My Momma Told Me – "YTLiens: Motherf*ckin Mini Episode" (RE-RELEASE)

Released: November 20, 2025
Hosts: Langston Kerman & David Gborie
Theme: Exploring Black Conspiracy Theories, with a special focus on the tongue-in-cheek "White People Are Aliens" theory

EPISODE OVERVIEW

This mini episode of My Momma Told Me dives headfirst into a wild theory that’s been floating through listener inboxes: Are white people actually aliens who colonized Earth? Langston and Dave take on an anonymous, provocative listener email, using their signature blend of sharp wit, irreverence, and social commentary. The conversation weaves between semi-serious speculative history, jokes about race and language, and a healthy amount of self-aware absurdity.

KEY DISCUSSION POINTS & INSIGHTS

1. Listener Email: "White People Are Aliens"

(Starts approx. 02:53)

• The crux of the episode is an email suggesting that "white people are aliens who colonized Earth and black people were the original inhabitants."
• The sender, self-aware and biting, calls themselves a member of the "white devil race"—setting the tone for the comedians to unpack the idea with both humor and skepticism.

2. Dissecting a Racial Slur: 'Moon Cricket'

(04:07–10:11)

• Dave shares how his wife, unfamiliar with the history, interpreted 'moon cricket' as "a beautiful phrase."
• The hosts debate if it’s possible to re-appropriate deeply offensive slurs for positive uses, riffing on how language and meaning evolve.
• Langston: “No, that’s not correct.” (05:07)
• Dave: "At some point, one person went from being called a nigga to then being like, I’m a nigga.” (07:34)

3. Language, Reclamation, & the Weight of History

(07:45–10:11)

• Dave muses about someone being the "pioneer" of transforming the N-word into a term of endearment.
• Langston warns it's always a complicated, gradual cultural shift, rather than one person's brave decision.
• They riff about potentially making "moon cricket" a new positive nickname—complete with playing around with MC as shorthand.
  • Langston: “We got to shorten it, though. It’s too many syllables, like, MC Moon Cricket.” (09:17)

4. What If White People Really Are Aliens?

(11:13–14:49)

• The hosts riff on the email, questioning the plausibility and motivations for such a theory.
• Langston: “If anybody’s an alien, it’s Elon. … That doesn’t make any sense because they’re still humans, right?” (11:34)
• Dave plays devil’s advocate, musing if white people could have hidden some alien genetics while passing for human:
  • “If I’m a white alien trying to pass as human, I would tell you that we have the same genetic makeup when in fact I had some other shit going on.” (13:09)
• Langston questions the lack of technological superiority attributed to the supposed “aliens”—"Why did they not implement any of that technology when they got here?" (13:33)
• They joke about the "Mayflower-ass spaceship" crash-landing scenario, paralleling white settlers' arduous journeys. (14:04–14:30)

5. Where Do White People Come From?

(14:49–19:43)

• Questions about the true origin of white people become the focal point.
  • “It makes me nervous that we can’t find receipts on where white people started.” (21:44)
• Dave and Langston dig into the etymology of "Caucasian," realizing its connections to regions not traditionally associated with whiteness (the Caucasus—Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan).
• They puzzle over the rarity of traits like blonde hair and blue eyes, observing that those features are “super recessive and super mutated from the original human genome.” (19:43)

6. Migration, Skin Color, and Human Evolution

(21:21–26:14)

• The hosts recognize humanity’s African origins and touch on theories about migration, environmental adaptation, and the development of lighter skin over time.
• The idea that people tend to reproduce with others who resemble themselves gains some traction:
  • Langston: “You ever notice that a lot of couples look alike?” (23:53)
  • Dave recalls an uncomfortable moment when his wife’s grandmother points out their resemblance.

7. Nature, Nurture, and Group Identity

(25:05–26:14)

• Dave shares an anecdote about chickens segregating by color, paralleling human behavior regarding group similarity.
• This segues into a bit about white people being the result of generations of “light-skinned people” reproducing with each other.

8. Final Take: Are White People Aliens?

(26:44–27:32)

• The hosts jokingly entertain the theory as possible, tongue firmly in cheek, showing gratitude to the listener for the wild email:
  • "I think white people are aliens." (26:44) – Langston
  • “Thank you, white devil, for your sacrifice." (27:06) – Dave
• The episode swings back to reality, recognizing the subject’s absurdity while poking fun at deeper questions of historical erasure and racial origins.

NOTABLE QUOTES & MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• On the slur debate:
  • Langston: “No, it’s a greasy lipped... No, she can’t. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It’s bad.” (05:19)
  • Dave: “But there had to have been a pioneer of nigga.” (08:02)
• On unprovable origins:
  • Langston: “It makes me nervous that we can’t find receipts on where white people started. That gives credibility to this conspiracy theory.” (21:44)
• On recessive traits:
  • Dave: “It’s actually, like, super recessive and super mutated from the original, like, human genome and shit.” (19:43)
  • Langston: “I’ve always said that blond people are freaks…You ever met a blonde adult is crazy. You’re like, what are you doing? You’re just out here voting.” (19:52)
• Comedic riff:
