Langston Kerman
Wave.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know what's nasty? When I back up, I don't even do this. I just be looking at the camera.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, the camera's ruin my life. Have you been in a car with no camera yet?
Kyrie Shabazz
No, not since.
Guest Comedian
You'll panic. You'll panic.
Kyrie Shabazz
You'll panic.
Guest Comedian
You'll immediately panic. It's terrifying.
Langston Kerman
I, for years, was defiant about the camera because I didn't want to lose the skill, the hellcat mindset I was trying to maintain. I was driving a Honda Civic. I felt like. I felt like a fast guy a little bit.
Guest Comedian
No, I think J. Cole. Shit.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Yeah, it felt like, oh, this is cool. This a cool little Civic. I'm. I'm a look back. Even though I got the camera, I was defiant about the shit. And then I caved. My wife pushed and pushed and I caved. And. Yeah, I don't look back no more. No, I'm never going to look back ever again.
Guest Comedian
Back.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's the way I was.
Langston Kerman
Stupid way to drive.
Guest Comedian
It's the worst.
Kyrie Shabazz
The window.
Langston Kerman
Ain't even a good window back there.
Kyrie Shabazz
Cameras. HD cameras.
Langston Kerman
Perfect.
Guest Comedian
It was made for Arab people who smoked cigarettes.
Langston Kerman
Yes.
Guest Comedian
Because that was the way. Remember how your father. Your pops used to.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
It was a way to look back. Now I have no reason to look back there. I don't have children back there.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, your dad.
Guest Comedian
Kids are. You have kids, right?
Langston Kerman
I have two. Yeah.
Guest Comedian
So you kind of got to bend the neck a little, but you can.
Kyrie Shabazz
You can look in the rear view. You don't have to.
Langston Kerman
True. No. You got to look back at them. You got to.
Kyrie Shabazz
You got to make. Let them know that you committed to.
Guest Comedian
Because sometimes you'll say something as the look back or.
Langston Kerman
Or as comforting. Sometimes it can. It can be a mix of both, but. But often you'll say something looking forward, and then they'll be like, but why? And then you have to turn around and go, because. I don't know. That's the rule.
Guest Comedian
Right.
Additional Panelist
Right.
Langston Kerman
And give them a sincere.
Guest Comedian
Hey, this is why I don't like Langston.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
I'm gonna turn my back.
Kyrie Shabazz
You're turning your whole body to him. That's tough.
Langston Kerman
Much like you're driving.
Guest Comedian
Right.
Additional Panelist
Right.
Guest Comedian
I can only do it in confrontation, not in travel and safety.
Langston Kerman
See how you're breaking our relationship so quickly? That's why you gotta look back.
Kyrie Shabazz
No.
Guest Comedian
Cause your mindset is so positive.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
I immediately say, oh, you wanna look back to be intimidating.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
And your brain is so healthy. Oh, can I.
Kyrie Shabazz
Can I jump in on this?
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Please.
Kyrie Shabazz
You are misinterpreting that. Most likely because of the tone of his skin. He's sick and nasty.
Additional Panelist
Bad.
Guest Comedian
Oh, I know.
Langston Kerman
So.
Kyrie Shabazz
So it's like.
Guest Comedian
No, no, no.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's like he's got a triple filter the vodka before he can even taste you. Understand what I'm saying?
Langston Kerman
We're warming up. I'll get there.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. These are like. These are self imposed things.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Because if he went without restrictor.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. You let that engine just run the way it was built.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Everybody getting shot.
Langston Kerman
Batman has to have rules.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yes, exactly.
Langston Kerman
Otherwise he's the Joker.
Kyrie Shabazz
He tastes blood. He tastes a drop of blood.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Gotham's a whole new town.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I'm the fucked up one.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That brother's positive.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'm pretty good.
Guest Comedian
But see, I don't know where y' all grew up. I grew up in the hood. And I have a theory.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Light skinned dudes are either the most terrifying people in the hood.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Guest Comedian
Are the softest. There's no middle.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, but that's not your theory. That's an accepted okay.
Guest Comedian
Good. I didn't know everybody.
Langston Kerman
It's a reality. I live in the moon.
Guest Comedian
Okay.
Kyrie Shabazz
I've been watching the sky at night time. I think that we orbit the moon.
Guest Comedian
I don't know if you told us, but fire is hot in water.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
I don't know how.
Langston Kerman
And I think we all know where I fell. The times that I was visiting.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think that you.
Guest Comedian
I'm saying there's no. But do people know. There's no middle. That's what I'm.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
You guys are either the most dangerous people in the hood or the softest.
Langston Kerman
I don't think that the journey of a light skinned person has a middle class.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
How many children do you have?
Guest Comedian
23. 22. Which. Real bad, man.
Additional Panelist

Guest Comedian

Langston Kerman
It's.
Additional Panelist

Langston Kerman
Thank you for. It's not allowed to exist. I think because we are so niggas.
Guest Comedian
This is the. I want. I need this soundboard.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
No, it's a pretty good custom.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. This is custom. Yeah. He.
Guest Comedian
Okay.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Customize it.
Guest Comedian
Okay. Yeah. This couldn't be on Apple Store like this. Real niggas. I'm thinking this from that. That guy sounds like it's a clip of some guy calling a girl Franklin a turtle.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Is that where that's from? Do you know what I'm talking about?
Langston Kerman
We certainly probably have source material that will live in that same space.
Guest Comedian
I want to shoot you so bad.
Langston Kerman
My dick's hard.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, you've Been going crazy.
Guest Comedian
That was recorded right out here.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
On the corner. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
That was at the Greyhound station. We just got some room, Tone.
Guest Comedian
Oh, dude, that'd be good. Just a board of just downtown sounds.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Hey, that's my fit.
Langston Kerman
If I do become a dj, that is the path I'm going to.
Guest Comedian
That's your producer tag.
Kyrie Shabazz
DJ Downtown.
Guest Comedian
DJ Downtown man.
Kyrie Shabazz
Want a car date, baby. Damn, my booty ho itches.
Guest Comedian
Where the is that bus? That sounds though. This soundboard is unhinged. I love it.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's a problem.
Langston Kerman
Really powerful stuff. We. We don't yield it. Wisely wield it.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
I'm light skinned, but I promise it's not a scam.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, okay. That gotta be a producer tag, man.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Don't call me white, man.
Kyrie Shabazz
You just gave Mozart his first piano with that one. That's crazy. I'm about to get.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
We.
Langston Kerman
We should acknowledge that all of these have been sourced from our. Our faithful listeners.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. Thank you.
Langston Kerman
Y' all send us your drops.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
We.
Langston Kerman
We add them to. We compile a sound pad with them. I will say that you are sending me so many and some of them you should not be sending.
Kyrie Shabazz
There should be a time limit a little bit. Cause sometimes they'll send us like just a scene from a movie.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. Like a long ass scene from Goodfellas.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
Or like.
Kyrie Shabazz
I wish.
Langston Kerman
I wish it was from like. It's from like projects that you hadn't even heard about.
Kyrie Shabazz
Jason's lyric 2.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Or belly 3.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Belly 3. The one with the game. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yo.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
That is called Belly Games. Belly. Was it called Belly Shout out the Game, man.
Langston Kerman
He was in the belly too though, right?
Guest Comedian
I thought so. It was two or three.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's two or three.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guest Comedian
Somewhere where the plot was lost.
Kyrie Shabazz
He was in a lot of hood DVDs from him. You remember?
Guest Comedian
Stop snitching.
Kyrie Shabazz
Stop lying.
Guest Comedian
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
That was a crazy dvd.
Guest Comedian
Cash money. Like the early Cash. They had a string of them too. Like NOLA project type.
Langston Kerman
I missed when rappers wanted to be actors. The way they are.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
We've now.
Guest Comedian
Because you go on to something. What you mean the way they are?
Langston Kerman
Because we. We've now pivoted to where like rap is such a. A list thing that they get assigned responsibilities in films that don't match their actual vibe.
Guest Comedian
Gotcha.
Langston Kerman
That do not capture their character in a raw form.
Kyrie Shabazz
You're talking about the Odyssey.
Langston Kerman
Yes.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Were there rappers in Odyssey?
Kyrie Shabazz
Ought to see this nigga Travis Scott acting.
Guest Comedian
He's a Poseidon that's crazy.
Kyrie Shabazz
He was doing. Are you mad because he was doing a poem?
Langston Kerman
I. I didn't even see it.
Kyrie Shabazz
You haven't seen it yet?
Guest Comedian
Oh, I'm being serious. That was him with the. That was Travis Scott, bro.
Kyrie Shabazz
I didn't know either. I saw the movie. I didn't. I didn't know it at all.
Guest Comedian
I didn't piece that. They did a good job. Whoa.
Langston Kerman
He really don't even seem like Travis Scott, though.
Guest Comedian
Not all at all. He's killing the role. He. The stick. Shit.
Langston Kerman
Is he, like, CGI'd up or made up?
Guest Comedian
No, no CGI.
Kyrie Shabazz
I honestly just don't really look at his face a lot. He's not a guy I've looked at.
Guest Comedian
He's very. Sunglasses, braids and.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, you don't have his face memorized, so.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, I think most of us don't, though.
Langston Kerman
I think I know Travis Scott.
Guest Comedian
Oh, for.
Kyrie Shabazz
Like.
Additional Panelist
Really?
Guest Comedian
Okay.
Kyrie Shabazz
Travis Scott and then some skinny dude walking here right now.
Guest Comedian
You'll know.
Langston Kerman
I go. Give me a second. Yeah, that's Travis Scott.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. Okay.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't.
Langston Kerman
Give me one minute. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Is that Travis?
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I'm not immediate. I'm not, like, locked in with the nigga, but I recognize him.
Kyrie Shabazz
Interesting.
Guest Comedian
In this movie, though, like, you would like it's. Well, maybe for you. I didn't expect he would be on the table banging a stick, reciting about Odessi.
Langston Kerman
But. But here's. Here's the thing. Cameron Paid in Full, to me, is the greatest breakout performance of any person.
Guest Comedian
Because he was playing Cameron, in a way. And that's what I'm his Persona. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Let him kill a.
Langston Kerman
Let him be what we love. I don't need you to be Poseidon. I need you to be whatever I fell in love with.
Kyrie Shabazz
You're so right. I don't need you to say anything about Poseidon. I need you to be Cameron. Saying you ain't even see when I put my leg up. Because that's some of the best acting in the whole film.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, he's so fucking good in that movie.
