David Boring
All that meet and greets. You think Chris Brown has a good.
Lexa Garmin
Meet and greet, bro? Let's be clear. I'll take a weird picture with you for free.
David Boring
Diarrhea. Kind of a beautiful word.
Lexa Garmin
My love. You give me diarrhea, mi amor.
David Boring
Como is always followed by some foul.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, it's gotta be.
David Boring
Nobody ever says como in good faith. No.
Lexa Garmin
You just want to do something violent.
David Boring
Yeah, you're about to do something bad.
Lexa Garmin
Hey, how do you say fuck all y'all?
David Boring
Como Saint say, the place where I came to get pills.
Lexa Garmin
You know what I'm saying? The government growing babies. Microchips in your 80s. All koala bears are racist. The ozone layer owes me money. Martians invented turkey stuffing. Y'all can't tell me nothing. Oh, we are living single in a 90s kind of world. I'm glad I got my girl. There it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told Me the.
David Boring
Podcast where we dive deep into the pockets of black conspiracy theories and we.
Lexa Garmin
Finally work to prove that Tyler Perry's wigs are the reason that we are losing the coral reefs. He is extracting resources from this planet and combing them together to make awful coral looking wigs that are literally bleaching our sweet bottom dweller units below. I'm Lexa Garmin.
David Boring
I'm David Boring. I didn't fully. I get it.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, yeah. No, you don't buy it for shit.
David Boring
Seems toxic.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
I don't know enough about the reefs. I'm saying that's what I worry.
Lexa Garmin
I'm saying. I'm saying that what he's putting on human heads doesn't look at all to be of this part of the planet.
David Boring
Like it shouldn't be put on human heads.
Lexa Garmin
It's not for. It's not even meant to pretend to be human hair at this point.
David Boring
It does seem like a crazy place to not. That's where you're cutting the corners.
Lexa Garmin
It's wild. And maybe, maybe this is how you become a billionaire. Right? Is you have to understand, it's not.
David Boring
What you make, it's what you say.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, maybe we're looking at it like hair glue. How much could that cost? And he's like, I'm paying for hair glue.
David Boring
Come on. What are you talking about, 50k a month?
Lexa Garmin
Lick that down. Slap it.
David Boring
We got a movie to make.
Lexa Garmin
Do it in one shot and you got nothing to worry about. Coral reefs is where I'm at.
David Boring
Coral reefs protect our.
Lexa Garmin
What do you want us to protect?
David Boring
I gotta be honest, man. I did too much edible last night, and it's bled over into today.
Lexa Garmin
Whoa. Okay, okay. My man is weird high.
David Boring
Exactly that. Exactly that. I was trying to hold it together during the last one. Yeah, you'd be making these great points. And I'm just looking over, remembering we're wearing these shirts. Like, it's like you could only say. You can only be so smart with, like, the face of another dude in the room on your shirt.
Lexa Garmin
Right?
David Boring
It's like, it tops out, man.
Lexa Garmin
What if we start to get more. Not that our guests haven't been legitimate, but actual, like, thinkers on this podcast. Do you know what I mean? Like, if we get a Taasi Coates. If we start to get the.
David Boring
Is that the. I hadn't.
Lexa Garmin
I don't know that that's the plan.
David Boring
Oh, God. Thank God.
Lexa Garmin
I was like, it certainly isn't what I aimed for, but there could be a world where we find ourselves successful enough that they start going, hey, I'd like to come. I'd like to come be silly with you. But they don't know that what silly is. And we're wearing these shirts, and then they have to decide what kind of person they're gonna be.
David Boring
Oh, I like that. Really force their hand. Yeah, it's like a power move, essentially.
Lexa Garmin
I think so. I think if they come in and.
David Boring
We just are like this. No explanation.
Lexa Garmin
Now, you said in your book.
David Boring
That.
Lexa Garmin
Things are complicated in Israel. Okay, I'm not convinced. Tell me more.
David Boring
It would be a good play. That would be a. I think that'd be huge.
Lexa Garmin
He sits across from us and he starts. You know what I mean? Cause he can't help it.
David Boring
Cause what do you have? What do you. What do you. What do you think about this? You have to. You have to make a lot of game time decisions. If you sit across two men dressed like this and because, like, how am I gonna play?
