
You know, my recording booth was cheap, dude.
David Bore
How much?

I was about to have somebody build it out for me and this. This guy from out loud. Audio goes, whoa, whoa, whoa. I got a friend who refurbishes booths and sets them up in your house. And I call the dude. He's like, I can find you one. Find you one. This booth would have been like, 15, 20 grand. And I think I got it for $5,000. It paid for itself immediately.
David Bore
$5,000. Not a lot of money to us in this room. No, we all have tons of money. More than $5,000.
Gary Anthony Williams
Look, man, you've got to invest in investing in yourself.
David Bore
No, you're right.
Gary Anthony Williams
You're right. You got to invest in investing. I don't know what that means. No, I just do that word you got to invest and invest it in yourself.
Langston Kerman
And I think you did exactly what you needed to do you to him, exactly the way he needed to hear.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, he needs. You need some talking down too.
Langston Kerman
You needed somebody to talk yourself up.
Gary Anthony Williams
By the bootstrap and then get talked down to, then try to pick yourself up again.
Langston Kerman

Gary Anthony Williams
Would like to give me some examples and I will tell you, if you don't mind. I will tell you if I'm skeptical or not. I can't think of one now that I go, yeah, that probably.
David Bore
What are our most recent episodes?
Langston Kerman
We've talked a lot about this. This I would say generally in the podcast of sort of like a, a masterminding of, of media consumption, specifically as it relates to like hip hop and how like hip hop made that drastic shift from sort of like the, the bibbidi bop dip, dibbity dop.
Gary Anthony Williams
I love that it's just me, Mike and my friend.
Langston Kerman
Move your feet into suddenly like murder and mayhem and that being like an intentional effort on the part of the music industry to feed sort of like, you know, destruction into black communities.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, the same way. Kind of like the government introducing certain drugs into black communities, that kind of thing. But in this case the drug would be black on black hip hop violence. So is that supposedly a government introducing, like steering it that way, you're saying?
David Bore
I don't think we necessarily like to say names here. I think we keep it vague. It's just the general they.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, let's talk about them.
David Bore
They them.
Gary Anthony Williams
Let's talk about them.
David Bore
It's the they them.
Gary Anthony Williams
Uh huh.
Langston Kerman
There you go. I don't agree with this devil.
Gary Anthony Williams
So if I'm reading you right, David, the LGBT community. Don't you write community. Okay. Yeah. The LGBTQ community introduced gangster rap.
David Bore
Brother.
Gary Anthony Williams
Brother. I was that what you just said.
David Bore
I was ripping. I was ripping. I was ripping.
Langston Kerman
Press the button.
David Bore
Well, I think I'm looking forward to cracking up.
Langston Kerman
See that. I hope I Can, like, you know, totally crack up.
David Bore
So I haven't, like, totally cracked up.
Langston Kerman
In a long time.
David Bore
We just needed a reset.
Gary Anthony Williams
I would love to crack. I think the.
David Bore
The.
Langston Kerman
The. The group that supposedly did it was a. Basically like a. An almost Illuminati of. Of music industry executives together.
Gary Anthony Williams
And then their point would be, what's their. What's their. What's the outcome? What's the end game?
David Bore
I think the idea is that it's easier to sell that to white people who consume.
Langston Kerman
No, it was to basically build up private prisons.
David Bore
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
That. Like, by introducing violence into a community. That. Or a. Increased violence into a community, we can increase policing and then use that policing to feed violence.
Gary Anthony Williams
I think if they want to do that, they just start arresting black people. I don't think you have to set up a whole. Where I came from, man, in the Deep south, it was a sundown kind of town, right?
David Bore
Like, what town are you from?
Gary Anthony Williams
Fayetteville, Georgia. When it was beautifully racist. You should have seen the racism dripping from every wall. And like, my uncles, they lived up in Atlanta, where it was not like that. And then we're down in this little racist town at the time, and they were like, oh, hey, getting dark. Willie. That was my dad's name. Willie. It's getting dark. We better head back up the road. Because they knew if you were black and in Fayetteville at the time, they were going to either beat you or lock you up. The police were. So you didn't have to put rap music into a community. You just did it. Yeah, same way Trump is doing it right now. Oh, they just send out some people to drag them out of the house. You ain't got to do all that.
Langston Kerman
That's fair.
Gary Anthony Williams
They didn't put that.
Langston Kerman
They didn't have to release, like, a New Atlantis Morrison like album to get white people in the streets over this ice shit.
David Bore
They just.
Gary Anthony Williams
Just do it.
Langston Kerman
They just activate.
David Bore
But we like Atlantis album.
Langston Kerman
No, no, we wouldn't be mad at Atlantis.
Gary Anthony Williams
I liked Atlantis. Martin jacket, little pill.