Guest Comedian
So where do you think the break went for that? Do you think it was Ice Cube and are we there yet? Do you think Ice Cube shattered that mold, or was it Ice Tea? Like, who do you think shattered that
Kyrie Shabazz
iced tea in the kangaroo suit, maybe?
Guest Comedian
Oh, I don't even know about that. No, I had on a kangaroo.
Kyrie Shabazz
Warriors of Virtue. Whoa. I think that was the first time. Isaac, can you look up what year Ice T put on the kangaroo Suit.
Langston Kerman
I need my computer.
Guest Comedian
I haven't seen him, but I'd take your word that on April. That sounds like. What would have.
Kyrie Shabazz
He said they paid him like $3 million, which I'm not even mad at. $3 million. Bring the kangaroo shoot down. It was either Bring it over.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, but then what would you say about guys like LL Cool J? You think he played him too? Because he was the first the Rock.
Langston Kerman
Well, LL introduced himself to us as a lover.
Guest Comedian
Oh, okay.
Langston Kerman
He maintained lover energy. He just pivoted into a new form.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. And then he was like the good guy. Right. Remember, in the house? Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Thank you.
Guest Comedian
Dog squat and some other shit.
Langston Kerman
He had a sit car.
Kyrie Shabazz
He was a good guy on a sit.
Langston Kerman
He found himself just in a new space. But. But my son typed this.
Guest Comedian
That's on the receipt.
Additional Panelist
It.
Langston Kerman
It's. It's.
Guest Comedian
Oh, it's nonsense. Yeah, not nonsense, but it's his.
Langston Kerman
No, the boy's not bright. I agree.
Guest Comedian
Oh, those layers are starting to unfold. I don't think layers are starting to.
Langston Kerman
I don't think he's too smart, but he's a good guy.
Kyrie Shabazz
How old do kids learn how to type now?
Guest Comedian
How old are they?
Kyrie Shabazz
He's.
Additional Panelist
He's.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, he can't type, but I'm saying
Guest Comedian
he can't do anything this generation.
Kyrie Shabazz
But I'm saying by five or six, they're probably like clickety clacking.
Guest Comedian
I'm saying it's late. I'm saying by two for his generation.
Langston Kerman
Oh, he should be typing.
Guest Comedian
He should already be. That's the way of the world for him. Will be. I. I will say tablets and screens and drones.
Langston Kerman
He has figured out phone in a way that I did not anticipate.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, that's scary.
Langston Kerman
Where, like, he watches YouTube and he knows how to make the ads go away.
Guest Comedian
Good dam.
Langston Kerman
But he, like, he doesn't have the ability to articulate what he actually wants to see.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
But he certainly knows how to move the ads and control the next video.
Guest Comedian
So he's advanced beyond our understanding.
Langston Kerman
I think he's.
Guest Comedian
No, I think.
Langston Kerman
I think he's just a person moving through the world.
Kyrie Shabazz
You can let your son be smart.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, you can. He's smart in a way.
Langston Kerman
Let him prove it to me. Let him prove it to me, and then I'll acknowledge your worth to your father, boy. Show me. They say.
Kyrie Shabazz
They say.
Langston Kerman
Show me.
Guest Comedian
I think the odyssey would be healing for you if you haven't seen yet.
Langston Kerman
I'm really excited to see it. I am a dedicated father and in that way, I do not have the six hours that it is going to require of my day just yet.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. Because you got to get there.
Guest Comedian
But it breezes through. Have you seen it?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I'm excited for it.
Kyrie Shabazz
I do have an issue that I sort of wanted to bring up to people, please, today. And this is not going to require you having seen it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't like that they're talking like Americans.
Guest Comedian
People have said that.
Kyrie Shabazz
It pisses me off. When he said, dad, I said, shut the fuck up.
Guest Comedian
He should have said, this is an epic.
Kyrie Shabazz
You should have said father, because here's.
Guest Comedian
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Here's what I was thinking about. In America, in filmmaking, we've decided that if it's a period piece, they got British accents. Right or wrong. That's just what we've decided.
Langston Kerman
It's respect.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's out of respect. Because then I'm thinking, do other colonized countries, like, if Mexico makes a movie and it's a period piece, are they speaking Spain, Spanish, Castellano or whatever, Ibiza? Is that what they do in Mexican period pieces? Do Mexicans have their version of 12 Years to Slave? And what is the accent used?
Langston Kerman
That's a complicated question because it also. You then go, how do they differentiate physically? What are they doing? They getting that. I bet they get the white ones and the big, strong white ones.
Guest Comedian
And when you sign up for something like that, you almost sign up for the accent of the. There was a time of Rome. You know what I mean? Like, sign up for, like, the sort of Romany, but it's not Romany.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what I. So that's what I was really bugging off of, bro. They don't talk like Italians in Gladiator. That'd be hilarious. Marcus Aurelius. Hey, that would be hilarious.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. No, they're talking.
Kyrie Shabazz
They speak British accent. It's British.
Langston Kerman
And I want a little slang on it.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
To make themselves a more flamboyant character, giving you, like, those Mediterranean whatever vibes. But it's British.
Guest Comedian
But I want that. I need that, bro.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what I'm saying. I don't want to hear you talk like an American. I don't want to hear you say dad.
Guest Comedian
I don't want to hear you say, fuck.
Langston Kerman
This does clear up.
Guest Comedian
Dad makes you sound weaker, too.
Kyrie Shabazz
Dad is the weakest shit to say.
Guest Comedian
Dad.
Kyrie Shabazz
That is the weakest shit to say.
Guest Comedian
Father sounds more like daddy's harder than dad.
Langston Kerman
It's respect.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
But yeah, yeah, Daddy. Calling your dad daddy is a lot tougher than dad.
Langston Kerman
If I say, daddy, I'll beat your ass. I'm gonna win.
Kyrie Shabazz
You projecting fantasies right now?
Guest Comedian
But no, even a.
Langston Kerman
You guys think I win, right? You agree that'd be pretty cool if I said that and then I put my dukes up.
Guest Comedian
No, because in a way, if you call your dad daddy, it's sort of damasculate. It's like calling him a bitch. Yeah, like, hey, Daddy. No, I can't even make that sound tough, but
Langston Kerman
it sounded affectionate.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, shit. It's just the first draft. It's a writer's room.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, I work on it more in the mirror, but I think Father sounds like you want to avenge or like. It's like, father, I ride for my father.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guest Comedian
I ride for my father. And they don't.
Kyrie Shabazz
Where it's like, I ride for my dad. That's like, let me take this back to Cole's.
Langston Kerman
Because he can't get it done right.
Guest Comedian
The problem with the tune is not spoiling it. Cause it's. The modern language puts you in that mindset. So when, like, Odessi is on the island with Cersei eating a lotus flower, the accent helps sell the fantasy of that. Whereas now I'm looking like, no, you was just chilling with your side bitch for seven years on the island, and now you going back home telling your wife a bunch of bullshit.
Kyrie Shabazz
And, bro, I want that in the book. When I read the book. When I read the book, I want to be able to break it down in that way, because it's already me creating the whole visual world anyways. Right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
So the book. Let me think about it in my terms like that. If I'm. If you're doing me the favor of creating this whole world and I'm lazy, not even lazy enough. Just. That's how I'm engaging with this. Then don't give me that bullshit, bro. I'll just make them talk crazy.
Langston Kerman
If we're doing English, British is the first one. Make it the oldest one.
Kyrie Shabazz
I can't have you talk like you're talking in Cleveland.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it's funny. This does clear up a lot for me, because I've. I've only seen the trailer, and the trailer barely has any words. And the one word that sort of does come up is when Odysseus, played by Matt Damon, goes, let's go, and runs to into war.
Kyrie Shabazz
Sounds like he's in a Buckeyes game.
Langston Kerman
And I thought. I was like, damn, he dropped the accent for yelling. But. But maybe that's just a Thing I'm not clocking.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, he's just talking about Matt Damon, the whole movie.
Guest Comedian
And Matt Dame's a good actor. I don't think for. For this.
Kyrie Shabazz
And Hathaway kills. Like, the acting is good. I just don't. Yeah, let's not. Let's not. I feel like once we. We let that in, then once we let in, it's really a sign of the times. That's a recession indicator.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Once our period pieces start having American accents, we gotta be. That's it. That's it.
Langston Kerman
We gotta agree on something, folks.
Guest Comedian
It was a risk they took. Didn't make it impossible to enjoy. But I appreciate who thou with all father. It just. It keeps me in that zone.
Kyrie Shabazz
I want Denzel at Hammond. That's what I want.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guest Comedian
Denzel was still kind of Denzeli. Right?
Langston Kerman
In Gladiator, too.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
But in Hamlet, in Hamlet, he was still kind of Denzel.
Kyrie Shabazz
He.
Langston Kerman
I think he did brilliant.
Kyrie Shabazz
I didn't watch all of it.
Guest Comedian
I'll be honest. He killed it. He made. You know what Denzel made me like. I hated Shakespeare for so long.
Kyrie Shabazz
Really?
Guest Comedian
Yeah. I just never liked it. It's just that thou with art.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'm like, but the stories you don't dislike.
Guest Comedian
Well, I didn't even give them a chance. Cause I don't give a fuck about Shakespeare. But when Denzel was in it and I watched it, I was so befuddled and confused.
Kyrie Shabazz
You don't like thou with Ardeth. You just said befuddled.
Langston Kerman
Add a th to that thing. You Shakespeare baby.
Kyrie Shabazz
You twitch the language in the parlance, but it's not.
Guest Comedian
Before, I was confounded, but this is now. Me coming out of appreciating Shakespeare. Yeah. The appreciation. My palette has grown. Okay, because I want to watch the Denzel movie. I went on YouTube. I watched the explainer videos of what Hamlet was or, like, the Shakespeare stuff. I was like, oh, that's dope. And then once I watched it, now that I knew what the story was, it made the listening easy. Then you hear the poetry of Shakespeare. And then I went down this weird rabbit hole of just loving Shakespeare to the point where I'm watching old monsters monologues with Judi Dench.
Kyrie Shabazz
Whoa, Dame Judi Dench.
Guest Comedian
Damn. Yeah. Let me put some respect on it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, no, she's a dame.
Guest Comedian
Kind of fine back then, too.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what. That's what that means.
Langston Kerman
Hey, some of us.
Guest Comedian
Is that what dame means? That means bad bitch in England.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Crazy actress. But even who's the dude that played Magneto. Older.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, Ian McKellen.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Ian McKellen.
Guest Comedian
Sir. Ian McKellen, sir. Damn. We got a really, you know your sirs and dames. I respect that, man. You well traveled.