Lexa Garmin
This is gonna be beautiful. Because he would only come if he asked, which means that you wanted to be here.
David Boring
You're gonna presume you Start a foot back. Because you presume this is, like, a thing you don't know about, that we're united.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. And probably your team told you this is a cool thing and it lives in this kind of space. And you're like, yeah, I could have a. That'd be exciting. To have a conspiracy theory conversation with black men and unpack that in terms of its bigger effects on our planet, on our experience. He probably would think this is hopeful and inspiring.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
And then he comes and he sits down across from two idiots wearing matching shirts of each other's faces, like we're.
David Boring
In a tween relationship.
Lexa Garmin
He's just sitting there like, God, if they have matching backpacks, I'm gonna.
David Boring
Ye. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
I'm gonna call my agent and fire them. I wanna fire them on this podcast.
David Boring
Yeah. No, it's. So maybe we keep the shirts for that. Because I'm already doing the math. I'm like, oh, no, I can't go to the airport looking like this.
Lexa Garmin
Dude. I think from now on, anytime we have on these shirts, it's gotta be a power play.
David Boring
Yeah, that's good.
Lexa Garmin
It's just us being like, I don't know how this episode's gonna go, so you getting big dogged real quick.
David Boring
Yeah. Right out the gate.
Lexa Garmin
Boo.
David Boring
Boo. Boo. They won't think to have listened back even this far.
Lexa Garmin
No.
David Boring
That's the good thing about getting a big, famous guest. They'll do minimal research.
Lexa Garmin
They got no idea what this is. But they know that they sat down against two people they've never heard of wearing matching shirts.
David Boring
Yeah. Damn. Thank you for extending the shelf life of this shirt.
Lexa Garmin
I think these shirts are a permanent fixture in our lives.
David Boring
We're gonna be like that guy with the vest.
Lexa Garmin
Let's go, D. Ray.
David Boring
Yeah, D. Ray. That guy.
Lexa Garmin
Yep. We have a conspiracy that you and I talked about today. We were brainstorming earlier a little bit, and we landed on a conspiracy I think we're both very excited about. But we said, my mama told me we are eating fake food. Whoa. Kick it off. What are you thinking?
David Boring
I mean, I've always heard rumors about things. Right. Like, I heard. I remember years ago hearing that, like, the McDonald's patty for the double cheeseburgers is more plant than it is meat.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
You know what I mean? And you hear these things, and sometimes, I mean, especially, like, bad food. You're like, the process by which we came to this, it's been whatever. Real food has been filtered out. Yeah. To where this is just, like an abomination. You know what I'm saying?
Lexa Garmin
Like a fish stick.
David Boring
Yeah. Or like, you know, bacon flavored. Anything that's not bacon.
Lexa Garmin
Right.
David Boring
You know what I mean? Where it's like, this is. We've gone real far. Right.
Lexa Garmin
So you're saying you do believe we're consuming a fair amount of things that you would not qualify as, quote, unquote, real.
David Boring
Yeah, I think. I think. I think. I think. I think so.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. I think I feel similarly. I think it's more. I think it's more often than we think. Do you know what I mean? Like, I think even when we kind of think something is sort of rooted in a reality, it's actually more of that abomination that you're speaking of.
David Boring
I mean, that is. That's the worry, right? That I'm gonna be like, I think it's a little problem and come to find out. But, I mean, I think it's like, there's whole foods and then there's processed foods, right? Yeah, I think that the processed foods are, like, highly processed. And this isn't like rocket science, you know what I mean? It's just. That's, like, pretty standard thing.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
Some of the stuff they do to foods, you're like, you can't do that. Like, when they had those diet chips and then everybody got diarrhea. Remember that?
Lexa Garmin
I don't remember that.
David Boring
Those, like, soy chips, they were like, no calories, but then they gave people terrible diarrhea. So it was just in like, the early 2000s.
Lexa Garmin
Holy shit.
David Boring
You know, they were called like, wow or some shit like that.
Lexa Garmin
Oh, I didn't know wow gave people diarrhea.
David Boring
Yeah, it's not. It's not good.
Lexa Garmin
Wow. That sucks. Fuck.
David Boring
Wow.
Lexa Garmin
Olestra is the oil that made people shit.