David Bore
Yeah, we all liked a good album. Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Thanks, guys, for those memories.
David Bore
I like it when. I like it when white ladies sing like they're running out of breath.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. I love a tired white woman.
David Bore
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Hey.
David Bore
That shit's a good time.
Gary Anthony Williams
Then the tire.
David Bore
Oh, you got them white ladies. You listening? Stay out of breath. We like that.
Langston Kerman
Stay out of breath.
Gary Anthony Williams
I was writing a book at one point, and I've never written it down, but I have it all in my head called what I've Learned from drinking with white women. And that is.
Langston Kerman
Let's go.
David Bore
I've learned a lot.
Gary Anthony Williams
I can't tell it all now till I get the books.
David Bore
You love the N word as much as us.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, they all say they. I don't think most of them do.
David Bore
I will say a drunk white woman is the first one to drop a slur in many situations. They go bad immediately. You ever worked a door? You ever worked a door? No, brother.
Gary Anthony Williams
See, but you're hanging out with the.
David Bore
Let a white lady not come in somewhere and see what she thinks about you real quick.
Langston Kerman
That does. I will say that as a comedian, when I think about, like, heckling, and specifically heckling, that derails a show. Almost always a white woman.
Gary Anthony Williams
I will tell you that a friend of mine who is a white man, and we were talking about. And I'm not gonna say who he is because I don't want his wife mad at him. But like that you're talking about of speaking up very quickly and like it loud and in somebody's face. And he was like, she doesn't understand because she's never been hit in the face before for saying stuff. And that is all his thing. Like, men will hit other men in the face sometimes. Yes. She's not expected to be hit in the face. So she can just be as loud and boisterous and say whatever she wants to.
David Bore
I don't even like insinuating hitting them in the face in this conversation right now.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, no, no, no. Trust me, trust me. I.
David Bore
My body is tight. I think I'm going to gym.
Gary Anthony Williams
I was raised. I have a mom and a daddy. I had six sisters and two brothers. So female power was very strong in my house. So the last thing I'm about to do is try to hit a woman in the face.
David Bore
No, I don't think you are. I mean, even talking about.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, but.
David Bore
No, but what he was saying makes me nervous.
Gary Anthony Williams
He was saying that the lack of threat of violence 100% is what keeps that strong. That you were saying about.
Langston Kerman
And I think that's. I think that is an unfortunate truth of the state we are all in, is that our country is now being sort of run and managed by motherfuckers who have not been hit in the face.
David Bore
Yes.
Langston Kerman
And I wish that they would have.
Gary Anthony Williams
Choked Trump out when he was a baby. So Johnny's daddy should have said, shut up and go to bed.
David Bore
That's called motherfucking bars. You know nothing about that.
Langston Kerman
I think somebody should have socked him in the face in Middle school, a lot of this behavior would have been different.
David Bore
Well, you can come back for. Cause I think you get beat up as a man, and you've never been beat up before. That's probably ego shattering.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
David Bore
But junior high school, you go back outside, somebody, they laugh at you, and then it's kind of over, bro.
Langston Kerman
Me and my friend ahrii got in a full fist fight playing basketball, and we hooped the next day.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I learned a lesson. He learned a lesson. I learned, unfortunately, more of the lesson. But that's all right.
David Bore
That's okay.
Gary Anthony Williams
Ari's strong. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He was bigger than me.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's okay. He's a big, strong guy. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
We went and played ball. I learned how to behave.
Gary Anthony Williams
I do think that there's a section of society who never. Who's never told to shut up.
David Bore
Yeah. Maybe we need to, like, white ladies need to start their own fight club.
Langston Kerman
I like this.
David Bore
White fight club.
Langston Kerman
White fight club.
David Bore
White fight club.
Langston Kerman
You're losing it. Come on, man. Stay focused.
Gary Anthony Williams
Stay focused.
David Bore
Don't look at me. Don't look at me.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, I think.
David Bore
And then we sell tickets, and that's how we get the power back, I think.
Langston Kerman
Gentlemen, we've got an industry to build together, man.
Gary Anthony Williams
We do.
Langston Kerman
Let's take a break. Let's do some brainstorming off camera.
Gary Anthony Williams
I hope somebody has a yellow legal pad. I think best when there's a yellow legal pad. That's better.
David Bore
That's better.
Langston Kerman
We're gonna get one of those, I promise.
Gary Anthony Williams
Okay.

Gary Anthony Williams
When you really break it down. We're just two honks and a Negro serving the Lord. We're just two honks and a Negro singing our song.
David Bore
And I have no feelings about that. We're back. I have nothing to unpack there.
Langston Kerman
We're still here with Gary Anthony Williams. We're talking conspiracy theories.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yes.
Langston Kerman
And the lies, the trickery behind a lot of them.
Gary Anthony Williams
I might be too hard in on science, y'. All. I might be too hard.
David Bore
I think that's probably good.
Langston Kerman
I think we need more people who actually just believe versions of facts.
David Bore
Yes.
Langston Kerman
Because I'll be honest, I'm cynical and my brain is rotten. So it gives me hope that there are still people out here who are.
Gary Anthony Williams
Like, no, I believe. So I might be ignorant. I might be ignorant, but I don't. I'm too hard on science to believe a lot of. I used to have, like, a friend with the chemtrails, and then my wife started calling it Danger dust. Ooh, Gary, watch out. This Danger Dust, like, messing with it. Cause, like, for her, it's like chemtrails had caused Covid and it caused the forest fires and everything. I was like, come on. Well.
David Bore
Cause you know what's true, too, is, like, I've seen friends lose it to conspiracy theories. Never seen somebody lose it to science.
Langston Kerman
No.
David Bore
You know what I'm saying? Like, I've had friends get deeper and deeper into conspiracy theories where they're like, you can't listen to amigos. Cause I've never seen somebody be like, you know, I was reading about photosynthesis and put that pork down or whatever. Like I never and nobody. I've never seen that happen before.
Langston Kerman
I've spent so much time negotiating with. With a hollow earth.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Do you know what I mean? Like, that's not healthy. That's not good for my, my, my well being or my children's well being. And it's nice to know that there's somebody who's just like, it is full.
Gary Anthony Williams
I might be wrong.
Langston Kerman
It's filled to the brim, the earth.
David Bore
I think it's full.
Gary Anthony Williams
I will tell you that. So like I said, I grew up down south and then there's a lot of. It's not conspiracy theory. I don't know. What would you call this? But do you know the thing of when it's raining and the sun is shining? Do you know what that means?
David Bore
The devil's beating his wife.
Gary Anthony Williams
The devil is beating his wife. Right. So me and my best friend Fry, it was raining, sun was shining, like, oh, the devil's beating his wife.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
And you're supposed to be able to take a pin, stick it in the ground, put your ear to it, and you can hear the devil beating his wife.
Langston Kerman
Jesus Christ.
David Bore
This is new. I know.
Langston Kerman
I didn't know you could access it.
David Bore
Why would you want to do that? Why?
Gary Anthony Williams
That's the.
David Bore
Aren't you curious? What? No, I'm not.
Gary Anthony Williams
Come with me and you'll be in.
David Bore
A well as somebody imagination. I don't think that's what it's gonna sound like. It's gonna be like, get over here, Virginia.
Langston Kerman
As they ask somebody who's heard somebody beat their wife.
David Bore
It ain't.
Langston Kerman
It's not.
Gary Anthony Williams
Okay, here's what we don't know. We don't. She might be beating him back. No, no. She may have the upper hand.
Langston Kerman
Okay.
Gary Anthony Williams
She may have the upper hand.
David Bore
Maybe he's little.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
Maybe he's literally.
Gary Anthony Williams
If you knew anything about the devil.
David Bore
It would be cool if the devil was a little guy with a huge wife. Yeah, yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
If thing about the devil. Yeah. It's like a southerner, like little skinny man with big old women.
David Bore
Right, right. I'm like that. That makes me like. That kind of makes me like the devil.
Langston Kerman
It makes the devil the way he behaves. Make a lot more sense if he's a little bit.
Gary Anthony Williams
He's been put down upon.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Life has been hard on the devil.
David Bore
He's henpecked at home. You think she lets him talk to people?
Gary Anthony Williams
No, she.
David Bore
You think she lets him talk to her like this?
Langston Kerman
Satan, hang up the phone. Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of that, you know what I mean? Losing of her the trash.
David Bore
She calls him Lucy.
Gary Anthony Williams
To imagine.
David Bore
Lucy ain't nobody. That's her kind of a tough sister.
Gary Anthony Williams
But that's kind of a tough name, though, Lucy. Like, if dudes were calling me Lucy. What's up, Lucy? Yeah, it's.
David Bore
But if you're little too, it might be different. It's tough.
Gary Anthony Williams
You want.
Langston Kerman
You want to be the right size.
Gary Anthony Williams
For Lucy, you gotta.
David Bore
You gotta fill out that wife beater. No pun intended.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, too soon.
David Bore
That was fair.
Gary Anthony Williams
So me and my friend Fry, we didn't have a pen, so we were like, seriously, let's dig our way to hell and see what's going on. And this is not a joke, brother. This is not a joke.
David Bore
This is crazy. This is real.
Gary Anthony Williams
We start digging in the mud, dude. And it's from Georgia, so it's red clay. And that stuff does not come out of your clothes. And we were poor. Poor, poor, poor, poor. So you get a set of clothes you're not getting. So we get covered in mud, and before we realize, oh, we're in trouble, I was like, we're gonna get our asses with me. So I walk home, he goes home, I walk in the house.