Langston Kerman
What else you got?
Kyrie Shabazz
No, that was it.
Guest Comedian
There was a few. Yeah. Professor McGonagall.
Langston Kerman
I think she was Helen Mirren, ain't she?
Kyrie Shabazz
I think she's a dame. I think Helen Mirren is.
Guest Comedian
Oh, Idris Elbus got knighted, right?
Kyrie Shabazz
Did he?
Guest Comedian
I thought he. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Is he sir?
Guest Comedian
I don't know why I feel like
Langston Kerman
he announced that more.
Guest Comedian
I thought he got sir.
Langston Kerman
He got sir.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't know.
Additional Panelist
He did.
Guest Comedian
Oh, he did, yeah.
Langston Kerman
Oh, he's being humble about it.
Guest Comedian
I think it's just a bad year for black people in England because it happened shortly after the bafta Tourette's. Yeah, that wasn't great.
Kyrie Shabazz
That wasn't great.
Langston Kerman
We knight. You nigger.
Kyrie Shabazz
Again,
Guest Comedian
sir nigger.
Kyrie Shabazz
The first one.
Guest Comedian
The first of your name.
Kyrie Shabazz
First in your name.
Guest Comedian
But not the last. But not the last. Certainly not the last. Dude, I'm with you on that.
Kyrie Shabazz
Reading the. Or watching the videos to help you understand that, bro. I read some Russian literature and I was reading that afterwards. These Russians are amazing.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Oh, they are.
Kyrie Shabazz
I had no idea.
Guest Comedian
I want to get into.
Kyrie Shabazz
These Russians are. Dostoevsky is going crazy.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Wait, the what?
Kyrie Shabazz
The Dostoevsky. I read the idiots. And it's like amazing. It's like one of the. It's one of the best times I've ever had reading.
Langston Kerman
Whoa.
Guest Comedian
But you had to do pre work.
Kyrie Shabazz
I had. So what I started to do was I would read the Cliff Notes after every chapter.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
But then once you get into it, you start understanding the language more, and then you have to do that less and less.
Guest Comedian
Yes.
Kyrie Shabazz
So then it'd be like I'd read it for three, four chapters.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know what I mean?
Langston Kerman
And then.
Guest Comedian
Because now you know what's going on. Yeah. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
But once. But I'm glad that I did that because I had bought it. You know how you buy some shit to be smart and then never read it?
Guest Comedian
Yeah, I did that.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. I read three pages. I was like. And then I. And then when I came back to it, I really gave it what I thought it deserved. And it was one of the most incredible pieces of art I've ever taken in.
Guest Comedian
And I love those moments. And for me, I'm. Dude, that was Shakespeare for me. I never had a reason to give a fuck about it until Denzel. So now that's what he was hoping would happen. Is it? I think so.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think so.
Guest Comedian
That's a conspiracy theory. Like black people should be into Shakespeare more.
Langston Kerman
Denzel ushered in a lot of important stages in my life. I would say.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. Tucked in T shirts.
Langston Kerman
Come on.
Kyrie Shabazz
He's pretty much the best at that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
He looked awesome.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
The boys and girls club.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, man.
Guest Comedian
His whole brainchild smoking pcp.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Pulling Will Smith to the side like,
Langston Kerman
hey, Will, let me giving the man a stern talk.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, yeah. You need that in Hollywood, man. That dude. But do you fear. Cause there's certain things at our age we can't start getting into. And I'm afraid at 35 as a black man, this isn't the time to start loving Shakespeare. Because then now with Shakespeare festivals with weird whites and youth.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't think you have to. I don't think you have to. I think that you don't have to find community in it. I think you could just like your heart aches, bro. You know your heart aches. No, this is personal. This is personal.
Guest Comedian
You set.
Kyrie Shabazz
Your heart aches.
Langston Kerman
You gotta find.
Kyrie Shabazz
Because you gotta find community where you're at.
Guest Comedian
I'm making excuses for my true larpy desires. Probably. Yeah. But I don't want to.
Langston Kerman
You trying to catch a in a corset.
Guest Comedian
You being if it was a black Shakespeare fest. Yes. I can't be around smelly whites in the forest.
Langston Kerman
That's fair.
Guest Comedian
Hopping around with no hygiene.
Langston Kerman
Absolutely.
Guest Comedian
Reciting. I refuse to subject myself to that. So I'm hoping that we catch on. So it's like a black R B
Kyrie Shabazz
brunch slash Shakespeare festival.
Guest Comedian
Shakespeare festival.
Kyrie Shabazz
You might be the first person who's ever pitched this in the world.
Guest Comedian
And it's on record, so let's copyright it.
Kyrie Shabazz
But that would be amazing.
Guest Comedian
I want to enjoy Shakespeare with us. I can't do it in the woods with white.
Langston Kerman
Can I say where I think.
Guest Comedian
But I think that would hit harder.
Langston Kerman
Can I say where I think you're being ambitious And I'm sorry to be this way, but I think we can work this business a little bit. I think you're starting a little early with the brunch.
Guest Comedian
No, no.
Kyrie Shabazz
Brunch.
Guest Comedian
Not. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Langston Kerman
I think you gotta start with just that. Shakespeare.
Kyrie Shabazz
He's saying in the spirit of.
Guest Comedian
The spirit of brunch.
Langston Kerman
Ok, great. You're not serving food.
Guest Comedian
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Langston Kerman
Because then it's going to turn into carnival real fast. Do you know what I mean?
Kyrie Shabazz
And that's not terrible.
Langston Kerman
It's not terrible. I don't mean Carnival party. I mean Carnival Cruises.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what I was going to say.
Guest Comedian
All those fans.
Kyrie Shabazz
Bring them over here.
Guest Comedian
Oh, no, they're Carnival Blacks. No, cruise ship blacks.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, Carnival blacks is a crazy dirt.
Guest Comedian
That sounds like a slur Black.
Langston Kerman
I don't think cruise ship blacks is going to sit well in their.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, I don't want to appear the whole market. I'm trying to get my ticket sales up. So. Cruise ship.
Langston Kerman
Hillary Clinton calling them deplorables.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, but there should be a black carnival.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, there should.
Kyrie Shabazz
Like a traveling black car. I don't know.
Langston Kerman
Black Carnival or not. Barnum and Bailey, they. What was the Black Circus?
Guest Comedian
Tyler Perry plays are kind of like. That's truffling. Black Carnival.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
There is a black circus dog. And I can't believe I'm not remembering
Kyrie Shabazz
there's a black room.
Langston Kerman
Oh, Universal Circus. Y' all don't know Universal?
Guest Comedian
No.
Kyrie Shabazz
You just Googled it.
Guest Comedian
No, it was.
Langston Kerman
Maybe it's Chicago based. I didn't realize that.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, is it Chicago based?
Langston Kerman
My whole life I thought that this. No, they're in Atlanta, of course, but.
Guest Comedian
But Universe Soul.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. The Universe Soul Circus. Yeah, was always traveling. It wasn't quite as.
Kyrie Shabazz
As.
Langston Kerman
As Soul Train now presented. It was a show of respect. We honored it. It was on the radio every week. The Universe Soul Circus is coming to Chicago? Yeah, absolutely.
Kyrie Shabazz
If that's coming back, we should go.
Langston Kerman
I'll go to Black Circus with you.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
It feels like. I think the Harlem Globetrotters were sort of.
Langston Kerman
They live in that space.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's a bit of a black circus.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, definitely a bit of a black star.
Langston Kerman
We're burning bridges left.
Kyrie Shabazz
I've seen the Globetrotters time shout out to showbiz. Looks like me, but smaller. Okay, I got a little dark one.
Langston Kerman
A little dark.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's crazy dark. Globetrotter.
Guest Comedian
Oh.
Kyrie Shabazz
All right, guys, I think maybe we go to break.
Langston Kerman
No, we got to do the intro. We literally haven't even done a formal intro.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay, okay, okay. Yeah. Microchips in your maze. All koala bears are racist. Kick off your shoes and relax your feet and party on down to the X Gate beat. Just kick it, just kick it, just kick it. Welcome all mamas and gentiles alike, to another phenomenal episode of My Mama Told
Langston Kerman
Me, the podcast, where we dive deep, deep into the pockets of black conspiracy
Kyrie Shabazz
theories and we work to prove nothing. We ain't got shit for you. No, I ain't got it, cuz it
Langston Kerman
Ain't it ain't available. Maybe next week we can check in the back. But I assure you we are constantly out.
Kyrie Shabazz
You can hold us upside down, shake
Guest Comedian
us all you want.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't have it for you.
Langston Kerman
It might do something good for my back. I have been feeling some discomfort. You're welcome to bully me if that makes you comfortable. But no, it won't fix the thing. Anyway. Our guest today, We couldn't be more excited that he's here. We're in a brand new space. A comedian of men, many notes. You know him, his don't tell his Tonight show sets so funny. We're so glad that he's here. Kyrisha Baz, ladies and gentlemen.
Guest Comedian
They got your man.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
They got.
Kyrie Shabazz
Your man's on sex. To me. He just handed it to me.
Guest Comedian
I don't know what they all.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't know what they all say. I don't know what they all say.
Guest Comedian
What kind of got you journal is that? That sucks.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'm saying. I'm sorry. I'm sorry we invited you down here behind the old bus station to do this to you.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. Where the first sexual assault in LA happened. For the viewers who don't know, we are in possibly the sketchiest part.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Guest Comedian
But I like it. Cause it feels like real art was made.
Langston Kerman
It's raw, baby.
Guest Comedian
It's good, but it is raw. Unfiltered. Safe from the hands of gentrification and time.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Nothing modern exists here.
Langston Kerman
Nope.
Guest Comedian
This is the future of la.
Kyrie Shabazz
We.
Langston Kerman
We already. We picked our dystopia now.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's good.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's a good. That's a good way to look at it.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, but that. That intro, that sucks.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, I mean, let me try to get you.
Guest Comedian
Can I hear it again? No, I want to hear that one again.
Kyrie Shabazz
That one again.
Guest Comedian
No, no, no. You don't hear my lawyers.
Langston Kerman
Don't give it to him again. He's got lawyers.
Kyrie Shabazz
I got another one.
Guest Comedian
I got another one.
Kyrie Shabazz
I got another one.
Additional Panelist
Get it.
Guest Comedian
Hey, hey. Let's get it.
Langston Kerman
Let's go.
Guest Comedian
Hey, let's. Let's go. Much better. Unemployed. Oh, fuck. Dead. Dead broke.