David Boring
I hope that they can see you, because that is.
Lexa Garmin
No, they're all pointing this way. We're hearing from Olivia, who poked her head in cartoonishly, I would say.
David Boring
Oh, very Sesame Street.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. Who poked her head in that? Olestra is the name of the oil that was giving people diarrhea from the wild chips, I think. I think, yes, so much. There is a massive difference between whole foods and processed foods. But then I think even the level of processing that some foods make feels impossible for it to have maintained any version of its original self.
David Boring
Right. That's what I'm saying. It's been filtered down so many times.
Lexa Garmin
Powdered eggs is such an absurd concept of dehydrating eggs and then rehydrating them in their original form that, like. Well, that's not what that is anymore. That's not real egg. It's like the essence of egg.
David Boring
But we're so played that, like, that's like when you can buy a product at the grocery store and it's like, with all natural flavors or uses real eggs or whatever, where it's like. We're so used to thinking that this whole thing is chemicals, that they're like, oh, sometimes we put some real shit in.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, exactly.
David Boring
You know what I mean? I don't want to freak you out. We got apples in this applesauce. Yeah, they're like, I'm just a good guy like that.
Lexa Garmin
Look, man, these gushers are made with real fruit juice. And that didn't have to be.
David Boring
Could have just hit you with the vat of chemicals. But I said, essence of BlackBerry.
Lexa Garmin
A little bit of juice in there for the kids. For the kids. Have a little bit of juice. Cause, you know, they're not like, filling it to the brim.
David Boring
No, it's not. It's not.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, they just hit you with one.
David Boring
Of these little tap.
Lexa Garmin
They give you that. What's the salt bay?
David Boring
They salt bay.
Lexa Garmin
Yours. They salt bae, Your fruit juice.
David Boring
Yeah, for sure. I think that. But we're just so used to it, like, you know, that it's, like, permeated. But I think for sure we're all. Yeah, it's not going good with that stuff.
Lexa Garmin
No, I agree. I think we are constantly sort of being presented meals that are far more manufactured than they are, like, of the earth. And then I think the question becomes maybe the standardization of what we consider real and fake.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
Because to some extent, things that we consume that are chemical are still food in that our body can digest it. It just isn't natural. Do you know what I mean?
David Boring
Right. Yeah, But I think that that's what we're talking about is like, our food is not real, meaning it's not derived of something organic. Right.
Lexa Garmin
Well, I guess that's maybe the bigger question. Do you think that that's a problem.
David Boring
Man? I truly don't know the science behind it. My instincts would say yes, but I don't know, man, because it's the idea of, like. Seems like science can make shit. Make like a wonder cocktail to drink or whatever that gives you everything you need. So then it's like, Is artificial food a bad thing? I don't think always, but I think a lot of times, like, with most shit like this, it's probably used to cheapen the process. You know what I mean? I think that you can make A good artificial food. I think the ones that are getting made are not being made with that in mind.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. It's cutting your product. It's not.
David Boring
Yeah, yeah. It's not like they're not using it to make Fruity Pebbles good for you.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, they didn't.
David Boring
Which, if someone out there has the.
Lexa Garmin
Technology, please give my man some healthy Fruity Pebbles. They're like, david, have you slimmed down? Well, I've been eating my fruity pebbles like 2:00pm yeah. No, I, I, I do think that there is this missing component of how much of it is just intention.
David Boring
Right, right.
Lexa Garmin
That like. Oh. If I intended to add this artificial whatever with the goal of like protecting you or keeping you healthy or, or removing a worse element that already exists in the natural food, that's what the processing is for. But the, on the flip side, it's like no more just making something stretch and, or addictive.
David Boring
Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not a good process.
Lexa Garmin
No. Cause truly apples are juicy. If I want some juice, I can just eat an apple. You know what I mean? I can eat an orange.
David Boring
They got all, everything's got all this stuff in it. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
And they were like, nah. But if we put like 500 grams of sugar in this.
David Boring
Yeah. It's like a super apple.
Lexa Garmin
You don't want that apple a bunch of times.
David Boring
And to their credit, it is. I'm not saying that shit is not. You know what I mean?
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
They go crazy with the additives sometimes. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
Apple juice is objectively better than an apple.