Langston Kerman
My mom's like, get in that bathtub right now.
Gary Anthony Williams
He done messed up your clothes. And then his mama calls, and I was like, I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get a whooping. But then I thought, wait. And she was like, what were you thinking? I was like, well, it was raining. The devil's beating his wife. Like, but what were you doing? Like, we were trying to dig the hell so we could stop the devil from beating his wife.
David Bore
Okay?
Gary Anthony Williams
Because, like, who. What person is gonna go, you were trying to stop someone from hitting his wife? I'm gonna now whoop you. That's. No. Oh, she wasn't gonna. She didn't whoop me up.
Langston Kerman
Sir, my hat's off to you.
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm gonna write a kid's book of how to get out of trouble.
David Bore
Yeah, mostly say you were going to.
Gary Anthony Williams
Hell to save the example. I was going to save a lady in hell.
Langston Kerman
You know what's crazy about that story? He was 37 years old when that happened.
Gary Anthony Williams
38, buddy. 38. My son was 38 years old. Still getting whooped. Yeah, I deserve. I deserved it.
David Bore
No, that was a go. You were like, we were just worried.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's a brilliant.
Langston Kerman
That is a brilliant move.
Gary Anthony Williams
I was smart at that age, man. That may be the only ass weapon I ever got out of.
Langston Kerman
Whoa.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
Hey. Want to know?
Gary Anthony Williams
That's all I need. I just needed one.
Langston Kerman
I never got out of any.
David Bore
So no, I don't think I ever negotiated my way out of a. Nope. I would see em coming a long ways away too. Sometimes you would put in motion effects where you were like, this is gonna get my ass beat on Sunday.
Langston Kerman
I had a. When I would go to like my summer program for childcare, I was allowed to go by myself. I could ride my bike to the program, but I had to call my mom when I got there. I had to request from the staff, can I use the phone so I can call my mom and assure her that I made it? And like, like four days in a row, I just started playing basketball.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. And she kept telling me, did you forget?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, my friends are outside. They're already hooping.
Gary Anthony Williams
I was in dangerous trouble.
David Bore
No summer day camp. As soon as you get in there, you in there. Like, was it at Boys and Girls Club? I used to. Damn, man. I used to go, they got breakfast. People are telling you what happened last night. Now you're playing ping pong. I understand.
Gary Anthony Williams
You just tell you what happened this sudden. You play ping pong?
Langston Kerman
No.
David Bore
The Boys and Girls Club in the morning is. That's a good time.
Langston Kerman
I was already in it and I would just forget. But she would tell me, I am going to beat you the next time you don't call me. And I didn't. And I had to spend that whole day because eventually I did remember like an hour later. And I called and she was like, you know, I'm gonna beat you when I get. When you get home. And then I just had to have that in my head for the whole time.
Gary Anthony Williams
It takes a lot to go, okay. Like if you were mad at your child in the moment and your rage got to you and you hit your child.
Langston Kerman
Yes.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's one thing which shouldn't be done, by the way. But when somebody goes, you know what? At 3 o' clock when you get home, I'm going to hit you.
David Bore
She had to switch her temperament.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's conniving.
David Bore
Yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
Because she was probably having a great day at 2:30. You know, Gary, this isn't a Story.
Langston Kerman
About my mother being a hero. It's a story. Story about fear.
David Bore
I definitely got.
Gary Anthony Williams
I thought it was a human.
David Bore
Did you ever have, like, people over and you knew you were gonna get your ass beat after they left?
Langston Kerman
Absolutely.
David Bore
And you're like, damn, I'm the most charming person in the world. She's laughing. You're like, I might not get my ass beat tonight.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. You talk too much.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You said something crazy.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And you just know this energy is gonna change as soon as that door shuts.
David Bore
As soon as that door shuts.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's a little too conniving. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
No, I don't love it.
David Bore
No. And then you become a stand up comedian and become independent.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, you gotta get independently wealthy. Guys. If I could tell any of you, you gotta get independently wealthy. It's just something you should do.
Langston Kerman
You gotta try it. I think a lot of you are choosing not to do it, and that's odd.
David Bore
Yeah, it's mindset. It's your mindset.
Gary Anthony Williams
Just stop being poor.
David Bore
There's no extenuating circumstances. You're a loser.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. Come on. Nothing else could happen in your life. Life.
Langston Kerman
We.
David Bore
You're ugly.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
You dress like shit. And you're poor.
Langston Kerman
Give us $200, Gary. We're going to listen to a voicemail. We. We often get voicemails from our. Our. Our dear supporters.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, excellent.