Kyrie Shabazz
Lift your mom on the couch.
Guest Comedian
Okay, perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This has definitely got you. This is the weirdest rap beef ever.
Kyrie Shabazz
It feels like now I've never been
Guest Comedian
dissed on the soundboard.
Kyrie Shabazz
It feels like he loaded these against both of us. Yeah.
Guest Comedian
This is premeditated.
Kyrie Shabazz
Again.
Langston Kerman
We source this from you, the listeners. I loaded it. I did not pick them. I just loaded it up and I cut out the Ones that were insane.
Guest Comedian
So originally I had a conspiracy in mind, but this new conspiracy.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, let's dig into it.
Guest Comedian
Of Langston's soundboard.
Langston Kerman
Oh, that I. That I am this. See, I told you. I'm the devil.
Guest Comedian
No, I told you earlier.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
But I promise it's not a scam.
Guest Comedian
See, it definitely is a scam. I went from what was the first one was sexual assault to unemployed broke on my mom's house.
Kyrie Shabazz
That was tough.
Guest Comedian
Which it correlates
Kyrie Shabazz
a lot of times.
Guest Comedian
Not me personally, but you do have
Kyrie Shabazz
two cell phones, which is crazy.
Guest Comedian
You do. One is for my mom to let me back in, and the other one is for my public defender. Yeah. So. Wow, that's. No, it doesn't correlate with me, but I think that lifestyle.
Langston Kerman
No, the lifestyles match pretty much. So.
Guest Comedian
And when you fans, you sick fucks, your fans curated the soundboard.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, they did this.
Guest Comedian
So this is what got filtered through. I can't imagine the ones that didn't make.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, no, it's haunting.
Kyrie Shabazz
Well, you know what's crazy? I think we're both really learning about our fans more recently. That they are nasty.
Guest Comedian
Steve.
Additional Panelist
Bro.
Guest Comedian
Oh, man.
Kyrie Shabazz
They're like. They're like bad versions of us. They. They like it sick. They want the nasty stuff.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Keep sending them at. Send them the worst vile.
Kyrie Shabazz
They will.
Guest Comedian
You have.
Langston Kerman
They really will.
Guest Comedian
I want the unrated, unedited, unfiltered sound.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, that would be fire.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
We should do that for Patreon. For Patreon.
Guest Comedian
We should have subscribe to Patreon for the unfiltered sound.
Langston Kerman
They're just long.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
What I'll do then the C. Because then I can't blame you or boy. I'll randomly press one.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Like a Ouija board.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. Close your eyes.
Langston Kerman
As long as you don't press the green one, you're straight. Whatever.
Guest Comedian
Okay.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Oh, okay. That was much better. And it died. Okay, I feel better now.
Kyrie Shabazz
My shit died because I took it to the beach recently.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's embarrassing.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's okay.
Guest Comedian
I feel better because at least I just have a coke addiction.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, that one's not too bad.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, coke addiction is hard.
Langston Kerman
And that's Smokey Robinson inspiring you to get off of that coke addiction.
Guest Comedian
Okay. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
You didn't know that was a Smokey Robinson classic?
Guest Comedian
I did know.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, yeah.
Langston Kerman
That is.
Guest Comedian
That must have been the 80s when he tried hip hop album. It is the 90s.
Langston Kerman
It is a late era Smokey for the DARE program. He has on a Jean all Denim. All denim, top to bottom. He's in the streets and he is shaming for what they doing wrong.
Guest Comedian
Which has historically worked.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Throughout the hood. Your name is.
Langston Kerman
You don't tell me what to do, brother. Brother. The things that we know you got up to.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, we're talking. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Smokey.
Guest Comedian
Smokey's a wildcat.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I. I can't believe you never seen Smokey Robinson gang banging.
Guest Comedian
We gotta watch it in a Canadian tuxedo.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. No, it's.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's crazy.
Langston Kerman
It's one of the best. Best things he's ever done. It is so frightening to think this is the beginning of the music video.
Guest Comedian
Oh, gang violence. Well, he wants to relate to the
Langston Kerman
youth at an all time high.
Additional Panelist
High.
Langston Kerman
It's at an all time high.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's so severe.
Guest Comedian
These ain't gangways. That nigga's not a gang.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. And look, he holding the gun. He just got it on him. And I'm gonna get gang banging to be a public service message because these
Guest Comedian
are white gang bangers.
Langston Kerman
And it talks about casting. Had to move fast.
Guest Comedian
Got you.
Langston Kerman
Smokey was ready to shoot.
Guest Comedian
We got one brother.
Langston Kerman
He got a big ass gun.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Killing.
Guest Comedian
He looks friendly.
Langston Kerman
He left his gun on the ground.
Guest Comedian
He doesn't respect the gun they gave him. They're like, dude, if you can't respect
Langston Kerman
our weapons, that's not usually how people treat their guns. I don't at all, you know, people,
Kyrie Shabazz
except for OG Gun on the ground.
Guest Comedian
We know this is a tough neighborhood because there's graffiti.
Langston Kerman
There's a lot of graffiti. Actively being sprayed there. He is doing that w. Part of
Guest Comedian
this song is cool stuff.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
It sound like he's advertising it.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
It doesn't sound anti.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, it sounds like promoted.
Guest Comedian
I want to join the game, by the way. This looks like outside, but I want to join again.
Kyrie Shabazz
Well, they shot it in the house.
Langston Kerman
Smokey was here earlier.
Additional Panelist
He was.
Langston Kerman
He was our actual first guest. We weren't supposed to say anything.
Kyrie Shabazz
Got you.
Guest Comedian
That's a good first guest.
Kyrie Shabazz
Dropping next week. Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Smokey, I think. Yeah. I want to smoke on the wine and hanging out all the time. Yeah, yeah. Sounds a good time.
Langston Kerman
He listed all the fun stuff, and then he presented a multicultural group of people that you might want to hang out with.
Guest Comedian
It's a very inclusive gang. It's a very diverse gang. Nobody seems to be going hard none. And the gang potluck. It's gonna be fire if they.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, my God. There's gonna have. There's gonna be elote.
Langston Kerman
They Got a fucking Filipino dude.
Guest Comedian
There's gonna be baba gadoush.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. Baba ganoush. Elote lumpia.
Guest Comedian
Baba ganoush. I said it wrong, Mom.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, it was good. It was good. Baba ganoush is.
Langston Kerman
Man, that shit is crazy in here. You said however you to want, want.
Guest Comedian
I appreciate that.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Sometimes we say, boo boo gadoosh.
Langston Kerman
Here's what we need to do because we've. We've taken things too far.
Guest Comedian
Okay.
Langston Kerman
We need to take a break.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay.
Guest Comedian
Yes.
Langston Kerman
And then when we come back, we're going to dig into the conspiracy theory Kyrie that you showed up here with. So let's take a break. When we come back. More, Kyrie, more. My mama told me.
Guest Comedian
Yes, sir. I might say going down Atlanta bazangs. And you need a manual or something. So that's what I told him.
Langston Kerman
I said, come get my nickelated from the real snoozy.
Kyrie Shabazz
We're back.
Guest Comedian
Jesus.
Kyrie Shabazz
That was Baltimore. We don't know what's going on there. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That was a barber in Baltimore.
Kyrie Shabazz
I really understand how that accent works.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Usually I can hear shit and be like, I know what that is, that accent. I don't know. It's.
Guest Comedian
Wow.
Langston Kerman
It's whimsical in a way that I love.
Kyrie Shabazz
It is fun. My little brother's obsessed with it.
Langston Kerman
I really, really like that that somebody invented a new dialect.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
In a way where I can kind of track an emotional journey, but I'm truly not able to gather the sentence. That's. That's a phenomenal pool.
Kyrie Shabazz
You take somebody from Jamaica and you take somebody from Baltimore. Yeah, I understand. Jamaica first.
Guest Comedian
Speaking of, I want to go back and watch the Wire now and see, because I don't remember hearing that accent as much.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't think they did it. They.
Langston Kerman
I don't think it.
Guest Comedian
They did the Odyssey thing at.
Langston Kerman
At the. The scale that it does.
Guest Comedian
Oh, it was post the Wire, I think.
Langston Kerman
I think after the Wire, the Internet became. It created a complicated relationship with Baltimore and the accent because it became too popular. Right. And so then the Baltimore natives. This is my interpretation of it, but maybe I don't understand it well enough. Created. They innovated again. They were like, bro, we are not your punching bag. We will find new silly ass ways for niggas to talk.
Kyrie Shabazz
We're going to get manipulated.
Langston Kerman
And they perfected it and they really found it. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Which is. Which is heroic. I couldn't do it, man. I wish I could come up with some new bro.
Guest Comedian
Like, the bay has an accent, though,
Kyrie Shabazz
or like the Bay has an accent y' all have. Y' all are, you know, when you, you know, even. Even like the city versus Oakland. Yeah. You know, versus the Peninsula.
Langston Kerman
And y' all are. Are E40 is that innovative space. You know what I mean? Like, there's so much. There's so much of y' all language that has now become universal. That used to be just the way niggas from the Bay talked.
Guest Comedian
And that this era was such a fun time because there were so many whimsical, magical words. It was so magical mixed in with some of the hardest gang banging niggas ever. Like. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Cause you the bird.
Guest Comedian
The bird, the sneeze, the smeeze. Words like shabooba la bloopy.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
It's like imagine that being your last words before you're slain in the streets of Oakland.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Is a nigga talking about shaboo blah bloopy. So the day.
Kyrie Shabazz
It would be hard and my eternal soul would not find rest.
Guest Comedian
It would never find rest. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I am going to haunt that.
Guest Comedian
You need a desi. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'll be on the corners of Jack London Square. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I'm. I'm going be scaring the out of cars driving past.
Guest Comedian
But that's all la, I think too. Their gang banging was so whimsical. Cali gang banging culture. You grew up in Chicago, right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
So, yeah, I'm used to East Coast, Midwest. It's the hoodies, the timberlands, the. Out here, there were like flags and colors and dances. Like the Crip Walk is such a festive display of.
Kyrie Shabazz
I mean, California is still paradise.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
So it's like, even. Even.
Guest Comedian
So it's hard to have that hardened soul.
Kyrie Shabazz
Even, even. Even the bottom of it is still the bottom of paradise.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Right.
Guest Comedian
Truly.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know what I mean?
Guest Comedian
It's like, truly.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's like you've been to the Midwest in the winter. Like, it just does not get that bad here.
Langston Kerman
It can get bleak.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Oh, my God.