David Boring
Apple juice is divine. Apple juice tastes like. It doesn't come from here.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
Like when you get it really good in Kolesh, it's, that's crazy.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, it's crazy.
David Boring
Yeah. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
But then on the flip side, it didn't come from here.
David Boring
No. And they had to make that up.
Lexa Garmin
They had to make that the fuck up.
David Boring
Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
That ain't a Granny Smith. That ain't a Red Delicious. That is manufactured.
David Boring
Yeah. Which is pretty sinister.
Lexa Garmin
It's the most horrifying thing.
David Boring
Like they really, they're coming after everything if they won't. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
This is something I learned not too long ago is that banana flavor, which is maybe, I would argue is maybe the most polarizing flavor of all the flavors. Is that fair to say in fruit? In like fruit flavored things?
David Boring
Yes. Yeah. I think bananas.
Lexa Garmin
Banana's the one where if you like it, you are rare and if you don't like it, you are vocal all the time.
David Boring
Right, right, right. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
That said the banana flavor. The reason that people often don't like banana candies and don't like banana flavors and other stuff is because the banana flavor we eat in candies is actually based on a flavor of a banana that no longer eats. Exists. It's like a genetic breed of banana that was like. Or maybe it exists dark, but it isn't the one that we now understand to be, like, the main banana, bro.
David Boring
Laughing Taffy's is an ancient flavor that no longer exists, dog.
Lexa Garmin
It's like an old breed of banana that, like, in 1942, they drew up the original flavor palette, and then they were like, well, that's the one. And now we're just recycling an old fucking formula.
David Boring
That's crazy. Cause then that makes me think about. I never thought about the idea of produce or anything changing throughout time. So it's like food tastes completely different. And, like, that truly never crossed my mind. I feel like an idiot.
Lexa Garmin
I mean, well, that's what GMOs are, right? Is that we continue to do these genetic modifications over centuries, a century, more or less. And in doing so, we are changing the products, and then those products become dominant.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
That, like, there's a reason that Granny Smith is the go to apple. You know what I mean? Or the base apples are the ones that are being promoted because those are the ones that we grow easiest or can modify the quickest or whatever it is. So when you go like, oh, what does an apple taste like? It's this, right? Because we just taste that all the time.
David Boring
Right, right, right.
Lexa Garmin
But motherfuckers in 19, whatever the fuck, had tasted bananas very differently than us.
David Boring
That's so interesting. But I mean, it's also fucked because I think some stuff it made healthier than it was before. Meat was really dangerous.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
For a long time.
Lexa Garmin
So much so that the Bible really concentrated time on it.
David Boring
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Lexa Garmin
They were like, hey, bro, do not eat shrimp.
David Boring
This shit will fuck you up. So, like, the amounts of meat that we have now, do not eat shrimp.
Lexa Garmin
Can you imagine the diarrhea that that author had before he wrote down, God does not want you to eat shrimp.
David Boring
It took him out.
Lexa Garmin
He was like, the Lord told me, no shrimp.
David Boring
I almost lost my family, okay? The diarrhea.
Lexa Garmin
It is a wonderful.
David Boring
No one I serve would condone.
Lexa Garmin
It is an absolute wonder that I'm here with you today. And the only reason that is is because God needed me to tell you, leave that shrimp alone.
David Boring
Put it down, please. Oh, man.
Lexa Garmin
He was fucked.
David Boring
I bet you diarrhea used to be so bad.
Lexa Garmin
It was the worst.
David Boring
Like, it sucks now. And we. And we have rocket ships. You know what I mean? You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. It sucks now. And I can look up how to fix it on my phone.
David Boring
Yeah. And it's still like, nah, it kind of sucks, bro.
Lexa Garmin
Imagine. Because medieval.
David Boring
Oh, fuck.
Lexa Garmin
It's also. You have to imagine how many people had it and didn't know what it was.
David Boring
They just thought that's how they moved through the world.
Lexa Garmin
That like, once. Once every six weeks, your body explodes. It just erupts. And you have to throw away everything you own because what else could this be? Yeah. And then you start fresh.
David Boring
Oof.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, it's rough out here, man.
David Boring
Yeah, it was bad going back then.
Lexa Garmin
Here's. We should take a break. I don't know that I've seen any indication of it, but I have a feeling we've earned it. We're gonna take a break, and then we're gonna come back with more David Moore lengths than more my mama.

David Boring
All that meet and greets. You think Chris Brown has a good.
Lexa Garmin
Meet and greet, bro? Let's be clear. I'll take a weird picture with you for free.
David Boring
We are back discussing foods. Is that real? Whoa. Yeah, I don't know.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, no, I like that. That was cool.
David Boring
We gotta come in segments.
Lexa Garmin
Mm. Yeah, you really locked it off there.
David Boring
Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
I saw something pretty recently that disturbed me in relating to this conversation. And I have no proof that this is a real thing that I saw or if it is just a bad Instagram TikTok whatever type video. But I saw a video claiming that the cashews that we eat are not real cashews. And it showed essentially like sheets. Like these sheets of dough in a factory where people were essentially cutting out cashew shaped pieces of dough and then baking them and then sort of like serving them up as real nuts, when in fact they are just bread.
David Boring
That's nuts. I knew I shouldn't have done it. I know. I knew I shouldn't have done it. I was like, if you could know what was in my head. I was like, just don't do it. It's going so good. Just don't do it.
Lexa Garmin
What the fuck do you want from me, man?
David Boring
Ah, man, I know, I know it was a tough place to put you.
Lexa Garmin
Well, what do you want me to do?
David Boring
I'm. I'm telling you that I also did not want that to happen.
Lexa Garmin
Fuck, man. Fuck. We'll have a big meeting after this.
David Boring
Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
But no, they're claiming that these. These cashews are not real. And even more fascinating, I saw another video relating to cashews, which was very informative for me, but I found out cashews are not real nuts in general. What we're told they are is that they're a nut. They're actually the seed of a fruit called the cashew apple.
David Boring
Oh, wow.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. So like, these cashew apples.
David Boring
Oh, that makes sense with, like, the pattern. It looks like a seed pod kind of.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. And so they basically, like, have to pluck them from the inside of these cashew apples in order to, like, mine them and make them, you know, into what we present as these big sort of collections of seeds or of nuts, rather. And part of the reason that that gets so complicated is it's like insanely difficult to get the cashew out of this apple. Or at least far more difficult than just plucking your average nut. And then on top of that, it requires a lot, a lot of like, damn near slave labor in order to accomplish it. That, like, tons and tons of people internationally are being paid, like, $3 a month to be, like, pulling fucking cashews out of cashew apples so that we can sell them on mass. You know what I mean? And so it becomes this question of real, I guess, becomes even more complicated because you wonder, all right, if it costs that much.
David Boring
Yeah. If that's what the price is. But then it is still an industry in the way that, like, you take that away, you take away a lot as well, right?
Lexa Garmin
Yeah, you take away the sort of.
David Boring
Like, there's towns that run on businesses like that, right?
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. But if they're towns internationally, do they give a fuck? You know what I mean? Like if it's a town in the Philippines that is serving us cashew apple, you think America is going to be like, no, we got to keep that industry afloat.
David Boring
Right. Right.
Lexa Garmin
That is dark shit.
David Boring
Yeah. That really.
Lexa Garmin
It's not inspiring.
David Boring
Yeah. I don't know if real cashews are better than fake cashews.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. And I don't know if I believe in a company's goodness to at least like, keep the slaves that they have. Right. That.
David Boring
No, I don't. I think that if there was a way to. They didn't have to do it, they would not do it. You know what I mean?
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. I think they would happily turn it into machines. Which then brings me back to this question of a sheet of dough being cut into little cashew shapes and served up to us as if it's real.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
It starts to make me believe that more, I guess, would be the argument that I have.
David Boring
Right. I mean, I think there's a lot of trickery that goes with food because it's kind of one of those things that it regenerates. You know what I mean? Like, it's easy to sell shitty food and just. I'm all stoned.
Lexa Garmin
Okay.
David Boring
I had too high.
Lexa Garmin
But I agree. I think like, even thinking about the. The fda.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
And the FDA is the Food and Drug Administration. Their sole purpose, or at least what we are presented their purpose is, is the verific, like the quality of our food. Right. Like they assure us that this food meets a certain standard. But on the flip side, there are a lot of things that are able to be sold that are not FDA approved.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
That. That don't have to follow that standard. And even the things that pass FDA inspections are often proved to be toxic, are often proved to be not what they claim to be, in part because the FDA is a government agency that has its own agenda the same way we all do.
David Boring
Yeah. I mean, the thing about the FDA is like, if people can buy it non fda, then what does it really matter? Right. You know what I mean? If it's not, like, if it's just like an idea, it seems like a waste of time kind of.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. I mean, it's expecting a lot of people.
David Boring
Right, Exactly.
Lexa Garmin
To be like, no, I trust. I trust that this is only the best if it's FDA approved, and if it's not, I won't have it. And that's not how people are at all.
David Boring
At all, at all.
Lexa Garmin
You drink so much blue stuff.
David Boring
That's crazy. Relax. Do I have a blue day every now and again. Yeah. But I don't think it's crazy that. Yeah. People don't make that discernment. So it's like. Like, what is even this thing?
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
And if they're such a terrible vet of stuff, why would we ever rely on them? It's just like. Seems like you're on your own out here. Yeah. It's all gonna be bad.
Lexa Garmin
And then you look at the things that are FDA approved and you go, well, that's crazy. Do you know what I mean? Like, fucking Mountain Dew is FDA approved.
David Boring
Yeah. What is this? Who did you pay?
Lexa Garmin
It's not. There's no way. You were like, yeah, this covers all the bases.
David Boring
Yeah. They sought. And we're like, put it in you. Yeah, sure, put it in you.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
This shit that looks like coolant.
Lexa Garmin
Every, like, six months, I'll watch a video of, like, somebody showing all the things you can do with a can of Coca Cola.
David Boring
Oh, yeah. Like cleaning shit.
Lexa Garmin
You can, like, clean things.
David Boring
Just leave shit in there for a.
Lexa Garmin
While and it, like, de rusts your car.
David Boring
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can put, like, your battery housings or whatever. Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
It's just fucking nuts. Like, the crazy scientific things that are possible with this product, there's no way that anyone should approve that for human consumption.
David Boring
Yeah. So it's like, what is the fda? You're not on our side.
Lexa Garmin
You're not working. You're not working for the people by any means. All right, we're gonna take a break. We'll be back with more David More, Langston More. My Mama Told Me.

David Boring
We made it back.
Lexa Garmin
A lot of people said we wouldn't come back.
David Boring
They said we weren't gonna make it.
Lexa Garmin
They were banging on that door. They say, boys, get the fuck outta here.
David Boring
They said, your dream is dead and your shirt is stupid. We said no.
Lexa Garmin
We still got one more ad break to do.
David Boring
We got one more use of this thing.
Lexa Garmin
Give us one more lap, Captain. I guess the bigger question we're talking about whether or not our food is real. The bigger question that this all kind of makes me feel is do you think there's any chance we'll ever do something about it?
David Boring
That is the worry. And this is where I think my pessimism comes on. Cause I always think that everything is gonna get so over bloated and terrible that it'll just collapse and then something new will come into its place. Yeah, I don't see us course correcting a ton of shit, you know what I mean? But I don't know, maybe, man, if something really happens, it forces the hands. But I mean, there's like, I don't.
Lexa Garmin
Know, I think the only way we ever do something about it is if it starts to shorten our lifespan.
David Boring
Right.
Lexa Garmin
Like right now we keep getting older, despite all the sort of, like, complaints of like, the awful things we're obviously doing to the planet, obviously doing to our own bodies. There's a fair amount of evidence that like, you know, like, sperm production in men has gone down like 10 times compared or a hundred times. It's something insane compared to, like what our grandfathers used to make. And that has to be a reflection of something happening in our society. It's not just that men ain't men no more. Like we're eating something, we're breathing something. Something bad is happening to our physical form. That said, I live longer than my grandfather did. Yeah, I look younger than my grandfather did at his. You know what I mean? Like, historically, we are becoming a more successful species. And so until it starts to shrink where like, everybody get sick early and everybody dies, I don't think we Have a chance to really need to address it.
David Boring
I mean, that's fair. I don't think it's ever going to get to that point where every. Or maybe. But you think it's like, rich people, that's, like a major thing that they have access to, right?
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. But even then, like, it's. How many people in, like, that elite population are truly, like, living by. You know what I mean? Like, how. I know a lot of rich people who eat, like, absolute garbage.
David Boring
Fair.
Lexa Garmin
They just eat more of it.
David Boring
You know what I mean? Fair, fair, fair.
Lexa Garmin
Like, I don't think every rich person is like Gwyneth Paltrow.
David Boring
Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
I mean, I think a whole bunch of them are Tracy Morgan and my boy. My boy ain't reading about no diet.
David Boring
I think that we're both. I think we're both circling around the same thing. In that catastrophe is the only thing we think is gonna. Yeah, right. One way or another, we think things have to go terribly wrong for them to fix the problem. And that's really how I feel about most everything, I think.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. I think we're gonna need. I think the day after tomorrow hits, and then people start getting their shit together about what they put in their box. But otherwise it's more an elite few.
David Boring
Yeah.
Lexa Garmin
Damn. Well, a heartwarming ending to a heartwarming episode.
David Boring
You know, just. We really seek to uplift.
Lexa Garmin
That's when golden. We say little boys and little girls listen to this podcast. We want to inspire them to go out in the world and be great. Let's talk about how all our food is poisoned and only the zombie apocalypse will make us change that.
David Boring
But also could be some kind of a sickness that doesn't make zombies.
Lexa Garmin
Okay. Just real bad diarrhea. I'm listening.
David Boring
Old school diarrhea.
Lexa Garmin
Old school diarrhea where you start making new Bibles and you like, I spoke to God and he told me that hot Cheetos are a sin.
David Boring
Oh, man. It's also funny to think. I mean, I guess we know that that happens with religion, but it's funny to think that at some point in a lot of these things, there was just a guy. It was probably a guy who was just like, nah, not anymore. Like the King James Bible. He was just like, but make it mine. Yeah, I want my own shit.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. He was like. He was like, But I wouldn't talk like that. Put a couple thou's in there now. Now. That's me. That's me. That's me.
David Boring
That's crazy, though, because it's like and now that's just. That's the one that's the go to.
Lexa Garmin
You think the King James is the go to?
David Boring
You think like the niv.
Lexa Garmin
I bet it's closer to a Kamala Trump split than.
David Boring
I think it's King James versus niv.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
Okay.
Lexa Garmin
I bet half the people like King James and then the other half are like, nah, I ain't fucking with that King James shit.
David Boring
New international version. Yeah, I mostly say those two. Cause those are the only two that come to my head immediately.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah. I always considered it just like the non denominational versus the King James, but maybe their NIV sounds far more correct than new international.
David Boring
Yeah. It's its own thing.
Lexa Garmin
Yeah.
David Boring
Which I think the point is they just made it easier to read is what they said.
Lexa Garmin
But I mean, God, I hope so, because people are having a hell of a time interpreting it now.
David Boring
That's why it's such a good book. You take from it whatever you need.
Lexa Garmin
I think that's why it's the most violent book on the planet.
David Boring
Leave the rest.
Lexa Garmin
I think that's what makes it truly the weapon of choice for so many people, is that you can just make shit up. And people are like, I guess it kind of says that. I don't. I don't know.

Podcast Summary: My Momma Told Me – Episode: "We Are Eating Fake Foods Y'all..."
Title: We Are Eating Fake Foods Y'all...
Hosts: Langston Kerman (Lexa Garmin) and David Gborie (David Boring)
Release Date: November 26, 2024
Network: Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts
Description: Comedians Langston Kerman and David Gborie delve into the intriguing world of Black conspiracy theories, exploring everything from silly to scary conspiracies, including those passed down from quirky family members.
The episode kicks off with the hosts, Lexa Garmin (Langston Kerman) and David Boring (David Gborie), setting the stage for a deep dive into the realm of food-related conspiracy theories. They humorously introduce their unique take on how the food industry might be deceiving the public about the authenticity and healthiness of the foods we consume daily.
Discussion Highlights:
Fake Food Concerns: Lexa and David explore the idea that much of what is marketed as real food is, in reality, highly processed or even entirely contrived.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [12:04]: "So you're saying you do believe we're consuming a fair amount of things that you would not qualify as, quote, unquote, real."
McDonald's Patty Theory: David recounts rumors suggesting that certain fast-food items contain more plant-based ingredients than actual meat, raising questions about food authenticity.
Notable Quote:
David Boring [11:24]: "Like the process by which we came to this, it's been whatever. Real food has been filtered out."
Olestra and Diarrhea Incident: The hosts discuss the infamous case of Olestra, an additive used in diet chips that caused widespread digestive issues.
Notable Quote:
David Boring [13:04]: "Those, like, soy chips, they were like, no calories, but then they gave people terrible diarrhea."
Discussion Highlights:
Fake Cashews: Lexa shares a disturbing claim from social media alleging that what we consume as cashews are actually sheets of dough shaped and baked to resemble real nuts.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [28:06]: "These cashews are not real. They are just bread shaped like nuts."
Labor Exploitation: The genuine cashew industry relies heavily on underpaid labor to extract cashews from the cashew apple, highlighting ethical and economic concerns.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [30:06]: "It requires a lot of like, damn near slave labor in order to accomplish it."
Discussion Highlights:
Evolution of Produce: The hosts discuss how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have altered the taste and variety of fruits and vegetables over time, leading to a standardized but less diverse palate.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [20:55]: "I always considered it just like the non-denominational versus the King James, but maybe their NIV sounds far more correct than new international."
Banana Flavor Discrepancy: They delve into why banana-flavored products often taste different from actual bananas, attributing it to outdated flavor formulas based on now-extinct banana varieties.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [19:29]: "Banana's the one where if you like it, you are rare and if you don't like it, you are vocal all the time."
Discussion Highlights:
Regulatory Skepticism: Lexa and David express distrust in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), questioning the agency's effectiveness in ensuring food safety and authenticity.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [32:46]: "It's expecting a lot of people to be like, no, I trust. I trust that this is only the best if it's FDA approved."
FDA-Approved vs. Non-Approved Products: They debate the reliability of FDA approvals, noting that even FDA-approved products often contain dubious additives.
Notable Quote:
David Boring [34:31]: "Like, what is even this thing? And if they're such a terrible vet of stuff, why would we ever rely on them?"
Discussion Highlights:
Biblical Dietary Laws: The hosts humorously reflect on how ancient dietary restrictions, such as those against eating shrimp, might have stemmed from trying to avoid foodborne illnesses like diarrhea.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [22:00]: "He was like, the Lord told me, no shrimp. I almost lost my family, okay. The diarrhea."
King James Bible vs. New International Version: They liken the differences between Bible translations to shifts in societal norms and understandings, emphasizing how interpretations can vary widely.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [45:12]: "That, like, there's a reason that Granny Smith is the go-to apple. Or the base apples are the ones that are being promoted because those are the ones that we grow easiest."
Discussion Highlights:
Hope for Change: While both hosts express skepticism about systemic changes, they ponder whether future health crises might compel society to address the issues surrounding processed foods.
Notable Quote:
Lexa Garmin [41:14]: "I think the only way we ever do something about it is if it starts to shorten our lifespan."
Elite vs. Mass Population Impact: They discuss how even among the affluent, unhealthy eating habits persist, questioning whether widespread change is feasible without significant societal shifts.
Notable Quote:
David Boring [42:38]: "How many people in, like, that elite population are truly, like, living by. You know what I mean?"
Throughout the episode, Lexa and David engage in playful and humorous exchanges, often riffing on absurd scenarios related to their conspiracy theories. Their chemistry adds a lighthearted touch to the otherwise serious discussions about food authenticity and public health.
Notable Quotes:
David Boring [03:09]: "Diarrhea. Kind of a beautiful word."
Lexa Garmin [05:07]: "Finally work to prove that Tyler Perry's wigs are the reason that we are losing the coral reefs."
Towards the end of the episode, Lexa and David promote their upcoming "Start the Steal Tour," encouraging listeners to attend their live shows in Seattle and Portland. They also invite listeners to submit their own conspiracy theories related to food.
Notable Quotes:
Lexa Garmin [27:01]: "We're very excited about it. I'm not about to bite my tongue. We want to sell it out and the dates are coming up fast."
Lexa Garmin [47:50]: "Send us your own drops, your own conspiracy theories, if you want to tell us what other foods we missed that are not real but are still worth it."
The episode concludes with a blend of humor and contemplation, leaving listeners to ponder the validity of the discussed conspiracies while eagerly anticipating future episodes and live events.