Langston Kerman
Our little mamas, as they affectionately know themselves. And they send us voicemails of their own conspiracies. And we're going to listen to one together. Feel free to call for. To stop at any time if you have to. Thoughts? Okay, let's do the. The apple one, please.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yo, I gotta be nasty. Hey, how y' all doing? Long time listener, proud little mama. My conspiracy theory is that any farm where you have to pay and go to pick up your own produce is a scam. I'm talking like, apple picking, pumpkin patches, all that. Like, I had a group of friends that drove me outside Philly to go, you know, like, take pictures at an apple orchard one day in the fall. Dawn. We paid like, $30 to get in. And you don't even get the apples for free after you get in. Hey. And then put in the labor to pick your own apples. And then you pay for the apples after you go through the whole. I paid like $60 at this place, and all I had to show for it were muddy Tim's and, like, apples that are way, way worse than what you would get at, like, a Safeway. You shouldn't wear GMOs.
Langston Kerman
Or nothing.
Gary Anthony Williams
So. So, yeah, I'm sorry for rambling. Can we pause him for one. One. One second? All right, bye.
Langston Kerman
Oh, well, he's done.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. That's the eternal pause.
Langston Kerman
And he is dead. We do let them put him down.
Gary Anthony Williams
Once you leave the message, you're done. It's like y' all dead to me.
David Bore
When I. Yeah, we sent Joelle to.
Langston Kerman
The house, she puts them down.
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm gonna have to disagree on. They're way less better than the apples you get from the Safeway. Mm. Any apple. A fresh apple off of a tree is going to taste better than that apple because they have to put wax and junk on them. All the apples that they.
Langston Kerman
You're saying just the transition alone means it's not good.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. Like, you get a fresh apple or a fresh peach right off of it. You're not gonna find that you're talking to somebody who grew up raising their own food.
Langston Kerman
Right. Right.
Gary Anthony Williams
It's not gon. Tastes as good a tomato. Yeah, man. Man, I've shot a lot of stuff in the head, bro. Damn. A lot of stuff.
Langston Kerman
Damn.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I would have spoke to you differently if I would have known that from the beginning.
Gary Anthony Williams
Man, my head shooting days are over, okay? But I still have the skill.
David Bore
Do you ever get to itching? Like, you walk by a petting zoo and you're like, these hands.
Gary Anthony Williams
I could chop that rabbit behind the head right now. Break his neck, slid him down, cut off. I can teach you how to dress a hog, a rabbit, all of that stuff.
David Bore
I respect a man who. I respect it when people are down to kill animals. And maybe that says something about me.
Gary Anthony Williams
See, I don't do it anymore, though.
David Bore
But you know how.
Gary Anthony Williams
I know exactly how.
David Bore
That's my big worry is that, like, the lights cut off tomorrow, and then I'm face.
Gary Anthony Williams
I got.
David Bore
Let's say I kill a pig.
Gary Anthony Williams
Wait a minute. Hold on. You just saying the lights are off. That's it. They might be on in four to five minutes, but you immediately going to go into.
David Bore
I have to protect my. This house.
Gary Anthony Williams
He.
Langston Kerman
He has two cats and a dog. One of them's going to die.
David Bore
I'm going to teach them to kill with me. Yeah, but I'm just saying what happens.
Gary Anthony Williams
If you show a man. If you teach a man to kill. I don't remember how you teach a cat to sp.
David Bore
A hog. She'll kill you in your sleep.
Langston Kerman
In your sleep and dress it.
David Bore
But that's what I'm worried about is what if a plane crash. I don't know, man. Some situation where I kill an animal, I don't know what to do now. I know you got, like, cut the stomach open, pull the guts out, like, lay it kind of, and then, like, skin. I just don't. I want to be able to get to the meat.
Langston Kerman
I will say that I think the. There is a type of pervert who wants to murder rhinos just for the sake of murdering rhinos.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. There are people who want to kill.
Langston Kerman
Something that has ruined it for people who were living off of the land in a way.
David Bore
And that's what I mean. I'm not talking about rhino freaks. I'm talking. I don't think.
Langston Kerman
No, I think. I think it's a real bummer that people made the slaughtering of animals for necessity into game, right? Which is like, this shit ain't a game, bro. That was a fucking, like, being. It existed.
David Bore
But I do think it's also a bummer that we have the distance from our food that I can go to the store and eat, buy a meat that I couldn't. I don't know how to get you out.
Langston Kerman
You should have to look in animal space.
David Bore
I think I would have. I think I have the heart to kill the animal.
Gary Anthony Williams
Animal. Yeah.
David Bore
I mean, the skill to prepare it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I could take it out.
Langston Kerman
I don't. I don't think I could take it out.
David Bore
Have you ever killed an animal? No, I haven't killed a big ant. I kill, like, a bunch of chickens and fish and stuff.
Langston Kerman
Whoa. You swing them?
David Bore
No, man. So they used to make fun of.
Langston Kerman
Isn't that what you do?