Kyrie Shabazz
It gets bleak in the nice parts of the Midwest.
Guest Comedian
Chicago was more. I grew up in Cleveland, where you would have streets and streets of just abandoned houses.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Dark abandoned houses. Street lights out, touring. We came out here to Cali. It was like, oh, this is the hood. Like, this is the nicest neighborhood I've ever been in.
Kyrie Shabazz
Everybody's got houses.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The jungles looks good. It's. It's. So Cali has always had some sort of whimsical gang thing where I think that's what makes Baltimore cool. It's like, now that they have this new accent with the kind of urban, tough grittiness, they're right in a good pocket.
Langston Kerman
And I think they. The accent doesn't stray so far from their roots that they even have to, like, announce, hey, we landed on some new shit, y'.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
All.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's not like when you hear people from Toronto talk and you're like, when did this. When did this kid.
Langston Kerman
I've been going to Toronto for a long time. Y' all wouldn't.
Guest Comedian
No croties and woes.
Langston Kerman
Y' all wasn't doing all this.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
Especially not as many of the Indian dudes that I.
Kyrie Shabazz
Right, right, right, right.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
No.
Guest Comedian
Geez. And I still refuse to believe Toronto's tough. I don't.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think every big city can be tough.
Langston Kerman
I think it's tough in a way that I don't understand.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And so I acknowledge that. Like, what doesn't scare me doesn't mean it won't kill me.
Kyrie Shabazz
Right.
Guest Comedian
But that's the hard part. That's why I think stuff like Top Dog. I never really watched the series, but I couldn't get into finding these.
Kyrie Shabazz
Top Boy.
Guest Comedian
Top Boy. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, yeah. I thought you were Top Dog.
Guest Comedian
Top Dog is definitely Top Dog.
Kyrie Shabazz
Sorry.
Guest Comedian
Top Dog. Top Dog.
Langston Kerman
Love the show.
Kyrie Shabazz
Did you get hit by the bus station?
Guest Comedian
Yeah. No. Top Dog.
Kyrie Shabazz
Call the dog.
Guest Comedian
Please don't murder me. No Top Dog. Definitely intimidating. Top Boy, is.
Kyrie Shabazz
It just.
Guest Comedian
I can't get into English hip hop, rap.
Langston Kerman
I don't like it either.
Guest Comedian
We don't.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't like. We talked about it.
Guest Comedian
We don't like to have.
Kyrie Shabazz
I like watching. I like watching Top Boy, though.
Guest Comedian
I'm giving a shot. But, yeah, the rap is horrendous.
Langston Kerman
It's a real problem. I cannot buy it. And I know that that's not fair and I know it's not true. I am imagining stabbings left and right in these communities.
Guest Comedian
Plenty of murders.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I'm not ignorant to the fact that you're having real experiences. You sound like crumbs. And that doesn't work.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's even talking about, like, what we were talking about with the Odyssey. America did a really good job of being like, nah, they talk like hoes over there.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Remember we used to.
Kyrie Shabazz
Not over here.
Guest Comedian
I don't even like what the Revolutionary War was about. We're not. We gotta pay y' all and sound like bitches. Nah, nah, fuck that. Fuck that.
Langston Kerman
I'll be honest. I don't even like when British people sing in British accents. You sing like me.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, Adele. Cuz when you hear Adele talk, it is different.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I don't want that shimmey sweep ass shit.
Guest Comedian
We don't have a me spy.
Kyrie Shabazz
You say, hello,
Guest Comedian
I wrote the album. Like. No, say it.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I think, I think we should pay them the respect of giving them history and they should pay us the respect of making art and culture. American accent. Because it's the best.
Guest Comedian
Unless it's an epic.
Langston Kerman
Unless it's an epic.
Guest Comedian
That's the only time you get to use that.
Langston Kerman
But if we're talking about modernity, if we're talking about modern culture, make that shit American. We did it.
Guest Comedian
Make it American.
Kyrie Shabazz
What about rock and roll music?
Guest Comedian
See, I love a old. That's a little more mummified rock star with an English accent.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what I'm saying.
Langston Kerman
That's a little more complicated.
Guest Comedian
I respect that.
Kyrie Shabazz
I kind of like. Does the Rolling Stones count?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, they're British.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, but I mean, it feels like they sing British.
Langston Kerman
Yes, they do.
Kyrie Shabazz
Or they sing a little bit of a mixture.
Langston Kerman
They do a hybrid.
Guest Comedian
But that's why you said modern too.
Kyrie Shabazz
Right. Today at the reception. That's kind of. Yeah, I, I, Yeah, I like it when they do. They do rock and roll.
Langston Kerman
I think rock and roll of yesteryear is a little different than rock and roll of now.
Kyrie Shabazz
So I don't want them head back singing.
Guest Comedian
No, I don't want the emo accent, the.
Kyrie Shabazz
Whoa. I never thought that today I saw the.
Guest Comedian
Like that Whoa.
Kyrie Shabazz
I never thought about that.
Guest Comedian
The Uber stanked in with the Aventure.
Langston Kerman
Jeffy.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's pretty fun.
Guest Comedian
I don't want.
Kyrie Shabazz
I actually kind of might be into that.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Only when it's black. Because there's a new evolution. I don't know if you guys have like these black rock bands who are going back to that sort of style.
Kyrie Shabazz
I have seen that on Instagram.
Guest Comedian
Hooba stank bands. I love what they're doing.
Kyrie Shabazz
Hooba stick. I don't know that.
Langston Kerman
I think, I think, like, I think there are now punk bands. Black punk bands.
Guest Comedian
No, but they're not going for like
Kyrie Shabazz
the second Hoover stank. I get knocked down and I get up again.
Langston Kerman
Hoover stank is the hanging off the side of the building.
Kyrie Shabazz
Sing it.
Guest Comedian
I'm not a per. What's the.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, okay.
Kyrie Shabazz
Isaac stick.
Guest Comedian
It's a Isaac knows who pacific thing.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay.
Guest Comedian
It's. Maybe it is only me they have. No, it's an error.
Langston Kerman
The reason. Yeah, the reason that. Yeah, you've heard. Okay. You've heard this.
Guest Comedian
You are Not Alone by Michael.
Langston Kerman
You've heard this. You know this song? Perfect person.
Guest Comedian
This is very much an era of rock.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't know this song. My white music scope is large but limited at the same time. It's very odd.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, but this was very, like, mainstream. Yeah, but the black bands now are kind of bringing back that sort of yellow card.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, I know. Yellow card.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. There's a place called Ocean Avenue. Yeah. Yeah. So I like seeing black bands do that. But I hated that annoying sort of rock. Oh, I love accent.
Kyrie Shabazz
I kind of like that voice.
Langston Kerman
I liked. I liked when we all had a thing that was completely our own. Yeah, it was really nice when everybody had their own. And then we started mixing and matching and now.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know who ruined it? Limp Biscuit. When they started doing that rap rock, it was. It really all. It was like, no, no, no, no. Yeah, rap and rock. I don't want you to mix. You're taking the worst parts about each of them.
Langston Kerman
You're not even good at either one of them.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Guest Comedian
So you weren't a fan of, like, the Jay Z Lincoln Park?
Kyrie Shabazz
No, I hated that.
Langston Kerman
Oh, I'm not gonna lie.
Kyrie Shabazz
I hated that.
Guest Comedian
If you hated that, I'm alone. I love that.
Langston Kerman
That was huge for me.
Kyrie Shabazz
I didn't hate it.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, dude, that.
Langston Kerman
I really fucked with that.
Kyrie Shabazz
I didn't like that whole era. The only one of those songs of that weird era I liked, and this is embarrassing, I did like the 100% reason to remember the name song. You know what I'm talking about?
Guest Comedian
No.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. 10%, 50% skill.
Guest Comedian
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Concentrated power of will.
Langston Kerman
That's actually one of the worst.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's the one I.
Guest Comedian
That was corn. That was a band.
Kyrie Shabazz
Corn or 5% pleasure. 100% pain.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that song stunk.
Kyrie Shabazz
Remember the name.
Guest Comedian
But the numb.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't like Linkin Park.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I used to love.
Guest Comedian
Oh, you don't. I love Lincoln Park. Yeah, that was.
Kyrie Shabazz
I like. You know who I like?
Guest Comedian
I love the shit.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know who I like? Can't wake up.
Guest Comedian
Wake Evanescence or something.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yo, wake up, baby up inside.
Guest Comedian
And the bitch was literally falling from the.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, that was good. Can't wake up, wake up. Yeah, that's that white be. When white music pieces.
Langston Kerman
That's who I was confusing.
Guest Comedian
So why. Where is rock music now? Cause I felt like it was so dominant. Like store, Hot Topic, Spencers. Stores were built on the backs of these bands. And now it feels like you can't even hear a rock song and save your life. The last one might have been Arctic Monkeys.
Langston Kerman
I think the charts have just shifted so much that we're not aware of what. What's out there.
Kyrie Shabazz
And I feel like younger people seem to really pull a lot into their music, so it's like they don't want to be defined by genres at all.
Langston Kerman
And we also. We lived in an era where, like, when. When new music came out, it was like an announcement for everybody.
Guest Comedian
Right.
Langston Kerman
Everybody knew when 50 Cent was coming out. My dad knew when 50 Cent was coming out. He didn't give a. But he was aware because it was like, sort of around media.
Kyrie Shabazz
Everybody heard in the club.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, everybody.
Langston Kerman
There were only six ways listening to music.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
So you listen the way you listen, and now you have every option. So music is just so privatized that we're not aware of what exists anymore.
Guest Comedian
My parents didn't like rap, but they would want to know what was the number one song on 106.
Langston Kerman
In part, yep.
Guest Comedian
Like, they just. Out of curiosity.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know what's funny? This is funny because my mom was really young. I watched my mom outgrow rap, and now she pretends like she was never over there.
Guest Comedian
Oh, she. Okay. She's the.
Kyrie Shabazz
We all thought it was great when I learned the words to the Humpty Dance, first of all.
Guest Comedian
So she's a huge denier.
Kyrie Shabazz
Loved it at parties.
Guest Comedian
She's like, I've always loved Anita Baker.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, it's like that. Like. No, I was always into Whitney Houston more. And it's like, lady, we listened to the. You had to pick the radio station.
Langston Kerman
I rode in the car with you.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, we were.
Guest Comedian
It was pretty much the station back then. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, it was. My mom liked rap until whatever year year Romeo and Juliet came out. You remember that song?
Guest Comedian
It's like Romeo and Juliet.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think that was when my mom started making a departure that was enough for her. I think that was kind of the end of it, where it was like, I can't.
Guest Comedian
I will say that.
Langston Kerman
That if you're riding around with your kid and that becomes. You do have to draw a line.
Kyrie Shabazz
I get it. I get it for sure.
Langston Kerman
The boys back there.
Additional Panelist
I can't.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, I need to put smooth.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
He does all the words.
Langston Kerman
He's definitely not going to school.
Guest Comedian
He's singing every.
Kyrie Shabazz
But I remember I got in trouble for singing, but she always listen to nasty music. Because I got in trouble for singing. Get off at school. That Prince song got to have A mother for me Your big ass on this way. I was singing that song.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And.
Kyrie Shabazz
And 23 positions in on one night.
Langston Kerman
And teacher heard you.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
And then reported you to the principal.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
What?
Guest Comedian
And look at you now.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I Fuck.
Guest Comedian
She's with the child.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. She said, can you do that to me?
Kyrie Shabazz
She said, this little boy is too sexy, dude.
Guest Comedian
That man. It's an era I miss. But I'm glad black people, black rockers are now any space we can invade in music. I fully support the country invasion. Even though it's getting amok now, it's losing its plot.
Kyrie Shabazz
Well, I think country mimics rap in that it just became commercially a really easy way to get a lot of money and not like, work that hard on your craft. Right. Cause like, pop country, I've heard a lot of, like, popular country of the last 15, 20 years. It's just as bad. It's just as, like, formula. It's really easy to make.
Langston Kerman
I'm not gonna lie. I do fuck with a few cuts over there.
Kyrie Shabazz
What are you. What are you talking about?
Guest Comedian
90s? I'm talking 90s. Cause I have country as well. I'm talking about a fucking neon multi moon. There's a song. I don't know if you know what I mean. You know what I mean?
Kyrie Shabazz
Neon Moon hits. Yeah.
Guest Comedian
There's like a good air of that 90s country.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's like kind of a. They sing about some kind of an alcohol and then like. Or some kind of a liquid and then like a tough day.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
And then I like it when white
Guest Comedian
people talk about roads down the road. Yep.
Kyrie Shabazz
Seeing on that dirty old back road.
Guest Comedian
They love a dirty old back road.
Kyrie Shabazz
They love being dusty.
Guest Comedian
Dusty and dirty.
Kyrie Shabazz
They want to talk about a dusty ass grandpa.
Guest Comedian
When they say make America great again, they mean get rid of paved streets and gravel.
Kyrie Shabazz
We needed dusty.
Guest Comedian
We need dusty, dirty paths to watermelon patches.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think that's what they want. I think they want dusty roads and they want to jar their own fruits.
Guest Comedian
100% terrible.
Kyrie Shabazz
I wish I could draw char fruits. Really?
Additional Panelist
Really.
Guest Comedian
Me too. I think it's a skill we'll need now.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
I'm upset that our culture isn't built on. Yeah. On us surviving what will be the downfall of society.
Langston Kerman
Well, this, I think is. And we haven't brought ourselves back in. In any formal way, but we are.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think that's an Isaac job, maybe.
Guest Comedian
Oh, my bad. I'm sorry. I'm just talking to y' all niggas like we in the green room.
Langston Kerman
It's our way. And you are not changing a thing.
Guest Comedian
I appreciate that.
Langston Kerman
We don't ever. We never will. That said, the. The conspiracy you came today with is. Is. You said, my mama told me the Leviathan has risen, and my mom would
Guest Comedian
be upset if I didn't clarify. It's not a conspiracy. It is the word of God.
Langston Kerman
Whoa.
Guest Comedian
That's why I picked it.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's.
Guest Comedian
It's not conspiracy. It is the will and testament of all the Lord.
Kyrie Shabazz
If you don't think that they conspired to give us what his will and testament was.
Guest Comedian
Right, right.
Kyrie Shabazz
So that's the biggest conspiracy ever. How many people wrote the Bible?
Guest Comedian
Hundreds.
Kyrie Shabazz
And how long ago?
Guest Comedian
Hundreds.
Kyrie Shabazz
And how long ago from when it happened did they write it down?
Langston Kerman
Come on.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's the conspiracy.
Guest Comedian
A lot of it was oral communication.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. You know how that always works.
Langston Kerman
Well, also, hundreds of people wrote it down, and only, like, 16 dudes got to put their name on it.
Guest Comedian
But you can't tell that to your black mother.
Kyrie Shabazz
You know what I mean? Dudes could read.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
You can't turn up to your black mom. No, no, no. The Bible.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Hollywood. That's the Hollywood change you. Yeah, no, I'll get a lecture. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
But I also couldn't invite my black mother to this space. And in that way.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
You wouldn't invite your mom to a
Guest Comedian
live show to this space.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, no, no, no, no. Right now this is not safe. I meant, like, if we had a show or something.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I mean, she could come to
Kyrie Shabazz
a show for sure.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Oh, she didn't come to the mint ones.
Langston Kerman
My mom lives in Ghana.
Guest Comedian
Oh, in Ghana. Okay.
Kyrie Shabazz
My mom lives in San Bruno, the Ghana of California.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. Oh, yeah, for sure. For sure. Dude. This one for me, I picked this one mainly because it was. It's such absurd, the reaction and fear of it if there's no threat there with the Leviathan thing.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, right.
Guest Comedian
And I think so many. For those who don't know what the. Like, it's just a creature that no man can kill but God, and then he feeds it to mankind.
Kyrie Shabazz
It's a water creature, right?
Guest Comedian
It's a water creature. So in a way, it's almost like the end result is we get a new meat. So there's no. Because he feeds it to the people. So it's like, this is going to be new barbecue. Leviathan is basically a new Wagyu type meat that we get to ingest, but it's aquatic.
Kyrie Shabazz
Let me tell you.
Guest Comedian
Aquatic agent. New crab just dropped new crab.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what I'm saying, dude.
Langston Kerman
Cause.
Kyrie Shabazz
Does it have a shell? What do you mean? You don't look happy at all.
Langston Kerman
This scares me.
Guest Comedian
Are you not into. Are you afraid of new exotic meats?
Langston Kerman
See, you're being so optimistic about this, but immediately my heart sank when you said this, because I go, okay, we've got this new majestic meat.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Motherfuckers are gonna commodify that so fast, we are gonna be killing each other.
Guest Comedian
Oh, it won't be free.
Kyrie Shabazz
Why the fuck was that?
Guest Comedian
I'm sorry.
Kyrie Shabazz
We're not killing each other over crab right now.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, but this new meat, there's gonna
Kyrie Shabazz
be an abundant amount.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. What meat?
Kyrie Shabazz
How much?
Langston Kerman
Leviathan can go around the Earth, the planet?
Guest Comedian
It's exclusive. You're average.
Kyrie Shabazz
You're worried about the wrong thing, right?
Guest Comedian
Leviathan will be in a corn dog. No, this won't be for commoners.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, that's what. That's what scares me. That's what I'm saying. It's going to create.
Kyrie Shabazz
Langston. There's already a meat hierarchy at play, dog. There's already a meat hierarchy. You know how many people have not had Wu?
Guest Comedian
You don't think SAG AFTRA members will have access? Your union dudes entitle you to Leviathan on set, bro.
Kyrie Shabazz
We're in.
Langston Kerman
I get invited to the SAG Awards. They serve in Leviathan.
Kyrie Shabazz
Man, we're already in the meat hierarchy. We're. We're in it. We're in it. I hate to break it to you. You're up top, baby. How many meats haven't you had?
Langston Kerman
Wow.
Guest Comedian
Like I said, you're closer to more exotic meats than we are. Yeah, anybody should be lamenting, it should be I. And I'm not throwing you in there, boy level, but, you know, I had
Kyrie Shabazz
horse six months ago.
Guest Comedian
You're close to Leviathan.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's. You're going to get. You're going to get. You're going to get some of that.
Langston Kerman
I, I, I'm.
Additional Panelist
I'm.
Langston Kerman
Hey, I'm part of the proletariat, baby.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. Come on, man.
Langston Kerman
I'm a man of the people, but
Guest Comedian
the whole conspiracy is just around. There's a rock formation that looks like a dragon in the ocean.
Langston Kerman
It's a giant.
Guest Comedian
Therefore, this is Leviathan.
Kyrie Shabazz
So they think it's, like, resting underneath
Guest Comedian
this rock formation, frozen. And so what they're saying is, with climate change and everything and the icebreakers breaking out. Yeah, that's supposed to be his Head right there.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
This Leviathan head.
Langston Kerman
Giant Leviathan head. Head.
Kyrie Shabazz
Which barely looks like an embryo.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, it does. It barely looks like.
Langston Kerman
It does look like snake head to me. But it really is counting on so much stuff that everything looks like something.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
If you tell me.
Kyrie Shabazz
I mean, there could be some shit in that ice, though. If there's all these diseases that are coming out of the ice, there's going to be some other shit.
Langston Kerman
I think that we are constantly imagining these big, giant, giant, majestic monsters when the truth is is that everything that has ever been foretold has been an allegory. It is a Leviathan could very well be coming.
Guest Comedian
Right.
Langston Kerman
But whatever rests under that is not a giant serpent.
Guest Comedian
This isn't it, though.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, it's. It's whatever the.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
This is a rock formation.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's what I mean.
Guest Comedian
That's where I'm at with it. Leviathan is there, but this is. Isn't.
Langston Kerman
Oh, you're saying there is a Leviathan under the earth?
Guest Comedian
In a way.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Because look, we already got the. Here's the strongest evidence they have towards the. Right.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Is that we already had our government confirm that there's alien life forms in the ocean or some kind of. They all hear about that. Like, it was like when the episodes.
Kyrie Shabazz
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They've said. They've said it. Yeah. He had to distract from.
Guest Comedian
From the.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
From the real. Yeah, from the real Leviathan, which was a pedophile ring of millionaires.
Langston Kerman
Are those aliens?
Guest Comedian
Right, right.
Langston Kerman
Damn, they coming close this time.
Guest Comedian
Fuck yeah. Y' all worried about us? Leviathan about to come eat your kids.
Kyrie Shabazz
There's not enough to eat.
Guest Comedian
And that's a standard theory, too. They think all the missing children have been going to feed this sort of underground sea beast.
Kyrie Shabazz
Why would they not? I feel like it's easier to source adults. No one want the children.
Additional Panelist
Children.
Kyrie Shabazz
No one wants.
Guest Comedian
It always has to be children. For some reason. I don't know.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Ancient beast. For some reason.
Langston Kerman
I think it's the reason we value Ve.
Guest Comedian
I think Leviathan has a taste for Ve.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think breaks the orphan's legs.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. Yeah. I think the sickness is to imagine them at their most vulnerable and.
Kyrie Shabazz
And then.
Langston Kerman
And then do it.
Guest Comedian
But like most conspiracy theory, nothing ever adds up or makes sense. And there's never, never a solution with it. It's never like, no one's like, hey, this is Leviathan. It's real. It's coming to attack us.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
By the way, I have dragonstone or glass or Right and that's.
Langston Kerman
That is the bummer for me with all of these conspiracy.
Guest Comedian
There's never a solution is.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Like, come on, dog. If that. If this is legitimately a Leviathan and you are legitimately worried about him coming and up the planet, what's the game plan? Let's ban together.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Let's finally give that Independence Day ass speech and fix this.
Kyrie Shabazz
That wasn't what I thought.
Guest Comedian
I have anxiety whenever this plays. I never.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, no, this is. It sucks that you're on the first one.
Guest Comedian
No, no, no.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'll dial it in over time, but right now I'm just really. I'm shooting.
Guest Comedian
It makes me appreciate your fans more.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They miss it.
Langston Kerman
They miss the thing they've been craving.
Kyrie Shabazz
They said.
Guest Comedian
What the.
Langston Kerman
They yelled at us a lot. Here's what I'll ask you before we go to break. You believe in the possibility of the Leviathan underneath the earth, ready to strike and then be taken down by the Lord and thus feeding the people and
Guest Comedian
really great deadly sound.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay.
Langston Kerman
Do you worry you're going to get caught in the crosshairs of Leviathan?
Guest Comedian
Meaning I'm going to be one of the people he eats. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
You are on a coastal city.
Langston Kerman
He's not dying without taking a few of us with him. This ain't, you know, Godzilla. Godzilla shows up at the middle to the end of the film.
Guest Comedian
I'm one of those people. I don't believe I'm a main character in the whole. I think we have to get over main character syndrome.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
So if I have to be one of the people when Leviathan comes up, he has to just snatch somebody up because he has to make a cool entrance. You have to do the dragon bite and shake somebody. If that's me, great.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
Damn.
Guest Comedian
But not in, like a suicidal way.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, no. But, like, if that's how I gotta go. A lot of people just go to, like, you know, degenerative diseases. Yeah, that's.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. I don't wanna be.
Langston Kerman
I wanna die. I want to die by Leviathan. So silly, man. I want the Leviathan.
Kyrie Shabazz
Like that guy who was pooping in Jurassic Park.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Who was pooping in Jura. That's exactly what I was thinking of. I want to be there taking a shit. Leviathan knocks my roof off and he go.
Guest Comedian
But I do want Leviathan to respect me. And I want. I don't want the bite where it's like, you nibble and then you just toss it with, like, half of my body. Yeah. Like, do the toss Me up and like. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
Leviathan eats you whole.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. I want it to be like a penguin eating a fish.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, exactly.
Guest Comedian
Exactly.
Langston Kerman
There's a lot of meatball on that bone, playboy.
Guest Comedian
I just don't. Yeah, I want. Yeah. I want him to be so satisfied by that meal. He's like, I'm good.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
But yeah, not just, you know that one bite where, like, they shoot him
Kyrie Shabazz
with the death blow after he's satiated from you?
Guest Comedian
Exactly.
Kyrie Shabazz
Like he's rubbing his belly and then they say, oh, now, but if I
Guest Comedian
could have it my way, I would rather be one of the people at the time. Same table.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. I'd like to survive. I don't expect that.
Guest Comedian
I will. Leviathan hibachi.
Langston Kerman
Haviathan labachi. Leviathan. Hibachi. It sounds so good.
Kyrie Shabazz
We should get some hibachi. Hibachi after this.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. Leviathan rams.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
All right.
Kyrie Shabazz
Just, like, regular.
Langston Kerman
That's so ambitious.
Guest Comedian
Can I. Before we go, can I tell it. Speaking of dinner, Lanc. This story which you. Sticks in my mind because it changed the way I viewed the industry forever. You might not remember it. Oh, no, you look terrified. You look terrified.
Langston Kerman
Because I be saying shit.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't.
Guest Comedian
No, no, no.
Kyrie Shabazz
Especially at dinner.
Langston Kerman
Yeah. If you feed me, I'll talk crazy.
Guest Comedian
No, that was a black. That. No, this was. I wanted stand up. MC Used have to be stand up competitions.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
And I won it one year. And next year, what they do is they have you go travel with them to all the cities they audition in and they'll bring people that were part of the program who end up being really successful. So they'll have people come in, you know, know that notable things.
Langston Kerman
Weren't he successful.
Guest Comedian
No. But at that time, Nick, I was like, yo, that's the dude from Insecure. Like, that's cool. Like, it was. It was a dinner with us and the executives. It was in Chicago. And you were sitting there com.
Kyrie Shabazz
I bet he was g. I bet he was. If I know my boy, I bet he was going bad.
Guest Comedian
No, no, no, no.
Kyrie Shabazz
This is.
Guest Comedian
This makes it crazier. You were as calm as a cucumber.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, that's how he.
Guest Comedian
That's the. The dude. Calm as a cucumber. Chilling. Yeah, that. And we talking. It was like, oh, yeah. Everybody talking about they travel and stuff. And you was like, oh, yeah, No, I took a lift here. I got in a car accident. I don't know if you remember this. Oh, yeah, you took a lift. You got into a car accident. Yeah, it was A bad. Kind of a bad accident.
Langston Kerman
It was a very bad accident.
Guest Comedian
But you left unscathed.
Langston Kerman
Y.
Guest Comedian
But his tone and his manner of talking to his is like, yeah, no, I got into a terrible car accident and can you pass some potatoes? And it was so chill and relaxed.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guest Comedian
As if someone who had not just been in a horrible accident and we had follow up questions which seemed to shock you.
Langston Kerman
Yep.
Guest Comedian
As if there was no reason for legitimate concern. You like, well, I'm okay and I'm here. What it like, did the driver die? Did what happened?
Kyrie Shabazz
Was that kind of an accident?
Langston Kerman
No, it was a bad accident. It was a dude's. I was in the backseat on a highway and a dude was going. My driver was going too fast, tailgating a lady. And she stopped fast. And he stopped not fast enough. And shit got crunched and I fucking wiggled my way out. I looked at four cars smushed together and people screaming at each other. Nobody was. I. I knew nobody was hurt, but I saw people yelling at each other and trying to resolve shit. And I walked up that expressway ramp and I never looked back.
Guest Comedian
And got another lift, dude. But he's.
Langston Kerman
I called an Uber.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
I said, okay,
Kyrie Shabazz
yo, that's David, that's.
Guest Comedian
But he's telling the story casually.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yo, you're so funny. He's so funny.
Guest Comedian
Can you to potatoes, please? Like, just.
Kyrie Shabazz
You walked up, dog. You walked up the highway, doc.
Guest Comedian
And that's what me up.
Langston Kerman
I got my suitcase out of that broken trunk, yo, and I went the my way.
Guest Comedian
Can I say I had so much respect for you and fear for you at the same time, because the balls that took. I would have did the phony fake linger to make. Is everyone okay? You're losing your car, your livelihood to make an income.
Langston Kerman
Can I. I'm gonna tell you something that we can't use this part either.
Guest Comedian
Okay? So without knowing that context, I'm like, okay, this dude is.
Kyrie Shabazz
They're like, this is your travel partner?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yo, meet your new sergeant.
Guest Comedian
Yo. I. I was like, this dude could lead us to the prom. Like, it was a moment where I'm like, no matter what happens to you in this fucking industry, in this game, no matter what goes on. And you, dude, the way you were telling, like, yeah, no, I was ejected from a windshield and flew about 3 yards over the breezeway and almost was hit by a semi truck. The fact that you got up, dust yourself off, ordered another lift in front of a four car pile up. Yeah, dude. And proceeded to come here and eat zucchini and steak. An Illuminati style dinner.
Langston Kerman
It was an illuminati dinner. Absolutely.
Guest Comedian
100%. I was like, yo, this is the level of unbothered and unfuckwithable. I need to reach to. To be success. I haven't found it yet.
Langston Kerman
No.
Guest Comedian
But the fact that you just fucking casually survived a near death experience and,
Langston Kerman
brother, it hasn't solved any of my problems.
Guest Comedian
Okay?
Langston Kerman
That's not what saved me at all. That behavior has not propelled me forward in any way, shape, or form. That said, I disagree.
Guest Comedian
That said,
Langston Kerman
we find it how we can. It was a fun. You were so funny on that tour. That was like a fun little run that we got to do. I'm grateful that I completely forgot that those two stories were synced, because it
Guest Comedian
was moments after, right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Literally, I came from the accident straight to be with the dinner because we had the dinner first and the show that night.
Guest Comedian
See, I thought the shattered glass in your shirt was a design choice. I didn't know.
Kyrie Shabazz
Cause she wears fancy shirts.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
And I do have a shattered glass shirt, but it is.
Guest Comedian
Yeah. I'm like, am I behind the trainers? Niggas wearing shattered windshield glass?
Langston Kerman
No. I've been in three different uber accidents.
Guest Comedian
That's crazy. Oh, my God. That's an alarming amount.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, that's two too many.
Langston Kerman
No, I really should be out the game.
Guest Comedian
Don't get in a waymo.
Langston Kerman
No, no, no. I'm not fucking with you.
Guest Comedian
You gonna be the first Waymu.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Langston Kerman
I like that you say way more.
Guest Comedian
Waymo.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, nigga.
Guest Comedian
Shit. Waymu. But hit the nigga on the counter button. Yeah, that's.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
I got it. Yes, bitch.
Kyrie Shabazz
Chocolate vanilla swirl with cookie crunch, please.
Additional Panelist
Okay.
Guest Comedian
Jesus Christ.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'm learning. I'm learning.
Guest Comedian
Jesus Christ. Yeah. No, I say way more. Yeah, that's a way more.
Kyrie Shabazz
We.
Langston Kerman
We should take one more break.
Guest Comedian
Please.
Langston Kerman
We should. And then we should do a quick voicemail and we'll get out of here. All right. More. More. Kyrie.
Additional Panelist
More.
Langston Kerman
My mama told me
Voiceover/Ad Reader
this episode is brought to you by Facebook. So you were scrolling on Marketplace, and there was. It was the bike you'd been searching for. You sent a message, and it turned out the seller was super chatty, kind of funny, and an avid cyclist. The next thing you know, you're in a cycling crew. Well, a community cycling group. The thing about Facebook, you might find more than what you're looking for from a browse to a bike ride this summer. Find more on Facebook.
Kyrie Shabazz
We're back with Langston Kerman. Kyrie Shabazz and the white John Goodman.
Langston Kerman
The white one, the black John Goodman. All right, we need to do a voicemail.
Kyrie Shabazz
We're gonna do a voicemail.
Langston Kerman
We haven't filtered through any of these.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'm just picking this one.
Langston Kerman
If you pick at random, that is
Guest Comedian
not good news for me at all. That is not working.
Langston Kerman
Our callers are como se d say insane.
Guest Comedian
Are y' all like the black Joe Rogan?
Langston Kerman
We are trying our best not to be.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay, the T shirts come soon.
Guest Comedian
I am a white Puerto Rican. Nope, already off top.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
No. Yeah. Nah, the super bowl was in February.
Langston Kerman
What a funny choice.
Kyrie Shabazz
I didn't know. I mean, no, I mean, to get.
Langston Kerman
To not let her.
Additional Panelist
Yeah, I was just scrolling on reels, right. And I seen, I guess, an interview with Terence Howard, right. And they're talking about Game of Thrones. And he said, I don't know this. So my conspiracy is separate from his. But he's asserting that because Game of Thrones got all this incest. It got on incest porn. But he's talking about himself personally. Personally. Oh, my conspiracy. Is Chance Howard out here watching incest porn on some weird. But that's it, y'. All. Yeah,
Guest Comedian
I mean, I think that's pretty, Pretty, pretty fair.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
I don't know. There's no conspiracy.
Langston Kerman
What am I gonna argue against it? Oh, yeah, you'd probably be watching this.
Guest Comedian
Cracked it and solved it.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, yeah, I think, I think.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, that was a fully form.
Langston Kerman
I think he saw something he liked and then had mixed feelings about that.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, you gotta watch that stuff with the sound off.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
Never learn their names. Never learn their stories.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Guest Comedian
That was a strong hypothesis back by the scientific.
Langston Kerman
Now here's my question. With the incest porn of it all.
Additional Panelist
Oh, no.
Langston Kerman
I do have follow up questions and I apologize if that scares you, David.
Kyrie Shabazz
It does.
Langston Kerman
My concern or question rather with the incest porn. Are we calling it incest porn when we absolutely know for a fact they are not related?
Guest Comedian
I think the narrative is if they're pretending to be.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
I think that's the point.
Langston Kerman
So, like, even though they are very
Kyrie Shabazz
clear, it's not like organic where it has to be real to put the label on it.
Langston Kerman
Everybody pretends. Everybody pretends like it's this like terrible, naughty thing, but it's still just two strangers fucking. They're just bad at acting and have a bad story.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. But I think that a lot of people are going for the bad story.
Guest Comedian
I got you.
Langston Kerman
That they are getting rocked up on that bad story.
Guest Comedian
Yeah.
Additional Panelist
On.
Guest Comedian
On the incest of it. Yeah.
Langston Kerman
That. That is not my way. So I. I didn't understand that.
Guest Comedian
No.
Kyrie Shabazz
No one thought it was.
Langston Kerman
Yeah, well, I. I'm.
Kyrie Shabazz
I'm.
Langston Kerman
I declare it.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay.
Langston Kerman
It's been said. And I'll say it again if you need me to. I'm not into that.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, me.
Additional Panelist
Me either.
Guest Comedian
Even with the twin chick.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay, man, come on. No.
Guest Comedian
Cause twin sisters, like, it was.
Kyrie Shabazz
You're right.
Guest Comedian
No, no. Y' all twin.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, you're right.
Guest Comedian
Thank you for your bravery. You're right. No. Oh, my God.
Kyrie Shabazz
No, you're right. I'm agreeing.
Guest Comedian
Me and Terence Howard. Cause at least with twins, it's like, that's a twin thing versus. This is two siblings.
Langston Kerman
Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's literally the same thing.
Guest Comedian
No, but they don't look alike. Like, for example, the twin thing is like, I'm so hot, I'll fuck myself.
Langston Kerman
No one flinched when Ray Allen got to see them two twins in Loving Basketball. I think those were in.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think those were just two white ladies.
Langston Kerman
Oh, they weren't twins.
Guest Comedian
No, I think they just two white bitches that look alike.
Langston Kerman
I thought they were twins.
Kyrie Shabazz
That's a different movie.
Guest Comedian
I don't want to be the. The incest. The now feel corner.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think he just too. I don't think they even had the same hair color. Now you gotta look.
Guest Comedian
Or the algorithm finna be on incest born now.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah.
Langston Kerman
He got game. The. He got game. Those were.
Guest Comedian
Oh, I know you're talking about. Yeah.
Kyrie Shabazz
When he went to big with Rick Fox hooked him up.
Guest Comedian
I don't know if those were.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't think.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, I would have to go back and watch. They did look. But they were two blonde, big city white. Right?
Langston Kerman
Yeah, I. I typed in he got game twin scene, and then it sent me to the Disney Channel Original movie double team.
Guest Comedian
That definitely was twin Disney Channel.
Langston Kerman
That's a horrifying correlation.
Guest Comedian
Mar. Ashley. Uncut versions.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah, no, I think that that was not. I don't think those were twins, Langston.
Guest Comedian
But y' all know what I mean. There is this twin. Does the twin fetish separate from the in? Like, can somebody mentally separate a twin fetish from me?
Langston Kerman
I do think that, like, would it
Guest Comedian
be separate genres of the same if they're identical?
Kyrie Shabazz
You're not talking about, like, fraternal.
Guest Comedian
Yeah, no, because then that'll be had two sisters.
Kyrie Shabazz
This is a crazy line to draw.
Guest Comedian
No, man, look.
Kyrie Shabazz
What you. Okay. It's like, ostensibly, like, if you could have a clone.
Guest Comedian
Yes.
Kyrie Shabazz
If you could clone a lady.
Guest Comedian
She's so hot. She's herself for your pleasure.
Kyrie Shabazz
Talking about them with themselves.
Guest Comedian
The twins fucking each other.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Oh for you like y' all know
Kyrie Shabazz
what I'm talking about.
Guest Comedian
What kind of die on the scale
Kyrie Shabazz
diabolical evil villain hideout is this happening at?
Guest Comedian
There's a thing called twin. I'm not this is this can't be news.
Langston Kerman
I I agree with you.
Guest Comedian
There is a twin thing.
Langston Kerman
I think that that win like a commercial twins men get horny for double the price.
Guest Comedian
It grows for them for sure.
Langston Kerman
And I think the presumption of patriarchy is to demand that these people who are literally siblings would somehow be willing to fuck you at the same time because they have the same face.
Kyrie Shabazz
Okay.
Guest Comedian
It's double that. So I wonder if people can separate. That's what I'm saying. Is that counted into incest? I would I'm saying it is incest.
Langston Kerman
I I'm gonna go.
Guest Comedian
I'm gonna go. So bold as to say yes.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don't think you can count.
Guest Comedian
I I I don't think I think people rash lines. I think there's a difference between a twins versus this is my sibling. Well the twin is a s I'm not dying on this.
Kyrie Shabazz
Yeah. This is crazy. This is why some argue that they're closer than regular sibling.
Langston Kerman
They can read each other's minds.
Kyrie Shabazz
I don' so if you have the
Guest Comedian
same hive mind that makes it less incesty.
Kyrie Shabazz
I think I think we're gonna save
Guest Comedian
you masturbation people where you've been?
Kyrie Shabazz
What you got to promote.
Guest Comedian
I've been on Twitch says onlyfans. No man. Right now I have right now I have a donto that came out that I'm really happy about. It's all about surviving and dating in the apocalypse. It's a mix of me just being frustrated going out on the road. Cuz you guys know the algorithm is crowded with all this dating and people hate them being at odds with each other.
Additional Panelist
Yeah. Yeah.
Guest Comedian
Talkings and freaks and who should pay for this and that and dinner. So it's just a blending of oh the world is on fire. We're talking about this. How do we blend it? How do we uplift short kings and tall kings. Yeah. And have a really practical argument of what these red flags and icks that we call now. How would they be beneficial to us in the end time scenario?
Langston Kerman
This brother putting short kings on his shoulders. We honor the work. Yeah. Fuck with him. Go.
Guest Comedian
And acknowledging that fat kings won't survive. I'm on a CPAP so I wouldn't survive.
Kyrie Shabazz
But if you can't sipap or regular
Guest Comedian
pap, it might be. It's the severe one. So I think the BiPAP, you can outgrow it. Yeah. So I don't know. I know y' all like conspiracies and. And incest stuff, but it's strange soundboards. But if your audience, if y'.
Voiceover/Ad Reader
All.
Guest Comedian
If y' all want to watch some. I think it's dope. Stand up. Check it out, man. It's out right now. And I think you could get some good tips on how to survive the apocalypse that is going to happen with Kyrie.
Langston Kerman
Watch the. Watch the clips. So funny boy with you.
Guest Comedian
Thank you, man.
Kyrie Shabazz
I downgraded from a BiPAP. Now I'm on a regular path.
Langston Kerman
Let's go.
Guest Comedian
Hopefully no progr, brother.
Additional Panelist
Yeah.

Kyrie Shabazz
Bye, bitches.
This episode blends sharp-witted banter, biting social commentary, and playful conspiracy theorizing as comedians Langston Kerman and guest Kiry Shabazz (with other panelists popping in) meander from everyday Black cultural quirks to a deep-dive into the biblical conspiracy theory of the Leviathan—the giant sea creature said to be fed to humankind by God. While the stated topic is “What Does Leviathan Meat Taste Like?”, the journey is a wild ride through soundboards, British accents in movies, regional dialects, race and pop culture, and the absurdities of conspiratorial thinking itself.
Irreverent, spontaneous, and deeply playful—often pivoting from incisive Black American cultural critique to gleefully absurd speculation. The hosts let digressions run wild, turn personal anecdotes into group therapy, and keep conspiracy at the intersection of “what if?” and “who cares?” The language is a blend of Black vernacular, stand-up punchlines, and meta-commentary on the performance of conspiracy itself.
You’ll laugh, be puzzled, and probably want to Google several references—exactly as intended. The rambling digressions are the point; the titular Leviathan is less a question than a frame for exploring how and why Black folks congregate, myth-make, and clown on each other in the face of both real and outlandish fears. The result is both an education and a hangout.