David Bore
Some people do.
Gary Anthony Williams
My auntie.
David Bore
My auntie would do it like that. But then, like in Sierra Leone, they were making fun of me because they were like, ah, he's scared. Blah, blah, blah. So the way they taught me to do it is you pin the wings back and grab the head and kind of pull it back. And then we had this, like, old rusty butcher knife. I have to, like, saw through it and then. But then when you pull the head off, because it's like the spine's like.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. Beautiful story.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they made me do that every day for a while till you're just.
Langston Kerman
Like, oh, okay, yeah, I know, I know I can do this.
David Bore
But I didn't have to pluck it because that's what women do.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah, that was a weird thing, like. Yeah, like, don't pluck it. That's gay. Yeah, yeah, that was. That was that thing. My grandmama and the other Ladies were sitting around plucking the chicken. Yeah. Yeah.
David Bore
But they mostly just made me do it. Cause they thought that it was funny to them.
Langston Kerman
Because why would you not do it as well as they do it?
David Bore
But then I got pretty fine at it pretty good. I got you.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Damn.
David Bore
But they didn't even do that snapping thing. They made me do it the most.
Langston Kerman
The most gruesome way possible.
Gary Anthony Williams
But the ring in the neck, that is also. It's brutal because then the body part is still running around. And people talk about chickens with their heads cut off. The chickens with their heads dangling on the ground while they're dead. That's scarier than a chicken with this or that.
David Bore
Nobody ever talks about that little spine popping out. That shit is.
Gary Anthony Williams
Nobody talks about that.
Langston Kerman
Nobody talks about.
David Bore
And you just got your foot on it, and it's just like.
Gary Anthony Williams
Nobody talks about that. What?
David Bore
You gonna die.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's what kids should be talking about. We.
David Bore
We have kids killing these chickens.
Gary Anthony Williams
The government is gonna start putting out these rap albums about chicken killing.
David Bore
Come on.
Langston Kerman
I think they need to start leaving the spine in on the chickens at Ralph.
Gary Anthony Williams
Spine in, like bone in something. Spine in.
Langston Kerman
This is spine in chicken. That means it's fresher. It's a little more new than the other chicken. And it might move.
Gary Anthony Williams
Man. I don't even. I literally don't eat meat anymore at all.
David Bore
Really.
Gary Anthony Williams
I haven't eaten meat since the 80s. 80s. Seven 80s. Oh, wow. Wow.
David Bore
That's when I came in.
Gary Anthony Williams
I had enough. You were just being born.
David Bore
Yes.
Gary Anthony Williams
When I came in eating meat. To celebrate that.
David Bore
I appreciate that. I appreciate that. And I carried the torch. You.
Gary Anthony Williams
For.
David Bore
For you.
Gary Anthony Williams
Thank you, brother.
David Bore
I had horse not two months ago, dude.
Gary Anthony Williams
Was it still walking around?
David Bore
No, no, no.
Gary Anthony Williams
You could take a bite.
Langston Kerman
To be Japan, right?
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. That's where I ate it.
David Bore
Yeah, I. I ate it because you had told me about it, and I was like, Langston said it wasn't that bad.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
How'd you feel?
David Bore
All right. Me and my brother were drinking. We was like. It was a.
Langston Kerman
It's whatever.
David Bore
Yeah, because you were saying the Japanese businessman made you do it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. My wife and I were in Japan with friends. Friends. And we were at an izakaya hanging out. And these Japanese businessmen had seared horse on, basically, like sashimi. Like, it's raw horse, essentially. And they had finished their meal, but they saw four black people sit down next to them and immediately got excited. Like, we about to see what happens when we feed them raw horse. And me and my homie and my wife and his partner were all eating, but we all got different cuts of it. And my wife got horse neck, which is apparently way chewier than a lot.
Gary Anthony Williams
Of muscles in there. Like a lot of strong muscles.
Langston Kerman
So everybody else takes their shit down. We laugh.
Gary Anthony Williams
Ha ha.
Langston Kerman
The Japanese businessmen are a little disappointed that this isn't as thrilling as they thought it would be. And then my wife eats her piece and she starts chewing it and she starts gagging in her mouth. And I swear to God, these Japanese businessmen go the greatest day of their.
Gary Anthony Williams
Life.
Langston Kerman
As she's like, gagging on.
David Bore
Do the anime laugh, though.
Langston Kerman
No, no, no.
David Bore
Okay, okay, okay. That is greatest dick, because I was gonna do it.
Gary Anthony Williams
But again, you're easily tricked. You got tricked into playing Candyman?
Langston Kerman
Absolutely.
Gary Anthony Williams
You get tricked easily eating horse.
Langston Kerman
If you present it as a reasonable option, I'll participate.
David Bore
I eat any animal.
Gary Anthony Williams
I don't feel.
David Bore
No way.
Gary Anthony Williams
I was in Iceland and they eat a lot of horse over there, but they also have. Have the famous Icelandic horses that are like world famous. Yeah. And then they have eaten horses and I couldn't tell, like, oh, what's the eating horse and what's the ride then? Do you just ride it till it's tired and it's like.
David Bore
Yeah, I think, I think.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
David Bore
I think it's up to you if it's a riding ornate.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I bet they. I bet they pretend like they have rules about it, but I bet there's a lot of riding horses that have been eating.
David Bore
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gary Anthony Williams
It wasn't that good.
David Bore
Good, though. To me.
Langston Kerman
No, it wasn't something I would go back for it. It was just the thing that I was like, oh, that's cool. Yeah, I'm glad I had that.
David Bore
Now I know what horse is like.
Gary Anthony Williams
What'S the most tasty part of. Probably like the ham area. Most stuff is like butt area. Yeah, the flank butt, where the fat is.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think there's a reason people, like.
Gary Anthony Williams
If you were going to. You were talking about something, the lights go out. The lights go out, your wife is still alive. But if you had to eat. Are you going to start face first?
David Bore
I'm going animals first. This is crazy.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, no, they all.
Langston Kerman
You started the face.
Gary Anthony Williams
Animals ran away. I'm asking, I'm asking where he would.
Langston Kerman
Start starting at the faces.
Gary Anthony Williams
But do you start. No, no, I don't start at the face.
David Bore
What are you doing?
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm just curious as to what would you assume. What are you doing first?
Langston Kerman
I think I'm going titty, but that's just because I'm a fan.
David Bore
I'm gonna miss that stuff.
Gary Anthony Williams
Just a second.
David Bore
I'm not starting with something.
Gary Anthony Williams
I'm gonna miss that.
Langston Kerman
That's smart. You're right. I should pre preserve the titty. I should go for something that I. Calf. Yeah. The calf I could live without for sure.
Gary Anthony Williams
Back in the early.
David Bore
I'm so glad they don't listen to this.
Gary Anthony Williams
In the early days of America, they ate a lot of humans.
David Bore
I know. I do know that.
Gary Anthony Williams
They would eat. They would go brain. They would crack the head open and.
David Bore
What part of your wife would you eat first?
Gary Anthony Williams
A booty.
Langston Kerman
A booty.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, totally. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Okay. You're like, I've been here before.
David Bore
Yeah. I've eaten the booty first. I've practiced many times.
Gary Anthony Williams
I've eaten the booty first. Like who? That's. That's. That's in the Bible. Yeah, right there. It's in there.
Langston Kerman
If you really read it the way you supposed to. And a lot of y' all ain't reading your Bible.
Gary Anthony Williams
Y' all ain't reading the Bible.
David Bore
No, no, no. You forget what's in the apocrypha.
Gary Anthony Williams
Come on. You gotta read 58 of the Bible. Read page 58. You know exactly what.
Langston Kerman
Read some of them footnotes.
David Bore
Yeah, it says smack it up, flip it, rub it down.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, no.
Langston Kerman
Gary, I think we did it.
David Bore
This is great.
Langston Kerman
This was.
Gary Anthony Williams
No. But we're gonna start the show. No. Oh, damn.
Langston Kerman
We didn't tell him.
David Bore
That's okay.
Gary Anthony Williams
It don't matter.
David Bore
It don't matter.
Gary Anthony Williams
It don't matter. Yeah. If you got what I got, every day's a good day.
David Bore
Come on. Full bank account and a belly full of booty meat.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, booty meat in the freezer. In the belly.
David Bore
He just buys a full half booty and then he just cuts it up.
Gary Anthony Williams
Seriously, you would go for your wife's.
David Bore
I didn't say anything.
Gary Anthony Williams
He said titty. Said.
Langston Kerman
I said titty. But I do regret it.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, no.
Langston Kerman
Now that you said booty, booty actually makes a lot more sense. And I would miss the breast. I would miss the booty, too, but booty, at least logically.
David Bore
Is she alive?
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, that's. I would think she's.
Langston Kerman
So we have to. We have to.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, that's a good question.
Langston Kerman
We have to kill her, dress her, and then.
Gary Anthony Williams
No, no, no. This is. Nobody's killing anybody here. This is all a love. This is all love. This is all love. You don't want to flank it and then no smack. No. This is all love. This is all love. Nobody's killing anybody here. Nobo. Killing anybody. She dies of natural causes as soon as the lights go out. Yep, as soon as the lights go.
Langston Kerman
You don't know how to get those lights back on this.
Gary Anthony Williams
There's no way to figure out how.
David Bore
To get them back on the breaker.
Gary Anthony Williams
But you're hungry.
David Bore
I got a gun at the breaker. Hold up.
Langston Kerman
I think I gotta eat my wife. I can't tell which one is living room. I'm gonna have to eat my wife.
Gary Anthony Williams
I gotta eat my wife. God damn y'.
Langston Kerman
All.
Gary Anthony Williams
Honor. To be fair. Yeah. The lights have been out for a full minute.
David Bore
Okay.
Langston Kerman
It's scary.
David Bore
I'm so scared. I couldn't find the dog.
Gary Anthony Williams
I could find the dog.
David Bore
The cats were nowhere.
Gary Anthony Williams
The cat is quiet. Your honor, if you ever try to eat a cat. Cats are quiet.
Langston Kerman
They're very quiet.
David Bore
Yeah. I think if I had to eat my animals, I'd probably go smallest to biggest.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. No, just in terms of appreciation, I think you would. You would go smallest.
David Bore
Yeah. I couldn't do that.
Gary Anthony Williams
But which one means the least to you? That's the one you would probably.
Langston Kerman
I think I know the answer and I think you're having trouble saying it.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. So you have what, two cats and a dog?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, he has a hairless cat.
David Bore
Not anymore. Not anymore.
Gary Anthony Williams
Yeah. Cause you ain't gotta pick no hair off of it.
Langston Kerman
Yes, you would think so. But he actually got scammed.
David Bore
It grew hair. It grew hair in California, which is crazy. Had it in Denver a year and a half. No hair as soon as we got.
Langston Kerman
Now it has like a low Caesar cut.
David Bore
It's got waves, she's wavy.
Gary Anthony Williams
That's the same thing with pot bellied pigs. There are no tiny pigs. That's a lie. That's a scam. They all grow up to be full sized hogs.
Langston Kerman
You just. You feed them until they get big and then nothing.
Gary Anthony Williams
Oh, man. We've been lied to.
Langston Kerman
We've been lied to. And that's all I wanted to hear you say.

Guest: Gary Anthony Williams
Date: February 3, 2026
In this lively and irreverent episode of My Momma Told Me, hosts Langston Kerman and David Gborie are joined by the multitalented Gary Anthony Williams. Renowned for his voice work as Uncle Ruckus on The Boondocks and as a prolific actor and comedian, Williams dives into the world of Black conspiracy theories, both silly and sinister. Despite being cast as a legendary conspiracy theorist on TV, Williams himself is a skeptic, bringing a science-rooted viewpoint to the show. The trio unpacks Hollywood legends, cultural truisms, and the absurdities (and truths) behind common Black conspiracies—while keeping the room full of laughter.

“We dive deep, deep into the pockets of Black conspiracy theories and we don’t prove a motherfucking thing.”
— Langston Kerman (05:55)
“I never had to sleep with anybody—for a job. But I do remember…I was doing a movie with Billy Dee [Williams], and I was like, ‘Man, I’m sick of the casting couch.’ He was like, ‘I can’t tell you how many times I had to sleep with someone for a job—All these women! All these female casting directors.’”
— Gary Anthony Williams (15:15)
“They all have a gay team. And then I hear them rapping the opposite of that…who's making your money for you right now?”
— Gary Anthony Williams (11:49)
“There is a section of society who’s never told to shut up. Maybe white women need to start their own fight club.”
— Gary Anthony Williams (35:06, paraphrased)
“Where I came from…in the Deep South, it was a sundown kind of town…So you didn’t have to put rap music into a community. You just did it.”
— Gary Anthony Williams (30:19)
“You’re supposed to take a pin, stick it in the ground, put your ear to it, and you can hear the devil beating his wife.”
— Gary Anthony Williams (40:36)
“Any apple, a fresh apple off the tree, is going to taste better than that [store] apple.”
— Gary Anthony Williams (49:03)
“I've eaten the booty first, like who? That's…That's in the Bible.”
— Gary Anthony Williams (57:32)
The episode is hilarious, brash, and laced with the hosts’ signature raw, unfiltered wit. Gary seamlessly matches Langston and David’s irreverence, but grounds their wild conversation with real-life observations and thoughtful, sometimes sentimental (and often gut-busting) stories. The chemistry is undeniable, with plenty of playful roast exchanges and comedic tangents steeped in Black Southern culture and showbiz lore.
This My Momma Told Me episode is a raucous celebration of skepticism in the face of conspiracy, Black cultural folklore, and the unvarnished truths of entertainment. Gary Anthony Williams—part beloved Uncle Ruckus, part practical dad, part wild storyteller—takes the hosts (and listeners) on a journey through absurd myths, real social dynamics, and the eternal struggle between “stuff you heard” and what’s actually real.
Highly recommended for listeners who love:

Essential lesson from the episode:
“You gotta try being independently wealthy. A lot of you are choosing not to do it, and that’s odd.” – Langston Kerman (46:36)
